Six hundred and twelve, battlefield experience
There are only two easy roads to attack the royal palace. One is the rear door. Although the back door is narrower, it is not as strong as the front door. Moreover, there is a section of the walls of many backyards that are not as high and strong as other places.
However, if there is a back door, it is not good. The back door is a forest, which is rugged and difficult to walk on. There is also a crisscrossing Wangfu Industrial Zone. If you are not careful during the day, you will get lost, let alone the dark night. Therefore, if the rebels attack, it is unlikely to go through the back door, but it is just not very likely.
If there are traitors in the mansion or workers working in the back mountain leading the way, it is not impossible to go through the back door, so Qi Fang divided his troops to the back door.
The main entrance is the most likely place to attack, because the main entrance is very wide and the wooden door is easier to break than the high wall.
After everything was arranged, Qi Fang ordered people to light a large number of torches in the front yard and the door, and even burned a lot of fires in front of the gate, illuminating the gate and its surroundings as daylight, then moving the table over and putting it in front to form a bunker. Several boxes of rosin flares prepared early were brought and distributed to each new soldier one by one.
The new army's position is on the steps of the main hall, and there is also a two-story attic corridor above, about 60 steps away from the gate. The new army has special night battle training and has tactics to deal with various complex night battle situations.
But the most desired ideal environment is to use darkness to light up, put yourself in the dark, and let the enemy come out of a place with a light source, so Qifang did this. All the candles in the main hall were extinguished, and only the artillery in the patio behind had special glass oil lamps.
Tianshi was standing on their side, and Qifang couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe this is what the destiny of heaven is!
On the fifteenth day of the moon, the bright moonlight shines down, just so that people can clearly see what is around them, and the musketeers can easily fill it.
Fires are everywhere around the gate. If someone launches an attack from the main gate, they will be in a state where the new army can see them, but they cannot see the new army clearly.
Everything is well arranged, and the poems and Qi Fang are relaxed.
Qi Fang said, "You go and stay with them in the back, and I will deal with it in front."
"No." The poem directly refused.
"You're in the way here." Qi Fang excited her.
The poem is unmoved: "This is my duty, and the survival of the royal palace is my survival."
"If you know this, go to the back. If I die, the palace will not be in chaos. What should we do if we are all dead?" Qi Fang looked at her.
Under the moonlight, two stubborn women looked at each other, very close to each other, and they held their breath without giving in, sparks burst into the air.
Finally, Shiyu took a deep breath, "I'll go to the backyard. If there is nothing wrong with the backyard later, I'll bring someone here to support you."
Qi Fang did not object and nodded, "It's at least two quarters of an hour to exchange fire. Keep your breath and don't guarantee that they will go through the back door."
Shiyu didn't say anything and turned around and went to the backyard.
Qi Fang also took a deep breath, staring at the direction of the bright fire door. The air was filled with tension, and everyone was staring at the walls in the distance.
"Start the matter, the prince is really rebelling?" A soldier asked, obviously they heard the conversation just now.
Qi Fang nodded, "Attention, the prince has long been resentful to the prince. He must be the elite of the imperial guards, and he must not let go of his carelessness."
Everyone nodded one after another, and felt at ease.
Qifang is different from poetry. The poetry is based on political considerations and naturally has to speak without any leakage. However, as the commander of the army, she also commanded the Huaihua Prefecture Army for many years. She understands the so-called military affairs and the place of life and death. The most taboo is hesitation and uncertainty!
Not only are they afraid of hesitation in the on-site command, but they are also psychological.
If she fights or doesn't fight, she must give the soldiers a clear letter so that the soldiers can make up their minds, because this matter is not a joke, but a life that may lose its life at any time. No one in the world is afraid of death.
Even if she hesitated, she couldn't know whether the news was accurate or whether it would start to fight.
But we must never let the soldiers hesitate, and we must make the soldiers firmly believe that they are going to fight. If the commander's will is unstable, and if he fights or does not fight, he cannot give the soldiers a clear message, everyone will also be swaying, hesitant, difficult to make up their minds, and mentally unprepared, and often make mistakes when fighting.
Qi Fang's accurate letter quickly worked. After hearing this, everyone's breathing became much heavier, obviously he became more nervous, but soon they calmed down, quieter and more focused.
At this moment, the exclamations of the crowd from the street came from outside the wall in the distance, and the noise was endless. Then the fire was bright and slowly moved towards the direction of the royal palace.
A team of scouts sent out rushed into the gate and shouted: "Get in charge of business! The rebels are here!"
Qi Fang ordered: "Close the door!"
Several scouts closed the door, inserted the door bolt, and then returned to the formation.
Soon, the noise and noise outside the door became louder. The soldiers on the second floor shouted at Qi Fang: "The street is full of people! The corner behind is still coming, at least hundreds, and there are more!"
"They surrounded the gate!"
Soon, the door outside the wall was shining into the sky, and everyone could hear the dense sound of footsteps and the brush of the friction of armor.
"When you are in charge of business, you are all elite soldiers, at least seven hundred! Do you want to open fire?" The people upstairs continued to report that the street outside the gate of the royal palace had already shot into the sky. The fire could be seen clearly through the wall of the royal palace, and it was still surrounded by the screams of the people.
The new soldiers' breathing was also much heavier.
"Don't open the fire first, they can't see you now, keep an eye on the enemy's movements, don't expose them." Qi Fang ordered the soldiers upstairs.
Then he whispered: "Everyone is calm! They are many people, we have guns and cannons! They will be shooting towards the gate later, so they can only come in from there."
Everyone nodded slightly.
Slowly, the outside of the gate became quiet and the rebels had completed the encirclement of the gate.
Someone knocked on the door heavily and then said, "Listen to the people inside, King Jin is planning a rebellion. We are ordered by the emperor to capture his princess, Wang and Yu. As long as you open the door and surrender and hand over the two of you, we will never hurt the innocent! Otherwise, after we attack, everyone will be punished on the same day and beheaded on the spot!"
"Listen to the people inside, King Jin is planning a rebellion. We are ordered by the emperor to capture his princess, Wang and Yu. As long as you open the door and surrender and hand over the two of them, we will never hurt the innocent! Otherwise, after we attack, everyone will be punished the same crime and behead them on the spot!"
“…….”
These words were shouted several times in succession, and the voice was very loud. A new army soldier couldn't help but curse: "Don't let your mother go! Let's curse you back!"
Qi Fang shook her head: "No, don't speak out, this is some veterans' tricks."
Everyone whispered in confusion: "What trick?"
Qi Fang said, "Look at the front, and I will tell you after I finish these crooked melons and jujubes."
This trick was the lesson learned by the Huaihua Fuxiang Army when it was suppressing bandits. At that time, he and his second brother led their troops to suppress a group of well-known bandits in the area. They met them while exploring the way at dusk. They were under the slope and the bandits were above them. Both sides confronted each other on both sides of the ridge for a long time and they dared not advance until it got dark and the other party began to call for surrender and ask for their lives.
At that time, the second brother thought the other party was afraid and couldn't hold back, so he asked someone to tell them to death as long as they put down their weapons and walk down.
As a result, before they could speak, there was a wave of arrows coming from the face. Four people were shot to death on the spot, and more than a dozen people were injured. The second brother Qi Rui was also shot in the butt. They dragged the dead body and fled down the hill in a mess.
