Chapter 609: Discussion
The next morning, Wang Yuan gathered his generals to ride their horses to the bottom of the stone slope under the city of Motuo to survey the terrain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhen the general saw the smooth and narrow stone slope and the hidden location of the beacon castle on the hillside, everyone was worried. Song Jiangong, Li Mi and other experienced generals all knew that under such a terrain, it would probably be a bloody battle to capture the city of Motuo.
Back in the big tent, Wang Yuan looked at the silent generals and asked with a smile: "If the generals have any ideas, please say them all." ”
Song Jiangong frowned and stepped forward and arched his hand: "Great Marshal, the terrain of this city is so dangerous, it may be extremely difficult to attack the city. The slope of the mountain beam had been blocked by the Tibetans, and the lowly officials believed that they should think of a perfect plan before launching the attack, otherwise the casualties would be extremely heavy. ”
Li Mi frowned and said: "General Song, you didn't say this, looking at such a terrain, who doesn't know that it is extremely difficult to attack it?" Where is the best solution? The old man couldn't think of any foolproof solution for a while. ”
Song Jiangong obviously respects Li Mi very much, and he doesn't argue when he is choked by Li Mi, but only says yes. What he said was indeed nonsense, and he couldn't think of a way to attack for a while, but as a soldier and horse envoy, he had to come out and speak, so he could only say some perfunctory words.
Everyone talked about it for a long time, but in short, there was no good way. The thought of the topography of the slope and the blockade of the Beacon Fort above made everyone scratch their heads, as if nothing could be done but to pile up human lives.
Everyone gradually quieted down, their eyes were all looking at Wang Yuan, and at this moment they didn't know what kind of opinion this scheming handsome man had on this. The generals are looking forward to the big marshal to give a solution.
"Generals, what you have seen is only a glimpse of the tube, and you have not seen the deployment of the Tubo people on the hillside." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"What's going on on the mountain beam? Could it be that the marshal has already investigated and learned? Li Mi asked with a wink.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Don't hide it from you, last night I spent some effort and climbed to the top of the mountain south of Motuo City with Miss Gongsun, and from the top of the mountain, I had a general view of the Motuo City on the mountain beam and the surrounding terrain and defense facilities. When I came back, I made this thing overnight and taught you to see it at a glance. ”
Wang Yuan stood up and walked to the corner of the big tent, stretched out his hand to uncover a piece of black cloth covering something, and a sand table several feet square appeared in front of everyone. Tan Ping and Liu Jun joined hands to carry the sand table to the middle of the big tent, and the generals gathered around to watch. At this look, a layer of cold sweat appeared on everyone's backs, and they were all stunned and speechless.
"This city can't be captured, how many people will die here? With this kind of defense and terrain, 10,000 horses can withstand the siege of 100,000 troops, not to mention that there are more than 30,000 Tibetan soldiers and horses stationed in the city. Originally, the general thought that he might be able to capture the stone slope at some cost, and as long as he went up the mountain beam, he could steadily transport the siege equipment up to attack the city. But according to the situation shown on the sand table of the great marshal, there is only such a small area in front of the city, and it is within the range of the bow and arrow defending the city, it is a dead land. The handsome general said frustrating words. This kind of defensive momentum, let alone my 55,000 army, is twice as much as it is in vain. Song Jiangong inhaled the cold air.
Liu Dehai frowned and said, "Song Soldier and Horse Envoy, how can you talk like that?" What is the reason for cowardice before fighting? If these words were heard by the soldiers, wouldn't it shake the hearts of the soldiers? ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "General Song is right, Liu Dehai, you don't have to say such things, all the generals here know that General Song just said it directly." In fact, I think the same as General Song's. An army of 100,000 may not be able to take the city. ”
The generals were silent, and the marshals all said so, it seems that this time it is really tricky.
"The defense is so tight, it is obviously inappropriate to storm it. The Tubo people really thought about it very carefully, and our army didn't need a single siege equipment in their hands. Even the first beacon fort was halfway up the hill four hundred paces away, which made it clear that our long-range attack equipment such as the Fuyuan crossbow was useless. There are cliffs on both sides, and the soldiers and horses can't go up. Even if you can climb up, but you can't carry siege equipment, it's still in vain. This...... How good is that? Li Mi stroked his beard anxiously.
The tent will be staring at each other but unable to solve the current problem, which is like a dead end.
Fighting sometimes relies on bravery, and if a soldier is not afraid of life and death, a battle can often burst out with great potential and achieve incredible results. For example, the strategy of the overlord of Chu back then was to inspire the soldiers' determination to die, and finally left a good story for the ages with fewer victories.
However, the current situation is that even if you are determined to die, it will not end well. You are not afraid of death and rush forward, but the result is that you are really dead, but the city will definitely not be able to be attacked, this is the cruel truth. Sometimes fearless life and death can create many miracles, but here fearless life and death is worthless, just stupid death.
Wang Yuan looked at everyone's dejected appearance and knew that the time had come. It's time to throw your own plans. In the past, if you had spoken out, you would have been opposed by everyone, but now you will have a completely different effect when you say it.
So Wang Yuan told him about the plan he had discussed with Gongsun Lan last night, and the generals were stunned to hear Wang Yuan say this plan. Dashuai, this is going to work hard. Infiltrating enemy cities is also too risky.
After a brief silence, the generals raised their voices of opposition, and the tent seemed to be boiling.
Song Jiangong's head shook like a rattle, frowned and said: "It's not proper, how can the marshal be in danger in person, if something goes wrong with the marshal, how will the soldiers deal with themselves?" Besides, there is a reason for the commander to go into danger by himself in the siege of the city. ”
Li Mi also stroked his beard and shook his head and said: "The marshal thinks twice before acting, sneaking into the enemy city and dying for a lifetime, when my army is pressing, the Tubo people will be very strict, and it is not easy to hide their whereabouts, let alone make a move." It's very inappropriate, the old man will never agree. ”
Liu Jun, Liu Dehai and others also echoed the gossip, saying that they must not agree to this plan.
Wang Yuan frowned, reached out and knocked a few times on the handsome case with his fingers, and the tent suddenly fell silent. He didn't expect that after so long of foreshadowing, it still attracted unanimous opposition. These people are certainly thinking about their own safety, but they do not take into account the overall situation.
"Everyone, listen to me." Wang Yuan said coldly: "I am very grateful that you care about my safety." But is there anything better you can do than that? Whoever has a clever plan to offer, I naturally won't take any chances. ”
The generals looked at each other, but there was nothing to offer. Wang Yuan said: "I know that this is indeed a bit risky, but if you don't enter the tiger's den, you must take this risk." You all know the overall situation, I have said it dozens of times, only by entering the city can we firmly hold the soldiers and horses of Tubo and echo the attack of the Anxi army on the West Road. It is no exaggeration to say that our Jiannan Army and Anxi Army have reached a time when they cannot withdraw, and their fates have been tied together, and neither can ignore each other at this time. Of course, I could have stood still, but that killed tens of thousands of Anxi troops. How many times do you have to say this before you can understand this? ”
Song Jiangong arched his hand and said: "Marshal, it's not that you don't understand the inferior rank, it's just that this strategy is too dangerous." ”
Wang Yuan said: "You may choke to death when you eat and drink, and you may fall and break your head when you walk." What is not dangerous in the world? When a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven. You can't escape if you're lucky, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
Everyone was speechless, Da Shuai was playing a scoundrel, this sound seems to make sense, but it makes no sense when you think about it carefully.
"If you have to use this strategy to break the city, the old man suggests that someone else be sent. There are a lot of skilled people in the army, so why take risks. Li Mi said in a deep voice.
"I'll go, I'll go. I can do this for my father-in-law. Liu Jun raised his hand and shouted.
Wang Yuan glanced at Liu Jun coldly, and immediately interrupted Liu Jun's words. Frightened, he put down his hand and bowed his head silently.
"You're going? This strategy is only allowed to succeed and not to fail, failure is not only to die in the city, but also to destroy the siege plan, teach the Tibetan people to be prepared, you can ensure success? Wang Yuan shouted coldly.
Liu Jun bowed his head speechlessly, not daring to speak.
"To be honest, I didn't want to take any risks, but I had to. It is not appropriate for any of you to go. You are all leading generals, and the siege will require your cooperation to succeed. Only you know the situation of your respective soldiers and horses, but when you attack the city, you can not do it, and you will not do it. Besides, in terms of skill and martial arts, which of you is my opponent? Whoever of you wants to replace me will fight with me, and if he can beat me, he will be qualified. Who's going to try my hand at martial arts with me? Wang Yuan said, and slowly pulled out the long sword of the broken army.
None of the generals dared to step forward and make a move with Wang Yuan, even if there were those who thought that their martial arts skills were better than those of the handsome, they did not dare to step forward and make a move. What's more, it is already a well-known thing that the handsome man has strong martial arts. It is said that he was taught by a famous teacher, and his swordsmanship is exquisite. Everyone has seen the heroic posture of the handsome man on the battlefield, and that is not bragging.
"Actually, it's not as dangerous as you think, you all know how Gongsun Girl's martial arts are, I don't dare to say that she is the best in the world, and she is also a first-class master. To be honest, if it weren't for the presence of Miss Gongsun, this strategy would not have been implemented. With her to protect me, I should walk on the ground when I enter and leave the enemy camp. What you should be discussing is how to cooperate with us inside and outside, not to unnecessarily obstruct here. If you want me to be safe, you must find a way to attack the outside of the city, and the timing must be right. ”
By this time, everyone knew that the commander had made up his mind, and the eight horses could not turn back. Everyone can only shift the focus of the topic to how to cooperate with each other, and how to integrate the inside and outside. After all, the marshal is in the city, and the army can't attack the city. The strategy of the army outside can also make the movement of the commander in the city safer. When the marshal sneaks into the city, the army outside the city should make a move, and so on.
It was not until late afternoon that everyone discussed a feasible solution, and then they went back to the camp to prepare.
