In the original history, the city should take the initiative to contact the officials and troops outside the city with arrow letters, but after the uprising, they did not receive any response from the officials and troops, and were eventually killed by the rebels.
The main reason may be that the officers and soldiers were caught off guard when the incident happened in a hurry, or it may be that the officers and soldiers have doubts and are afraid of being fooled, or it may be that the generals outside the city lost their fighting spirit and failed.
Lin Tailai personally supervised the formation and asked Li Rusong to be prepared as well, just to avoid the above situation happening again.
Moreover, projecting documents into the city is equivalent to changing from passive to active.
It is better to take the initiative to guide those people in the city who want to act as internal responders after being prepared, rather than hastily dealing with the situation when it comes.
After arriving at the Western Camp and throwing a large number of arrows into the city, Lin Tailai ordered the entire camp to prepare for an attack.
Although Li Yu, the chief military officer of the Western Camp, psychologically surrendered to Supervisor Lin, his combat attitude was still a bit negative. The previous siege of the city was like clocking in to work.
Anyway, I can’t be a general, so I’ll either work for Ma Gui or Li Rusong, it doesn’t make any difference!
Lin Tailai did not criticize Li Yu, but only sent an order for his followers to bring in the newly made household items.
Immediately, the guardian brothers appeared with a few servants and a large box.
The box was opened in front of Li Yu. Inside was a pair of shiny new iron armor, as well as an iron helmet with armor face, arm armor, etc.
"What do you think of this armor?" Lin Tailai said to Li Yu.
Li Yan stared at the armor in the box for a few times, and then praised it from the bottom of his heart: "What a great armor!"
This is a set of full-body armor, the craftsmanship of which is visible to the naked eye. The connected armor pieces are shaped like pieces of plum blossoms, which is both practical and gorgeous.
As a general, he has an instinctive yearning for the best weapons and armor.
So after taking a few glances at the armor in the box, Li Yan really fell in love with it and began to fantasize about wearing it in battle to show off.
Just then I heard Supervisor Lin say: "If you like it, you can try it on."
So Li Yan directly touched the thickness of the armor piece with his hand, and his expression changed slightly.
Then he picked it up casually with both hands, and his expression changed again!
"How much does this armor weigh?" Li Xi turned to Lin Tailai and asked.
Lin Tailai said calmly: "Eighty pounds."
Li Yan's face fell, and he said distressedly: "Thank you very much for the gift, but I can't wear eighty kilograms of armor, so I can only display it as a handicraft."
Nowadays, the average standard heavy armor only weighs more than 40 kilograms, and I really can't carry 80 kilograms of heavy armor.
Lin Tailai said in surprise: "What are you thinking about? Who said it was given to you?
This armor was made for my own use by the supervisor, I just want you to see it and try it on at most."
Li Yan: "."
Damn it! Supervisor Lin is not a human being. He is really a human being!
Since this armor was not given to me, why should I appreciate it carefully?
Besides, you are a military supervisor, and you don’t have to charge into battle yourself. Wearing such gorgeous heavy armor is simply a waste of resources!
Lin Tailai picked up the helmet and put it on, with most of his face covered by the armor.
Then he opened his hands and said to his left and right: "Wear armor for me!"
Li Yan really wanted to complain, "You can wear eighty pounds of heavy armor and move around. Supervisor Lin, you, a civil servant, are more powerful than a powerful general."
But before the words were spoken, Li Yan suddenly thought of something again and was shocked.
Then he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why is Supervisor Lin wearing armor?"
Lin Tailai replied calmly: "If there is really an internal response in the city, we have agreed that after the city is attacked, I will take the lead and ascend in person!
Wearing armor is just for early preparation. If a fighter plane appears, attack immediately!"
Li Yan's legs went weak, and he almost wanted to kneel on the ground and hug Lin Tailai's thigh, hugging him physically.
How dare you ask Lin Tailai to attack the city? If something goes wrong, you won't be able to save him!
If Jiuyuan Xiangrui is lost in the siege for no reason, all the generals in Xiying will not be able to escape the emperor's wrath!
During the previous counterattack with Lin Supervisor, during the two major victories, Lin Supervisor did not like to charge into battle like a personal hero.
Why are you having a convulsion today and thinking about trying to climb the city?
"Absolutely not!" Li Yu shouted, "The soldiers will be brave enough to attack the city, and the supervisory army will take command from behind!"
At this time, Lin Tailai put on his arm armor and said with a confident smile: "General Li, you can rest assured that our supervisor and servants are best at urban and street fighting!
I have fought hundreds of battles over the past few years and am invincible! Now, I am the only one who can conquer the city and defeat the enemy!"
Li Xuan wanted to ask, Ma Gui and Li Rusong organized an attack on the city for more than twenty days, but they didn't see you personally going into battle.
He tried to persuade him for a long time, but still could not persuade Supervisor Lin.
Originally, Li Yan thought that he already knew Supervisor Lin very well, but today he discovered that Supervisor Lin is still a mysterious figure.
He really couldn't understand why Supervisor Lin was so reckless all of a sudden.
After the arrow book was projected into the city today, there has been no movement in the city.
However, Supervisor Lin's army never removed its armor and remained alert.
It wasn't until the next day, near dusk, that an arrow was suddenly shot from the top of the city.
The officers and soldiers who had been monitoring the movement picked up the arrow book and quickly presented it to Supervisor Lin.
After reading the content, Lin Tailai told Li Yu: "The commander Zhao Chengxian in the city, Yao Qin and others from hundreds of households have agreed to set fire to the signal tonight, and attack the west gate together from inside and outside!"
At this moment, Lin Tailai knew that half of his plan had been completed!
Sure enough, there is someone in the city who wants to act as an internal agent, and it turns out that they have agreed to be here at the west gate! It’s impossible not to take advantage of this great achievement!
Li Yan was most worried about the safety of Supervisor Lin, and he advised again:
"I'm afraid there's some deceit involved, luring our troops into the city and ambushing them. You can send other soldiers to test it. Why should the supervisor take the risk himself?"
Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "This opportunity only comes once! If I don't get it, who else will be brave enough?"
If I go into battle in person, who else would dare not to be brave?"
This is indeed the truth. If Lin Tailai takes the lead and rushes forward, if Lin Tailai is trapped because of his subsequent inactivity, I am afraid that all the generals will be unlucky.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Li Yu could only organize an elite death squad with great concern.
Lin Tailai closed his eyes to rest and take a final rest.
What Li Yu was worried about was not wrong. There was indeed the possibility of the enemy's deception.
But as long as Lin Tailai is allowed to climb the city, does it make any difference whether he is cheating or not?
The most difficult thing for the first to conquer is to defend the city head position with the few against the many, but this was his daily life for Lin Tai.
He, Lin Tailai, did cherish his life, but when the risks were controllable, he still dared to take the gamble.
In a field battle, let him charge into thousands of people, and he will not take this risk.
But in a relatively narrow environment like the city head, if one is worth ten or a hundred, you can give it a try.
There is also an urge in my heart, the urge for a man to go into battle to kill the enemy and show off his bravery.
Over thousands of years, no matter how war technology evolves and adjusts, as long as there is siege warfare, "the first to conquer first" is the iron rule.
The person who climbs and holds the city head first will definitely be regarded as the strongest person in the army.
Although he, Lin Tailai, is already an old man in officialdom, he has not yet reached the age of seventy or eighty.
As a martial arts champion, my hands feel itchy after watching it for so many days. If I don’t fight, I won’t have the chance to do it myself.
After dark, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the cover of night to quietly leave the camp and wait outside the city.
At the second watch of the day, suddenly there were fires on the towers in the northwest and southwest, which were very eye-catching in the night sky.
Here it comes! Lin Tailai put on his helmet and stood up.
Not long after, another scout came to report that someone was holding a torch and shaking it on the city wall not far from the west gate.
In order to save as much energy as possible, Lin Tailai got on his horse and walked the last section of the road.
After many sieges, the officers and soldiers were already familiar with the nearby terrain. Although they were working in the dark, they quickly set up ladders.
There was no resistance on this section of the city wall. This section of the defense line probably belonged to the group of internal officers and soldiers who were responsible for guarding it.
When no one was causing trouble, Lin Tailai, who was wearing eighty kilograms of heavy armor, climbed up steadily and stood on the top of the city.
Under normal circumstances, the first person to board the city must be the strongest person in the army and must be covered in heavy armor.
But when those rebel leaders saw Lin Tailai's figure, they were secretly surprised.
They seemed to see a giant bear covered in iron armor appearing at the top of the city. Even its face was covered with a mask. It was like a human-shaped fortress.
Lin Tailai didn't say hello, he just drew his weapon and vigilantly moved forward a few steps to expand the defensive area.
Behind Lin Tailai, others climbed to the top of the city and formed an array skillfully holding shields.
The weapon in Lin Tailai's hand was also replaced by a long weapon, an iron spear nine feet long.
Although it is said that an inch is stronger than an inch long, in a close-range melee in a narrow environment, a nine-foot iron gun is more effective than a large wooden gun measuring several feet, and the all-iron gun shaft can also be used as an iron rod.
After initially establishing a position at the top of the city, Lin Tailai asked the group of rebels: "Who are you?"
A military attache replied: "I am Yao Qin from a hundred households who was kidnapped by thieves."
Lin Tailai nodded, and replied concisely and concisely: "I am an Attendant of the Hanlin Academy, Counselor of the Shaanxi Rebellion Military Affairs, and Military Supervisor Lin Tailai."
There are too many official positions. In order to save time at this time, I can only apply briefly.
Yao Baihu: "."
Is this Hanlin? Is this the Supervisory Army? Be the first to board the city in person?
Does your self-reported identity match your image and behavior?
He expected that a military commander might come to the city, but he didn't expect that it would be such a big guy.
Lin Tailai, whose expression was hidden by his mask, shouted impatiently: "Why are you so stunned at this time?
Report the current situation quickly! Where is the other Zhao Chengxian?"
Yao Baihu was still shocked and subconsciously replied: "After Commander Zhao set fire to the southwest tower, he led his men to attack the west gate first."
At this moment, the movement on the city wall here was finally discovered.
In the first wave, hundreds of rebels rushed over from the horse road, trying to retake this section of the city and completely clear out the government troops who had boarded the city.
The real test came. Lin Tailai took a deep breath and yelled:
"Guard the city, kill the traitors, and then support Ximen!"
In daily group fights, I just hold back and fight, but today I can finally let go and fight happily!
