Chapter two hundred and seventy-third
"Let the soldiers know our current situation. Now I will talk to you generals and the generals and the generals about the real problems. I have commanded your two wars. I believe everyone here also knows me. I never care about how long the preparation time is. It is best to be better. However, once the war begins, it is impossible to imagine that the enemy will die or you will die. If you don't want to use your head to inspire morale, then listen to me now." Sima's family took out a roll of cloth, which was drawn on it. On it was the city defense picture drawn by him and Sima Yao on the opposite side of the mountainside, looking down at the capital of Dongbi.
"The capital of Dongfeng King uses stone accumulation as the city wall. The wall is rough when it is observed at close range. If there is no defender, anyone can climb up against the cracks of the wall. The biggest disadvantage of this kind of city wall is that it is very afraid of the attack of the catapult, which is different from the rammed earth city wall. What I want to say is that, in my observation, the capital of Dongfeng King King only has this city wall and does not have an inner city. This is not as good as the Jinshan City in Silla." Sima Ji spread his cloth and talked happily, "From the shape of the capital of Dongfeng King, where is the easiest city section to break? Who can say it?"
There was a short period of sinking. When a deputy toothed goalkeeper standing on the right hand stood up and said, "The capital of Dongfeng Kings is wide in the north and south and narrow in the east and west. Generally, if the troops are superior in the siege, the wide side is chosen as the direction of the attack. However, there are many people in the city and our soldiers are insufficient, so the attack may not progress and will suffer losses. We will eventually think of attacking from both sides of the east and west."
"There is a river on the east side. Do you mean to attack from the west side?" Sima Ji waved the deputy tooth goalkeeper back down, and then shook his head and said, "It is a way, but not the best way. I think that attacking the northwest corner of the capital of Dongfeng King is too rough. You should know that repairing the wall is easy to repair. The corners at the connection are very difficult and require more things. After the stone-capping unit is yellow, throw the fire source first, and then throw stones. The buildings in the city are mainly wood. At this time, the autumn is clear and the weather is cool, and it is the time for wildfires to grow."
"After the war starts, if you don't win for two hours, you will draw lots to behead one person, and postpone it for one hour. Three hours still won't work. If you draw one beheaded, I will kill you. You can kill the chief, the chief of the corps, and the chief of the corps. Have you heard it clearly?" Sima Ji pulled a smile on his lips and said softly, "During the war, I never joked. I will start to arrange the array the morning after tomorrow, and get all the weapons of the project one day. You must know that time is precious and wasted, and you will pay the price."
"I will understand!" Everyone agreed in unison. They had already learned about the style of King Yan. Sima Ji was the commander who could rest for a hundred days without any trouble, but as long as he decided to take action, he had to see the effect immediately.
On this day, Sima Ji led his personal guards to patrol the camp. When night fell, the coldness hit him. This was like reminding him that there was really no time. "What are your highness thinking?" Seeing Sima Ji stop, the personal guards beside him whispered.
"I hope the wind will blow the day after tomorrow, and I hope God will give you a face." Sima Ji opened his mouth and showed his white teeth, "We should always take the same account if we don't have much."
Why does the wind occupy the time? The guard who asked the question didn't understand very well, but he didn't dare to ask. Sima Ji had already returned to rest, so he could only keep this question in his heart.
In the early morning of that day, Sima Ji got up early and asked the maid to please the clothes and armor in a posture of crucifixion. He walked outside the tent with his eyes closed for a long time. In addition to being a little unconscious, he also felt the direction of the wind.
"Your Highness!" As soon as the maid spoke, Sima Ji raised his hand and signaled not to disturb him. He opened his eyes and smiled, "Northwest wind, God helps me, the army set out in a formation. Before dark, I will go to the city to sleep. I have enough sleep here."
A rectangular or square city cannot actually give full play to the greatest advantage of the defenders. Therefore, in later generations, leverbs emerged, and through geometry, the disadvantages of the enemy being large and the small being small were flattened to a level. The leverbs have never appeared in the Central Plains, and the tribes on these peninsulars would not have such an understanding.
The Jin army was lined up outside the capital of Dongfeng King. With the increasing northwest wind, Sima Ji divided the Jin army into three large, two small and three large military formations. The largest one was facing the northwest corner of the capital of Dongfeng King King. This made the defenders in the field a little unclear, so they didn't know why the Jin army outside the city was arranged like this.
In front of them, eighty trenchers had been pushed out, and the wooden pier soaked in oil was ignited and ignited.
"The other two military formations are feint attacks, and the main force rushed in after the city wall in the northwest corner is damaged. The formation is first attacked, and the formation is waiting for the time to change!" Because of the strong wind, Sima Ji had to increase the volume and all the output was roaring, so that the surrounding generals and schoolmen understood what they meant.
The other two divisions were divided into groups, one of the gentry children led by the King of Dong'an, and the other one was the Jurchens. As for the main formation, the Pingzhou Army under the command of the Dongyi School. With Sima Ji's order, the three formations of the Jin army began to change formations under the dull sound of cowhide drums. This action made the Dong-Ben defenders in the city feel tight. They knew that this was a sign that the Jin army was going to attack.
Sima Yao almost felt the advantage of the wind direction at the same time and led 5,000 gentry children to the north side of Shunfeng. At this time, the trencher on the main formation, Sima Ji had already started working with the wind. One by one, the wooden piers were ignited and burned, and then they were thrown into the city along the wind.
Half of the catapults threw stones. After some test and adjustment, all the catapults began to be shot. In sharp contrast to the catapults, the main formation of the Jin army was still motionless and stood in the strong wind.
The first one to start the battle was Sima Yao's side. Five thousand gentry disciples slowly advanced, and they suddenly accelerated within the range of the bow and arrows of the Dongqi Guards. They joined forces to attack the city on the north and north. As the strong wind blew from behind them, the bow and arrows of the Dongqi Guards were hindered, and their vision was somewhat affected, so the two sides in the battle abandoned bows and arrows, and were mainly swords, shields, guns and spears. The walls of the Dongqi Guards were relatively primitive, and the Jin army found a breakthrough when they came up.
Then the Jurchen camp began to fight. Compared with the smooth sailing of the Dong'an King, the Jurchen camp led by Zhang Dalishan suffered a lot of losses. They attacked against the wind, and the wind direction was very unfavorable. Sima Ji did not mean to deliberately harm others. Even if it was intentional, who could do what he could do?
The main formation of the Jin army where Sima Ji was still waiting for the effect of the catapult. He seemed to have no interest in the attacks of the other two sub-arrays, nor did he have any intention of helping. "The so-called fire borrows the wind, even if it doesn't catch fire, it doesn't matter. It's good to make the opponent busy!" Sima Ji, who put down the telescope, said calmly, "Once the city wall is damaged, the entire army will be taken immediately, and the victory or defeat must be decided in a short time."
