Chapter 462

"Now there are only 50,000 enemy troops, and all of them are shield soldiers, and there is no doubt that the enemy commander deceived our army and was afraid of their shield soldiers. If our army cannot defend it, it will undoubtedly consider itself invincible to the shield soldiers of the Wing Army, and after the news of this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will be extremely unfavorable for our army to continue to stay in the Snow Country. ”

"The enemy commander may have his intentions, but not going to war can also allow their strategy to be successfully implemented, and the general feels that he should go to battle immediately, and take the wing army by surprise and raise the prestige of our army. ”

The situation has developed to this point, and those generals who are fighting in the main battle have come forward one after another, one by one competing to express their opinions, and those conservative generals are silent one by one, as if they have no ability to refute the main battle at all. In the camp, the behavior of the generals was undoubtedly continuing to exert pressure on Zhao Xu, but no one could express dissenting opinions and share worries for Zhao Xu, so that Zhao Xu felt that the battle was already expected many times.

For a while, Zhao Xu actually had a feeling that it was difficult to disobey the will of the people, and now it was the first time that Zhao Xu experienced the difficulties of being the commander of the three armies, I don't know if Zhao Wu had a similar feeling before, in short, now Zhao Xu really wants to let go of the burden on his shoulders, maybe it will be easier to be a master.

"I wonder if the generals have ever considered what should be done if the commander of the wing army leads a large army to attack our army after we have fought with the enemy? Do you really think that with less than 150,000 troops of our army, we can defeat the enemy's 280,000 troops?" As the commander of the arrow battalion, Fang Quyin has always kept a clear head. Although he was angry at the actions of the Wing Army, like many generals, Fang Quyin did not lose his proportions.

"What General Fang said is exactly what I want to say, when Marshal Zhao Wu led us all the way to victory, it was not because of the tenacious strength of our army, but more in the strategy of using troops. In every battle, Marshal Zhao Wu's instructions to us were always clear, and the blows to the Snow Army were always unexpected. ”

After a pause, the speaking general continued: "And now we seem to have been unpredictable about the enemy army. If our every move is under the control of the enemy, I am afraid that as long as there is any unexpected situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to resist, so I advise you to consider the situation of both the enemy and us. ”

The person who spoke was the one who violated Zhao Wujun's order when he intercepted the Snow Army, and after the ambush of the Snow Army failed, he insisted on confronting the Snow Army head-on but did not defeat the Snow Army.

Since Zhang Yitong was reprimanded by Zhao Wu on that day, he has always been low-key and rarely expressed his opinions during deliberations. However, it is worth mentioning that as one of the main generals of the cavalry battalion, Zhang Yitong may be the only general among all the generals in the cavalry battalion who does not lead the battle, because Zhang Yitong has never expressed the idea of going to war. No matter what mistakes he made before, Zhang Yitong has always been a main general, and now two of the five main generals have said that they cannot play, which is naturally very weighty. The support of the two gave Zhao Xu, who was in a dilemma, the confidence to strengthen his inner thoughts.

"The two generals are right, but do the two generals know the situation in the camp? Now the soldiers can't sleep well and eat well because of the harassment of the wing army, and they have a lot of complaints about us, the generals, and how can we lead the soldiers to fight in the long run. I'm afraid that before the wing army comes, our army will open the city and surrender first. As a representative of the main fighting side, Zhang Daring has always been reluctant to accept the concept of defending the city.

"General Zhang is right, when our army first came, the army was united and the army was strong. Now under the interference of the wing army, the army's morale is weakened, and most of the soldiers have no intention of training, if this continues, the army is not like an army, and the army will not be like a general, what else can we do to defend the city?" After Zhang boldly explained the situation of the army, Yan Nantian, another chief general of the arrow battalion, also had a feeling.

Regardless of whether the two of them are right or not, what they are talking about now is a realistic problem, and the situation in the night camp is indeed very bad at the moment, but I am afraid that the longer it drags on, the worse the situation will be.

The different opinions of the two parties made Lan Feng confused, Lan Feng felt justified in avoiding the war for a while, and felt that he had to fight, and in the end he didn't know how to decide at all, so he could only look at Zhao Xu.

"The generals are calm and impatient, and after listening to the general's analysis of the current situation, the generals will make plans," Zhao Xu couldn't refute Zhang Da Dan and Yan Nantian's words, so he could only say some of his own opinions.

"The current shameless behavior of the Wing Army is precisely testing the strength of our army's will, and scolding war is only a means to force our army to fight. Why are the Wing Army so attentive in this regard, I wonder if the generals have considered it?"

After a pause, without waiting for the other generals to speak, Zhao Xu continued: "The reason why the Wing Army is like this is because the Wing Army does not dare to attack the city, and the Wing Army has 300,000 troops, which is relatively large compared to our army. Even so, the Winged Army did not dare to attempt even a siege, because the Winged Commander knew that they would only succeed once in attacking the city, and if they failed once, it would be even more difficult for them to attack the city again. ”

"I thought that the reason why the Wing Army did not come to attack the city was because the Wing Army had no certainty of victory. On the one hand, the strong walls will give our army a great advantage, and on the other hand, it will also give the winged army the advantage of the shield soldiers specially prepared to deal with our cavalry, which alone will be enough to make up for the difference in strength between the enemy and us. ”

"In the final analysis, the Wing Army did not dare to attack the city because they were afraid of our army, and our soldiers had been through many battles, and each of them was extremely brave, and their combat strength was far superior to them. The commander of the wing army knew that our army dared to fight, so he would rather give up the numerical advantage than use despicable means to lead our army into battle. ”

"There is also the commander of the wing army is at the behest of the Qingyuan great power to recruit our army, presumably the Qingyuan great country must require them to achieve certain results as soon as possible, so it is the wing army that is really in a hurry, not us. If the generals are deceived by the current superficial phenomenon and persuade the general to send troops, then our army is very likely to lose to the enemy at that time.

Zhao Xu told the cultivators what he had thought of recently, and in the end, although he asked the generals, he still showed Zhao Xu's own opinion, and the meaning expressed by Zhao Xu was extremely simple, and he refused to fight if he held his own advantage. But what Zhao Xu asked was whether the generals were willing to give up all their advantages and risk the current situation to send troops to fight to the death with the wing army.

The difference between the two points of view is extremely obvious, according to Zhao Xu's analysis, even Lan Feng can hear that playing in the battle is simply risking the fate of their night country, Lan Feng feels that everything Zhao Xu said is reasonable. It's just that there were so many generals fighting just now, and Lan Feng didn't want to intervene now.

On the other side, Zhao Xu's words had calmed down the generals who were originally in the main battle, and from Zhang Daring onwards, they considered whether what Zhao Xu said was correct or not as if they had lost their temper, and soon someone came to a conclusion.

"What the general said is exactly that the wing army must be in a hurry to start a war with our army and dare not take the initiative to attack the city, so it will come to curse the war like this. If the Wing Army really thinks that they are stronger than us, I am afraid that the army will have already overwhelmed the border, so why use this kind of indiscriminate means," it was Yan Nantian, the commander of the arrow battalion, who spoke, and this person had clearly stated his point of view on the main battle before, but after Zhao Xu's analysis, this person's attitude changed greatly from the main battle to the main defense.

"What General Yan said is true, the wing army is cowardly and does not dare to attack, so it can only use some despicable means to lure me and others into being fooled. If we easily send troops and fall into the enemy's tricks, our army can lose to the enemy when the enemy army attacks the city, but we must not fall into the enemy's trap and ruin the wisdom of the general and Marshal Zhao Wu. "The one who spoke was a cavalry general, and this person was naturally in the camp of the main battle before, but after seeing the situation clearly, he wisely chose to trust Zhao Xu.

Then several generals of the main battle expressed their agreement with Zhao Xu's decision, as for the original people who were in charge of the defense, they showed that they were willing to obey Zhao Xu's command, Zhao Xu's words reversed the situation in the army, from just now only a small number of people supported the defense of the city, and now only a small number of people hesitated, one by one lost self-confidence and thought about whether they should stick to the main battle.

It's just that Zhao Xu's words shook what Zhang Daring, the representative of the main fighting side, said, Zhang Daring didn't speak, and other generals who had doubts naturally wouldn't be the first to say something.

Zhang Daring hesitated, Yan Nantian completely changed his opinion, and there was another main general who was left with a silent face, obviously having no idea of fighting.

"Why have you all changed your minds?" Zhang Daring felt a little embarrassed as he watched the generals who had previously supported him change their minds, including even his own direct subordinates. As the commander of the cavalry battalion, Zhang Daring naturally did not rely only on strength to be promoted. Zhang Daring also felt that what Zhao Xu said was very reasonable, and now the real urgency of the battle was that the wing army should not be them, but to change their views casually like other generals, Zhang Daring felt that he had lost his majesty as the main general.

"Could it be that General Zhang still insists on going to war?" Seeing that Zhang Daring didn't seem to be moved by Zhao Xu's words, Fang Quyin looked puzzled, wondering what Zhang Daring was thinking.

"Ben Jiang didn't mean that," Zhang Daring shook his head and didn't dare to say it too absolutely, and then explained with some embarrassment: "Ben Jiang just wants to know more about what everyone means." ”

"I don't know what His Highness thinks?" Seeing that Zhang Daring's position was not firm, the other general who was in charge of the battle simply gave up supporting Zhang Daring, and instead asked Lan Feng what he meant.

"Marshal Zhao handed over the position of the general to General Zhao, and let General Zhao be responsible for commanding the three armies, presumably Marshal Zhao himself did not have the slightest doubt about the ability of the general, His Royal Highness has always admired Marshal Zhao Wu, and naturally believes in the general," Lan Feng's words were quite flattering, but as a prince, Lan Feng's move was natural.

If he can have a good relationship with Zhao Xu and Zhao Wu, it will play a very decisive role in Lan Feng's future, and Lan Feng is not completely flattering Zhao Xu when he says this, Lan Feng is also telling the truth. In addition, even if the other generals felt that Lan Feng was flattering Zhao Xu, no one would dare to come out.

"Since His Royal Highness believes in the general so much, how can we not trust the general, it is up to the general to decide whether to fight or not," pushed the boat down the river, according to Lan Feng's words, Yan Nantian expressed his position in public.
