"I’ll wait one more day for the rebels to fall, and I’ll stay here for the main force of the rebels and I won’t go anywhere. When I get settled, I’ll send troops to help me and I’ll be saved!"
He constantly encouraged morale and gave a lot of money to the soldiers guarding the city to reassure them, so the panic caused by the allied forces’ invasion of the coastal defense gradually subsided and everyone was ready to defend the city.
Su Yonglin didn’t immediately attack the city. Instead, he told the army to take a short break and then build a temporary bridge on the Hutuo River to facilitate the transportation of materials.
Then he looked around the real city, left and right, and couldn’t find a way to break through the city. He was distressed that Xin Qiji came to visit him.
"Why do you want to come to me?"
Su Yonglin and Xin Qiji strolled in the camp and asked with a smile, "Have I finished reading the manuscript for you?"
"I haven’t finished reading it yet, because many very novel genera have been deeply attracted. Please ask the generals to give more to them and let them read and think carefully."
Of course, but you can watch it as long as you want.
Su Yonglin patted him on the shoulder. "Seeing more may give you a different perspective."
"It’s a matter of doubt and sentiment. After reading it, find the general and seriously discuss it. Please give him your advice."
"certain"
Su Yonglin nodded with a smile
"Thank you, General."
Xin Qiji saluted respectfully and then straightened up and said, "The general’s eyes are true. It is correct to deny that storming the real city is the right thing to do."
Su Yonglin Lianqu smiled and nodded his head.
"I don’t think this is the right thing to do. It’s true that the city wall is tall, the moat is wide and deep, and the loss of the storm will dampen the spirit of our army."
"So I think our army needs to find another way, and if the main force of our army is delayed, it will greatly affect the attack on the state capital of Hebei West Road, which will make the gold thief sometimes organize more troops to launch a counterattack, which is an unsustainable siege."
Xin Qiji said, "If we can leave an army to besiege the city, we should quickly March northward and call on more people to resist and pull up the situation. We can’t delay the March and let the northern gold thieves sometimes organize troops."
Su Yonglin looked at Zhending City.
"It is reported that there are more troops in the real city and many jurchen mouths can be turned into regular soldiers at any time. If we stay in Serenade and can’t encircle the city, it will be difficult to keep more troops and make progress. Now we are in a dilemma."
Xin Qiji thought about it and felt that it was indeed a problem.
The way to solve this problem is naturally to continue to ask for more troops from the rear, which is of course feasible, but the pressure on grain production will be even greater
During the war, the logistics supply of the allied forces was on the one hand to win the victory army camp, on the other hand to capture the grain depots in various places, and on the other hand, to support the local strongmen and armed forces to maintain the logistics of the allied forces.
It takes a lot of preparation to increase the strength in all aspects.
And this situation is obviously the most important.
Su Yonglin felt that he had lost the initiative in this battle with his hands down and his head down, which meant that he was led by the city defenders.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Losing the initiative in the battlefield is a very serious matter and must not be taken lightly.
Although the siege is mostly like this, the strategic offensive posture of our own place has been clamped down by a strong city and lost the initiative, which is very unfavorable
We must regain the initiative.
How to regain the initiative?
Su Yonglin’s sight really set the city and the Hutuo River embankment turning back and forth, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Young Ann, I have an idea."
"Ah?"
Xin Qiji asked quickly, "What can I do?"
"Take back the initiative!"
Su Yonglin smiled and said, "Do you know the battle against Yecheng when Cao Cao attacked Hebei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?"
"Cao Cao attacked Yecheng?"
Xin Qiji thought for a moment and said, "I have heard about it, but I don’t know about it."
Su Yonglin pointed to the Hutuo River.
"What is this?"
