Chapter 776: Another Calculation
Han Mo looked coldly at Su Guanya at the head of the city, and said disdainfully: "Su Guanya, I always thought you were a gentleman, but today, it seems that in front of this gentleman, there is a 'pseudo' word to be added. You want me to kill myself under the city? It's ridiculous, how could Ben have fallen for someone like you. ”
He knew very well that if he was really killed by the slope of Suguan Cliff and committed suicide under the city, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was a rebel, and in this way, the entire Han clan would naturally be injured in the name of the traitor.
At such a moment, no matter what tricks the other party makes, it is impossible for him to compromise.
Su Guanya smiled faintly and said, "Since this is the case, then there is nothing the official can do." Han Mo, if you want to rebel, even if you attack the city, this official will see how capable you are to capture this Yanjing City. The soldiers and civilians in the city are loyal to the saint and loyal to the country, even if they fight to the last soldier, they will not let the rebels enter the city! ”
He said it generously and uprightly, as if the army led by Han Mo was really a rebel.
Han Mo smiled coldly, at this moment, a group of cavalry galloped over from the side, arrived next to Han Mo, and reported in a low voice, Han Mo looked indifferent, nodded slightly, and then waved his hand, and the cavalry corps immediately retreated.
The soldiers at the head of the city were all suspicious and puzzled, why did this large army withdraw so quickly when it came to the city?
Tang Mingwu understood, and sneered: "Although Han Mo came with an army, they were all cavalry, and they couldn't attack the city at all, so they must have retreated to rest." Wait until the army behind you catches up, and then attack the city. Speaking of this, his face was unusually ugly, and he stared at Su Yuting and said, "General Su, how could it be that Han Mo led his troops back?" What about Your Highness? ”
Su Yuting said lightly: "So far, can't General Tang see the situation?" ”
"General Su, did you already know that His Highness had failed?" Tang Mingwu pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and looked at Su Yuting coldly: "Why haven't you told me all this time?" ”
Su Guanya glanced at Tang Mingwu and said lightly: "What is going on with General Tang now?" Now that Han Mo's army is approaching the city, it should be unanimously resisting the enemy, is it possible for General Tang to start infighting at this time? ”
His voice was cold and awe-inspiring.
Tang Mingwu is not a stupid person, this mutiny is already risky, but Tang Mingwu knows the details of the plan, and he is very confident in the plot planned by the prince, and has always thought that the possibility of the prince's failure is not great, if you have to divide the probability, Tang Mingwu has always felt that it is eighty percent possible.
For Tang Mingwu, the probability of success is already quite high.
But he never thought that people were not as good as heaven, and the failure rate of only two cities became a reality in the end.
At this point, he and Su Yuting are grasshoppers on a rope, and everyone is in the same boat, and they can't be separated if they want to.
"Unanimously resisting the enemy?" Although he was clear about the current situation, Tang Mingwu still had a lot of resentment against the Su family in his heart, "Su Shang, Han Mo's army is coming to the city, although the cavalry can't attack the city for a while, but you can't forget that behind this, there must be a large number of troops rushing to Yanjing." When the time comes, the army will besiege the city, and we only have two royal forest battalions, how can we resist the enemy? ”
He felt more and more that the situation was dangerous, and a chill ran in his heart.
Su Guanya looked at the retreating cavalry regiment in an orderly manner, and said indifferently: "Who said that we only have two royal forest battalions?" ”
"Could it be...... We also have reinforcements? Tang Mingwu had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He also kept calm at this time, thinking that the Su family, one of the century-old families, was tied to him, Su Guanya had always been cautious in doing things, and he had a back hand in everything, and this time he was afraid that he would also have a big back hand.
Su Guanya knew that this was Tang Mingwu and an extremely important person, if at this time, Tang Mingwu was swaying and had other different intentions, it would be even worse for the Su family.
At this moment, Tang Mingwu's heart must be stabilized.
For such a general, it is necessary to pay equal attention to grace and might, not only to stabilize him, but also to give him strong pressure and majesty.
"General Tang, Han Mo has betrayed Luan like this, and the officers and soldiers of my Dayan counties will never sit idly by." Su Guanya stroked his beard and said: "If the official's guess is correct, the real Qinwang is now rushing to Yanjing." ”
Tang Mingwu frowned and said: "Su Shang, Han Mo's subordinates are all Qing Yi Se's cavalry, and my Dayan national cavalry is no more than 30,000 people, but now nearly half of them are under his command." The cavalry is strong in combat, even if there are reinforcements to help, whether it can be Han Mo's opponent is unknown. After a pause, he said: "Su Shang must not forget that Han Mo's follow-up troops must rush over here, at that time, the number of troops will increase greatly, even if reinforcements from various states and counties arrive, they may not be their opponents." ”
Although Tang Mingwu said "all states and counties", he knew very well in his heart that what could really come to help was nothing more than the power of the Su family, and it was a good thing that the armies of other counties did not come to fight the capital, and it was undoubtedly whimsical to let them come over to help fight the powerful Northwest Army.
"Han Mo was able to rush to the capital so quickly, it was nothing more than because of the Qing Yi se cavalry, and he traveled day and night, and his follow-up troops may not be able to arrive within three or five days." Su Guanya was extremely calm, and stroked his beard and said: "As long as Han Mo is defeated and Han Mo is captured before Han Mo's follow-up troops arrive, then this battle will be over." ”
"Catch Han Mo? Crush the Northwest Cavalry? Tang Mingwu felt a little incredible: "Su Shang, you're not joking, right?" How many troops would it take to crush his army? Where did we get so many troops? ”
Su Guanya looked at Tang Mingwu and said with a smile: "General Tang, the more than 10,000 cavalry now are not the group of cavalry that just set off from the northwest!" ”
"What does Su Shang mean?" Tang Mingwu frowned, a little puzzled.
Without waiting for Su Guanya to speak, Su Yuting had already said: "General Tang, the cavalry under Han Mo came back from the northwest border pass of nearly 1,000 miles day and night, how much strength do you think they still have?" ”
"Not bad." Su Guanya said with a smile: "Today's Han Mo's army is also spectacular, but it looks like a wolf and a tiger, but this is already the end of the strong crossbow." He Han Mo is vigorous, could it be that the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command are all vigorous. Nearly a thousand miles of road, that is not a short distance, day and night long run, and there is snow along the way, in this kind of weather, whether it is people or horses, it has reached the limit, they are now sleepy and tired, and the combat effectiveness has even been reduced to the minimum. With such a huge consumption, if you don't have a day or two of rest, you will definitely not recover. ”
When Tang Mingwu heard this, his brows expanded slightly.
He is also a big Yan tiger general, but he also understands these truths, at this time, the northwest cavalry, day and night rushed to the capital, it seems to be majestic, but it has been through huge physical strength and Jing force consumption, whether it is a soldier or a war horse, it must be as Su Guanya said, exhausted.
"Han Mo suddenly withdrew his troops, he must have known that his subordinates were not able to do it, so he withdrew to rest and wait for reinforcements." The corners of Tang Mingwu's mouth flashed with a smile, "Su Shang, what you said is right, the Northwest Cavalry at this time is probably really vulnerable." Moreover, it was the depths of winter, and the ground was covered with thick snow, and the cavalry's horses would inevitably be affected by the snow, and their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. ”
Su Guanya stroked his beard and nodded: "General Tang is worthy of being a fierce general of Dayan, and he will explain the weakness of Han Mo in one word. ”
Tang Mingwu's heart was wide and he smiled, and suddenly, he remembered something, frowned and asked, "Su Shang, although the cavalry under Han Mo is now sleepy and lacking horses, but ...... Tens of thousands of cavalry legions, that is also not to be looked down upon, if you want to defeat this cavalry and capture Han Mo alive before the arrival of the follow-up army in the northwest, it will not be easy. Where do we have so many troops to deal with them? He glanced at Su Yuting and said slowly: "Although the last general and General Su's subordinates combined have 10,000 troops, but ...... The troops in our hands can't be transferred out of the capital to deal with Han Mo? We can't go out of the city, where will the troops come from? Su Shang, you know better than the last general, if you want to defeat Han Mo's cavalry, even if they are now sleepy and lacking horses, they will need at least two to three times the strength to win, where did we get so many troops? ”
Su Guanya said very calmly: "At this point, General Tang can rest assured, this official has already said that now there are several Qinwang divisions coming to Beijing, and the strength of these armies is not less than 20,000, and they are all divisions that raise Jing and accumulate sharpness, and they will definitely be able to give a heavy blow to the northwest cavalry." At this time, the Northwest Cavalry only focused on Yanjing City, and I was afraid that there were several large armies surrounding them...... After all, Han Mo is a son of Huang A and does not understand military law. The corners of his mouth sneered: "Running thousands of miles and leading tens of thousands of cavalry who could not attack the city to the city, but doing nothing, it can be seen that his military talent is extremely ordinary, just the courage of a young man." He thought that by coming with a large army, he would be able to scare us and make us abandon our weapons and surrender...... It's so childish, it's ridiculous. With such a different military leader and a group of tired divisions under his command, this official believes that Han Mo must be in our hands! ”
Han Mo led a large number of cavalry to the city, without any siege weapons, he could only watch the tall Yanjing city wall, which was indeed ridiculous from a military point of view, and could only be used to show off his majesty and deter the soldiers in the city.
This move, both strategically and tactically, does not seem to have much effect.
Because of this, Su Guanya concluded that Han Mo was just an impulsive young man and did not have great military talent.
Otherwise, Han Mo could have prepared a large army and came to the city to attack the city with siege weapons, instead of just putting on a posture under the city like now, and then retreating.
"Han Mo's soldiers are in full swing, and they definitely don't think anyone will dare to move them." Su Guanya put one hand on the battlements, watched the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves fade away, and said with a cold smile: "But we are going to catch them off guard." ”
Su Yuting watched the black-pressed cavalry retreat, his face solemn.
Although he didn't have much contact with Han Moja, he always felt in his heart that Han Mo was a very scheming person, and he would never be so mindless in doing things.
Han Mo led the cavalry regiment to Yanjing first, not just to deter.
