Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 299 How to choose.

"How many days are there left in the army?" Zhongxiao Wang Wu Jianzhang asked his son Wu Yunzhao with a gloomy face.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and how can she fight a battle without food.Now that there is a food crisis in the army, Wu Jianzhang's entire battle plan has to be changed.

"If the whole army is fed, it will only be enough for three days." Wu Yunzhao replied.

In the Sui Dynasty, there are still two meals a day, one meal at sunrise and one meal at sunset. If these two meals are full, the entire army is already full.

Everything must be done in a hurry. Since the food cannot be delivered and the source of income cannot be increased, we can only stop the flow. In this case, we can only reduce the cost of the army.

After Wu Jianzhang pondered for a while, he told his son Wu Yunzhao, "Tell the food officer that the food in the army must last me at least seven days."

If the food for three days needs to last for seven days, then these soldiers who used to eat dry rice can only eat porridge now.Originally able to eat full, but now at most can only be half full.

"Father, in this case, the soldiers are hungry, how can they fight?" Wu Yunzhao asked.

"It's better to be hungry than to lose your life. Follow my orders." Wu Jianzhang ordered.

According to Yang Xuangan's forged letters by Wang Zhongbo and Zhao Huaiyi, it will take at least fifteen days to repair the Liangdao.

On the [-]th, there were only three days of food in the army, so the soldiers could only eat half full, and at most they could only last seven days.If it takes fifteen days, I'm afraid it won't last.

Under such circumstances, Wu Jianzhang has only two options.One is to capture Pyongyang City with lightning speed. As the capital of Goguryeo, Pyongyang City must have a large amount of food in it.

The second way is to withdraw the troops. Now Wu Jianzhang's army is equivalent to a deep army.As long as they retreated to the same line as Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji's left and right armies, then the problem of food transportation would be solved.

Wu Jianzhang has fought a war all his life, so he can be said to be an old war fighter.And Wu Jianzhang, his style of marching and fighting is based on stability.Without [-]% certainty, Wu Jianzhang would not easily mobilize troops.

If you change to a more aggressive general, after occupying Danyang City, even if you don't take advantage of the situation to attack Pyongyang, you will have to make a few tentative attacks.

However, since Wu Jianzhang occupied Danyang, he has been training troops all day long, and has never planned to send troops to attack Pyongyang.According to Wu Jianzhang's thinking, as long as the left and right troops are not there, he will not attack Pyongyang.

However, the armies on the left and right wings have not yet arrived, and his central army is short of food first.Under such circumstances, how should Wu Jianzhang choose, should he abandon Danyang and evacuate later, or attack Danyang City by force by himself?
Wu Jianzhang is a veteran of war, and his style of marching and fighting can be described in four words, that is, as stable as an old dog.Therefore, after the food crisis, Wu Jianzhang has already decided to retire.

Danyang City.

war room.

Standing in front of the sand table, Wu Jianzhang studied the sand table for a long time.Wu Jianzhang knew in his heart that it was the most sensible choice to withdraw the army at this time, but he was more or less reluctant to withdraw just like that.

Once they retreated, the city of Danyang would naturally have to be abandoned.At that time, Goguryeo will definitely regain Danyang, and their previous efforts will be in vain.

However, Wu Jianzhang is not sure that he can capture Pyongyang with only the troops in his hands.Although it is said that the combat power of Goguryeo soldiers is really nothing compared to the Sui army.However, after all, this is an offensive and defensive battle, and the Goguryeo army is far more powerful than the Sui army, so the outcome of the real fight is only five or five.

That's right, winning or losing is a matter of fifty or five.

Even with 50 soldiers and horses, Wu Jianzhang still has [-]% confidence in attacking Pyongyang City guarded by Goguryeo's [-] troops.

It stands to reason that there is a [-]% certainty that in the hands of general adventurous generals, it is already possible to fight.However, Wu Jianzhang belongs to the kind of very stable person. He obviously doesn't want to fight this battle when he is only [-]% sure.

"I intend to retreat for the time being. I don't know what you think?" Wu Jianzhang said to the lieutenants and generals in the combat room and his two vanguard officers after pondering for a while.

After all, Wu Jianzhang is a veteran. The older he is, the more cautious he is. Wu Jianzhang's combat style is inevitably based on stability.Therefore, at this time Wu Jianzhang chose to retreat.

Wu Jianzhang wanted to retreat, but some people didn't want to. It can even be said that most of the generals in the war room didn't want to retreat.

Withdrawing at this time, wouldn't they have defeated Danyang City in vain?
In the war room, there were all kinds of voices and all kinds of words for a while.Although there is everything to say, most people have the idea of ​​not wanting to withdraw their troops.

Among them, Wu Tianxi, the nephew of Zhongxiao Wang Wu Jianzhang, was the one who yelled the loudest.Wu Tianxi is the sixth hero among the thirteen heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although he has the courage of all men, he has no resourcefulness.He is a general who can charge forward, but he is not a handsome talent.

"Uncle, how can we go like this?"

"Give me [-] soldiers, and I will take Pyongyang as if I were picking something out of a pocket." Wu Tianxi yelled.

Fighting this way, the generals of Goguryeo, no one can be the enemy of Wu Tianxi.Therefore, Wu Tianxi has a kind of contempt for these soldiers of Goguryeo in his heart.

Of course, although the combat power of Goguryeo's soldiers is really unbearable, but Wu Tianxi said that he can take Pyongyang City with [-] soldiers and horses, which is just nonsense.

3 horses attacking a city guarded by 30 troops is undoubtedly a dream.If you want to take down Pyongyang, at least Wu Jianzhang's [-] troops must come out.

"My lord, the general is willing to go with the second son."

"The end will be willing to go."

"The end will be willing to go."

When Wu Tianxi stepped forward, all the generals under Wu Jianzhang's command fell to their knees.

At this time, Wu Jianzhang was actually very tangled in his heart.It is true that Wu Jianzhang wanted to withdraw his troops for stability, but he just withdrew like this. In Wu Jianzhang's heart, he was more or less unwilling.

At this time, Wu Jianzhang looked at his son Wu Yunzhao and asked, "Yunzhao, what do you think of this matter?"

Wu Yunzhao's courage is still higher than that of Wu Tianxi. He is the fifth hero among the thirteen heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Moreover, Wu Yunzhao is not only brave, he also inherited his father Wu Jianzhang's talent in marching and fighting, which can be said to be quite strategic.

After thinking for a while, Wu Yunzhao said, "Father, I also don't think we can just retreat like this. Although it is a little unstable to attack Pyongyang City at this time, it cannot be said that we are not sure."

"Oh!"

"Yunzhao, tell me?" Wu Jianzhang hurriedly asked when he heard that Wu Yunzhao had an idea.
