Chapter 11 The Question of Grain and Grass
Xie Fu's worries are not unreasonable, first of all, there are still remnants of the Western Frontier army in the city, they are hiding in the city, and they have not been completely wiped out.
Once the recruitment of new recruits is released, these remnants of the army may be reduced to pieces and secretly join several armies in Beihua. A powerful enemy is terrible, but a knife stabbed from behind is even more harmful, putting everyone at risk and demoralizing.
Mu Fan said: "You agree to stop the slaughter of the city, but you don't allow them to join us?" ”
Xie Fu nodded, "That's right, that's exactly the case." But...... General Tian blames it, and you will bear the blame. ”
"Okay, you nodded, the leaders of the remaining two armies, I'll ask too." Mu Fan pointed to the zombies under the city, "General Xie is optimistic, I'll leave." ”
Xie Fu said: "You go, here I am." ”
Mu Fan waved his hand, and the three fourth-rank generals from the left army followed and left, and the personal guard Zhongping went to the city to lead the flamingo horse first.
Xie Fu looked at the backs of Mu Fan and the others, and thought in his heart: "It turns out that you are a soft-hearted person, ruthless to demons, but you can't kill people, hehe...... Indecision will hurt you sooner or later! ”
He didn't know that Mu Fan had other plans in his heart, people are resources, and after having resources, what he can do is much stronger than the deterrent effect of killing.
Mu Fan met with several other generals and explained the matter, and after several people agreed, the order to stop the slaughter of the city was issued.
Zombies are still roaming around the city, not attacking or retreating, which is very weird.
There is not much food in the city, and it will last for a month at most. On the tenth day of defending the city, Xie Fu attacked again, this time he was fully prepared and dispatched 30,000 troops to explore the reality of the zombies.
The defensive strength of the zombies is not strong, 30,000 soldiers won a big victory, and the zombies are defeated and retreated, but there are many of them, and they can't be killed for a while.
Xie Fu didn't dare to rush forward, and ordered everyone to retreat, retreat into the city, and make plans later. At the same time, a lot of scouts were released to probe the enemy.
On the fifteenth day of defending the city, the main hall of the county guarded the mansion, and several army commanders gathered.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little dull, and everyone had arrived, but they had not begun to discuss for a long time.
"Let's talk about it." Mao Wencai broke the tranquility, he was the oldest, and it was good to start with him.
Ten days ago, the castle had already reported the situation to Tahama and asked Tahama what to do. Tian Bin only replied with one sentence: You make your own decisions.
That's why you're here today.
Xie Fu said, "Why don't we join forces to raid?" ”
Mu Fan said: "Has General Xie found out the enemy's situation?" ”
Xie Fu waved his hand, "No." ”
Mu Fan said: "The enemy situation is not clear, and it is too risky to raid rashly. ”
"So what to do!" Xie Fu raised his voice, if it wasn't Mu Fan on the other side, he would definitely roar out. Because Mu Fan was on the other side, he tried his best to control his emotions.
Mu Fan sighed: "You can't defend the city, you can only retreat." ”
Xie Fu said again: "Retreat? Retreat, we sacrificed so many people, and finally defeated Yuntui City, if you retreat, wouldn't they die in vain? ”
Chu Enguang followed and said: "That's right, the person who controls the zombies hasn't found out, so we just quit, and we may hand over the situation that we have finally opened to others." ”
Shi Hai didn't speak, observing the words and reactions of everyone on the field.
Mao Wencai said: "There is still enough food and grass for more than ten days, and within more than ten days, you will either raid and defeat the zombies outside the city, or you will be a teacher." ”
His meaning was clear, it was impossible to defend the city, there was not enough food and grass. The words of the class teacher are now on the agenda, and if they are raided, they must be planned as soon as possible.
In any case, a clear decision must be made at today's deliberations. Raid, or retreat.
Mu Fan said: "If you are reluctant to Yuntui City, then you can only raid." ”
Xie Fu nodded and said, "That's right, you can only raid!" ”
He turned his head to face the crowd, "What do you think?" Just give an answer. ”
Chu Enguang said: "General Xie, you have gone out of the city twice to fight with them, we have never fought with them in the field, you carefully talk about your senses." ”
"You can fight!" Xie Fu raised his voice again, "They are quite tightly organized, but after all, they are just dead bodies. The strength of a single person may be similar to that of the people in the rivers and lakes, and if there is a large-scale battle, their animal nature will be revealed, and we don't need to be afraid of them at all. ”
Chu Enguang faced Mu Fan and asked, "You have presided over the defense of the city, you can also talk about it." ”
"Zombies can't attack the city, there's nothing to worry about."
Chu Enguang pondered for a moment, "I think I can raid." ”
Mao Wencai said: "I support raids. ”
"Me too." Duguan Shihai said.
Everyone turned their eyes to Mu Fan, waiting for his reply.
"Then raid!" The other generals were already about to go to war, and Mu Fan chose to change his tune.
Several people were discussing, and a scout suddenly ran in from outside the county guard's mansion. Although there was a distance from the main gate of the county guard to the main hall, the people in the main hall were aware of it.
The scout entered the main hall, bowed down, clenched his hands into fists, raised them above his head, and said: "Enlighten the generals, there is a message from the west gate that the zombies are retreating, I don't know why. ”
Everyone immediately frowned, and after a long discussion here, the zombies left first.
Mao Wencai hurriedly said: "Is the news accurate?" ”
"It's true!" The scout replied.
Mu Fan leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "We don't have to do it." ”
Xie Fu sighed lightly and wondered, "Why did the zombies retreat?" ”
Mu Fan said: "I'm afraid that they will come back, after all, it is not us who defeat, in the end, we have not thought of a suitable way to deal with it." ”
There are a lot of zombies, many of them powerful, but from the time the zombies appeared to the time when the zombies were evacuated today, they behaved very strangely. There is no discipline in the action, as if there is no purpose.
Xie Fu was still frowning, and said to the guards beside him, "Go and pass my order, send more scouts to follow the zombies, and tell me immediately if they have any abnormal movements." I don't believe it, they're really besieged and played! ”
These words speak to the hearts of some of the people in the room, who always feel that things are not so simple.
Mu Fan said: "The matter of scouts, let's be dispatched by the Right Route Army, all members of the Left Route Army participate in the construction of the city defense, we build the city defense, even if the zombies dare to come back, they will not be able to find a place to put their mouths." ”
Mao Wencai said: "General Chu and I are responsible for guarding the city, Shihai, when will the supply of the army arrive?" ”
Shi Hai said helplessly: "I can't get it in a short time, and it will take a month at the earliest." From tomorrow onwards, we will have to reduce our food rations. ”
Mu Fan said: "Reduce the rations, I'm afraid the morale will drop greatly." ”
Chu Enguang sighed: "Fortunately, the zombies have retreated, there is no zombie threat, although reducing the rations will reduce morale, but it will not be irretrievable." ”
"If you decrease, you will reduce, when Lao Tzu fights with the demon clan, fuck, eat the meat of the demon clan without food, and still live!" Xie Fu shouted.
Shi Hai shook his head and said: "There are no demons here, zombie meat can't be eaten, and soldiers can't be allowed to eat people." If you really eat people, I'm afraid you won't be able to talk about morale. ”
