Chang'an is good

This time, Chang Kuo, Chang Suining, Yun Hui and others formulated the strategy against the enemy with the word "Shou" first.

Historically, the advantage of the city defenders lies in having the city gates as barriers. This advantage cannot be discarded. If used properly in the early stage, the defense can be used to consume the enemy's military strength.

Ge Zong soon discovered that in just five days, the Hezhou city gate wall, which was already vulnerable to a single blow, had been repaired firmly by some means.

Not only that, but there are also many new organs everywhere, or the rain of arrows will be triggered when touched, or the sharp hidden nails will be embedded, which greatly increases the difficulty for them to climb the tower.

And they added a lot of defenses, such as throwing stones, nail boards, and dozens of barrels of pine oil that were poured down at the same time. Immediately afterwards, long arrows ignited with fire were shot down, and the fire burst into flames with a "boom".

Ge Zong hurriedly drove his horse back, but the face of the horse under him, together with his own face, was still blackened by the oncoming fire smoke, and most of his beard and eyebrows were burnt off!

"Who roasted pork suet, it's so delicious!"

"This is a sick swine fever pig and a dead pig. My sister-in-law doesn't want to be greedy. You must know that this stuff is fed to the dogs, and the dogs won't eat it!"

"My brother and sister reminded me!"

A group of women on the tower laughed loudly, but they didn't miss anything. They kept moving arrows and moving stones—chattering and doing work, isn't that the most basic thing?

Being teased and abused by a group of women whom he despised the most, Ge Zong was so angry that the top of his head almost smoked, no, the two characters almost had to be removed, after all, it really smoked.

The horses neighed out of control when they saw the fire, and the enemy's offensive was disrupted for a while. Those soldiers who tried to climb the tower were also repeatedly defeated, or fell under the mechanism, or were crushed by rolling stones.

Ge Zong scolded Chang Kuo again in his heart.

These traps and tricks never existed before Chang Kuo came!
Moreover, these Hezhou people are still so high-spirited when they are about to die, and they don't show any signs of retreating... This Chang Kuo really can't stay!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Luo Guanlin's half-spoken words when he came - what did the general say about him?Where did he offend the general?
In the next few days, this thought always popped out of his heart from time to time, making him scratch his heart and lungs and upset.

Of course, the main reason why Ge Zong was so irritable was that the siege was unfavorable.

"...It's been five full days, and the fucking devil has come home!"

It was night, Ge Zong was sitting by the fire to keep warm, he couldn't help rubbing his teeth and cursing.

He originally planned to take down the heads of Hezhou City and Chang Kuo in at most three days, but after five days of fighting, nearly ten thousand of their men were lost due to the siege, but he didn't even touch a single hair of Chang Kuo. !
"What's the rush?" Ji Xi drank a sip of wine to warm up his body, and said calmly, "Could it be that you are afraid?"

"I'm afraid of shit!" Ge Zong said with a frown, "I just think it's evil... why did they toss all these things out!"

Previously, Hezhou City clearly had nothing to defend the city, but so many things were built in the blink of an eye, not to mention people, even the dogs in the city are working day and night!
"Indeed, it's a bit unexpected." Ji Xi said: "No matter how good they are at making things fast, facing such an offensive, things will always run out one day."

He looked at the city wall of Hezhou from a distance: "Their defense today is obviously not as complete as yesterday, and it seems to be almost exhausted."

So he was not in a hurry all the time, and only made people maintain a close offensive without interruption.

These [-] soldiers did not die in vain, their value was to consume the opponent's defense force.

It's just [-] soldiers who died, and they can afford to lose it.

These soldiers are not elite, and after taking Hezhou, they only need to be recruited again, and the vacancies can be quickly filled.

At such a time, human life is the least valuable thing, and when they should die, let them die.

Hearing what Ji Xi said, Ge Zong also calmed down his impetuous spirit, took a sip of strong wine, bared his teeth for a moment, and said, "Let's see how long they can shrink back!"

He squinted at Ji Xi again: "But let's say it first, Chang Kuo's head is mine, you are not allowed to snatch it from me!"

He drank a few more sips of wine, the strength of the wine surged, and a cloudy smile appeared on his face: "And the widow of the Yun family must be left to me!"

"Last time I wanted to kill him but I was not able to kill him. After a few days of looking at it, I still have some charm..."

Of course, beauty is only second. No matter how beautiful a woman of this age is, how can she compare to those young ladies in Hezhou City who will be at his disposal at that time?
What really caught his attention was the identity of the other party's wife, the governor, and: "... such a woman is not disciplined, let me train her well, so that she can know what a woman should be like!"

After saying that, he laughed out loud.

Several subordinates beside him also laughed, spitting obscenities.

Ji Xi did not participate in this topic.

But he also has people to kill.

That Yun family Erlang needs to be removed.

Five days ago, on the first day of the siege, when he saw the murderous eyes above the tower, he had already made up his mind to kill that boy.

The governor of Yun was killed by him, and the eldest son of Yun was also killed by him, but in his opinion, he did nothing wrong. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame the Yun family for being too stupid. city.

Governor Yun was stupid and stubborn, and so were his son and wife. Now, even the people in the whole city have learned it.

So, dragging the people of the whole city to their deaths, is this the righteousness that the Yun family prides itself on?

Ji Xi sneered in his heart, shaking the flagon in his hand lightly.

The fire was flickering, a ray of sparks rose up, and soon fell again.

In the city, in front of the gate of the governor's mansion, Chang Kuo stood on the stone steps, looking at the soldiers who took temporary positions in the army. Many of these people were from Hezhou, but they were also his subordinates at the moment.

Everyone also looked at him.

"General Chang..."

Chang Kuo said: "There are not many defenses that can be used to defend the city, but if you wait until they are completely exhausted before attacking, you will inevitably fall into passive chaos—"

He said: "So, I decided to open the city gate tomorrow to fight!"

His demeanor was exceptionally solemn, and the surroundings became silent.

"But this does not mean that Hezhou City can't defend anymore. On the contrary, you have retreated behind closed doors and killed tens of thousands of enemy troops in the past five days. You have retreated from the enemy every day, and you have never been defeated!"

"It's just a matter of marching and fighting. We must adapt measures to the time and place. If it is not good to defend, then we will naturally have to change our way of fighting!"

Looking at the faces with bright eyes following his words, Chang Kuo said with emotion: "I think I have led troops in countless battles in my life, and it is not the first time I have been defending a city. Kuo has only seen it in his life! You are all heroes who should be remembered in history!"

As he spoke, he took the wine bowl handed over by the soldier beside him, and held it up to the crowd with both hands: "Let's respect all heroes!"

Everyone raised their glasses of wine one after another, and someone said loudly: "We don't understand anything, it's all because of General Chang Da's command!"

"There are also Madam and Mr. Erlang!"

The woman standing at the front shouted loudly: "There's Mrs. Chang! Thanks to Mrs. Chang for planning and planning, and personally supervising the city defense!"

At this moment, it seems that what everyone is holding is not wine, but water. The water is so flat.

It was flat, but it soon became less flat, because the woman continued: "If you ask me, since the 1 heads were captured by the defense of the city gate, then no matter what, I have to remember [-] heads for Mrs. Chang." Bar!"

She is a soldier trained by Chang Suining, so it is inevitable that she will be more partial to her.

Chang Suining couldn't help laughing when she heard that she had drawn [-] heads to herself in a hurry.

Thinking of the situation where [-] heads were piled up in front of Chang Suining, Yun Hui was inexplicably horrified.

Chang Kuo was very happy, and laughed like a joke: "This is a good account!"

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly, and some jokes are naturally imprinted in people's minds - Chang Kuo feels that his daughter's contribution is worth remembering.

Everyone smiled and followed him, and for a moment, countless eyes fell on the girl who alone led 8000 heads.

Although Chang Suining's identity has been spread, many people still can't believe that she is really a girl. Every move, no matter how you look at it, she is a heroic and handsome young man who is indistinguishable from male and female.

How many young boys did he have to eat to learn this like this!
Under the light of the torch, the smile gradually disappeared on that beautiful and sassy face, and the expression gradually turned upright, looking at them.

Everyone unconsciously restrained their expressions.

The girl's voice was clear and clear: "Next, I will really use my own flesh and blood as the city wall to protect Hezhou. Are you afraid?"

"We were raised by our fathers and mothers, and so are they! If a stone falls on them, their heads will still be blown! What are you afraid of!" The woman was the first to answer.

Chang Suining nodded: "What Miss Shepherd's Purse said is extremely true."

"On the battlefield, sometimes the difference in morale and courage is more decisive than the difference in numbers." She said: "If you want to kill the enemy, you need to kill your own fear first, and then kill the opponent's courage."

Speaking of this, the girl's voice paused slightly: "I know, these words are no different from inciting you to die. This is very cruel, but on the battlefield, you have always lived and died. If you want to live, you must not be afraid of death."

"And what I can promise you is that Hezhou City will definitely be able to keep it."

The girl's last words were not loud, but like a heavy hammer, she knocked open the stone wall and let in the sky light.

Chang Kuo silently looked at the girl beside him.

"That's fine, I believe in Mrs. Chang!" Someone laughed tearfully: "It doesn't matter if we die, as long as Hezhoucheng can live!"

They all have parents, wives and children. As long as Hezhoucheng survives, their family will survive. Even though they die, they are worth it.

Besides, people like Lord Inspector and Da Langjun can die for Hezhou, so what are they!
To be able to do the same thing as Lord Inspector, even if you die, is glorious!

"Chang Niangzi!" The woman called Shepherd's Purse held the wine bowl and grinned freely: "I respect Chang Niangzi for a bowl!"

The hospitality is hard to come by, so Chang Suining took the big bowl from Yun Hui and drank with everyone.

"Snapped!"

Someone slammed the bowl on the ground.

"What are you doing?" The woman looked over immediately.

Everyone also looked at the person who threw the bowl.

Suddenly surrounded by everyone, the person who threw the bowl flinched, and said embarrassingly: "Isn't that what the storyteller always said? The army will send out, the soldiers will drink together, and throw the bowl as a sign..."

How bold, how decisive!

The woman stared at him: "All these bowls have been thrown away? Life can't be over! There was a shortage of money during the war. Is there a prodigal like you! Besides, the broken porcelain is everywhere, and no one comes here. Sweeping? Wouldn’t it be a mistake if someone is cut off?”

"..." The bowl thrower hurriedly squatted down to pick up the broken porcelain.

The other men who wanted to follow silently held the bowls in their hands.

Chang Kuo also firmly handed the bowl to the soldiers around him.

Then she asked her daughter in a low voice: "...Did you really drink?"

Governor Cui is not here, who will be beaten then?

Chang Kuo was a little worried about himself.

Chang Suining replied softly, "Don't worry, it's water."

In order to prevent her from being too out of group when everyone raised a bowl to drink and spoiling the atmosphere, she asked Yunhui's people to prepare a bowl of water in advance.

At first, Yun Hui didn't understand her intention of doing this, but just now when she saw that she drank it all in one gulp, and accepted the praise from everyone "Chang Niangzi has a lot of alcohol", Yun Hui understood in silence .

The stars are bright tonight, and the atmosphere is not too heavy.

But everyone knows very well that the battle of tomorrow is crucial, a real battle of life and death.

When the stars faded, winter white appeared in the east.

The gates of the city were opened wide, and [-] soldiers marched out.

At the same moment, Ge Zong and Ji Xi, who were ten miles away, led the army to attack again.

This battle is inevitable, and someone is doomed to sacrifice.

……

Given the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, compared to a chaotic frontal fight, a formation that surprises the enemy can not only ensure the marching order of one's own soldiers, stabilize people's hearts, reduce casualties, but also cause psychological oppression to the enemy.

Therefore, from the first day, Chang Suining ordered the soldiers in the city to repeatedly practice the military formation, just for this time today.

At this moment, she was standing on the tower, holding the five-color array flag, and after the army had finished forming up, she handed the array flag to Chang Kuo who was about to go down the tower and out of the city gate.

"Father, come and lead the battle." Chang Sui Ning said.

Chang Kuo dismissed it without even thinking about it: "How can this be done? This is your formation, and it's only appropriate for you to stand here and lead the formation."

"Father, do you still remember what you said to me the day before yesterday? After the Hezhou matter is over, it's time to make a long-term plan for our Chang family." Chang Suining looked at him: "So Father must be safe. .”

Chang Kuo couldn't explain how he felt in his heart, but he still shook his head: "Silly boy, Dad is the leader of the army, how can he not kill the enemy before entering the battle!"

"I'll kill the enemy on Father's behalf." The girl insisted, "Father will lead the battle on my behalf."

Chang Kuo wanted to say more, and heard her say: "Because Dad is the leader of the army, only Dad standing here to direct the overall situation can better maintain the morale of the army. The leader of an army must not give a cent No way, Father must stand here safely until we win this battle."

The reason why she persisted like this is not without reason.

Lao Chang's body is not as powerful and healthy as it appears on the surface. He had a recurrence of his old illness a few days ago.

Chang Kuo still refused to let go: "There is no reason for a father to hide behind the army and let his daughter go into battle to kill the enemy!"

"Where is the chief general who is rushing to die? And where is the reason why we young people are here, but you, the old general, are injured and go into battle?"

The distance between the two armies below the city was shortening, and they were ready to go. Above the city tower, Chang Suining said: "If even you can't protect me, wouldn't my trip be in vain?"

Thousands of horses were galloping below the city, and Chang Kuo suddenly stopped.

Every part of his body froze for an instant, only his heart was beating like thunder.

He stared fixedly at the girl in front of him.

That mountain was pushed down by her own hands, collapsed, and shattered.

He seemed to be unable to hear any sound, until the girl spoke again, and her voice was clear and loud.

"Chang Kuo listens to orders!"

Ahhh, I didn't end this episode today, because I wrote this, and suddenly felt that it was time to meet each other (Ningning told me!
