Chapter 292: Siege
Without waiting for Wei Qiutai to ask, the military advisor said what he thought in his heart: "The Goguryeo tribe today seems to be almost the same as the county town of Guangning at that time, but if you compare it carefully, there is a difference between heaven and earth. ”
Although Qiangqu was besieged in Guangning County that day, the combat strength of the soldiers was not damaged, but the city wall was borrowed by the officials and soldiers to limit the mobility of the Hun cavalry. At that time, as long as there was a unit that broke through the obstacles of the officers and soldiers, then the officers and troops of the Qiangqu Department would once again exert their might. The military advisor told the events of Guangning County in detail that day.
After analyzing the situation of the Xiongnu tribe that day, the military advisor explained the current situation of the Goguryeo tribe again: "But now the situation of the Goguryeo tribe is not optimistic, although there is grain and grass in the city of the Goguryeo tribe, there are also 80,000 troops, but unfortunately the tribe basically does not have much fighting, even if our soldiers take the risk to help the Goguryeo tribe break through, but walking with this kind of slow-moving tribe, I am afraid that if I can't go far, I will be chased by Zhao Yi's Youzhou army." ”
The more correct the analysis of the military advisor, the smaller the hope of Yu Qiutai to rescue the Goguryeo tribe, and when he said the end, Yu Qiutai had no confidence at all.
The Goguryeo tribe is indeed different from the Qiangqu tribe that was besieged in the county seat of Guangning that day, and according to the current situation, even if the Goguryeo tribes are rescued, then they will not be able to escape the encirclement of the official army, and may even lead the war to their own Fuyu tribe.
Wei Qiutai sighed: "If it is according to what the military advisor said, wouldn't there be no hope for our department at all?" ”
Hearing Wei Qiutai's frustrated words, a smile appeared on the corner of the military advisor's mouth: "The leader's words are wrong, and he thinks that this is a great opportunity for our department to subdue the Goguryeo tribe." ”
Wei Qiutai, who had already lost hope, was once again aroused when he heard this, and stood up excitedly: "Sir, can you tell me more details?" ”
The military advisor stroked the long beard and slowly said his strategy: "According to Mu Bai's style of action before, it can be seen that Mu Bai is not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, and the leader can kill Mu Bai's arrogance with the hands of the officials and soldiers. ”
"What if the official army breaks through the city?" Wei Qiutai asked with some concern, now that there are 120,000 troops in Youzhou, how can the less than 10,000 defensive soldiers of Goguryeo in the city be the opponent of more than 100,000 officers and soldiers. If the time is not well grasped and the Goguryeo tribe is completely annihilated by the official army, then Yu Qiutai's plan will be frustrated.
"Chief, now our soldiers are not in the conditions to fight with the officers and soldiers at all." The military advisor sighed, "The less than 10,000 soldiers of the Goguryeo tribe are not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, even if our troops are dispatched, does the leader think that with our 40,000 soldiers, can we defeat the army of more than 100,000 Youzhou?" ”
In the past and present, there is a famous example of winning more with less, and only the Battle of Julu led by Xiang Yu used the strategy of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat to defeat the 200,000 Qin army with 40,000 Chu troops. One of the big reasons for the success of this battle is because of Xiang Yu's bravery, Xiang Yu relied on his superb martial arts skills to personally lead the army to rush and kill several times in the battle array, crushing the Qin army's sharp spirit, so that the Qin army won the final victory.
But now in the Fuyu camp, there is no such thing as Xiang Yu, who relies on personal bravery to raise the morale to the peak, on the other hand, Zhao Yi's official army camp, but there are many strong generals, in addition to the miraculous Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci who were rumored to be in the battle of Guangning that day, there are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who have just risen up, these people are peerless generals who are difficult to find. The generals of their own tribe may not be picked off by others in two or three rounds to fight with them, so Zi Xiu said that he would boost morale, but I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers will be wiped out because of the defeat of the general.
The Goguryeo tribe is indeed at a critical juncture of life and death, and if the Goguryeo tribe can really be rescued, it is not impossible for its subordinates to be ennobled. This is indeed an opportunity, but compared to the current situation, the official army is too strong, and the Fuyu tribe is too weak, even if Wei Qiutai wants to save the Goguryeo tribe, he is powerless.
"What is your best plan, sir?" Wei Qiutai has now handed over all the right to speak to the military advisor, because Wei Qiutai can see that the military advisor thinks more long-term than him, and thinks more comprehensively than himself.
The general in the tent listened to the analysis of the military division, and also looked sad, according to the military division, his tribe does not seem to have a chance of winning, Hugh said that he has rescued the Goguryeo tribe, if the official army comes to attack, whether his own people can protect themselves is a problem.
The military advisor unfolded the map of Youzhou and pointed out several Youzhou counties: "Among Zhao Yi's hundreds of thousands of Youzhou troops, except for the 80,000 soldiers of the Youzhou army, they are all soldiers and horses of these counties. ”
Before the military advisor's words of analysis were finished, he was interrupted by Wei Qiutai: "Does Sir want my tribe to send troops to attack the county town of Liaodong and force the officers and soldiers to return to help?" When he said this, Wei Qiutai's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that this was indeed a good plan, and if there was something wrong in Youzhou County, Zhao Yi would definitely lead his troops to help.
"If the leader does this, he can solve the danger of the Goguryeo tribe, but he will bring the war to ourselves. If we take advantage of the emptiness of Youzhou's troops to invade Youzhou County, but we have touched Zhao Yi's bottom line, according to Zhao Yi's style of acting, we will definitely abandon the Goguryeo tribe to rush to kill our department, the danger of the Goguryeo tribe is lifted, but our army and the official army can form an undying grudge. ”
"At that time, in the face of more than 100,000 officers and troops in Youzhou, our army will have no power to fight back." The military advisor smiled bitterly, "In that case, even if we rescue the Goguryeo tribe, our own tribe will be defeated by the official army." ”
"The leader misunderstood what I meant, and he humbly analyzed the composition of the Youzhou army, not to let the leader use this plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but to let the leader sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Fortunately, the military advisor no longer beat around the bush and said his thoughts in detail, "There are so many soldiers and horses in the Youzhou army, and this alliance is destined to not last. As long as Mu Bai can block the attack of Zhao Yi's official army for half a month, the official army will definitely collapse without a fight, and at that time we are sending troops to encircle and suppress the Goguryeo tribe. I'm not afraid that Mu Bai won't give in. ”
Hearing the words of this military advisor, Wei Qiutai's eyes flashed, and he praised the military advisor: "The military advisor's plan is very good, and our tribe acts like this." As he spoke, Wei Qiutai ordered him to go down and let the soldiers pay close attention to the situation in Goguryeo's headquarters, and report everything in detail.
As for the Goguryeo envoy, he was detained by Wei Qiutai, saying that it was not the time to send troops, and when the time came, the Fuyu tribe would definitely send troops.
The night passed quietly, but the lights in Zhao Yi's military tent were not extinguished all night, in the early morning, Zhao Yi pressed his head that was a little painful, and looked at the Wumengmeng wilderness, Tai Shici and several generals were very anxious, and ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and cook, and the soldiers were ready to attack. The ladder and everything have been prepared, just waiting for Zhao Yi to order the siege of the city.
Liu Bei saw Zhao Yi, who was in poor spirits, and asked with concern: "Brother Bolai hasn't slept all night?" Brother Bolai, as the pastor of Youzhou, is the soul of the entire army, and if Bolai is exhausted, it will definitely affect the morale of the soldiers. ”
Zhao Yi did not express his gratitude for Liu Bei's words of concern, but asked Liu Bei instead: "Are the soldiers ready to attack the city?" ”
"General Tai Shi Ci has already ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and cook at dawn, and now the morale of our soldiers is high, and they will definitely be able to conquer the city in one fell swoop and capture Mu Bai alive." Liu Bei was very confident in the combat strength of the Youzhou official army, especially when he learned that the soldiers of the Goguryeo tribe defending the city were in chaos, and his self-confidence was even greater.
Zhao Yi stared at the surging officers and soldiers and nodded, the siege battle is to have this kind of morale, and take advantage of this indomitable morale to capture the city. If the implication is too long and the morale of the soldiers is frustrated, then it will be difficult to break through the city again.
Just when Zhao Yi's army was resting and was about to attack, he saw a herald soldier rushing from the southwest.
The herald soldier rode his horse to Zhao Yi, bowed to Zhao Yi, and said, "Lord Zhao, there is a will of the imperial court. ”
For the imperial court instructions, Zhao Yi didn't dare to hold it up, turned over and knelt down to welcome the holy decree. The herald soldier did not read out the holy decree, but directly put the holy decree written by Emperor Han Ling into Zhao Yi's hands.
Zhao Yi took it apart and looked at it, and after just a slight glance, his face changed greatly, and he secretly said that who in the court was having trouble with him, and he actually used such a strategy. Let yourself lead other people and horses to Xiliang alone to conquer Beigong Boyu, and the court thought of it.
Zhao Yi did not ask who this soldier made this suggestion to Emperor Ling of Han, his eyes turned and pointed to the city guarded by the Goguryeo tribe in front of him, and explained: "Now our department has just besieged the 80,000 Goguryeo army in the city, if the army is withdrawn at this moment, these 80,000 soldiers will definitely be a big trouble in Youzhou in the future. As he spoke, Zhao Yi also wrote a letter about the matter, detailing the situation in Youzhou, and asked Emperor Han Ling to forgive some time.
The herald soldier stayed in the Youzhou camp for less than half an hour before leaving here. Zhao Yi stared at the direction where the herald soldier left, his eyes narrowed, his mind turned rapidly, and then he thought about how to shirk the matter of Beigong Boyu.
Zhao Yi did not let others see the letter this time, but threw it directly into the furnace, seeing that the letter in the furnace was burned to ashes, Zhao Yi showed a firm look in his eyes: "Command the soldiers, launch an attack on the city!" ”
The abnormal actions of the official army naturally did not hide the soldiers of the Goguryeo tribe who condescendingly paid attention to the official army of Youzhou, Mu Bai's eyes stared at the officers and soldiers in front of the city who were like a black wave, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously. "Everyone, be on alert!" Mu Bai greeted the soldiers guarding the city gate.
And the official army, under the leadership of Tai Shici and other generals, has launched an attack on the city!
