Chapter 1155: Wu Sangui's Respect
"Sangui, do you think we can succeed if we break through?"
Walking back into the city, Yang Fengyi found Wu Sangui and began to inquire in detail about the breakthrough.
The reason why Yang Fengyi came to discuss this matter with Wu Sangui was because looking at the many generals in the kidnapping city, Wu Sangui was the only one who dared to put forward this suggestion to break through.
Except for Wu Sangui, the generals were full of thoughts about garrisoning the city and hopelessly resisting the attack of the Jurchen army outside the city.
For these people, although they knew that they were stationed in Kidnapping City, they would not be able to escape the end of the city's destruction, but they would rather stay in the city, for them to live one more day is a day.
At least, it is better than being killed by the Jurchen cavalry in the wilderness after breaking through the siege.
Therefore, since Yang Fengyi has already made up his mind, the only person he can find to discuss is Wu Sangui alone.
Because if he went to find someone else, then the other generals would definitely oppose this plan.
Instead of arguing with them, it is better to discuss with Wu Sangui now and implement the breakthrough plan as soon as possible.
According to Wu Sangui, at least you can fight it.
If you don't even fight all at once, then there is really no hope at all.
Who would have thought that the Jurchens in the outer city of the city would be transferred to the Shun army.
It was the emergence of the Guishun Army that made things change a lot.
For two whole days, the Guishun army was attacking fiercely, which made the defenders in the city a little unbearable.
Originally, they were a group of remnants of the defeated army, and after fleeing to the side of Kidnapping City, did they get a good rest, and immediately engaged in the defense of the city.
This is a very draining and very test of the soldiers' will and physical strength.
And Yang Fengyi felt that the soldiers were now at the limit.
If the enemy outside the city continued to attack, it would be impossible for the defenders of Kidnapping City to hold out for long.
Especially if the news of the depletion of grain spreads. Then it will make matters worse, and the instability of the army will be completely dissipated.
Rather than thinking about breaking through at that time, it is better to implement this plan while everyone still has a little fighting spirit.
Alas!
Speaking of which, it was because Yang Fengyi was indecisive, and finally delayed the best breakthrough time.
If he had been able to implement Wu Sangui's proposal at that time, perhaps the situation would have changed dramatically.
Moreover, it is thanks to the exhaustion of grain that Yang Fengyi made up her mind.
If there is no news about it. It is impossible for Metropolitan Governor Yang Fengyi to make this decision.
"My lord, if it had been two days ago, I would have been eighty percent sure that I would have broken through. But now the last general did not dare to say that, after all, after two days of defending the city, the casualties of the soldiers were very large, and there were fewer soldiers than we were able to pick out two days ago. β
Wu Sangui's meaning is obvious, and he is not very sure now.
However, even if it is not very certain. But this plan still has to be implemented, isn't it?
If not, then everyone will be waiting to die together in Kidnapping City.
"Let's be straight, how sure are you now?"
Yang Fengyi asked directly.
"Select 5,000 elites at night and break through from Xicheng. We don't stop along the Daliang River all the way to the west, we will arrive at Datong in about a day and a half, and we will be 30% sure that we will succeed. β
After listening to Wu Sangui's words, Yang Fengyi pondered for a long time.
Let's be honest. It's okay to be sure of 30%.
After all, the current situation can be seen even by an idiot, and it is too bad to be worse.
Defending the city is ten deaths.
But there is a 30% chance of breaking through.
This is a multiple-choice question. So how to choose, if you think ten people will know the way.
Of course, there is one more thing that must be done to carry out the breakout plan.
That is, more than 20,000 comrades must be abandoned, and only 5,000 elites must be guaranteed.
Moreover, these 5,000 elites may not be able to survive all of them.
On the way to break through, they also had to face the pursuit of the Jurchen cavalry.
If they can reach Datong alive by then, how many of these people will be left?
But Yang Fengyi was really hard-hearted this time, and he himself was decisive.
Rather than all of them dying here, it's better to keep some of the elite as much as possible so that they can make a comeback in the future.
Just like Wu Sangui said, as long as people are alive, there is hope, and if everyone is dead, then there is nothing.
It's rare, Yang Fengyi has finally figured it out now.
"Sancheng is not too sure, I think we can give it a try. Now you leave the city defense to the others, and now you immediately go and select five thousand elite warriors, and wait until the evening to start the action. β
Wu Sangui glanced at Yang Fengyi stupidly after hearing this, he didn't know why the Governor, who was still a little hesitant before, suddenly became decisive at this time.
Looking at Wu Sangui, who was a little puzzled, Yang Fengyi smiled bitterly.
"I'll tell you the truth, I just got the news that the grain in our city has run out. You say that if we don't break through, how long can we hold out under such an offensive of the Jurchens? β
After hearing Yang Fengyi say the news, Wu Sangui completely understood everything.
He knew why the Governor, who was hesitant, had suddenly become decisive now.
It turned out that I was forced by this news.
But think about it, the food is gone, and the soldiers can't eat enough to fight the enemy.
And if this news comes out, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will be shattered in an instant.
When the Jurchens outside the city attack again, then the kidnapping city will be dangerous.
Come to think of it, it is estimated that if Kidnapping City falls tomorrow, it is not impossible.
"Sangui, this matter is going to be pressed on you, it's all my incompetence as a governor that will make things evolve like this, I'm really ashamed of my brothers."
Yang Fengyi felt unspeakably lonely at this time.
He's been reflecting on himself. If you are not so hesitant, if you are likely to kill and decide, if you ...... yes, if there weren't so many mistakes, maybe things wouldn't have been like this.
But the problem is that although he, Yang Fengyi, is the governor of Liaodong, he is also a person of flesh and blood. And unlike the officials of the same period as Daming, it is precisely because of this that he seems so valuable.
If he had been like those officials, he wouldn't have looked so much like a person.
"My lord is serious, and the last general will do this well. Leave some seeds for our Liaodong Army. But the last general wants to ask, but the adult and the last general broke through together at night? β
Wu Sangui's question was not without purpose.
He knew very well the thoughts of the generals in the city, and everyone was reluctant to take this step.
Otherwise, Yang Fengyi would not have entrusted this matter to him.
There are many military attachΓ©s in the city who are bigger than him, and people are looking for him for something.
It's not because he has the governor in mind.
Moreover, this matter must not be leaked during the implementation, otherwise it will cause great instability in the morale of the army.
"I'm going to stay, and only my brothers who stay here can continue to support me. If I break through with you, then the rest of the brothers really won't be able to hold on. And let me give up my comrades and go with you, I really can't do it. β
Let's talk about it. Yang Fengyi is still soft-hearted and emotional.
Wu Sangui was also a little moved at this time.
Because although Yang Fengyi has such and such shortcomings, her character is also very hesitant, and she is not decisive enough. But compared to those cold-blooded. For example, the soldiers are not destined for the officers, he is a very good officer.
Wu Sangui knelt on the ground with his knees bent, his forehead touching the ground and his body trembled.
"Your Excellency!"
"Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind."
Yang Fengyi knew that Wu Sangui was trying to persuade herself. At night, I broke out with him.
However, Yang Fengyi didn't want to do this, he felt unbearable when he realized that he would leave so many soldiers.
Since that's the case. In order to be worthy of his conscience, then he stayed and guarded the city of Kidnappers with his brothers, and it was a big deal to die together.
"Sangui! Actually, if you manage to break through at night, maybe we'll be safe here. Because I expected that the Jurchen cavalry would chase you, and at that time, I could also find a fighter plane to get out of Kidnapping City. β
Yang Fengyi suddenly thought of such a possibility.
But isn't it, at night, Wu Sangui led people to break through, and the Jurchens would definitely not sit idly by.
Therefore, it is certain that when sending cavalry to chase and kill.
If half of the Jurchen 12,000 cavalry is divided, then Yang Fengyi can take the rest of the soldiers here to find fighters, and also take advantage of this to break through in other directions.
If this is done well, then almost everyone will have a chance to live.
Wu Sangui slowly raised his head, and at this moment his eyes were full of tears.
Because Wu Sangui knew that the reason why Yang Fengyi said this to herself was just to comfort herself.
Even if she led someone to break through at night, it would be impossible for Yang Fengyi to carry out this plan.
The generals in the city did not have a seed, and their courage was broken by the Jurchens.
Therefore, how could Yang Fengyi convince those people when the fighter plane appeared.
"Sangui! The five thousand brothers will be handed over to you, they are the last seeds of my Liaodong Army, whether my Liaodong Army will be able to make a comeback in the future, but it is all on this matter. β
Wu Sangui knew that nothing he said now could change Yang Fengyi's mind.
Therefore, he had no choice but to lean over the ground again, bend down deeply and kneel where he kowtowed three times, in order to show his respect to Yang Fengyi. (To be continued......)
