Vol 4 Chapter 2841: Advancing the army and solidly discussing the defense

A look of dissatisfaction or disapproval flashed across many people’s faces. Liu Yu saw all of this clearly, and it seemed that they could see their hearts at once: Jinuge is too exaggerated, on the city’s offensive and defensive wars. If our Beifu army is second in the world, who would dare to claim to be number one?
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It seems that everyone does not agree with me."
Shen Linzi couldn't help but said, "Marshal, if you want to say that the Huren cavalry is fierce and the field battle is fierce, it is really not said, even if the battle of Linqu, if it is not under your command, we will use the big cart to guard the two wings, and then move away. If you come to fight them head-on, I’m afraid you will also be at a disadvantage, but now it’s siege. Hu people are good at riding and shooting, but not good at defending the city. The fact that the infantry is engaged in battle is also very obvious in this battle. And the city’s offensive and defensive, Cavalry is not needed. It is because of my strength and the shortness of attacking the enemy. Even if Guanggu is much stronger than Linqu, if we take advantage of the unstable footing of the enemy and the people’s heart is shaken, we will attack with all our strength and we will attack in one fell swoop. Still very sure. I don't know why the Marshal lacks confidence in this?"
Xiang Mi hooked the corner of her mouth: "Linzi, don't talk nonsense, sister-in-law is in the city, if we are so eager to attack, do we want her to die? If we want to fight, we must first rescue the sister-in-law, otherwise..."
Liu Yu waved his hand and prevented Xiang Mi from continuing to say: "I just said that this is a war between the country and the country. No one's personal affairs can affect this battle. Don't say it is Alan who is the princess of Yan Kingdom. , Even if my mother and daughter are in the city, they can’t stop the siege. If it’s like Lin Zi said, let the enemy reinforce the city with a slow-down strategy, then it will drag on for a day and a half, which means there may be hundreds of thousands. The soldiers died because of it, how could the lives of one or two relatives be rewarded?"
Xiang Mi's face changed: "But, but that is Sister Lan, our sister-in-law, is it really..."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Being selfless in front of national affairs, it was her choice to leave me and return to Nan Yan, and the moment I let her go, she was also prepared for this mentality. Human origin cannot be chosen. Even if she turns to ashes, she is still a descendant of the Murong clan. I am ready to fight her life and death on the battlefield with her. If no one from Nan Yan takes the initiative to negotiate with her, then we will not hesitate to follow the siege plan. Come, no one can stop us for a while, even Murong Lan. Did you hear clearly?"
All the generals gritted their teeth and saluted together: "Yes!"
Liu Yu nodded and continued: "My place is not as optimistic as you are, not because of Murong Lan, but because of the art of war itself. Murong's Yan army is very strong in combat effectiveness and fighting will. We are in Linqu for this. During the battle, I also realized that the strength of an army depends not only on their performance when they charge and fall into the battle, but also on their performance when they are defeated. Everyone said that the Yan army in the battle of Linqu was a strong enemy?"
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "Defeat without being defeated, and broke out. In the end, general Duan Hui stayed behind to fight to death, and died together with more than a thousand soldiers under his command. No one surrendered. Even the enemy must admit. This is a very powerful army. Its combat power and will are the only things we have seen since joining the army. Probably, only the dead men of Huanzhen and the fanatics of demons can compare with it."
Zhuge Changmin said with lingering fear: "Yes, especially the black robe, and finally ran away on the flying monster. A lot of our brothers were killed along the way. It is really terrifying, I heard from Brother Ji Nu. , This bone is really hard to chew."
Yu Qiujin raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid it might not be true. They fought to survive in Linqu. The troops have not been dispersed yet, and the emperor is still there. But now after retreating, knowing how miserable the defeat was, it might be. If they still have morale, they should reorganize the army, take advantage of the cavalry, and go out of the city to fight forever with us. At least, they must set up camps to squabble with each other, and they really want to besiege us. There are so many people in the city, and more of them. With more than 200,000 people, even if we do not attack the city, we will be trapped to death by him!"
Sun Chu immediately nodded and said: "I agree with Xiao Guizi. If Guanggu has only tens of thousands of troops, it can really be defended, but now there are hundreds of thousands of people, and their cattle and sheep cannot be brought into the city as rations. , Then as long as he trapped him for a month or two, and the food in the city is exhausted, we can only surrender. Now we only need to advance to Guanggu City quickly, besiege and not attack, we can win.
Liu Yu said calmly: "Besiege and not attack, then how many people do we need to besiege?"
The corner of Sun's mouth was hooked: "Before we sent troops, we had discussed with the military that Guanggu City is not big, and it is surrounded by camps and siege. One hundred thousand people are enough. Now we have sixty thousand soldiers and horses, and soon there will be places in Qingzhou. The Han Chinese and Ding Zhuang came to defect and use their manpower to set up camps to dig trenches and build long siege to trap Guanggu City."
Liu Yu shook his head: "There are still more than 100,000 Yan troops in Guanggu City, and there are no lack of cavalry. We besieged the city before destroying their main force. What if they suddenly attack from one side? Can they be trapped? Shi? Hu Wei Guanggu, Murong Ke Wei Guanggu, that is because the main forces of Cao Yi and Duan Ni have been almost wiped out in the field before, so that they are unable to break through, but this time, we have not reached such a level, UU看书www If .uukanshu.com really wants to go to Guanggu, they have a variety of options, they can send troops to field battles, they can camp outside the city, or they can stay in the baby city, and wait for the veterans of our army division and veterans to attack with strong iron cavalry. No matter which option , We don’t have an inevitable solution, and the outcome is still unpredictable."
Shen Tianzi sighed: "Then is there no way to conquer Guanggu? Or, is it possible to stubbornly stand outside Guanggu City and divide troops to attack other places so that Guanggu has only one isolated city?"
Liu Yu hooked his mouth: "This method is feasible, but it is not very useful. Back then, Huanwen attacked Guanzhong, and it was the same. There was only an isolated city in Chang'an, but it was not captured. When he retreated, all the prefectures and counties that surrendered to him before fell again. To the former Qin."
"This is the same in Qingzhou. If we retreat, all the places we have will fall into the enemy's hands. We will attack other places regardless of our forces. It makes no difference. They will definitely surrender us in name, but they will not really obey us. The rule and management of China still depends on whether we can conquer Guanggu."
"However, it is possible for Pilu Daoxiu and them to go to various places to promote our army's great victory in Linqu, and tell the Han people everywhere that the army is besieging Linqu, revenge and hate, and the opportunity to serve Dajin's loyalty has arrived. In this way, you can let People from all over the world are turning to us, there are grains to provide food, and some to provide people, which greatly increases the manpower of our army!"
