Chapter 228 (1/2)

Everyone looked at Wei Ran. Just now they seemed quite sure of what he said.

Wei Ran looked up and said, ”the leader is my father. He is the God of war of the Tang Dynasty, and there are 20000 elite soldiers around him. Even if the military food is about to run out, I believe he will not be in distress. He must be looking for the flaws of the thief army and look for an opportunity to attack!”

If this sentence is about other generals, no one will take it seriously. But it's about Li Chengye. Every time he fights, he wins more with less and hits the strong with weak. Moreover, most of them are big and complete victories, with very few casualties on his side. Therefore, it must be convincing to describe Li Chengye.

Wei Ran continued: ”but after all, there are 130000 thieves. They are besieged layer by layer, deep trenches and high bases, and the defense line is stable, which also limits the movement of our cavalry. My father may not be so easy to find the flaw of the thief army. These days, the two sides must be testing each other, so the 3000 elite riding power here has become the key to breaking the deadlock! ”

Princess Shouning looked at the highland where Wei Ran pointed and the army position of Wang Xianzhi shrouded in the fog of war. She said suspiciously, ”but even if the siege of the thief army is broken, most of the 20000 tongpaos under the command of the county Marquis are infantry. How can she escape from the pursuit of the thief army with cavalry?”

Wei Ran looked at the princess with sharp eyes. ”Up to now, our army has no way back!”

He emphasized his tone on the word ”retreat”, then swept the faces of the officers and soldiers with aggressive eyes, slapped them on the map and said loudly: ”therefore, saving 20000 robes is not the purpose of this war! What we want to fight is not a breakthrough battle, but a counterattack, a strategic decisive battle! Either the thief dies or I die! ”

What courage is this? Even at the end of the mountain, what I think is not how to escape, how to save myself, but how to turn around and kill my opponent! Kill your opponent!

Wei Ran's spirit at this time is just like that of his father when he led the army to fight against strong enemies such as Jiedu envoys in border towns, Tubo and Huihe. Even if the troops were at a disadvantage, even if the weather and geography were not up to me, he could kill all the enemies and Jedi counterattack!

This is not the adopted son of the Li family. It is clear that he has got the true biography of Li Chengye!

Wei Ran's words stabilized the morale of the army and temporarily persuaded the people. Under the authorization of the current chief officer, Princess Shouning, he led three thousand divine strategists in the city to prepare to go east to Xuzhou to fight a Jedi counterattack.

Wei Ran asked the whole army to disarm, only wearing leather armor. All the officers and men had only one short soldier, one long soldier, one riding bow, six bags of arrow bags and 180 arrows. Another person has two horses. If there are not enough horses, he will forcibly levy mules and horses from the regiment training. That is, the donkey can take up and carry five days of food and grass.

If the food and grass were finished by then, Wei Ran would not care about the general interests of military discipline. He would certainly collect food from the remaining manor fortress. Dare not? With the halberd in hand, even if he kills a man who has no heir, he can't listen to the military order!

At this time, it is false to talk about etiquette, righteousness, integrity, benevolence, righteousness and morality. What strategists do is only for victory and defeat! If there is any curse afterwards, the big husband dare to act and bear it!

In the afternoon, the army was assembled. Wei Ran was ready to step on Dawan horse and lead the army. All the soldiers of the city came to the east gate to see them off.

Li Guangsi suddenly ran forward. Wei Ran did not allow him to follow him and tied him to the room. I don't know when he broke free of the rope and ran out, ”brother, I'm going to save my father!”

Wei Ran looked at him, ”you can't improve your combat effectiveness. Stay here honestly.”

”No, dad is in danger. I'm the son of the Li family. I have to fight with my father!”

”Just because you are the son of the Li family, you must stay here. The Li family can kill me, not you!”

”But...”
