When Shen Guang heard this, he took a deep breath and did not waste any more energy on the whizzing stone bullets and kerosene bombs.
"Brother, in your opinion, can our army defend Baoying City in this battle?"
Shen Guang's body swayed and he came to the man's side.
He looked at the Huai army soldiers who were advancing rapidly towards the city wall, as well as the numerous siege equipment that looked ferocious at first sight.
There was a trace of worry in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask.
The man he called his eldest brother glanced at him and said, "If Chen Leng thinks the same way as you do, then even if I give you an army of 200,000, you won't be able to defend the city!"
"For a general, the most important thing for decisiveness is firm belief. Generals whose minds are shaken when encountering the enemy and who are indecisive, even if they can rely on bravery to win once or twice, will sooner or later be defeated and die. Has!"
The man's voice was slightly deeper.
Shen Guang was taught a lesson by the other party, without any anger on his face, because he knew that his elder brother was telling him this.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother said yes, but I come from a rough background and don't know much about military strategy. Being a vanguard is fine, but I'm really not good at commanding an army!"
"If my eldest brother hadn't saved my life not long ago, I would have died in battle!"
When Shen Guang said this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said seriously: "Brother, with your ability and reputation, as long as I recommend it to His Majesty, you will definitely be canonized by Your Majesty and become a general in command of thousands of troops. , why do you deliberately keep your name anonymous?”
"The world is in chaos right now, and it's the time for heroes to use their weapons. Don't you want me to hold troops and horses, be granted the title of marquis and become a general?"
The man next to him sneered.
"Yang Guang is from the Guanlong clan, and most of the generals under his command are from the North. That is to say, you are loyal to Yang Guang, so you were promoted to general... I, Shen Tianzi, come from the Wuxing rich clan, how can I defect to the Beiren clan?"
the man said.
He is surprisingly the famous general Shen Tianzi under the command of Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty Liu Yu. In the original history, he followed Liu Yu in the southern and northern campaigns and made many achievements. Later, he led his army in the northern expedition and defeated Southern Yan and Later Qin.
With hundreds of people, he attacked the tens of thousands of troops of Later Qin, took the lead in attacking Chang'an, and swept through Guanzhong.
These achievements alone are enough to be passed down from generation to generation and become a famous general praised by future generations.
However, because he killed the famous general Wang Zhene without authorization, it led to internal strife in the Song army and Guanzhong fell into the hands of Helian Bobo.
Wang Zhene, who was killed by him, was the grandson of the former Qin Prime Minister Wang Meng. He had a high reputation in Guanzhong. If he had not died, Guanzhong would not have been conquered by Hu Xia.
Therefore, Shen Tianzi made great contributions to the Song Army, but his faults were also huge.
With the fall of Guanzhong, most of Liu Yu's achievements in the Northern Expedition disappeared. In the eyes of many people, this was Liu Yu's biggest opportunity to unify the world.
After Shen Tianzi knew his original fate and the harm he had caused to the Song army.
He gave up his plan to return to Jiangnan to find Liu Yilong's services.
If he returned to the south of the Yangtze River, he would be embarrassed to meet his old friends, so he might as well go north to the Jianghuai River to hang out.
Shen Guang was also born in Wuxing.
The two are not only from the same village, but also from the same clan. That's why Shen Tianzi, a naturally arrogant general, was so close to Shen Guang.
"Is it necessary to distinguish southerners and northerners so clearly?"
Shen Guang disagreed.
Hearing this, Shen Tianzi turned to look at him deeply and said, "I know that people from the south and people from the north are all the same, but right now in this world, the north and the south are thousands of miles apart. If a northerner sweeps across the south of the Yangtze River, , How can a wealthy family from Jiangnan be willing to accept this?"
"Moreover, Yang Guang has a stubborn personality and is not a wise master. How can I serve under him?"
Shen Guang was very loyal to Yang Guang. He frowned and said, "Brother, do you have a misunderstanding about Your Majesty? Your Majesty ended badly in the original history, mainly because of the troubles of the powerful families in the court..." Gu Yu
"Of course, His Majesty has a somewhat impatient personality, but he has now changed his ways. When His Majesty was young, he led the army to destroy Nanchen and unify the world, ended hundreds of years of war, established culture and education, and dredged the canal. These are all achievements of a thousand years..."
Shen Tianzi waved his hands impatiently and said, "Stop talking. If Yang Guang is as good as you say, he will not lose the country and become a subjugated king, leading to the death of Sui Ting II."
"If you have a long-term perspective, you should make plans for yourself!"
Shen Guang's expression changed slightly.
He knew that Shen Tianzi rarely changed his views on things he believed in, so he could only keep his mouth shut and stop persuading him to formally join the army.
at this time.
After the Huai army used kerosene bombs and stone bombs to suppress the city head, the siege engines, crash carts and building carts were pushed to the front. The building carts were like mountains, slowly approaching, almost flush with the city wall.
There were archers on top, constantly shooting down the city wall defenders with arrows.
Uh-huh!
An armor-piercing arrow whizzed over. The archer on a building car had sharp eyes and saw Shen Guang and Shen Tianzi. The archer subconsciously shot a cold arrow at Shen Tianzi.
Compared to Shen Guang, Shen Tianzi looks more like the general who commanded the Sui army!
Shen Tianzi stretched out his hand to catch the long arrow that was shot, and then threw it with his backhand. The arrow was surrounded by strong wind. The strong wind formed a cyclone, pushing the arrow into a stream of wind.
There was a flash of brilliance.
The archer who had just shot a cold arrow at Shen Tianzi screamed, and his chest was pierced by the arrow.
After Shen Tianzi fought back, he didn't look at the archer's fate again.
He took a step forward and glanced at the soldiers of Huai Army who were moving forward.
"The King of Huai is really powerful. It is said that when he captured Sihong, he began to spread the basic military skills among the army, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of resources to train strong soldiers!"
"Nowadays, the Huai army is so sharp that if it weren't for the city wall, it would be no match for the Sui army head-on!"
Shen Tianzi's eyes flickered and he thought to himself.
There is also the Huai Army general who defeated the Sui army not long ago and pursued Shen Guang... Although he took action to repel the opponent, it is undeniable that the Huai Army general is as powerful as a tiger and is absolutely extraordinary.
The Huai army has great generals and strong soldiers. The only advantage of the Sui army was that it had a deep foundation and a large number of people under its control.
At this time.
He turned his eyes and saw the Sui army commander Chen Leng in the distance still roaring, personally commanding the defenders to release rolling wood and rocks, and pushing the ladder away with a push rod...
Shen Tianzi shook his head slightly when he saw this.
It's not that Chen Leng didn't do a good job. Chen Leng guarded the city very strictly and assigned his soldiers very strictly. He did a good job.
But what he did was just what a captain in command of thousands of people should do.
It is not something that a commander of an army should do.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, you should have an overview of the overall situation, rather than expending your energy on small things that a captain can do well.
"How can the Sui army be invincible with such a general?"
In Shen Tianzi's eyes.
Chen Leng can lead at most 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses, allowing him to command an army of 100,000 people. Just the deployment of troops and the distribution of materials can make him busy.
If there is no city wall and Chen Leng is allowed to lead an army of 50,000 in a field battle with the enemy, it will not take long for him to reveal his flaws...
