Chapter 100 Offense and Defense Conversion
Dai Shan looked at the south gate of Juyongguan with his eyes straightened. Shanhaiguan was known as the world's number one pass, and Juyongguan was twice as tall as Shanhaiguan. What is this? Yue Tuo is also an experienced Jin general. He personally commanded and attacked many castles. He has captured all the capitals of Korea, and there are more cities than his father Dai Shan. But this is the first time he has seen a city as tall and majestic as Juyongguan. With his knowledge, he can't think of a way to break through Juyongguan.
Siege is nothing more than ants attacking the city, breaking the gate, breaking the wall, how to climb a city wall as high as ten feet? Daishan has never heard of a ten feet long ladder for so many years in war. Even if it is built a ten feet long ladder, it is useless. Who can use manpower to erect a ten feet long ladder? It seems that there is a little hope to use squash wood to break the door, but Daishan dare not try it. If Ming army blocks the city gate with earth and stone, it will be useless to smash it open.[]
As for breaking the wall, don't think about it. Such a tall city wall must be more than three meters wide. Not to mention that the siege hammer cannot break the city wall, even the cannon is useless. The father and son looked at Juyongguan for a long time and then looked at each other with bitter expressions. This time, the attack on Changping was kicked to the iron plate. But the father and son were reluctant to leave in shame. Is it just to send out the two red flags to pay homage to the famous passes in the world?
Huang Taiji drew three pieces of Northern Zhili to allow the Six Banners to plunder freely. Although Changping only has one city, it is the most popular, because in addition to Changping, the Tianshou Mountain in the northeast of Changping is the location of the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty. The warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom also have a good study on excavation and archaeology. Whoever occupys Changping will have the opportunity to protect the excavation of the tombs of the emperors and concubines of the Ming Dynasty.
Feng Shui theory was prevalent in ancient times. From emperors and nobles to common people, they all believed that the good burial of ancestors would protect their descendants, and the legend of dragon caves and dragon veins was never cut off. The theory that bad people's ancestral tombs was equal to severing the fortune of the clan was accepted by everyone, including the Great Jin nobles who believed in Buddhism. Due to the above feudal dregs, whoever occupy Changping made great contributions to the Great Jin Kingdom, so everyone wanted to rob it.
In the end, the plundering power of Jingji North Road was robbed by Daishan and Yuetuo and his son. In order to obtain the plundering power of Changping, they gave up the temptation to plunder more prefectures and counties. Several other banner owners, Jiergalang's Southwest Road, was responsible for attacking Liangxiang, Fangshan and Zhuozhou, Amin's Southwest Road, was responsible for attacking Gu'an, Dong'an and Yongqing, and Ajige's Southeast Road, was responsible for attacking Xianghe, Baodi and Wuqing counties. Compared with the northern road where only Changping and one prefecture, Daishan and Yuetuo and his son died a lot.
"Ama, Juyongguan cannot be attacked." Yue Tuo's words were like farts, with no meaning at all. But he had to say such nonsense to relieve his father's boredom.
Dai Shan nodded and shook his head, "Juyongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our people are dropping the bucket, but if you don't attack Juyongguan, where can you get food and grass?" This is the real problem. It doesn't matter if you come for a waste of time, but if you can't grab enough food and grass, you can't continue to use troops. Without population replenishment, the two red flags with drastically reduced strength will weaken. The two fathers and sons will know very well what will happen to the weak tribe.
"Ama, my child has a plan." Yue Tuo looked at Ju Yongguan for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Speak quickly."
"Ama, let's go to Tianshou Mountain!" Yue Tuo pointed to Dongfang, looking confident in winning.
"Tianshoushan Emperor's Tomb? A plan to lure the enemy!" Dai Shan quickly understood the core of his son's plan, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and he was happy.
Yue Tuo's move was absolutely vicious. No matter who guarded Juyong Pass, he would not dare to watch the Dajin Army conduct protective excavation of the imperial tomb. Once the imperial tomb is damaged, it would be a serious crime to kill the nine clans. It would not be a serious crime that could be compensated by one or two people. All the guards of the tomb will suffer. Yue Tuo believes that as long as the Dajin Army set up camp at the foot of Tianshou Mountain, the Ming army in Juyong Pass would have to go out to the customs and fight obediently, knowing that it would be defeated.
The two red flags visited Mingguan for a day under Juyongguan, and then slowly drove towards Tianshou Mountain. The reason for this was to remind the Juyongguan defenders that we were going to archaeology. Will you come? Yue Tuo was afraid that the Ming general who guarded the pass would be a fool, and he could not guess where the Jin army was going to go, so he specially arranged a bunch of loud voices to shout under Juyongguan, telling the Ming army that they were going to visit Tianshou Mountain.
You Shigong stood on the top of the city with a look of despair. Jiannu's move was a real trick. No matter how many military achievements he made by You Shigong, as long as Jiannu destroyed the imperial tomb, the entire You clan would die. Looking at the tribesmen around him, You Shigong could not see the joy of forcing Jiannu to retreat on their faces. As a member of the guard guard, they all knew what the destruction of the imperial tomb meant!
"Class leader, what should I do?" You Shigong's servants are all from the You clan, and I hope the patriarch can show them a way out.
"It seems that all the soldiers on the city cannot be spread, so I can't think of a way." You Shigong believes that Jiannu will not dig the imperial tomb immediately, because Jiannu did this to cut off the Ming army's retreat. Since he went out of the city to fight, he could not save his destiny. Who would be so idiot to go out of the city to fight to the death? At most, the whole clan would have to escape from the foreign land incognito. This trick must be a good grasp of the right position and make a destruction of the imperial tomb to force the Ming army out of the city. The purpose of Jiannu is to do so.
You Shigong returned to the General Army's Office and immediately summoned his confidants and ordered them to secretly transfer their family to Ningxia. His younger brother You Shilu was the general officer in Ningxia. If Jiannu really destroyed the imperial tomb, he would also implicate You Shilu. You Shigong transferred his family to his younger brother in hope that You Shilu would endure humiliation and continue the incense for You. Although You Shigong had made the worst plan, he could not watch Jiannu destroy the imperial tomb. He had to go out of the city to fight, and even if the entire army was wiped out, he would have to take the initiative to attack. The only reason for doing this was to exchange his own death for the family to exempt him from punishment.
In order to make his soldiers willing to die with him, You Shigong made public the movements of Jiannu, and announced that those who are willing to fight him to the death can receive 100 taels of silver to settle the family expenses. At the same time, they will arrange for their families to take refuge in Yulin Guards. Those who refuse to follow him will not be forced to stay and guard Juyong Pass. In private, You Shigong ordered people to spread news that once the imperial tomb is destroyed, all the defenders will be punished, and only the guards who died in battle can exempt their families from being punished. This trick is very effective. Most of the guards guards are willing to die with the commander, and a very small number of soldiers who cherish their lives are secretly detained by You Shigong. He will not let these unstable factors affect his plans.
While mobilizing soldiers, You Shigong sent hundreds of cavalry to inspect Tianshou Mountain. In addition to investigating whether Jiannu had destroyed the imperial tomb, he also sent people to the capital for help, so that he could share the blame.
The Ming army's actions gave Dai Shan and Yue Tuo a wrong signal. They believed that the Ming army was hesitating. As long as the Ming army confirmed that the imperial tomb was still intact, they could lure the Ming army out to die. Therefore, these hundreds of Ming army cavalry were wandering around the Great Jin army camp, and the Great Jin army seemed to have not seen it, and they could do whatever they saw.
When Fang Zhenghua led Sun Zushou and Heiyunlong arrived in Changping, the two armies were in a strange state of peace. The Jin army, which was obviously the attacking side, was quietly waiting for the Ming army to attack. The Ming army, which was obviously insufficient in combat, looked eager to try and actively prepared to fight.
"Two sirs, what do you think?" Since Founder Hua took the initiative to fight, although Sun Zushou and Hei Yunlong both have higher ranks than Fang Zhenghua, the main general is Founder Hua. Sun Zushou and Hei Yunlong assisted the Imperial Horse Supervisor in combat as a guest army.
"Jiannu's move is really ruthless, but as long as the imperial tomb is not destroyed very seriously, there is no big problem." How could Sun Zushou have the confidence to say this? Because he has three thousand mausoleum guards who are good at repairing houses and tombs, which is more professional than those of the new mausoleum guards in Youshigong.
"That's good, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to tie your hands and feet when fighting." Hei Yunlong didn't care about the imperial tomb at all. He only hoped that he would get merits in this battle and that he could have the qualification to lead the **. To be honest, he was already impatient to obey Man Gui's orders. After all, Hei Yunlong had betrayed Man Gui, and no matter how generous Man Gui was, he would be dissatisfied with him.
For example, some time ago, when he resisted Jiannu, Heiyunlong wanted to assist Sun Zushou in defense, but Wu Weiying and Xue Bao did not need to help, but in the name of the reserve team. Later, the left and right troops attacked Mongolian cavalry many times. Heiyunlong's former military camp could only be transferred to infantry and fought with Jiannu. Man Gui never considered letting the former military camp go out to fight. Regardless of whether Man Gui was willing to do this, Heiyunlong regarded it as a public revenge anyway. Therefore, Fang Zhenghua revealed a little idea, and Heiyunlong immediately wrote a memorial to the emperor, willing to assist Fang Zhenghua in rescuing Changping.
This time, Fang Zhenghua brought out all the troops of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Ten thousand infantry replaced the front and rear troops and guards of the cavalry camp, and nearly 10,000 cavalrymen brought out of the city to fight. In addition, Sun Zushou and Hei Yunlong's troops had a total force of up to 20,000. He fought with Jiannu with twice the strength. Fang Zhenghua did not have the courage to do so, so after Fang Zhenghua led his troops to occupy the vacant Changping City, he sent people to contact You Shigong, hoping to join forces to resist Jiannu.
At the same time, Founder-Chenghua also sent a good news and a secret letter to the capital. The good news of course means regaining Changping City occupied by Jiannu, and the secret letter is for Zhou Shixiong. I hope Zhou Shixiong can help him find a way to deal with the current dilemma.
If Fang Zhenghua had not come to Changping, it would not matter if the imperial tomb was destroyed, let alone the Dajin Archaeological Team was moved away. But when he came, he would have to share the responsibility of protecting the tomb guards. He would not be able to escape even if something happened to the imperial tomb.
"It's interesting now!" Zhou Shixiong laughed after reading Fang Zhenghua's request for help. Several dead graves trapped Ming Jun. In idiom, it was to throw a rat at snatching the rat. The most deadly mouse Jiannu is the most powerful rat. The cats of Ming Jun may not be able to defeat this big rat.
"What are you good ideas?" Zhou Shixiong handed over the secret letter to the five personal soldiers and asked them to find a way. A test of the reputation! Test whether they have carefully studied the Zhou military strategy during this period.
