Chapter 1895: The dilemma of Yanjing offensive and defensive battle (4)
Chapter 1893: The dilemma of Yanjing offensive and defensive battle (4)
Like Li Guang''s son Li Gan, Su Qingjie, Su Baotong, Su Baofeng and Su Jinlian are also hidden figures of the special Baizhao Card and are still implanted into Su Dingfang''s children.
Among the four people including Su Baofeng, except for Su Qingjie who is a official historical figure, the other three are all romantic characters and are all children of Su Dingfang, so it is natural that they are also implanted into Su Dingfang''s children.
But Su Dingfang is only in his thirties now, and he is not old. It can be seen that Su Baofeng and the other four are underage.
With Qin Hao''s order, the dispute over the position of command between Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui came to an end.
Originally, the three armies of Su Xue and Lu were all taking their own actions, but after Su Dingfang took office as the chief general, he immediately unified the three armies, allowing the 70,000 Qin troops to work **** one place, rather than attacking each other.
On the first night after the determination of the main general, Su Dingfang summoned Xue Rengui, Lu Bu, Sun Lingming, Li Hongzhang and other generals to hold a meeting to discuss how to capture the strong city of Yanjing.
"The walls in Yanjing City are three zhang high and one zhang five feet thick. There are more than 400 catapults, three thousand crossbows, more than 10,000 powerful crossbows, and 30,000 defenders..."
Before Su Dingfang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Hongzhang''s words.
"Well, Marshal Su, your intelligence is behind."
Hearing this, Su Dingfang''s eyes flashed with surprise, and then he showed relief.
Li Hongzhang came from Youbeiping. His news comes from the lord, and the lord''s news comes from the Black Ice Platform, so it is faster than the frontline intelligence.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Hongzhang smiled indifferently and said, "Just an hour ago, I received a letter from Fei Ge from the Black Ice Platform."
Everyone suddenly felt energetic, and Sun Lingming asked quickly, "What did Feige say in the letter?"
Li Hongzhang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Su Dingfang. He said, "Liu Che issued a conscript order to integrate the soldiers of the aristocratic families in the city into an army, and gained another ten thousand defenders."
"What?"
Sun Lingming and Lu Bu exclaimed together.
The city of Yanjing, which has 30,000 defenders, is not easy to fight. Now there is another 10,000 more, so it will definitely be more difficult to break the city.
"The Youzhou family actually sent troops to help Liu Che? They are crazy. Are you not afraid of our army settled the score later?" Xue Rengui frowned.
The Qin army''s revenge against the aristocratic families in Jizhou must have greatly shocked the Youzhou family. Under such circumstances, the Youzhou family dares to help Liu Che? Is this really not afraid of death?
Su Dingfang had read the information and said lightly: "It''s not that they are not afraid of our army''s settlement in the future, but they have no choice at all."
As he said that, Su Dingfang handed the information in his hand to Xue Rengui. After Xue Rengui looked at it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Crazy, crazy, what do Liu Che want to do? I would rather die than let us live?" Xue Rengui said angrily.
Lu Bu and Sun Lingming showed doubts.
Although it is difficult to fight Yanjing, which has 40,000 defenders, with the current strength of the Qin army, it can still be defeated after making certain sacrifices.
Li Hongzhang immediately explained: "Liu Che has a very high prestige in Yanjing. He easily mobilized 60,000 strong men to help defend the city, and there were also 100,000 people to help transport supplies."
"What?"
Sun Lingming and Lu Bu exclaimed together, the news was really surprising.
This shows that Yanjing City has been completely integrated by Liu Che. The whole city is united and wants to conquer Yanjing. They are not only facing the Han army, but also the 200,000 people in Yanjing.
"It''s not easy to fight in Yanjing City now." Lu Bu murmured to himself. Liu Che defended the city with 40,000 defenders and the people of the whole city. If the Qin army forcibly broke the city, even if it could eventually occupy Yanjing, there would probably be no more than 70,000 left. Yanjing, the first city in Youzhou, would be destroyed by war.
Yanjing City is not easy to fight, but the Qin army has to fight.
Liu Che''s various measures have shown his determination to die rather than surrender, and there is no way to do anything except for a strong attack.
If you can attack for a strong force, you will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them.
This is a dilemma.
After clarifying everything, Xue Rengui was a little lucky that he was not the main general of this battle, otherwise he would have to make a decision in this dilemma. But looking at Su Dingfang''s entangled expression, he knew that he was also in distress at this moment.
After a long silence, Su Dingfang raised his head and asked, "Mr. Li, how many secret spies our army has in Yanjing City? Can we open the city gate from the inside?"
“Impossible.”
Li Hongzhang shook his head: "In addition to recruiting soldiers from aristocratic families and inciting the people of the city, Liu Che also confiscated the food from the city and distributed food on a daily basis.
Now the Han army''s control over Yanjing has reached an unprecedented level. There are only 300 black ice spies in our army in the city, and it is impossible to disrupt it from the inside.
not to mention…"
At this point, Li Hongzhang stopped, and Su Dingfang hurriedly asked, "What''s more?"
"What''s more, the Black Ice Spy in the city has been wiped out. The information just now is the last information sent back by the Black Ice Spy."
As he said that, Li Hongzhang raised three fingers and said, "Before the entire army was wiped out, the 137 carrier pigeons were released by the Black Ice Secret Pigeon to death, but only three of them flew back smoothly, and the rest were shot down by the Han army."
Hearing this, Su Dingfang was silent. It was not that the Black Ice Platform was not strong, but that Liu Che''s anti-espionage efforts were too high.
This shows that Liu Che''s control over Yanjing is so strong that it is no wonder that the Youzhou family did not even dare to resist, so they handed over the clan soldiers and food.
The 300 secret spies in Yanjing City also mean that they cannot disintegrate the Han army from within. Now, there is only one way left to break through Yanjing, that is, a strong attack.
"Supervisor Su, our army can arrange this."
Lu Bu stood up and said, "Our army can concentrate its forces to attack a city wall, and the last general, General Xue Li and General Sun will all personally participate in the attack.
The generals that Yanjing can fight are only Xue Gang and his son. But even if they join forces, they can only block one of the three of us at most. The other two can quickly expand the results of the battle, allowing more soldiers to climb the city tower and minimize casualties as much as possible. ”
Lu Bu''s method is to quickly and quickly capture the city by relying on the individual force of the powerful generals. He and Xue Rengui used this method to quickly occupy Guangyang and the military capital.
Su Dingfang shook his head, "General Fengxian, there are 400 catapults and 3,000 bed crossbows in Yanjing City. If you look so powerful, you will never have the chance to climb the city tower."
Lu Bu showed doubt, why didn’t he have the chance to climb the city tower?
Seeing this, Sun Lingming immediately told Lu Bu and others about the experience of him defeating him in Guangping City by Li Ling using the crossbow stone tactic.
