Chapter 412: Tongguan fights again
Guo Jia didn't want to throw away the lives of 10,000 soldiers like that, but if he wanted to take Tongguan, this was already the lowest price.
Before, the Yizhou army stormed Tongguan for more than ten days, although the loss of soldiers was lost, but there were still more than 100,000 soldiers. With so many soldiers, as long as the guards of Tongguan didn't draw their brains, it was impossible for them to take the initiative to attack.
However, if the defenders of Tongguan do not go out of the pass and just hold on, it is very likely that the Yizhou army will lose tens of thousands of corpses again, and then find nothing.
After all, the imperial army's army is not limited to this little person in Tongguan. It's been such a long time, if you want to say that there are no reinforcements in Tongguan, he won't believe it if he kills Guo Jia. Not to mention, if the army of Hangu Pass wants to aid Tongguan, it will only be two days at most.
In this case, the long pain is better than the short pain, and the 10,000 troops are directly fed into the mouths of the Tongguan defenders. Since it's fishing, it's natural that you can't give up a little bait.
"Military division, if there are only 10,000 soldiers to attack Tongguan, I'm afraid it will ......" Ma Chao looked embarrassed at this time and looked at Guo Jia. At this moment, Ma Chao was even about to say that he had to retire.
It's just that Guo Jia also wants to let Ma Chao understand at this time that as a prince, no matter what decision he makes, he will have to bear the corresponding price.
Guo Jia looked at Ma Chao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, but his expression did not change at all. "As a prince, since the lord has made a decision, how can he modify it at will?"
When Ma Chao saw Guo Jia say this, he could only shut his mouth stupidly. Guo Jia's temper, he knows. Although Guo Jia looks gentle and gentle on weekdays, once he loses his donkey temper, even Ma Chao is a little unbearable.
"In that case. Then I'll make preparations early, and the military advisor will go back to rest first. After hearing Guo Jia say this, Ma Chao could only pout, and sure enough, it was still the same.
Guo Jia was back in Yizhou. I noticed that Ma Chao often takes things seriously, so I don't know how many times I mentioned it. It's just that every time Guo Jia finishes speaking, Ma Chao will promise to be good, but after that, he should be confused or continue to be confused.
If only before. Anyway, there is a father's feud that inspires Ma Chao. But since Ma Chao killed Yuan Shao and Han Sui, he has been a little ignorant of Guo Jia's mention.
However, Guo Jia doesn't mind Ma Chao being like this. Anyway, when the time comes, Ma Chao will always have to find himself to give advice, when the time comes. It would be nice to teach Ma Chao a lesson. And this time, it's one of those lessons.
10,000 soldiers, don't look at Ma Chao who doesn't care now, but when these people really fall in front of Ma Chao's eyes, Ma Chao should have a long memory.
A general, especially a good general, is like a friend to a soldier. It is Wu Wuqi, who killed his wife and begged for generals in the Spring and Autumn Period. When dealing with his own soldiers, he can share weal and woe, and even suck abscesses for his own soldiers.
Guo Jia didn't believe it. Ma Chao could look at his decision ruthlessly, but the fallen soldier did not react.
In Tongguan, Ye Mo guessed what Guo Jia might do next.
Although Ye Mo didn't know much about Guo Jia, from the perspective of a top strategist, withdrawing troops was the best choice for the Yizhou Army.
But the Yizhou army never withdrew. That's what makes it interesting.
One qiē can only show that the chief general of the Yizhou army has not given up on Tongguan. And as far as Ye Mo knows, the generals in Yizhou. Ma Chao himself can influence Guo Jia's decision-making.
Since Ma Chao wants to intervene in such a hand, then Ye Mo is also sure. The Yizhou army will also launch an attack on Tongguan. It's just that if the next attack is a little bigger, those soldiers of the Yizhou Army will definitely withdraw decisively.
You must know that the best way to capture a pass, in addition to a surprise attack, is to lure the defenders out of the pass.
And this season, coupled with the danger of Tongguan's geographical location, Ye Mo wished that the Yizhou army would choose such a road as a surprise attack. It's just that I can only think about it.
As for luring the defenders of Tongguan out, Ye Mo was even less worried. If you want to catch a big fish, you should give a good bait anyway.
As for Ye Mo's decision to take the bait at that time, it depends on whether the bait given by the Yizhou Army is enough.
……
Waiting until the next morning, the Yizhou army, which had been silent for several days, finally moved again. It's just that compared to the previous formation of more than 100,000 soldiers, this time there were only 10,000 Yizhou troops, which seemed a little bit of a small fight.
It's just that this little fight is also relative to the more than 100,000 Yizhou soldiers and soldiers before. These 10,000 people are really placed under Tongguan, which is quite spectacular.
"My lord, it seems that the state army is going to start tackling key problems again." Since Ye Mo's arrival, the Yizhou army has stopped tackling key problems. After these days, the Yizhou army finally moved, and Lu Yi looked at the Yizhou army under the gate at this time, and even felt quite kind.
But it's also true, if a large number of people suddenly appear in front of someone's house, and then they don't leave, and they don't knock on the door, anyone will panic.
Ye Mo smiled after hearing Ko Yi's words, and then looked at the rolling stones, sassal wood, giant shields and other city defense equipment that had been prepared on the wall, and his heart became even more stable.
The elite of these Yizhou troops will definitely not exceed half. Ye Mo looked at the Yizhou troops under the gate, and directly made a judgment in his heart.
Of course, Ye Mo's judgment was not just seen after a glance, but based on Ye Mo's previous judgment on Guo Jia's plan.
"When the Yizhou army attacks, you must remember to take it easy, don't beat the Yizhou army at once." At this time, Ye Mo did not forget to remind Liyi and the others that since the Yizhou Army gave the bait, it was not good not to accept it.
When Li Yi and the others heard Ye Mo's words, although they were a little puzzled, they didn't say anything. However, after Fa Zheng listened to Ye Mo's words, he looked at the more than 800 soldiers who had gathered at the gate of the gate, but he thought of something.
After the Yizhou soldiers outside the pass gathered, they did not come forward to call for battle, but directly sent a thousand soldiers, holding a huge shield and carrying a cloud ladder, to start attacking Tongguan.
And because the defenders above Tongguan obeyed Ye Mo's orders, they didn't even shoot many arrows, so the soldiers of the Yizhou Army easily put the ladder on the wall of Tongguan.
Ma Chao, who was outside the gate, saw that this attack was so smooth, and he didn't react for a while. The garrison of Tongguan is so sparse. Looking at it like this, it seems that it is not particularly difficult for these 10,000 people to take Tongguan.
And Guo Jia always felt that something was not quite right after seeing the soldiers of the Yizhou Army climb the wall of Tongguan so easily. Could it be that the Han Dynasty has already given up Tongguan?
But if you think about it, you know that it is impossible. As long as there are still people in the Ye family who are officials in the imperial court, it is impossible to sit back and watch Tongguan fall.
Moreover, this time, the Yizhou army sent out is just some old and weak, when will these soldiers be able to play such a strong battle?
Ma Chao watched a famous soldier climb the wall of Tongguan, and his heart suddenly became excited. Immediately, Ma Chao sent two more thousand-strong teams to continue to attack Tongguan, in a vain attempt to take Tongguan in one fell swoop.
"Lord, there must be something strange in this, and the lord must not be moved lightly." Guo Jia saw that Ma Chao was a little eager to try, and immediately reminded him.
At this time, Ma Chao did have the idea of going into battle in person. It's just that as soon as Guo Jia opened his mouth at this time, Ma Chao still forced himself to suppress that restless mood.
It's just that although Ma Chao temporarily stopped the restlessness in his heart, the excitement in his eyes became more and more intense.
On top of Tongguan, Ye Mo watched two thousand more people rushing towards Tongguan, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. (To be continued)
