Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 901: Misjudgment of the situation, huge advantage

"That boy Wang Chang, he's been a little weird these past two days!"

Just when the entire Fanyang County was about to be shaken, Dai County itself seemed quite peaceful. However, Dangcheng on the other side of the Juma River looked even more gloomy, with an unspeakable chilling atmosphere.

The middle army led by Wang Chang and Ruan Bao had already surrounded Nadang City after breaking the momentum.

At this time, the number of soldiers and horses besieging the city alone was close to 3!

The man who led the siege was Ruan Bao, who had been defeated once before in Daijun.

But now Ruan Bao seemed a little irritable, pacing back and forth anxiously in his marching tent, waiting for the news to come back, and kept muttering.

His staff was a little puzzled by this look, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why is the general so anxious? The situation is great now. The city has been surrounded, and not even a fly can fly out. He couldn't fly in. Although Yang Song still had some skills and tried his best to block it with rolling stones, wooden stakes and the like, looking at his situation today, he was already exhausted and the city would be destroyed in just two days. , maybe we can send a message down tomorrow! Let them surrender without a fight!"

Ruan Bao sneered, glanced at the staff member, and said: "Humph, I want to avenge my shame this time, but I can't delay my meritorious service!"

As he said that, he looked at the other lieutenants and staff with different expressions in the camp, and decided to give them a breath of air: "Because of my previous defeat, the position of the general is no longer stable. Fortunately, you are still here." You respect me as a general, but I don’t have much prestige in the eyes of Wang Chang and the others. Before sending troops this time, the general told me that he, Wang Chang, is the leader and I am the assistant. Even contacting the general has to go to Wang Chang. If I want to deliver a letter to the general, it has to go through the hands of Wang Chang. No matter what I do and how many military achievements I have, if he adds jealousy and turns around and hands it to the general, I'm afraid it will become the same as that of Wang Chang. Under his wise leadership and calm mobilization, the achievements have been achieved.”

"This matter is particularly worrying!" Several staff members nodded. This was also something they were worried about.

One of them said: "The leader is out there. In addition to defeating the enemy, the more important thing is to implement the superior's intention. Only by combining the two can the battle go smoothly. General, you must do something great now. After all, the big When the general sent out troops, he specifically told the general that he hoped that you would be able to make meritorious deeds and that this matter must not be taken lightly."

Afterwards, another one came forward and said: "And even if it is taken down by a single city, it may not be a great achievement, because in our opinion, the key lies in Dai County! We are so entangled here. For a long time, I am afraid that he has been working for General Wang's overall goal. It is very likely that he just wants General to surround the city without attacking, thereby attracting the surrounding Daijun reinforcements and exterminating them one by one. "

Then a general couldn't help but echoed: "This is a safe dispatch, and it is correct to defeat the enemy. Our Youzhou army is mighty, with three lines of attack, 10,000+ combat troops, plus logistical equipment, known as 30 is not an exaggeration. With such a huge advantage, as long as we directly crush it, we can win. And General Wang also implemented the strategy of encirclement and reinforcements. He is sure to win Daijun, but it is too slow. It is so slow. As we continue to struggle, we don’t know what year or month it will be until Daijun is conquered. Maybe it’s time to harvest all the wheat outside the city.”

This man's speech was quite coherent, and he looked quite well-educated. In fact, he was an in-law of Ruan Bao. Other generals were not as clear-minded as he was when they spoke.

Immediately, a general with a beard jumped out and shouted: "How can we be so passive? Maybe Wang Chang asked us to besiege the city here to prevent the soldiers and horses from Dangcheng County from rushing out to support Dai County! It's not possible at all! We didn't think about letting us break the city before we reached this moment. We didn't give any specific instructions to come here. We also prevented the news from coming from the general. Otherwise, it had been two or three days, and in the end, there was no order from the general. Come on, it’s so abnormal!”

"You really need to worry about it..."

After listening to the words of several subordinates, Ruan Bao suddenly narrowed his eyes, stopped pacing, and returned to his seat to do his job, and suddenly said: "I will attack the city tonight!" "What?"

What greeted his order was everyone's surprised looks and expressions of surprise.

"What? Everyone was very good at talking just now, but now they are worried and scared when they hear that they are going to violate the order?" Ruan Bao glanced at everyone and showed a slightly cruel smile, "The analysis is clear and logical, then you guys tell me , how to break the current deadlock?”

When he asked, no one said anything.

Just now, I followed Shangguan's words and highlighted a common enemy to enhance the relationship and closeness between the two parties. But now the Zhonglang in charge will be Wang Chang. It is very taboo in the army to act beyond the authority without going through Wang Chang. .

You disobeyed orders today and attacked the city indiscriminately, causing losses. Whose responsibility is it?Can I attack the headquarters on my own tomorrow, drive Wang Chang off, and take command myself?

If he really sat down, maybe even Wang Jun would be angry. After all, once the order of the top and bottom was broken, he, the highest person in the two states, would inevitably be in crisis and felt that he had to rectify his subordinates.

Thinking of the dangerous place, Ruan Bao's in-law couldn't help but advise: "This matter should be considered in the long run. After all, Nadang City has also shown considerable combat power in the past two days. If the pressure is too tight..."

"What kind of combat power can Dangcheng have?" Ruan Bao shook his head, "The reason why we felt that there were some twists and turns before was not because he regarded him as strong in combat power, but because this is Dai County, which is his territory of Chen Zhi, so we did it in advance. After making the arrangements, think about it carefully, did the previous damages happen to you on the way? Most of them were ambushes and traps. In fact, there are not many ambushes. If you think about it, they also know that there are more people than us. They are looking for death! So most of them are still traps, and they are really fighting. In fact, even today, but today..."

He looked at the staff member who was the first to speak, still sneering: "As you said, their fatigue is showing. I am afraid there are not many stones and logs left in the city. They are thinking about what will happen tomorrow. As for defending the city, to be honest, the reason why we restrained today is because of the deterrent of the single-shot cannon. But once we understand what is going on, we don't have to worry at all. As long as we don't panic, the fire cannon will fall. , how many people can be injured? I am quite experienced with this single-shot cannon."

Everyone couldn't help but murmur, you have already lost to Daijun once, so you have rich experience.

But I couldn't say anything, so I could only advise: "But attacking the city at night..."

Ruan Bao waved his hand and said impatiently: "We want to be surprised, and we also have an advantage at night. I think freely, and if I want to do it, I will do my best. You don't need to worry. In short, this siege has great advantages. Da, once you win, you have the chips in hand. When you see Wang Chang again, you must let him know that I, Ruan Bao, am not someone to be trifled with! I will not swallow my anger and let him dictate to me!"

After saying that, he stood up, waved his hand, and felt very high-spirited!
"This is also the beginning of the city's destruction. There is no one in Dai County to save. The only thing I worry about is who has the greatest merit in front of the general!"
