Chapter 551: A dilemma
Tan Zong was in a dilemma.
If he could wake up Li Fuzai with a knife at this time, he would definitely rush to the bed of Houcheng without hesitation, and even if he did it himself, he would stab the other party seventy or eighty times from head to toe, so that he would wake up quickly and make a decision as soon as possible whether to withdraw or continue to attack the city.
At this time, Tan Zong had long forgotten that not long ago, he was still looking forward to a mutiny in the army, dragging Li Fuzai from the commander's position, and finally relying on his own hands to suppress and replace him.
Until now, he just wanted to put this cauldron of defeat firmly on Captain Li's head, and not ask himself to bear it.
Tan Zong listened to the soldier talk about Li Fuzai's injury for a long time, and his heart was like being roasted by fire, and he was tormented, thinking about it left and right, and couldn't help but go to the back account.
Li Fuzai was still unconscious, although the blood was barely stopped, the fever did not completely retreat.
The military doctor who followed the army did not dare to go away, and they were all in the tent at night, and when they saw Tan Zong coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and told Li Fuzai about his injuries one by one.
The more Tan Zong listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, knowing that this time he was cured, and within two or three days, it would be difficult to wake up. He asked carefully for a long time, returned to his camp, and convened his cronies overnight.
The generals heard what Tan Zong said, and they all didn't want to go to Guangzhou again, and they didn't want to attack the city again.
A general said: "General, at this time, the grain has been burned clean, if it can't be sent back, I'm afraid that the army will have to eat and drink in two days, the Jin people only came today with a few thousand cavalry, and they fought like this, if they come to reinforcements in two days, how can we resist?" Those surnamed Xiao in Guangyuan Prefecture are about to turn the sky upside down, don't hold back, don't expect them to help-not only that, but also draw out people to keep an eye on the anti-deserters......"
Tan Zong was irritated when he heard this.
The number of deserters in these two days was indeed terrifying.
Li Fuzai originally used the method of forced pressure, and forcibly left the lord of Guangyuan Prefecture here, and the lords led by Huang Mo'er were unconvinced, and then attacked the city for a long time, the people of Guangyuan died the most, and the most miserable injuries, originally Li Fuzai's soldiers were many strong, and everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, at this moment, taking advantage of his serious injuries, intentionally or unintentionally, often fled with his subordinates.
The army in the camp was disheartened, and there was a mess everywhere, Tan Zong was really anxious, where did he have the spare strength to defend them one by one, so he could only order people to follow a few families who ran rampantly, and sent people to arrest them and kill them to make an example, but more of them ran away and ran away.
With the people of Guangyuan Prefecture taking the lead, many soldiers in the Jiaozhi battalion also followed, with ten, ten with hundreds, and if this continues, there is no need to wait for the Jin people to fight again, and they will have civil strife.
The morale of the army was unstable, the morale was greatly reduced, the grain and grass were burned, and everything seemed to be forcing Tan Zong to retreat.
But he still hesitated.
If he can find a way to capture Yongzhou City this time, even if he doesn't go to Guangzhou and goes straight back to Jiaozhi, he will have his merits, and Li Fuzai will be on top of it, maybe he will carry it over, and he can still make a name for himself in the DPRK.
Being able to step on Lee Fu Jae's head is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Although it is really not easy, it is not a time to seek wealth and danger!
The greater the danger, the greater the reward!
The Jin people also have a saying, called "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger"! If he doesn't go to siege the city, how can he get a big reward?
Tan Zongzheng was thinking about whether there was a way to reluctantly retract the hearts of the army and find out the weakness of the Jin cavalry - come back today, count once, at most only two or three thousand troops, although they are all elite, but not much, as long as you find a way to drag it out, and then storm the city, Yongzhou is estimated to be broken.
While he was thinking, a thought suddenly flashed through his heart, and he almost cried out, "Not good! ”
All the generals looked at it anxiously.
Tan Zong hurriedly said: "The Jin cavalry came from behind, not to mention hundreds of people, where are they going now?!" ”
Everyone looked at each other.
Tan Zong hurriedly turned his head to a general and asked, "When will the grain in the rear arrive this time?" ”
The camp waited for many days, but this round of grain was still delayed.
The logistics and transport of the DPRK and China are accustomed to being unexpected, and it should have arrived in 10 days, but it will arrive in 20 days, and it is already a matter of snickering; this time, the grain and straw were supposed to arrive last month, but it was delayed a few days ago before they could be trusted, saying that they had already arrived from Lianzhou, and that the days were counted, either yesterday or today.
Sure enough, the general heard Tan Zong's question, was stunned for a moment, and it didn't take long for him to react, and replied: "It should be here yesterday!" ”
Tan Zong was a little flustered in his heart.
For the first time, he wished that the people who were carrying the grain and straw would walk more slowly, and that it would be better to travel three days in one day, and preferably three or five days before they would go to the camp.
He didn't dare to think about it, for fear that as long as he thought in that direction, things would really develop in that direction, so he only looked up to find a trustworthy general, pointed the other party's name, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and send two thousand soldiers to pick up the grain!" ”
The general hurriedly received the order and walked out quickly.
The tent was a little depressed for a while.
Originally, most of the grain in the camp had been burned, and if anything happened to the rations transported later, would they really have to eat grass and soil?
Where would Tan Zong not know that now the first battalion, from the generals to the soldiers, all of them were fluctuating, so he found a lot of words to appease, but after saying a few words, the partial general who had just gone out to receive the grain had already returned in a hurry, and he also led a soldier behind him.
The soldier entered the tent, and immediately fell to his knees with a "plop", and was about to reply, when he saw that the tent was full of people, and he looked hesitant.
Tan Zong knew that it was not good, but the account was full of his cronies, and there was nothing to hide, so he urged: "What happened?" ”
When the soldier saw Tan Zong's order, he no longer hesitated, and hurriedly said: "General, the grain and grass transported from Xiazhou were burned halfway......
The soldiers who delivered the message stood tremblingly under their heads, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads again, let alone look at Tan Zong's face, so they only said: "I don't know how many people came from the other side, the food delivery team was only halfway through, and seeing that there was only half a day's journey left, suddenly many cavalrymen appeared halfway, they held swords and axes in their hands, killed people when they saw them, and ran ......when they lit the fire."
Tan Zong hadn't asked yet, and the general on the side had already asked, "Where are the right guards?!" Do you just let them burn the grain and run away?? ”
The soldier said helplessly: "The Jin people are cavalry, and they can't catch up with ......."
The soldiers only said half of the words, but the other half was killed and didn't dare to say - even if the other party didn't run, the Jin cavalry were all elite, and the little force that protected the grain really couldn't beat it!
Tan Zong's half-yellow teeth were about to be crushed by himself.
Cavalry again......
Two legs fight four legs, how can you beat it?
Where did so many war horses emerge from Quang Nam! If you don't eat meat well if you raise a horse, what kind of battle will you use it for!!
