The king of Jingnan is good at controlling the details. In the morning, at noon and in the evening, a group of messengers go back and forth between the various ministries and the king's account. What they report is the current situation of the various ministries, such as how many people are sick, how many war horses are lame, and how much food is in stock. Consumption geometry, the remaining status of the use of military medical materials, etc.;
On the other hand, Wang Zhang will give a response, how much to add and the development of the new round of war, whether it is responsible for siege or support, or is it dedicated to guarding against possible Chu army mobilization in the outer periphery. , Even the area responsible has been carefully divided to the top of the mountain.
The soldiers and horses of the various ministries are like "puppets carrying strings". The ends of the strings are grasped by King Jingnan.
If it is a mediocre coach who commands like this, then there will be complaints from below, and there may be problems on paper because of this, but Tian Wujing obviously does not belong to this category.
In fact, this is not so unusual, but all the commanders in the army know the benefits of doing this, but it is often difficult to practice it. There are many soldiers and horses below, and there are many military leaders. The backing of the imperial court is densely packed, chaotic and complicated. When fighting a battle, what the coach often thinks about is not the war, but these intricate interpersonal relationships.
And throughout the ages, when the commander-in-chief bows to the seal to go to war, the superiors also like to deliberately mix sand in it and set up a supervisory army directly. The proper performance of the art of checks and balances.
However, this phenomenon does not exist in the Great Yan's army against Chu.
One is that King Jingnan himself will not allow this phenomenon to occur;
The second is that His Majesty Dayan had issued a clear decree before he set out to fight. From him, anyone who dares to criticize the frontline war will be executed.
Xiaoliuzi once said that if the land of the Three Jins were thrown away, the land of Dayan would not be as good as Chu Guang, the population would not be as large, and the external environment would not be as good as Jin;
The reason why I was able to sweep through this generation, win a great reputation, and conquer the current state of the country, is that even though I only have five fingers, I can clench my fist with such force. Even if you have seven, eight, nine or even ten fingers, it is very difficult to really fight with me, and you will still have to be punched down by me in the end.
But this unbelievable division of power often makes people feel very insecure. In the past few years, Gan Chu has been waiting to see Yan Guo's jokes, but the problem is that he may be in danger of becoming a real joke before their jokes come. joke.
Just like Da Chu at this time,
perhaps,
?Only Nian Yao himself knows,
What kind of pressure is he facing now, as if the black sky is constantly brewing momentum above his head, and the thunder after thunder is like cracks being torn open in the sky.
at the moment,
He was fortunate that no matter what, Dachu still had a Zhennan Pass to support it.
If there is no this great pass to sit in, Nian Yao does not think that the Great Chu will perish, no matter how fierce his Dayan cavalry is, Nian Yao is confident that under the leadership of the king, Chu Guozuo, it is impossible to perish so easily;
However, it is conceivable that
If it is true that these hundreds of thousands of Yan-Jin coalition forces can go straight into Chu, and want to drive them away or deal with them, Da Chu will definitely be extremely uncomfortable.
?As the war unfolded step by step, the first round of contact was the end of the Battle of Yangshanzhai, and the situation of spies and fans from both sides investigating each other's domestic affairs gradually fell on the table of the superiors on both sides.
Although Yan Guo gambled on the country's fortune, it was a solid piece of iron. After all, as long as there were those few people, the iron plate must be there. The three of them had long ago wiped out the burrs on the iron plate with blood and fire.
As for Da Chu,
Nian Yao sent the memorial of the great victory to the court,
Although he personally wrote a secret book and sent it to the king, presenting the specific situation of this battle.
But the Bai family,
Nian Yao sat on the sidelines of the siege of the Yang Shanzhai and did not save him. He timidly avoided the battle, resulting in the disappearance of eight thousand Baipu soldiers!
The Bai family wrote this note, expressing the anger of the Bai family;
This move, from the perspective of God, must have a very negative impact on the overall situation.
But standing on the side of the Bai family, they sent out their own troops, and they were stationed in the fortress deep in the defense of the Chu army, but they were wiped out by the Yan people inexplicably.
The Bai family is not a big nobleman like Qu's. Qu's 50,000 Qingluan army went on an expedition to Jin. After the descendants were gone, the family immediately pulled up a second batch, and there was comfort from the king and the court.
Although the consolation¡ªthe princess, was abducted by the Yan people.
If you use this soldier and horse as bait, what will you get??? basket.
Uncle,
Uncle,
Uncle still remembers himself, uncle still cares about himself! ! !
After returning with the basket, Guo Dong first took one piece by himself, then passed another piece to Xu An, and passed the rest to the captain, who waved his hand to signal that he didn't want it, and then he was divided by other robes around him.
Guo Dong was crying while eating watermelon.
Xu An watched from the side and laughed.
He knew how much pressure his brother had been under after his own father was killed by the sentry cavalry of the Chu people. Now, Uncle Hirano is simply a pillar in his heart.
This time, Bote Hirano deliberately gave him melons, which was the best consolation for his brother.
A piece of melon is not much at all. After eating, Guo Dong wiped his mouth and said impatiently:
"Straight mother thief, why haven't you started attacking the city!"
Now he can't wait to fly to the tower of Dongshan Castle immediately, and plant the "Zheng" flag there for Uncle Zheng.
Xu An comforted him and said:
"It's still early, we have to greet the trebuchet first, then press the arrow tower in, then the savages, and after that, it may be our turn."
"But I can't wait!!!"
Guo Dong growled.
"There are plenty of opportunities for you to perform, don't worry, don't worry."
In fact, Xu An knew in his heart that these auxiliary soldiers were below to protect the crossbowmen or battering rams and arrow towers. If there were no accidents, there was basically no chance of rushing up the tower.
However, my brother, the blood in my heart has been completely stimulated by a piece of watermelon.
At this time, on the chariot, Uncle Zheng was explaining to the two generals:
"Here, and there, the stakes set up are actually markings, and they are distance reminders for the catapult. Later, the first round of projectiles will be carried out here. Let's take a look at the city wall of Dongshan Castle first, but I It is estimated that Chu people are good at building, and this city wall is very difficult to break down."
"In this case, Uncle, why don't you pull closer and throw the huge boulder directly at the Chu people's tower or the city?" Gongsun Zhi asked.
Before waiting for Uncle Zheng to answer, Gong Wang said first: "This is because in Dongshan Fort, the Chu people must have trebuchets in preparation, and there should be huge crossbows on the city wall.
If we close the distance too early, our trebuchets will be easily hit by the Chu people's trebuchets. We should take our time, and it is best to scare the snake first, so that the Chu people's trebuchets will be exposed first. "
Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "Brother Gong is exactly what he said."
Gong Wang smiled, he is from Jin, and actually knows some methods of siege.
A long time ago, when he was at Zhennanguan, he had accompanied Situ Lei to fight against the Chu people.
"Pre-¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª put it!!!"
"Om! Om! Om!!!!!!"
The first round of trebuchets began to throw, because the distance was too far, most of them just hit the city wall, and a small part hit the city wall.
The people in Tianji Pavilion were quickly projecting coordinates and calculating the distance.
And at the forefront of the team,
A large group of savages sat in the dark, and a large basket of soil was placed in front of each savage.
The king's banner of the savage king stood there,
He pointed with one finger at the ditch and moat under Dongshan Fort ahead,
In the other hand, he held a handful of bamboo pieces engraved with words,
shouted to the surroundings:
"Later, if you fill the trench with soil and come back with a basket, come to me to get the bamboo slices. With the bamboo slices, you will have food tonight!
Don't worry about the arrows of the Chu people on the city wall,
stars,
Will bless you all! "
After speaking,
The Savage King turned his back to the Savage behind him, and faced the wall of Dongshan Fort.
