Chapter 38: Stomach on Li Guangbi
Nanyang Chengguan.
The city tower was filled with sweat and blood, and the city tower was covered with blood.
The city tower is a little better. Except for the dark red that has penetrated into the city bricks and cannot be washed away, it has been cleaned by the people in the city.
However, the corpses under the city tower were unsupervised, piled up like mountains, and crows and vultures who like to eat carrion were hovering in the sky.
In order to avoid the occurrence of the plague, Zhang Xun threw torches of wood down the city tower many times to burn the body.
However, the bodies far away from the city tower are inconvenient to burn, and they can only be allowed to do so.
It is the hot season now, and the body lets the sun shine in the daytime and emits a scent of disgusting smell.
In this harsh environment, Zhang Xun was giving a lecture: there were dozens of generals sitting in front of him.
"I have said before that the way to defend the city is to 'active defense and take the initiative'. The most important thing in defending the lonely city is not to defend, but attack. Keeping a blind eye on the dead will only fall into eternal passiveness and greatly affect morale... If all the soldiers in the city lose their confidence, how can they defend? What I want to talk about today is the importance of morale..."
"Defending the city is the most difficult. The biggest enemy is not the opponents everywhere outside the city, but yourself. Time will destroy a person's fighting spirit and courage. Only by repelling yourself and making yourself fearless can you affect the people around you."
Zhang Xun was far-sighted. He led the remnants to the Central Plains. Not only did he not destroy the enemy dozens of times his own, he won again and again, and achieved the final victory by great wisdom and courage.
There are four gates in Nanyang City, but Zhang Xun only has one, so it is impossible to ensure that everything is covered.
Therefore, whenever he had free time, Zhang Xun taught his subordinates the way to defend the city and the method of using troops.
It is to avoid the second Zhang Xun who was unable to take into account both of them.
Zhang Xun defended the world by guarding a city. As an unparalleled defensive master in the world, he did not give An Lushan any opportunity to take advantage of.
In history, Zhang Xun defended the small Suiyang, and even let the rebels return in vain. Now he is in charge of Jiancheng, Nanyang, so how can An Lushan have a chance?
Rebel camp.
An Lushan looked at Nanyang, which was still, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
They paid nearly 30,000 yuan for three days and three nights of attack.
The 30,000 sacrifice did not bring any results.
This Nanyang is only 10,000 soldiers, and he has an army of 130,000.
With such a huge gap in strength, he actually achieved such a result.
An Lushan's eyes did not have the initial anger, only the word "fear".
He killed Yang Chaozong before because he feared that Yang Chaozong would not move forward, which would damage the morale of the army, but was coerced by life, so Yang Chaozong attacked desperately.
Their performance was excellent, and An Lushan was also very satisfied, and even forgot to kill him.
But Nanyang just doesn't move at all...
Nanyang cannot conquer, and there is no reason to interface, it is simply impossible to do it.
An Lushan even suspected that he could fight to the death of Nanyang after he fought all the remaining 100,000 troops in his hand?
At this moment, An Lushan had already felt a desire to retreat in his heart.
"His Majesty!"
Gao Shang, who was in charge of intelligence, came to the vicinity of An Lushan.
An Lushan said calmly: "There is no news about Ge Shuhan yet?"
He was already on the verge of getting angry. Pei Min had the killer move of Brother Shuhan, from the beginning, and saw through the Kung Yu Valley, Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang.
Originally, they thought that Geshuhan sent troops from Sichuan and Shu to cross the southeastern Shu Road, which was traveling south, would take a month's itinerary, and they had enough time to attack Nanyang City.
But he didn't expect that Ge Shuhan actually requisitioned all the ships to build the Leshan Giant Buddha and his troops were divided into two groups.
He personally led his troops down the Yangtze River and arrived directly at Jiangling, and then rushed north along the Han River to Nanyang.
The speed was so fast that it was completely beyond An Lushan and the others' expectations.
But just after Geshuhan entered Xiangshui, the 20,000 soldiers disappeared.
They completely lost the trace of Geshuhan's reinforcements.
An Lushan's patience has reached its limit.
Gao Shang couldn't wait to say: "The trace of Geshuhan has been discovered. They did not go north directly. Instead, they turned east from the tributary of the Xiang River to Jianghuai."
An Lushan suddenly felt inexplicable. Ge Shuhan didn't come to support Nanyang and went to Jianghuai?
For a moment, An Lushan was a little moved.
They paid a heavy price to attack Nanyang. However, the defenders of Nanyang City were not feeling well.
It is difficult to estimate how many casualties there were, but at least the soldiers on the city were more or less injured.
This makes the wounded soldiers go into battle, which is no less than driving the people to defend the city.
If you really want to fight, Nanyang may not be able to get the support of troops.
An Lushan couldn't wait to gather his civil and military officials in one place, saying Ge Shuhan's inexplicable actions.
Linghu Chao couldn't help but say, "This brother Shuhan has a grudge against Zhang Xun, but he doesn't save him when he sees death?"
Xu Guidao suddenly said, "The last general thinks it is not that simple. I am afraid that the other party knows that we will not be able to take Nanyang in the short term and bypass our main force to attack our flanks. Have you noticed that we have surrounded the Tang army now. Needless to say, Zhang Xun's hard bone is stuck in the south. Li Guangbi is in the west, and this person is not famous in the Central Plains. However, the battle in the Western Regions is shining, which is not easy to deal with. There is Hedong Guo Ziyi in the north, and the weakest place of the Tang army is originally, but once Ge Shuhan goes, an encirclement between the four generals will form a trapped encirclement between us."
An Lushan looked at Xu Guidao for two more eyes.
Yan Zhuang said bitterly: "General Xu's analysis is reasonable and well-founded. If Nanyang still cannot be captured, we will soon become a turtle in the jar."
Shinyugu coughed uncomfortable and said, "It's meaningless to fight all the troops and take down one Nanyang now. Nanyang has become a useless person, so it's better to retreat."
An Lushan was upset and shouted, "Retreat, where can he retreat now?"
Shinyugu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is beyond your reach. What you see is the Tang army besieging us. What I see is the fighter plane, the fighter plane that turns the world around. Pei Min was too arrogant. He gave his troops to Wang Zhongsi to attack Arabia. This led to the embarrassing situation of no soldiers available. Now, he did not gather superior forces to make up for his shortcomings. Instead, he divided his troops into four parts, and he forced himself to divide his few troops into four parts. Zhang Xun, Geshuhan, Li Guangbi, and Guo Ziyi. Their forces combined are not as good as us. What's more, they are divided into four groups now?"
"No matter how many times he comes, I will only go all the way! We still have 100,000 troops, and we have an absolute advantage in dealing with any of Zhang Xun, Geshuhan, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi alone."
