Chapter 840 Su Dongpo, the Coach with the Most Buddhist Potential in Song Dynasty

Chapter 849

But in those several wars that shocked the world, University Scholar Su almost watched them from beginning to end like a spectator. Not to mention the war scenes, he didn't even taste the smoke of war.

This made Academician Su, who had always liked ancient poems about frontier fortresses, feel a little uncomfortable. This was why he came in person after hearing that the Imperial Army was coming for reinforcements.

Finally saw the real war, and also understood the cruelty and danger of fighting on the battlefield. Seeing those brave soldiers who were still laughing for a quarter of an hour turned into a cold corpse in the next moment, it also brought him a feeling of joy in his heart. There was a great shock.

The dignified Academician Su, after every military meeting, would leave several generals behind and humbly ask for advice on issues such as running the army, uniting the army, and commanding operations. This made the generals flattered and deeply felt the importance of Academician Su to the generals. Song Huben's serious attitude.

It made the soldiers more brave and fearless in combat. The important thing is that compared with those of the Liao and Xia coalition forces, the siege weapons of the Song Dynasty are more excellent in performance and have more and more methods.

Compared with the nomads who are not good at attacking cities, Song Huben is not only good at defending cities, but also good at attacking cities. After all, they are good at using city defenses for defense, and they also understand the weaknesses of city defenses better.

In addition, Yinzhou's city defense is just so-so, just ordinary, not much different from Huanzhou in Song Dynasty, and even slightly inferior to Huanzhou's city defense.

What's more, they don't have Yuanyou cement, an artifact of city defense repair. Once the city wall is damaged, it will be difficult to repair it during wartime.

Nowadays, there are several cracks in the city wall of Yinzhou, and all the defenders in the city can do is to remove some bricks, stones and wood from the city and stuff them into the cracks.

In addition, the Song Dynasty experienced several hearty and hearty victories against Xixia, which made the soldiers full of confidence and high morale, but the morale of the Xixia people was low because of repeated defeats. Under the circumstances, it is natural that the one hundred thousand Great Song Huben VS Yinzhou, which is only guarded by more than ten thousand Xixia soldiers and horses, will have an even more advantage.

"...According to the current situation of the Yinzhou city, there are still three or four days to go, and the Yinzhou city will be destroyed." A general said confidently to Xueshi Su.

"The only worry now is whether reinforcements from the Xixia people will come. If they arrive in time, it will be difficult for Xunyinzhou to change hands."

"It's okay..." At this time, Xueshi Su, who is the commander in chief, said leisurely while stroking his long beard. "The army's rapid attack on Yinzhou has two purposes. One is to strive to win Yinzhou, and then advance to Shizhou, dividing the eastern border of Xixia into two."

"The second is to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and let the Liao-Xia coalition forces who are attacking Yuzhou divide their forces to come to the rescue. If the Liao-Xia coalition forces really divide their forces to come to the rescue, then the impact on the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yuzhou City can be greatly reduced. pressure."

"After all the armies are in place, the strategy of the Liaoxia coalition forces to seize the land of the three states will naturally come to naught..."

"So, whether Xixia's reinforcements come or not, the result will only be beneficial to Song Dynasty, so you generals don't have to worry too much about the victory or defeat of Yinzhou City..." University scholar Su explained, Rather, it entered the hearts of the generals.

Well, I have to say that Su Dongpo's explanation and tone seemed very Buddhist. Seeing the calm and calm look of this big boss, the hearts of the great Song Dynasty tigers suddenly began to surge.

Why don't you worry too much about the victory or defeat of Yinzhou City? What you always mean is that even if one of our [-] masters copies melon seeds and squats outside Yinzhou City to knock melon seeds in a daze, it means that victory is impossible. ?
Isn't this Chi Guoguo telling everyone that it's okay to work hard, or not to work hard?

A feeling of pain from being peeped spread in the hearts of all the Song generals.

Macho Su still didn't realize it, because Macho Su, who was habitual to open up maps and attack people, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, which was really common and reasonable.

"All generals have worked hard these days. After a day of fierce attack today, the soldiers are tired. Today, the troops will rest early. Wait until early tomorrow morning, and then..."

"Su Xiang, the last general thinks something is wrong..." At this time, a general of the forbidden army stood up and said to Su Dongpo after a respectful salute.

"??? Is there any inappropriate sentence from this officer?" Su Dongpo looked at the general of the forbidden army in a bewildered manner.

"No, no, it's not Prime Minister Su, what did you say that was inappropriate..." Seeing that the situation was not going well, another general rushed out to pick up the conversation, and gave this idiot a hard look, what the hell? It's all right to find a draw, right?

Su Dongpo was still full of doubts.The talented Master Su is not an idiot, and he always felt that there might be something wrong with these two guys saying such contradictory words.

At this moment, Zong Ze, who was standing beside Su Dongpo and had been advising Su Dongpo all this time, cleared his throat, and moved to Su Dongpo's side to speak. "It must be that the generals feel that the defenders of Yinzhou City are getting weaker and weaker, and their morale is getting lower. At this moment, instead of weakening the offensive, we should strengthen the offensive."

"Besides, as you said, Prime Minister Su, if you can't capture Yinzhou City, you can contain the Liao-Xia coalition's offensive against Youzhou. If you can capture Yinzhou City, you can still contain the Liao-Xia coalition forces..."

Only then did Su Dongpo slightly nod his head in relief, signaling Zong Ze to continue talking.And those generals breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zong Ze with bright eyes, not bad, although this buddy is a civil servant, he can understand the meaning of us rough men.

"So, now we not only need to strengthen our offensive, but also it is best not to give the defenders any chance to breathe. As the reinforcements from Xixia have not yet arrived, we can take Yinzhou in one go. By then, even Liaoxia The coalition forces are coming in full force, and our army can rely on Yinzhou City as its support, so it can stand firmly here and wait for reinforcements..."

These words made all the generals present nod their heads deeply, and secretly praised Zong Ze's analysis.

Yes, it’s okay to win Yinzhou, or it’s okay not to win. Under such circumstances, if you can win, you can also make more achievements, so naturally why not do it.

Master Su was indeed very obedient. Seeing that the generals in the tent were very eager to fight, he finally nodded in agreement with the generals' request.

"Since you all feel that now is the right time, then let's do this."

A group of generals showed joy and began to add up, while Su Dongpo continued to sit in the central army tent as his mascot to stabilize the morale of the army after chattering.

After dinner, the soldiers guarding the city were already exhausted and went to sleep in their clothes, leaving only some young and strong guards on the city wall.

However, about half an hour after the dinner time, a young man suddenly noticed that the Song army barracks outside the gates were making noise, and they were gradually approaching Yinzhou City...
