Chapter 453 What do you think
As the saying goes, war is a treacherous way.
Gao Yingxiang's 10,000 or 20,000 people came to attack the city, and more than 100,000 people came to attack the city, are two different concepts.
He Jinchao believes that Dai Junen can't be too cautious, or that he has Gao Yingxiang's experience of the last failure of the siege.
Dai Junen paid more attention to the manufacturing of equipment for defending the city. He waited for the rebel army to attack the city, then fought back, seized the favorable opportunity, and then left the city to fight back.
This is called seizing opportunities, being brave and scheming, rather than being a constant tactic.
Half an hour later, the resting soldiers had already rested enough and even started looking for a place to pee, and the officials were not here to come out.
Gao Yingxiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that the dog soldiers in the city were also scared.
"The leader, it's almost noon, hurry up and order the camp to avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy at night."
He Jinchao didn't want to be Sun Quan. He brought his army to attack the city for the first time, but he was beaten to the point of falling flowers and fled in a panic.
"Yes." Wang Ziyeng nodded and ordered people to build a camp.
To be honest, Lu'an Prefecture is a large-scale producer of Lu silk. Not many people grow grain. Mullet trees are everywhere in the mountains and fields, which are used to raise silkworms.
Now these trees have been cut down, made one by one, and then placed outside Changzhi City.
This is a simple protection, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy after night.
It is not an exaggeration to be careful when marching and fighting.
On the battlefield, most people rely on seizing the opponent's mistakes to increase their chances of winning.
He Jinchao was waiting for the official army to take the initiative to attack, while Dai Junen was also waiting for the rebels to take the initiative to attack the city.
No one is willing to hold his hands first.
Go to the camp and the toilet area are all planned.
It is really the habit of these peasant soldiers. Wang Ziyong only cared about a group of direct troops. Where did they learn how to set up camps?
The feces and urine of 100,000 people is definitely a big output.
At He Jinchao's suggestion, the leaders sent people to learn how to set up camps and why separate toilet areas should be distinguished.
If you don’t want the entire camp to get out of the way and it will cause a plague epidemic, it’s best to do it.
Plague is something that everyone is afraid of in their hearts.
Under the publicity of He Jinchao, the chief in charge of the 800,000 rebel army in Shaanxi, various tribes of all sizes were arranged in an orderly manner, and at least the camps were jointly camped for several miles, and they looked imposing.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the camp was barely established.
In half a month, the government troops in Changzhi County were already a little numb, and these rebels were afraid that they would not want to leave.
Just today, tens of thousands of thieves outside the city began to dig trenches, forbidding people in the city to leave the city and suddenly besieged to death.
This really made the nerves of these city guards nervous again.
After hearing the news, Dai Junen, a military officer, immediately took his servants to the city wall and observed carefully.
Tens of thousands of people were digging the soil in full swing, and the soil was piled up solid. The lively scene made Dai Junen's face begin to become solemn.
He had vaguely heard of this method of operation.
That’s right, it’s the way for the Hammer He Jinchao to besiege Taiyuan!
The hammer bandits surrounded Taiyuan for several months, digging trenches, training soldiers outside the city every day, and even conducting night attacks.
Their target seemed not Changzhi County, but reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.
This is how He Jinchao conquered Taiyuan.
Dai Junen was sure that this must have been He Jinchao's work. He was outside the city, commanding tens of thousands of troops to attack Changzhi.
His expression became solemn again. He Jinchao's reputation in Shanxi was spread from north to south. Everyone knew it and everyone knew it.
It is not in vain to be famous all over Jin.
Now I have to be more careful.
Dai Junen clenched his fists and thought carefully about the way to solve He Jinchao's offensive.
After He Jinchao finished explaining four main leaders, including the Armor-Breaking Cone, the Eight Vajra, Li Jin Wang, and Bai Jiuer.
They have led their troops to evacuate Changzhi County. Although the flags in the camp were displayed, the officials and soldiers in the city could not see any differences.
The first stop is Lucheng, which is located on the west side of Taihang Mountain and the northeastern edge of Shangdang Basin, across the river from Licheng.
Before the rebel army could exert its strength, the guard Gao Yi opened the north gate and fled, crossed the river and ran towards Licheng.
He did not dare to face the 200,000 rebels directly. He heard that tens of thousands of attacks on Changzhi, and the rest would pacify all the surrounding prefectures and counties, so that Changzhi would become an isolated city completely.
Gao Yi can get rich by collecting taxes and controlling the weaver's households, and let him defend Lucheng and fight the rebels to the end. That is absolutely not possible.
The leader of the alliance Wang Ziyong saw that the Ming army fled without fighting, and couldn't help laughing and led the army directly into the county town.
He ordered the soldiers of the rebel army not to rob, and at the same time collected ships and prepared to cross the river to attack Licheng.
This time, the troops sent were all elite soldiers, and several of them gave them a lot of rewards, so the military orders were implemented very thoroughly.
There were almost no vicious incidents in Lucheng, and even the rebel army helped to maintain public order.
A group of gentry in Lucheng scolded the Ming army's garrison Gao Yi as a waste. Then, without waiting for the rebels to come, they united and quickly took money and grain to comfort the soldiers of the rebels.
The leader Wang Ziyong accepted the money and food delivered to his doorstep with a smile, and his army was short of food.
He was thinking about letting the people in Lucheng contribute their food. If he didn't follow, he would plunder the troops and finally wrap away the young and strong.
As for killing a few wealthy families, it is the best choice for Wang Zip, otherwise how can he have money and food?
But for the sake of the big plan, he followed He Jinchao's advice, chatted and laughed with these people, and had a meal together.
At the banquet, Wang Ziyong suggested that the army had insufficient food and supplies, and hoped that all the gentry could sponsor one or two.
The gentry in Lucheng looked embarrassed. These days, food is more important than money.
But don’t look at others who are smiling and discussing with you, if you dare to say no, the guy who is eating will not be able to save it.
"President Wang, my Wang family is willing to pay 500 stones of grain."
Immediately afterwards, several well-known gentry in Lucheng donated money.
Wang Ziyong glanced at He Jinchao, and this method of attracting sponsorship was indeed very effective.
Even though there is not much food, this is Lu'an Prefecture, and there are no farming areas, all of them are silkworms.
These people also relied on Shanxi merchants to buy food and hoarded it.
He Jinchao didn't say much. How could he steal the limelight from the leader at this time?
Their coalition forces still have to set out to Hebei, and someone will accept the occupied cities in the future.
Gao Yi, the garrison in Lucheng, ran to Licheng, and the magistrate Yang Wei accepted him and a group of defeated troops.
Gao Yi had already burned all the ferry before he got ashore, delaying the pursuit of the rebels.
"Mr. Yang, the thief army is powerful. I took my own people to Guangping Prefecture to seek help from Tianxiong Army."
Gao Yi talked about fighting against the rebels and finally outnumbered the crowd to break through.
The magistrate Yang Wei didn't believe a word, and he always sent people to pay attention to the news on the other side of the river.
After all, 200,000 rebels have been surrounded by Changzhi for more than half a month, so who would not pay attention?
This person is greedy for life and fear of death, and does not shoot an arrow and directly abandons the city and flees. Do you really think that my official does not know?
Yang Wei said politely: "Gao Shoujie, please follow me to the county government to drink a glass of wine to suppress your shock."
