The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 473 The Consciousness That Cannon Fodder Should Have

Taiyuan City is the capital of the entire Jinzhou. It has a long history and difficult terrain. It is located on the east side of Taihang Mountain, and it is also an important town in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

Taiyuan City has high walls and thick walls, and a moat was dug, and water was diverted from the Fen River to pour into the moat. The city defense can be said to be impenetrable.

But today, the tranquility of this thousand-year-old city was broken by the sound of fighting.

At this time around Taiyuan City, the two armies were engaged in fierce offensive and defensive competition.

The attacking party was naturally the Western Expeditionary Army sent by Regent Jiang Chuan.

The defensive side is the defenders of the Dashun Army staying in Taiyuan City.

There were bursts of killing and rumbling gunfire, and the offensive and defensive competition between the two sides had been going on for a whole morning.

The city wall to the east of Taiyuan City was covered with mottled blood everywhere, and the moat under the city wall and both sides of the moat were piled up with corpses, including corpses in black armor and corpses in red armor

But generally speaking, the corpses in black armor look a lot more than the corpses in red armor.

A flag on the city wall stood still in the smoke. The flag was already a bit broken, with a big "Shun" written on it.

There are still countless figures in black armor pushing all kinds of siege equipment to continuously attack the city wall.

A ladder was propped up on the city wall, and soldiers in black armor quickly grabbed the ladder and climbed up.

The soldiers of the Dashun Army in red armor guarding the city wall were desperately defending, with all kinds of stone bows, arrows, and muskets.Cannons and other defensive weapons all greeted the climbing black figure.

Waves of black figures screamed and fell down from the ladder.

Finally, there was a clear and clear sound of gongs from the Qin army's camp in the distance. This was the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops.

In an instant, those black figures receded like the tide.

Seeing the enemy recede, the soldiers of the Dashun Army who were defending on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people sat down tiredly leaning against the city wall, regardless of the thick blood stains or all kinds of broken arms and limbs under their bodies.

After a whole morning of desperate defense, they were already exhausted, and they didn't care about these external things at all. Now they just wanted to take a good breath in order to meet the enemy's next attack.

On the city wall, a tall general of the Dashun Army, with his left hand on the saber at his waist, looked solemnly at the retreating enemy army without saying a word.
A young general with a fair complexion next to him looked at the general with a worried look on his face, and said comfortingly: "General, judging from the battle situation in the morning, the Qin army is not as strong and invincible as the rumors. Before the soldiers, because of the reputation of the Qin army, Outside, so I'm a little timid.

But after the battle in the morning, the soldiers will know that the Qin army is just a vain name.As long as the general leads the brothers to persevere, the city of Taiyuan will surely be held.As long as we hold on for a few days, His Majesty will definitely send reinforcements.At that time, when we attack from inside and outside, the Qin army will inevitably retreat. "

Seeing this young general with an optimistic face, the leading general showed a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "You are still too young. If Qin Jun was really in such a bad situation, the situation would not be as corrupt as it is today.

Your Majesty will not retreat to Shanzhou after a big defeat.According to the information I have received, this Qin Wang Jiangchuan has never had any defeat since he started his army. It can be said that he has won many battles and is a true general who always wins.

Qin Jun is a real elite teacher, a teacher of tigers and wolves.Sooner or later, this city of Taiyuan cannot be kept.You, I just did my best today. "

Seeing the general's pessimism, the young general said with a look of indignation and puzzlement: "Why should the general build up other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige? If the Qin army is really invincible as it is said in the legend, why is it in the hands of our army in the morning?" Returning with a feather. Are all the corpses all over the floor fake?"

The master general looked at the young and excited general before him, sighed, and said, "If your father hadn't had an old relationship with me and entrusted me to take care of you, I wouldn't have talked so much with you. Sun Tzu's art of war says: , The major events of the country, the place of life and death, must be observed. Marching and fighting is not simply a matter of you coming and going, it requires real wisdom and insight.

You look at the corpses of Qin Jun under the city wall, but do you see that these people are not the real elite descendants of Qin Jun at all?They are just servants wearing the armor of the Qin army.

If I expected correctly, the attack in the morning was just a tentative attack.The commander-in-chief of the Qin army just came to test our army's determination to guard the city.Wait until the afternoon for the real attack to begin. "

The young general was stunned, and murmured: "General, you mean that those who attacked the city this morning were Koreans and Mongols?"

Everyone in the world knows that Mongols and Koreans are not good at attacking cities.

But the general had already turned his head and walked to the distance at this time, and began to inspect and comfort the surviving soldiers on the city wall, and no one went to answer him.

After the Qin army retreated back to the camp, Bai Shan, who was standing on the tall cloud chariot in the distance, smiled at the lieutenant general Bige next to him and said, "What did you see after the attack and defense this morning?"

Knowing that the general is testing himself, Bige said sternly: "According to the observation of the general, although the Dashun army seems to be in a posture of co-existing with the city, the general thinks that they are already at the end of their battle. As long as our army increases With a fire, this city can be destroyed within a day."

Bai Shan nodded and said: "That's right. So let the soldiers eat and rest now, and continue to attack the city after eating."

Bigger said: "General, should the Mongolian and North Korean servants continue to attack the city in the afternoon? They have suffered a lot of casualties in the morning."

Bai Shan smiled slightly, and said: "Our own people will go up in the afternoon. Letting them attack the city in the morning is just to test the enemy's determination and firepower. In addition, let these servants know who is the master and who is the servant.

Since you are a servant, you cannot let the master do all the work.Otherwise, what's the use of having these servants? "

Biggle instantly understood what the general said.

Indeed, the Qin army is basically victorious in all battles now.

From the capital city to the attack on the Taiyuan city, the prefectures and counties along the way were basically invincible, either fleeing or surrendering on the spot.

Even if the Qin army had a little resistance, they were scared out of their wits as soon as they fired a few artillery pieces on these cities.

So this way, these Mongolian and Korean servants can be said to be extremely relaxed, just following behind the Qin army to pick up cheap.

And because the victory came too easily and the battle line was too long, the military discipline of these Mongolian servants and Korean servants was a bit lax.

Although they were punished by Jiang Chuan before, as time went by, these people began to heal their scars and forget the pain, and did a lot of things that violated military discipline.

So this morning, Baishan arranged for them to attack the city first, with the intention of testing the enemy's firepower and punishing them.

Baishan stood still in the morning, letting them continue to be killed and injured.Anyone who retreats will be killed on the spot.

In Jiang Chuan's words, cannon fodder must have the usefulness of cannon fodder and the consciousness of cannon fodder.

Since they themselves are not enlightened, they must be forced to become enlightened.
