During the Western Expedition, Wu Jie's tactics of attacking the city of Ghazni, the capital of King Ghazni, were included in the case of siege of the Imperial Military Academy.

Traditional methods of siege use ladders, people, or long-term sleepiness.

But Wu Jie used a deterrent tactic, which first caused a fatal impact on the enemies in the city from a psychological level.

Let the enemy collapse without fighting, thus greatly weakening the combat effectiveness.

As Lu You said in the book "Discussion of War": In the military strategy, there is no constant force and no constant water. When Wu Jie attacked the Royal City of Gazni, he adopted strong psychological pressure based on the artillery owned by the Chinese army. This tactic can only be used when there are powerful and sufficient artillery. It must be coordinated with internalized means, such as using surrenders to persuade peace parties in the city. Otherwise, there may be a situation where the whole city is fighting to the death, which will bring great pressure to the subsequent fierce battle and cause more casualties.

The internalization here is the news about Amu Muzaffar's surrender spread within the Ghazni royal city before the siege, and bribery of the interests damaged, causing internal estrangement.

In this way, when siege, once the situation is tight, the lurking surrenders will jump out and bewitch the civilians, thus chasing the situation in the city and further disintegrating the fighting will in the city.

The sky is cloudless, and the sun shines on the earth without any obstruction.

The eagle of the past avoided it and dared not circle over the city of Ghazni.

The dense cannons crossed the sky, burning the air, rolling into heat waves, and bombarding the city walls.

A powerful empire was once born here, and the iron cavalry here once swept across the Western Regions, and even along the Mediterranean coast, causing Christians to groan, bleed and make the world tremble.

However, now, all the powerful wills were trampled to pieces in front of the Song army.

All obstacles are pushed!

At this moment, everyone in the city of Ghazni felt the strength of the enemy and the burning anger.

Finally, more rebellious voices appeared in the city: they were all Sultans. He surrendered to the Khitans and dealt with the Easterners, which caused us disaster! God! Please punish this foolish Sultan!

"That's right! Sultan stepped down!"

"Surrender!"

"The Imperial Guard Brigade cannot protect us, our property is threatened, and this disaster is a man-made disaster!"

"For the sake of his own selfish desires, the Sultan surrendered to the Khitan and betrayed the will of God!"

"Surrender!"

"We don't want to fight!"

"Surrender!"

“…”

"No! Those Orientals will kill us all by the open city and surrender!"

"Yes! Have you forgotten the holy war? The pagans are the devils! We only have bloody battles to the end! Fight for God!"

"No! I saw Governor Amu Muzaffar in the army of the Orient, who was still alive and promoted, and the Orient did not kill him!"

"I have been to the East several times to buy silk. Orientals have a gentle personality. They generally do not kill people indiscriminately. As long as we surrender, Governor Amu will protect us!"

...

"Don't fight! Open the door and surrender!"

"Don't fight! Open the door and surrender!"

"Don't fight! Open the door and surrender!"

"Don't fight! Open the door and surrender!"

...

"Destroy the Khitans!"

"Destroy the Khitans!"

"Destroy the Khitans!"

...

Voices of anti-war and peace talks spread rapidly in the city, and more and more civilians took to the streets and shouted loudly.

Even the ten-year-old child shouted: "We want peace!"

Obviously, this war extended to the political diplomacy of the Kingdom of Ghassin, and all the pressure was attributed to the attitudes of the Sudan and Zai against the Khitans.

boom……

Finally, the city wall was bombarded and cracked, and a place appeared in the city tower.

Gravel splashed out with the shock wave and continued like a heavy rain.

The soldiers who had not had time to hide were hit on the spot.

Some had their heads blooming, while others had their bones broken.

The city gate had barely maintained order and finally collapsed.

Sultan Abu Muzaffar and Prime Minister Yeri Muzhasi were the first to shout: "Escape!"

Panic and despair spread like a plague.

The soldiers turned around and ran away, and there were crowds of people on the narrow streets.

Some people even lost their minds in despair and began to pull out their swords and stab and chop the people in the road ahead.

Suddenly, screams burst into tears.

"What should I do? Your Excellency General, it's completely in chaos!"

"Mobilize the main force to the palace and city hall to prepare for street fighting and make the enemy pay the price of bleeding!" Sunnyer's eyes revealed his perseverance and determination.

"yes!"

The defensive line in front of the city gate has completely collapsed, and all that is left is panic and escape.

"God of General, something is wrong. The civilians and merchants in the city are in chaos. They say that we will hand over the Sultan and the Prime Minister!"

"What's going on?"

"They think that the Sultan and the Prime Minister colluded with the Khitans, which caused the war, and they wanted to exchange the Sultan and the Prime Minister for peace!"

"Bastard! The war has begun! How can the enemy give us peace! Even pagans will slaughter us, and those who have no faith are even more cruel and inhumane!"

In fact, Sunnier was a pro-war faction from beginning to end, and what he called peace talks were all delaying strategies.

Unfortunately, Abu Muzaffar and Yeli Muzhaxi are eager to succeed.

From the bottom of their hearts, they do not believe in people without faith, they are human.

God spreads human nature and civilization to the human world.

How can those who do not believe in God have civilization and human nature?

"But..." A trace of hesitation flashed in the officer's eyes, "Governor General Amu, surrendered, but..."

"Shut up!" Sunnyer interrupted, "Prepare to fight to the death with those who have no faith!"

"yes!"

Wu Jie was not in a hurry to attack the city.

At this moment, the city was in chaos and was in a hurry to attack, and it could not quickly and effectively attack the living forces in the city.

Let them consume it inside first, and it will not be too late to go in until the enemy is exhausted.

It is very necessary to arrange two teams of light cavalry to surround them from the side to prevent the Sultan from escaping from other city gates.

The setting sun sank into the horizon, dyeing the west side blood red.

The sky slowly darkened, and the wind in the distance was no longer as hot as it was during the day.

There were shouts and killings everywhere in the city.

The city of Ghazni, which was once prosperous, is now in chaos.

By night, flames had already burned in the city.

People are talking about peace talks and bloody battles to the end, and conflicts first occur within.

The dispute between the two factions between the nobles evolved into ordinary civilians.

When the situation came to this point, Wu Jie began to divide his troops and completely surround the city of Ghazni, locking the gates on all sides.

The siege lasted overnight.

The next morning, the city was already in chaos.

The shops in the past were smashed and smashed, and the clean streets were full of dead bodies.

The child sat on the street corner and could only cry helplessly.

Ghazni City's resistance was greatly weakened by itself.

The infantry armor of the Third Army of the Second Legion began to enter the city from the main gate.

This is an elite infantry under Liu Qi's command, and has had many impressive results.
