The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 15
After Pan Tiedan and Li Tai left, Li Cunxu fell into a state of tension, his whole mind was completely out of the way, and he was just thinking secretly and thinking about things in vain.

He just ordered all the soldiers and soldiers to eat, but he couldn't eat, but the people under his hands were more thoughtful, and directly sent the meals to Li Cunxu's tent.

These meals are both meat and vegetarian, although there are quite a few meals delivered, it's just that the taste of the food in the military camp is the same.After Li Cunxu finished eating in a hurry, he didn't think it was too bad, and he didn't have any good taste to linger on.

Stewed meat in the army is generally bacon, which is made of meat after being marinated and then exposed to the sun or baked. It can be preserved for a long time and is an indispensable meat product during the marching process of the army.But this kind of bacon is not for family consumption after all, but for marching and fighting, so the taste is average.

In fact, Li Cunxu's food was pretty good. Ordinary soldiers probably didn't even see broth during the war.

Hearing the noise of the soldiers outside and the sound of the soldiers sharpening their weapons, Li Cunxu couldn't help but think of the enthusiastic generals before. Although he knew that they might not be convinced of him as the general, but the superficial respect was also respect, and he still felt very respectful in his heart. Comfortable.

Can I really lead them to victory?
At this time, Li Cunxu was extremely anxious, as if living in a scourge, the constant noise made him unable to calm down for a long time.

He couldn't help but think of the consequences of defeat, and a mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood appeared in his mind, as well as countless accusations.

Forget it, don't want to.If they were defeated, they might lose their lives, and I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to hear the accusations.

In any case, this battle must be won, otherwise all the previous efforts in cultivation will be in vain.As for running away, Li Cunxu never thought about it.

Li Cunxu stared at the military map in his camp, and quickly found Zezhou from it.From the map, Zezhou is not far from Taiyuan, but it cannot be reached overnight.

What is the specific situation of Zezhou's city defense and defenders?Li Cunxu didn't know, the only way was to send someone over to investigate.

But even if you know the specific situation of the city defense, what can you do?

Could it be possible to build siege ladders in an orderly manner, and then use the ladders to storm the city?This is a common engineering method in ancient warfare.

In fact, there are siege vehicles, well rails, trebuchets and other siege equipment, but Li Cunxu’s speed is the most important thing in this trip. If he brings these siege equipment, the speed will be greatly reduced. When the reinforcements arrive, the siege will be more difficult .

Since ancient times, the army of the attacking side must be far greater than that of the defending side, and the damage is the heaviest. Li Cunxu's 8000 people are considered small. Not many people left.

Moreover, I have never commanded the siege of a city, nor have I any experience.

Li Cunxu couldn't help becoming anxious, and his thoughts gradually became chaotic.After a long time, Li Cunxu took a deep breath and gradually tried to calm himself down.

In fact, fear and anxiety before major events are about to come are the manifestations that everyone will have.It's just that people who have been tempered or wise will force themselves to calm down.Only when you are calm can you maintain your rationality, and rationality can come up with a good solution.

After Li Cunxu calmed down, his heart also calmed down, and his mind was no longer confused. Many memories and ideas gradually emerged. Suddenly, he had an idea, and a bold idea came out of his heart: bomb the city wall with gunpowder!
As we all know, bad people's world firearms are relatively developed, such as Liang Guo's Invincible General Liang, whose power can be said to be incomparably huge.

There is also one of the four corpse ancestors of the Xuanming sect, the welder of the corpse ancestor - Chidi Qianliza Caijiang, this person is especially good at attacking the enemy with gunpowder, and is a master of gunpowder.

But if Li Cunxu wants to get a lot of gunpowder, he can only spend his time on these two people.Liang Guo didn't need to think about it, since he was an old enemy, and this time he was still fighting Liang Guo, how could he get gunpowder from Liang Guo?As for the Corpse Ancestor, Weng Ba, there is no need to think about it. Welding is currently far in the south, and he is the corpse ancestor of the Xuanming Sect. Even if he breaks away from the Xuanming Sect, he still belongs to half of the Liang army, and it is impossible to help Jin.

In this way, Li Cunxu had only one solution.

That is a large amount of gunpowder underground in Chang'an City!
In the original plot, the true and false Li Xingyun once had an agreement at the Zhuque Gate in Chang'an, and there is a large amount of sulfur and saltpeter buried under the place where the two met!
These gunpowder and saltpeter were planted by Zhu Wen after he entered Chang'an, and ordered the corpse ancestor Welding to plant them underground in Chang'an. He wanted Chang'an to disappear completely, but later Zhu Wen wanted to be emperor and cherished his reputation. He was afraid of doing so. It will inevitably be criticized by the world, so let it go.

Because of Zhu Wen's scruples, Chang'an City did not turn into a sea of ​​flames again. The last time Chang'an City was transformed into a sea of ​​flames, it was Huang Chao who broke through Chang'an, murdered and set fire to the city!
After Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor, Chang'an City, the capital of the ancient emperors, fell into disrepair, and there were few people within a hundred miles.If Li Cunxu went to Chang'an to get gunpowder, no one would pay attention to him and stop him.

If Li Cunxu could get the gunpowder and saltpeter, it would be possible to blow up a hole in the city wall of Zezhou!
Li Cunxu deduced the possibility of this plan several times in his mind, and felt that this plan was feasible.If this strategy does not work, then Li Cunxu's siege mission will be difficult to complete.

……

The main force of the Fengyi Army, the hatchback and the four armies, that is, the first and second armies of the left wing, and the first and second armies of the right wing, were all ready to go in their own camps and did not set off. After a while, the commanders of each army received them. The main general was summoned by Li Cunxu, the commander of the Rebel Army.

If you continue to fight, you will be subject to chaos. Now that Li Cunxu has a solution, he directly decides to use the strategy of bombing the city with gunpowder.In order to act quickly, he directly sent people to each barracks of the Fengyi Army to notify them one by one, and summoned the commanders of all armies and generals above Du Yuhou to discuss military affairs in Li Cunxu's account.

In the tent, Li Cunxu was sitting on top, while the generals from various armies who came one after another sat on the bottom.

Li Cunxu sent someone to hang up the map, which showed the Sanjin and the surrounding terrain. He pointed to Zezhou, and then spoke to everyone.

"Zhu Wen sent Kang Huaizhen to conquer Luzhou, and he really has a wicked heart." Li Cunxu first said a quote, and then said: "But they are wishful thinking. My father and king have already set a strategy against Liang. Know it!"

The deputy commander, Guo Chongtao, immediately clasped his fists together: "The king of Jin is strategizing, I've heard about it for a long time."

Li Cunxu nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, the mission my father assigned me was to capture Zezhou, but the strength of Zezhou's defenders is unknown, so we can't estimate it. And we are not too close to Zezhou. , It will take some time until the army comes under pressure."

Wang Jianji, the commander of the left wing of the Fengyi Army, immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, general. The last general is willing to be the former general of the army and attack the city first!"

After hearing the words, all the generals also expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they should go to the top of the city first and make meritorious service for the country.

Li Cunxu did not dampen their enthusiasm, but to be honest, it is impossible to expect them to storm the city, the damage is too serious.However, heroic words can inspire people, and now is not the time to dampen their self-confidence.

When the generals calmed down, Li Cunxu continued to speak, and he said slowly: "The morale of the generals is very high and they are very enthusiastic. It caused reinforcements from the Liang army. Besides, nearly half of our army is new, and they have not passed through the battlefield, so a strong attack is not the best policy."

Hearing this sentence, all the generals were embarrassed.

"This... General, this order was given by the King of Jin. Even if we don't want to attack by force, there is nothing we can do!"

"That's right, Zezhou must be captured by us, but we can't use our entire army to attack, otherwise the casualties and injuries will be meaningless. I have a method that can greatly reduce the damage of our army. I wonder if you would like it Follow my command?"

"I would like to hear the details!" All the generals said in this way.

"I can't tell you this strategy yet, but you have to believe in this general and believe that we can break through the city."

Li Cunxu is still unable to disclose his intentions. First, it is difficult to explain the source of the gunpowder and how he knew it. Second, he is afraid that there are undercover agents in the army, and if he reveals the news in advance, it will be spread.

Hearing Li Cunxu's words, the generals immediately started to make noise again.If you don't let yourself know the strategy, how can you make people feel at ease to implement it?
Looking at the noisy generals, Li Cunxu remembered Li Ke's deliberative attitude, imitating his domineering tone and said: "This general is the son of Jin Wang, and I will take responsibility for what happens. Don't worry, everyone, if you lose this battle , will not involve you, you just need to obey orders."

"This..." The generals were speechless.

The Deputy Commander Guo Chongtao heard the words, looked at Li Cunxu's confident appearance, rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and said: "I am willing to be sent by the general!"

Seeing that the deputy commander had no objections, all the generals stopped arguing vigorously. After all, they were subordinates and Li Cunxu was the chief.

Sometimes, no matter whether the chief's decision is correct or not, they have to implement it. This is the necessary quality of a member of the army.
