Chapter 55: Mesu's Analysis!
"King Yuzhang's Northern Expeditionary Army, plus King Zhenbei's 80,000 Northern Army, is enough to resolve the crisis in the capital!"
Lin Yan's eyes were deep, and his eyebrows tightened: "It's just that I didn't expect that Uncle Zhenbei would personally lead the army to come, which really surprised this king!" ”
Xun You also bowed slightly: "The king of Zhenbei has always been brave and loyal, galloping on the battlefield all the year round, at this time Kyoto is trapped, the Son of Heaven is in danger, how can he be indifferent?" ”
"100,000 Northern Border troops directly transferred 80,000, such loyalty, it is really admirable!"
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Jun Wuji beside him: "Lord Jun, I don't know how long it will take for the two princes to arrive in Kyoto?" ”
"At least five days!"
"Five-day ......"
Xun You was silent, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also in a trance, Yue Fei strode up to the city tower and said softly: "Your Highness! ”
"How much did our army lose?"
"More than half of the prisoner army in this war has been lost, and the forbidden army has suffered more than 700 casualties!"
"How many soldiers do we have in the city today?"
Yue Fei paused for a moment and said softly: "The Chang'an army is 30,000, the forbidden army is more than 20,000, and the prisoner army is 4,000!" ”
"As for the newly recruited young people, they can't go to the battlefield for the time being!"
Lin Yan bowed slightly: "There are nearly 60,000 troops in total, if Xiqi really attacks the city at any cost, how long can we hold on?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Yue Fei was silent, but all the civil and military officers on his side were silent.
"Your Highness, the manufacture of three-bow strong crossbow arrows is cumbersome, once there is no three-bow strong crossbow, our combat power will be directly cut in half, once Xiqi's army takes the city tower, we can only be slaughtered!"
"Not bad!" Yue Fei also had a solemn face: "Now our only advantage is that these three strong crossbows, long-range suppression, can greatly weaken the effect of Xiqi crossbowmen, so that they can't get close to the city tower and suppress our soldiers!" ”
"If the three-bow crossbow is withdrawn, Xiqi's archers can completely suppress our people from under the city tower and cover the siege of Xiqi's army!"
"At that time, I'm afraid it's ......"
Lin Yan also sighed, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose, if it is said that the siege equipment, Xiqi can be said to be poor and white, relying on siege vehicles and ladders to support, as for catapults, ballistas, it is a luxury!
But with the grassland horse under the crotch and the sun-shooting bow in his hand, he simply laid down half of Yasukuni!
If the two armies face each other, just Xiqi's archers can consume all the soldiers on the castle tower!
"You have no intention!"
Lin Yan groaned slightly, "Immediately summon the two princes, hide their whereabouts as much as possible, and when the army arrives, we will go out of the city to respond!" ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Xun You's eyes: "Your Highness, this is preparing to leave all these 200,000 troops behind!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly: "Even if we add the 110,000 soldiers and horses of the two princes, we are barely on par with the Xiqi army, and if we want to annihilate it, I'm afraid we are powerless!" ”
Lin Yan said lightly: "So, everything depends on Gong Jin!" ”
"General Zhou!"
Xun You's eyes also lit up, and Yue Fei nodded heavily: "If you can cut off the supply of the Xiqi army, you will have a chance of life!" ”
……
"Your Majesty, there are three main reasons why our army's siege has been frustrated!"
"Say!"
King Xiqi's face was as calm as water as always, and there were no waves in his eyes, as if he was an emotionless machine!
"First, Yasukuni has three powerful crossbows, which are extremely powerful and have an amazing range, and the lethality of our army is extremely terrifying!"
"Second, our army's siege equipment is very backward, looking at the Central Plains countries, the siege weapons include crash cars, building cars, bed crossbows, catapults, etc., while our army only has crash cars and ladders!"
"This Jing'an City has thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if our army has a large number of troops, brave and good at fighting, it is not easy to take Jing'an City!"
"What about the third?"
Namon, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.
Mei Su groaned slightly, and there was a hint of deep color in her eyes, "Third, and the most important point!" ”
"Now, the hearts of Yasukuni people are available!"
"When the Central Plains marches to fight, it pays attention to the time, location, and people!"
"At this time, it is autumn, the weather is pleasant, and the Yasukuni capital has few major generals, and our 200,000 troops are knocking on the pass, which is the time to occupy the sky!"
"However, our army is attacking the city, the Jing army is defending the city, Jing'an City is thick and the city is thick and easy to defend and difficult to attack, we don't have a lot of profits!"
"As for the people!" Mei Su's eyes narrowed: "In just half a month, I don't know what happened in Yasukuni, and it was able to change from a group of rabble to a group of usable soldiers!" ”
"Even repeatedly frustrated the edge of our army, it is enough to see that among Yasukuni, there are high-ranking people who are behind!"
"What do you think?"
King Xiqi's eyes fell on Nameng's body, as the number one person in the Xiqi army, King Xiqi still trusted and relied on him very much.
"If the king allows, the last general will personally command, and at any cost, the city can be broken in three days!"
Hearing that sonorous and powerful voice, King Xiqi hesitated for a moment, "What are you going to do?" ”
"The easiest way, 200,000 troops, attack in one fell swoop!"
Mei Su frowned slightly: "No!" ”
"Now the morale of the Jing army is high, if our army is reckless, it will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
"There's nothing else you can do." Nameng muttered: "Now there are at least 50,000 defenders in Jing'an City, and there is a slight possibility for us to fight!"
"The cost of our supply line is too great, and if it continues to drag on, the country will not be able to survive the winter!"
Mei Su fell into deep thought for a long time, and King Xiqi was not in a hurry to speak, while Nameng waited quietly!
"Your Majesty, it's better for us to make peace with Yasukuni!"
Mei Su pondered for a long time before speaking.
"Peace?"
The eyes of the Xiqi generals were full of surprise, "Military advisor, now that my Daqi has reached the imperial capital of Yasukuni, you let us withdraw our troops?" ”
"Why is that?"
"Yes, military advisor, how should we explain to the elders of the tribe and the sons who died in battle!"
Looking at the generals below who looked quite excited, Mei Su said softly: "Your Majesty, generals! ”
"Now that our 200,000 troops are pressing the border, we have reached the capital of Yasukuni, but we have lost nearly 30,000 sons and daughters after a few days here!"
"Jing'an City is the imperial capital of Yasukuni, they will defend Kyoto at all costs, although we have many soldiers, but this battle is a siege war!"
"If you want to take Jing'an City, you will definitely pay an extremely painful price."
"Therefore, the next suggestion is to negotiate peace with Yasukuni, let them cede all the west of the imperial capital to our country, and ask for gold, silver and grain to support us!"
"In this way, as long as we repair for half a year and stay until next spring, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the feed is sufficient, we can attack Qianzhou and Yizhou in the north, Kunzhou and Yongzhou in the south, and the imperial capital in the east!"
"The Yasukuni court is already very corrupt, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, and if it drags on for another three or five months, war will break out in Yasukuni!"
