Chapter 289 Tianshui Jiang Wei
Almost all the generals said discouraged words, which made Zhang Ji sigh angrily, only hating that his subordinates were now unavailable. Vertex updates are the fastest
It's really time for the Shu army to come, he just pacified the rebellion with Xiahou Ru and others a year ago, and now people everywhere are still panicking, and now this Shu army comes, plus the heroic name of Liu Bei and Ma Chao, the rebellion will definitely resurge, and I can only count on the imperial court to send a large army again, but I didn't expect that the 50,000 army sent will be almost gone after just shaking like this.
What's even more terrifying is that now that the Shu army has only repelled Cao Xiu's army in a few days, the rebels everywhere must be greatly encouraged, thinking that even if there is another imperial army, it will definitely be defeated.
They will definitely think that now is the right time to respond to the incident and ask Shu Han for merit and reward.
Right now, in this Ji city, maybe there are already many people who are ready to move.
And the thousands of reinforcements left by Cao Xiu were frightened one by one, and it seemed that not only could not help him defend the city, but would help the rebels in the Great Wall to win!
Alas, the general trend is gone, who can help me?
Luckily, someone came out to speak. Vertex updates are the fastest
A young man in his twenties stood up and spoke: "My lord, the enemy is surrounded by two and two is missing, which means that they just want to quickly enter and occupy Jicheng, and they have no intention of fighting to the death with the army here." ”
Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "You talk carefully and listen to it." ”
The young man analyzed: "There has never been a siege method that besieges two without two. If the defenders of the city want to evacuate and divide the troops into two routes, it will be difficult for the enemy to know which side is the main army and which side is the feint, so it is difficult to ensure an accurate volley, and it will be impossible to effectively destroy the enemy. Therefore, I conclude that the enemy simply wants to occupy Jicheng and defend himself, and does not want to fight us to the death here. ”
Someone objected: "How can you be sure that they are only trying to drive away the defenders of the city, and not to lure us out of the city and then intercept them?" Leave it on both sides, and once we evacuate, they can send cavalry to chase after us. Vertex updates are the fastest, and we're almost all pawns now. ”
The young man shook his head and said, "I only say this because the enemy has opened the two gates, one is the west gate and the other is the north gate. As you know, the enemy is coming from the south, and the upper part of the east is now occupied by them, and if we run that way, we will be swooping down on their sword. ”
Immediately, someone responded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, the west is Nan'an, Longxi and other counties, and they are all our places, and in the north, you can go directly back to Guanzhong through Luoyang County of Guangwei County!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately talked about it, and the lobby was buzzing.
Although it makes sense, Zhang Ji was frightened by everyone, what is going on, at the beginning of the discussion, he was discussing which direction he could escape? I want to persevere, not run away!
"You, you, can you tell me what to do with the enemy?" Zhang wanted the young people to say something to boost their morale.
The young man smiled slightly: "They only besiege the city on both sides, hoping that we will abandon the city and flee, which also shows a problem, their troops are not very abundant. According to the news I got before, this time the enemy came to attack Longyou, a total of about 30,000 horses, and now they have to occupy it, there must be a lot of troops stationed in case of reinforcements in Guanzhong, and Qishan and Xixian They also have to send people to defend, so, I estimate, only 20,000 horses came to Jicheng. ”
Zhang Ji nodded with satisfaction, and cheered up the generals: "I think what this young man said is very reasonable, the enemy is only 20,000 people, and we have 10,000 defenders in the city, and we rely on strong walls to defend ourselves, so we don't have to worry at all." ”
Then he asked the young man, "You said it so well, what is your name?" ”
Tianshui Taishou immediately came out to answer: "My lord, this is our newly appointed army in Tianshui County, surnamed Jiang Mingwei, the word Boyo, his father was also a county Gongcao back then, and he sacrificed his life in the pacification of the Qiang and Hu rebellions, and now his son inherits his father's will and serves the court." Vertex updates the fastest"
"Oh?" Zhang Ji's eyes lit up, he stood up happily, and took Jiang Wei's hand, "Very good, very good, can you tell everyone more?" ”
Jiang Wei is full of confidence: "The book of war says, ten will be surrounded, five will be attacked, and multiple will be divided, now the enemy is only twice as much as us, and it is from afar, we only need the army and the people to work together, do not be deceived by the enemy's rhetoric, according to the city to defend tightly, within a month, the enemy will naturally run out of food and grass, and retreat." ”
"Well, well said, well said!" Zhang not only needed such a confident person now, but also added for him, "Within a month, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to come to the rescue, and at that time, the enemy will naturally have to flee." ”
Those generals who fled from Qishan looked disdainful, saying better than singing, what five will attack, and the double will be divided, in Qishan, we 50,000 people will fight against 15,000 people, and then 30,000 people, and within a few days it will become 10,000 to 20,000 people, which day will it be a war according to what the war book says?
Soldiers' books, we will all memorize them!
The art of war and the art of war should also be flexibly used in combination with reality!
Reinforcements, reinforcements, we are reinforcements!
Jiang Wei is not as pessimistic as them, and he has to take the initiative to ask for battle: "My lord, I am willing to lead 3,000 soldiers to camp on a high place outside the west gate, and the city is a horn of each other, and when the enemy attacks the city in the future, I can also lead the army to attack their rear to reduce the pressure on the defenders in the city." ”
Zhang can't agree with this either.
Let's not talk about the fact that the enemy has come to the city now, can you Jiang Wei have a chance to set up camp when you go out of the city, not to mention, just those 3,000 people, where do you ask me to find you?
There are only more than 1,000 soldiers in the city, and there is no combat effectiveness at all, and you still need 3,000 soldiers, do you still want to choose from the people brought by the original Cao Xiu?
Can you hold them down? I don't even have confidence.
Besides, the enemy even defeated Cao Xiu's 50,000 horses, and at this time he was desperate to divide the troops in the city, and you still want to go out, wouldn't it be in the hands of the enemy?
The sergeant came in to report and handed over a few letters: "Ma Chao called for battle outside the city, and shot several letters into the city. ”
"He called his formation, and we don't have to pay attention to it." Zhang had made up his mind not to fight, so he opened the letter as he spoke.
In that letter, Ma Chao first reprimanded them for these officials who were all Han officials before, and they were full of Han Lu, but they followed Cao Pi to usurp and rebel, which was really a great crime, and they should take advantage of the precipice to rein in the horse and go out of the city to surrender to the Han Emperor Liu Bei, so as to atone for their sins, serve the Han Emperor, and try to gain fame.
Immediately afterwards, he clearly pointed out that he was willing to give them a chance, even if they were worried about being defeated and captured, they could abandon the city from the west gate or the north gate, otherwise, two days later, the north gate would be blocked, and two days later, the west gate would be blocked, and at that time, if they wanted to escape, they were afraid that they would have no chance.
Hehe, this Ma Chao has grown, and he wrote a letter and even cited three alternative paths, the upper policy is to surrender the city to protect the wealth, the middle policy is to abandon the city to protect his life, and the next policy is stubborn to resist nothing.
If such a letter spreads, except for those who are determined to follow the Cao Wei regime, not to mention those who have the Han family in their hearts, they are hesitant swing people, I am afraid that they will go out of the city first and hide aside, and the victory or defeat of the two armies will be decided.
Such a letter must not be known to the people of the city, and must be sealed.
