97, Mountains and Battlefield Ghosts (2)(1/2)

As the sky grew brighter, Yu Jin looked far into the distance and finally saw clearly the general situation of the enemy's army.

The enemy's front line barracks were seventy-eight out of ten constructed, and a general's flag was fluttering in the wind. However, there were no official script words on it, only a ferocious and terrifying horned beast Teng pattern.

Is this...cow?

Combined with Mi Heng's previous analysis, Yu Jinruo has a clear understanding. Could such a vicious and ugly cow picture represent the ugly cow that ranks second among the earthly branches?

Then I think it should be the world-famous Hebei Four Court Pillars, Earth Ghost and Wen Chou!

At this time, another sentry reported that no other subsequent enemies or reinforcements had been found.

With nearly ten thousand enemies, plus the brave generals of the time, Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the truth.

No matter how strong the enemy is, it is not as scary as the unknown enemy.

Yu Jin summoned the generals, found a shelter from the rain on the city tower, and held an urgent military meeting.

In a few words, everyone who reported the information detected by Tan Ma and Gu Jian spread out the map in Jin and said: "Based on the current intelligence, the invading enemy is Yuan Shao's army, and the leader is Wen Chou. According to Gu Jian's words, except for the leader

Outside the camp, all the surrounding camps are new soldiers. If the prediction is correct, they should have come to Kaiyang from Yunting and dragged them all the way."

"With the mix of old and new, and the heavy rain, the enemy will not attack the city immediately today." Gu Jian said from the side: "If we attack the city, we will definitely use the new soldiers as the vanguard. If so..."

"That's exactly what I wanted." Yu Jin laughed and said, "Everyone, we only need to persist for four or five days, and maybe the siege of Kaiyang will be solved!"

"The general sent a letter many days ago. Reinforcements must be on the way now!"

Everyone nodded with joy on their faces and their morale was boosted.

"only...."

Fu Bo on the side showed hesitation: "Kaiyang has no geographical advantage and the city wall is not high. Even if the enemy army has new soldiers, it will still exceed ten thousand men."

He followed Wang Zheng when the rebellion started in Zhao County. Like Gao Xiong, he was responsible for the subsequent city defense work in every city he visited. He was already quite experienced. If we only talk about his understanding of city defense, I am afraid that he would not talk about the start of the city defense at this time.

Among the people in Yangcheng, even among Wang Zhengjun, there were only a few people after Jin, Pan Zhang and others.

In his opinion, Kaiyang City was of little help to the defenders and could not be compared with Linzi. Even if it was better than Zhao County, it might not be much better.

What's even more troublesome is that, as the Langya County Prefecture, it has major flaws such as four city gates.

The city has many gates, which connects all directions during normal times, which is good for trade, but in wartime it turns out to be a bad thing.

In addition, there are currently only 3,000 soldiers in the city. If we want to disperse the defense in various places, there will not even be enough 1,000 men in each place.

The number of enemies is over 10,000...

If the opponent launches an offensive, it will be difficult to resist using Qigong from all directions, and it will be easier to focus on one thing and lose another.

Under such circumstances, how many days can we hold on?

Let’s not talk about how many days it will take to wait for Wang Zheng’s reinforcements...

Even for a day or two, according to Fu Bo, it is not easy to hold on.

After hearing what he said, everyone's expressions became solemn again.

Yu Jin also fell into silence.

Nowadays, people with different talents are surrounded by generals. There is no need to make excuses to encourage them. It is not wrong to analyze the pros and cons and let everyone see the reality clearly.

Just three thousand people versus one thousand people... Yu Jin frowned and looked to the south.

How on earth are we going to hold on until reinforcements arrive?

At this time, the wind gradually subsided, but the rain did not slow down at all and became more and more torrential.

Large chunks of dark clouds overlapped one another, lowering the sky very low, as if it was about to collapse, making Yu Jin feel even heavier.

This cloud...is really an eyesore!

Separated in two places, he and Wang Zheng had the same sigh, and even more so when they suddenly encountered a powerful enemy and fell into a deep dilemma.

So what about Wen Chou? What about the Four Court Pillars in Hebei Province?

If under such a disadvantage, I can defend until the general comes to rescue, or even repel Yuan Jun, then I can show my ability as Yu Wenze...

Isn't it?

Secretly cheering for his family, Yu Jin smiled, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Fu Bo thought for a while and spoke again: "Major, in my humble opinion, Kaiyang is not enough to defend."

"In this case, instead of being trapped, why not rush out?"

"You mean to take the initiative to attack?" Yu Jin looked at him in surprise.

"You can attack or retreat!" Fubo explained:

"Yuan Jun just arrived last night and is exhausted from the long journey. The front of the camp may be able to be built, but that may not be the case. The rear camp may not be stable!"

"If it causes spontaneous chaos among the thieves, then we will take the opportunity to attack and defeat them in one fell swoop." Fu Bo said, "If there is nothing we can do and we miss a single hit, we can also take my wife and young lady to immediately detour to Pengcheng to find the general, and wait for our heavenly army to join forces.

After that, just come back and get Kaiyang!"

"There is a huge disparity in military strength and the situation forces it. The general's strength will not be blamed."

This is a suggestion to abandon Kaiyang...

Yu Jin glanced at him and pretended to think deeply, but he was cursing secretly in his heart.

That's easy for you to say!

You are a fellow countryman of the general, an old friend, and you are not the general, so there is no need to worry.

As soon as I was demoted to the general, and now I am the commander-in-chief of Kaiyang, if I abandon the city and flee when we first engage in battle, will I still be able to gain the general's trust in the future?

No blame? If you lose the trust of the general and do nothing from now on, this is the biggest blame!

It was even more difficult for him to accept!

"Coming out of the city? This is not appropriate." Before Yu Jin could speak, Gu Jian also interjected:

"But taking the initiative to evacuate is a good idea."

"Major, I think it is better to leave a small number of troops to guard Kaiyang and block the enemy from the front with a fortified city. Let's take the madam out from the west gate, break through the enemy's siege when they are unprepared, and then transfer from Yuzhou to Pengcheng."

"This way Kaiyang may not be lost, and the safety of the general's family can be taken care of."

Yu Jin saw it.

These people all think that Huo Si and her daughter are more important than Kaiyang.

actually...

Yu Jin felt the same way in his heart.

It's just that as a coach, others can talk and do things, but Yu Jin really can't hand over Wang Zheng to Kaiyang like this.

After staring at the front for a long time, Yu Jin first rejected Fu Bo's suggestion: "It's not advisable to attack with an overwhelming force, let alone take the initiative to attack. Come and see..."

He pointed at Yuan Jun's camp: "Wen Chou is not a mediocre general who doesn't know how to fight. Just as Lieutenant Fu said, Yuan Jun's camp was in a hurry and it was impossible to solidify it everywhere. But this camp is laid out in the shape of a snake, so it is already prepared."

In the long snake formation, if you hit the head, the tail will respond, if you hit the tail, the head will respond, and if you hit the target, the head and tail will respond.

The best way to break this formation is to attack several parts of it at the same time, making it difficult to see from the beginning to the end and creating chaos.

But now there are only three thousand people in my family, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Unless you use cavalry to make a surprise attack!

But where did the strange soldiers come from?

For a moment, everyone was silent. All eyes were fixed on the map, thinking hard, but they didn't notice that Yu Jin had inadvertently avoided the sensitive topic of whether to abandon Kaiyang.

...

The rain shelter was hastily built, and rainwater dripped along the cracks and fell on the ground, adding to the chill.

Yu Jin's armor and clothes had long been soaked, but at this time he was full of fighting spirit and concentrated, but there was no hint of coldness at all. His eyes were darting back and forth on the map, and his mind was constantly racing.

Looking at the drops of water on his fingers, Yu couldn't help but think of the Battle of Linzi.

It was also a rainy day like this, but Wang Zheng went against the rules of war and made a surprise attack while it was raining. He used "Tianjiu" and "Tianwei" to boost morale, and decided to fight.

Tianjiu...

rainwater...

water...

Yu Jin's heart suddenly moved, and a plan vaguely came to mind, but he was not in a hurry to speak. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "How many ships are there in the city now?"

These words made everyone present startled and looked at each other in confusion. Although the clever ancient sword did not know his intention, he immediately called for people to find the officials in the city.

After hearing the officer's answer, Yu Jin thought thoughtfully. Although there were only forty or fifty ships, they were enough.

"How many rivers near Kaiyang can we walk on at this time?" He asked again: "With this rain, won't the water level rise?"

He is from the north and doesn't know much about the lakes in the south, so he asked this question.

After hearing the officer's answer, Yu Jin nodded and ordered him to step back.

At this point, others were still at a loss, but Fu Bo and Gu Jian, who were from Qingzhou, had already guessed the intention of banning them. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
