Chapter 416 Night Talk on the City Head about Military Planes
At night, Shouchun, the city head.
Liu Yu sat on a Hu bed, looking at the dark battlefield outside the city. In the Qin army camp more than ten miles away, sorrow and music mixed with crying came down the wind, although he could not understand the language of the Hu people.
, but he could hear the sadness and fear in it. He knew that this was the Qin army doing rituals to summon the souls of the soldiers who died in the day. After talking to Murong Nan about the reincarnation of Buddhism, he suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
, today I heard the melodious sound of Hujia and Qiang flute in the enemy camp, and my heart actually fluctuated a little.
Murong Nan's voice came from behind Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, what's wrong with you, are you sad?"
Liu Yu sighed softly: "It's nothing, I just felt a sense of compassion suddenly. You are right, these Qin army soldiers also have their own families, wives, children, and parents. Now that they are dead, their families will be so sad.
I hope there will be no more wars and no more deaths in their afterlife."
Having said this, Liu Yu stood up and looked back at Murong Nan: "Brother Murong, you should be guarding the granary of the Governor's Mansion now. Why are you here?"
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "I asked Barry Hei and the others to patrol in shifts. I have already taken shifts in the afternoon. Now it is my time to rest. Why, I gave up rest and came to visit you. Isn't it okay?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Of course, it's just that I'm more worried about the granary now. After you left, I received a message from Feiying outside the city. Hu Bin's 5,000 troops have been stationed in Luojian, fifty miles south of the city.
The camp was set up, and Xuan Shuai's Beifu Army was also ready to go. General Xuan Shuai Tuohu conveyed to us that he supported our decision to stay in Shouchun and would do his best to rescue us. I think if he knew
I will definitely be happier with today’s battle situation.”
A trace of panic flashed in Murong Nan's eyes, and he looked at the Qin army camp in the distance with bright lights: "Liu Yu, there is something I haven't asked you. This time you stay in Shouchun, what do you really think?
What? Do you want to be a hero again, defend Shouchun City, and then get further promotion in the army?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Murong, why do you think of me like this? I have never been so utilitarian. There are only two reasons why I stayed in Shouchun. One is that Shouchun cannot be lost. This is related to the victory of the entire Qin-Jin war.
Yes, it takes time to assemble the Beifu army and collect grain and grass, so the purpose of the marriage is to buy time so that Huan Yi can invest his troops and defend here for more than a month, have you forgotten?"
Murong Nan gritted his teeth: "But Huan Yi did not send reinforcements because of the failure of the marriage. In this case, you can leave completely. Why would you put yourself in such a dangerous situation?"
Liu Yu did not answer immediately. He pointed to the city in front of him, and then pointed to the city behind him, and said: "This is the reason why I stayed. First, Shouchun City, as an important town in Huainan and the front line of the Anti-Qin Dynasty, has been guarding the city for many years.
The city's fortifications, food and fodder are well stocked. Even if our army is short of troops, we can still resist with this strong city. Moreover, Shouchun City is not big and does not require too many troops to defend. With the current strength of thousands of troops
, enough to hold off the enemy for at least a month."
"As for the people in this city, they are all locals. They have their family property and inheritance in the city. If we, as soldiers, retreat without fighting and leave their life savings here, how can we bear it? See,
Is it true? They retreated all the way from Pengcheng, Huaibei, leaving behind all their family property. Every step back, resentment and anger will accumulate. If these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians retreat all the way south, even if they reach Guangling, they will fail and attack.
The depressed mood even affects the morale of the Beifu Army. This must never happen."
Murong Nan nodded: "So, you think Shouchun can and must be defended. This battle must be fought, so you want to stay?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Exactly, I have the confidence to defend Shouchun City. In fact, the most important thing in defending the city is the morale of the army. If we unite as one, there is nothing we can't do. This war has also proved this,
Now as long as we don't have internal chaos and guard against fire attacks, I'm completely confident that we can defend Shouchun for a month!"
Murong Nan sighed: "Even if you hold on for a month, what about one month later? Will reinforcements definitely come?"
Liu Yu's expression changed: "Murong, what do you mean? The reinforcements have arrived outside the city. In a month, the main force of the army will come here as planned to fight the enemy decisively. There will be no changes."
Murong Nan shook his head: "Liu Yu, don't think too well of others. We are all soft-spoken. To put it bluntly, we are all chess pieces in other people's hands. Even Xie Xuan, if he judges that this is not the best place for a decisive battle, he will
I will never lead an army to come for reinforcements just because you are alone. After all, if you come, it will be a decisive battle!"
Liu Yu nodded and said sternly: "We are here to drag down the main force of the Qin army and create the most favorable opportunity for the army to fight decisively. If we can hold on for a month and repel the Qin army's attack, we can
To achieve this goal, Commander Xuan supported our choice and did not ask us to break out or give up. He would not harm me, I am very sure of this."
Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu and sighed: "What if the Qin army stops attacking the city and instead besieges it? What if the main force of the Qin army rests behind and only these 50,000 Qin troops come to attack the city?"
Liu Yu's heart suddenly moved. He had not seriously considered this issue. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said: "No, the Qin army will use the Di army as the vanguard this time to quickly conquer Shouchun."
This was sent to the hundreds of thousands of foreign soldiers behind, letting them see the hope and benefits of destroying the Jin Dynasty. From the offensive and defensive battles during the day, we can see that they used all their strength, using almost all siege methods, and the losses were also
It's very tragic. The thousands of elites we eliminated today cannot be exchanged for the Qin army even with 100,000 foreign conscripts. Even if they want revenge, they will not stop!"
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "This is just like Aipu. If you lose a lot in the past, there is a kind of person who will get jealous of losing and put all his chips on it, hoping to make a comeback. But another kind of person will
He is much more rational. He will stop in time to avoid losing more, or in other words, slowly press small chips several times to find the feeling, and then take action when there is an opportunity. Liu Yu, I heard that you were good at gambling in the past.
Zhidao, you should be familiar with what I’m talking about.”
Liu Yu curled his lips and said: "But I just said that this battle is for soldiers of other races. It is a battle for momentum. If we stop under Shouchun City, those who have been recruited will
, the foreign soldiers who are unwilling to join the army will lose their military morale and be unwilling to fight, which will only cause greater harm to the Qin army."
