Chapter 228

Everyone looked at Wei Ran. Just now they seemed quite sure of what he said.

Wei Ran looked up and said, "the leader is my father. He is the God of war of the Tang Dynasty, and there are 20000 elite soldiers around him. Even if the military food is about to run out, I believe he will not be in distress. He must be looking for the flaws of the thief army and look for an opportunity to attack!"

If this sentence is about other generals, no one will take it seriously. But it's about Li Chengye. Every time he fights, he wins more with less and hits the strong with weak. Moreover, most of them are big and complete victories, with very few casualties on his side. Therefore, it must be convincing to describe Li Chengye.

Wei Ran continued: "but after all, there are 130000 thieves. They are besieged layer by layer, deep trenches and high bases, and the defense line is stable, which also limits the movement of our cavalry. My father may not be so easy to find the flaw of the thief army. These days, the two sides must be testing each other, so the 3000 elite riding power here has become the key to breaking the deadlock! "

Princess Shouning looked at the highland where Wei Ran pointed and the army position of Wang Xianzhi shrouded in the fog of war. She said suspiciously, "but even if the siege of the thief army is broken, most of the 20000 tongpaos under the command of the county Marquis are infantry. How can she escape from the pursuit of the thief army with cavalry?"

Wei Ran looked at the princess with sharp eyes. "Up to now, our army has no way back!"

He emphasized his tone on the word "retreat", then swept the faces of the officers and soldiers with aggressive eyes, slapped them on the map and said loudly: "therefore, saving 20000 robes is not the purpose of this war! What we want to fight is not a breakthrough battle, but a counterattack, a strategic decisive battle! Either the thief dies or I die! "

What courage is this? Even at the end of the mountain, what I think is not how to escape, how to save myself, but how to turn around and kill my opponent! Kill your opponent!

Wei Ran's spirit at this time is just like that of his father when he led the army to fight against strong enemies such as Jiedu envoys in border towns, Tubo and Huihe. Even if the troops were at a disadvantage, even if the weather and geography were not up to me, he could kill all the enemies and Jedi counterattack!

This is not the adopted son of the Li family. It is clear that he has got the true biography of Li Chengye!

Wei Ran's words stabilized the morale of the army and temporarily persuaded the people. Under the authorization of the current chief officer, Princess Shouning, he led three thousand divine strategists in the city to prepare to go east to Xuzhou to fight a Jedi counterattack.

Wei Ran asked the whole army to disarm, only wearing leather armor. All the officers and men had only one short soldier, one long soldier, one riding bow, six bags of arrow bags and 180 arrows. Another person has two horses. If there are not enough horses, he will forcibly levy mules and horses from the regiment training. That is, the donkey can take up and carry five days of food and grass.

If the food and grass were finished by then, Wei Ran would not care about the general interests of military discipline. He would certainly collect food from the remaining manor fortress. Dare not? With the halberd in hand, even if he kills a man who has no heir, he can't listen to the military order!

At this time, it is false to talk about etiquette, righteousness, integrity, benevolence, righteousness and morality. What strategists do is only for victory and defeat! If there is any curse afterwards, the big husband dare to act and bear it!

In the afternoon, the army was assembled. Wei Ran was ready to step on Dawan horse and lead the army. All the soldiers of the city came to the east gate to see them off.

Li Guangsi suddenly ran forward. Wei Ran did not allow him to follow him and tied him to the room. I don't know when he broke free of the rope and ran out, "brother, I'm going to save my father!"

Wei Ran looked at him, "you can't improve your combat effectiveness. Stay here honestly."

"No, dad is in danger. I'm the son of the Li family. I have to fight with my father!"

"Just because you are the son of the Li family, you must stay here. The Li family can kill me, not you!"

"But..."

"Nothing, but go back!"

"Big brother!"

Li Guangsi was about to kneel down to Wei Ran. Wei Ran grabbed his skirt and lifted it up. Ignoring Li Guangsi's tears and begging, he shouted: "Li jiaerlang, kneel down and kneel down to his parents! No one else is worth kneeling down, Li Guangsi, you remember! Be honest and stay in the city until my father and I return in triumph. If you can't wait... Then take the princess and escape back to Chang'an alive. The Li family depends on you now! "

Wei Yanyi pushed it out for three or four feet, jumped on the horse's back, and the war horse hissed. Wei Yanda halberd pointed to the East, "I know that the life and death of this trip is unknown, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable. It is very likely to be a near death situation. God makes things happen, man makes them happen!

I, Li Dingguo, dare not pat my chest to ensure the success or failure of this war, but the only thing I can swear is that I will take the lead in charging! Retreat, I will break the back! If a brother is trapped, even if he doesn't want his life, Li Dingguo will never abandon him! If you can trust Li, go with Li to save the 20000 robes! "

At this time, someone among the cavalry shouted, "there are no cowards in the Zuo Shence army. As long as the leader doesn't hesitate to die, we are the yellow spring of hell and dare to walk on!"

It is Xu er who once performed tasks with Wei Ran in the scouting team. He knows Wei Ran's ability very well, so he makes a voice to support him first.

"In the first war outside bianzhou City, a family had wolf teeth and arrows. Thanks to the rescue of the major general in the wounded camp, this life was sold to the major general. It must follow in the water and fire!"

At this time, someone mentioned the wounded camp. Suddenly, many of the cavalry were moved. Wei Ran established the system of field hospital, which won a considerable part of his military support for him.

In addition, he vowed never to give up after he retreated in front of the charge. Even if the doubts of the three thousand cavalry did not disappear, their morale was stable and they were willing to go out with Wei Huo.

However, in order to truly refine the general's heart and restore his morale, Wei Ran must prove his ability with actual combat. Only by letting everyone see the hope of victory, this elite soldier will really become a sharp sword in his hand!

All the people in the city looked at Wei Ran's three thousand elite riders and went away. They bowed down and worshipped. All their hopes for the victory and defeat of the war rested on this.

Princess Shouning didn't take back her sight for a long time. After the maid around her reminded her, she came back and organized the regiment training in the city to carry out basic urban defense work with the people.

When I returned to my room at night, I thought that the back road was cut off, and I had not reported the military situation to Chang'an for nearly half a month. I think Chaozhong is already in doubt. If this defeat is returned to the DPRK, I'm afraid it will cause great unrest, and even the father's condition may become more serious.

But Princess Shouning had to find a way to convey the general's feelings. At this time, even the worst news is better than unnecessary speculation in all kinds of anxiety.

So she recorded everything she knew recently on paper in Juanxiu's font, and described in detail everything Wei Ran analyzed in front of the public recently, including the fact that he led the army.

Another maid was called overnight. After the two elders of Kongtong died in the war, this person was sent by the emperor from Chang'an. She grew up in the palace when she was young and learned the best martial arts collected in the palace many times. Although his reputation is not obvious, he has long been an expert in the congenital environment. He used to protect the crown prince secretly, but now he specially came to protect Princess Shouning.

Princess Shouning entrusted her to send the secret letter back to the court. The maid was quite suspicious. She knew that the war was dangerous at this time. If she left, there would be no powerful expert protection around the princess, so she was worried.

Princess Shouning explained the pros and cons again and again. Such an expert should not be intimidated, but moved by emotion. The matter involved the safety of the Tang Dynasty. The maid finally agreed. She disguised herself overnight and went to Chang'an.
