In terms of the development of the future situation, Yu Tianxing and Zhuge Guanqi thought of one place, and he also saw that Hu Xiaotian only had two ways to go, but Yu Tianxing was not as secretive as Zhuge Guanqi, since he was determined to assist Hu Xiaotian, he naturally had to tell him frankly what he thought.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Tianxing, if you were me, what choice would you make?"
Yu Tianxing said: "It is undoubtedly a safe policy to retreat to Wuxing County, but to give up Dongliang County, not only will we give away the hard-won fruits of victory, but also will frustrate the confidence that the soldiers have worked so hard to generate." ” Hu Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and what Yu Tianxing said was also his concern: "So you suggest fighting" Yu Tianxing slowly walked to the map: "There are 3,000 soldiers in Dongliang County, 2,000 people in the Beggar Gang, and 30,000 Yongjiang Water Divisions in Wuxing County, these are all usable soldiers for adults.
If Dongliang County is defeated, the lord can also retreat to Wuxing County, and if you want to keep Wuxing County, you must leave at least 20,000 soldiers and horses. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded: "That means that there are still 15,000 soldiers and horses that we can mobilize." ” Yu Tianxing said: "The hearts of the people in Dongliang County are fluctuating, and there are many thieves who want to wait for the opportunity to cause trouble, and if they want to ensure the stability of Dongliang City, they need at least two thousand people. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "As soon as you say that, I don't have many available generals in my hands." ” Yu Tianxing said: "The lord dared to use 5,000 people against Tang Boxi's 30,000 people before, but now he has 13,000 people in his hands and is afraid that Qin Yangming's 50,000 people will not succeed."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Don't sell it, say what you think." ” Yu Tianxing said: "Dongliang County is easy to attack and difficult to defend because of its location, and if you want to make Dongliang County impregnable, you must form a solid defense line in the east, west and north.
He pointed to the map and said, "With the current strength of the lord's hands, he should not be able to take care of such a long defense line, so he can only defend the city."
However, defending the city is the next policy, and if you want to change from passive to active, you must seize the opportunity.
Although Shao Yuan has 50,000 garrisons, it is not the most important one in terms of geographical location.
There are 20,000 in Dongluocang, Dongluocang is one of the seven granaries of Dayong, responsible for the supply of the army on the southern line of Dayong, if you can seize Dongluocang is equivalent to choking the throat of the southeast of Dayong, and can also form three points that echo each other with Dongliang County and Wuxing County. ” Hu Xiaotian looked at the map, Dongluocang is a part of Shaoyuan, located in the east of Shaoyuan, the west of the East China Sea, and the northwest of Dongliang County.
Bordering the two cities of Shaoyuan and Dongliang County, although Dongluocang is located in the plain, but because the strategic position is quite important, Dayong spares no effort in defense, the city wall is high and wide, and the arrow towers are numerous, which is much stronger than the surrounding cities of Shaoyuan and Dongliang County, not to mention that there are 20,000 garrisons.
Hu Xiaotian shook his head.
Not without worry: "20,000 people defend the city, and the walls are strong.
The arrow towers are towering, and I'm afraid that even if we pour the strength of the two cities, it will be difficult to capture them.
I think it will be more difficult to capture Dongluocang than to conquer Shaoyuan. ” Yu Tianxing said: "My lord, I have studied the style of Shao Yuan's general Qin Yangming's marching formation, this person is cautious, and he is extremely cautious in battle, often using the advantage of troops to win the battle.
To avoid his own maximum casualties, according to Qin Yangming's habit, I think he is likely to deploy three troops this time. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Which three roads" Yu Tianxing said: "The waterway is naturally Nanyang Water Village, Tang Boxi, the leader of Nanyang Water Village, is dead, and Nanyang Water Village will be grieved up and down."
They were in dire need of a victory, and if they had agreed to the lord's demand for food for the captives, it would have been expedient, and I think they would probably have made a comeback as soon as the captives were out of danger. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, he also had the same idea.
Yu Tianxing said: "Tang Boxi was defeated by too light the enemy, and did not unite with Qin Yangming to attack by land and water, and Tang Boxi was defeated too quickly this time, Qin Yangming didn't even have time to send troops, which proves that there is still a contradiction between Qin Yangming and Tang Boxi, although he has preserved his strength this time, it is inevitable that he will not be reprimanded on the side of the Dayong court, so Qin Yangming will inevitably join forces with Nanyang Shuizhai this time."
I estimate that after the captives are out of danger, Qin Yangming will inevitably have a large army to press the border, there are two main lines from Shao Yuan to attack Dongliang County, Qin Yangming leads one, and the other is very likely to send troops from Dongluocang, with Qin Yangming's habit of using troops, he wants to achieve an overwhelming victory, Shao Yuan is likely to only leave 5,000 people to defend and send 25,000 troops, and Dongluocang echoes him from the northeast, Qin Yangming will mobilize 15,000 people from Dongluocang, and the city defense of Dongluocang, 5,000 people to guard is enough.
In this way, the Yongjun army formed a three-line offensive formation in the northwest, due north, and northeast.
Yu Tianxing's finger drew three tracks on the map.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I insist on not giving up Dongliang County, then a situation of being surrounded by three lines will be formed." ” Yu Tianxing nodded and said, "So the lord only has one way to surprise the soldiers." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The Yongjiang Naval Division of Wuxing County can't mobilize too much, as long as the defense of 20,000 people is guaranteed, otherwise once they find out that Wuxing County is empty, I'm afraid that even this back road of mine will be cut off for me." ” Yu Tianxing said: "The lord has no way back. ” Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his meaningful words, and then laughed again: "Yes, I have no way back." ” Yu Tianxing said: "If you want to hold Wuxing County, you need 20,000 people, and if you want Dongliang County to hold on for a little longer, you need 8,000 people."
Therefore, there are less than 8,000 men and horses available in the hands of the lord, and if you want to use these 8,000 people to capture Dongluocang, there is only half of the chance of success. ” Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "If you say that Qin Yangming will transfer troops from Dongluocang to attack us, then Dongluocang will leave a lot, but if he only transfers 10,000 people, then wouldn't our 8,000 people have to face the situation of 10,000 people defending the city."
Yu Tianxing said: "There is also a Chang Fanqi in Dongluocang, who is known as one of the top ten fierce generals of Dayong, this manpower can pull out the mountain, which is quite powerful. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "So we only have two chances of success." ” Yu Tianxing said: "If you seize Dongluocang and snatch the military rations of Dongluocang, even if you stick to Dongluocang, Dongliang County and Wuxing County will have no worries about grain and grass within three years." ” Hu Xiaotian's eyes lit up: "It seems that this battle must be fought" Yu Tianxing said: "Taking Dongluocang will make them really painful, even if they transfer food from elsewhere, they will not be able to organize an attack on us for a while." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "How are you going to attack the city?"
Yu Tianxing said: "The lord needs to delay the exchange of prisoners as much as possible, and the deployment of troops needs to be carried out under the premise that the other party is not aware of it, but the men and horses can be arranged in advance near Dongluocang, once Qin Yangming sends troops, the men and horses will quickly assemble in Dongluocang, although the city wall of Dongluocang is thick, but it can't stop the shooting of catapults." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "You can break ten catapults into pieces and transport them to the vicinity of Dongluocang for assembly." ” Yu Tianxing said: "It doesn't take ten, three is enough, and it is not really to destroy the city wall of Dongluocang, the purpose is to make them feel that the city wall is in danger, in that case, they will risk going out of the city to destroy the trebuchet." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Lead the snake out of the hole" Yu Tianxing smiled and said, "The Lord is right. ” Hu Xiaotian asked Liu Yuncai to bring him to him, now it is different from the past, now Liu Yuncai has been reduced to a prisoner, after coming in, he originally wanted to show a heroic and unyielding appearance, but unfortunately he was kicked in the crook of the knee by Xiong Tianba, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Tianba, don't be rude, quickly untie General Liu" Liu Yuncai thought that he had heard it wrong, blinked his eyes, and saw that Xiong Tianba stepped forward and really untied the rope for him, Liu Yuncai secretly thought in his heart, Hu Xiaotian really didn't want to kill himself, he stood up and said: "If you want to kill, why bother talking nonsense" Hu Xiaotian laughed, and motioned to the entourage to move a stool for Liu Yuncai: "Sit" Liu Yuncai snorted and raised his head.
Hu Xiaoangel looked, Xiong Tianba stretched out his big hand and grabbed Liu Yuncai's neck like an eagle catching a chicken, and roared viciously: "Damn, don't you give you face, don't you kick your nose on your face, is it the third uncle who asked you to sit, you have to sit for me" dragged Liu Yuncai and pressed him on the bench, although Liu Yuncai resisted in his heart, he couldn't compete with the other party at all, and was forced by Xiong Tianba to sit down.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "General Liu doesn't have to misunderstand, I don't have any ill will towards you, I invited you here this time to send you back." ” Liu Yuncai was suspicious, shook his two black claws that wanted to put Xiong Tianba on his shoulder, but he didn't expect Xiong Tianba to press harder, and his collarbones were squeaked and rattled by this guy, as if they would be broken at any time, and Liu Yuncai's face was pale in pain, and he secretly thought in his heart, a hero doesn't suffer losses in front of him, how can I have a good end when I go against this reckless person I have such an idea, so I no longer resisted, and said in a low voice: "You designed to kill General Tang, capture my Dayong soldiers, sabotage the peace agreement between the two countries, and set off a war between the two countries, Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "General Liu's ability to reverse black and white is not small" He got up and walked over to Liu Yuncai, as the distance between the two sides approached, Liu Yuncai's face showed a look of fear, Hu Xiaotian said: "It is you who broke the agreement between the two countries, and it is you who want to capture Dongliang County, Tang Boxi's death deserves not to mention the death of a Tang Boxi, even if I kill all of you, the people of the world will not say a word" The sudden burst of murder in his eyes made Liu Yuncai's heart tremble, and he said in a trembling voice: "You are not afraid that my Dayong army will come and kill you without leaving a piece of armor."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and patted Liu Yuncai's shoulder and said: "You have 11,300 lives in my hands, and you have eaten a lot of my food and used a lot of my medicine in the past two days.
