There are many servants and soldiers on Guangchang City, ready to attack.
Under Guangchang City, ant soldiers gathered in groups, eager to try.
In the bridge battle, Zhang Sheng led his soldiers to repel Gao Lan's men. At night, two fire dragons marched from the north and south to the Juma Water Bridge. When the short fire dragon in the north discovered the endless fire dragon in the south, , immediately turned around and retreated to Jinpi Pass. So far, there was no more fighting overnight.
There was no military tent or main camp. Zhang Sheng's pre-war meeting followed the old practice and was held in the open air. The ant soldiers were in the middle. The guards made a simple defense with a hundred steps as a circle. The leaders of the ant soldiers gathered there. middle.
"Brother, in the siege of the city, I will be the first to attack."
After analyzing the battlefield situation, Yu Zhong was the first to jump out to share the worries for his brother.
"A-Zhong, it's not your turn to be the first to go first this time." Zhang Sheng glanced at his brother who had linen wrapped around his chest and abdomen, and rejected his request.
Yu Zhong fought against Gao Lan. Although he was not seriously injured, due to his desperate fighting style, he suffered a lot of minor injuries. Given the choice, Zhang Sheng really couldn't bear to have his brother fight for his life again.
"Brother..."
Yu Zhong wanted to fight again, but Zhang Sheng raised his hand to stop him, looked at the other thieves and said, "Tell me, how can I attack this city?"
After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he looked at his subordinates and saw that they all frowned and thought, except Hong Jian who looked thoughtful.
"Dahong, tell me." No one spoke, so Zhang Sheng had to call his name.
"Lang, Langjun, I, I..." Dahong didn't expect Zhang Sheng to call his name.
Ever since he joined the army of Zhang Sheng in Pingshan Valley, his job has been to teach children how to read. The rest of the time, he cooperates with Shitou and Uncle Bao to do some minor civil affairs. In the military aspect, he usually has no business of his own.
Every time I came to participate in pre-war discussions, I asked Uncle Bao and the others to bring him here. The purpose was simply to fully understand the civil cooperation, and it was the same this time.
Some preliminary preparations have been made for the attack on Guangchang City. For example, the previously prefabricated catapults will be put to use now. However, when it was previously prefabricated, it could only be made of pieces of wood for the convenience of transportation. Now the siege requires craftsmen to assemble it under the city. In addition, a catapult without stones is not enough. Soldiers need to fight, and carrying stones from a distance is a matter for the old and weak in the valley.
He came here this time just to understand the logistics and coordination matters. Unexpectedly, Zhang Sheng actually called his name, which made him a little nervous.
"Say whatever comes to mind. This is not the first time you have participated in this kind of discussion." Zhang Sheng pretended to be relaxed and encouraged Dahong.
"Lang Jun, when we attacked the county town near Puwu, the other side saw that we were powerful. Many officials and wealthy households abandoned the city and fled before we arrived. This shows that they were afraid of us. Now, we are attacking Guangchang. Although the other party has not abandoned the city and fled, I think the big families all have the same idea and are afraid of their lives. Therefore, I think we can make more noise in the early stage of attacking Guangchang City, so that their fear will be more What's more, at this time, we are surrounded by three and one is missing, and then we arrange a team of troops to intercept their retreat..." Dahong slowly expressed his thoughts.
Zhang Sheng listened to Dahong's thoughts and was a little impressed. After all, he was a person who had read books and had something in his mind. At the same time, he was also glad that the reckless man in Wulu did not listen to the words of the person in front of him, otherwise, he would still have to spend some effort to swallow him.
Dahong's method is feasible. To sum up, it is more cost-effective to shock the enemy, make them fearful and have the idea of escape, and then ambush the troops and intercept them halfway than relying on manpower to storm this strong city. Even if some people are reluctant to abandon the city, there are always some people who cherish their lives and will choose to escape. In this way, the pressure of siege will be much less.
"Dahong's idea is good. From now on, everyone wants him to learn and use his brain more when encountering problems. If there is only one missing, Guangchang will fight like this. Tell me, which door should we let go?"
Zhang Sheng fully affirmed Dahong's idea and praised it, and then led everyone to start discussing the battle plan.
"Brother, north gate, let's open the north gate and attack the southeast. In this way, the enemy will still be in Guangchang territory after leaving the city, and they can't escape." With Dahong's plan and Zhang Sheng's affirmation, everyone's minds were mobilized , Yu Zhong expressed his thoughts.
"No, you can't open the north gate. Open the south gate and let the enemy pass through Tianma Pass. If you open the north gate and the enemy goes around the city to Blackstone Ridge, it will be a big problem in the future." Xu An weakly expressed his thoughts .
Good boy, think about the big picture!
Zhang Sheng was heartbroken when he heard Xu An's thoughts. He raised his head and carefully looked at the thin boy below, and secretly praised him in his heart.
It is true that the west gate of Guangchang City cannot be opened. It leads to Feihuxing, passes through Feihuxing and crosses Heishiling to Yu County of Bingzhou. There are a large number of southern Xiongnu who were formerly attached to the city.
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
It can be said that the Xianbei and Northern Xiongnu were able to travel from outside the Pass via Feihuxing to Laiyuan and cross Puyin to harass Youji. The Southern Xiongnu "contributed indispensably". They acted as guides and accomplices when others invaded.
Therefore, the Blackstone Ridge pass on Feihuxing must be in your own hands, and Tianma Pass can be released, because even if it is not in your hands for the time being, it is not a big problem. If you be careful to watch out for them, Guangchang will not be a big problem.
However, if Heishiling is not in his own hands, once the big families collude with foreigners to harass Guangchang on a large scale, his purpose of planning Guangchang Laiyuan, a small basin in the mountains, will be completely defeated.
At that time, if they don't attack the city, they will frequently harass the villages and towns near Guangchang. This will be enough to give them a big headache. How about production?
Moreover, another purpose of seeking to seize Guangchang Laiyuan is to strengthen the army, train troops and develop.
To train a strong army, you must look for foreigners.
Whether it is the Southern Xiongnu who have joined the Haners in the same bed, or they are always eyeing the Xianbei and Northern Xiongnu at the Haners outside the Great Wall, they are all excellent training targets. And if you want to find these people to train troops, strengthen the army, rob, and seize horses, Feihuxing and Blackstone Ridge must be in your own hands, so that you can come and go freely.
Now, if we give up the North Gate or the West Gate, as Xu An said, if the big families escape the interception and run to Black Rock Ridge, then how can we train, strengthen the army, and seek development?
The northwest gate must not be released!
"Open the south gate!" Zhang Sheng settled on the city gate, which was surrounded by three and one missing, and looked at his brother lightly.
Yu Zhong blushed and lowered his head.
I dare say that the idea is good, but many things are not considered and the overall situation is not considered, so we still need to strengthen our training.
With Zhang Sheng's confirmation, the siege plan was refined bit by bit. After noon, a relatively qualified attack plan gradually took shape...
