【Chapter 351】 Battle of Hanyang (3)

During the shouting, Li Li's tone paused slightly, and then he clicked his mouth and said loudly with disdain: "Tut-tut! You Ma Shoucheng is an eight-foot man who is willing to be a rat, and he only dares to hide in the city and speak wildly, but he does not dare to go down to the city to answer. Li Moushen is not worth the Ma family's army, and it is unfortunate to have a general like you who is as shrunken as a turtle, and tens of thousands of Ma Jiajun soldiers and soldiers! ”

After speaking, Li Li held the reins in his hand, pretended to turn the mount, shook his head and sighed: "Hey! It's a pity, it's a pity, tens of thousands of Xiliang men are buried in the hands of your Ma Shoucheng like this, and they don't blink an eye! ”

"Bang! I'm mad at me! ”

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city around him heard Li Li's shouting, their faces showed different colors, and there were many soldiers in the distance whispering to each other, Ma Teng was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and he smashed his fist on the female wall in anger, glaring at Li Li who was about to ride his horse away, and shouted: "Wait! Li Li'er wait a moment, Ma is not afraid, he will meet you when he goes out of the city! ”

"Huh?" Li Li feigned surprise in astonishment, immediately grabbed the reins, and stopped by the moat for a long time, watching Ma Teng quickly walk down the tower.

In front of the Xiliang Central Army, Dian Wei muttered to himself: "Now that our army has besieged Jicheng, tens of thousands of soldiers are coming to the city, and only need an order from the lord to capture this city in less than half a day." Why did the lord specially invite Ma Teng out of the city to answer, wouldn't this move raise Ma Teng's identity, increase the morale of the enemy army, and destroy his own prestige? ”

After hearing this, the military advisor Jia Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "General Dian's words are wrong. The lord has not tasted defeat in a hundred battles, how can his words and deeds be without a cause?

Now, the lord invited Ma Teng out of the city to answer, which on the surface seems to have given Ma Teng enough face, but in fact it is quite meaningful!

This time, we led an army of 100,000 to attack Xiliang, with nearly 80,000 cavalry and only 20,000 infantry troops. At present, our army is going to attack Jicheng. War cavalry is not suitable for storming cities, and you have to rely on infantry to attack cities. If Ma Teng had made up his mind to defend the city and let people block the city gate in advance, then it would have been impossible for our besieging soldiers to break through the city gate except for climbing the city wall, and they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties after the battle.

But for now, we can breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Ma Teng comes out of the city, it means that the city gate is not blocked, then we can focus on hitting the city gate when attacking the city, and break through Jicheng with the least casualties! ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Dian Wei scratched the back of his head embarrassedly when he heard this. But he touched the hard and cold helmet, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the teaching, I really didn't expect that there would be so many ways to shout in front of the battle!" The lord said earlier that I still lack the ability to lead the troops, and I am a little reluctant to take charge alone. I'm still not convinced. Now it seems that the lord is right. Dian does have a lot to learn. Otherwise, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss!

Just like the Ji city in front of me, if I Dian Wei was ordered to attack this city, I am afraid that I have already led the troops to attack it at this moment. If Ma Teng really blocked the city gate from the inside, then the casualties of the soldiers in this battle would probably be large, and it would be difficult to take the city unless it climbed to the top of the city or knocked down the city wall. Alas. Compared with the ability of the lord to lead the army to fight, Dian is not as good as the horse, and the distance is more than thousands of miles, the gap is too big! ”

Jia Xu was slightly stunned. Turning his head and smiling approvingly: "General Dian should not be humble, he has too high requirements for himself. The lord is cautious, far-sighted, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away, which is a matter of course, because our lord is a rare generation of heroes in the world! And General Dian learned the art of war from the lord, which is right, but there is no need to be arrogant. The general only needs to guard against arrogance and rashness, and use troops prudently, and does not have to follow the example of the lord everywhere. After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no such thing as a static battle, and there are no ready-made examples to borrow. However, there is one thing that the general must remember that as a general who leads the troops, he must know himself and his opponent in battle, so that he can survive a hundred battles.

Just like today's battle, Jicheng Ma Teng is a battlefield general, who has been famous for a long time, and can be described as a long-standing battle, calm and spicy. Fighting against such a veteran, we must be cautious, not the slightest mistake, not negligent, and not rash the enemy. Once our army is slightly weak, it will leave an opportunity for Ma Teng to take advantage of, and it will not be able to attack and fall into a stalemate. If this battle is prolonged, our army will inevitably not be able to hold on for a long time, so we can only have no choice but to withdraw our troops and make plans for the future. However, if our army can't capture Jicheng, then Han Sui of Jincheng will definitely have no fear, follow Ma Teng's stubborn defense of the city, and stubbornly resist to the end. In this way, it will be difficult for the lord to exterminate Ma Teng and Han Sui's second division within a month, which will affect the situation in the entire Xiliang and disrupt the lord's subsequent plans and strategies, and the consequences will be extremely serious.

On the contrary, at present, Ma Teng only needs to go out of the city to talk to the lord, regardless of whether he has blocked the city gate in advance, but now that he is out of the city, it means that the obstacles at the city gate have been cleared. Later, the lord will order the siege of the city as soon as possible, and the focus of the siege is the city gate. As long as our army pushes down the fence of the three wells to fill the moat, they can forcibly erect wooden planks and take the city gate directly. As long as our army approaches the city gate, there is no threat to the moat, and after cutting the hanging rope, our army's siege equipment can reach the city and attack the city in a big way. In this way, no matter how Ma Teng defended the city, he could not stand our army's attack on the city in turn and attack day and night, and within ten days, the city would be broken! ”

Listening to Jia Xu's eloquent words, Dian Wei couldn't help nodding, feeling that he had benefited a lot.

And the generals who heard Jia Xu's words were not the only ones in Dian Wei, Guo Yan, Huang Zhong, Teng Yu, Duan Xuan and other battalion generals gathered in front of the Chinese army at this time, listening thoughtfully to Jia Xu's explanation of the gains and losses of the soldiers and the coping strategies.

And the reason why Jia Xu recounted today's battle in such detail was also to implement Li Li's long-term jihua and deepen the generals' awe of the lord Li Li. This time, Li Li set out an army of 100,000 to the west, not only to exterminate Ma Teng and Han Sui, but also to have deeper intentions. Otherwise, he didn't need to bring 80,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to the battle, but should bring more infantry troops, so as to facilitate the progress of the war.

As for Li Li's true intentions, Jia Xu could guess some, but he didn't know well. However, as a military advisor and strategist, what he has to do is to take precautions, share the worries of the Lord, and prepare in advance to avoid panic.

In addition, at present, the Xiliang Army is also a big business, the soldiers and horses are becoming stronger and stronger, and there are as many as 1,000 generals in the army. At that time, it would not be possible for Li Li to bow down to every war. It is inevitable that the military power will be lowered, and the commanders of each battalion will be in charge. In this way, the burden on Jia Xu, the military advisor, will be heavier. For this reason, it is necessary for him to increase his weight and influence in the hearts of the generals of the battalions in advance, so as to save these generals from taking him seriously in the future, and under the pretext of not accepting military orders from abroad, he is good at making propositions and doing his own thing.

――――――――――――――――

Under the city of Ji County.

"Wow!" As the city gate slowly opened, Ma Teng, dressed in black armor, galloped out of the city on his horse and whipped his horse, and walked opposite Li Li.

One is more than three feet wide. A moat about two feet deep stretched between the two of them, and the two sides stood near the river, facing each other from afar.

"Li Li'er, Ma has been invited out of the city, what else do you have to say?" Lema stopped on the west bank of the moat. Ma Teng's eyes glared at Li Li and asked in a deep voice.

"Hehehe!" Li Liwei smiled first. smiled unhurriedly: "General Shoucheng, don't come unharmed?" ”

"No more nonsense. Ma is not here to listen to your greetings! Ma Teng didn't pay attention to Li Li's polite remarks at all, and rebuked coldly.

Li Li ignored Ma Teng's angry expression, and still said with a smile: "General Shoucheng, don't worry. The general is older, and Li can't be rude as a junior, otherwise it won't be a joke for the soldiers to see it! However, since General Shoucheng does not appreciate it, then Li does not need to be polite. Tell me bluntly. ”

"Humph!" Seeing Li Li's hypocritical and triumphant appearance, Ma Teng couldn't wait to slap him twice, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it if he wanted to hit him now, and he was so angry that his old face was blue. He snorted heavily to vent the anger in his heart.

Seeing Ma Teng's iron-blue face, the smile on Li Li's face became more and more intense, and he said with a smile: "A few days ago, Li was fortunate to see Ling Ai's peerless face, and his heart longed for it, and he couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't think about tea and dinner. Today coincided with the battle between your and my armies, and Li had a flash of inspiration and came up with a way to make peace with General Shoucheng. Li wants to marry Ling Ai as a concubine, so that you and I will always marry Qin and Jin, turn hostility into jade silk, and hope that the general will be perfected、、、、、、"

"Ahh Before Li Li finished speaking, Ma Teng exclaimed with a flushed face, pointed at Li Li angrily, and scolded: "Shut up! My child is deceiving me so much! How can my Ma Teng's daughter marry you, a yellow-mouthed concubine? You 、、、、、、"

"Stop!" This time, Li Li also didn't wait for Ma Teng to finish speaking, so he interjected and said: "General Shoucheng, this is unwilling!" Could it be that General Fei thinks that Ling Ai is too wronged to be a concubine, and wants Li to marry her as a side room? Alas, that's a tough one! Li already has six wives, and not long ago he took a concubine, and now in order for the two armies to release their suspicions, eliminate military disasters, and avoid unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice, it is difficult for him to marry the general's daughter as a concubine. In this regard, Li Mou is sincere to the general you to ask for marriage, if you are unwilling, you don't have to speak ill of each other, don't treat Li's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, which makes people feel cold! ”

Li Li's face was disappointed, and he immediately changed his words, and said in a straight voice: "General Shoucheng, there has been a saying since ancient times: It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage." God has the virtue of a good life, Li didn't want to see my Xiliang warriors fighting bloodily, needless casualties, so he married the general. In this move, Li is worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, and is currently worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers standing on the head of the city. If the general agrees to this family business, it will be a great merit for the benefit of others and himself, and it will benefit him for a lifetime; If the general doesn't agree, then he doesn't take my Xiliang boy's life to heart, and is willing to lead tens of thousands of soldiers in the city to be martyred for you for his own selfish desires and coveting high-ranking officials! Such a merciless and unrighteous person, I, Li Li, am very ashamed, and even more unworthy to the tens of thousands of soldiers in Jicheng!

I, Li Li, was born in a reckless manner, and my parents died when I was a child, and I know very well the hardships of the lives of the people of Xiliang and the difficulties of the facts. A year ago, I was ordered to go to Wuwei County to take office, and you, Ma Shoucheng and Han Sui, repeatedly led troops to attack my Wuwei County, and tried to put Li to death several times. It's a pity that Li is a man of destiny, how can you wait for Xiaoxiao to murder? Now Li has 400,000 male soldiers in his hands, and he can wipe out Er and others with a wave of his hand; But I, Li Li, are benevolent by nature, and I can't bear to kill each other as warriors in Xiliang, and do stupid things that are fast to those who are close to each other! If there is chaos and war is raging today, my Xiliang soldiers should work together to create a great cause, which is a great righteousness. Compared with righteousness, what is the need for a little grievance?

The soldiers in the city have listened to me, and I, Li Li, will put my words here today! From today on, all the soldiers who are willing to surrender to me, and the grievances between us and us are written off, are all the soldiers under my Li Li, and we will be brothers like a family from now on! If all the soldiers do not surrender, after the city is broken, you will be all criminals, and their families and children will be sent to the Western Regions for exile! If he is coerced by Ma Shoucheng, he can also respond to our army when he is besieged, and I Li Li still regards Er and others as my Xiliang soldiers, and I am not to blame for the past, and I will reorganize into an army! This order is limited to today, and it is outdated! ”

"Li Li'er, you are so poisonous!" was robbed by Li Li, Ma Teng's face was pale when he heard it, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and his lips were bitten. So much so that he stared at Li Li with round eyes, his teeth clenched, but he insisted on speaking, and in the end he could only tighten his back molars and squeeze out a pale and weak word. ―――――― (To be continued)(To be continued......
