Chapter 106: Calculation
He returned to the camp and was furious: "Where did this rebel learn these intrigues? Why haven't I heard of anything yet? β
It's no wonder that the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty never had a big war with Burma, the only time Wu Sangui sent troops, or symbolically fought in the field, Myanmar just felt that Wu Sangui's artillery was powerful, but this place was raining constantly, and the shells could not be stored at all, and the Ming and Qing dynasties did not mean to attack Burma, so Burma did not start to purchase artillery, nor did it use artillery as the main weapon.
But they have never seen this strange way of defending the city, in the past they defended the city is to release arrows from afar, push the ladder at close range, and fight hand-to-hand if they can't push down, anyway, generally speaking, the victory or defeat between them, whether it is the siege or the general who defends the city, is basically clear before the battle.
But this time it was surprisingly not smooth, not only did those guards not have the consciousness of surrendering, but those who were soldiers also fought fiercely, could it be said that they were all stupid?
Just when he was puzzled, the following casualty statistics had already been sent: "General Qiyu, we have 800 casualties today. β
"What did you say?"
"Eight hundred casualties, and γγγγγγ Moreover, many of our brothers who were burned were covered in fever, and the doctor said that they could not save their lives. β
Fu Yu stretched out his hand and slapped the table, and stood up suddenly, he almost couldn't help but kill people, these 5,000 people were made up by him, but not all of them were his own people, there were various forces in the city who were stuffed in to make meritorious contributions.
Everyone knows that counterinsurgency is a good way to get promoted quickly, so he photographed the young man of his family into the big tent of the Chinese army, and then stuffed it into one or two hundred servants, and the heads of these people are all counted as these young masters.
The real army under Fu Yu's command is only 2,000 people, if he really kills all the servants and only conquers this small city, I am afraid that those people will not support him to send troops next time, and his ability will be seriously questioned.
Therefore, the ideal number of casualties in his mind was only a hundred, and in his opinion, when he ran towards the city gate, some people would die, and as long as they reached the city gate, the people above would definitely surrender without a fight.
But he didn't expect things to be like this, his face was gloomy, he was thinking about how to explain to those people when he went back, and how to recover the city at the lowest cost.
Now there were only a few of his henchmen left in his tent, so he said lightly: "Our losses are too great, and it is difficult to explain them after we go back, do you have any good solutions?" β
It's not a big problem to have 800 people die now, and no one will embarrass him for these 800 people, but what if 800 people die tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
A master stood up: "My subordinates don't know whether to say something or not." β
"What are you doing with so much red tape at this time, hurry up."
"Does the general feel that something is wrong with this group of people inside?"
Fu Yu glanced at him with a murderous gaze: "If there is a fart, let it go!" β
The man hurriedly put away his pretending to be profound, for fear that he would be pushed out and cut in the next second: "Don't say that this city is full of deserters, even if Udilon comes alive and brings people here in person, can they beat us?" β
Fu Yu nodded: "The defenders of a small city, no matter how powerful they are, they can't beat usγγγγγγ At this point, his eyes lit up: "You mean there are other people?" β
"That's right, there must be someone else behind this, and even his subordinates suspect that Wu Sangui is manipulating, do other people have such powerful means?"
"If that's the case, I have to report to the king quickly and ask him to increase his troops, and then this casualty can't be counted as mine, after all, it's Wu Sangui's people."
"Oh, General, haven't you thought of anything else?"
"What have you thought about?"
"Why did Wu Sangui beat us?"
After the gluttony, his heart was cold: "You mean that the Manchu Qing are going to do something to us?" β
"That's right, the emperor of the previous Ming Dynasty came to defect to the first king, we have been a subject of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and the rewards are very generous every year, but how do we treat the Ming Dynasty? It's not that they killed their ministers completely, and then arrested their emperor and sent them over, who can rest assured that a subject country like ours is assured? β
Fu Yu gasped: "But the intelligence clearly says that there is a fierce battle on the Central Plainsγγγγγγ β
"Oh, King, where did our news come from? It's not from the mouth of the Han people, these Han people are all their people. β
"What do you say?"
"I think that although the thunder is loud on the side of Mubang City, there may not be any real strength, I heard that the battle report has wiped out the two groups of men and horses, and this side is likely to be their center of gravity, after all, this road is much easier to walk than the mountain road over there, and it is easier to march."
"Oh, don't talk about these useless things, what the hell are we going to do?"
"Let's go over there to suppress the bandits, let's just say that we received an order halfway, Meng Guangcheng has rebelled, let's go over there, when the time comes, these people will always be passed to the royal capital, there are three elite troops around the king, they will clean up this group, or γγγγγγ"
This master didn't say anything further, Fu Yu had already understood, or the king was slaughtered by them, and they set up a new king, and then the new forces were divided, and with this force in his hand, he would definitely be able to rank a position in front of those people, and then he would really become a big force in the court.
Fu Yu thought about it, and suddenly sneered: "Come on, push this Wu Liang down for me, lock him up, and choose a good day to kill the sacrificial flag." β
Everyone was frightened, no one dared to speak loudly, although they knew that Wu Liang was punishing the heart, but Myanmar is not the Ming Dynasty, it is not Confucian governance at all, where is there any loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, wisdom and faith, the king did not kill his own brother to become the king? This was originally a private meeting of the general, and it was not a big deal to talk about it.
Fu Yu sneered and looked at the people around him: "This Wu Liang, who has been in the mansion for ten years, has always been cautious, and I have never found out his details, but now he suddenly appeared, I suspect that he is a spy over there?" Tell me if you have any other good ideas? β
As soon as the others heard it, Wu Liang's analysis was reasonable, you were going to cut off someone's head, if they were talking nonsense, they wouldn't be cut off on the spot? So they didn't say a word, waiting for Fu Yu to make up his mind in person.
Fu Fu snorted coldly: "I raised you people for nothing." Usually, they talk one by one, for fear of falling behind others, why don't they speak now? At a critical time, General Ben has to make up his own mind! β
