Chapter 985: Death to Stop the War

In the gloomy castle, there was a musty smell, and Jerusha sat on a stool with her head bowed, her hands trembling slightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBefore that, who would have thought that the Gorod Heights would be so difficult to attack, more than seven thousand soldiers, plus the number of wounded, the direct loss of combat strength was close to ten thousand. A small gentle slope, tens of thousands of casualties, the tragic situation caused by the three big sluice knives is still vivid, Yelusha thought of the earth-shattering battle of Wuzhou City, how long has it been since that distressed feeling. Since he is the commander of the army, Yerusha has long been accustomed to success or failure, but this kind of tragic casualties is unacceptable to him. For the tragic death of those soldiers, he Jerusha has to bear a great responsibility, and if his plan is more perfect, if he is not so anxious, he can completely minimize the casualties. With a thud, Jerusha clenched his fists and slammed into the stool, which let out a groan of pain.

With such a large number of casualties, it will inevitably affect the next step, which is even more shameful for Jerusha. Yu Xiaochen has been guarding with everyone outside, although he finally took the Gorod Heights, but no one laughed, if you really want to talk about it, this is a lost battle. Hearing the dull sound inside, Yu Xiaochen walked in quickly with his helmet in his arms, and the castle was a little damp, only to see Yerusha curled up on the side of the table, looking a little lonely. Yu Xiaochen can feel the mood of killing all of them, who can feel good when he sees so many brothers dying in front of him, but Yu Xiaochen doesn't think it's Yerusha's fault, if you really want to talk about it, you still don't have enough understanding of the Slavs, "General, why do you blame yourself, no one would have thought that such a strange sword would appear, I believe Your Highness will not blame you." For the sake of now, I also need you to clean up your mood, there are still a large number of Slavic remnants active in Koster and Tver, if we don't take these two places, even if we occupy Gorod, we will not be safe. ”

Yu Xiaochen hoped that Yelusha could make the next plan as soon as possible, but Yerusha did not listen, he shook his head and put the information in his hand on the table, "No, tell Ren Feng those people that without the order of the general, no one is allowed to rashly attack Tver." Who dares to mess around, military law is engaged, do you hear? Yerusha glared at Yu Xiaochen without warning, he knew these young people too well, not to mention the youthful vigor, and he was stimulated in Gorod, and he was full of strength to kill the majesty of the Slavs. Jerusha thought more, and attacked for several days in a row, and his soldiers spent most of their energy, and it was difficult to support a new round of offensive. After the battle of Gorod, Jerusha didn't want any more unnecessary casualties. Yerusha sees a more long-term view, there are so many expeditionary forces, and one less dies, this is not the Central Plains, let alone a Siberian city, and there is no reinforcement. The seemingly powerful expeditionary force, once the attrition is serious and loses strong control, the entire Kipros will attack it en masse. In Kipros, the **** is an outsider after all.

Yu Xiaochen was a little incomprehensible, he widened his eyes and clenched his sword, "General, why can't you attack Tver, now the Slavs are like a flock of frightened birds, and the remnants of Tver City can't pose a threat to us at all." ”

"General Yu, don't you understand the general's orders?" Yerusha stood up, Yu Xiaochen refuted two sentences, Yerusha raised his hand and threw it directly on Yu Xiaochen's face, this time it was fast and ruthless, and Yu Xiaochen's mind was clouded, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. Yerusha looked at Yu Xiaochen coldly, his eyes were like knives, "Ben General is not joking with you, do you think that the Slavs lost Gorod and are demoralized?" Hmph, don't think about it carefully, although we defeated Gorod, but the Slavs also retreated in a very timely manner, to a certain extent, the Gorod was abandoned by the Slavs on their own initiative. In Gorod, we've come across a few strange swords, so what do you think awaits us in Tver? Or do you naively think that the Slavs were simply unprepared? That's all you say, think about it, if you insist on attacking Tver eagerly, let alone the general, even Concubine Xiao won't be able to protect you. ”

Yerusha's fierce slap was a complete awakening of Yu Xiaochen, and in the face of Yerusha's fierce gaze, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he quickly lowered his head and said in an urn, "What the general taught is that the last general is reckless." ”

"Yu Xiaochen, Ben will understand your feelings, but Ben will not want you to ruin here, go back and think about it, don't let the princess down" Waving his hand, Yelu Sha turned around with a heavy heart, Yu Xiaochen gritted his teeth and turned to leave. Outside the castle, Ren Phenol and the others were also a little stunned when they saw the clear slap marks on Yu Xiaochen's face, but no one dared to ask more. Thinking about the attack on Tver tomorrow, it seems that the general is very angry, Ren Feng is glad that it is not himself who went in, if he goes in and asks for the expedition, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the fate of being slapped.

On April 25 of the fifth year of Taikang, Zhao Yougong, Dongfang Jin and others entered Gorod Castle from Cahors. Although the news of Gorod's victory had already reached Cahors, Zhao Yougong did not know the specific circumstances of the battle, so the first thing he did after arriving at Gorod Castle was to listen to Yerusha tell him about the details. When he learned that the number of people on both sides of the enemy had lost, he couldn't help but be taken aback, especially those big swords, which reminded Zhao Yougong that this is the West, this is Kiporos, and the Slavs can rule this land for hundreds of years, and they must have their own strengths. Xiao Zhiyun didn't expect that a Gorod Heights would make her side suffer such a big loss, of course, she and Zhao Yougong would not blame Yerusha, the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and unexpected things may happen on the battlefield at any time, even if Yerusha has been on the battlefield for a long time, it is impossible to do everything, "It seems that if you want to take Tver, you must plan carefully, if you are like the Gorod Heights, I am afraid that we will suffer." ”

Dongfang Jin somewhat blamed himself, as a military advisor who planned behind him, failing to control the risk was a dereliction of duty. He was thinking about Xiao Zhiyun's words, and after a while, he spoke, "Your Highness, Princess, subordinates think that we should not directly attack Tver, judging from the situation in the Gorod Heights, the Slavs must be well prepared in the Tver area, as long as we follow the path that the Slavs have thought, it will definitely not be of any good." Since the Slavs put most of their energy on Tver, let's simply not fight Tver, and then attack Koster, which is relatively meaningless. When Koster is taken, we can also attack Vladimir by a detour, and then we can completely abandon the Gorod Heights, but we will see if the Slavs in Tver are moved. If they were tempted, we could have swept away the Slavs who had captured the Gorod Heights. If they don't move, we can continue our march towards Vladimir, in short, as long as we ignore Tver, the Slavs can't do anything about us. ”

Dongfang Jin's idea is not bad, if you make tens of thousands of traps and put tens of thousands of taels of gold, if you ignore it, then you can't do anything. However, Xiao Zhiyun frowned tightly, her mind is extraordinary, no plan is flawless, there are always flaws of one kind or another, and Dongfang Jin's plan also has huge risks, "Great official, although this plan is good, have you ever thought that if we defeat the Istrian Heights and lose the Gorod Heights, wouldn't it be a broken backroad?" ”

Zhao Yougong had a different idea, he raised his hand to signal, and said with a calm smile, "Enough, this king thinks that the big officials must have other ideas, at any time, the risk and the benefit are proportional." ”

Dongfang Jin smiled and nodded, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Zhiyun, in terms of wisdom and strategy, Xiao Zhiyun didn't lose to anyone, but she was a woman after all, and in terms of courage, there was always a difference between men. After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Jin explained unhurriedly, "Princess, you are right, but don't forget one thing, this is Kipros, many Slavs only surrender to us on the surface, and we don't know what they think in their hearts. Therefore, in this land, we can only win, and only by maintaining a victorious posture will we be safer, and in the event of defeat, Slavs will come out and take advantage of the fire anytime and anywhere. Plus if we really defeat the Istrian Heights, then what if we have Gorod, what about the Rogda hills? What about Cahors? What about Yerinburg? We cannot be defeated, and if we are defeated, any place will become our Gorod, because this is the territory of the Slavs. In that case, why worry so much, we have an absolute advantage, why should we worry about the back road, why can't we finish the battle and completely defeat the Slavs? If, in the case of absolute superiority, we still have to look ahead and look backwards, then how can we talk about conquering the West and ******** the road? ”

Xiao Zhiyun raised her eyebrows slightly, snorted coldly, and glanced at Dongfang Jin with sharp eyes, "The big officials are really full of pride, are you saying that this concubine is timid and afraid of things and has no courage?" In this case, when attacking Vladimir, let the big officials take the lead, I believe that with the pride of the big officials, they will definitely be able to beat the Slavs and obediently sacrifice the entire Istrian Heights. ”

Ga, Dongfang Jin grinned a little embarrassed, although he and Gong Zhen are both from the Ghost Valley, but he doesn't have Gong Zhen's kung fu, it is not false to say that he has no power to restrain the chicken, he ran to the front and stumbled with the Slavic beard, even if he has ten lives, it is not enough for the bearded people to cut it, "This.... The princess was angry, and her subordinates were open-mouthed, which really didn't mean that, didn't this explain it for His Royal Highness. ”

"Get out" Zhao Yougong watched it with relish, and when he heard Dongfang Jin's shameless confession, he immediately glared and was furious. Dongfang Jin was on the verge of amnesty, arched his hand and turned around and ran. When Dongfang Jin ran away, Xiao Zhiyun couldn't help but shake her head, "Official, although the big official is a little arrogant, there is some truth, as long as we deal with it properly, there is no possibility of losing this battle." Are you sure you're in such a hurry, at least for now, we're not ready for the final showdown. ”

Zhao Yougong is also thinking about these problems, at present, the soldiers and horses of the various departments are not all concentrated, although the soldiers and horses near Cahors have entered the Gorod area one after another, but these people are mainly Mongolian servant army and Slavic servant army, which seems to be a large number, but they are not up to the task at all. Especially those Slavic servants, it's okay to let them follow and fight a tailwind, once the attack is frustrated and fails, these people will definitely immediately turn against them. Just like Xiao Zhiyun said, the time for a decisive battle is not ripe, but this does not mean that Dongfang Jin's words are wrong, it is completely possible to pretend to be a decisive battle and put the remnants of the Slavic army in Tver in an embarrassing situation, "No matter what, it doesn't hurt to try, in short, we can't do the stupid thing of storming Tver." ”

"Well, since the official said so, then I'll arrange it, Sister Hai's side is a new force, and it's most appropriate for them to be responsible for attacking Koster" Xiao Zhiyun just got up, remembered something, reached out and grabbed Zhao Yougong's shoulder and twisted it vigorously, "I forgot to ask you, how did the blonde princess arrange it, you better manage her, it doesn't matter if you want to take her, but don't let her keep dangling in front of me, otherwise.... Hmph...."

Zhao Yougong's ears were cold, and he could only smile awkwardly. Xiao Zhiyun naturally doesn't have a good face for Claire, she understands Zhao Yougong's distress, but it doesn't mean that she can accept it happily. Sometimes I'm afraid of something, before Xiao Zhiyun walked out of the door, Claire ran down from the stairs with a long white dress, her long golden hair fluttering elegantly, "Your Highness, can you let Claire go outside to have a look." ”

This time, Xiao Zhiyun and Zhao Yougong said in unison, "No." Claire is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has an amazing talent for language, and she is also a devout preacher, and a few days ago, she went to the high-pet camp to spread the gospel of God. Gao Zhong and others didn't know the relationship between Claire and Zhao Yougong, and they didn't dare to refuse Claire, so in the end, Gao Chong ran to Zhao Yougong's side to sue the gang. Xiao Zhiyun saw Claire's kind and innocent big eyes, and she was angry, and reached out and poked Claire's chest, "You'd better be honest, and dare to spread the gospel of God, I'll strip you naked and throw you into the ice cellar." ”

"You are a wicked man, why do you reject God?" Claire raised her proud chin, without flinching, Xiao Zhiyun's willow eyebrows were upside down, "Your God can't save us, we believe in Bodhisattva!" ”

"What is a bodhisattva?" Claire asked very seriously, Sanniang's shoulders trembled, and she quickly pulled Claire aside. If it is half a beat slower, it is estimated that Princess Xiao will be so angry that this duke is mainly angry, and even the officials have no problem.

Sanniang also thinks that Claire is a bit unscored, you are a princess of a small country who has been captured, and it is not good to be honest, so you have to spread some God. (To be continued.) )
