Chapter 296 The Liangzhou Army fought to the death in Luoyang (twenty)
Zhang's pressure increased, but he would not reveal anything in front of the soldiers, at least they would not see anything. Because for him, the Liangzhou army put more and more pressure on his side, which was already making his soldiers anxious. As the main general, he naturally saw it earlier, so could the soldiers increase their pressure? Therefore, Zhang didn't say much, because he knew that it was useless to say more. Only in reality can it be of great use. That is to say, he could defeat the Liangzhou army.
One move and a half-stage are definitely better than anything else, this is certain. If you hurt Zhang Ren, then your soldiers will definitely have a big morale rise, and there is no need to say much. Then, if their Liangzhou army hurts themselves, then they will be the same, with their morale rising, and their morale falling. If Zhang Ren is injured, they will have a big morale falling, that's it.
But this matter is easy to say, but if it is done, it is really difficult, especially when the two armies are fighting to the death, it is definitely not an easy task to hurt the general, and this is certain. So even if Zhang had this idea, he was working hard in this direction, but he also knew that this matter was basically unlikely, indeed.
If it were possible, then what I thought might have been successful long ago, and I still have to wait until now? So...
A night battle ended like this. For both sides, they were actually satisfied. After all, their goal was actually achieved, so it was naturally possible. Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army, even in the night battle, did not have so many requirements for Zhang Ren. After all, it was the previous stage, so Ma Chao's request for Zhang Ren was not as long as it was during the day, so it was naturally no big deal.
As for Zhang, he even forced the Liangzhou army to retreat, which was his ultimate goal. So now that he is like this, he is naturally satisfied and has nothing to say. For Zhang, the battle that has been in more than ten days can be regarded as the beginning, but something can be seen from here. The first is that he cannot protect Luoyang unless his lord really wants to fight to the death here.
It would be possible to send more troops. Because the current situation is that our side has not invested more troops in Luoyang, but the Liangzhou army has no need to say more about the tens of thousands of troops that had been added before. Zhang is very convinced that if their Liangzhou army loses tens of thousands of people at this time, Ma Chao must have to send troops from other places to come here! Because his attitude is there
As for, Ma Chao's attitude is the attitude of the Liangzhou army! He wants to fight to the death with his own side, and he will never give up until he takes Luoyang. This is what Zhang believes. Therefore... he has no way to fight against such a Liangzhou army, because they have already made up their own efforts, but on this side, he can only rely on these people to fight with them. Although both sides are fighting to the death, obviously from the general trend, now they don't have much advantage, and they have all the advantages to go to the other side. This should be said to be from Liang
This is how the state army increased by tens of thousands. In Zhang's idea, he hoped to have a quit. At least that would allow him to take a break. Yes, the Liangzhou army would also rest, but compared to them, it was obvious that he needed more rest now. It can be said that those who have the advantage would not want to rest halfway, such as their Liangzhou army.
Those who are at a disadvantage, just like their own side, are indeed Zhang feels that they need it very much. At least if they adjust, it will be more beneficial to their side. Of course, the Liangzhou Army will also be beneficial to them, but if they compare with their own side, it is obviously the one who needs it more, not them. However, if the Liangzhou Army does not rest, there will be nothing to do with them. After all, this is different from being in a diplomatic war. If one side does not fight, if you want to quit, you will just hang the battle card and the other side will not have any big deal.
Action. Unless they want to attack the camp and die, there is no way, they can only stay with them to the end. There is no problem at other times. But this city is not good, as long as they attack, it is impossible to quit. You want to quit, but can they give you this opportunity? Isn't that kidding, it's impossible. So Zhang Du knows that the initiative is not on his side, but on his side. If the Liangzhou army is going to quit, then once they rest, they have to rest, whether they want to quit or not.
They were attacking the city, and their side were just defending the city. They took the initiative, and their side was passive. But Zhang hoped that they would take the initiative to rest or something, which would be the best. But obviously, it was still the same thing, and they would take the initiative to rest when they were dominant. Anyway, their Liangzhou army was going to really rest, and they were not able to ask for it. No matter how you say it, they would never leave the city again.
Give them a night attack or something. They have rested, that is, they can only rest like this, and it is best to do this, but Zhang also knows that it is impossible. Anyway, if he is Ma Chao, it will not be like this. At this time, not only will he not be able to rest, but he also has to attack quickly. This is what their Liangzhou army is going to do, what they should do, and must do, and so on.
After ten days, it really counted that the Liangzhou army had been attacking Luoyang for almost a month, but it still failed to capture Luoyang! It has to be said that Luoyang's city is tall and solid, with so many guards on the top of the city, and with Zhang, the general, there are enough food and grass. So, so together, it is impossible for the Liangzhou army to break the city in one month, if nothing unexpected happens. And isn't that what it means now? It has not been able to break the city in the past month, but the losses of both sides are quite large, and the situation of the war
It's quite tragic, and that's right. Both sides are indeed fighting to the end, and it seems like that. After all, as long as one side fights to the death, the other side must do so. Otherwise, if someone fights to the death and you don't do all your strength, then you will really die. Isn't that the case? And for the Yanzhou Army, this is even more so, many of them hope.
Looking at the end, the city was destroyed, and when my general led his troops to retreat, he could still run back to Sishui Pass with the general. That would be the best, it would be great. However, although this situation is not impossible, the probability is too small. Yes, my side basically won't be wiped out, but the ones who survived in the end are rare, probably
It's really not much different. But even though this is the case, it can't change the minds of the soldiers in Yanzhou who want to escape alive. Some of them want to escape, and some even take action. But as a result, only some people really ran away, but probably ran home, and then took their families and ran away again. But more of them were caught by Zhang. The same place was almost the same. There was only one way to deal with deserters, and there was no other saying. Because those who escaped basically had no intention of fighting.
So even if you stay, it is useless, and it will even have a counterproductive effect. Do you know whether they will surrender to the enemy? So you can only kill, there is no other way. And this is also a warning to one person and a warning to the monkey. It is very necessary to use dead soldiers to shock the living. This method is good. But this is just that there are fewer people running away. If there are too many, everyone will be fine.
There is no other way. At that time, all the generals would have to run away. After all, all the soldiers ran away. Who would have guarded the city with you? So... But the Yanzhou Army basically would not be like this and that would not happen. If you say that they were wiped out, it would be possible. This is normal. But if they all ran away all of a sudden, this would be impossible. If that happens, it would be basically not the Yanzhou Army, at least not the Yanzhou Army here in Luoyang. If that is true, then
How unlucky is the main general? How many failures are? At least Zhang is not like that, this is correct. On this evening, Ma Chao specially invited everyone to a banquet. Of course, it can also be said that his side performed well these days, so Ma Chao also had a reason, saying that he was treating everyone. Otherwise, there would be no reason, so he would not say much. After everyone had a good meal, Ma Chao asked the soldiers to remove the remaining soup and then talked to everyone. The main reason was that he talked about the war in the past month, "Everyone, everyone
It's really hard in the past month. It took more than twenty days to get such an advantage. It's really not easy!" Ma Chao would like to summarize first. Overall, he was quite satisfied. Although he looked at the current situation, or it's already been a month, but he hasn't broken the city and hasn't occupied Luoyang. But everyone knows this, it's really hard to be impatient. After all, Luoyang can
It's not an ordinary place, nor the previous places, so this situation is as expected by everyone, and this is true. But how to say it, they also hope that the war can end sooner and occupy the city earlier will be better than anything else, right? But now, we have to go there for another month. If we can occupy Luoyang, we can support it.
Not bad. And they didn't say much about their lord's words. After all, at this time, when their lord said something, especially when they praised them, they couldn't do anything. Only Ma Chao continued to say: "But judging from the current situation, if we want to break the city, we still have a long way to go! What do you think?" When everyone heard it, they all spoke at this time, "What the lord said is very good!" This is not a prank, but more importantly, they really agree with themselves.
If my lord said that, I really thought about it carefully, it wasn't that the case. Now I have the advantage, but it's still too early to break the city. Unless something really happened, that would be the case, I guess I could break the city tomorrow. But without that big accident, it might not be good if I had another month. It can be said that the best result is that I will break the city in another month.
At that time, I might be able to break Luoyang, almost like this. But even so, everyone thought that in another month, the time will not be too long. Yes, compared with the other places I occupied before, Luoyang is the one that has been delayed the most and longest, but I don’t even look at what the situation is in Luoyang, so even if it is delayed, it will be even more
After a long time, they actually think it is quite normal. Of course, if it takes too long for a long time, they will naturally not think it is good, even if the city is broken, they will not feel too happy. After all, they have a time limit. Within a certain period of time, they will all accept it. But if it exceeds their bottom line, then this result, even if the result reaches what they think, will still disappoint them a little. But looking at the current situation, everyone has thought about it.
In a month, there is basically no problem. At least one month later, how many Yanzhou soldiers can be found in Luoyang City? This is a very important issue, so at that time, they will not be able to stop so many people on their side, so... After that, Ma Chao said a few simple words, and during this period he also made everyone say a few. Of course, not everyone said, just a few, for example
Zhang Ren, Guo Jia, Zhang Xiu and others, Ma Chao personally named him. Zhang Ren is the main general who leads troops to attack now. He has to say a few words. After all, it is now at this time, and Ma Chao will definitely not let him go. Then Guo Jia, the only adviser here and the top adviser, must be named by Ma Chao, and at least he is listening to the ideas of his adviser.
Finally, Zhang Xiu was in Sili, and in addition to Zhang Ren, he also brought a soldier, so Ma Chao also wanted to hear what he said. After all, Zhang Xiu is also a representative of everyone, at least Ma Chao thought so. In the end, Ma Chao said everything he should say and talked with everyone for a long time, so he sent them back. But in the end he said to everyone: "Everyone, I'll continue to work hard in the future and strive to take Luoyang as soon as possible!" "No!" Everyone said in unison, but in fact they were all like
This idea is indeed the same as Ma Chao. They are even more anxious than Ma Chao, but they just said nothing. Everyone said goodbye and left one after another, leaving only Ma Chao. Of course, he left Guo Jia, so of course he had something to tell him. But there was nothing big, it was just some situations in Chang'an, and of course it also included several important military forces.
Some situations in the town. Ma Chao also asked Guo Jia that after the Sili war was over, he had a rest in the end. He thought Guo Jia had an idea.
