Chapter 243 Siege (3)
"But the Pei family army hasn't attacked the city tower yet, right?" Compared with Zhao Jingshi's calm and thoughtful thought, Yuan Kai, the head of the Yuan family, seemed much more nervous. After all, it was related to the life and death of a family, so he had to be nervous.
"What's more, Nanyang City is high and deep, with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the city, plus hundreds of thousands of people, once the battle is urgent, tens of thousands of village warriors can be recruited anytime and anywhere. How many people are there in the Pei family army outside the city?
Will Pei Xiaoer fight to the death in the city of Nanyang?" Yuan Kai said worriedly.
Zhao Jingshi understood Yuan Kai's concerns. He was afraid that the Pei family army outside the city would suffer too much casualties when attacking Nanyang City, and Pei Xiaoer did not have the determination to take Nanyang. If this really comes to this point, the Pei family army outside the city would still be able to do so.
He patted his butt and left, but Yuan Kai, who was more than 100 people, had to be all in Nanyang City.
In fact, after all, it was today's attack, which did not destroy the officers and soldiers in the city, and did not give Yuan Kai the hope of the Pei family's army winning. Therefore, he did not see the rabbit and the eagle.
"Since that's the case, Uncle Shi will wait for the time being, but I have something to say first, this is icing on the cake. After all, it's better to help in time. Once the Pei family army has a certain victory, Uncle Shi will come out and rebel, and the benefits at that time will not be as good as that.
Now." Zhao Jingshi was already anxious. This time it was his Zhao family bet on his fortune. If this matter fails, then the general Pei Xiaoer will not have so many opportunities to leave them next time. Therefore, this time
They can only succeed, never fail.
But sometimes the more anxious you are, the more you need to realize the wind and clouds on the surface, and you don’t care at all. Otherwise, it will arouse Yuan Kai’s alertness, make the other party doubt his Zhao family’s motives, and even play the opposite role.
"Yes, yes, it's better to slow down. Let's see if the situation develops. Is it better to be slower or better?" Yuan Kai gave a long air and smiled deliberately, trying to resolve the awkward atmosphere.
What he didn't notice was that while he asked to slow down, Zhao Jingshi on the opposite side showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes that had been smiling.
Early the next morning, there was a constant drumming sound in the Pei family camp, mixed with the whistle of officers rectifying the army.
After the soldiers finished their breakfast, they came to the open space outside Nanyang City under the leadership of their respective officials. The moat outside Nanyang City had been filled yesterday and turned into a smooth road, so today's army was one step closer than yesterday.
, the nearest one is even close to the city wall with two arrows.
"Let's start!" Pei Xiaoer looked at the towering Nanyang City and ordered lightly.
The battle broke out instantly, and the cannons were still clearing the way, and the infantry rushed. Unlike in the past, the Pei family army was not the auxiliary soldiers, but the Pei family army's long-trained veterans, mixed with a large number of new soldiers, with veterans as the backbone.
, support the soul of the entire battlefield, and the recruits fill the gaps in the middle of the battlefield with flesh and blood.
The only disadvantage is that the casualty rate of new recruits is a bit high, but it is still within the affordable range. Besides, when you are a soldier, you have this kind of awareness by eating food and putting your head on your belt to do things, just sooner or later.
Forget it.
On the other hand, after recruiting or cultivating a large number of craftsmen, the Pei family army's siege equipment has also made great progress. At least it is not the kind of past that used to be able to make a fortune by relying on a ladder. Now, the Pei family army has a basic ladder.
Outside, there are almost everything from rushing cars, nesting cars, wooden mantle, collision cars, Lu Gongche, etc., for this reason, the auxiliary soldiers of the army were busy for almost a day and a night yesterday before they were built, and finally came in handy today.
It can be said that in today's battle, the Pei family army had real capital and vowed to take down Nanyang City in one battle. Because Pei Xiaoer dared not delay too much under Nanyang City, and could not afford to delay. In fact, since leaving Shanxi, Pei
The waiter always felt an anxiety lingering in his heart, perhaps for the pursuit of soldiers, perhaps for food and supplies, or for civil and military officials who are constantly fleeing.
Even though most of the officers and soldiers near Henan are fighting with Li Zicheng, even Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng were attracted. Although I heard that Li Zicheng is about to die recently, it was only more than ten days later, and the officers and soldiers were from
Near Kaifeng, going south to Nanyang, there will be at least ten days on the road, that is, the Pei family army will have at least twenty-four or five days to attack Nanyang City.
In the past twenty days, it is almost negligible to attack such a big city with complete city defense and strict defense.
"Who is that person?" Pei Xiaoer retracted his thoughts and turned his eyes back to the siege in front of him. When he saw this, he found that a person rushing out of his own army had already taken the lead in climbing the city wall and rushed into the city.
In the crowd, he slashed left and right, and was unstoppable. He was so brave that he simply took off his armor and held a big knife in his arms, like a giant god with his bare arms.
"This..." There are quite a few generals around Pei Xiaoer, but no one can tell who the general's surname is and which unit belongs to.
This situation is actually normal. The team is bigger and the number of people is too large. Who knows who their names are. It is already quite difficult to remember all the names of the three-level names downward and call them out in one mouthful.
Pei Xiaoer didn't make things difficult for them, "Go and ask who this person is? There are such a brave warrior in the army, and they should be rewarded."
As a new force, the Pei family army's efficiency is much higher than that of the officers and soldiers. After just half an hour, they clearly understood the ins and outs of this person and reported it to Pei Xiaoer.
"Return to the general, this person's name is Tian Shengnian. The last time our army recruited troops in Luyang County, he joined the army. The manpower is extremely strong. He can eat the weight of three people in a meal. No one of the people in the same team with him can be strong.
Compare him with dinner,” Liu Changle said.
"Oh? Interesting, what position does this person have now?" Pei Xiaoer continued to ask, "You must know that the Pei family army has expanded very quickly. Those who can stay in the army for three months can basically get a job with one or half, and not only can they?
Just a veteran and a new soldier can also get a job if he performs well in the army. According to his ability, he should not be a big soldier!
"Return to the general, first of all, because he didn't join the army for a long time; secondly, this person is unruly by nature. He has repeatedly violated military rules since joining the army and contradicted his boss. Yesterday, he was questioned by his superiors and was beaten by several military sticks.
This is why he is still a big-headed soldier!" Liu Changle slowly told Pei Xiaoer what he had just found out.
Pei Xiaoer nodded and stopped talking. No wonder this man has always been a big soldier. You should know that the Pei family army attaches the most importance to military discipline when Pei Xiaoer sets out his army. Even if this man has the ability to compete with the military discipline, he will not obey discipline.
That makes it easier to get promoted and get out of the relationship.
This approach has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the army is highly centralized, prohibited, and firmly obeyed without any doubt. This ensures that the Pei family army is extremely efficient, which is naturally different from the natural differences of most armies in this era; as for the disadvantages, it is easy to be buried.
Talents, talents, always have a little temper, are easily out of place with military standards, and are often suppressed.
So this requires Pei Xiaoer to frequently discover talents in his army as a patch to ensure that the talents in the army are not buried.
"After the siege is over, let this person come to me. How can such a talent not be rewarded?"
"Yes." Liu Changle should have been there, and then looked at Tian Shengnian. He knew that Tian Shengnian had fallen into Pei Xiaoer's eyes.
