A complete plan was quickly born in Zhu Youjian's mind.
On the third day, the soldiers had already eaten breakfast, and Zhu Youjian began to gather his soldiers:
"Jiang Zhengcai? Xu Dong?"
Jiang Zhengcai is the infantry guard commander of Fenwu Camp. Originally, Fenwu Camp only had Liu Yushuan's cavalry guard and Li Hongjun's infantry guard. Later, with the support of Wei Zhongxian, Fenwu Camp supplemented all the airmen and added an infantry guard. Jiang Zhengcai became the commander of this infantry guard. And Xu Dong was the commander of the infantry guard of the Zuda Shou Yaowu Camp.
"in."
"in."
The two agreed, their bodies straightened, and neither of them had ever been on the battlefield. Now that Zhu Youjian came to them, it was definitely a chance for them to do meritorious service. They didn't conceal the pride on their faces, and ignored the enviable gazes of other guards and envoys.
"You rest in the morning, and after noon, you will lead your troops to attack the city in turn. Remember, along the way, military uniforms are worn crookedly, equipment is held horizontally, and the line is disordered. People must appear listless. When attacking the city, only a few bows and arrows are allowed. One blow will be defeated. As long as you grind it for two hours, it will be a great achievement." Zhu Youjian felt that he had said clearly enough. If he could not execute it well, it was because the understanding of the two guards and envoys was problematic.
The two looked at each other, and the triumphant expression on their faces instantly turned into bitter gourd. How did your Highness direct the war
Man Gui also felt something was wrong, but Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou basically understood what Zhu Youjian meant. Their eyes were shining, as if the opponent was punished for an overtime in a football knockout match, but their side got points. The ball is waiting to be slaughtered.
"His Royal Highness, there are no soldiers in Fenwu Camp, please state clearly, otherwise, your subordinates can't explain to the soldiers." Jiang Zhengcai couldn't help it anymore.
"Haha, Zhengcai, fighting can't rely on bravery alone, but more on using your brain." Zhu Youjian laughed and pointed his finger at his temple.
"His Royal Highness?" Jiang Zhengcai still didn't understand, but he found that Yuan Chonghuan and others were also laughing. "Does Your Highness have another good plan?"
"Good plan? Haha, my good plan is that you must resolutely implement the battalion's decision. This afternoon, the more you can be your soldiers, the better." Zhu Youjian discovered that this Jiang Zhengcai was really stupid and cute.
"His Royal Highness?" Jiang Zhengcai felt that he seemed to have understood Zhu Youjian's good plan, but he was not very thorough. His brain is vague, but since Zhu Youjian has decided, he has only execution points, and the soldiers regard obedience as their bounden duty!
"Zhengcai, you really don't understand my intention? Then you stand aside, I want to change the bait." Zhu Youzhen couldn't laugh or cry.
"Bait?" Jiang Zhengcai finally understood. He had this feeling just now, but Zhu Youjian didn't make it so clear. He made a military salute: "His Royal Highness, your subordinates promise to be this bait!"
"Hahaha..." Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou looked at this foolishly proudly, and even Man Gui grinned openly.
Jiang Zhengcai scratched his hair vigorously and smiled stupidly, then turned and ran away: "His Royal Highness, I will prepare, otherwise these bastards won't understand Your Highness's conspiracy..."
After noon, Jiang Zhengcai's soldiers first attacked the Dongcheng Gate.
Jiang Zhengcai stopped five hundred steps away from the city gate. Five hundred steps is a very good distance, which can clearly see the soldier's offensive status, and is not within the shooting range of the city's bow and arrow.
Except for the three hundred supervisors, the remaining three thousand soldiers were divided into several columns and slowly marched towards the city gate.
The soldiers were talking while advancing, without paying attention to the bandits at the head of the city.
A soldier accidentally stepped on the heel of the soldier in front, the soldier in front cursed, and the soldier behind was dissatisfied: "I just stepped on you, what's the big deal?" He pushed the soldier in front of him.
The soldiers in front became more angry, and the two sides quickly scuffled together, and the surrounding soldiers stopped to cheer for the two soldiers. They were furious, each kicked, they returned to the team angrily, but stared at each other and crooked their necks.
Only one hundred and fifty steps away from the city gate. A soldier accidentally stumbled on a raised stone on the ground because he looked up at the sky, and fell heavily to the ground, causing the soldiers to have a burst of joy.
At a hundred paces, the soldiers in the front row began to shoot their bows and arrows. They didn't even need to aim, and they shot directly at the bandits in the city.
The bandits at the top of the city were shocked: Jiannu and Tarzi, who had lived on horseback since they were young, have archers with a range of only 60 steps, but at most 80 steps. The range of these archers from the Capital Army actually reached 100 steps. . And they don't need to aim at all, are they all archers
The bandits on the front of the city were so scared that they leaned behind the parapet wall and completely covered their bodies.
But not as they thought, arrows fell from the sky to the top of the city. A brave bandit began to move towards the crenellation, gradually revealing an eye.
"Huh?" the bandit who showed one eye yelled, his voice changed a little because of his excitement.
"What's the matter?" The other bandits moved towards the crenel.
"Everyone, don't worry about the arrows, look." The bandit's finger was under the city, and his body was completely exposed outside the parapet wall.
The bandits leaned forward, and they were surprised to find that the arrow was still thousands of miles away from the city.
"Be careful, beware of fraud, they are the capital army." A man with the appearance of a small boss loudly reminded the bandits.
Sixty steps. The city has a topographical advantage and has entered the range of a bow and arrow.
"Let's release the arrow." The little boss gave an order coldly.
"Swish, swish, swish."
The arrows rained down from the city head, and someone in the front of the capital army was hit by an arrow.
The red blood shattered with the arrow, gurgling outwards.
"Huh?" The capital army seemed to realize that the arrow shot from the city head was really an arrow. They shouted, turned around and ran back.
Jiang Zhengcai was always ashamed and angry, and the supervisors also raised their swords and guns in their hands, and the soldiers turned around again and rushed towards the city gate.
The arrow rain at the head of the city is an insurmountable barrier for the capital army.
After three attacks, Jiang Zhengcai had to withdraw all the soldiers and drew aside for training. Xu Dong replaced Jiang Zhengcai and started a new round of attack on Dongchengmen.
With more than 3,000 soldiers sitting in an open area, Jiang Zhengcai began to speak.
Some soldiers squatted, some sat on the grass, some well-connected soldiers leaned against each other, and even some wounded soldiers lay in front of Jiang Zhengcai.
Jiang Zhengcai was dancing with his hands and was very excited. He pointed at the soldier's head for a while, slurred a few words, then pointed at the soldier's nose, and yelled.
The soldiers were talking to each other without looking at Jiang Zhengcai.
A soldier leaned on his companion and shook slightly. His companions took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly retreated. The soldier fell to the ground and woke up all of a sudden. He grabbed his short knife and slashed: "Are the bandits coming?"
Jiang Zhengcai was furious and kicked the two soldiers hard in the ass...
Xu Dong's soldiers also couldn't get past the arrow rain at the top of the city. He withdrew the soldiers and ran to meet Jiang Zhengcai: "Commander Jiang, my soldiers cannot approach the city gate."
Jiang Zhengcai's remarks were over. He finally lit a few soldiers' noses and emphasized a few words before saying to Xu Dong: "I will let my soldiers try again."
Before they reached the edge of the city wall, they were shot back by a shower of arrows from the bandits. Then, under the intimidation of Jiang Zhengcai, they tremblingly plunged into a new offensive, but soon they rushed back in a rain of arrows from the city.
Later, when the bandits at the head of the city saw the Jingshi army coming to attack, they were no longer nervous, and first shouted in unison: "Jingshi Tofu Army!" Then a shower of arrows waited on them.
Throughout the afternoon, the two infantry guards nearly 7,000 soldiers, like a giant ping-pong ball, went back and forth between the commander in the back and the city wall in front. Although wearing a shield, the casualties were not large, but apart from the ridicule of the defenders, it did not benefit the siege.
A pair of wolf-like eyes glowed with greed, staring at the soldiers attacking outside the city until Jiang Zhengcai and Xu Dong outside the city gave the order to retreat. The soldiers ran out of sight amidst cheers, and the wolves were as greedy as the wolves. His eyes quietly disappeared from behind the parapet wall.
Under the curtain of night, in Weinan City, guard Feng Luoxi and deputy general Anxi were arguing about the attack.
"... The capital army is nothing more than this, and it is not much different from the frontier army. Moreover, the capital army is tired from a long time, and our army is waiting for work. Tonight is a good opportunity for a sneak attack." Feng Luoxi turned out to be a talented person in Baishui County, after joining the bandit army. , I have read a few books on warfare, and learned a little about the art of war. Among the illiterate bandit army, the literate Feng Luoxi was greatly appreciated by Wang Er and became Weinan guard.
"Master Feng, the capital of the capital army is coming quickly. The army will first seize the key point in the pass, Tongguan, and the master must have a deep understanding of the art of war. Our army should avoid its edge, stick to Weinan, and rely on the advantage of the city wall to confront the officer and army." The deputy general Anxi was originally from Shaanxi. One of the Frontier Army Chief Qian, who was unable to support his family due to his military salary, joined the bandit army decisively after Wang Erqi's incident, and was promoted to Weicheng Vice-General for his repeated military exploits.
"Master Ann, it's no wonder that the frontier army is defeated with one blow. How can you be so timid?" Feng Luoxi's eyes, like wolves, showed greedy fluorescence.
"Master Feng, you... The officers and soldiers are coming from afar, and the supply of food and grass is bound to be difficult. We don't have to be in a hurry. We don't have to wait for the officers and soldiers to be in chaos before leaving the city to break the enemy." Anxi felt insulted, but he was promoted because of his military exploits. , And Feng Luoxi's status as Wang's second confidant is incomparable.
"In Weinan, I am the main general, so there is no need to argue. Tonight, I personally led 10,000 soldiers to attack the camp, and General An led an army to defend the city." Feng Luoxi waved his hand and made an impatient posture.
He doesn't want to argue with Anxi any more. The capital army is tofu. Who can pretend to be on the battlefield for an afternoon? He has to go back to sleep well. Yesterday someone gave him an official lady. He hasn't had time to enjoy it. Maybe tonight's good fortune comes one after another.
"Since Master Feng has already decided, you might as well bring more soldiers. The final general will defend the city, Weinan City is strong, and you won't lose for a while." Anxi sighed. Seeing that he could not persuade Feng Luoxi, he had to compromise. The army was really as vulnerable as Feng Luoxi saw.
"Okay, then I will bring 20,000 soldiers out of the city to make meritorious service. As long as General An protects Weinan City, it is also a great achievement." Feng Luoxi was full of confidence, and his eyes kept shaking the half-open water-green dress of the official lady.
At the time of the third watch, Feng Luoxi finally climbed down from the water-green skirt, as satisfied as if he was a real general, not a talented person.
There was a loud voice outside, and Feng Luoxi's soldiers were ready, waiting for him to become a majestic general again.
He got dressed in twos, and when he went out, he touched the delicate face of the water-green skirt: "Beauty, wait, I'll be back in a while." The real water-green skirt has long been thrown aside, Feng Luo Xi suddenly felt that compared to the present, she was more able to tempt herself to be a general on the bed than she was wearing a water-green skirt and half naked.
Feng Luoxi came to the military playground, and the soldiers stopped making noise and stood quietly in the night.
"Go." The soldier's voice was not loud, but in this quiet third watch, it was spread far. The 20,000 army, led by Feng Luoxi himself, quietly exited the East City Gate, knowing the ghosts along the way. Feeling, go straight to the camp of the Beijing Division Army.
