Chapter 67: Post-War Contingency
The generals of the Yuan army in the hall couldn't help but feel their hearts when they saw that Bald Jian Buhua's face was gloomy and his smile was infiltrating. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a few breaths, Shodgrad came out and admonished: "Lord Guard, although our army was defeated in today's battle, it was not defeated without a bright spot. The combat power of the Colored Eyes Guard is unparalleled, with its incomparable combat power to have fewer enemies, if it is not for the thief will sneak attack the town guard, then the victorious one may be our army! ”
"At present, our army still has nearly 20,000 horses, which is twice as many as the thieves, and there is still the strength of a battle, tomorrow the town guard can watch the battle at the head of the city, and I and General Wuliang will lead the troops out of the city, our army will be the backbone of the unparalleled color eye guard, plus the thieves can not threaten the town guard, and they will be able to win in one battle!"
Shodgrad is the only general in the Yuan army who is not depressed, but full of excitement and hatred, Qiyan Wuji once saved his life on the battlefield, the two are inexorable, like brothers, and now Qiyan Wuji is dead, he is like a brother who died, and the grief in his heart is no less than that of Bald Jian.
When Wuliang Harisu heard this, he hurriedly retorted: "General Xiao De's words are inappropriate, the morale of the soldiers is low at the moment, and it is really not suitable to go out of the city to fight. Moreover, Chuzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city is ten zhang high, and there are moats on all sides of the city gates, which can be described as iron and copper walls, solid as gold, if our army is based on the city and defends, then the thieves will only have one way to storm the city! ”
"The thieves are only about 10,000 people, and our army still has 20,000 troops, plus the city is young and strong, it is easy to gather 30,000 defenders, if the thieves attack Chuzhou City, then, their forces will be quickly consumed, and when they are consumed, the town guard can launch a thunder offensive and eliminate the thieves in a battle!"
Bald Jian frowned, and repeatedly considered the words of Shodegrad and Uliang Harisu in his heart, and for a while, he hesitated.
"General Wuliang's words are wrong, from ancient times to the present, there are not a few forces that have been destroyed by sitting on a strong city, when they know for a long time, the people's hearts and the army's minds will change, if you don't seize the opportunity to fight to the death with the thieves, and wait for the soldiers to despair, everything will be over!"
"General Xiao De's words are really alarmist, although our army has been defeated for a while, but it has not yet reached the point of burning brows, if we mess with our own positions, won't we bring about our own destruction!!"
"Hmph, hum, I think General Wuliang is afraid of being killed by thieves, cowardly, if General Wuliang wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, why bother to find so many excuses!!"
In the lobby, Shodegrad and Uliang Harisu quarreled with each other, and their faces were red, and the bald and stubborn ones who were originally irritable became more and more confused, and their whole heads seemed to explode.
"Noise, shut up for me!!"
Bald Jian drank without a hurry, Shodegrad and Wuliang Harisu stopped, Bald Jian's eyes were cold, and his face was extremely ugly, at this time, all the generals turned their eyes to him, waiting for his choice.
"Today, our army was defeated for a while, and the general Qiyan was defeated, and the morale was greatly damaged, it is not appropriate to send troops to fight immediately, pass on my order, the whole army will rest for three days, and at the same time strengthen the defense of Chuzhou City, whether to attack or defend, wait for three days, I will make a decision!"
Bald Jian didn't dazzle his eyes and narrowed slightly, and said coldly, when Xiao Degrad heard this decision, his expression couldn't help but change, and he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Guard...... town"
"Shut up! Shodgrad, I know that you and Qiyan Uji are brothers and sisters, and they are eager for revenge, but you are a general in the army, how can you be carried away by anger, this matter is so decided, and it must not be discussed again, okay, I need to be quiet, to think about how to repel the thieves, you all retreat!! ”
Bald Jian Buhua said majestically in a tone that could not be resisted, and Shodegrad took a deep breath and glared at Urliang Harisu fiercely, but Urliang Harisu turned a blind eye.
When the generals left the hall one after another, their bald eyes opened suddenly, and their faces instantly became extremely hideous, and they muttered six words over and over again, 'Thief! Child! Force! Person! Too! Extremely! ’。
At the same time, an idea that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly came out of his mind, maybe it was really time to make a decision in three days!
At the time of the second watch, in Deng Yu's Chinese army tent, Li Ke and Deng Yu were discussing the strategy of breaking the city, only to hear Li Ke ask suspiciously: "Marshal, Ke has a puzzle, the height of the city wall of Chuzhou City is ten zhang, and the moat is wide, and there are many defenders, it can be said that it is impregnable, why does the Yuan army not defend the city, but give up the advantage to take the initiative to attack?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Ke seemed to think of something, and continued: "Wait, today Bal Jian didn't spend all the troops in the city to set up a battle, it seems that he wanted to fight to the death with our army, but later something happened, he withdrew his troops back to the city in advance, could it be that Bal Jian didn't have the intention of fighting to the death in the first place?" ”
Deng Yu's face was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly said: "What Yunqi said makes sense, Bald Jian doesn't bother to know that he will lose if he defends for a long time, so he gathers his forces and wants to fight a decisive battle with our army, if he wins, he will recover the lost territory, and if he is defeated, he will choose the opportunity to escape!" ”
"Bald Jian Buhua is just a powerful son who is used to living a smooth life, he is cowardly and afraid of death, it is impossible to make a feat of fighting to the death, and he still has tens of thousands of horses, he is not in a desperate situation at all, he can choose to break through, take refuge in the sharp edge, and then use the hand of the detachment to deal with us!"
In the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people who could sit on the land of several cities were not simple, maybe he did not have the ability to govern, maybe he did not know military affairs, maybe he did not understand power and strategy, but there was always a commendable place.
Just like Bald Jian Buhua let Cui Mingyuan fight against the Broken Army alone, on the surface, it seems that Bald Jian Buhua and Cui Mingyuan are fighting among themselves, but Bald Jian Buhua really hopes that Cui Mingyuan can consume a lot of the strength of the Broken Army, and when the Goryeo Army and the Broken Army are both defeated, he will make a move.
It's just that the battle situation has changed, because of Cui Mingyuan's ignorance and recklessness, he buried 15,000 soldiers and horses prematurely, which made the situation worse, and even lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses without spending money.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside Deng Yu's tent, only to see Lu Zhen hurriedly come to see, Deng Yu recruited him, after the ceremony, Lu Zhen hurriedly admonished: "Bald Jian may have to escape, I hope the handsome man will prepare early!" ”
Deng Yu and Li Ke glanced at each other, both of them looked surprised, and then the two laughed heartily almost at the same time: "Hahaha, it's really the same thing that heroes see!! ”
When Lu Zhen heard this, he also knew that Deng Yu and Li Ke must have thought of this layer, and the three of them began to discuss the countermeasures if they abandoned the city and fled!
In the next few days, the Yuan army in Chuzhou City did not take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and the Broken Army did not launch an offensive, but Deng Yu and Li Ke were quite busy, they kept wandering around the prisoner camp, looking for Yuan army prisoners to talk to, and seemed to be picking someone.
