Chapter 69: Driving the Rats (2)
β...... For more information, and listen to the next breakdown...... "Mu Tianxiang hurriedly ran after speaking.
The bottom was listening to the wails of Mu Lingzhu, Mu Jiajia, the proprietress and Shangguan Jin and others.
"Daddy, can you talk about it again?" Mu Lingzhu said coquettishly while holding Mu Tianxiang.
"Mu Tianxiang, is it interesting that you hang people all day long?" Shangguan Jin, who had just recovered from the grief of losing his loved ones, shouted angrily.
"That's it, it's ......" Nangong Yan and Ouyang Xiaozhi also echoed in unison.
"Today, I'm not in the mood to cook. The proprietress threatened directly.
......
"I still have things to do, important things to deal with, tomorrow, tomorrow. Mu Tianxiang hurriedly defended.
The heart said, it's only been a few days, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has already been talked about halfway, and it seems that the future process must be controlled, otherwise what if the story is finished?
Mu Tianxiang, who escaped, joined Geng Biao, who had also gathered at the door to listen to the story, and came to the meeting hall.
"How's the battle going now?" asked Mu Tianxiang.
Li Muran is worthy of being the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the general pastor, and the style of conducting is also like flowing clouds and water, which is unique. More than 10,000 troops were scattered but not chaotic, which made Zhao Yu anxious. Defend everywhere and make up for leaks everywhere, but I didn't expect the hole to be bigger and bigger. Geng Biao said with a smile: "The casualties of our army are also very small and negligible. β
"Zhao Yu's troops are not strong in the first place, the key is to see what will happen after Zhao Meng participates, that is the real test of Li Muran's command ability. Mu Tianxiang said.
"It is estimated that Zhao Meng will not come, according to Li Muran's analysis, Zhao Meng may leave here and settle near Shangguan City, but it is not very clear where it is. Hao Jun said.
"Isn't that exactly what we expected?" Mu Tianxiang said with a smile: "It seems that the news of Ma Tiefeng and others has spread, and the effect is obvious, after all, the temptation is big enough." β
Shangguan Ping is now dealing with this matter, and he is cooperating with Ma Tiefeng to gradually spread the news. Tang Buregret said: "The situation near Shangguan City is very chaotic now. β
"Also, Li Muran asked for instructions, because the situation has changed, so he wants to revise the original battle plan. Geng Biao said.
"Tell him that under the condition that the general policy remains unchanged and on the premise of ensuring the realization of the overall goal, he can make appropriate adjustments, and there is no need to ask for instructions on everything, after all, we are in the rear, the news is lagging behind, and the generals in the front must have the right to be exclusive and the ability to adapt to changes. "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, Mu Tianxiang still has this amount of belly.
"Okay, I'll give the order. Geng Biao said.
"Tang has no regrets, it seems that Li Muran's battle is going relatively smoothly, your logistics work must keep up, and we must find a way to develop the newly occupied places as soon as possible. Mu Tianxiang said.
"I was about to say that there are many wars and chaos around us now, and there are more displaced people, and yesterday a group of more than 3,000 displaced people came to the area under our control, and I don't know if they will accept it?" asked Tang Buregret.
"The world is in turmoil, where to live, the common people are always the most sinful, in the case of what you can, try to help as much as possible. Mu Tianxiang let out a long sigh. I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. That's the truth.
"I'm not afraid, as soon as the mouth opens, the surrounding homeless people will flock in, and with our strength, we can't accept it all, and it will not be good at that time. Don said without regret.
"The difficulties are temporary, the population in the future is still very critical, let the departments overcome it, I asked Zhao Yunfei to find a way to get some food from Duobao Zhai. Mu Tianxiang thought for a while and said, "But the resettlement of the displaced people must be planned. Must be in the designated area. β
"The human heart is a very important thing, although it looks troublesome now, but it may help us a lot in the future, so we should take a long-term view...... Mu Tianxiang said.
......
"Mr. Mu has given you power, and now you can let go of your hands and feet. Shangguan Invincible took the order and said enviously.
"Therefore, we must be cautious and not let down the trust and expectations of the pastor. Li Muran has always felt that he is not a direct descendant of Mu Tianxiang compared to Zhang Wei, Hao Jun and others, but Mr. Mu has always trusted him, and he is also inexplicably moved in his heart.
"Then what do we do next?" Shangguan Wushu asked.
"Now from the news delivered by Commander Ma, it can be determined that Zhao Meng has begun to prepare to run. There is no need for us to entangle with Zhao Yu here. Li Muran said: "Commander Shangguan, you led Li Pei's division to attack Weihu Mountain at full speed. β
"Weihu Mountain?"
"Yes, Weihu Mountain is actually a small city built on the mountain, and it is also the gateway to the plains of this mountainous area, where we must occupy and defend. That is the way to ensure the security of the territory we occupy. β
"However, although Weihu Mountain is a small city, it has nearly 50,000 people to defend it, and there is a strong city, and our 10,000 people are not sure to take it?" Shangguan Invincible felt incredible.
"Now it is estimated that there are no more than 50,000 people, and according to the latest intelligence, there are at most 20,000 people in the city," Li said. "Zhao Meng has already taken 30,000 people with him in advance, and it seems that he has given up Weihu Mountain. β
"Weihu Mountain has a complete defense talisman and fortifications, and it is absolutely impossible for our 10,000 people to easily take Weihu Mountain without paying a heavy price. Before leaving, Mr. Mu repeatedly emphasized to us that we should avoid unnecessary casualties," Shangguan Wushu said.
"Moreover, since we have determined that Zhao Meng is going to give up Weihu Mountain. We can follow Zhao Meng's withdrawal and take Weihu Mountain without much effort. And why bother to storm and cause unnecessary casualties. There is no time limit for our fight. Zhao Meng added.
"Now the situation has changed, and a large number of displaced people have poured in from our defense area, and the general herdsman has agreed to accept them. Li Muran said.
"Wanderers?" Shangguan Wushu asked.
"Yes, these displaced people are important for our future conquest and production, but now they are a great burden." Li Muran said.
"Does this have anything to do with our attack on Weihu Mountain?"
"Food, we need a lot of food. Li Muran said: "Zhao Meng's early troops traveled lightly and simply for the sake of marching speed, and did not carry a large number of materials. People can go, but supplies must stay. β
Shangguan Invincible understood, it turned out that Li Muran, who had always been unimpatient. The sudden decision to besiege Weihu Mountain was because he took a fancy to Zhao Meng's military rations, and seizing this batch of military rations could greatly alleviate the food crisis of the entire group and lay a solid foundation for future development.
"Okay, I'll send troops immediately and strive to take Weihu Mountain quickly," Shangguan Invincible, who understood it, also knew the priority of the matter.
"There is no need to storm strongly, you just need to surround the three and leave a way for the enemy to retreat, so as to avoid the enemy army who has lost the way to retreat and us from stumbling to the death, as long as the retreating enemy does not take supplies, do not need to pay attention. Li Muran said.
"If we launch a strong attack and fail to break through the city quickly, the enemy may jump over the wall and burn the supplies, which will be a annihilation of the enemy army for us, and it will be meaningless. Li Muran explained.
"Then if the enemy doesn't retreat, won't he still have to attack in the end?" Shangguan Wushu didn't understand.
"I don't know, but Mr. Mu said that he has a secret weapon and can easily break the city. Li Muran said with a smile.
"What secret weapon?"
"It is estimated that Tang does not regret what they studied, I don't know what it is, and it can be transported to Weihu Mountain in about three days. Li Muran was also full of expectations for the mysterious weapon.
Although Shangguan Invincible was very curious, he also knew that time was tight, so he immediately led the army to leave.
"Ma Tam, is there a problem with defeating Zhao Yu's army in two days?" asked Li Muran.
"Now, Zhao Yu has been overwhelmed by us, the defensive forces have also been torn apart by us and mobilized, and the defense line is full of holes, if it weren't for the whole campaign, I would have taken it long ago. Ma Tam said with a smile.
"In order to reduce casualties, there is no need to storm strongly. Li Muran said: "Let the soldiers below shout to the enemy, and say that Zhao Meng has abandoned them and gone to Shangguan City to dig up treasures." I think Zhao Yu hasn't seen Zhao Meng's reinforcements for a long time, and now I understand it. β
"Then the enemy army will be in great confusion and surrender without a fight. Ma Tam also smiled.
"If there are prisoners, those who have been in the military for no more than three years can stay, and the veterans don't want any oil, and they are all released. Li Muran admonished.
"Understood," the horse ordered to go down and begin to arrange.
"Battalion commander, what did the regiment commander say?" Zhang Jun looked at Zhang Fenghao with expectant eyes.
"It's time to attack, disperse and crush the enemy forces in front of you, and rush to Weihu Mountain. Zhang Fenghao said.
"Okay, let's finally let go of the fight. I'll get ready right away. Zhang Jun said excitedly.
"Wait a minute. Zhang Fenghao hurriedly stopped Zhang Jun: "First shout to the enemy, tell them that Zhao Meng has run away, give them two hours to consider, either surrender or evacuate......"
"So troublesome, I can defeat them in an hour. Zhang Jun complained.
"You know what? It's tactics, tactics, you know. If you are stunned, you will know that Chong Chong ......" Zhang Fenghao looked at his favorite general and patiently explained.
"Knowing that, I immediately arranged for someone to carry it out. Seeing that the battalion commander began to nag again, Zhang Jun hurriedly flashed.
"What are they shouting?" asked An Yiwen, the general of the defending army.
"General Hui, as if to say that General Zhao Meng has run away, persuade us to surrender. The man below said.
"Nonsense. There has not really been a battle yet, how can General Zhao Meng run, this is the enemy's trick, he wants to mess with the hearts of our army and win without a fight. An Yiwen said.
"Yes, we know, but it's been four or five days, why haven't we seen General Zhao Meng's reinforcements to support us. The young general asked in a low voice.
"These are not issues that you should consider, the general naturally has arrangements. An Yiwen snorted coldly and said: "And the enemy army on the opposite side is only more than 300 people, we have the city wall and nearly 2,000 people, if you want to defeat us, I think it is wishful thinking." β
After a few days of fighting, An Yiwen also figured out the enemy army in front of him, the number was not large, maybe three or four hundred. I still have confidence in my defense.
On the first day, a team of about 100 people almost broke through their city defenses, although they finally repelled the enemy army, but they lost nearly 100 people on their side, and the enemy's losses were less than a dozen people.
An Yiwen ordered that it was strictly forbidden to send troops and to wait for help. Fortunately, in the past few days, the enemy army has only harassed and has not attacked again. Today's stance looks like it's going to be on the offensive. An Yiwen estimated that things may have changed.
When the reinforcements will come, An Yiwen has no bottom in his heart, as a general, he has heard of the dirty affairs between Zhao Meng and Zhao Yu. Zhao Meng abandoned Zhao Yu and ran away alone, An Yiwen actually felt that it was possible. But he didn't receive an order, and he didn't dare to give up the defense easily. After all, the military order is like a mountain.
"Battalion commander, when the time comes, the enemy has not come out to surrender or evacuate, I think we will fight, right?" Zhang Jun said.
"Phew!" Zhang Fenghao spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and scolded: "Shameless thing, I still want to resist." Bring up my bed crossbow and let them see it. β
Although the battle was small, it was the first battle of Mu Tianxiang's army, and it was of great significance.
