On the main road to the northeast, countless soldiers walked on foot, and they did not see the head or the tail. Li Chongjin sat on the horse, turned his head and said to Li Jixun, "It doesn't matter if I go to Haozhou, this matter in Shouzhou has nothing to do with me. Let's wait and see how Guo Shao died!"
Li Jixun remained silent, remembering that the camp outside Shouzhou City was attacked, he should also be responsible... After all, Guo Shao had come to beg himself. Now I really underestimate Liu Renzhan; if I can expect it, of course I will not use military affairs for the sake of personal prejudice. Besides, I don’t have much prejudice against Guo Shao, just look down on his ability a bit, he is too young.
Li Jixun groaned: "Guo Dushi’s opponent is Liu Renzhan. It is indeed a bit shameful for him to compete with Liu Renzhan. It is also bad enough for Guo Dushi to bully the little ones." /
He thought: He is not Liu Renzhan's opponent either. Although Liu Renzhan defended the city and took advantage, he had few soldiers and the Southern Tang Army was not capable of fighting.
"Digging tunnels, building soil...Hey, I dare to issue a military order with a one-month period, and give him a one-year period. I don’t know if he can make it. It depends on how much food there is in Shouzhou City." Li Zhongjin sighed, "I am very I want to see how he died, but we didn’t get the slightest benefit from Huaishui. Guo Shao couldn’t force the reinforcements of Nantang in Shouzhou, so he had to wait another month! Look at Yangzhou..."
At this point, Li Zhongjin stopped, he didn't want to mention Zhang Yongde's name. Li Jixun and Zhao Kuangyin beside him are said to be married brothers, and then Zhao Kuangyin is Zhang Yongde's person again... I am too lazy to mention them. Zhao Kuangyin is now able to shine, and it is because Zhang Yongde worked hard to ask for credit for him after the Battle of Gaoping, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not have the opportunity to enter the eyes of the emperor; this kind of knowledge and encounter, coupled with the relationship between the old subordinates, Zhao Kuangyin must be a nostril with Zhang Yongde .
……
Yangzhou's Zhao Kuangyin did play very easily. He has a dark face and smiles all day long, sometimes his face is almost broken. After entering Huainan, I don't know why it went so smoothly. It seemed that I was blessed by the heavens. I was very unrestrained and can often play casually. For example, when hitting Chuzhou, he tried his hand after a lot of instigation, and shot down the chief of the Southern Tang army with a single ride, and he broke the city like this, just like reaching for something in his pocket. Of course, he wouldn't go to the city Liu Renzhan was guarding. It was reserved for fools.
Recently made new contributions. A group of soldiers and horses originally crossed the river from the south bank of the Yangtze River to other places. They discovered that Yangzhou had fallen, and they wanted to come and attack Yangzhou.
Of course, Zhao Kuangyin will not let this kind of people come to the door. While sending someone to ask for an order, he sent the cavalry out of the city to attack without waiting for a reply.
After a large-scale rectification of the cavalry, nearly half of the people were eliminated, and elite soldiers and warriors were selected from all over the country to supplement their troops; the cavalry with a number of up to 30,000, especially the cavalry, is very good at fighting. Zhao Kuangyin led the cavalry to fight an unknown army of the Southern Tang Army. It didn't require any tactics. The heavy cavalry was in front of him without a brain attack, and the rear army swarmed to kill people. Defeated 30,000 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty and killed more than 10,000 people in one day...Chopping vegetables and melons, the Southern Tang Army was simply the head of the door. Another great achievement!
……
But Guo Shao of Shouzhou is the exact opposite. He has done nothing by any means and is still very difficult.
"Are you sure the length of the rope just reached the wall?" Guo Shao asked a soldier cautiously.
The soldier replied: "Yes, the little one was lying on the road for half a night. In the early morning, he saw the soldiers on the wall dozing off, and then he climbed to the corner and took the rope."
Guo Shao asked again like a long-winded woman: "Is the rope straight?" The soldier replied, "It's straight."
He lowered his head, and there was a dark dirt hole like a dry well next to it, and the tunnel was underneath; but the tunnel's head was in the second line of defense behind it, and now it is difficult to find the direction of the tunnel in the city.
Furthermore, there are a total of 18 such tunnels around the city, which are scattered in the east, west, and south of the area within 20 miles. After Li Zhongjin left, Guo Shao ordered all the siege to stop, and only attacked the city wall with a catapult. The most important thing for everyone is to dig tunnels and bases.
Guo Shao looked up, and there was a fire and smoke billowing at the foot of the wall in the distance. Many sergeants were digging soil with shovel to put out the fire.
Two soil ramparts are rushing to work, but they are not going well. On the front of Shouzhou City, the city wall built up the soil and piled up the mountain. Obviously, both the enemy and I know what Zhou Jun wants to do...Pile the soil on the side of the wall and build up the soil as a mountain, so that a ramp can be formed next to the city wall. Any equipment attacked upward. However, the general public does not think this method will work. Braving arrows, stones, wood, and fierce fire and oil, it is very slow to pile up soil at the foot of the city wall, and will be attacked and harassed by people on the wall.
The method that Zhou Jun thought of was to first dig a trench under the city wall, and then fix piles, insert wooden boards, and build the wall with soil rammed slabs on the side of the ditch; after the intention was to repair a thick wall that was not strong enough, the wooden boards were torn down. Earth wall. To avoid being attacked by arrows on the city wall. However, Tang Jun just dropped the lit oil jar with a stone dump truck and burned the wooden boards. It was even more miserable yesterday. Unfortunately, he was hit by a stone from a boulder and knocked over the wall.
Even if this method of building the soil took great effort to build and form a slope, the city wall has long been tightly guarded in the narrow passage, and there are almost a hundred ways to block the Zhou army's offensive men and horses outside.
However, Guo Shao still ordered the army to pile up the hills endlessly, and eighteen tunnels were also secretly dug. Liu Renzhan must have guessed that Zhou Jun was digging tunnels, but it was difficult for him to figure out exactly where these tunnels were. With a wall of more than ten kilometers long, it would take a lot of time for him to figure out the location of each tunnel. Guo Shao guessed that Liu Renzhan was also digging a tunnel.
...Are there any omissions? Guo Shao kept asking himself.
More than half a month has passed since the deadline for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. Everything was prepared, Guo Shao went to the warehouse in Xiacai Town, and the twelve coffins were laid flat in a room. When he walked in, Guo Shao suddenly had the illusion of a miserable wind and wind, as if the whole family was dead here. But some big boxes made of wood can give people an aura of death very intuitively.
Open the coffin, which is filled with gunpowder bags, seal it with a cloth soaked in tung oil repeatedly, then wrap it with a quilt, and then seal a layer of tarpaulin. This cloth is the cloth for marching tents. These gunpowder is the limit of raw materials that Li Gu can raise within a month, mainly because a large amount of saltpeter cannot be obtained for a while.
"Is it powerful enough?" Guo Shao asked, but didn't know who to ask. No one could answer Zuo You and others, and they were all silent.
An unprecedented attempt, there is no precedent to follow. Unless you build a wall, spread a thick layer of stone on the foundation like the Shouzhou city wall, and then bury gunpowder to try... the only way to estimate the power in advance. But Guo Shao has no chance.
He has only one chance to attack Shouzhou this time! The wall can't be blown down, or the wall has been blown down but didn't attack...There is no time for a second preparation. Even if there is, Liu Renzhan will not give you a second chance to attack. The breach is not wide enough, and it is estimated that there will be a large amount of collapsed soil and rock blocking the road; as long as the city is properly prepared and targeted, there is a chance to react and block the opening.
If you can't defeat it, you have to return the military order. There is no joke in the army, let alone the emperor.
Guo Shao moved a bench to sit in front of the coffin and meditated, as if silently mourning in front of the deceased for a long time. The breath of death enveloped all places.
After thinking about it several times for more than half a month, plus what he was prepared to do before, he believes that success depends only on two things: First, whether the power of gunpowder is effective. Second, did it paralyze Liu Renzhan and disrupt his vision?
If there is a problem with any one of them, the overall offensive plan will fail.
On this festive season, on the eve of the war, Guo Shao felt very sad. Originally I came to do meritorious service, it is very unfortunate to consume it in Shouzhou; now I can't care about the benefits, but I have to worry about the head on my neck.
If Chai Rong is clicked, can people still have a soul? Can they return to my sister? Maybe she woke up suddenly when she opened her eyes, she could see the familiar face of her sister, smiled and said: You have a nightmare.
Yes, I had a long nightmare.
Furthermore, she was reluctant to wake up, the queen, and Yulian and a bunch of brothers. If you want to pick one of the queen and your sister, who will you pick to stay with you? Maybe if you can’t pick both, you will lose everything...
Fu Shi, I don't even know your name, maybe you don't have a name at all. There should be a nickname, right? But i don't know.
At this time, Guo Shao couldn't understand why he missed a woman who had never seen him a few times, a woman who did not belong to the world, and so strongly.
But, she can live without me... At least for now there will be officials to protect you and cherish you.
Guo Shao II did not have such a thought for any woman, thinking that everything can be reasoned out rationally. But at this time Guo Shao felt that he was reluctant to part with Fu Shi... his favorite woman. He can control his feelings regardless of right or wrong, regardless of the rules, even if there are 10,000 reasons that should not be thought of.
At this moment, he felt that he should thank Fu Shi, without her existence, how desperate and fearful he would be at this time! But the sadness and strong attachment at this time far surpassed the fear of death.
Without any reason, Brother Shao had the uncontrollable impulse for the first time, and this feeling was better than his own life.
If you lose the battle, you may be arrested immediately|capture the emperor. After Guo Shao thought the results were announced, he had no chance. You have to tell Fu Shi, tell her what you think... Guo Shao doesn't want to bring these words in his heart into the coffin.
I should also write a letter to Yulian to explain. All the property in Tokyo is under the control of Yulian, and she distributes it to several other people according to her wishes. Yulian will live very hard without relying on her, but if she has enough wealth, her destiny can be changed.
Guo Shao stood up and planned to write letters on two papers. One of them is a yellow piece of paper, so Jingniang will understand it without mentioning her surname. At this time, this risk is worth taking, and it is very likely to become the last word. z
