Under the isolated city, people in Puyang were panicked. In the city, the meeting hall. Jin general Zhou Kai was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Wearing armor and a cape, he kept walking above him, and the generals on both sides were silent.
Not long after, Puyang County Sheriff, dressed in official uniform, hurried in. Seeing him, Zhou Kai stopped pacing, hurriedly greeted him, and asked aloud: "Master Zhang, how is the situation?"
"Alas!" Puyang County Sheriff first sighed, and then said: "General, it's not that I am not cooperating, but that the Puyang treasury really has no food. It has been all used up for the previous war."
"Then we have to find a way!" Zhou Kai said: "Puyang has become an isolated city now. Our army's troop transportation, food and grass, and various supplies have been cut off. If we want to defend the city, we can only rely on ourselves!"
"I have thought of a way. After knowing the general's difficulty, I have issued a decree from the county government. However, after a few days, we can only acquire eight thousand stones of food and grass. This is still a forced conquest." Puyang County Sheriff said.
Eight thousand stones, approximately more than 800,000 kilograms. This number sounds huge, but you must know that this is a war. In ancient times, it took more than a hundred kilograms of arm strength to draw a bow. The physical strength of the soldiers was serious. The Jin army had a hundred thousand people. These grains , not enough to eat for a few days!
"How can eight thousand stones be enough! Continue to force the conquest!" Zhou Kai also said directly.
"But... but general, the war in Puyang has been going on for nearly a year. Material consumption has been serious. The people in the city have no surplus food. Even if they force the army again, it will probably be a drop in the bucket." Puyang County Sheriff said.
"No matter what! We must grab food and grass! If we can't hold on, everyone will die!" As Zhou Kai spoke, he also pulled Puyang County Sheriff to the sand table, pointed at the sand table and said: "Master Zhang, see for yourself! Now! The situation between the enemy and ourselves! Is there anything our army can do?" On the sand table, the military deployment of the Qin and Jin armies was described in detail.
The small red flag representing the Jin army was placed at the top of Puyang City, but around it, in all directions, in every city, there were small black flags.
There are black flags all over the sand table, but there is only one red flag, and it is surrounded by many people. Even people who don't understand soldiers can see it intuitively.
"This...this..." Puyang County Sheriff swallowed secretly after reading it, and then stammered: "Okay, okay, I will think of a solution here..." After that, he said again He looked confused and said: "But General, in my opinion, Puyang will run out of food sooner or later. If the King of Qin continues to besiege and does not attack, our army will also be trapped to death."
"Well..." Zhou Kai pondered for a moment and said: "You are right. I have thought about the breakout in the past few days. However, the Qin army's defense line is difficult to break. We cannot act rashly. We must formulate a strategy in advance. ."
"Then, can we concentrate our superior forces and break through one area? We have a hundred thousand troops. And the Qin army is surrounding the city on all sides. Each area has at most 50,000 people. It should not be able to stop our army's attack." Puyang County Governor tentatively said road.
"No." Zhou Kai directly objected: "If this is the case, our army is putting all its hopes on one place. If the Qin army's defense line shrinks and becomes a double team, the army will be in danger."
"This..." Puyang County Sheriff didn't know what to say. Zhou Kai thought for a while and then said: "If we really want to break through, we can only feint to attack one place to attract the Qin army's attention, and then use the main force to break through another place." Feint attack will lead to death, attract the enemy's army, and coordinate the main force.
This arrangement was clear. After hearing this, Puyang County Sheriff swallowed his saliva, and all the generals in the hall also looked at each other subconsciously.
Zhou Kai looked around and asked, "What do you think?"
"This..." Everyone moved their lips, not knowing how to answer, because this strategy was fine, but who would be responsible for the feint attack.
Everyone was silent. When Zhou Kai saw this, he said seriously: "This time the weak Qin attacks us and the strong Jin. The King of Qin wants to occupy my land! You are all generals in the army and you should understand the responsibilities of soldiers!" As he spoke, he added: "Puyang is in the current situation. If our army can successfully break through and coordinate with Xuzhou, then all lines will be alive! Such an important task is to save the family and the country from danger! Who can take on it!" After hearing these words, finally A general couldn't help it anymore, he stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists and said: "I'm going!" This was a burly man. When Zhou Kai heard this, he immediately looked over and couldn't help but said: "General Tian, do you know what's going on? Danger."
"The general understands! As the general said, soldiers should know their responsibilities! As a general of the Jin army, if he can serve the country and make his ambition clear, the general will die without regrets! Wrapping his body in horse leather is also the glory of our generation!" General Tian His words were spoken with dignity and dignity, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but stand in awe after hearing his words.
Zhou Kai straightened his body, immediately raised his fist towards General Tian, and said seriously: "General, you are highly righteous and devoted to the country! He is truly a role model for our generals!"
"We must not act as the last general. We only hope that after the feint attack, we can win a chance for the main force of our army. The general should break out quickly, join forces with Xuzhou and defeat the Qin army as soon as possible!" General Tian said.
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Kai nodded, with a serious look on his face, and began to draw his sword, pointing at the sand table and deploying in detail: "After King Qin's army besieged the city, his focus should be on the east gate, because the east gate The gate is the direction leading to Xuzhou. According to common sense, it is also the place where our army needs to break through."
"As for the south gate, the Qin army's strength should be relatively small, because below it are mostly cities occupied by the Qin army. The King of Qin must be in a more relaxed state here."
"Therefore, General Tian can lead 30,000 troops, leave the city late at night, and break out from the east gate."
"Using the darkness as a cover, they made a posture of breaking out with the main force. The Qin army did not know the strength of our army and only thought that the main force was attacking, so they would inevitably focus all their attention here."
"After General Tian successfully attracts the attention of King Qin, the main force of our army will take advantage of the opportunity to leave from the south gate, break through to Changning, and then rush towards Xuzhou from the northeast."
"If this strategy is successful, although Puyang is lost, the main force of our army can successfully break through. At that time, we can coordinate with General Du Yu in Xuzhou to deal an absolute blow to the Qin army, and then everything will be saved!" He finished his words! , everyone also nodded in agreement.
General Tian said: "Follow the general's deployment, and the general will go down and select the troops right now!"
"Okay! Tomorrow, we will pretend to attack the east gate, and the main force will come out from the south gate!"
"Everyone, go down quickly and get ready!"
"No!" All the generals clasped their fists together. Zhou Kai, on his side, decided to take the initiative to launch a breakout because Puyang was short of supplies and food and grass had been cut off after a year of fighting.
As soon as he gave the order, the Jin army immediately moved. Late the next night, after the pre-war mobilization, General Tian without saying a word, directly ordered the east gate to be opened and led his troops to rush out.
