Returning to the camp, Chu Haoyu directly found a quiet place to heal, without asking about the fierce battle ahead. There is really no need for Chu Haoyu to worry about it, Luo Shiyi, Fang Lin, and Chen Dingyuan are all famous generals who can lead the army, as well as Cheng Lianshan, Zhou Min and other fierce generals in the world, plus hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but it is really necessary to have generals and soldiers, coupled with the strategy of the prince Chu Yuanbo to fill the city, twenty days have passed, and the emur that once stood majestically is now only a zhang high, like a small earthen building.

When the sun set on this day, the Great Chu army, which had been attacking for a day, finally retreated, but Demutu did not have any joy, but there was a gloom on his face that could not be concealed. However, after more than a month, Demutu's broad forehead was already full of wrinkles, and his burly body was also a little rickety, and he seemed to be more than ten years old. At this moment, not only Demutu, but also the generals behind him also had undisguised worry on their faces.

In the silence, a slightly obese general strode up to the city tower, who is it not the right banner commander Hogley? It's just that at this moment, the smile on Hegley's face is gone, his sunken eyes are cold, and the bloodstained armor is even more dignified and murderous. Walking in front of Demutu, Hogley bowed down and said: "Marshal Qiyu, 4,000 were killed today, more than 1,000 elites of the Right Banner, and General Bayin was also cut off by his head. At this point, the corners of Hogley's mouth twitched, and then he added: "Today it has been filled in a lot higher, and only zhang high is left." ”

I heard that Umut was only a foot tall, and the corners of Demutu's mouth also twitched, this height, not to mention martial arts masters, ordinary people can climb up, and the number of dead soldiers is also increasing day by day. Taking a deep breath to stabilize his mind, Demutu looked at a strong man beside him, opened his mouth and asked, "No news yet?" ”

The strong man did not wear armor, because he was not a general, but a spy of the wind guard, and he was fierce. Since Umut was surrounded by the Great Chu army, Demutu could only get news of the Golden Horde from Fengwei.

Under the gaze of everyone, Tu Yan said in a deep voice: "The last news came was ten days ago, General Gudun led a team of elites to turn into horse thieves as a front army and rushed to Umut, and then there was no news. ”

Everyone had known the news for a long time, so when they heard it, instead of any excitement, there was endless anger. For more than a month, the Great Chu army could not pass through the water of the Umut Siege, and even the news could not be transmitted, and they were a group of men who were accustomed to the grassland, not to mention beating horses and galloping, and now they could only be beaten passively, how could they not be angry.

Hearing the news again, Demutu was also gloomy in his heart. I got the news ten days ago, but I haven't been able to see the figure of Gudun until now, I'm afraid it's more than lucky.

At this moment, Nari Su opened his mouth and said: "Dashuai, the Great Khan said that it was in early June, but we can't wait any longer. Now the city wall is only zhang high, and at this speed, at most two days, Da Chu can leap at the head of the city, when the time comes, our army is far less than Da Chu, the situation is not good! ”

Looking at Na Risu, Demutu opened his mouth and asked, "Then do you have a way to deal with it?" ”

After staring at Demutu for a moment, Nari Su said in a deep voice: "Attack." ”

Suddenly, the generals' hearts were shocked, and Na Risu continued: "My steppe Erlang is a warrior on horseback, and he is not good at defending the city, and now, since Umut has been filled in into a flat river, why don't we take the initiative to attack?" Moreover, Chen Dingyuan was bent on attacking the city, and he definitely never thought that we would take the initiative to attack, and we would attack him by surprise. ”

After listening to what Nari Su said, the generals couldn't help but shout: "Commander, give the order, the last general will be the first to charge." This battle is really aggrieved. ”

In an instant, several generals saluted in unison: "Please give the order!" ”

Glancing at the generals, Demutu sighed in his heart, but before he could speak, there was a whining horn, which was hurried and dull. This is the signal of the Great Chu attacking the city, and suddenly, Demutu's face had a trace of coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "That day Su, you go to the other three gates to select five thousand elites, have a full meal and have a good rest, once Chen Dingyuan retreats, immediately rush forward." ”

Bowing down, Su said in a deep voice: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

In the camp in front of the Northwest Frontier Army, Chen Dingyuan was looking at the map intently. This is a detailed map of the city defense of Umut, marking every street, especially where the Right Banner military camp is located. At this moment, no matter how hot it was outside the tent, there was a dead silence inside the big tent. Suddenly, someone opened the curtain and walked in.

Chen Dingyuan is a veteran of a hundred battles, and when he noticed the change, he immediately turned around, and when he saw the comer, he immediately bowed: "I've seen the handsome!" ”

The person who came was Luo Shiyi and Luo Dashuai, but thinking about it, there were really few people who dared to enter Chen Dingyuan's big tent without going through the ceremony at this time.

Waving his hand to signal Chen Dingyuan's excuse for salute, Luo Shiyi walked to the table and watched the defense map of the city of Wumut. After watching for a moment, Luo Shiyi suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth to ask, "How many days will you be able to rush to the city tower?" ”

Looking at Luo Shiyi, Chen Dingyuan opened his mouth and replied: "Two days will definitely be able to fill in the emulte, and then you can ride a horse and rush into the emur." ”

This is indeed good news, but Luo Shiyi's expression did not change at all, and he said slowly: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned, he encountered a team of Mobei iron hooves, I'm afraid that Battle is about to arrive." Although there has been no news in the past half month, the Tatar tribe, the eight tribes, the ancient Turkic tribes, plus the many small tribes in Mobei, should have 150,000 elite soldiers. ”

Chen Dingyuan knew the meaning of Luo Shiyi's words, and bowed in a deep voice: "In seven days, the last general will definitely take Umut." ”

Tapping his head, Luo Shiyi opened his mouth and said: "Tomorrow, I will order General Hou to let go of the West Gate, and the 30,000 soldiers of Shenji Captain will also be handed over to you, and another 10,000 elites will be transferred from Shenwu Captain and the three major battalions in the capital, a total of 120,000 troops, seven days, be sure to take Umut." ”

Without a trace of hesitation, Chen Dingyuan immediately bowed down and shouted: "The last general will be ordered, in seven days, he will definitely take Umut." ”

Nodding again, Luo Shiyi put his eyes on the map again, and said slowly: "Demutu will definitely not be tied, in the city of Umut, there must be a fierce battle, if necessary, burn Umut." ”

Chen Dingyuan, as the governor of the northwest for a long time, shouted with Mobei, and he was very clear about this, so he nodded and said: "The last general understands, and with the last general's understanding of Demutu, he must have made the worst plan, once the army captures Umut, he will never let the grain and grass set in our hands, so the last general has already prepared fire oil in case of emergency." ”

Hearing Chen Dingyuan's words, Luo Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then set his eyes on the grain depot. There are two grain depots in Wumut, one is in the camp of the Right Banner, and the other is in the most central palace, so this arrangement is naturally to prevent the grain depot from being destroyed.

After a moment of silence, Luo Shiyi suddenly made a decision, and his solemn face was even colder, and he shouted: "Come on, order General Fang, General Cheng, General Hou, General Zhou, and General Zhang to enter the account." After a pause at this, Luo Shiyi was silent for a moment and then said, "Please come over to Lord Yong." ”

When Luo Shiyi's words fell, the guards bowed and walked out, and then a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and they ran towards several other large camps.

Looking at Luo Shiyi, Chen Dingyuan seemed to guess what he meant, and opened his mouth to ask, "Dashuai, you mean, burn the emur directly?" ”

Luo Shiyi said without raising his head: "Exactly." ”

After just two words, there was no sound, there was no meaning to explain, seeing this, Chen Dingyuan did not make a sound anymore, and the big tent fell silent, not only not for long, the generals rushed over one by one.

When King Yong Chu Haoxuan walked into the big tent, Luo Shiyi raised his head, bowed down and said, "The last general has seen His Royal Highness King Yong!" ”

Waving his hand disappreciatively, Chu Haoxuan said loudly: "Don't do these false courtesies, let's say, call the big guy over so late, Luo Shangshu has a good plan to break the city?" ”

Nodding, Luo Shiyi opened his mouth and said, "Exactly, the minister is about to return to His Royal Highness King Yong." Speaking of this, after a pause, Luo Shiyi glanced at the generals and opened his mouth and said: "The reason why this commander wants you to capture Umut before Battle arrives is not only to hit the morale of the Mobei tribes, but also to provide food and grass in Umut City. This grain and grass is probably also what Battle needs. ”

At this moment, most of the generals looking at Luo Shiyi had doubts. They all know this, so they don't count the casualties of the siege, but today Umut is about to be breached, Luo Shiyi mentioned this matter again, how can the generals not be curious, and they all showed thoughtful looks, and the brave king Chu Haoxuan said directly: "Luo Shangshu, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, don't hang everyone's appetite." ”

Seeing the doubts in the eyes of the generals, Luo Shiyi said in a deep voice: "Burn the emur." ”

Suddenly, there was a trace of surprise in the eyes of all the generals, and there was even a shock that could not be concealed, you must know that there are still more than 100,000 people in Wumut, and there are even many Chu people.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Luo Shiyi continued: "We are about to fill in Umut, for which we have already paid tens of thousands of lives, although Demutu is powerless to change this situation, he will definitely use the complex pattern in the city to fight with the army, so as to delay time and wait for Battle to arrive." In this way, even if we take Umut in a few days, we will have to pay a lot of money, and if the grain and grass are burned by Demutu, it will really outweigh the losses. Therefore, Ben Shuai decided to set fire to the city directly after attacking the city. ”

When Luo Shiyi's words fell, the big tent fell into a deathly silence, but the eyes of the generals looking at Luo Shiyi had changed. All the generals are not pedantic, naturally understand that this is the best and most effective way, just burn Emut, burn hundreds of thousands of people, women and children, the old and weak, even if he wins, I am afraid he will be forced to resign from the military department, not to mention that he will leave a reputation for eternity, and he resolutely endures these, only for the victory of this battle, only for the lives of the soldiers of Dachu, how not admirable!

Looking at Luo Shiyi, Chen Dingyuan bowed first: "The last general is willing to advance and retreat with the commander!" ”

Suddenly, all the generals who reacted bowed in unison: "The last general is willing to advance and retreat with the marshal!" ”

Different from the echo of the generals, Chu Haoxuan's round eyes stared straight at Luo Shiyi, and asked in a deep voice, "You really decided?" ”

Without a trace of hesitation, Luo Shiyi nodded and said, "The old minister has made up his mind!" ”

After glaring at Luo Shiyi for a moment, the light in Chu Haoxuan's eyes dissipated, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, the court will say that the military order issued by this king, I want to see who dares to talk more." Chu Haoxuan's words were extremely domineering, and no one could doubt them, and he glanced at the generals coldly, and then said: "Also, Yuan Bo doesn't know about this matter. At the end of his words, Chu Haoxuan turned around and left, his burly body carrying the momentum of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Looking at Chu Haoxuan's back, Luo Shiyi's solemn face had a trace of admiration, but he quickly hid all his emotions, and shouted: "General Hou, let go of the West Gate tomorrow, and the Shenji Lieutenant will be transferred to General Chen's account to listen to the order." ”

Hou Zhibai immediately stood up and bowed: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Nodding, Luo Shiyi looked at Cheng Lianshan and Zhou Min, opened his mouth and said: "General Cheng, General Zhou, you two continue to attack the city, and after the city is broken, intercept and kill the deserters of the right banner." In addition, General Cheng and Shenwu Lieutenant transferred 20,000 elites to General Zhang's account. ”

At the same time, Cheng Lianshan and Zhou Min bowed down and bowed, saying, "The last general will be ordered!" ”

At this moment, Luo Shiyi continued: "If you want to fight with my army, Mobei will have at least 150,000 troops, and the grain and grass are all in Umut, once the grain and grass are burned, Batel will definitely raid the rear army to cut off the grain road, General Zhang, this commander will give you another 20,000 soldiers and horses, 50,000 elite soldiers, be sure to protect the grain and grass, and the grain road." ”

Zhang Xiao immediately bowed down and said, "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Nodding, Luo Shiyi's eyes were on Chen Dingyuan, and said, "General Chen, in three days, you must break through Umut." In addition, in the elongated voice, Luo Shiyi glanced at the generals with cold eyes, and shouted: "The prince has no idea about this matter, you must keep it in mind." ”
