Chapter 22: Tasteless Food
The yellow turban generals were all depressed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the previous failure, and it can also be excused by natural risks, but this time the mistake was completely caused by intelligence asymmetry.
First, the team that attacked by his own side was not only swallowed silently, but the sneak attack plan was also leaked. Let yourself get straight into the other party's trap.
Second, I didn't expect that there were so many elite soldiers and warriors in this starting point city, and all of these soldiers were not simple.
The arrows of those archers were long-range, very accurate, powerful, and fast; The crossbow arrows in their hands are not ordinary goods, they are all capable of firing ten arrows at a time, and their firepower is extremely powerful; What's even more outrageous is the infantry, although the armor on the body is rotten rattan, but the knife can't be broken, the gun can't pierce, it's like a turtle shell. If, if it weren't for the fact that they had to defend the walls and had no room to retreat, it would have been impossible to take these infantry.
Even if they fell into the trap, and they didn't expect that the number of troops would be so strong, after Marshal Maggie Cheung used the Blood Yellow Turban, it was still possible for the Yellow Turban Army to capture the starting point city.
It's a pity that at the most critical time, a bird suspected of being a phoenix appeared, spitting flames from its mouth, burning the retreat of the soldiers, and also burning the hope of Marshal Maggie Cheung and seizing the starting point city.
"Now that we've lost the best chance to attack the starting point, where do we go from here? What are the generals' plans? ”
Maggie Cheung was not angry as she imagined, but her face was calm, and she couldn't see a trace of anger.
However, in the hearts of the generals, it is better to prefer Maggie Cheung to be angry.
After all, Maggie Cheung was very angry after losing 10,000 people last time, this time the loss is so huge, but it is still so calm, it is too abnormal, so there must be monstrous anger behind this calm, it depends on who will touch this mold, and then, there is no slag left by this monstrous fire.
When the generals heard this, they obviously had opinions, but no one dared to speak, for fear of dissatisfying Maggie Cheung and angering themselves.
Although Ma Zhichun is Maggie Cheung's good friend, at this time, he didn't dare to interject, for fear of provoking fire.
As for the hate-tyrant and gang leader who provided information, he was even more ashamed. Although, the spies lurking in the old city at the starting point sent out the information in time, informing them that there were many more soldiers in the old city.
Unfortunately, it took 2 hours to pass the information. At this time, the offensive has already begun, and it is simply difficult to ride a tiger, and it is impossible to withdraw the troops.
Although Qiu Ba still reported to Maggie Cheung, Maggie Cheung's mind had been decided at that time, and he made up his mind that tens of thousands of soldiers could not stop his army.
In fact, in such a situation, in the hands of any of the generals present, it is impossible to give an order to retreat. After all, it is easy to give the order to retreat, but on the other side of the city, the sneak attack of the troops can be tragic.
However, Yin Lihua, the young hall master of the Hades Temple with the clearest thinking, couldn't help but speak, because this army was not only Maggie Cheung's alone, but also the players'.
At this time, Maggie Cheung's own army has suffered a lot of casualties, and the declining strength is not much stronger than the players. If Maggie Cheung is still messing around, the final result will inevitably lead to a break between the player and Maggie Cheung.
Such an outcome is very unfavorable for both parties.
So Yin Lihua opened her mouth and said:
"Don't be annoyed! Today's defeat, although our army suffered a lot of casualties, but it did not hurt the fundamentals, our main force still exists, and it will not change the balance of strength between us and the starting point city. ”
Seeing that Maggie Cheung's expression had not changed, Yin Lihua continued:
"Our army's defeat today lies in the fact that it cannot know itself and the enemy, and it leaks secrets. However, the strength of the starting point city has been mastered by us, and we can know ourselves and the enemy. At the same time, in the future, we should act more confidentially and increase the contact information so as not to fall into the trap after leaking secrets. ”
"However, the starting point city has captured many of our elites. If they all surrender, the strength of the starting point city will definitely increase greatly. At that time, our troops will not have an advantage! ”
At this time, Maggie Cheung was not willful and expressed her worries.
"Don't worry, handsome! The more troops in the starting city, the better. First of all, there are at least 50,000 soldiers in the starting city, and there will only be more with the number of prisoners. In this way, if our army wants to forcibly capture the starting point city, it is estimated that it will not be possible without 200,000 elites.
However, not to mention that we don't have 200,000 elites, and even if we do, it is impossible to transfer all of them to attack the city. In fact, just from the forcible siege of the city, the strength of our army is not superior. ”
"However, from the point of view of defending the city, it is also impossible if the old city of the starting point wants to counterattack the new city of the starting point. Because they only have only 5-60,000 troops, they cannot form an offensive advantage. I think that's why they gave up the new city of the starting point and lured us to attack the old city of the starting point. ”
"If we can see through their trap earlier, give up attacking the old city of the starting point, and stick to the two plank roads and canyons to prevent them from going down the mountain, the starting point city will lose its daughter-in-law and lose its troops. However, as soon as we attack, we will be deceived. ”
"Then why is it that their increased strength is still a good thing for us?"
Ma Beichun has a bad mind, but he still has eyes and can play a round, so he directly asked Maggie Cheung.
"Why does the old city hide its strength and lure us to attack, I think the most fundamental reason is to weaken the strength of our army to the greatest extent, and after the strength of our army is greatly damaged, counterattack our army, so as to turn defeat into victory."
"They are in danger, we want to take them, it's not easy, how can they lose?"
Maggie Cheung still asked curiously.
"That's true, they're not afraid of us attacking. However, there is one thing they are afraid of, and that is food. If only a small army was stationed, they could have enough food for a little longer. But now that they have such an army and consume astronomical amounts of food every day, how long can they last like this? That's why I said that the more troops they have, the better! The more troops, the sooner they will be defeated! ”
"Then we'll hold the old city of the starting point firmly and make sure they are trapped."
Maggie Cheung rarely expressed her position. To be honest, Maggie Cheung should be angry, but after Yin Lihua's analysis, he knew that the most fundamental reason for this defeat was not the error of intelligence, but the error of the strategic direction he chose.
In fact, at first, he insisted on going his own way, hoping to cut through the chaos quickly and take the old city of the starting point. If he agrees to slowly consume the old city of the starting point, he will probably not lose his troops.
"Don't be handsome! It was okay to do this before, but not anymore. One is that we have suffered a large loss in strength, and when the old city collapses on its own, it is estimated that it will take time for us to stay here, and once we are surrounded by officers and soldiers, we may be exposed to the enemy on our backs and fall into danger. Second, our strength is damaged, even if we take the old city of the starting point, there will not be too many combatants to attack Jingzhou City at that time, and it is not of much sense to just defend here. Third, we have always been invincible in attack, we have always fought in sports, and we are not good at fighting defensive battles. ”
"So, my suggestion is to abandon this old city and go back and sweep everywhere."
Yin Lihua's suggestion is not pertinent, and if it is really done, Li Tang's previous arrangement will be all in vain.
However, each person has a different position and a different purpose, and the result they hope for is also different.
For example, the players were shocked by the strength they showed Li Tang. Just imagine, how many players can master 50,000 elite soldiers at this stage?
Moreover, these elite soldiers knew at a glance that they were not ordinary goods, because they knew what ordinary soldiers were like. Even if the equipment of 50,000 elite soldiers is equipped, the cost required is astronomical, not counting the daily consumption and training costs.
From this point of view, the forces behind this Li Tang are definitely not small, and they have a lot of plans!
In this way, how could the Ouyang family behind the player power in Jingzhou give up this once-in-a-lifetime fighter? As long as the nail of Li Tang's starting point city can be pulled out, then even if Maggie Cheung's army is lost, what does it matter to them?
Therefore, as soon as Yin Lihua analyzed, she got the eyes of Qiu Ba to stop her. Of course, Yin Lihua did not continue to express her position.
And Ma Zhichun's attitude at this time is not light.
It's a pity that he hates Li Tang to the core, and if he wants him to give up, how can it be?
As for the Yellow Turban generals, they are used to living a hard life, and then burning, killing and looting all the way, although they are happy, but after all, they are on the march and cannot enjoy themselves.
Speaking of which, the most enjoyable time is still in this starting point of the new city, there are not too many things every day, you can sing every night, spend all day drinking, and live too freely.
If you want to go out to burn and kill again, then the pain of eating and sleeping in the open and bumps is inevitable!
Therefore, these aboriginal generals, who have not enjoyed enough, have also fallen silent on the issue of whether to go out.
Nowadays, this starting point city is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. It's like opium/*, knowing that smoking it is harmful to the body, but you still can't help but smoke it.
Maggie Cheung couldn't make up her mind for a long time, and finally pondered for a long time, and when she saw that her subordinates didn't express their position, she had to say:
"If we give up the starting point new city, our previous efforts will be in vain, our soldiers have died in vain, and we help strengthen the city wall of the starting point new city, which is equivalent to helping the enemy to volunteer. In this way, not only will the people of the world laugh at us, but even the morale of our army will be greatly reduced. In this way, many of our generals will not be reconciled. ”
Maggie Cheung paused, and then said:
"There is only one fundamental reason for me to withdraw from the starting point city, and that is that our troops have begun to run low. Actually, this problem is easy to solve! Along the way, we sent quite a few squads to plunder everywhere. At this point, I have already informed them to come back and assemble. Presumably, when these squads come back, our forces will inevitably be greatly replenished.
Second, we strengthen the city walls and hold the checkpoints, which can also save troops. Third, we can ask my eldest brother God Envoy Zhang Daqushuai for help, and ask for a few more talismans, and we will definitely be able to defend the starting point city at a critical time.
In this way, we are vigorously training our troops here, and it will inevitably become a solid fulcrum for the capture of Jingzhou City. ”
