Chapter 53: The Polemic
Now that the enemy forces have begun to assemble, it is conservatively estimated that this war will inevitably break out in an all-round way within three days, and all the fronts, from the generals to the sergeants, are in a state of dejected tension.
In the face of Sean's arrival, it is even more recognized as the most mediocre decision of the emperor today.
"General Zheng, you said, now that the emperor has sent such a child here and given such great power, isn't this adding to the blockage, and now there is a lot of resentment in the barracks, how can this battle be fought?"
"Isn't it? We have long been ready to sacrifice our lives for the country, if they don't come, this battle will be fought to the death, but when they come, now the soldiers of the three armies feel that the emperor treats us as child's play. ”
"General Zheng, you know more about this way of leading troops than me, and as soon as the morale drops, the battle can't be fought."
Complaining!
"General He, General Huang, in fact, everyone understands that this war is not something that the emperor can send someone to reverse the defeat."
General Zheng Huaiguo also frowned, and only sighed when he heard the words, and said: "As a general, I should serve my life, so I can only fight with all my strength and do my best." ”
"Generals, didn't disturb your conversation, did you?" Outside the camp, Sean and Wei Shaoqing were slowly entering, smiling and shrugging their shoulders, and nodding lightly at everyone.
Looking at the disappointed crowd, Sean smiled and said, "What's the matter, everyone, is my image disappointing you, thinking that I'm a kid here to play, right?" ”
When Zheng Huaiguo and other generals heard this, they smiled a little embarrassedly, but the banter in their eyes was sincere......
You're such a little kid, you're not here to play, what else can you do?
Seeing their appearance, Sean shrugged his shoulders indifferently, but he admired General Zheng Huaiguo, did not flinch in the face of a strong enemy, and his military ability was even more beyond the reach of ordinary people.
So he asked, "General Zheng, if you are the commander of the enemy army, how should you fight this battle?" ”
"Bold, you are a little child, and you dare to talk about military aircraft affairs, there is no place for you to speak here."
As soon as Sean's words fell, a man with a fierce expression stood up at the table and shouted loudly.
"Hai'er, don't be rude, don't you see that the third prince is also here?" General Zheng Huaiguo shouted at the sturdy man, and the implication was that he was just selling the love of the three princes.
"And ask the old general to answer the boy." Sean asked, still respectful.
Due to Sean's special identity and the affection of the three princes, although General Zheng Huaiguo didn't want to pay attention to it, he still said unhappily: "Of course, it is to concentrate superior forces and launch a fierce attack on the three fortresses at the same time in three ways, so that each fortress is too busy to take care of itself. ”
"When the consumption is about the same, put the rebels' two million troops into the battlefield, choose a fortress with weak defense to attack, and then take it in one fell swoop, and the rest will naturally be self-defeating."
Correct, if Sean were to be the commander of the enemy army, this battle would also choose this style of play.
Victory is in sight, and the rebels will not be able to do even if they can't think of it.
Sean continued to ask: "I don't know if General Zheng's current combat deployment can hold the opponent's offensive, and if so, how many days can it be held?" ”
was questioned by a junior, General Zheng's old face seemed to be a little unbearable, but the third prince was by his side, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and said truthfully: "Three days, at most three days, there will be fortresses that will be captured, and within five days, the three fortresses will all fall into the hands of the enemy." ”
"Since you know that you can't hold it, why do you have to fight this battle like this?!" Sean ignored the changes in General Zheng's face and continued to ask questions.
At this moment, even the eyes of many generals at the conference table looking at Sean all appeared with anger.
When General Zheng Huaiguo heard this, his face was like frost, he stood up angrily, hugged his fists towards the void, and said loudly: "My generation kills the enemy to serve the country, and does not avoid life and death, how can there be a reason to retreat from the battle. ”
Sean said calmly: "I don't just have the way, I'm afraid General Zheng also has it, maybe my method is the way of General Zheng." ”
Sean's words directly hit the heart of General Zheng, and his heart was slightly shocked, and he didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him anymore, so he hurriedly withdrew all the people in the account, leaving only himself, Sean and Wei Shaoqing.
The current military deployment is the most conservative and the most prudent combat plan, and at least if it loses, it will not bear any responsibility, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, and the defeat is reasonable, and no one dares to surrender to the guilt.
If you succeed, you can save the defeat, but once you fail, it will not only accelerate the time of the rout of the whole line, but also have to bear the heavy responsibility of poor command, General Zheng is not unwilling, but does not dare.
Sean looked at Zheng Huaiguo and said with a smile: "I chose the fortress in the middle, I don't know how many troops will be needed for General Zheng to hold on to the other two fortresses for a day?" ”
"This ......"
General Zheng Huaiguo groaned slightly, despite his advanced age, he is still ambitious, and there are three princes, and he is not the only one who is responsible.
After a little hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Each fortress is filled with 200,000 and 100,000 soldiers are supplied, a total of 600,000, Lord Envoy, how about it?" ”
After all, the battle damage on the first day will not be too large, and the supply of 100,000 soldiers can barely support it.
"Okay, it's refreshing, it's 600,000, Old General Zheng rest assured, as long as the middle fortress is stable, I will immediately send troops to help the old general's two-way fortress."
After Shaun finished speaking, he settled the matter without any delay.
General Zheng Huaiguo was still worried: "But there are still two million rebels, how is the envoy going to deal with it?" ”
Sean squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Shaoqing, still calmly said, "Then I have to ask the third prince to go on a trip in person." ”
It is a matter of life and death for the dynasty, and Wei Shaoqing cannot be allowed to flinch a little, and said with a firm expression: "Little brother, please speak up, what to do, you just have to say it, I, Wei Shaoqing, will not even have the courage to fight." ”
Sean pointed to the map and said: "This is a cliff canyon, there are only two paths, the terrain is treacherous, one husband is the way, the three princes only need to put 50,000 garrisons each to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
"Tomorrow, as long as you go to provoke with tens of thousands of horses, the person that the king of Nanjun and the second prince want the most is you, and they will inevitably bring the rebels to pursue you with all their might, and along the way I will arrange three rolling stones to delay the pursuit of the rebels, you just need to lead the rebels here."
Sean then said: "All the rebels are only led by a group of generals such as the king of Nanjun and the second prince, and ordinary soldiers may not have the heart of rebellion, their relatives and friends are all in the dynasty and have a homesickness complex. ”
"At that time, you only need to bring a group of people who know something about the rebels to shout at them, and use family, friendship, and homeland to impress them, and the rebels will be disheartened, and maybe there will be other gains."
As soon as Sean's voice fell, the old general Zheng Huaiguo and Wei Shaoqing were in good spirits, as if they saw the hope of victory in this war.
I didn't expect that even he, an old general who had been in the barracks for many years and was accustomed to fighting, didn't see the problem, but now this sixteen-year-old boy who came to the barracks for the first time saw it so clearly.
Sean's plan is full of expectation and confidence.
"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, the officers and men of the three armies advocate force, if the power is not enough to convince the people, the military orders cannot be implemented in place, I am afraid that it will be ......"
There is an important problem in front of us, if it can't be solved, this plan is also impossible to implement, General Zheng Huaiguo said worriedly.
Sean smiled slightly, knowing what Old General Zheng was worried about, and said, "Old General Zheng doesn't need to worry, you just need to gather the whole army and directly announce the military order, and leave the rest to me." ”
"What the hell is going on! A little kid commanding us, did I hear me right? ”
"Damn, I would have known that I wouldn't have fought this battle, there was no hope in the first place, and then let a child who didn't know anything command us, isn't it fun?"
The officers and men of the three armies gathered together, and after hearing the military order read out by General Zheng, the already restless military heart suddenly began to be confused, and even wondered if they had heard it wrong.
A strong man with an iron beard stood up and said loudly: "Old General Zheng, this is a marching battle, fighting with real swords and real guns, not ordinary child's play, you let such a child lead us, although I, Xie Hu, am not afraid of death, but I don't want to die in vain." ”
"I, Wang Chun, too, when Lao Tzu was fighting and killing, you were still peeing your pants for such a kid, if he came to command, you would kill me in this battle, and I wouldn't fight again."
“……”
More than a dozen generals walked out one after another, all of them with opposing voices.
Many generals are all powerhouses between the fifth and sixth levels of the Refining Yuan Realm, and they are filled with the iron-blooded ferocity of a soldier, so they naturally will not be convinced by a young man who is only the sixth level of the Gathering Yuan Realm.
Even, unabashedly disdainful of oneself.
Old General Zheng had already expected this to be the case, so he had to look at Sean helplessly.
Sean smiled when he saw this, this reaction was normal, it was completely expected, and he didn't mind showing his hand to convince everyone, otherwise the military orders would not be uniformly implemented, and the consequences would be ten thousand times more powerful than the enemy.
Sean glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "I want to know who else is not convinced, stand up, the big war is about to start, I don't want to hear different voices in the future." ”
There are countless people who are not convinced, but it is these dozens of people who dare to challenge the military might.
The soldiers tied ten thick stakes together and buried them half deep into the ground, while a thick layer of armor was wrapped around the stakes.
This kind of stake is a wooden stake used by soldiers for training, which is as hard as iron, and even if ordinary soldiers bombard it with weapons, it may not damage much.
"If I say that I can kill you with one punch, maybe you won't believe it, but if I really kill you, it's better to leave you to go to the battlefield tomorrow to kill the enemy."
Sean pointed to the cluster of stakes and said to Xie Hu and the other thorny generals, "It's just that I believe that your body has not yet reached the point where it can be harder than the stakes in front of you, right?" ”
Xie Hu said loudly: "Okay, if you can break this bundle of stakes, I Xie Hu will be the first to obey you." ”
