"Didn't leave the city?"

The moment he heard that "the Wei army did not go out of the city to set up the formation after noon", Gong Zhong's extravagant face changed color. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He mobilized his army and mobilized the people, and he was ready to break the formation in high spirits, but as a result, the Wei army became a defender of the city. Siege and battle formation are basically two interests. If it is a siege, Gong Zhongxuan is also not very sure.

But at this point he also seemed to understand something. From the beginning, the Wei army set up a formation to meet the enemy, in order to deliberately expose flaws and make themselves take it lightly.

The two armies fought, and the crossbowmen who appeared in the rear of the Wei army were only suspicious soldiers, not reinforcements from other places at all. In order to confuse oneself and evacuate on its own.

Then the formation was still to lure himself, and formed a flanking attack with the 6,000 soldiers of the weak guard. At this time, the troops could not be withdrawn, because Xiao Mu Feng's weak guards were exposed, and there was no point in arranging the formation again.

All of this is not so easy to achieve in terms of numbers, but if you use your brains and add a little other things, maybe this time the Wei army can still destroy their 60,000 foot soldiers like when they broke through Qin in the first battle of Linjin Pass.

Although this was only a hypothesis, an idea, although it was his extravagant and stubborn thinking that took this risky idea as a reality. But it's not impossible to extrapolate everything that's happened lately.

So if you really calculate according to your own idea, the Wei army at this time should be scared and have to defend the city.

According to intelligence, the Wei army before the war was about 60,000 soldiers. But there are obviously only 30,000 here, what about the rest of the soldiers?

The scouts came to report that no other Wei troops had been seen garrisoned thirty miles after Yicheng. Then another possibility is that the remaining 30,000 Wei troops are guarding the border of Zhao. Wu Ming, who has not appeared, may not be in the defenders of Yicheng at all, and he should face the Zhao army, which is much stronger than the Korean army.

According to Wu Ming's performance in the first war, he calculated step by step, this scene, one by one, is not inappropriate. On the contrary, it made Gong Zhong extravagant faintly feel that he had seen the light of day, and it was only at this time that he saw the situation clearly.

Although the idea of fighting with the Wei army outside the city failed, seeing all this, the siege may not be so difficult.

Thinking of this, Gong Zhong raised his left hand high, raised his voice to the highest, and for the first time since the expedition, he said with full of neutrality and confidence: "The whole army stops advancing, camps on the spot, and encircles the whole army with grain and grass." 5,000 soldiers were closely guarded, and the rest of the men and others hurried to make siege equipment and prepare for the siege. ”

"Yes." The two generals beside him gave a high answer, then turned their horses' heads and issued military orders to the whole army one after the other.

At a distance of fifteen miles, it can be said that his army has been completely monitored by the Wei army scouts, and the oxen and carriages of grain and grass are surrounded by soldiers of five thousand relatives, and no one is allowed to approach without the token of Gong Zhongxuan himself.

The rest of the army took materials on the spot, cut down nearby trees, and rushed to make siege equipment such as ladders and crashing wood.

Finally, it was no longer a matter of moving forward in the dark, and was led by the nose.

But in the face of the next siege, the pressure on Gong Zhongxuan's heart was even greater. How to take down Yicheng and break the Wei army with fewer casualties in one go will be the most important point.

If there are too many casualties among the infantry, even if the Yicheng march is broken at this time, it will be the same, and there is little hope.

Precious time passes with modest voices.

Han Ju stayed in Zhengcheng for four days in a row, but he didn't have much way to go, and in the end he only raised 500 stone of grain and grass, which was a drop in the bucket, and it was nothing for an army of more than 50,000.

Helpless, Han Ju could only enter the royal city and inform Han Zhaohou of the matter.

Early the next morning.

Zheng Cheng's court meeting. After the courtiers arrived, Han Zhaohou came directly to the court without the slightest delay.

"Wait, meet your lordship." As Han Zhaohou stepped up the steps step by step and walked onto the main seat, all the courtiers in the court bowed.

"Everyone, please be exempt." Han Zhaohou stretched out his hand and looked around. His gaze swept quickly over the faces.

deliberately wanted to cut down Wei, but the army went out to fight, and there was no result, but part of the grain and grass were burned. Han Zhaohou, who heard the news, was undoubtedly resentful.

Grain and herbs were originally supplied by the Qin State, and at this moment, the army was in urgent need of grain and grass, and it was really not good for South Korea to have them all for a while. But the swords are already out of their sheaths, so what's the difference between not wielding them a few times and not wielding them.

So in today's court, Han Zhaohou put aside everything else and went straight to the topic, "Ladies and gentlemen, the army is conquering, and victory is already expected, but now it is facing the problem of lack of food and grass. If any of you have a way, tell me about it. ”

Not surprisingly, no one in the palace answered at all.

From the moment they heard the word "grain and grass", they were already in agreement until what to do. It's like the army saw the Lingqi, and it was very tacit.

"Shen Xiangguo, since no one is willing to stand up, the widow can only name him. Let's talk about it first. Han Zhaohou's gaze looked at Shen Buxian and asked lightly.

Everyone knows that Han Zhaohou's face is quite safe at this moment, and the anger in his heart is still suppressed. It was also until if Shen Buxian could solve the problem, then Han Zhaohou's anger would be extinguished before it burned.

But if it can't, this anger will increase by one point, every time one person asks, every one more person says no, then Han Zhaohou's anger will become bigger and bigger, and in the end, maybe he will scold this courtier of the Manchu Dynasty.

All eyes were on Shen Buxian's body at this moment.

The corners of his mouth showed a slight wry smile, Shen Buxian gently shook his sleeves twice, stepped out to the side in one step, and arched his hand: "Go back to the king, everything has gains and losses, and I hope you will think twice." ”

Think twice again! Almost all the courtiers just thought twice at every turn, and Han Zhaohou, who was already anxious, could hardly listen to a word.

But for the courtiers, since they are willing to come forward to say it, it means that eighty percent of them are willing to resist this tricky matter.

"Aiqing has nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as it can solve the urgent need, don't say anything else." When he said this, the helplessness on his face had increased a little.

"In recent years, there has been no war or natural disaster in the western part of Korea, and the king can order the collection of grain and grass. In addition, he ordered the army to compete for food against the Wei people on the border of Wei. ”

The voice paused abruptly at this point. Then Gong Zhong buried his head a little deeper, "This method can only be needed for a while. The pace of the army's attack should be accelerated. ”

……

Han was not allowed to go to the court, so he didn't know about the affairs of the court.

On the fifth day, Hanju, who really couldn't raise anything, could only return to the barracks with the five hundred stone grain and grass, and in any case, the final result must be notified to the army as soon as possible, so that Gong Zhong could be prepared in advance.

In the afternoon of this day, when Han Ju arrived at the barracks, it was already the afternoon of the eighth day of the army's expedition.
