Chapter 608: Lai San'er's "naïve" strategy
Fan Wencheng smiled slightly, "The grain and grass in Zunhua City can't last for many days. As long as we continue to besiege the city, then the Ming army has only two roads. The first is that Qin Shuhuai made a desperate attempt to attack the Santun camp and open up the road to aid Zunhua. However, the Santun camp is guarded by my 34,000 elites, and Qin Shuhuai has the ability to reach the sky, so don't think about taking it. Second, Yuan Chonghuan waited for reinforcements for a long time and did not come, so he had to lead his troops to break through the siege, and once he left the city, with the strength of our army, as long as the arrangements were properly arranged, he would definitely be able to defeat his 50,000 soldiers and horses! Therefore, no matter which road it was, it would be a dead end for the Ming army. ”
Huang Taiji groaned and said, "What does Mr. mean, let's continue to besiege the city with the same change?"
Fan Wencheng said with great certainty, "That's right, continue to besiege the city and see who can't hold their breath first!"
Huang Taiji frowned again and said, "What Mr. said is indeed reasonable. It's just that our army is running out of food and grass now, so what should we do?"
"Great Khan, Zunhua City is a dead city, so it can't get food and grass. And our army is outside the city, as long as we are willing to look for it, how can we really run out of food?"
Huang Taiji seemed to understand something, but still asked unconvinced, "What does Sir mean?"
Fan Wencheng said lightly, "Our army has captured more than 10 cities and dozens of villages and counties, if we go to collect grain 'carefully', will there really be no food? ”
After listening to Huang Taiji, a playful smile appeared on his face - Fan Wencheng's suggestion, to put it bluntly, was to let him go to the occupied land to grab grain, but it was just a nice thing to say.
The reason why Huang Taiji was not convinced before was that he did not expect such a suggestion to come out of the mouth of a Han person. To be honest, he had thought about this idea, but in view of the series of problems caused by the previous and later Jin's wanton looting among the Han Chinese, he had never been willing to make up his mind. Moreover, before he set off, he himself said to the people below that he was not allowed to rob the people without authorization, and now that he has changed his ways, isn't he slapping himself in the face?
However, he never expected that this Han man's heart was even more ruthless than himself.
If the army really sets out to occupy the areas and ask for grain from house to house, it will inevitably be a situation where corpses are everywhere! According to past experience, as long as such an order is issued, the destruction of the doors and the slaughter of villages will inevitably emerge one after another -- this is completely different from his previous order to collect grain from only large and rich households!
And this Han man is instigating himself to do this order.
It's a real ...... Perhaps, it's time for him to join the flag, he is more like a flag man than most of our flag men!
Fan Wencheng continued to say casually, "No matter what method is used, as long as our army can raise grain and grass, our army will win this battle against the wall! Great Khan, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Huang Taiji took a deep breath and said, "What Mr. Fan said was so beautiful that it made Ben Khan mouth suddenly!
Night, Qian'an County Yanei.
Qin Shuhuai, Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Lai San'er, Zhang Xiao, Zhiren, Wang Datong and others gathered together to discuss the next move of the army.
Since tasting the sweetness in Baoji, now Qin Shuhuai likes to let the generals of the Ming army and martial arts people hold meetings together, these people have their own methods, and they can always collide with surprising sparks.
However, as for how to attack the Santun camp, everyone has been discussing for two hours, and they still have not been able to come up with a plan that can be unanimously approved by everyone.
The comparison of the strength of the two sides is there, and now the Ming army and these horses go to fight the Santun camp, and no matter how they fight, they are destined to be unpleasant.
There was really no way, Qin Shuhuai took advantage of everyone's rest, quietly pulled Tang Sanniang aside, and asked her if she still had any poison in her hand, such as the "Thousand Poisons Gu Xuanzhong" used last time.
Tang Sanniang was embarrassed and said that the "Thousand Poisons and Ten Thousand Gu Xuanzhong" had been used almost last time, and now the remaining ones can poison up to one hundred and eighty people. And she didn't bring many other poisons from the Tang Sect, all of which were used for self-defense, and could not be used to kill Tartars in batches.
Qin Shuhuai was unwilling, and asked her if she could refine some here. Tang Sanniang shook her head and told him that the main materials of the Tang Sect's poison were only available in Xiangxi and the Western Regions, and they would never be procured here.
Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and even said that he was just asking casually.
Hehe, just ask.
Tang Sanniang also replied with a "hehe".
Qin Shuhuai returned to his seat and felt that one head and two were big.
Yuan Chonghuan is still waiting for himself to save him, but it can be seen from yesterday's battle that there is still a certain gap between the combat strength of the martial arts alliance army and the Tartars, and it is basically impossible to use these 42,000 people to capture the Santun camp. Even if it is defeated, it is estimated that most of the casualties will be killed, so it's a fart!
Can we directly bypass the Santun camp and go to Zunhua? This is even more suspenseful. The Santun camp is on the way to move to Zunhua! So many people want to quietly bypass the Santun camp, unless the Tartars are blind. At that time, they only need one tailgating, and then Huang Taiji will send another 10,000 people to intercept in front, and they will fight at both ends, and they will finish the game.
If you want to bypass the Santun camp, you have to go over the mountains and mountains. Not to mention that crossing the mountains is to exhaust one's own soldiers, it is impossible to accept the fact that you have to abandon your horses and baggage before entering the mountains. If you don't have cavalry, you want to fight with the Tartars, what about making trouble? If you don't have heavy grain and grass, you want to save Zunhua, so what about playing?
At this time, I suddenly heard a person shouting, "If we can't beat the Santun camp, we won't fight! Is there only one way to go to Zunhua?"
Everyone fell silent all at once.
looked for prestige, but saw that it was Lai San'er who said it.
Just now, everyone's discussion was in full swing, and Lai San'er couldn't interject all the time, so he shouted out such a sentence when he was in a hurry.
The first reaction of the crowd was that it was naïve.
If you don't go to Zunhua from Santunying, then there is only one other way, that is, from Jizhou to Zunhua through Shimen Village. Don't forget that Shimenzhai is also in the hands of the Tartars, and Malanyu and other places to the north of Shimenzhai are also Tartar territory, so the Tartars will have no soldiers there?
However, because Lai San'er was Qin Shuhuai's henchman, everyone didn't have a direct seizure, only Wang Datong and Zhiren smiled.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Xiao heard this, he said, "What Lord Lai Xiang said is not a way. ”
Qin Shuhuai could habitually ignore Lai San'er's "bad idea", but he couldn't ignore Zhang Xiao's opinion, so he asked, "Old Zhang, tell me about it." ”
Zhang Xiao stood up and said, "Master Hou, everyone, let's think about it, is the Tartar like us now, and also thinks that we will attack the Santun camp? At present, we have preliminarily determined that the Tartars have about 1450,000 elite troops entering the wall, and now they have lost 20,000 in Zunhua, 30,000 in Qian'an, and nearly 10,000 lone troops in Yongping, in fact, they only have about 100,000 troops to call on. The last general thought that in order to prevent us from saving Zunhua, the Tartars would at least send 30,000 to 40,000 troops to the Santun camp, so that they would have 60,000 or 70,000 left. If there are 30,000 people in Zunhua, then how many tens of thousands of elites can they have near Shimen Village?
As soon as Zhang Xiao said this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Now there are only 30,000 or 40,000 Tartar soldiers who are uncertain about their location, and these soldiers must set aside a part of the passes to guard the wall, such as Da'ankou, etc., and some soldiers have to guard more important towns, so there are really not many Tartar soldiers who can stay near Shimen Village!
