Wan Yanliang felt inexplicable shame.
A previous battle made him feel like he was being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Liberation Army.
As the emperor and the army of the Celestial Kingdom, facing a group of lowly and rebellious thieves, they were defeated and had to retreat.
Is this still how a master of the king of heaven should feel?
If this battle cannot be won, Wan Yanliang knows very well how serious the consequences will be.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Zhou led an army to attack the State of Zheng, but was defeated by the State of Zheng. As a result, the prestige of the Zhou royal family plummeted, and they lost the power to command the princes. The world actually entered an era when the strong was king.
And the same goes for himself. If he cannot suppress the rebellion, he will lose his supreme status and power, and even the Kingdom of Jin will not be able to keep it.
The current situation is that he has lost his troops and his generals, but the damage to the Liberation Army in the city is extremely limited. If this continues, it feels like there is no need to fight this battle.
In the morning battle, the entire Jin army, not counting the signing troops and civilians, had more than 800 soldiers killed in the battle, and thousands more were injured and lost combat effectiveness. These injured and loss of combat effectiveness will also be eliminated in the days to come. Non-combat attrition will result in waste that cannot fight.
How can the Daijin army tolerate useless people who can't fight?
There is no saying that this battle cannot continue like this.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any good method. He could only think of "using magic to fight magic". He felt that he had to urge the transport team to transport the Jin Army's own firearms as soon as possible, so as to contain the attack of the Guangfu Army's firearms.
But before that, I can only endure it for the time being.
In the afternoon, the Jin Army did not attack. Wan Yanliang forcibly resisted the urge to fight to the death with the Liberation Army and decided to wait for the arrival of firearms and the arrival of night.
In Hejian City, Jiang Liangping saw that the Jin Army did not launch an attack in the afternoon, so he felt that the Jin Army had bad intentions.
His deputy Chen Qian followed him on the city wall and felt strange.
"There are so many golden soldiers, they won't be so weak that they won't come back just because they were hit by our firearms, right?"
"How can fighting be so easy? They are just waiting for the opportunity. If one move doesn't work, they will use another move. If hundreds of thousands of troops just retreat like this, they will die. Wan Yanliang will be killed by his ministers. "
Jiang Liangping shook his head.
"opportunity?"
Chen Qian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "They are going to wait until night, after dark, and then take advantage of the darkness to fill up the moat ditch, so that it will be inconvenient for us to deal with them!"
"That's it."
Jiang Liangping nodded: "If we really want to do this, we have no good solution. Sooner or later, the moat ditch will be filled in, and their heavy equipment will come over and face us directly sooner or later. However, this is something that has been expected for a long time. Isn’t it?”
Chen Qian then nodded slowly.
"Indeed, this is something that can be expected. It can be stopped for a while, but not for a lifetime. The Yellow River can't stop the gold thief, and the river can't stop Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Natural dangers are natural dangers, but there are no unbreakable natural dangers in the world. .
General, I used to think that Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty said that "virtue is not dangerous" was nonsense and made no sense at all, but now that I think about it, how could it be wrong?
Since ancient times, natural dangers have never stopped the change of dynasties. It is as difficult as the road to Shu, which could not stop Deng Ai. So I was thinking, no matter what the natural dangers are, there are people who can overcome them. What is the meaning of the natural dangers? "
Jiang Liangping smiled and nodded, then looked at Chen Qian and said with a smile: "At first, I remember that you disliked reading. Why, you have read a lot of books recently? Your knowledge has increased a lot!"
Chen Qian is also an old man of the Su family, but he is not the earliest close confidant of Su Yonglin. He is a salt-making worker and one of the people who were forced by Su Yonglin to study and read with the overtime bonus.
Now the group of salt workers have basically become the middle and senior officers of the Liberation Army. They are an important part of the officer group of the Liberation Army and can be called the mainstay.
Because of his bravery in the early days, Chen Qian quickly became an officer. When Su Yonglin encouraged them to study and study, he was very unhappy and told others several times that bravery was the most important on the battlefield and that studying was just useless.
I never thought that I would become a learned person now and know so many historical allusions.
"Alang gave me a lesson before."
Chen Qian said with a smile: "I don't like reading, I only like practicing martial arts. I think martial arts is the most important thing for a general. Alang taught me how Sun Quan persuaded Lu Meng to study, so I felt that studying is a very important thing."
Jiang Liangping was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chen Qian with a somewhat meaningful look.
"Do you know what Sun Quan's real purpose is in persuading students to learn?"
"The real purpose?"
"Alang also used this story to persuade me before. I didn't quite understand it at first. Later, after Dr. Tian told me something, I understood what Alang meant."
"this……"
Chen Qian looked at Jiang Liangping with confusion: "I am a rough man, I have little education and I can't figure it out, so I asked the general for advice."
"If you don't understand, it means that you, like me at the time, are not yet knowledgeable. Read that story when you have time. If we are all still alive after this battle, I will tell you."
Saying this, Jiang Liangping patted Chen Qian's shoulder and walked down the city wall with a smile.
The doubts in Chen Qian's heart became more serious, but Jiang Liangping didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to continue doing his work, inspecting the defenses, and checking whether the preparations at each defensive position were complete.
The Jin soldiers really did not continue to attack until the sun set and the Liberation Army began to have dinner. The Jin soldiers still did not come. However, the more this happened, the more Jiang Liangping asked the troops to be vigilant.
The intensity of the offensive and defensive battle was not high at the moment, so Jiang Liangping arranged two shifts of defense, and arranged another wave of energetic soldiers to defend the city at night.
The Jin soldiers really wanted to use the cover of night to fill the moat. As the night got darker, Wanyan Benjian personally directed the soldiers to rush to the moat with sandbags on their backs, throw sandbags to the moat, and try to use the fastest speed to cover up the moat. Deep and fast ditches fill up.
For a time, the entire river ditch was surrounded by Jin Army soldiers. They were sweating profusely in the cold weather.
At this moment, an ominous sound came and the Liberation Army's attack began.
Although it was very dark and could not see where the Jin soldiers were, during the day Jiang Liangping asked the crossbowmen and trebuchet throwers to adjust the shooting distance in the direction of the moat ditch.
When the Jin soldiers start taking action at night, no matter what, blow up the motherfucker first, then blow up the moat ditch area, that's right.
The sky was very dark, and it was not only the Guangfu Army that could not be seen clearly, but also the Jin Army.
As soon as the explosion and screams started, the entire operation suffered a huge blow. Many people were so frightened that they fell into the ditch without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
It's not easy to maintain order at night. When the explosion started, it wasn't just the soldiers who were frightened. The officers were also frightened. Especially when the explosion went off at an unknown place, it was so dark that no one could see it. It was not clear who it was, and the army was suddenly in chaos.
There were countless people pushing each other, shouting at the top of their lungs, and trampling on each other.
With his eyes darkened, he didn't know how many people died.
Wanyan Ben's face turned pale and he knew that such a large-scale operation at night would not work.
The new firearms of the Liberation Army were really a bit evil, so he could only withdraw his troops at the expense of money and light torches first to get order in the team.
Otherwise, I don’t know how many people would have escaped in one night.
When he went to meet Wan Yanliang after having put order in the chaos, he saw Wan Yanliang's stinky face.
