Chapter 902: Windfall
Jiang Zhuo didn't speak on the side, and it wasn't his turn to speak here. However, there were only a few thousand defenders on the Hefei side after all, and after a fierce battle last night, Cao's army must have also been damaged.
In addition, they collected a lot of prisoners, which is also a big hidden danger. Taking advantage of this opportunity to attack Hefei City, whether it is a strong attack or a strategy, there is a possibility of success.
In the end, Lu Meng came up with an idea, that is, to bypass Hefei and go straight to the rear of the enemy army. Plunder the enemy's rear to raise the army, and at the same time can also fortify and block Cao's reinforcements.
The reason why this was not done before was because the 100,000 army wanted to rely on plundering for support, which was basically impossible to do, and it had to rely on the grain transported from Jiangdong. In this case, it will not be possible to rashly cross the city of Hefei, and the logistics and grain routes will be attacked, resulting in a great rout of the whole army.
Although there are only more than 10,000 people left, they are still superior forces in the face of the defenders of Hefei. If you bypass Hefei, you can find some hills or cities to fortify.
Even if he can't resist Cao Cao's reinforcements in the end, he can still loot wealth and population and leave. The current background is just after the Battle of Chibi, although Cao Cao gathered more than 100,000 defeated troops after the war, the newly defeated army can no longer be used.
The reinforcements sent must have not participated in the Battle of Chibi. The armies that did not participate in the Battle of Chibi were basically guarding against the Northern Gongsun family or the Western Liang Ma Han before. Therefore, the reinforcements that Cao Cao could send over were at most the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left behind by Xu Du before, no more than 50,000 at most, and the most likely number was 30,000.
If there are only 30,000 people, there is still a lot of room for operation on Sun Quan's side. You must know that after last night's battle, there were a lot of defeated troops in the wilderness on the Sun family's side, and if they could be gathered, the strength would slowly increase.
"Okay, order the whole army to make a fire and cook at once, and the whole army will start at noon." Sun Quan immediately ordered, and Jiang Zhuo frowned on the side.
Is this quest for this secret realm taking so long? The people on the forum basically failed the task within two hours of the start.
And he has been on a 12-hour mission now, and there is no sign of finishing. The game limits everyone to only 18 hours a day, and by the time the whole army set off at noon, Jiang Zhuo had already played for 14 hours.
In the previous life, the secret realm task of transferring to a job cannot be taken offline, and it will fail if it is offline. Jiang Zhuo didn't know if he had changed this rule in this life, otherwise he would be in trouble if he waited for the 18-hour time limit to arrive, and he would be forced offline.
"Bypass the fortification of Hefei City to guard against enemy reinforcements, and then transfer reinforcements from Jiangdong to surround Hefei, and want to swallow the vast Huainan in one bite, which is such a simple thing..."
Jiang Zhuo sighed secretly, the Sun family's civil and military generals were all carried away by the great victory in the Battle of Chibi.
If nothing else, news will soon come from Jiangling that Zhou Yu successfully conquered Jiangling City, but was killed by Zhuge Liang's anger. As soon as this bad news came, the hearts of the whole army will be shaken.
After all, Zhou Yu was the governor of the Jiangdong Army and had great prestige.
Jiang Zhuo couldn't sit back and watch the defeat of the Jiangdong Army, otherwise his transfer mission would probably be ruined.
"What to do... There is probably not one in the Jiangdong Army who can listen to me now. On Tai Shici's side, I may be able to convince, but if he is alone, it is useless..."
Tai Shici's troops were killed and wounded in the fierce battle last night, and Jiang Zhuo no longer counted on him.
Jiang Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly, Xiaoyaojin was a ferry by Shishui, and Shishui was a river flowing through Hefei City. Before Zhang Liao personally led his troops to sit in Xiaoyaojin, he helped each other with Hefei City, and had the advantage of fighting against the water, so that Sun Shiwan had nowhere to speak.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Jiang Zhuo's mind, where would Cao Jun put them after collecting a large number of prisoners? Hefei City is absolutely impossible! It was a military town, and no hidden dangers were allowed.
Then it can only be placed in Xiaoyaojin!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhuo immediately found Tai Shici. Although Tai Shici's subordinates only have to defeat the soldiers, if they fight a Xiaoyaojin, it should be no problem to have his help.
The two of them went together to meet Sun Quan and express their thoughts, they were going to Xiaoyaojin to rescue the captives. If Xiaoyaojin can be taken, Hefei will become an isolated city.
Before Hefei was surrounded by water on both sides, one side had Xiaoyaojin Water Village, and only one side could be attacked. That's why Sun 100,000 couldn't start.
If Xiaoyaojin falls, Hefei City will not only have to be attacked on both sides, but also divide some soldiers and horses to garrison the two city walls surrounded by Shishui. Because there are boats in the water village, they can go around the back of Hefei City and sneak attack.
In this way, the disadvantage of insufficient troops in Hefei will be fully magnified.
"So, is it possible?" Sun Quan was a little hesitant, he didn't dare to take risks.
Jiang Zhuo said solemnly, "My lord, the last general and General Taishi only need five hundred elite soldiers to go and have a try. If you succeed, you should be the best, and if you fail, it doesn't hurt. ”
Sun Quan was a little surprised when he heard this request for troops, but he was also relieved in his heart. After saying that the two of them wanted to put their own safety first, they agreed to the two's request to fight.
The two immediately led their troops out of the city, and Tai Shici's face was full of excitement. If this battle can be achieved, his sins will basically be erased.
You must know that Tai Shici committed such a big sin before, and left an indelible stain on his life resume. If he doesn't make great achievements, let alone be promoted, it's hard to say whether he will be able to mix in the army in the future.
The best result is probably to be thrown into a remote place to be a town general, and be refrigerated for a lifetime.
"More General Jiang has carried it!" Tai Shi Ci solemnly clenched his fists, completely ignoring that Jiang Zhuo had put himself in a high position just because Jiang Zhuo was his personal soldier before. Jiang Zhuo has the grace of saving his life and making up for his merits, plus this time he let him make meritorious contributions, so Tai Shici is really grateful.
Jiang Zhuo waved his hand on the surface to signal Tai Shici not to care, but he rolled his eyes in his heart. You're grateful for having an egg in the secret realm, and you're grateful to me when you go out of the secret realm, huh?
Jiang Zhuo suddenly frowned, and turned his head to look at Tai Shici. Tai Shici was cold-hearted, do you want me to make a promise?
"General Taishi, I don't know who else is in your family?" This question was asked quite abruptly, if it weren't for Jiang Zhuo's great kindness to Tai Shici, maybe people would really not be able to bird you.
But Tai Shici still said honestly, his mother is still alive! And he lived in a hut deep in the mountains in Donglai's hometown, Tai Shici was on the front line in Jiangdong because he had been on the front line and had no time to get out, so he didn't go to pick up his mother.
Jiang Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, this guy hid his mother so deeply!
In fact, there are many people in the game looking for Tai Shici's mother, but no one has found him in his past and present lives. But Jiang Zhuo knew that in his previous life, Tai Shici sent someone to take his old mother over after the Battle of Hefei and started a family in Jiangdong.
"Hahaha..."
