Chapter 726 Find a place to vent the fire
Zhang Baogui is sick, has no appetite, is in a trance, and hides in his room and doesn't want to see anyone.
Suzy's affairs hit him a big blow. He grew up so much and had many women. But Suzy brought him a different feeling. During this period, he devoted himself to his feelings. He never thought that this would be the result.
Li You didn't persuade him either. This kind of persuasion is useless and takes time to heal the inner trauma.
On that day, Li You looked for Zhang Baogui, and Zhang Baobei was lying on the camp bed and her butt was facing outward, and she ignored him.
Li You smiled and said, "Do you want to go out and vent your anger?"
Zhang Baogui turned his head and looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
Li You said: "If you want, let's take the Flying Tiger Army to the front line to attack Pingchuan City."
When Zhang Mougui heard this, he sat up. He was full of evil fire now, and he wanted to fight with anyone, even if he was fighting with himself. What he wanted to do most now is to go to the frontline to make himself full and have no time to think about those sad things.
However, the entire Eastern Expedition Army had unified arrangements and did not send any combat tasks to the Flying Tiger Army. It seemed that Li You went to ask for instructions for him.
Zhang Baogui said, "Brother You, you still understand me, let's set off now."
As he said that, he started to wear shoes and tidy up his clothes.
Li You said: "Call the generals of the Flying Tiger Army here, let's discuss it together."
Zhang Baogui put on his clothes and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. He turned his head and said embarrassedly: "Brother You, I'm really sorry. Because of my negligence, I almost killed your life."
Li You walked over, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "I really have to thank you very much when talking about this. I know how embarrassed you are to save me and what price you have paid. You are really my good brother!"
Zhang Baogui's grievance was completely released by Li You's words. He hugged Li You with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother You." He started crying.
After a while, Li You patted his back and said, "Good brother, the past is over. Go and call someone!"
Zhang Baogui wiped his tears and opened the door and went out.
After a while, all the generals of the Flying Tiger Army arrived.
The officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army had heard of Li You's heroic behavior in Tuyuhun and deep behind the enemy in Persia, but most people, including some of these generals, did not see it with their own eyes.
In the kidnapping incident that happened not long ago, everyone saw Li You being kidnapped by the enemy, without fear and did not take personal life and death seriously at all. His calmness and courage made everyone admire him.
When everyone saw Li You, they saluted him respectfully.
Li You said: "Our Flying Tiger Army is the sharpest steel knife in the Tang army, and it must be used at the most critical moments. History has proved that Flying Tiger Army is worthy of the title of Flying Tiger.
Now, there is one thing that needs to be used by our Flying Tiger Army. How about it, do you have the confidence to complete the task?"
Hearing Li You say this, everyone said together: "Please give your order, I will never refuse to die."
Li You pointed at a small dot on the marching table and said, "This is Pingchuan City. It is a military city and the first gateway to Pyongyang.
The terrain here is steep, with two mountains and one river together. Pingchuan City is built in this canyon, blocking the way for the Tang army to advance. This city has been attacked for many days. Due to the restrictions of the terrain, the attack was repeatedly set and caused considerable casualties.
I specially asked my father for instructions and the Flying Tiger Army would complete this task."
Pingchuan City.
The person responsible for attacking Pingchuan City was the Tang army general Niu Jinda.
Li You, Zhang Baogui and the generals of the Flying Tiger Army, accompanied by Niu Jinda, went to the surrounding area of Pingchuan City to observe the terrain.
The canyon where Li You and others are located is different in different locations. The location chosen by Pingchuan City is at the narrowest part of this canyon. The width here is less than 50 steps, and there are steep and difficult-to-climb cliffs on both sides. It is impossible to use a side-by-side roundabout attack.
Pingchuan City is easy to obtain, all made of stone, and is extremely sturdy. Neither the stone thrower nor the fire attack can destroy it.
The city wall is very tall and cannot reach the siege vehicles. Only by using an extended cloud ladder can you barely reach the top of the city wall. However, the cloud ladder is too long and not only difficult to carry, but also its own weight is too large and its strength is not enough. At the same time, two people can barely bear it. When three people go up, the cloud ladder may be broken directly.
This limits the speed of the troops to be sent. Even if someone can barely get up, the speed of the people following behind is too slow and untenable, and they can only die.
Niu Jinda and others tried their best and had no choice but to do anything about it.
Niu Jinda and others were very happy about the arrival of Li You and others. After observing the terrain, Niu Jinda said: "What are your best solutions?"
Li You also had a headache. He shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. Let's go back and discuss together first."
Niu Jinda said: "The last time the fire attacked Anshi City was effective, so we might as well take the same method to break Pingchuan City."
The Tang army burned Anshi City, which once caused great panic to the Goguryeo people. Many cities surrendered without fighting, but the Tang army never took such action again.
The Goguryeo people later figured out the means by which the Tang army burned Anshi City, and believed that the Tang army was temporarily unable to carry out such a siege, so they began to insist on defending the city again.
This is true. The Huoyang City was prepared for a long time by Li You and others, and consumed a lot of substances, especially hot turkey oil. In that attack, the hot turkey oil they brought was basically used up. Now, all of them are added up, only more than 200 pots of hot turkey oil are left.
When attacking a city, a small amount of fierce turbulent oil does not work at all. Only by conducting fire attacks without blind spots like Huokuanshi City can it be possible to destroy the city. However, it requires a large amount of materials. At present, the Tang army does not have the ability to carry out the second fire attack of this scale.
Hearing Niu Jinda's question, Li You shook his head again and said, "There are not much left in our fierce turbulent oil. The production base of fierce turbulent oil is far away in Yan'an Prefecture, and transportation is very difficult. It is temporarily impossible to carry out a fire attack like burning An City."
Niu Jinda was disappointed when he saw that Li You and others had no good ideas. He had always heard that Li You used his troops like a god and won countless battles. It seemed that he had taken some tricks. He could not help but encounter such a strong city.
