Chapter 270: Division of Troops and Reinforcements
(Thank you for your efforts, the smoke weaves into poems and everyone's rewards, thank you for your continued support of Jiangming)
On the third day of the siege of Sucheng by Wang Bo's army, the war finally entered a crazy mode. The 150,000-strong army changed its formation and surrounded the city tightly, and from the time the sun came out of the horizon, the fierce offensive of the Jibei army had already begun. Wang Bo, who was already seriously short of food, had no time to delay outside Sucheng any longer, and he had already vaguely thought that he had fallen for Li Mi's house. He couldn't understand what he said at first, since Li Mi was the one who was destined to return, shouldn't he speak in a word?
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Bo gradually understood a truth, Yang Guang, the emperor of Daye, didn't seem to be a person who spoke well, and throughout the ages, there were few emperors who spoke well.
But even if he understands this truth and knows that he has fallen into Li Mi's strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, it is a little late for Wang Bo to turn back at this time, and now the army is short of food, if he wants to pull the team back to the Jibei Army's own cottage, in addition to facing the pursuit of Yanyunzhai from behind, he also has to face the situation that a large number of soldiers have fled because of lack of food. If he retreated, he would have to go to the rich county of Qi, plundering along the way to maintain the supply of grain and grass for the army. There is a tiger named Zhang Xutuo entrenched in Qi County, and Wang Bo, who has been bitten twice by this tiger, really doesn't have the courage to provoke the tiger's temper again.
Driving the tiger and devouring the wolf?
But he never thought about which one was a tiger and which one was a wolf compared to Li Xian?
The 150,000-strong army besieged the four gates, and Wang Bo asked the heads of his villages to take the city within one day. Watching his soldiers and horses crash into the walls of Sucheng like waves crashing on the shore, he suddenly remembered the plan Li Mi had set for him before leaving. Besiege Sucheng, and then send a detachment of detachments to attack Junozawa.
Thinking of this made Wang Bo's eyes light up, compared to Ju Yeze, Sucheng was just a stronghold on the periphery of Yanyun Village, even if he lost Sucheng, he would not be too distressed to touch Li Xian. But Juyeze is different, that is the foundation of Yanyun Village. As long as Juyeze is taken, Li Xian will no longer have an advantage in Dongping County, and will even collapse and eventually die.
Thinking of this, Wang Bo immediately sent someone to call Luo Lezi over. Luo Lezi was one of the first few people to rebel with Wang Bo, although this person has no knowledge and martial arts, and he has never read a book of war, but Wang Bo knows that although Luo Lezi is small-minded, he can be loyal to what he says. He trusts Luo Lezi more than Chucky. Because Chuki's greed is greater than that of Luo Lezi, and he wants to be greedy for everything. Wang Bo didn't dare to let Chuki fight Ju Ye Ze, because he was worried that even if Chu Ji defeated Ju Ye Ze, he might have some dirty thoughts and take advantage of that piece of feng shui treasure land and establish himself as the king.
Another reason is that Luo Lezi is the one who has the most soldiers and horses in the villages of the Jibei Army, except for Wang Bo. There were many and miscellaneous, and the strong and healthy people among the people who were taken captive were all picked up by Wang Bo, and the rest of the camps were divided into some, and the rest were stuffed into Luo Lezi.
Therefore, if Luo Lezi is sent to go, even if he loses the battle and the whole army is annihilated, Wang Bo will not be distressed and can't stand it, if he wins, Luo Lezi wants to establish himself as the king with those old and weak soldiers under his command, it is simply a joke.
"Lao Luo!"
Wang Bo saw that Luo Lezi hurriedly came over to greet him, took his hand and said, "There is something I want to entrust you to do!" ”
Seeing his solemn tone, Luo Lizi's heart tightened: "Big boss, whatever is it, you just give orders." ”
Wang Bo pulled Luo Lezi aside and said: "I thought about it carefully, our 150,000 troops can't all be blocked in Sucheng, and I won't tell you that the food and grass in the army are already in an emergency. My plan is that you take the men and horses in your village to leave the camp immediately, and go day and night to raid the old nest of Yanyun Village, Ju Yeze. Now that the men and horses of Yanyunzhai are scattered all over Dongping County, Juyeze's defense is empty, and it is a good time to enter the army. ”
Luo Lezi was taken aback: "The big boss, but ...... The combat power of my men ......"
"Don't worry!"
Wang Bo comforted: "You just go to the front station, you have more than 40,000 horses under your command, even if the soldiers' combat strength is average, why can't you still have an empty Ju Yeze?" Even if you can't defeat it, I don't blame you, Sucheng won't be delayed for long, at most two days can take Sucheng, and after all the grain, grass and baggage in the city are moved, I will lead a large army to meet you. You have to keep in mind that Sujo is just a small place, and it is nothing compared to Junozawa. The main purpose of our southward trip this time is to rob the Feng Shui treasure land of Juyeze, as for whether we can kill one of the people and horses of Yanyun Village, we can put it aside. ”
"You don't need to worry, I will allocate you enough grain and grass, and, if you think about it, that Juyeze is the base camp of Yanyun Village, and the treasures of grain and grass in Zezhong must be countless. I'll promise you one thing now, after you break through Juyeze, you can take your master's men and horses to loot in Juyeze, and everything you get belongs to you, I promise that I won't ask for a copper coin, even if someone is red-eyed, you don't have to worry about anything with me to support you. ”
Luo Lezi thought about it and still didn't feel at ease and said: "Big boss, in terms of the combat power of the soldiers in our cottage, in addition to the personal soldiers under your command of the big boss, there are Qiu Ji and Pei Lin The people in the village. Although there are many people under my command, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled......"
"Lao Luo!"
Wang Bo was a little angry and said, "Why are you so unhappy!" ”
He whispered to Luo Lezi, "You think I don't know Chuckie's mind? Although he was the first old man to follow me in the same way as you, but since I let him sit in the head of a village, the greed in his heart has become stronger and stronger, and he is eager to replace me, how can I rest assured that this kind of important thing will be entrusted to him to do? As for Pei Lin, he is from a family, and their Pei family sent him over to me. Thought I couldn't guess? Can those family's methods of betting everywhere still be hidden? Lao Luo, I have a mirror in my heart, in this village, you are still the most loyal to me! ”
"Big boss, you know it all?"
Luo Lezi said curtly: "Actually...... Chuki has approached me more than once, and he's ......"
Wang Bo raised his eyebrows and said, "If it weren't for the original love, how could I allow him?" It's just that after all, they are all old brothers who have come through ups and downs together, and I can't bear to let me attack him. Wait a minute, if he repents, we will still be brothers who live and die together as we did at the beginning! ”
"The great boss is benevolent!"
Luo Lezi said: "Chuki, wolf heart and dog lungs!" Just the night before, when the big boss sent me and Chuck to keep vigil, I drank in his tent, and the guy also said that if this southern expedition failed, the prestige of the big boss would definitely plummet, and he asked me to stand up against you at that time, and he said that as long as I protect him from the position of the big boss, I will be promised a one-word king in the future! Be careful, boss! ”
Wang Bo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion!" ”
"Lao Luo, don't delay any longer, immediately order your men and horses to the baggage camp to receive grain and grass, and you will start today!"
Luo Lezi nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, the big boss!" I can't take it, you cut off my head. ”
The two talked for a while and then separated, Wang Bo went to command the siege, and Luo Lezi went to straighten out the people. After Wang Bo left, Luo Lezi looked at his back and sneered twice and said to himself: "When I am a fool? You and Chuki don't have a good thing, you guys fight, if Lao Tzu can defeat Ju Yeze, which one needs to look at your face? ”
Wang Bo walked forward, his face gloomy.
As I walked, I thought that it seemed that there was no need for the old men who followed me at the beginning to stay, whether it was Chuki or Luo Lezi, don't blame me for being ruthless when I take Dongping County, the road was walked out by myself, and I can't complain about others!
He raised his head and commanded loudly: "Come on, go and tell Master Qiu that you must break through the east gate before today, otherwise, don't blame me for military law!" ”
……
……
From morning to noon, the Jibei army attacked for three hours, and the corpses piled up under the city of Sucheng were nearly one person high, and blood was lying out like a river under the corpses. Outside the city there were corpses and feathered arrows everywhere, and from a distance it looked like a patch of wheat had grown on the ground.
Some of the most daring birds hovered in the air, waiting for those who were still shouting to kill to disperse. The corpses, some stiff and cold, others still warm, were undoubtedly a good meal in their eyes. Standing on the city wall, Xiong Kuohai no longer remembered that this was the first time he had repelled the attacks of the Jibei army, and it seemed that Wang Bo had gone crazy this time and wanted to take Sucheng within this day.
"Captain!"
His own soldiers leaned over and said softly: "I have counted the casualties, our Houtu camp has broken more than 300 brothers and injured more than 200 people, and the county soldiers and civilians in the city have suffered about 1,000 casualties. ”
The soldier glanced at the city and said, "But...... The Jibei Army suffered at least five times as many people as we did! ”
Xiong Kuohai nodded and said, "You go and see, if the food is sent to the city wall, if not, go and urge it, you can't let the brothers go hungry and fight." ”
The soldier responded and ran into the distance, and Xiong Kuohai walked in the direction of the city tower to find Li Xian, and happened to see Li Xian also walking towards him, and Xiong Kuohai hurriedly greeted him.
"General, how is the situation with the other doors?"
Xiong Kuohai asked.
Li Xian said: "I walked around the four gates, although the Jibei Army's offensive against the other gates is also very fierce, but the east gate you guard is the most fierce." The Jibei army on the south side of the city once attacked the city wall, but it did not cause any major danger. What about your side, how's it going, what about the casualties? ”
Xiong Kuohai said the casualty figure again and sighed: "It seems that Wang Bo's army is really going to run out of food, otherwise how could it be so crazy!" ”
Li Xian nodded: "It's okay, after carrying these waves of offensives in the morning, the momentum of the Jibei Army has weakened." Did you find out? ”
He asked suddenly, a little out of tune with the previous words. But Xiong Kuohai nodded and said, "I found that a group of men and horses separated from Wang Bo's army and went to the southeast. It seems that you are not going to attack Xuchang? Or...... Giant Nozawa? ”
Li Xian nodded and said, "It's okay to sneak attack anywhere, I hope he will divide all the men and horses!" ”
At the same time, the 30,000 Qi county soldiers led by Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qi County, were already less than 100 miles away from Sucheng, and if they hurried up, they would be able to arrive the next day at the latest.
Luo Shixin looked back at the marching team with some eagerness and sighed: "I just said, let me lead the cavalry first, it's too slow to walk over like this!" ”
Qin Qiong comforted: "Shixin, you don't have to be anxious. We have too few cavalry, so what if you lead your troops over? Don't worry, you can get to the city by tomorrow evening at the latest! ”
Luo Shixin sighed: "The battle situation is ever-changing, and there are many variables in an hour, and the two are ...... Who knows if there will be any surprises? ”
Qin Qiong smiled and said, "You still can't trust your brother?" ”
Luo Shixin was stunned, shook his head and said: "That person of his, he looks calm, but if he is forced to be in a hurry, he is even crazier than a madman!" Who knows if he is besieged by Wang Bo, he will make any crazy moves! ”
