"You must know that we have robbed all the grain and grass they have looted in the past few months, and they have brought out all the grain stored in their grassland this expedition, and if they return to the grassland like this, they will only starve to death.
So they had only one way, to attack the capital. They are also forced by the situation, and this is a war to the death. There is no third way. ”
The hearts of the two admirals Zhang and Li also sank, and Luo Xin glanced around and said:
"I told you before that when the Prairie Coalition attacked a city, they would use rockets. Are you ready to set fire? Are fire prevention equipment and specially organized fire prevention teams on standby? ”
"Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready."
"That's good!" Luo Xin nodded, his face was gloomy, and said: "Admiral Zhang, you once participated in the war of Alatan Khan attacking the capital, did there appear in that war when the grassland alliance forced the people of the Ming Dynasty to climb the city?" ”
Admiral Zhang's face changed, and his lips trembled and said, "Yes!" The steppe Tartars drove out the people of the Ming Dynasty and attacked the city with a ladder, and they were sandwiched between the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"That'...... How do you cope? ”
"We ......" Admiral Zhang's face turned pale: "We...... In order to protect the capital, the only way to do this is to be ruthless and kill the people of the Ming Dynasty......"
Luo Xin closed his eyes in pain, and the two admirals Zhang and Li were also full of pain at this time. There was silence above the walls. Half-ringing, Luo Xinchang sighed and said:
"This is the sorrow of being broken into by the Prairie Coalition Army, if Datong is not lost, there will be no such thing. But ......" Luo Xin's brows furrowed even tighter:
"This is not what I am most worried about, what I am most worried about is that the grassland will not be able to attack the capital for a long time, and the grain and grass will run out. Not only will they not retreat to the grassland, but they will bypass the capital, go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and attack other state capitals, in that case, the Ming Dynasty will be eroded. At that time, the situation will make us very difficult, and if we do not send troops, we will watch the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty fall into the flames of war, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will be plundered and burned by the grassland. If they send troops, they will hardly be the opponents of the steppe cavalry in the field. ”
"Won't it?" The two admirals, Zhang and Li, were shocked.
Luo Xin shook his head and said: "This situation is very likely to happen, the grassland coalition army has no way to retreat, their grain and grass have been snatched back by us, if we don't grab some back, they will starve to death." Therefore, if they can't attack the capital, they will definitely make a detour and enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Xin looked at the two people with solemn eyes: "Do you think the combat strength of the Ming army is worthy of a battle?" ”
There was a trace of despair in the eyes of the two admirals Zhang and Li, which was an unsolvable problem for them, and they couldn't help muttering to themselves:
"How's that okay?"
Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "When the time comes, the grassland coalition army will make a detour, and if Your Majesty orders us to hold on, Your Majesty will be infamous." If we are ordered to send troops, on the plain, with the combat strength of our Ming army and hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry head-on, the end of the whole army is almost doomed, so that most of the defenders of the capital die, and the grassland coalition army turns back to attack the capital, can the capital still stand it? ”
"Your Excellency!" Admiral Zhang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said bitterly, "Do you have a good plan?" ”
Luo Xin said with a solemn face: "It's difficult, it's almost an unsolvable situation." ”
Seeing that the faces of the two admirals Zhang and Li weighed, Luo Xin's face softened slightly and said, "What we are discussing today must not be passed on. ”
"Yes, my lord, the last general understands."
"You two should also put more thought into it, and we will brainstorm and see if we can come up with a relatively safe solution."
"Yes, sir!"
The three of them stopped talking, and the hearts of the two admirals Zhang and Li no longer had the joy of winning a big victory. While thinking of a way, he looked out of the city, hoping that this battle would defeat all the grassland coalition forces, so there was no need to worry about it.
Time passed in silence, and after more than an hour, tens of thousands of defenders of the capital had cleaned up the battlefield and retreated to the city. After about half an hour, I heard the rumbling of horses' hooves. Immediately afterwards, I saw a cavalry rushing towards the direction of the capital like a torrent of steel, and the banner of the Shenshu camp was waving in the wind.
"Admiral Yu, they're back."
Admiral Zhang raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed envy, he knew that the Shenshu Camp had made a great contribution this time.
"Let's go, let's go down to meet the triumphant soldiers!"
Luo Xin led everyone towards the city gate, and soon after coming to the city gate, he saw Admiral Yu leading the cavalry of the Shenshu battalion to gallop forward, enter the city gate, and was about fifty meters away from Luo Xin, so he reined in the war horse, jumped off the horse, strode to Luo Xin, and said excitedly:
"My lord, my Shenshu battalion has destroyed more than 30,000 enemies, and the casualties of the Shenshu battalion are only one hundred and twenty-eight."
Luo Xin nodded, in the panic of the grassland coalition army, it is normal to have such a result, I am afraid that most of the one hundred and twenty-eight people who were killed and injured were not killed by the grassland coalition army, but were hit by a group of startled horses.
"Are there any captives?"
"Nope!" Admiral Yu's tone was murderous.
Luo Xin understood as soon as he heard it, the Shenshu Camp had never thought that there were prisoners at all, and all the herb people they encountered were killed by them.
"Admiral Yu!"
A majestic voice sounded, Luo Xin turned his head to look, and saw Xu Jie leading a group of civil officials over, their faces still pale at this time. Xu Jie had already seen that Luo Xin had won the victory, and the 170,000 troops besieging outside the city were defeated like a mountain, completely defeated, and in his heart he thought that the siege of the capital had been completely broken, and a hanging heart was put down. At the same time, he also saw that Luo Xin's prestige had been raised to a point that he was very afraid of.
It can't be like this!
Luo Xin must be suppressed, or his relationship with the three battalions must be destroyed. Therefore, Xu Jie decisively walked out and shouted:
"This official doesn't believe that there will be no surrender when the grassland coalition army is chased and killed by you at the moment of hasty escape, but you say that there is no prisoner, but you killed all the prisoners?
Do you know that killing prisoners is ominous? ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Luo Xin, and said with a righteous face:
"No, although Admiral Yu has merit, but the killing of prisoners is too great, as a privy undertaker, you must have clear rewards and punishments."
When the words fell, he stared at Luo Xin with burning eyes.
If Luo Xin punishes the Divine Pivot Battalion, it will cause a rift between Luo Xin and the Divine Pivot Battalion. When the time comes, he will be able to make Luo Xin completely lose his prestige in the three major battalions.
