Chapter 1120: A dilemma
Although the autumn tiger is still in full swing, after all, it is already the end of October, and there is still some coolness in the air, which makes people who are suffering from the scorching heat feel relaxed for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, this is not the case for the soldiers stationed in Mumi City.
"Were you the one who was on duty yesterday? What is your name? Looking at the messy scene under the city, and at the night team in front of him, Huo Jun's brows became tighter and tighter.
"Back to ...... Returning to General Huo, Fan Zhang, who was ......on duty last night, was on duty last night," Fan Zhang said tremblingly.
It is said that this matter should be good news at the moment, the Tang army besieging the city withdrew and left, and a catastrophe was eliminated, but who would be unhappy with the people in the city?
As a result, some people were really unhappy. When he sent someone to pass the good news to the county government that was recruited as the Chinese army, General Huo's face immediately changed greatly, and he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he went directly to the city.
Fan Zhang panicked immediately.
Because it was a good thing, when he sent someone to report the news, he spread it all the way to the past, and the good news spread all over the city like a gust of wind. To this day, the cheers in the city are still coming and going.
If he was wrong, the nature of this matter was the same as General Huo's face, wouldn't it be ......
A cool breeze blew, and Fan Zhang felt that the back of his neck was cold, full of cold sweat.
Fortunately, Huo Jun didn't get angry, and he didn't mean to hold him accountable, he just frowned and interrogated: "When did you start moving at night?" Is Tang Jun in a hurry? Was the sound you heard at the time very messy? ”
"It should be in a hurry," Fan Zhang breathed a sigh ......of relief and replied subconsciously.
He felt that Huo Jun's question was redundant, and Tang Jun was certainly in a hurry. Who would choose to rush at night if they weren't in a hurry? Besides, the abandoned camp outside the city can also explain the problem, just look at this chaos, you can imagine how hasty the Tang army left.
"Military affairs, how can such vague words be tolerated?" As soon as he heard the word "yes", Huo Jun was furious, pointed at Fan Zhang and several other officers on duty, and shouted in a loud voice, "You, and you, all give a careful review of what the situation was at that time!" ”
"Whew...... Here! Fan Zhang and the others were taken aback, and they didn't understand what kind of style General Huo was smoking. But they didn't dare to talk back, they all looked back with sad faces, but where could they say why?
You must know that since the siege of the city, the Tang army has made some trouble from time to time, and it is not once or twice that they have made a feint attack at night. Because they have eaten too many deceptions, the defenders have mastered some rules. As long as the enemy army does not set foot within 20 zhang of the city wall, they will ignore it, even if the other party pushes the well over, it is useless.
When they first discovered the abnormal movement outside the city last night, the defenders only sneered and were full of disdain when the Tang army repeated the old tricks, and it was not until after dawn that they found out that the other party was actually gone!
I didn't care about it at the time, but when I think back on the details, how can I think clearly?
The generals and soldiers didn't know why, but Zhao Lei, who joined the army, was aware, he walked to Huo Jun's side and asked in a low voice: "Zhong Miao, are you worried about ......?"
Huo Jun said hesitantly: "Li Yi is good at using strange soldiers, the world knows it, he didn't attack before, it can be said that he intends to preserve his strength, and now he suddenly withdraws from the siege, how can it not make people suspicious?" ”
Zhao Lei nodded, shook his head again, and said: "But it is also possible that His Majesty began to fight back, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the siege and deal with the imminent crisis first." ”
"That's why I'm embarrassed!" Huo Jun spread his hands and sighed, "If Your Majesty takes a defensive position, these thousands of soldiers and horses will be of little use, and if they barely fight, they will only increase casualties, so it is better to brake quietly and wait for the Tang army to attack." But if Your Majesty launches a counterattack, a certain army and horse will be of great use, and at worst, it can also contain the Tang army, and even if it is not good, it can also threaten its grain route, alas! ”
He pointed to the outside of the city and said with a wry smile: "But now, Ziji, do you think it's better to go out of the city to find fighters, or continue to hold on?" If you hold on, how long will you keep it? ”
Zhao Lei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but he was speechless for a while.
To be out or not to be out? This is a real problem.
………………
In the Tang army camp in a hidden place, in the Chinese military tent, Li Yizheng convened his military ministers to discuss.
Huo Jun, the defender of Mu Mi City, is a general with both wisdom and bravery, and Zhao Lei, who joined the army, is also a person with real talent and learning. However, they had too few cards in their hands, so they were only played by Li Yi between applause.
Li Yi looked at the generals under his command and said loudly: "Actually, I had already thought of this move at the beginning of the siege. In siege warfare, the defender occupies the geographical advantage, but the attacker occupies the initiative, whether to fight or not, when to start the war, where is the main direction of attack, are all decided by the attacker, and the defender itself is very passive. It's just that Huo Jun is different from ordinary martial artists, he uses his troops to change skillfully and is good at using the terrain, so this plan may not be able to attract him, so he doesn't use it, but it is just right now. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Zhang Fei slapped his face and praised happily, "Previously, as long as Huo Jun was determined not to go out of the city, the emperor's strategy would not work, but he tossed back and forth, breaking his own sharpness. But now it's different, he goes out of the city as a moth to fight a fire, and when he doesn't go out of the city, he paints the ground as a prison, and he is trapped in Mumi City, no matter how he chooses, it's wrong. ”
Huo Jun defended the city tightly, Li Yi refused to attack, and Zhang Fei choked a while ago. The reason for this is that Huo Jun, who stubbornly defended the city and refused to go out of the city for a decisive battle, was undoubtedly the culprit. Now that he sees Huo Jun deflated, of course he has to gloat: Guard, guard, you can't keep it this time, haha!
"The emperor is a trick because of others, even if Huo Jun has some ability to change, where can he make any waves, pitiful, lamentable." After all, Zhang Ren had been a colleague with Huo Jun, and when he saw Huo Jun's dilemma at the moment, not only did he not gloat, but he also had some sympathy for Huo Jun.
Zhang Ren thinks that Li Yi's evaluation is very fair, and Huo Jun is indeed very serious. After all, Zhang Ren and Huo Jun had been under Liu Bei for several years, although they didn't have much intersection with each other, they also knew something.
However, it was such a wise and brave person, but he was tortured by Li Yi to the point that he couldn't look like it. As long as he imagined Huo Jun sitting in the city of sorrow, Zhang Ren couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: It's difficult to go against his own emperor!
Although the overall battle situation is still unclear, Zhang Ren dares to say now that he has won this battle.
No matter how good Liu Bei is at forbearance and the use of conspiracy, he can't hide the eyes of several military advisors and the emperor's foresight; No matter how brave the generals such as Meng Huo of the Southern Barbarians were, no matter how fearful the barbarian soldiers were not afraid of death, they could not resist the strong army of the Tang Dynasty under the command of the emperor; No matter how smart Huo Jun is with his soldiers, he can't calculate the emperor.
Therefore, although the enemy is powerful, it is only a floating cloud after all, and it seems to be a large piece when it gathers, but as soon as the wind blows, it will disappear.
It's a pity that Zhou Cang and Chen Zhi don't know the current affairs, these two are good generals, if they can abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, it will be a help to the emperor, it will be difficult to say after this battle, it is a pity.
"You can't be happy too early, just like now, you shouldn't be able to trap Huo Jun." Seeing that all the generals felt that the victory was in their hands, Xu Maogong hurriedly came forward to pour cold water, and he asked Zhang Fei, "Yide, if you were Huo Jun, what would you do?" ”
"Me?" Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Of course, when the time comes, I will kill the inside and the outside...... Hey? ”
Xu Maogong smiled: "You have thought of it yourself, the timing is difficult to grasp." What if you didn't know anything? ”
Zhang Fei scratched the back of his head, and then said very simply: "Anyway, I don't know anything, waiting is death, not waiting is still death, no matter how much he cares, just choose a random day and rush out to have a good time." ”
"Fortunately, Huo Jun is different from you, otherwise the emperor would have a headache." Xu Maogong shook his fingers, squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Then look at who we are!" Zhang Fei knew that he was not good at strategy, but he also knew that Xu Maogong was joking with himself, but he was not annoyed, and took advantage of the situation to put on a triumphant appearance, which caused the generals to laugh for a while.
"What about you?" After the laughter stopped, Xu Maogong turned to Xu Huang again.
Xu Huang was thinking about this question when Xu Maogong asked Zhang Fei, and after a little hesitation, he said in a deep voice: "If so...... I should wait and see for a while before I try it. ”
"How to tempt?" Xu Maogong asked.
Xu Huang replied very fluently: "Since it is a small number of light cavalry blocking the road, a large force will be dispatched to eliminate the interference of the rangers, even if it is ambushed by a large group of soldiers and horses, or even the entire army is annihilated, you can judge the enemy's layout accordingly, and then make plans." ”
"Fire reconnaissance......" Hearing this, Li Yi suddenly nodded.
Insufficient intelligence, obtaining intelligence through combat is also one of the commonly used military means, but the cost is a little higher, but since it is used at a critical moment, it can't take care of so much.
Xu Maogong paused slightly, and then asked Xu Huang: "Then how should our army respond?" ”
"It's hard to say." Xu Huang muttered, "The key depends on what Huo Jun thinks, how many people are sent, if there are many people, then there is no need to think about it, mobilize an army to kill it, even if he sees through the plan and suffers heavy losses, he has nothing to do." If there is a small number of men and horses, and they can't stop the rangers from intercepting and killing, they can only send a medium-sized force. In this way, it will be difficult for our army to cope. ”
Zhang Fei asked strangely, "How can it be difficult to deal with?" Mobilize troops to besiege and kill. Even if Huo Jun knew that the main force of our army was not far away, and designed to deceive him, would he dare to attack the whole army? Liu Bei's counterattack is just what you said, and now there is no sign of it, what is the use of Huo Jun going out of the city? ”
"Yide's words are wrong." Xu Maogong shook his head and pointed to the trick, "Huo Jun was surrounded, it was originally an accident, Liu Bei could not have expected it in advance, and now that he has contacted Nanban and intends to counterattack, it is impossible to think about it in advance." So. As long as Dianchi City is contacted, Huo Jun's army can become a surprise soldier and play an important role. ”
