Chapter 171 Go for War

For Xing Tianjun, it is not easy after two days. Although they carried relatively sufficient ammunition and grain on this expedition, they don't know when they will return to the jurisdiction to receive replenishment again in this battle. The grain can be replenished by people without money along the way, but the ammunition, Xing Tian The army is self-contained, and the projectile can be made with the military craftsmen. However, in addition to the seizure, gunpowder can only rely on their own production. What's more, even if the captured gunpowder is mostly of poor quality or powdered gunpowder, it is not as powerful as the kind of granular gunpowder made by Xing Tianjun himself. Luo Li led his troops to attack Huang Degong's camp, not for two days. Ke, the consumption of gunpowder is not small. If you can't conquer Huang Degong's camp on the third day, the officers and soldiers in Nanyang are likely to rush to this side to help, and then they may form a situation where they are attacked by the enemy.

Xiao Tianjian sat in the big tent, and his expression did not look serious. He smiled at the generals and said, "You don't have to be discouraged. Today, Huang Degong's camp is already shaky, and Sun Yingyuan didn't do anything after the afternoon!" Go to bed early today and keep an eye on Sun Yingyuan. Don't let him attack again at night. If you work harder tomorrow, Huang Degong will be able to take it!"

Luo Li said angrily, "Marshal! The inferior position is incompetent. The marshal narrowly wins the Huang Degong camp for three days, but he has not been able to enter his camp for two consecutive days. How about leading his troops to a night attack on Huang Degong at the end of tonight? I guess the soldiers under the command of Huang Degong are already exhausted now! When you can break it through all night!"

Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "We were a little surprised by Huang Degong's performance this time. It seems that this man is beginning to be good at controlling troops!" After two consecutive days of fighting, our soldiers have also worked quite hard, and Huang Degong will be ready to deal with the night attack. Even the night attack may not really be able to take his camp. It's better to let the soldiers have a rest tonight, and it's not too late to fight tomorrow!"

At this time, a scout Pegasus ran back to the camp and was quickly brought to the big tent by the guard. When he saw Xiao Tianjian, he reported loudly: "Report to the general! We searched to the east this afternoon and found that an officer was coming to Runing Mansion from Xiangcheng, with a force of about 2,000 troops, more than 30 miles away from here! I rushed back overnight to report to the marshal, please make a final order!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said, "I know, you have worked hard. Go down and rest. In addition, keep an eye on the officers and soldiers on this road and report at any time!"

"It seems that our fight against Runing Mansion still affects all kinds of officers and soldiers! The officers and soldiers on this road must have been dispatched by Kaifeng Mansion to reinforce Runing! If I guess correctly, there must be other officers and soldiers in the surrounding area who are moving towards Runing Mansion! Although these officers and soldiers are not worried, how many ants bite the elephants! So it seems that we should move faster! All right! Tomorrow morning, Situ Liang, you will lead your troops to intercept this officer and army, and destroy them for me! As for Sun Yingyuan, Yaoben, your teaching camp will work hard! You can keep an eye on Sun Yingyuan alone tomorrow. You can't let him go out of the camp and meet Huang Degong!" After Xiao Tianjian sent away the scouts, he said to the generals.

Several people who were ordered immediately came out to respond to the order, and then were driven out of the big account by Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and went down to rest.

Xiao Tianjian walked to the front of the map with his hands behind his back, locked his eyes in the area of Nanyang, and frowned slightly.

"Is the general worried about how Xiong Wencan will react?" Li Jinde, as a counselor, was not chased away by Xiao Tianjian to rest, but stayed in the brightly lit tent. Seeing Xiao Tianjian standing in front of the map, he asked Xiao Tianjian.

"I have to guard against it! It has been a few days since we sent troops from Baofeng. Our movements can't be hidden from the court. Moreover, when our soldiers go to Runing, the officials of Runing will definitely immediately send people to Xiong Wencan, who is sitting in Nanyang, ask for help. If Xiong Wencan sends Zuo Liangyu's army to help at this time, then we will be in a bad situation. That's it! After all, we don't have many troops. If we can't defeat Sun and Huang in a short time, we will fall into a bitter battle! I didn't expect that Huang Degong would be beaten while lying down this time. If he can't get Huang Degong tomorrow, I'm afraid there won't be enough time!" Xiao Tianjian can't say these words to the generals, but he can say them to Li Jinde, the staff officer.

Li Jinde nodded and said, "The marshal is extremely worried. After all, it is only more than 300 miles away from Nanyang. If Xiong Wencan reacts fast, send Zuo Liangyu to help. At the earliest, he should be able to get here in five days! There is really not enough time left for us now!

I think that this battle will either end as soon as possible, or once Zuo Liangyu leads the troops to come, we might as well go to the battle instead!"

"Go for the war? Tell me, how to replace the tactic?" Xiao Tianjian turned around and asked Li Jinde.

"If we can't solve Sun Huang before Zuo Liangyu's troops come, it is not wise to fight to the death here. At present, Xiong Wencan is thinking that we will fight with him, so that he will have a military advantage. Once we are dragged here, he can mobilization more soldiers to surround us. In the Runing area, this area is not under our jurisdiction, and it is very difficult to supplement food and materials. Even if the people return to us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue. Therefore, once the situation develops to this point, we might as well abandon Runing and go. Xiong Wencan will definitely send troops to chase them. We can completely drag them to walk and fight, only If they want to slack off a little, we will bite them fiercely! In this way, the officers and soldiers will be consumed by us a lot! When they run out of strength, let's fight with them!" Li Jinde touched the short bead on his chin and replied to Xiao Tianjian.

"Ha ha! You are talking about a sports war! Not bad! This method is really good! There are really not many more soldiers and horses in the world than our Xingtian Army! Drag them to run, and then take a bite, haha! This is a good method! But don't underestimate Luo Li. In the past two days, he has not been able to win the camp of Huang Degong. Look! This guy will definitely carry a knife in person tomorrow and lead the camp in person! I can bet that the camp of Huang Degong will definitely be conquered by Luo Li tomorrow! I am confident about this!

But the method you mentioned is indeed good. After playing Huang Degong, if Sun Yingyuan is smart, he will choose to avoid Runing City. With our troops, if he wants to capture Runing City, I'm afraid he will be weak now! I guess your method can still be used!" After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian laughed and patted Li Jinde on the shoulder hard, even saying that the strategy was good! However, Li Jinde was a little miserable. After these slaps, he almost slapped him on the ground. He grinned in pain and quickly stepped back a few steps to avoid Xiao Tianjian's big hand.

"The marshal should not be happy in the future. The inferior position can't stand the strength of the marshal! If you pat this shoulder a few more times, I guess it will be useless!" Li Jinde also smiled and rubbed his shoulder while saying to Xiao Tianjian.

"Oh? Sorry, sorry! Ha ha! I forgot about it as soon as I was happy! Pay attention in the future, pay attention in the future! However, you should also learn more martial arts. After all, the body is the capital. I don't want you scribes to be weak!"
