Chapter 231: To Attack or Not to Attack

Ma Shilong, who had been preparing for more than half an hour, ordered the army to prepare to attack, when he suddenly found that there was a voice of distress and scolding on the city wall. You know the sound, you can hear it even from kilometers away.

I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in my heart, I knew what the other party was doing.

Ma Shilong, who was standing in the middle of the army and holding clairvoyance, looked at the faces on the city wall, and suddenly felt that his heart was dripping blood. The order to launch the first wave of attacks was also canceled by his own order.

Hostage, Ma Shilong never thought that Haoge would be so desperate to gather the Han people in the city and send them to the city wall as cannon fodder.

If you have the heart to order an attack, but the city walls are all your own compatriots, and you really can't do it, let alone attack yourself. Don't dare to say anything else, at least on the city wall on your side, the Han people will definitely be killed and injured, which makes how the people under his command will look at themselves, will they feel that they are ruthless, and they don't even care about their own compatriots. In the future, if it is transmitted to the territory, how will the emperor and courtiers think about it, will they directly order themselves to be killed to appease the anger of the people in the country?

It's just that if you don't attack, you will go against your goal, and you are likely to miss the opportunity. Even the more than 10,000 troops under his command may fall into a place of no return, which will make how the people under his command perceive themselves, will they feel a little indecisive.

So now this is very tangled, whether to attack or not to attack is developing in a bad direction, one is about oneself personally, and the other is about the whole overall situation.

In the past, I seemed to encounter such a selective problem, but I had shirked it for various reasons, but now I can't find any reason to shirk it.

Haoge in the attic was also very nervous, wondering if Ma Shilong would be blocked by his plan. Now seeing Ma Shirongzheng's order to stop the attack, he immediately laughed and said unscrupulously to the people around him.

"This is a group of timid and scared guys."

Hauge, who was relieved, brought his entourage and the generals responsible for guarding the city wall to the city wall.

"Is the bright dog at the bottom Ma Shilong? I didn't expect you Ma Shilong to have the potential to be a thief, and you sneaked under my nose.

Now Ben Baylor is here, waiting for you, Ma Shilong, to come and take my head."

Soon, more than a dozen Jiannu shouted out Haoge's words loudly in unison, which made some irascible generals in the Ming army very angry, and one gritted his teeth to attack, but they were all forcibly suppressed by Ma Shilong.

Ma Shilong, with a gloomy face, looked at the Han people on the city wall who were crying through clairvoyance. Sometimes there was a lot of commotion, and he was directly whipped on the body by Jiannu, who was in charge of guarding behind him. The already tattered clothes were directly beaten under this horse mark, and the skin was opened.

Men, women, the elderly, children. At this time, only some men were still able to be strong without crying or making trouble, looking at the Ming army under the city. As for the others, they all hugged each other, their bodies trembled constantly, and the tears on their faces never stopped.

"Attack, we must attack, otherwise we will sneak all the way to eat and sleep in the open, and even in order not to be exposed, we only march at night, how much suffering we have endured along the way, and even come to Shengjing at the risk of annihilation of the whole army, is it to come and see and leave?"

"Attack, you said lightly, don't you see the guards on the city walls? All of them are Han Chinese, and they will be introduced to China in the future, and you don't plan to live, so it's hard to even want to burden adults."

"What's the burden on adults, I think it's that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are afraid that you will lose your official position in the future."

"What do you say? You bastard".

…………

To attack or not to attack, Ma Shilong's army was also divided into two factions. For a while, the two sides pinched together and quarreled with a white face, if it weren't for Ma Shilong's presence at the scene, it was very likely that the two gangs would have fought.

"Okay, don't be noisy."

Ma Shilong, whose head was torn apart, said loudly.

"The last will be convicted."

Although everyone was apologizing, their eyes were still full of contempt when they looked at each other.

"Chen Kang immediately sent cavalry to investigate in the direction of Zu Dashou and Mao Wenlong, to see if Jiannu showed signs of retreating, if they did not continue to move forward to find the two, take out the order of the Governor, let them drag it to death, and never allow them to return to Shengjing."

Ma Shilong had two prepared documents everywhere to resist Chen Kang, which was an order specially left by Gao Di at the beginning, in order to prevent Jiannu from returning to Shengjing when Ma Shilong launched an attack on the Bible, but the two did not dare to continue to entangle with him.

After Chen Kang took it, he looked at the people present with their own thoughts, and felt that he had better leave first, but he still didn't want to enter this military tent again before the matter came to an end, he was too nervous.

"You guys go down first, and as for attacking or not attacking, let me think about it first."

Ma Shilong felt that he seemed to be a little too tired, and his body was a little tired, so he could only let everyone take a look and think quietly by himself.

Looking at the military tent where there was no one, Ma Shilong sighed brightly.

Is it really a hard thing to choose between attacking or not attacking? Ma Shilong didn't see it that way, if it was a decisive general who commanded an army, it was very likely that he would have ordered the siege of the city a long time ago. After all, the long-term confrontation was very unfavorable to himself, not only could he not keep up with all kinds of grain and grass supplies, but he was even likely to be copied by the Jiannu army.

In fact, such a entanglement is also a heart disease of my own, and I am afraid that once the matter is revealed, it is very likely that my official position will not be guaranteed, and even my head will fall to the ground.

It is said that there is a clear distinction between public and private, and there is a clear distinction between public and private, but when it comes to that time, who doesn't have a selfish heart, can they really distinguish between public and private?

Although all the generals were driven out by Ma Shilong, they did not return to their own army immediately, but waited outside the military tent, after all, when they were racing against time, Ma Shilong could not have thought for too long, otherwise it would be disadvantageous to him.

Of course, everyone was not idle at this time, but they were there one by one, talking privately.

"You said that if we hadn't killed all the villagers who had built slaves, and also captured some of the slaves and put them in front of the two armies, I don't believe that Hauge would have been indifferent."

The words of a thousand households suddenly made everyone's eyes light up. scolded themselves one by one, why didn't they think of this solution? A better way to deal with hostages is to use the hostages of the other side.

"Ma Dazui, this time your big mouth is really timely."

Some Qianhu who have a good relationship walked in front of Ma Dazui, and when they went up, they slapped Ma Dazui on the back, and directly slapped Ma Dazui.

"I didn't expect that Ma Dazui, your big mouth can not only cause trouble, but also come up with a way."

Everyone's words made Ma Dazui stunned, and then reacted, and he seemed to have said a great way to grin his big mouth.

As for the generals' speeches, Ma Shilong could also hear them when he sat in the military tent.

"Catch more, whoever catches more will remember the first merit of this battle."

Ma Shilong, who has already set up camp. Standing at the gate of the camp, looking at the five or six hundred cavalrymen beside him, he said loudly.

With a burst of cheers, hundreds of war horses let go of their horses' hooves, suddenly kicked up a puff of dust, and disappeared from Ma Shilong's gaze.

"You do the first year of junior high school, I do the fifteenth, let's see."

Looking at the high city wall, Ma Shilong smiled slightly.
