Li Hu's deputy general smiled broadly at this time. In his opinion, the rebels in Shuzhou were already stretched thin.
Firearms are not stones, so how can they withstand such use?
This is simply a sign of frustration.
Moreover, the roar of firearms is getting smaller and smaller now, as if there are not enough firearms.
The reason why Zhao State couldn't defeat Shuzhou was because Shuzhou had the advantage of firearms?
Once the advantages of firearms are gone, what will they use to fight with?
Moreover, they are already physically and mentally exhausted from the continuous siege. It can be said that now is a good time for them to fight back!
However, the deputy general's plan was rejected by Li Hu.
Shuzhou was able to destroy Shezhao, which shows that Shuzhou's army is definitely a tenacious army. The current situation is probably a deliberate show of weakness to the enemy.
The only thing that doesn't match up is the military expenditure.
This is too lavish.
As a result, conflicts arose between the generals and their subordinates.
The generals below all felt that this was a good opportunity to make achievements. As long as they could defeat Shuzhou's army, they could make achievements. Maybe they could even get a title, so that they could join the ranks of nobles.
Got it!
It's a pity that at this time, their general is still determined to defend and will never attack if he can.
Of course, their general may not be able to attack at all.
The battles that passed through his hands were all defensive battles.
Siege?
Not once!
However, even though the city they were guarding had been reinforced and accumulated for more than half a year, they could barely hold it.
Many places were even destroyed by the explosion.
Many of the soldiers guarding the city wall lost their bunkers.
Even the city gate was crumbling but luckily it was saved. On the opposite side, not only did the thunderbolts seem to be almost exhausted, but the morale of the soldiers seemed to be getting more and more chaotic.
If the other party can still pour out enough firearms for another month or two, they may be forced to fight in the streets.
The other side is simply desperate.
In the handsome tent outside the city
Xin Honggao looked at Zhao Huaiyi and asked: "How much of our Zhentian Lei stock is left?"
Zhao Huaiyi said: "For this plan, half of our Zhentian Lei inventory has been lost. This is the first city! It was originally planned to destroy half of the Zhao Kingdom! The military advisor is really wealthy."
Xin Honggao sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can't let go of our children and we can't trap the wolf. If we go head-to-head with them, the loss will be too great. The military advisor has said that we do not have an advantage in numbers. Our
Human life is more precious than Zhao State, and we cannot afford to enter a quagmire like street fighting."
Jiang Hong, who was acting as a combat consultant next to the sand table, said: "It's a pity that they are not Shezhao. Few people in Shezhao have a city. Even if they have a city, they will fight openly. What kind of hero is hiding in the city and being a coward?"
?”
Xin Honggao looked at Jiang Hong with indescribable eyes: "Are you criticizing Sang and Huai?"
Isn't that right? When Jiang Hong led an army of 200,000 to attack Shuzhou, they did not have enough troops and could only stand in the city and wait for opportunities.
It can be said that Jiang Hong, the commander-in-chief of the first army at the time, was so angry that he scratched his head and was helpless.
Now that he has abandoned his secret position and surrendered to the army, he is still not honest enough to say a few words when he seizes the opportunity.
The commander-in-chief originally asked you to come here as a staff officer, but now this staff officer is completely insulting!
Believe it or not, I will give you little shoes!
Jiang Hong just raised his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm telling the truth."
Zhao Huaiyi couldn't stand Jiang Hong's expression: "What's the air of a traitor?!"
Jiang Hong said: "It's not the same as you."
Zhao Huaiyi; "..."
Xin Honggao waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Send someone as an envoy to the city to persuade the people inside, especially to remind Li Hu not to talk nonsense in the battle report. Although I
I feel like the emperor won’t believe it either.”
The emperor always only believes in his own judgment, and everyone here in Shuzhou can rest assured.
In the past, the Emperor of Zhao had no characteristics and just listened to advice. After reading two military books, the current Emperor of Zhao felt that he was the best in the world, so he believed in himself.
It is a miracle that the Zhao State has delayed until now to show signs of subjugation.
The old Song family saved the Central Plains in their previous life, right?
Can Guo Zuo continue to this day with just such a brain?
It's almost like the components are emitting smoke.
Zhao Huaiyi immediately raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Hong: "He! Let him go!"
Jiang Hong, who was looking at the sand table, was slightly stunned: "Why am I the only one going? As soon as I surrendered, I came from the opposite side. You sent me back?"
Zhao Huaiyi said: "You said that you haven't achieved anything at all so far, you don't even have a certificate of nomination, and you can't come up with an idea after thinking for a long time. It's still the military adviser who made the decision. If you don't do more work, what's the point?
Are you like this? Shouldn’t you submit a petition?”
Jiang Hong stopped talking when he heard this.
Xin Honggao coughed and said: "I have thought about it. It seems that among the three of us, you are the one who understands the world the best. I think you were the most open-minded in the officialdom at the beginning. This position must belong to you."
Jiang Hong looked at these two shameless men, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it a try."
Xin Honggao came over and patted Jiang Hong on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, if the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed. Zhao Guo knows etiquette best. I guarantee that your life will not be in any danger."
Jiang Hong rolled his eyes at Xin Honggao and said: "Of course I know, I have a relationship with Li Hu, and he won't do anything to me, but have you ever thought about how embarrassing it would be for a surrendered person to go back and meet his former colleagues? I think Lao Zhao
He is very good."
Zhao Huaiyi: "Look at what you said, it's as if you won't be embarrassed when you go back with me."
Jiang Hong: "Why are you embarrassed? The most you did in Zhao State was a guard guarding the remote city of Shuzhou. Do they know you? You are still embarrassed..."
To put it bluntly, you used to be a junior official and don't deserve to be embarrassed.
Xin Hong and I are senior officials, so we should be embarrassed.
Zhao Huaiyi looked at Xin Honggao: "He puts a knife in my heart every time he speaks. Do you call this human nature?"
Xin Honggao coughed and smoothed things over: "Anyway, think about it, now that you are on the side of the rebels, you can give full play to your role. So what if Jiang Hong was the third rank of the imperial court before? Now you still have to suppress him?"
Zhao Huaiyi nodded and said, "That's right. Regardless of the bravery of a good man in the past, I am also a dignified deputy commander now."
Jiang Hong looked at Zhao Huaiyi and continued to stab him mercilessly: "You call this a handsome face with freckles?"
Obviously, Jiang Hong, who was not willing to be suppressed by the young man Zhao Huaiyi, continued to mock him mercilessly.
Zhao Huaiyi, who had just become arrogant, once again looked at Xin Honggao eagerly: "Marshal, look at him..."
