"Hey, it's a failure, it's a failure!"

After the battle, Chen Hanlang, the commander of the first division of the Ironclad Army, saw the last group of warriors on the city wall from afar, and they were all killed by the Yuanmeng defenders like a tide.

As a pioneer appointed by Guo Yu, he couldn't help but slap his thigh angrily.

"Pass my military order, Mingjin withdraw the troops. The offensive had become disheveled, and the defenders were in high spirits. Continuing to fight will only increase casualties. Mingjin retreats, Mingjin retreats. ”

"Yes!" Behind him, the herald and the standard-bearer hurriedly agreed.

Then, the loud sound of gold resounded on the battlefield at this time.

But this time, he didn't expect that one of the team leaders under his account was angry, and forgot to carry out the orders of the superior.

……

"Ahh I'm going to kill these dog thieves, I'm going to kill them! Over there, Fu Youde was really angry.

Although he lives in this world, he has tasted the severe pain caused by this kind of life and death more than once.

But when he thought of Han Hu's young face in his early twenties and the honest smiling face he showed when he called him "general", the unspeakable pain in his heart still couldn't help but turn into monstrous anger, wanting to tear everything in front of him.

"General, no. The gold has already been issued, and the brigade general has already issued an order to withdraw the troops. Violators of the order will be killed, and the general should not be impulsive! ”

Seeing Fu Youde's appearance, a platoon commander who had clearly heard the sound of Mingjin couldn't help but hug Fu Youde's waist, wanting to stop the furious Fu Youde.

But this brave warrior who was so brave that even Zhang Shihua was amazed, after getting angry, especially one of his platoon commanders could stop it.

No, as soon as the platoon leader finished speaking, the whole person couldn't help but be thrown out by Fu Youde.

"Fu Youde, you fucking calm down. Disobedience to military orders is an unforgivable sin. Manly husband, you have to die like Han Hu and them, die on the battlefield, you Fu Youde, do you want to die in military law and be spurned! ”

Over there, the platoon commander was also angry.

To be honest, if Shangfeng did not issue the order of Mingjin. Then the platoon commander Xiahou Ju will definitely not stop Fu Youde, and will even fight with Fu Youde.

But now, he must stop Fu Youde in anger.

It's not because I'm worried that Fu Youde, who is a team leader, may also be implicated after disobeying military orders. But he didn't want to see that he, a good general with excellent skills and was exchanged for a thousand dollars by his own king, would eventually die at the hands of the military judge.

"Ah!!h Fu Youde raised his head to the sky and let out an unwilling roar. Then his eyes were red, and he turned to look at Xiahou Ju who was standing up from the ground at this time, and couldn't help but say, "Xiahou, I Fu Youde owe you." ”

Then, he looked around and couldn't help but say: "All soldiers, listen to the order, withdraw the troops!" ”

……

"Mighty, mighty, mighty!" On the city wall, it also experienced a tragic fight.

Then looking at the Chu army that came like a tide and retreated like a tide in the end, the Yuanmeng defenders on the city wall still couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out bursts of cheers.

"Haha, great goodness, great goodness. If we continue like this, our army will hold the city and resist for ten days, and it will not be a problem. Ten days later, when the Xiangye reinforcements arrive, the big thing will be decided! Gu Jianwei, the original guard of Wanzhou City and now the bald deputy, looked at this scene, and couldn't help but smile and say this excitedly.

"Oh, the black-clad thief is cunning. We must not despise them because of this. In the next few days, you must be energetic, no matter day or night, you must never give the black-clothed thief a chance, understand? ”

Heard his deputy Gu Jianwei say this. Although there was a smile on his bald face, he didn't want his subordinates to make mistakes because of contempt and relaxation, so he couldn't help but put on a straight face and admonished his subordinates like this.

For this, in the past three days, some subordinates who have been convinced by the method of leading troops without spending money are naturally hurriedly nodded and agreed.

So just like that, after nodding his head with satisfaction, he took his guards down to the city and prepared to rest for a while.

……

"The subordinates are not good at attacking the city, please punish the marshal." At the same time, outside Wanzhou City, Guo Yu was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army. As the vanguard of this battle, Chen Hanlang couldn't help but kneel down at this time and plead guilty to his own marshal.

However, Guo Yu, who knew that Chen Hanlang was already doing his best, waved and said: "In Wanzhou City, the soldiers are the elite of the Xichuan Tartar army. Relying on the tall city, it is superior to you in terms of strength. It is not your sin that you are not in this battle.

Okay, get up, sit down and go where you are. ”

"Subordinate Marshal Xie Kaien." In this regard, Chen Hanlang thanked him with some shame, and then couldn't help but lower his head and obediently sat back in his place.

And when Chen Hanlang sat back in his seat.

Guo Yu, who was sitting on the top of the handsome position, glanced at the soldiers in this tent, and then couldn't help but say: "It seems that this time we still underestimate the Tartars of Wanzhou City." Now, three days have passed since the battle, but the battle situation has still not made any progress.

All the gentlemen are the generals of my great Chu's choice for a while, but do you have any clever plans to break the city? ”

"This ......" the generals heard this, you look at me, I look at him, but for a while they couldn't help but fall into silence.

After all, there are so many strategies that can be used in a siege war like this. Although Wanzhou City is located on the riverside, Wanzhou City, which is quite high, has no possibility of water attack at all.

Besides, water attack is also a time-grinding job.

At the beginning, Wang Ben, the son of the famous general Wang Jian in the Qin period, led the army to attack Daliang City, the capital of Wei, and led the river to irrigate Daliang City for three months before taking Daliang City.

In addition to water attack, what popular siege methods such as digging tunnels and piling earth to siege the city are undoubtedly time-consuming and labor-intensive.

So in this way, it was really difficult for the generals present to come up with any time-saving and labor-saving siege methods for a while.

"Marshal, I think maybe we can think about it differently this time." After being cold for a while, I saw that no one had spoken, as Li Wu, who had been serving as the commander of Zhang Shihua's personal guard, and then was directly appointed by Zhang Shihua as a military advisor, and did not have much actual combat experience. This time, I couldn't help but open my mouth rarely.

"Oh, Ah Wu, do you have a good way to break the city? Then come quickly. Seeing that Li Wu's words alleviated the embarrassment of the cold scene, Guo Yu couldn't help but ask like this.

But what Guo Yu didn't expect was that when he heard his words, Li Wu shook his head and said: "Marshal, a good way to attack the city, my subordinates are clumsy, I really can't think of it." But his subordinates feel that winning is not only about attacking the city. ”

"Hmm!" Hearing such words, the thoughtful Guo Yu couldn't help but touch his forehead and ponder.

"Oh, hahahaha. Ah Wu, you really woke up the dreamer with a word! Guo Yu suddenly showed a smile of sudden realization.

Yes, since Wanzhou City can't be captured within ten days, why can't you think differently. For example, the method of encircling points to send reinforcements directly knocks out the reinforcements that are not spent. Without reinforcements, relying only on a lonely city like Wanzhou City, pinching and pinching flat is not what Guo Yu means.

So thinking of it, Guo Yu, who was smiling, looked at Li Wu, and couldn't help but say easily: "Ah Wu, tell me what you think." ”

"Yes" Li Wu nodded when he heard this, then he took a deep breath, and looked at the many Chu army generals around him who either suddenly realized or were still at a loss, and he couldn't help but say: "Now, the reason why the defenders of Wanzhou can still maintain such high morale when they are besieged by a large army.

What it relied on, in addition to the strong Wanzhou city, was just the reinforcements that the right man of the puppet Xichuan Province did not spend six or seven days later. Therefore, as long as we can defeat the reinforcements commanded by the Tartar Buhua after six or seven days, when the Tartar Finisher Buhua has not been able to lead the reinforcements to join the Yuanmeng Tartars in Wanzhou City.

Then the defenders of Wanzhou City, who have lost the support of the outside world, are by no means impossible to break themselves. ”

"This, but it is so, but it is so."

"Yes, now these stubborn Tartars rely on nothing more than reinforcements that will not be spent for the completion of Xichuan. If there are no reinforcements, the Wanzhou Tartars who are trapped in the lonely city will naturally be demoralized. ”

"Haha, encircle the point to help, let's have a serious encirclement point to help."

Hearing Li Wu's explanation, the generals of the Chu Army under his account naturally immediately understood.

So for a while, there was a lot of gossip in the tent.

"Quiet! Under the marshal's account, how dare you make a noise! The voice of everyone's discussion didn't last long, over there, Bai Xi, who was the commander of the Great Chu Wu'an Army. After coughing lightly, he couldn't help but calm his face and scolded the generals who were gradually making noise in the tent.

“……”

Hearing this scolding, many generals under the tent couldn't help but put on a posture of sitting upright, and didn't dare to make any more noise.

"Well, General Lee's plan is indeed wonderful. But dare to ask the general, how to crush the reinforcements of the commander who is not going to spend the commander. You must know that according to the spies, the reinforcements of the commander will not be less than 15,000 people.

And now, after dividing a considerable part of the remaining soldiers and horses to guard the grain road for the army, the number of troops that our army can mobilize in Xichuan Province is only more than 25,000 soldiers and horses outside the city of Wanzhou. These soldiers and horses are enough to attack Wanzhou City.

But if you divide another one, the number of reinforcements that don't cost you a lot of money after sniping is a little tight! ”

After the generals under the tent quieted down, Bai Xi, who was also the commander of the Great Chu Army, couldn't help frowning lightly and asked Li Wu.

"Haha, General Bai's words can be described as an old man seeking the country." In this regard, Li Wu first smiled and praised Bai Xi, and then said confidently: "Everyone, 'There is a way that soldiers are not expensive but noble'. Compared with the soldiers and horses of Yuanmeng, my Dachu's soldiers and horses fought against them in the field, even if they couldn't use one as ten and one as two, there was no problem with the general's self-confidence. ”

Saying this, Li Wu, who was smiling, couldn't help but turn to look at the generals under his tent.

And the generals who came into contact with his eyes couldn't help but show confident smiles on their faces.

Yes, the many generals of the Chu army present, even the most cautious, were absolutely confident to lead their soldiers and horses to defeat twice their own Yuan and Mongolian official army in the field.

After all, today's Yuanmeng official army, especially the Yuanmeng official army south of the Yangtze River with the Han army of the south as the main force.

To put it bluntly, it is just a group of idle ruffians under the banner of the army or the personal servants of high-level generals such as thousands and thousands of households in the Yuan and Mongolian armies.

Their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of the border army in the late Ming Dynasty that began to flee when they saw the Eight Banners Army charging in later generations.

Anyway, the guard system of Zhu Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is the Yuanmeng military system copied in order to save money.

The army of the imperial court at the end of the Ming Dynasty rotted into that dog. With this as a reference, everyone must be able to know how many skills Yuanmeng's southern army has.

Therefore, at this time, even Bai Xi, who was a little worried, heard Li Wu confidently say that "only 10,000 soldiers and horses need to be divided into the army, and then you can defeat the reinforcements that are not spent in the field battle in one fell swoop".

I didn't think that Li Wu was talking big.

On the contrary, after hearing Li Wu's words, Bai Xi couldn't help but speak: "In this case, what our army has to consider next is how to defeat the reinforcements that are not spent in the field." ”

Judging by what the finisher has not done these days, this man is not a cautious person. Otherwise, he would never have taken the risk of wishing Yang Han, the leader of the Xichuan Rebel Army, to take advantage of this to annex the rebel army's soldiers and horses at the juncture of the battle between the two armies. ”

Over there, Guo Yu finally spoke again at this juncture.

"At such a juncture, dare to do such a thing as killing Yang Han. It shows that in his bones, this Tartar pseudo-prime minister has this almost gambler-like adventurous spirit. Otherwise, when the city of Wanzhou in Tartar was in an emergency, as the governor of a province, he would not personally lead reinforcements to come.

Courageous and adventurous. Oh, I have to say that this finisher doesn't spend his character in the Yuanmeng officialdom, but it's really weird. ”

Looking at the subordinates in the tent, Guo Yu analyzed it eloquently. Then after saying something jokingly like this, Guo Yu couldn't help but put away his laughter, and said with a solemn face: "Everyone, you said that if it was six or seven days later, Ben Shuai deliberately showed a flaw to him.

Then if you don't spend it, do you dare to bite the hook? ”

"This ......," the generals fell silent again. But this time, the silence only lasted for a short time, and Shen Ke, who was also a military advisor, couldn't help but make a rare remark and broke the silence.

"I must dare." Shen Ke said, "Because in the casino, there is really no gambler who is about to lose to the point of bankruptcy, who will give up this kind of "good opportunity" to return to the capital!" ”

"Hahahaha, okay. Then, in this way, the matter will be easy to do. Guo Yu laughed when he heard this. Then, leaning on the back of his seat, he could not help but command: "Tomorrow, continue the siege." Let's take the show seriously. ”

"Yes!" The generals heard and shouted.
