Chapter 680 (1/2)
”The governor said this very well.” Cheng Pu chin, a mature and dignified man, first said, ”it is not necessary for us to pour out nearly 30000 troops in Shuxian county. It is more than enough to capture Shu county with half or even Sany troops.”
”On the one hand, the reserve team can frighten the garrison in Shuxian City, and on the other hand, it can guard against Cao's army. If the Cao army really attacks, the reserve team can come forward and entangle Cao's army, then the siege troops can take the opportunity to retreat and compete with Cao's army. ”
If the Cao army really killed when the Jiangdong army attacked the city, there would be Shu County garrison in front of the Jiangdong army, and the Cao army would attack fiercely in the rear. If the reserve team could entangle Cao army, it would be fine.
”Good!” Zhou Yu raised his sword around his waist and said in a loud voice, ”the Lord gave me the seal of the governor's sword. Although Yu was not talented, he was ordered to control the generals in a crisis. If he did not obey, he should be killed with this sword!”
Whether it is Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other veteran generals, or Tai Shici, Chen Wu, Xu Sheng and other young and middle-aged groups, their faces are awe inspiring and they are all holding fists.
”The last general will wait for the order of the governor.”
”Where is Huang Gai?”
”The end will be there!”
”Tomorrow you will lead 3000 troops and attack Ximen.” Zhou Yu threw out a token and was caught by Huang Gai.
”No!”
”Where is Tai Shici?”
Tai Shici stepped forward: ”the end will be here, please give orders to the governor!”
Zhou Yu threw out another token: ”you also lead 3000 troops and horses to supervise the attack on the south gate.”
Han Dang and Chen Wu also received the token thrown out by Zhou Yu and led the three thousand governors to attack the north gate and the east gate respectively.
In general, the art of war stresses the method of encircling the three towers and one gate, that is, attacking only three gates and leaving one side. In this way, if the enemy in the city has a way to escape, it will naturally not be determined to fight the siege army to the end.
If all the gates are blocked up, the defenders in the city will have no way to retreat, so they will have to fight to the death, which will make it difficult to attack.
However, the battle in Shuxian is unusual. First, the enemy in the city is rebels, and many of them are forced by Li Shu and choose to surrender. Second, the enemy in the city is afraid of war and has low morale. Under such circumstances, the siege on all sides will not arouse the enemy's heart to fight, but will accelerate the collapse of the garrison in the city.
This is the way of the art of war. If we only know how to lead the army according to the military book, it will result in Zhao Kuo talking about the army on paper and Ma Su losing the Street Pavilion.
Zhou Yu also ordered: ”the remaining 13000 troops and horses will stand in line outside the city as a reserve team. Xu, Cheng, and Zhang are in the rear. ”
Cheng Pu and the other three also clasped fists and solemnly said, ”obey the order of the governor.”
Zhou Yu held up his sword and looked slowly around the generals around him. He said in a loud voice, ”gentlemen, Lujiang is the land of the East army of our river. The traitors of Li Shu can't help themselves. Our military affairs must seize Shuxian county at one stroke, so as to make peace with Jiangdong's father and repay the spirit of Fu Gong in heaven.”
”The last general will fight, and our Jiangdong army will win! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng
In the camp, dozens of Jiang Dongjun generals and generals all looked excited and cheered. The cry of ”Wansheng” spread from the Chinese army tent and was affected by the atmosphere. Although the Jiangdong soldiers around the Chinese army tent did not know what was going on, they could not help cheering with excitement.
”Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng
The sound of cheering was like a wave, sweeping the entire Jiangdong army camp in a quarter of an hour. More than 25000 Jiangdong army all raised their arms and raised their morale.
