Chapter 1895 The Dilemma of the Attack and Defense of Yanjing (4)

Chapter 1893: The Dilemma of the Attack and Defense of Yanjing (4)

Like Li Guang's son Li Gan, Su Qingjie, Su Baotong, Su Baofeng, and Su Jinlian are also hidden characters of the special 100-call card, and they are still implanted into Su Dingfang's children.

Of the four including Su Baofeng, except for Su Qingjie, who is a historical figure, the other three are fictional characters, and they are all the children of Su Dingfang, so it is natural for them to be implanted as Su Dingfang's children.

However, Su Dingfang is only in his thirties now, and he himself is not too old. It can be seen that Su Baofeng and the other two are still underage.

With Qin Hao's order, the battle between Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui came to an end.

Originally, the three armies of Su, Xue and Lu were all focused on their own affairs, but after Su Dingfang assumed the position of commander-in-chief, he immediately unified the three armies, allowing the 70,000 Qin army to attack one place instead of fighting separately.

On the first night after confirming the general, Su Dingfang summoned Xue Rengui, Lu Bu, Sun Lingming, Li Hongzhang and other generals to hold a meeting to discuss how to capture the strong city of Yanjing.

"The walls of Yanjing City are three feet high and one and a half feet thick. There are more than 400 catapults, 3,000 crossbows, more than 10,000 powerful crossbows, and 30,000 defenders..."

Before Su Dingfang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Hongzhang's words.

“Well, Marshal Su, your intelligence is behind.”

Hearing this, Su Dingfang's eyes flashed with surprise, and then relief appeared.

Li Hongzhang came from Youbeiping. His information came from the lord, and the lord's information came from Heibingtai, so he must be faster than the intelligence from the front line.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Hongzhang smiled lightly and said: "Just an hour ago, I received a letter from Heibingtai."

Everyone suddenly became energetic, and Sun Lingming quickly asked: "What did the Fei Ge Biography say?"

Li Hongzhang took out a piece of letterhead from his arms and handed it to Su Dingfang. At the same time, he said: "Liu Che issued a recruitment order to integrate the soldiers of the famous families in the city into an army, and gained 10,000 new defenders."

"What?"

Sun Lingming and Lu Bu exclaimed together.

Yanjing City was difficult to defeat with 30,000 defenders. Now that there are 10,000 more defenders, it will definitely be more difficult to break the city.

"The Youzhou family actually sent soldiers to help Liu Che? They are crazy. Aren't they afraid that our army will settle the score?" Xue Rengui frowned.

The Qin army's retaliatory action against the noble family in Jizhou must have greatly shocked the Youzhou noble family. Under such circumstances, the Youzhou noble family still dared to help Liu Che? Are you really not afraid of death?

Su Dingfang had already read the information and said softly: "It's not that they are not afraid of our army settling accounts later, but they have no choice at all."

With that said, Su Dingfang handed the information in his hand to Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui's pupils suddenly shrank after looking at it.

"Crazy, crazy, what do you want Liu Che to do? Would you rather die than let us live in peace?" Xue Rengui said angrily.

 Lu Bu and Sun Lingming showed doubts.

Although Yanjing with 40,000 defenders is difficult to defeat, with the current strength of the Qin army, it can still be defeated after making certain sacrifices.

Li Hongzhang immediately explained: "Liu Che's prestige in Yanjing is extremely high. He easily mobilized 60,000 strong men to help defend the city, and another 100,000 ordinary people to help transport supplies."

"What?"

Sun Lingming and Lu Bu exclaimed together, this news was really surprising.

This shows that the city of Yanjing has been completely integrated by Liu Che. The whole city is united and wants to capture Yanjing. They are facing not only the Han army, but also the 200,000 people in Yanjing.

 “It’s hard to fight in Yanjing City now.” Lu Bu murmured to himself. Liu Che defended the city with 40,000 defenders and all the people in the city. If the Qin army forced the city to break, even if they could finally capture Yanjing, there would not be much left of 70,000. Yanjing, the first city in Youzhou, would also be Will be destroyed by war.

Yanjing City is difficult to fight, but the Qin army has to fight.

 Liu Che's various measures have shown his determination to rather die than surrender. There is no other way but to attack by force.

 If you attack by force, you will kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.

 This is a dilemma.

After understanding everything, Xue Rengui was a little glad that he was not the leader of this battle. Otherwise, he would have to make the decision in this dilemma. Looking at Su Dingfang's tangled expression, you knew that he was also suffering in his heart at this time. .

After being silent for a long time, Su Dingfang raised his head and asked: "Mr. Li, how many spies do our army have in Yanjing City? Can the city gate be opened from the inside?"

"impossible."

Li Hongzhang shook his head: "In addition to recruiting soldiers from the family and inciting the people of the city, Liu Che also confiscated the city's rations and distributed them on a daily basis.

Now the Han army's control over Yanjing has reached an unprecedented level. There are only 300 black ice spies of our army in the city, and it is impossible to disrupt it from the inside.

not to mention…"

At this point, Li Hongzhang stopped, and Su Dingfang quickly asked: "What's more?"

"What's more, all the Black Ice agents in the city have been wiped out. The information just now is the last information sent back by the Black Ice agents."

As he spoke, Li Hongzhang raised three fingers and said: "The Black Ice secret agent desperately released one hundred and thirty-seven homing pigeons before the entire army was annihilated, but only three of them flew back successfully, and the rest were shot down by the Han army."

Hearing this, Su Dingfang suddenly fell silent. It was not that Heibingtai was ineffective, but that Liu Che's counterintelligence efforts were too high.

This shows that Liu Che’s control over Yanjing is very strong. It’s no wonder that the Youzhou family didn’t even dare to resist, so they handed over their clan soldiers and food.

The destruction of the three hundred spies in Yanjing City also means that the Han army cannot be disintegrated from within. Now there is only one way to break through Yanjing, and that is to attack by force.

“Su Shuai, our army can arrange it this way.”

Lu Bu stood up and said: "Our army can concentrate its forces to attack one city wall, and the last general, General Xue Li, and General Sun will personally participate in the attack.

The only generals that Yanjing can defeat are Xue Gang and his son. But even if they join forces, they can only block one of the three of us. The other two can quickly expand the results and allow more soldiers to board the tower. Minimize casualties as much as possible. "

Lu Bu's method was to rely on the individual force of strong generals to quickly capture the city. He and Xue Rengui used this method before to quickly capture the two cities of Guangyang and Jundu.

Su Dingfang shook his head: "General Fengxian, there are four hundred catapults and three thousand crossbows in Yanjing City. If the crossbows are too strong, you will have no chance to climb the tower."

Lu Bu looked puzzled, why didn't he have the chance to climb the tower?

When Sun Lingming saw this, he immediately told Lu Bu and others about his experience of being defeated by Li Ling using crossbow-stone tactics in Guangping City.
