Chapter 580: Chen Ji is in need
Seeing that Murong Diao did not respond, He Jing continued: "I watched the enemy formation, and it was indeed as Chen Zhi expected, there was a clear distinction between Yuwen and Duanbu, and there was Goguryeo wandering outside, or there was something to do, so it was better to follow the plan, it was too late, wait for Wang Jun's soldiers and horses to come, and the general trend will go!" ”
Murong Diao was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "It's not that I don't want to follow it, I can't hide it, Chen Taishou's plan coincides with my original plan, but compared to my plan, it is more specific, meticulous, and clearer, so as to facilitate the implementation, many previous layouts and battles are also for the smooth implementation of this plan, but this person is not plain and kind, but has a plan, and acts according to his plan, then he will definitely send someone to come to the door afterwards, let me act according to you and his promise, I am Shan Yu, It's always hard to deny. ”
He Jing didn't seem to hear the next few sentences, but said: "I also know the intention of Da Shan Yu, Shan Yu led the troops with the sons and generals, attacked more Duan and omitted Yuwen, broke the enemy's baggage, and chose more Goguryeo things, which is to release the Xianbei people, and it is also paving the way for this matter." ”
"Or you can see clearly, many generals can't see through the situation," Murong Diao nodded in praise, and also skipped the previous topic, "In fact, after attacking Goguryeo, the frequent supply is also the least important because the clan pays the least attention to it, and it is not valued by the other three parties, and there is not much support, so it can be successfully succeeded." ”
He Jing said: "Since this is the case, the subordinates feel that this foreshadowing is almost over, and they can do it, but if it is late, there will be changes, Wang Jun's army will not know when it will come, and now among the coalition forces, there are already suspicions, and they can be broken in one go, if they continue to delay, when Wang Jun's soldiers come, their morale will be greatly boosted, and many of the previous plans will also be suppressed." ”
When he said this, seeing that there was a trace of hesitation and hesitation on Murong Diao's face, he continued: "Today, the city has been besieged for many days, and I, Murong with the strength of one clan, and the resistance of the four coalition forces, not only do not fall behind, but can still lead the army to rush into battle, win and lose with the enemy, and confront it, this kind of combat power can be called the first in the Northeast and outside the Saiwai!" But just not for a long time, the previous few victories, so that the floating heart in the city has been stabilized, but if it lasts too long, then there will be a resurgence, but the hearts of the people in the city can still be stable, but the hearts of the generals have doubts, the big order is to wait for the best time, but the other generals may not be able to calm down. ”
Murong Diao listened, and couldn't help nodding secretly, how could he not know this truth, when he was discussing with everyone just now, he found that many people were already a little impetuous, or that they were becoming more and more worried about being besieged.
This is also normal, no matter how much the Murong Department wins, repels the offensive of the coalition forces, and maintains the city wall from falling, it still does not change the general trend of being besieged.
The enemy army outside can be constantly repelled and defeated, even if it is three, four, or ten times, but there is still no need to worry about being defeated, but the Murong Department in the city, as long as it does not hold it once, it will be completely defeated, so the successive victories of the Murong Department, in addition to bringing spiritual comfort to everyone, so that the people in the city are in high spirits, and will not collapse and chaos, the biggest effect is probably to make the enemy troops outside the city more and more impetuous.
But as the generals who led the troops, the generals of the Murong Department realized that although the Murong Department won several shock battles, they also lost men and horses, even if they were less than the enemy, but how many people and horses did the enemy have?
Close to 150,000 people!
How many people are there in the Murong Department?
Even after all the soldiers and horses from all over the country are concentrated, even counting the middle-aged clansmen in the city, there are less than 40,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is not guaranteed.
The real elite soldiers, the soldiers and horses that can defeat the enemy, are only about 10,000.
10,000 against 150,000, even if one for ten, it can't be consumed, not to mention that it is also a Xianbei clan, even if the combat power of the Murong Department is higher, it will not reach the point of one against ten, and it is already a very amazing combat power to be able to exchange one for three and one for four.
But this has also caused a big problem, that is, the Murong Department has been winning, but the number is getting smaller and smaller, and the strength is getting weaker and weaker, even if the city will not fall, but the power of the counterattack will soon disappear, and then it can only be stubborn, even if winter comes, the Murong Department will not be able to return to the sky.
These changes and developments in the general trend cannot be seen by the people in the city, but the generals who lead the army know it, so they are becoming more and more impetuous.
"In this case, the sooner you counterattack, especially before Wang Jun's men and horses are still in the future, and disintegrate the offensive of the coalition army, you can keep Thorn City, and keep Thorn City, you will keep the vitality of the tribe, and the Xianbei tribe in the coalition army will lose its will, and there is no majesty at all.
He Jing first drew a big pie, but then he spoke with the past: "In fact, the current situation is similar to the initial war, our tribe was not prepared before the war, but the war was caused in advance, so that the Yuwen Department and the Duan Department did not prepare for the war, and also delayed Wang Jun's march, otherwise when we are ready, beware of the same, Wang Jun led the troops to besiege the city directly, and we are even more unlucky, it is a step fast, step by step, and we must not hesitate now!" ”
When Murong Diao heard this, he finally made up his mind, he nodded heavily, his face showed a look of determination, and said to He Jing: "Okay, you go and gather the generals again, and I will explain this matter to them!" ”
When the Murong generals came to the council hall again, their faces were still full of doubts and puzzlement, because they had not been long after they left, they were called back again, if there was anything to say, shouldn't Murong Diao make it clear just now?
However, when everyone gathered and listened to Murong Diao's words, their hearts were shaken, and they left all other thoughts behind.
"I have decided to completely disintegrate the offensive of the coalition forces, you all lead the troops and horses, and when I give the order, I will lead the army to attack, drive the enemy away, and relieve the siege of the Great Thorn!"
A simple sentence made many generals a little unbearable, because this sentence seems simple, but the amount of information contained in it is too great.
Some generals asked tentatively: "Da Danyu, could it be that reinforcements are coming?" ”
Murong Diao shook his head.
Suddenly, someone couldn't help but say, "How can Shan Yu have such confidence?" ”
Murong Diao followed the sound and saw the person who spoke, and a thought arose in his heart.
This person's name is Xueyang Jima, not a member of his Murong family, but one of several coalition ruling families, the previous few discussions, he has spoken, and most of the questions are key strategies, there is nothing originally, but now when I hear it, I Murong Diao's heart, I don't know how, I have a trace of vigilance.
However, Murong Diao remained silent on the surface, and said with a smile: "Didn't I analyze the current battle situation with you before the war?" With the three strategies of that Chen Taishou as a basis, has there been any discrepancies in the current battle situation outside the city? ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
Indeed, there is really not much difference between the current development of the battle situation and the initial decision, which is one of the reasons why everyone has been able to persist until now.
"When the plan was made, there was this consideration, and now is the time to implement the plan!"
The scholar Jima asked, "I don't know how to do this?" But if we want to concentrate our forces, break out, and then come back to fight the enemy, or develop in other places, anyway, we are always moving, so why defend a city? We're not from the Central Plains! "He's clearly asking, but he's actually making a suggestion, trying to come up with a strategy.
Murong Diao shook his head and said: "The enemy army seems to be powerful, but it belongs to four families, but in fact, they are not aligned, each of them is contained, even the cavalry led by my son is cruising outside, they can't annihilate it, this is where the breakthrough point is, the generals guard their own soldiers and horses, wait for my order, I will not let you down!" ”
He said firmly, but did not say specific measures, and everyone would inevitably be skeptical, but when they thought of the pre-war plan, they couldn't help but have a little more confidence.
As soon as the others left, Murong Diao found He Jing again and said: "Among my subordinates, there must be someone who is secretly communicating with the outside of the city, so it is better to plan and let this inner ghost spread a message to help make things happen, and it can also make up for the lack of preparation." ”
When he heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled, and said that he was very good.
Murong Diao then said: "Then let's follow Chen Zhi's plan, the clothes of the soldiers in Wang Jun's army have been confiscated a lot these days, you can choose a few pieces, let people wash them, and then use them." ”
He Jing shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not beautiful, now those Wang Jun soldiers and horses outside the city are just pioneers, and most of them are different in clothing, in case they are seen by people who know how to do it, they will find flaws, fortunately, when Chen Taishou was making a plan, he arranged some clothes and let me bring them back in a carriage, many of which are dressed up by Wang Jun's own soldiers, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake!" ”
"This Chen Taishou is really extraordinary, if he can be an alliance with him, he may really be able to dominate one side in the future!" Murong Diao couldn't help but praise.
But He Jing shook his head and said: "That Taishou said when he had three strategies with me, these three strategies are used by my Murong Department to protect myself, if he Murong enters the Central Plains in the future, not only will he not help, but he will also lead the troops to attack!" I'm afraid it won't be easy to form an alliance with this person, and strictly speaking, these three strategies are what I begged for, and for this reason, I also gave Chen Zhi some promises, and I have mentioned them to you before, and those requirements ......"
Murong Diao nodded and admitted: "Some of his requirements are indeed quite harsh, and they involve some livelihood matters of the clan, but if you can't keep the clan, then everything is negotiable, as long as you survive, it is all negotiable, don't worry, I also understand the importance of promises." ”
When He Jing heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
That night, the scouts of the coalition army outside the city suddenly found a small group of people and horses, coming out of the bamboo forest in the south of the city, and saw that the pretense was Wang Jun's soldiers and horses, but this group of people went straight to the south gate of Thorn City without concealment, and there was no obstruction along the way-
In the past few days, there have been archers on the city wall, but anyone who wants to approach will be shot back by random arrows, but this time the small group of men and horses, not only was not shot back, but they arrived at the city gate in such a grand manner, and quickly stepped into it in a gap where the gate opened!
