Chapter 681: To Each His Own Calculation (2)

Almost at a similar time period, Zhao Hongrun secretly regretted that he should not have used that trick far beyond the wisdom of this era to destroy the city wall of Su County, so that he was found in trouble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the side of the Qi Army, in the tent of Tian Tan, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, the general of the Lang Evil Army, Dongguo Yue, the general of the Northern Navy, Zhong Sunsheng, the deputy general of the Donglai Army, and the rest of the generals were all sitting quietly in the tent at the moment, silent.

Don't look at the number of people in the tent, but no one spoke, so that the atmosphere in the tent was extremely solemn.

And the reason for all this is that Ji Run, the commander of the Wei army on the Western Road, used a strange trick that they still can't understand to successfully destroy the city wall of Suxian.

And those generals of the Qi army who were still laughing at the Wei army and Zhao Hongrun before were even more red at the moment, and their faces were full of shame and wanted to die.

Looking at the expressions of these people, it can only be said that it is fortunate that Zhao Hongrun is not here at the moment, otherwise, these generals will probably be so ashamed that they will draw their swords and kill themselves.

"Hoo ......"

A breath sounded in the silent tent.

Everyone in the tent turned their heads to look, only to find that it was Tian Tan, the commander of their Eastern Route Army, who made this noise.

"Tian Shuai ......"

Zhong Sun Sheng, the general of the Northern Navy, looked at Tian Tan with expectant and earnest eyes, opened his mouth several times, and stopped talking.

Probably guessing Zhong Sun Sheng's thoughts, Tian Tan shook his head and said with a heavy heart: "Tian has been thinking hard for nearly an hour, but he still can't figure out how Ji Run can destroy the city wall of Suxian County to that point. ”

After saying this, Tian Tan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Wei Gongzi Run...... No, it should be the King of Su of Wei, and he is really a vain man under the fame! …… This son, it's really not easy!

Tilting his neck to adjust his sitting posture, Tian Tan secretly sighed.

I remember that Tian Tan also inadvertently despised Zhao Hongrun, because in his opinion, Zhao Hongrun was only sixteen years old, and he was born in the court of Wei, and he was the son of Wei, and he was pampered since he was a child, so how could he become a commander who was good at fighting?

If there really is such an absurd thing in the world, wouldn't everyone be able to be a general?

However, what he saw and heard today made Tian Tan finally believe the words of Ji Zhao, the current left minister of Qi State: My brother Hongrun, he is ten times more than me!

Ji Zhao, that is, Zhao Hongrun's sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao, because he has lived in Qi for more than a year, and under the mediation of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, he has more contact with Tian Tan, Tian Yan and other domestic important ministers who support the Lu family of the Qi royal family, so Tian Tan naturally understood the talent of the new Zuo Xiang.

For Ji Zhao, Tian Tan only has an eight-word evaluation: Tianzhong genius, there is no other in the world!

Therefore, when Ji Zhao said with a smile that he praised his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun, Tian Tan didn't think so at all.

Because in Tian Tan's view, Ji Zhaonai is a rare genius for decades, Wen Tao, political strategy, law and discipline, everything is incomprehensible, and he can also play very beautiful swordsmanship with one hand, although the lethality is not worth mentioning.

It seems that there is such a genius, it is not enough for Wei to have one, there is actually another one?!

Tian Tan never believed that God was so partial to the Wei State.

But it turns out that he was wrong, and God's favoritism towards Wei is definitely to the point of being unreasonable.

Think about their Qi country, since the king of Qi Lu Xi ascended the throne as the king, the state of Qi controlled Korea in the north, conquered the state of Chu in the south, and dominated the Central Plains, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no king in the world who can surpass the king of Qi Lu Xi.

But such a wise king not only did not live long himself, but also gave birth to several sons, none of whom became successful.

On the other hand, the Wei State only migrated from the distant Longxi, and it took hundreds of years of work to gain a foothold in the Central Plains and become a small foreign country in the Central Plains.

Especially the fourth son Ji Zhao and the eighth son Ji Run, they are simply demons!

Previously, although Tian Tan had lost to Ji Zhao in the literary competition, he did not have any frustration at that time, after all, his main position was to be a general, followed by the secretary of Qi State.

But today, Tian Tan was gloomy to find that he had once again lost to the people of the Zhao clan of Wei Guoji, and it was also in the battle that he was best at.

He was unwilling, but he had nothing to do, because he had been thinking about it for almost an hour, and he still hadn't figured out how Zhao Hongrun had made a big hole in the northern city wall of Su County.

Is it really by fire?

As soon as this idea surfaced in Tian Tan's heart, he vetoed it without hesitation.

Fire, how can it burn rocks? This is something that everyone knows!

I have to say that the competition between Tian Tan and Zhao Hongrun lost at the starting line and the limitations of this era.

If it were Zhao Hongrun, he would think: fire can actually burn rocks. Note: The "fire" here is actually more accurately described as high temperature.

However, it is no wonder that Tian Tan can't understand the mystery, after all, fire can't burn rocks, which is the consensus of the world in this era.

So much so that when the Wei army piled up a large amount of firewood on the north wall of Suxian County, as if trying to burn down the city wall, it was not only the generals of the Qi army who laughed at the "stupid move" of the Wei army, but also the soldiers of the Chu State on the wall of Suxian County at that time.

But now?

It was too late for those Su County Chu troops to cry, because the city wall destroyed by the Wei army was enough to make the entire Su County fall.

If it weren't for the heavy rain that day, which was not conducive to fighting and killing, perhaps as long as the Wei army launched a general offensive at that time, the Chu army in Suxian County, which had just suffered a major blow to the soul, would have really lost the battle.

However, the current situation is not bad: although the Wei army has withdrawn its troops, the Chu army has no way to properly repair the big hole they made in the city wall of Suxian, in other words, the Wei army can attack Suxian at any time.

Thinking of this, Tian Tan couldn't help but sigh again.

Su County is not easy to fight, and Wu Yuan, the Chu general who guards Su County, is not a soft persimmon, so he Tian Tan chose to use the most stupid method: to create a flaw on the city wall of Su County as a shelter.

In his mind, as long as the city wall of Suxian County collapsed, it would not only deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Chu army in the city, but also help the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army break through the current stalemate.

Therefore, he not only used all the catapults supervised by the craftsmen of the Lu country, but also asked his subordinates to work day and night, and finally put together hundreds of catapults.

Heaven is pitiful, under the indiscriminate bombardment of hundreds of catapults of their Qi army, the fortress-level city wall of Suxian County finally collapsed slightly.

But at that time, Tian Tan did not take the opportunity to attack, because he knew very well that if he only attacked one part, even if the other party had a flaw, it would be difficult to succeed.

Therefore, that day, he hoped that Zhao Hongrun could see his plan and create a flaw in the other three city walls in Su County.

Facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun's vision is still good, and he immediately understood his intentions and successfully opened up the situation in the north city wall of Suxian County.

But here's the problem: the Qi army used hundreds of catapults and consumed countless polished stone bullets, which finally created a gap of about twenty or thirty zhang in the southern city wall of Suxian County; However, the Wei army on the western road destroyed almost half of the wall of the northern city wall with the incredible tricks of the commander Ji Run.

Comparing the two, the judgment is made at a high level.

What's even worse is that when the Qi army was proud of the "progress", there were stone bullets that the Qi army used to smash the city wall before, and these things have now become an obstacle for the Qi army to attack Suxian.

The section of the wall destroyed by the Wei army in the north city wall of Suxian County, in addition to the rocks that built the wall, could only be a layer of ashes left after countless firewood was burned, which ensured the smooth flow of the offensive route to the greatest extent.

Which is higher?

It's no wonder that Tian Tan is no longer proud, and the generals of the Qi army in the tent are also drooping their heads one by one.

Because they lost completely.

And what makes them feel most embarrassed is that they still can't figure out how they lost.

I don't know how long it took, maybe Tian Tan saw that the morale of the generals in the tent was low, so he restrained his thoughts and said, "Okay, everyone." …… Although, well, in short, the Wei army, as I estimated, also succeeded in destroying the northern city wall of Suxian, so that there were two flaws in Suxian, one north and one south, and conquering this city was just around the corner! ”

After that, he paused, and said the tactics he had been planning for many days: "If it is against ordinary Chu generals, one move is enough to attack the east and west!" But that Wu Yuan is not an ordinary general, therefore, our army must do the opposite! …… Tomorrow daylight, our army will still launch an offensive in the southern suburbs of Suxian. The southern city wall of Su County has a relatively ...... gap in the collapse It is relatively narrow, and it may be that the Chu army will rush to repair day and night, so tomorrow and day, the main purpose of the attacking vanguard army will be to clear the road to the army, and remove obstacles for our army's night attack on Su County at night. ”

The generals were silent, probably not recovering from the huge blow.

Seeing this, Tian Tan, who had no one to help, had no choice but to speak again and continue to talk about tactics: "During the night attack, our army first launched a feint attack on the south city wall of Suxian County, then Wu Yuan is not a fool, seeing that our army chose the south city wall with a small gap, instead of choosing the large collapsed north city wall, it is bound to wonder if this is our army's voice to attack the west, so the heavy troops in the city are deployed in the north city. …… We just want to take advantage of his suspicion, and do the opposite, and after the feint army attacking the northern city wall is resisted by the Chu army, our army will immediately storm the southern city wall! ”

The generals in the "......" tent were silent.

It is true that Tian Tan's tactics are very well arranged, and even take into account the psychology of Chu general Wu Yuan, so the chance of capturing Su County by night attack should be said to be very high.

However, the generals of the Zhuqi army in the tent were not happy at all.

Because no matter how vaguely Tian Tan said it, he couldn't hide the flaws that their Qi army on the east road "borrowed" from the Wei army on the west road in the north city wall of Su County, and to put it bluntly, if Tian Tan's move against the east and west could succeed, it was also the defender of Su County, Wu Yuan, instinctively thought that the flaws in the north city wall were a greater threat to them.

In other words, it is the credit of the Wei army, or the credit of Ji Run, the prince of the Wei State.

And what their Qi army did was nothing more than icing on the cake, plus stealing the results of the Wei army on the Western Road.

What's there to be happy about here?

Even, for the arrogant generals of the Qi State, this is simply a shame!

Seeing this, Tian Tan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Is honor important, or is victory important?" In the army, forget the identity of you and other nobles, and wait for the moment, you are the general of my great Qi! …… In order to win, do whatever it takes! ”

After a pause, Tian Tan said again: "Or would you rather give up the opportunity to save some face, and give the credit to the Wei army, so that the latter will laugh at the incompetence of our army in turn?" ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the generals in the tent finally flashed with a little anger and fighting spirit. (To be continued.) )
