Chapter 238: Defeat Sima Yulong
"Got it!" The soldier's voice resounded through the sky again. Seeing this, Gao Chun nodded with satisfaction. After all, he was already very satisfied with the scene in front of him, and his morale was better than he expected. In the afternoon, the mighty new army marched out of the steppe.
At the same time, the 500,000 troops had also come to the plain two miles outside the imperial capital of the Great Liang Dynasty and were stationed, and the reason why they chose to be two meters away was the idea of the new vanguard general, Sima Yunlong. This person believes that the distance of two miles is very convenient from both the attack and the defensive side, and it is convenient to advance and retreat. Moreover, two miles away, the enemy's city wall just had a full view of the grandeur of his 500,000-strong army, and he used his momentum to demoralize the enemy.
Sure enough, after Zhang Wushu climbed the city wall, he could see a black line in the distance, which was very long and seemed to have no end in sight. Zhang Wushu knew that this was the pressure of the army. Immediately, Zhang Wuxian called Wang Ba, and after Wang Ba saw it, he said: "Good girl, the army of 500,000 is really powerful. However, Your Majesty, your face is also quite large, and you can let this 500,000 army deal with less than 20,000 of us. ”
Zhang Wuxian snorted coldly and said, "No, it's impossible for us to have less than 20,000 people." This afternoon, the general and Mr. Zhuge should return with the new army. ”
Wang Ba nodded, paused and said, "You go, send multiple scouts to investigate the military situation, and see who this new vanguard leader is." Judging from the distance alone, this person must be unusual. At the same time, you send people to bring out the hundreds of masters and guard the inside of the city gates. An army of 500,000 could attack the city at any time. ”
At the same time, on the plain, among the shogunate of the middle army of the army, six generals were discussing how to attack the main beam. Among them is Lou Lan. After Sima Yulong sat on the position of the vanguard general, Lou Lan was naturally squeezed down and became a partial general, which was the lowest military rank among the six people.
Originally, because Sima Yulong took Lou Lan's position, Lou Lan held a grudge, not to mention that there was a disagreement on the siege arrangement this time, but seeing that Lou Lan stood up angrily directly, standing or sitting, he frowned and said: "General, if it is really as you say, if we fight separately, we will definitely lose!" ”
"Why?" Sima Yulong did not rush to overturn Zhang Wuxian's statement, but asked lightly.
Sima Yulong paused and said: "Not to mention anything else, I led an army of 250,000 to attack the soldiers of the New Dynasty before, but the reason is that the soldiers of the New Dynasty are brave and good at fighting, and there are still hundreds of ordinary people with strong martial arts in the Liang Capital. Therefore, in this case, we need to use the advantage in numbers to directly attack the city in one fell swoop and take Liangdu. ”
Sima Yulong shook his head: "Although this method can win, it is not the method that should be adopted. The so-called winning or losing does not mean that you live or die, but depends on the degree of loss, time spent and many other factors. If our opponent has only 20,000 men, but we have destroyed 20,000 with 500,000 troops, we will all be killed. In the end, there are only a few people left in our army, and it is won? ”
Sima Yulong asked himself and replied: "No, no, then our military will be defeated." General Lou spent nearly sixty or seventy thousand people, did he inflict damage on the enemy army? When he said this, Sima Yulong stared at Lou Lan's eyes fiercely, and his eyes didn't blink.
Lou Lan was choked up and speechless for a while, swallowed her saliva and said, "This matter is really my mistake." Listening to the general's words, is he in favor of fighting separately? If we can't attack in general, then we can defeat it separately? Weird, weird! It's like three people can't beat one person, but one of the three people can beat that person? General Ben is really unheard of. ”
Sima Yulong frowned slightly: "I just said that I would attack the city separately, when did I say that I was going to attack directly?" It is wisdom that fights wars, not the strength of reckless men. ”
Lou Lan snorted coldly: "The general doesn't know how to fight, but the general is not bad on paper, and the general admires and admires it." At this time, the four generals around him couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Sima Yulong at the same time: "General, how did you arrange it, but give everyone an explanation!" Otherwise, not only General Lou will be anxious, but even a few of us will be anxious. ”
Sima Yulong nodded: "This general is the vanguard chief general, and he is jointly canonized by the monarchs of the six countries, so don't commit trespassing." After a pause, Sima Yulong continued: "Regarding how to attack the imperial capital, General Ben is naturally clear in his heart. It seems that this is a map of the imperial capital. With that, Sima Yulong took a scroll from the side and spread it out on the table.
But seeing that there were countless small flags painted on this map, Sima Yulong pointed to these small flags and said, "Look, these small flags are the places where I will act tonight." ”
The six generals are Sima Yulong and Lou Lan. Jiang Kun, Qiu Yuxiang, Ouyang Yu, and Jiang Nan. Among them, this Sima Yulong is the leader of the six people, and the youngest is this Lou Lan. After all, Lou Lan had previously lost 60,000 troops of the New Dynasty, and now he was only demoted instead of taking off his head, which was already blessed by God, how could Lou Lan dare to have any other luxury.
After a pause, Sima Xiangru said: "The time for our action was set for the first time tonight, and the sky at night made it easier for us to act." Besides, even if the enemy army is on full alert at night, there will definitely be times when they get tired. When the time comes, it will definitely be very beneficial for us. ”
The other five generals nodded one after another, after all, Sima Yulong was the eldest of the six people, and he had just fired at the five people, and the five of them suddenly became docile. After a pause, Ouyang Yu said, "Dare to ask the general, what is the duty of the last general?" ”
Sima Yulong smiled faintly: "Don't worry, General Ben will explain them one by one later." Lou Lan, because you are a little reckless, I have to hand over the task of leading the troops to the assault to Jiang Kun. You are in charge of this location, which can be regarded as a commanding height outside the imperial capital of the Great Liang Dynasty, and occupy this place. Whether it is a military situation or a defensive issue, it should be clear at a glance. ”
Although Lou Lan was a little unhappy, she nodded after all: "It's okay, let me cover and assist, and this general will defend well, and the province will be blamed by someone again." After a pause, Sima Yulong then pointed to a small red flag in front of the gate of the Great Liang Imperial Capital and said, "Ouyang Yu, this is your task, to lead a thousand soldiers and open a new dynasty here." Remember, if necessary, even if you lose a few soldiers, you must convince the enemy that you are the main attacker. ”
"General, how many men should I bring?" Lou Lan frowned and asked.
Sima Yulong said lightly: "It's enough to have only 300 people, but it's just defense, what's the use of bringing a few more people and a few less?" "Of course, the number of people who defend is naturally useful, and Sima Yulong's purpose in saying this is just to choke Lou Lan. Moreover, this time in Sima Yulong's arrangement, there were a total of 20,000 soldiers who went to battle, and the remaining 480,000 people were still staying in place.
After a pause, Sima Yulong walked to Jiang Nan's side and said, "Jiang Nan, look at these red lines." ”
Jiang Nan nodded: "General, these red lines firmly surround the two sides and the back of the Great Liang Imperial Capital, leaving only one side of the city gate, which looks like a semi-encircled structure." ”
Sima Yulong nodded with satisfaction, probably with some relief that there were some children to teach, and he paused and said: "What General Ben wants you to do is to learn from him Zhang Wuxian, and use a crossbowman to firmly surround these three sides, and it needs two layers." In addition, the crossbow arrows held by the crossbowman were coated with oil, and when the bolts were pulled, the soldiers behind them were responsible for igniting the fire. ”
Jiang Nan nodded: "The general's meaning, the last general already knows it in his heart, that is, let the last general mess up his imperial capital, it doesn't matter how much damage it causes, as long as his people and army are in turmoil, then we will save the situation first." Tsk, Your Majesty's clever plan will be admired at the end! ”
Sima Yulong smiled slightly, and then said: "That's true, Jiangnan is so wise!" Immediately, Sima Yulong pointed to the largest chess piece in the map and said: "Qiu Xiangyu, this place is where our army is stationed, and it is also the place where the shogunate of our Chinese army is located. ’”
Qiu Xiangyu frowned, obviously not understanding what Sima Yulong meant, and looked at Sima Yulong with a confused expression. Seeing this, Sima Yulong smiled slightly, paused and continued: "General Qiu, think about it, if the soldiers, generals and even monarchs on the city wall of the new dynasty see only a thousand people under the city wall, they will definitely be suspicious. I will definitely look at the place where our army is stationed. And what General Ben wants you to do is to retreat with the remaining 480,000 troops at this time. ”
"What? Fall back! Qiu Xiangyu couldn't help but scream in surprise, and then suddenly realized that he was a little too excited. Even though he reined in, he still looked at Sima Yulong with a puzzled expression.
This time, Sima Yulong did not answer Qiu Xiangyu's question, but said lightly: "When the time comes, you just do it." General Ben said that this war is a ~ long-term war, and it is impossible to decide whether you win or lose all at once. Sometimes, trying to get away with it can achieve the desired effect. ”
Qiu Xiangyu nodded, and he didn't know if he understood what Sima Yulong said, but he didn't ask again. After a pause, Sima Yulong clapped his hands and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the general has made the arrangements for tonight's actions very clear. In the general's expectation, there should have been no casualties in this event. So General Ben knows what you mean by General Ben. ”
The first to answer Sima Yulong was Jiang Nan: "The last general knows that this time is mainly to disturb, except for the 1,000 people brought by General Jiang Kun, the rest of the people must not have any casualties. ”
Sima Yulong nodded: "Now that we all know our division of labor, let's go down and rest, I don't know when I will fight tonight." ”
