Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

After hearing this, Tian Hu's face showed confusion at first, and then surprise.

After a long time, he finally showed an expression that seemed to understand:

"If you think about it carefully, this method is indeed good."

"But now, the Song Dynasty army led by the current master has arrived at Dagu City, not far from us."

"If that army continues to advance during this period, even if our strategy just now is successful, it may not take long for our capital to fall."

"If our capital no longer exists, then no matter how well the strategy is formulated, what's the point?"

While Ma Ling stroked his beard, a pair of thin eyebrows were also frowning vigorously.

But not long after, he came up with a better idea:

"It's such a difficult problem, but it's nothing."

"As long as the poor man implements a small plan, the Song army will not dare to continue to attack the city."

Tian Hu immediately became happy when he heard this:

"Master, tell me how to do it quickly. Don't make any detours."

Ma Ling stroked his beard and chuckled, and then came to the desk with Tian Hu.

Facing the battle map, they started whispering.

……

But he said that the attack speed in Zhongshi was really getting slower and slower.

Fortunately, it was good in the past few days. Whenever Zhong Shi led a large army to attack various cities under Tian Hu's command, the armies and horses of both sides could still fight back and forth.

The generals under Tian Hu were also quite active when sending troops to fight.

But in the past few days, as the battle progressed to the end, it became more and more difficult for Zhongshi and his generals.

There is no other reason than that the generals in the cities under Tian Hu's command have taken the initiative to fight less and less.

If in normal times, the generals under the command of Fan Zhongshi called out the formation to General Tian Hu in those cities several times, they would be able to attract soldiers and horses in the city to attack.

But now?

Even if the generals under the command of Zhongshi marched thousands of troops not far from the city under Tian Hu's command and scolded the formation for two or three days, the other side might not send troops even once.

Scenes like this had almost never happened before.

In Tian Hu's army, such a passive fighting method was the most unacceptable to the generals under his command.

After all, those General Tian Hu who were guarding the city were all waiting for work.

Moreover, the food, wages, and weapons in each city are enough to defend the city for several months.

On the other hand, what about this place among the seed masters?

Since they traveled a long distance to fight here, both in terms of military rations and weapons, they were not as sufficient as those who defended the city under Tian Hu's command.

Without the heavy firepower of tanks and chariots, once Tian Hu's army only defends the city without attacking.

So the pressure on grain and grass will soon come to the growers.

If this part of the army wants to avoid retreating, then there are only the following options before him:

One is to allocate grain and grass from Tokyo to support the army's continued conquest.

But in this case, it will inevitably take more than ten or even twenty days to transport food.

What if Tian Hu’s spies learned about the grain adjustment order in the seed division, and then sent a large number of troops and horses to snatch the grain in the seed division?

In that case, the variables on the battlefield would be unpredictable.

The second is to capture the Otani City in front of us as quickly as possible.

In this way, the Song Dynasty army under Zhong Shizhong only needs to use the money, silver, grain and grass in Dagu City as needed for the army.

But this approach is not realistic for current cultivation masters.

Because this Dagu City is close to Tian Hu's capital Taiyuan, the outer city wall of Dagu City has long been widened and thickened by Tian Hu's order.

With such a city wall, if the division does not have tanks and chariots, it is simply impossible to conquer it in a short time.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent is adopting such a passive tactics at this moment, it is even more impossible to capture this strong city in a short period of time.

So now, the problem facing the farmers has become one of delaying and failing, and fighting and fighting.

If we delay for a long time, our own military rations will be used up first.

At that time, we will have to withdraw our troops.

And what about fighting?

Since there is no attack bonus from tanks and chariots, it is impossible to capture the entire Otani City before the food and grass are exhausted.

The farmer was very upset.

But the several generals and dozens of deputy generals under his command felt equally uncomfortable.

When he gets tired every day, he will run to the gate of Dugu City and yell at the top of his lungs that the other person is a coward.

But at this time, the other party seemed to have received some clear order.

The dozens of generals under the command of the master were allowed to take turns yelling and scolding, but they didn't respond.

Seeing that the army's food and grass were being used less and less, the time spent here was getting longer and longer.

With no choice but to do so, the seed master could only order to send two troops to the capital and Jiexiu city respectively.

The purpose of a group of people rushing to the capital is to mobilize food and grass from the capital to help fight a protracted siege here.

And what about the soldiers and horses sent to Jiexiu City?

The purpose was to ask the soldiers guarding the tanks and chariots how long it would take before all the pits and rubble could be cleared and the tanks and chariots could be driven over.

If there is a team that can complete the tasks assigned by Zhongshi by then, it will be extremely beneficial to conquer the Otani City in front of us.

But among the troops, just three days after sending out the two troops, he received a letter from General Tian Hu.

To be precise, it should be a peace negotiation letter.

Perhaps for other commanders, as long as they can receive a surrender letter from the enemy on the battlefield.

They should be extremely excited in their hearts.

After all, we can achieve a decisive victory in this battle without fighting or the bloodshed and sacrifice of our soldiers.

No matter how you say it, it's a great thing.

However, when the Lieutenant General of the Planting Division read this letter of surrender from front to back, he still felt indescribably weird in his heart.

After thinking hard to no avail, he had no choice but to summon all the generals under his command to the commander's tent.

And discussed with them how to deal with this letter of surrender.

Because that wise man Wu Yong is the core think tank of the entire army.

Therefore, at this time, it is reasonable for him to analyze this letter of surrender for everyone present.

And when Wu Yong took the surrender letter in his hand and read it carefully from front to back.

Those eyebrows frowned deeper.
