Chapter Ninety-Three: Conquering the Inner City{2}

Su Shang's confirmation dispelled Du Ruhui's worries! Soon the two returned to the camp, the two handed over the war horse to the soldiers, and Du Ruhui followed Su Shang and walked quickly into the temporary tent!

"Now that the marshal has decided to attack the city, I wonder what the marshal's plan is?"

"Not much planning! There are only over 2,000 enemy troops in the city, and we are five times as large as them, so it will not be difficult to destroy them! I'm going to break down around 5 a.m. tonight! ”

"It's a good time! Five watches in the morning, this is the most tired time of the day for the human body, which is very suitable for the army to attack! However, there is one thing we may note, the city has now mobilized ordinary people to defend the city, and they can be divided into two shifts to take turns on duty! ”

Su Shang thought for a while, his brows furrowed, and he felt that he was still thinking less, and he was indeed ignoring the people and defenders in the city, "I don't know if there is any good way, please ask me!" ”

"The art of war has clouds, the time is not as good as the place, and the location is not as good as the people. It can be said that now in addition to choosing a time of day, the geographical advantages and people are occupied by the defenders of the domestic city. However, since the marshal was sure to break through the city gates with ease, then their geographical advantage was not to be feared! ”

Du Ruhui looked at the soldiers outside the tent, stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "As for people, it was originally difficult to po jiě!" However, they have a weakness, they only have more than 2,000 regular troops, and the rest are ordinary people, and the endurance and physical strength of ordinary people are seriously insufficient. ”

After speaking, Du Ruhui whispered to Su Shang, and Su Shang nodded again and again, "Ruhui is high!" ”

……

Halfway through the hour, Yuān Gàiwén put down the book in his hand, then stroked his forehead, and lay down on the sandalwood bed, but his mind was thinking about the enemy army outside the city!

Yesterday at noon, there was a rout of the army fled back, so he also knew about his father's ambush defeat, at that time he knew that things were going to be bad, immediately ordered his generals to mobilize the people in the city to participate in the defense of the city, and in order to prevent the enemy from stealing the city, he also strictly ordered the defending generals not to open the city gate without permission, if necessary, must first report to him for approval!

Yuān Gàiwén was a little lucky, fortunately he had made arrangements in advance yesterday, otherwise, it would be impossible to say that he would have let the enemy army successfully trick the city into at noon today!

Thinking of today's noon incident, Yuān Gàiwén let out a long sigh, he knew very well that the sick general who shouted outside the city gate today was his father, but in order to prevent the enemy army from breaking through the domestic city, he could only deny it!

Yuān Gàiwén had a little headache, and pressed the temples on both sides of his forehead with both hands at the same time, the enemy army wanted to cheat the city as soon as he arrived, indicating that the enemy army was more aware of the situation of the defenders in the city, and he was a little worried that the enemy troops outside the city would attack the city overnight!

"Report to the eldest prince, the enemy army outside the city is preparing to attack the city!"

At this moment, a pro-soldier rushed in to report, and suddenly woke up yuān gàiwén from a state of confusion!

Yuān Gàiwén quickly put on his armor and carried his weapon, and rushed to the city, only to see that the city was in chaos, only the regular soldiers were still holding their posts, and the people who were assisting in defending the city were running back and forth from time to time in order to avoid the sharp arrows fired from under the city walls.

Yuān Gàiwén held the overlord qiāng in his hand, swung it vigorously, and blocked the sharp arrows that flew one by one, he pushed away the people who were blocking the way with one hand, rushed to the battlements, and looked under the city wall, his face suddenly became much gloomy!

He guessed the situation outside the city correctly, but only half right, the torches under the city were bright, the drums shook the sky, and it looked like the city was about to be attacked, but there were not many enemy troops under the city, except for more than 1,000 people who stayed two hundred paces away with torches and beating war drums, only five or six hundred cavalry were running back and forth to shoot arrows at the city!

He somewhat understood the meaning of the enemy army outside the city, the enemy wanted to harass his own city defense, so that his soldiers could fall into chaos, so that they could not rest in shifts!

"Damn!" Yuān Gàiwén cursed secretly, the enemy army outside the city must know the composition of their army, so they deliberately did this! They want to drag down the physical strength and spirit of ordinary people by harassing them!

Yuān Gàiwén stood at the head of the city, looking out of the city, wanting to see what movement the enemy camp was outside the city, but unfortunately there was a dark night sky outside the city, and he couldn't see the situation of the enemy camp outside the city at all, so he could only order viciously, "Let the soldiers be careful!" Put on your armor and patrol up! ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant general next to him also felt a burst of grievance!

Outside the city, in the dark, Su Shang looked at the city from afar, and there were Du Ruhui, as well as Su Dingfang and other generals!

"The marshal is ready to strike at it three times? They have walls to defend it, I'm afraid yuān gàiwén won't be fooled! Su Dingfang asked a little puzzled!

"It's not! I have other preparations for breaking through the city gates, and the main purpose of this move is to harass the enemy's shift rest and consume their mental and physical strength! ”

Su Shang turned his head to the generals and said: "There are many civilians in the city to assist in the defense, but none of them have been systematically trained, and their physical endurance is far inferior to that of regular soldiers, so in order to reduce the casualties of our soldiers, I have to consume their mental and physical strength first!"

"The marshal is so considerate and cherishes the soldiers, it is really a blessing for our soldiers!" Everyone was a little moved and sighed one after another!

"That's it! Don't be a sycophant! Su Shang scolded with a smile, "The soldiers are loyal to me, they are all my people, I must love them and do my best to protect their safety!" ”

"Now, let's move on to the siege! Tonight, General Su will attack and harass the enemy army at the head of the city every half an hour, and it will continue until we officially attack the city! And we will officially attack the city at the end of the fifth watch tonight morning, and break into the city at the time of the handover! ”

"The primary purpose of our attack on the domestic city this time is to provide various materials such as grain, grass, weapons and so on, after the army entered the city, General Li Mo led 2,000 people to seize the grain and grass storehouse in the city, and the armory warehouse was led by General Su Dingfang and another 2,000 soldiers in charge. You all have to pay special attention, this time the supplies are the first, and you must not let the enemy take advantage of the chaos to set fire! ”

"Yes! The end will understand! Li Mo and Su Dingfang saluted solemnly at the same time!

Su Shang turned to Huang Lin again, "General Huang Lin, I will also give you two thousand people." You are responsible for the security of the city gates, after entering the city, you must immediately arrange for people to take over the four city gates, except for the south gate, the other three city gates can be temporarily sealed, and it is strictly forbidden for the people in the city to flee! ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the soldiers will come with me to clear the enemy army in the city! The enemy in the city, whether it is soldiers or ordinary people, if they do not abandon their weapons and surrender, they will be killed! ”

"Yes! The last will understand! Everyone answered in unison.

"Okay, now let's go back and arrange for the soldiers to take turns to rest, and the army will gather on time at seven o'clock in the morning!"
