"Everything will follow your orders!" Zhang Meng and others had already established confidence in Duan Ye for a duel, and the power of the boulder artillery team was unquestionable, so they agreed in unison.
"But, sir, there is a problem with my humble position." Duan Ping has always been the person Duan Ye trusts the most, so he spoke frankly.
"But it doesn't matter." Duan Ye said with a smile.
"We have huge stone cannons, so it shouldn't be a problem to break the city. But, does breaking the city mean we have conquered the city?" Duan Ping asked sharply.
"This..." Duan Ye understood what he meant. In the era of cold weapons, it was difficult to deal with the tortoise shell of the city wall, but even if you tried your best to open the city wall, if the defenders had already lost all morale, everything would be over.
Otherwise, there is still a terrifying level, which is street fighting.
The biggest difference between street fighting and field fighting is that the battlefield is divided by countless buildings arranged according to certain rules. In ancient times, cities were divided by residential buildings and streets. Any tactical unit is in a relatively closed and narrow scene, which makes combat difficult.
The observation, tactical application and attack of both sides have brought great restrictions. However, since the city defenders are relatively familiar with the environment and are on the defensive, it is a big challenge for the attackers.
Therefore, whether it is the cold weapon age, the mechanization age or even the information age, all this has made street fighting the most complex and brutal type of fighting. Song Hao, who defends the city, has won the hearts of the people, and it is impossible for Jiuquan City to surrender.
, even if you are defeated, you are likely to resist until the last person.
But the trouble is that due to the limitations of the environment, street fighting requires greatly reduced combat capabilities. It is completely possible for all the people to be soldiers. At that time, unless the city is massacred, any resident may be a killer and any family may be a fortress.
.
Duan Ye and other officials came all the way here to use this place as their territory and to use the people in the city as their subjects to collect taxes from them. They did not want to drive them all out. This problem must also be solved.
After thinking about it, Duan Ye said: "Your question is very important. I must go to Jiexia and have a good talk."
Lu Guang's big account.
"...Now that there are huge stone cannons, it is not difficult to destroy the city, but it is difficult to appease the people. If Jiuquan's vitality is severely damaged and cannot be recovered for several years, what is the use of an empty city?" Duan Ye finished speaking, and then sat down with a serious expression.
Come down.
The atmosphere was not solemn, everyone was present. After Duan Ye expressed his concern, Lu Guang nodded repeatedly, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "What Shimin said is absolutely true. Now the matter is imminent. Everyone has talked about it."
, what should we do?”
Jiang Fei frowned and said: "After hearing what Mr. Duan said, I, Old Jiang, also feel that this is not a problem. These few times I went to the city to call for formation, we also saw clearly that it is impossible for the Jiuquan people to surrender.
Yes, everyone hates us so much that even if we enter the city, we won’t be able to stop. It’s really like what Lao Duan said. If we start a street fight, I’m afraid there will be many casualties among us.
It also has a great influence on other counties in the state."
Now Duan Ye is already a celebrity in front of Lu Guang, so everyone is very affectionate towards him. The generals are rough-tempered, and many of them just call him Lao Duan.
At this time, Du Jin, the most important person, took over the conversation and said: "This matter is very important, but there is a problem. As far as I know, in the past, Jiexia had a great reputation in Liangzhou, and even if we raised troops to the east, Liang
The people of the state are also very practical and cannot be so disgusted with us. There must be a mystery behind it."
Duan Ye's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately thought of a common tactic used by defenders of the city, which is to scaremonger!
This model has been tried and tested from ancient times to the present. Often when mobilizing before a war, the commander will move his subordinates and people with a look of compassion, while his supporters will vividly describe the invading enemy forces as murderous demons without blinking an eye.
Once they enter the city, they will burn everything, kill them all, and rob them all, and then they will find out some of the bad things they have done in the past. Finally, the coach said that he will not surrender until the end, and some of the accomplices will coax them, so the whole city has the same hatred and must fight.
At the end of the day, every soldier died, and because the resistance was too fierce, even if the attacking party won the final victory, it would be difficult for them to do nothing due to casualties and resentment, and many would directly massacre the city in revenge, so they "
The prophecy of "Wing Ming" came true.
To put it bluntly, this is a trap.
Although Duan Ye and Du Jin have no evidence, according to common sense, Lu Guang only raised his army in just over a month. Liangzhou belonged to the Zhang family ten years ago, and there could be no loyalty to Fu Jian. Now the only one who shares the same hatred in Jiuquan City is
The explanation is that the prefect Song Hao made false propaganda.
This kind of thing is not difficult to solve once you know the reason. Duan Ye smiled.
After Duan Ye finished speaking, Lu Guang and others also laughed.
This time, after dawn, Duan Ye personally went into battle and led his Jiuquan Army into battle in a grand manner. Of course, after all, the Jiuquan Army had just been reorganized. To be safe, Lu You was asked to bring 2,000 Qingqi to suppress the battle.
To avoid problems, Duan Ye feels a little funny every time he thinks about this. He and Lu You are obviously enemies, but there are so many opportunities for cooperation, and life is still very fantasy.
Everyone in the Jiuquan Army was gearing up to join the army. Although it didn't last long, Duan Ye treated them like no other. He personally paid them, which was fair enough, provided them with food and clothing, was considerate enough, trained strictly, and was fulfilling enough. The most important thing was
What's more, Duan Ye gave them hope!
As long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed one day!
The promotion of Hu Kai and others has proved this.
And today, we are going to the battlefield!
Soldiers should earn their own fame and wealth on the battlefield. The Jiuquan Army can't wait for a long time! And only by truly making military exploits and winning victory can an army, an army that once lost its soul, become a tiger and wolf army again.
Duan Ye didn't have time to train officers slowly and gradually like a military academy, so he could only use strong medicine and quick methods to build his own team.
Jiuquan City is the best introduction to medicine.
The armed parade in Jiuquan City the night before made the defenders at the head of Jiuquan City furious, but there was nothing they could do. The whole army was convinced by Duan Ye. Now, Duan Ye said, since it is called Jiuquan
Army, we must let our Jiuquan Army capture Jiuquan in order to deserve it. These words suddenly ignited the hearts of the entire army. No matter the generals, they all screamed that they wanted to go to war.
However, what was unexpected was that Duan Ye did not bring the boulder artillery team that had already been trained. Instead, he taught them another set of rhetoric. He also said that when going to Jiuquan today, it is better to shout and talk tomorrow.
, Guaranteed to win Jiuquan.
In a state of half-belief and doubt, the soldiers still faithfully memorized the words Duan Ye gave them, and ran to the foot of Jiuquan City with their swords and guns. But I am afraid they themselves could not believe what terrible things would happen under Jiuquan City!
