Chapter 417: All living beings between death and life
Murong Nan shook his head: "With a million-strong army, there are only about 300,000 combatable soldiers, and 50,000 to 60,000 people are concentrated in the Xiangyang area of Jingzhou, while other troops are rushing towards the two Huaihe areas. Even if they are afraid,
To hurt the morale of other troops, you can also temporarily let the troops of various ethnic groups behind, especially the Han troops, stay in place to block the news of the unsatisfactory progress on the front line. After all, the land of Huaibei, with thousands of miles of fertile wilderness and dozens of cities, is almost impossible to fight without.
And abandoned, even if it was delayed for a month under Shouchun City, it was still progressing quickly. Most of Qin's armies are still on the road. Even Fu Jian is stationed in Luoyang. The governor's troops have not come to the front line.
Woolen cloth."
Liu Yu's brows gradually wrinkled: "So, is it possible that the enemy army will turn to besiege us for a long time? I still don't believe it. If I were the frontline commander of the Qin army, even if the soldiers of other ethnic groups behind were temporarily stopped,
, will continue to send more elite main forces of the Di tribe to the front line. After all, the defeat can be concealed from our follow-up troops, but not from the frontline soldiers. These 50,000 elite Di troops are their vanguard. If this army is to
If the Qi is taken away, the subsequent battle will be impossible to fight."
At this point, Liu Yu's brows widened: "Murong, maybe you still don't understand enough about the symbiotic relationship between brothers in the same army. They eat from the same pot and sleep on the bed.
Companions who train together and play together are not in the army, but they will be villagers and neighbors when they return to their hometown. Now looking at these relatives around them, brothers who died in battle, but cannot take revenge, it will only chill the hearts of the soldiers.
.”
Murong Nan was silent for a while and sighed: "Maybe. Liu Yu, you are always so confident. I don't know why, in front of you, I often feel that the truth is not on your side, but in the end I will convince you. Look.
Come on, you really have the ability to lead and make people obey. I can't tell you, but I have already said the truth. The Qin army may not continue to increase their troops to attack the city. If they stand still or only conduct a small-scale trial attack
, then if you were Xie Xuan, would you lead the troops to help?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, if the main force of the Qin army is not tired, then I will continue to wait and see. Time is on the side of the Jin Dynasty. We fight on the mainland and wait for work, and our military strength is far less than that of the Qin army. They have a million troops.
The consumption of military rations is huge and cannot last for half a year. If after half a year, summer comes in the Huaihe River area and mosquitoes are rampant, then the army from the north will be plagued by disease and will have to retreat if not retreat."
Murong Nan shook his head: "Hold on for half a year? Shouchun City doesn't have the ability, right? The military rations are only for three months."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed: "If they don't attack the city with all their strength, our contact with the outside world will not be interrupted. Even if the Qin army besieges the city, as long as they do not increase their troops, we can break the siege at any time and obtain military supplies and supplies from the outside world.
Reinforcements. Among other things, Hu Bin's five thousand soldiers and horses also brought enough rations. They will not just sit idly by."
Murong Nan curled up his lips: "Even if Marshal Xuan won't betray you, can others be so reliable? Just talk about Hu Bin, he is not from the Beifu Army. If you are short of food and ask him for help, he will definitely do his best.
Rescue you?"
Liu Yu nodded firmly: "Yes, no eggs are left unbroken after the nest is overturned. General Hu should understand this. Even if there are big grievances, state affairs must come first at this time. What's more, I have no grievances with him.
No grudges."
Murong Nan laughed: "Really? In the last battle of Junchuan, the ones who came to help you were the bull noses of Tianshi Dao. Could it be that they put national affairs first? Liu Yu, I said that there are too many people who hate you now.
I hope you die, and you are in danger this time, which is the best opportunity for them. In the Beifu Army, Marshal Xuan is watching, maybe they can't harm you, but this time, you disobey the order to defend the city, if you want to hack
It will be much easier without you."
Liu Yu said coldly: "I will not give them such a chance. In Shouchun City, everything is under my control. If reinforcements and food are really insufficient, I will consider breaking out."
Murong Nan sighed: "If the morale is high, the supplies are sufficient, and everyone has a full stomach, there will be no problem in breaking through the encirclement. But if the food and aid are really exhausted, can we still break through easily? And when the time comes, we can break out of the encirclement easily.
, it is bound to leave most of the sergeants and civilians behind, are you willing to do so?"
Liu Yu said categorically: "There is nothing to be reluctant to do. When we defended the city, we made plans to fight to the last soldier. If it is to win, no one can be sacrificed. This is our battlefield.
Even if I have to evacuate in the end, I will definitely be the last one to leave the city."
Murong Nan's expression changed: "What, you left at the end?"
Liu Yu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I asked everyone to stay. If Shouchun really can't hold on and needs to give up, then please lead your subordinates as the vanguard and fight a bloody path.
The soldiers and civilians in the city will follow, and as for me, I will personally cut off the rear and block the pursuing troops for you."
Murong Nan shook his head: "Throughout the ages, no general has personally cut off the enemy. Liu Yu, even if you break through, you should take everyone with you. How can you stay at the end?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I am not the chief general in the city, General Xu is. I am just the leader of the Beifu Army who is left to defend the city. My life or death is not important. If the city is lost, then I am willing to evacuate for everyone.
Give your life.”
Murong Nan stamped his feet anxiously: "Liu Yu, how can you think so? Your life is much more important than that of ordinary soldiers. You must cherish yourself."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Whose life is not important? Why should you let others die for your own life? This is not my style, Murong, you'd better not have such thoughts."
Murong Nan sighed: "Liu Yu, I really don't know what's going on in your mind. How can someone value their own life less than others? An ant can live an ignoble life, let alone a human being. Besides, this
Can the lives of ordinary soldiers in Shouchun City be compared with those of a great talent like you, who has a bright future? Don't forget, Wang Miaoyin is still waiting for you."
Liu Yu shook his head and looked resolute: "Yes, I have my fiancée, but other sergeants and civilian husbands also have their families, wives, children, parents, and there are also people waiting for their return. At this point, Miaoyin and
There is no difference between the families of ordinary sergeants!"
Having said this, Liu Yu took a step forward, looked at Murong Nan, and said seriously: "Murong, if I really die, I hope you can bring my lifeline back to Miaoyin and tell her not to wait for me anymore.
It's over. Our fate will continue in the next life!"
