Songting Pass!
Or should it be called Luronce!
Zhu Di looked at the Xiongguan Fortress with an arc at the corner of his mouth.
Before leaving, he went to consult Su Yang, the banished immortal, and learned many disgusting methods.
"If you want to break through a strong fortress with a lot of troops, it would be the most stupid thing to attack directly. As the sages said, the way to use troops is to attack the heart first, attack the city next, fight with the heart first, and fight with soldiers last!"
These are Su Yang's original words.
But Zhu Di couldn't remember which sage said this.
But this did not affect the fact that Zhu Di learned some siege methods from Su Yang.
At this moment, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan, Qiu Fu and other generals were all here, looking at Zhu Di with burning eyes.
Zhu Gaoxu asked impatiently: "Dad, tell me, how should we fight?"
"Attack the city directly!" Zhu Di said.
Generals: "???"
Damn it?
Attack the city directly?
Are you kidding me here?
Brother, didn’t you say you have a good plan to break the city?
All the generals were dumbfounded and froze on the spot for a moment.
Zhang Yu bravely spoke and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these 30,000 soldiers are direct descendants of our headquarters!"
"I'm afraid that direct attack on the city will cause heavy casualties. If so..."
The main body of the 30,000 soldiers Zhu Di brought with him at this moment were the 25,000 soldiers and horses of the Yanshan Three Guards, mixed with the 5,000 outstanding troops surrendered by the imperial court.
In other words, these 30,000 troops are Zhu Di's direct troops, and they are the source of Zhu Di's confidence to raise troops to quell Jingnan!
If we really attack the city directly, there will definitely be heavy casualties!
Songting Pass is a fortress, and Bu Wan personally leads an army of 30,000 to garrison it. How can it be defeated so easily?
At that time, I am afraid that Yan Jun will steal the chicken but lose the rice, and will get himself into trouble instead.
Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"The five of you each lead 6,000 troops and take turns to attack without stopping!"
"Advance when you hear the sound of drums, retreat when you hear the sound of gold. Don't be wary. Those who disobey orders will be subject to military law!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu and the other five people were a little confused, but they did not dare to disobey His Highness King Yan's order.
Zhu Gaoxu took the lead in the battle and led 6,000 troops to attack Songting Pass.
At the same time, Songtingguan drums were beating loudly.
Generals such as Bu Wan, Liu Zhen and Chen Heng boarded the city.
Looking at the turbulent Yan Jun outside the pass, the three of them had serious expressions.
"Zhu Di is really here to kill him!"
"Command the three armies to defend the city to the death!"
"Anyone who dares to make lies to confuse the public and disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"
Bu Wan ordered with a cold face and a very stern tone.
He is very aware of his current situation and even more aware of the responsibilities on his shoulders.
If Songting Pass is captured by King Zhu Di of Yan, then the Yan army can march straight into Daning!
There is another King Ning Zhu Quan in Da Ningke. King Yan and King Ning have a deep friendship, and Bu Wan does not dare to take this risk!
Once King Ning is persuaded by King Yan to join forces to rebel, then based on their prestige in the military, I am afraid that the 300,000 frontier troops from the two major capitals, Ningdu and Beiping, will follow them to rebel!
At that time, who can stop Yan King Zhu Di?
Therefore, there is no room for error in Songting Pass!
Following Bu Wan's order, the officers and soldiers of the three armies quickly made preparations.
Seeing the Yan army rushing towards the pass, the Songting Pass defenders immediately launched an attack!
The rain of arrows, as dense as locusts, poured out, but only took away the lives of a few unlucky ones.
Because they rushed too fast, they were already out of touch with the main force of the Yan army.
Zhu Gaoxu screamed and charged forward on his horse. Just when he was about to kill everyone and show his style as Mr. Mighty, the sound of gold suddenly came from behind him!
"Advance when you hear the sound of drums, retreat when you hear the sound of gold. Don't be wary. Those who disobey orders will be subject to military law!"
Zhu Di's warning resounded in his mind, and Zhu Gaoxu turned his horse around and ordered the withdrawal without even thinking.
The officers and soldiers of the Yan Army did not panic at all. Thanks to Su Yang's military discipline training in Xishan, although they could not understand it, they acted honestly in accordance with the military orders.
We will withdraw our troops when we are told to do so, without any hesitation.
On the contrary, Bu Wan and others were stunned by this outrageous scene.
What does this mean?
You launch an attack with a whimper, then turn around and run away?
Brother, you haven’t even rushed to the city gate yet, why are you leaving like this?
Why did you do this on purpose? Did you tell us that Zhu Di came to attack the city?
Bu Wan was a little dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at Liu Zhen and Chen Heng.
The two of them were also confused and confused.
They have never seen such a fight!
Liu Zhen thought about his words and then said bravely: "I have heard that King Zhu Di of Yan used his army cunningly. Is this his conspiracy?"
Bu Wanshen nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered: "Instruct the three armies to be on guard and guard to the death. No one is allowed to leave his post without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
In the face of strict military law, the soldiers at Songtingguan could only endure their resentment and forcibly guarded the area all night.
However, this night was simply the beginning of a nightmare!
Yan Jun did run away, but then they came again!
Just as the defenders were waiting, they turned around and ran away again before they reached the city gate!
This cycle went on and on for a whole night, and in the end even Bu Wan himself couldn't bear it.
After all, in such a life-and-death battle, the nerves are naturally tense and there is never a moment to relax.
However, these Yan troops only attacked but did not fight, so they were fooled all night long!
Only then did Bu Wan react and cursed angrily: "Damn traitor, you are so despicable!"
"We have all been tricked by the traitor Zhu Di. He has no intention of attacking the city at all!"
"This is a tactic to weaken our troops. He is deliberately demoralizing and shaking our army's morale!"
Hearing this, Chen Heng looked at him helplessly.
Now I understand that you are really a famous general!
Bu Wan saw through Zhu Di's true purpose, and immediately ordered the guards to take turns, letting some soldiers rest on the spot first.
However, the Yan army had been taking turns to rest from the beginning. Now they would not be given a chance to rest. They blew the horn again and launched an attack.
And this attack was completely different from the past. Just when the defenders thought they were just showing off, so they relaxed a little and didn't even shoot a few arrows, the Yan army suddenly reached the foot of the city wall and began to climb up with the help of ladders. !
Bu Wan was shocked when he heard this. He had just fallen asleep, but he had to rush to the top of the city and started a desperate fight with the Yan army!
But when they fought back desperately, the Yan army received the order to withdraw again, and quickly receded like the tide, leaving only corpses strewn all over the city!
Looking at the physically and mentally exhausted defenders, Bu Wan roared angrily!
"Rebel Zhu Di, you are so despicable and shameless!"
Yan army camp!
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu coldly.
"I have said that when you hear the sound of drums, advance forward, and when you hear the sound of gold, retreat. Never be wary. Those who disobey orders will be subject to military law!"
"Zhu Gaoxu, why do you want to lead your army to attack the city? Can't you hear the sound of gold?"
Zhu Gaoxu was tied up with five flowers and was kneeling on the ground.
However, he didn't take it seriously and shouted to himself: "How long should we continue to attack the city like this?"
"Bastard!" Zhu Di was furious.
"Someone, drag this beast out and behead it in public!"
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
ha?
Damn it?
Beheaded in public?
Dad, are you serious?
Zhu Gaoxu panicked and realized the seriousness of the problem.
But he has always been unwilling to admit defeat, and is still shouting: "I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
"Drag it out and chop it!"
