Chapter 325: Bad News
"Oh? The Generalissimo is trying to say......"
"Our army must seize this opportunity, not only to break through Yishui City, but more importantly, to annihilate the main force of the enemy, once the Jin State realizes the crisis, the national army will shrink the defense, and if you want to destroy the Jin State, you will have to pay several times the price!"
After hearing this, Wan Xi sighed: "The generalissimo is far-sighted, and he is ashamed of himself." ”
"At present, the two armies are in a big war, but it has nothing to do with the people, the government is scattered, the merchants have fled, and the enemy army has become a scattered sand, this commander has an excellent idea, which can accelerate the collapse of the Jin army, I don't know if it can be done."
Zhu Xi said as he spoke, but he also hid a trace of hesitation, and he was a little uncertain.
"Generalissimo, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Ten thousand joys.
"A certain plan, after capturing this Yishui City, release the news that our army will not attack Jincheng."
Don't attack Jincheng?
Wan Xi was stunned, he was still talking about attacking Jincheng just now, why did he turn his head and say that he would not attack again?
"What does the generalissimo mean?"
"Jincheng, it is necessary to be public, but it must be outwitted. After the breakthrough of Yishui City this time, the food and grass of our army can be temporarily alleviated, so it is better to spread rumors that our army will not attack Jincheng, so that the people of the world will go to Jincheng, and then cross the water in the middle of the march to block its river. ”
"Block the river!"
Wan was surprised, only to feel that a string in his heart was pulled, and suddenly the mouth stopped.
Jincheng is the first city in the world.
In the city alone, there are 200,000 households and millions of people.
Combined with its suburbs, there are millions of people, to say the least.
So many people, what to eat?
Jincheng's rice grain is definitely not self-sufficient, relying on commerce.
The main mode of transportation for commerce and trade is Cao Yun.
The two big rivers outside Jincheng are the lifeline of Jincheng.
Once a large number of people pour into Jincheng, it will definitely cause a shortage of food, coupled with the huge number of troops, the daily food consumption is a terrifying number.
If the river is blocked......
Wan Xi couldn't help but shudder.
"Generalissimo, this plan is brilliant, this is a bloodless plan!"
Zhu Xi was overjoyed and said, "The general also thinks that this plan is feasible?" ”
"Very good, if this plan doesn't work, I'm afraid there is no better way than this!" Wanxi said seriously.
Hearing this, Zhu Xi's heart finally landed.
Truth be told, he didn't come up with this plan.
It is a very classic case in the military book that Yang Mu passed on to him.
It is said that Chang'an of the Western Han Dynasty, at that time was the largest city in the whole world, encountered this problem in the rebellion of the Six Kingdoms, the whole city relied heavily on Cao Yun, with the continuous expansion of Chang'an, the population continued to increase, and then had to dig the river several times.
Including the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, it was also to facilitate the transportation of water and facilitate the imperial court to rule the whole country.
This idea came from here.
This plan has been conceived in Zhu Xi's heart for a while, but he has always been worried about its feasibility, after all, it is a major event that affects the entire world pattern, and it is not something he can decide.
I have the intention to report it to His Majesty the Emperor, but I am worried that it will be directly vetoed.
I held back my heart for a few days, and then I discussed it with Wanxi.
Wan Xi is a general of the Chu army, and his experience in the art of war is very good, and now that he has said so, what else is there to worry about?
Immediately, Zhu Xi returned to the camp, wrote down this plan, and sent someone to Leyuan City to let Yang Mu adjudicate, so that he could put down the big stone in his heart and devote himself to the big battle in front of him.
In the early morning of the second day, a beacon fire was lit in the distance.
"Attack!"
Zhu Xi gave the order to attack.
Under the rising sun, thousands of bows and crossbows are neatly arranged, and large equipment such as ladders, crash cars, trenches, and bridges are lined up in the middle of the siege phalanx, and the formation is extraordinarily magnificent.
The drums of war were beating, and the army was attacking like a tsunami.
Almost at the same time, thousands of arrows were fired under the city, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and one by one the phalanxes pushed the catapults to rumble forward, and the huge stone projectiles smashed into the walls of Yishui City like meteorites.
"Boom—"
The Yishui city wall collapsed to a corner.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
There was a loud bang one after another, and after most of the stone bullets had been consumed, a gap was finally opened.
At this point, the stone bullet stopped.
Finally, without worrying about being accidentally injured by stone bullets, the coalition forces swarmed up and began to cross the moat.
Due to the collapse of the city wall, the pressure on the soldiers who climbed the city wall on both sides was greatly reduced, and in less than a while, the Jin army, which had already been frightened, began to retreat.
In half an hour, thousands of soldiers swept up the majestic city wall like a flood.
In less than two hours, Yishui City was overwhelmed by a large army, and the coalition army roared in!
But at this time, a cloud car rumbled into the city, Zhu Xi wore a handsome robe, and said loudly: "Jin army soldiers, I am Zhu Xi, the generalissimo of Cangguo, you can surrender but you are allowed to return to your hometown, if you insist on a battle, you will expose the corpse of this city!" ”
The war was raging, and this sound also attracted the attention of some people, but not many people surrendered.
Zhu Xi was stunned, the soldiers of the great country really looked like the soldiers of the great country, these Jin troops were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, but with just one breath, no one surrendered.
And so, the massacre began.
The crossbow chariots took the lead, and the soldiers advanced in an orderly manner, like catching turtles in an urn, and defeated the small resisting Jin troops in the city one by one.
Finally, some people retreated to the north gate of the city.
However, what awaits them is the Qilin Legion rushing in!
This is the real king of slaughter!
The streets were stained red with blood, and the entire city of Yishui was like a hell on earth, full of corpses and bones.
"Quick! Go and take over the Izukura! ”
Zhu Xi has not forgotten the granary of life of the coalition army.
"Report to the Generalissimo, there is not much food left in the Yishui warehouse!" A thousand-person general ran over, panting and reported: "After our army captured the granary, we found that the grain and grass in it were gone, and the grain officer said that the million Jin troops nearby were eating all the grain from the Yishui warehouse!" ”
Zhu Xi was taken aback: "How many more?" ”
"According to the account books, it is less than 1.5 million stones."
"Less than 1.5 million stone ......," Zhu Xi muttered, only to feel a cold sweat on his back.
This is far from what I expected, almost more than half!
Originally, it was expected that there should be 3 million stones, which would be enough to eat for at least a year.
Now, it's only enough to eat for more than two months.
Even with the grain transported from the rear, it could only last for three months.
Three months seems like a long time, but for the coalition forces that are interested in attacking Jincheng, it seems too stretched.
Perhaps, this is more about implementing your own set of plans!
Zhu Xi thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time ordered: "Pass the order, immediately search for the grain and grass of the big families in the city, and at the same time send a message to the army of Yunguo, the White Tiger Legion and the Qilin Legion, once you find the big families who are migrating, all of them will be detained, and they will be forced to ask where the granary is, and exchange food for life!" ”
"Yes!"
"By the way, take this handsome seal letter, I want to write a letter to Your Majesty."
"Yes!"
"Also, the herald ordered the army to rest for a while, and march out of camp early tomorrow morning, and the casualties of the soldiers will be placed in the city to recuperate."
"Yes!"
……
In the evening of the same day, the army entered Yishui City, and the main generals of the three countries discussed in the hall of the official palace.
The main thing was agreed on one thing - tomorrow morning, attack immediately! ()
