- "Breakout?"
Xie An was surprised and looked at each other with Li Shou.
After Xie An formulated the primary tactics for this battle, Changsun Xiangyu and Liu Qing finally reluctantly put aside their prejudices against each other, although this peaceful coexistence was only temporary.
But no matter what, these two conscientious strategists finally came up with the best solution, but this solution was a little difficult for everyone in the room to understand.
"Yes, my lord, break out!" Seeing Xie An's confused expression, Changsun Xiangyu nodded heavily, intending to prove that Xie An had not heard anything wrong just now.
"Xie Changsun, do you mean to give up Jijing?" Li Shou looked at Changsun Xiangyu blankly. He originally thought that Changsun Xiangyu and Liu Qing could help them defend Jijing, but he never expected that these two This strange woman actually gave up Jijing, the royal capital that had been passed down for hundreds of years, right away.
As if he saw something in Li Shou's blank eyes, Liu Qing sneered and said, "Now that Anping has fallen, the city of Jijing is just an isolated city. You don't want to find any way to break out. How can you still defend here?" Can¡¯t wait to die?!¡±
Maybe it was because the Liu and Li families had been feuding for generations. Although Liu Qing knew that Li Shou, a gentle and elegant man, was the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, she still had difficulty in having a good impression of him. She immediately sneered and sneered. Fortunately, Li Shou Longevity is indeed tolerant. Although I felt a little embarrassed when I touched my nose, I never resented Liu Qing, a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Speak nicely!" Xie An frowned and glared at Liu Qing, then turned to look at Changsun Xiangyu, hoping she would explain this.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu did not disobey her husband. He nodded knowingly and explained seriously, "The so-called poverty means thinking about change, and change means adapting Our current situation is just like what this girl said. It is really at the end of the road. , the only way out is to adapt, try to open up the situation in the stalemate, change the situation, and become beneficial to us
"At present, in our Anping Kingdom, only Jijing and Boling are still in our hands, and the rest have been captured by Northern Xinjiang. It is just an unrealistic idea to expect the local army to come to help. It is best not to use this kind of expectation on the battlefield, which is not even a fluke. "
Li Shou nodded and accepted it humbly. After all, he did hope that the local army could come to rescue the siege. But he also understood that it was just a wish to deceive himself. After all, the local army's strength could not exceed 30,000 at most, and most of them were city defense troops. In terms of strength, they would not be the opponent of the northern Xinjiang army, let alone the distance. Those distant local armies were too late to support the capital, so what if they came? It was just to give the Yuyang Iron Cavalry an extra piece of their illustrious military exploits in defeating the enemy.
"Breaking through?" He touched the half-inch beard on his chin. Li Shou frowned and thought.
Seeing that Li Shou was still hesitating, Changsun Xiangyu continued, "Your Majesty, I know that I never like to defend, because it is difficult for the defender to grasp the initiative on the battlefield. For now, we can indeed defend Jijing. The city wall of Ji Jing is seven to eight feet high. With the new force of the Jizhou Army, even if it can be defended for a year and a half, the concubine will no longer be in trouble. The only question is whether the food stored in Jizhou City can support it. At that moment! If not, once the food grains in Jijing City are exhausted, how should we face it? "
"This" Li Shou was speechless. Although Jijing, as the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, did have abundant grain reserves in the treasury, there was a problem. The arrival of the Jizhou Army suddenly increased the number of 70,000 soldiers in the city, and the number of people in the city suddenly increased from 30,000 to 40,000 to 100,000. If in the past, the officials and merchants of the imperial court continuously transported grain from domestic grain production areas to Jijing, it would indeed be able to support the consumption of the people of Jijing and the Jijing army, but the problem is that most of Jijing's heritage has now been moved to Chaoge. , so that the grain and grass reserves in Jijing's treasury will only decrease but not increase every day. Therefore, it is okay to hold it for a few months, but if you want to rely on the city wall of Jijing to fight a war of attrition with the Northern Xinjiang army, today's Jijing Kyo couldn't afford it.
Originally, generals like Lin Zhen, Le Jun, Wei Yun and other generals of the Southern Army were inclined to stick to Jijing, but now after being prompted by Chang Sun Xiangyu, their ideas were immediately shaken. After all, food and grass matters. The stakes are high. Once the food and grass are exhausted, there will be no need to continue this battle.
But the question is, how to break out?
With the presence of two huge armies, the Northern Xinjiang Army of King Yan Li Mao and the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, if the Hebei and Beijing side loses the protection of the city wall and encounters the enemy in the wild, it is obviously easy to see, and it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow.
"It seems that the key lies in how to break out of the encirclement" Beside the Eight Sage King Li Xian, Ji Hong, the Minister of Personnel, nodded thoughtfully.
When everyone in the room heard this, they subconsciously turned their heads to look at Changsun Xiangyu and Liu Qing. In their opinion, these two strange women were both capable and capable.The strategist, since he said the words of breaking out, he had already thought about it and thought of a way to deal with it.
But unfortunately, neither Changsun Xiangyu nor Liu Qing seemed to have the intention to reveal it. He obviously had a confident look on his face, but he didn't reveal any relevant information at all, which made everyone in the room feel itchy as if thousands of ants were crawling over him.
"Then let's do this first" Glancing at Changsun Xiangyu, Xie An coughed and said in a deep voice, "order the entire army to rest for seven days. After seven days, we will try to break out according to the plan of the two military advisors!"
"Get the order!" Except for Li Shou, Li Xian, Liang Qiu Gong, Yin Gong, Wen Qin and others, all the generals in the room immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order.
That night was uneventful. Although the Liaodong Expeditionary Force outside the city used prancing horse missiles from time to time to harass the soldiers on top of the city while they were resting, as long as this kind of harassment was for prevention, there was not much loss.
The garrison in the city pretended that the Liaodong Expeditionary Force outside the city did not exist. Led by the Jizhou Army, several troops in the city had a nice rest for the night. Come to think of it, after more than two months of hard work, even the soldiers of Jizhou who have been in battle for a long time are already exhausted mentally and physically. As for the soldiers of the Southern Army, Northern Army and the Weiwei Temple City Defense Department who have been defending Jijing for several months, their They were so exhausted that after dinner, they had already returned to their respective resting places and fell asleep.
As for the guarding of the city, it was temporarily taken over by hundreds of assassins from Dongling and Jinling.
"Li Maoshouldn't attack the city suddenly, right?"
Although night fell, Li Shou, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, was not very sleepy. He dragged Xie An to relax on the city wall. After all, Xie An could be said to be his only close friend with whom he could talk. It was inconvenient to tell other officials about it. If so, Li Shou could confide without any scruples to this close friend who had been in adversity.
"Don't worry, it won't happen!" He yawned. Xie An said slowly.
"So sure?" Looking at Xie An in surprise, Li Shou said with confusion, "According to the military manual, shouldn't Li Mao take advantage of the Jizhou army's initial return to Hebei and launch an attack before they have established a foothold?"
"Huh?" Xie An felt less sleepy after hearing this. He turned his head and looked at Li Shou, smiling in surprise. "Okay Tell me honestly, when did you secretly watch The Art of War?"
Li Shou's face turned slightly red, he rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Why do you look so unbelievable? Can't I see the art of war? Although I am not as wise and powerful as my father, and I can charge on the battlefield, but I can still command the generals. Right? Don¡¯t think that just because you defeated the Three Kings and the Taiping Army this time, you can show off your achievements in front of me. I also defended Jijing for several months!"
"Can these two be compared?" Xie An curled his lips with disdain and struck Li Shou with words. However, he confirmed Li Shou's words in his heart. After all, it was not an easy task to defend Jijing for several months under the fierce attack of Yan King Li Mao.
The two were chatting when suddenly there was a loud rumble not far away. Listening carefully, it turned out to be the sound of the city gate opening.
Hear this sound. Li Shou's eyes lit up, and the fatigue on his face suddenly disappeared. He chuckled and said, "Oh? Are we about to start? The clever plan of the two strategists of your Jizhou Army"
"Ha!" Xie An smiled slightly and said nothing, just quietly waiting for what was about to happen.
Not long after Fucheng Gate opened, there was a commotion in the distance outside the city. Vaguely accompanied by a burst of foreign language.
"I took the bait" Li Shoulue said amusedly.
Before he finished speaking, the rumble of horse hoofs sounded in the distance outside the city. Within a moment, a group of cavalry arrived outside the Fucheng Gate of Jijing, and there was a lot of chattering.
On the top of the city, several Dongling assassins threw several torches into the distance and took a closer look at the light of the torches. Then he knew that the cavalry was undoubtedly another tiger and wolf division under the command of King Yan Li Mao, the Liaodong Expeditionary Force.
"My ears are really good" Even Xie An was a little frightened by the agility of the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, a group of notorious thugs.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about" Li Shou sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "It's not that I didn't support Changsun's suggestion to break out of the encirclement before. The problem is that most of Li Mao's men are cavalry, and ours, Both the Southern Army and the Northern Army are infantry. Even 60% of your Jizhou Army is infantry, not to mention that the armor of the Southern Army soldiers weighs hundreds of kilograms. Encountered, I am afraid that we will hardly be the opponents of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry"
??Zhang Qi fought for a while, but that victory was only based on the Northern Xinjiang Army not knowing the strength of the Jizhou Army, and now the opponent had already prepared for it. Therefore, it was difficult for Xie An to repeat his old tricks and use Fei Guo's tricks at that time. Went to deal with the Yuyang cavalry.
At this time, bursts of curses came from the Liaodong Expeditionary Force outside the city. It turned out that Fucheng Gate had already been closed when they arrived. In other words, they thought there would be opportunities to take advantage of it. opportunity, but in reality, the trip was in vain.
Not only was the trip in vain, the main division of the Jizhou Army that stayed behind also launched a volley of crossbows at the Liaodong Expeditionary Force outside the city under the command of Deputy Commander Tang Hao. Although it may not have effectively killed or wounded the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, it has since The curses coming from the other side, the foreign language with an obviously angry tone, were enough to prove the resentment in the hearts of those Liaodong expeditionary troops.
Thinking about it, I thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, but I didn't expect that my trip was in vain, and some people were shot to death by the opponent. How could the rebellious Liaodong Expeditionary Army swallow this bad breath, and screamed, A round of prancing horse fire was fired at the head of Jijing City in retaliation.
But it is a pity that as long as experienced soldiers are fired by this kind of projectile, there will be no casualties. No, the main soldiers of the Jizhou Army on the tower had their shields on their heads after firing a salvo. It protected the whole body, so that except for a few unlucky guys whose hands and feet were shot by stray arrows, there were no casualties.
Cursing in foreign languages, the Far East Expeditionary Force retreated. We dismounted and rested about two arrows away from Jijing.
"Whoosh¡ª¡ª"
A rocket was shot from the strong bow in Tang Hao's hand, aiming at the place where the Liaodong Expeditionary Army was resting. With the faint light of the rocket, the group of Liaodong Expeditionary Army soldiers who were dismounted and resting were looked at by the guards on the top of Jijing City. Be clear.
"How courageous!" A dangerous sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Hao, a gentle Confucian general. He glanced at the few Jizhou Army crossbowmen behind him and said with a chuckle, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I'm afraid I I won¡¯t get a chance to sleep after waiting all night"
"What did Deputy Commander Tang say"
The soldiers looked at each other and smiled tacitly, not feeling disappointed or troubled at all by Tang Hao's words, as if there was something more important and interesting than rest.
"Is this a strategy to exhaust troops?"
Looking at the pitch-black field outside the city, Xie An had a hint of realization on his face, thinking about it. He was somewhat able to guess the strategy used by Changsun Xiangyu and Liu Qing.
"It's just that the foreign cavalry of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force are easy to deceive, but can this trick fool King Li Mao of Yan, a famous northern general who is proficient in military strategy?
To be honest, Xie An is not optimistic about this matter.
Just as Xie An guessed, what Changsun Xiangyu used was indeed a strategy to exhaust the army. Seeing that the Liaodong Expeditionary Force was extremely arrogantly resting just a stone's throw away from Jijing, Changsun Xiangyu asked the four generals Tang Hao, Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li to open the city gates in the four directions of Jijing according to the time. Immediately before the Liaodong Expeditionary Force arrived after hearing the noise, they closed the city gate again. At the same time, they were rewarded with a volley of bows and crossbows.
Not to mention, this little trick to tire out the troops caused the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, a cavalry composed of foreign warriors, to spin around and make them unable to sleep well all night.
"How can the second lady be so sure that the foreign cavalry will fall into the trap?"
Privately, Mirage Princess Qin Keer asked her eldest grandson Xiangyu curiously.
Since Qin Ke'er was considered to be of his own faction, Changsun Xiangyu did not hesitate to give him advice. Hearing this, he explained with a chuckle, "I'm afraid sister Ke'er doesn't know. Although the Liaodong Expeditionary Army works for King Li Mao of Yan, the latter wants to drive the former, but he can't It's not just a general order that can drive In the past, when Li Mao attacked large tribes in the grassland, he mostly promised that the Liaodong Expeditionary Army could plunder the property and women of that tribe after the war, and the latter was happy to do so. Acceptthe Liaodong Expeditionary Army is nothing more than a strong bandit with a strong organization. Driven by profit, they will not go if there is no profit!
Since this group of people is staring at Ji Jing, it is obvious that Li Mao must have promised something to them"
Qin Keer¡¯s expression changed slightly when he heard this. He whispered, "What the second lady means is that King Li Mao of Yan promised these people that if they capture Jijing, they will be allowed to kill, burn, and loot in the city?"
"Although it's different, it's not far off!" Changsun Xiangyu said calmly.
"This is really" Qin Ke'er said with slight sweat on her forehead, "I can't believe that Li Mao, a northern hero and a national hero among the people in the world, would acquiesce in allowing foreigners to harm our own people"
Hearing this, Changsun Xiangyu shook his head and chuckled, "If sister Keer thinks so, then she is looking down on Li Mao"
¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡±
"Ah, if Li Mao really dares to do such a thing, he will really become a sinner of the country. Looking at the size of our country, there will be no heroes willing to surrender to him If I guess If he is right, this is just a ploy to drive away tigers and devour wolves! Now that his Yuyang Iron Cavalry has become stronger and stronger and has become the overlord of the grassland, the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, a strange force used to harass the grassland tribes, has been reduced to a The hidden danger that cannot be removed He wants to use the Liaodong Expeditionary Force to get rid of us. On the other hand, why doesn't he hope to use our hands to get rid of the Liaodong Expeditionary Army for him who doesn't know when it will erupt in the future? Cancer? No matter which side is destroyed, it is good news for him!"
"That's it" Qin Ke'er nodded in realization and murmured, "I thought Li Mao was just a brave and foolhardy warrior, but I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in his heart"
Changsun Xiangyu shook his head with a smile but not a smile, and said softly, "If Li Mao was just a brave and foolhardy warrior, how could he become the overlord of Northern Xinjiang and even the grassland? His reputation was even greater than that of Liang Qiugong, the Tiger of Northern Xinjiang. ?¡±
Qin Keer nodded silently. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively, "I think this plan of the second lady is not just a plan to defeat the exhausted troops of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, right? Could it be that the second lady is trying to hide the truth?" This is a plan to sneak out under the eyes of the Liaodong Expeditionary Army"
When Changsun Xiangyu heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked lightly, "How can you see it? Couldn't it be that I just want to teach such an arrogant and ignorant foreign cavalry a lesson?"
"Because the Second Madam did not ask Generals Ma Dan and Liao Li to go out of the city to attack the Liaodong Expeditionary Force!" Looking at Changsun Xiangyu, Qin Ke'er said seriously, "Although foreigners do not understand my military strategy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are not perfect. Idiot, after being deceived a few times, even if we open the city gate to deceive again, I'm afraid they won't take it seriously anymore If the second lady really just wants to teach them a lesson, she should call the two generals Ma Dan and Liao Li They were waiting for an opportunity to leave the city for a sneak attack. Everyone knew that both Generals Ma and Liao were good at sneak attacks with cavalry, but the second lady did not do so. The only explanation is that the second lady did not want to alert the snake, and did not want the soldiers of the Liaodong Expedition to be wary "
"Smart!" Changsun Xiangyu smiled and praised him without hesitation.
However, Changsun Xiangyu¡¯s approval did not make Qin Keer smile. On the contrary, she actually showed a worried look on her face.
"There is something I don't know whether to say or not"
"Say it!"
"HmmSecond Madam, have you ever thought that even the slave can see through this matter? Can King Yan Li Mao also guess it?"
Hearing this, Changsun Xiangyu suddenly covered his mouth and chuckled, making his branches tremble with laughter.
"Giggle, giggle If Li Mao can't see through it, wouldn't it mean that I and Liu Qing have to work in vain?"
