Chapter 480: Tanzhou (20)

There was a dead silence in the big tent, and everyone looked at Zhang Wenbiao with their mouths open in shock. If they were nervous and worried before, but they were not desperate, then Zhang Wenbiao's words just now gave them a slap in the face, making them realize that things were so bad that they couldn't get out of control.

The logistics channel was blocked, and the dredging did not know when, the grain and grass in the army were burned, and there were only three days of food.

"In three days, the army will run out of food, and the construction of our army's siege equipment is only half complete, and it has not yet been completely built. The grain and grass are urgent, and the back road is cut off. The siege was not ready, and the morale was greatly damaged. Generals, our situation is very bad. ”

Zhang Wenbiao pointed out the current situation of the Jiangbei army without subtlety, and the generals were stunned one by one, looking at Zhang Wenbiao with dull eyes, and a feeling of despair rose in their hearts.

"Li Yuan's purpose is very clear, that is, to cut off my grain and trap us. Attacking while our army is running out of food and demoralizing can crush our army in one fell swoop. Therefore, the current situation is so urgent that there can be no longer a moment's delay, and a decision must be made. Zhang Wenbiao's tone was solemn, word by word.

"What do you say you should do, my lord? Please make it clear to the king. ”

"There are not many choices in front of us, there are only two roads, one is to immediately evacuate Tanzhou and return to Jiangbei, but Li Yuan may have the possibility of leading the army to pursue, and the other is to launch an attack immediately, no longer need to wait for all the siege equipment to be built. As long as Tanzhou is captured in one fell swoop, everything will be solved. Your small army can drive straight into Langzhou, the pseudo-Chu capital. What do you think are the seven strategies that can be used? Xu Shineng said in a deep voice.

The generals, he look at you, you look at him, and several low-level generals also have to speak. Those young generals understood that since Xie Shisheng hadn't put forward those two choices yet, I wouldn't have an answer in my heart, so I was worried about it in vain, but the rest of the generals thought so, and we were silent for a moment before they all discussed it coldly.

"The last general thought that in the future situation, it was easy to attack the city. There were only eight days of food and grass in the army, and half of the arrows and supplies were burned. It doesn't hurt if the firewood is burned, after all, the trees under the surrounding mountains can't be replenished. But the shortage of food and grass was fatal.

Attacking the city at this time is different from breaking the boat. Once the siege is blocked and the food and grass are consumed, it will be too late to even come at that time. For the sake of prudence, the last general thought that it was necessary to choose a strategy to enter the army, in order to preserve the small army, and then try to retreat the attack. One of the generals stood up and whispered.

What Xiao Wang said was extremely true, and the last general thought of that point, but he had time to say it. We can only retreat and advance later, which is only related to whether your Jiangbei army has no morale, and it is also related to the entire battle situation. How can it be said that it is easy to enter?

"Wronged, Xiao Wang, wronged, you don't have this intention. You're justβ€”" Zhang Wenbiao and Li Yuan cried out in unison.

"Follow Xiao Wang's order, you wait for the oath to break Tanzhou, whether it is broken or returned!" The generals got up and drank.

Now, you still don't have a small army of 100,000, how can you give up because of that temporary adversity? How can you miss the bad opportunity to make a contribution? You know, it's you who have to worry about it now, but Zhou Duo in this Tanzhou City, and my strength is lower than you. Why is Zhou Duo harassing you so wildly? Cut off your food and burn your military rations? But is he willing to fight head-on?

Now there are still no 100,000 small troops in hand, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer in the last battle. Once the army is entered, the chain reaction will be borne by itself, but how to dispel the idea that everyone wants to withdraw the army, and let us know that our heart of siege is tolerant of change, we need to focus on the typical killing.

The words of those two people represented the voices of a small group of generals, and when our words came out, they immediately won the echo of a group of generals.

Zhang Wenbiao and Li Yuan were pushed out of the tent with sad faces, pressed on the ground and beat 80 military sticks, but fortunately, the physical fitness of the seven people was wrong, so they survived, and they were pushed back from the tent in blood, and they could only lie down under the two futons to continue the meeting.

"Come on, drag Zhang Wenbiao and Li Yuan out of the tent, and take eighty military sticks seriously!" Xu Shineng shouted.

Xu Shineng laughed, stood up, waved his hand and said, "Bad, that's the bad son in the hands of this king!" As long as our whole army works together and hates the same enemy, the end of this dog thief Zhou Duo is coming! ”

The generals were white-eyed, and their hearts were extremely disdainful. That guy's ability led to the crisis behind him, and now he jumped out and fired a cannon and fell into the trap on my people. My sycophant kung fu is wrong, before I know Xiao Wang's thoughts, I came out to echo Xiao Wang's words, how disgusting his personality is, Xiao Wang seems to have forgiven me a long time ago.

"The two armies are fighting, both fighting power and wit, and there is no time when the change of the small situation is in a thought. None of them thought it was a good idea to advance, but it was the best policy. Why? It's that they are deceived by appearances, and they have the intention of looking at Du Zhouduo! At this time, there is no way for you to wait for it, which is to launch a fierce attack!

Zhang Wenbiao and Li Yuan's seven people are talking nonsense, but they are actually afraid of war. The last general thought that at this time, there was no retreat and advance, and it was necessary to break through the cauldron and attack Tanzhou. And in Xiao Wang's following, there is nothing difficult to break in Tanzhou? The last general doesn't have enough confidence in Xiao Wang! Zhang Gu got up at the wrong time and said impassionedly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king is talented, but he has also experienced a hundred battles, and there are dozens of small and large wounds under his body. Since the beginning of the army, there have been several defeats, and this time your army was blocked by luck and luck!

The last general agreed, and at this time, it was enough to attack the city in terms of morale, materials, and even preparations. Unless you can break the city within eight days, you will be a lamb to the slaughter until your little army runs out of food. But in the future, who dares to guarantee that Tanzhou will be broken within eight days? The Chu army is so ferocious, let's say that now, when all your soldiers are well fed, no one may dare to boast that they can succeed in the siege! Another general chimed in in unison.

Zhang Wenbiao turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Wang, what mistake did the last general and General Zhou make?" ”

Xie Shisheng really hasn't made up his mind yet, and he is determined to attack the city with all his might. I also know that at that time, the morale of the army was sluggish, and very few people had not lost their fighting spirit, and they all hoped to withdraw the army to ensure safety, but we were able to do so in order to protect ourselves. Once the troops are withdrawn, it means that the decisive battle will be lost, and the consequences are conceivable.

Xu Zhouqi was very fortunate to have become that model. Slam the board up, and then add a small hat to button it up, who would dare to mention everything again?

"So, that?" Xu Zhou's seven people were dumbfounded, and the generals in the tent were also dumbfounded. Xu Shineng's reason is actually refuted, and it has not yet risen to the low level of the imperial court to reconcile Shisheng's own safety, who dares to argue? If we look at it from that low level, the eighty military sticks can be regarded as our luck, and it is too much to cut them directly, and it is necessary to argue that the eighty military sticks are bad if we know the current affairs.

Xu Shineng's words really did not give birth to a sense of openness, after such an analysis, these harassments after the dismissal of the priest seem to be a kind of big trick on the top of the Nai, all of them have to deliberately force their morale to collapse, give birth to a sense of jealousy, and then achieve the purpose of deterrence, and bad Xiao Wang saw through my tricks.

So the king has to correct that accuracy. The king has decided to finish the siege before noon, and to return to the camp to feed their brethren, and let us sleep for an hour or two to recuperate our spirits.

"Shut up! But the king has wronged them. Even if they didn't have this intention, it had already shaken the morale of the army. No, have they thought about it, if you withdraw your troops at this moment, your morale will inevitably be slightly reduced, and if Zhou Duo takes the opportunity to retreat east and pursue with all the troops of the country, and go straight into the hinterland of your Jiangbei, how should you resist at that time? Do they want the court to be overthrown, do they want this king to die and have a place to be buried?! ”

Who wouldn't agree with the same opinion? Who would dare not have the same opinion? What can we say but obey orders? Coupled with Xu Shineng's words, it ignited a fire in everyone's hearts and inspired everyone's fighting spirit. After a few days, even the clay people will have fire in their hearts. Since the withdrawal of troops is possible, it is for the sake of survival, and it can only be ruined.

This is actually the manifestation of my fear of you in my heart, and I want to force you to be suspicious and suspicious, so as to fall into my arms, how can you fall for me? Guys, you have to understand that. ”

However, even if it is teeth, we can pretend to be completely refused, and nod and point at each other to show refusal. Because all my words are to deny Xiao Wang's wisdom and martial arts, a fool will do this.

The generals were stunned, Zhang Wenbiao and Li Yuan were the two generals who had just spoken about withdrawing their troops. Several pro-soldiers retreated into the tent, and one drove Zhang Wenbiao and Li Yuan inside.

Xu Shineng said in a heated voice: "They boast about how powerful the Chu army is, grow my morale, destroy their own prestige, and mess with your army's heart, their hearts can be punished!" Is that still wrong? Who would dare to assert that your small army has the strength to break through the city in eight days? What is the purpose of their little words and preaching for the enemy? ”

Take Tanzhou, you are the little heroes of the imperial court! This king hereby promises, take Tanzhou, everyone will be promoted to one level, the lord will be promoted to one rank, and those who are brave in battle will be rewarded more generously, and they will definitely break their promise! Don't you have any opinions? ”

Xie Shisheng sat quietly outside, staring at the dozen or so generals who echoed him with his eyes eagerly. The dozen or so generals suddenly felt that the atmosphere was right, and they hurriedly stopped talking and looked at Xu Shineng blankly.

Eight days of military rations, eight days, if you break the retreat, until the attack on Tanzhou. Although the siege equipment has not been completely built, it has not yet completed a small half, so we must wait a little longer. This king has figured it out, and as soon as it's over, you'll need to delay time in order to be fully prepared, and you only need to start the siege vehicle without a ladder.
