Chapter 332

"Baoying General Chen Leng is holding on to the city, fighting a bloody battle with the Huai Army, but the Huai Army has sharp weapons and sharp troops, and has attacked the city three times in a row, so General Chen Leng urgently reported, please send a general to support!"

He Chou frowned while listening.

Baoying City, which he personally supervised, is very confident in the defense of this city wall, and all kinds of tools for defending the city are also prepared, plus there are [-] defenders in the city.

According to normal circumstances, one hundred thousand defenders plus a fortified city are enough to withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Back then, Wei Xiaokuan was able to resist the siege of Gao Huan's army of 30 to [-] with thousands of troops, and he could kill tens of thousands, causing Gao Huan to die of anger.

He Chou did not expect Chen Leng and Shen Guang to have the ability of Wei Xiaokuan.

But wouldn't it be easy for a [-] army to defend a strong city and resist the enemy for a month or two?And now, how long has it been since Baoying was attacked?
It's only a few days.

If they couldn't hold on for a few days, Chen Ling and Shen Guang could be called trash.

He Chou thought so in his heart, but he didn't say much on the face, but continued to listen to the messenger's report.

When Yang Shuang heard the news of Baoying's request for help, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked the messenger Baoying about the specific situation of defending the city, such as which general of the Huai army attacked the city, and what equipment did the Huai army use when attacking the city... …

After half a sound.

Yang Shuang stopped and asked another messenger to report.

The news from the Sanxing Island water village in Gaoyou Lake also asked for help from Gaoyou and Yangzhou.General Qian Shixiong said frankly in the letter that the Huai army's offensive was extremely fast, and every time they attacked the water village, there were fierce generals as the forward.

He kept sending troops to resist, like hitting a stone with a pebble, and was easily crushed by the general of the Huai Army.

"You go back first!"

After the two messengers finished their reports, Yang Shuang stood up, waved his hands to make the messengers retreat, and then turned to look at an enlarged topographic map hanging behind his back.

On the topographic map, there are mountains, rivers and rivers in Baoying, Gaoyou Lake, Xinghua and other places, as well as dangerous places suitable for defense.

When Yang Shuang looked at the map.

Only then did He Chou recover from the shock.

Just now, after hearing that Qian Shixiong from Gaoyou Lake also sent someone to ask for help, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that it wasn't that Chen Leng and Shen Guang were too good-for-nothings, but that the Huai army was really so powerful that it forced several generals of the Sui army into a panic in a few days.

"My lord, both Chen Leng and Qian Shixiong have sent people to ask for help, how should they respond? Should they send some troops from Gaoyou to support them?"

"I heard that His Majesty has recruited 30 Xiaoguo troops in Yangzhou, and these troops can be added to the Gaoyou camp..."

He Chou pondered for a moment and said.

Yang Shuang swipe the map a few times with his finger, calculated the next situation in his mind, turned around and sat down after a while.

He stretched out his hand and asked He Chou to sit down and talk.

"Brother Guilin, do you think that Baoying and Sanxingdao are short of troops? Baoying has a hundred thousand troops, and Sanxingdao water village has tens of thousands of sailors... These troops are more than enough for the Huai army!"

"The soldiers of the Huai army are indeed good at fighting, but they can't directly destroy the strong city and the tens of thousands of naval forces...Chen Ling and Qian Shixiong asked for help because they wanted the king to send generals, especially fierce generals. What they needed were generals and schools. Not soldiers!"

When Yang Shuang said this, he shook his head slightly.

He Chou thought for a while, and was a little dumbfounded. He also knew that the Sui Army had a strong force at the moment, but the available generals and schools in the army were few and far between.

There is no way, except for Han Qinhu, the famous founding ministers and generals of the Sui Dynasty, who died well, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, Yang Su, Gao Ying and others were all demoted and killed.

Among the famous generals in Yang Guang's hands, there is almost no one who is famous in history.

Generals like Yu Wenshu, who are fairly capable, have already parted ways with the Sui Dynasty.

The civil and military background of the Sui Dynasty looks solid, but in fact it is very empty.

If Yang Jian came, with the name of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he could recruit famous officials and generals from other dynasties to supplement the talent gap of the Sui army.

But it's a pity.

Right now, it is Yang Guang who is in charge of the overall situation of the Sui army, no matter whether the posterity deliberately smeared and ruined his reputation.

In all dynasties after the Sui Dynasty, in the minds of all civil servants and generals, Yang Guang was a faint king.

Coming to the mainland of China has a chance to choose again.

Then they will only go to those wise emperors who have passed the test of history, such as Liu Yu, Sun Quan, etc., or they can go to Chen Baxian, Xiao Daocheng, and Qian Miao.

But no one will take the initiative to join Yang Guang.

If there is, they are also ambitious people who want to rely on the Sui army to do their own business.

Therefore, in the Sui Dynasty, which seemed to be a unified dynasty, the generals and schools in the army were not as good as the Huai Army.The Sui army was unable to sweep Huaidong for a long time, which was also one of the main reasons.

The Qin Dynasty also died in the second generation, but the Qin Dynasty had hundreds of years of history before it unified the world, which is different from the Sui Dynasty.

"Send generals to support... Now the two generals, Yang Yichen and Laihuer, are leading the army back. If they withdraw their troops, it will be easy!"

He Chou said with a sigh.

"I hope so!" Yang Shuang said lightly.

Yang Yichen and Lai Huer are indeed good generals.

But their ability and reputation cannot be compared with the generals of the Huai Army.

The spies sent by Yang Shuang collected information on the generals of the Huai army.

At this time, he already knew the names of the chief generals of the Shanyang Camp of the Huai Army and the generals of Jinhu.

Li Kaifang's reputation is not very big, but Yang Kan and Yang Shuang are no strangers to his generals.

There is also Jinhu's general Fu Youde... I heard that this person is the founding general in the history of Jinling's Ming army!

Yang Shuang thought he was not weak.

But he felt that with his own abilities, he could at most deal with one side of the enemy.Unless He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui and other famous founding generals all descended at this time, the Sui army would have the possibility of defeating the enemy.

"Guilin, how is the defense line north of Gaoyou City going? When will it be completed?"

Yang Shuang asked.

He Chou hastened to report: "The construction of Jieshou and Ziyinggou has been completed. With this line of defense, it is difficult for even hundreds of thousands of troops to break through... There are also a large number of sentry posts and forts in the swamp east of Jieshou. !"

When talking back.

He Chou realized that Jieshou City is located between Gaoyou and Baoying, especially Ziyinggou, which connects Gaoyou Lake and Sheyang Lake.

Although there is river water in the gully, it cannot accommodate the passage of warships, and there are also a large number of rocks and thorns, which can be called extremely dangerous.

King Wei built a line of defense here.

It can be seen that he does not have much confidence in Baoying City's defense.Baoying City is only used to delay the time so that the defense line behind can be completed.

Yang Shuang nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this.

He read the letter on the table and said: "Gaoyou Lake Water Village is related to the safety of our army to the west, we must save it, come here!"

"Invite generals Zhou Fashang and Zhou Faming!"

Baoying can act as a sacrificial child.

But the water army in Gaoyou Lake must not lose anything!
