"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape.△
The situation on the battlefield is complex and changing rapidly. Although there are certain ways to deal with it, they are only general rules. It is actually extremely difficult to flexibly apply the rules to details. Low-level generals often only know how to form an array.
When the infantry meets the cavalry, they use dense spearmen and archers to shoot arrows and raise their shields. A mid-level general can understand why these things are done in this way, understand most of the changes, and understand why such changes occur.
This person can know under what circumstances, infantry can confront cavalry, and how to use spearmen to fight against dense bows and arrows...
Just like the growth of people, when they were young, people always pursued certain principles in the world, thinking that if they understood a truth or a meaningful sentence, their life would be able to find the direction. But in fact, the growth of people
But it does not appear in this pattern. You can find countless sentences that seem to make sense, and even every sentence has an equally meaningful sentence with the opposite meaning.
Then people began to see what kind of past they had experienced when others said this sentence, and what kind of environment they existed in. When people were finally able to empathize with them and understand why their predecessors said this sentence.
, wisdom can truly be passed down. When the learner can finally understand the core of many people's thinking, and can compare and draw inferences from one example, he may have just acquired the ability to think independently, and after reading a few books, he can only
The situation of showing off with famous quotes...
The truth is this.
In most cases, stereotypes still have power. Especially in the battlefields of these years, the strength and morale of the two warring parties are often very different. The situation on many battlefields is basically just crushing. If there is more restraint by the arms, the two sides will be more restrained.
This is usually a good situation.
Most things in the world are mediocre. Just like in later generations, there are many people in the world who only know how to memorize famous quotes and aphorisms and chicken soup for the soul. They even don’t know how to memorize famous aphorisms and chicken soup for the soul. They can still live and even feel that they are living a good life. But
On top of this, only those who work ten times harder with direction, purpose and discrimination. Only those who absorb and refer to the wisdom of others and finally form their own logical system can cope with all novel situations, and to be honest, those who can truly stand up
People at the top of society, except for the second generation, must have a complete self-logic system, without exception.
In the original Battle of Chaobai River, all that was needed was proficiency in the art of war. But this time in the Battle of Xiacun, in a sense, what was tested was wisdom.
After being blocked by rows of elm cannons, harvested by bows and arrows, and crushed by heavy cavalry, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were able to organize long-distance attacks in turns, which shows that their general skills are still there. But that's it. If they just fight like this
Go down. Their 10,000 people are simply not enough to spend in Xia Village. Especially under the threat of artillery fire and heavy cavalry. This is a tough battle fought when the personnel are inferior and the fighting spirit may not be full. Once a head-on encounter, I am afraid it will
They're all buried here.
It was Yaoshi Guo who came too quickly to change the situation. On the third day of December, his sudden attack truly demonstrated the opponent's quality as a famous general. In a short period of time, he recognized the limitations of firearms and used rockets to
As a suppression, the charging soldiers were then allowed to distance themselves from each other, and after reaching the wooden wall, they launched a strong attack. If the first round failed, they immediately retreated. In a short period of time, the Xia Cun side was really left in a state of confusion and confusion.
But no one’s war wisdom is designed to deal with things outside common sense. When the defenders of Xia Cun made adjustments to the placement and firing of the elm cannon, the firing of the artillery, especially when the resentful army was in a siege state,
Shooting, the violent sound and light effects will still have a great impact on the opponent's fighting spirit. Several strong attacks under the command of Guo Yaoshi, even if suppressed by rockets, were still fired at the right time by the Xia Cun Elm Cannon.
Break it up abruptly.
He then changed his strategy and began to make a large-scale single-point breakthrough on the east wall. The direction he chose was the section where eight hundred people had been killed.
In order to induce the attacking army to choose this as a breakthrough point, the defense around this section of the camp wall was slightly weak. However, with the assembly of 30,000 troops, Guo Yaoshi no longer had to consider the threat of more than a hundred heavy cavalry, and this became a real
The breakthrough point.
On the afternoon of the fourth day of December, a large number of soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army literally stepped on the heads and corpses of their companions and began to attack. The surrounding camp walls also began to be attacked by rounds of rockets. The defenders of Xia Cun also responded with bows and arrows.
Color, in the evening when the attack was most intense, the side door on the upper part of the camp wall suddenly opened, and more than a hundred heavy cavalry lined up in order. A moment later, more than twenty elm cannons were fired simultaneously on the south side of the camp wall, and a large number of bows and arrows cooperated, attacking
The attacking army made a counterattack, but the heavy cavalry only made a feint, and then closed the door and went back soon.
Since then, the two sides have been fighting for wits and courage. The combat power of the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army is indeed higher than that of the Xia Cun defenders, and they number as many as 36,000. This is a huge advantage, but relatively speaking, the art of war is
In terms of changes, influenced by the influence from the north, the strengths of Guo Yaoshi's tactics are mainly solid rather than changeable.
On the Xiacun side, due to the flourishing literary style of the Wu Dynasty, all kinds of military books were rampant in war. These military books are often not useless. Once you understand them, you can always integrate the thinking system of some wise men. Although Qin Shaoqian is rough, but in reality
He was born as a Confucian general. He was influenced by his father and was familiar with a large number of military books. He did not adhere to conventional tactics. However, any flexible tactics in the past were nonsense if his soldiers could not use them. This time in Xia Village,
The situation is quite different.
A large number of usable soldiers have replaced the once bloated Wurui battalion system, with solid defensive arrangements and flexible support from elm cannons. Even though the strength of an individual soldier is slightly inferior to that of the soldiers of the resentful army, he is still the first on this battlefield.
Using what he had learned all his life, counterattacks, support, prediction of battlefield conditions, and use of strategies made Xia Cun's defense like an indestructible iron prison. When Guo Yaoshi pounced, he was indeed
His teeth were knocked out due to severe injuries.
He was in the same mood as Guo Yaoshi in the battle against Zong Wang at the Chaobai River. He was able to let go of his hands and feet in the battle formation and have a happy battle with this world's heroes, especially since he had been restrained in the past and had never been loosened.
After the battle, Qin Shaoqian felt unspeakably happy. However, in such a battle situation, great pressure was also accumulating in the hearts of both sides.
The situation in the capital is in critical condition. As the battle in Bianliang continues, the Battle of Xiacun comes unexpectedly to many people. But it is bound to have a huge impact on the situation in the capital. And this battle has been tragic from the beginning.
, if it were to end, it would never end with one side fighting to the last soldier.
After all, Yaoshi Guo was a reduced general, and the strength of the Resentment Army was his foundation. He acted decisively and went all out for Xia Cun's attack. This is the way to be a general, but there must be a psychological expectation of losing battles.
What he can't bear. For Qin Shaoqian, Ning Yi and others, what they are waiting for is such a psychological expectation. On this battlefield, once Guo Yaoshi's troops are broken, Zong Wang, no matter how strong he is, may have to withdraw his troops and sue for peace.
.
On Guo Yaoshi's side, the defenders of Xia Cun were stronger than many troops of the Wu Dynasty, but after all, they were only the troops of the Wu Dynasty. This army would also have a psychological expectation of battle losses. Once the war was really brutal,
Once it crosses the line, the army will definitely collapse. And once it collapses and chaos begins, what Xia Cun will face will be massacre and crushing.
Both sides are almost waiting for the other side's breaking point to appear.
But this time, both sides seemed to be tenacious beyond imagination.
On the fifth day of December, the first elm cannon exploded when fired on the battlefield. Guo Yaoshi launched a larger-scale attack in turn. He had sufficient troops and could use more consumption to squeeze out the elm cannon.
The firing limit of the cannon. Due to a sudden accident, Xia Cun's side had to reduce the use of elm cannon. For a time, the war began to tilt towards the resentful army.
On the sixth day of December, the resentful army broke into the camp wall for the first time. Yue Fei led his elite to join the battle. At the same time, he dismounted more than a hundred heavy cavalry, and used the advantage of iron armor to massacre the Jurchen soldiers who broke into the camp defense.
On the seventh day of December, Ning Yi and others had already begun running on the battlefield...
At this time, Xiacun's defense system was basically divided into five sections. According to the practice of the Wu Dynasty, they were A, B, B, D, and the main entrance in the middle section. Liu Chengzong had more than 2,000 people under the command of Liu Chengzong in the A section of the camp wall, and the guard of the B section of the camp wall was named Pang Liu'an.
Three thousand five hundred people, Mao Yishan and his superior Xu Lingming, are also on this section of the camp wall. In the middle section, Li Yi leads two thousand people. In addition, He Zhicheng leads three thousand people, and Sun Ye leads two thousand people, respectively.
Bing Ding 2.
The battle casualty rate among these thirteen thousand people had reached 20% to 30% by the eighth day of December. In particular, the east wall where He Zhicheng was in charge was under heavy attack. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, many people were killed or seriously injured and withdrew from the battle.
People may have broken through one-third, which is why Ning Yi complained after the camp wall was broken through. At this time, the reserve team and the new force were basically put in. On the southeast side, the rest
Almost all the effective forces that we can squeeze out have gathered here.
There are also some things that cannot be estimated accurately, but Ning Yi and others are somewhat guessing. The casualties of the resentful army have reached nearly 20% at this time, with more than 6,000 people dead or seriously injured. At this time,
, can no longer participate in the battle. It is conceivable that Guo Yaoshi's heartache is, but it is still unclear how much price he is willing to pay for this victory.
"What other tricks can I use..."
Looking at the fierce battle at the breach of the camp wall in the distance at the edge of the battlefield, Medical Master Guo almost subconsciously uttered these words. In the battle circle inside the camp wall, Ning Yi listened to the earth-shattering shouts of killing and looked into the distance.
A figure on the watchtower finally gritted his teeth and said, "That's it." He took out the fireworks arrow from his arms.
At this time, Hong Ti had already moved forward. An arrow passed through the crowd and shot toward Ning Yi. Then a figure came over and hit Ning Yi's side...
There was a whooshing sound. In the distance, Pharmacist Guo, Zhang Linghui and others watched a beam of light rising into the sky. Their scalps felt numb. Zhang Linghui immediately said: "Let them withdraw!"
Pharmacist Guo waved his hand fiercely: "The archers are pressing forward! The cavalry are pressing forward! Attack and support -"
He did not issue an order to evacuate, but of course, such a reaction was too late after all. Just outside the breach in the camp wall, a vibration suddenly came from the underground. Heat waves and light rolled through the ground, as if the soil was boiling - that was
A land area that was more than ten feet wide and several feet long was already crowded with people rushing in.
The explosion threw blood, soil and body parts into the sky, forming a shrill curtain like a barrier. The iron caltrops and the minced meat flew in all directions. This was the effect of a simultaneous explosion of mine arrays arranged in three rows outside the breach.
, they have been quietly buried underground for several days. Ning Yi and others were worried that their leads might fail, but fortunately, the research on firearms during this period was finally fruitful.
This sudden explosion caused twenty or thirty casualties on the battlefield. But most importantly, it blocked the retreat of the attackers who entered the defensive circle. When the huge explosion sounded, they rushed into the breach in the camp wall.
When the nearly two hundred soldiers looked back, the mud and blood lifted up were like a high curtain, cutting off the connection between them and their companions.
Even though it may only be for a moment, the psychological pressure caused is enough.
Pharmacist Guo watched all this from a distance, his face trembling, while Zhang Linghui was stunned.
"Kill them..." In the camp wall, Ning Yi was half-covered in blood, with a ferocious face. He was supporting a soldier who was also half-covered in blood, and was shouting with a knife: "Kill them, kill them, kill them -
"
Under the sky, the light of swords and waves of blood rushed over...
***************
It was almost evening in Bianliang City. On this afternoon, due to the wrong timing of an attack, the Jurchens did not launch another attack after being blocked. For the defenders of Bianliang, this was the only way to clean up the battlefield.
It's time.
Several regular defenders were still defending on the city wall, and some soldiers who had been warned walked up to the city wall and carried the corpses. Occasionally, someone spoke or shouted loudly. In addition, the screams were the mainstream at the top of the city. These sounds were all
It comes from the injured, and not everyone can bear the pain.
When you cry, you can hide in a place where no one is around.
The Huotou Battalion in charge of logistics brought porridge, rice and steamed buns early. Some were sent to the city wall, and some were distributed at fixed places. The carts carrying corpses were parked at the edge of the city wall, one by one. Try to be careful.
Land comes and goes.
It is not very far from the city wall. On one side of the wounded barracks, a platform has been set up and torches are lit. Many soldiers have gathered here. There are many wounded soldiers, and there are also tired-looking people holding steamed buns, porridge and rice.
, and found a place to sit nearby.
Although it was wartime, many things were controlled near the city wall, but the situation here was a little looser, probably with the approval of the military officials. As an ordinary person, if you could really walk in here, what you would see
Most of them looked chaotic and noisy. At this time, several figures came towards this direction. Since they were wearing the uniforms of military generals' personal guards and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, no one stopped them.
The leader walked steadily, had a resolute face, and was quite majestic. As he walked, he looked at the surrounding situation, occasionally nodded, or whispered a few words to the people accompanying him.
If there were any senior military officials here who recognized his identity, their first reaction might be to kneel down.
"Du Chengxi, I understand your worries, but let's accept your thoughts. In the past few days, the Jurchens have been attacking the city until dark. I...I came here after thinking about it carefully. I just came to take a look.
Look, those wounded soldiers... I don't want to spread the word, just take a look and have an idea, that's all."
At this time, it was Emperor Jinghan Zhou Zhe who came quietly in disguise. Judging from his grasp of power and determination, Du Chengxi could not be stopped. In a sense, come and see this battlefield
, unwilling to publicize, in Zhou Zhe's heart, it is precisely to remember the figures of these heroes and patriots. Although he is usually pampered, but now he smells the smell of blood and even sees various bloody scenes, it is not
I don't feel any discomfort, at most I frown occasionally.
As a person standing at the top, his mood is indeed not intimidated by a little bit of blood. Even if it is the first time to see such a serious scene, this is still the quality of an emperor.
"But... what is the purpose of setting up a stage next to the wounded barracks? Is it to perform a big show?"
"I wonder if it is an adult who wants to speak, but it doesn't seem like..." Du Chengxi looked at it and said, "I will go and ask."
Du Chengxi trotted forward, while Zhou Zhe walked straight towards the crowd over there. At this time, the crowd was still noisy. After a while, Du Chengxi ran back and found Zhou Zhe and others in the crowd.
"Long... Mr. Long, it's the girls from Fanlou who want to perform for them to reward them for their hard work. It seems that there are Miss Shishi and the others among them..."
"Performance? What a child's play." Zhou Zhe frowned and said in a low voice, "The soldiers are in danger and the war is dangerous, so we find prostitutes to perform by the city wall? Who decided this..."
He never thought that he would see such a thing when he came here. At this moment, someone was beating a gong on the stage, and the surrounding area became quiet almost instantly. Someone shouted: "Stop making noise! Stop making noise!"
Miss Shishi is here!"
"Would you like to let Miss Shishi take a break..."
"Stop arguing-"
With such a voice, the surroundings finally quieted down. Zhou Zhe put his hands on his back and frowned again: "Let Miss Shishi rest for a while, she is waiting for the guests..." Since the table was simple, it was also easy for people to get up. Zhou Zhe saw someone walking up.
She was a woman with an ordinary appearance and plain clothes. She seemed to have just finished something. Her hair was a little messy and her clothes were plain. She seemed to have just changed into them a while ago. She was holding a guzheng. The woman put the guzheng down and bowed.
"Brothers, hello, everyone, I am Master Li. I came here just after I finished my work. I may be a little lackluster. Please bear with me. I have already washed my face." The woman smiled, and everyone also laughed... The voice was pretty good,
It's just that most women in Fanlou would not greet others with such words.
Zhou Zhe walked forward. He was dressed in an officer's uniform, but others did not dare to stop him. He heard the woman say: "Actually, I don't know what you want to see. I wanted to do somersaults, but I didn't have the strength anymore. Well,
I won’t talk nonsense anymore, let me play the piano for everyone first.”
"It's obviously a zheng." Zhou Zhe said in a low voice, "However, the sound of the zheng is so loud that it fits the atmosphere of the battlefield. I'd like to hear what she has to say...it's really a farce."
The woman sat down on the wooden platform. She first turned her head and looked aside, then breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her fingers.
When the first sound sounded, Zhou Zhe raised his head slightly and pursed his lips.
