Chapter 633
In a big battle, Yecheng was easily taken down.
Jiang Hao immediately ordered the army to enter the city, count the supplies, arrange accommodation, confiscate the food and livestock of the people in the city, and then drive thousands of Shache people away.
Where are you going?
Naturally, they rushed to Shache City.
With a few thousand more mouths, Shache City will only become more chaotic and the burden will be heavier.
There were often massacres in ancient wars. Jiang Hao did not slaughter the people, but drove them away, which is already the greatest kindness. Therefore, none of the Shache people scolded Jiang Hao, only saying that the leader of the Han people was really a kind-hearted person.
fuck
It turns out that happiness is really a comparison.
Yecheng is only 30 miles away from Shache King. It only takes half an hour for the cavalry to reach this distance. It can be said that Jiang Hao's flag has already been inserted into the throat of the Shache people. It is still the thick and long flag. flagpole.
Shache people must not feel well.
Yecheng originally stored some military rations and supplies, and the coalition forces of the Western Regions raided the people of Shache for food, livestock, cattle and sheep. These things were enough for Jiang Hao's army to feed for two or three months.
Yecheng has now become Jiang Hao's advance base for attacking Shache.
A few days later, after receiving a message from Shache City, Princess Dilinaza presented to Jiang Hao, "This is the information sent back by the spy team."
Naturally, Jiang Hao drove away the Shache people in Yecheng not only to rob food and increase the burden on Shache City, but also a more important reason is to allow a large number of spies to enter Shache City with the fleeing crowd and learn about the situation in Shache City.
In modern society, information and intelligence are the most important, and the same is true in ancient times. A useful intelligence can often determine the outcome of a battle. Jiang Hao has attached great importance to it since he formed the army.
and are divided into two categories,
One is the real army scouts, which Cheng Yong is in charge of, and the other is secret spies. At the beginning, he selected more than a dozen people to operate, and the scope of investigation also included Jiang Hao's own internal situation in the army.
After all, the situation of his army personnel is too complicated and he has to be on guard.
Now that the Allied Forces of the Western Regions have been formed, Jiang Hao pays more attention to the development of the spy team. Because the team is getting bigger and Jiang Hao’s affairs are getting more and more, Jiang Hao handed over part of the spy network to Di Linaza for management. .
This girl is very smart. Through Jiang Hao's precepts and deeds, she mastered the intelligence network in a short time and became Jiang Hao's confidential secretary in the true sense.
After reading the information sent, a smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face, "Shache asked Qiuci for help, and released 10 carrier pigeons a day. It seems that Shache King is in a hurry."
Di Linaza also laughed, "You forced King Shache too. Tens of thousands of troops overwhelmed the country and occupied the second largest city. You can attack him at any time. Naturally, he is always in fear."
Jiang Hao hooked his fingers at Dilina, and Princess Dina blinked her big eyes, knowing that the man had bad intentions, but she still walked over obediently, Jiang Hao slowly stretched his face over, and said close to Princess Dina's ear: "Watching the enemy being forced to jump, don't you feel very happy now?"
The air blown by Jiang Hao's words made the fluff around Princess Dina's ears flutter. Princess Dina felt her ears itch and shrunk her neck slightly, but the smile on her face grew wider.
"Yes, very happy, waiting for the day when the general puts him in a cage."
"Hehe, it won't be long."
Princess Dina's neck was a little red, and Jiang Hao's lips were getting closer and closer. She thought Jiang Hao was going to kiss her, and her eyelashes fluttered up and down in fright, like a butterfly flapping its wings.
But then, Jiang Hao walked over sideways, opened the door, and told Jin Da Mao outside the door: "Call all the generals, just say that I have an action plan, come to the meeting quickly."
Princess Dina looked at Jiang Hao's receding back, knowing that she had been teased, she gritted her little silver teeth angrily.
When he came to the battle hall, all his subordinates had already arrived. Jiang Hao pointed to the map and said, "It seems that King Shache will not come to attack us. Since he won't come out, let's fight there. Listen to my orders now." .”
Crash!
Everyone stood up.
Jiang Haodao: "Two thousand soldiers from Yanqi, two thousand soldiers from Yuli, two thousand soldiers from Shanguo, and one thousand soldiers from Loulan, a total of 7000 soldiers, follow me to defeat Shache City."
The four princes immediately bowed to their orders.
"Bian Mu, De Mu, you Khotan Kingdom is adjacent to Shache, and you know the situation of Shache best. You led 2,000 people under your command, and the remaining 1,000 people from other countries scattered to plunder the villages and towns around Shache."
"Remember, don't kill people at will, don't kill if you don't resist, rob them of their food, cattle, sheep and livestock, and then drive them to Shache City, and transport all the looted materials back to Yecheng. We must be prepared for a long-term battle."
Bian Mu and De Mu immediately agreed, but Bian Mu asked: "Da Duhu, to drive away the Shache people, do you want them to be siege shields?"
The siege meat shield is to use the lives of ordinary people to force King Shache to open the city gate. In ancient wars, especially in wars between two races, this kind of situation happened from time to time. There are also many precedents of Han people being driven to call the city.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
"No, it is the Shache king who is guilty, not the people. I will not do that. I drove all those Shache people to the city just to let them enter the city. The more people there are, the less food there will be in the city. The shorter the time."
"What if King Shache doesn't open the city gate?" Someone asked.
Jiang Hao smiled lightly, "Then he will lose the hearts of the people. A king who loses the hearts of the people, a king who is not supported by the people, even if he is sitting on a golden mountain, what if the hearts of the people are not stable, and the hearts of the army are not stable. His demise will only be faster. More thorough."
Jiang Hao's move can only be described in one word,
damage!
Too bad.
"Three Kingdoms · Shu Zhi · Ma Di Biography" has a saying: The way to use soldiers is to attack the mind first, and attack the city as the bottom. Heart warfare is the top, military warfare is the bottom.
Banners and flags filled the sky, and the cavalry team pulled out a long line, erected countless banners, lined up outside the city of Shache King, and stopped two miles away from the city wall.
Seeing this scene, the guards of Shache felt chills in their hearts.
The generals defending the city couldn't stop shuttling back and forth, ordering the soldiers to carry arrows and rocks to prepare for the enemy's attack. King Shache also stood at the top of the city with a group of officials and generals, frowning at the endless enemy troops in the distance.
"Do you think they will attack the city?" King Shache asked a general next to him.
The general didn't know what the other party was going to do, "My lord, I didn't see the enemy's engineering soldiers, and I didn't have any siege equipment. The possibility of attacking the city today is unlikely."
Rumble!
A group of about 200 cavalrymen suddenly rushed out from the coalition of the Western Regions, and rushed to a distance of 200 meters from the city wall at an extremely fast speed. When they arrived here, they did not advance, but swept forward quickly, throwing at the city. archery.
whoosh whoosh~~
When a rain of arrows hit, the guarding soldiers were shocked and shot arrows to fight back. After a burst of shooting from both sides, no one could do anything about it, and the cavalry team quickly returned to the coalition team.
This is the end?
King Shache was very surprised by the enemy's offensive, which is too childish.
Rumbling~~, another cavalry team of two or three hundred people rushed out, and fired a volley at the top of the city again. The top of the city counterattacked, and the cavalry team ran away again.
After going back and forth like this several times, the Shache people who guarded the city were also surprised.
If you attack the city like this, you will never be able to attack it in your life.
Then,
They saw that in the enemy's team, they started to set up pots and bury the stove, and the smoke rose from the cooking. Damn, they started cooking.
This is the end?
What the hell?
After eating for almost an hour, the cavalry rested and mounted their horses again, with the flag fluttering in the wind, they were more energetic than before.
Some of the officials in Shache immediately laughed, and said to King Shache, "My lord, the opponent's commander is a fool. He doesn't know how to attack a city, let alone how to fight. We don't need to be afraid of him."
"Well, I guess these people are some mobs, and our country has nothing to worry about." Another person said.
But someone disagreed with what the two said. The prime minister frowned and said, "I don't think so. The other coach's move must have a deep meaning. I'm afraid they have another trick. We have to be careful."
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the Shache people watched the enemy eat, and they were already hungry. King Shache immediately ordered the soldiers to eat at the top of the city, and he and the ministers arranged meals in the battlements and began to eat.
But just after eating a few mouthfuls, a city guard general rushed in and reported loudly: "My lord, it's not good, the enemy has driven a lot of our people, and they are almost at the bottom of the city now."
King Shache and his ministers were startled, immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and came out. They stood at the top of the city and looked down. They saw a crowd coming from a distance. The people at the head were all people wearing Shache costumes. The number of people was about two or three thousand. On the left and right, behind this group of people, there is another cavalry trooping leisurely.
Not long after, these Shache people ran to the city, and that team also returned to the enemy team.
The people in the city saw the king at the top of the city, and someone shouted: "Your Majesty, those people have robbed us of our food, cattle and sheep. I beg Your Majesty to be merciful and open the city gate to take us in."
"Please the king, let us enter the city."
The people below kept shouting, making mourning all over the place for a while.
King Shache frowned. He is not stupid. If these people are allowed to enter the city, what if the enemy rushes in while opening the city gate? Besides, how much food is needed for so many people? The food in Shache City is now Not many, the four to five thousand people who fled from Yecheng before have already put Shache City under pressure.
"What do you think should be done?" King Shache asked.
At this time, a voice said: "Master, you can't open the city gate, this is the enemy's conspiracy."
"Yes, you can't open the city!"
The two talking were the two idiot officials just now.
The prime minister looked at the begging people in the city, and said: "Your Majesty, the enemy is two miles away. Even if you open the city gate to let them in, the enemy will not be able to catch up. These people are my Shache people. How can we let them be in the enemy's way?" Howling under the butcher's knife."
"What if the enemy takes the opportunity to come in?"
"There are so many people in here, how do we feed them? There are already enough people in the city, and the current food supply can only be maintained until the eldest prince sends troops to rescue them. We can't afford to feed more people."
"Yes, this is also the enemy's poisonous plan to eat us down!"
These two idiots are not completely stupid, and they can see through this.
The prime minister showed anger, and said: "Is it the best policy to let your own people do nothing? It will definitely damage your majesty's reputation."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the eldest prince sends troops to fight off the enemy, these people will naturally understand, and they are afraid that they will fail." One of the two idiots said.
Everyone looked at King Shache.
King Shache frowned and looked at the people outside the city. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "No one can open the city gate. This is my king's order."
