Lu Fan's position is not low. Since Xiao Yuan became the prefect of Qinzhou, he has been under his command and is a true elder of Qinzhou.
Although not as good as Shangguan Wenruo and Jia You Wang Su, he is still a member of Xiao Yuan's group of advisers.
He made suggestions and made many contributions in large-scale battles such as the counterattack against Xirong, the battle into Sichuan, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Pingjin.
Now that he said this, Su Yi stopped talking and said to Gao Sheng: "Separate a part of the cavalry to drive these young men out of Luyang."
"No!" Goldman Sachs clasped his fists quickly.
Su Yi waved his hand back again: "Stop!"
Following his order, the sound of armor clattering became one, and the officers and soldiers of the Qin army put away their halberds one after another.
Seeing this scene, countless people kowtowed again.
"Thank you General for not killing..."
Su Yi pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and led the large troops away. Goldman Sachs began to be responsible for driving these civilians back to their hometowns.
In this decisive battle at Bailang Mountain, it is no exaggeration to say that the Qin army suffered no losses at all.
With pure combat power, crush them from start to finish.
After the First World War, the 200,000 strong men that Wu had finally recruited were dispersed, and Pan Jin also died in this battle.
Next, Su Yi began to make final arrangements for the attack on Wudu.
He first ordered a Qin general to garrison 10,000 troops in Luyang City, and another general to garrison 10,000 troops in the Bailang Mountain area.
After ensuring the safety of the rear transportation thoroughfares, the 80,000 Qin army began to advance directly towards the capital of Wu.
With such a movement, the news naturally reached the King of Wu's court immediately.
In the court meeting hall, King Wu was not only full of anxiety, but also confused.
"Twenty thousand young men could not stop the Qin army even half a cent, and Pan Jin's whereabouts are unknown. Now, Su Yi leads an army of 80,000 men and is heading towards the capital of our country. In two days, only two days, the army will be at the gate!"
As he spoke, he looked around in panic: "What to do, what to do! You are talking!"
"Not everyone is usually eloquent, why are they all mute today!"
All the ministers of the Wu Kingdom in the main hall lowered their bodies, and no one spoke.
There is no magic solution to the current situation.
And many ministers have already begun to think of a way out for themselves. These people are all related to the rise and fall of their families, and many of them have secretly communicated with Xiao Yuan.
This is also inevitable.
Seeing that all the ministers were silent, the King of Wu opened his eyes wide and cried out sadly again: "It's over! It's over! Will the two hundred years of foundation of our Kingdom of Wu be destroyed by my own hands?"
After hearing this, Prime Minister Wu finally couldn't help it anymore and went out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, we can only order the imperial army to hold on to the capital. At the same time, we will issue royal orders to continue recruiting young men and women from all over the country to enter the capital. Maybe we can even surround Su Yi's army."
He was a bit whimsical. Although Su Yi liked to move dangerously and unconventionally, there was absolutely no fault in his military deployment. While attacking the capital, the Luyang and Bailangshan arterial roads behind him were But they all have troops left.
Although there are only 10,000 people in each of these two places, it would be difficult for ordinary civilians to overcome them. What's more, it would be very difficult to conquer Wu by force.
But there is no good solution at the moment. King Wu heard this and without much hesitation, he immediately pointed his finger and shouted: "Hurry up and declare the commander of the forbidden army!"
The eunuch began to stand at the door of the hall, calling loudly down the steps.
The orders were passed down one after another. After a while, Shao Lie, the commander of the imperial army, walked quickly into the hall. He was dressed in armor. After walking to the front, he knelt on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, Shao Lie, see you, your Majesty!"
"Hurry up and forgive me." King Wu said, and quickly got off the king's table, personally reached out to help Shao Lie, and said sadly: "My beloved, our family and country are in trouble now, the country is in danger, that violent Qin is ravaging Wu, and tigers and wolves are coming soon. I want to hand over the important task of protecting the city to you. Your shoulders are not only my king's great trust, but also my century-old foundation of Wu!"
With such words, Shao Lie's expression immediately straightened up and he said seriously: "My lord, I have received favor from the king in this life, even if my body is shattered to pieces, I can't repay it! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Qin army cannot enter the city unless they step over the body of the minister!" "
These words were sonorous and powerful. King Wu couldn't help but nod his head and warned again: "Ai Qing, you must defend the capital..."
Although the Forbidden Army only has 10,000 people, these people are all carefully selected from various armies. Not only are they absolutely loyal to the State of Wu, but they are also the best among the best.
Two days later, 80,000 Qin troops arrived in Wudu.
Shao Lie had already made preparations to defend the war, and even went to the city in person to mobilize before the war.
Needless to say, the Forbidden Army of a country is the most sophisticated force in the country in terms of weapons and armor. Moreover, the city defense of Wudu is high, large and extremely solid. There are sufficient grain and grass supplies in the city, and the defense equipment is complete. It is not that easy to capture this place forcefully. .
After approaching the city, Su Yi did not think about defeating it quickly, but launched a tentative attack, aiming to study the strength of the city's defense, the enemy's combat style, and the degree of resistance of the opponent.
In the eyes of a good commander, these are all important.
After two hours of fighting, Su Yiju waved his hand from his commanding position, and with the sound of gold ringing, the Qin army hastily withdrew its troops and began to camp and rest.
Then, the generals from various ministries gathered together for a military meeting.
In the tent, Goldman Sachs took the lead and said: "The troops guarding Wu Du are all the forbidden troops of the Wu Palace. This first battle shows that their combat strength is not inferior to our army at all, and they are defending according to the city defense. The general thought that this general It’s a tough battle.”
"To tell you the truth, the Wu State's forbidden army not only has extremely high combat power, but is also well-trained and has high morale. The resistance is particularly fierce. Our officers and soldiers have been attacked head-on in many cases." Another general said.
"Aren't you trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?" Some generals were dissatisfied.
"Huh?" Su Yi raised his hand and said seriously: "When the two armies are fighting, we should face up to the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves. The enemy has strengths and cannot ignore them."
Lu Fan received: "What Commander Su said is true. The art of war is like Go. Only by knowing the black and guarding the white, and avoiding strengths and weaknesses, can you win."
Hearing this, Su Yi looked at him: "Sir, do you have any suggestions?"
Lu Fan thought for a while and said: "In today's battle, the reason why Wu's forbidden army performed so bravely is closely related to its commander. It is said that generals have a will to die and soldiers have no desire to live. There is a Shao Lie in the defense of Ximen City. , can be a good defensive general, but the other three gates are not. Therefore, the official believes that attacking alone is not as good as attacking together, and there are always flaws to be found."
Shao Lie did not have the ability to clone himself, and the Wu Kingdom's imperial army was insufficient in strength. Although it was not a good strategy to fight from four directions, it was currently the most feasible method.
Su Yi didn't say much. He frowned slightly and said, "As Mr. said, let's do this for now."
He also needed to develop a better siege strategy.
