Chapter 364: Success or Failure in This Battle
Yuan Shu spat Xingzi, and scolded for a full stick of incense, until he was exhausted and couldn't even breathe.
"What should I do, what should I do, Fengtai City is lost, what should I do......"
After venting, Yuan Shu realized the seriousness of the situation, felt a deep chill, and began to babble incoherently.
Only then did Ji Ling dare to exhale lightly, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, don't panic, although we have lost Fengtai City, we can barely scrape together more than 10,000 horses, and the minister is willing to lead the army to defend Shouchun for Your Majesty." ”
"Stick to Shouchun? Can it be kept? Yuan Shu's voice was hoarse, as if he had almost lost confidence.
Ji Ling Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, my Shouchun is a strong city in the world, and it is by no means easy to break, not to mention that Liu Bei and Sun Ce are two thieves, and they will never sit idly by and watch Huainan be swallowed by Su Zhe, and when the time comes, the two thieves will lead the army to kill Shouchun City, and the three thieves will definitely eat dogs and fight each other, and then we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and take advantage of the fisherman." ”
Ji Ling's words made Yuan Shu see a glimmer of hope in despair, so he cheered up, gritted his teeth and said: "What you said is right, that Su thief wants to swallow me Huainan, I am not as good as he wants, I just want to defend it to the death, let the three lowly dog thieves kill each other!" ”
At that moment, Yuan Shu made up his mind and handed over all the remaining soldiers and horses in the city to Ji Ling, putting on a posture of stubborn defense.
A few days later, Su Zhe led tens of thousands of troops and arrived at Shouchun City.
After the camp was completed, Su Zhe decisively ordered to set up camp on all sides, and surrounded the entire Shouchun City like an iron bucket, not even a single fly was released.
Of course, Su Zhe knew that Shouchun was a strong city, and he would not order the siege of the city at the first time, but first launched a strong public opinion offensive against Shounai.
A few days later, tens of thousands of "begging for Yuan Yuanwen" were shot into Shouchun City, ensuring that the soldiers and civilians in the city had a copy.
This essay on Yuan Wei, written by Pang Tong, bitterly criticized Yuan Shu for a series of heinous crimes including usurping the country and claiming the emperor, great rebellion, cruelty to the people, and fish and flesh people.
At the end of the text, Su Zhe called on the Huainan soldiers and civilians to succumb to Yuan Shu's obscenity again, and to resist and help him break through Shouchun and kill Yuan Shu.
After the text was shot into the city, the hearts of the people in Shouchun City were soon boiling.
Yuan Shu's brutal rule has long planted the seeds of hatred and resistance in the hearts of Shouchun people, but they are afraid of Yuan Shu's strength, and everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.
Now that Yuan Shu has reached the end of the road, Su Zhe led the king to besiege the city, and as soon as this text came out, the soldiers and civilians of a city could not be moved.
Soon, the defection began.
From the first dozen people, to the hundreds, and then to the thousands, countless people came out of the city, turned their backs on Yuan Shu, and fled to Su Zhe's arms.
Before, the people fled, and then the soldiers also began to flee, and in less than ten days, nearly 4,000 Huainan troops fled.
Yuan Shu was both angry and helpless about this.
He has strictly ordered Ji Ling to strengthen his vigilance to prevent the soldiers and civilians from escaping, and once caught, they will all be beheaded on the spot.
It's a pity that even this bloody repressive method is difficult to suppress the desperation of the Shouchun army and people to resist Yuan Shu, and the escape is not only not suppressed, but intensified.
……
West of Shouchun City, the camp of the Soviet army.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Su Zhe gathered all the civil and military forces, and was already discussing the strategy of attacking the city.
The veteran Huangfu Song said with a confident face: "The general's inscription has broken the enemy's will, not to mention the people, the number of enemy soldiers who fled alone has reached half of the defenders, and now it is time to give Yuan Shu a fatal blow." ”
Su Zhe nodded slightly, and asked again, "Where did Sun Ce and Liu Bei go?" ”
Hu Che'er hurriedly said: "My lord, according to my detailed report, Liu Bei has captured Yixu, and is advancing westward along the Huaishui River, and the Yuan Shu troops along the way will surrender without a fight, at most ten days, Liu Bei will be able to kill Shouchun City." ”
After a pause, Hu Che'er continued: "As for Sun Ce, I heard that he has captured Hefei City, if he continues to send troops north now, he will be able to kill Shouchun City in ten days at most." ”
Su Zhe sneered: "It seems that I have benefited Liu Bei and Sun Ce a lot from Yuan Shu, the two of them are not greedy enough, and they want to swallow even Shouchun City." ”
Pang Tong, who has not done anything, said: "Once Liu Bei and Sun Ce lead the army to Shouchun, and our army fails to capture Shouchun, it will inevitably fall into an unfavorable situation, I think that we can't wait any longer, we must do our best to take Shouchun City as quickly as possible." ”
Su Zhe took a deep breath and slowly stood up, and the murderous aura in his body burst into flames.
The generals stood solemnly, and their eyes were full of excitement.
Su Zhe glanced at the generals and said sharply: "Yuan Shu has betrayed his relatives and left, to the point of the end of the road, I have made up my mind, and I have done my best to kill the whole army, I want to break through Shouchun and destroy Yuan Shu in one go!" ”
Su Zhe's order was handed down, and when the big tent was neutral, the blood boiled, and the fighting spirit of the generals was instantly ignited.
"Take Shouchun and break Yuan Shu's corpse into ten thousand pieces!" Xu Chu raised his arms and roared, his hometown was poisoned by Yuan Shu, and he couldn't wait to slash Yuan Shu.
All the generals raised their arms in response, and the sound of killing filled the entire tent.
After some encouragement, the generals dispersed and carried out the final mobilization before the war for the soldiers under their command.
Su Zhe ordered all the cattle and sheep in the camp to be slaughtered, and the soldiers were fed with good wine and meat to boost their physical strength and spirit.
All the soldiers had a full meal, their mental and physical strength was extremely abundant, and their fighting spirit had exploded to the extreme.
Su Zhe gave an order, the doors of each camp were opened, and thousands of soldiers left the camp in an orderly manner and began to assemble towards the west of Shouchun City.
Su Zhe was caught in the flow of soldiers, sat on a big horse on his hips, and slowly approached the enemy city.
Before noon, 30,000 Soviet troops gathered in the west of Shouchun City, lined up in formation, and the battle flag blocked the sky, and the military situation changed the color of the heavens and the earth.
The big banner with the word "Su" is flying dazzlingly.
The fighting spirit of the thousands of Soviet soldiers under the battle flag was boiling and burning, and they were all gearing up and eager to fight.
Shouchun City.
Yuan Shu, who learned that the Soviet army was about to attack, had to pull out of the gentle countryside of Qunmei at this moment, and dragged his fat body to Shouchun City.
When he climbed up to the top of the city out of breath and saw the tide of Soviet soldiers outside the city, his body couldn't help but be shocked, and his face suddenly swelled with deep fear.
Beside him, Ji Ling stood proudly with a spear, his brows were deep, and although his face was heavy, he couldn't see half of the fear.
"Is the last moment coming......" Ji Ling secretly took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
He looked at the black oppressive Soviet army outside the city, looked at the Soviet army battle flag that was showing off his might, and knew that this would be Su Zhe's all-out blow to Shouchun City.
In today's battle, if they can block Su Zhe's onslaught, they will still have a chance to live.
If you can't stop it......
A chill swept up on Ji Ling's back, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Yuan Shu said in a trembling voice: "Ji Qing, it seems that the Su thief is planning to launch a fierce attack, can you be confident that you can stop it?" ”
Ji Ling was silent for a moment, took a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "The minister can only do his best to fight to the death for His Majesty, as for whether he can hold it, it can only depend on whether His Majesty is the Lord of Destiny and whether he has this luck." ”
