Chapter 31: The Spring Rain is Soft and Silent
The two consecutive days of frustrated siege made Liang Hong feel very bad and had an urge to kill.
Liang Hong sat in the big tent, looked at the generals arguing in the tent, and said, "If you have any ideas about breaking the city, please tell me."
There was silence in the tent, and the generals of the Liang Kingdom felt terrible after seeing the losses suffered during the two days of siege.
In the siege of the past few days, there were very few wounded soldiers, and many soldiers died directly. This was rare on ancient battlefields. Normally, there were more wounded and disabled people, and those who actually died
, should be relatively few. But from the beginning of this attack on Qin, their wounded soldiers were very few, and many of them died directly. They were either shot to death by arrows or directly burned to death by kerosene.
At this point, the generals looked at each other, and no one raised any objections.
"What's wrong? You're all mute? Can't you think of a single plan? What use do I need from you?" Liang Hong looked at the generals in the tent without saying a word, and suddenly became angry.
"The chief concubine, I think we should ask for help from the country, but if that doesn't work, we will just rely on our numbers and take turns attacking the city." A general stood up and said.
"No! We already have 150,000 people here, accounting for most of the country's troops. If we ask for reinforcements, we will definitely need to mobilize defensive soldiers. If so, Chen Guo will not let go of this opportunity! You know, we and
Chen Guo has always been in competition. If we mobilize our troops, Chen Guo will definitely step on us!"
"Extremely yes! Absolutely yes!" The surrounding generals agreed one after another.
Maybe he felt that his opinions were opposed by others and he couldn't get off the stage. The person who asked for help said not to be outdone, "Then if you don't agree to ask for help, you must have a better plan? Then I'm all ears!"
"This..." The captain who objected did not expect to be counterattacked like this. In fact, he had no good solution. He just heard the call for help and subconsciously said something. But now that he was asked back, he couldn't say it.
"I have no choice, I just don't agree to ask for help." If Zai said this, he would probably have become a sworn enemy in the court. So he said, "Why don't we return to the country first, and then slowly figure it out?"
The general who was first rebutted heard that this guy wanted to retreat, and immediately said, "What a fart! Are you retreating now? Do we still need the face of Liang? We fell to Qin twice in a row. Let other princes do it."
What does the country think of us? What qualifications do we have to be promoted to a third-grade principality?"
"Then we can't ask for help. If we ask for help, there will be chaos in the rear!"
"If we don't ask for help, how can we withdraw our troops? Our country, Liang, cannot afford to lose this man!"
The two generals quarreled in Liang Hong's tent. The other generals also felt that what the two said was reasonable, and began to attack the generals who supported the other side. It looked like they were about to perform a full-scale martial arts show.
"That's enough!" Suddenly, an angry voice shouted from the side, "How can you be so noisy and unbecoming! Do you really think that I can't kill you?"
When the generals heard that Liang Hong wanted to kill people, they immediately stopped talking. At this time, Liang Hong was obviously in a bad mood, so it was better not to use your own head to test whether Liang Hong really dared to attack them. Liang Hong was the king's king.
My brother, if he kills himself, nothing will happen to him. What's more, in this situation, Liang Hongzhan is still responsible.
"Let you come up with a plan to destroy the city. You are all making noise here. What does it look like? If you have an idea, please put it forward. If you don't have an idea, just shut up. Who dares to say more, I will let him try it.
Taste the sharp sword in the hand of this general!" Liang Hong stared at the generals in the tent and said viciously.
Now, all the generals in the camp were honest. One by one, you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.
Perhaps because he felt that Liang Hong had been staring at him, the general who initially asked for help could only step forward and said, "Commander, I think it would be better to ask for help. The only ones Qin can mobilize now are these 50,000."
The army, if we are willing to pay the price and attack the city day and night, we will definitely be able to defeat Youyang. As long as Youyang is conquered, there will be no large-scale army in the cities behind Qin that can stop us."
Liang Hong heard what the general said and thought it made sense. The current Qin State was indeed a desperate battle. All the troops that could be mobilized were in Youyang. As long as Youyang was conquered, the journey ahead would be easy.
"No, Chief Concubine, if we ask for help, our country will be empty, and Chen Guo will definitely not miss this opportunity. Please think again, Chief Concubine."
Liang Hong also had a headache when he heard about Chen State. This Chen State is a third-grade principality in the southeast of Liang State.
King Chen Ning wanted to restore the status of Chen State at the time of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Chen State was one of the three major vassal kingdoms.
The founding king of the Chen Kingdom participated in almost all the wars during the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, he was granted the title of Zhuye, with an area of 100,000 miles, and was the top vassal king.
But later, Chen Tu, the king of Chen State, participated in the civil war between the royal families of the Zhou Dynasty. In that battle, there were millions of warriors on both sides. But unfortunately, the prince supported by Chen State was defeated and killed. And Chen State also
It was reduced to a small country with a distance of 40,000 miles from a big country with a distance of 100,000 miles.
The title also changed from prince to prince. However, the punishment of the Chen State by the Zhou Dynasty was just like this. Even Chen Tu, the king of the Chen State at that time, did not suffer any harm. This is enough to prove that the Chen State was powerful at that time.
Now Chen Ning, the king of Chen State, is bent on restoring the glory of his ancestors, working hard to govern, and the national power is booming. There have always been territorial disputes between Liang State and Chen State, and they have even fought several times.
Although each has its own victories and defeats, Chen Guo's former reputation still makes the oppressive Liang Guo breathless. If the soldiers from the rear are really mobilized to come to support, then Chen Guo will definitely not give up this opportunity to expand its territory.
Now Liang Hong feels in a dilemma and doesn't know what to choose. On one side, he wants to conquer Youyang and expand his territory at all costs. On the other side, Chen Guo's aggressive approach
.
Liang Hong sighed softly, "Okay, I have already decided. We will rely on these 150,000 people to attack the city in turn. Tell the soldiers below that as long as Youyang is conquered, the wealth in the city will be theirs!"
Enter the city first, you will be promoted to the third level, and you will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins! Go down." Liang Hong waved his hand helplessly and asked everyone to go down.
Liang Hong looked at the people leaving and said to Liang Ji who was silent on the side, "Ji'er, we are really riding a tiger now. If we fail to defeat Qin, we will lose face in front of the princes. If
It was broken through, but the casualties were heavy, and I'm afraid that the Chen Congress will come out to disrupt the situation."
"This, father, what should we do?" Liang Ji didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Now we can only take one step at a time. I hope God can be on our side this time, Liang!" After saying this, Liang Hong felt how old he was.
Liang Hong secretly thought in his heart, "I didn't expect that this king of the Qin State is so young, but also so cunning. If Ji'er can be half as capable as him, then I, the Liang State, must be famous among the princes." Thinking of this, Liang Hong
It seemed that Liang Ji, who was looking aside, shook his head again.
He walked slowly outside the big tent, feeling the cool breeze of early spring.
