One day passed, and Guo Shao didn't sleep well at night.
Early the next morning, the light outside the tent was hazy and foggy, and the weather should not change. The fog was formed last night by the undispersed smoke.
Your Majesty, I will burn you hot water.Lu Chengyong said behind him.
No need.Guo Shao took his eyes away from outside the tent, buried his head, and held up the cold water in both hands and poured it on his face.He exhaled and continued to wash his face with cold water.
His mind seemed to be a little clearer, and he clearly saw the blue veins, pores on his arms, and water droplets on his coppery skin.
When he stood up, a personal soldier next to him handed over a cotton towel, and Guo Shao wiped his face and arms casually.
Swishy... A servant was grinding ink.Neat footsteps sounded outside the account, and two rows of soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp swords walked outside, and the two young generals handed over the military talisman step by step.
Guo Shao threw down the towel, walked to the wooden table and sat down. He picked up the brush and dipped it back and forth in the inkstone. He quickly drew a crooked right-angle triangle on the paper, and then drew a vertical pattern in the middle.
This vertical line is like the height of the city wall of Youzhou City.One right angle is the watchtower, and the other side is the ground distance from the watchtower to the castle position in the city.
The vertical line (city wall) divides the large right-angle triangle into two similar triangles, one large and one small.Similar sides are proportional, and it is very simple to estimate the geometry knowledge of junior high school; at least for Guo Shao.
If you want to build some watchtowers that can see the catapult position... First of all, the nearest position is 200 steps away from the wall (about 300 meters). If it is too close, it may be within the range of heavy city-defense weapons such as catapults and crossbows, and will become a fixed target.
Secondly, the city wall is three zhang high (about ten meters). According to the ratio of the triangle side length, if the watchtower is six zhang high, you can only see the scenery inside the city 200 steps away from the city wall.
That is to prove that it is impossible to see the ordnance positions in the city by building a watchtower... The Liao army could not place the catapult cart two hundred steps away from the city wall, so that they could only hit their own people.
At this moment, the sound of horns sounded in the air, varying in length and very boring and monotonous.
Guo Shao looked up and put down the brush, looked up and observed the light outside.It was bright, but it seemed like it would take some time for the sun to rise.
A servant wearing a cloth combed hair into his hair and said, "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."
I rinse my mouth first, then eat.Guo Shao's tone was stable.
The sound of the horn outside the account will distract people's attention, making Guo Shao feel a little irritable; and it is a signal of preparation and will accelerate the sense of urgency.
But he still did not panic and ate breakfast while riding a horse like some ministers in Tokyo.
But his movements obviously became faster, fast but not messy.
Guo Shao's heart always believed that all things are composed of particles such as atoms and molecules. This concept would imply that he: keep accustomed to small things, but still be under control of big things.
He packed it up and picked up a short sword with a golden lace on his scabbard and hung it on his waist, then helped it to a convenient position.Several attendants in the account bent down and bowed to Guo Shao.
The sun has risen in the east, and it is still sunny today.But the residual smoke above the camp made the sun look dim, as if there was haze surrounding the sun.
Just like Guo Shao's mood, things really didn't go well.
When I walked out of the tent, my vision was wide. There were knights running around outside the camp. A large number of soldiers were preparing weapons and weapons. Some craftsmen built weapons in the camp, and the saw made a buzzing noise.
As soon as he walked outside the central army's tent, he suddenly saw Jingniang walking over quickly, and Guo Shao slowed down and waited.
Jingniang looked back and handed a torn envelope to Guo Shao without saying a word.
The secret mail of the Bing Caosi had already discovered a large number of Liao cavalry between Tanzhou (Miyun) and Shunzhou.Guo Shao thought about it slightly and thought to himself: As expected, the Liao army was still the closest Gubeikou.
When they walked into the central army's tent, a group of civil officials and military generals were already waiting there. When they saw Guo Shao, they stood up to salute.
Guo Shao strode to the upper position and sat down.Wang Pu immediately clasped his fists and said: The old minister has one thing that needs to be reported first. Last night, several tunnels were seeped in water, so he had to abandon them and choose another place.
Guo Shao frowned and said: Why is water seeping now?
As soon as the Zhou army arrived in Youzhou City, they began to build the fortifications in the city, so they chose a location to start digging tunnels... Gunpowder bombing the city and artillery jointly attacked the city, which was very successful. This time they still mastered the same tricks, without any reason to change these tactics.
Wang Pu said: The groundwater in Youzhou seems to be in different depths. Although we dug wells to test the depth, water still seeped as the progress progressed.
After hearing this, Guo Shao said: I will select the location again and I will go to the site for inspection later.
Wang Pu asked again: The Central Army discussed building a watchtower last night. Can the front camp military mansion arrange personnel?
Guo Shao felt that building a watchtower was of little use... but it was not completely useless. At a high place, it was easier to estimate the position of the enemy's catapult car by the projected stones.
Moreover, the Central Army immediately came up with solutions to stabilize the morale of the army.
As for the way to fill the river and attack the city, even if there are more casualties than before, you cannot stop!
Time is tight, and the first batch of reinforcements from the Liao army have entered the Hebei region.Guo Shao immediately took out the report from the Military and Cao Si and handed it over to Wang Pu, and issued an order to understand the situation of the Tang Dynasty.
After a simple discussion, Guo Shao ordered the first drum to be sounded in the central army.The military office also sent a commemorative force to convey military orders to various places.
Amid the rumbling drums, the felt covering the cannon was lifted, and the soldiers in a row slowly moved forward.On the earth outside Youzhou City, it was like a huge machine running.
……
Towards the northeast of Wenyu River, seven or eight cavalry and Zhou army light cavalry were wandering slowly along a stream, following another horse soldier opposite from each other.
The light cavalry of the Zhou army was not wearing heavy armor, but was equipped with leather armor; the cavalry was even equipped with new plate armor... The cavalry, which was just war horses, did not wear iron armor, all belonged to the light cavalry.
The horse team opposite the stream is more than ten Liao army cavalry.Both sides did not act rashly or ran away.
The Zhou army led the lead of a ten generals. This was his first time to encounter Liao cavalry when he wandered around for many days, so he did not leave immediately.
Both sides observed each other in a distance, about a hundred steps away, without saying loudly, as if they were guessing each other's intentions.
The stream is not wide or deep, but half a person is still deep, which will definitely affect the speed of the charge. There are still many rocks in the stream.
The skilled cavalry has more than twenty steps of cavalry shooting, and its body is not as easy to borrow as much as the ground.
So this distance is very subtle and cannot conflict immediately, but you can see clearly the other party's every move.
Some soldiers were holding bows and arrows, while others were holding swords and guns, nervously observing and riding slowly.
At this moment, a small group of horse soldiers slowly approached in the northwest.In the sun, the plate armor reflects, and it looks like Zhou's troops.
The morale of Zhou army suddenly increased and they were about to try.
Don't worry, watch.Ten generals observed their own people's origin and distance, took out a branch and blew it horizontally, and made an ugly sound.
The Liao army on the other side looked sideways, looking at the stream and the horse team in the northwest.
The atmosphere suddenly became even tighter. The ten generals of Zhou army immediately stopped blowing, carefully pulled out the arrow from the quiver pot, and said in a deep voice: Brothers, please pay attention. They turned around and ran and rushed immediately!
He glanced at it and both sides were walking to a beach.This section of stream is extremely short, not deep, but also flat and spacious.
Prepare!
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden scream from the other side, and suddenly turned around and charged towards this side!The ten generals read it right, and the Liao army's ranger did not run away, but rushed over.
The Zhou soldiers had already rushed towards the ground and slapped the horses and rushed towards each other. The ten generals no longer hesitated and shouted: Kill!
The horses slammed the horses straight and accelerated. The horses ran very fast and quickly stepped into the stream.
The white waves suddenly splashed, and the ten generals widened their eyes, tense all over, quickly pulled the bowstring and aimed at the Liao cavalry in the front, Bang!A string sounded.
He hit the target, but the opponent was not caught off guard, and the distance was still a little farther, and the arrow shot on the opponent's armor.
After a moment, the strings immediately crackled.The arrows shot on Zhou Jun's plate armor and jingled and made a sound.
The ten generals hurriedly put away their bow without saying a word and pulled out a slender saber from their backs.The shouts of killing suddenly started to roar.
clang!The ten generals saw the sparks flashing in front of them, and the swords collided, making the tiger's mouth numb.The blade burst out.
A scream immediately sounded, and a Liao cavalry slammed a Zhou army with a bronze bone (blunt weapon) on the shoulder of a Zhou army, and the Zhou army soldiers were dismissed.
The two sides intertwined and rushed past each other, and the sound of striking the frames sounded from time to time.
A Zhou army cavalry stabbed and missed the Liao army cavalry with a horse spear. The horse spear was heavier than other horse weapons. However, he did not expect that the Liao army cavalry had been knocked off the horse. The guy followed the trend and recovered from the force, but he did not fall off the horse. He sat back on the saddle flexibly.
Ah!A scream.When the ten generals dodged a cavalry, they seized the exact opportunity to shoot out the knife, hit a Liao army, and then rushed past, leaving only the blood from the blade flying in the wind.
Soon the two armies passed by, and the remaining people of the Zhou army hurriedly stabilized their horses and rushed forward, stopped and turned their heads.
The ten generals hurriedly looked at it, and three cavalry were damaged in one confrontation. They were all injured and dismissed, and they were still struggling in the stream.
The eight cavalry lost half at once, while only one cavalry was cut to death and one cavalry was injured.
The Liao army has twice as many as itself.
Rumble... The seven or eight cavalry and Zhou army in the northwest accelerated reinforcements.The ten generals turned their heads quickly and looked at them.
Someone hurriedly said: Wait for reinforcements before coming!
The ten generals looked at the three injured cavalry in the stream, and the Liao army had turned around and started rushing back.
The ten generals said anxiously: If you leave now, the three brothers will be hacked to death first!There was no time to weigh the battle at all, and the ten generals shouted: Kill!
Early the next morning, the light outside the tent was hazy and foggy, and the weather should not change. The fog was formed last night by the undispersed smoke.
Your Majesty, I will burn you hot water.Lu Chengyong said behind him.
No need.Guo Shao took his eyes away from outside the tent, buried his head, and held up the cold water in both hands and poured it on his face.He exhaled and continued to wash his face with cold water.
