Defend like Mount Tai reinforcements
After a big victory, in the big tent of General Liu in Qinghe, Liu Yi sat in the middle, Bao Zhong on the left and Li Ping on the right, and the generals were lined up in turn, in addition to these generals, there were Zheng Meng and other front-line commanders of the four cities, as the first city defender to fight with the Yellow Turban today, Liu Yi specially asked Zheng Meng to speak to impart experience, and the successful tactics of the North Gate should also be used as a reference for the other three gates, and it is more appropriate to narrate from the first line.
At first, Zheng Meng was still a little restrained for fear of saying the wrong thing, but under the encouragement of the general, he gradually became more comfortable, maybe his words were not elegant, but the truth was just enough to make the officers of the other cities better understand. Seeing Zheng Meng's radiant spit flying around, the rest of the military academies had envy on their faces, this kid is lucky, why didn't the moth thief come to beat him today?
"In the future, the stones piled on the top of the city will be increased, and the same is true for the golden soup and boiling oil, and if you find the opportunity, you must give them a hard time, general, I am done." After saying something, there was half a cup of tea time, and after finishing speaking, Zheng Meng didn't believe that he could say so much, and finally looked at Liu Yi and said.
"General Qi, Lao Zheng is a talent, what he said is really good." Liu Yi smiled and tilted his head to Qi Junyan and said, the latter also smiled at him, Zheng Meng's beautiful battle is also the face of the Fifth Army and him.
"Three, what Zheng Sima said, you have to keep in mind, the moth thief will never only hit the north of the city every day, Liu Mou's ugly words are in front, if there is a loss because you didn't hear clearly, Liu Mou can be punished for your other crimes." Liu Yi looked at the other three armies who were responsible for guarding the city, and said with a smile.
"No, no, no." When the three of them heard this, they all got up to receive the order, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their chests, once it was their turn, they had to fight more beautifully than Zheng Meng, otherwise they would be sorry for others to be so detailed.
"Zheng Meng, not only to say, but also to pick a few of today's best performing soldiers to explain the tactics to the brothers, you and the other three personally accompanied, Zheng Sima said that the gains and losses of this battle will be spread throughout the whole army tonight, and tomorrow Liu will also personally inspect the city, generals, what else do you have to correct what Zheng Meng said, if Zhang Yan goes back to review today's defeat, we must also strive for excellence." Liu Yi smiled and then continued, and then the generals also spoke one after another, and the atmosphere of discussion in the account was particularly warm, and some improvements were made to the tactics of defending the city.
The battle of Qinghe defense is the most important part of the Han army's Qingzhou War, Zuo Zhonglang's general Lu Zhi resolutely chose the young rebel general Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng, the head of the Golden Wolf Army, to guard Xiongcheng is to place high hopes on it, blocking Zhang Yan's Black Mountain army can help the three famous generals of the Han army to join forces to deal with Zhang Jiao and Bocai, so the gain or loss of Qinghe City is a matter of overall importance! And Liu Yi did not live up to Lu Zhi's trust, at least in the first half of the month, no matter how Zhang Yan tried his best to do his best, Lang Sheng could always cope with Yuru and often had strange tricks, not only causing the Yellow Turban Army to suffer heavy casualties and even climbing Qinghe City only a handful of times.
At night, the Yellow Turban Dazhai Zhang Yanshuai's tent was brightly lit, and the coach Zhang Yan was still discussing with a group of generals how to break the city, but both Zhang Yan and the generals under his command had a tired look on their faces, and there was a deep helplessness in their eyes! Everyone knows what it means to take Qinghe to the Yellow Turban army, and they also know that their strength is far superior to that of the other party, but Liu Langsheng has become an insurmountable barrier in Qinghe City, no matter how hard you try, it is always difficult to touch, and that frustration has begun to spread.
Zhang Yan didn't speak, and the generals didn't speak, the atmosphere in the tent was very depressing, just today they suffered the biggest defeat since the siege, and the casualties were still above the first day! Originally, Zhang Yan had been guarding against the enemy's elusive and strong cavalry army, but the fact that they did not see any movement after the attack for half a month made him relax his vigilance, it seemed that it did not play a big role when defending the city, and the enemy cavalry had already turned to the southern front, but just when he relaxed his full strength to attack the city, the cavalry of the iron cavalry battalion commanded by Zhao Yun and Qin's army gave them a fatal blow, and the soldiers suffered countless injuries!
The last defeat in Moyunling was due to the lack of anticipation of the enemy, and today when Zhang Yan wanted to use the cavalry to deal with the cavalry, he found that he was even more wrong, although his more than 10,000 cavalry occupied the numerical advantage, but whether it was training or equipment, including tactics, the Yellow Turban cavalry was by no means a star and a half, especially the opponent's extremely sharp cavalry is his biggest nemesis! Zhang Yan must be glad that he ordered the withdrawal early, and there is still an infantry army to respond with a strong momentum, otherwise the only mobile force in his hand will also suffer heavy casualties!
40,000 cavalry, after watching the cavalry duel, in Zhang Yan's heart, he had to have at least 40,000 cavalry under his command to defeat or even completely annihilate the iron cavalry, but this is almost impossible, the cavalry is much more difficult to train than the infantry, and the Yellow Turban Army has always lacked horses. The more than 10,000 cavalry troops under his command have been pieced together, and their strength can also rank among the top three in the Yellow Turban Army! Right now, as long as it wasn't for Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, he had to fight a decisive battle with him, otherwise he would not be able to annihilate the Iron Cavalry Battalion cavalry at all! And with his knowledge of the opposing cavalry commanders, they would never make such a mistake.
"Dashuai, let's bypass the Qinghe River and go south directly to join Bo Shuai, even if it is a few hundred miles of mountain roads, it is better than consuming the lives of the brothers here, then Liu Langsheng is brave and good at fighting the morale of the Han army in the city is extremely high, and there is this cavalry army, they have already begun to attack our grain road, if it continues like this, our army is afraid that it will be dragged down by Liu Yi here." At this time, someone in the account finally began to speak, and everyone saw that it was Qu Shuai Mu Fang, and he was a little hesitant in the first few words, but then he said it faster and faster, and the expressions of many generals in the account were also supporting Mu Fang's words.
"Marshal, even if you retreat to Montenegro, it is stronger than here, half a month, this is only half a month, our army has suffered more than 30,000 casualties, but Qinghe City, a total of only three times to climb the city tower, not once insisted on half an hour was defeated, smoke attack, cave attack, we have used any method, but I don't know where Liu Yi got so many skills at a young age, our army has not taken advantage of half of it." Seeing that Zhang Yan was silent, Mu Fang said again, during this time, he led the army to attack Xicheng, and the methods were exhausted, and there was not much progress.
"Marshal, what Mu Shuai said is, that Liu Yi has also been poisonous, since six days ago, the wounded soldiers of our army have increased greatly, and now the grain and grass are not a problem for the time being, but the medicine is no longer enough, if we ignore those wounded and let them fend for themselves, our army's morale will be greatly reduced, and the marshal has to make a decision early." Yu Fei, another Qu Shuai in charge of Yellow Turban logistics, followed Mu Fang and said, his head has been several big in the past few days. Half a month of fierce fighting Jinan City did not take, but the archery skills of the Han defenders were practiced more accurately, and now the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks have exceeded 6,000, and half of the seriously wounded!
Wound the enemy but not kill, this is still a suggestion made to Liu Yi by a commander named Shi Jun in the White Tiger Battalion archer team, his idea is very simple, the general will never give up his comrades easily, a wounded sometimes often needs one or two people to take care of, and the more wounded of the enemy army will also affect their combat strength! At that time, Liu Yi praised it when he heard it, and immediately rewarded a jar of special wine, which can be regarded as extremely rich, Shi Jun mentioned that he really didn't expect it, not because he thought less but on the contrary, sometimes he would ignore some simple methods if he thought too much, so the tactics of the Han army were adjusted.
"Mu Shuai and Yu Shuai are both reasonable, but our army lost nearly 40,000 brothers in half a month, how can Zhang be willing to leave Qinghe? Besides, Lu Zhi is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, he asked Liu Langsheng to hold the Qinghe River and cut off the road for our army to advance, how do you know that he will not set up ambushes on the road? If there are 30,000 or 40,000 Han troops like the Iron Cavalry Battalion Cavalry, what should we do when our army goes out of the mountain road and they attack in columns? After a while, Zhang Yan finally spoke, but it was a series of rhetorical questions, and he didn't have the intention of bypassing Qinghe, but the greater the loss, the more unwilling he was, even in the face of Xiongcheng, the battle was too bad.
In the face of Zhang Yan's rhetorical question, Shuai fell into calm again, it took half a month to suffer casualties, who was willing to give up Qinghe? What the marshal said is also good, what if you walk the mountain road and encounter an enemy ambush? What should I do if I am attacked by an enemy army? Don't forget that Liu Yi is also best known for his raids, and he not only has cavalry troops under his command who come and go like the wind, but also the foot soldiers who make all the Yellow Turban soldiers feel terrified! The direct result of the use of short surprise attacks in the Qinghe guards is that the two strong forces of Qinglong and Xuanwu are well known, and whenever they attack the city, the Yellow Turban soldiers are most afraid of the enemy army opening the city gate.
The Yellow Turban generals fell silent in the tent and pondered countermeasures, and Liu Yi in the big tent of the Han army in Qinghe City held a silk silk that the cavalry had just shot into the city with an iron cavalry battalion in his hand and also fell into contemplation, seeing this situation, although Qi Jun and the others were curious, they couldn't help but ask each other, Lang Sheng must be thinking about what tactics, and the silk silk sent by Zhao Yun must also have important information.
"Everyone, this silk is the handwritten letter of Lord Liu, the assassin of Youzhou, who led several righteous troops to help." After reading it, Xiao Yi handed the silk silk to Bao Zhong, and then said to everyone. Afterwards, I had to explain to Zhao Yun again, no matter what kind of letter it was in the future, it must be done in accordance with the practice of secret letters, otherwise once it falls into the hands of the enemy, it is not a joke to leak the military information.
Liu Yi has always been extremely concerned about military intelligence, so now the Golden Wolf Army has its own set of secret words, among which Liu Yunju, who is deeply familiar with the doorways of the rivers and lakes, has made great contributions, and it is he and Liu Yi who have created this set of simple secret words after a period of discussion, which can greatly increase the security of military information in the transmission.
"Liu Thorn Shi is old and strong, and his majesty has not diminished." On the side, Qi Jun said that he did not have any displeasure about Liu Yi handing over the letter to Bao Zhong first, but secretly praised Lang Sheng's transparency in his heart, although with the order of Lu Zhonglang and the help of Wen Assassin Shi Xiao Yi can definitely order Bao Zhong to act, but since entering the Qinghe River, he has maintained enough respect for the latter, Bao Zhong is also reciprocating the peach, doing his best, the Qinghe original defenders did not participate in the battle many times, but it is very appropriate to prepare materials for logistics. As for Liu Yan, who used to be the old superior of Qi Jun, unlike his son, Liu Yanshi is extremely talented.
"What General Qi said is that the heart of the predecessors for the country is worthy of emulation by our generation, how to arrange it for the assassin Shixia, I don't know what you have to say?" Liu Yi smiled and said, I heard that the reinforcements came and the generals here did not have much excitement and joy, the biggest reason was that the battle situation had been smooth in the past half a month, and the Han army could be described as a success! However, since the reinforcements are coming, can they work together to make some articles? Liu Yi also has to consider one or two, besides, will there be Liu Bei's three brothers among Lord Liu's reinforcements?
"General, Qinghe is impregnable under the general's command, and the enemy army cannot advance an inch in the half-month siege of the city, and now the morale of our army is high, and the army and the people are united, so it can make Zhang Yan helpless, so it seems that there is no need to take any more risks." Bao Zhong handed it to Liu Yi after reading the silk silk, and the latter transferred it to Qi Jun, and when he heard Lang Sheng's words, Bao Zhong was also the first to speak, although there was flattery in the words, most of them were sincere, and now in Jinan City, when Liu Yi's name is mentioned, whether it is the military and the civilian or the officials, there is no one who does not give a thumbs up.
"General, what General Bao said is reasonable, now that our army is sitting in Qinghe and defeating the enemy's front, it is the most stable way to continue to hold on, and it is not appropriate to move lightly." Pu Yangfeng, the second military captain here, said that although he felt that Bao Zhong was a little sycophant, Liu Yi did have that ability, and what he said was also quite in line with the art of war. Maybe Pu Yangfeng himself didn't notice it, but now the word general is getting more and more pleasant.
"General, I see that the Montenegrin army has failed to attack the city for half a month, and the morale is depressed, if our army can cooperate with Liu Tingshi's internal and external attacks, and then give him a ruthless blow, it will be more effective." Lin Jun, the captain of the Third Military Academy, said that he has a strong temperament and has always had a strong style, and Pu Yangfeng is already stable compared to him.
"What General Bao Puyang said is reasonable, and Captain Lin has something to think about?" Liu Yi bowed his head slightly and said, it is normal for Bao Zhong Pu Yangfeng to seek stability, and it is also in line with the current situation, but according to Lang Sheng's use of troops, he is always unwilling to blindly sit and defend, so he asked this question, and he said that Lin Jun had a plan.
"Er, the army just thinks so, there are generals who have a strategy, and the army and others are executing." Lin Jun said that all the generals, including Liu Yi, are all Wan'er, and you are the one who is the shopkeeper? But to be honest, Lin Jun's words are very representative of the minds of a large number of generals, and General Liu always has a way.
"In the opinion of Yi, if you want to cooperate with the two armies inside and outside, it is the key, and now Liu Tingshi led the righteous army to come to its combat strength Liu is not clear, and the third brother is difficult to make a conclusion about this for a while, but our army is currently defending the city is effective, so it is better to let Liu Tingshi temporarily hide and cooperate with Zilong to disturb the enemy's grain road, and wait for the enemy's change to our army again." Glancing at Lin Jun Liu Yi and then said with a straight face, he didn't know how much combat power the rebel army led by Liu Yan was, and this was also the key to taking the initiative to attack and cooperate with the battle.
"The general's words are yes, Liu Tingshi still wants the general to reply to the letter in person, but if you want to hide and wait, you have to wait for a hidden place." Qi Jun said happily when he heard this, in his heart he regarded Liu Yi as a little brother, and he was only happy to see him mature and prestige getting higher and higher, and he would do his best to help him, and it was really hearty to fight with Liu Yi.
Liu Thorn Shi Shun'an: I have learned from the letter, thinking that the past is full of good luck, and I dare not be the praise of the assassin history, but I dare not forget the heart of the country. The assassin led the rebels to beg for thieves, which shows the loyalty and patriotism of the monarch, how can Yi dare to order the assassination of the history? At this time, Qinghe City was strong, and Zhang Yan's attack on Black Mountain suffered heavy casualties for half a month, and it was difficult to make an inch, but the main force of more than 200,000 troops was still there. In the shallow view of the little nephew, when he wants to continue to take advantage of the Xiongcheng to consume the enemy, the assassin can be temporarily hidden between Xiao Cheng in Wei County, Zilong is a righteous brother of Liu but does not avoid suspicion, is a good general's talent, he led the cavalry to disturb the enemy's grain road, the little nephew sits in Qinghe to consume the enemy, and when he is tired and depressed, the little nephew and the assassin Shi join forces to fight it can be miraculous! The junior said in vain that he still asked the assassin to be examined, and Liu Langsheng paused.
Late at night, the lights of the Qinghe Town Army General's Mansion are still not extinguished, and since Zhang Yan attacked the city, there is almost no time to turn off the lights here, except for patrolling the city and personally supervising the battle, Liu Yi will spend most of his time here, at this time he is putting the pen in his hand on the pen stand, and the letter with Liu Yan has been completed. And the handwriting on the silk is also gradually disappearing, writing this letter Liu Yi will not use ink but Liu Yun specially prepared for him "hidden liquid", the silk silk is close to the lamp and baked before the handwriting will be visible again.
"General, the broth that Lao Wang just made has been delivered." Zhang Shibai's voice came from outside the door at this time, even he couldn't enter and leave the study when Liu Yi was writing letters, the security of intelligence Lang Sheng has always been improved to the highest level, and it will be further strengthened with the maturity of various technologies in the future.
"Come in, I've just eaten it, hey, Lao Wang is really stubborn." shouted Zhang Eighteen and saw him come in with a bowl of steaming broth, Liu Yi couldn't help but shake his head and said with a wry smile, the rations of the whole army are controlled, and he is also the commander in chief, which made the Qinghe garrison generals extremely surprised at that time, but those who are familiar with Liu Yi have long been used to it. But when he arrived at Wang Ping in the kitchen camp, he didn't dare to violate the military law, but he said, the kitchen camp doesn't need to go to the battlefield, we have to give all the share to the general, and we can eat whatever we want at any time.
"Hehe, where is this old Wang stubborn? What day has the general slept more than two hours since he entered Qinghe City? Now that it's youth, I don't think it's going to be ironman in the long run, so how can I do it if I don't make it up? Zhang Shibai said with a slight smile, but put the soup can on the table without glancing at the table.
"Yo, this sentence is quite old-fashioned, if I remember correctly, you are three years and six months older than me, and now you are less than twenty-two, come, you can also get a bowl." Liu Yi smiled when he heard this, Zhang Shiba's words were a bit bitter, which was very different from his image on the battlefield, and he also served a bowl to the other party with his own hands as he spoke, and Lao Wang's cooking skills were still first-class.
"The general can't say that, what are we, if you don't follow you, I'm afraid that the Valley of the Wind won't be able to hold on, at most we will sell some strength, the general is different, it must take a lot of brains to think so much every day, but Lao Wang said that it is not right to supplement the form with form, that pig ...... Does it really work? Although Zhang Shiba's words are joking, they are also very sincere, and now there are not many people in the army who can talk to Liu Yi like this, not that Lang Sheng has any shelf, but with the improvement of his status and prestige, it naturally makes people feel awe.
