Chapter 407 (1/2)
”Xu Shuai, now that the grain and grass have been lost and the army has no fighting spirit, or we will take advantage of the night to confuse the Han Army in the city by hanging sheep and beating drums. Shall we retreat?”
Zhou Su heard that the food and grass of Dingtao camp was completely burned by the enemy, and his face suddenly changed. Then he suggested.
Xu He snorted: ”retreat? The grain and grass in Dingtao camp have been burned up. Where can we escape? ”
Zhou Su tried to persuade him: ”although the grain and grass stored in Dingtao camp were burned, we can still have 12 / 10 left. In a big deal, we will break up into parts and go back to the mountains and forests to have a good time...”
”no way!” When Xu he heard this sentence, his face suddenly became angry: ”it was not easy for me to kill him from the deep mountain. Now how can we retreat in a gray way? Absolutely not!”
Zhou Su said with a bitter smile, ”what do you want to do with Xu Shuai?”
Xu he lowered his head to think for a time, and suddenly raised his head.
”Isn't King Xiang going down the drain and the giant deer won? Now that the grain and grass have been burned, our army's cauldron has also been smashed. In this case, we will do our best to fight the enemy! ”
Zhou Su frowned and said, ”but Xu Shuai, the news that Dingtao's grain and grass was burned has been spread to the army, and now many people have fled...” although Xu he's subordinates are known as more than 100000 troops, most of them are from Yanzhou. Many of them were originally strong men who were farmers at home. They were caught for no reason. Their sense of belonging to the yellow scarf thieves was not strong at all I heard that I didn't have to eat, so I ran away.
”Hum, these Yanzhou people are really unreliable.” Xu and hummed: ”however, it's good to run, so there's no need to give them food.”
”I will order 30000 soldiers of the Chinese army to eat and drink, and fight the Han Army to death today.” Xu he's eyes twinkle with determination.
Xu he also knew that Yanzhou soldiers didn't have a strong sense of belonging, so they seldom used their own lineage to attack suanzaocheng. Generally, the legitimate troops served as the supervisors and ordered Yanzhou soldiers to attack suanzaocheng. Therefore, elite troops still existed.
Zhou Su heard this, a little silent, boxing way: ”no!” Having said that, Zhou Su stepped out of the camp and ordered the logistics camp to cook, so that the soldiers had a good meal.
The situation in the jujube camp was also seen by the Han Army on the head of the city.
Jia Xu rushed into the command post with three points of joy on his face.
”General! According to the report from the spies at the head of the city, Xu he's army is unstable, and a large number of soldiers have fled in succession. It seems that general Zhang jaw has already... ”
” good! ”
With a smile on his face, Liu Ye unfolds a letter in his hand, which is written by Zhang jaw himself.
Liu Ye said with a smile: ”the letter from Xiao Yi just arrived. He learned from the Yellow turban bandit's grain transportation team that the food and grass of the Yellow turban thieves were stored in Dingtao. Therefore, he made a decisive surprise attack at night. Most of the grain and grass in Dingtao camp were burned, and Xu Dun, Xu he's younger brother, was killed on the spot. He didn't stop the enemy's deserters. It is estimated that the news has already reached Xu he's army.”
Jia Xu said eagerly: ”general, there is no time to lose. Xu he's army has already broken down, which shows that the morale of the army is gradually collapsing. If our army gathers a large army at this moment and launches a thunderbolt attack at one point, the enemy will surely collapse!”
”Xu he's troops are all gathered here. If we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop today, we can take advantage of the situation to recover Yanzhou and wipe out the Central Plains. If Xu he runs away tonight, it would be terrible.” Jia Xu warned.
Liu Ye's eyes were firm: ”well, in this case, I will order the soldiers to have a good meal, and the elite soldiers will go out to war.”
”Command the soldiers at the head of the city to burn the beacon fire and inform Mengqi and the Ming Dynasty to come to fight.”
