Aspiration

Chapter 30
Li Laiheng left Hao Yaoqi, and he chose Xixia County as the first stop for training.Although it is called a siege, it is not a siege in the ordinary sense.He has only 800 troops, and all of them are the elite of Jingui, who cannot make fearless sacrifices.Therefore, he thought that it would be enough to train soldiers while ensuring safety.

Li Laiheng thought about a dozen attack methods.

Climbing the city with ropes is the easiest way to attack the city, and it is also the most direct way.All siege methods have only one purpose, which is to capture the city wall.Then use the simplest and most direct method.

A team of ten people, a team of seventy is 700 people, leaving ten teams to take care of the horses.The first batch of three people in each team protects with shields, three people cover with bows and arrows, and three people throw ropes at the same time. Meet the enemy.The second batch and the third batch went up in turn.

This method of siege has been practiced many times, but it has never been used in actual combat.

It's not the best strategy, it's even crude and clumsy, but it works.

The same method of warfare displays different powers in the hands of different people.This method, shown in Li Laiheng's troops, is very powerful, fast, and swift.Because, all of his soldiers have unparalleled combat power.

Throwing the rope and climbing the city wall are just a blink of an eye.They are only a little slower than the first batch of sharp arrows, and they can go to the city to fight the enemy.And face-to-face fighting is what they are good at.Within ten steps, nirvana.Therefore, when more than 200 people appeared on a certain section of the city wall at almost the same time, their power was extremely terrifying.

In the evening, Xixia County appeared in front of my eyes.

Li Laiheng stood on the high ground and stared.

This is the front line, the garrison has not let up, and thousands of defenders are all guarding the city.Because, when Li Laiheng drove over, he did not act as quickly as possible.They deliberately increased the difficulty and came to Xixia County at a normal marching speed.There are many enemy outposts, and military newspapers are sent to the city again and again.

The defenders were prepared.They are not careless, but they never believe that the enemy will come to attack the city.Hundreds of people attacked the city, it should be a surprise attack, or outsmart.Swaggering should not come to attack the city.However, don't be careless, this is a belief that the city guards warned each other.

There is no need for 800 people, twenty teams are enough!Twenty teams are 200 people.

Li Laiheng thought.

No, use them all. The 800 people have long hoped for a change of taste, and they haven't tasted new ones in mountain warfare and attack warfare.

Wang Si and Luo Hu looked at the guards on the city wall, they seemed to regret that it wasn't exciting enough.

The people on the walls were watching them too.They thought, seven or eight hundred people want to attack the city?Is it a bit whimsical?

"Wang Si is on the left, and Luo Hu is on the right. After going to the city, don't chase and kill the scattered soldiers, just let them escape. After entering the city, suppress the enemy from the left and right, and set up guards along the way. We will gather in the county office." Li Laiheng assigned tasks. , staring at the city wall, he deliberately confessed not to chase and kill the skirmishers, he felt sorry for them.

Li Laiheng felt ashamed of bullying the weak.He doesn't like fighting weak enemies.He doesn't kill for the sake of killing.

At this time, a woman's words rang in his ears.

Lu Qin didn't like this kind of blood.

However, Li Laiheng was born to kill.The special forces who have traveled through hundreds of years shoulder the destiny of changing this period of history. How is it possible not to kill and not to be violent?
Wang Si and Luo Hu were already waiting for Li Laiheng's order in their team. Eighty teams lined up, with Wang Si on the left, Luo Hu on the right, and Li Laiheng in the middle.There is a slight protrusion in the middle of the array lined up, a bit like a wild goose.

What a big goose!
"Come on!" The enemy's first round of archery had just been completed, and the wild goose had already reached the corner of the city wall. It was too fast, and the city wall guard was unable to issue a second command. The next step was to rely on the soldiers' usual tactical skills.

Suddenly, more than 200 ropes were thrown towards the city wall, and 490 sharp arrows arrived at the same time, and the people who were shot screamed, and 210 brave men had jumped to the top of the wall.A round of sword light and sword shadow, white light turned red light.

The dumbfounded city defenders froze for more than ten seconds, and then they had no choice but to rush away, leaving half of the corpses of their colleagues who were killed in the first round of attack, and each fled for his life.

It is true that no one killed the enemies who turned around and fled. They were not bloodthirsty, and they all had a little compassion for these defenders.

Pan Zhiyu, the county magistrate of Xixia County, was sadly selected by Li Laiheng as the practice ground for the first assault battle.After ten years of hard work, he was finally admitted as a scholar and was selected as a county magistrate by the current emperor. For him, fame did not come easily.He likes this world very much, and he also misses this world very much.For the Pan family, he is the most promising and most worthy of glory among more than ten generations. He is the pride of the Pan family's ancestors for generations.He married a wife, two concubines, who was the only one among more than ten generations of his Pan family to receive this honor.

Now, Pan Zhiyu is shivering in a cabinet in the side room of the yamen.The big seal in his arms cannot be lost, and he hangs it around his neck.His three wives also stupidly chose to be in several other large wooden cabinets.

No way, the enemy came too fast.Unexpectedly, the enemy would attack the city, and his city wall and his soldiers seemed to be made of tofu, vulnerable to a single blow.

Pan Zhiyu was escorted to the lobby.All the soldiers pretended to be government servants, shouting "mighty" so loud that Pan Zhiyu collapsed in the hall in fright.In the past, when he patted the gavel, he was majestic, and the people in the hall trembled. Today, he became a servant of the hall, and he was already trembling before he patted the gavel.

Li Laiheng slapped the gavel and shouted: "Pan Zhiyu! Hurry up and tell the truth. How much have you harmed the good people? How much of the people's fat and blood have you scraped? Still not recruiting?"

How can Pan Zhiyu say "Zhao Zhao Zhao"?Already out of body.

The crowd laughed.

Li Laiheng didn't really wait for him to recruit, and then asked: "Pan Zhiyu, you county magistrate Wu Shamao, did you get it by reading or bribery? Tell me!"

"Back to Your Majesty, I read it through reading."

"Nonsense! You didn't pay bribes when you took the Juren examination?"

"No no."

"No," Li Laiheng said, "is there anyone in your court who won fame without bribery? Pan Zhiyu, tell the truth!"

"It's true that I paid bribes and read books." He told the truth, and he had a hunch that if he told lies, he would die faster.

Li Laiheng smiled, "It's not bad. I told the truth today, and I will spare your life. However, the death penalty is inevitable, but the living penalty is inevitable. You will be punished to open the granary and help the poor. Pan Zhiyu, do you hear me?"

When Pan Zhiyu heard that he could spare his life, there was no bullshit to say, so he kept talking.

"When you opened the warehouse to release the grain, the servants who organized you shouted this sentence: 'Eat his mother, wear his mother, open the city gate to welcome the king of Chuang, and he will not pay the food when the king of Chuang comes.' Remember?" Li Laiheng said.

"I remember it." Pan Zhiyu, who had read books, heard Li Laiheng's nonsense jingle, so he had no choice but to say that he remembered. He thought, as long as he can save his life today, he doesn't care about the matter that the state government and the court will pursue in the future. So many.Opening warehouses to release grain and singing praises to trespassers is a last resort, but punishment by the court is definitely inevitable.

Pan Zhiyu released relief overnight.

He really organized a group of people to distribute food while shouting: "Eat his mother, wear his mother, open the city gate to welcome the king of Chuang, and he will not pay the food when the king of Chuang comes."

These few words spread quickly, and they were still remembered hundreds of years later.

These nursery rhymes were not originally invented by Li Laiheng, but later Li Yan joined Li Zicheng's team. In order to expand the influence of Li Zicheng's uprising army, as a cultural person, he wrote some nursery rhymes and let the people sing them.Li Laiheng thought, why not let what will happen in the future happen earlier?
Pan Zhiyu was giving relief, while Li Laiheng and others in his county office had a lively meal. After drinking and eating, they fell asleep on the floor, table, and bed of the county office.Tomorrow, they will fight again.

"Boss, today is not enough. There are thousands of soldiers in a county, not enough to fit between teeth." Wang Si said to Li Laiheng.

"Yes, boss." Luo Hu also said, "There are many brothers who don't even have the chance to draw their swords."

Li Laiheng smiled, "What do you want?"

Wang Si and Luo Hu looked at each other, neither of them dared to say anything.

Li Laiheng asked: "Let's talk. It's been so long since we've been out, we'll go home after one or two more training sessions. Do you two want to have a big game?"

"Boss, it's like this. The two of us really want to visit one or two big cities to see what the big cities are like. How about we go to Kaifeng?"

Open the envelope? (Historical records, later, Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng three times with hundreds of thousands of people, but returned without success.)
Now, attack Kaifeng with 800 people?Li Laiheng's chest was surging.
