Volume 3 Chapter 371 Soldiers Do Not Tire of Deception (3)

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The most important thing for your side now is to hurry up and farm the fields, if you can't even support yourself, what will you use to fight your enemies? ”

Lu Ren's words made the caste revolutionary army's Ah San lose their temper. In fact, before this, the caste revolutionary army really regarded Lu Ren as the wronged leader, but this also had a lot to do with Lu Ren's need for the caste revolutionary army to cause chaos to the large and small city-states on the Indian Peninsula at the beginning, so at that time, Lu Ren was responsive to the caste revolutionary army.

However, after the situation developed to a certain extent, Lu Renke was not so easy to speak, after all, for the caste revolutionary army, Lu Ren's most fundamental purpose was to use it, and he was by no means so kind to help them achieve caste liberation. To put it mildly, Lu Ren said quite unwelcome to Ah San in his heart.

In addition, there is another advantage of "habitually" being caste revolutionary army in the early stage, that is, this gang of people has formed a kind of dependence on Lu Ren, and then when necessary, Lu Ren plays with blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes, so that this gang of people can immediately understand who is the boss...... Well, to put it bluntly, Lu Ren is playing economic control, using this means to make these people obedient.

In fact, there have been several cases where the caste revolutionary army did not listen to Lu Ren's orders after gaining power, and Lu Ren's method of dealing with it was very simple, that is, he interrupted the supply of military supplies to the caste revolutionary army, and the result was that the caste revolutionary army almost collapsed. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Ren still had a place to use the caste revolutionary army, and the ban was lifted when it was almost over, then the current caste revolutionary army might have been in civil strife long ago.

All in all, after tossing and turning a few times, although the caste revolutionary army could not be said to be close to Lu Ren, they did not dare to go against Lu Ren's wishes too blatantly. As for a little bit of yang and yin, stealing chickens and touching dogs, Lu Ren didn't bother to care too much, as long as you don't add any chaos to Lao Tzu in the general direction.

Of course, Lu Ren would not make his image so "evil", so he talked about the benefits of farming to the caste revolutionary army, and repeatedly warned the caste revolutionary army that if you want to complete your caste liberation, the first condition must be that everyone has something to eat......

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this kind of statement, but Lu Ren's deeper intention is that you caste revolutionary army don't think about fighting all day long, and do a good job of production when it's time to do it, otherwise how will Lao Tzu take back the money invested in you when the time comes? In fact, many things produced in India are very useful to Lu Ren, but if it is a caste revolutionary army, such a way of fighting will only turn into a situation of reckless military force, and in the end, will it become an ending where Lu Ren pays money to help them fight, and then has to pay for development? But after that kind of situation, how can the labor problem be solved?

There is no longer much talk about this matter, anyway, Lu Ren let the caste revolutionary army be honest. And at the end, Lu Ren also added: "As I said just now, I, Lu Ren, have never wanted to kill innocents indiscriminately, so before the official attack on Nagopur, I had used various methods to let the people of the Kalikhit area flee first. And as far as I know, there are quite a few civilians who have fled south and east to the territory of your caste revolutionary army, and you must be prepared to accept these refugees. Therefore, you must also hurry up the wasteland now, so as not to make it impossible to accommodate these fleeing civilians by then. ”

When the representatives of the caste revolutionary army heard this, they naturally hurriedly agreed, and Lu Ren was relieved when he saw these people nodding.

To tell the truth, the expulsion of the people in the Kalikhit area is certainly due to Lu Ren's unwillingness to kill innocent people, but from a strategic point of view, it is also using these fleeing people to slow down the pace of the caste revolutionary army, so that they will be busy rehousing the fleeing people during Lu Ren's capture of Kalihet and have no time to take care of it.

In a word, at this point, Lu Ren's preparations for capturing Kaliheit have been fully completed, and the next thing is to get rid of Nagopur.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When Lu Ren was in Yangon, he had already fought several battles on Kalihat's side. But to be honest, the scale of these battles is not large, at least the troops dispatched by Lu Ren are very small, and the number of soldiers in several battles has not exceeded three thousand, and they always fight, and they will withdraw immediately after taking advantage of enough.

In fact, it is not difficult for Lu Ren to take Caliheit, the difficulty is that Lu Ren's follow-up main force cannot be transferred to Caliheit in a short period of time, and the other is that the caste revolutionary army cannot be allowed to intervene in Kallihet, so Lu Ren is thinking about how to reduce the losses as much as possible and make it impossible for the caste revolutionary army to get involved.

According to Lu Ren's thoughts, Zhou Yu suggested that Lu Ren keep scaring Kalihet, specifically to make Kaliheit panic first, and then drive the fleeing people to the caste revolutionary army. As for Nagodour's army, scaring them half to death first, and then fighting them again will reduce a lot of resistance, but it may take a little more time to do so.

Lu Ren has no objection to this, after all, Zhou Yu's suggestion is very much in line with Lu Ren's current situation. Anyway, if you calculate the itinerary, it will take some time for the Palews period to return to Rome, and Hermes is being abused by Lu Ren here in Yangon...... Well, it's a bit of a stretch, anyway, the matter of persuading the Roman side not to make a temporary truce with Sabbath was not resolved so quickly, and Lu Ren still has some time to squander, so it doesn't matter if he spends some time getting rid of Calihet.

However, although the scale of these battles was not large, it really scared Nagopur. You must know that in this operation, Zhou Yu took the initiative to take over the task of fighting on land, and the five thousand Jiangdong children brought out by Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang from Jiangdong have all been trained into elite soldiers by this time, and at the same time, in terms of weapons and equipment, Lu Ren has not been stingy with Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang, so in terms of combat effectiveness, it is remarkable. On the other hand, Nagopur's 30,000 troops...... Alas, don't say it! Again, if Lu Ren didn't want to cause too many losses, so that there would be a vacuum period of insufficient troops on the Kaliheit and Ceylon fronts, then it would not be difficult to bite Nagopur.

In short, after a few small battles, a large number of deserters appeared in Nagopur's troops. And Nagopur was also in a hurry, on the one hand, he was hurrying to strengthen the garrison of the castle, and on the other hand, he hurriedly sent an envoy again to express his willingness to surrender and surrender to Lu Ren.

But it can only be said that this guy still doesn't give up on the matter of the territory, although this surrender application expresses his willingness to give Lu Ren more wealth and beauties or something, but he still refuses to let go of the matter of wanting to keep the territory of Kaliheit, so that Lu Ren said to himself when he received the telegram from Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang, is this guy stupid? The situation is so clear, why are you still dreaming of spring and autumn?

In fact, Lu Ren thought about letting him live if Nago Pulken surrendered unconditionally, after all, if he really forced the dog to be in a hurry, it would be troublesome to force him to jump over the wall and bite people. But Lu Ren didn't expect this guy...... Should it be said to be obsessive or should it be said to be naΓ―ve? Anyway, there's nothing to say, hit!!

Zhou Yu had already guessed that this would be such a result, so he was always in a hurry to Nagopur and did not give Nagopur the slightest respite. However, although it is pressed very tightly, it is still mainly based on "fraud". Not for anything else, Zhou Yu didn't want to joke with the lives of Jiangdong's disciples, and although Nagopur's 30,000 troops had escaped a lot, the main ones who fled were the recruits recruited by Nagopur in the near future, and the original backbone of Nagopur was still there. If you hit hard, it's not wise.

So, Zhou Yu played a series of tricks, almost played the thirty-six strategies, and really tossed Nagopur enough. Originally, he had a backbone team of about 8,000 people, but after Zhou Yu's tossing, more than 3,000 were lost. The loss of troops is actually a small matter, and the key issue is that the blow to morale is really not small. And Zhou Yu's purpose is to break the opponent's fighting spirit from the aspect of morale, and then take Calihat with the least loss.

So far, Nagopur still has a total of more than 10,000 troops, and all of them have retreated into the castle, and they will not come out no matter what, which makes Zhou Yu a little helpless to take Nagopur in a short period of time. After all, Zhou Yu has so many troops, it is impossible to fight a tough battle like siege warfare.

After thinking about it, he took a telegram and asked Lu Ren what he meant, and Lu Ren called back and said that he could contain Nagopur first, his hands here were about to be freed, and it would not be long before the vanguard of about 8,000 people would be transferred to Kalihet.

After receiving such an answer, Zhou Yu did not press Nagodpur anymore, but instead transferred the troops back to the seashore and built a water village relying on the wharf. Nagopur was worried that he would fall for Zhou Yu's plan again, so he still shrank in his castle and couldn't come out. So at this time, there was a temporary ceasefire here in Kalihet, but no one knew when the battle would start again.

The days when there was no war were very peaceful, and on this day, Zhou Yu looked at the direction of Nagodpur Castle on the deck after completing tasks such as vigilance and daily training. When Sun Shangxiang handed Zhou Yu a glass of juice (no alcohol is allowed during the battle), he noticed that Zhou Yu's expression seemed to be a little wrong, so he asked, "Brother Zhong, what are you thinking?" Are you wondering how to take the castle? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head: "It's not difficult to capture that city, but if you do that, you will lose a lot of disciples, and some of them are not cost-effective." Anyway, Lu Nanhai's main force is about to drive over, just take the city in one go. ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu also smiled at Sun Shangxiang: "Sometimes, we always have to save some face for Lu Nanhai and them, don't we?" ”

Sun Shangxiang shrugged his shoulders. This kind of thing actually involves some sensitive issues, but Zhou Yu didn't say it explicitly, while Sun Shangxiang understood it in his heart but didn't say it. Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with everyone pretending to be confused.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yu frowned again: "But I always feel a little uneasy, and at the same time, I feel that there seems to be something wrong, but I can't tell where this uneasiness comes from." ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Brother Zhong is not worried about anything? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head again: "Didn't I just say that I couldn't figure out where it came from?" Thinking about it, it seems like I've been ignoring something. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't say it clearly, so Sun Shangxiang naturally couldn't help with anything. At the moment, he pursed his lips, followed Zhou Yu's gaze and looked in the direction where Nagopur Castle was located, and suddenly asked, "Brother Zhong, do you say that it makes sense for Nagopur to defend like this?" His current situation is actually trapped in a lonely city, if there is no foreign aid, it can only be a dead end, and we are not attacking the city now because we don't want to have more senseless losses, as long as this guy is not too stupid, he should also know that if he continues to defend like this, it is nothing more than a matter of dying a few days late, it is better to surrender according to the meaning of landing in Nanhai, no matter what Lu Nanhai says, he can leave him a way to live. ”

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently: "He seems to be the only stupid but persistent person in the world, right?" Maybe he thought that if we couldn't take the city, sooner or later there would be a day when the army would retreat? Hey, wait, foreign aid? ”

People often get stuck in a bottleneck, and then they will be suddenly woken up by a word from others at some point, and the current Zhou Yu is in such a situation. However, when Sun Shangxiang saw that Zhou Yu had a reaction to the word "foreign aid", he shook his head at Zhou Yu and said, "How can there be any foreign aid in Nagopur?" Didn't we catch some people before and ask them about Nagodpur's desire to unite with the other city-states, but those city-states ignored him? The lords of the city-states were selfish and short-sighted, and they were all thinking about how to preserve their strength and ignore others, and it was strange that they would come to the rescue of Nagodpur...... Brother Zhong, it seems that you yourself said this before, right? ”

Zhou Yu smiled dumbly: "It's true that I said it before, even if you ask me now, I will still say it." And Shang Xiang, do you know, it's not that I deliberately look down on those city-state lords, but they are worried about the threat from the caste revolutionary army, so none of them dare to transfer the troops at hand to help others fight at this time. So, Nagopur is a wretched creature without foreign aid......"

At this point, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something, and the person immediately turned around and looked in the northwest direction. Sun Shangxiang didn't understand what he meant, so he could only follow Zhou Yu and look over. After looking at Zhou Yu a few more times, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then said to Sun Shangxiang: "Quickly go and arrange a cruising ship and cruise the waterway in terms of rest!" ”

Sun Shangxiang was puzzled: "The channel of cruising and resting? But there was nothing more than a little disturbance at the beginning of the Battle of Rangoon! Didn't Lu Nanhai say rest in peace, was this dragged down by the Roman side? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." Moreover, Nagopur blindly defended like this, knowing that he was invincible, but he did not show any movement to escape, which is too much to say for a person who is actually greedy for life and afraid of death......"
