Chapter 466: Dilemma (2)

There is no way to enter, and under the dilemma, after getting the news that the military city that he had captured with great difficulty not long ago had been recaptured by the Sui army again, Liu Yuan knew that he was definitely going to retreat!

There is no doubt about this, Liu Yuan glanced left and right, his eyes turned around in the tent, and the face of every leader present clearly wrote the word "retreat".

If the previous situation can continue to drag on, after occupying that military city, expand left and right, cut off the supply line of the Sui army, and the army enters the heart of the Sui realm, then the Sui army will most likely retreat first, but the loss of the city is completely a dead knot, and it is not enough to occupy it again.

When Zengshan is gained and lost, the fate of the Huns has been doomed, this is not only a matter of the gain or loss of a city, but more importantly, now the Huns have no time to attack another city!

In Shuofang County, there are fortresses, large and small cities in various places, and if you don't build a city, you have no foothold, and it is impossible to feed the enemy, so where else can you go?

There is not much grain and grass in the army, and the Huns did not bring much grain and grass in the first place, according to estimates, they thought that they could be like a bamboo, and they could loot in the Central Plains!

This is Liu Yuan's military strategy based on the Western Jin Dynasty of the year, the Huns have lived in Mobei for a long time, and they don't know what the difference is between the current Sui State and the Jin State!

This is also the strategy of the Mongols, whether the Huns succeed or not is not a big loss to them, if it does, it will be great that the Huns occupy several counties of the Sui people, and kill some Central Plains people; If it doesn't work, it will also weaken the strength of the Huns, and the Huns can't see through this plan of killing two birds with one stone!

And this strategy was originally borne by the Xiongnu and the Turkic people, but the Turks were very obedient, and the obedient went to the Monan grassland, but they did not send troops to attack the county town of Sui, but it was a good show of chasing and killing for thousands of miles, it is said that the master broke a few, and the Turkic Wuzun Bi Xuan was injured and returned!

In this way, the Mongols can't say that the Turks have no strength, the Turks know the strength of the Sui people, and they don't dare to fight the idea of the Sui people's cities, this is the lesson that Yang Yi gave to the Turks in the copy of the "Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

"These people all have the strength to preserve, watching our people fight desperately?" Liu Yuan looked at the leaders of the clans again, such as the leader of the Yue Clan, whose eyes were half-squinted and didn't see anything wrong.

In the main tent, which was so quiet that the pins could be heard, there was only the sound of heavy breathing, and everyone seemed to take silence as a motto, but their minds were all turning the same thought, "It's better to withdraw early!" ”

The key now is how to leave smoothly, the current situation, it is not possible to leave if you want to, once you retreat, who knows if the Sui people will go out of the city to pursue, and whether their own side will disperse in a hurry.

Unlike the army of the Central Plains, the tribes on the grassland are not warlike people, once the retreat is announced, then it means that the war is over, then the 100,000 coalition troops will immediately disperse!

They don't care whether there is a Sui pursuit or not, but Liu Yuan can't help but consider that although the Huns now have more than one million people controlling the strings, but for him, if the 70,000 elites gathered now are lost, it will be enough for him to feel heartache for a long time, he already knows, don't look at the Sui people now no longer go out of the city to drown, but it does not mean that the Sui people still take the current negative posture after getting the news of their retreat.

The intelligence of the Central Plains people, he already knew, maybe there was some conspiracy trap waiting for him, if he couldn't leave before this, and then wanted to leave, it would be ten times more difficult.

According to the art of war on the grassland, if you can't attack the city in three days, you can't fight anymore, which proves that the people of the Central Plains are on guard, and may even have laid a conspiracy to kill them all!

The people present are all smart people, and it is not difficult to figure out such a simple truth, but not everyone can come up with the idea of a smooth retreat, you glance at me, I glance at you, and they all hope that others will come out first.

Who dares to say that the army will be withdrawn, then everyone will definitely let this person stay behind, and the loss of thousands of people, the tribal leaders here can afford to lose, but they will not be willing to lose it like this!

What's more, if you can't occupy the place of the Central Plains people, you can't go to the Monan grassland to occupy a piece of territory?

This is also what the Mongols promised, just to suppress the Khitans!

It's just that none of these clan leaders want to speak first, they don't want to be the target of public criticism, and they don't want to run away empty-handed.

Liu Yuan naturally wanted to leave, there was not much grain and grass in reserve, and he didn't grab the grain and grass of the Central Plains, so waiting for the grain and grass to be consumed, the entire coalition army was in danger of capsizing at any time, and he didn't have the idea of dying with it.

However, Liu Yuan couldn't speak, as soon as he opened his mouth, he had to send someone to die, although the lives of the Huns were not valuable, but he didn't want to waste them for no reason!

However, if he doesn't say it, he can signal others to say it!

Looking at his son Liu Cong, Liu Yuan decisively signaled him to come out!

The Huns are different from the Central Plains Dynasty, before the father and son succeed to the throne of the Central Plains Dynasty, it is impossible for the emperor to let his son control too much power, but the Huns are not like this, each son will be divided into clans as long as they are adults, and the same is true for Liu Yuan, the former army led by Liu Cong is actually his own tribal army!

Historically, Liu Cong also fought with the Central Plains people, and naturally looked down on the combat power of the Central Plains people, so he dared to be a pioneer, but after the head was broken and the blood flowed, he was sober!

Looking at the big drama in the big tent, he was naturally interesting to watch, but a big scene was really interesting to watch up close, but he also put his own life into it, Liu Yuan was not sensitive.

Because of Liu Yuan, since the arrival of the army, Liu Cong has been unable to control the military, but the current situation has given him a chance.

"Father, father, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't let me wait for this opportunity!" Before the crisis, Liu Cong was a little excited in his heart.

Liu Yuan wanted him to sacrifice, but he also gave him a chance so that the tribes could see his courage and ability!

And this is the opportunity he dreamed of, there are not many opportunities to show his ability, but now it is given to him by Liu Yuan, "How can there be a prince in the world for a hundred years", Liu Cong's ambition is also very big, he is not willing to be only a Zuoxian king, he wants to become the big single Yu of the entire Huns!

And this, he needs the support of the rest of the tribes, and why the rest of the tribes want to support him, he needs to show his ability!

Since Liu Yuan gave him this opportunity, Liu Cong would naturally seize it, and immediately stood up at this time and said, "Everyone, Liu Cong has something to say. ”

This is the first time that Liu Cong interjected at the military meeting, and everyone in the tent looked sideways, waiting for his speech?

No one stopped him, Liu Cong is also said to be the leader of a clan, so he is naturally qualified to speak at the big meeting, but in the past, Liu Yuan suppressed him and didn't let him speak!

Liu Conglang said: "Today, please invite the army to fight as usual, no matter whether you leave or stay next, the problems we are facing now are not known to the people of the Central Plains." ”

With a little ostentatious eyes, he swept across everyone's faces, and he emphasized in an accent: "Everything must be as usual!" ”

Liu Cong's tone was a little tough, regardless of the difference between respect and inferiority, but Liu Yuan, who was pondered by Liu Cong's words, was not annoyed by this, his words were like a slap in the face, reminding Liu Yuan at once.

In terms of the art of war, the siege of the city is also taboo and stuffy, for the sake of morale, both sides are unwilling to give up, but are waiting for the opportunity, so it will be such a funny scene.

Without the ability to siege the city, facing the city, if you can't fight for a long time, the morale of the army will be reduced little by little, even if there is enough food and grass supply!

The city that was attacked was actually very difficult, once it was besieged, then the internal and external passages were cut off, even if there was enough food and grass supply, it was inevitable that people's hearts would fluctuate!

Both sides are actually waiting for an opportunity to see who can't support it first, and who can't support it first, then as long as there is a flaw, it's a dead end!

In the history books, there are often wars that have been around for many years and then collapsed in a war, and the reason for this is also because of this, and now, the opportunity is for the Central Plains people to wait, but they must not let them know.

After Liu Cong finished speaking at this time, he immediately said to Liu Yuan: "Cong will lead the troops to invite the battle now, and invite the adults to sit in the army!" ”

Liu Yuan could only nod at this time, and then sharply ordered to the leaders of the various tribes in the account: "Today's matter must be kept strictly secret, otherwise the whole army will be worried!" ”

The leaders of the tribes said yes one after another, their own lives were at stake, and they could not be careless.

It is even more difficult to retreat in front of the enemy, even if it is pure cavalry, it is also true, you must leave a strong army to break the rear, otherwise the broken soldiers will be defeated by a battle, and it will not play the role of breaking the rear!

According to Liu Yuan's meaning, he wants Liu Cong to break off, Liu Cong's clan is also good, naturally it can be broken, and if he loses, he will lose, although he is his own son, but he must also control it, and he can't let him give birth to thoughts that he shouldn't have!

It's just that Liu Cong saw the opportunity quickly, and after throwing out a question, he immediately seized the opportunity, so that Liu Yuan had no way to say his proposal, and Liu Yuan could only postpone it for a day and wait for tomorrow's big meeting!

He decided that no matter what he said tomorrow, he would have to settle the matter of withdrawing the army, and it was nothing more than that he would leave one or two thousand people for himself, and the other tribes would also have to leave some people, and all of them would be given to Liu Cong at that time, and the remaining number of people would be his, presumably this would be fine!

……

The dim sun in the sky has not yet set, but the battle that has lasted for several days has never stopped, and now, at this time, it has finally moved from the city to the city.

Accompanied by a long and desolate and mournful horn from a white daze outside the city, thousands of Hun warriors rushed to the city wall like swarms of ants, holding long ladders.

The soldiers of the Sui army on the city wall, looking at the Huns, are completely different from the madness of the previous attacks, the three-zhang high city wall, even if the Huns' ladder is up, it is just to die.

These days, the Huns have been sent to death several times, and this time must be no exception; It's just that since the first few days of the Huns' mad dog-like attack, these days have been dealing with errands, but after the scolding battle outside the city, the cavalry around the city and shooting arrows forget it, but I didn't expect to start attacking again!

Under the urging of the horn, the Huns relied on hundreds of long ladders, and in just half an hour, the Huns had rushed to the city three times with bravery, but they rushed to the city without regard for life and death, but there was no effective result!

If you ride a horse on the plain, such a warrior can fight a hundred ordinary soldiers, but in this siege war, the lack of war horses is to hit the head of the city, and under the siege of the Sui army sergeants, it is also the end of instant death!

Unless the Huns can send thousands of such warriors to attack the city and sacrifice, it is possible to make this city change hands!

However, this is only possible, unless there is no defense in the city, a few days ago, when Liu Yuan's army arrived, every day was thousands of Xiongnu warriors and other warriors of all ethnic groups led the team to attack the city, even if it was a cloud ladder climbing attack, it also made this city precarious.

That is, Yang Yanzhao sent his own personal guard, the Jinsha Blood Pawn, to defend the city, and only then did he repel the waves of attacks of these coalition warriors!

But any general from Tianbo Mansion can train his family's unique class of troops - Jinsha Blood Pawn; This is the top legendary class of the infantry army, if you encounter those top cavalry troops in the grassland alliance in the wild, you may suffer, but if you encounter it in the city attack and defense battle, it will be a nightmare for the coalition army!

And this is also the reason why Bai Qi is interested in Yang Yanzhao to guard the rear, Yang Yanzhao's 10,000 Jinsha blood soldiers are assigned to various cities in Shuofang, which is enough to block the attack of the Huns' warriors, and in a short period of time, it is impossible for any city to fall!

There is a moat in the city, the thief army can not rush under the city at all, there is a horse face that protrudes outward in the wall of the city wall, and the enemy army can attack the city from the left and right.

Only those legendary troops, which are completely different from ordinary sergeants, can overcome the difficulties and attack the city!

But they can't just take the city, unless they can stand at the head of the city long enough to open up the depth and let ordinary soldiers successfully attack the city, then it is possible to capture the city!

The steppe coalition army is mainly cavalry, there is no siege equipment, only relying on cloud ladders, only using warriors as the vanguard, as long as there is a strong army in the city that can suppress their warriors, then these alien coalition forces will not be able to take down any city at all!

These days, the Huns' attacks have also proved this, only the only city has fallen, or because the defenders in the city are too greedy for merit, and none of the other cities or even the dock fort have fallen!

"General, why did the Huns attack again today?"

"They're trying to escape!"
