(I don’t have any time to worry about typing. The South China Sea arbitration is about to be announced. All kinds of news are pouring in. It’s not surprising that a war breaks out. We will resolutely defend the territorial integrity of our motherland. +◆
Even if a war does not break out, the confrontation between China and the United States has entered a substantial stage. Many years later, the world will once again form a Cold War situation, and various conflicts will break out. Even the Third World War is possible. Whatever we can gain and whatever we lose, we must
Be mentally prepared.
But as a Chinese, no matter what the outcome is, we must first live as a Chinese and never let the tragedy of the Japanese invasion happen again. We must and are already prepared to welcome the coming of war. Are Americans this prepared?)
On this day in mid-March, the battle of Jiexiu's attack and defense took a sudden turn after a series of changes.
The deafening shouts of death started that morning and never stopped.
Soldiers gathered like ants, and the city walls were densely covered with soldiers who climbed onto the city.
The city boarding car, which is as high as the city wall, slowly but firmly approaches like the city wall.
A large group of soldiers pushed the thick cart under the city gate and slammed it hard against the city gate.
Rows of archers, under the cover of shields, approached the city wall and started shooting against the city.
What's even more frightening is that the cannon was erected not far from the city wall, and the stone eggs stuck to the lit branches of dead grass, carrying thick smoke across the sky, and fell into Jiexiu City one after another.
However, the Tang soldiers on the city still tried their best to defend the city.
A support pole struggled to push down the ladder that went up to the top of the city.
Spears shot out one after another, knocking enemy soldiers off the city wall one by one.
A shower of arrows rose from the city wall and fell towards the city.
Buckets of hot oil were poured down, and the siege soldiers were always burned until their skin and flesh were broken. They let out shrill screams and rolled down the ladder like dumplings.
At this time, the siege battle truly unveiled its full veil, revealing its ferocious and ugly face.
Life and blood are the cheapest things here. No matter how brave and brave a person is, if he wants to survive, it depends on his luck.
Every moment, both sides are paying a heavy price.
But war is like this, testing people's fighting spirit and tenacity in the most cold and cruel way.
This is not a place where a moral gentleman should come, because this is a killing field that shows the ugliest side of human nature. No matter how you modify it, you cannot cover up the many filthy things in it.
This is what I mean when one general succeeds and all his bones wither.
There was a slight deviation from Li Po's expectation. Less than two hours after the all-out attack on the city, there was already thunderous cheers outside the east city.
Yuwen Huo and Yu Chikai were the first to open the door to victory for the army.
Yuchi and his general Zhao Shixun led the soldiers to the top of the city first. Zhao Shixun, wearing several wounds, still shouted for a fierce battle. He killed more than ten people at the top of the city and led the crowd to stand firm on the city wall. Then the soldiers who climbed up the city swarmed up and took down the city.
The Tang army retreated after being killed.
Once the gap at the top of the city was opened, no matter how many Tang troops there were, it would be of no avail.
Like a flock of sheep, the Youzhou soldiers, red-eyed after being killed, were unable to stand.
The Tang army guards who were crowded in one place were quickly cut into sections. If there were not too many of them, Jiang Baoyi under the city wall was desperately sending soldiers to the city wall to defend the city. Otherwise, just this one, and
The two states' armies can take down the city wall.
At this time, corpses were scattered on the city wall, and blood was spreading. The two soldiers were entangled on the city wall, killing each other. From time to time, someone screamed and fell to the ground, blood sprayed everywhere, and the remaining broken arms were flying randomly, completely killing each other.
The city head of Jiexiu East City has turned into meat grinding mode.
When Dongcheng fell slightly, Jiang Baoyi's inexperience was exposed. In addition to the governor who refused to retreat, the two lieutenant generals who hesitated even slightly under his strict orders were beheaded to the ground by him in a frenzy.
.
This is not killing someone to establish authority or supervising a battle, this is clearly the expression of fear and resentment.
He did not have enough prestige in the army. His pretense made the generals think that he was a kind-faced and soft-hearted person. However, when the battle came, he turned cold-blooded and frantic. When the generals saw it, they were shocked and unintentional.
Fight to the death for such a person.
Even at such a critical moment, every man in the army can't help but think, as a general, if you can personally lead the troops to the city to fight the enemy to the death, it will be no big deal for us to follow you and die on the city wall.
But you are like driving sheep and you just ask us to die, but why?
The morale of the Tang army was already low. If Jiang Baoyi could handle it well, he might be able to hold on for a while, but it would be a joke to say "if" during the war.
At this moment, the Tang army's will to resist the enemy collapsed.
This is what is said about the incompetence of one general and the exhaustion of the three armies.
Of course, at this time, the city was covered in smoke, and soldiers were running around coughing and shivering in the thick smoke. The riots were spreading rapidly. By the time the east city wall was breached, the chaos in the Tang army was gradually getting out of control.
Jiang Baoyi's mistakes didn't end there. In panic, he immediately sent people to the north of the city to ask for help from Li Zhongwen.
He didn't care about the morale of the army at this moment. He just wanted more soldiers to drive the enemy off the city wall.
Of course, in a small town like Jiexiu, it doesn't matter whether he makes mistakes or not.
Li Zhongwen already knew the news about the instability of Dongcheng at the first time. Then he looked at the city with smoke everywhere. At this time, if Li Zhongwen didn't know the fact that the city was no longer defensible, he didn't have to.
Leading the troops.
He was different from the loyal Jiang Baoyi. He immediately summoned a few confidants, secretly ordered them to prepare their horses, and ordered his generals to guard the North City. In the name of leading the army to aid the East City, he escaped to the West City, opened the city gate, and escaped.
outside the city.
At this time, the Tang army's morale was shaken and the city was about to be destroyed.
The east city is crumbling, but the north city is relatively stable.
But the siege army under the North City did not agree. Yuwen Huo, Yu Chi and his two men were about to break through the East City, and Chen Yuan and others were in great panic.
In a hurry, Chen Yuan ignored everyone's dissuasion, led the big ax to the front of the formation, and summoned five hundred soldiers to attack the city with him.
After Li Po got the news, he couldn't help being furious. It's a good thing for generals to compete for credit, but you, Chen Yuan, as the commander of the army, went into battle personally. Where did you put the army?
But this time, Chen Yuan showed Li Po what it means to be a fierce general.
When the flag was moved forward, all the siege troops roared with joy, and the offensive seemed to suddenly become fierce.
(I am definitely not satisfied with the writing of this chapter, but I will just write it here today and wait for the news. The updates from the authors today will not be very powerful, and the subscription seems to be a lot worse. This is war. It has not been fought yet, as if
I won’t be able to eat anymore.)
