Chapter 103 Battle in the River (2)

The method Guo Hao mentioned was not the strategy he discussed with Guo Wei, otherwise he would not have said it in front of everyone.

When it comes to the battle of siege, there were some classic battles in later generations, but not many people broke the city, but many people succeeded in defending the city, and they all won the most with less.

It can be seen that it was really difficult to siege in ancient times, especially when there was no gunpowder. At this time, the city walls were mostly tamped with earth and then poured with glutinous rice juice, which was no worse than that of stones.

In addition to the first method mentioned by Guo Hao, there are two other methods, one is to cooperate inside and outside to quickly break the city, and the other is to attack the heart, and the other is to attack the heart without attacking.

Guo Hao and Guo Wei thought of going together. They all knew that Li Shouzhen had made sufficient preparations. At this time, the siege of the city would definitely not be able to get it, and there was no need to fight him head-on.

Guo Hao's method is: to surround three and one missing one, then expose a flaw to lead the snake out of the hole, then pretend to be defeated, and slowly consume the opponent's strength.

At the same time, he also had to destroy the other party's spirit. Unfortunately, he couldn't play the piano, and the soldiers in the city were not Chu people, so he could only change his method.

In the big tent, Guo Wei was sitting in the main seat, and Guo Hao stood in the first position on the left. Except for him not wearing armor, the rest were all generals who led the troops. After some discussion, Guo Wei had already made an idea.

"Three rebellions, Lian Heng, Li Shouzhen was the main force, and the river was in the main conflict of water and land. If the river was attacked and destroyed, the two towns of Yongxing and Fengxiang would be easily broken.

Therefore, the general decided to gather heavy troops to attack Hezhong, and the remaining troops attacked Fengxiang and Yongxing.

He passed my order, Zhao Hui went out of Xianyang to attack Fengxiang; Guo Congyi attacked Yongxing, Bai Wenke and others led their troops out of Tongzhou, and Chang Si led his troops out of Tongguan, and attacked Hezhong with three troops!"

"yes!"

After the order was issued, the generals took the order and left.

The army arrived in Shanzhou on the sixth day of the first lunar month. On the 23rd, Bai Wenke conquered the city of Xiguan in Hezhong. Guo Wei and Chang Si arrived in the east and south of the city.

During these ten days, Guo Hao was not idle either. He had been studying the method of breaking the city, intending to break the city at the lowest cost. This was a consensus with Guo Wei.

After arriving at Hezhong City, the Zhaying encircled and the generals were eager to attack the city. He just brought some people and rode around Hezhong City with light clothes and rode around him for a few times.

Upgrade the tent again and issue the next order.

"I passed my order to recruit the people of the surrounding prefectures and counties. Chang Si led his troops to build a village two miles south of the city. During this period, he built small fortresses, which were continuously used to cover the advance of the troops.

Bai Wenke led his troops to the south of the city, and the commander-in-chief personally sat in the east of the city. The arrangements on both sides were the same as those on the south of the city, leaving a vacant vacant in the north of the city, and no personnel were set up!"

After Guo Wei finished speaking, no one except Guo Hao understood.

Bai Wenke stood up and said, "What is the intention of the commander? Since we are going to recruit the people around us, why should we take down Hezhong City with our momentum!"

After Bai Wenke said that, the other generals nodded. They used their own troops before, so naturally they didn't want too many casualties, but the people recruited were different, and they would die if they died.

Guo Wei was unmoved when he heard this and always thought, "General, our army is now besieging Hezhong. What are we building a village for better siege? We don't have to do this at all.

Hezhongcheng and Li Shouzhen have long been in the jar. They just need to continue to attack the city. Even if they cannot be broken, they will sooner or later use up the manpower, food and food in the city.

In addition, our momentum is in full swing. If we don’t attack at this time, our momentum will inevitably decline. Isn’t this a missed opportunity?"

After the two expressed their opinions, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to speak, but saw Guo Hao shook his head at him. Zhao Kuangyin then wanted to speak but stopped and stood at the end without moving.

Seeing that Guo Wei was not speaking, Bai Wenke was a little anxious: "We have been fighting for so long and finally waited for reinforcements. Our advantage is so great, so why do we have to go through a lot of trouble and start the cement bricklayer's thing first?

This is completely meaningless. It will only make your soldiers tired and allow the enemy to win a rare opportunity to breathe. As a result, it will increase the difficulty of winning. Please think twice!”

In the face of doubts, Guo Wei never said anything, while Guo Hao looked at the nose, the nose, and the mouth, looking at his heart, and the heart, as if he was not my business.

Chang Si saw Guo Hao not talking and thought that this bad idea was made by him, so he stood up and said, "Supervisor, the inferior plan, was this kid telling you that this kid has not grown all the hair, don't bewitched by him!"

After Chang Si finished speaking, the others also reacted and looked at Guo Hao. Guo Hao almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, which was a true shot.

Guo Hao looked up at Guo Wei when he faced everyone's gaze. Guo Wei was still unmoved. Guo Hao knew that he didn't want to speak, so he dared not say anything, so he pretended that they did not exist.

As a result, he didn't speak. Everyone thought he was afraid of him, so they didn't dare to admit it, while Guo Wei was afraid of losing face, so he didn't want to admit it, so they all held a grudge against Guo Hao.

The order had been issued, but the commander had no intention of changing, so everyone could only take the order and leave. As soon as the order was issued, the entire army was in an uproar.

Guo Hao is usually in Guo Wei's tent, and no one dares to cause trouble for him, but he always comes out, and he has to go to bed at night.

As a result, that night, Bai Wenke stopped Guo Hao and grabbed Guo Hao's collar.

"Is it a bad idea that you kid came up with? I heard your method before, but I still thought you were not so ignorant. Now I bewitched the generals and build a broken village. What is your intention?"

Bai Wenke is a veteran in the army. He is already seventy years old this year and has been in the military for a lifetime. Guo Hao still admires such people very much.

"Elder General, you misunderstood me. I have just entered the army and have not made any achievements. Even though I have not been a military advisor, you don't believe me. How could the commander listen to me?

To be honest, I actually advocate the method of siegeing the city by piled up soil. Although the speed is a little slower, it is relatively safe.

Moreover, in the process of piled up soil, the enemy will inevitably stop us, and we can take the opportunity to consume the enemy's strength and put them under great pressure.

But the Supervisor did not adopt my method, so I had no choice but to follow the Supervisor's wishes and see if I could help the army break the city."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Bai Wenke saw that his eyes were clear, not like he was lying, so he let go of him and said, "You really said that!"

"It's true!"

"Since you have proposed a feasible method, why didn't you say a word at today's meeting?"

Guo Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Elder General, have you not seen the look of the commander-in-chief? You don't dare to speak anymore. How dare I speak!"

Bai Wenke snorted coldly when he heard this: "Clever words are sarcastic, flattering villains!"

After saying that, he left, leaving only an innocent look on his face. Guo Hao turned around and entered the tent, but was startled because there were two people sitting in his tent.

"Brother, you are back. General Bai didn't make things difficult for you, I just said you can do it."

Guo Hao was speechless and looked at the two of them. One was Zhao Kuangyin, and the other he didn't know him. He looked very young and was in his early twenties.

"Wang Shenqi has met the military advisor!"

When Wang Shenqi gave this gift, Guo Hao was flattered and quickly replied: "I dare not, don't you dare, brother, is your friend?"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said, "Yes, Brother Wang is my friend, just like me, he is the Captain Renyong."

When Guo Hao heard that he was Zhao Kuangyin's friend, he felt aroused. Those who understand the history of the Song Dynasty should know that Zhao Kuangyin was able to successfully establish a country, and the support of a group of people was indispensable.

And this group of people also has another name: the Ten Brothers of Yishe.

Guo Hao, the specific member of the Ten Brothers, doesn’t remember, but Lao Zhao’s friends are all military generals, and not necessarily any of them will be the founding heroes of the future. Wang Shenqi may be one of them.

"Oh, why are you going to my tent if you don't sleep at night?"

Zhao Kuangyin heard this and said, "It's not the order given by the commander Bai Tian. We really can't figure it out, so we thought of coming and asking the elder brother!"

Seeing the two seeking knowledge, Guo Hao said, "I do know what the governor wants to do, but I can't tell you!"

“…”

When the two looked at each other when they heard this, Wang Shenqi was a little unhappy. He was so polite to Guo Hao because of Zhao Kuangyin's face. In fact, like other generals, he looked down on him as a military advisor at all.

"snort!"

Wang Shenqi snorted coldly and walked out of Guo Hao's tent. Guo Hao was not angry when he saw it. He dragged his coat off and prepared to go to bed.

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to pursue Wang Shenqi. After Zhao Kuangyin left, Guo Hao stopped the movements in his hand, turned around and looked, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
