Chapter 132: Send troops to quell the rebellion

When Zhang Qin saw that Tang Jie didn't speak, he seemed to be shocked. He was even more proud. As a eunuch, being able to participate in the construction of the army was a matter of utmost success. And the construction of the army was enough to shock the local county magistrates, which was even more amazing!

Zhang Qin put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Master Tang, these are nothing. You haven't seen the throwing tincture oil tanks. Hundreds of tincture oil tanks are thrown on the city wall together. When the rockets are shot up, it will simply ignite a huge fire! It's no problem to take the county towns of Jincheng County. If you can't catch them, you will ask us for an explanation!"

Tang Jie was indeed shocked. Of course he knew what a stone throwing machine was, but he had never seen it. He had just read it in a book. The book only said that it was to project stones to smash the city tower, at most it was to shock the enemy. Even if it was written in the book, he would not believe it. But today he really saw this situation. How could he not be shocked?

After a while, Tang Jie came to his senses and said, "Okay, okay, this is a powerful weapon to attack the city. Not to mention capturing several county towns of Jincheng County, even if it is capturing... it is OK to conquer Long County!" He came to say that it was possible to conquer Chang'an, but Chang'an was the old capital of the Han Dynasty. He said that this was very disrespectful, so he had to change it to Long County.

In his heart, Tang Jie felt that it was fortunate that Li Qin was an official army. If he was a rebel, then if he rebels, he would not be as good as him if he added one of the ten Beigong Boyus!

Zhang Qin didn't think far enough, and never thought that Li Qin would attack Chang'an or even Luoyang. He only knew that he was the supervisor of the Fujiao Army. He had his military achievements, so he was content. He kept talking nonsense, praising the power of the Fujiao Cannon, and by the way, he had done so much power when he made such a cannon, and he made a lot of hard work!

Below, the attacking soldiers had already rushed to the earth wall and turned to the city gate with shouts, while the defending soldiers surrendered. The offensive and defensive ethics ended here!

If the Fujiao Army really carried out the siege, it would not be so smooth. Moreover, if the city gates were broken, street fighting would have to be carried out next. Street fighting was the battle with the greatest casualties. But now it is just a practice, and street fighting cannot be performed, so it was not carried out. Moreover, the soldiers were allowed to shout in the siege, and there was no military rule to keep silent.

This offensive and defensive battle was very fierce and very beautiful. The Fujiao Army's previous exercises were not as good as this time. The people in the fort were excited to watch. The exercise was over, but they refused to leave and still shouted. Some even rushed over and rewarded the soldiers with wine and meat. The scene was extremely lively.

After watching the exercise, Tang Jie said, "Li Lang, I don't know how the battle situation in Jincheng County is. If it goes well, maybe General Leng will not be able to transfer troops from us. In fact, I really want him to transfer troops, but this idea is too sorry for General Leng. After all, he is your mentor!" After that, he fought. If Leng Zheng transferred troops from Fujiao Fort, it would prove that he had lost the battle.

Li Qin thought to himself: "He will definitely mobilize troops from me. It is not Beigong Boyu who rebels now, but Han Sui!" He thought to himself, but said, "Mr. Leng will win, there is no doubt about this. If he wins, I will definitely bring a gift to congratulate Leng on his face."

Zhang Qin snorted and said, "According to our family's estimates, your gift can be saved." He is a eunuch, so he doesn't care what it is to curse Leng Zheng's victory. It's better to defeat it, just like his wishes.

Everyone talked and talked, went down the fort wall to comfort the soldiers who had finished the exercise. It took a long time for Tosuke to return to Fuping.

After seeing off Tang Jie, Li Qin immediately convened a military meeting. This time he asked Zhang Qin to attend. The generals entered the lobby of the lieutenant. After sitting down, Li Qin said: "Our exercise exposed two very important problems. One is that if the siege car cannot open the city gate and the horn-held cannon cannot knock down the city wall, what should we do? The second is how to carry out street fighting and how to reduce the casualties of our army? When the magistrate of Tang County was there, I was embarrassed to say that everyone is here now. Let's talk about how to solve these two problems?"

Jia Xu said: "The problem of not being able to attack is easy to solve. As long as we set fire and smoke everywhere on the city wall, we will definitely be able to attack. We do not lack tincture oil. Speaking of materials, if we rank second in Liangzhou, no one dares to rank first. Regarding street fighting, this is what really makes us headache."

Zhang Qin said: "Set the fire to work, so let's continue setting the fire. After attacking the city, we just need to set the house and there will be no street fighting."

Everyone shook their heads together. Even if they set fire, the soldiers would have to release them. During the release process, there would be street fighting, and the Han cities were all destroyed. If the fire was burned out, what's the use of retaking the empty city? Maybe there would be no merit and a serious crime.

Zhang Qin said again: "Then the city is slaughtered?" As soon as he said that, he felt something was wrong. No matter how careless people were, he could not slaughter the Han family's own city. There were Han people there!

Li Qin glanced at him and thought to himself: "Before the Three Kingdoms arrived, do you have to learn from those generals who kill people?" He shook his head and said: "It is definitely not possible to massacre the city. Even if I order such an order, wouldn't there be a more intense street fighting break out during the slaughter? Our soldiers will suffer greater casualties."

There was no word street fighting in this era, but this word is simple and clear, and you can understand it at first glance. Everyone knows the cruelty of this kind of battle. However, street fighting usually occurs when foreign enemies invade. The enemy soldiers want to massacre the city, kill men, and kidnap women. In order to protect their relatives, the people will engage in street fighting. But the situation is the opposite now. The Fujiao Army goes to regain the city, but they have to prevent the rebels from infiltrating the people and fighting against the Fujiao Army. This situation will definitely happen. If you don’t think about it in advance, the consequences will be very serious.

Jia Xu sighed and said, "It seems that Han Sui is a talent, but unfortunately he was not killed. Beigong Boyu ran away after he finished fighting, but Han Sui didn't run away after he finished fighting. This is difficult to deal with. The enemy and we are mixed together, and this kind of thing is the most difficult to solve."

Li Qin remained silent, thinking about a good way to solve street fighting, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of it. Whether it was the Stalingrad defense battle, the street fighting in Grozny, or the street fighting in Berlin, the attacking side paid a heavy price, but the victory or defeat was not certain, and before the street fighting, there were planes and cannons. For example, during the street fighting in Berlin, the Soviet army fired 1.2 million artillery shells in one day, but even so, after entering Berlin, the Soviet army could not open on the road, so they had to enter the sewer and fight with the Germans in the sewer.

This kind of battle was avoided by Li Qin no matter what. During the Three Kingdoms period, the princes often used massacres to deter the people of the occupied cities, causing a huge reduction in the population, but the effect was extremely small. This is also a method that Li Qin could not use.

After thinking for a long time, Li Qin said: "If Han Sui was just commanding the army, he would definitely fight to the end. If we capture the city, he would try his best to take it back. He would repeatedly act so cruelly, regardless of the lives and deaths of the people. Moreover, as long as he is cruel once, it will be difficult for us to deal with it in the future. Not only is it difficult for us to deal with it, but it will be difficult for any army to deal with this style of fighting. No matter whether we win or lose, soldiers will suffer casualties, and they will lose the people's hearts. Then, if we want to develop in the future, the resistance will be much greater."

Everyone looked at him together. The generals of this era generally would not think about such problems before fighting. Just win. There is no one who can never die in war! Only the heaven-defiant figures will pay attention to this problem. For example, after the massacre, Cao Cao discovered this problem, so he changed to vigorously develop military farms and tried every means to let the people recuperate. Liu Bei would rather escape than take the people together. Sun Ce swallowed his anger and did not clash with the local people. They were afraid of losing the hearts of the people.

Li Qin said: "Han Sui occupied the city and stole the people, making us afraid of the rats. If another army was replaced to attack, and if the city was slaughtered, it would be better if he won, he would just rob the county town, but we were going, I'm afraid..."

Everyone nodded together. Fujiaojun was going to go. No matter how they fought, as long as the people died, He Jin and his group would rush over like wolves. He Jin would not really care about the lives and death of the people, but he could use this excuse to put Li Qin to death. It would be fine if the Ten Eunuchs didn't help Li Qin. If they helped, Li Qin would have to be notorious. The eunuchs would not only not be able to help at this time, but they could only cause trouble!

Li Qin not only wants to win, but also takes this opportunity to expand his power. If he can occupy the entire Liangzhou, it would be the best, so some things have to be planned.

After a moment, Li Qin said again: "I have a plan that can turn the people into killing weapons. Let's do this..." He said the plan in this way and this way.

Everyone immediately felt like the clouds were clearing and the mist was dissipating. They all nodded and praised them. Even Jia Xu shouted a few times.

In terms of time, it was several days later than expected. It was not until the tenth day that someone from Jincheng County came to send military orders. Leng Zheng transferred the Fujiao Army to cross the border and entered Jincheng County, and joined him to suppress Beigong Boyu.

Li Qin called the Han soldiers who were sent to the order and asked in detail about the battle situation in Jincheng County. The actual situation was worse than he thought. Beigong Boyu adopted Han Sui's tricks. Every time he occupied a city, he opened a warehouse to release grain, which made many poor people get food. The poor people were afraid of the government's pursuit, so many people followed him to rebel, and the Hu people from other tribes responded one after another. In this way, in less than a month, Beigong Boyu actually had an army of 100,000 to fight with Leng Zheng for three formations, and he won a great victory. Leng Zheng was forced into Yunwu County and could only defend the city and dared not fight in the field.

If the war continues like this, I am afraid that it will not take long before someone in other counties will rebel, and the war will be rampant, and the entire Liangzhou will be in chaos!
