my wife is mulan

If there are no combustibles such as sawdust, silk wadding, etc., the kerosene will not burn after splashing on the ground, but it will be easily ignited if it is mixed with these things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junsheng thinks this is indeed a good idea, but... once the tripods and pendulums on the city head are ignited, and the surrounding walls are also engulfed in flames, wouldn't the trapped soldiers also die? Can't survive?

The supervisor of the siege battalion said: "The fire oil cans sent by the craftsman camp can be smashed and burned on the ground, but once the top of the city is on fire, the soldiers trapped at the top of the city may also be buried in the fire!"

Zhao Junsheng looked around and asked, "Where is Wang Huilong? Today's attacking soldiers will be his men. Where has he gone?"

Gao Xu clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, just now General Wang lost control of his emotions. He was afraid that he might do something, so he knocked him out and sent someone back to the camp!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, and ordered: "Gao Xu, go and send orders to those trapped soldiers and generals, pass on the king's military orders, let them go from here

Jumping off the wall to get out of trouble, if they are injured and disabled, the government will take care of them for the rest of their lives, and take care of their heirs. If they are unlucky...this king will also pay for their families with their meritorious deeds! "

Gao Xu clasped his fists and promised: "The general will obey!"

He quickly turned around and got on his horse and galloped towards the city wall.

The messenger conveyed Gao Xu's order and repeated Zhao Junsheng's original words loudly to the soldiers trapped on the city wall who were still fighting desperately.

"Hahaha... Your Majesty is benevolent, but we cannot live! A soldier should die standing up, how can he spend the rest of his life paralyzed on a hospital bed? I will thank you for your kindness, and I will be loyal to you in the next life! Brothers , kill me!"

"kill--"

At dusk, the battle ended, and the more than 600 soldiers trapped on the city wall would all be wiped out, but the Liu Song defenders also paid a heavy price of 500 people for this. This is what the guard Xue Tong never expected of.

At night, the army camp outside the city, handsome tent.

The butter in the oil lamp was crackling loudly, and the generals and the officials accompanying the army were separated on both sides, and each of them was calm and calm, not daring to vent their anger loudly.

Zhao Junsheng is on fire, and no one wants to make trouble for himself.

Seeing this, Hua Mulan knew that only she could speak to break the silence without being sent by Zhao Junsheng, so she said, "Today's battle is a crime not caused by war. So many brothers were killed in battle, and everyone feels bad It's not that General Gao's command is unfavorable, nor is it that General Wang is negligent. I think so, since we already have a way to deal with the enemy's suspension, we will use it tomorrow! If there are not enough fire oil tanks, order the craftsman battalion to rush to make a batch overnight. !"

At this time, the little school outside the door came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Wang Huilong has woken up and is asking to see you outside the tent!"

"Let him in!"

Wang Huilong had a sad face, and as soon as he came in, he knelt down in front of Zhao Junsheng and cried loudly: "My lord, brothers died a heroic death. The last general was incompetent and killed them. Please punish me, my lord!"

Chapter 638

Zhao Junsheng slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Wang Huilong, counting those who were trapped on the city wall and died in a fierce battle, our army lost nearly two thousand sons today. You made a mistake in command, and you deserve death. Come here, drag it out and behead it." !"

A few soldiers outside the tent walked in quickly to escort Wang Huilong and left. The officials and generals inside the tent had no friendship with Wang Huilong, and it was not easy to stand up and intercede for him when this kind of thing happened.

Zhao Junsheng covered his mouth and coughed twice, and glanced at Hua Mulan. Hua Mulan looked at it, smiled secretly, got up and said, "Wait a minute!"

Several soldiers stopped and turned to look at Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng.

Hua Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, our army suffered heavy casualties in today's battle. I have never experienced such a heavy casualty battle since I joined the Youzhou Army. There were no such heavy casualties. But I don’t think this can be attributed to General Wang Huilong. The soldiers in these battles were brought by General Wang from Xingyang. I believe that no one is more sad and painful than him. None of us thought of the city wall beforehand. Those large tripods and beams are used in this way, and the defenders have never used them. We have all been deceived and ignored. If we are guilty, we are all responsible, and General Wang cannot admit it alone!"

"Besides, it's only been seven days since the siege. Is it necessary to kill the general just because the battle is unfavorable for a while? This will have a greater impact on morale! Brother Junsheng, I think it's better to let General Wang take the crime and make meritorious service, and the siege will be fought tomorrow." Continue to let him command!"

Zhao Junsheng pretended to think about it and weighed it, waved to the soldiers who controlled Wang Huilong, let them go out, and said to Wang Huilong: "Wang Huilong, since my wife begged you, this king will not kill you for now, let you take the blame and make meritorious service!" The supervisor of the siege battalion proposed to use a wheeled trebuchet to launch fire oil tanks to attack the city wall. According to the craftsmen of the craftsman camp, this fire oil tank will burn quickly and in large areas after being smashed on the ground. This king and the generals They all agree that this should be able to destroy the defending army's defensive equipment that hangs heavy objects on a tripod and swings from side to side. You will still be in command of tomorrow's battle. I hope you will be brave and break through Linzi tomorrow!"

Wang Huilong escaped from death, but he didn't have much luck. He only thought about how to break through Linzi City and avenge those nearly [-] soldiers who died in battle.

"The last general takes orders. If you can't break the city in a battle tomorrow, you don't need an order from the king. The last general will come to see you himself!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Okay, let's stop here! Do you have anything else to say?"

Dongfang Chen stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think our army should take the lead in dealing with Tan Daoji. Now that there are more than 2 cavalry in our army staying here, it will not be of much use. In my opinion, it is better to send some troops. Take the initiative to attack and deter Tan Daoji, our cavalry is fast, even if they lose, they can withdraw at any time!"

During this period, Dongyang City was the state capital of Qingzhou. Dongyang City belonged to Dongyang County, which was also a county. Dongyang County only governed one county in Dongyang County, so Dongyang City was also called Qingzhou City.

Zhao Junsheng felt that Dongfang Chen's consideration was reasonable. He couldn't wait for Tan Daoji to bring 8 or [-] horses to reinforce or come to his door. If you make a countermeasure, the initiative is in your hands, unless you take an idle move first, which has no lethality.

Zhao Junsheng went to the map to check. It was Lu Xuanbo who came over and whispered something in his ear. After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng moved his eyes on the map, turned around and said to everyone: "There is good news and bad news. Good news It was Bai Jinguang who led [-] cavalry to block Du Chao in the city of Jeju, and set up a camp outside the city. Every day, he sent a small group of cavalry to ride horses and gallop back and forth outside the city, bow and shoot arrows, show off his might, and block the news from the outside world leading to Jeju. Du Chao was so frightened that he did not dare to move around in the city; he also ordered a small group of cavalry to practice in the camp all day, creating an momentum of thousands of people. In the past few days, all the cities under the jurisdiction of Jeju have surrendered!"

All the generals and officials were astonished after hearing this. How could this Bai Jinguang have such a strategy and courage?The entire territory of Jeju was captured with only [-] cavalry?

Cui Hao first reacted and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, General Bai has grown up enough to resist

One side! "

Everyone was also very happy, and congratulated Zhao Junsheng one after another. With only [-] cavalry, Du Chao was beaten like a tortoise in Jeju City, and he also conquered other cities except Jeju City. Until now, this Among the tens of thousands of troops, no general has such a record.

Dongfang Chen asked, "My lord, what is the bad news?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The bad news is that Sima of the Fuguo General's Mansion in the Southern Dynasty and Wang Xuanmo, the prefect of Pengcheng, led an army of [-] to the north and pointed directly at Jeju!"

This is indeed bad news. Except for Zhoucheng, all other cities in Jeju surrendered, and the Gan army did not actually occupy them. As soon as the Southern Dynasty Liu Song army arrived, those cities that surrendered would immediately fall to the Southern Dynasty Liu Song side. However, Bai Jinguang only had [-] cavalry in his hands. He had to keep an eye on Du Chao in Jeju City, and also deal with Wang Xuanmo's [-] Liu Song Army. The strength was really stretched.

If Bai Jinguang couldn't defend Jeju, Wang Xuanmo would be able to lead his troops eastward to Qizhou, which would pose too much threat to Zhao Junsheng's tens of thousands of troops.

Cui Hao asked: "Is there no news from Xiangzhou?"

Guo Yi replied: "General Zhang Xing and General Cao Jiao are still besieging Yecheng. The weather was bad a few days ago, and the fighting stopped for a while. Yecheng has high walls and thick walls, and Du Gui has the skilled defenders sent by the Southern Dynasty. The generals of Zhidao will assist in defending the city, and it will be difficult for our army to capture it for a while!"

Cui Hao thought for a while and said to Zhao Junsheng: "My lord, it seems that our army is going to divide our troops to reinforce General Bai!"

After listening, Zhao Junsheng stared at the map and thought.

After a long time, he turned around and ordered: "Gao Xu, I order you to lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, all with horses and light clothes, and carry five days of dry food, and rush to Kaiyang City at the fastest speed! After you succeed, The king will send someone to contact you, and the next order will be conveyed at that time!"

Gao Xu clasped his fists and agreed: "Take orders! The general will order to prepare dry food, arrows and simple tents and set off overnight!"

"Go!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, his eyes swept across the faces of the generals, and finally stopped on Yuan He's face, "General Yuan, I will give you [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to go to Jeju to deal with Wang Xuanmo, and this king will order Bai Jinguang, Let him obey your restraint! The departure time and marching route are up to you. This king does not make hard and fast rules, but you must send someone to report to this king when the army passes by and stops.”

Yuan He has served for such a long time. Although Zhao Junsheng appointed him as the general of the whirlwind army, he has never assigned him a combat mission. This time he finally had the opportunity, and he immediately agreed with his hands clasped: "Obey!"

Zhao Junsheng's substantial decentralization of power has also greatly reduced Yuanhe's constraints, and he can let go of his hands and feet to work hard.

Dongfang Chen looked at the map, stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's deployment is really wonderful. Although Kaiyang City is not a big city, it is an important road for transportation. Taking Kaiyang City almost cut off the number of Tan Daoji. Tan Daoji must be in constant fear of the retreat of the Wan Dao army! When the time comes, the king will send his troops south to force Dongyang City, if Tan Daoji doesn't want to be trapped to death in Dongyang City, he can only flee south!"

"In addition, our army's capture of Kaiyang City can not only cut off Tan Daoji's return route, but also threaten Xuzhou. If Wang Xuanmo, the prefect of Pengcheng, knows that his old lair may be taken away, he still has the intention to go north to attack Jeju?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "That's it, it's getting late today, everyone get up early tomorrow!"

"Sir, please retire!"
