"Hmph, it goes without saying that our great Chu will definitely win a great victory!"
Although Ying Tingguang lost in the previous battle, he still had high fighting spirit.
"well said!"
Geng Chunqiu responded loudly: "The soldiers of Da Chu should be like Vice General Ying and not be discouraged by defeat!"
The lieutenants around him nodded.
I think what you said makes perfect sense.
"yes!"
go along.
Ying Tingguang continued: "General, since cutting off the water source cannot stop them, how about we find a way to cut off their food and grass?"
Geng Chunqiu nodded, "A good plan is a good plan, but if I guess correctly, this plan is very impractical... because our people cannot enter Nanjing City at all!"
"This..." Ying Tingguang hesitated, but Geng Chunqiu's guess was correct. The entire city of Nanjing must have been connected to a railway network, and it would be useless even if Da Chu sent a small combat force.
Sigh!
They wanted to burn the food and fodder of the Wu Dynasty army, but the actual situation was a bit difficult to handle.
The city cannot be entered, let alone burning food and grass?
It's not that they haven't thought about using rockets, but rockets can't hit the target accurately, and it's a waste.
It's better to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
"This won't work, that won't work either. Should we just stop like this?"
"Yeah! That's so special!"
"General, if it doesn't work, let's try again!"
"If the whole army attacks, I don't believe that their 70,000 people can stop our current army of 150,000 people!"
The lieutenants couldn't help but spat angrily.
This time, Da Chu sent a total of 200,000 troops. It lost 30,000 in the previous siege, and 20,000 were stationed at Mingguan Bridge, so now only 150,000 troops could be mobilized.
The number of people was more than twice that of Wu Chao's army.
This is also the reason why the Wu Dynasty army did not dare to send troops to engage in a frontal battle.
For them, now, the only way to win back the victory is to defend the city.
Therefore, the two armies are facing each other...
Seeing that the generals were anxious, Geng Chunqiu said: "Don't be anxious, there will definitely be a way!"
"Every one of you is the mainstay of Dachu, how can you be so restless?"
The lieutenants were reprimanded.
Everyone present felt a little embarrassed and lowered their heads in shame.
Ying Tingguang fell into deep thought. He thought a lot in his mind. He looked down at the ground, his eyes getting colder and colder. "It won't work from the front. It won't help if there is no food or water. It's better to sneak into the city underground!"
"Dig tunnel..."
Ying Tingguang stepped on the ground, feeling a little excited.
The method of digging underground passages has been tried and tested by various dynasties.
Although it consumes a lot of manpower, it is also the most effective.
Once you enter the city, you will definitely catch your opponent by surprise.
It is best to use a surprise attack to burn the food and grass. The army without food and grass will be destroyed in less than three days...
Ying Tingguang immediately said what he was thinking.
After hearing this, Geng Chunqiu's eyes flashed with something strange, and he patted Ying Tingguang's shoulder, "Good nephew, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have ignored this incident! Sure enough, a tiger father has no dog son, that's right! The offspring are to be feared.
!”
Ying Tingguang was a little embarrassed by the praise, "General, you are serious, I am just a humble opinion!"
"Haha, don't be modest..." Geng Chunqiu smiled, naturally happy to have a way to enter the city.
Immediately issued an order to dig a tunnel and enter Nanjing City.
The first step is to dig a tunnel.
The second step was to send some people to destroy the food and fodder of the Wu Dynasty army.
An army without food and fodder is naturally a mess and will collapse at the first touch.
With a plan in mind, naturally he was busy and not idle.
…
The barracks where Xu Mingdong and Gongsun Hong are located.
It was very shabby. The Zhou Dynasty only had hundreds of soldiers from the Southern Dynasty. These people were all wilted and listless.
The rags and linen clothes that Gongsun Hong was now wearing made him look much older overnight.
Naturally, he never imagined that he would fall to this level.
He is so arrogant and regretful, but it is a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world!
If he had known today, he would never have chosen Xu Mingdong. Just like that, his dream of being the best among thousands of people was completely shattered.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you think we can still go back?"
Gongsun Hong spoke slowly. For them now, the farthest distance in the world is nothing more than this.
Power and status are within reach, but they are separated by a natural chasm.
Xu Mingdong looked in the direction of Nanjing City, clenching his fists, "I...I will definitely go back, definitely!"
"I am the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty cannot live without me!"
However, until now, he was still immersed in his own fantasy.
Gongsun Hong chose to believe in Xu Mingdong, and he was willing to use this old bone to accompany Xu Mingdong on another journey. "I am willing to follow your majesty to the death!"
Xu Mingdong nodded, not mentioning these sad things, and said: "What's the situation over there at Dachu?"
Gongsun Hong said: "It seems that they have taken action!"
Action?!
Xu Mingdong's eyes flashed, and he said urgently: "As long as the Wu Chao army is defeated, we will have a chance. It is best if their two armies fight and both lose..."
"yes!"
He also thought about returning to the city and gathering a team to make a comeback.
I have to say, it was a pretty good move.
Xu Mingdong raised his head and looked deeply, "I am the Nine-Five Supreme Being, the True Dragon Emperor, and I will definitely succeed!"
"must!"
He now firmly believes that he will succeed.
Gongsun Hong has no choice now and believes they will succeed.
The two of them are carrying out some so-called plots, but their current plans are weak and feeble, like throwing a pebble into the sea, unable to stir up any waves at all.
…
At the same time, in the southern city of Nanjing, on top of the city tower.
At present, they were besieged by the Chu army. In order to gather morale, Shi Gandang and Lei Yi ate and lived with the soldiers, treating them like brothers.
The two of them returned to the building after patrolling...
They didn't take off their armor.
Shi Gandang said: "What do you think the Chu army will do next?"
Lei Yi frowned and then said in a deep voice: "General, judging from the current situation, the last general can't tell the difference between one, two and three!"
This is also true, because Da Chu has been on hold for a while.
Shi Gandang had no expression on his face. He drew a circle and a line on the map with his scabbard, and said slowly: "Our army is besieged in Nanjing City, and Mingguan Bridge has also been occupied by them. This reveals an important thing."
They wanted to surround us, but they ignored the wealth in Nanjing City, or they and I had calculated this, so the siege was not considered a good plan. As for the frontal attack, Nanjing City is a strong city.
, if you don’t pay the price of blood, you won’t be able to get in at all. If it were you, what plan would you use if you wanted to enter Nanjing City now?”
