: The demons and snakes are full of true lotus

When the old charlatan smiled and said that King Lu was rushing to Liaodong for thousands of miles. Li Si was stunned at first, and then laughed and scolded: "How is this possible? It's either that King Lu was making trouble with the army, or you Wei Wuya was making trouble with Nandu intelligence..."

"My loyal uncle, will I mess with military information reports?" The old charlatan still looked smiling.

Li Si simply arranged a general framework for military information secret information. As for the specific and detailed matters, the old sage and others would also do it. In addition to hostile forces in all aspects, the targeted targets naturally include the Nandu.

In just over two days, you can get a detailed report from Nandu. This speed was relatively fast at that time. (It was not the fastest. Judging from the information, at almost the same distance, the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian's subordinates at that time passed information a little faster than the old charlatan.)

King Lu was just making trouble like this.

Not to mention how many troops he can send to the distant Liaodong, even if all of them can be safely arrived, even if they have the effect of a surprise attack, at most they can open up a little territory in the past few days. This kind of attack that is not continuous attacking can neither achieve any strategic results nor bring any advantages to one's own side. It is simply a joke about the lives of soldiers.

This is when everything goes well. If the suddenness of the strike cannot be achieved, or if there is any accident in the army across the sea, or if there is any downturn when landing, it is probably just a snack to deliver to others.

This kind of whimsical act of treating military affairs as a performer is actually not completely useless.

On the military level, even a fool cannot do such things. But when it comes to the political level, it may be of some effect.

The royal army in the court was trapped in Huaiyang, and the Lu Wang army traveled alone could indeed gain some popularity.

Apart from these, there is really no way to see if there is any need to be done like this.

The matter is at the core of the political level. As for whether the military victory or defeat and the sacrifices of those soldiers are valuable, I guess the court and King Lu are not very concerned about it.

Throughout the dynasties, such seemingly absurd things were happening in reality. At this time, Li Si would sigh at the wise decision to voluntarily withdraw from Jiangnan.

If you get involved with these people, you will have to get a lot of trouble just by making such a mess, and can you still do serious things?

Especially the current battle in Kaifeng is indeed an extremely important part of strategic arrangement. The troops who go to the death are busy with spanking their feet. How can they still care about those absurd and boring things?

The Battle of Kaifeng is far less exciting than the outside world's rumors, and there is no so-called 100,000 troops siege Kaifeng.

How many troops can the death-going army gather together? It is impossible to achieve a real siege.

Even now, only a few pilot battalions have truly seen Kaifeng's city defense, and other main forces have been cleaning the periphery.

As for Li Si, he had no intention of using the old method of Duoduo's attack on Yangzhou to attack Kaifeng. To be more precise, Li Si was really not interested in the tough battle of attacking cities.

Put your precious troops into the meat grinder in the tough battle. The troops of the dead are not as strong as this level, and Li Si will not really do this.

The forces that compete in this land, one by one, have a certain inexplicable fanaticism in capturing and mastering large cities, and even invest a large amount of troops in this kind of battle, even if they are buried in a million, they have to conquer the city. There may be many political needs, and there may be many meanings to add political chips to themselves. All of this is no longer a necessity for Li Si now.

Don’t care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and to the greatest extent possible to kill the enemy’s living power, that is, to consume the other party’s lives. This is the strategic idea that Li Si always pursues.

The original intention of the army to die is not to attack the city, but to kill people. Kaifeng City is at most a medium- and long-term goal or symbolic meaning. The strategic core and all tactical preparations surrounding this core are all for killing people.

Therefore, the main force of the army who went to the death has been wandering around Kaifeng, and it has been unable to stop cleaning up hostile forces from all over the country.

The more this happens, the more pressure the Kaifeng side will be, and the more it is believed that the army to die is preparing to seize Kaifeng.

As time goes by, the subsequent earthly branches of the Dead Army and the Huaiyang Army's Archery Battalion and other reserve forces arrived, which became even more powerful.

Especially the various teams such as the rebels and the clan and socialist party that were heard from all over the country, they bloomed like bamboo shoots after a rain, and then came to "attack" Kaifeng under the banner of various groups. The noisy spirit was much more lively than the army to die.

The incense burners, the gods, the great immortals possessed them, the senior brothers were wearing red and hanging colors, shaking bone bells, and they looked like crazy. With the cigarette smoke, one monster after another appeared, and once they were told, they could scare people.

You just hired a golden arhat to descend to the earth, and I could get a barefoot immortal possessed by you. If you can invite eight hundred arhats, I could summon 100,000 heavenly soldiers. Anyway, it was just a carefree god. Any god with a little fame is not very valuable. Any talisman can be "invite" down with just one talisman.

Even the old charlatan Wei Wuya, who relies on the way of gods and ghosts, has to admire the courage and ambition of the new generation of charlatans. Looking at these guys who treat nonsense as food, they have to admit that "the younger generation is better than the younger generation": "How dare you make trouble? When I, Old Wei, pretending to be a god, I was at least a few talismans and burning a few yellow paper. These people are good, and even this is saved. Even the Jade Emperor, the Buddha of the West Heaven, opened his mouth and shouted, "There are so many people who believe in them, which is much better than me."

The most unbelievable thing that makes people believe but have to believe is still to come. These senior brothers possessed by the gods are really capable. One of them has hundreds of disciples, and even thousands of them are in the scale.

The Death Army had not started the attack yet, that is, they just tried the virtual and the real, or just tried the cannon. But when the cannon sounded, these guys were like eating rabbit meat and drinking rabbit blood, whistling upwards.

These foolish people holding hoes and wooden sticks don’t even understand the minimum tactical cooperation. They just have a passion for their brains. They really think that they are invulnerable golden arhats. They dare to fill in the way of the Tartars when they recite the so-called "Six-Syllable Mantra".

The result is naturally conceivable.

Every attack was futile, and even the walls were unable to touch, so the Tartars were dispersed. There were corpses everywhere and blood was bleeding everywhere.

Even if you are beaten into this bird, even if you face a pile of dead bodies, the senior brothers are still fooling others: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you recite the true words of the great immortal, you won't die. After 49 days... at most, these dead disciples will be resurrected. Look, someone has already survived..."

There are inevitably one and a half of the corpses who are not dead, or they just pretend to be dead, and these people say that they are "resurrected".

Faced with such a funny and wailing scene, people believed it, the incense burned more vigorously, the truth was louder, and more and more disciples rushed over from all over the country.

After two days of trouble, Li Si really couldn't stand it anymore and had to order the siege to suspend the siege and take unified action.

Of course, this order was explained by the elder brothers and left: "Your second brother said that after the zodiac auspicious sun, the Heavenly Lord of the Yellow Dao will subdue the thunder immortal method and use the supreme heavenly fire to kill all the demons and ghosts in the world. The Tartars are just small demons who have been practicing Taoism for three hundred years, and they are already doomed..."

It is useless to expose these people's tricks, because thousands of ordinary people really believe this. Instead of saying thanklessly, "There are never any gods", it is better to guide you along the way.

No matter what, as long as you fight the Tartars, there is nothing wrong with this general direction. As for the details, it is not the time to get into trouble.

According to the analysis of the secret report of the basic military information, Ajige from Hubei must be unable to sit still. He has already reduced his troops and has the intention of returning to the north.

Although this has not been finalized, Li Si can understand Ajige's concerns, if it is changed to himself, he will definitely be uneasy in Hubei.

If the front line in Henan is locked, Hubei is just an iron coffin, and it can't even jump out even if you want to. Moreover, there is a remnant of the rebel army with extremely strong vitality and good at pestering and fighting - not one, but many.

It is estimated that Ajige is very much looking back now, but it is definitely necessary for Beijing to finally agree. Even if the Qing Dynasty center agreed to Ajige to turn back or let Ajige reinforce and stabilize Henan, there is still a lot of time here, and it is not something you can come here just by saying that you can come here.

The most important thing is that although Ajige occupied most important strategic points in Hubei, he has never really controlled this area. In areas outside large and medium-sized cities, various forces are inextricably linked and can move the whole body. No one can tell which company is in the world. Especially after Ajige showed that he had to retreat, the counterattack from all sides was a big problem. Not to mention anything else, the remnants of the rebel army were enough for him to work hard for a while.

The Qing army in the south will definitely not be able to get through for a while, but there are quite a few Taurus troops in the north. Especially after the capture of Guide, the Qing army obviously strengthened Kaifeng's defense.

During these six or seven days, the Qing soldiers coming from north of the Yellow River were conservatively estimated to be no less than 8,000, and a large part of them were elite warriors, and there were even large armies from all sides mobilized here. In addition, Luo Jinxiu had originally mobilized the troops and a considerable number of new affiliated troops, Kaifeng was really not something that the dead army could eat.

As the Tartars' troops grew faster and faster and their troops became increasingly strong, many people have proposed to destroy several Yellow River ferries with fierce firepower in a surprise attack. Only in this way can they achieve a true encirclement and cut off the reinforcements and supplies of the Qing army.

If this stalemate is always like this, Kaifeng will always be replenished continuously until the army to die is powerless and completely give up.

After a tentative attack, the small troops of the army that went to the death were even discovered by the cautious Tartars before they even reached the north. They immediately responded fiercely and sent out a large army to drive away the troops that went to the death.

The Yellow River after Kaifeng is the key to this battle, which is something that both the enemy and us know very well. However, Li Si disagreed with the tactic of weaning the enemy, and even more so, he did not agree to the use of decisive forces to fight for the death of this aspect.

No one understands why Li Si didn't do this? But out of blind superstition about Li Si, everyone firmly believed that this creator of the army who had always been a perfect plan must have some more profound arrangements.

"This battle has been the biggest decisive battle for my death army." Li Si has been instilling this in his subordinates: "Do you know what a decisive battle is? I don't want to emphasize anything anymore. In short, all advance, retreat, attack, and all matters of big and small must be ordered!"

Since the Battle of Guide, the initiative has been in the hands of the dead army, and the Tartars can only fight passively, which is very different from the previous situation of the dead army putting out fires everywhere. The most important thing makes people feel that the opponent who has the advantage of the dead army is that the Tartars desperately drew troops from all directions to fight the dead army, which itself shows that the Tartars are not as powerful as the legend.

To really trace the origin, the destruction of the Duodouan expedition was already the last madness of the Tartars.

The entire Manchuria has a limited population base. Suddenly, it faces an unprecedented old empire. There are loopholes in its military allocation, not to mention that even the north is full of war. If the Qing Dynasty cannot quickly eliminate its opponents and deter potential opponents, and cannot achieve one victory after another, the serious consequences of using few soldiers to occupy a large country will immediately appear.

Kaifeng in front of you is the best proof.

After the destruction of Duoduo, 30% of the troops that could move in Manchuria had already been removed, and less than 30% were in the hands of Ajige. More than 30% were dispersed by the Haoge team. Faced with the strong posture of the army to die, they could only frequently draw from the local area, which itself shows the inner weakness.

It doesn't matter whether Kaifeng can be taken down. As long as the enemy can eat up the little force that they have worked hard to gather, the Tartars will no longer be able to maintain their rule north of the Yellow River, and the north will inevitably be in chaos.

Even a division within Manchuria is not impossible.

Therefore, the army to die must regard the Battle of Kaifeng as a decisive battle no matter what.

The comprehensive combat power of the army to die should be above the Qing army, but when facing a strong city, this amount of military strength seems to be too short. Fortunately, Li Si had no intention of attacking the tough city at all, but he still had to do this superficial skill, at least he had to show others how to attack, otherwise how to make the rest more empty?

There are symbolic sieges every day, and they retreat immediately when they encounter resistance.

As for long-range attacks, which only consume weapons reserves without losing personnel, the more they are, the better.

Long-range attacks are mainly accomplished by artillery. Because Kaifeng City itself has a considerable number of large artillery, the small iron cannons that go to the death cannot play any role at all - they have entered the enemy's range before entering the range.

The only thing that can be used is only a dozen magic bronze cannons that were collected together, and there are two red cannons obtained through purchase.

However, the enemy's artillery was mounted on a high turret, occupying a natural geographical advantage, and invisibly extending the range, making the artillery of the dead army unfavorable.

Only at this time can the role of Fu Er blind man be highlighted, or the role of Fu Er blind man himself be greater than that of the cannon camp.

"Okay, okay, just get out of the car, set up a cannon, and then I'm bombarding the Tartars with all my strength," said Blind Fu Er, who was like a big man who was planning to win thousands of miles away, and ordered the soldiers to prepare for fire.

To be honest, the highest commander of this artillery battalion is not serious anymore. He often says crazy nonsense, and jumps up and down like a mule in heat. He can fight, but his prestige is not high in the minds of the soldiers - if Fu Er blind man still has prestige.

Take the example in front of you. There is no support from the cannon group or the cover of the terrain, so you can even save the accumulation of guard walls. I just pulled out a few cannons and wanted to start the fight. Do you really think this is a playhouse?

As soon as the fire was fired here, the Tartars' artillery fire became more dense, and they could cover this area in an instant. By that time, everyone would dodge a place, and this was not a joke.

"You know what you guys know?" Fu Er, a blind man who pretended to be an expert for a long time, revealed his vulgar details in one sentence: "Tell me what I did before?"

"You've never done anything about stealing a widow's door. Even the little maid dares to seduce..." Fu Er's "heroic deeds" have been shown hundreds of times, and the soldiers of the cannon camp have long been familiar with it. Especially the battalion officer is so bragging that he is so serious all day long, and his soldiers are just like him.

What kind of generals lead the soldiers? Fu Er blind man was wearing Hu Li, who was not in a vague position all day long. The soldiers of the cannon camp were of the same virtue as him. He did not regard this battalion official as a battalion official, and he still dared to joke about his sisters.

"If you want to talk about that little maid, you are tender and tender... Nonsense, I'm talking to you about war and fire. Why did you involve me in these colorful things?" Fu Erbian couldn't help laughing: "The head on your neck can not only eat, but you all use your mind to think about it. Where was the little maid I was accustomed to back then?"

"It's from the Zhou Palace. Where is the Zhou Palace? It's in the opposite Kaifeng City." As soon as he talked about this, the blind Fu Er's energy and spirit came up. The two small, almost invisible eyes narrowed into slits: "When Li Chuang opened the seal, I was a cannon, and I touched the door to the big and small forts in Kaifeng South City..."

Everyone then realized that this was the dead end of the enemy's artillery shooting.

Because of the characteristics of the artillery at that time, no one could achieve all-round firepower coverage, and there were more or less dead spots. Fu Erbiaozi, the mule, was originally an artillery soldier from Kaifeng. He had participated in two Kaifeng wars and had known the range, coverage area, and even shooting dead spots of Kaifeng artillery.

Otherwise, even if Fu Er blind man had eight lives, he would not dare to pull out the cannon alone with a big sword. Is it really easy to sing this one-man show?

The blind man Fu Er knew the weakness of the other party's artillery very well, so he was so brave.

When it comes to this kind of thing, Fu Er blind man was indeed brave enough, and the same was true for his soldiers. When he heard that there was such a big advantage, he immediately set up his formation with a clear sword and spear and supported the cannon.

You can beat your opponent hard, but you can't fight back. Who doesn't like such a good thing?

"Damn, I'm preparing for today in Kaifeng. I'm not working hard for several times." Fu Er's blind man smiled and saw no sight: "You guys knocked me in these directions. They are all the Tartars' forts, and they challenged me. Hehe, when I was shooting in Kaifeng, the little Tartars were still drinking outside the pass..."

"Boom" "Boom"
