Taking Beiguang and Guangping, Ruan Tian did not feel that he was smooth sailing, years of conquest had already honed his style of using soldiers, that is, cautious and iron-blooded, in his estimate, if the information obtained was correct, this Ming army from the Ming country, about 10,000 people, not to mention that it may not be possible to have such a large number of Ming troops to Dayue, just these more than 10,000 people, are all veterans after the battlefield battle, in his heart, they have been separated from those local chickens and dogs in Zhenla, The Zhenla people are a mess of mud that can't support the city wall, and he can bully them wantonly, but in the face of the Ming people, his cautious style naturally came out again.
He plans to end this war with three or five thousand casualties, yes, this is already the result of his high opinion of the other party, and the Ming people are not suitable for direct conflict now, but it does not mean that the Ming people do not covet Da Yue, these so-called remnant armies, may really be the remnants of the army, but it may also be the Ming people encroach on the pawns of Da Yue, which is also one of the reasons why once he ended the war in Zhenla, he immediately waved his army over, next, there must be a big war with the Zheng clan in the north, if it is at this time, The Ming people were making trouble in their own backyards, which was obviously a trouble for Dayue's great cause.
Such casualties are still in his bearing, and in his plan, the Ming army of more than 10,000 people cannot all be defeated and killed, and those surviving soldiers will not be so unacceptable if they are filled into the army.
However, on the first day of the war, the Ming people gave him a blow to the head, which is the result of his cautious use of troops, if he is arrogant, once the army has been established, he will immediately attack the city in an all-round way, with the sharp firearms of the Ming army, this casualty, I am afraid that it is not the two thousand soldiers, which makes him vigilant and happy, immediately changed his strategy, and the frontal hard attack may be able to take the city, but, at that price, I am afraid that he himself feels pain.
Lost in the first battle, someone must be responsible, this responsibility obviously can't let the wise and martial he be responsible, Ruan Yu is a good scapegoat, although in his heart, knowing that this matter is all counted on Ruan Yu's head, it is a little wronged by his own nephew, after all, including him, these generals under his command have never taken the firearms of the Ming people as a thing, they have not seen firearms, and there are firearms sold directly to them by the Ming army in the Zhenla army, and they are not the same as they were beaten to the ground.
In front of the sharp steel knives and the soldiers who are not afraid of death, these flashy firearms can only be like the swords around the generals of the Ming Kingdom, although they are all made by clever craftsmen, and they are also extremely sharp killing weapons, but they are really not enough to see when they are used to fight.
Unexpectedly, he put a little pressure on Ruan Yu, and this guy was very well-behaved to recognize this scapegoat, which is not counting, he actually offered a good plan.
He didn't think that he would not be able to think of this strategy, but in all fairness, if he fought in Zhenla, such a strategy, he would definitely think of it, but this is in his own land, if he does this, although he will eliminate these Ming troops, but the people of Dayue in the city will almost be finished, Ruan Tian is a little brutal, but his cruelty is not against his own people.
This matter is left to Ruan Yu to do, he also asks about the progress every day, perhaps, such a method, used as a last-minute can also play a good effect, he comforted himself like this, if there is a way to solve those firearms in the city, this strategy of flooding the city, if you can not use it, you don't need it, but if it can't be solved, then it's no wonder that he doesn't have much time to fight with these Ming people here for three or five months.
In the spacious tent, Ruan Yu silently looked at the topographical map in front of him, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, he didn't look back, he knew that it was the subordinate he sent to the city last night to come back to ask for guilt.
"Poof" someone knelt heavily behind him, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard clearly.
He didn't look back, still thinking about his thoughts.
After a long time, he turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the general who was kneeling on the ground covered in blood: "How many have you brought back, and how many Ming people's firearms have been destroyed?"
"Tell the marshal, less than fifty people have come back, the firearms of the Ming people, the firearms of the Ming people, we haven't touched them" The general lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head.
"Last night, Mingren's firearms didn't fire, and you were looking for Mingren's weak defense to get close, and now you tell me, just like the night before, you didn't even look at the shadow of the opponent's firearms."
"Dashuai, our brother once killed the city, but there was no firearm planted by the Ming people on the city" The general shouted with a crying voice: "The Ming people have long known that we are coming, and the heavy soldiers are guarding there, and my brother is unjustly killed."
"Whether the death is unjust or not, I have the final say" Ruan Tian frowned, a little impatient: "In the past three days, how much has your subordinate soldiers and horses been damaged, I asked about the soldiers who can no longer fight" "I folded two captains, almost more than a thousand people" The general replied tremblingly: "Marshal, this style of play is not good, our soldiers are all elite in a hundred battles, it is really not worth wasting here" Ruan Tian shook his head and did not answer his words, and there was silence in the big tent.
"You're right, this battle is not fought like this" Ruan Tian has always seen that the general is a little hairy, and then he slowly said: "You go down to rest, tonight, you don't need to steal the city" did not get the expected punishment, the general seemed to be a little surprised, raised his head, saw Ruan Tian fell into deep thought again, stood up a little overjoyed, and retreated, Ruan Tian waved his hand, just as if he didn't see him.
A quarter of an hour later, Ruan Tian's big tent came from his voice: "Let Ruan Yu come to see me" After an hour of "bastard", Ruan Tian slapped the table fiercely in the big tent: "Life and death are unknown, our people were attacked by the Ming army, Ruan Yu's life and death are unknown, where did the Ming army come from outside the city, they are all cowering in the city, Hugh has to say these words that will destroy his own prestige."
"Dashuai, General Ruan Yu, I really can't find it" A personal soldier whispered in his ear: "The men and horses under his command were killed and scattered hundreds of people, I found a few defeated soldiers and asked, it was indeed the Ming army with firearms that attacked them, and in the past few days, this small group of Ming troops has been harassing them, and there are casualties every day, but General Ruan Yu has not reported to the marshal."
"No one is heard, no corpse is dead," Ruan Tian asked with a frown.
The pro-soldier nodded, his eyebrows locked tighter: "Then what he is doing now, who is doing it, the main general is not there, and the deputy general is not on top?"
"No, when the lieutenant heard about the attack, he was too frightened to leave our camp" The soldier explained: "It was the remnants of the army that retreated from the siege on the first day, and the commander couldn't expect them to be bold."
"Behead the deputy general, show the public in front of the battle" Ruan Tian glanced at his own soldiers: "I'll give you another 3,000 people, you take over Ruan Yu to do this, don't care about the harassing Ming army, dig the embankment as soon as possible to the extent that it can divert water at any time, two days is enough" "The marshal said enough, that is sure to be enough" The face of the pro-soldier was happy, and he was released before the battle, and as soon as he was released, he commanded nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, which was a good thing that most of Ruan Tian's personal guards could not think of "That's okay" Ruan Tian pulled a piece of paper, wrote a military order, and handed it to his own soldiers: "Go and do it quickly, I just have one request, be fast" When it was almost dark, Ruan Yu found that he had returned to the place where he had set out in the morning, daring to wander around in this mountain forest for a long time, and sleeping for a long time, these Ming troops still had to come back here, he felt a little strange in his heart, his soldiers had been planned by them, and even he was captured by them, what are these Ming soldiers doing here, if he expected it to be right, if the prince did not pay attention to his offer, then, there would be no more soldiers here to start work, The Ming people used this method to dismantle his plot at no cost, but if the prince paid attention to his offer, then the Dayue soldiers and horses who came to this place again would not be the hundreds of people before him, there is no doubt that there is a lesson from his own past, and if the battalion intends to continue the work he did not complete, then there will definitely be heavy troops stationed here, then, the Ming army of less than twenty people, even if the firearms in their hands are powerful, in the case of heavy troops, they will attack and harass again, I'm afraid it's just killing myself Sure enough, as he expected, far away from the mountains and forests by the river, he could hear the noise of the riverside was simply earth-shattering, and when he walked to the situation where he could see the riverside, Ruan Yu's eyes were almost about to see the flowers, the place where he stayed yesterday by the river, bright as day, countless torches and lanterns, simply illuminated these meticulously, probably it was his experience that reminded the reason who was later sent here, before the night fell, these soldiers and horses prepared enough firewood, torches, if anyone sneaked up to attack them, I'm afraid there is no hope at all.
This is not counting, there are not only many fires below, but also enough people, and he has enough experience in leading troops, but after a cursory glance, he knows that there will be no less than 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed below, and these 3,000 soldiers and horses are all guarding against the enemy, patrolling, and guarding the hundreds of people on the embankment to dig the embankment, transport soil and other work.
"Tsk" looked at the Ming general not far away shaking his head, with a stupid look on his face, Ruan Yu felt faintly happy in his heart, how powerful are your firearms, I'm afraid that at this time, I don't even dare to let it go, this firearm thinks about it, I'm afraid that it is the time of your demise, it seems that the Ming people have a saying, called one force to break ten meetings, when there is enough strength, other trails can only be crushed in front of strength, now you are blind.
"Young master, this Da Yue thief is not dead, there are enough five thousand people here, even if we kill one with one bullet, we can't kill them all" A personal soldier beside Sun Yulin muttered with a strange face, "There are fires lit everywhere, this is obviously to prevent us, tonight, I'm afraid it's not easy to start."
"You're wrong" Sun Yulin turned his head and pulled back, commanded his own soldiers, and cleared a clearing in the forest, "First, there are at most two or three thousand people below, and some of them are only responsible for the work, second, we don't have to kill them all, even if we kill them so one or two percent, these people will cry and shout for their lives one by one, we can't fight anymore, the lord once said, has been soldiers and horses, if in the frontal battle, the casualties are not broken up by thirty percent, that is a strong army, I don't think these shrimp soldiers and crabs of the Da Yue people will be a first-class strong army."
"Third," he raised his last finger, "and the most critical point, when did I say that I was going to start tonight, young master, look at their virtue, this work can't be finished tonight, let's just watch them work on this side, they haven't finished it, what do we do?"
"It's also" The pro-soldier nodded suddenly in realization, and automatically ignored the two points that Sun Yulin said before: "The young master said that he would wait for Lord Lin's order before attacking them, and break the embankment to release water."
"Nonsense, don't help set up a tent yet, it's so cold at night, we can't freeze here all night" Sun Yulin scolded with a smile: "Set up a tent and arrange for everyone to take turns to keep vigil, by the way, the prisoner is good, tie it to the tree over there, well, the mouth is also blocked" When Lin Wushuang left, the supplementary ammunition and food left behind were packed in several big bags, carried by the pro-soldiers, however, there was a bag that was carried by the pro-soldiers who had been by Sun Yulin's side, and the simple tent and sleeping bag that had been set up in the open space at the moment were also taken out of this bag, and the pro-soldiers thought that this was the accommodation specially prepared by Lord Lin for their young master, they didn't know that at the bottom of this bag, there were rows of things called gunpowder in their cognition, If the guy who has been carrying the bag knows that this bag contains this kind of thing that can break him to pieces at any time, he must care more about this bag than he cares about Sun Yulin during the day.
With Sun Yulin's manpower, even if the embankment that has been dug is occupied in a short period of time, but it is easy to open an opening and there are no casualties, I am afraid that it is not a simple thing, so Lin Wushuang is very considerate to prepare some "gunpowder" for Sun Yulin, at this time, so Sun Yulin is enough to understand the function of this gunpowder, the only thing that is a little troublesome is that Lin Wushuang taught Sun Yulin how to detonate these things, and the two muttered together for a long time in the morning, in addition to reaching a consensus, Half of the time was spent on it.
When Sun Yulin walked into the tent, he saw half of the bag that had been deflated, and he was also a little worried, according to Lin Wushuang, the things in this bag, even if the Dayue people were not able to complete the task of digging up the embankment at that time, these things could blow up a big gap in the embankment, could it be that he really wanted to sleep with such a dangerous thing tonight Also, when Lin Wushuang left in the morning, he didn't say that the Dayue people were so frustrated that they sent so many people to guard, If you really can't take the embankment of the Dayue people, you can still break the embankment when you receive the order. aa2705221 t1706231537:
