Chapter 39: Offense is the best defense

readx;

Hearing Song Liangxiu's words, all the generals were a little silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They are not arrogant people like General Zhao, even if they despise in their attitude, they are cautious in their hearts.

What's more, the other party has obviously been prepared for their arrival, and they are tired of traveling, and they don't know much about the situation in Tianfu, at this time, it is definitely not a good time to attack Yingtian, plus the current weather, whether it is the right time, place or people, it is not suitable.

"What the marshal said is that the attack on Yingtian still needs to be considered in the long run." General Cheng said.

The others nodded their heads as well.

Only General Zhao was still unconvinced, but he didn't say anything.

As he was talking, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally fell, and Song Liangxiu and all the generals hurriedly hid in the cabin to avoid the rain and arrange the battle situation, discussing the siege strategy, of course, they did not forget to send scouts to continue to explore the enemy's movements.

On the other side, Qin Shu was also standing on the deck of a battleship, surrounded by the generals of the Red Lotus Army, as well as Chen Xiuyuan, Cheng Yingcai and others. This is their territory, well-informed, and they know the enemy's movements very well, and they have long been lined up and waiting for each other.

Their main tactic is to attack with fire, using artillery to attack and burn the opponent's warships, so that it is difficult for the opponent to get close.

Of course, it is not only the fire attack, the longbow, the big crossbow, etc. are also indispensable, which is enough to give the enemy a dismount.

But what they didn't expect was that the sky was not beautiful, and suddenly the wind and rain started, and the other party's ship was also anchored more than ten miles away, and they didn't dare to act rashly, and they must not rush over recklessly, which is really a pity.

Even so, they couldn't relax, and no one knew if they were in a suspicious formation, taking advantage of their slackness.

It wasn't until the rain was heavy and the fog was cloudy, blocking the line of sight, that Chen Xiuyuan said to Qin Shu: "Leader Qin, the other party shouldn't attack directly for the time being, but there is no need to be so strict, it will take at least two or three days for them to find out our situation." ”

Qin Shu narrowed his eyes, looked at the unclear distance, and said, "If they don't attack, can't we strike first and take the initiative to fight back?" There is a saying that offense is the best defense, and even in the Art of War, it is said that 'the invincible, defend; The victor is also attacked. ’”

If they are blindly defensive, then they must make arrangements for the enemy's various offensive strategies, which is too passive and too aggrieved. After all, their forces are no worse than the other side, and there is no need to use that kind of passive combat at all.

In that case, it is better for them to take the initiative.

Chen Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he saw Qin Shu's warlike eyes, and then smiled slightly: "What Leader Qin said is extremely true, but in this kind of weather, the effect of the fire attack is greatly reduced, and it may not be able to achieve the effect we want." ”

Qin Shu also knew this truth, but she was a little unwilling. Originally, she planned to take the initiative to attack, but Chen Xiuyuan and the others wanted to be more secure, Qin Shu felt that their deployment was also very rigorous and thorough, and they were not too insistent, after all, her proposal was indeed a bit risky.

However, the plan is not as fast as the change, seeing that Chen Xiuyuan has the intention of waiting to see the changes, Qin Shu moved his mind again, and this is why he said this.

Qin Shu sighed with some disappointment in her heart, and still said with some reluctance: "Won't we get it when the rain stops, do we have to be passive after the other party finds out our details?" ”

Chen Xiuyuan looked up at the rain curtain in the air and said, "Leader Qin, I'm afraid this rain can't stop today, and we can't keep guarding it all the time, it's better to go back to the city to rest first, this matter can be discussed later." The other party is the Song family, and it must not be ignored. ”

Apparently tactfully rejected her offer.

Qin Shu was not angry either, after all, both sides were in order to be able to repel the enemy and defend Yingtian. Moreover, her proposal is indeed a bit presumptuous.

Their navy is not as strong as the other party, this is a strong wind and torrential rain, and if one is not careful, the boat will capsize.

Chen Xiuyuan was indeed more calm than her.

Qin Shu had no choice but to press it down and nodded in response.

After leaving the garrison soldiers and troops, they sent people to closely monitor the movements of the enemy, and Qin Shu and other soldiers braved the rain to return to the city.

I went back to the barracks first, held a military meeting, Qin Shu proposed again, after the rain stopped, take the initiative to attack, however, most of the soldiers really didn't agree with Qin Shu's proposal, thinking that it was really not appropriate to take the initiative to attack before figuring out the strength and deployment of the other party, and some generals thought that even if they blindly defended the city, they would not fail, and there was no need to do more, Qin Shu was also quite helpless about this.

After all, she can be the master of the Red Lotus Army, but she can't be the master of the entire Qin family's army, and her current military talent is not enough to be trusted.

Fortunately, she was not without supporters, and at least a third of her generals and advisers agreed with her.

As Chen Xiuyuan said, until the evening, the rain did not stop, in the Generalissimo's Mansion, Xiao Ruxuan was very relieved to have Qin Shu in charge, and You'an was not at home, so she didn't go back, and after dinner, she lived directly in the camp.

She didn't get a good night's rest.

In fact, it's not just her, this night, there are many people who haven't rested well, and He Yunting is also one of them.

It's just that she can't sleep because of worry or fear like others, but because she is excited.

The Qin family gathered 200,000 troops outside the city, and the atmosphere in the city was tense, revealing a sense of tension that was about to erupt, the He family had been paying attention to the movements outside, or rather, the people of the whole city were paying attention, and the He family quickly understood that the Song family's army should be in the city.

Unfortunately, they can't get out of the city, and they don't allow people to wander around the streets or even snoop around, so they don't know the specifics.

He Yunting eagerly looked forward to Song Jiajun coming in quickly, she was extremely confident in Song Jiajun, in her eyes, Qin Jiajun was vulnerable. Therefore, when she saw that it was raining, she couldn't help but scold God in her heart for not being long-sighted, and it was raining at this time, which ruined Song Liangxiu's big thing.

But there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, who knew that when it was night, there was not even a single movement, and the whole city was very calm.

Although there was some disappointment, it did not hinder her good mood.

When her parents sent her to invite her over for dinner, she even hummed a song.

In the past few days, Father and Mother He have been very good to her, with an earnest attitude, and a little undetectable flattery, He Yunting noticed it, but she didn't care much about it, and even sneered at it.

Even if they treat her well now, she has no feelings for them for a long time, it's just that there is still a place to use them, and she doesn't want to tear her face with them.

After the meal, Mr. and Mrs. Ho left her to speak.

"Ting'er, according to my guess, Marshal Song should have arrived in Yingtian, when do you think it's better for you to see him?" Father He coughed lightly and asked lovingly.

He Yunting raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I can do it at any time, just see if my father and mother have the ability to send me out." It's better to hurry, if it's late, I won't be useful, how can Marshal Song look at us differently? ”

There was a trace of worry and joy in Mrs. He's eyes, and she asked, "Are you so sure that Marshal Song will look at our family differently?" ”

"Of course! As long as I am here, Marshal Song will definitely not embarrass our family. He Yunting said confidently: "However, it is still the same sentence, if you want to be valued by Marshal Song, you have to pay a lot of sincerity." Did you get any useful news? ”

The He couple glanced at each other, and the head of the He family coughed lightly and said, "I did hear some news, but I don't know how useful it can be. ”

"Daddy, do you really have to inquire?" He Yunting's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that the cheap father and mother would really be able to hear some of the news, and said with some surprise: "Tell me quickly!" If it is useful, I will go to see Marshal Song tomorrow, otherwise it will be too late. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, be careful that the wall has ears." The head of the He family comforted her first, and when he saw He Yunting quieting down, he said with a little weakness: "Actually, what I heard is not too secret, I just know how many troops we have......"

"What about strategic deployment?" He Yunting frowned and asked again.

The head of the He family sighed slightly and shook his head: "How can I inquire about this?" However, I heard that soldiers transported all kinds of artillery and gunpowder, and Cheng Guogong always paid attention to firearms, and he must have used fire to attack. ”

The corners of He Yunting's mouth curled slightly, her eyes were bright, and she muttered, "Enough, enough." This is enough for Song Liangxiu to see a lot of problems, and the most important thing is that she can use this excuse to return to Song Liangxiu justifiably, and she can also express her sincerity and position, which is the most important thing.

What if you don't get a strategic deployment? Song Sangongzi can also win them.

She believes that as long as she goes back, she will definitely be more valued by Song Liangxiu than before.

When General Song broke through Yingtianfu, her "fellow" became a prisoner, and she must see her again.

At that time, their identities will be completely reversed.

She wanted her to feel the suffering and grievances she had suffered.

Thinking of the "fellow's" attitude in front of her, she felt angry in her heart.

Now look at how she shows off her might!

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to see Song Liangxiu even more.

She raised her head and looked at the head of the He family and said, "Dad, tell me everything you know, and send me out of the city tomorrow no matter what!" ”

"Of course there is no problem with telling you, but now that the city has been closed, it is a little difficult to get out of the city." The head of the He family said in embarrassment.

Except for the soldiers, no one else was allowed to enter or leave.

"Dad, you have to find a way! How can I meet Marshal Song without going out of the city? Didn't you ask me when I was going to go out of town? He Yunting said with some dissatisfaction.
