"It seems that the stone cannon is useless, let's shoot arrows today. ”

Zishou looked at the soldiers with low morale and rejoiced in his heart.

Nothing is more disappointing than giving hope and then shattering it.

Morale is low, and the three armies are available!

Zhang Youren, who has a bit of education, has already been sent to meet the follow-up reinforcements, and only the three senior generals in the army are left: Chao Lei, Fang Xiang, and Fang Bi.

The three of them tried their best to appease the soldiers, but their mouths were not sharp enough, and they still couldn't mobilize their morale, so they could only shoot a few rounds of arrows according to the order.

"Spread my military order, from today onwards, dig tunnels here, cross the walls of Echeng, and hit the inner city!"

Zishou came up with another plan to dig tunnels openly.

Chao Lei followed Fang Xiang and Fang Bi to advise him, digging tunnels to bypass the city walls is a good plan, but how can there be any reason to dig tunnels under the noses of the enemy?

And if you want to avoid the rain of enemy arrows, you have to dig outside the range of the bow and arrow, and when will you dig into the inner city?

It is only right to attract attention with a large army in front and then make a small number of soldiers go around to the rear to dig tunnels.

Even so, in fact, the three of them are just going through a formality, and the king is stubborn and won't listen.

But Chao Lei happened to see the Hu army on the city wall, and suddenly woke up like a dream, and hurriedly interrupted Fang Xiang and Fang Bi's advice.

"Your Majesty, this is a strategy to lure the enemy!"

Lure.. Lure the enemy?

Fang Xiang and Fang Bi suddenly penetrated, isn't this a strategy to lure the enemy?!

Even a general who has never fought a war will not shoot arrows to send arrows to the enemy outside the firing range, nor will he pin his siege hopes on unreliable stone cannons, let alone dig tunnels under the noses of the enemy.

But if the King of the Han Dynasty did this, with the strategic vision of the King of the Xuan Dynasty and the leading ability shown in the Battle of Hanshui, he would never be so unwise.

Tempting the enemy is the best explanation.

Look at the provocation from archery to stone throwing to digging tunnels, it is clearly Chiguoguo's provocation!

What general can stand such a mockery? And even if he can endure it, what thoughts do the officers and men of the army have? Can they also tolerate the enemy treating them like monkeys?

The reason why the siege is difficult is because the defenders will defend the city, and the easiest way to quickly break through the city is to lure the enemy out of the city.

Zi was pondered for a while, and it was not impossible to lower morale and become a lure to the enemy.

His purpose is to defeat the battle, and naturally he has to fight before he loses.

Eshun did not have the slightest intention of going out of the city to attack, and there was a risk of success in seizing the city by attacking on his side, so that there was no flaw in camping with his backwater, but it was convenient to drink water, and it was not important that morale was low, after all, people did not come to fight at all.

Wait until the follow-up reinforcements arrive, and Uncle Wen comes to take over the army, everything will not be a problem.

We are ready to defeat the battle, but the enemy will not cooperate!

It is feasible to lure the enemy, and it is precisely because of low morale that the enemy army will take advantage of the weakness to attack, which is a cause and effect.

If you can defeat the enemy you lure out, you can call it luring the enemy, and if you are defeated by the enemy you lure out, it is called a hammer to lure the enemy.

Fang Xiang and Fang Bi also raised this question: "But even if the lure of the enemy is successful, the morale of the generals is not high, and they cannot fight the enemy, so they are afraid of failure..."

See, it's an unsolvable problem.

Isn't Zhao Guangyi also attacking the city and demoralizing is low, so the Liao army went out of the city to fight?

As a result, the sorghum river car god was born, which is called which door lures the enemy, this is to give people heads!

I thought that Chao Lei's brain couldn't make up for it, but I didn't expect him to pretend to smile deeply, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is clever and has already arranged it." ”

"Your Majesty deliberately led the army to attack the city continuously, not only to lure the enemy, but also to fatigue the enemy, whether it is a feint attack or a rest, all in the mind of our army, but Eshun needs to be prepared for our army to attack the city at all times, over time, although we are not good to attack the city, but the Ejun army is also physically and mentally exhausted. ”

In this way, the two armies will fight head-on, and the victory or defeat will only be between the two sides, and even if Eshun is lured out, he will only choose to surprise the camp. ”

"Odd. Surprise attack?"

"Every time our army blows in the wind and rain, it will rest in the camp and relax its vigilance, and Eshun will inevitably take the opportunity to attack the camp, and the two generals must not forget where the camp is. ”

"High... Sorghum River?"

"Exactly, camping on the back of the water. Chao Lei nodded and continued: "The soldiers of the Eshun and the Eshun army have been annoyed and angry under the ridicule of the enemy, and they must choose to attack the camp, only need to send two or three people to guard the riverside, and there will be no danger of attacking by water, and although there are risks in camping against the water, there are also benefits. ”

"The benefits?"

"Morale, the biggest reason for the low combat strength of our army is because the siege of the city is unfavorable and the morale is low, but with the back of the Gaoliang River, there are no ships, and there is no way to retreat, a battle against the water will inevitably arouse the morale of the generals, and our army can win a big victory!"

Fang Xiang and Fang Bi's eyes lit up: "Fight against the water, put the dead and come back to life, Your Majesty is really a clever plan!"

Zishou was stunned, just thinking about the defeat of Zhao Guangyi and Xu Huang's camp, he almost forgot Han Xin's backwater battle.

It is a taboo for soldiers to stand behind the water, and it is also a record of the war book, and the battle against the water can indeed improve morale.

Thinking that Zhao Guangyi was not good for attacking the city, when the Liao army came to attack, it was based on the Gaoliang River to resist, and most of them were also thinking of fighting against the water to boost morale.

In this way, there is nothing wrong with the idea, but Zhao Guangyi failed.

Zishou's expression became weird, and if he put it on Zhao Guangyi, it would fail, and if he put it on himself, it would be a little subtle.

In case of.... Did he really succeed in the battle?

No, you have to take precautions.

Zishou pretended to be guessed and said with a smile: "General Chao has won my heart, but I didn't expect my plan to be seen through, since this is the case, I also ask the general to order the cutting of wood to make barrels, so that the soldiers can carry a bucket of water on their backs, day and night." ”

Logging to make barrels, carrying water ....

What is this operation?

Chao Lei was stunned, it seemed to be different from what he thought?

Zishou immediately said solemnly: "If you fight against the water, you naturally have to carry the water on your back, and the general will also ask for a quick order." ”

There is no way back around, and when people die, they will burst out with an incomparably powerful survival force, but the intensity of the struggle can be controlled.

No matter how high the morale is, what is the matter of carrying a bucket of water in a war?

What else can you do but get in the way of fighting?

Fight a protracted war with the enemy, so that the enemy will die of blood and water?

Chao Lei couldn't guess it, but he knew that his tactical level was not good, and if he could see through the strategy of the king of Su at his level, then E Shun would definitely be able to see through it, what kind of strategy did he play?

Soon the order was given to the whole army.

The soldiers were in a fog, but this was a military order and could not be disobeyed.

In the past few days, Zishou has been constantly training the ability of the merchant army to obey orders, and he has to obey orders without asking for orders and prohibitions, but at least he must obey orders, just like the battle on the Han River, if the soldiers all obeyed their orders and ran away, how could there be a later seizure of ships?

............

Eshun in the city of Echeng was restless, he had already received the news that the merchant army reinforcements had arrived.

He was able to quickly control the army by virtue of his personal bravery, but now the morale of the merchant army is low, and if he does not fight, he is afraid that the soldiers who have endured it again and again will be dissatisfied.

Ordinary soldiers don't think much about it, obviously the merchant army is so easy to fight, you are not brave in Eshun Wanfu, what are you afraid of?

Eshun didn't have time to hesitate, and when the follow-up reinforcements of the merchant army arrived, what awaited him was the siege.

Helplessly, he was jealous, fighting head-on with the Shang army, there was no guarantee that it would be foolproof, the Shang army camped on its back, and the best way was to besiege it on both sides and force it into the river, but the army he controlled was limited, and there was no way to divide the troops.

What's more, there are not many trustworthy and capable generals, and it is difficult to fight a battle without a general.

While he was distressed, a herald came to report it, and someone asked to see him.

......

If you don't volunteer, you won't have any money.

The key comes, the code -
