From a military point of view, this is a dead end.
After Zhang Jin thought for a moment, he raised his head, clasped his fists and said tactfully: "General. We will lead our troops to camp between Ke County and Ling County. We can indeed cut off the connection between the two cities."
"But on the other hand, we are also in danger of being attacked by them from both sides. Especially since Chu State has a vast territory and rich resources, if they mobilize a large number of troops northward and out of Shanhaiguan in a short period of time, then we will be in great danger."
"You are right. But I don't believe it. The bloated court of Chu State can mobilize elite troops to go north in a short period of time. And I can destroy Wang Zhongbi's people and capture Ke County in a short period of time."
"And if something unexpected happens and I fail to capture Ke County in a short time, then I will fight them decisively."
"If it's a field battle, I'm confident that I can defeat 100,000 of them with three soldiers from ten thousand households."
Wu young man nodded lightly and agreed with Zhang Jin's statement, but then he held his head high and his chest high, his tiger eyes became brighter and more determined, and his voice was like the sound of gold and iron, sonorous and powerful.
What is the situation of Chu's army? Wu Nian knew it very well. Even Xiong Wuwo's soldiers gradually became elite after Xiong Wuwo refined them for a long time.
If the Chu State mobilized troops in a short period of time, Wu Nian believed that the personnel would be uneven.
How can such Chu soldiers compete with his thousands of elites?
It can be defeated in one battle.
Feng Chong, Zhang Jin, and Liu Wu all felt courage when they listened to Wu Nian's words and looked at the expression on Wu Nian's face.
Instead of storming the city, it is better to give it a try.
Although it is a risk, how can a man gain anything without taking risks when he is alive?
The hearts of the three people also became hot.
"Hahaha. The general said it well. Can mother-in-law and mother-in-law win the war? Just do it like this." Feng Chong burst out laughing, his brows flying high, showing great pride.
What a general's spirit.
Wu Nian looked at Feng Chong with admiration. Feng Chong's character flaws are too obvious. He is not a handsome man and cannot command an army of tens or hundreds of thousands.
But he has a fierce heart, and success or failure is secondary. Kill him quickly first. He is good at commanding tens of thousands of troops and charging into battle.
"Let's do it like this. Recharge your batteries, and at the same time write a lot of letters and make arrow letters. When the soldiers from the five thousand households we escorted the prisoners come back, we will start taking action."
Wu Nian had a look of determination on his face, he was a man who could not follow up on his words. Man, move forward fiercely.
"yes."
Zhang Jin and Liu Wu said no more and just clasped their fists.
That’s where the serious business ends. Wu Nian said with a smile: "It's hot and I feel sticky all over, so I feel uncomfortable. I'm going to take a bath and rest. You should also rest early."
"Yes." The three of them responded, clasped their fists and left.
.........
Ke County City.
Flags with the word "Chu" were hung on the city gates in the southeast and northwest, flying in the wind with great majesty. On the city walls and in the city, there were soldiers patrolling or standing guard everywhere.
After Wang Zhongbi's efforts, there were very few people in this city. It can almost be said to be a large barracks now.
Feng Chong, Wu Nian and others' guess was correct.
The bear has no repairs, and the city is strong. The large number of people prevented the military morale in the city from collapsing.
Zongbing Yamen, in the study room in the front yard. Wang Zhongbi sat on the Taishi chair, looking at the map on his desk and waiting for the money to arrive.
"Ta-ta-ta!" Footsteps came from outside the door. Wang Zhongbi looked up and saw that it was Qian Neng, so he asked: "Master Qian, have you calculated the grain?"
"We've calculated it. It can last for four months. If you save some food, it can last for five or six months." Qian Neng nodded, his face full of joy.
Nanhai Mansion has six cities.
Wu Nian captured two, and they themselves gave up two. The garrison, food, and baggage were also absorbed and concentrated.
Based on the amount of food, calculate the number of people and soldiers in the city. Only now can Qian Neng calculate how long the rations will last.
"There is no need to skimp on food. Just distribute the rations according to four months. Now is not the time before, we have to let the soldiers fight. No rations can be deducted. Not only can't they be deducted, but you have to add money. You can't save. There are also centralized pigs and sheep. Kill them all to replenish the soldiers."
"In addition, Mr. Qian, you open your warehouse, take out the silver, melt it into broken silver, and distribute it directly to the soldiers. The situation is urgent now, and I don't think the court will pursue it."
Wang Zhongbi shook his head and said with a arrogant look.
Qian Neng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
Every transaction of money in this warehouse must be accounted for. Although the matter is urgent, giving everything to reward the soldiers will still involve certain risks.
But now, there is nothing we can do.
"Okay. As long as we work together, plus my more than 20,000 soldiers, and the ready-made foundation left by Xiong Wu, Wu Nian only has two infantry of 10,000 households, which can be used to attack the city. I am very I am confident that I can survive three months.”
"Three months will be enough for the court to react and send us reinforcements. In addition, Chunyuan has received news in the north and will definitely help us relieve the siege."
"I am 90% sure that we can hold Kexian, Lingxian and Shanhaiguan. The remaining 10% is left to God." Wang Zhongbi nodded, with a look of confidence on his brows.
Although the field battle was defeated, the defense of the city was absolutely undefeated.
"Yes." Qian Neng nodded heavily, his eyebrows full of confidence.
Wang Zhongbi's arrangements are not finished yet. After that, he issued a fatal order to the generals and officers below to treat the soldiers well and boost morale.
He himself also patrolled the city walls with his own soldiers, not only greeting the soldiers but also boosting their morale. Sharpening a gun in the face of battle will bring displeasure.
Apart from anything else, people's hearts are becoming more and more stable.
It's like self-hypnosis.
"I can do it, I can do it. We can do it."
Both the enemy and ourselves are very confident in this attack and defense.
.............
The news that Wu Nian was alive had not yet spread.
north.
Chunyuan personally led an army of three thousand households to attack Yacheng. But the situation was not very good.
If it was a field battle, Tieniu was no match for Meng Yuan Wanhu. But he is an expert in defending the city. When Beishan Fort was built, they followed Wu Nian to defend the city.
Say it again. Now there are many people in Ya City. There are elite soldiers and militia. Chunyuan wants to conquer Yacheng in a short time, but that is a fool's errand.
Night falls. After a day of siege fighting, the Meng Yuan soldiers were very tired. After having dinner, they hurriedly went to bed.
The injured Meng Yuan soldier was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, making painful sounds from time to time.
Chunyuan wore a battle jacket and led dozens of soldiers to patrol the camp in person. He tried his best to provide comfort to the patrolling and guarding soldiers he encountered on the road, and reprimanded those who cheated and cheated, which greatly improved his morale. The defense of the military camp.
Chunyuan climbed up to the camp gate and looked in the direction of Yacheng. The lights on the city are very bright, and there are many soldiers patrolling and standing guard.
"Although Wu Nian is dead, his elite soldiers and generals are still there. They are ten times or a hundred times stronger than the Liaodong generals back then."
A look of emotion appeared on Chunyuan's face, and he said, "Wu Nian. He is truly a handsome man and a king."
"Fortunately, he is dead." Soon, Chunyuan's face showed a happy look. The presence or absence of the Liaodong Tigers makes a world of difference.
If Wu Nian was still alive, how could he dare to dispatch the entire army so rashly to attack Yingqing Mansion.
This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you are not careful, you may be defeated.
But after Wu Nian died, all problems were solved.
