Chapter 933: Strategic Retreat
The next day, Zhao Feng received a document from Lu Ji, saying that he had taken over Nanpi's defense.
Lu Ji was appointed by Xia Zhu, the commander of the other female soldiers.
Of course, this is only a temporary appointment, and Zhao Feng has not yet issued a formal appointment document.
Because Zhao Feng has no suitable candidates for female generals, and second, there are no familiar historical figures.
So I had to let Xia Zhu dig it by himself.
To put it simply, it is to follow the normal process.
There will be no such thing as Tai Shici and Guo Jia, Zhao Feng will deliberately arrange some tasks that can get great credit to be promoted in advance.
As for Guan Hai and Xu Huang, who bring their own soldiers and horses, that is a special situation.
With Lu Ji taking over Nanpi's defense, even if Dongguang is lost, Nanpi is not an empty city and will be taken down in an instant.
In addition, Xu Huang also sent a battle report from Xiuxian, which said that if it were not for the return of 10,000 troops, Xu Huang would almost be able to storm Xiuxian.
However, now that there is a large army to help, Xu Huang can't continue to attack.
Because if you continue to attack, you will only lose more than you lose.
And Xu Huang is ready to rely on 10,000 female archers to slowly consume the defenders of Xiuxian.
Zhao Feng was adapting to Xu Huang's situation of reporting one day a day, so he didn't interfere by force.
Then.
Lu Su walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord." ”
"A man outside the battalion claimed to be a soldier sent by Captain Guo for interrogation."
"From his dictation, because he was worried that after being caught by the enemy, the enemy army would search for documents, so it was all dictated."
Zhao Feng nodded: "What did you say?" ”
Lu Su said bluntly: "The situation in the city is not good, I hope the lord can lead part of the army into the city!" ”
Then he gave a general description of the situation in the city.
To the effect that Zhang Yan had occupied Xiuxian, Chonghe, and Yangxin in Bohai County earlier.
At that time, people had already been sent to Dongguang to persuade them.
Fortunately, Zhao Feng led his troops to arrive in time, and Dongguang finally came under Zhao Feng's rule.
However, those families and Haoqiang that Zhang Yan contacted continued to contact Zhang Yan in the days that followed.
Now there are 100,000 troops besieging the city outside the city, and these families and heroes don't need to do too obvious things in the city, as long as they tell the truth about the situation outside the city.
It can make the people in the city panic.
Although Guo Jia has already said that there are more than 40,000 troops of Zhao Feng stationed outside the city.
But 40,000 against 100,000 is still a disadvantage.
Therefore, there are many in the city, and the family and Haoqiang, who were originally committed to Zhao Feng, are also persuading Guo Jia to surrender.
However, in this situation, Guo Jia can't use a tough attitude to oppress, otherwise the city gate will be broken and there will be civil strife in the city.
After Zhao Feng listened, he pondered for a while: "With Guo Jia's ability, I feel very tricky. ”
"It seems that the situation in the city is indeed not optimistic."
"Come to think of it, Guo Jia also wants to increase the confidence of the people in the city in our army through the way our army enters the city."
"Even Dongguang is like this, it seems that the situation in Gaocheng, where Zhao Yun is located, is not very optimistic!"
Then Xiang Lu Su asked, "Zijing has a good plan?" ”
Lu Su pondered for a long time: "The Black Mountain Army outside Dongguang City, although there are 90,000 people. ”
"But this 90,000-strong army is besieging Dongguang."
"The lord led an army of 40,000 and joined forces with Guo Duwei, and it was not too difficult to enter the city."
"The difficulty is that if we let too many soldiers enter the city, the number of troops who remain outside the city will be greatly reduced, which will give the Montenegrin army an opportunity."
"If we let a small number of soldiers into the city, it won't have much effect."
"According to Su, the lord should lead his troops outside the gate of Dongguang North City to fight against the Montenegrin army."
"As long as you achieve a certain victory, you can boost the morale of the city."
"When the army enters the city, it will be exempted if it can be avoided!"
After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.
Because Zhao Feng felt that Lu Su's analysis was also reasonable.
His army outside Dongguang City totaled more than 40,000 people.
It was already less than half of the Montenegrin army.
If in order to motivate the people in the city, a part of the army is allowed to enter the city, then the army that remains outside the city will only be less.
Perhaps, the Montenegrin army will come to encircle and suppress their own army outside the city.
Zhao Feng pondered for a long time: "If you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will gain all your land." ”
"As soon as we have tens of thousands of troops outside the city, there is an accident."
"Don't say that Dongguang will be lost, the entire Bohai County will be lost."
"And it will affect our defenses elsewhere."
"Tell the soldiers who came to deliver the letter, and let him tell Guo Jia that three days later, he will lead all the soldiers in the city to break through from Dongguang Beicheng."
"We will meet them outside Dongguang North City."
"In addition, after the loss of Dongguang, Gaocheng became a lonely city, and Zhao Yun was ordered to lead the army and abandon Dongcheng!"
Lu Su thought for a long time, and waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
If you want to send the news to Zhao Yun, it is not difficult.
Because the 15,000 cavalry led by Zhao Yun has been responding outside Gaocheng City.
Zhao Feng gave such an order, and there was no way to do it.
Because the people in Dongguang City are unstable, they can't integrate the forces in the city to defend themselves against the enemy.
To put it simply, Zhao Feng felt that with the current comparison of the forces of the two sides, coupled with the fact that there were some families and heroes in Dongguang City, Dongguang City would be unable to hold it sooner or later.
Another reason is that there are no generals around Zhao Feng who can charge into battle.
really fought with the Montenegrin army, and Zhao Feng couldn't take advantage of it.
Rather than this, it is better to withdraw to Nanpi.
After arriving in Nanpi, Guo Jia can lead his current headquarters, along with the defenders of Gaocheng, to garrison the city with female soldiers in Nanpi City.
In this way, the Nanpi defenders should add up to more than 20,000 people.
And Zhao Feng could lead an army of more than 40,000 and Zhao Yun's army of 15,000 to respond outside the city.
In consideration of the hearts of the people of Nanpi, at least the time to hold on will be greatly extended.
Of course, in this way, Zhao Feng originally had to face the situation of 90,000 troops, but it will turn into a situation where he will face 190,000 troops.
Although Nampi is close to the west of Bohai County, Gaocheng to Fuyang, from the map, there is still a large area.
But because there are no official roads, these areas are not suitable for large armies.
Of course, if you find people who know the way to lead the way, you can still send a small army to attack Fuyang.
It's just that Fuyang also has soldiers defending the city.
A small army to sneak attack Fuyang will not get any good results.
In addition, these places, because the roads are not familiar, are easy to be ambushed by Zhao Feng's troops.
At the same time, there is no guarantee that the people who lead the way will be sincerely leading the way, or they are ready to be framed.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, no general would be willing to take this risk.
Including Zhao Feng.
