Chapter 288: Psychological Warfare
At this time, there are still dozens of miles away from the 100-year-old pass, in the barracks.
"Rubbish!" As soon as Temur slapped the table, several generals around him suddenly trembled.
They all dare not speak out.
Naturally, they knew who Temur was talking about.
But it was the guard of the 100-year-old pass before, and speaking of which, the guard general was also an old man who had been fighting with Temur in the south and the north for many years, so he could get the trust of Temur and send him to guard the 100-year-old pass.
Unexpectedly, this person gave him a surprise, and he lost the 100-year-old pass overnight.
It made Temur feel that he was not human, and he felt that he was slapped in the face.
You must know that Baisui Pass is also an important town, although it is not as good as Julu City, but as its own border, Temur has also rebuilt and expanded it.
Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in the city all year round, and there is always a shortage of food, grass, and ordnance, so that they can look across the river from Julu.
According to Temur's idea, relying on the city to defend, even if a pig is a guard, he can hold out for ten days and a half months.
I didn't expect that the cronies I relied on were not even as good as pigs.
After venting for a while, Temur reined in his temper again, and said to the generals on the left and right: "Withdraw to Yuan Cheng!" ”
At this time, Temur was not carried away by anger, and he naturally understood the difference between defending a city and besieging it.
Although he lost the 100-year-old pass, he didn't plan to take it back now.
Once he goes to attack the city, it is easy to attack and defend, which is not good for him, or withdraw to Yuancheng and wait for the enemy army to attack safely.
100-year-old Guanzhong.
Schrödinger held the teacup in his hand, took a sip slowly, and then looked at the sand table in front of him, talking with the generals around him.
"Your Majesty, the hundred-year-old pass has been broken, and the army of Temur must have withdrawn here!" It was a veteran who spoke.
The veteran pointed to a city on the sand table.
Schrödinger looked at it and muttered, "Yuan Cheng! ”
Speaking of this, Schrödinger suddenly recalled the glory of the year.
He was very familiar with this Yuan City, and when he pacified the Southern Barbarians, he was stationed in this city.
But he didn't expect that after so many years in the blink of an eye, he would hear this name again because of such a situation.
Because of the unique geographical location of this city, it is near the southern Xinjiang, there are many barbarians, and it is also a high city with thick walls, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no less than the giant deer.
Yuancheng is not far from the Hundred Years Old Pass, Mo is about a hundred miles, and the Hundred Years Old Pass is lost, if Temur does not want to attack it back. Instead, he planned to retreat strategically for a while, and Yuancheng was indeed the best location.
Suddenly thinking of something, the corners of Schrödinger's mouth rose slightly.
If he really retreated to Yuancheng, it would be of great benefit to himself.
Schrödinger has been stationed in Yuancheng for many years, and he is familiar with every flower and tree there, and even now there are still his old generals in Yuancheng.
It is even most convenient to know how to break the city.
After all, although Yuan Cheng is good, it is not nowhere!
At least Schrödinger knew a few loopholes when he was stationed here.
After the veteran general spoke, another middle-aged Confucian general spoke: "Although what the old general said is reasonable, in my opinion, Temur will not withdraw his troops!" ”
"The strength of the Temur army is heavy, if it really wants to fight with us to the death, it is bound to recapture the 100-year-old pass, and the army's heart will not be broken!"
When everyone heard this, they also nodded.
For a while, the people in the tent turned into two factions and began to argue
In the end, it was Schrödinger who set the tone.
"That's it! In the past few days, the 100-year-old pass has been strictly guarded in advance to prevent Temur from attacking. ”
"At the same time, send spies to Yuancheng, I want to know if the Temur army has withdrawn to Yuancheng!"
"At the same time, the army is ready, after five days, if Temur does not attack, but withdraws troops from Yuancheng, we will send troops to Yuancheng!"
Five days later, everyone was on guard for several days, but they could not wait for Temur's attack, and Schrödinger led the army towards Yuancheng.
Along the way, Schrödinger was a little worried.
The two arguments in the barracks before represented an analysis of the two battle situations.
If Timur withdrew, he decided to defend the main thing.
If Temur was to attack, he decided to attack.
If it is compared to the momentum of the grassland army in the past, Temur will most likely attack!
Even Schrödinger's own subconscious wanted Temur to take the initiative.
In this way, the two armies are directly facing each other, but they can be quickly resolved.
But now that Temur had withdrawn his troops, he would rather lose his strength than withdraw his troops.
This can show the attitude of Temur towards this battle.
Timur was even more steady, knowing that although he was not afraid of this battle, there was no need to take the initiative.
Forced to bear is the only way to have an advantage!
What he was worried about now was that Timur was going not to fight, and he kept delaying it.
Considering each other's geography, logistics, or their own age, it would be detrimental to their side to procrastinate.
However, thinking that in Yuan Cheng, he had another benefit, and the worries in Schrödinger's heart slowly dissipated.
……
Yuan Cheng.
As Schrödinger worried, at this time, Timur had already arranged for 200,000 southerners to strictly guard the city!
His iron cavalry did not plan to take the initiative to fight, and stayed in the city to recuperate!
His plan is simple, not active, but to resist fiercely, hold the city, and wait until the enemy army is discouraged, then take the initiative to cater to it!
Use 200,000 southerners to hold the city, and bring Schrödinger's army to attack the city after being exhausted, then choose to kill the iron cavalry and break the enemy!
……
Finally, Schrödinger's army rushed out of Yuan City.
There was some confusion between the formations, and Temur in the city saw it, as if he had not seen it.
Although he is excited, he understands that his opponent is not an ordinary person, and it is very likely to be a trap.
Moreover, their strategy is not to take the initiative, the enemy has not been discouraged, and it is not yet the time for a counteroffensive.
Schrödinger could only sigh when he saw the performance of the city.
This was a flaw he deliberately sold, but he didn't expect Temur not to be fooled.
Or Temur should have already made up his mind to pay attention, and the consumption of defending the city is really not good for himself and others!
In this case, Schrödinger could only choose to fight steadily and order, and ordered the left and right to set up camp first!
The time of this battle is not short!
Soon, Schrödinger's army was encamped, and in the blink of an eye, it was a night.
The night was peaceful.
On the second day, Schrödinger did not attack the city, but began to build siege equipment.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!
Since Timur doesn't take the initiative, then it's better to be more patient with each other!
Although Schrödinger didn't want to procrastinate, he definitely couldn't show it.
It's a psychological war!
In the blink of an eye, it was half a moon, and all the equipment and buildings that should be built were completed.
At this time, there were also a lot of irritable and warlike voices in the barracks.
Schrödinger's morale was available, and it was indeed time to capture it, so he pushed the boat down the river and ordered the army to attack the city!
