61. Jiyou is a bird of the same forest
Puyang City, as the seat of the East County, although it is close to the Yellow River, as long as there is no flood, it is a rich place, but it never thought that one day it would usher in the arrival of the emperor, so it is impossible to plan its related facilities, let alone build them.
Yes, since the emperor has come, it is natural that he cannot be allowed to live in Cao Cao's somewhat poor mansion.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, but with the concerted efforts of Cao Cao's army, a miraculous building complex was still built.
In this process, the construction unit has developed new processes and methods that have never been seen in the construction industry, such as the ×× method and the ○○ method, to speed up the construction. In the whole construction project, a total of NN national patents have been declared, XXX innovative technologies have been applied, and YYY independent intellectual property rights have been in the world's leading peak in the construction industry, and other forces have been left behind for more than five years, and the ZZ project is known as "the jewel / diamond / treasure in the crown of ×× ○○".
Although I have said so many words that sound familiar and make people feel unclear, but in fact, there is only one core idea, and that is - because the speed is too fast, so even if you use more methods that sound unclear, it is inevitable that some places will not be careful or negligent, even if it seems to be majestic and tall on the surface, it seems to be difficult to shake, but in fact.
Although it is a bit too much to describe an imperial city with a derogatory term like "tofu dregs", if in reality, neither Cao Cao nor anyone else thinks that this thing will be so strong.
After all, you can't expect the properties of these construction wastes that have been demolished from an unknown place to make things that are probably temporary buildings be strong. After all, if you really use rammed earth as the core like the Luoyang city wall, and then use stones or large bluestone city bricks outside, not to mention the problem of working hours, even if the cost estimate can make Cao Cao, who has been compressed to the extreme, vomit blood.
Of course, the quality of the project is not up to par, and this kind of thing also depends on who says it.
If this kind of thing is facing Li Shushi's golden fire cannon, even if it is an ordinary wooden trebuchet or a crash car covered with cowhide, it is estimated that there is only one way to kneel, even if it is a group of mobs carrying a large log, as long as there are enough people and the number of collisions is enough, it is estimated that it is not difficult to open a few openings in these city walls.
But if it is replaced by a group of unarmed ordinary people. Unless it's a fool with a special skill bonus. Otherwise, with teeth and hands, this thing can still withstand the test of history. At that time, it was not a big deal to actually try to make a few holes for people to pass through, after all, all the problems were actually a matter of time.
However, just as Yu Gong instructed his descendants to say their last words, the time required must definitely be calculated in terms of "generation".
Of course. No matter how long it is, it is not comparable to the dregs in the face of the changes of nature. It is estimated that the wind, frost, rain and snow alone will not be able to turn into real tofu scum in less than a hundred years. And it's still the kind of way that with a little effort and a few more kicks with your feet, you can probably grind a few pairs of straw sandals and dig a passage in no more than a week.
Well, what I want to convey after saying all this is what I want to say. The rebels who suddenly rose up found that the first and perhaps greatest problem they had to face was the well-known but only like a moat for them.
In fact, as a rebel army that has been prepared for a long time, their preparations are still orderly, whether it is food and grass, mobilization or various weapons have been prepared, even if Cao Cao still left a certain number of troops in Puyang City as a forbidden army, but the good tiger can't stand the wolves, not to mention that there are few generals in Puyang City who can be named.
But this siege machine alone can be said to be completely unprepared, because they did not expect this situation before.
In fact, in their original preparations, at this time, their friendly forces that had penetrated into the enemy should appear at the city gate, cooperate with them inside and outside to seize control of the city gate, and then make this city gate an important support for them to attack, retreat and defend.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement on the city gate, which was a bit unusual.
After all, even if the internal responders didn't come over to complete the tasks they were supposed to complete, and then they still got the bento and shouted two slogans among the extras, striving to mix for one more day and get a day's dragon box lunch or the legendary dragon set salary, but at least the soldiers guarding the imperial city should react a little when they saw such a huge crowd of people.
Anyway, it shouldn't be as dead as the night now, and the torches in their hands have already dispelled the darkness here.
"Do you think these people can play a role? Or can these people support your ambitions? ”
Looking at the rebels below who were evolving towards a pot of ants, a young voice came from one of the observation towers on the city wall.
However, the owner of this voice did not seem to expect any response, and waited very patiently for a long time, so that it was just like a glimpse, and the abrupt voice came and went even more suddenly.
Of course, perhaps the owner of the voice originally just wanted to say such a sentence, and left without leaving a cloud and a back.
Anyway, the rebels' Su zhì was exposed from the chaos of that moment just now, and there was indeed no need to continue to observe.
It's just that if you really think so, you really underestimate this group of people who were once high in Yanzhou.
"It's impossible to have a frontal impact, let Xu Xi bring people over and set up a ladder. The other side has few soldiers, and we suddenly exert force, so we will inevitably be negligent in our defense, even if Xun Yu and other party members are immediately notified at this time, it is too late. Therefore, we must fight a quick battle and not delay the fighter plane because of personal losses. Again, the monarchs have already embarked on this path, so don't think about the two ends of the first rat anymore! ”
In the end, it is an experienced person who participated in the war of strangulation of hundreds of thousands of people. Although the ability to unify the army is really not in the stream, maybe not as good as Li Shushi, but at least he is a person who has seen the world, and he will not be completely panicked because of some trivial things casually.
Well, of course, in the face of the menacing Sun Bofu, history has proved that his panic is actually still correct.
First, because of the herd mentality of the masses when they were in a panic, and secondly, because Zhang Miao was originally the leader elected by everyone, so his words still had a considerable effect, at least everyone quieted down immediately. At the same time, preparations began as he commanded.
Although because the huge logs are too conspicuous. Coupled with the extreme belief that they had penetrated into the enemy's interior, the rebels were a little caught off guard when facing the imperial city gates, but in fact, their preparations were actually quite comprehensive, at least there were several long ladders for climbing high places. It is considered that when attacking the palace, the enemy may take advantage of the terrain to resist stubbornly. That's why I prepared these things. And now it really comes in handy.
Theoretically, this method of attaching ants to the city is definitely the next strategy in siege warfare, but it also depends on the occasion and location - at this time, the enemy should be "unable to react", and the garrison in the imperial city has not been abnormally moved from recent observations, which means that even if they use this method of exchanging people to attack. The opponent's forces are definitely not able to be consumed.
Even if the other party has the advantage of geographical advantages, limited by troops, it is completely impossible to really stop their footsteps.
Of course, if the delay here is too long, it will indeed have an unknown impact on the subsequent actions. Therefore, Zhang Miao asked everyone to temporarily put down the careful thinking in their hearts, otherwise they still want to engage in infighting when they need to race against time, then they deserve to be exterminated - it is forgivable to do evil in heaven, and it is really impossible to live if you do it yourself!
Seeing that many rebel soldiers had climbed the walls of the imperial city from various sections along the long ladder, everyone's mood not only did not let go, but they all raised their throats, because everyone except for the really stupid people knew that if there were guards guarding the palace above, then now was their best chance to make a move.
Are there stupid people here?
Maybe these people are some guys who can't see clearly, but if you say that you are smart, at least under the education system of the modern society where Li Shushi once lived, they are all fighters among a group of liberal arts students, even if they are not scholars, they are definitely popular people whose academic performance can make their teachers' bonuses increase slightly every year, and maybe have some extra gains.
"Ah, ah, ah......" Sure enough, before the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city first could gain a foothold, they were all cut down from the city head at a faster speed, and even a number of corpses appeared on a certain section of the city wall in a row, or the corpses of the upper half of the body and the lower half of the body needed to be spliced together to get back together, and so that the corpses would appear in a short time, and there was only one possibility, that is, there was a very powerful guy at the head of the city, who could kill those private soldiers who climbed to the top of the city in seconds.
After all, even if the strength is not as good as the regular army that has experienced a hundred battles, but the soldiers sent by generals such as Xu Xi and Mao Hui who served under Cao Cao have always received a lot of professional training, and they have also participated in some local bandit suppression or low-intensity battles before, even if they can't get more opportunities to improve for various reasons, it is difficult to be directly killed by ordinary soldiers.
Although many fallen soldiers fell to their deaths on solid ground due to the height of the city wall, after all, it was not the kind of instant killing scene with no dead bodies, and it didn't look amazing, so naturally it couldn't attract much attention from the rebels with "numerous" reserves.
"Don't stop, keep attacking, the enemy won't last long!"
Although he shouted like this, Xu Xi did not learn from those fierce generals on the battlefield and led his subordinates to the city together.
After all, as the front-line commander of the city, he personally felt the pressure from the city wall, at least he estimated it himself, even if he used all his strength, if he was lucky, he might be able to kill the weaker soldiers in his own army in seconds.
As for the fact that every attack can harvest a human life, and it seems that he has cut more than a dozen people and is still full of momentum and does not weaken, Xu Xi feels that he is still very self-aware, and sending his corporal to death is already the limit of what he can bear, and he can't afford to put himself in it, and it is estimated that not only will he not be praised behind his back. And he will immediately divide up his qiē.
It seems that the situation is a bit of a stalemate, the rebels have not thought of using bows and arrows to suppress each other, but in the night, the troops guarding the city walls are agile and good at dodging, and the rebels also lack marksmen, so the bow and arrow suppression in this situation is completely ineffective. So much so that it may be only a matter of time before the rebels take the city, but in this moment of racing against time, even if it is only a short delay, the tide of the battle may change dramatically.
As Zhang Miao, who once participated in the Battle of Dong. As a person who has learned in detail from Cao Cao that Cao Cao is very Sun Jian's expression in the battle against Dong. It can be said that I have a deeper understanding of this than the others present.
Although Zhang Miao did not know how to arrange the battle formation, nor did he know how to dispatch the army to accurately cut into the enemy's weak points and lead the occupation to victory, he was only a civilian official, a very famous civilian official. But it is precisely because he is a civil servant. He doesn't have the way a military general thinks about the battlefield. But the situation of the war can be viewed from the perspective of an ordinary civilian official.
"Sue Xu Xu, let him pull out those children who know how to strategize, since our bows and arrows cannot suppress them. Then use what we're good at to let them know that we're good. Tell everyone, don't worry about the problem of MP, I have prepared enough amount of mysterious water, and the table is good, and there are also mysterious wine rewards, which are all rare 'ten miles of incense' on the market! ”
Although Zhang Miao was indeed not a good commander, in the face of this kind of battle in which his own side had an advantage, he still showed a certain amount of truth, and at least several decisions made the situation did not develop in the direction that was unfavorable to his side.
Perhaps, if it weren't for some selfish thoughts in his heart, with Zhang Miao's ability, he could have sought a high position in the gradually expanding Cao Cao army. It's a pity that by chance, the original friend will become an undying enemy after tonight.
The participation of civilian troops in the war can be said to have had an immediate effect on the scorching war situation.
Although it is only the simplest and low-level scorching strategy, it still plays an extremely critical role in the situation on the battlefield.
First, the scorching attack range is much larger than that of the bow and arrow, so it can more effectively attack the enemy in a more open field of vision, and even if the scorching heat cannot attack the enemy, the fire it produces can also illuminate the surrounding environment in a short time. However, it can also allow the soldiers who ascend to the city to avoid the fatal blow from the shadows, thus creating favorable conditions for them to ascend to the head of the city.
Even if it didn't seem obvious at first, it didn't take long for the accumulated advantage to force the forbidden army defending the city to abandon several sections of the city wall and form a small army formation on the city wall instead, resisting the attack of more and more enemies.
However, such resistance is only a lingering breath, and their bodies are destined to be incomparable to the endless flow of new forces.
Even if the city gates have not yet been opened, it is certain that this sudden battle for the city gates is coming to an end.
"Lord Lingjun, General Wang has sent news that the enemy army has broken through the city gate and is marching towards the palace and Taiwan Province."
"Is there any news from the Son of Heaven?"
"The Son of Heaven has already prepared a rebellion, so those old diehards who plan to hide at home should also come out to fight for the country. Hmph, those bastard guys, they don't do anything on weekdays, but they always criticize their father's decrees, if they don't show their duties well this time, they will definitely let their father cure them for the crime of colluding with the rebels! ”
"Don't talk like this, they are all my famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, not the kind of people who will lose their reputation for small profits."
"Humph! That Zhang Meng Zhuo was also a close friend of his father, and he had lived in his home for a long time, and he originally thought that he was indeed worthy of being a humble gentleman, but he never thought that he would be carried away by interests and make such a rebellious act. Those ministers who have survived under Li Guo until now may not be able to compare with Zhang Mengzhuo, even if they are colluded with rebellion, it is not surprising. ”
"Hey, Childe really has too many misunderstandings about the ministers, and sometimes...... They're all involuntarily on their own. ”
"Well, that's not all my words. There is also the meaning of Majesty in this, but there are some words, Lord Ling Jun should understand, such a thing, Majesty Xià can't come out to do it, so we can only do it for our courtiers. ”
"Is that what Majesty mean? Then there is no way, what Childe said is not bad, we should indeed focus on His Majesty's thoughts. ”
Seeing that Xun Yu finally showed an expression that he had to agree, some young Cao Ang cheered as if he had achieved some great victory, after all, it was Xun Yu Xun Wenruo. Anyone can see Xun Lingjun, who is about to become the ruling center of Shang Shuling.
But for Cao Ang's attitude. Xun Yu was not dissatisfied, or although this result was a little unexpected to him, Xun Yu felt relieved when he thought of the scene when he met the young little emperor.
Let's talk about what he really thinks. In fact, it is not fundamentally different from Cao Ang. He also disliked those who couldn't protect the Han Dynasty. Just to save himself or his family, he can grovel in front of power, and if he respects them a little, he will start to act shamelessly again, even with Xun Yu's self-cultivation, he feels a little disgusting.
Comparatively. Those ministers who generously died because the emperor who was angry at the Han Dynasty was kidnapped by ignorant ministers, and those ministers who endured humiliation and burdens only to be able to kill tyrannical ministers, can be regarded as models of loyal ministers of the previous generation, and only worthy of respect.
But it's definitely not these ignorant and arrogant people who just have a good father and a good father, and there are a few N generations with a few acres of land in the family.
Of course, as a politician with mature thoughts, unlike Cao Ang, who is young and energetic but not mature enough after all, even if he has the same purpose, Xun Yu will obviously do more sophistication and perfection in terms of means. At the very least, his actions need to ensure that the fundamental interests of the family will not be shaken by this, so his methods will be softer, but he will definitely not let it go.
The fundamental interests of the family will not be shaken, but it does not mean that the normal rise and fall will not be carried out, Xun Yu has a clearer understanding of this than many people, and even he himself thinks that the story that Li Shushi told by Guo Jia recounted to him in order to ensure that a certain kind of fish can survive more during transportation, and put one or two carnivorous fish in it to keep them active is very reasonable. Flowing water will not rot, and if it is a pool of stagnant water, then it can really only be left to ugliness to cultivate.
After receiving the generals from Xun Yu, Cao Ang trotted all the way out of Xun Yu's mansion, and he will go to Wang Bi, the commander of the city defense army who stayed in Puyang, as the first time in his life to go on the stage and go to the battlefield, this young man who has always seemed very calm in front of his father Cao Cao, now finally shows the vitality and excitement of the unknown that belongs to the unique young people.
Of course, this may also be because he was far away from his very dignified father.
And another reason why Cao Ang is so excited is that this Wang Bi, who is the captain of the city gate, can be regarded as Cao Cao's hardcore supporter, even if his ability is not very ordinary, but he is better than being loyal to Cao Cao, and because of this, in the case of Cao Cao's expedition now, this loyalty has naturally moved to Cao Ang.
In other words, now as long as Cao Ang is willing, he can not only get an excellent army from Wang Bi, but it is basically impossible for him to be constrained by the other party for various reasons, so no matter what kind of performance he makes, he will be the one who will bear the consequences.
Although it is indeed not easy for a young man with little experience to take on all the responsibilities alone, from another point of view, the feeling of having a heavy responsibility on his shoulders is really wonderful.
And Xun Yu, who also needed to be transferred, saw that Cao Angna could feel his excitement even if he looked at the back, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, sure enough, compared to the old man in the twilight, Xun Yu felt that he still liked the energetic young man more.
Just like Cao Cao, who he chose to work for, he also has a vigor and momentum that others cannot match, and perhaps only this kind of energy can break through the shackles that made this dynasty rotten and establish a new era on the ruins.
Of course, he and his lord are not the only young people who think this way.
Thinking of the young Han emperor who was not far away, and then thinking of the prince from the north who had a good relationship with Cao Cao, Xun Yu felt that maybe his road was not as lonely as he imagined, but maybe it was still very lively.
Raising his head, his gaze was already on the place he knew in the distance. (To be continued......)
