Chapter 935: Military Discussion
Early December.
"Newspaper... General, the spies came to report that there were traces of enemy troops thirty miles to the north, and hundreds of thousands of five-nation coalition troops were moving south along the chasm, and above the chasm were full of allied transport ships, and the allied forces and transportation stretched for dozens of miles, as far as the eye could see, and the entire gap was full of the figures of the five-nation coalition forces. ”
"It's finally here." Hearing this, Zhao Ju was not in a hurry, and responded: "Pay close attention to the movements of the coalition forces. ”
"No."
Then, Zhao Ju led the generals to the north city wall, and then looked north, but saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising into the sky in the north.
Not long after, a large wave of people appeared at the end of the line of sight in the north.
After a short time, the crowd approached, and the armies of Qi and Wei were the first to appear in the sight of the Chu people, and then, the flags of the other three countries also came not far from Chencheng.
At this time, the Chu people on the north wall saw that the entire north was densely packed with the armies of the five countries, and there was no end in sight.
After watching for a while, Zhao Ju instructed the people beside him: "Send orders to General Zhaoying in the east, Huang Jun in the west, and Xiang Jun in the south, telling them that the enemy army has arrived, and let them guard the city and not slack off." ”
"No."
"Order, the whole city is on alert, from now on, on the streets of the city, but there are those who act alone. Those who leave the city without an order will also be killed..."
"In addition, General Shen, who sent an order to Yingshui, to block the chasm and not let enemy ships enter Yingshui, and let him control the Yingshui waterway to prevent Qin and Han from transporting grain through Yingshui, and to ensure the rear route of our army."
"No."
Three days later.
The five-nation coalition forces successfully surrounded Chen Chengtuan.
Coalition battalion.
Kuang Zhang sat on the main seat as the chief general of the coalition army, and under him, Wei general Gongsun Xi, Qin general Sima Cuo, Han general Tyranny Kite, Song general Tang Ying were separated from the left and right, and after the four of them, there were more than 20 generals of the Five Kingdoms.
On the main seat, Kuang Zhang looked at the generals of the five countries who were gathered together, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that although some of you have come to fight Chencheng several times, there are also many people who are still here for the first time and are not familiar with Chencheng, an important town in the north of Chu State, so they still need to explain in advance. ”
Saying that, Kuang Zhang bowed his hand to Gongsun Xi and said: "General Xiwu, Chu and Wei have been fighting for Chen Cheng for many years, and Chen Cheng has also been controlled by Wei for many years. ”
"Okay." Gongsun Xi nodded, then looked at Qin and Han, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Chen Cheng is Wanqiu, the capital of Chen State in the past, Chen State has been bullied by Chu State many times, and even destroyed by Chu State several times, so Chen Cheng built the city wall tall and strong a long time ago.
Even, in order to build the walls of Chen City, there were extremely serious riots. The height and solidity of the city wall of Chencheng can be seen.
Later, when our Wei State and Chu State competed for the land of Chen Cai, both countries strengthened the city defense of Chen Di.
Therefore, today, the sturdiness of Chen Cheng has been among the best among all countries. ”
Saying that, Gongsun Xi paused, and then spoke: "There are three main difficulties in attacking Chen Cheng, one of which is the moat several zhang wide outside Chen City, the moat is not only wide, but also the river water is drawn from the chasm. Although the chasm is a canal built by our Wei State, along the way, compared to everyone who also knows that the chasm is not a lot of water. Therefore, if you want to fill the moat, you must first cut off the flow of water before you can start filling the earth.
After filling in the moat, we will face the second difficulty, that is, Chencheng is close to the three-zhang high city wall.
In addition to the city wall, the most troublesome difficulty is Yingshui and the sailors of Chu.
Chen Cheng is backed by Yingshui and faces the chasm in the east, while the water division of Chu is invincible across the Jianghuai. Therefore, the state of Chu relied on the benefits of the water master and has always firmly controlled the Yingshui waterway and provided a steady stream of support for Chen Cheng.
The city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the backup is continuous, which is where Chen Cheng is difficult to capture. ”
Speaking of this, Gongsun Xi hesitated for a moment, looked deeply at the generals of Qin and Han for a while, and then looked at the Song State again, and said: "Before, the Chu State was able to conquer Chen City and destroy the Chen State, but at that time, because the Chen State ran out of food, the army was defeated and the country was destroyed. And the reason why our Wei State was able to conquer the city was because of the defeat of the main force of the Chu State outside Chen City, and then the Chen City was lightly taken.
And the current Chencheng, the Chu army is shrinking into the city, and Yingshui is constantly supporting, so if you want to conquer Chencheng, it is by no means a temporary achievement, and I hope you will be prepared for long-term combat. ”
After Gongsun Xi finished speaking, everyone looked at Song General Tang Ying.
Before the Song State had not sent troops, there was chaos in the country, and this matter was in an uproar, and the world knew about it.
The thing that everyone is most worried about now is that before Chen Cheng is captured, there will be turmoil on the Song side, and then the Song army will retreat in advance. In this way, it will be a serious blow to the morale of the coalition forces.
At this time, the Song general Tang Ying saw that Gongsun Xi was half warning and half taking precautions in advance, and the others all looked at it and immediately reassured: "You can rest assured, before you lead the army to the alliance, you are ready for a long-term battle. ”
After Tang Ying was saved, Kuang Zhang immediately spoke: "Okay, since everyone is mentally prepared to besiege Chen Cheng for a long time, then let's discuss how to attack Chen Cheng, everyone..."
"Wait!"
Before Kuang Zhang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sima Mistake.
At this time, Sima Cuo saw that everyone was looking at him, so he arched his hand and said: "General Zhangzi, there is a question below, Chen Cheng is not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also has a 300,000 army led by Chu Xiangzhaoju himself to defend it, so why should we attack such a heavy city." ”
Kuang Zhang was interrupted by Sima Cuo just now, and he was already unhappy in his heart, and at this moment, when he heard Sima Cuo questioning his strategy, he was even more unhappy in his heart.
But in the face of Sima Cuo, a famous general of the Qin State, he could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart, looked at Sima Cuo and asked, "I don't know what the general thinks?" ”
Hearing this, Sima said with a smile: "Everyone, I have seen that the State of Chu has abandoned all the cities north of Chen City when we have traveled all the way. Moreover, during the three days of exploration, the cities around Chen Cheng were also empty cities, and all the Chu troops had shrunk to Chen Cheng.
Not only that, but my Qin country's spies came to report that the city south of Yingshui, its soldiers and soldiers were also transferred to Chencheng, and it was empty and abnormal at the moment.
With such a situation in the Chu State, why don't we take the strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the false? ”
Saying that, Sima Cuo smiled and said in high spirits: "According to the following opinion, our five-nation alliance army has 700,000 people, and we can leave 400,000 troops here to besiege Chen Cheng, contain Zhao Ju's department, and then divide 300,000 troops to avoid Chen Cheng, and then go south to attack all parts of Chu State."
With the situation south of Yingshui, it will be difficult for the Chu State to block our offensive. At that time, we will conquer the city in the south, as long as we conquer Shangcai, and then besiege the city of Ye, as long as these two places are at once, we can enter Wancheng.
Wancheng is the confidant of the Chu State, as long as the coalition army appears in Wancheng, the Chu State will definitely be shaken, and then the Chu Xiangzhao Ju will definitely not be able to sit firmly in Chencheng, but will go south to rescue.
At that time, the coalition forces remaining in Chendi will take advantage of the situation to pursue, and Zhaoju will inevitably be unable to parry, at that time, not only Chencheng will be broken without attack, but even the entire Huaibei will be divided by our five countries.
Wouldn't this be better than our five-nation alliance army storming the fortified Chen City? ”
As soon as Sima's wrong voice fell, General Han immediately laughed and echoed: "Good strategy, good strategy, General Sima is worthy of being a famous general of the Qin State..."
