Chapter 543: Xiangyang Crisis
Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After the army stopped, the soldiers began to set up tents and repair, and at this time, in the marshal's golden tent, there were three figures sitting opposite each other......
The silence in the Golden Tent has lasted for a long time, and the three of them have no good countermeasures, if it was before, they were not afraid of the Jin army besieging the city, but after the battle of the rebels, the original army of 200,000 is now less than 100,000, among which there are more than ordinary wounded soldiers, with such a team of soldiers and horses, Zhao Zhen can't think of any way to break through the current siege of the enemy army to relieve the danger of Xiangyang City......
In the end, Zhao Ming finally took the lead and said: " Now we sit here and useless, the alliance of Dajin and Daliao has more than 300,000 people, not to mention that now our army is less than 100,000, and the available troops are less than 50,000, even if the previous strength is useless for the current Xiangyang crisis, looking at the formation of Dajin besieging but not attacking, it is obvious that Xiangyang is being used as bait to have reinforcements to support, if we go rashly like this, we may fall into the trap of the other party, so the two highnesses do not need to be anxious, with the strength of the other party, it can be said that it is a snap of a finger to take Xiangyang City, since they want to use Xiangyang as bait now, we should go forward, then it is impossible to really capture Xiangyang CityAt least judging from the current situation, Xiangyang is safe, and as for how to rescue it, we still need to think about it in the long run......"
As soon as Zhao Ming's words fell, the expressions of the two people on the opposite side were also slightly relaxed, they thought about Zhao Ming's words, and it was true, not to mention that the defenders of Xiangyang were far inferior to the other party in terms of strength, in terms of innate combat power, Xiangyang now only has one Nangong Sheng to support, and the other party has five congenital powerhouses this time, no, plus a renegade Shi Qianzi Now the other party has six congenital powerhouses, and the strength is not bad, they are not the kind of defective products that have just broken through the congenital, such a lineup really wants to take Xiangyang City is just a matter of a moment, how can it be possible to wait until they comeMoreover, according to the news sent back by the scouts, the other party was only stationed ten miles outside the city, but did not send troops, and it is obvious that the fundamental goal of this pattern of siege but not attack is not in Xiangyang, but to use Xiangyang as a bait to open their pockets and have reinforcements, and finally wipe them out........
This kind of method is easy for people to see, not to mention that the other party has no hidden traces at all, it is obvious that the other party is a yang scheme, they will see if the reinforcements who come to them can ruthlessly abandon this northern checkpoint and abandon those Xiangyang defenders......
Zhao Ming saw the enemy's thoughts at a glance, not only Zhao Ming, but Zhao Zhen also figured out the beginning and end of the matter as soon as he received the news, but what if he thought about it clearly? If you ignore it, then the big deal will be to swallow Xiangyang City on the side of their mouths and then open their mouths to swallow you, not to mention the reinforcements that have now been defeated by the remnants, even if the 200,000 troops before are nothing in the eyes of the other party, but the worst thing now is not these, if it is just this situation, Xiangyang City can't keep at least they can protect themselves, and there is no problem in retreating, but now Xu Deyi, Shi Qianzi's sudden rebellion caused the reinforcements to lose more than half of their combat power in an instant, and this news must not escape the other party, whether it is Shi Qianzi or the two innate powerhouses who escaped, they will pass the news to the leader of the other party as soon as possible, if so, then they have now unknowingly fallen into the trap of the other party, it is likely that they have even been cut off by the other party to retreat, to the point where there is no way to retreat.......
In the past half a day, Zhao Ming and Zhao Zhen were worried about this matter, and they took three waves of scouts in a row to inquire about the news, but each wave was gone forever, and now their hearts have completely sunk, and they have no more wasted scouts to probe, this is a trap is already understandable......
"Master......." Zhao Zhenxiang said something, but Zhao Ming seemed to know what he was going to say, raised his hand and waved it: " The little monk that His Royal Highness the Five Kings is worried about naturally knows that now our army's back road is cut, and Xiangyang in front of it has been surrounded by Dajin and Daliao, and our army has now reached the point where it is difficult, but since the other party has not done it for a long time, it can only be said that they are still a little afraid of us, but we can't move, Xiangyang City is a dead gourd, if we really get into it like they think, it just hit their strategy, and when the time comes, it will be surrounded by water, then it is really called every day should not be called the earth and the earth is not working.......”
"Yes....... We have no way to retreat now, just our less than 100,000 remnants, even if there are three of us sitting here, the other party doesn't want to lose a lot, the other party just needs nothing to harass, I can't wait, we really have no room for resistance in the long run, now we only need to wait with the defenders of Xiangyang, and make peace with General Nangong Shengda, and when the time comes, we may be able to keep those golden soldiers out of the city......"
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, he didn't believe that his remnants of the defeated army would last long in this wilderness, the other party might be afraid of the three of them, or afraid of Zhao Ming's existence, so he would not do it for a long time, but the other party didn't need to do it himself, just send troops to harass the enemy every time, not to defeat the enemy, just to harass, they couldn't hold it all the time......
In this way, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, it is better to take the initiative to enter this Xiangyang City as the other party wishes, since the other party has already arranged it, then they will plan it, and finally see if their wishful thinking can be played, and also see if his remnants and defenders can survive until the next wave of reinforcements arrive......
However, his idea was indeed extremely stupid in Zhao Ming's eyes, since the other party could use these Xiangyang defenders as bait and could put them in Xiangyang City after all, how could there be no means of restraint? What's more, the other party obviously does not want to annihilate them at all, this is simply a complete trap, and they are those lambs who are put into the trap, waiting for the rescue of the ewes, now the lamb is the Xiangyang defenders, they are ewes, when they go in, they will become the lambs, Zhao Ming can be sure that the other party will definitely use them as bait to lure the next wave of reinforcements to come, now the number of Xiangyang defenders is not much, they may be able to abandon it as soon as they grit their teeth, if there is no rebellion, they may have retreated directly, but when the time comes, they will go inWill those later reinforcements abandon the hundreds of thousands of Great Song soldiers and the four innate worshippers? Zhao Ming knew with his ass that it was impossible, so they couldn't fall into this trap from the beginning......
