Chapter 119: Clever Scheme
Hearing Jia Hanqing's words, Fang Junchi also had a hint of unnaturalness on his face, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "This, this is impossible, you know, they have 30,000 horses, in addition, this Yuan Zongdi is also a famous general in the army, so he won't be so unbeaten!" ”
"Who knows, just looking at this posture, even if the Dashun army does not retreat now, it is estimated that they are weighing the pros and cons, so we still have to think of a way to make them stick to their determination to attack us." Jia Hanqing said.
Late at night, in the Dashun military camp outside Yulin City, the soldiers had already fallen asleep early, but Yuan Zongdi, who was sitting in the big tent, couldn't sleep, and the scene under Yulin City today made him still a little surprised in his heart, although he was shocked, but he still had to find a way to knock down this Yulin anyway.
It's just that I've been sitting in the middle of the night, all kinds of ways have been exhausted, but none of them can be used, and now Yulin is like a hedgehog with thorns all the time, and there is only one way to get rid of the hedgehog's thorns, and that is to smash him away with a strong force, but this is what Yuan Zongdi lacks the most now.
Annoyed, the more Yuan Zongdi thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he wanted to take a big knife and kill it wantonly, but unfortunately, he was destined to fail to realize this wish.
Just when Yuan Zongdi was helpless, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw a general walking quickly.
"Good news, good news, good news, good news!" The general saw Yuan Zongdi who was circling in the middle of the big tent, and immediately shouted with joy on his face.
"What good news, is the king conquering another big city, or is it some Ming army commander surrendering again, what kind of good news can this be, when will it be good news when the king has conquered Beijing City." Yuan Zongdi, who was upset, heard the words of the general, and said with a sad face on his face.
"No, no, no, it's not the king's news, it's ours, it's the news about Yulin City, I mean we can break through Yulin City." When the general heard Yuan Zongdi's words, he immediately hurriedly explained.
"Oh, from Yulin City, say it quickly, say it quickly, what good news, is there someone preparing to surrender to us?" Hearing the news that it was Yulin City, Yuan Zongdi immediately asked eagerly.
"Ah, my lord, here's the thing, just now our patrol team, when we were exploring Yulin City, we saw a team of dozens of people, taking advantage of the dark, sneaked out of Yulin City, at the beginning, our spies thought that Yulin City was preparing to attack our army camp at night.
But what I didn't expect was that these people were not soldiers, but they were all dressed as ordinary people, there were men and women, after leaving the city, these people hurriedly fled north, our spies felt strange and secretly caught them all, unexpectedly, lightly interrogated, these people all spoke. The general said this, and as soon as he stopped, he heard Yuan Zongdi hurriedly ask
"Say, quickly, what did these people say, could it be that something happened in Yulin City."
Hearing Yuan Zongdi's urging, the general hurriedly continued, "Yes, my lord's guess is right, it turns out that before our army besieged the city, Shi Lei, the county commander in Yulin City, led the troops out, saying that he went to Yanmen Pass, and now he has not returned, and then, after our army pressed the border, the city was divided into two factions, one faction is dominated by a person named Jia Hanqing, they are mainly civil officials in the city, and the other faction is the confidant of the county commander Shi Lei, called what Fang Junchi.
The two factions have been arguing endlessly, Jia Hanqing's faction wants to sneak attack us, but that Fang Junchi faction has military power, no matter how they disagree, not only that, but he also wantonly recruited people in the city, and also levied some security silver from some wealthy merchants, and at the same time trumpeted what 'the city is in the people, and the city is lost'.
Now the entire Yulin City can be regarded as panicked and panicked, and those people are a rich family, they are afraid that they will be burned because of Fang Junchi's madness, so after bribing the soldiers guarding the city with a large number of silver taels, they secretly escaped with the whole family tonight, but they were caught by us. ”
After listening to the words of the partial general, Yuan Zongdi's heart finally relaxed, and he finally got a little good news overnight, although this alone is not able to capture Yulin City in one fell swoop, but as long as he knows that the city is not single-minded, then there are many articles that can be used.
Seeing the expression on Yuan Zongdi's face, the general continued, "My lord, there is even better news, that is, according to those who escaped, there is not much food in the city, and if nothing else, they will not last for a month at all. ”
"What, how is this possible, this is not possible at all, you know, at that time, they got a lot of food from Niu Dilu, even if they used it, they would not have it in such a short time, I think, those people will not be spies." Yuan Zongdi suddenly said with a face full of disbelief.
"Yes, my lord, I didn't believe it at first, but after I interrogated it carefully, I had to believe it, my lord, do you know how many people are in this Yulin City now." The general said.
"How many people, how many people can there be, such a small city, the top of the sky is nothing more than more than 100,000 people, how can it be, is there anything strange about this?" Yuan Zongdi asked.
"Hey, my lord, you must not believe it when I say it, according to those people, since the county order Shi Lei came to Yulin, he has wantonly recruited displaced people, and then, the whole of Shaanxi has caused some landlords and rich families to abandon their homes and go north because of our Dashun army, in a short period of time, the population of this small Yulin city has reached more than 300,000, you say, so many people, they have more food, how can they have enough to eat?" The general said.
"What, with a population of more than 300,000, how is this possible, Xijing, as a big city with a large number in the west, is now less than 500,000 people, how can there be so many people in a small Yulin City, is that Shi Lei crazy?" Although Yuan Zongdi said so, he already believed the news of the lack of food in Yulin City in his heart.
'Man is iron, food is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. No matter how tall the walls of Yulin City are, no matter how powerful his weapons are, but the premise of all this is to rely on people to use, if there is no food, all this is the moon in the mirror, the flowers in the water, and the destruction of Yulin is just around the corner.
After figuring this out, Yuan Zong changed his sorrow for the first time, and said excitedly, "Okay, good, good, it seems that God still favors me Dashun Country and Yuan Zongdi, such an unsolvable situation can give me the opportunity to turn over."
Come, give the order to go down, and from tomorrow onwards, all parts will attack in batches. Isn't it just a month, I can afford it, even if it's a year, I can afford to wait, it's best to wait until the king captures Beijing City and dominates the world, I don't believe that I can't take your small Yulin City. ”
In the early morning of the next day, under the arrangement of Yuan Zongdi, the army of 30,000 was divided into ten teams, and each time the two teams attacked Yulin City and Xiaocheng respectively, of course, this momentum was much weaker than the feeling of the army pressing the border, especially when grenades were not used in Yulin City, these soldiers of the Dashun Army who besieged the city suffered few casualties.
"Hahaha, great, Lord Jia, there is really you, I didn't expect your idea to really work, look at this Dashun army, this is like a siege, is it clearly acting? But that's good, it's also good for us, so that these boys who haven't been on the battlefield can experience what the battlefield is, although compared to those really brutal battles, these are like children playing at home, but with these experiences, at least they won't pee their pants on the battlefield in the future. ”
Standing on top of the city, looking at the somewhat false attack of the Dashun army below, Fang Junchi said with a smile.
Hearing Fang Junchi's words, Jia Hanqing snorted and said, "Hmph, what is the idea of, I am one of the thirty-six tricks of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, not to mention Yuan Zongdi's reckless man, even if you definitely can't see it, hey, by the way, you are only defending with bows and arrows every day, instead of grenades, will it arouse Yuan Zongdi's suspicions." ”
"Hahaha, Lord Jia, I admit that I am indeed inferior to you in terms of strategy, but in this leading army to fight, you are not as good as us rough people, I am also a ploy, I want to capture the past, if we keep using grenades, then no matter what happens in our city, Yuan Zongdi may really turn around and leave when he is not able to attack our Yulin City.
But now I just use ordinary bows and crossbows, arrows against the enemy, will make him think that our grenades are very cherished things, in this case, with the strategy you used, he has enough determination to capture our Yulin City, as long as he has the determination in his heart, then we can keep him here, otherwise, he is really gone, and our hard work will be in vain. Fang Junchi said with a smile.
"Hey, it's better to be like this, otherwise, we will become sinners through the ages, if this plan can really be realized, then it will be the blessing of our Han people and the entire Ming people, if we fail because of our reasons, even if we die ten thousand times, it will be difficult to wash away the sins on our bodies!" Jia Hanqing's eyes crossed the attack of the Dashun army under the city, and looked into the distance with longing.
