Chapter 637: Attacking the Heart

A big battle, easily take Ye Cheng.

Jiang Hao immediately ordered the army to enter the city, count the supplies, arrange accommodation, collect the grain and livestock of the people in the city, and then drive away thousands of Shache people directly.

Where to go?

Naturally, I rushed to Shache City.

With a few thousand more mouths, Shachecheng will only be more chaotic and burdensome.

In ancient wars, there were often city slaughterers, Jiang Hao did not slaughter the people, only drove them away, which was already the greatest mercy, so no one scolded Jiang Hao for those Shache people, but only said that the leader of the Han people was really a kind-hearted person.

Holy,

It turns out that happiness is really a contrast.

Yecheng is only thirty miles away from the Shache King, this distance, the cavalry only needs half an hour to run, it can be said that Jiang Hao's flag has been inserted into the throat of the Shache people, and it is still the kind of thick and long flagpole.

The Shache people must be uncomfortable.

Yecheng had already stockpiled some military rations and materials, and the Western Regions Coalition Army looted the grain, livestock, cattle and sheep of the people of Shache, which were enough for Jiang Hao's army to eat for two or three months.

Ye Cheng has become Jiang Hao's advance base for attacking Shache at this moment.

A few days later, after receiving a message from Shache City, Princess Di Linaza presented it to Jiang Hao, "This is the information sent back by the spy team. ”

Jiang Hao's drive away from Yecheng Shache people is naturally not only to snatch food and increase the burden of Shache City, but also to let a large number of spies blend into the fleeing crowd to enter Shache City and understand the situation of Shache.

In modern society, information and intelligence are the most important, and this is naturally the case in ancient times, a useful intelligence can often determine the outcome of a battle, and Jiang Hao has attached great importance to it since the beginning of the formation of the army.

And it is divided into two categories,

One is the real army scout, which is in charge of Cheng Yong, and the other is the secret spy, which was originally a dozen people selected by himself to act, and the scope of investigation also includes the internal situation of Jiang Hao's own army.

After all, the situation of his army personnel is too complicated and he has to be on guard.

Now that the Western Regions Alliance Army has been formed, Jiang Hao pays more attention to it, and the spy team is more and more developed, because the team is getting bigger and bigger, and Jiang Hao's affairs are increasing, Jiang Hao has handed over part of the spy network to Di Linaza to manage.

This girl is very smart, and through Jiang Hao's words and deeds, it didn't take long for her to master the intelligence network and become Jiang Hao's confidential secretary in the true sense.

After reading the information sent, a smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face, "Shache has asked Qiuzi for help, and 10 carrier pigeons are released in one day, it seems that Shache King is in a hurry." ”

Di Linaza also smiled, "King Shache was also forced by you, tens of thousands of troops pressed the border, occupied the second largest city, and could attack him at any time, he was naturally afraid all day long." ”

Jiang Hao hooked his finger at Di Lina, Princess Dina's big eyes blinked, knowing that the man had bad intentions, but he still walked over obediently, Jiang Hao's face slowly stretched over, close to Princess Dina's ear and said: "Watching the enemy being forced to jump to his feet, do you feel very happy now." ”

The breath blown out by Jiang Hao's words made the fluff in Princess Dina's ears flutter, Princess Dina felt that her ears were very itchy, and she shrunk her neck slightly, but the smile on her face became thicker and thicker.

"Yes, it's fun, waiting for the day when the general will put him in a cage."

"Hehe, it won't be long."

Princess Dina's neck was a little red, Jiang Hao's lips were getting closer and closer, she thought Jiang Hao was going to kiss herself, and her eyelashes flew up and down in fright, like a butterfly fluttering its wings.

But then, Jiang Hao walked sideways, opened the door, and instructed Jin Damao outside the door: "Gather the generals of all departments, just say that I have an action arrangement, come to the meeting quickly." ”

Princess Dina looked at Jiang Hao's back as he gradually moved away, and gritted her little silver teeth angrily.

When he came to the battle hall, all his subordinates had already arrived, Jiang Hao pointed to the map and said: "It seems that King Shache will not come to take the initiative to attack us, since he will not come out, then we will fight it." Now listen to my commands. ”

Crash!

Everyone stood up.

Jiang Hao said: "Yanqi 2,000 soldiers, Weili 2,000 soldiers, Shanguo 2,000 soldiers, Loulan 1,000 soldiers, a total of 7,000 people, with our soldiers to press Shache City." ”

The four princes immediately bowed down to answer the order.

"Border herdsmen, German herdsmen, you are neighbors in Khotan, you know the situation of Shache best, and you led 2,000 people under your command, as well as the remaining 1,000 people from other countries, to scatter and plunder the villages and towns around Shache."

"Remember, don't kill people at will, don't kill if you don't resist, rob their grain, cattle, sheep and livestock, and then drive them to Shache City, and transport all the looted materials back to Yecheng, we must be prepared for a long-term battle."

Bian Mu and De Mu immediately agreed, but Bian Mu asked: "Dadu Hu, drive away the Shache people, do you want them to be siege meat shields?" ”

The siege of the meat shield is to use the lives of the common people, forcing the king of Shache to open the city gate, in the ancient wars, especially in the war between the two races, this situation happened from time to time, and the Han people also had many precedents of being driven to call the city.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

"No, it's the Shache king who is guilty, not the people, I won't do that, drive all those Shache people to the city, just to let them enter the city, the more people, the less food in the city will be to eat, and the shorter the time to hold on."

"What if King Shache doesn't open the gates?" Someone asked.

Jiang Hao smiled faintly, "Then he will lose the hearts of the people, a king who has lost the hearts of the people, a king who is not supported by others, even if he sits on a mountain of gold, if the people's hearts are unstable, the army's morale will be unstable, and his demise will only be faster and more complete." ”

Jiang Hao's move can only be described in one word,

Injure!

It's too bad.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi, and the Biography of Ma Yan" has a cloud: The way to use soldiers is to attack the heart and attack the city. Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom.

......

Banners spread all over the sky, and the cavalry stretched out a long line, erected countless large flags, and lined up outside the Shache King's city, stopping two miles away from the city wall.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw this scene, they only felt a chill in their hearts.

The defending generals couldn't stop shuttling back and forth, ordering their soldiers to carry arrows and stones to prepare for the enemy's attack, and the king of Shache and a group of officials and generals also stood at the head of the city, frowning at the boundless enemy ranks in the distance.

"Do you think they're going to attack the city?" King Shache asked a general next to him.

How did the general know what the other party was going to do, "The lord of the country, I didn't see the enemy's engineers, and I didn't have siege equipment, so it's unlikely that the city will be attacked today." ”

Thundered!

A group of about 200 cavalry suddenly rushed out of the ranks of the Western Regions Alliance, rushing to a distance of 200 meters from the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

Whoosh~~

A rain of arrows struck, the defenders of the city were frightened, and they shot arrows to counterattack, and after a burst of random shooting from both sides, no one could help anyone, and the cavalry team quickly returned to the coalition team.

That's it?

King Shache was surprised by the enemy's attack, which was too child's play.

Boom~~, another cavalry team of two or three hundred people rushed out, and fired a volley at the city head again, the city head counterattacked, and the cavalry team ran away again.

This went back and forth several times, and the Shache people who defended the city were also surprised.

If you attack the city like this, you won't be able to conquer it in your life.

And then

When they saw that the enemy's ranks had begun to build pots and bury stoves, smoke rose from the cooking stoves.

That's it?

What's that?

After a meal, after eating for almost an hour, the cavalry rested, mounted their horses again, and the banner was waving in the wind, and they were more energetic than before.

One of the officials of Shache immediately laughed and said to King Shache: "My lord, the commander of the other party is a fool, he doesn't know how to attack a city at all, let alone how to fight, so we don't have to be afraid of him." ”

"Well, it is estimated that these people are some rabble, and my country has no worries." Someone else said.

However, some people disagreed with the statements of these two people, and the prime minister frowned and said: "I don't think so, the other party's coach must have a deep meaning in this move, I'm afraid, they still have a trick, we must be careful." ”

By this time it was already afternoon, and the Shache people watched the enemy eat, and they were already hungry, so the Shache king immediately ordered the soldiers to eat at the head of the city, and he and his ministers arranged for food in the battlements and began to eat.

But just after a few bites, a general defending the city rushed in and reported loudly: "Lord, it's not good, the enemy has driven a lot of our people, and they are almost under the city at this moment." ”

The king and the ministers were startled, immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and came out, stood at the head of the city and looked down, only to see a crowd walking in the distance, all the people wearing Shache clothes, the number was about two or three thousand, behind this group of people, there was a cavalry unhurriedly embellished.

It didn't take long for the people to run down the city, and the team was back in the ranks of the enemy.

When the people of the city saw the king at the head of the city, someone shouted, "Your Majesty, those people have robbed us of our grain, cattle and sheep, and I beg your majesty to open the gates of the city and take us in." ”

"Please, the king, let us go into the city."

The people below kept shouting, and for a time there were all kinds of mourning.

King Shache frowned, he is not stupid, what if these people are allowed to enter the city, what if the enemy rushes in when the city gate is opened, besides, so many people, how much food is needed, now there is not much food in Shache City, and the four or five thousand people who escaped from Yecheng before have already made Shache City feel pressure.

"What do you think we should do?" Shache King asked.

At this time, a voice said: "Lord, you can't open the city gate, this is the enemy's conspiracy." ”

"Yes, you can't open the city!"

These two people who spoke were the two foolish officials just now.

The prime minister looked at the people under the city who could not stop pleading, and said: "Your Majesty, the enemy is two miles away, even if you open the city gate and let them in, the enemy will not be able to catch up. ”

"What if the enemy takes advantage of the opportunity?"

"Put so many people in, how can we raise them, there are enough people in the city, and the current food is estimated to only last until the eldest prince sends troops to rescue, and we can't afford to raise more people."

"Yes, this is also the enemy's poisonous plan, to eat us!"

These two fools, not all stupid, can still see through this.

The prime minister's face was angry, and he said: "But is it the best policy to let your people go, it will inevitably damage Your Majesty's reputation." ”

"What's the matter, as long as the eldest prince sends troops over to fight away the enemy, these people will naturally understand, and they are afraid that they will not succeed." One of the two fools said.

Everyone looked at King Shache.

King Shache frowned and looked at the people outside the city, and after a long while, he slowly shook his head and said, "No one can open the city gate, this is my king's command." ”
