The battle report from Neijia City was better than snow flakes and spread to several cities behind the rebel army. It is the responsibility of the Cardinal Battalion to deliver battle reports and monitor the enemy's situation. Every time there is a war, there must be frequent reports. The rebels in the Cardinal's Battalion, when there is a war, will follow the elite soldiers and generals to plunder the formations, and pick up those with extraordinary eyesight to spy on the enemy's situation and choose the best. From a high platform or a high place inside and outside the city, one can observe whether the siege of the city is going smoothly or not, and select those who are good at it to supervise the army's food transportation, which was arranged by Han Jiangling at that time.
After defeating several cities one after another, the Cardinal's Camp was initially built in the first city of Zhongyi. There are very few rebels who are proficient in the art of literature and art of war. Even if the rebel army is overwhelmingly powerful and can conquer several cities, in the eyes of Lu Zicheng, Han Jiangling and other rebel generals, it is just a matter of remaining brave and relying on morale and an endless stream of refugees to make up for it. Even though Lu Zicheng, who has always had a very conceited temperament, sensed something was wrong, especially after capturing the first city of Zhongyi and when the troops were directed towards the inner city, Han Every time Jiang Ling drank tea, he would look at the happy rebels in the city, but his own expression was very different.
People are willing to seek comfort, but whether in Fengcheng or outside Fengcheng, everyone seems to be willing to plant the word comfort into their bones. Even if they know that others have swords at their throats, they still keep the word comfort. Take it more seriously than life.
There are not a few such people in Fengcheng, or in other words, there are also not a few such people in the world. Therefore, even though he is in several cities, Han Jiangling has never taken it lightly. On the contrary, his face is even more sad, and he is worried every day. .
No matter ordinary people or people in the rebel army, they often can't resist the word comfort, not to mention that after years of great disasters, it is rare to have such a place to stay. It would be okay if Neijia City had not been captured, but if it would be With the three extremely wealthy Neijia cities in hand, the endless refugees will surely lose their energy. At that time, most of the spirit that the rebels rely on most, as well as their intention to win, will be gone.
In this war in Fengcheng, where everyone is witnessing victory, the most important thing is not to be able to do it all in one go. What's more, there must be many talented people in the inner armor. Although they may not be proficient in warfare, they may be much more proficient in the method of provoking people's hearts. At least Han Jiangling and Lu Zicheng are definitely difficult to guard against. And if there is such an icing on the cake after everyone has achieved the coveted comfort, perhaps only two or three of the rebel forces will survive, but whether these two or three will make up for the morale and ambition, will the troops be able to fight to the death? It may not be enough to press into the first city of Inner A until the structure of Feng City is overturned.
Although Lu Zicheng usually firmly believed that he had some rules and regulations when arranging troops to attack the city, and he was probably born with some talent, but it was difficult to refute Han Jiangling's concerns. He was a martial artist by birth. When I was studying art with my teacher, I knew how vicious the word "ease" is. Even if you have extraordinary talent, if you are bound by the word "ease", your skills will probably only be mediocre and ordinary, and it will definitely be difficult to reach high places.
But according to Han Jiangling, at this time, we should not deploy a large number of rebels to besiege Neijia City. Don't act too hastily. Moreover, we must beware of frequent treacherous plots in Neijia City. It is definitely not an easy job. The number of rebels alone is getting larger and larger. The remaining food in the city is not enough for the rebel army, and it may not be able to support the needs of such a number of people. At this time, the rebel army is placed on the charcoal fire, and the firewood is frequently added. I don't know when the bonfire will lick the skin, but there is no need to think about it. Can know its necessity.
Fighting was impossible and there was no way to retreat. After several days of discussion, they had to come up with a compromise. Lu Zicheng rested for a while and then led his troops to attack the city. He conquered an inner city first and used it as a place to settle down and collect money and food. You have to be quick, even if the Inner City has already known that the troops are approaching, it will definitely move the grain and rice to the other two cities that are more centrally located. However, if you can take advantage of the strength of the army to capture an Inner City, there is still room for maneuver. As for Han Jiangling, he did not follow the army. Instead, he built the Cardinal Camp first and handed over to Han Jiangling the important task of detaining and killing spies or envoys who came from Neijia City.
As expected, the emissaries and emissaries coming from the capital city of Neijia were almost non-stop. There were thirty or fifty emissaries detained by the Cardinal Camp alone in more than ten days, and they all came with letters. They were all asking for peace or promising huge profits in order for the rebels to retreat. When the front stopped, there were even spies disguised as merchants, carrying several carts of money and grain out of the city, intending to go to the cities in the second and second grades to lure them and spread rumors. He then said that the Lord of Feng City had already issued an order to send people to deliver money and food to appease the people. What had been done would be forgotten. From now on, these people who came from the outer city of Bing and middle city B could enter the inner city.
However, in the eyes of Han Jiangling, these rhetorical tricks are still useless. As long as the Cardinal's camp is running around and guarding, this plan will not work.
Strict checks when entering and exiting the city can probably isolate this scheme. Most of the emissary spies who were detained were all taken by Han Jiangling to a courtyard not far from the mansion.
Although the weather is not very good today, there are still people coming to visit these emissaries who have no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies.
Although Han Jiangling ordered these miserable people to have a good life, he also told the rebels guarding this place that they must not seek death here. After all, he still needed to find out the truth from these people's mouths, so he was always imprisoned here. , it’s not too miserable.
However, what came was a child, and even the guards were dubious. They didn't know whose home this child was running away from, and he came here specifically to seek entertainment. However, although this child was young, his speech was old-fashioned, and he even wore a Korean He took the Jiangling Soldier Talisman and handed it to the guard here before finally letting him go and putting this young boy who was very measured in his words and actions into the room.
The child was indeed the child who followed Han Jiangling all over the country and sat on the wall with the latter. However, his expression and speech were more sophisticated than before. He found the way to the cage in the courtyard with familiarity, and searched for each other one by one. After all, he was in a prison. He stopped in front of the cage and suddenly grinned.
"How can you be a messenger if your horse's feet are not covered? There is not even a trace of mud on the soles of your boots, and even in this place of imprisonment, you have to put on airs and airs. But these are not the ones who are used to suffering and running errands for others. It is unparalleled by ordinary people. The city lord's palace is willing to treat such a noble person as a messenger. He must know something about the affairs in Neijia City. There is no one around him at the moment. Han Jiangling also went to fight hard in Neijia Shoucheng City. There is something that cannot be said clearly. ." Indeed, as the child said, the man in the cage was dressed in rich clothes. Shang Tongren asked for a futon. He sat cross-legged and calmly, with his eyes slightly closed. But the most eye-catching thing was the pair of thick robes inlaid with jade at the back. The boots were really not stained by any mud. Hearing the child speak, he slowly opened his eyes with a calm expression.
"It seems that among the so-called rebels, the one who is least confused is actually a child. When the rebels are destroyed and Fengcheng welcomes peace again, I will be the one to persuade the city lord to spare my little brother's life. It is my right to The meeting gift I gave you, as for stupid people like Han Jiangling and Lu Zicheng, I am sorry that I am really helpless." The children also did not mind the rain and mud in the courtyard for the first two days. They sat on the ground with their clothes on and looked up to the sky instead of looking at what was in front of them. people.
"There are always people who say with certainty that they can win the war, but unfortunately they often fail to do so. From our point of view, war in the world is like gambling. It is the ability to make a place strong enough to withstand the consumption of the war, and to arrange the troops. It is also a skill to be able to comply with the art of war, make few mistakes, adapt to changes, move step by step, and come up with strange plans. However, if there is no difference between the two armies in the military situation, the victory or defeat will often have to be left to the fate of God. , the weather is the most important, and don’t say that the defeat of the loser is beyond the reach of foolishness, let alone the victory of the winner. Victory lies in one’s own profound ability, and often masters all the reasons. That’s called being unreasonable.” But. The man in rich clothes sitting in the cage did not take the child's head and continue to speak. Instead, he changed the subject of the conversation.
"My little brother has such knowledge, I really admire him, but he may not be able to guess the outcome accurately. Not long afterward, a message was sent by flying birds and fast horses, saying that the gate of the first city in the inner armor was broken, and the rebel army invaded the city like a broken bamboo, but this city was How could the inner city controlled by the previous lords of Feng City be so miserable? You might as well guess who allowed the rebels to enter the city. The inner city is already a big urn, but the unfortunate thing is that The rebels have to enter even if they don't enter. The city lord's layout is so exquisite that I can't compare to it." The number of guards in Neijia City was an imaginary number from the beginning. The chess game laid out by the new city lord was fictitious and real. Even the people in Neijia City were also It is difficult to distinguish between true and false. In the end, not only the rebels, but also the people in Inner City were in danger. It was only by means of coaxing the minds of the clan, nobles and wealthy people that they managed to suppress the storm. In fact, the whole army was in danger. This inner armored city, I don’t know when, has been transformed into a pocket that can hold the universe.
Not only are there troops everywhere in the city, but there are also powerful crossbows hidden in dangerous ambush pits and wooden stakes in teahouses and taverns.
Not only were the highest points in the city heavily guarded, but the choke points were also attacked by three troops and fell within five steps. There was also a very heavy guard behind the city, many of whom were highly skilled warriors and skilled in swords and horses. There were no less than a thousand cavalry, intending to let the rebels enter the city and then kill and clean up the remaining troops.
With such a layout, let alone the current number of rebels, even if they were increased several times, they would probably fall into a quagmire and be unable to protect themselves.
Upon hearing this, the child stood up straight away, not caring about smoothing his clothes, looked at the man meaningfully, turned around and walked away.
The people in Neijia City claim to know people's hearts, but that's all it seems to be. The sick young man stood outside the door, but for some unknown reason, most of his illness had faded away. When the children went out, he glanced at the courtyard and followed the children slowly away. However, no one with eyesight needed to see the young man. The strength of human legs and feet is very strange.
