Chapter 822: A Trick to Attack the Heart

In the camp of the Jin army on the south bank of the water, Hua An and his subordinates decided to adopt a strategy of attacking the heart, sending a small number of fine workers to infiltrate Jicheng, and in Jicheng, a large number of remarks unfavorable to Yan were spread, causing panic among the people of Jicheng Yan State, so as to shake the defense determination of the Yan State and the people of Yan State.

In order to completely shake the determination of the Yan army and people to defend, the Jin army not only greatly exaggerated the strength of the Jin army corps and belittled the strength of the Yan army, but also spread rumors that Goguryeo, Buyeo and other countries were about to raise heavy troops to attack the eastern border of Yan State.

Although these unconfirmed rumors were deliberately spread by the Jin army, this is impossible to distinguish between true and false for the Yan soldiers and civilians in Jicheng, and many Yan soldiers and civilians are convinced after listening to these rumors, and have plans to escape from Jicheng.

The Jin army worked carefully in Jicheng and spread rumors on a large scale, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians of Yan State, and even among Murong Ke's elite army, there were soldiers talking about rumors in private, and these situations were extremely unfavorable to Yan State.

In the camp of the Murong Ke army on the north bank of the water, the main generals Murong Ke and Murong Ba and other generals are inspecting the camp, the battle of the Jin army has a great impact on the morale of the Yan army, Murong Ke and other generals feel very anxious, and Murong Ke and other generals are not most worried about the rumor itself, but once the rumor becomes a reality, the consequences will be very bad, although he feels that most of the countries such as Goguryeo and Buyeo will not help the Jin army, but there are accidents, in case, The promises made by the Jin army exceeded the needs of Goguryeo and other states, and no one could guarantee that Goguryeo and other states would not attack the eastern territories of Yan.

"Brothers. I heard that our Great Yan Kingdom has been attacked on all sides, and the Jin army on the south bank of the water has gathered 500,000 horses and horses, ready to attack at any time, Goguryeo also raised the troops of the whole country to attack Liaodong with an army of 100,000, and the 100,000 army of Fuyu is also attacking the northeastern land of our Dayan, and even the Yuwen Department has resurrected and led tens of thousands of troops to attack the northern part of our Dayan Kingdom. A soldier of the Yan Army said softly.

The soldier next to him heard this. Hurriedly corrected: "500,000 is only afraid of more." I heard that the soldiers and horses of the Jin army on the south bank of the water control have been as high as one million, and the follow-up soldiers and horses are still continuing to reinforce. After saying that, I felt a little palpitating.

"There are millions of people in the Jin army. In the east, Goguryeo, Buyeo, and Ubunbu rebelled one after another. I'm afraid that the Great Yan Kingdom will be difficult to resist. What can I do? One soldier became worried.

"Goguryeo and Buyeo in the east have already attacked, if the main force of the Jin army breaks through the water control defense line, won't my Dayan Kingdom have no way to retreat." Another soldier. Said worriedly.

Suddenly, all the soldiers of the Yan Army bowed their heads and sighed, and felt that their future was worrying.

But these soldiers didn't know that at this time, Murong Ke and the core generals under his command were already standing behind them, and they glared at them angrily.

"General, General." Suddenly, a Yan soldier found Murong Ke and other generals behind him, and immediately after, all the soldiers found Murong Ke and other generals.

Murong Ke glared at the soldiers angrily and said loudly: "What is the crime of spreading rumors in the army?" ā€

"The general forgives the sins, the general forgives the sins." Seeing that Murong Ke was angry, the soldiers hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Fourth brother, there have been more rumors in the army recently, it seems that it must be vigorously punished!" Murong Ba Zhengse built yƬ road.

Murong Ke nodded, looked at a few soldiers, and said with a straight face: "Come on, drag it down, and behead them all." After saying that, he continued to patrol the camp.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life." Seeing that Murong Ke was going to execute them, the soldiers of the Yan Army hurriedly begged for mercy.

Murong Ke frowned, ignored the soldiers begging for mercy, and continued to move forward.

"Fourth brother, there are large-scale rumors in Jicheng and the army, this doesn't seem to be accidental, but it seems to be a conspiracy of the Jin army!" Murong Ba said softly.

Murong Ke nodded, and said: "That's right, the so-called siege of the city is the bottom and the heart is the top, this is indeed the Jin army's strategy to attack the heart, but the Jin army's strategy is really just right, and it can almost be confused with the real." ā€

"Fourth brother, since this is the Jin army's strategy to attack the heart, how should our army crack it?" Murong Ba hurriedly asked.

Obviously, Murong Ba felt that he could not be indifferent to the Jin army's plan to attack the heart, and at least he should make a countermeasure.

Murong Ke thought for a moment, and said: "Anyone who maliciously spreads rumors, especially those who spread rumors in the army, will be killed once they are verified, and they must find out the fine work of the Jin army who spread rumors." ā€

When Murong Ba heard this, he nodded, and said with a straight face: "Fourth brother, don't worry, this matter will be handled by me." ā€

Murong Ke nodded in agreement and continued to patrol the camp.

Soon, several Yan soldiers who were talking about the rumors were beheaded, and at the time of the beheading, many soldiers in the camp were all watching from the sidelines.

As a row of knives and axes fell, several human heads were cut off, and at the place of execution, a Yan army general shouted loudly to the surrounding onlookers: "The general has an order, anyone who spreads rumors in the camp will be beheaded for public display." With that, he strode away.

The soldiers of the Yan Army who were watching were all frightened when they heard it, and many of them had talked about the rumors, so they were naturally very nervous and scared.

Murong Ke's deterrent measures were still very effective, since the killing of several Yan soldiers who were talking about rumors, the morale in the camp had increased a lot, and there were no more soldiers gathering together to talk about rumors.

At the same time, in Jicheng, the excavation of the Jin army's fine work was also carried out in secret, and achieved certain results, and soon, several Jin army scouts were captured by the Yan soldiers.

But Jicheng is not a military camp after all, and the people of Jicheng are not soldiers, although the court of Dayan has issued an order to prohibit the people from talking and spreading rumors, otherwise, they will be arrested and punished, but it is still very difficult to supervise many ordinary people.

Although the rumors spread by the Jin army made the Yan soldiers and civilians in Jicheng panic, they did not let the soldiers and civilians of Jicheng flee Jicheng, so it could not be regarded as a very successful strategy to attack the heart, and several Jin army scouts, due to lack of experience, were also caught by the Yan soldiers.

In the Jin army camp on the south bank of the water, Hua'an no longer pays attention to the situation on the other side of the river all the time, so as to make the next deployment according to the situation on the other side.

"Your Majesty, our army's plan to attack the heart does not seem to have had a pre-emptive effect, especially after Murong Ke killed a few soldiers who were talking about rumors, there are almost no soldiers in the Yan army talking about rumors anymore." Wang San said softly.

Hua An nodded and said, "Yes!" Murong Ke used thunderous means to stop the spread of rumors in the army, which greatly reduced our army's plan to attack the heart! Moreover, several soldiers were also lost. ā€

Obviously, Huaan was not very satisfied with the effect of the attack, and even a little disappointed.

"Your Majesty, since the plan to attack the heart has failed, how should our army deal with it next?" Wang San asked softly.

Hua An thought for a while, and said: "Since the plan to attack the heart is not successful, our army can immediately launch a large-scale feint attack to create an unstoppable momentum of my Great Jin King Division, so that the soldiers and people of Yan State believe that the rumors are not false, and the strength of my Great Jin King Division cannot be underestimated." ā€

Obviously, Hua'an intends to use force to deter the soldiers and civilians of Yanguo, so that the soldiers and civilians of Yanguo will have fear, and then cause a large number of people in Jicheng to flee, and once there is no support from the people, the defense line of the Yanguo army will no longer be so strong, and it will become easier to break through the defense line of water control.

When Wang San heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the water is wide, and the ships prepared by our army and the materials for building pontoon bridges are not sufficient, but I am afraid that we do not have the conditions to launch a large-scale attack at this moment." ā€

When Hua An heard this, he thought for a while, and said: "In this case, let the soldiers prepare for three days, and immediately launch a large-scale feint attack on the north bank of the water control after three days, it doesn't matter how many enemies are destroyed, the important thing is to create an unstoppable momentum, so that the Yan army knows the strength of our army." ā€

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general understands." Wang San responded with a fist.

Subsequently, Wang San began to give orders to the baggage troops, asking them to build all kinds of ships day and night, and to allocate all the reserve army officers and men to be responsible for raising all kinds of materials needed to build the pontoon bridge, in case the main army launched a large-scale feint attack three days later.

Under Hua'an's orders, all the soldiers and horses of the Jin army battalion carried out active preparations, ready to obey Hua'an's orders at any time, and launched a large-scale feint attack on the north bank of the water.

The main force of the Jin army suddenly carried out large-scale preparations, such an action immediately attracted the attention of the Yan army on the north bank of the water control, and the Yan army's main general Murong Ke did not dare to slack off, and immediately let the army under his command make targeted preparations, and sent scouts to closely monitor the Jin army's every move, so as to know the actions of the Jin army well.

After three consecutive days of preparation, in the camp of the Jin army on the south bank of the control of the water, the soldiers of the Jin army have prepared enough warships to launch a feint attack and a large number of materials to build a pontoon bridge.

Before the large-scale feint attack was launched, Hua An and his subordinates walked out of the Chinese army's tent and went to the high platform of the camp to observe the situation on the other side of the water.

"Your Majesty, the three armies are ready to attack the north bank of the water at any time." Zhuge Xiong reported loudly.

Hua An nodded and said loudly: "Pass the order, and the whole army will attack immediately." ā€

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuge Xiong shouted the order, and immediately gave the order to attack on the whole front. (To be continued......)
