Then the generals in the account talked a lot and began to analyze the siege routine from a professional perspective.

In the era of cold weapons, the defending party has an absolute advantage over the offensive party.

Especially for big cities with perfect city defense and sufficient material savings, it is common for both offense and defense to remain stalemate for many years.

Those who are used to fighting wars in the account naturally know that they are powerful.

Li Yu is in the spirit of hiding his weaknesses and pursues a behavioral pattern of listening more, thinking more, and speaking less.

I have learned a lot of military skills and strategies from the classical era in this bustling crowd.

But after two hours of debate, I still did not come up with an effective and complete solution.

This is also an unexpected thing, and Bian Hao and others are even more aware of this.

But pre-war discussions are always a necessary procedure. Bian Hao privately told Li Yu that "one person has a short plan, everyone has a strong plan. Don't underestimate these generals who do not study, they are not talented and knowledgeable. Sometimes they can really come up with unique ideas when they are crazy."

"Brainstorm..." Li Yu complained secretly with a dark face

But today the storm was almost ineffective. After Bian Hao comforted everyone, he ordered, "Tomorrow, we will test the sexual attack and see how the Changsha city wall is in good condition!"

"Here!"

...

Li Liantao's ancestors were from Shu.

But this is all the past. He is now a fire chief in the Xiongwu Army, with nine soldiers under his command.

As a veteran who participated in the rebellion of Zhang Yuxian, he was brave and willing to use his brains in combat, and was deeply loved by Lu Zhi, the commander of the army.

It is not impossible to be considered a precaution in recent years based on the credit.

But every time he finished commendation after a war, he did not want a title, but asked to exchange it for gold, silver and money to send it back to his hometown.

Today he was commanding his soldiers to build food when he suddenly heard someone coming, "Deputy General Lu ordered you and others to go to the tent to discuss matters!"

Hurry up from the ground.

This is the old rule, which means that the war begins in one or two days.

...

"I will attack the city tomorrow morning, but you have seen this city wall. It's a pity to fight, but if you want to fight it in one wave, it's a dream."

Lu Zhi has a rough appearance and a burly figure. At first glance, he is the embryo of a pioneer general. What's even more rare is that his combat deployment is quite meticulous. He is never vague when he should rush. On the contrary, he is always the first when he should stoop or when he should sneer or apply oil to his feet.

In other words, he is a soldier. Although his reputation is not very good, Bian Hao trusts him very much and has repeatedly praised him for his courage and strategy and natural judgment on the battlefield environment.

"You all have been with me for more than ten years. Most of them were under my command when they were pacified by Zhang Yuxian. At that time, I was just a general..."

"The old rules, I will definitely fight for the siege tomorrow, but after the fight comes, how to fight? Let's discuss it?"

Lu Zhi has been with Bian Hao for a long time, but he has used this trick very skillfully, which is also caused by Bian Hao's special tips.

"What if you are a reckless man, what if you let your subordinates speak? If you are right, just say that you think so. If you are wrong, just scold me!"

Lu Zhi kept this in his heart, and felt that it was indeed a true saying.

Everyone looked at the city defense map, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became similar to that in Bianhao camp.

"Are you all mute?" Lu Zhiying rushed upwards.

"Go back to the general, this city is not easy to fight. As the general said before, the fight will definitely be defeated, but it took a long time to say it, I'm afraid the men would have to fill it with their lives..."

A small school road.

"Yes, and Liu Yanjiang, who is under Mahiding in the city, is also a general in the army, and there are such people..."

"Military generals, we are not timid. As long as the general gives the order, the lives of Xiaode and his subordinate Erlang will not be their own, but..."

There was noisy in the tent.

All of you are soldiers, so you naturally know when to fight for your life and when to cherish your life.

Lu Zhi didn't speak, just let them make trouble.

"General, if the general tomorrow wants to seek the Pioneer's Position, he will sacrifice his life for the Pioneer to find out the reality of Changsha City, and see if it is a silver-shaped gun head or a copper-shaped iron wall!"

...

The next day, Lu Zhi's box indeed led the forward.

...

Southern Tang military system

The most basic unit is fire, with one fire and one fire person, and one fire chief and one fire chief each.

Ten fires are the team, with one chief and deputy head of the team, also known as the guard.

The fifth team is the first battalion, and the supervisor is called the commander, the guard or the guard of the yamen.

The five battalions formed an army, and the Du Yuhou led 2,500 people.

The five armies formed a wing, and the commander commander was in charge.

Occasionally, there are also a city that governs 2oo-3oo people, and the head of the city is not common.

The organization that is upward is no longer a military issue, but a political issue.

The Sixth Army of the Southern Tang and Northern Yaya, Xiongwu and Tianxiong were first-class strong troops. The other four armies mostly had left and right sides, and the organization was usually not fully staffed. Lin Renzhao's Shenwu Army was considered good, and it was almost a standard organization of 25,000 yuan.

The other three armies in charge of the guards, which are the Jiangning city defense forces in the usual sense, have a total of only 60,000.

Bian Hao's Xiongwu Army had no wings in front, back, left and right, and the paper-only troops were 60,000.

As for the Prince's Tianxiong Army, it was also a five-box organization, but there were only 50,000 people reported to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War also allocated military armor, money and grain according to this number.

But Li Hongji occupied the fertile land of Jianghuai, and he had never paid a penny of taxes over the years. If he encountered a natural disaster, he would lick his face and ask for money and food for disaster relief.

In the Jianghuai area, there are salt, copper, iron and grain. Where did those fiscal revenue go?

If Li Hongji doesn't say it or Li Jing doesn't ask, civil and military officials will naturally be even less likely to talk too much.

But the Liguojian of Xuzhou, the pseudo-Han, relied on smuggling soldiers and armor to the Southern Tang Dynasty to make a fortune. Everyone knows where these military preparations have gone.

After all, this is the family business of the emperor.

Bian Hao was just using his troops, with five wings under his command, and the middle wings were used to protect the formation.

The other four compartments, one with one city gate, without saying a word, they beat him up first.

Lu was directly assigned to the east gate. Judging from the city defense map provided by Li Yu, this was the city gate with the strictest guarding of the long gown.

There are all kinds of sheep and horse walls, urn city, arrow towers, and enemy platforms. Rem hangs high {hey, it's a moving scene}, and there are many crossbows in the corner of the city wall showing off their power.

Li Liantao stood down the city tower and looked up. He could see that there were vaguely many erected poles at the back of the city wall. As a veteran, he knew that this was a catapult.

Although this thing consumes too much manpower, is not reliable, and has almost no accuracy, due to the increase in the height of the city tower, the catapult is now a symbol.

For example, people in society must have a big gold chain around their necks. Although it may float when they enter the water, if they do not, they will feel that something is missing.

These treble machines are used for this purpose. If you have this thing, it means that it is a big city with first-class city defense. It clearly tells the siege, "Even if you come, Dad is ready here, Grandpa and Grandpa, we will only win but not lose."

Li Liantao remembered Lu Zhi's words just now: "I know you can work hard, but you have to see when it comes to whether it is worth losing your life at the beginning. It is important to test the specific strength of the city defense as much as possible!"

Since it was a test, Lu Zhi's use of troops was similar to Bian Hao, and his troops were lined up in a row, and he was fighting a routine of multi-point attacks.

"The Art of War" says that "there are ten to surround it, five to attack it, and twice as many to fight it." In terms of the strength of the army, Bian Hao's advantage is not too great, and it is said to be an army of 400,000.

But everyone knows the number of people in ancient wars. The headquarters of the Xiongwu Army was 60,000, plus the recruited state soldiers, village soldiers, and grain transport masters totaling only 150,000 to 160,000.

This number has something to do with Li Yu, because with the abacus center, the computing power has increased significantly.

In the past, a lot of data that had to be counted as dead people. Now, as long as you throw it into the abacus center, you will get relevant data conclusions soon, which are not only fast but also good.

The ones who are most satisfied with this are naturally the three officials, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Resources, and other officials, followed by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War.

Nowadays, it is a good time to fight, but this is the difference between China and Europe. Under a unified country, the central government has the greatest use, which is to organize the construction of water conservancy and river engineering.

European historians in Li Yu's previous life were quite envious of this.

Look at the places where outstanding civil servants who are literate in the text selected by China from the imperial examinations, and look at the rude lord politics of small European countries who are proud of illiteracy, and the two sides are judged immediately.

It is naturally necessary to repair water conservancy, so Bian Hao cannot draw too many civilians. Ezhou is also a fertile land. If water conservancy in autumn and winter is not well repaired, it will affect the harvest next year. This is also a major event that concerns the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, so you must be cautious.

The Privy Council is equivalent to Li Jing's private war consulting agency. Although Wei Cen and Li Zhenggu are treacherous, they know what to do.

The last time they destroyed Fujian, it was because of their blind command, which led to the victory and defeat. Although Li Jing was generous and did not punish him, the treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and treacherous and t

As a treacherous minister, he has good skills in passing the blame, but this time he can't get it because Bian Hao is the one who leads the troops, and Li Jing's most confidant general.

To put it bluntly, even if all the five ghosts and others are destroyed, as long as Bian Hao leads the army outside, Li Jing can still be leisurely and leisurely.

On the contrary, the Five Ghosts took all three provinces and six ministries, and Bian Hao threw himself into someone else, but I was afraid that Li Jing would not be imprisoned.

So Li Zhenggu, Wei Cen, Chen Jue and others were the rare plans for the country this time. They planned to use the great victory of destroying Chu to wash away the bad reputation they had made in the attack on Fujian.

Treacherous ministers are usually capable ministers. As long as they put their minds in a serious place, they are often more capable than ordinary loyal ministers.

Five ghosts plan together for a once-in-a-lifetime plan, and endure each other for the country.

The officers of the Privy Council were asked to draft combat plans based on data such as 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, and 250,000, and then the abacus center was asked to calculate the amount of food and logistics supplies needed at various scales.
