"Emperor Gao once said that in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary."
After Xi Chongguo listened to Han Dangdang and Sun Wanwan's gossip about Ren Hong's description of going to Wusun to borrow troops and skillfully using a divisive plan, Ren Hong's actions were quite magnificent, and there was a happy smile on his face that was bitter and hateful on weekdays."
When I read the military book before, I was still thinking about what kind of character is the Marquis of Liucheng?
It is clear that he is thousands of miles away, why he can win and break the enemy.Today, I know that you have a long way to go, and you are a character like a marquis!
”"Yes, Ren Jun can be described as a little marquis!"
Sun Million and others coaxed one after another.Han Dangdang also teased: "Ren Jun, your words shouldn't be far away, it's better to call it the ovary instead." ”Ren Hong shook his head: "This word is a gift from Fu Gong, and it matches my name, how can I change it indiscriminately?"
”"Daoyuan" is Ren Hong's word, which Fu Jiezi helped Ren Hong take before leaving the canal plough and returning to Yumen last year.It is said that the old man himself said that he picked up the Confucian books that he threw away with Mu Yao at the age of 14 and flipped them over several times, based on the sentence in the Analects: "A scholar cannot fail to Hongyi, and there is a long way to go." ”Ren Hong said that he liked it, but in fact, he was angry when he thought of this word, and he had a long way to go, and his "easy" mission was really heavy and far.Ran from Luntai to Wusun and came back, turned over the Tianshan Mountains twice, I'm afraid there are 5,000 miles under my feet, the old man is really blatantly poisoning himself!
At present, they are still standing outside the iron gate, because the west gate is sealed by earth and stones, and they can't enter for the time being, Xi Chongguo and others are falling down with ropes, and the two are standing in a group of mooing and defecating cattle touting each other.Xi Chongguo praised Ren Hong for staying in the marquis, and Ren Hong praised Xi Chongguo for being a husband and a man."
It's not my credit, it's thanks to your idea when you built the pass in the first place."
Xi Chongguo turned around and shouted, "Hasn't the door been opened yet?"
”"It's open, it's open!"
In fact, the west gate has been completely burned down, and it is only blocked with earth and stones, and judging from the smoke and fire marks on the rammed earth wall, the iron gate gate has been subjected to very fierce attacks in the past two months.Ren Hong can imagine that when King Puyin and King Yiwu first arrived at the Iron Gate Pass, they still attacked seriously several times.According to Xi Chongguo, the Huns actually made up a batch of Han-style iron armor and iron armor, there are more than 100 bodies, although many have rusted, but they are also stronger than leather armor, and it is difficult for them to pose a threat to the crossbow with small strength."
Iron armor?"
Although the Huns also have iron-smelting and forging skills, they are far inferior to the Han, and the iron armor is only equipped by the elite of more than 100 horsemen or about the elite of the virtuous kings.Ren Hong pondered, these iron armor is probably more than ten years ago, the Huns captured from the hands of Li Guangli, the captain of the transport brigade, in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the Huns ate three waves of Han army, there were Li Xu and other traitors to help train the troops, and the combat effectiveness was immediately raised to a higher level.Relying on these improvised heavily armored soldiers, the Huns were able to hold the shields of the skin, withstand the crossbows of the Han army, cut and burn the city gate, and finally broke the hole and removed the earth and stones stuffed in the hole of the city gate.But when the Huns thought that they had finally broken through the Iron Gate Pass, they were stunned to find that there was another city wall behind the city wall!"
Urn City."
Ren Hong and the others also entered the door, looking at this fortification proposed by themselves, they were very pleased.The prototype of the urn city was there as early as the time of Yu Shun, but the designs of those ancients were quickly lost in history, and it was Mozi, the master of defending the city, who was reinvented.Since the Han Dynasty, the abbreviated version of Wengcheng is called "Qucheng" and "Huimen", the Jiaqu Marquis of Juyan has Huimen, and the Yuze barrier in Xiaogu County has Qucheng.Ren Hong has been to the Yuze barrier, and the shape is basically the same as that of the urn city in later generations, except for the slightly weird parallel wall So, when building the iron gate pass, Ren Hong, as a participant, directly proposed according to the appearance of the Song Ming urn city in his impression, because of his reputation of "building the city overnight", Fu Jiezi also agreed.Therefore, the first line of defense broken by the Huns was actually just an urn city, which was connected with the main city wall as a whole and was semicircular.The Huns who rushed in were like turtles in an urn, and they were shot by crossbow arrows in four directions above their heads, and even if they were covered by iron armor, they would be broken through their armor and shot into a sieve.Just look at the thick blood stain on the ground to know the fate of those Huns, who suffered heavy losses, and could only leave more than 100 corpses behind, and then began to blindly besiege the city, not daring to storm the city gate again.In addition to the urn city with double insurance for the most fragile wooden city gate, there are two "horse faces" on the wall, protruding from the outside of the city wall, with a narrow appearance, like the face of a horse.In fact, this is also the invention of Mozi, which was called "Yang Qian" earlier: guarding the Taicheng, with the Yang Qian, the left and right distances, each twenty feet, thirty feet in the city, and a strong crossbow to shoot it.Left and right can flank enemies stuck to dead corners on the city walls.Therefore, the iron gate pass is more difficult to attack than the general barrier, Ren Hong is worried about the wheel platform, worried about the ditch plow, but he has never worried that the iron gate that has been attacked from both sides will be breached.Because the north side of the castle is on the verge of a cliff, and under the cliff is the turbulent Peacock River, relying on pulleys and wheels, you can always get some water every day.The only hidden danger is food, in Ren Hong's expectation, the rations of the three hundred soldiers of the Iron Gate have been exhausted a month ago, and they can dig earthworms and throw long lines to catch some fish from the stream to make soup, which is a drop in the bucket.But looking at Xi Chongguo and his subordinates, although they are emaciated, they still have strength, and they don't look like they have been hungry for more than half a month.Without waiting for him to speak, Sun Million, who almost starved to death in Luntai, asked."
Xi Jun, what have you been eating these days?"
Meat."
Xi Chongguo stopped smiling, took out a blackened piece of meat from his arms, took a bite of it, and stuffed it into Sun Wanwan's hand."
Taste it."
Sun Million threw a piece into his mouth, because the fuel was scarce and undercooked, it was a little fishy, and it was a little sluggish, there was too much salt, and it tasted weird, and he couldn't eat any meat."
If you don't put more salt, you can't hold it."
At this moment, Xi Chongguo smiled gloomily, took them to the gate, and unveiled the large clay pot where the salt was placed.What followed was a gruesome scene: in the large vat filled with salt, there were several people who had been disemboweled and disemboweled, and most of their flesh had been cut off!"
Gross!"
Sun Million was stunned for a moment, and then immediately spit out the suspicious meat he had just eaten, along with the naan for breakfast."
It's the Huns who died in the siege."
Xi Chong skillfully patted Sun Million on the back: "The last bit of rice grain at Tiemen Pass was exhausted half a month ago, and we know that it will take at least a month for reinforcements to arrive, and the fish caught every day is only enough for everyone to continue their lives, because the Huns are clamoring, and there are not even birds in the sky." ”"At the beginning, I boiled the armor bow and crossbow with water, and swallowed the animal tendon and leather on it to satisfy my hunger, but then I ran out of fuel and had to burn dry dung."
Xi Chongguo shook his head and said: "Ten days ago, we were so hungry that we couldn't even lift the crossbow machine, and when Hu Lu attacked the city, we didn't even have the strength to push them down. ”The first time I ate it, I was nauseous for a day, and I vomited a lot of robes, but I got used to it.There is no way, if you don't eat, you will die because of sluggish hands and feet, and if you don't eat, the iron door may be broken.As soon as the Huns swarmed in, we will be buried here, and the good situation that many robes have paid for their lives will be in vain. ”He turned his head, looked at the soldiers with thin faces and gathered together to support each other, and sighed: "This is how we have survived for more than ten days. ”"I once heard the elders in the family talk about the spring of the third year of Emperor Xiaowu's founding, the river burst, the great hunger in the eastern part of the country, and cannibalism, and today I finally know what it tastes like.""
But if you want to ask me if it's delicious?"
Xi Chongguo slammed the terrifying salt jar shut, and his face showed a look of disgust."
It's smelly and fishy, not delicious at all!"
Sun Million wiped his mouth and rinsed his mouth desperately, and Zhang Xiaoyan and the people who came with Ren Hong also looked at each other, with a somewhat strange expression."
Great!"
Ren Hong suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, and chanted a poem on the spot."
Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood!"
This is war, what is it to eat the enemy, and how many more sensational cannibalism incidents have been in China's long history.With just one sentence, this slightly strange atmosphere ended, and everyone reacted and applauded."
That's right, Rongdi jackals, it's better to eat the flesh of jackals than to be eaten by jackals!"
Ren Hong secretly said in his heart: "Brother Geng Gong, don't blame, this allusion is really not stolen by me!"
”In addition to slaughtering cattle and cooking porridge and breaking naan, the first thing the soldiers of Tiemen Pass did after lifting the siege was to throw away and bury all those terrible "cured meats".Ren Hong and Xi Chongguo climbed the east side of the city wall, which was the same shape as the west, but the difference was that the enemy camp a few miles to the east was still full of smoke.Because of the obstruction of the iron gate, there are tall and rugged rocks on one side, and a hundred-foot abyss and turbulent water on the other, and the enemy troops on the east and west sides cannot communicate with each other, so they can only communicate through wolf smoke.Xi Chongguo pointed over there and said: "The king of the day is chasing the sages and sages with a thousand horsemen to supervise the battle, and the front of the camp is the alliance army of the three kingdoms of Yuli, Weisu and Yanqi, there are 5,000 people, and the camp is several miles in the slightly wider place in the canyon, and they come to besiege and invite battle every day, and they want to use your original method to provoke us." ”"What's the method?"
Ren Hong didn't react, he didn't know that he had caused too much damage to the psychology of the Xiongnu people.Xi Chongguo gestured: "Xiao Jie." ”Ren Hong coughed twice and proposed: "Brother Xi, although you say that I am a thousand miles away to break the enemy, but the three kings of Yougu Li, Yiwu, and Puyin are just suspicious of each other and are fooled for a while.Even if Wu Zongnian is really willing to help, my strategy still has many loopholes, and I can deceive stupid people, but I can't deceive heroes. ”"What's more, the real leader of the Huns in this battle is the Right Xian King, once my strategy is discovered, the Huns will also be angry and fight back again.Fu Gong will take more than ten days to arrive at the earliest, so he must be guarded against, so taking advantage of the Huns' infighting, if he can solve one side, he will solve one side first. ”Xi Chongguo and they were held in the iron gate for two months, and they were even forced to eat human flesh, and they had already endured it: "Yes, we have to repel their generation, and use a victory to make the three kingdoms of Yu Li, Wei Su, and Yanqi dare not peep at the iron gate again!"
”"But the total number of the enemy is six thousand, and we are no more than three or four hundred, and I don't want the soldiers to have too many casualties."
Ren Daoyuan laughed: "No, no, you are half of the troops." ”He turned around and pointed to the herd of cows that had been locked up in the urn city at the east gate, mooing with hunger because there was no forage."
Don't forget, we still have more than a hundred cavalry in thick armor and a short temper, who have the help of the location in this narrow canyon, and will surely be indomitable when they rush forward!"
