Great Sui God of War, great strength at the beginning!

Chapter 276 Before the battle of Xiangguo County, Su Dingfang failed to offer advice
Xiangguo County

Xiangguo County
three days later

"According to the message sent by His Royal Highness King Qin, General Qin Qiong will lead [-] troops to support Xiangguo County this time."

The chief general of Xiangguo County is a member of a family named Tao Wenli. He is not a military general who fights on the battlefield. On the contrary, he is a Confucian general, but it is not known whether he has real materials.

"If the general is not mistaken, the follow-up troops of their military army should have arrived at the city of Xiangguo County almost today, and General Qin should take about three days."

Hou Junji sat on the next seat, frowning slightly.

"This? General Hou Junji, how many troops does the military army have in total?"

Tao Wenli also frowned. He was originally a member of a noble family. Although he was in troubled times, he had never faced war directly. sit on it.

Although I still have a bit of literature in my chest, and I have read a few volumes of military books, but if I really practice it, I am afraid that I will be a little powerless.

"Tao Taishou, as far as the general knows, there are Xue Rengui, Pei Yuanqing, and Yuwen Chengdu three major generals in the armed forces. There are nearly [-] cavalry, and if the infantry is added up, there may be [-] to [-]!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, the teacup that Tao Wenli had brought to the corner of his mouth slipped from his hand and fell to pieces.

"This?!" Tao Wenli knew that he had lost his composure, and immediately suppressed the fear in his heart. He looked at the twenty or so generals and counselors in the field with slightly flustered eyes and asked:

"Everyone, everyone has heard what General Hou said. They have an army of nearly [-]. What should we do?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss, you, the chief general, didn't know, they were just generals, lieutenants, and ordinary counselors, how could they know what to do?
Hou Junji looked at the people in the room panic-stricken, looking at their noses and their hearts, and was so angry that he couldn't speak. Hou Junji suppressed the irritability in his heart, stood up and looked at Tao Wenli. hand over.

"Prefect Tao, how many defenders does our Xiangguo County currently have?"

For the past three days, Hou Junji has basically been recuperating from his injuries. The injury has just healed, and Hou Junji immediately came to the county guard's mansion, but Hou Junji is not very careful with the guards of Xiangguo County. learn.

"This?" Tao Wenli was taken aback. How could he know how many defenders there were in Xiangguo County?

After Tao Wenli became the general and prefect of Xiangguo County, because of his backing to Bingzhou Taiyuan, this Xiangguo County has never faced an enemy, basically it has always been in peace, and Tao Wenli, the prefect, is also extremely Leisurely, from time to time, I just discuss poetry and songs with my servants, or play with antiques, and what's more, I entertain guests. That small life is really very nourishing.

Hou Jun was so excited that he was almost jumping his feet. Where did he choose this wonderful thing? A majestic county guard who doesn't even know how many guards are in his own army. What's wrong?

Not only was Hou Junji not very clear, even the generals and lieutenants below kept their heads down and said nothing, as if it had nothing to do with them.

"General Hou Qi, the number of defenders in Xiangguo County is about 5000, [-] cavalry, and there are a lot of defense equipment. Those defense equipment can support Xiangguo County for half a year!"

At this time, a young general stood up and bowed to Hou Junji.

"Oh? Who are you? What is your official position?"

Tao Wenli asked in surprise when he saw that this young general knew about his defense in Xiangguo County.

"Reporting to Taishou Tao, General Hui Hou, the last general is named Su Dingfang, and he is just an ordinary eighth-rank county captain in Xiangguo County."

"A little eight-rank county captain, how do you know this? Are you a member of the military army?"

A general stood up and pointed at Su Dingfang and said angrily.

"Give this general back down!"

Before Su Dingfang could refute, Hou Junji stood up and angrily reprimanded the partial general.

I was at a loss for words for a moment, I didn't know how to say it, and I stood there at a loss.

"As the generals of Xiangguo County, you don't know that the defense force of Xiangguo County is not as good as a county lieutenant. Now you are accusing me, do you have any shame!?"

Hou Junji was very angry, he really was burning with anger, the group of people in Xiangguo County are just a bunch of drunks and riches!
From Hou Junji's point of view, the young general named Su Dingfang in the county guard's mansion is still a figure.

"General Hou, what does this mean? Is this accusing me, Tao, of someone?!"

Tao Wenli frowned, and looked at Hou Junji very dissatisfied. Hou Junji's words can be said to have scolded himself. What is your identity? You, Hou Junji, were only promoted by the King of Qin. It's just muddy legs, why should I show off here?

"Prefect Tao, the lower officials didn't mean that, it's just that they..."

Hou Junji was also surprised, he was indeed a bit pretentious, and immediately wanted to explain.

"No more!"

Before Hou Junji finished speaking, Tao Wenli interrupted directly.

"Huh! The prefect naturally has the intention of the prefect when he does things. You can do it. Now, what we should discuss is how to resist the armed forces, instead of blaming each other here!"

Tao Wenli's remark was quite brilliant, Hou Junji did not refute it, and the partial general who was accused by Hou Junji was also pardoned, and hurriedly sat back on his seat.

As for the county lieutenant Su Dingfang, he seemed to be a stranger inside and out, standing in the lobby, not knowing what to do next.

Tao Wenli didn't seem to see Su Dingfang, so he skipped Su Dingfang and said:

"Everyone, now we only need to do one thing, and that is how to use [-] troops to resist the [-] troops of the military army. The ancients said that five times the attack, our [-] troops, How long can it last?"

Tao Wenli has been the prefect of Xiangguo County for nearly ten years, and he is deeply entrenched in Xiangguo County. Not only that, but also Tao Wenli is the son-in-law of five surnames and Qiwang, with an extraordinary status, and the Li family treats him slightly. Courtesy, everyone saw that Tao Wenli had said that, so they naturally followed the words, and Hou Junji had no choice but to skip it.

"Don't worry about the prefect. What about their [-] soldiers? Our Xiangguo County has a three-foot-high city tower. If they want to attack it in a short time, it is a fool's dream!"

The general who was reprimanded by Hou Junji immediately stood up and said with his head held up very confidently.

"Well, this general thinks so too!"

Tao Wenli sat smiling, stroking his beard with one hand.

"You can't say that. The fighting power of the Wu army is well known in the world. You must know that Liu Heita's tens of thousands of elites disappeared overnight. We must not underestimate them! "

Hou Junji saw that everyone in the field looked as if they were sure of winning, so he couldn't help but say something.

"General Hou is too unreasonable to worry about the sky. You also said at the beginning that Liu Heita was beaten by the military army because of the exhaustion of the soldiers and the lack of morale, and the sudden attack. Annihilated the entire army, but we are different!"

"Our Tang army is powerful, with sufficient armaments, a strong city, high morale, and Tao Taishou personally commanding them. No matter how many armed forces they come to, it will be useless!"

Tao Wenli was very happy when this general was talking big, but at the same time he didn't forget to praise his boss.

"That's right, General Hou, you are worrying too much. The Qin Qiong sent by His Royal Highness Qin Qiong has [-] elites. According to their marching speed, they can reach our Xiangguo County within three days. Our Xiangguo County is so strong. There are still [-] defenders and countless armaments in the city, so if they can withstand the armed forces for three days, that is more than enough! Hahaha!"

Tao Wenli, who was still in a panic, had completely floated up, stood up, still stroking his beard on his chin with one hand, his face full of confidence.

"You can't say that, General Tao, their military army is full of tricks, and Xue Rengui, Yuwen Chengdu, and Pei Yuanqing are three great generals in the world. They are known as the three masters of the martial arts. If they gather in Xiangguo County, then we must face the thunderous offensive of the Wu army!"

Hou Junji looked at the crowd who didn't care, and was very anxious. This is really because the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry!
"Hou Junji!"

Tao Wenli was already completely displeased. At the beginning, it was because Hou Junji was promoted by Li Shimin himself that he showed some respect to him, but now Hou Junji repeatedly refuted him, which obviously did not put himself in the right place. In his eyes, how could Tao Wenli let this muddy leg ride on his head!
"Stop scaremongering here. You have been talking about us from the very beginning. You have been raising the momentum of the military and destroying our own prestige. What is your intention?!"

It can be said that Tao Wenli didn't give face at all, Hou Junji was stunned, and didn't know what to say.

Hou Junji is dedicated to Li Tang, and Hou Junji has truly seen the ability of Wu Jun, and even Xue Rengui's ability. Xue Rengui's ability is absolutely first-class in history. As a result, these idiots He didn't care about it!

"General Hou, you are raising the momentum of others and destroying your own prestige. Let's talk about it ten thousand steps back. General Hou, do you think their armed forces can break through our Xiangguo County within three days?"

The partial general who was hated by Hou Junji at that time also quickly echoed Tao Wenli, stood up and asked disdainfully.

Everyone nodded repeatedly. If you said that you have beaten Wu Jun, it must be impossible, but if you resist Wu Jun for three days, everyone present thinks that there will be no problem.

After all, whether it is the strong city walls or the powerful defense equipment in Xiangguo County, there is nothing to say. Even if the Wu army has more than [-] troops, then don't even think about eating them in Xiangguo County in a short time!
Hou Junji was at a loss for words, sighed slightly, apologized to Tao Wenli, saluted and retreated, after all, he was just an outsider.

"Reporting to the prefect, it is not impossible for the Wu army to break through Xiangguo County within three days!"

Su Dingfang, the young player who had been standing in the field, continued to persuade Tao Wenli.

"Hmph! The ignorant boy, is he worthy of discussing military affairs here? Still don't back down!"

"Huangkou boy, you little county lieutenant, you actually came here to scare us, are you tired of your life!?"

All the counselors and generals looked at Su Dingfang with disdain, their tone full of disgust.

Only the general who promoted Su Dingfang sighed again and again, but he couldn't do anything. The strength of one person is really too weak.

"Hmph! Then tell me, how powerful is their military force capable of capturing this general's Xiangguo County within three days!?"

"If you say something bad, then you will be dealt with by military law!"

Tao Wenli sat on the armchair and looked at Su Dingfang with unfriendly eyes. An ignorant child actually dared to educate him.

Don't you know how to fight?
"Reporting to the prefect, their [-] troops are far more numerous than ours, and they are still the elites of the Wu Dynasty who defeated Tubo, with one as ten..."

"So what if one counts as ten? How much worse are our Tang troops? And we are still defending the city!"

A Xiangguo Sima immediately interrupted Su Dingfang's words, and refuted with disdain.

"They came from a long distance. They don't even have siege equipment except for food. Even if they do it now, how much can they do? There are also Xue Rengui, Pei Yuanqing, and Yuwen Chengdu, as you say, who are excellent in martial arts, but they are just personal martial arts. Forget it, if we come to attack the city, we just need to shoot all the arrows and shoot them into a sieve!"

"Hahaha, okay, Xu Sima's words are polite!"

Tao Wenli applauded happily after hearing Xu Sima's rebuttal.

Hou Junji sneered in a very low voice, a bunch of pretentious but incompetent idiots, it's hard for Li Tang not to lose with people like you.

"Qi report to the prefect, there is a battalion in the military army, called Shenji Camp, which is full of skilled craftsmen, and can make a lot of equipment within three days, and there is also Wu'an County, a hundred miles behind Xiangshan Mountain, where there are many people. There are a lot of equipment, if the Wu army takes Wu'an County, then all the siege equipment will belong to their Wu army."

Su Dingfang was obviously stubborn, and still insisted on his own ideas.

"General Tao, this officer thinks that we can't sit still and wait for death. Instead, we should take the initiative to harass the armed forces with rockets. The two armies will act as assistants, disrupt their work and rest as much as possible, and delay the time for the armed forces to attack the city!"

"It's nonsense! If the Wu army outflanks us at this time, wouldn't we be the soft-shelled turtles! What's your intention? Are you the one who ambushed us by the Wu Dynasty!"

A potbellied counselor immediately cursed, pointing his finger at Su Dingfang.

The rest of the people also looked at Su Dingfang coldly, except for Hou Junji who looked helpless.

"Hmph! You really are a child with a yellow mouth, and the way you think is so simple and useless. How can a person like you take up the post of county lieutenant in Xiangguo County?"

"How about this, take your county lieutenant, you go to be a gang leader now, it's not usable after all!"

Tao Wenli narrowed his eyes and waved his hands casually.

"Official, Su Dingfang takes orders!"

Su Dingfang lowered his head, his eyes didn't fluctuate in any way, but the hooked corners of his mouth seemed to be mocking the stupid and hopeless trash.
