My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2091 The ten day period
The large tent in the army outside the capital city.

Liu Mingzhi was discussing tomorrow's siege strategy with a group of generals in front of the simple sand table, when a scout rushed into the big tent holding a command flag.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, the [-] soldiers and horsemen under King Zhao's command were divided into two groups, heading south of the city and west of the city, and detoured several miles away from the camp behind our army.

They have no intention of attacking my camp yet, but their intention seems to be to cooperate with the imperial guards in the capital, and when our army attacks the city tomorrow, they will outflank them. "

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, the [-] soldiers and horsemen under Yong'an Gong Nangong Ye were divided into two groups and detoured to the east and north of the city respectively, and did not make any move against our army's camp."

Liu Mingzhi looked up at the two scouts who rushed into the big tent one after another, and scratched his forehead a few times while pinching the flag in his hand.

"Continue to investigate and see where their final foothold is.

In addition, the soldiers of each battalion were ordered to send [-] more patrol guards, and [-] more groups of guards on open posts and secret posts, to pay close attention to all the movements of the two soldiers and horses of King Zhao and Duke Yong'an, and report immediately if they feel something is wrong. "

"I have to order, I will resign from my humble position!"

After the two scouts left the big tent, dozens of generals including Cheng Kai looked at each other solemnly, and then looked at Liu Mingzhi who was standing in front of the sand table thoughtfully.

Zhou Baoyu put the flag in his hand on the edge of the sand table, and leaned forward to inspect the sand table.

"Marshal, General Nangong and King Zhao are obviously trying to bury a nail in our backs.

The intention is self-evident, just like Brother Scout analyzed, he stabbed my siege soldiers in the back at the most important moment, in order to cooperate with the imperial guards in the capital to outflank my brothers in the army. "

Ye Baotong nodded in agreement, his one-eyed solemn gaze was undisguised.

"Marshal, I will second General Zhou's conjecture at the end.

Although the [-] soldiers and horses under Zhao Wang's command are miscellaneous soldiers with uneven combat power.

But after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people.

We are not afraid to confront them head-on, but we are afraid that they will stab our siege brothers at a critical moment.

Can't kill you, disgusts you to death.

If they mainly use sneak attacks to share the pressure of the guards on the walls of the capital, our speed of attacking the city will definitely be delayed for some time. "

Liu Mingzhi threw the flag in his hand on the sand table, looked at Ning Chao and Cheng Kai and the others: "Do you have anything to say?"

Ning Chao, Feng Buer and the others set their sights on Cheng Kai, the big brother, and wanted to see if he had any better suggestions.

Feeling the eyes of a group of brothers, Cheng Kai leaned over the flash drive and scanned for a long time.

"Commander, as the saying goes, the army is defeated like a mountain. The last general thinks that after tomorrow's announcement, we should not focus on attacking the capital, but use all our forces to attack the [-] miscellaneous soldiers under the command of King Zhao and Li Tao.

One hundred thousand miscellaneous soldiers, our army's 20 iron cavalry interspersed and attacked, roundabout rounds, they could fight in less than half a day, and the morale of the army was lost.

Even if the [-] elite soldiers under Duke Yong'an will interfere with us, after we allocate part of our troops, we still have an absolute upper hand in dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers under King Zhao and Li Tao.

When attacking them, do not focus on killing the enemy.

It is to dispel their morale in one fell swoop, so that they dare not do wrong things to our army again.

The general feels that as long as we give him a thunderous blow, no matter how King Zhao orders and drives them, those miscellaneous soldiers will not dare to plot evil behind our army with ease.

I don't know what the commander-in-chief thinks? "

"Marshal, at the end I will add Brother Cheng's suggestion, pick the soft persimmons first.

Only after the miscellaneous soldiers under King Zhao's command are completely scared, they will not dare to obstruct our siege.

In this way, we can concentrate on attacking the city without any worries after allocating some soldiers and horses to deal with the [-] elite under Duke Yong'an. "

"The last general also seconded, pick the soft persimmons first!"

Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea and took a few sips, squinting his eyes and meditating for a moment.

"What is your psychological expectation for the time when we invade the capital?"

"It's not what it used to be. Today's guards in the capital are not the King of Shu, King Qing's small number of elite soldiers and the mob gathered together by Dongping and Xigao, but all the imperial guards and military guards.

After the King of Shu raised his troops last time, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers left in the imperial army in the capital, and tens of thousands of recruits were added later.

Although most of the recruits have no combat experience, the battlefield is precisely the best place for training.

Once we attack the city, within three to five days, [-] to [-] percent of the recruits in the imperial army who survived will immediately become elite soldiers.

According to the strong defense of the city, there are another [-] elite cavalry who may rush to the city to assist when they follow.

It is not a problem that we can finally break through the city.

However, if he wanted to do the same thing as the last time he entered Beijing to quell the rebellion, it might not be so easy to enter the city in just a few days.

At the end of the day, it is estimated that half a month to about 20 days. "

"The same is true for the last general. It is estimated to be around 20 days. After all, the troops defending the capital are different from the past."

"Seconded."

"Seconded!"

"The last general is also attached."

Liu Mingzhi looked at the estimated deadlines of dozens of generals who were almost the same, and the tea cover gently fiddled with the tea foam on the water.

"Ten days, the capital must be captured within ten days. If it takes longer, accidents will inevitably happen."

Dozens of generals unanimously looked at Liu Mingzhi who was sitting on the chair and exclaimed: "Ten days!"

"Yes, ten days, it can be early, but it can't be late.

What, you look so unconfident? "

The generals looked at each other with embarrassed expressions, and took a deep breath.

"Marshal, it's not that the brothers don't have self-confidence, but that although the current military strength in the capital is slightly inferior to ours, the difference is not too much.

After taking ten days to conquer a heavily defended city, the brothers are under a lot of pressure. "

"That's right, although we carry hundreds of cannons, the capital's cannons are only a lot more than ours.

In this way, the power of our artillery will be constrained to the greatest extent.

Moreover, the artillery on the city wall occupies a geographical advantage, and our artillery is in danger of being destroyed at any time.

Once the artillery is destroyed, our army's advantage in siege will be gone! "

"This commander will give you another [-] elites, and [-] artillery pieces to assist you?"

"What? Do we still have soldiers and horses?"

"You don't have to worry about this. The commander-in-chief said that if there is one, there will definitely be one. Under such circumstances, is it possible to break the city in ten days?"

All the soldiers looked at each other for a while and nodded silently.

"Yes, but casualties may be"

Liu Mingzhi put down his teacup and started pacing in the tent: "If unnecessary casualties don't increase, try not to increase one.

Jiang Lei! "

"The end is here!"

"The commander-in-chief got you ten new artillery pieces, and they are now in Wollongong, ten miles away from the official road in the north of the city.

Later, you will immediately lead the brothers to familiarize yourself with the operation of these artillery. Han Zhong is also there, let him explain to you if you don't understand. "

Jiang Lei's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily: "Design!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Jiang Lei who was overjoyed with complicated eyes, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Remember, if the artillery currently in hand is successful in attacking the city, you may not use these ten new artillery, try not to use them, the premise of casting them is not to bomb your brothers."

"Yes! I will understand in the end!"

"Han Peng!"

"The end is here!"

"You are the big brother among the cavalry generals, you are the invincible cavalry general who suppressed bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, went to the Western Regions, and conquered Jintu three times.

The commander-in-chief will set you up, and break the two guards and two battalions each. Are you confident that the [-] miscellaneous soldiers under King Zhao will not harass the siege brothers? "

Han Peng was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

"If the purpose is not to kill and annihilate the enemy, but to support them, you will not have this confidence."

"Think about it, King Zhao also has [-] cavalry under his command!"

"When the last general was in the south of the city, he saw the demeanor of King Zhao's cavalry through the binoculars, so it was nothing to worry about."

"Okay, you must be careful. You and Vice General Yue each lead [-] troops, and pay close attention to the movements of King Zhao's army. If they dare to send troops to attack and harass them, stop them immediately."

"I have to wait!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded heavily, squatted under the sand table and brought out a jar of wine and put it on the table, and took out a few mules of coarse porcelain bowls and put them on one by one.

After slapping off the sealing mud, Liu Mingzhi took the wine jars and passed them over the porcelain bowls one by one.

"Come on, make an exception for drinking today, and wish us success."

"Respect, handsome."

More than 30 people drank the drinks in their hands and gestured to each other.

"Marshal, if there is no other order, the brothers will go get ready!"

"Ok, just be careful!"

"I have to wait!"

"Report, report to Commander-in-Chief, a general of the Forbidden Army outside the camp asked the last general to present this letter to you!"

"What about people?"

"I've gone back in a gondola!"

Liu Mingzhi took the letter from the soldiers thoughtfully, and waved to Cheng Kai and the others.

"Let's arrange the siege first!"

"I will take my leave!"
