Chapter 176: Yuwen Chengdu's Thunder Method
Looking at the distance where Hu Si Wanshan was leading the Sui soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Yang Guang asked, "Gongren, this is the first camp to be breached these days?" ”
"The seventh!" Yang Gongren replied.
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Soon, how many camps has the Wei army built on this road?" ”
Yang Shidao, the youngest son of Guan Wang Yang Xiong and Yang Gongren's full brother, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general has already led the sentinels to count carefully, and the enemy army has built a total of forty-nine camps on this road, and these camps are more than 10,000 people, and as few as 1,000 people, densely distributed in all the key crossings of our army!" ”
Yang Guang was shocked and asked, "So much?" What kind of reputation is this Xu Shiji, can you find out how Xu Shiji's injury is? ”
Yang Shidao shook his head and said: "Although the last general looks at the distribution of these camps, every time we attack, the camps of the Wei army never support each other, and every time the stockade is breached, the Wei army will scatter and flee into the surrounding camps. As for Xu Shiji's injury, the last general had specially grabbed more than a dozen tongues, but the result of the interrogation was unknown. ”
At this moment, listening to the sound of a war horse galloping from far and near, a young man dressed as a Wei army, but holding high the token of the brocade guard, Pegasus, came to Yang Guang, turned over and bowed down: "Little Wang Xuance, meet the saint!" ”
Yang Guangxu raised his right hand and said, "Flatten!" You are Wang Xuance!? ”
Wang Xuance raised his angular face, stood up straight, and responded energetically: "Exactly!" The order of the little Fengwen commander, after the victory of the battle of forcibly crossing the Yongji Canal, pretended to be the defeated soldiers of the Wei army, and infiltrated the Wei army to spy on intelligence, and now he has succeeded! ”
"You've already seen Wen Yidao, right?" Yang Guang asked.
"Yes, the little one met with Commander Wen first, and he explained to me the tasks for the next stage, and then asked me to come here to make a report to the Holy Lord!" Wang Xuance replied.
Yang Guang nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, tell me about your harvest!" ”
Wang Xuan Ceyu reported: "The small one has been found out, the commander of the Wei army, Xu Shiji, was seriously injured and in a coma, and has returned to Liyang City for treatment, and now he is replaced by his deputy general Zhang Liang and Wei army general Guo Xiaoke!" ”
"Oh? Is this true? Yang Guang confirmed.
"Can't be wrong, this is the news that Xiao Xiao touched into Guo Xiaoke's tent and heard it with his own ears!" Wang Xuance affirmed.
Yang Guang said happily: "Okay! Because you have just been promoted, you have made great contributions this time, and I will temporarily record it in the credit book, and when you succeed next time, I will give you a knighthood! ”
Wang Xuance hugged his fists and said: "Then thank you for the saint!" ”
Yang Guang looked at Wang Xuance with expectant eyes, and said, "Well, go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news!" ”
After Wang Xuance saluted and retreated, Yang Guang asked Yang Gongren: "At this rate, how long will it take for our army to bulldoze all the camps on this road?" ”
Yang Gongren thought about it carefully and replied: "These enemy villages are extremely distributed, our army is not good at attacking in formation, and can only fight two or three enemy villages at a time. ”
Hearing this, Yang Guang frowned and said, "It's a little slow, Xu Shiji made so many camps just to disgust us and delay our march, and our army doesn't have much food and herbs, so we need to collect it from all over the place, and this is not the most critical." The most important thing is that it will take more than a month, and I am afraid that the situation in the world will change, can there be a way to speed up the attack? ”
Yang Gongren thought for a while and said, "If you use a roundabout outflanking attack and a strong attack day and night without casualties, you may be able to speed up the progress by ten to twenty days!" In other words, if we have any way to kill its main generals Zhang Liang and Guo Xiaoke, the situation will have a big breakthrough! ”
Hearing this, Yang Guang's frowning brows deepened, and at this moment, a hearty voice on the side shouted into his ears, saying: "Why bother, if you use my method, I guarantee that within half a month, all these Wei military camps will be destroyed!" ”
Everyone heard it, and it was Yuwen Cheng!
Seeing that it was Yuwen Chengdu who spoke, Yang Guang suddenly became interested and asked, "Chengdu, tell me what you think!" ”
Yuwen Chengdu hugged his fists and said: "Saint, most of these thieves are just refugees, because they can't eat, so they joined Xu Shiji's troops, and they are fighting for food." Now, their commander Xu Shiji is unconscious, the thief army has experienced a big defeat and the people are panicking, at this time, if we take thunderous measures, the thief army will be frightened, its morale will collapse, and our army can win without a fight! ”
Yang Guang's heart was bright, and he asked knowingly: "Chengdu, what are the thunder methods you are talking about?" ”
The corners of Yuwen Chengdu's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "Besiege the enemy army with six to ten times the strength of the village, take a resolute attitude of exterminating the stubborn enemy army, and slaughter the village by village!" In this way, it will not be long before the thief army will be frightened, and its military spirit will be intimidated by the thunderous means of our army, so that they will surrender without a fight! ”
Yang Shidao asked in surprise: "After breaking through the enemy village, will you also have to kill the captured enemy army?" ”
Yuwen Chengdu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said: "Our army began to give them the opportunity to surrender, but if they don't cherish it, then only death awaits them!" When the camp of the thief army is slaughtered by our army one after another, our army can make the heads of the thief army into a Jingguan, and the morale of these thief troops who fight for food will surely collapse! ”
Seeing that Yang Guang was a little moved, Xu Shanxin, a sixty-one-year-old waiter of the Ministry of Rites on the side, persuaded him: "Holy Lord, is it too cruel to do this?" Since ancient times, it is ominous to kill prisoners! ”
Hearing this, Yuwen Chengdu said proudly: "What's cruel? Since you are a warrior, you must be prepared to be killed, war is never a place of mercy! And the ominous killing of prisoners also depends on the situation, now the thief army has just experienced a big defeat, the commander is injured and unconscious, our thunder means can just break their determination to resist, so as to avoid the attack of one village after another, and retain the seeds of war of our army! ”
Xu Shanxin shook his head and persuaded: "Holy Lord, the minister does not agree with Yuwen Chengdu's opinion, although this move may be successful, but it will hurt the peace of heaven, my Northern Expedition Wang Shi is a righteous teacher, how can it be against the principles of heaven?" ”
Yuwen Chengdu was afraid that Yang Guang would not agree, so he hurriedly knelt down and asked: "It's not that we don't give them a chance to surrender, it's that they don't open the door to surrender, let's just wait for a strong attack." In this way, although there will inevitably be some killings, but in terms of the overall situation, more unnecessary casualties will be avoided! Holy! ”
