Chapter 358: All or Nothing, Defend with All Your Might
Seeing the envoy of the Liang State out of the tent, Su Chen turned around and came back, stepping on the unburned national book on the ground on the sole of his shoe.
Walking to the side of the long case, Wu Zixun re-uncovered the cloth that blocked the map, Su Chen looked at the lines of attack drawn on it, and smiled with his hands.
"It's all hit to this point, thinking that if you say a few soft words, you can go over with the minister. He thinks he is Sun Quan and I am Cao Pi? ”
Su Chen said with a smile, took a few small flags from the tray and inserted them on the three words marked 'Zun Wang Zhou', "Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan's Western Route Army descended from the north, echoing An Lushan's army from left to right, and I believe that it will soon arrive in the north of the western capital of Liang State." It's time for us to work harder. ”
As he spoke, Su Chen turned around and swept his gaze over the generals present.
"The surrender of the troops and generals of the Qi State is too slow, the 210,000 troops are grinding here, and the daily consumption of grain is incalculable, send orders to Xu Mao and other generals, step up the attack, take the Zunwang Prefecture, continue to go north, don't delay here!"
The reason why the Qi State is allowed to surrender troops to fight the vanguard is to ensure that their descendant army will die fewer people, and once they encounter hard stubble and stick to the city wall, the loss of soldiers is great.
The few armies in Su Chen's hands, but the elite brought out by one hand, every soldier is very important, even if he folds one, it can make his heart ache for a long time.
This can be understood why many ancient generals would drive prisoners or enemy civilians to stand in front of the battle, and everyone on the besieging side wanted their soldiers to live longer.
After his words fell, the herald's fast horse had already left. The generals in the tent also left in twos and threes and returned to their respective armies, while Su Chen took Dian Wei and Xu Chu back to the ancestral chariot of the rear camp, don't look at the fact that there are only two guards in the army, in fact, dozens of steps away, there are Pei Min and the masters of the embroidery division as secret sentinels.
Before they arrived at the ancestral locomotive, Li Shimin, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Cao Pi, and Zhao Kuangyi gathered around and muttered and didn't know what to say, while Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty had no interest in them at all, and only talked to Huo Quai, who came over.
Zhu Di was in the car, continuing to read the classics of this world for Zhu Yuanzhang, and other emperors who did not come out were also listening.
Li Longji and Liu Xie squatted beside the wheel, boiling a pot of herbs, the former gestured, with a smile on his face, when Su Chen walked up to the chariot, he vaguely heard him as if he asked Liu Xie to help him boil a pot of witch Gu decoction that could make Yang Yuhuan fall in love with him again.
In exchange, Liu Xie rolled his eyes.
After greeting several emperors outside, Su Chen got into the car, took the long incense handed by Li Tiangang, saluted, and then inserted it into the incense burner.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu walked to Cao Cao, a monarch and a minister, and the friendship will not be reduced by the separation of heaven and man.
"If Lone didn't make a mistake back then, General Dian didn't die, and Lone had Xu Chu again, I really had peace of mind."
Cao Cao looked at the two almost perfect generals of the Middle Protector Army in front of him, and sighed enviously: "All of them are cheap and immortal." ”
This remark attracted Li Shimin's approval.
"I only later understood the wonderful use of Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde, put them at the door, and slept sweetly!"
Liu Bei nodded silently, but he couldn't help but echo: "It's better to sleep on your feet and sleep more sweetly." ”
Li Shimin and Cao Cao all turned their heads to look at him.
On the side of the ancestral locomotive, Su Chen said some words to the spiritual position of a group of emperors, and promised that after defeating the Liang Kingdom, he began to roll the dice, which calmed down Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the most ferocious.
"Don't use us on civil and military affairs, on our old ancestors! By the way, Changsheng, how long has it been since you went to war? ”
"It's been a long time, and I haven't been on the battlefield since I used the Xirong Gang to fight." Su Chen turned the tiger skin chair in one direction and sat down facing the emperor's spiritual seat, "In terms of using soldiers, I am not as good as the generals in the army, so don't personally command the soldiers and horses, and cause chaos for them, after all, the master of micro-manipulation was a lesson from the past, so I won't do the overthrow of the rear car, so I don't have to laugh and be generous." ”
"You were brought out by our emperors, it's a pity not to go to the battlefield." Zhao Kuangyin's spiritual position sounded.
Wu Zetian's spiritual position also expressed his thoughts: "I think it's good for Changsheng to sit in the rear, and the dignified emperor ran to the front line, isn't it the same as the general of Wei who ran to repair the antlers?" ”
"A woman's opinion!" Liu Bang snorted coldly, and his words were majestic: "I think back then, I commanded thousands of troops and horses......"
Yang Guang interjected and came in and picked up Han Gaozu's words: "Repeated defeats!" It was also surrounded by the Huns in Baishan Mountain! ”
"It's rude, call the adults of the family to talk!"
Yang Guang turned around and shouted: "Father, someone is looking for you!" ”
Yang Jian's spirit position jumped out and jumped in front of Liu Bang's spirit card, and the two looked at each other.
On the other side, Su Chen watched them frolicking and talking, but he didn't mean to stop them, looking at these old ancestors so vividly, quite like the fireworks in the world.
"Changsheng, sitting in the rear, or commanding the war, it is actually okay, as an emperor, it is also necessary to show his face in front of the soldiers sometimes."
Hearing Liu Yu say this, Su Chen nodded: "That's true, let's wait for the opportunity, as for the risk of Yashi, there is no need." ”
"Haha." Liu Yu's spirit card leaned back with a smile, "You, you have to practice more martial arts." ”
"My martial arts are already very high, as high as a few floors!"
Su Chen laughed along, he really didn't lie, "Martial God Gangqi" has been practiced to the fourth level, and it is difficult for ordinary masters of the second and third grade realms to compete with him, unless there is a special secret technique.
Soon after, his messenger left the military camp and arrived at the Qi army camp more than fifty miles away, and Xu Mao and other generals immediately gathered the scattered army and began to go north with all their strength to open the road to the western capital of Liang.
The two armies of Xiliang and Youyan are also preparing all kinds of ordnance, gunpowder, grain and grass, etc., to prepare for the attack on the western capital of Liang State.
Five days later, the envoy of the Liang State quickly returned to the Western Capital, burned Su Chen's national letter, and told the words of attacking the Liang State with all his might.
The civil and military personnel of the entire court were boiling.
The people in the northwest, there is also no shortage of bloody and brave people, and they have asked for their lives to fight to the death with the Xia army!
Tuoba Kui sat on the dragon chair and clenched his fists, he surrendered his identity, Xiu Guoshu was willing to bow his head to Su Chen, but he got such humiliation, at this moment, the enthusiasm of the martial arts in the court made his eyes fluctuate slightly, from the indignation just now, gradually calmed down.
The army of the Xia Kingdom is indeed too strong.
He thought for a moment in this calm, and his face gradually showed a resolute look.
"But that's fine, the stronger the enemy, the better the elite army."
After a while, there were eunuchs outside who hurriedly went up the stone steps with military intelligence, presented the information to the eunuchs inside, and then handed it over to the dragon case.
Zunwang Prefecture is still separated from the Western Capital by a Shazhou, and there is still enough time for him to prepare.
"I have been established for two hundred and seventy-five years, and if I want to destroy the Liang country, I will die with you!"
Tuoba Kui slapped the dragon case and stood up, and the generals of the clan and the rest of the civil and military forces also stopped their voices and looked at the Son of Heaven above.
"I'm going to deploy heavy troops on the sandbank, Zongju!"
He loudly called out that the other party of Tuoba Zongji was the imperial prince and his uncle, who had fought with Xirong and Qi State, and had rich experience in leading the army.
Tuoba Zongju, dressed in a white military suit and wearing iron armor, strode out, "The minister is here!" ”
"You take 10,000 soldiers of your clan and go to Taikang City in Shacheng to station, and the soldiers and horses of the surrounding counties are all deployed by you, in addition, I will give you 10,000 Fushan troops and 10,000 trek troops, and tell the Emperor of Xia how hard the bones of the Northwest Daliang people are!"
"Yes!" Tuoba Zongju clenched his fists and pressed his chest, shouted, and then turned around and strode out of the temple gate with his cloak in tow.
The first emperor did not end the order, but turned his head to summon Tuoba Zhaori.
"You are the commander-in-chief, lead the soldiers and horses of your own clan, and transfer them to Lichui Mountain to you to block the Xia Kingdom West Route Army in the north!"
"Yes!"
Tuoba Zhaori confidently clenched his fists and beat his chest, bowing down and shouting.
This time, Tuoba Kui went all out, he wanted to overwhelm the Xia army that had been killed!
Soon after, the ordered Zongju, Zhaori, and Xianglichui Mountain gathered troops, grain and grass in the western capital, and Tuoba Zongju led 10,000 soldiers of the Tuoba tribe, plus 10,000 each of Fushan and Trek, and went south to Taikang City on Shazhou.
His first order was to clear the wilderness, collect all the cattle, sheep, and wheat fields into the city, or slaughter and burn them on the spot, and whoever dared to stop them would directly let the soldiers cut them down.
Under a series of vigorous and resolute actions, the effect was not insignificant, and the 210,000 troops of the Xia Kingdom in the south had no source of looting food, and the advance became slow by ordinary supplies alone.
But the army is still huge, and even if it delays, it still crushes all the way with unstoppable might.
In the middle of May, when Tuoba Zongju cleared the walls and strong fields, consolidated the city, and trained the soldiers of the counties, 210,000 troops of the Qi State entered the sandbar with a devastating momentum, broke several cities in a row, successively defeated tens of thousands of Liang soldiers and horses, and re-broke 30,000 heavy soldiers at Hulukou.
In late May, several cities centered on Taikang formed a defensive line to block the Xia army, and were actively preparing for war. Tuoba Zongju even killed the persuasion envoys sent by Xu Mao and other generals, although he had a grudge against Zhaori, but as a member of the Liang clan, it was impossible for him to choose to surrender to the Xia State.
However, with 210,000 troops approaching, time was running out for him.
More and more reports of the battle are flying like snowflakes.
Seeing the battle reports piled up on the desk, Tuoba Zongju felt a sense of suffocation, all of them were calls for help from the southern counties of Shazhou, with tens of thousands of troops at most and seven or eight thousand troops at least being defeated one after another in front of 210,000 soldiers and horses.
"A bunch of waste ......"
Tuoba Zongju overthrew the long case and burned all the battle reports.
At this time, Taikang City was mobilized by him from top to bottom, mining rocks and cutting down trees, which was being carried out in an orderly manner.
At the end of May, the main force of the southern Xia State advanced into Shazhou, and the 210,000 Qi State as the vanguard surrendered to the 20 li of Taikang.
The tragic siege battle is coming in a flash!
