Chapter 34: The Battle of Chudu Begins!
Yang Fan drank the tea, moistened his throat, and returned the teacup to Dian Wei.
"Come on! Time waits for no one, the next batch is right away! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Yu Qian had already arranged for each batch of 10,000 people, and the next batch would be the next batch as soon as one batch was finished.
There are many, such as actors, all kinds of lines, all of which are all in place.
Yang Fan has been boosting morale until late at night, if it weren't for the fact that Dian Wei would send a cup of throat tea, Yang Fan's throat would have been gone.
"Alas! It's so hard to be an emperor. ”
At night, Yang Fan returned to the palace and grabbed a handful of cards and handed them to Chu Qianqian.
"Your Majesty, today's concubine has already heard what General Dian Wei said, Your Majesty has really worked hard."
Chu Qianqian brought over a bowl of tea and served Yang Fan.
"Huh? This tea? ”
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Qianqian suspiciously.
Chu Qianqian smiled.
"The concubine has long heard Yu Qian say that His Majesty will use his voice too much today, so she took out this Shenjing tea brought from her mother's house and told General Dian Wei to brew it for Your Majesty."
Chu Qianqian is from the Sedum Dynasty, a superpower, extremely powerful, and their family is also quite powerful in the Sedum Dynasty, although Chu Qianqian has a bad relationship with her mother's family, but it is not a big problem to bring some good tea.
"It turned out to be Concubine Ai, I still wonder today, why is General Dian Wei so knowledgeable? It's much better than Yu Qian's workaholic. ”
Chu Qianqian said with a smile.
"The concubine heard that the power of Your Majesty's tongue today is really like a fairy in the world!"
"Oh?"
Yang Fan pushed Chu Qianqian down, his mouth closer, and whispered in words that only the two of them could hear.
"The power of my tongue at night is also very strong."
"Ahh Your Majesty! ”
Soon, there were bursts of inappropriate voices from Yang Fan's dormitory.
……
"Marshal, in the past two days, there have often been cavalry of the Chu State, harassing our army's itinerary with the flanks, but they do not love to fight, and after each collision, they retreat rapidly and flee into the mountains and forests.
In the Rongguo army, Li Sidao was listening to the report of his subordinates.
A tall woman in armor snorted coldly.
"Why don't you let me take the Rongguo Iron Cavalry out to hunt down these Chu cavalry who are harassing us?"
Li Sidao glanced at the woman with an old but radiant gaze and shook his head.
"No need, this war is to play a clear card, the purpose of the Chu State is to delay time and make my army exhausted, and the purpose of our army is to go straight to the Chu capital regardless of everything, if you lead the army to the battle, it is the way of the Chu State."
The woman's name is Rong Huaiyu, although she is a woman, she has been in the army since she was a child, fought in the south and the north, and is very good at charging into battle, she is the leader of the Glory Iron Cavalry, and at the same time, she also has an identity, which is the sister of the current Emperor Rongguo, the eldest princess of Huaiyu.
Of course, although Rong Huaiyu has a noble status, he knows that he is inferior to Li Sidao in terms of military attainments and strategizing, so in this army, Li Sidao is still the same thing, and Rong Huaiyu is also willing to be a subordinate.
"There are also capable people on the side of the Chu State, and the order will go down, and the army will march at full speed, rest for a quarter of an hour every two hours of marching, day and night, as for the Chu State to attack and harass the troops, only need to send a small number of cavalry to take turns to defend."
Li Sidao said.
"Yes! Marshal! ”
Rong Huaiyu and the others replied together.
Li Sidao has been cultivating for many years, paying attention to health preservation, I don't know which morality to learn this multi-stage rest method, every two hours of rest for a quarter of an hour, a day and night spent on rest is not even an hour, but the physiological function and mental condition of the soldiers can not be affected, which is also one of the reasons why Li Sidao can be invincible.
"There is one more thing, marshal, the secret passage we entered and exited the hinterland of the Chu State, but for some reason it was discovered by the Chu State, after our army left, a cavalry team of more than 2,000 people attacked the White Lotus camp next to the secret road, Yuwen father and son fled, the secret passage was controlled by the Chu State, and our army may be attacked by the enemy!" Someone threw a bombshell again.
"What?"
Rong Huaiyu's face was angry.
"Didn't the marshal tell the White Lotus Holy Son to take care of the secret passage? Why is it so unhelpful? ”
"We have no way back, and we only have a few days of food and grass, and this time we were really pitted by the White Lotus Sect."
"Okay, let's listen to what the marshal has to say."
The soldiers quieted down and looked at Li Sidao.
From beginning to end, Li Sidao has always been unwavering, after all, at the age of ninety, Li Sidao has never had major emotional changes.
But this time, he suddenly smiled.
"It's a good break, originally Ben Shuai thought that there was only a sixty percent chance of winning this battle, but now, there are already eight percent."
Li Sidao said in a calm tone.
"When the order goes down, we must inform all the officers and soldiers that our army's rear road has been cut off, and if we can't capture Chudu, we will definitely die."
"Also, this matter, block the news, don't let the soldiers know."
Li Sidao picked up another piece of information from the table, this is Yang Fan's morale in Chudu, so that now Chudu is up and down, morale is high, and everyone is united.
"It is to make every soldier of our army firmly believe that if you do not win this battle, you will die, and the enemy army will be vulnerable and crushed at the first touch."
Rong Huaiyu looked puzzled.
"Marshal, is it really appropriate to deceive the soldiers like this?"
"Of course it is." Li Sidao was categorical.
"Huaiyu, you will only charge into battle, and the commander of the army is inexperienced, and war is not a game of trust!"
"As the saying goes, soldiers can be used, but they can't be known,"
"In fact, the essence of our war is nothing more than for the interests of a few people, and it is the people who are desperately suffering, defeated, the people suffer, and if they win, the people are also suffering, if the soldiers understand this truth, who else is willing to fight for my country? Who else is willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for the benefit of those in power! ”
Li Sidao's words made Rong Huaiyu suddenly shocked, her face kept changing, and finally she lowered her head and hugged her fists.
"Taught!"
"Let's go down and prepare."
"Yes! Marshal! ”
It's a life-and-death struggle!
If the state of Chu is defeated, the country will be ruined.
If the army of Rongguo is defeated, it will definitely die, and there is no way back.
As a result, the morale of both sides is extremely strong.
Without him, just to survive.
Yu Qian sent a cavalry team to constantly attack, but Li Sidao ignored it and only went to Chudu, but it was always affected and the speed slowed down, and then Yu Qian even attacked the Rongguo army at the moment when it rested, and the effect was even more remarkable.
However, even so, Li Sidao was still desperate, and in the early morning of three days later, he killed under the city of Chu.
At this time, the capital city of Chu, after being perfected and reinforced, has long been impregnable, and it is the capital of a country, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
There are 100,000 Chu troops in the city, including sharp soldiers who can be ten with one, as well as Xiliang iron cavalry, and the number of Rongguo's army is exactly one to three, which is evenly matched.
Li Sidao stood at the front of the Rongguo army and looked coldly at Yu Qian on the city tower.
"Broken Cauldron!"
He gave an order, and a team of soldiers destroyed all the cooking pots and utensils in the general, as well as all kinds of logistics, in front of all the Rongguo army.
"In this battle, our army only attacked once, and defeat is death!"
"The first battle is a decisive battle! The First World War is decided! ”
Li Sidao roared and waved the battle flag.
"The first battle is a decisive battle! The First World War is decided! ”
The 300,000 troops of Rongguo shouted at the same time, and their morale soared into the sky.
"Kill!"
