"MD, it's okay if our own people don't cooperate, and the enemy doesn't cooperate either. As our camp is so casual and lax, won't the enemy attack the camp directly?" As soon as it dawned in the morning, Linton
Started complaining again.
This place is not far from Yongjin City, otherwise Ma Mingyang's troops would not have felt this way so quickly.
I heard from the soldiers of Yongjin City who were captured here that there are still thousands of troops in Yongjin City now.
Now that so many people are running back, the generals staying behind in Yongjincheng must know the situation. So they didn't choose to attack the camp overnight?
Linton said, isn't it a normal operation to attack at night while the enemy's foothold is not stable? Yesterday, he saw that these prisoners were useless, and Linton began to hope that these enemies could provide some strength and give him a chance to turn the tide.
As a result, nothing happened throughout the night. Seeing that the soldiers on our side were resting and full of energy, they had already started cooking, and still no enemy came to attack the camp.
To be honest, Linton could not wait to send a secret letter to the city lord of Yongjin City over there, asking them to come and attack the camp here.
"Dianmao!" Linton, who was unhappy, decided to let everyone accompany him. The main reason was that the opportunity cost was too much. Linton had to pretend to be able to get back his money. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the poem he didn't read?
Woolen cloth.
"Attack the city?" When all the generals who came to the camp heard Linton's arrangement, they suddenly felt bad. Because Linton's order was to set off immediately and directly attack Yongjin City.
"But...but Prince Consort, with our current strength, it is impossible to capture Yongjin City." A general couldn't help but said. Even though most generals now worship Linton, but in the face of this kind of
There was obviously something wrong with the order, but they couldn't help but want to ask what was going on.
"Prince-in-law, our current strength is only about 1,200." Dong Ping here is still relatively calm, but his tone is also admonishing Linton, "According to the intelligence we know, there are at least 3,000 in Yongjin City.
The city's defenders, and a large number of soldiers who had previously fled back to Yongjin City, should have fled back to Yongjin City. Counting these remnants, it is estimated that there are still four to five thousand troops, so there are at least about seven to eight thousand defenders in the entire Yongjin City.
City soldiers, according to our strength..."
"Consort, if nothing else, we don't have any siege equipment." Another general next to him, whose name Linton couldn't name, said, "Our current army can be said to be an all-cavalry force. There is no engineering team at all. This cavalry
Siege the city..."
Of course, these generals are all knowledgeable about military affairs. Although there is no summary statement like Sun Tzu's Art of War such as surrounding an enemy ten times, attacking it five times, and fighting it twice, everyone can draw similar conclusions based on their experience.
For a city as strong as Yongjincheng, it is another matter whether it can be attacked with more than twice the force. It is estimated that many generals here will choose to attack the city if it is more than five times the force. But the current situation is completely the other way around. The opponent defends the city.
The number of people is six or seven times theirs, how can we still attack the city?
No matter how much they trusted Linton, of course they would still question such a weird order. With the number of troops they had now, it was good luck that they didn't go out directly to find them and annihilate them. Linton even ordered them to take the initiative to join forces.
Now they all think that the general who is guarding the city is not aware of their real situation, so they dare not attack them. But now that these cavalry have really been pulled under the city, once the opponent sees their situation clearly, they will not come out to attack them directly.
That's weird.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Linton was not only not angry, but also quite satisfied. Why do you have to do it yourself when you can both win the battle? Do you know how valuable the words "turning the tide" are?
Given the current situation, even if we win directly and automatically, we have to be reasonable. With 1,200 cavalry attacking the city, Linton really can't think of how to win in a normal way. This doesn't mean he has to cheat on his own, right?
With a "bang" sound, Linton slammed the table, and the several generals who were arguing immediately fell silent.
"Why are you arguing? What you said makes so much sense. Why don't you come and lead the troops? It's not that I look down on you, but if you could fight, would the Tianfeng Kingdom still be the territory it is now?" Linton waved his hand and said, "What am I doing?
Level, what is your level, don’t you know it yourself?”
"..." A group of generals just lowered their heads, and no one refuted.
"You think you can't win because of your level. If I say yes, then that's okay." Linton said forcefully, "In short, we will raise troops now and attack Yongjincheng. I still say what I said, believe in me and follow up. Now
Set off!"
"Yes, Prince Consort." Although Linton didn't say anything useful, and he didn't reveal his so-called "plan" at all. But unexpectedly, these generals really accepted the order, and no one continued.
An objection was raised.
So the troops quickly prepared and set off again. The more than 3,000 prisoners who had just been captured were sent away again. Linton casually pointed out the way for them to go north, and did not send anyone to watch them, and did not care whether they were
It's not like he will escape back to Yongjin City.
As for his own side, he gathered together a force of more than 1,200 people, all of them cavalry. He took the supplies he had just grabbed and quickly broke out of camp and rushed towards Yongjin City.
What Linton didn't know at this time was that Yongjin City was already in chaos.
As for why there was such chaos, the main reason was naturally related to Linton.
Just last night, a large number of fleeing soldiers had fled back to Yongjin City, and naturally they brought back all the news from the front line.
These broken troops not only included the soldiers who had gone out to support before, but also some of the soldiers brought out by Ma Tianyong. In short, they brought back the results of several battles.
All 60,000 troops were defeated, and only a few thousand people escaped. Not to mention all the military equipment and equipment were lost, and more importantly...all the people named Ma were killed.
Yes, not only the front line, but also information from Tianfeng City. After all, Xiao Qingqing hacked Ma Yixiong to death in front of all the guests. The news must not be sealed, and it has only now reached Yongjin City.
It's already too late.
The lord of the city, Ma Yixiong, was killed, and all three of his legitimate sons were also killed. Suddenly, the sky of the Ma family collapsed.
Just when everyone in the city was still confused by such earth-shattering news, a turmoil over the issue of inheritance suddenly broke out.
The cause of this turmoil was not a problem within the Ma family first, but from two other large families in Yongjincheng, the Tian family and the Yu family.
