Chapter 420: Night Attack
Su Qi'an's words made everyone silent, they knew very well that the situation was really according to what Su Qi'an said, the Dongzhou soldiers would definitely not send troops, and they would watch from the wall.
After the two pirates converged, mixed with more ferocious pirates, Yuezhou City may not be able to stop it.
At that time, at least half of the entire Yuezhou region will be destroyed, which is the last thing they want to encounter.
can really follow Su Qi'an's method, raid, while the pirate has not yet cultivated, and catch him off guard, it will definitely have an effect, but once the pirate reacts.
What are their odds of winning? Rather than being slowly pestered, they still have time to escape, it is better than being counterattacked and annihilated.
Of course, if it is such a demoralization blow, they will not say it, but put it in their hearts.
After a moment of silence, one of them looked up at Su Qi'an and asked, "Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, what are our chances of winning this time?"
"Five-five." Su Qi'an said.
Listening to the answer that was almost equal to not being said, the officials of the state of Vietnam were satisfied, but they did not have a seizure, with their worries.
"We know the commander-in-chief, and we want to fight quickly and catch the opponent off guard, but this kind of victory rate is only half, so I can't make up my mind."
"Once the pirates break through the division of troops and come back to counterattack, then we may not even have a chance to retreat, commander-in-chief of this risky tactic, please think twice."
Everyone's opposition, Su Qi'an didn't say anything, he was silent for a while, and said directly.
"If you want to quell the war in Yuezhou, this is the best way, your worries, Ben Hou is clear, here, Ben Hou promises you that if this tactic fails, or it fails, Ben Hou will not only resign as the commander-in-chief of the Yuezhou War, but also be willing to accept military law."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes flashed, with a slight shock, and as soon as Su Qi'an's words fell, Xiang Yan's voice sounded immediately.
"Oh, is that true?"
"Seriously!" Su Qi'an said seriously.
Xiang Yan nodded and said, "Since the commander-in-chief has said so, this official believes in the commander-in-chief once."
"I think that with such a righteous commander-in-chief, you should not back down."
"That's natural, the commander-in-chief has said this, how can we not follow it, everything is in accordance with the commander-in-chief's orders."
Some officials behind him hurriedly chimed in.
The rapidly changing attitude of everyone made Xie Cang on the side quite unhappy.
It can be said that everyone present can see that they just grabbed Su Qi'an's promise and climbed up the pole.
In their opinion, Su Qi'an's tactics this time are doomed to failure, and Su Qi'an can be dealt with openly and openly with military law.
Even in a way, they are just waiting for Su Qi'an's promise.
Looking at their attitude towards such a positive change, it is difficult to say that there is no collusion.
Xie Cang wanted to say a few words, but Su Qi'an preemptively said, "Okay, since you all have no opinions, then dismiss the meeting, return to the arrangement, and wait for Benhou's order."
"Wait for Su Hou first, this official still has something unclear, this time the tactical troops are divided into three routes, dare to ask Su Hou whether he plans to lead the army to the third way, or sit in the rear to command, so that we know in our hearts."
Before everyone dispersed, Xiang Yan seemed to think of something and asked.
"I'm sorry, this matter involves this tactical arrangement, it is a top secret, Lord Xiang, you have no right to know, I advise Lord Xiang to say a word, if you really care about Ben Hou's kung fu, it is better to rectify the army well, so as not to be attacked again when the time comes, then don't blame Ben Hou's military law."
Su Qi'an's saltiness was neither salty nor light, which made Xiang Yan's emotions that were still snickering in his heart just now disappear in an instant.
He clasped his hands, looked at Su Qi'an, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
With the departure of the Yuezhou officials, only Su Qi'an, Xie Cang, Su Kang and others remained in the county hall.
As soon as Xiang Yan left, Xie Cang couldn't help but say, "Brother Su, why did you stop me just now, look at them, they are obviously playing a trick on you."
"Now the goal has been accomplished
, maybe secretly thinking about how to stumble."
"Therefore, in order to prevent them from stumbling, the second and third ways of dividing the troops have to be handed over to Brother Xie and His Royal Highness King Yue."
Su Qi'an's words made Xie Cang stunned, but he quickly realized something, and said softly, "Brother Su, what do you mean..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Qi'an nodded, then took a few steps forward, and the three of them got together and whispered something.
Not long after talking in a low voice, the three of them separated, Xie Cang's expression was more excited, and he looked very excited.
On the contrary, Su Kang's face was a little worried, and he said softly, "Gather 10,000 veterans, there is nothing wrong with this, it's just that this king is more worried about you, you do this, it's really a bit risky, once you fail, your life may be put into it."
Xie Cang's excited expression came back to his senses, nodded again and again, and said softly, "If you don't transfer some of the Split Mountain Army, there are too few people on your side, and it is indeed not safe."
Xie Cang's kindness, Su Qi'an refused, he shook his head and said, "Two thousand people are enough, too many people will weaken the combat power of the Splitting Mountain Army."
"Don't worry, this matter has been carefully thought out by me, and if I want to defeat these pirates in one fell swoop and calm the war in Yuezhou, I can only make a surprise move."
"Compared to my side, your pressure is the greatest, only if you hold on, my side can play a miraculous effect, don't worry, how to say that I have also experienced the war and come from the battlefield."
"The person who wants to kill me hasn't been born yet, if the car overturns here, wouldn't it be too sorry for the name of Dongshan Hou."
"Okay, needless to say, just do everything according to my orders, the success or failure of the war in Yuezhou depends on you."
Xie Cang and Su Kang nodded, arched their hands at Su Qi'an, and then turned to leave.
This time, Xiang Yan and others were invited to Shuixiang City to discuss the war, and from the current point of view, it is still very smooth.
After leaving the county hall, the Yuezhou officials did not leave, but were settled in an inn.
It's not that they don't want to leave, it's that there are things that they need to sit down with and discuss.
After all, it is to mobilize the entire Yuezhou army, and in some details, they have to discuss with Su Qi'an and them.
Therefore, in the county seat of Shuixiang, you have to stay for a few days.
Anyway, the current fighting in Yuezhou is quite stable, and there is no sign of a large-scale counterattack.
If there is a war and the war starts again, they can directly transfer troops and set off from the water town.
Now, in the city of Water Town, with the 10,000 troops they brought, there are a total of 20,000 horses.
With such a strong army, the pirates wanted to sneak attack, but they couldn't do anything.
On the contrary, in a way, staying in the water town is the safest place now.
Time passed quickly, and when the news was passed out from the county seat, it was already dark after a few back and forth.
In the entire water town, except for the soldiers patrolling back and forth, the local people basically fell asleep.
At this time, the county seat, except for a few mansions, was brightly lit, and the rest of the place was dark.
The mansion lit by candlelight was not somewhere else, it was the county office where Su Qi'an was located.
The war in Yuezhou is imminent, and Su Qi'an, as the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, has no time to rest.
His nerves were tense, and his eyes kept looking at the sand table in front of him, and beside him was the latest military report on the battle situation, as well as the grain, grass, and people needed for Yuezhou's logistics.
The front line deployed troops to fight, and the grain and grass and people in the rear can be said to be non-stop all night. ap.
In order to support the war in Yuezhou, 50,000 people were mobilized throughout Yuezhou, and more than 50,000 stone of grain and grass were collected.
Don't look at 100,000 stones, but in the face of 50,000 troops and 50,000 people, 100,000 people can consume 70,000 or 80,000 catties of grain in a day, which is almost 7800 stones.
After a month, it was 20,000 or 30,000 stones, and now the war has lasted for more than a month, and the remaining grain can last less than 20 days at most.
Twenty days, if you can't fight a turnaround battle to turn the tide.
When the grain and grass are exhausted, then I want to gather tens of thousands of troops
The team will have to wait at least a month for the team to fight back.
At that time, the daylilies were cold, so this was why Su Qi'an was in such a hurry and did such a risky tactic.
They can't afford to wait, the food and grass are already running out, and they don't have time to drag it out.
Only at this kind of high-level, as the commander-in-chief of the entire state, Su Qi'an can more and more know how much grain and grass will be consumed for the transfer of more than 10,000 troops.
An army without grain and grass can be said to be difficult to move an inch, so as early as after taking Qingcheng County in Jiaozhou and expanding the army, Su Qi'an realized this problem.
Large-scale planting and reclamation of wasteland in Qingcheng County and self-reliance provided a solid guarantee for him to win Jiaozhou and defeat Li Kang in the future.
It's a pity that the war in Yuezhou can't give him so much time to slowly cultivate the land.
Therefore, while the existing grain and grass are not yet in deficit, we must take a risk and fight a counterattack.
Su Qi'an's eyes swept back and forth on the sand table and the military newspaper, and his mind spun rapidly, thinking about the details of the follow-up arrangements.
Just as Su Qi was safely immersed in his body and mind, suddenly, in the air outside the lobby, a low and cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Who!"
Then, in the darkness, there were obviously two figures, one in front of the other and one behind, quickly disappearing from the courtyard wall of the mansion.
The voice that reminded him just now was none other than Wang Yan, who was secretly protecting Su Qi'an's safety.
To be able to escape from Wang Yan's hands, this person must be a master.
There is no need for Su Qi'an to order, and he is responsible for Su Qi'an's internal security.
With a part of the special combat team, they quickly chased after it.
At this time, the atmosphere in the entire county hall was tense instantly, and a large number of guard troops quickly surrounded the mansion and intensified their efforts to patrol back and forth around the mansion.
The special combat team that was in charge of internal vigilance went up to the courtyard wall of the mansion one after another, scanned their eyes, and once they found anything wrong, they immediately shot them with arrows.
As for the communication company that was secretly protected, they never showed up, but they were the closest to Su Qi'an, and everyone's eyes converged around Su Qi'an.
In the event of any unfavorable sneak attack, they will suppress it with thunderous means.
This division of labor is clear, and it has been arranged by Su Qi'an a long time ago, and in the event of an emergency, the guard troops will quickly act according to the plan.
