Chapter 639: Gambling
Fu Nianjun looked at the sky, and then said:
"If the goal of the Tangut people is to force the defenders in the city to hand over the princess Huai, they will inevitably carry out a fierce assault, so that you can't resist it from the beginning, I think, they will even send troops to surround it on all sides, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city will form the greatest panic, or...... The situation will be worse than I said, how to describe the battle of thousands of troops, I have not seen it, but you should know better than me. ”
Qi Zhaoruo was silent.
"But there is one thing, I believe the news in the city, but I may not believe it, I live with myself, the Xixia lord will not dare to put all the chips on Dunzhou, so they will only have the strongest wave of fast attack against us, and there is no follow-up, because of their remaining soldiers and horses, it should be said that the elite soldiers who are good at mountain warfare will be scattered near Weizhou, waiting for the opportunity to move at any time...... Few people in this world can have the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, the Xixia people are not worth the destruction of the cauldron and the sinking of the boat in Weizhou, and it is too risky to break the cauldron and sink the boat in Weizhou, but all people will have the idea of opportunism, for their most perfect battle plan, they should send at most two-thirds of the Western Xia soldiers to encircle and block the city, on the one hand, they paralyzed the army near Weizhou, on the other hand, they are not at a loss, whether it is to take hostages or seize the city, they can prepare for their next attack on Weizhou. And if the civil strife in Weizhou City expands first, they can still use their hidden one-third of their troops to sneak attack......"
Fu Nianjun paused when he said this, and looked at Qi Zhaoruo, with a lot of uncertainty in his eyes.
"But I'm only fifty percent sure, because I don't know who the main general of Western Xia is this time, and he plans for the worst, if he is a rare decisive and powerful person, he will simply press the whole army to Dunzhou, and Dunzhou will definitely not be able to hold it, I will become a hostage for them to push to the front of the battle, and at the same time, Junzhou will also fall into their hands, and Weizhou will become a confrontation, even if Weizhou's reinforcements come again, a difference of one point, the Song army will be at a disadvantage of this difference. ”
Weizhou's military strength should not be underestimated, but even so, if Yanzhou can be recaptured, it will be an empty city, and he Qi Zhaoruo and Fu Nianjun will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the Western Xia people.
In this game, they are gambling, and the Xixia people are also gambling, betting on whose courage is big, and betting on whose side God is on.
In one day, the journey from Weizhou to Yanzhou is only one day.
Breaking the city one day earlier and one day later is the gap of this day, and on the battlefield, one day is enough to open up the gap-like distance.
"So, Qi Zhaoruo, do you want to bet?"
Fu Nianjun asked Qi Zhaoruo calmly.
All she could tell him was these words.
Because anyone other than him would choose to send Fu Nianjun to the Xixia people.
No, according to the style of Liu Zhizhou and others, they will definitely know how to reason with emotion, and let Fu Nianjun go out of the city willingly.
Sacrificing one of her may be able to keep Juzhou, so why not do it?
Qi Zhaoruo smiled, and his smile was extremely relaxed.
"Bet? Is this a bet? I think we're going to win. ”
He said so.
"Because I believe that there will be no better general than you among the Tangut people. ”
An extremely serious tone.
Fu Nianjun lowered his eyes, and he was also a little emotional in his heart.
Did he trust her so much?
She is obviously only 50% sure, but he believes in her 10%.
If she made a mistake, Juzhou City would be buried with her!
What about the lives of his soldiers who believed in him so much, and the military order he made in front of Liu Zhizhou?
He didn't care.
"Good. Fu Nianjun raised his head and said in a firm tone, "I also believe that the people of Western Xia do not have the courage of you." ”
Qi Zhaoruo glanced at the city tower in the distance, and then said: "I estimated last night, the main force of the Western Xia soldiers is 200,000, and the capture of Yanzhou is not counting the dead and wounded and staying behind, and the soldiers and horses that can be sent out are at most 150,000, according to what you said...... If it is less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, three days, and Dunzhou can resist for three days at most. ”
If it's more than 100,000, then they've lost the bet.
"Three days. ”
Fu Nianjun repeated, and then said:
"Enough, in three days, reinforcements from Weizhou will arrive. ”
She can only hope that she and Zhou Yubai and his wife can really have a heart-to-heart relationship, he doesn't know that she is in the city of Dunzhou, but he definitely won't want to see the fall of Dunzhou.
In three days, Fu Nianjun believed that this time was enough for Zhou Yubai to deal with the affairs in Weizhou City.
******
Since it was decided, Qi Zhaoruo immediately took action, and in three days, he decided the life and death of everyone.
The first step for him to do is to ......
Lock up Liu Zhizhou first.
Fu Nianjun felt that he was really barbaric sometimes, but he had a good word for it.
"No one has the time to talk to him all the time, too much time, in short, when the disaster in Yanzhou passes, how will he go to the court and I will go with him. ”
Does the emperor still scold his unsuccessful nephew, he doesn't care for a long time.
Liu Zhizhou "called him sick", but Zhang Zhanzhi was let go to a certain extent, and he was happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, anyway, Liu Zhizhou's affairs had nothing to do with him.
When the large army of the Tangut people arrived outside the city of Yanzhou, almost every household in the city felt it.
Because there is a slight tremor in the ground from time to time.
The children were nestled in their mother's arms and did not dare to raise their heads, and the women also stared nervously at their men, asking a few words from time to time, "How is the situation?"
In fact, not to mention the people, the Song officers and soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but be stunned when they heard such movements.
Many people had only heard of 100,000 Iron Hoofs in the mouths of Mr. Storyteller, but this time, it seemed that this battle was so close to them for the first time.
Fu Nianjun stood on the city tower, but his eyes were calm.
The more the movement is big, the more it may prove that the Tangut people are also bluffing, 50,000 soldiers and horses can have the effect of 100,000 as long as they do a little trickery, but if it is a real 100,000 army, there may not be such a movement.
……
Amid the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves, the Tanguts began the first round of tentative sieges on Juzhou.
Qi Zhaoruo, Zhang Qizhi and others were well prepared, and the soldiers defending the city had already eaten and drunk enough and had plenty of strength, so under the orderly command, they were able to deal with the Tangut people, and they were busy and orderly, and soon the Tangut people stopped the pace of attacking the city.
The soldiers defending the city were very happy, but Qi Zhaoruo had a black face on his face and said calmly: "It's not the time to be happy. ”
Fu Nianjun was not allowed to stay in the city tower any longer, but she was not willing to leave too far.
"It was just to say hello. ”
She said this to Guo Da and He Dan, who were guarding her every inch.
The two of them looked more nervous than she was.
"After saying hello, it's time to get down to business......"
Fu Nianjun smiled.
