Chapter 119: A Tired Soldier's Plan
"Sun Qushuai's plan is very good, if there is no objection? According to Sun Qushuai's words. When the officers and soldiers attacked the city, I personally went into battle to boost the morale of the righteous soldiers. The Yellow Heaven will bless us, and victory belongs to us. Zhao Hong completely made a decision on Sun Xia's strategy.
Han Zhong looked at Sun Xia and gritted his teeth.
Resigned? What else to rebel for? Han Zhong only believes that things are done by people!
At the back of this lobby, Gao Jun is here as a small leader.
He looked left and right, and his heart was very worried, until now, he was not sure whether he was going to risk his life to attack the city gates, and to join the officers and soldiers outside.
He must be divine, looked at Zhao Hong on the main seat, and then thought about the former Zhang Mancheng, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
In Gao Jun's heart, Liu Fan is not a human, he is a god. Even Zhang Mancheng's death in battle could be predicted. With Liu Fan here, the yellow scarf will have no chance of winning.
In the military camp opposite Wancheng, Han officers and soldiers were discussing the tactics of attacking Wancheng in the camp.
Huangfu Song sat on the main seat, and Xu Huang sat at the end.
Although the positions of Huangfu Song and Zhu Xuan's Zhonglang generals are not as big as those of Qin Jie and Xu Xuan, they both have festivals, and in the dispatch of the army, Xu Xuan and Qin Jie have to listen to them.
Once Liu Fan was the captain of the forbidden army personally sealed by the Son of Heaven, Huangfu Song dared to draw a sword against Liu Fan with a military general of the same rank, and wanted to capture Liu Fan, just because of the festival.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Yun are both important ministers who have served as two thousand stone guards, and it is impossible for the imperial court to let them become Zhonglang generals, and their official positions will be lowered by a notch.
"What are your plans?"
Huangfu Song looked at everyone present, and when his eyes fell on Xu Huang, he paused for a moment, seeing that Xu Huang's face did not change, and the old god knelt in his position, motionless, Huangfu Song snorted coldly in his heart. When he saw Xu Huang, he thought of Liu Fan, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
"We thought that the Yellow Turban thieves would raid our army when our army was entrenched, but we didn't expect the Yellow Turban to be cunning and not be fooled." Nanyang County Magistrate Qin Jie said regretfully.
Two thousand cavalry were ambushed two miles away from Wancheng, and each gate was camped in the open and guarded in the dark. You can always hold a spear and bow to meet the enemy.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei are good generals in this era, and their carelessness in the eyes of the enemy is not really taken lightly.
Zhao Hong fortunately did not follow Han Zhong's advice, otherwise as soon as the two armies clashed, the weak side would lose for a while, and the weak side would definitely collapse.
"I think that there are more than 100,000 people in the Yellow Turbans, and even if there is more food, they can't withstand consumption, so they are trapped in the four gates, and they do not take the initiative to fight, and when the Yellow Turbans run out of food, it is the time to beg to surrender to our army. At that time, our army will be able to take Wancheng without blood. At this time, Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, expounded his opinion.
Xu Xuan's words made Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei frown slightly, if it was before, they would not hesitate to refute Xu Xuan's opinion.
Advantageous is a thief, no profit surrenders, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? But now His Majesty has issued an order prohibiting the massacre of the surrendered Yellow Turbans.
The people are the foundation of the country. Few people in this day and age can understand the true meaning of "under heaven".
It's not that the people of this era are not smart enough, on the contrary, the wisdom of the ancients is beyond the reach of future generations, but it is just a limitation.
"Although Xu Ting's words are reasonable, the imperial court will not give us so much time to let us and the Yellow Turban waste, Lu Zigan's lesson is not far away, we should not forget." Zhu Yan said to everyone in a deep voice.
Liu Hong is very optimistic about the efficiency of the battle, in history, Zhu Wei besieged Wancheng for two months, Liu Hong had the intention of changing generals in battle, but was dissuaded by Sikong Zhang Wen. Liu Hongcai dispelled the idea of changing generals in battle.
"Gongwei only said one thing, the trapped beast is still fighting, I am afraid that the yellow turban thieves are desperate, there are 100,000 yellow turbans in the city, and we may not be able to stop it." Huangfu Song continued Zhu Yun's words and said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was like an initiation, and their mouths suddenly opened. Just when I was about to ask Huang Fu Song about the countermeasures. An unfamiliar voice rang out.
"I have a plan, and it will not take three days. You can break through the city. Xu Huang said to everyone with confidence.
In this big tent, the lowest position is Zuojun Sima. Xu Huang was the Sima of another department, but he was placed at the bottom. But from beginning to end, his heart was like water.
"Hugh wants to speak wildly, how can you discuss the major military affairs?" Huangfu Song looked at Xu Huang coldly and said disdainfully.
It took more than three days to build siege equipment. He dared to say that he would conquer Wancheng within three days. Even if Xu Huang has Liu Fan's ability, he can't complete such a whimsical thing.
"I am the Sima of the other subordinate of the general of Zhengbei, and I came to Nanyang to ask for thieves on the order of His Majesty, why can't I discuss the major military affairs, if I am wrong, the generals can completely dismiss it, and it is not too late for me to make a decision after I finish speaking?" Xu Huang said confidently.
"Xu Sima has a plan, but it doesn't hurt to say it. If so, we will adopt it? Zhu Yan admired Xu Huang very much, and said to Xu Huang calmly.
Huangfu Song also calmed down and listened, he wanted to see what Xu Huang, a kid who didn't know the height of the sky, could say.
This plan is a plan for tired soldiers, and every other hour they carry the ladder to make a feint attack on Wancheng, waving their flags and shouting. When the Yellow Turban cheered up and began to defend, our army Mingjin withdrew its troops. This is true during the day and at night, so that the yellow turban is not at peace. Xu Huang raised his voice and said to everyone.
The biggest advantage of the tired strategy is that you can wait for your work, and only send a small number of soldiers to harass the enemy, so as to confuse the enemy and make the enemy relax their vigilance.
Sun Bin's Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling both adopted the tactic of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", so as to mobilize the enemy, make the Wei army rush back and forth, and finally achieve the effect of "jumping on the general" to wait for work, which is a manifestation of the strategy of tired soldiers.
Wang Qian's battle to destroy Chu should also be a typical strategy of exhausting soldiers. In the face of Wang Qian's 600,000 Qin army, it is impossible for any Chu person to eat and sleep well, including Xiang Yan, the officers and soldiers of Chu State hope to start the main decisive battle as soon as possible, but Wang Jian has not moved for a year, which not only reduces the sharpness of the Chu army, but also makes the Chu army restless for a year, at the same time, Wang Jian also sent a small force to attack the Chu army without interruption, so that the Chu army is exhausted.
There are many kinds of tactics for exhausting soldiers, and the one Xu Huang said is the most commonly used and simplest one. Many brave commanders can easily break this tired strategy.
For example, Sun Bin and Wang Jian have the ability to command troops that are superb, which can be encountered but not sought.
"Are you sure this plan can break through Wancheng?" Huangfu Song said with some disbelief, he felt that there were many loopholes in using this exhausting tactic now.
If the yellow scarf is not fooled, stealing chickens will not make rice, and it will be tossed for a few days in vain, and many soldiers will be lost if it is not done well.
"I can't." Xu Huang shook his head and said.
