Chapter 477: Layout
"General Li, although I have been in ambush for two days, you and I are the same, who of our two good brothers is not tired, but this little bitterness is nothing to us and other soldiers, we serve in the army, naturally for the general's thoughts, for the people of the county, so even if I lose my Ma's life, I will not give up!"
General Ma stood up, and at this time, the two of them began to struggle with the task of destroying the grain and grass of the Qing army.
"General Ma, I'm also thinking about you, think about it, how long has it been since you woke up from your last serious injury, I am waiting for the general in the army, and I also want to carry out this mission!"
"General Li thinks about me, I naturally understand, but this mission, I have to go."
"General Ma, why can't you listen to my brother's advice, do you know that this mission is very dangerous, and it's hard to say if you can come back after you go!"
"It is precisely because this mission is very dangerous, and it is precisely because this mission may not come back that I want to go, General Li, you listen to me, you are still young, you need to train by the general's side again, leave this mission to me!"
"But, I, I~~~"
This time, Li Qing was also speechless.
"Okay, the two generals are for the good of each other, but also for the good of the people in the county, you don't have to fight for this matter, in my heart, there are already candidates."
Seeing that the two of them were talking about it, I stopped it and said, "In this matter, I still decided to let General Ma go!" ”
When he first heard me say that there was already a candidate, Li Qing thought that I was talking about him, but when he heard that I was talking about General Ma, this guy's face immediately turned dark.
"No, no, General, did you say the wrong name? I, should I go? ”
Li Qing is a little unfavorable when he speaks, this guy seems to really want to carry out this mission!
"I'm not wrong, this time it's really General Ma who goes, of course, you can't be idle, I have other tasks for you!"
Hearing me say this, Li Qingcai nodded and took a step back.
"Here's my plan this time."
With that, I glanced at everyone, walked to the front of the mold, and began to assign tasks.
"General Ma, this time you led 10,000 horses out of the city and camped fifty miles east of the city, where it is a dense forest, you must hide it well, and you can't let the spies of the Qing army find out where you are. The Qing army will attack the city tomorrow, and if they can't take it, they will surround the entire county, and we will defend the county seat, and strive to maximize their consumption, and you, observe the situation outside the city, depending on the situation, to destroy their grain and grass, if nothing else, it will be three days, after three days, you can lead the troops to burn their grain and grass, and things will naturally be easy to do after the food is broken, if they are interested, they will naturally withdraw their troops and leave, if they fight to the death, they will definitely be wiped out. ”
"And General Li Qing, you go out of the city to General Wang Qi now, you inform General Wang Qi that the Qing army is coming to besiege the city, let him lead a group of soldiers and horses to rescue, and you are there with a group of soldiers and horses to detour to the rear route where the Qing army came, they will have a grain and grass supply line, you just need to destroy their grain and grass, cut off their supply line, and stay there so that their grain and grass cannot be transported, and when the time comes, when the Qing army withdraws, you don't want to fight with them, just lead the troops to withdraw yourself, and I will also remember your great achievements."
"The rest of the generals stay in the city, we are here to prepare, just wait for the 100,000 troops of the Qing army to come and taste our strength!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
"I'll wait for this to be executed!"
General Ma, Li Qing, Ma Ling and others listened to it, turned around and left.
Li Qing went out of the city relatively easily, and only took a deputy general and a team of more than 100 cavalry out of the city gate, of course, and my handwritten letter to Wang Qi.
General Ma integrated the men and horses, took his 2,000 strange soldiers, and transferred 8,000 people from the men and horses of General Da Mo and Li Qing, and combined them into a cavalry of 10,000 people.
"Burning the enemy's grain and grass will be a speed, General Ma, our county town can rely on your 10,000 cavalry!"
Sending General Ma out of the city, my heart has been hanging.
This matter is very dangerous, it feels like letting General Ma go to death, if we can successfully burn the grain and grass of the Qing army, we still have a way to live, if not, we will all have to die.
"General, please be relieved, I will not disgrace my life when I go out of the city this time, and I will definitely burn the grain and grass of the Qing army, even if it is to take my life!"
"No, what I want is for you to bring this group back, they are all treasures in our army, you have to bring me back safely."
Hearing this, General Ma nodded with tears in his eyes, and led the men and horses out of the city directly towards the place I said.
"General, this big battle is coming, whether we can defeat the Qing army, all of them are counting on General Ma and General Li, and whether one of them can burn the grain and grass of the Qing army, and whether the other team can cut off the grain and grass supply line of the Qing army."
Standing on the gatehouse, looking at General Ma and the others who were leaving, General Mole also came over and sighed.
"No, there is still you, whether the county can hold it depends on the 20,000 horses you bring and the remaining 10,000 people."
Looking at the big mole general, I said again: "The Qing army came, the first siege was definitely the most tragic, this time it is all up to you, if you can hold the city for the first time without being breached by the Qing army, then the next will be much easier, and then their siege will not be so fierce, maybe they will besiege but not attack." But if that's the case, we'll need to force them to storm the city once, and in a big way! ”
Hearing me say this, General Mole looked at me with some confusion: "Huh? General, you don't understand this! ”
"General Ma, what are they doing when they go out? They went out to destroy the grain and grass of the Qing army, if the Qing army just besieged but did not attack, then how could General Ma have the opportunity to burn their grain and grass? Therefore, what we have to do is to let them attack the city once after they besiege the city, create an opportunity for General Ma, and let General Ma lead the army to come, so that the chances of victory will be greater! ”
General Mole nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I see, it's just that if we resist the first attack of the Qing army, and then they can't break through the city, if they really don't attack the city, they should be thinking about trapping us inside, so that our food and grass supply is insufficient, so that Houxian City surrenders, but we have enough food and grass in the city, as long as the Qing army can't break through the city, we can defend it for three or five years without worry, so how can we let the Qing army attack the city in a big way?" ”
"Hahahaha~~~ You don't have to worry about this problem, don't worry, I already have a plan in my heart, as long as this person plays enough, the Qing army will naturally come to attack the city, and as soon as they come to attack the city, it will be a large army attack, which can be said to be the kind of more than 100,000 people who killed together, so are you still afraid that General Ma will not have a chance at that time?"
As I spoke, I asked the soldiers defending the city to step up their deployment, and bring everything that could be used to defend the city.
The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, the Qing army is 100,000 horses, we are waiting for you!
"General, look, look at what's down there?"
The next morning, when the sun had just climbed up the hill, and I had not yet woken up in the gatehouse, the general of the mole pushed me a few times, and I was so frightened that I got up in a hurry.
"Oh my God, so many people?"
When I saw the scene under the city gates, my eyes widened.
The eyes of the people on the tower were also incredible at this time, and the voices of the discussion were trembling.
"General, 100,000 people are so many?"
The general was stunned for a long time, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he was not calm.
"That's not just 100,000 people, at least tens of thousands!"
The Qing army below the castle tower can see it clearly from the castle tower, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as endless.
Everywhere, everywhere is the sound of war horses, such a lineup, I have never seen it.
"General, this Qing army looks very imposing, their morale is so high, there are so many people, our plan?"
General Mole couldn't believe all this in front of him, but this is the real thing that turned over in front of our eyes, and the eyes will not deceive us.
"The plan doesn't need to change, it's just that what we're facing now is a big problem, if so many people come to attack the city, can we bear it?"
If more than 100,000 people attack the city, it would be strange if we could hold it.
General Mole brought 20,000 horses, plus the rest of us in the city, now there are only 40,000 people, and outside, more than 100,000, we can take it, that's a monster!
"General, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we will not have a problem!"
When General Mole said this, the soldiers defending the city had already made preparations and were waiting for the other party to attack the city.
But after a while, what appeared outside the city made us all stupid, and I trembled and said, "Oh my God, they have artillery, this thing is attacking the city, we are just afraid of planting!" ”
All of a sudden, a large array of cannons were placed outside the city, but I am afraid that there are no less than 100 cannons, if they bombard us with these cannons, then we are only afraid that there will be corpses all over the field, and there will be bombed dead bodies everywhere!
Can we stand up to a few of their attacks?
"General, I heard that this thing is very powerful, there is only one on our side, and it is only available under General Wang Qi's subordinates, this thing is bombed all over the sky, what should we do?"
General Mole was still a little sure just now, but now that he sees these cannons, let alone grasp, he just expects us not to be slaughtered!
