Chapter 437: Enlightenment and Confusion

Not only did Baiyue continue to attack people from the battlefield in the south, but also launched sieges in the west and east? Sima Xin, who learned about this situation, unexpectedly calmed down.

If you are careless, you will suffer losses, so the commander of the army must not relax his vigilance no matter how useless the enemy army is. Sima Xin suddenly remembered that Lu Zhe had said such a sentence, he was really careless and underestimated the enemy.

The Baiyue people in the east killed and wounded the city wall, and it was difficult to counterattack due to the insufficient number of defenders. The Baiyue people in the west are also ascending the city, but they are not as fierce as the Baiyue people in the east. Sima Xin, who calmed down, immediately judged that the battlefield, whether it was due south or west, was a move used by the commander of Baiyue to disperse his forces, and only the east side was the real main direction of attack of Baiyue.

It is very important that Sima Xin did not panic, of course he was also caught off guard, but as long as he did not panic, the situation would not get out of control, after all, any plot and any surprise attack must rely on people to fight, and the combat effectiveness of the Baiyue people is like that, as long as the defenders slow down and transfer the army to fight, it is still unknowable.

"General, there are less than 3,000 defenders in the east, please send troops to rescue quickly!"

"Wait!"

The eastern city wall was about to be lost, and in the face of the general Jian yƬ quickly sent troops to rescue Sima Xin, he only said the word "wait"?

After commanding the army for a long time, especially if he has the experience of being in charge of himself, then the generals will more or less form a sense of the overall situation, Sima Xin's first reaction was also to quickly send troops up to regain the control of the city wall, but in that moment, he thought of more.

Why are they in Luo County, and why are they able to go out of the city to defeat the Baiyue people who are large but a rabble, and don't do it, isn't it to achieve Lu Zhe's arrangement of dragging the Baiyue people around Luo County?

Sima Xin has always been worried that the combat effectiveness of the Baiyue people is too poor, there are at least 50,000 Baiyue people killed in the battle in the past few days, and the injured Baiyue people must be several times more killed in battle, and he has always been worried that the Baiyue people will retreat under such a large casualty.

Before this, Sima Xin didn't quite understand why the Baiyue people couldn't win and didn't retreat at such a big price, and he kept thinking in his heart. More or less, I was also thinking that the Baiyue people must have some reason why they couldn't retreat, or what conspiracy was brewing, but he was obviously not an immortal, and it was difficult to deduce it when there was insufficient intelligence and no basis.

Now, the Baiyue people have spent so many days and so many costs in a row to pave the way, and launched a multi-faceted siege in a sudden time, Sima Xin finally understood what the Song wanted to do, those casualties and foreshadowing were all in preparation for today's offensive on the eastern city wall.

"Our mission is to drag the Baiyue people in Luo County, right?"

"Exactly, the military order given to us by the Lord is to drag Baiyue around Luo County."

"Our combat power is better than that of Baiyue people. Right? ā€

"The general is right, our sergeants, one sergeant is better than at least five hundred Yue."

"Good!"

It's very good, since the Baiyue people didn't run, and their own army is better at fighting than the Baiyue people, but something happened that was slightly unprepared, not that the whole army collapsed or the entire Luo County was taken by Baiyue, so what else did Sima Xin have to worry about.

"Order the Shao Ai Department to meet the defenders in the east of the city and slowly retreat, and at the same time order the Yijia Department to set up a defensive line in the east of the city." The smile on Sima Xin's face was not a disguise. The assumption in his tone didn't look like a hard support: "Since the Baiyue people want to attack the city, then let them attack it." ā€

It can be said that the generals who heard Sima Xin's words were stunned, in their concepts. The most important thing in defending the city is to guard the city wall from being occupied by the enemy, once the enemy army attacks the city, even if it pays a big price, it should be taken back, otherwise the loss of the city wall is equivalent to the city break.

This understanding continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty, but no matter how Sima Xin was, he was a person who had been in contact with Lu Zhe for a long time. He and many generals had heard a lot of Lu Zhe's opinions on war, and under Lu Zhe's continuous indoctrination, many generals, including Sima Xin, understood a truth. Defending the city is not only to guard the city wall, the city wall is broken does not mean that the city is lost, there is a method of war called street fighting, and street fighting is quite advantageous for the defenders, as long as you do not panic and cause the troops under your command to lose their fighting spirit, it is not impossible to successfully reverse the situation.

The combat strength of the defenders is stronger than that of the Baiyue people, and the defenders are far more familiar with the terrain in the city than the Baiyue people, and Sima Xin's understanding of these situations is not bad at all. At the same time, their task is to hold back the Baiyue people, in the stage when Lu Zhe has already sent 200,000 troops and is about to complete the roundabout, as long as the defenders of Luo County do not collapse, as long as the Baiyue people do not run away, then what is the difference between fighting in the city and defending the city wall?

"Actually, this is quite good, the Baiyue people killed into the city, so it can be expected that they will definitely not run."

Sima Xin was not panicked by being taken by surprise, but seemed very happy because the enemy army had entered the city, and a large part of it also made the generals calm down.

Some of the more enlightened generals also understood after a little thought, their main task is to drag the Baiyue people instead of defeating the Baiyue people, the Baiyue people who attacked the city were more reluctant to escape than the Baiyue people who could not enter the city, and in some ways it was really more powerful for their task to be beaten in than not to be beaten in?

The generals who came back to their senses looked at Sima Xin with some admiration, and they thought that the loss of control of the eastern city wall was deliberately done by Sima Xin, in order to strengthen Baiyue's will to stay in Luo County, so that after their master completed the detour, he could annihilate all the Baiyue people in Luo County and deliberately show weakness.

Seeing the gazes of the generals, Sima Xin instantly guessed their thoughts. He didn't break it, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all by those admiring glances, but distributed the tasks very neatly.

Since the city wall in the east is broken, it is broken, but the rest of the city wall is to be careful, Sima Xin thought about it and felt that there was no need to defend the other three city walls, the most important thing now is to gather troops to come to the north of the city, as long as there is a way to retreat, even if the city is lost, it doesn't matter, as long as they can hold on until Lu Zhe's roundabout troops surround it, it will be a success.

The defenders of Luoxian County resisted very fiercely, but the follow-up troops were insufficient, and Yi Hu Song didn't feel that there was anything wrong here at all, what he wanted was to complete the breakthrough and enter the city, so as to improve the morale of Baiyue people and at the same time gain a firm foothold in the city.

When the defenders of the eastern city wall of Luo County retreated, Yi Hu Song climbed the city wall full of corpses and blood stains as a victor, and he smiled at the Wu Zhu who had entered the city together: "There are already 50,000 warriors entering the city, and the next thing is to wait for Lu Zhejun, who has become panicked because of the loss of the city wall, to panic himself, and we will take advantage of the situation to take the entire Luo County city in one fell swoop!" ā€

It seems to be right, although they are Baiyue people, but they also know more or less that the Chinese people's insistence on the city is to guard the city wall, once the city wall is lost, it will shake the army's heart, as long as the army's heart is shaken, they will definitely be afraid. The threat of a terrified enemy army is minimized, and because the morale of the Baiyue army that has successfully attacked the city is high against the demoralized defenders, the gap between the two sides should be infinitely narrowed under the morale of the other and the other, right?

Yihu Song guessed correctly, because the city wall in the east of the city was lost, the defenders of Luoxian who learned the news were indeed panicked, and once caused chaos in some of the formations, but after Sima Xin reacted and appeased the generals, the generals of each department stabilized their minds and then went to control and restrain the troops.

Although the statement of deliberately letting the enemy army into the city is a bit incomprehensible, and the soldiers feel ridiculous when they hear it, since the officers did not panic, and the commander did not flee from the city in a panic, then the officers did not panic as a non-commissioned officer, what else to panic about, and just obey the order to continue fighting.

When the Song Dynasty was excited and proud because of the success of the plan, and sent an army to drive the enemy out of the city and occupy the city, the Baiyue people who were sent out were also high-spirited and high-spirited, and they really advanced rapidly at the beginning, but with the passage of time and the Baiyue people distanced themselves because of the advancement, the news of which direction the Song got to encounter a counterattack, which army was routed back in the enemy's counterattack, and so on.

What do you say about "a little ......"? Su Wuzhu looked at Yi Hu Song, who looked strange and a little confused, and hesitated: "It's a little difficult?" ā€

Not only is it difficult, the translator Song was very surprised by the tenacity of Lu Zhejun, you must know that the Chinese people are most afraid of the city wall when defending the city, as long as the city wall is lost, the Chinese army will think that the city is broken, countless times in history have shown that the Chinese army will collapse when facing this situation, how did the Lu Zhe army in Luo County react a little differently from the rest of the Chinese army after the city wall was lost?

What Yi Hu Song, who didn't quite understand, was thinking about how to expand his advantage, and since he had entered the game, he would use his advantage to continue fighting. He sent someone to inform the Baiyue troops outside the city, so that the Baiyue people outside the city could transfer more manpower into the city, and the rest of the directions also changed from feints to real attacks, and he didn't believe that the Luoxian defenders would not collapse in such a situation!

"Siege Sanque Yi, what we want is the victory of capturing Luoxian County, and we should not be too persistent in annihilating the defenders in the city." Su Wuzhu seemed quite cautious, and immediately reminded Yi Hu Song: "Why don't you make a gap in the north of the city where there are more defenders and where the main defenders are located, and let them break through?" ā€

There was no situation he wanted, and Yi Hu Song was both confused and angry, but he did not fall into a state of hysteria, and after thinking about it, he agreed to the construction of Wu Zhu.

If Sima Xin still doesn't leave if he leaves the gap and allows the defenders to break through, then Yi Hu Song should think about what the hell is going on. (To be continued......)
