Chapter 717 If you can't keep it, you will be destroyed
Because of the psychological preparation for the loss of the fire, a large number of flammable materials were placed in the city early in the morning, and the fire spread very quickly, and there was no chance to extinguish it.
Seeing that the city was broken, Rahul's face had improved after being dark for several days, and he thought that the defenders would act like this, so he gritted his teeth in anger and ordered the army to besiege and burn the remnants of Ge desperately.
Fortunately, Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen were on the side at any time to respond, so that the besieged burner was killed, but the price paid was also very great, and the more than 10,000 troops defending the city were only a few people who stood out.
Yan Ge and the others were killed, Yan Da did not stay long, got rid of the entanglement of the Guishan army, and immediately led the seventeen cavalry of the headquarters to rush back to Hanyang Yicheng.
Rahul looked at the city in front of him, which was already half a sea of fire, his face cloudy, on the verge of exploding.
The commanders of the encirclement and suppression of the enemy army gathered one after another at this time, and when they saw Rahul's expression, they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being provoked.
Although Rahul had seen the city, he had long been aware of these arriving commanders, and seeing their expressions, he knew that he must have let the defenders break through, but it was rare that he did not get angry.
"Collect the troops and return the account."
Rahul simply left a sentence and pulled the horse away, so that the crowd was relieved and hurriedly patted the horse to follow.
When he came to the big tent, Rahul asked for the opinions of the people in a rare way, and asked them to come up with a solution to the problem at hand.
But in the current situation, these people dare to say more, if one of them is not good, and provokes Rahul to get angry, his life will definitely be lost.
Seeing that these people didn't say a word, Rahul's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said by name: "Wu Yisheng, tell me what you think?" β
Wu Yisheng, who was named, couldn't help but tremble his legs, and he didn't understand why he chose himself with so many higher positions than him around him.
But he has been named, and it is useless to think so much, Wu Yisheng replied cautiously: "Honorable commander, my subordinates think that we can't attack only a little bit alone, we should attack from multiple sides, and we can find the flaws of the enemy army." β
Attacking more points is to find more opportunities, but at the same time, it is also faced with the possibility of being broken one by one, and there may be things that do not obey the command and act privately.
Rahul's face did not change, and he continued to ask another person: "Baichuan Gui, tell me what you think?" β
Baichuan Gui is a metropolitan commander, even if he is Rahul's henchman, his ability is also strong, but he is more benevolent, which is contrary to some of Rahul's practices, so he is always hot and cold.
Hearing the roll call, Bai Chuangui replied: "Honorable commander, it is the best choice at present to disperse the attack, but for the sake of unified scheduling, the commander should sit in the middle of the scattered soldiers and horses." β
"And each division is separated from each other, so that when surrounded by enemy troops, it can hold on to the distance of the arrival of reinforcements, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
It is a matter of course to make a contingency when the attack is blocked, and the proposal of Baichuan Gui is the best policy, and it is also in line with Rahul's thoughts.
"Well, since they all intend to divide their troops, that's fine." Rahul nodded slightly, still with that black face on his face, so that it was impossible to see what he was thinking.
After a pause, Rahul continued: "But Ben Shuai still has a way, if you want to send someone to the enemy army to surrender, Wu Yisheng, this matter will be handed over to you." β
Hearing that Rahul kissed himself, Wu Yisheng was depressed to death, and he didn't understand what he had done wrong, and he was always worried.
I didn't have time to complain in my heart, Wu Yisheng asked: "Honorable commander, persuade the enemy army to surrender, and promise heavy benefits, I don't know what my subordinates can promise the other party?" β
Rahul's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a little thought, he said, "Give him what he wants, but not so happily." β
From Rahul's words, Wu Yisheng already understood, knew that he wanted to use the usual strategy, and he also had a bottom in his heart.
"Yes, my subordinates already know how to do it."
Next, Rahul arranged the direction of attack of each army, and asked them to perform their duties to mobilize the army and attack several counties such as Hanyang, Longxi, Youfufeng, and Beidi, while he himself chose the center of the army to advance slowly, and strictly controlled the army's food.
Soldiers and horses are far away from their home countries to fight, food is collected locally, escorted to follow the rear of the army, and heavily guarded, so there are almost no problems.
Rahul knew that if he wanted to ensure that the scattered soldiers and horses would not rebel, it was necessary to curb their rations and make them weak.
As for the lack of food that is blocked, it is impossible to happen at present, and Rahul has savagely collected a lot of food along the way, which can be eaten by the army for a year and a half.
The complete loss of stability was expected by Jia Xu, so he did not panic, as for the opening of the stability gap, it would cause disaster to Sili and other places, then it was not Jia Xu to worry about, anyway, he had done his duty, and Zhong Xuan did not have a headache, so it was not clear.
Yicheng, Yao Ge and others arrived, Jia Xu began to set up defenses, preparing for the coming siege battle, but he did not wait for the enemy to press the border, and did wait for Wu Yisheng, who carried a heavy gift.
Jia Xu just didn't know the inside of the enemy army, and at this time, Wu Yisheng sent him to the door, so he naturally wanted to meet with him.
As the owner's family, Jia Xu ordered the people to hold a banquet, and selected swordsmanship masters from the army, and danced swords to increase the atmosphere.
Looking at the two soldiers in the middle who were fighting each other's swordsmanship, Wu Yisheng felt uneasy, and even the wine and food in front of him felt difficult to swallow.
In order to complete the task and leave as soon as possible, Wu Yisheng opened his mouth and said: "Honorable Lord Jia, Wu Yisheng came to recruit Lord Jia on the orders of the commander. β
When Jia Xu heard the words of the translator, he said expressionlessly: "You have invaded my Han land and slaughtered my Han people, and now you have come to persuade you to surrender, do you think it is possible?" β
As the translator said Jia Xu's original words word by word, Wu Yisheng had already felt a hint of taste, that is, Jia Xu said this without much emotion, so it may be a high-sounding excuse to add weight to the follow-up opening to ask for benefits.
Wu Yisheng didn't hide it, and went straight to the point and said: "Presumably, with the status of Lord Jia, he will not choose to risk his life for those insignificant people." β
"Don't be afraid to tell Lord Jia that our army has four or five hundred thousand elite soldiers, and our country is not smaller than the Han Dynasty, as long as Lord Jia is willing to surrender, the commander can protect Lord Jia's high-ranking officials."
"Sss Jia Xu took a breath and asked with a little heart: "The army of four or five hundred thousand is indeed good, but it can be far away from the expedition in another country, and there is no foundation." β
"If you are defeated, I am afraid that you will be defeated all the way, and Lord Ben does not want to follow you back to a foreign country."
"Hahaha." Wu Yisheng laughed and said: "The commander has long thought of this, those places that have been captured, there are support regimes, and there are soldiers and horses to guard, Lord Jia can rest assured." β
"Besides, your Han Dynasty is in a melee, who can resist the commander's army, although Lord Jia said that he gained for a while, he was just the commander and underestimated the enemy."
