Chapter 0344: Wait and see
"There are more than 100 meters, but the number of the other side is quite a lot, once the earthen wall is piled up, with the earthen wall as a shelter they can do it with all their might, to the end of the estimate, the earthen wall does not need to be high, three meters can be, when the time comes, all the way over, one layer is higher than the other, not how long, ten meters can be, send out nine thousand people divided into three teams, day and night stacking, at most ten days, you can pile up a road for the cavalry to rush up to the city wall, if the Yuan army is more decisive, more manpower, from fifty meters or thirty meters, twenty meters, Begin to lengthen the length of the earthen wall, and it won't be long before the city wall will become a battlefield where cavalry can come and go freely! ”
Zhang Ji is a veteran after all, he has a lot of experience, and naturally he has experience, in his opinion, there is no flaw in the city wall of Xihe City, but Liliang decides success or failure, not that there are no flaws to win, it is really to Zuihou, the competition is Liliang, the number of soldiers, and the comprehensive strength of the entire army.
Looking at the stunned expressions of the others, Zhang Ji said helplessly: "After all, the other party's pile of earth is not to build a city wall, and it may even be shorter than I expected." In fact, this situation is already very good, after all, Xihe City has no danger to defend, and it is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the use of defensive measures such as the city wall is far lower than everyone thinks. ”
"My lord, the last general is willing to take the lead!"
At this time, Zhang Xiu, who was sitting behind Zhang Ji, couldn't help but stand up and excitedly invited to fight.
"Lord, the last general is willing to be a pioneer......!"
Ma Chong, Bi Feng, the two young people, have been holding back in Xihe City for so long, and they fought for a few minutes yesterday, but they couldn't play it freely, how could they give up such a good opportunity?
Looking at the military generals who were eager to try, Zhang Yuan nodded indispensably, but Jia Xu frowned, thinking about something, suddenly raised his hand, and then stood up elegantly, and said: "Lord, at this time, you have to think about it in the long run, and you must not make a hasty decision!" ”
Zhang Yuan looked at Jia Xu suspiciously, and asked, "Does Mr. Wenhe think there is anything wrong with this?" ”
He also tends to go out of the city to fight, after all, relying on the city wall to fight, the heavy infantry has never been afraid of anyone, and even more so, the heavy infantry who put on a position may not be as good as the Mo Dao soldiers of the Tang Dynasty as the nemesis of the cavalry, but if the two armies face off, Zhang Yuan absolutely believes that the casualties given by the heavy infantry to the other side will definitely not be lower than the casualties given by the Mo Dao soldiers to the cavalry.
Qian Tian, who was inclined to wait and see, couldn't help but look at Jia Xu, misestimating the speed of the other party's pile of earth, after listening to Zhang Ji's words, in his heart, why wasn't he moved by Zhang Ji's words?
"Now, we should wait and see what happens!" Jia Xu didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly, and then saw that the others were puzzled, and explained: "What is this Yuan Dynasty county lord doing with the earthen wall? Capture Xihe City, to be more precise, force out our troops, fight a decisive battle with them, and then easily capture Xihe City and pull out the nail on the front line of the Western Han Dynasty! ”
Hearing this, everyone understood, Jia Xu said very clearly, combined with what happened these days, Zhao Min's every plan was aimed at forcing them out of Xihe City.
"What he thinks, how can I let him do what he wants?"
Jia Xu said that when he came to this, the scales in the hearts of others were a little overwhelmed, and the three young generals behind Zhang Ji, including Zhang Xiu, Ma Yun, and Bi Feng, were a little breathless.
Jia Xu seemed to anticipate their thoughts, and said, "Why is it that we are not leaving the city for a long time? Not strong enough, or are you cowardly? Neither! It is our 10,000 people and 100,000 people facing the enemy head-on, just one blow to break it, the victory or defeat is in the number of five or five, the lord and others are all brave generals in the killing field, fierce generals, how can they be afraid, but they can't ......! ”
"Can't ......!"
Zhang Yuan suddenly came to his senses, and the things he kept experiencing made him forget his original point of view, the reason why Weishenme didn't leave the city, and the others also began to think about it, that is, the three young generals were also silent, and there was a little more thought, doubt, Han Fu and Meng Tan did not speak from beginning to end.
One is because of the problem of origin, although they have led an army of 1,000 people alone, but their status is lower than that of the old man of Xihe City and Zhang Ji, Xu Rong and other generals of a hundred battles, and it is precisely because they command an army that they do not have to accumulate meritorious services and make contributions like Ma Chong, Zhang Xiu, and Bi Feng.
Second, because they don't have much experience themselves, they are more inclined to listen and see more than to speak.
"Yes, no, you can't go out of the city until you have to! Because it was a victory, he killed all 100,000 people, but what could he do when he faced hundreds of thousands of people in the main force of the Yuan Dynasty? Once out of the city and winning, when Xihe City encounters difficulties again, the soldiers will definitely be unable to help but go out of the city to fight, the result? Bring about your own destruction! ”
"In that case, why do we need walls? What else do you want to defend the city? ”
The crows were silent, in Jia Xu's words, everyone was silent, and they couldn't help but think of the scene described by Jia Xu, only to find that there was such a big crisis hidden in the place that he and others had not seen.
Taking a breath, Jia Xu slowly said: "Actually, we have all ignored one point, the Western Han army has been gone for a long time, and it is not far from coming back!" ”
In a word, it sounded like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears.
"The army of the Western Han Dynasty, yes, we are not the focus here, the Western Han Dynasty is the focus, what if they pile up the earthen city? Ten days, ten days later, I am afraid that the Western Han army has already pulled out and retreated, and the cavalry will rush to the city wall, will we be afraid? ”
Everyone suddenly realized, the applause sounded, Jia Xu had never experienced this, for the first time, in the applause he felt an incomparable sense of achievement, which is greater than the usual advice, the sense of achievement brought by success, this is the feeling of being recognized, he began to like this place a little, like this kind of recognition, worship, appreciation of the gaze.
When the applause stopped and quieted down again, Zhang Yuanhan said with a smile: "Since Mr. Wenhe has said so much, I think everyone agrees with his words, okay, let's wait and see, but if you let the other party pile up the earthen wall, it will be too ignorant of my Xihe City?" I wonder if there is a general who would like to shoot with me? Lest the other party deceive me, there is no one in Xihe City! ”
"We are willing to shoot and hunt with the lord!" The generals stood up and answered loudly.
Although it is a matter of waiting and seeing, it does not mean that these generals can tolerate the other party facing the city wall under their noses, so they naturally have to have some expressions, otherwise they will retreat from these Yuan troops, and it will not become a joke to say that Xihe City will be said.
"Good!" Zhang Yuan said with a straight expression: "Then the people of Xihe City will have a hard time, and you will be appeased!" ”
