Chapter 72 Shocking Plan

The sword of the Killer was nailed to the map, trembling constantly, making a buzzing sound. The sound was heard in Wang Shao's ears, as if it were thunder, which shocked him very much.

Wang Shao didn't say anything about his courage, it was so great that he didn't want him to scream so much, which shows that Wu Ji was so bold.

"Brother Wu, you actually want to attack Zhuozhou. You are too brave!" Wang Shao's voice was still high and a little harsh: "Zhuozhou is the important place of the Liao Kingdom and the springboard of the Liao Kingdom's attack on the Song Dynasty. If there was no Zhuozhou, the Liao Kingdom would start from Youzhou and launch an attack on the Song Dynasty, it would be much more difficult. Zhuozhou has accumulated a lot of food, grass and weapons. If the Liao Kingdom wants to attack the Song Dynasty, it must obtain supplies from Zhuozhou. Taking Zhuozhou and removing this heavy city will inevitably be a ground move for the Liao Kingdom, which will shock the Liao Kingdom's government and the people. In addition, once Zhuozhou is lost, Yelu Hongji's next attack on the Song Dynasty will not be feasible. If he still wants to attack the Song Dynasty, he must take back Zhuozhou first, otherwise everything will be delusions."

Zhuozhou is very important to the Liao Kingdom, and Wang Shao's words have already explained it very well.

Wang Shao said this and changed his subject and said, "But it is not easy to conquer Zhuozhou. The Song Dynasty had long wanted to do it, but it was too difficult to implement it. Brother Wu, it was very difficult to attack Zhuozhou. Not to mention anything else, even if the army of the Song Dynasty came to the city of Zhuozhou, it would not be able to be defeated. You must know that Zhuozhou is tall and thick, and its hardship is not worse than Xiongzhou. The Liao Kingdom has not captured Xiongzhou for hundreds of years. When we attack Zhuozhou, we really have no calculations."

He was talking about the truth. In ancient times, when there was a lack of powerful siege equipment, he often had no choice but to encounter a strong city. Zhuozhou was an important strategic base of the Liao Kingdom. Among the sixteen prefectures in Yanyun, its importance was second only to Youzhou. The Liao Kingdom had been operating Zhuozhou for hundreds of years, and its strength was imagined. Just think about the fact that the Liao Kingdom had no results in attacking Xiongzhou for hundreds of years, and everything would be understood.

"Wang Shumi, I can tell you that as long as the army reaches the city of Zhuozhou, they will definitely be able to conquer Zhuozhou." Wu Ji was very confident and loud.

"How much does it count?" Wang Shao's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Wu Ji, confirming that Wu Ji was not talking big, so he was a little surprised and confused.

"Ten percent!"

"Tenths?" Wu Ji's words had the power to shock the sky, and Wang Shao was directly petrified.

In the era of cold weapons, the most difficult battle was not field battles, or siege battles. Because with support, it was difficult to fight. There were countless examples of war. The Huns were powerful and fought against the Han Dynasty for decades, but they did not capture the Han Dynasty because the Han Dynasty's cities made the Huns stop their plans.

Similarly, the Liao Kingdom suppressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. Although it won many battles, it did not capture many cities of the Song Dynasty. The reason is that the cities were really difficult to attack.

No one is sure when encountering a siege battle. Not to mention, it is even less likely to attack a strong city like Zhuozhou. Wu Ji actually said he was 100% sure, but no one believed it. Although Wang Shao admired Wu Ji very much, he would not believe it. He stared at Wu Ji and shouted: "Brother Wu, you can't joke about this! Don't ask for a big word!"

If he hadn't admired Wu Ji very much, he would have scolded him and would not have been as yelled as he is now.

"Wang Shao, I didn't joke, but it was true." Wu Ji said with confidence: "Siege may be very difficult for you, but not for me. I have my own tricks, but I just need more things."

"Brother Wu, if you don't joke, as long as you can conquer Zhuozhou, no matter what you want, the official will give it to you. Even if you want the stars in the sky, the official will take it down for you." Wang Shao's voice was extremely sharp, no different from the eunuch's voice.

Zhuozhou is too important. If he can conquer Zhuozhou, the benefits are not to be thought about. If Wu Ji was 100% sure to conquer Zhuozhou, Song Shenzong would definitely support him strongly. He would give whatever he wanted, give the stars, and give the moon.

"Brother Wu, how are you going to have sex?" Wang Shao asked anxiously.

"Shumi Wang, this method is actually not difficult." Wu Ji lowered his voice and said his thoughts.

"Can this work?" Wang Shao didn't believe it at all. His eyes were staring at Wu Ji fiercely, grabbed Wu Ji's shoulder with both hands, and shook his heart desperately: "Brother Wu, tell me quickly, can it work?"

"I dare to issue a military order!" Wu Ji focused his head, his tone was not high, but there was no doubt.

"Okay! I believe what you said is true." Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji for a long time before he had a hard time believing that it was true.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Wang Shao couldn't help but patted Wu Ji, and he was very excited and said, "Brother Wu, once he conquered Zhuozhou, there will be many benefits! Yelu Hongji's plan will disrupt us. By then, hehe, it's time for us to show our power. We must let Liaogou take it and take care of it!"

"To conquer Zhuozhou is to point your sword at Youzhou. Yelu Hongji's plan to attack the Song Dynasty has to change." Wu Ji then analyzed: "Yelu Hongji will take back Zhuozhou at all costs. Therefore, to conquer Zhuozhou is just the beginning of the entire battle, and there will be even greater battles to be fought! Therefore, the next battle will be very difficult."

"Yeah!" Wang Shao nodded and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Brother Wu, if we can conquer Zhuozhou, the benefits will be obvious, but there are many difficulties. How can we suddenly appear under Zhuozhou city? How to replenish supplies? How to deal with Yelu Hongji's counterattack? We must think about all of these."

He is worthy of being a big expert and has expressed the most important difficulties.

"In the next battle, if we mainly attack Zhuozhou, there are only three difficulties." Wu Ji held his finger and said, "One is the problem of marching. It can be imagined that in the next battle, Yelu Hongji will definitely mobilize a large army near Zhuozhou and Youzhou. It is really difficult for us to suddenly appear under the city of Zhuozhou. This is a big battle. We have to dispatch many troops. The more troops we have, the more difficult it is to keep it confidential."

Wang Shao nodded, but did not speak. He believed that Wu Ji would analyze it in full.

Sure enough, Wu Ji continued: "The attack on the city is the second difficulty. It is not difficult to use my method. If we cannot take Zhuozhou in one go, then the Liao reinforcements will be in the middle and outside, and we will suffer heavy casualties. As for dealing with Yelu Hongji's counterattack, as long as we conquer Zhuozhou, we have support and obtain food and grass in the city, we will have supplies. A battle with the Liao army in Zhuozhou will be difficult, but we will not lose."

"After all the time, the important thing is still in Zhuozhou. How can we appear under Zhuozhou without knowing it?" Wang Shao still couldn't figure it out and said, "Even if the army is dispatched, even with the protection of the Yanyun people, it is impossible to be able to see it without knowing it."

This is the most critical point, Wu Ji said: "We can guess this matter. It's autumn now. Our plundering disrupts Yelu Hongji's deployment. He wants to revitalize morale and mobilize the army again. By the time he completes, it's winter. We don't know whether Yelu Hongji will send troops in winter or in the spring of the next year. However, in winter, although it is beneficial to the Liao army's combat, it is also our opportunity."

"Yes!" Wang Shaoda agreed and said, "Liao Gou is the best at fighting in the snow and ice. We have never done it before. If we suddenly attacked Liao territory before the Liao army was about to attack, Yelu Hongji would never have thought of destroying his dog's head, and this would have caught Liao Gou off guard."

"That's what I think. If the situation is better and there is an opportunity, we cannot let it go." Wu Ji's words were a little longing, but it may not be impossible. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can say whether there will be better fighter opportunities.

"Brother Wu, I agree with your thoughts." Wang Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "To complete this plan, we must have the most elite army. Although our 60,000 new army is already elite, it is far from enough. When it comes to elite soldiers, there is nothing else except Western soldiers. It is inevitable to draw soldiers from Shanzhou. Why do you say that you don't transfer soldiers from Shanzhou?"

To achieve such a bold idea, an elite army must be needed, otherwise everything will be empty talk. If this plan is successful, the harvest will be unimaginable, and the difficulties faced by the Song Dynasty will inevitably be solved.

However, the risk is also very high. To reduce the risk, elites are needed. Speaking of elites, the entire Song Dynasty army was nothing more than the Western soldiers. It was natural to draw the Shanzhou soldiers, but Wu Ji disagreed, and Wang Shao really couldn't figure it out.

"It is good to be able to draw Western soldiers, but their burden is not light and cannot be adjusted." Wu Ji analyzed again and said, "You must know that it will take three or two months to transfer troops from Shanzhou to the north. When they arrive, they will have to rectify them. Wang Shumi, you know that our current tactics are very different from before. It will take another one or two months to master our tactics. With such a long time, maybe Yelu Hongji has already entered."

"That's right!" Wang Shao said thoughtfully: "Instead of this, it's better to choose agile, strong, and powerful soldiers in the north for training. In the same time, we can also get the army we need, so that we will not weaken the defense of Shanzhou."

From the issuance of military orders to the mobilization of Western soldiers, it takes thousands of miles to travel. When we reach the north, it is impossible to reach within three or two months. Even if the Western soldiers arrive, first, they are not accommodating to the soil and water, and they still need to adapt. Second, they are not familiar with the tactics of the new army and need training. After all, it will take several months to calculate this time.

It is possible to retrain an army in such a long time.

"Okay, let's draw the Western soldiers." As soon as Wang Shao understood this, he made a decision.

"No!" Wu Ji waved his hand and said, "Wang Shumi, although we don't need to draw Western soldiers, we still have to do this. Not only do we have to do it, but also do it very well, and make Liao and Western Xia mistakenly think that we have drawn a large number of Western soldiers."

"Hehe!" Wang Shao was also a smart person, and immediately woke up. He gave Wu Ji a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Wu, you really have it! In this way, it sets a huge trap for Xixia. If Xixia doesn't notice it and falls into our plan, it will suffer heavy losses this time!"

If the Song Dynasty had the illusion of a large number of troops from Shanzhou, Xixia and Liao would have believed it. Xixia would plunge in and might suffer a great loss.
