Chapter 68: Besiege but Not Attack
Either people with stupid mouths will suffer, and people with low IQ and stupid mouths will suffer even more, at this time you don't hurry up to admit your mistakes, you still have to quibble, isn't that asking for trouble?
The person who went to find Old Man Wei to report the news was none other than Zeng Kaiyu's personal guard, who was not only a fierce master, but also quite articulate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the incident happened, Zeng Kaiyu and his personal guards were lined up at the window next to Youboda, such a close distance, the cause of the incident was really seen, before going to invite Old Man Wei, Zeng Kaiyu also personally instructed that he must be truth-seeking and say, don't be biased, since he said it impartially, then Old Man Wei can not know who is right and who is wrong?
If you want to go on the expedition, you won't go on the expedition if you cooperate with others? Besides, if you want to fight Linzi, how many miles is Linzi County from Qingzhou Fucheng? It won't last more than twenty miles! Where did the fifteenth battalion fight? The fifteenth battalion of the people hit Linqu, how far is Linqu from Qingzhou? Little Hundred Miles Road!
Besides, is there still a city guard in Linzi County? According to the report of the spies these days, the patrol officers in Linzi County have almost run away, and you are just going to receive it! But what about Linqu where the fifteenth battalion is going to fight? There are 4,000 soldiers guarding the city!
When he came here, he saw that the soldiers on both sides were about to make a move, so he hurriedly separated the crowd, and when he came inside, the first thing he saw was the face of the old and tall Pang Dog, and he also saw the footprints on Wei Boyuan's body, how could he not know that these two people had already moved?
I was already very angry in my heart, and I was even more angry when I saw this scene, but when I heard Yuboda's bullshit and strong words, the anger in my heart was really about to ignite the air around me.
"You shut up Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's face has made you lose everything!"
"Old man, it's not ......"
"Shut up!"
After roaring, Yu Boda Wei Boyuan turned to look at the people around, and shouted again: "It's all scattered, what are you doing here?" Don't know if the expedition is imminent? It's time to eat, it's time to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and it's time to straighten out the soldiers and horses! ”
Wei Boyuan's prestige among the soldiers is quite high, after all, everyone's methods of battle are taught by Wei Boyuan directly or indirectly, and because Wei Boyuan is above the generals immediately, no one in the soldiers dares not to listen to Wei Boyuan's words.
The soldiers of the 4th and 15th battalions dispersed in an uproar, those who should have eaten went to eat, those who should have lined up to eat went to other windows to line up to eat, and a brawl that almost caused chaos disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"You two come over here!"
Wei Boyuan dropped a sentence and turned around and walked out, Pang Goudan and You Boda glanced at each other, then snorted heavily, and walked to keep up with Wei Boyuan's footsteps.
Coming to a no-man's corner outside the cafeteria, Wei Boyuan stopped, turned around and looked at the two people who were still staring at each other, and the anger in his heart did not disappear at all, but became even greater.
"Yu Boda, do you know why the lord asked you to be a pioneer and go to Linzi County?"
Wei Boyuan's sentence is to 'take' Linzi County, not to attack, the hidden meaning of this word, as long as the IQ is at a normal level, people can hear it, but You Boda's IQ is below the normal level, he doesn't understand it at all.
didn't think about it, so he said proudly: "The lord must be able to fight with the old man, so he is called the pioneer drop!" ”
Wei Boyuan's face turned black all of a sudden, and he gritted his teeth and desperately suppressed the idea of waving his fist at this thing, and endured it for a while before he could bear it.
"Can you fight? Don't talk about Zhou Yun, don't talk about Zuo Yuanfeng, just talk about Xu Wenxu, who also uses a knife, have you ever beaten him? ”
As soon as he heard this, Yu Boda's face turned red rarely, but fortunately, he had a black face, and he couldn't see it when he was red, and he wanted to open his mouth to distinguish it, but he heard Wei Boyuan speak.
"The lord's meaning is clear, Linzi is close at hand, and the city inspection department has gone to the camp empty, almost no one guards the city, such a city, let you take it, one is because you are my hometown, and the other is because you have no brains, you can't fight the siege at all, so the lord specially instructed you to ambush and outside the city gate, wait for the city gate to open, and quickly rush into the city with three hundred cavalry!"
After saying this, Yuboda completely lowered his head, let him take the lead in the charge, let him capture the city, he really doesn't have that brain, he is very self-aware, he watches the sand table game every day, and he goes up every day to play, but so far let alone a victory, as long as the whole army is not destroyed, he can be happy for several days.
"The lord asked you to go to Linzi County, in order to get a good start, but also to give you four battalions of soldiers to boost morale, but you are good, you didn't go out of the camp, it almost caused a big disaster, if your fourth battalion really fought with the fifteenth battalion, it will inevitably affect the morale of the whole army, the morale of the army is the most important, but look at your ......"
"Alas, forget it, I won't talk about it, you can do it yourself!" After Wei Boyuan said this, he turned his head to look at Pang Goudan and said: "Battalion Commander Pang, the lord has directly promoted you from a non-commissioned officer to a squad leader and platoon commander directly to a company commander, and from a company commander to a battalion commander, what a lot of trust is this, you don't want to repay the lord's kindness, but use this trust to fight with others, you are really disappointed by the lord!" ”
Pang Goudan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and cried: "Subordinate, subordinate, I, I, I am ashamed of my trust in the lord, I almost did something ridiculous, damaged the morale of the army, please ask the old man to punish the lord on his behalf!" ”
Pang Goudan knelt down, Wei Boyuan's heart softened, he stretched out his hand to help Pang Goudan and said: "Okay, the task of your fifteenth battalion is very heavy, and the lord trusts you to hand over such a heavy task to you, and you must not live up to the lord's expectations!" ”
Pang Goudan swore to the sky that he would never live up to the expectations of the lord, Wei Boyuan nodded, and let him go, then looked at Yuboda who was standing on the side, and said something to Yuboda, Yuboda bowed his head and left.
……
After the end of the day, the battalions were drawn one after another, and in a short time, most of the men and horses in the left guard battalion went, and the rest had no tasks, and when the rooster crowed, they consciously began to exercise.
In Liu Zheng's handsome tent, Wei Boyuan accompanied Liu Zheng and placed the wooden villains representing each battalion on the huge sand table one by one.
Last night, since dinner, Liu Zheng and Zeng Kaiyu discussed in the tent, and did not let Zeng Kaiyu leave until midnight, during which Wei Boyuan was not in the tent because he had to arrange other tasks for the people in the cavalry battalion, I don't know what the two talked about, and Liu Zheng was too suspicious, and he could see his distrust of others from his actions, and the sudden war, even he Wei Boyuan did not see the slightest sign before, and these plans only existed in Liu Zheng's mind.
Now there are only the two of them in the tent, so Wei Boyuan asked the doubts that had always existed in his heart.
"My lord, the fifteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth battalions fought in Linqu, although the soldiers of the eighteenth battalion are veterans and have experience in attacking the city, but the fifteenth and sixteenth battalions are all recruits, and they haven't practiced!"
"And the lord, according to the spies, in addition to Linzi is not defended against us, Shouguang, Changle and Linqu are very guarded against us, not only sentry cards are everywhere along the way, but also only open a city gate, Linqu is more than Shouguang and Changle, since we occupied Qingzhou Mansion, Linqu's city gate is only open at noon for two hours!"
"Isn't it ...... to let our people attack these cities now" Wei Boyuan couldn't say too much, and he thought for a while before he said, is it too risky?
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Old man, don't worry, Shouguang and Changle are both county seats, and they are inland, and they are not a place of military contention, so the soldiers in the city who specialize in guarding the city are just soldiers of the Inspection Department who are serving in the task of defending the city. I only choose one or two civilians to train and replace the conscripts in the agricultural slack time! To put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of people! Even if the magistrate wants them to defend the city, they can just scare and scare these people and run away! ”
Wei Boyuan knew that what Liu Zheng said was the truth, but he was still very worried in his heart, and said: "Even so, as long as the city gate is closed, we can't do anything about them, after all, our soldiers have never practiced ant siege, and they don't even have engineering equipment!" ”
Liu Zheng smiled again and said, "Didn't I say before that you don't have to worry?" Last night, I had already ordered Qin Haiqing to take the soldiers of the first battalion and the seventh battalion to train the old craftsman Xu, bring enough craftsmen, and escort them all the way to Shouguang and Linqu outside the city, and when our men and horses arrived at the city, they only needed to pretend to make siege equipment on the spot, and they could scare the people inside to open the city and surrender! ”
Hearing Liu Zheng say this, Wei Boyuan let go of his hanging heart slightly, but soon he said, "What about Linqu?" Linqu has a special guard of the city! The fifteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth battalions alone will never be able to take it! ”
"Haha!" Liu Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Old man, why did I send Zeng Kaiyu there?" ”
"Oh?" Wei Boyuan's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that the lord has a plan to break the city?" ”
Liu Zheng shook his head and didn't speak, just looked at the sand table silently, and then Wei Boyuan was even more strange: "What is the plan of the lord?" ”
"Besiege but not attack!"
Besiege without attacking? Wei Boyuan was silent, and his eyes moved to the model of the city representing Linqu on the huge sand table.
After being silent for a while, Liu Zheng pointed to Mulingguan and said: "There are more than 100 miles of mountain roads from Linqu to Mulingguan, and the grain and grass in Mulingguan are supplied by Linqu. The last time the grain and grass were delivered was on the fifteenth day of the lunar month last year, and now there is still half a month, and it is time to change the guard! ”
Wei Boyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was born in a martial arts family, and he had been in Datong Border Pass for most of his life, how could he not hear what Liu Zheng said.
Soon Wei Boyuan continued Liu Zheng's words and said: "As long as Linqu is trapped for more than ten days, when the grain and grass on Muling Pass will be exhausted, someone will inevitably be sent to contact, and then only the person who contacts this contact will be captured, and then a battalion will be sent to pretend to change the guard, and Muling Pass will be at your fingertips!" ”
Liu Zheng stretched out a thumbs up to Wei Boyuan and said, "The old man is really amazing!" The little nephew only said a word, and the old man already understood what the little nephew was thinking! ”
