Chapter 306: Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy
In the face of the facts, several people did not hesitate too much, and replied very briskly: "Yes, handsome... Not only are there many difficulties, but the soldiers we brought will also suffer very heavy losses in this attack......"
At this time, Wei Zheng's words suddenly changed, his tone was full of coldness, and he asked loudly at the three people: "Then according to what you said, for us, this attack is difficult. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, we will not fight this battle ... The tens of thousands of traitors trapped in Baode County, we won't suppress them..."
Before the three of them could speak, Wei Zheng's clenched fist had already slammed on the table in front of him, with a hint of anger, and shouted loudly: "I think you are, the bigger the official, the smaller the courage becomes... Are you used to fighting with the wind, and you don't know how to fight a little difficult battle..."
"I think back then, when we were outside the gate, we didn't have the slightest fear in the face of Tartars who were several times our size. And now, just facing 20,000 traitors with a comparable number of troops scares you like this..."
"You are all old brothers brought out by Ben Shuai, and you are Ben Shuai's henchmen... If you don't want to fight, just tell Sรน Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai will definitely give you a large amount of pension silver, so that you can withdraw from the military and no longer live this kind of life of licking blood on the tip of the knife......"
Faced with Wei Zheng's angry questioning, the three of them quickly knelt on one leg and said loudly: "Please calm your anger..."
After the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart were vented, Wei Zheng's face became calm.
After taking a deep breath. He said to the three subordinates: "Get up....this commander sues you." Since the formation of the Haw Par Army. Except for the cavalry, who really participated in one or two bloody battles, the remaining musketeers and scouts have grown step by step in one battle after another..."
"It can be said that so far, the Haw Par Army, which has tens of thousands of troops, is the only musketeer who has not really seen blood..."
"Now, there is finally a real battle ahead of you. Let you train the army, you actually told me so many difficulties, which has to disappoint Ben Shuai......"
"If you say more, you won't say much...... Ben Shuai has only one idea, to take Baode County, eliminate all the traitors trapped in the county, and by the way, train the soldiers well, so that the soldiers, especially those who have just joined the Tiger and Leopard Army, can see the blood. Let them know the cruelty of war, adapt to the battlefield ......"
Zhou Yuhong, who was stared at by Wei Zheng's eyes, was already a little uncomfortable. Hurriedly stood up and said: "What the marshal said is....The last general will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to train the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command...."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuhong's words also changed, and he continued: "However, Dashuai....This siege war that is about to break out is difficult for us. However, we also have a lot of advantages that traitors don't have...."
"The traitors were armed with a large number of muskets and artillery, but their artillery used both loose and solid shells. And our mortars use flowering shells ...
"The last general can confidently say that the power of more than 100 mortars is enough to suppress the traitor musketeers and gunners on the city wall on the battlefield with artillery fire..."
In addition to flowering shells, we are also equipped with grenades....so many new weapons, they will definitely have many unexpected results in siege battles..."
Wei Zheng nodded, and his calm face finally showed a satisfied smile from the bottom of his heart.
Then, he spoke again: "This is right....As a qualified general, before the battle begins, you must also see your own advantages while thinking of your own difficulties...... Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, no matter what time you put it, it is a sentence that the leading generals must always remember......"
"Okay, since the words are said to be here....Ben Shuai now officially gives the general order..."
"General Zhou Yuhong Zhou, dispatch all the artillery and musketeers of the whole army, immediately complete the encirclement of the county seat of Baode County, and trap the traitors trapped in Baode County to death in Baode County....I will let all these traitors who are inferior to beasts go to hell, and not one will be left..."
"General Zhao Yun Zhao, lead the cavalry as a reserve, ready to participate in the battle at any time..."
"General Zhou Chenguang Zhou, the commander of the scout army, from now on, increase the patrol density on the front line of the Yellow River, closely monitor the every move of the traitors on the other side of the river, and prepare for the whole army to cross the Yellow River and kill Shaanxi......"
In Baode County, although the sound of various guns has not stopped. However, after having a few opinions from the military advisor to himself, even if the gunshots outside shook the sky, Wu Jingtian, as the commander of the traitor, had a good sleep very easily.
The next morning, after a full night's rest, the refreshed Wu Jingtian had just walked out of the bedroom when a rush of footsteps reached his ears.
Just when his brows furrowed and he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, the subordinates who hurried to him turned out to be a military advisor with a slightly nervous and anxious expression.
You must know that in the eyes of Wu Jingtian, the traitor commander, no matter when or how difficult it is, the expression on the face of the military advisor has always been an eternal calm...
However, now I saw a trace of worry and anxiety in the calm face of the military advisor......
Wu Jingtian, who was shocked in his heart, immediately realized that something big must have happened, otherwise, he would never be a military advisor who was always calm when he encountered trouble, and he would never have such an appearance.
Sure enough, just as he was about to speak to the military advisor. The military advisor had already taken the lead in reporting and said: "Boss....Something happened....we haven't had time to figure out the specific strength of the officers and troops in Baode County, and the scouts haven't been sent out yet....The officers and soldiers have surrounded us......
"The brothers on the walls just reported... A large number of officers and troops appeared outside Baode County, including cavalry, infantry, and artillery....There are all four directions, and they are too many to count..."
Hearing the news, Wu Jingtian, who was shocked, took a long time before he reacted. Then, he said to the military advisor: "The Tiger and Leopard Army is simply too deceitful... Just gave us a dismount and wiped out thousands of our cavalry and thousands of infantry. Then they followed us and surrounded us, not giving us the slightest chance to catch our breath..."
"Now it seems that the commander of the Haw Par Army outside the city is imperative for us........."
