Chapter 699: Bloody Battle to the End 4
Outside the city, Zhang An's people died down for the time being. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a day of fighting, everyone under his command is sleepy, and if he continues to fight, it is completely playing with his life.
After the war, his decision made Zhang Ru kneel down and kowtow to him three times. Of course, that's all for later.
"How's the battle damage?" Zhang An was a little tired and lay on the rough chair, and asked Wang Zhou, who had just come in.
Wang Zhou sighed and handed the paper in his hand to Zhang An.
After reading the content on the paper, Zhang An gasped.
Under the First World War, there were so many losses.
34,000 foot soldiers were killed, 7,000 cavalry were killed in battle, more than 600 foot soldiers were seriously wounded, and more than 19,700 were lightly wounded. None of the cavalry were seriously wounded, and Lu Qian and Erbai were lightly wounded.
It's only been an afternoon's work, and there are such big casualties, which is something Zhang An has never seen before in the border town.
Even if more than 30,000 people stood there and let people kill, the enemy would have to kill for half a day.
This is siege warfare, one of the ways of fighting that he is not very familiar with.
"There are too many deaths in the war, and I am a little hesitant now whether to ask my brothers to attack at night at night. The capital city is high, and many siege ladders are short. Some of those who can build the city wall are also difficult for people to go up. The enemy must be prepared to deal with it, and I am afraid that the night attack will cause more brothers to die tragically. Zhang An sighed and said.
It is said that Ci is not in charge of the army, but those are the words spoken by the reader. There are a few people who are really in charge of the army, and there are a few who can ignore the life and death of their brothers.
What happened on the battlefield was known only to the generals who had spoken of suffering.
It stands to reason that those literati are not qualified to put their beaks.
Wang Zhou made an opinion: "Why don't you let everyone come over and discuss it together?" ”
Zhang An hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's okay, the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, maybe everyone can figure out a way together and come up with a foolproof strategy." ”
Wang Zhou turned around and walked out of the camp, and soon, he called in all the generals who held direct military power in their hands.
"Sit down and talk about what you think. In this battle, we suffered heavy casualties, and all parts of the population were reduced. What do you think about whether or not there will be a night attack tonight? Zhang An made it straightforward.
The people present here include Wang Zhou, Ma Xuan, Ma Jinzhong, Xie Lun, Xiao Anu, Meng Fu, Jiang Wei, Xie Hongtu, Du Shanbai and others.
These people can basically be regarded as Zhang Ru's cronies.
Of course, Ma Zhang's identity still needs to be considered.
To say that he was Zhang Ru's henchman three years ago is reasonable, but to say that he is still Zhang Ru's confidant is a bit too much.
No big man would want his henchman to be an existence that is unwilling to obey his command. The most important thing is that Ma Xuan now has the strength to argue with Zhang Ru.
All Zhang Ru's henchmen remained silent, only Ma Xuan stood up and said: "The last general thinks that tonight should be attacked at night, our people still have the strength to fight, so we will divide the victory and defeat tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
Zhang An nodded noncommittally and looked at the others again.
Wang Zhou closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ma Jinzhong tilted his head in thought, his fingers slowly tapping on the table.
Xiao Anu and Meng Fu looked at each other, with their level and experience, it seemed that in such a meeting, they didn't have much say at all.
First, both of them are responsible for the investigation of this part, and they want to find a murderer and torture to extract confessions, and the two of them are good hands. But when it comes to leading troops to fight, the two of them are complete laymen.
Xie Lun is in charge of the economy, and he is very lazy to pay attention to Zhang An.
Because he knew that Zhang An called them over, not necessarily to ask his opinion, but more to ask the opinions of Wang Zhou and Ma Xuan.
Xie Hongtu is similar to Xie Lun, what he can give is some financial support, and he doesn't know anything else, and he doesn't want to know.
Instead, Du Shanbai stood up and expressed his thoughts: "General, don't you think that tonight is not suitable for a night attack. ”
Wang Zhou didn't object, but Du Shanbai took the lead in objecting, Zhang Anqi said: "Oh, tell me your reasons." ”
Du Shanbai pointed to the map and said, "General, please see, the Desheng Gate where we are now is one of the most important gateways to the capital. The men and horses here are the most elite, and they are also the most capable of fighting in the 12th regiment battalion. Our people are well-known figures in any border town, but when they are gathered together, they are a little inadequate.
To put it nicely, there is no one person to unify the scheduling, and to put it badly, there is no difference from a group of rabble.
The losses this afternoon were heavy, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded.
Although this is a siege battle, for the border troops in various places, there should be casualties.
The Liaodong Army has the idea of the Liaodong Army, the Xuanfu soldiers have the meaning of the Xuanfu soldiers, and the Datong border soldiers have the little Jiujiu of the Datong border soldiers. Fighting on their own is nothing more than giving the enemy a head.
The rebels were not outnumbered, and our army was several times outnumbered by the enemy, but it still ended up in vain.
That's why I don't think that instead of letting those brothers fight hard in the night, it is better to use the night to reflect on whether our command is appropriate. ”
Du Shanbai's words are not high-minded talk, nor are they every word, but every word is from the heart.
Zhang An couldn't help but nod as he listened.
It is true that the people he can command, except for part of the Xuanfu border army and all the Liaodong border army, there are many people that he cannot command.
He's a manager, but there's a feeling of inadequacy.
The first is that Ma Xuan's men and horses are passive and sluggish, saying that they are unwilling to fight to the death with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
Then Wang Zhou acted recklessly, leading the troops to attack rashly, resulting in many people being killed by the defending stone and sasswood.
Ma Xuan's face turned dark: "Du Shanbai, you are a scholar, you know what to do with soldiers." ”
Du Shanbai was not afraid of Ma Zhang's threat: "What does General Ma mean by this, I, Du Shanbai, am Hou Ye's person, and Hou Ye asked me to counsel military affairs, what do you have to do with you!" ”
"You're looking for death!" Ma Xuan shouted fiercely, and then drew his waist knife.
His waist knife is still the embroidered spring knife that was previously configured by the Jinyi Guard.
At this moment, Wang Zhou slowly stood up: "Jinyiwei has never put the embroidered spring knife on his brother's neck, Ma Xuan, you take a step forward, I will cut your robe with you." Without your 100,000 soldiers, Lao Tzu can also take down this Desheng Gate. ”
Zhang An slammed his face on the table: "What is the noise, what is the noise!" Ma Zhang, do you think you are amazing, Du Shanbai is talking about his own opinion, you want to kill people if you don't agree with each other, do you want to kill the old man! Wang Zhou, you also sit down, have a good discussion, what kind of system! (To be continued.) )
