Chapter 364: Secret Weapon
Front-line barracks.
Since Wang Xu returned to the Western Capital, Sun Yu and Han Shushu made an offensive against those camps on the way to Suoyang City, in order not to expose their strength early, the two still took a steady and steady way, resolutely did not use secret weapons, and if they could avoid attacking the village, they would not attack the village, and lead the enemy out of the gate of the village, and then destroy it.
In the past 20 days, the camps taken have all been completed by Zheng Li's 50,000 siege elites, and the credit is not small.
In twenty days, the military camp moved forward eighty miles, and now in front of it is Suoyang City, where Ao Yuntian is located, and everyone is encamped, waiting for orders.
How to attack Suoyang City still has to be discussed by Han Shushu and Sun Yu.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Yu sat on the handsome seat, Han calligraphy and painting were erected beside him, and the rest of the generals were arranged on both sides and obeyed the dispatch.
Sun Yu looked at everyone and said, "During the time when King Wen returned to the Western Capital, we have captured six camps and moved the battle line forward for eighty miles, but at the same time, the enemy is also fully prepared in Suoyang City, and the emperor has added 300,000 soldiers and horses to Ao Yuntian. ”
"That is to say, at this moment, there are a total of 450,000 elite members of the imperial court stationed in Suoyang City and the military camp in the eastern area of Suoyang City, and we only have less than 200,000 horses on our hands."
"How we should fight next, we have to discuss carefully."
Zheng Li's face turned bitter: "General, my subordinates have been attacking the city for several days, and more than half of them have been killed and wounded. ”
Sun Yu nodded, Zheng Li's 50,000 siege elites are now less than 30,000, and it is definitely not good to fight against the solid Suoyang City, precisely because of this. He gathered everyone together and discussed a plan.
If the fight continues like this, once the loss of troops is too large, the imperial court soldiers and horses will take advantage of the situation to fight back. It is very likely that the army of the Western Capital will be in trouble, and it is possible that the cities it has captured before will be lost.
It was quiet in the big tent, everyone was thinking hard, and Han Shushu suddenly said: "I think." It's time to use the secret weapon. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement, but Sun Yu was puzzled: "Isn't this revealing your strength in advance, what if the imperial capital strengthens its defenses?" This will be particularly detrimental to our future wars. ”
Han Shushu smiled: "Whether we should use it or not depends on how much benefit we get; If we can completely wipe out the Aoyuntian Legion and annihilate the 450,000 army of the imperial court, then expose it and let the enemy see our true strength! ”
"Again. We don't need to attack the Imperial Capital anymore, I already have a better strategy to get the enemy to take the initiative to give the Imperial Capital to us. When he said this, Han Shushu showed a cruel smile on his face.
Take the initiative to give up the imperial capital? How can it be? Everyone doesn't believe it, what is the imperial capital, it is the old nest of the imperial court, the tiger is in all directions, it is extremely strong, if there are 500,000 soldiers in the imperial capital, the enemy will be difficult to capture even if there are millions of soldiers and horses, will the imperial court really take the initiative to let it out?
"What kind of strategy?" Zheng Li asked curiously.
Korean calligraphy and painting are best sold guanzi. Of course, he wouldn't say it now, he just shook his head: "Don't say it, wait until we defeat Aoyuntian, and then implement that plan." ”
Sun Yu has always believed in Korean calligraphy and painting. Since Han Shushu had already said this, he immediately said: "Okay, since this is the case, I will ask the military advisor to give an order and order the next battle." ”
.........
If you can use secret weapons, the battle becomes extremely simple. Today, there are tens of thousands of clay pots in the front-line barracks, which is enough to destroy any enemy!
What's more, the two of them still have 200,000 troops in their hands!
...............
A new day.
Suoyang City Mansion Hall.
When the reinforcements from the imperial court arrived, Ao Yuntian's body had completely recovered, and he regained his strength and began to command the army to do various garrison work.
Now, Suoyang City is under direct martial law, and all personnel are not allowed to enter or leave, including the people.
There are 20,000 defenders on the four walls, and there will definitely be no surprise when they are beaten.
Ao Yuntian looked at the dozens of generals sitting in the hall, and said: "This general has been wondering, the enemy obviously has a very powerful weapon, but he just doesn't need it. ”
"In the past half a month, Sun Yu has only advanced eighty miles, and the soldiers who attacked the city have lost a lot, I will not understand, there is that kind of weapon, why don't you use it?"
Dou Qing smiled: "Isn't it better, now, our reinforcements have arrived, and we are no longer afraid of their attacks, even if we want to fight a decisive battle, we are also victorious!" ”
Wang Ye thought for a while and said, "There must be demons when things are impermanent; They would rather lose their forces than use that kind of weapon, there are only two possibilities. ”
"First, their kind of weapon may no longer be there, or it may have lost its effectiveness."
"Second, compared with the former, I believe more that they should have some conspiracy, wanting to play a decisive role at a critical time and catch us off guard."
Wang Ye's words reminded everyone, Ao Yuntian said: "What Wang Junshi said is right, we must be more careful, the garrison of the city must be done well, and they must not be allowed to have a chance." ”
...............
The night was pitch black.
The military camp on the east side of Suoyang City.
There are 300,000 troops stationed here, all of which are soldiers and horses added to him by the imperial court later, with a total of 150,000 horse troops and 150,000 infantry troops.
The military camp stretched for hundreds of miles, all the way in the direction of the imperial capital.
Outside the barracks, there is a mysterious army marching at this moment, about 20,000 people, they are slow, they have no armor, and they don't make any sound when they walk.
"General Zheng, we only have 20,000 people, can we defeat the enemy?"
While advancing, a soldier asked Zheng Li on the side, Zheng Li has been fighting for days, and now there are 20,000 people left, and he has already decided to fight to the death with the enemy this time!
If he can defeat the enemy's 300,000 army in one battle, the merit is huge, enough to become the first merit of this eastern crusade, maybe even Fukangan's military achievements are not as great as his.
And then there is, looking at the examples of the past dynasties, who can defeat 300,000 elite soldiers with 20,000 troops? This is enough to become a celebrity for eternity, and it has become a famous example in history of winning more with less, and this temptation is too big for a general.
"Of course we can, when we go around to the east of the enemy and block their retreat, then we can clean them up properly, this time, we can only succeed, not fail!"
The soldier grinned: "Hehe, okay, let's give him a big bag this time." ”
Since getting the strategy mentioned by Han Shuhua, Zheng Li is full of confidence, and at the same time, he is also very excited, a big war is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
