Chapter 229: Lonely Doesn't Let Him Get His Wish
The movement of the Chu army soon reached the ears of Wang Buxing.
At this time, the king was not hungry, and was sitting in Xiangyi waiting for the news of the baby's attack on Suiyang.
"A large number of troops from Xue County are heading south? Langya County, Donghai County's troops marched west? Northbound in Jiujiang County, Surabaya County? Wang Bu was hungry and couldn't help frowning as he looked at the movements of the Chu army marked on the map.
What is Chu Jun going to do?
Plan to completely disarm and defend Pengcheng?
It doesn't make sense.
With the surrounding area gone, there is only one Pengcheng left, how long can they hold on?
How long will there be enough food to eat?
At this time, shouldn't we attack from all sides, disperse the Han army as much as possible, and then use other methods to wear off the Han army's strength little by little?
"Yes, all counties are mobilizing, and many places have conscripted conscripts to transport supplies, and the destination is indeed Pengcheng, but because there are too many people to recruit, the scouts can't figure out how many people they have mobilized for a while." Peng Yue said.
It's not that there are no statistics, but that the results are not accurate at all.
Adding up all the numbers of troops mobilized in a county resulted in some counties moving more troops than they knew they were garrisoning.
It's not impossible for this to happen, but it's happening in four or five counties, and the probability is too small.
Moreover, behind the intelligence, another one has been added.
Most of the recruits were elites, and the newly recruited ones stayed behind in the big battalions in various places to take over the defense.
This situation is also normal, when there is a large-scale troop movement, it is difficult to judge a precise number of people with the naked eye.
At this time, I can only roughly calculate, that is, I can see how many people will report it at a glance.
The error up and down is very large, and even if seven or eight people stand scattered, it can be mistaken for 10,000 people.
"Where's Suiyang?" Wang asked as he stared at the map tightly.
"There is no news from Suiyang, they have closed the city, and the news can't get in or out. However, judging from the last information that came out, the Suiyang defenders should be ready to defend to the death. Peng Yue said.
"Hmm!" Wang Buxing nodded slightly, and continued to frown and think.
Suiyang's public opinion offensive was not successful, because there were also ruthless people in the Chu army.
First the city was closed, and then other public opinion was used to resist, so that those who were emotional were struggling, and then dealt with it quickly, so as to ensure people's hearts.
It was only after perceiving that the public opinion offensive could not play a decisive role that the baby irrigation began to prepare for the attack.
The current Han army is no longer the Han army of a year ago, and the accompanying craftsmen rushed to the front line as soon as they received the order, and with the help of the soldiers, they collected enough wood in one day.
Then, using the assembly line mode, enough siege equipment was built in three days.
And the time for the siege plan formulated by the baby is tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army should be preparing for a decisive battle!" Xiao He reminded.
Decisive battle?
Wang Bu was not hungry and looked at the map again, and the Chu troops in all directions were flocking to Pengcheng.
In the past, it was the practice that the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, but this time the Chu army did not take care of it.
After the troops were assembled, they set off in a hurry with only enough food and grass needed for the road, and their own grain and grass were slowly transported behind.
That is to say, they are in a hurry to assemble, probably because they are worried that after the baby is broken, they will quickly kill Pengcheng.
Therefore, they had to assemble all the troops and deploy them in place before the baby arrived in Pengcheng.
In order to prevent the Han army from launching a surprise attack while the Chu army was gathering this chaotic stall.
As for grain and grass, there is no need to worry about this, there is a lot of grain and grass near Pengcheng.
And the intelligence also confirmed this, Peng Cheng was vigorously collecting grain and grass in the surrounding area, apparently preparing for the assembly of the army.
"It's kind of interesting!" Wang Bu was hungry and suddenly laughed.
The last thing the Han army was afraid of was a decisive battle, on the contrary, what they hoped for the most was a decisive battle.
In terms of hard power, Wang Buxing has not been afraid of anyone in the past year, and in terms of generals, Wang Buxing now also has inflated capital.
The Chu army hoped for a decisive battle, but it did as it wished.
Only by fighting a decisive battle as soon as possible can we end this war at the lowest cost.
As for saying that more people will die in the decisive battle, that is inevitable and essential.
If everything is about the immortal, and there are few dead people, then don't think about unification.
This point is very clear that Wang Bu is not hungry, so what Wang Bu is hungry about is that he does not want to die in a place where he should not die, rather than thinking about whether he should die when he needs to fight.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Wang was not hungry and actually smiled, Xiao He couldn't help but be shocked.
Don't dare to be careless at this time.
The Han State and the Han army did have the strength to crush the Chu State, although many of them were potential.
Although Xiao He was still a Chu minister not long ago, now, he did not want the Han Kingdom to fail.
He didn't want to be inactive, so he couldn't keep Liu Ji.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army should be aware that it is invincible to our army, so it wants to turn the passive into the active, gather elite troops in Pengcheng, and deal with the main force of General Guan with absolute superiority. The king must not be careless, he should mobilize troops from within the country to support General Guan, or make the other two roads accelerate closer to Pengcheng, and must narrow the difference between the enemy and our forces in a short time, so that the decisive victory can be achieved! Xiao He hurriedly said.
Listening to Xiao He's suggestion, Wang Bu was a little surprised, but everything was reasonable.
smiled slightly, and responded: "Xiao Xiang is too worried, the decisive battle is not a trivial matter, how can Lone be careless?" ”
"Then you were ??? king" Xiao He was stunned, why were you so happy before? What about amusing the old man?
"That's really happy, the decisive battle as soon as possible is conducive to the early unification of the Han Dynasty, and it can also narrow the scope of the war around Pengcheng, so as not to affect the people in other places." Wang Bu said without hunger.
"......" Xiao He was speechless, can he get to the point?
"Fighting! Actually, that's all there is to ......," Wang Buyu continued to smile and said.
"...... "Xiao why can't he kill the king headlong, he is not hungry, and he can die if he doesn't pretend to be forced?"
It's just like that, your mouth, the ancestors are afraid that they will jump out of the coffin to settle accounts with you.
Wang Buxing saw Xiao He's expression of wanting to refute, but he didn't care about it, and said to himself: "It's nothing more than that both sides are trying their best to drag the war into a situation that is beneficial to their own side, and the easiest thing to do is strategic arrangement, battlefield arrangement, etc., as the so-called time, place, and people, those who have all three, and those who do not win are mediocre." ”
"Didn't the Chu army want to put the decisive battle field in Pengcheng? Gathering heavy troops to defend, and it is the capital of Chu State, the hearts of the army and the people are there, and he went to attack alone, and naturally met the soldiers and people of Chu who were strong-willed to resist, but Lone was not as good as he wanted......"
Speaking of this, Wang Buxing smiled slightly, and ordered Zhang Buyi: "Order the baby to be irrigated and stop attacking......"
