"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.
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng
Jiangdong army is united as one, and the regular shouts seem to converge into a torrent, which can be heard even in Shuxian County several miles away.
Mount Tai can be shaken!
The rebel guards above the head of Shuxian County looked at each other. All of them were pale. Some recruits and some timid soldiers even couldn't help shaking their legs.
The Marquis of the South Gate (the person in charge of the gate on one side of the city called it the menhou, whose rank was roughly equivalent to that of a hundred generals). He couldn't help but fight against each other. Suddenly, his nose twitched for a while, showing an expression of disgust, and his palm slapped his nose.
Door Hou frowned: "what flavor, so Sao?"
He looked in the direction of the smell and saw a thin, 16-year-old soldier with trembling legs. His pants were wet, and the bottom edge was still dripping with light yellow liquid. His feet and straw sandals were wet, forming a pool of urine stains.
The Marquis was very angry: "you this Si, how scared to pee pants, I am also angry!"
And the guard who peed his pants was shivering all over. He didn't know whether he was frightened by Jiangdong army or by the furious marquis. He didn't answer.
"Bad luck!" The Marquis scolded and said to the two guards at his side, "you two, carry this boy down and let him change his trousers quickly."
"Come on! Go to the bottom of the city and dig some sand to cover up the urine. Hurry up
The Marquis ordered that some people would go to work. However, the nearly 100 guards at the head of the city did not laugh at the guards who peed their pants, because they were so shocked and speechless by the earth shaking cheers of Jiangdong army outside the city.All of a sudden, there was a shout from the steps of the gate tower.
"Here comes the general!"
Several dozen of them took the lead. The rest of them gathered around a general in iron sleeve armor and went to the head of the city.
The general in his armband was gloomy, with a sharp mouth and a goatee. He was a man of deep thought.
"What are you doing? It's just some Jiangdong troops that frighten you, don't you? " The general gave a sharp drink and held his sword on his waist.
The Marquis quickly stepped forward, bent over and said, "General Li, the Jiangdong army is just bluffing, and the nanchengmen must be solid."
It turned out that this acrimonious general was no other than Li Shu, who openly raised a flag to rebel in Lujiang.
Li Shu took a contemptuous look outside the city and said in a loud voice, "what are you afraid of? Jiang Dongjun, this is thunder, and the rain is small. "
"The governor of Danyang, Sun Yi, sun CE's younger brother, was killed. Peng Hu, commander of the Shanyue clan in Kuaiji County, joined forces with tens of thousands of soldiers. Feizhan and Zushan were ready to move. Jiang Dong's army has been on fire in the backyard for a long time now. As long as our army persists for a few days, Zhou Yu will surely withdraw his troops! "
After that, Li Shu raised his head and said, "therefore, our military affairs must stick to it for a few days. As long as these days are over, Lujiang County will be our world, and there will be rewards at that time. Do you understand?"
The Marquis nodded and bowed: "yes, yes, General Li said yes."
"Do you all hear that? As long as we hold on for a few days, the enemy will retreat without fighting. " The gatekeeper yelled to the garrison on the tower.
Seeing this reaction, Li Shu nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said, "good, Li Geng, as long as the enemy troops withdraw this time, the general will be promoted to be the commander of the garrison."
The Marquis was overjoyed and said, "will you dare not obey your orders?"
