Chapter 227: Defense and Battle
Yuan Lang asked what he asked, and the latter immediately stepped forward and replied when he heard this: "Back to the lord's words, the enemy army is deploying troops on a large scale, and wants to carry out a second round of offensive against my northern city, and the previous heavy catapult has destroyed more than half of the walls of my northern city, and our army is currently stepping up construction, hoping to repair more before they attack!" ”
What he said was true, and the damage to the northern city was as he had reported, and with a fortification of this scale, it might not be possible to prevent the enemy's next large-scale attack.
"Strengthen the north gate, let the soldiers stop repairing the city walls and fortifications, and order the whole army to have dinner and rest for half an hour!" After Yuan Lang was for a while, he said something earth-shattering.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, and their expressions were all stunned, wondering if they had misheard Yuan Lang's order.
"What, do you need Ben Shuai to be reborn again?" Yuan Lang looked at the generals under his command with a firm look, and told them from the bottom of his heart that yes, it was to rest and eat.
"My lord, no!" He felt a great responsibility, and the others could not speak, but as the defender of the northern city, he could not help but speak out the doubts in his heart, so he continued, "The enemy army is about to attack the city, if we don't hurry up to repair the collapsed city walls and destroyed fortifications, won't it leave the enemy army without hindrance?" ”
Yuan Lang knew that there were many people present who had the same thoughts as Zheng Gu, and he just wanted to explain, but found that Guo Tu was looking at him with blazing eyes in the back position, as if revealing a kind of appreciation.
"Yes, uncle, there are a lot of enemy troops, if you don't prepare in advance, it seems that something is wrong!" Yuan Fengming had been following Yuan Lang's side, and when he saw that his uncle was going to do something foolish, he couldn't help but kindly remind.
"Haha, you don't seem to understand the samadhi!" Yuan Lang looked at Guo Tu and continued, "Mr. Gongze seems to have something to say?" ”
Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Lang approvingly, and then stepped out and said: "The general is not afraid of danger, and has the courage to wait for work with ease and the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat. ”
"Sir, you might as well speak more thoroughly!" Yuan Lang replied to Guo Tu.
Guo Tu knew that Yuan Lang was using his mouth to explain the intention of Yuan Lang's military order to everyone just now, so he was also happy to help, only to listen to his analysis: "The enemy's large catapult has the ability to destroy the withering and decaying, no matter how our army repairs and reinforces, can it still be restored to the same level as before?" It's just a drop in the bucket, but it's better to put down all your burdens and be ready to fight bloody battles with the enemy and become a mortal. The enemy army is also flesh and blood, and they are already exhausted when they move back and forth, and our army has the advantage of cultivating and fighting with one. As long as our army does not lose the city gate, the enemy army will not be able to let the cavalry enter the city, even if they climb the city wall, how to contend with the army that I have made up my mind to die, as long as our army is united, although the number of enemy troops is double that of our army, but our army is faced with the enemy army who can climb upstairs at one time, but our army is double with them, try to ask how not to kill him cleanly. At that time, as long as their army does not come up, the vanguard will kill him a hundred when they come up, unless they withdraw their troops, otherwise this tower of our army will be their burial place! ”
Through Guo Tu's explanation, everyone present who was still in the dark couldn't help but pause, as if they had seen the sun through the clouds.
"This is really a clever plan, so that the enemy's catapults will be useless, and no matter how many of them come up, we will meet with all our forces, and the enemy will not be defeated!"
Tong Gui has always been happy and convinced of Yuan Lang, and now seeing that his coach can come up with such a plan to put himself to death and live at this juncture, his admiration for Yuan Lang is even more irreparable.
"It would be unwise to confront it with all its forces!" Yuan Lang continued to explain while the iron was hot, "Ben Shuai ordered! From the more than 10,000 defenders, 5,000 elite soldiers were drawn and divided into 50 phalanxes, each with 100 people, and these 100 people were a small group. The length of the city wall in the north city was estimated by the marshal, and there were ten points where it was easiest to be battled in the city, and these ten points placed an average of five hundred-man regiments, and these five regiments did not need to go into battle together, and always kept two regiments on the front line and three regiments in the rear to cultivate, so in rotation. In this way, our army will always be a fresh force in the face of the enemy! ”
"Wonderful!" Guo Tu clapped his hands excitedly and said, "The general can cure the short with the long, and the public can be regarded as insightful!" ”
"Haha, wheel war, the last general thought that there was no need to make another move, but now that the lord said so, then the last general has added twelve points of confidence to the victory of this battle!"
Zhang Leigong didn't understand those words, but he was very interested in what Yuan Lang said about the rotation of the hundred-person group.
"My nephew now understands what my uncle said, it is impossible to kill a single person if you command ten thousand people, and such a good strategy to control the enemy as my uncle is much stronger than the reckless man with a sword and gun!"
Yuan Fengming followed Yuan Lang and saw Yuan Lang's power, he may have wanted to rely on martial arts to solve all problems before, but now it seems that his ideas are so high-quality.
"No matter how a general who can fight well can match the world, he can be regarded as ten enemies or a hundred enemies at most, but a good commander who can fight and strategize and win thousands of miles can be a thousand enemies, or even ten thousand enemies!" Guo Tu continued appreciatively, "I am convinced of the general!" It seems that there is no place to use here, if the general allows, he wants to retreat first, and the people in the city seem to need to go down to appease! ”
It is absolutely commendable that Guo Tu can give such a compliment, he can help himself get here, Yuan Lang thinks that as a strategist who came from Yuan Shao's account, Guo Tu is already within his ability.
Guo Tu's retreat has the reason he said earlier, but Yuan Lang knows in his heart that in the face of the former owner, if they hadn't committed the evil act of indiscriminately killing innocents, Guo Tu would not have contributed to Yuan Lang.
Yuan Lang bowed to Guo Tu, which was regarded as a thank you for everything he had done before, Guo Tu accepted it ashamedly, and then went down the city tower in the eyes of everyone and went by himself.
"Pass the order, the whole army will have dinner, and then immediately select elite soldiers and act according to the plan!" After Yuan Lang finished speaking, he glanced at the flag guards who were holding his handsome flag, and shouted excitedly, "Hang up the handsome flag of this handsome, I want to let the enemy of the northern city know, I, Yuan Lang, are here!" ”
Yuan Lang said with a heroic finger, the city tower was densely packed with people several miles away, and the enemy army was actively deploying troops in the direction of the northern city, and a battle of life and death was about to begin.
