020 [flooded Ningxia]
Watching his soldiers die one by one in front of him, Huo Fangyi couldn't help crying. As a commander, he couldn't stand letting his soldiers die so miserably. But what can he do? The only thing he can do is to watch them fall one by one.
With each round and back, many people will be lost. Huo Fangyi saw that his soldiers were getting fewer and fewer. Later, the two groups were slowly combined into one group, and later even a group of people could not make up. Some of the chariots were also damaged during transportation and can no longer be used. Originally, 30 rounds were planned, and all 30,000 bags could be completed, but now with the decrease in the number of people, 30 rounds slowly began to become 31 rounds and 32 rounds... When there were 100 bags left in the end, there were few of Huo Fangyi's soldiers left. Huo Fangyi checked and there were more than 20 people.
Huo Fangyi wiped away his tears and said angrily, "I'll do it myself!"
At this time, Li Rusong stopped him: "No, leave the rest to me. Ruzhang!"
"The end!"
"Fight a few people to push the chariot, and the rest will follow and attack the city with all their strength!"
"Order!" Li Ruzhang found 40 people pushing the remaining 5 chariots and rushed to Ningxia City. Behind them were 5,000 siege troops led by Li Ruzhang. They no longer had to carry the ladder, because the pile of soil had been mated more than one meter high from the city wall. This time, they did not push the car, because the door was too thick to open.
Li Ruzhang is full of confidence this time, because Huo Fangyi has set up a high mound for him. He only needs to lead the soldiers and horses to climb up the mound and then climb up the wall. Besides, Huo Fangyi's troops have caused the enemy to consume so many arrows and boulders, which can't be replenished for a while.
"Kill!" With cannonballs and rockets all over the sky, Li Ruzhang's army bravely rushed under the wall.
"Up!" They all climbed high along the mound, but Bai sneered on the wall and said, "Do you think it's good for the siege? That's a big mistake to let you know that this situation is the most favorable for defense, because we have huge stones! And..." Bai didn't do anything while Huo Fangyi piled up bags. He let his men find many large logs in order to deal with the ensuing siege troops.
First, the rocket blew up one soldier after another in the crowd of the Ming army. When the first batch of Ming army rushed to the mound, he ordered: "Let go of the boulder!"
Then what Li Ruzhang saw was a huge stone rolling down from the wall. The stone rolled down the mound from a high place. The soldiers who could not dodge were either flattened by the rolling stone or knocked away by the rolling stone. Li Ruzhang rode his horse behind him and shouted anxiously, "Go up!" Go!"
Facing these difficulties, you can't overcome them just by momentum. There is a cliff in front of you, and the other side of the cliff is the pure land, but you have no wings, no bridge, and no jumping ability. There is only one result in rushing forward, that is, falling off the cliff! Li Rusong gritted his teeth and frowned in the rear. He only thought of the benefits of this strategy, but he didn't expect that the thief could see the use of this strategy in defense. Bye! I, Li Rusong, will definitely kill your whole family!
If you can't attack, Li Ruzhang can't retreat, so he can only attack up! He is praying. Use up the boulder quickly! Use it up! God seemed to hear his prayer, and the boulder was gone, replaced by a more fierce fire! These logs worshipped them and lit them to burn, and then used them to deal with these Ming troops.
Seeing the rolling wood Li Ruzhang's scalp began to numb, the stone is hard and powerful. Although the rolling wood is soft, it carries fire. Fire is the most effective attack weapon in the world, because fire can burn everything and devour everything.
One by one, the fiery wood rolled down from the heights, and the soldiers were either stunned or lit, because those cloth bags were made of cloth, flammable objects, and gave the flames a burning stage. They burned more vigorously than usual. Under the flirtation of the flames, the Ming army was burned all over their bodies one by one. It was burned unbearably. There was a miserable one that was directly burned into black burnt meat, and the whole battlefield screamed all over the world. The tragic situation is that Huo Fangyi can't experience the shock in the cinema! This visual and auditory feast is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
Huo Fangyi couldn't stand it. He ran to Li Rusong and shouted loudly, "Admiral, come and withdraw your troops!" I can't attack any more!"
Li Rusong refused to admit defeat, but he also knew that he had lost the offensive and defensive battle, because he had no way to let his soldiers cross the rolling wood and rolling stones. Li Rusong gritted his teeth but refused to let go. He didn't want to admit defeat. He was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of five provinces and the rebellious admiral in Shanxi. He lost two battles as soon as he came up, which made him lose face!
Li Rusong tightened the reings of the horse in anger, clamped the horse's stomach with his feet, and was about to rush up. Huo Fangyi's eyesight and hands were quick and he kicked the horse's front leg. The horse was suddenly kicked out of balance and fell to the ground at the moment when he was ready to take off. Li Rusong also fell to the ground. He got up and said angrily, "Kid, you can't rebel!"
Huo Fangyi said without fear, "Your Excellency, the defeat has been decided, and it will not help how many more people go. It's better to take a long-term plan."
Li Rusong knew that he was impulsive just now, and now he calmed down and felt that Huo Fangyi was right, but he was kicked to the ground by a young man. Where did the admiral's face go?
"Come on! Arrest this arrogant boy!" Li Ruson did not listen to Huo Fangyi's persuasion and wanted to arrest him. Ma Gui was so happy to see that Huo Fangyi had "lessed" the young boss. He quickly came forward to plead with Huo Fangyi: "He is right. We must withdraw our troops immediately now. The situation has fallen to the side of worship."
It's useless just for Ma Gui to plead for mercy. At this time, Mei Guozhen, the supervisor next to Li Rusong, also said: "Zimao, don't go your own way. Listen to a word of advice and recruit."
Li Rusong looked at Mei Guozhen and didn't attack again. Mei Guozhen had a good relationship with his father. This expedition to Ningxia was based on Mei Guozhen's strong recommendation. Speaking of which, it was not too much for him to call him uncle, so he waved his hand and said, "Let you go for the time being and order!" Mingjin, stop the army!"
Li Ruzhang on the front line finally got the order. He quickly turned his horse's head excitedly and fled back with his remaining soldiers. The siege battle was completely defeated. With a small number of people, more than 1,000 people were lost, and 2,000 people died in the two siege battles, which made Li Rusong dare not dare to take it any more. Yi moved troops, and we must come up with a good way not to kill a large number of soldiers!
Huo Fangyi's army has only more than 20 people left from less than 1,000 people, which makes him a little psychologically different. In order to ensure the names and safety of the remaining 20 people, Huo Fangyi decided to come up with the best way to break the city for Li Rusong, so that he will not come up with any more damaging moves. Make yourself not even a soldier left. He studied history and began to recall the homage chaos told in history books. Of course, the final result was the destruction of the city, but he couldn't remember what to do. After all, there were quite a lot of wars in history, and not every time it can be remembered.
There is no way to make a clever choice, so I have to figure it out by myself. There are few specific ways to attack the city, including strong attack, alienation, civil strife, anti-internal, fire attack, flooding, sneak attack, seduction of the enemy... Too much! Huo Fangyi brought the topographic map of the scope of Ningxia City. Ningxia City is located in the Hetao Plain, northwest is Helan Mountain, and the northeast is the Great Wall built by the emperor. Ningxia City is equivalent to the gateway between Mongolia and the Central Plains, and its location is very important. A tributary of the Yellow River surrounded Ningxia City. The location of Ningxia City should have been taken into account this natural moat. Water has pros and disadvantages, especially Ningxia is actually close to the Yellow River. It is really unreasonable not to make good use of it.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhibo flooded Jinyang. During the Three Kingdoms period, the seven armies were flooded by feathers. Historically, there were countless measures to break the city with water. Besides, Ningxia City is relatively low compared with the rivers around it. The reason why the wall of Ningxia City was built thick and high is to prevent flood disasters. Huo Fangyi finally thought, why don't we use water to fill it! Give him a golden mountain. In this way, you can take Ningxia City without spending a lot of time!
Take a closer look at the map. Ningxia City is surrounded by water on all sides. There is also Jinbo Lake in 17 miles to the north, Guanyin Lake in 93 in the northwest, Santa Lake in 30 in the northeast, and Honghua Canal in 5 in the south. Don't these four lakes exist for this plot?
Huo Fangyi was very regretful when he thought about this. Why didn't he think of this earlier, otherwise he would not have let his soldiers die so much. Today, he learned a trick to use more tricks and less strong attacks when fighting. The famous battles in history all relied on tricks to win, except for the fierce man Xiang Yu, but in the end, he did not lose to Liu Bang's four-faced Chu Ge's plan to disturb the enemy and the Chu Hehan world.
Think about the strategy, and the rest is to convince Li Rusong. He is not a soldier under Li Rusong. He can only go to Ma Gui first and talk about his thoughts to Ma Zong first.
After listening to Huo Fangyi's idea, General Ma thought it was feasible. He immediately took Huo Fangyi to Li Rusong.
Li Rusong was slightly surprised when he saw that Ma Gui came with the boy who kicked him to the ground last time. He no longer blamed Huo Fangyi. He knew that Huo Fangyi was thinking about the overall situation, and he also admired Huo Fangyi's courage very much. After all, it was not that any subordinate dared to offend his boss. The appointment made me feel that Huo Fangyi, a young man, was a little similar to himself at that time, that is, he offended the governor Xu Shouqian. Ha ha, young people should be born with a calf and not afraid of tigers! Li Rusong actually fell in love with Huo Fangyi when he saw him again. Next, there are more things that move him, that is, Huo Fangyi's plan to flood Ningxia!
