Chapter 19 Advance into Imore
Chapter 19 Advance to Imore
Zhao Gu's face was a little ugly when he came to the city: "According to the calculation after approaching, those tribes are no more than 4,000 people, maybe nearly 5,000, and every time they come back from grazing, more people will always come back!"
Su Yong smiled and said, "I know." Unexpectedly, the Yanmeng people, who have always been known for their fierceness, have also played the game of boiling frogs in warm water. It's really rare!
Chu Nantian and Xiao Changfeng were a little worried: "At present, the soldiers are not well injured. This is troublesome!" These are not the wild geese who fled hungry. It depends on the cattle and sheep of those tribes, and they also know how well prepared they are. If they really want to fight with the leading troops of these thousands of people, it is really uncertain who chases and fights them.
And the civilians in the city are now deterred by their troops and will not make trouble. Who knows if they will stab them in the back once there is a war? Although there are many women and children, Yanmeng is fierce in nature and can't be cruel. After all, this is in their territory.
"If you can't fight if you don't recover from your injury, you can only go." Su Yong nodded and said, "They didn't launch an attack because they still need to go to other tribes and cities to transfer troops. The soldiers can't arrive so soon. We don't have much time left. Tell everyone to prepare food immediately, hunch the food that the sunset can take away to the horse, and don't leave them with anything useful!"
"Go?" Chu Nantian was a little confused: "Where are you going? Go back?" There have been several days to go back. Even if there are enough rations, I'm afraid it's inevitable for the other party to catch up. It's a replay of the war a few days ago, but the two sides of the chase and the escape are changed roles.
Xiao Changfeng was silent for a long time and sighed: "We don't have a mass foundation in this lonely city. I'm afraid we won't last long, so we can only do this."
Looking at everyone's unwillingness, Su Yong smiled: "Hey! Did I say I wanted to go back?
Looking at the stunned faces of the crowd, Su Yong smiled and said, "Think about it, Imore is only 20,000 defenders, and they are all women's troops, and these tribes are all men. Where do they come from?"
"That's naturally transferred from other cities and tribes!" Sun Shangwu said.
Su Yong nodded and said, "Yes, it is precisely because other cities and tribes are different from here that they came back and forth... But since they have transferred most of the soldiers who can be mobilized, will the defense in other places be very strict?"
Chu Nantian has understood at this time: "Do you mean to leave here and attack other cities and big tribes?"
Xiao Changfeng patted his big hand and said, "Yes, since they are all in a hurry, other places must be empty. We just hit him unprepared... At that time, the front will get further and more open, and turn their brigade around!"
Su Yong laughed and said, "Don't forget that our original purpose was to beat the Yanmeng people to the heart, so that they would always remember this pain... not to occupy such an east city as them!" The longer it takes, the more painful the Yanmeng people will naturally be. Don't say that they can't organize troops to attack Yanlong in a short time. Even if they want to recover, they don't know how many years to wait.
How can you attack other countries when your country is in chaos?
Sun Shangwu's eyes lit up and said, "At present, the closest thing to Dongcheng is Nancheng. At this moment, most of the leading troops must have come from Nancheng, and Nancheng is less than a thousand miles away from here. We can bypass the west and go straight to the south end, which is only more than a day."
Everyone also nodded repeatedly, feeling that it would definitely work if they suddenly attacked Nancheng.
However, Su Yong shook his head.
"You mean to hit the North City? Although Beicheng is only slightly farther than Nancheng, the reinforcements who come halfway are likely to meet..." Zhao Gu pondered on the map. The terrain in the north is relatively flat, which is a main route on the grassland.
Su Yong still shook his head. Seeing everyone peeping at each other, he smiled and said, "Since they are all rushing here, the vigilance everywhere will definitely be relaxed. Why don't we go straight to the point and take Imore?"
"But Imore has 20,000 magnolia troops!" Sun Shangwu was shocked and said, "We two thousand disabled soldiers rushed there. Aren't we looking for death?"
Both including Chu Nantian and Xiao Changfeng nodded, and their eyes were a little puzzled when they looked at him. If the army recovers, it goes without saying that they will take Yimore directly, but now...
"It's because we haven't recovered yet. They didn't expect that we would attack Imall!" Su Yong's face was solemn: "Once we leave here, they will definitely find that at that time, whether it is the north of Nancheng, they will definitely take a shortcut to support! Because they just came out of it, who doesn't worry about their relatives being hurt? So maybe before we attack, the reinforcements have arrived, which will put us in a dilemma!"
"But Imall is different. There are 20,000 magnolia troops there." Su Yong looked at everyone: "These vanguard troops won't worry so much! And... Most importantly, even if Imor learned the news, he thought that their vanguard had driven us away. He would not have thought that we would dare to attack the capital and die!"
Everyone couldn't help nodding and marveled. However, Chu Nantian is still worried: "But as the capital city, the city is high and popular. Even if we sneak up, I'm afraid we don't have a high chance of winning."
"I can only fight!" Su Yong gritted his teeth and said, "If you fight other places, although you can grab it, you will also kill the enemy a thousand and lose 800 yuan. Sooner or later, you will be polished by them!" But Imall is different. As long as we succeed in the surprise attack and catch the royal family and so on, we will have bargaining chips. Even if they don't give in, we will die well and go in vain!"
"Of course, if you can catch the Yanmeng Khan or the prince, even if you fight to the last few people, you will win!" Su Yong's face showed a strange look: "I know it's a little crazy, but the Yanmeng City is not as strong as our Yanlong. The strength and height are much different. It is still possible for us to break through the city and attack the palace without the other party's defense!"
Thinking of killing Imore and the palace, this group of war maniacs immediately cheered up, with fierce eyes and drooling.
Although Su Yong's words are ordinary, the truth in it is clearly visible. According to this situation, it is really a little sure to break through Imore. When everyone thinks that they can kill Yanmengdu City, their blood has already been boiling, not to mention breaking through Imoir and entering the Yanmeng Palace?
At this moment, Xiao Changfeng was the first to clap fiercely and said, "Yes, attack Imore! Even if it's worth it! Who has been able to attack Yanmeng Capital for thousands of years? I didn't expect that I, Xiao Changfeng, also had a share! I agree with Brother Su's plan!"
Chu Nantian blushed: "You remember I said that if you can hit Imore, you will die!"
Except for a few generals who were known for their caution and did not make a statement, others nodded in favor of it, so the plan was adopted.
"Good! Let's bring enough rations, prepare the fastest horses, and leave here in the early morning! Go around the west and go south, then turn to the middle and go straight to Imore!"
"What about here?" Zhao Gu suddenly asked.
Only then did everyone remember that there are still 6,000 prisoners here, as well as abundant grain and fodder. If they are rushed in by the enemy, how much trouble will these prisoners bring to themselves in the future?
Su Yong frowned and walked back and forth. He looked at everyone's faces several times and found that Chu Xiao and the two always avoided it inadvertently. He couldn't help sighing secretly. The bad guys still wanted me to do it!
Just do it, no poison, no husband! I'm afraid of a bird. Is there less life under me?
He finally hummed: "Prick some grass people on the head of the city, put on the clothes of the deceased brother to fool the enemy; pick out the best war horses, and kill the rest! Bring all the rations you can bring, and the rest are piled together. Set the time to burn with candles!" When the candle burns to a certain position, the bound oil rope will burn, leading to a fire... This is the time bomb during the cold weapon period.
"Where are the prisoners?" Zhao Gu took a look at him and asked in horror.
Su Yong gritted his teeth and said, "The rest of the grain is piled up around the cell!"
Xiao Changfeng and Chu Nantian couldn't help shivering and couldn't help sighing together. Although human life is like grass in troubled times, all countries have a consensus that they should not kill prisoners of war.
It's just that there are endless troubles after letting the tiger go back to the mountain! They all know that this is a last resort, but... if you want to give this order by yourself, can you do it yourself?
Killing 6,000 prisoners with a fire. This fierce name can't be afforded by everyone!
And how much and how long will this fire bring pain in the hearts of wild geese?
