Chapter 408: Recovery
"Who says there's no rest?" Zhuo Yijia turned his head, looked at Vice General Zhang with a wrinkled face, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The general was sleeping last time when I talked about the battle plan?" Tonight is Jiang Duwei's 100,000 army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The 300,000 troops led by Captain Jiang have been resting in Zhenjiang all the time and have not moved. Where does it come from exhaustion? ”
"I know this, tonight is the soldiers led by Captain Jiangdu, but tomorrow we will have 70,000 soldiers." Vice General Zhang is still a little worried. In the past half a month, these generals have been very tired from attacking day and night.
"So let them rest well tonight." Zhuo Yijia withdrew his hand, turned his head to beat the horse, and walked back: "I know what the general is worried about, but you must know that we are now breaking two cities in a row, which is the time when morale is the highest, and it is the best policy to take advantage of the situation to fight." The soldiers are fast, and that's what they're talking about. Moreover, we are tired, and the Western Qi army is even more tired than us. It dragged on for more than three months, although it was not said that they ran out of ammunition and food, but the long-day battle in a foreign country also made them physically and mentally exhausted. What has always supported them is just the belief that they want to annex Nanshang. Now that they have been defeated and retreated, their belief is not so firm. At this time, let Jiang Duwei's 100,000 troops harass. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. The dawn is the time when they are exhausted, waiting for the opportunity to move. The 100,000 army led by Captain Jiang was already ready to move, and our 70,000 well-fed soldiers. Don't beat them up yet? ”
Saying that, Zhuo Yijia turned his head and glanced at Deputy General Zhang, and after the last dirty word came out, everyone smiled heartily.
"yes, beat them up!" Vice General Zhang pointed the sword in his hand to the sky and said loudly: "That's it!" The western barbarians of the dog/day occupied our city, and even went to the nearby villages to burn and plunder, slaughter our children, rape/our women, and the dogs can't be let go! ”
The soldiers who followed him all answered angrily.
Zhuo Yijia heard the anger in his eyes flash, and the breath on his body instantly became cold and solemn. The soldiers who were shouting next to them instantly felt the murderous aura of this commander, looked at the cold back, and remembered the appearance of this person killing God when he met God, and killed Buddha when he met Buddha, and his heart trembled. The voice was much quieter.
Zhuo Yijia didn't doubt that there was anything wrong, but he just looked at the road ahead. There was also a sinister anger in his eyes.
Ever since Seo Dao was lost, everything had gone according to her plan. There is one thing she didn't expect, that is, the Xiqi army was brutal and unmanned, and they blatantly took their soldiers to the nearby mountains or villages not far away, burned, killed and looted, and looted the food in the village, not to mention that everyone except the women was slaughtered, and the women, whether they were village women or boudoir daughters, were not spared by them***!
When he received the news, Zhuo Yijia personally led his troops there, and when he arrived, he saw the burned village, and no one survived after the massacre. Men, young and old, were driven to a place and slaughtered. Women, young and old, were tied to chairs or pillars, naked, except for their thighs that were pulled open by the ropes, and their lower bodies were covered in blood. The cloak was scattered, and the blood stains on his face were mixed with horror and hatred, and it was terrible. Even the drooping child never let go.
When I saw Zhuo Yijia at that time, I felt that my blood was going to be cold. Anger nearly swept her away.
There is more than one such village.
She didn't know how she had returned to her camp that night, and the pain was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
They are all the people of NCB!
Until now, Zhuo Yijia's anger in his whole body could not be suppressed. She sat on the horse, pinched it tightly, felt the silence behind her without saying a word, sneered, and her voice was like a cold day: "Naturally, you can't let it go." How Xiqi slaughtered my Nanshang, I will slaughter him in the future. ”
There was silence behind him, and no one answered.
After a while, Staff Officer Chen, the deputy general who was close to him, said softly: "Are we going to kill Xiqi?" ”
"Naturally, why don't we take back the Northland and beat them away?" Zhuo Yijia turned his head to look at Vice General Chen and raised his eyebrows.
The crowd stared with bated breath. They all hung their heads, didn't they?
Zhuo Yijia turned his head and said in a cold voice: "It is precisely because Nanshang has always been passive, the enemy comes to block me, and the enemy will send it when he leaves, so it is annoying to go back and forth, and it will become more and more humiliating." This time, Xiqi is not a small fight, and the power of the country is to embezzle Nanshang. This battle is not something they can fight if they want to, and they will leave if they can't fight. Since you want to fight, it will either be me or you will die, and you must not retreat. ”
Nanshang has always respected Confucianism and governed the country with benevolence. This benevolence and righteousness were also engraved into the soldiers of the frontier. But it also made the frontiers of the northwest and northwest countries harassed by barbarians or Western Qi, Jiangjin and other countries for many years. Every time they repulsed, they ran. After running away, I felt that the person was gone anyway, so I didn't pursue it anymore.
Therefore, even if the enemy army outside the northwest knew that the national strength of Nanshang was prosperous and the army was purged and mighty, few of them were afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
I have always held the attitude of fighting if I want to fight, and retreating if I don't fight.
"But after this war, our army is consumed, and if it is driven across this big Gobi and directly into Western Qi, it will be another big attrition. After the war, it should have been mainly to raise soldiers, and doing so was afraid that it would hurt the national strength. Vice General Chen rode his horse and walked on the other side of Zhuo Yijia, with a look of worry between his mouths.
He now understands the nature of this streamer general. He is brave and strategic, and he is extremely proficient in marching and arranging, and he is decisive in killing. Leading troops to fight is also a rare general.
is too angry, if you offend her, the execution will be merciless. It's stubborn, it's hard to persuade.
"I know General Chen's concerns." Zhuo Yijia walked in front, opened his mouth without looking back, and said quietly: "Of course, soldiers must be raised, but this is not the time to raise soldiers. Now we are in northern Liaoning, and we have encountered a large-scale attack by the powerful Western Qi. It is the best policy to take advantage of this opportunity to make Xiqi seriously injured, and not dare to disturb our border in the past hundred years. ”
Zhuo Yijia said, paused, and looked up at the blue and white sky: "It's April now, and the weather in April is warm and windy, and no matter how slow the winter in the north is, it will only take a month." If they don't defeat Western Qi quickly at this time, it will not be so easy for them to recover as soon as the spring in the north comes. ”
The soldiers who followed behind them all nodded when they heard Zhuo Yijia's meticulous and patient analysis. There was still a dull solemnity on his face.
The group spoke, and after a while, they returned to Xu Daocheng.
Xu Dao City is full of soldiers, orderly. The people of the city have long been placed elsewhere. Now that Zhuo Yijia has returned, the city gate is wide open, and it will be closed again after the journey.
