Chapter 67: All three battles are defeated(1/2)
In the attack on Fuzhou Gate, although Zhu Jiajun suffered heavy casualties, Chen Youliang's troops did not gain any substantial benefits.
It is even said that Chen Youliang's troops were completely defeated when faced with the Fuzhou Gate, which was like a piece of iron that could not be beaten or destroyed.
It is basically impossible for a huge army of 600,000 soldiers and horses to fight against a small city gate with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack continuously for five days and five nights without making any progress.
When Chen Youliang's report was placed in front of him, I thought that there would inevitably be a sense of frustration in his mind.
It was a kind of defeat that was close to a blow to the head, and the sense of loss that was enough to distort his psychology would definitely leave a permanent scar in his psychology that would never go away.
For Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu, they are undoubtedly the victors.
Facing the thug Chen Youliang, they have won two battles.
It was under such a war situation that one side was happy and the other was worried. The city wall had been completely repaired and the Chen family army, who saw no hope of destroying the city, finally announced a temporary withdrawal.
In the battle at Fuzhou Gate, Zhu's army won a complete victory.
If Prime Minister Hu Mei's rebellion was a humiliation for Chen Youliang, then the battle at Fuzhou Gate was even more humiliating.
A rotten place where birds can't poop and chickens can't lay eggs. In my opinion, a broken city gate that can collapse with a kick and collapse with a splash of urine has actually resisted several rounds of attacks by 600,000 of his troops.
And remain standing.
This result is absolutely unacceptable to Chen Youliang, who has always been arrogant and domineering.
After the Battle of Fuzhou Gate, Chen Youliang, as the defeated party, should also conduct psychological reflection.
He will inevitably re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Hongdu City defenders.
This group of troops with less than 40,000 soldiers and horses in front of him was once looked down upon in his heart. Faced with his 600,000 soldiers and horses who could not withstand a single attack and would be destroyed and collapsed, Chen Youliang had to let Chen Youliang take it seriously.
stand up.
Facing the situation of defeat, Chen Youliang was no longer in a hurry to attack the city.
Instead, while resting and reorganizing the troops, they changed their offensive strategy.
At the same time, Chen Youliang, who has re-judged the opponent's strength, is plotting a bigger battle.
He ordered his generals Jiang Bisheng and Rao Dingchen to lead part of the army to attack Ji'an and use it as a base for his rear defense.
And Jiang Bisheng did not disappoint Chen Youliang. He not only captured Ji'an, but also captured Linjiang not far from Ji'an.
Along with Ji'an and Linjiang, three soldiers guarding Linjiang were captured.
They are: Zhao Tianlin, **, Huang Ruyuan.
Faced with the three people who refused to obey, the three people who had already tried their best to go through several rounds of almost brainwashing political speeches but still preferred death. Jiang Bisheng, who had completely lost his patience and lost his mind, did not directly chop off their heads.
Instead, they suddenly thought of using them as military merit.
Baili personally escorted the three men and handed them into the hands of Chen Youliang.
At this time, Chen Youliang, who was already furious, faced these three guys who dared to disturb Tai Sui, and made a stupid decision that was almost crazy but in my opinion a bit mindless.
He first sent Jiang Bisheng back to guard Ji'an. When sending Jiang Bisheng, Chen Youliang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, should have said some nonsense about your contribution, "you are my true friend," and such nonsense that has no political nutrition at all. At the same time, he should also
He has had some promotions in positions, but these are false positions and not a real delegation of power.
After doing this, let him go back and forth from where he came. I am busy now and have no time to talk to you.
After sending Chiang Bisheng away, Chen Youliang made a decision that I thought was extremely stupid.
He took Zhao Tianlin, Zhao Tianlin, and Huang Ruyuan, who had been captured by force, to the gates of Hongdu City, and chopped off their heads with both sides' troops fully deployed.
The fundamental reason why I say that what Chen Youliang did was irrational and even stupid is that by doing so, he directly told the Hongdu City defenders that their end today will be your end tomorrow.
I guess Chen Youliang’s general meaning at that time was: If you, these idiots, go against me, I will kill you all!
Faced with this political declaration, all the Hongdu City defenders could do was to resist desperately.
There is no other way but to resist desperately.
This is the fundamental reason why I think Chen Youliang made the wrong move.
What he did was equivalent to blocking the retreat of the soldiers who originally wanted to surrender but had not yet made up their mind to surrender. Faced with a dilemma, all they could do was confront Chen Youliang head-on.
That is to say, after doing this reckless and stupid thing, Chen Youliang, who was ready to go, issued the order to attack again.
This time, the object he chose was no longer the Fuzhou Gate, which had already suffered psychological shadows and psychological trauma, but could not be knocked down or broken. Instead, he chose the new city gate with a relatively remote location and relatively weak defense as his new target.
attack target.
After determining the offensive target, Chen Youliang appointed Pingzhang Liu Jinzhao as the offensive commander and Zhao Xiang as the deputy commander to coordinate the attack on the new city gate.
At this time, the general guarding the gate of the new city was named: Xue Xian.
If Deng Yu used human sea tactics and powerful weapon suppression strategies in military command, then the tactics used by Xue Xian were extremely classic military tactics.
Facing the menacing Chen Youliang's troops, Xue Xian, who was guarding the new city gate, was not timid at all.
Xue Xian used his true strength to teach Chen Youliang a truly vivid and colorful individual assault lesson.
It also allows us to truly understand the true meaning of the idea that as a soldier, a man, and a strong man, the best defense is offense.
When Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses arrived at the gate of the new city, Xue Xian, who should have closed the gate tightly and resisted the incoming troops without stepping out of the gate, did not do so.
When everyone was taking the ladder as a matter of course and preparing to play a head-to-head military game with the opponent, Xue Xian unexpectedly led his soldiers and horses out of the city gate.
Before everyone could realize what was going on with the other party, they all thought that they had experienced a delusion and had hallucinations. The other party's brain must have been squeezed by a door and kicked by a donkey. Such nonsense cannot happen at all.
At the moment, the opponent's men and horses, which were like a surprise attack, had already arrived in front of the enemy.
Along with the soldiers and horses, there were dozens of iron-blooded scimitars that had been sharpened and polished, ready for a blood-drinking orgy.
When everyone was surprised and confused about what the other party wanted to do this time, Xue Xian and his men had already raised the scimitars they were holding tightly in their hands.
At the moment when the scimitar was raised and lowered, the person who won the first prize was Liu Jinzhao, the siege commander who was standing at the front.
Liu Jinzhao, who had no reaction at all, nor any mental preparation or fighting preparation, was beheaded by Xue Xian, who was rushing at the front, the moment the opponent raised the knife.
Standing behind Liu Jinzhao, the second-in-command Zhao Xiang, who was also a general in name but only an auxiliary and not the leader, was pleased to win the second prize. At the moment Liu Jinzhao was beheaded from his horse, he was strategically captured by the people behind Xue Xian.
After everything was done, Xue Xian, who seemed to be satisfied and had successfully completed his task, escorted Zhao Xiang, who was already on death row, back to Hongdu City under the watchful eyes of the other party.
Following the battle report of the two coaches, one was killed and the other was captured.
The Chen Jiajun, who was originally full of momentum but was now frightened to the point of peeing on the bed and wilting, faced with no commander and no backbone. The Chen Jiajun had no choice but to choose a strategic retreat.
In the battle of New City Gate, another complete victory was achieved.
Faced with the situation of two defeats in two games, Chen Youliang, as the coach, was angry, completely furious. He looked at his group of 600,000 soldiers and horses, looked at the group of people in front of him, and watched what these people were doing.
Incompetent people who can't eat anything, their lungs are about to explode.
The fact that he had been in Hongdu for so long but could not even step through the city gate must have made him crazy in his heart.
Is such a place that seems to be no more than the size of a palm really a solid iron wall that cannot be penetrated with a knife or soaked with water?
Faced with the passive situation of two defeats in two battles, and faced with a city that in his opinion was completely unviable and could not organize a decent defense, Chen Youliang, who was completely furious and mad, ordered his men to urgently build a batch of new tools.
After the tool casting was completed, Chen Youliang set his sights on one place.
A place that says the door is a door but says it is neither a door nor a door.
This place is called: Shuiguan.
The real use of this water gate should be similar to an emergency outlet for flood discharge in our city.
During the flood season, it can be used for emergency flood discharge, and during the dry season, it can provide food and grass for people and horses to travel together.
Chen Youliang, who had already lost two battles and lost two battles again, looked at the city gate in Hongdu City that was almost impossible to attack with a single iron bucket. He had completely lost his patience and would definitely start from here.
Minato is also a gate, if you can enter, you win.
Don't miss the opportunity; it will never come back.
Chen Youliang, who had already made up his mind and lost his patience, decided to take action immediately.
He ordered people to distribute the latest weapons he developed and built to everyone, which was a long spear that was lengthened and thickened. Chen Youliang was trying to use these new weapons to capture Shuiguan and then control Hongdu.
When Chen Youliang's soldiers poured into Shuiguan, a group of people had been waiting here for a long time.
The leader was a stern young man covered in armor, not tall but with a resolute face, and a haggard face but with piercing eyes.
He is the true supreme commander among the few surviving generals in this city.
His name is: Zhu Wenzheng.
Facing Chen Youliang's endless attack, which was like a wheel battle, Zhu Wenzheng, who had not slept for several days and had no time to rest, had red eyes and weak body.
Since the rebellion, he has never experienced such a difficult battle.
Facing a group of pretty pink-headed girls from a brothel, he could fight for several days and still be active and lively. He didn't know what it was like to be tired. He didn't need to rely on any external force or drugs for biological stimulation. Facing the almost crazy attacks of the thug Chen Youliang, he
But I feel a little lack of energy and physical strength.
But even though he was tired, he was also excited.
Facing the thug Chen Youliang, Zhu Wenzheng, who despised him from the bottom of his heart, was already prepared for the worst.
The worst thing you can do is die. If you don't die, you will eventually come out.
Chen Youliang, come on if you have the guts!
