Chapter 24: Death Anyway
Wei Changfeng also smiled bitterly. Who is he? The reincarnation of the gods who knew 500 years before and 500 years later? Of course, he had many plans, but in the current situation, if he still said that there was a way to defeat the enemy, then he could only be crazy.
"The last general has no such plan," replied Wei Changfeng, "but the last general thinks that it is not feasible to send someone to General Zhu for help." ”
"What a fart you put on!" Sun Li was on fire on the side. He was arranged to defend the city, and there was no size in the battle of the serial village, but the enemy army was so big that he caught up with the city, and he was already on fire in his heart, before he accused Wei Changfeng of being a traitor, but instead let himself fall into a reputation of not knowing what to do, and having a small belly, and now I heard Wei Changfeng actually say that he couldn't ask General Zhu for help, and the new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, and finally he couldn't bear it, and "fart" again.
Zhao Zi'an waved his hand and stopped Sun Li, this time he wanted to listen carefully to Wei Changfeng's explanation. At least he understands now that there must be a reason why Wei Changfeng said something that is different from everyone's understanding, and it is good to listen to this reason, at least there is no harm.
Wei Changfeng ignored Sun Li and asked slowly: "General, you sent someone to General Zhu for help, thinking that you planned to defend Xingcheng first and wait for reinforcements, but with such a huge disparity, how long does the general think we can hold it?" ”
"When Ag's troops came to attack, we defended for a long time!" Sun Li interjected again on the side. Although Zhao Zi'an stopped him, it was Zhao Zi'an's move that made him unable to help it. He is a tooth general, and he reprimanded a military commander twice - oh, what is the chief now, once embarrassed, and now this time, he was actually stopped by General Zhao again, is it bearable, which is unbearable? So he didn't care if it would make Zhao Zi'an angry, so he interjected directly.
Of course, Zhao Zi'an was dissatisfied, after all, now he was the commander of the whole army, and Sun Li was not. But Sun Li is still his deputy general anyway, and he still has to get by in terms of face, so he didn't stop Sun Li this time, he didn't hear Sun Li's words, he just looked at Wei Changfeng and replied: "The limit can be held for three days, I thought." ”
Wei Changfeng nodded: "What the general said is extremely true. That's three days at most. Before we were able to defend it, because the opponent's strength was equal to ours, and they came in double the way, there was no siege equipment, now we only have 3,000 people, the enemy army has 50,000, and since it is the main force to attack the city, of course, the siege equipment is complete, even if they lack siege experience, we will defend it with all our might, and it is a fluke to be able to hold it for three days. ”
Seeing that General Zhao and Wei Changfeng didn't seem to hear him, Sun Shi's face flushed with anger for a while, and he snorted angrily and stopped speaking.
"Three days is enough for General Zhu to raise troops to help." Zhao Zi'an replied, but the confidence to speak was obviously insufficient.
"What if the enemy forces divide up and fight each other?" Wei Changfeng looked at Zhao Zi'an and asked, "With 20,000 people blocking reinforcements and 30,000 attacking the city, what should our army do?" ”
Zhao Zi'an was silent.
He also knew that there was such a possibility, and if General Zhu raised a large army to attack, the best way for the enemy army was to take Xingcheng, defend the city, and then fight with the Han army. After all, there are only 3,000 people in Xingcheng, and if they really hold it for three days, the rest of them are afraid that they won't be able to hold it for even a day. But what can he do?
"The last general thinks that he should retreat." Bai Qi said on the side.
Zhao Zi'an shook his head: "If you don't have a military order to abandon the city without permission, you and I will lose our heads." ”
Wei Changfeng looked at Zhao Zi'an and said softly: "If I were General Zhu, I am afraid that I would have already ordered the retreat of the Xingcheng defenders, and the last general guessed that the herald was already on the way, but if he had to wait for the herald to enter the city and then withdraw......" He did not continue.
Zhao Zi'an's heart was shocked. He understood what Wei Changfeng meant. Wei Changfeng was saying that if he retreated now, he might just run into the herald who was ordered to retreat by General Zhu, and if he waited for the herald to come and give the order before withdrawing, he was afraid that the enemy army had already surrounded Xingcheng and could not be withdrawn. Wei Changfeng's speculation is not unreasonable. If he was General Zhu, he would definitely order the defenders of Xingcheng to retreat. The previous assault on Jinzhou failed, the fighter plane had been lost, and there were only 10,000 people in Xingcheng, which could not stop the Donghu army at all, and no matter how idiotic General Zhu was, he would not fail to understand the reason that he should concentrate his troops first and then make plans. It's just that......
On the side, Sun Li sneered and spoke again: "No military order to retreat without authorization, even if it is a moment in advance, it is also a big crime to escape from the battle, who can guarantee that General Zhu will generously erase this early retreat time?" And how to ensure that you will meet the herald when you leave the city? How to ensure that the herald has a safe journey and gives the order to retreat without any delay? How do you make sure that the order is given exactly to retreat? There is no guarantee of one of these things, and we are killing ourselves! ”
General Zhang, who had been silent on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and said softly: "Now we are also killing ourselves." ”
Sun Li saw that General Zhao, Bai Dutong, and General Zhang Shen actually supported Wei Changfeng, and he couldn't hold his face anymore, so he snorted angrily and said: "In this case, let's discuss it slowly, I'm going to inspect the city defense!" "Just flick your sleeves and leave.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Bai Qi resumed the topic: "If you withdraw, you will die, and if you don't withdraw, you will die." ”
Although he didn't ask, the meaning was very clear, he wanted to ask Zhao Zi'an how to decide.
"We might as well withdraw first." General Zhang said, "In the current situation, General Zhu will understand the reason for our retreat." ”
Zhao Zi'an nodded first, shook his head again, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "The military order is like a mountain." ”
Several generals sighed secretly.
In this way, General Zhao decided to live and die with Xingcheng.
"The last general will organize manpower to strengthen the defense." Seeing that Zhao Zi'an has already decided, please order now.
"Wait a minute." Wei Changfeng suddenly spoke, he raised his head, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes, "Since withdrawing is also death, if you don't withdraw, you will die, so how about we change the way?" ”
