vs 86 Forced to be single-minded
When the news of Lingwu County's change of hands reached Tuoba Heiyun's big tent, Tuoba Heiyun was a little trembling when he got up.
Although he was not sure that Dongxia's purpose was to swallow his army of 300,000, his supplies were cut off, and the army of more than 300,000 would be in an extremely dangerous situation.
At present, there are only two choices, break the cauldron and sink the boat to defeat the high slave, enjoy the savings of the high slave, turn around and return to the master Lingwu, and open up his supply line again.
However, with these two choices, is it the intention of Dia Bird?
There was a story he had heard when he was very young.
The two children went hunting together, each took out a young wolf, and was chased by the she-wolf and could not get rid of it, so they climbed up the tree respectively, and when the wolf jumped under a tree, the other child pinched the young wolf, and when the she-wolf ran over, the original child pinched the young wolf, and finally the she-wolf ran between the two trees, exhausted to death.
Spread out the map, between Gao Nu and Lingwu for more than 100 miles, which should be the top priority?
Retreat and snatch Lingwu with all your might, and give up the high slave?
No, maybe this is Dia Bird's intention, to restrain his offensive against the high slaves.
He summoned a few advisers and confidants, and the discussion was brief, but the hesitation and weighing were long.
Until dawn, a few people still couldn't make up their minds, and they didn't dare to advocate Tuoba Heiyun, how to react, all of them turned pale, and then, they heard that the defeated army had retreated to the Chinese army, and without saying a word, they asked Tuoba Heiyun to send someone to capture the Wanhu who lost Lingwu to the Chinese army.
Tuoba Heiyun also hopes to learn more from Wanhu to understand the signs of Eastern Xia.
He put tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Lingwu City, and not far along the way, there were more than 10,000 people guarding the grain road.
20,000 people are each other's horns, and there is a strong city to rely on, how can it be too late to ask for help, and Lingwu will be lost? If so, how many people did Dia Bird use?
After daybreak, Tuoba Alcon also arrived.
At the same time, there were more than ten important generals of the Tuoba clan.
The ten thousand households who lost the city were self-aware, and they resisted the threat given by the guards of the Chinese army, and they did not come, but only sent someone to tell the scene at that time, but another general who guarded the grain road came, and in the comparative description, things gradually became clear...... The conclusion of the crowd was that they were inclined to Dia Niao just to reduce the pressure on the high slaves, and sent troops to cut off their Chen State grain route, and there were not many troops, and the war seemed to be cunning. But unlike them, Tuoba Black Cloud's uneasiness became more and more intense, because he had done his homework and learned how long the food in the army could last.
Because of the loss of Gaonu's materials, the speed of re-collection of military rations was limited, and the grain and grass delivered each time could only be used for three days for 300,000 troops.
In other words, the 300,000 army plus the remaining grain and grass of one or two halves can only last for five days.
Five days of food and grass supply, that is extremely dangerous.
He suddenly had an idea: Isn't it Dia Bird, who is so bold as to want to eat 300,000 troops?
300,000 troops, 300,000 people are not easy to eat, but no matter how many people, the more people, the lack of food and grass, and then the supply line is cut off, it will inevitably collapse. In the middle of noon, his feeling became even stronger, there were a lot of troops on the grassland in the north in the past few days, plus Tuoba Jiuxing sent people to break through the encirclement, and sent people to tell him that all the troops stationed behind Baolan in Eastern Xia were before.
He did not insist on escorting the Wanhu who had lost Lingwu to the Chinese army to punish the crime, but transferred 50,000 people from the Chinese army to join him and return to Lingwu, just giving the general who led the army a cheap power, if after the convergence, there were not many people left in the Wanhu, he would capture him and kill him.
This kind of drawbacks that originated from Chen Guoguo's system and each of his soldiers had no choice.
However, he sent 50,000 men.
50,000 men, almost except for a limited siege army, he sent all the fresh troops in his hands.
At the same time, he began the siege again.
After all, retaking Lingwu and capturing Gaonu are both breakthroughs to regain the situation, and he is unwilling to give up. In order to organize more sieges, in order to let Bo Dalu take care of it flawlessly, although he sent away the 50,000 fresh troops in his hand, he began to shrink the camp, stationed in the north to block the army of Eastern Xia, and waited until the afternoon, when the besieging army could not be rotated, he put it into the siege.
High slaves.
A large group of clan leaders began to have a falling out.
Chen Guo attacked them so that they couldn't breathe all day, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, but Bo Dalu rarely used the elite in his hands, they felt that Bo Dalu was deliberately consuming them under the instruction of Dia Bird, and they all had great opinions, including Ye Gong, who led the Mengzat people to the expedition.
Yeqinga was very calm.
The king of Dongxia, Dia Bird, was his brother-in-law, and gave him a place to live, even if he really wanted to consume everyone, he couldn't help it, but he didn't dissuade him, as for how other people made trouble, it seemed to have nothing to do with him. He went up to the wall.
I don't know if I don't go around, there are still so many Yong people in the city, there are 10,000 or 20,000 young and strong, if you add strong women, I am afraid that the number of people in the army is the same. They accepted the organization of the army, officially participated in the defense of the city, and were going up and down in waves, preparing the equipment to defend the city, and even demolishing the dwellings in one place.
When these Yongren saw him on the way, they rushed over with a few people to watch, and they would greet him: "I've seen the general." β
Sometimes, Yeqing Ah doesn't understand.
Diao sent him a family order, and the family order would be busy translating, and he would smile back with a smile.
Standing on the city wall, the Chen army below had already driven out.
This time there were more people than yesterday, densely packed, although they had not yet rushed up, they were preparing equipment. His scalp tingled for a while, he sighed, and worriedly said to the family order beside him: "If the army of the Tuoba clan continues to attack like this, I am afraid that we will all burn down with the city." The king does not have so many armies to support us...... said that the leader of Bo Dalu preserved his strength, and he had to be able to preserve it. β
They beat the slaves in front, and if they want to talk about the arrangement of the Dia birds, it is difficult to see the whole picture.
Jia Ling also looked nervous.
Several generals from the local Yong tribe were also on the city tower.
Jia Ling couldn't help but ask them, but they said, "There is an army from the imperial court in the south, and I heard that they came back to rescue us." The family order repeated the original words to Yeqing'a, but Qing'a didn't believe it, several times Dongxia fought with foreign enemies, and the court had something else to worry about, he had heard it said, so he said: "Jingkang can't believe it." β
Jia Ling was afraid that a few local generals would be angry, but the local generals had suffered the losses of the imperial court and did not have a good impression of the imperial court, so he said: "Yes." It would be nice if the imperial court was like your army in Eastern Xia. β
Because they didn't trust the Jingkang court, several people said that they were speculative. Yeqing'a had no experience in defending the city, so he asked them for advice, and a local general showed him the tools for defending the city and the use of the battlements, until a stone cannon was the first to hit the city wall, and one after another stone cannons were thrown into the air.
The air was filled with the smell of sulfur from sparks from stones.
Thankfully, there were nets all over the walls. Several rounds of dense stone cannons terrified the soldiers all over the city, and a few who were smashed into half of the cake were immediately carried down. They evacuated the people and waited for the artillery to stop and come up again. Yeqing'a followed them through a smashed stone battlement and saw that there were already siege echelons under the city carrying long lifts, from slow to hurried, charging up. When they approached, the bows of the soldiers in the city were drawn, and in an instant, arrows rained down.
For this kind of siege warfare, Yeqing A has no interest in it at all.
The two sides fought like this, and he felt aggrieved.
He made his rounds around the battlefield, thinking about where he could strike if he struck according to the mind of a nomadic general, and at some point the enemy's long ladder had already been put up on the wall. An enemy soldier climbed over the wall, killed a person hoarsely, and rushed in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, pushed away the accompanying family order, and went up with a knife, pinning it to the opponent's neck with precision...... However, more people jumped up.
Jia Ling began to be anxious, jumping up and shouting: "Go and sue General SΓΉ." Just go. The enemy is attacking. At this time, still arguing? Whoever argues is right to kill. β
Yeqing Ahuai believes that Dalu knows.
The enemy is attacking the city, how can he not know? However, he also celebrated for Bo Dalu. The real crisis never comes from the outside, the internal leaders make trouble with him, if he doesn't handle it well, he will deviate from morality, if he kills, it will cause a mutiny, but now it is all right, the enemy is fierce, the leaders have to be single-minded, this enemy, if they know to stop for a day or two, it will be a big problem.
