"Master Zhuo, please go in quickly. We will guard the city gate here to ensure that Bing Bu cannot escape and you have a way out."
After Xun surrendered again, he and the others rushed into the city. After they entered, the soldiers immediately closed the door.
When the common people saw Master Zhuo coming in with his troops from outside, they all guessed it, and hid in their houses one after another. Even those who were passing by hid in inns. Those who didn't know better thought it was an empty city.
The army had entered the city. Bing Bu knew what had happened without anyone reporting it, but he did not panic. At least he had gathered some people in the army, so he immediately sent someone to assemble the army and asked him to call Gan Zhu.
Come.
But the people who went to invite Gan Zhu came back and said that there was no one in Gan Zhu's house. Bing Bu snorted coldly.
Not all of the army was assembled, but most of it. This was also what Bing Bu expected. He knew better than anyone else what the state of people's hearts in the army were.
Although there were only more than half of them, there were tens of thousands of people, and it was more than enough to deal with them. He immediately made arrangements, and the generals led their teams to leave. He then placed a table and a chair in the yard, enjoying the breeze and sipping tea.
All the generals were in place, waiting for Mr. Zhuo and the others to enter the net, but no one came, and no sound was heard on the street. Just now, there was the loud sound of horse hooves, which seemed to disappear in an instant.
People have an illusion: Master Zhuo is still on his way to Qinzhou and has never been here at all.
All the city gates are now tightly closed. Those who hate Bing Bu are eagerly looking forward to Zhuo Ye's victory; those who love Bing Bu are eager to see the legendary almighty Zhuo Ye kneel down in front of Bing Bu.
People from the two factions, plus the neutral faction, and the three factions all stretched their necks and looked around, wondering how the sound of horse hooves that they could still hear just now suddenly became silent. Some people even thought about whether they were hearing hallucinations just now.
The situation was reported to Bing Bu. Bing Bu was also very surprised, but now that the four city gates have been closed, how could hundreds of Master Zhuo's people be missing? He ordered them to wait and wait, not to act rashly, so as not to be ambushed. If you don't believe it, how could you?
Ten thousand people can be killed by a few hundred people, and they can continue to enjoy the breeze and sip tea leisurely.
In fact, in street fighting, more people may not be an advantage.
After they rushed into the city, they took advantage of the chaos when the people were fleeing and entered a courtyard similar to the later "Yizhuang", where several unburied corpses were still parked.
Everyone placed their horses here, and then dispersed according to the tactics discussed on the way here.
Hyun has stayed here for a few months, and it's not in vain. Since he has made plans to deal with Bing Bu, he must be prepared for war. The terrain, those people who can win over, etc., have you done it?
Investigate less.
Of course, those who were not ordered to assemble by Bing Bu joined Hyun and the others, but Hyun told them to stand still and would notify them when they were needed. Those who were ordered to assemble by Bing Bu were not all his die-hard fans, most of them were intimidated.
Because of his cruelty, even if he was disgusted in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the surface, let alone confront him. Hyun just wanted to win over these people, even if he just watched from the sidelines and was a walleye, don't obey Bing Bu's orders.
Hyun wrote down the names of those who could be won over and gave them to the captains of each team. However, lobbying with such white teeth will definitely not succeed, especially when facing these losers, so they still have to fight and give in.
Only when the outsiders see the trend of Bing Bu's downfall may they turn to their side, or sit back and watch with peace of mind.
Regarding fighting a civil war, I would be unwilling to do anything from 100 to 10,000.
No matter which side is fighting a civil war, the country's talents are consumed. These talents may become the backbone of the country's future development, but they are consumed in the civil war of their compatriots, which is a loss for a country.
But sometimes civil wars have to be fought. Some indicate the transition between the old and new regimes, and some reflect the aspirations of the people, such as the American Civil War, Japan's Boshin War, and China's Kuomintang-Communist War.
Even so, Ke Hyun still feels sorry for those talents who were wasted in the civil war.
So war is a damn thing. It destroys the homes that people have built over many years of hard work and displaces people. Whether it is the party that initiates the war or the party that passively accepts it, both money and talents will be lost!
However, these are just words. They don’t want to be attacked by other countries, and they don’t want to be manipulated by big countries. They have to strengthen themselves. When they are so strong that they want to make a move, they have to think carefully. They only dare to shout and shout.
He only dares to provoke me like a scoundrel, and then turns around and tries to defend and deny it, but he doesn't dare to be serious about it. Just like what my mother often said: A dog picks up the door curtain with his mouth.
Ahem, it’s far away again, brothers! You’re all back! The little bench is here!
The captains of each team went to look for them with the lists. They found that Huan and Ding Wangcai were not assigned to any team. Originally, Huan was not expected to lead troops in war. Wang Bi knew it very well, so he asked her to stay with him in Yizhuang.
Stay, um, stay with the corpses that have not yet been buried.
Wang Bi looked at the thin coffins and wondered who was lying inside. A down-and-out young man from a certain family? Or a homeless refugee? He thought about it in confusion and entered the room where the Buddha statues were placed.
When I came in, I saw Hyun staring at the Buddha statue in a daze and asked:
“Are the Buddha statues any different?”
Hyun glanced at him and looked away from the Buddha statue:
"I'm thinking that it's useless to just mobilize those people. The key is to shake the morale of the military."
Wang Bi sat next to her:
"How to shake the morale of the military? We don't have that many people to lobby one by one."
Hyun smiled and said:
"Why do we have to lobby one by one? Why do we have to use our voices?"
Wang Bi was stunned:
"You, are you going to shout in the streets? Doesn't this expose yourself?"
Hyun looked at the Buddha statue again with a smile:
"So what if they are exposed? There are many of them, but in street fighting, the large number of people becomes a fetter. It is not as good as the mobility of a single person, which is just a stupid dog getting into a wolf-dog position."
Wang Bi was still thinking about the feasibility of this plan, but he saw that Huan had already stood up, called Ding Wangcai and the others to prepare to go out, rushed forward, grabbed Huan, and said quickly:
"Let them go if they have something to do, and just stay here! You can't go anywhere!"
Wang Bi knew that Hyun was clever, but this was a battlefield after all, and Wang Bi couldn't guarantee that her cleverness would keep her safe. Besides, Hyun was a woman, and she was someone he was very grateful to, and he wanted to protect her.
Xuan kept saying nice things for a long time, but Wang Bi refused to let her go. It was useless, so he had no choice but to hand it over to Ding Wangcai and others and let them go, but left Wu Tiedan behind, claiming to be protecting her, but in fact
It's because Wu Tiedan does things recklessly. Things that require carefulness and avoidance are not suitable for him to do. If he is allowed to do it, he will most likely be caught.
The border town, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly heard shouts from everywhere:
"My fellow soldiers, are you really willing to take orders under Bing Bu? Don't you understand what Bing Bu's temperament is? Are you willing to take orders from such a person? Bing Bu is cruel and suspicious, even those closest to him
He cannot completely trust people. As long as you are doubted by him, no matter whether you really have that intention, you will be treated cruelly by him. How many of your brothers have died in his hands. We soldiers,
Death on the battlefield is the best funeral, but he died inexplicably at the hands of his own people without even going to the battlefield. Is this a general you support? In the past, you didn't dare to rebel because you had no chance.
, now that Master Zhuo has brought troops to deal with Bing Bu, do you still want to help the tyrants? Haven’t you had enough of the fearful days before? You are the soldiers of Kunyu Kingdom, not Bing Bu. Now you have Master Zhuo as your
Support me, you don’t have to be afraid anymore! You don’t have to succumb to power anymore! Master Zhuo will deal with this scum! You have to believe in Master Zhuo!"
The generals sent people to follow the sound, but when they arrived, the person had long disappeared. The sound was heard again in other places. They hurried to pursue it, but after passing by, no one was there again.
Ding Wangcai and the others climbed over the wall and left. The army followed the road honestly, so Ding Wangcai and the others slipped them around the border town.
Although the border town was not big, the soldiers were wasting their energy by running back and forth like this. No one was seen, but they were all gasping for breath.
Although the army appears to be the same on the surface, in fact, the hearts of the soldiers have already begun to waver.
Bing Bu also heard it in the yard, and his face turned dark. He usually used violence to make the army surrender to him, but now it also showed its shortcomings. Bing Bu has always felt that nothing can be solved by force, but now he
If you encounter something that cannot be solved by force, this is the human heart.
The teams that went to lobby returned to Yizhuang one after another, and Ding Wangcai and the others also came back one after another. As expected by the lobbying team, these wallflowers showed no sign of rabbits or hawks.
Wang Bi saw Xun's face look troubled and leaned forward:
"Master Zhuo, this battle must be fought. Deaths and injuries are inevitable."
Hyun sighed and nodded:
"Well, let's fight."
Wang Bi got up and went to make arrangements.
In the past, the army, no matter which country it was from, rarely had contact with street fighting. Even if there was a siege, when the army could enter the city, it meant that the opponent had no ability to resist or gave up resistance. Even if they sometimes encountered villages or something in the field,
, but by the time the fighting was over, the buildings were mostly destroyed, so street fighting only appeared with the development of urbanization.
Street fighting is more brutal than real combat and causes more casualties.
In ancient China, there were very few street fighting. Once a city was breached, the defenders withdrew and would not stay to resist desperately. This does not mean that ancient soldiers were afraid of death.
The construction of ancient cities was based on marching routes. It can be said that they were fighting step by step and resisting layer by layer. There was absolutely no need to spend a lot of resources and troops for a city that was conquered. On the contrary, the surviving troops retreated to the next city, and they could also defend the city.
Counterattack to preserve strength in the future. Furthermore, most ancient sieges will not involve death, and will leave a way for the defenders to retreat, also to reduce their own losses.
In addition, the practice of desperately defending the city and engaging in street fighting can easily lead to cruel revenge from the attackers. Therefore, the defenders' retreat when the fighting situation is unfavorable is also a kind of protection, whether it is against the army or the people.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no street fighting at all. There are generally three situations in which street fighting occurs:
The first is some important cities, such as the capital city, which can affect the whole body. The second is that if the defenders fail to break through and there are reinforcements from outside, they have the confidence not to panic. The third is that the defenders have a strong will to resist.
Determined to fight to the death. (To be continued)
