No matter how much hatred and anger he had now, Li Zheng had to suppress his temper and wait. With the current war situation, they didn't have any chance to send troops. The time hadn't come yet, so they could only wait.
After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanyang. If their whereabouts are exposed, they will inevitably be annihilated by the Jing army.
But Zhang Yan in Lingshikou was suffering to death.
After Zhang Liao led his army out eastward, Lingshikou was determined not to be occupied by the enemy again. The fastest orders and logistical materials from Chang'an to the front line need to pass through Lingshi. With the material support from Taiyuan in a short period of time, the army will not run out of food, but it is not yet known how far the war situation in Jizhou will develop. After all, this is the state of Wei There are many uncertainties in the old nest, and Lingshikou must be regained.
Of course, Zhang Yan knew that Lingshikou was now the choke point for Zhang Liao's army. As long as he held on to Lingshikou, he could force Zhang Liao's army to return due to lack of food. Of course, his end would be death.
Gan Ning has received Zhang Liao's death order. Within three days, he will capture Lingshikou, kill Zhang Yan, and open up the intelligence line from Chang'an to the front line. Ten days have passed from the time Zhang Liao captured Jingxingkou to the time his troops left the Taihang Mountains and headed for Ye Jing. , in the past ten days, they have lost contact with Chang'an, and they have no idea what the battle situation is like in Duyang City. The Yellow River is a veto port, and whether Zhang Xian's troops are in place. All these news are blocked by the Lingshi Port.
It was equivalent to blindfolding Zhang Liao.
Does Gan Ning not know the importance of Lingshikou? But in order to defend the city, Zhang Yan, the Wei general at Lingshikou, arrested all the people in Lingshikou and knelt in dozens of rows under the city. There were also many people on top of the city. If Gan Ning wanted to attack the city, he had to step on the people. Only the corpses of the people in the city can be taken to the city, but who dares to attack the city at such a high standard that all the people in the city are killed?
Even if the city is captured now, his vicious deeds of killing all the people in the city will inevitably be recorded in history books in the future.
Fifteen miles outside Lingshikou, inside the main tent of the Jingjun Army.
The new order from Zhang Liao was placed on the table. Gan Ning frowned with worry. Zhang Yan took the people as hostages, which made Gan Ning suffer from thousands of troops but did not dare to attack the city. He was blocked here by Zhang Yan. After ten days, I heard that Li Yan had made a great contribution by capturing Cao Zhang alive. The other generals had made great achievements of varying degrees, but he was wasted here. Not only did he not make any achievements, but he might also delay the war and lead to a serious crime.
In the past few days, he couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and was anxious.
"There is no way to go on like this!" Tian Jing sighed, this situation is indeed difficult, it is almost impeccable, unless he is as cruel as Zhang Yan, who doesn't care about the life and death of the people, but Emperor Jing Zhang Xiu loves the people like his sons, who among them dares to kill the people?
"Zhang Yan, this remnant of the Yellow Turban, is so cruel that he won't even spare the common people. It's so hateful!" Gan Ning punched the table with a bang, gritting his teeth to vent his anger, causing several teacups on the table to spill out. dripping water.
Tian Jing thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, we can start with the common people."
Gan Ning stared at Tian Jing fiercely: "You dare to kill people?"
Tian Jing smiled bitterly: "The emperor loves the people as his own sons, how dare I kill them? What I mean is that the people of Lingshikou are deeply loved by the emperor. They divide their fields and establish civil laws. They are thinking of us. If they have the opportunity to resist , I guess they won’t sit still and wait for death.”
Gan Ning suddenly realized: "You mean to let the people resist?"
"Yes, only in this way can we defeat the enemy, otherwise we will be wasted here by Zhang Yan."
"The people are unarmed. To resist is to seek death!"
"It is better than us killing the people. I would rather let the Wei army kill the people who resisted. My Dajing's weapons must not be stained with the blood of my Dajing people!"
Gan Ning's eyes jumped suddenly, and he stared at Tian Jing with a strange look, as if he had met him for the first time. It was shocking to hear these words coming from Tian Jing's mouth.
Tian Jing also knew that what he said was a bit exaggerated, and explained: "We can't delay the war opportunity just because of the people at a pass. Besides, as soon as the people start to resist, we will immediately raise troops to assist the people. At that time, Zhang Yan will have to turn all his troops against We, in this way, the people can have a chance of recovery.”
Gan Ning withdrew his gaze and considered it carefully.
After a moment he asked: "How do we get weapons into the hands of the people?"
Tian Jing: "We just need to find some archers with superb archery skills, tie the blades to the arrows, and shoot them into the crowd of people. Don't accidentally injure the people. Then we attack the city. If the people don't fight hard, they will die. They will naturally pick up the arrows." Knife resists.”
Gan Ning thought thoughtfully and asked, "What should we do if the common people point their swords at our army?"
Tian Jing sneered: "If this is the case, then they are not my people in Dajing, but our enemies!"
Hearing this, Gan Ning frowned and stared at Tian Jing. The talents from Xiliang are all ruthless. They drowned millions of people in the Central Plains in the Yellow River. This plan is not without poison. Tian Jing is Jia Xu's protégé and is highly valued by Jia Xu. Now Jia Xu's protégé, Tian Jing, has come up with another evil plan, forcing the people to resist with swords.
But he had to admit that this plan was the best way at the moment, and it was also a clever plan.
It's just that it hurts the people.
Gan Ning thought for a moment, and a look of determination appeared on his face. He was kind but not in charge of troops. Such a critical moment was not the time for his kindness as a woman. Moreover, the original intention of this plan was not to kill the people, but to save them. However, this idea was a bit far-fetched. . He stood up and stared at Tian Jing: "Okay! Yiguang's plan is very good, so I will follow it!"
That night, Gan Ning selected 300 archers with superb archery skills from the army. In fact, the soldiers in Dajing's army were not bad at both archery and hand and foot skills. Many of them were even literate. These were the military knowledge schools. After years of hard work, as long as they have free time, soldiers who love to learn will take their sergeant certificates to the school to study and take care of their meals.
This also makes the soldiers in the army have outstanding abilities and strong overall strength.
Stronger execution capabilities.
After selecting the people, explain the combat mission to them in detail, then tie the weapon blade to the arrow body, and under the leadership of a veteran, quietly move towards the spirit stone mouth. Gan Ning also gathered a large army and was always ready to attack the city.
At midnight, at the foot of Lingshikou City.
Countless people near Lingshikou were tied up and detained under the city by the Black Tiger Army. In order to prevent them from resisting, Zhang Yan only gave them one meal a day. Everyone was suffering from hunger and cold. At first, they were afraid that the Jing army would kill them for attacking the city. However, after the Jing army saw the people, they actually retreated.
Suddenly, countless people felt grateful to their own army.
At this moment, everyone was drowsy, with their heads drooped and leaning on the back of the person in front of them.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, there was a sound in the dark night.
Among the crowd, a young man had just fallen into a hazy coma when he suddenly felt a cold light. He was so frightened that he hurriedly opened his eyes, and his eyes suddenly widened. In front of him was a sharp arrow, with a blade that exuded a cold light tied to the arrow.
