"Their style of play is simple, but deadly......"

In Zhejiang, on the bank of the Danshui River, in the camp of the Zhou army, the generals sat on both sides, and Wei Xuan sat behind the slippery handsome case, his face was obscure.

Wei Xuan continued to conclude: "Fighting in the plains and snow, our foot soldiers are already at a disadvantage, and we also have grain and grass to transport, and if we stop and do not move, we will starve, and if we don't stop, we can only be beaten passively.

"And the Qi army is not only familiar with the terrain, but also their horse teams roaming on the hills and plains, coming and going like the wind, constantly carrying out fatigue tactics on our grain transport team, and when the time is ripe, they will quickly gather a large number of troops.

"Their build-up was very fast, and in the harassment and attack, they not only exhausted our troops, but also tested the reality of our army, and they were always able to maintain superior forces and strike a fatal blow when they assembled, so it was almost impossible to fight at all, and one blow was sure to be accomplished. We don't have a good way to deal with this kind of tactic......

"Yang Shi, gave birth to an amazing son......"

Wei Xuan frowned, slapped the table heavily, and said unhappily: "If you talk about bravery, he is still worse, the old man has never even been afraid of Gao Aocao, how can he be afraid of his milky child?" The old man was just angry, knowing where their plan was, and he couldn't solve it! ”

He took a deep breath and said, "...... The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side and fighting the people are not suitable for all situations. On the battlefield, all kinds of tricks emerge one after another, and they are indeed the magic weapons for defeating the enemy. However, sometimes even if you know exactly what the opponent is doing, you may not be able to break his attack, especially if you ...... The current situation. ”

The generals looked at each other and said with difficulty: "General, we have never had the experience of raiding in winter, and many difficulties and problems are underestimated.

"That's not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is ...... We've got a lot of food and grass that we're going to get to the point where it's unsustainable......"

"Today, a few more soldiers died of cold and starvation, and the general ......"

Everyone looked at the main general, waiting for his decision, Wei Xuan looked outside the tent, the white snow fell down, covering his vision, he was stunned, and he didn't know what he was looking at, for a long time, he stood up and said:

"If we can capture Nanxiang a few days in advance, even if it is two days, with Nanxiang as the fundamental location, waiting for the opportunity to advance eastward, the Qi army will inevitably retreat in a panic, then we urgently pursue, before it stabilizes its position, the troops are trapped in Nanyang, and Deng County is isolated, which can completely cut off the grain and grass of the Qi army, and the peripheral rebels are leaderless, and it is impossible to organize an effective counterattack, let alone let them attack our grain and grass in a purposeful manner like now.

"As long as we are safe, we can keep trapping Nanyang and fight a few tough battles with Gao Changgong. With the territory, the strategic space that can be used for movement has been greatly increased, and it can be attacked and defended, even if it cannot be conquered this winter, it can always be held in Nanxiang, with the strong strength of our Zhou State on the western front of Yizhou, the Qi army will be dragged down by our army sooner or later, and the collapse of the whole line is a matter of ......!

"But now, although the old man is very reluctant to accept this fact, it is the truth, we are trapped here.

"And...... We won't survive this winter. ”

He looked at the silent generals and said, "Our biggest enemy is not Yang Su, but Tianwei and grain. There is no sign that the weather is getting warmer, there is not enough baggage and food to be sent, and more and more soldiers will freeze to death and starve to death. Not to mention fighting, even if you just stay in this barracks, you will never last three days! ”

Wei Xuan's gaze swept over the faces of the generals one by one, and said in a deep voice: "We have no other way, if we want to reverse the decline, we can only retreat!" The generals were shocked, and Wei Xuan said in an irrefutable tone: "I will write a note and submit it to Your Majesty and Otsuka Zai to explain the situation, and all the blame will be borne by me alone, and it has nothing to do with you!" Right now...... Execute the order. ”

After the generals dispersed, the tent became deserted again, and the sky grew dark, so he ordered someone to light the lamp and candle, and began to write the note:

“…… Chen Xuanbai, our army was ambushed by the enemy on the bank of Danshui, suffered heavy casualties, the minister was incompetent, Nanxiang was not kept, and the grain and grass were also cut off by the Qi army......

This paragraph of Wei Xuan wrote very difficult, he fought on the battlefield all his life, there are very few such defeats, the army that was eliminated by him, and the famous generals who were defeated by him are more than five fingers, although this life is not vigorous, but it is not in vain.

Although he was defeated, this is not a crime of war, the current situation is irreparable, and he is still thinking hard about how to break the situation:

“…… Although the Qi people are brave and good at fighting, they are not invincible, and the attack on Jingxiang is to take advantage of the confrontation between the Southern Dynasty and our dynasty...... It is a shame that a big country has done such a despicable and shameless thing. However, the situation is irreparable, and so is the sins of the ministers......

"This place is vast and densely populated, you can tackle key problems in the north, and you can take Bashu in the west, it is really a soldier who must fight, and I will defend its place to the death! Qi people are good at horse fighting, our army should not divide troops to go deeper, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of food and grass, and if you advance, the thief will avoid its front, and if you retreat, the enemy will follow behind, and it will be difficult to win in the end...... Wang Lin is in the south, Gao Changgong is in the north, and our army is in the west, the only way to do this is to gather troops, open up the road to Xiangyang as soon as possible, rely on the Xiangyang Prefectures, fight fiercely with the Qi army, and then divide the troops to the south, you can solve the siege of Jiangling......" Wei Xuan thought about it, and wrote on the top of the song: "If the long drive goes straight in, cut off its back road, and attack the rear of Gao Changgong, the risk is extremely great, the enemy relies on the Xiongcheng, the strong wall is clear, and the enemy can go down in the sun, and the enemy uses tricks to cut off my grain road, tired my soldiers, and there is no way to resist. ”

Therefore, in this battle, the minister thinks that it is better to delay than to hurry. The only way to do this is to repair the book in Xiangyang, strengthen the heart of defending the country and defending the city, and wait for reinforcements. Our army is assembled in the west of Yizhou, according to the danger of repairing the village, as appropriate to increase or decrease the garrison, step by step, in addition, call the states to assassinate the history, send troops to the east, each other's support, the court sent a good general, unified scheduling, select elite soldiers, set elite to attack the army, so, Jingxiang can be guaranteed! ”

He let out a long sigh and threw down the brush. The snow outside the tent has stopped......

………………

Under the city of Suizhou, the blood is fertile and dusty, and the land is desolate, revealing the breath of death.

This day was the fifth day of Wang Lin's siege, the Qi army had not yet taken the city, and the Zhou army had also not received reinforcements, and the fierce battle continued.

"Then He Ruobi is afraid that he is cowardly, and he has been advancing the front, but he has not moved, I really don't know what he is doing."

"I guess there are other preparations, right?"

"What can you prepare? He's from Zhou Guo, and he's different from us......"

"Silence, the first rule of the Dadu Governor's Army is that it is not allowed to speak falsely, but after a few days under the account of Lu Tingshi, can't you remember? Yesterday he said that he was going to finish his work today, so let's just watch and see him...... What kind of method do you want to take to capture Suizhou? ”

"I don't know if I have the ability, but I heard that he is quite a thorn in the eye, but he came with a letter from the right minister......"

At this time, Wang Lin was standing on the watchtower, quietly watching the movement in front of him.

Under the guidance of the two wings, the black-pressed Qi army continued to advance, with catapults and fire oil readily available, as well as a lot of ugly jars and jars, I don't know what they contained.

Above the city tower, Tian Hong also noticed the unusualness of He Ruobi's side, this Qi army was advancing forward in the near future, there were no siege vehicles, but they had been filling things under the city gate, what was Wang Lin doing?

Tian Hong pointed over there and said, "-Shoot them!" ”

With a bang, the catapult slammed into the rope, the barrel smashed on the city wall, the pungent smell of fire oil spread, and the black liquid flowed down the city wall, and the Qi army piled up a lot of these things under the city gate...... Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows fell towards the city pass, rockets, which grazed the oil and burned violently, spreading from the city tower all the way to the base of the city wall......

There were soldiers screaming from the fire everywhere, and a chill spread upward from Tian Hong's tail vertebrae, "Those things under the city are also burning!" A frightened sound came, Tian Hong left his eyes behind and looked down at the city. The flames were scorching, and the explosion tore through the sky, countless flames rose up, and the earth shook! Tian Hong's shadow was drowned in the firelight...... The walls are falling!

"After this thing was born, I don't know how many people will die, no wonder Hu Luxian strictly guards against letting people touch it...... Sins and sins...... "Wang Lin has truly seen the power of this gunpowder today, his eyes are bright, and he talks about sins, but there is no compassion on his face. He Ruobi only studied for a few days and roughly understood how to use it, and today he just tested the results. As a commander-in-chief, he was also very interested in this powerful weapon, but he didn't understand the use of this gunpowder, so he asked directly, so he smiled and said: "After this battle is over, call General He Ruo to come to the old man's tent, and say that there is something to discuss with him, hehehehe...... Young people have a great future, no worse than I did. ”
