Chapter 318: Breakout
Under the lonely city, the people of Puyang are panicked. Inside the city, the council hall. Jin will open up and be pacing back and forth anxiously.
He was wearing armor and a cloak behind him, and he kept walking in the upper position, and the generals on both sides were silent.
Not long after, the Puyang County Guard wore an official uniform and hurriedly walked in. Seeing him, Zhou Kai stopped pacing, hurriedly greeted him, and asked loudly, "Lord Zhang, how is the situation?" ”
"Alas!" The Puyang County Guard sighed first, and then said: "General, it's not that the official doesn't cooperate, but the Puyang Mansion Treasury, there is really no grain, and the previous war has already been exhausted." ”
"Then we have to find a way!" Zhou Kai said: "Puyang is now an isolated city, our army's troop transportation has been cut off, grain and grass have been cut off, and all kinds of supplies have been cut off. ”
"I have already thought of a way, after knowing the general's difficulties, I have issued a decree from the county government, but after a few days, I can only levy 8,000 stones of grain and grass, which is still tending to be under forced requisition." Puyang County guards the road.
Eight thousand stones, about more than 800,000 catties, this number sounds very big, but you must know that this is a war, in ancient times, it took more than 100 catties of arm strength to open a bow, and the physical strength of the soldiers was serious, and the Jin army had 100,000, and these grains were not enough to eat for a few days!
"How can eight thousand stones be enough! Keep up the conscription! Zhou Kai also said directly.
"Yes...... But general, the war in Puyang has lasted for nearly a year, and the consumption of materials is serious, and the people in the city, where is there any surplus food, even if there is another forced conscription, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket. "Puyang County guards the road.
"Anyway! Rob, but also grab grain and grass! If you can't hold it, everyone will die! Zhou Kai spoke, and also pulled the Puyang County Guard to the sand table, pointed to the sand table and said, "Lord Zhang see it yourself!" Now the situation between the enemy and the enemy! Our army, is there any other way! On the sand table, the military deployment of the Qin and Jin armies is depicted in detail.
The small red flag representing the Jin army is planted at the head of Puyang City, but around it, in all directions, each city is planted with a small black flag.
The small black flags are covered with sand tables, and there is only one small red flag, and they are surrounded by many people, even those who don't know how to soldier can see it intuitively.
"This ...... This ......" After reading it, the Puyang county guard also swallowed his saliva, and then stammered: "Okay, okay, I'll think of a way here again......" After speaking, he looked embarrassed again: "But general, in my opinion, Puyang will run out of food sooner or later, if the King of Qin has been besieging and not attacking, our army will also be trapped alive." ”
"En......" Zhou Kai pondered for a while, and said: "You are right, General Ben has also thought about the breakthrough in the past few days, but the Qin army's defense line is difficult to break, and you can't act rashly, you have to formulate a strategy in advance." ”
"Then, can we concentrate superior forces and break through one place, we have enough 100,000 troops, and the Qin army, besieging the city on all sides, each place, at most 50,000, should not be able to stop the impact of our army." Puyang County Shou tentatively said.
"Nope." Zhou Kai directly vetoed: "If this is the case, our army is equivalent to pressing all hopes on one place, if the Qin army's defense line shrinks and is encircled, the army is in danger." ”
"This ......" Puyang County Shou didn't know what to say. Zhou Kai thought for a while, and said: "If you really want to break through, you can only feint in one place to attract the attention of the Qin army, and then break through to another place with the main force." "Feint to send death, attract enemy troops, and respond to the main force.
This deployment was clear, and after listening to it, the Puyang County Guard swallowed his saliva, and all the generals in the hall also subconsciously glanced at each other.
Zhou Kai looked around and asked aloud, "What do you think?" ”
"This ......" everyone moved the corners of their mouths, not knowing how to answer, because this strategy works, but who is responsible for feints.
People were silent, Zhou Kai saw this, and said in a loud voice: "This time the weak Qin attacked me and the strong Jin, the heart of the king of Qin, the tiger and the wolf, want to occupy my country's land!" You are all generals in the army, and you should understand the responsibilities of soldiers! As he spoke, he added: "Puyang is in the current situation, if our army can successfully break through and respond to Xuzhou, then the line will be alive!" Such a heavy responsibility to save the family and country from danger! Who can take it! Hearing these words, finally a general couldn't help it, and came out to clasp his fists and said, "I'll go!" This is a burly man, Zhou Kai heard this, and immediately looked over, and couldn't help but say: "General Tian, do you know the danger of this trip." ”
"The last will understand! As the general said, a soldier should know his duty! As a general of the Jin Army, if you can serve the country and Mingzhi, you will die without regrets! The horse leather shroud is also the glory of my generation! General Tian's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but be in awe when they heard the words.
Zhou Kai was even more upright, and immediately hugged his fist towards General Tian, and said: "General Gaoyi, dedicated to the country!" It is really a model for the generals of our army! ”
"The last general will not dare to be, just hope that after the feint, he can win the opportunity for the main force of our army, and the general should quickly break through the siege, join forces with the Xuzhou side, and defeat the Qin army as soon as possible!" General Tian said.
"Good, good!" Zhou Kai nodded, with a straight face, he began to draw out his battle sword, pointed to the sand table and deployed in detail: "After King Qin's army besieged the city, his focus should be on the east gate, because the east gate is the direction leading to Xuzhou, and in terms of common sense, it is also the place where our army needs to break through. ”
"And at the south gate, the Qin army should have relatively few troops, because below it, most of the cities occupied by the Qin army are occupied by the Qin army, and the king of Qin must be in a relatively lax state here."
"Therefore, General Tian can lead an army of 30,000 troops, go out of the city in the middle of the night, and break through from the direction of the east gate."
"Using the night as a cover to make a posture of the main force breaking through, the Qin army does not know the strength of our army, and only thinks that the main force is coming, and will inevitably pay attention to this side."
"After General Tian successfully attracted the attention of King Qin, the main force of our army took advantage of the situation to go out from the south gate, break through to Changning, and then rush to Xuzhou from the northeast."
"If this strategy is successful, although Puyang is lost, but the main force of our army successfully breaks through, at that time, we can cooperate with General Du Yu in Xuzhou, deal an absolute blow to the Qin army, and then live!" After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
General Tian said: "Just deploy according to the general, and the last general will go down to select men and horses!" ”
"Good! Tomorrow, a feint will attack the east gate, and the main force will be killed from the south gate! ”
"Hurry up and prepare!"
"No!" The generals clasped their fists in unison. On Zhou Kai's side, due to the lack of materials and the lack of grain and grass in Puyang after a year of war, he decided to take the initiative to break through.
As soon as he gave the order, the Jin army immediately moved. Late the next night, after the pre-war mobilization, General Tian did not say a word, but directly asked people to open the east gate and led the army to rush out.
