Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

At night, Shouchun, Chengtou.

Liu Yu sat on a hu bed and looked at the night battlefield outside the city. In the Qin army camp more than ten miles away, sadness and joy mixed with crying and came down the wind, although he could not understand the language of the Hu people. , But he could hear the sorrow and fear in it. He knew that this was Qin Jun ’s way of doing things to evoke the souls of the warriors who died in the daytime. Since he talked to Murong Nam about this reincarnation of Buddhism, he suddenly felt a little inexplicably sad. Today, when I heard the melodious sounds of Hu Ji and Qiang Flute in the enemy camp, my heart actually fluctuated.

Murongnan's voice came from behind Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, what's wrong with you, are you sad?"

Liu Yu sighed softly: "It's nothing, but suddenly there is some kind of mourning heart. You are right. These Generals of the Qin Army also have their own family, wives, children, and parents. Now that they are dead, how sad will the family be. I hope that in their afterlife, there will be no more wars and no more deaths. "

Speaking of which, Liu Yu stood up and looked back at Murong Nan: "Brother Murong, you should now be in the granary of Shishifu. Why did you come here?"

Murong Nan smiled slightly: "I asked Barry Black to patrol them on shift. In the afternoon, I have been on duty. Now it is time for me to rest. Why, I give up the rest and come over to see you, is it okay?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "Of course, but I am more worried about the granary now. After you left, I received a letter from the flying eagle outside the city. Hu Bin's five thousand people have already settled in Luojian, fifty miles south of the city. The camp was built, and Xuanshuai's Beifu Army was ready to go. General Xuanshuo Tuohu told us that he was very supportive of our decision to stay in Shouchun and would do his best to rescue him. I think if he knows Today's situation will be more happy. "

A trace of confusion flashed in Murongnan's eyes, and his eyes looked at the gleaming Qin Jun Daying in the distance: "Liu Yu, I haven't asked you something, this time staying with Shouchun, your real thought is What? Would you like to succeed once again, defend this Shouchun City, and then be promoted further in the army? "

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Murong, why would you look at me like this? I have never had such a utilitarian heart. There are only two reasons for staying at Shouchun. One is that Shouchun cannot be lost. This is about the victory of the entire Qin Jin War Negative, both the assembly of the Beifu Army and the collection of grain and grass will take time, so the marriage is to fight for time, so that Huan Yi can invest his troops and stay here for more than a month, do n’t you forget? "

Murong Nan gritted his teeth: "However, because of the failure of the marriage, Huanyi did not send reinforcements. In this case, you can leave completely. Why should you put yourself in such a dangerous situation?"

Liu Yu didn't answer immediately. He pointed to the city in front of him and the city behind him, saying, "This is why I stayed. As a result, Shouchun City, as a major town in Huainan, resisted the Qin front and has been defending it for many years. The city ’s fortifications, grain and grass are well-preserved. Even if our army has insufficient strength, it can still be resisted by this strong city. Moreover, Shouchun City is not large and does not require too many troops to defend. With the current thousands of troops , Enough to block the enemy for at least a month. "

"As for the people in this city, they are all locals, and they have their property and foundations in the city. If we as soldiers, we will retreat without fighting and leave their life savings here, so why not bear it? Is it right? They retreated all the way from Pengcheng, Huaibei, throwing away all their family business. With every step back, resentment and anger will accumulate. If these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians retreat all the way to the south, even if they arrive in Guangling, they will fail. Frustration can even affect the morale of the Beifu Army. This cannot happen. "

Murong Nan nodded: "So, do you think that Shou Chun can be defended and must also be defended, this battle must be fought, only to stay?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It is precisely that I have the confidence to keep the Shouchun City. In fact, the most important thing to keep the city is the morale of the army. If all the aspirations are achieved, there is nothing that can't be done. This battle also proves this, Now as long as we are not chaotic internally and guard against fire attacks, then I have full confidence to hold Shou Chun for a month! "

Murong Nan sighed: "Even if you hold on for a month, what will happen after that month? Will the reinforcements come?"

Liu Yu's face changed: "Murong, what do you mean? The reinforcements have arrived outside the city. After a month, the main force of the army will come here to fight the enemy as planned, and there will be no variables."

Murong Nan shook his head: "Liu Yu, don't think of people too well, we are all people who say things lightly, they are plain pawns, even if they are Xie Xuan, if he judges that this is not the best place for a decisive battle, You will never be led by the army because of you alone. After all, if you come, it is a decisive battle! "

Liu Yu nodded his head and said in a straight voice: "We are here to drag down and weaken the main force of the Qin army to create the most favorable opportunity for the decisive battle of the army. If we can hold on for a month and repel the Qin army's attack, we can To achieve this goal, Xuanshuai supports our choices without telling us to break through or give up. He will not harm me, I am very sure about this. "

Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ and sighed: "If Qin Jun wouldn't attack the city from now on, would it be a siege? If Qin Jun's main force rested in the back, would these 50,000 Qin troops come to attack the city? "

Liu Yu's heart moved. He hadn't considered it seriously. He shook his head a little and said, "No, Qin Jun's pioneering Di Jun this time is to quickly overcome Shouchun. It was shown to the hundreds of thousands of alien soldiers in the back, letting them see the hope and benefits of annihilating Jin. From the day ’s offensive and defensive battles, we can see that they used all their strength, almost all the siege methods were used, and the losses were also Very heavy. The thousands of elites we wiped out today cannot be exchanged for the Qin army by the recruitment of 100,000 aliens. Even if they avenge their hatred, they will not stop! "

Murong Nan smiled a little: "It's like the clover, it loses a lot in the front, there is a person who loses his eyes, he puts all the chips on, and wants to turn over the book, but another kind of person, then He is much more sensible, he will close his hands in time to avoid losing more, or rather, slowly press the small chips a few times, find a feeling, and wait for the opportunity to shoot. Liu Yu, I heard that you were good at gambling before I should be familiar with what I said. "

Liu Yu hooked his mouth and said, "But I said just now that this battle was shown to other soldiers of all races, and it was a battle of momentum. If you stop in this Shouchun City, those who are called will come The alien soldiers who were unwilling to join the army would have their minds floating and unwilling to fight, and the damage to the Qin army would only be greater.
