Chapter 590: An Awkward Situation

The street fighting was not easy to fight, although most of the Yuan soldiers had been dispersed, and only a few madmen who did not give up were left, but it also caused a lot of casualties to Shi Bin's troops. This made Shi Bin look particularly distressed.

So Shi Bin came up with a small plan and handed over the task of sweeping away the remnants of the Yuan people in the city to Lu Wende's men and the old soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and his own elite was transferred out to repair.

Looking at the soldiers on both sides who were constantly falling in pools of blood, Shi Bin couldn't bear it in his heart and ordered to surrender. It's just that the effect is not much, they have already killed the red eyes, either you die or I die, and the Yuan people have long been unable to think normally.

At this time, Wang San's think tank suddenly spoke: "Dashuai, have you found something?" ”

"What's that? Isn't it just fighting, killing, life and death? What else? Although he won the battle, Shi Bin was not in a good mood at this time, so he spoke a little stiffly.

"Dashuai, now you say that if such a group of people stand in front of you wearing the same clothes, can you tell who is my Great Song soldier and who is the Yuan soldier?" Wang San asked with a smile.

If such a group of guys were standing in front of them dressed the same, Shi Bin would not be able to tell who they were from the Song Dynasty and who were from the Yuan Dynasty, even if he wanted to ask clearly, he might not be able to bear to check in detail.

"Brother Xian means that I want to send some people to mix in with the defeated army of these Yuan people and enter the city?" Shi Bin asked uncertainly.

"Exactly. The lowly thinks that such a state of chaos is the best fit for us to infiltrate the city. Even if it is discovered, it will not lose many people, but once it succeeds, it will make a big difference, at least it will allow us to lose 10,000 people. ”

It's certainly a good idea, but there are still imperfections. Shi Bin thought that it was necessary to find some people who knew the language of the Yuan people to carry out this task, and it was best to be tall and similar to the Yuan people, so as to reduce the suspicion of the Yuan people about them. After all, Ah Rahan is also a general, and he must be thoughtful and impossible to let go of the defeated soldiers who poured into the city at this time, and there will still be basic discrimination. And these people must be their own elites, not Lu Wende's people, let alone the old soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

After thinking of this, Shi Bin felt a little uneasy in his heart, although there were only two or three hundred people who infiltrated the city, but these were all elites, it was difficult to find such loyal subordinates, and if one died, there would be one less.

However, if you don't gamble like this, you will lose thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. So in the end, Shi Bin ordered to send two hundred soldiers who understood the language of the Yuan people and were similar to the Yuan people to mix into the city as internal responses.

It's just that Shi Bin and Wang San both underestimated the wisdom of Arakhan, and the treacherous and cunning Arakhan did not let a single defeated army enter the city. Instead, the 20,000 defeated troops were placed in a large military camp outside the city of Zhending, where there were 20,000 soldiers of Arakhan.

That is to say, now there is a large military camp of 40,000 soldiers outside Zhending City, and there are 40,000 elites in the city who have not lost a single soldier. The two are horns of each other, and they can rush to the other's aid at any time.

This made Shi Bin, who thought that he could take advantage of the big victory, to take advantage of the big victory, and the others immediately stopped smiling, but they were not sad, but calmed down. After all, there are internal responses in and out of the city, and it will be much easier to defeat the Yuan people, even if Ah Rahan wants to be a shrunken turtle Shi Bin's side, there are still many chances of winning.

It's just that against such an opponent, Shi Bin must not be more careful.

Leading an army of more than 100,000 to the city of Zhending, looking at the high and deep pond of Zhending in front of him and a large camp with 40,000 horses in the distance, Shi Bin asked: "How do you say we should set up camp, should we gather in one place or divide into two places like them?" There is no shortage of people who can command the army and have a strategic strategy. ”

"My lord, I think we should gather our soldiers and horses in one place, not two. We don't have a strong city to resist, and once the two battalions are cut off, it is easy to rout. Wang San said.

"It makes sense, but it doesn't feel convenient to move troops in one place." Shi Bin said with a frown

said, "I'm still afraid that the Yuan people's sneak attack will successfully take advantage of the chaos to defeat our army." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we can divide the camp into two camps, the inner and the outer battalion. The outer battalion is stationed with Lu Wende's men and horses and the old soldiers of the Song Dynasty, who are not strong in combat, while the inner battalion is all stationed with our own soldiers and horses. In this way, even if the outer camp is breached, as long as we find the chaos in time, we can still recapture the outer camp and drive away the Yuan people. Wang San said, "If the adults are still afraid, then open the camp gate less, and each thousand-strong army will send a few people to supervise and inspect." ”

"Sir, Lord Wang's proposal is good. This method can disguise our army as an arrogant soldier with lax military discipline, so as to lure the Yuan people to attack. But it won't have a big impact on our own strength, and the cannon fodder that lures the enemy is not our own people. Jia Ling smiled slyly.

After listening to Jia Ling's analysis, Shi Bin immediately ordered: only two camp gates were opened for the inner and outer battalions, the outer battalion was stationed with Lu Wende and Song Ting's soldiers and horses, and the inner battalion was stationed with his own soldiers and horses.

The next step is to attack the real decision step by step. In Shi Bin's view, as long as he blocked the support of the Yuan people's camp outside the city, and then used the method of the first battle of Xinde in Zhending, Zhending would definitely fall.

However, from the very beginning, Arhan repaired the city wall tightly, and there was a soldier guarding it dozens of paces. Although Shi Bin's men dug through several passages, all the soldiers who infiltrated were martyred without exception.

Knowing that the old plan would not work, Shi Bin had no choice but to come up with a radical method, send people to the city to scold the battle, and scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Arakhan, and even scolded Genghis Khan's golden family. Who knew that Ah Rahan turned a deaf ear, and let Shi Bin's subordinates scold him but he couldn't fight.

Shi Bin was anxious. As an attacker, it is necessary to fight quickly, and it is dangerous to be held back, especially because of the adverse effects caused by lack of food. As a last resort, Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were convened for a meeting.

"What do you say? That Arakhan is an old turtle, he can't die in battle, and we don't have much food and grass to support it for long. If we can't break the city within two months, we will have to return to Sindh. Shi Bin said.

"Otherwise, let's let the wind out and say that the marshal has a dispute with the generals of Lu Wende and Song Ting. One side wants to continue the attack, and the other side wants to retreat immediately? Said Seish.

Since there was no other solution, Shi Bin had no choice but to agree.

What made Shi Bin happy was that Arakhan finally fell into the plan and sent 5,000 soldiers and horses from the large camp outside the city to attack the camp, and most of the 5,000 men and horses were lost as a result. But what made Shi Bin angry was that the Arakhana turtle actually ordered the camp outside the city to hang up a free battle card and refuse to fight.

"What should I do?" Shi Bin was so anxious that he jumped a little now, and scolded, "That shameless turtle, the dignified general actually didn't fight, and directly hung up the war-free card, this is to consume my army here!" ”

"What the marshal said is true, that Ah Rahan is sinister and really wants to consume our army here without spending a single soldier." Wang San said.

"We can't be disgraced by a free card, that's a big joke!" Sai Si Shi sneered.

"Naturally, we can't retreat because of a brand, but we have to think of a way to reduce casualties, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses." Jia Ling said.

It's a pity that the wish is beautiful, the reality is cruel, and I haven't figured out a way to think about it all night. In order not to lose morale, Shi Bin had to order to continue the attack on Zhending City.

With such hard consumption, even if he used all cannon fodder Shi Bin, he couldn't bear it, but he didn't want to use his elite to attack the city, so he was in a dilemma. It can be said that 'I can't sleep at night without knowing the taste of food'.

One day, when Shi Bin had just woken up and was still dazed, a soldier entered the commander's tent to report the military situation, but he panicked and said the wrong thing, saying 'casualties of more than 8,000' to 'casualties of more than 18,000'. Even if the soldier immediately changed his mind, it made Shi Bin very angry, and without saying anything, he ordered someone to give him a punishment of twenty military sticks. Perhaps because he felt that he was also a little excessive, after the military law was executed, Shi Bin sent someone to send two taels of silver to condole.

Wang San, who heard this, was afraid that Shi Bin would continue to go frantic and arbitrarily enforce military law, so they immediately came to comfort him.

didn't want to be misunderstood, Shi Bin naturally explained the matter 1510. The three of them saw that the soldier had indeed made a mistake, so they didn't plan to say more, but continued to discuss with Shi Bin how to break the city.

After all, the casualties have now exceeded 8,000, and the total casualties are close to 14,000, which is not small. And there's only a month left. At that time, if the city cannot be breached, it will have to retreat, and the attack that has been prepared for a long time will end with the capture of Sindh.

A few people sat in the handsome tent with sad faces and thought of a way, but no one could have a way.

"It's all to blame for the non-commissioned officer who reported the military situation indiscriminately, so that I always have the casualty figures in my head, and I can't think quietly!" Shi Bin complained.

This is naturally a tantrum of mind, Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi laughed helplessly, Xu Feng didn't dare to laugh and just sighed.

After such a complaint, Shi Bin's mind always flashed the plot of 'indiscriminately reporting military information', and he felt that he had touched something. So he stopped talking, he didn't move, he stopped all movements, as if he were a Buddha in meditation.

Seeing Shi Bin like this, Wang San felt that a turnaround might be coming, so he didn't dare to make a little noise, for fear of disturbing Shi Bin.

Living up to expectations, Shi Bin didn't take long to laugh and was very confident.

"Xu Feng, is the Yuan people divided into two places?"

"Yes, Sir." Xu Feng replied.

"You said that if we sent someone to send false information to Arahan, saying that the camp outside the city was going to be breached, what did you say he would do, and would he just refuse to defend the city and ignore the camp outside the city?"

"Absolutely not."

"My lord, I think that if the camp is breached, it will have a great impact on the morale of the Yuan people, and it will really become a lonely city, and it will not be difficult to break it."

"Dashuai, it's a good way to send false information, the question is how to win the trust of Arakhan?" Wang San asked.

"Simple, let's attack both Zhending City and the camp outside the city, but it is a feint attack on Zhending, and it is a real attack on the camp outside the city. That big camp is only temporarily built, it will not be very strong, and as long as we attack it for a few days, the Yuan people in it will definitely suffer heavy casualties. At this time, we will send troops to send false information to Arakhan that the camp outside the city is about to be breached, and Arakhan is afraid that he will become a lone soldier and will definitely go out of the city to rescue, so we will have a chance at this time. Shi Bin smiled.

This is indeed a clever plan, as long as the large camp outside the city is in danger, there is no worry that Arakhan will not lead the army to rescue.

"Dashuai, I still have a plan." Jia Ling said with a smile.

"Tell me about it."

"Have you forgotten our return cannon?"

How could Shi Bin forget, such a big killer? It's just that this thing is too destructive, and Shi Bin doesn't want a Zhending City that has been beaten into ruins.

As if expecting what Shi Bin was thinking, Jia Ling continued: "We don't have to use the Huihui artillery to hit the Zhending City, but we can use the Huihui artillery to hit the camp outside the city..."

Firearms plus return guns··· With such cooperation, a temporary military camp will definitely not be able to withstand it in three days, and it will be breached. Once it is broken, won't it make the Yuan army in the city frightened?

"Okay, immediately build twenty return cannons, and send 10,000 firearms to cooperate with the attack on the north gate of the camp outside the city, and it will be placed on the road to the rescue of Arakhan! I'm going to let him jump in on his own! Shi Bin laughed.

"Marshal, I would like to ask you to think clearly, our focus is on annihilating the Yuan army or capturing Zhending City."

"What do you mean?"

"Marshal, if we want to fight a large-scale war of annihilation, we will not be able to capture Zhending, and if we capture Zhending, we will annihilate an army of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan at most, and we will flee a lot."

Obviously, it was impossible to have both fish and bear's paws, but this did not make Shi Bin feel embarrassed, because he quickly made a decision: the focus was to break through Zhending to cut off the retreat of the Arakhan reinforcements and annihilate the reinforcements with all his might. As for the Yuan army in the camp, as long as it is blocked. And as soon as the reinforcements leave the city, the city should immediately open to receive them.
