Chapter Ninety-Seven: Timing
Xu Hai on the horse looked back in annoyance and looked at Chongde County in the distance, although he had long known that it was very difficult to attack the city, but Yu Dayou was said to be injured, only Lu Bin with three or four hundred soldiers, Xu Hai felt that the possibility of breaking the city was not small.
From the point of view of command ability, there is no doubt that Xu Hai is higher than Lu Bin, and the simple dispersion of troops to find opportunities to move put Lu Bin in a predicament, as evidenced by the fact that the Japanese once gained a firm foothold in the city today.
But what Xu Hai didn't expect was that Chongde County organized almost all the men in the city, and the villagers either helped in the battle, or explored, or transported supplies, so that the total number of defenders was not less than 800 people.
Chongde County is a small city, and even if Xu Hai throws the 3,000 Japanese robbers gathered by his subordinates into the battlefield together, the contact area is so narrow, and the advantage of troops cannot be brought into play.
Urging the horse back to the village, Xu Hai strode into the house, threw down his helmet and snorted unpleasantly, "Sir, that letter is useful?" ”
Mr. Fang smiled bitterly: "It's useless to estimate, but at least give the general a step down...... If you continue to attack the city, I'm afraid that Ye Ma's side is a little unstable. ”
As he was talking, Ye Ma had already entered the house, and shouted loudly: "If you attack again, the brothers below are going to rebel, Ming'er will change places." ”
After half a ring, Xu Haicai nodded with a gloomy face, but then a hint of cunning flashed in the corner of his eyes, maybe there was still a chance.
……
In Chongde County.
The letter was placed on the table, and everyone read it, and everyone had a very strange look on their faces.
The leader of the Japanese invaders outside put forward a condition, it was okay to withdraw the army, but it was necessary to hand over Shen Chong, the priest of Chongde County.
"Do they have a grudge?" Lu Bin made the most likely judgment.
"It's a feud." Li Liangqin smacked his lips and looked at Yu Dayou, although the command of the operation is currently unable to catch because of injuries, but this kind of decision must still be made by Yu Dayou.
Of course there is a grudge, Qian Yuan snorted and made such a judgment, not to mention the others for the time being, Xu Hai's character should be clear grievances, kill Shen Chong, marry Wang Cuiqiao as his wife, history proves the latter, and the former is also very likely to be true.
But Yu Dayou has never said anything, and the long-term ups and downs and hardships have made him hesitate in this kind of matter.
The gossip of the crowd began to rush to the other way.
After Yang Wen's eyes flickered and glanced at Qian Yuan, he began to talk about the day after entering the city, he saw that Shen Sect Commander going to the Qinglou to have fun.
Li Liangqin and Lu Bin's faces were full of indignation, while the young Qi Jimei actually looked envious.
Tang Shunzhi was very sensitive to the fact that that Songjiang Xiucai had not said a word until now.
"Ask me?" Qian Yuan Nunu mouthed, "It doesn't matter if an old man doesn't cultivate, but if he doesn't keep a few things secret, it will be harmful." ”
"It doesn't matter if you send some money, anyway, there is the Datong chief soldier Zhuyu in front."
Qian Yuan's words made Tang Shunzhi's face look very ugly, and Qi Jimei on the side couldn't help laughing.
A few years ago, Qiu Luan, the general of Datong, bribed me not to attack Datong, but as a result, people collected money to attack the Beijing Division, which was the Gengxu Rebellion that made Emperor Jiajing lose face, and then Qiu Luan was also named the general of Pingping.
"But send a message out...... Once it is leaked, from General Yu to General Yu, to Xiucai in this district, they will have to live a lifetime with infamy. Qian Yuan shook his head, "Never." ”
Tang Shunzhi pulled his face and turned his head to look at the wall, in his philosophy, no matter what it is, there can be no compromise...... But listening to Qian Yuan's tone, if the widow didn't want a teaching, a change of officials, a head catcher, or a sum of money, he would not hesitate to agree.
This is a person who has no bottom line in his heart...... Tang Shunzhi made such a judgment.
"Although the Japanese invaded the city for six consecutive days, the city was still stable, the loss of soldiers was not large, and the village warriors could also help." Qian Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Let's go back and rest, don't disturb General Yu, by the way, everyone who keeps vigil is in good spirits." ”
Qian Yuan had already arranged the manpower and order of the night vigil, and everyone only needed to come in the order on the table.
Everyone went out, but Qian Yuan sat there and didn't get up.
Turning his head to look at Tang Shunzhi, who hadn't left, Qian Yuan picked up the letter and shook his head, "General Pinghai...... Hehe, if he really has a grudge against Shen Jiaoyu to attack Chongde County, and as long as Shen Jiaoyu, then he should have sent this letter before the siege on the first day. ”
Yu Dayou squinted and nodded slowly.
"If you can't win the war, you can't attack, do you still expect us to give in, an unpopular teaching, but it can be regarded as a civil official." Qian Yuan talked eloquently, "Does he expect Mr. Yu to send you a civilian official?" ”
"As long as the brain is not broken, you should know that this is impossible."
"I'd rather die in battle than send it away, right?"
Qian Yuan raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea, sipping his mouth and said, "So, this letter is very strange, very strange, and the most strange thing is that it was sent at the wrong time. ”
"Attacking the city for six days in a row, this Pinghai general should have been under a lot of pressure, you must know that the Japanese are here for money, and it is not his forte or his liking to attack the city."
"They should be back soon."
"But at this time, the letter came."
Qian Yuan turned the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Or, he just made a few words of intimidation, but he can accurately grasp the fighter plane and defeat General Yu's soldiers in Pinghu County in one fell swoop, such a person should not be a fool who bluffs." ”
Glancing at Yu Dayou's face, Tang Shunzhi snorted, "Back then, the Duke of Hetan was ranked among the top five leaders in the Tianfu Township Test with "Rites", but the descendants were so rude! ”
Qian Yuan laughed dryly, quickly took a teacup and poured a cup of tea for Tang Shunzhi, who saw that the corners of his mouth twitched...... I'm saying you didn't pour me tea?
The atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little lighter, Yu Dayou smiled reluctantly, and then said in a deep voice: "Or, this Pinghai general...... I want to attack and steal the city at night. ”
Tang Shunzhi was surprised, turned his head to look at Yu Dayou, and then looked at Qian Yuan, who didn't seem to be surprised at all, "Night attack? Unlikely, right? For six days, the Japanese never attacked the city at night. ”
Legend has it that the night attack seems to be the magic weapon for victory, but in fact, in the ancient battlefield, the night attack is very dangerous, and the probability of success is not high.
One of the key factors is that the ancient people, especially the lower class soldiers, had a high rate of night blindness, and if there was no moonlight, they often could not see anything.
But there is a group of people on the southeast coast who have a very small chance of getting night blindness, and they are the Wakos.
They wander on the sea all year round and often eat fish, which can replenish the body's vitamin A, and most of them can see at night, so it is theoretically possible to steal the city.
"Can you avoid being blindfolded by eating fish all year round?" Tang Shunzhihu asked, "Just this? ”
"And those who haven't been there." Qian Yuan said calmly: "Attacking the city for six days in a row has proved his determination, and he didn't use a killer move, how can he be willing to stop?" ”
"Of course, the most important thing is the timing of the letter."
After a while, Tang Shunzhi was convinced, and Qian Yuan summoned Yang Wen and Wang Yi, who were waiting outside, and asked people to call Lu Bin, Li Liangqin, Wang Shi and others.
Listening to the chaos outside, Yu Dayou squinted his eyes and thought in his heart, it seemed that this Songjiang Xiucai knew the Pinghai general outside the city very well......
