- Although Zhang Xianzhong suffered close to 10,000 casualties, most of them belonged to cannon fodder, that is, forced laborers.
These folk husbands are miserable. They were originally farming at home, but they were dragged to transport luggage for no reason. Not to mention the transportation. When attacking the city, you have to be cannon fodder. If you don't go to attack the city, you will be hacked to death by the supervising team.
? Li Zicheng fought while fleeing, and the situation is similar.
"History of the Ming Dynasty" said that Li Zicheng's tactics were "three walls", but the actual situation was "five layers of positions". The front line is full of coerced refugees, the second and third army formations are infantry, the fourth army formation is cavalry, and the fifth army formation is Xiaoqi.
It is obviously a method of warfare that violates military common sense. If the refugees in front are defeated, shouldn't they destroy the infantry formation?
However, the actual impact is not significant.
?Because the infantry has long been used to the refugees breaking up, they will not follow them psychologically and morale. The refugees will not flee back, because they know that Li Zicheng's soldiers are going to kill people, who would dare to charge in the densely packed gun formation? When they collapsed, they fled to both sides.
?Use the large array of refugees to consume the strength of the officers and soldiers, and wait for the refugees to disperse, and then let the infantry go up, and the cavalry and cavalry took the opportunity to circle around the flanks.
If the refugees really crushed their own infantry, Li Zicheng would flee immediately with Xiaoqi and cavalry.
Anyway, refugees are consumables, and Zhang Xianzhong's husband is also a consumable.
Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000-strong army attacked the city for half a month, only killing or injuring more than a thousand people, all of whom were killed or injured by the ten thousand enemies.
At night, Shi Yongen couldn't fall asleep.
He was sent by Xu Ying to Hubei as a spy, and he went to his relatives and became an apprentice in a dyeing workshop¡ªa real relative, a real apprentice.
Three months ago, Shi Yongen went out of the city with his relatives, and went to the outskirts of the city to celebrate the birthday of his relative's old mother. It happened that he met a forced conscript man, and he was arrested in a daze, and worked hard for Zhang Xianzhong to transport the luggage all the way.
One hundred thousand troops, two hundred thousand civilians, and Shi Yongen is definitely not the only one who is involved in the secret work of the civilians.
?Because Shi Yongen was relatively strong, he was also incorporated into the siege battalion and participated in the siege twice. Every time he attacked the city, he was very timid, hiding behind the arrow-proof wooden boards of the ladder, ignoring the scolding of the supervising team, he took a long time to climb the ladder, and then quickly fled. After fleeing halfway back, he met the supervising team and immediately rushed to the city wall.
There are many civilians who do this, as long as they don't collapse completely, the supervising team doesn't bother to take care of it. Anyway, I didn't intend to let the civilian husbands attack the towers, as long as they can consume the supplies for defending the city.
That being the case, Shi Yongen's arm was also scalded by hot oil, and part of the wound had already begun to fester.
Shi Yongen didn't resent Xu Ying, and sent him to Zhang Xianzhong's site as a spy. Because Shi Yongen's family had already divided the land, his elder brother received a special arrangement and was directly promoted to be a member of the county yamen, and now he has become the chief of the engineering department. And my sister, who married a county magistrate as a sequel, will definitely live a good life in the future.
It would be great if I could go back alive.
"Uncle Cao, are you asleep?" Shi Yongen asked in a low voice.
Uncle Cao was a farmer in his forties. He sighed and said, "How can I sleep? If I attack the city tomorrow, I'm afraid I will die under the city."
The civilian husbands could not escape, and were divided into several groups, specially arranged in the center of the camp, with Zhang Xianzhong's regular army in all directions.
Shi Yongen said: "It is estimated that there will be a war tonight, and we will be making preparations in the evening. If all the soldiers go to attack the city, we will take the opportunity to escape and call on more civilians. If there is a big mess, we will definitely not be able to catch it."
"This was caught and was about to be beheaded!" Uncle Cao said in horror.
Shi Yongen asked: "If you don't escape tonight, you will die if you attack the city tomorrow. How can it be more cost-effective to die?"
Uncle Cao replied: "It's not worth it."
Shi Yongen said: "There is still a chance of survival if you escape, but if you continue to attack the city, you will definitely die. Which one do you choose?"
Uncle Cao thought seriously, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then run away!"
"Take me with you when you run away." A siege battalion cannon fodder named Zeng Ayang next to him suddenly said.
"Okay, let's run away together, the more people the better."
Shi Yongen quietly crawled out again, took a few steps and said in a low voice: "Old Li, are you afraid of death? If you go to attack the city again, you will definitely die"
The city guard of Guangji, Wang Hui, was originally the silly son of a landlord in Liuyang County.
The scholarly family didn't study hard, and he didn't even pass the exam as a scholar. He was chasing chickens and dogs since he was a child. When he was a teenager, he started to play with knives and sticks, and even rode the family donkey as a horse, saying that he wanted to practice riding and archery.
A few years ago, bandits from Jiangxi crossed the border to plunder.
Under the leadership of Feng Zuwang, the county magistrate, Wang Hui recruited the courage of the village to resist desperately. He personally beheaded the head of the thief and "flyed to the sky".
Followed by Datong Army?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.
The old Huihui subordinate replied: "About two or three thousand, most of them don't wear armor, and only use a gun to run far away to release the gun. But there are hundreds of cavalry, and those horses are tall and strong, and they are very serious. Armor, the vital parts of the horse are also armored."
Zhang Xianzhong asked: "How tall can those horses be?"
The man said: "It is much taller than the king's mount."
"There are hundreds of war horses that tall?" Zhang Xianzhong asked in surprise.
The man said: "Not only are they tall and strong, but they also charge very fast. They also have infantry, marching on mules, specially blocking the way of my general, and preventing my general from bringing cavalry back to join us."
Zhang Xianzhong wondered: "Even if infantry ride mules, they shouldn't catch up with old Huihui cavalry."
The man said: "The enemy army has sentry cavalry everywhere. Each team of these sentry cavalry has only two people. They don't carry any weapons. They march lightly and run very fast. They don't dare to fight. They run away when they encounter our army, and then Run to the nearby market towns to light up the smoke and spread the message. Those towns have dug trenches outside, and there are many farmers, soldiers and people guarding them, and our cavalry cannot attack."
As he said that, the man said anxiously: "Our army is all cavalry, and we don't bring much food and grass, and we couldn't grab food along the way. We ran out of food two days ago."
Zhang Xianzhong was silent.
Sun Kewang said anxiously: "Father, it's not an option to encircle the city with one hundred thousand elites and two hundred thousand peasants. Why don't you divide your troops and march eastward"
"Where do you go east? The first three counties are the same as here. There are no people in the wild. Are you going to divide your troops and attack the city?" Zhang Xianzhong asked back.
Sun Kewang said: "The spies reported that there are many market towns in the wild. Let's not attack the cities, but only attack these market towns."
Zhang Xianzhong sighed: "The main force of the enemy army has not shown up, I am afraid it is trying to lure me to divide the troops. Once you lead the troops out, it is very likely that you will be surrounded, and you will not be able to return if you want to."
Sun Kewang thought about it carefully, and felt that it was true.
This battle was fought so badly that Guangji County had to be pulled out, so as to keep the grain road safe. Even if they don't care about the issue of food roads, this is also the channel for their withdrawal. If they don't take Guangji City, they won't be able to withdraw their troops once they lose the battle.
However, after beating Nima for more than half a month, the opponent's regular army has not been seen, and the county seat is still standing there safely.
In the evening of the same day, Lao Hui came back with his cavalry, and said in a panic, "I came back by a detour. Zhao Han's cavalry is disgusting, and the infantry riding on mules with a large number of sentry cavalry is also disgusting. I lost two hundred of my cavalry." Many, they didn¡¯t die in battle at all, but were exhausted from food and hunger! Quickly order the rebellion, I haven¡¯t eaten for two days!¡±
Zhang Xianzhong ordered the Huotou army to rebel, first brought some pancakes to satisfy their hunger, and asked: "How many cavalry are there in the enemy?"
"In the beginning there were only more than two thousand, and later there were a thousand more, and there were hundreds of heavy armored cavalry." Lao Hui said.
Zhang Xianzhong asked: "Are they all much taller than my mount?"
The old Huihui said: "It's not just tall. Compared with those war horses, our war horses are like mules! This battle can't be fought. We can't see people in the field, and we can't get food. The enemy army has no horses at all except cavalry. Come out to fight, just wait for us to attack the city. This Guangji City cannot be taken down, how dare you divide your troops to attack other places?"
Sun Kewang said: "Father, I'm afraid the situation in the north is similar, and Dingguo can only attack the city by force like this."
It is easier to clear the fields with strong walls in the north. The drought in that poor area is severe. This year, it has been clear that there is no harvest.
Old Huihui said: "When we are exhausted from attacking the city and our morale drops, the main force of the enemy army should come out. Moreover, the enemy army controls the Yangtze River and may send the main force behind us at any time. At that time, we will not be able to withdraw even if we want to. This battle is impossible. Fight, quickly withdraw the entire army!"
Wouldn't it be a big joke to withdraw troops now?
The three-way army totaled 200,000, and the civilian husbands spent nearly 400,000. Didn't take down a city, didn't grab a grain of rice, just go back in despair like this?
Damn Zuo Liangyu, why didn't he go south to help?
There is also Luo Rucai, who made an appointment to go south together!
? Zuo Liangyu was facing the plague in Shandong. He didn't dare to move, and the rear would explode if he moved. Moreover, the soldiers were often infected with diseases, so they couldn't fight at all.
Luo Rucai actually dispatched troops, and came down for a walk. After running two counties in a row, they found that there was no food to grab, and they didn't dare to go too deep, so they simply rolled back to the hinterland of Henan with the cavalry.
"This Zhao is really shameless!" Zhang Xianzhong hated him.
In the south and the north, six or seven counties with strong walls and clear fields consume enough food to fight a big battle!
Zhao Han just doesn't want to fight, he just wants to waste food to save the people, and drag the enemy to exhaustion before fighting.
It doesn't matter if Zhang Xianzhong drives straight in, it's better to go all the way to the prefectures and counties where there is no strong wall to clear the country. When the time comes to stay away from the territory, the battle line will be stretched, and you can find countless opportunities to defeat it.
Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Attack for another three days, if you can't defeat them, withdraw your troops and let the miners speed up digging tunnels. As long as you break through Guangji City, you will definitely be able to get countless food and grass!"
(Ask for a monthly pass.)
