Chapter 64: Come and get some light
Yuan Zongdi and others frowned. This reason was quite sufficient, and they were speechless.
Huang Li cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, the two princes and the Marquis of Yidu, I still cherish my life very much. With the protection of the guards, and before the Qing army could react, they attacked the city first. On the contrary,
More secure."
Yuan Zongdi exchanged glances with Hao Yaoqi and Ta Tianbao again, and finally nodded helplessly and said: "In that case, I will follow you sir. However, I will also order the guards to protect you strictly and never let Mr.
Take risks."
"Okay, okay." Huang Li nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Don't let anyone take risks, just watch yourself and don't rush upwards! I didn't have this intention at first, hiding behind and shooting cold arrows, we are professionals.
I haven't mastered my sword skills yet. If the battlefield is a gang fight between young and Dangerous boys, I can cut from east to west with a watermelon knife! I can raise and lower the knife with one hand, without even blinking my eyes. Bragging!

After the plan was decided, Huang Li said goodbye and went out. He waited for Yuan Zongdi to send him elite men and followed him into the city at night.
However, the just defense reminded Huang Li. If you want to enter the city as soon as possible, the smoke and dust is indeed a problem. Without goggles and masks, how can you still not get a face covering?
In just over an hour, Li Yue came to report that the eight thousand advance troops had been assembled. Four officers came to see them and invited Huang Li to review them.
"Eight thousand?" Huang Li was extremely confused when he heard this number.
The two battalions are not 6,000, why are they forming a reinforced battalion?
Seeing Huang Li's puzzled expression, Li Yue explained with a smile: "These eight thousand generals are all elites in the army and belong to four divisions. They are sent by the princes and the Marquis of Yidu, each division has two thousand people..."
What kind of good thing is this? Everyone wants to get involved and perform well? Huang Li shook his head helplessly after listening to Li Yue's explanation.
The four elites are composed of Liu Tichun, Duke of Anhui, Li Laiheng, Duke of Lin, Houta Tianbao of Yidu, plus a joint venture between Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi.
It may not necessarily be to compete for the first place, but it must be done to let the third prince see the bravery of the elite of the department. Although Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng will be in the future, they cannot flatter the superiors and underestimate the inferiors. They must be fair.
Huang Li hurriedly invited the four generals in and greeted them one by one.
"The last general Gao Lingyun, please see Mr. Huang."
"The last general, Suo Yanlong, has met Mr. Huang."
"The last general, Wu Ziqiang, met Mr. Huang."
"The last general Feng Ke, please see Mr. Huang."
Huang Li returned the salute with a smile, and was very satisfied with the appearance of these four generals. They were all tall and strong, quite muscular, and even looked fierce. They must have been trained in battle.
"You generals, at first glance, you have been on the battlefield for a long time and have experienced hundreds of battles. But I am a newcomer. Please take care of me in this battle to break the city."
The four of them hurriedly bowed in humility. They had received strict orders from their superiors, and they probably knew Huang Li's identity, and they all looked very respectful.
Huang Li asked the four generals to sit down. After a detailed chat, he found out that these four were all commander-in-chief, and two of them were commander-in-chief. He couldn't help but be surprised.
You must know that in ancient times, in addition to being promoted to nobility, the chief soldier was already the official rank ceiling of military generals, and hanging seals was even more important.
This is because Huang Li doesn't know enough about the thirteen armies. There are many major generals and many generals, which is a bit messy.
Putting aside his surprise, Huang Li thought that it was because he was in a high position and was in a low position. It was specially arranged by Yuan Zongdi and others to ensure the success of the siege and protect his life.
"Have the two princes explained the battle plan and key points?" Huang Li looked around the generals with a smile and said slowly: "I will tell you again here so that all the generals will know."
Enter the city quickly and attack fiercely. Try to completely defeat the Qing army before they can react and organize a counterattack, causing the Qing army to fall into chaos.
"... After entering the city, attack quickly along the streets, move forward quickly, and ignore the threats behind you and on the flanks. The target is the granary and arsenal in the city."
"Although there is no latest reconnaissance information, based on the previous analysis of the buildings in the city, the granaries and arsenals are probably located in these few areas, and there will not be much change."
A piece of white paper was presented in front of the generals. Huang Li pointed at it and continued to arrange tactics, "To break the city from the north, our army will attack and advance along the two main streets, and then separate and move forward through other streets and alleys...
…”
There are two main streets in Yiling City, which are "two straight and two horizontal", extending in all directions around the city wall. Don't worry about the other small streets and alleys.
The distance between the first troops and the main group is only one mile. Considering the width of the blasted city wall, the influx of troops will not be very fast, it will be almost the same time as the front and rear feet.
In this way, the advance troops only have to rush forward and attack, and the task of occupying the walls on both sides and attacking along the walls is left to the larger group.
In this way, the troops who ascended first would also have backup to rely on, so that they would not advance alone and be surrounded by the Qing army.
Moreover, in Huang Li's opinion, there were 8,000 troops in the advance army and only 20,000 defenders in the city. Even though the troops were at a disadvantage, they had the advantage of assault and organization, and were unlikely to encounter an overly strong counterattack.<
/p>
"The smallest combat unit was divided into parts, and the smallest combat unit was designated as a thousand-man brigade to crush the Qing army's attempt to organize a counterattack; the follow-up troops will also act in the same way, rushing wherever there is fighting, and killing wherever there are enemies..."<
/p>
Winning in chaos relies on the overall superiority of troops and the panic and chaos caused by the sudden destruction of the city.
Time is the most precious thing. Advancing in a battle formation may be safe, but it will give the Qing army the opportunity to burn their food and supplies.
This will only be done when the Qing army believes that the city's fall is a foregone conclusion. Moreover, this requires receiving an order from above, and the Qing army guarding the warehouse will not dare to make arbitrary decisions.
After Huang Li finished speaking, he glanced at the generals and asked: "Generals, I've finished speaking. Is there anything you don't understand or do you have any better suggestions?"
The four generals exchanged glances with each other, and Wu Ziqiang, the commander-in-chief of the sealing department, bowed and replied: "The generals have understood this and will definitely act according to the plan."
Huang Li nodded, reached for the face covering he had just made, which was a triangular piece of red cloth, and said: "This is for covering the face to prevent dust. You tell your soldiers that each one must prepare one. The color will vary."
Limited."
As he spoke, he also put a red cloth over his face to demonstrate, and explained: "When the city wall collapsed, dust flew into the sky, and vision and breathing were affected. Although this cannot prevent everything, it still has some effect."<
/p>
"I will obey the order." The four generals bowed to accept the order and retired.
