One hundred and eight, the battle situation is stalemate
After Zhu Qinghong issued the order, Yuanyou immediately notified people to convene a meeting. The decision was made: Li Yixian, Chu Nanbo, and Wei Zhou took charge of the expedition.
Yuanyou was appointed as the supervisor to accompany him.
Wei Xuanyu prepares grain and grass. Dong Siqing and Dong Sishuang guard Tianchong City to prevent accidents.
There are three people in charge of this battle, and the military orders issued must be confirmed and approved by Yuanyou.
If you act without authorization, please refer to this book.
With food and grass ready, the army set out. After setting up camp, they soon had disagreements.
Intelligence showed that the enemy was not strong, so Li Yixian and Chu Nanbo thought they could divide the army into three and attack three countries respectively.
Yuanyou disagreed: "The most taboo thing on the battlefield is to underestimate the enemy's carelessness."
He advocated attacking the city with all his strength, one city at a time, without any rush. The two tried to persuade them for a long time to no avail, so they had no choice but to obey orders.
Before attacking the city, clear away the nearby demons.
The three men from Weizhou led the troops, opened the road and placed the orbs to ensure that they would not be attacked from both sides.
While cleaning up the monsters, a group of soldiers picked up a man. The man's face was completely disfigured, scarred, and he was dying. His clothes were like rags, and his hair was like straw.
The soldiers discussed and rescued the man and reported it to the superior. The doctor went to treat him and save his life.
"A single person, seriously injured in the wild and still alive?" Yuanyou was a little curious, who has such tenacious vitality?
The man was rescued and he was unconscious for two days before waking up.
Yuanyou heard the news and came to visit: "You are seriously injured and it is not appropriate to get up."
The man looked around and nodded his thanks.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yuanyou called the doctor: "Could it be that his throat is also injured?"
"My throat is not injured at all. It's just that the high fever has just subsided, and my throat is dry and it's difficult to make a sound. I'll be fine in a few days."
Yuanyou nodded and asked the doctor to take good care of him. The doctor sent him respectfully and then went to boil the medicine.
The man lying on the clean bed felt unreal. He should have died, but he always stood on the edge of death but still tried his best to crawl towards the world.
He deserves to die, but he doesn’t want to die.
Under the care of doctors, the man recovered for a few days and was able to get out of bed and walk. He was helped out and allowed to breathe fresh air.
The warm sunshine feels like a world away.
As expected, life is the best for people. The patrolling soldiers passed by and greeted the doctors.
The man was not at all uncomfortable in the barracks. He walked around and came to Yuanyou's tent.
Soldiers on duty blocked the road.
The doctor asked to go in and report.
After a while, the soldiers came out and invited them in.
In the camp, the food on the table was not touched, and Yuanyou was still writing official documents. When the two came in, he didn't even raise his head: "Sit down."
"Master Yuan, Master Yuan, what are you waiting for if you don't attack the city?" Chu Nanbo, young and energetic, came in with Li Yixian.
The doctor had just helped the man sit down and said dissatisfiedly: "What a shame. How dare you do it in front of His Majesty?"
Of course I don’t dare.
Chu Nanbo and Li Yixian saluted and apologized.
Yuan You smiled and put down his pen: "No problem. We already know the situation in the enemy's city. If we don't attack them, they will be in chaos. Please note that the test question for your trip is, small price, big gain."
Wei Zhou opened the curtain and walked over: "Sorry, I didn't stop them. Young people want to prove themselves through military exploits."
Yuanyou nodded: "I understand. But your ability to take charge in this battle is proof. You have many competitors."
Chu Nanbo and Li Yixian bowed their heads in embarrassment.
Pushing the official document aside, Yuanyou looked at the man: "Please tell me your surname, Mr. Gao."
"Xiao Shixing." The man replied.
The soldiers in the barracks always obey the strong. This person is called "Sir", which shows that he is a civil servant.
It is extraordinary for a civil servant to be respected by the officers and soldiers. Not only is he respected, but he treats them obediently.
"You came just in time. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's use it together." Yuanyou called people in and handed over more food.
Wei Zhou and the others sat down.
Chu Nanbo was unwilling to accept it: "We have been besieging but not attacking, waiting for them to surrender?"
"Your Majesty's attack on the Shanyue Alliance is approaching. It must be a big war. It's a pity that we are not qualified to follow." Li Yixian regretted.
Having used weapon boxes, they naturally looked down on power props. They wanted to climb up, but there was no chance.
"Your Majesty is strategizing and will definitely achieve a complete victory." Yuanyou admires Your Majesty and feels that nothing in the world can stop him from conquering the world.
Xiao Shixing lowered his eyes, Shanyue Alliance.
It's a tough nut, and it can be defeated even if it's said to be an attack.
When the food was served, they chatted while eating. The doctor reminded them to pay attention to their diet, and Xiao Shixing nodded in agreement.
After dinner, Xiao Shixing, accompanied by the doctor, visited every corner of the barracks.
Regardless of the spirit of the soldiers or the supply of food and grass, it all shows that this is a good army. They are proud to be soldiers, respect His Majesty, and cherish the food.
When Xiao Shixing could walk on his own, doctors would no longer accompany him. He was very envious, envious of these people's simple and warm hearts.
"You are not ready yet. An order has been passed down from above to start attacking the city in an hour. If the time is delayed, be careful of military law."
Xiao Shixing, who was sitting in a corner in a daze, heard these words and saw the soldiers running away in a hurry. He got up and followed him, wanting to see if he could win this battle.
The soldiers gathered and stood in line.
Wei Zhou and the other three spoke one after another to boost morale.
Yuanyou stood aside with a smile. He was just supervising the army, and there was no need to appear at this time. When it is their turn to be in the limelight, let them be in the limelight.
After mobilization, set off.
Wei Zhou led the three men on horseback, followed by cavalry, infantry, shield bearers, archers, etc.
When the soldiers went out, the barracks suddenly became much empty. Xiao Shixing walked over and saluted: "Master Yuan, are you not going with the army?"
"I am the supervisor of the army. I will not go to the battlefield unless necessary." Yuanyou said rudely and turned back to the camp.
Just a supervisor?
Xiao Shixing frowned, feeling that things were not simple. The soldiers respected Master Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.
Set off in the morning and received good news in the afternoon.
Winning was a given, so Yuanyou asked about the casualties. He frowned when he learned the number of people.
After returning from the great victory, Wei Zhou and the other two happily held a celebration banquet. Yuanyou didn't say anything and only asked about the specific situation after the banquet was over.
It turned out that their attack on the city went smoothly, so they relaxed their vigilance for a while. Unexpectedly, someone pretended to surrender, and several people were killed in a sneak attack.
Yuan You's face darkened: "The battle report has been handed in, what do you think of His Majesty? The enemy is not strong, and the battle is like this, how can we keep up with His Majesty's pace? Chu Nanbo, Li Yixian, do you still want to be the Twelve Guards?
Is this your record?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The two of them lowered their heads and said nothing.
The previous joy is gone.
Yuanyou sighed: "I'll give you a chance and see how you perform."
They bowed and saluted. After resting for a few days, the army headed towards the second goal.
Everyone learned from the previous lessons and won this battle happily, with no one dying.
Although there were injured people, they were all flesh wounds. Then, they headed to the third target.
This time they encountered strong resistance. The opponent had talented generals and acted treacherously. Even if they were defending the city, they could play tricks to make them unsure of the specific situation in the city.
After five days, the battle situation became stalemate. Yuanyou had a headache, and the loss of manpower and material resources would outweigh the gain.
The city wall is like a high mountain, difficult to cross.
He was worried, and Xiao Shixing was outside asking for a meeting.
Yuanyou asked people to come in. At this time, Xiao Shixing was in much better health, with a tall and straight posture, and a certain demeanor.
He saluted: "Master Yuan has a sad look on his face and his appetite is less than usual. But is it because of the attack on the city?"
Yuanyou nodded: "Normally, the opponent's number is smaller than ours, and they have been surrounded for a while, so their momentum should be low. But on the contrary, they don't know what is supporting them, they firmly believe that they will win. The casualties have increased, and too much material resources have been invested, I'm afraid..."<
/p>
"Lord Yuan, do you want to retreat?" Xiao Shixing's face was scarred with scars, and it was not as ferocious as before, "The reason why you are in a dilemma is because the other party sees your intention. Attacking three countries one after another is enough for people to collect
News."
That's right. Yuanyou is helpless, they exposed too much information. The other party may have seen their true intention, so they tried their best to delay it.
Xiao Shixing continued: "In the first two battles, you deliberately reduced casualties. The people on the opposite side are very smart and can see through your weaknesses. Even if there are not many soldiers in the city, they can create a sea of people. Even if they are destined to lose, they will fight until the last moment."<
/p>
Yuanyou shook his head, they couldn't afford it.
His Majesty will be held accountable for excessive losses. The three generals are all to blame, and he cannot blame them alone.
The opponent racked their brains to buy time and kill more people, forcing them to retreat. It must be said that this move was very successful.
"Master Yuan, don't worry. We are not at the end of the road. I have a method, sir. Are you willing to listen?" Xiao Shixing's eyes were firm.
"Sir, just say it. If it is really useful, Yuan will be grateful." Yuan You stood up and bowed deeply.
Xiao Shixing hurriedly helped the man up: "I can't. Master Yuan, this method requires you to come forward. You will enter the city as the peace envoy. As long as you enter the city, you will have a clear view of the situation in the city. They cannot refuse the peace talks. If they refuse, it means that the general has no power.
Brain."
It was a wonderful move to go to the city as a peace envoy to gather information. Yuanyou nodded: "I will try my best."
Xiao Shixing smiled and said nothing. Master Yuan's ability was clearly seen in one incident. Was it his tongue that persuaded the enemy to surrender, or was it his force that forced him to surrender?
I hope Lord Yuan will not disappoint him. After all, Lord Yuan is the right-hand minister of the Yunhong Dynasty.
The next day.
Yuanyou sent people to the city gate and shouted: "Our army is interested in peace talks. If you are willing, we will send envoys into the city."
The other party asked the envoy how many people there were and what their identities were.
Our army replied: The two of them are the supervisors in the army.
The soldiers on the city wall immediately went back to report and received a quick reply. They agreed to peace talks and opened the city gate to welcome the envoy after noon.
In the tent.
Yuanyou tied up his cloak: "You don't have to worry, I have Brother No. 1 with me. Everything will be fine."
"How can you not be worried? If the city is not captured, Your Majesty will at most give you a few harsh words. If anything happens to you, we will die to apologize."
"Master Yuan, why take such a risk? If they want to delay, we will delay. There is enough food, and we are not afraid of delaying."
Shaking his head, Yuan You said helplessly: "The casualties in this battle have exceeded expectations, and it will be very unfavorable to continue to drag it on. The victory or defeat on the battlefield is small, but your Majesty is disappointed in you. I'm afraid that in anger, your Majesty will remove you from the election for the Twelve Guards."
Qualifications."
He understands His Majesty better than anyone else. He will reward those who have merit and punish those who are guilty. She knows best what kind of punishment can make people miserable.
The two young people have a bright future and cannot compromise on trivial matters. Yuanyou turned to look at No. 1: "Brother No. 1, please."
No. 1 said nothing and stood with his head bowed. Several soldiers helped him put on a cloak and a hat to cover his face.
