Zhao Bohai is eight feet tall, has extraordinary physical strength, and is a chivalrous man. He was born in the army, has led troops and fought in battles. He has made outstanding achievements in the battle and is one of the few generals among the rebels.

Soldiers are the most deadly weapons. In the novel, the siege of a city is made so easy. The actual situation is that even if there is only a low earth city surrounded by a wall, it will take several times the number of troops to conquer it, let alone something like Guliang City.

It's a big city with dangerous terrain, high walls and deep rivers.

Guliang City is located to the west of Jiaguan. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. There is a saying in the military books of the past dynasties that "when entering the Central Plains eastward, Jiaguan must be captured. If you want to capture Jiaguan, you must first conquer Guliang." The people who guard Guliang City

county

Ling was Zhao Bohai's old rival Zhai Yun. Although Zhai Yun was a civil servant, he was not afraid of death and did not love money. He was deeply supported by the people. Therefore, the rebels used troops several times, but they all failed at the gate of Guliang City.

.

It was not until the Korean soldiers defected to the rebels that the situation fundamentally changed.

This is how Han Bing persuaded Zhao Bohai.

"It is easy to defend a city, but difficult to attack it. If you defend the city properly, you can win with a small number. If you don't have ten times the strength of the defenders, you can't besiege the city. If you don't have five times the strength of the defenders, you can't attack the city. In ancient times, no matter how big the city was,

"No one can exceed three hundred feet; even though there are many people, no one can exceed three thousand families." Thirty thousand elite soldiers are enough to pacify the world. But Guliang City is "a city of thousands of feet, a city of ten thousand families", and a company of thirty thousand people can

Even the corners of the city cannot be surrounded

The preparation work for siege takes six months, including three months for preparing siege equipment, and another three months for repairing the distance and other fortifications. After half a year, 'the generals will be so angry that ants will attack them.' The result of the ant attack is

The result of "killing one-third of the soldiers" and "killing one-third of the soldiers" is "the city cannot be taken out". If Zhao Shuai's ambition is to cover up the Central Plains, he cannot lose too many troops in Guliang City.

"

There are many brave and skilled soldiers in the rebel army. What Zhao Bohai lacks is a strategist like Han Bing. He calls Han Bing "sir" and invites Han Bing to the superior position. He behaves like a polite corporal and politely asks for advice.

The law of the city.

"Cities are conquered from the inside. If you want to overthrow Guliang City, you must bury nails in the city and coordinate the inside and the outside. Since Zhai Zipeng is stubborn, Marshal Zhao can start from two aspects. First, use space to drive a wedge between the court and Zhai Yun.

The relationship between Yun and his subordinates, secondly, instigating rebellion, using property and women to induce the generals guarding the city to rebel, killing Zhai Yun, and opening the city gate."

Zhao Bohai adopted Han Bing's strategy. At first, he was still thinking of buying a horse, but as time went by, he realized that Han Bing was not what he thought.

Only then was the person who talked about military affairs entrusted him with important tasks and regarded him as the mastermind.

Half a year later, the rebels invaded Guliang City in a large scale. They marched in three routes from the north, south, and middle. They all marched out, and they were sure to win. The north and south routes detoured and headed straight for the pass, to contain the reinforcements from advancing westward. The middle route was led by Zhao Bohai himself.

, attacking Guliang City day and night.

The rebels divided into six groups to attack the city in turns, using Linchong Lugong chariots, osmium falcon chariots, crash chariots, ladders, door jamb carts, pointed wooden donkeys, nest chariots and other siege equipment. Zhai Yun was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

,

He immediately realized that this attack was unusual. While burning wolf smoke and calling the police at Jiaguan for help, he tried his best to block the attack with soldiers and water and soil, and combined the power of the city to neutralize the enemy's offensive one by one.

After three days of separation, Zhai Yun was shocked to find that the rebels had strict discipline and a measured advance and retreat. They evacuated the wounded in time to preserve their strength in every round of attacks. He was frightened for a while. Zhao Bohai's plan this time was very big, and the valley was unstoppable.

Liangcheng is just the first step, their real target is probably east of Jiaguan!

He stayed up day and night and struggled until the tenth day. The reinforcements from the gate had not arrived yet. The arrows, wood and stones in the city were exhausted, and morale was low. At the same time, Zhao Bohai added fuel to the fire, promising to massacre the city for three days after the city was broken.

The rebels gained momentum and launched another round of fierce attacks.

Zhai Yung wore his armor and went to the city tower in person to supervise the battle. He secretly ordered his soldiers to prepare "golden juice" on the east and west wings. However, the rebels, many of whom were brave, climbed to the top of the city from the center and gained a firm foothold. This led to

Qin Chong took advantage of the chaos to break in and captured him alive in the melee.

Zhai Yun. Yajiang Hou Debiao had already had his doubts. Seeing that the situation was over, he secretly opened the city gate and led the rebels into the city. The situation was leaked for thousands of miles. With Hou Debiao to respond, the rebels seemed to be in an uninhabited land. In less than half an hour, Gu

Liangcheng fell into the hands of Zhao Bohai.

Hou Debiao was ordered to go to surrender, but it was a waste of words. Zhai Yun was determined to repay the imperial court with his death and keep his reputation for life. Zhao Bohai respected his old rival's choice and did not force him. Before beheading, Zhai Yun asked to see the rebels behind the scenes.

As a master, Zhao Bohai agreed to him.

In this way, at the last moment of his life, Zhai Yun met the mastermind behind the scenes, the rebel's think tank, Han Bing Han Dali. There was an intriguing conversation between them.

"Linchong Lv Gong's chariot, osmium falcon chariot, crash chariot, cloud ladder, door-blocking knife chariot, pointed wooden donkey, nest chariot, these siege equipment have always been kept secret. Where did you learn them?"

"It's all in the military manual, just build it accordingly."

"Do you have a family background, or do you have another teacher?"

"The capital is corrupt, and the booksellers are only interested in profit. They spend more gold and silver. Even if it is hidden in the inner treasure house, there are ways to get it out."

"How did you convince Hou Debiao?"

"Hou Debiao came from a humble background. He knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He only needs to persuade others to use coercion and inducement."

"How to intimidate?"

"I forged a letter about his secret affair with Zhao Shuai. Even he himself couldn't tell the truth from the false. Hou Debiao has always been at odds with you. Once this letter falls into your hands, he will not lose his head or enter the country.

In the great prison, if you weigh the two aspects, you will naturally know the choice."

"...It was my fault that I didn't know people well. So what about the inducements?"

"On the day the city is broken, Hou Debiao and his men can massacre the city for three days. After that, they can stay or leave. If he wants to stay, Marshal Zhao will entrust him with important tasks. If he wants to leave, he can leave with his property and women, and we will never stop him."

"Tucheng, you guys are really ruthless..."

"Zhai Zipeng, although you are a scholar, your ability to defend a city with troops is no less than that of a general. Your defeat is due to your lack of understanding of human nature. In troubled times, everyone is just a beast. This is something that cannot be learned from poetry, books, rituals and music."

Zhao Bohai chopped off Zhai Yun's head and hung it on the tower of Guliang City. He refused to close his eyes, his sad eyes staring straight in the direction of Jiaguan.

The time limit for massacre of the city has come, the horns are blaring, and the Chinese army's guard battalions flood into Guliang City, stationed in the streets and alleys, supervising the withdrawal of the massacre troops from outside the city. Anyone who disobeys the order and continues to harass the people will be punished on the spot.

Kill.

The Guards Battalion did not participate in the siege. They were neatly organized and had full combat power. The arrogant and powerful generals indulged in excessive lust and were no match for them. They could only obey orders obediently. The situation in the city quickly stabilized, and Zhao Bohai officially settled in Guliang City.

He did not attack Jiaguan non-stop and captured Guliang City, which was just the first step in his struggle for world supremacy. Zhao Bohai held a heavy army, a tiger descending from the mountain, and Han Bing's resourcefulness was the wings on which he soared. The two complemented each other.

You will definitely stand out from the rebels.
