Chapter 217: A Strategy to Lure the Enemy
"But the current situation is very clear, the ventilation report can no longer solve the practical problem, the most critical problem is still to rely on everyone's efforts to defend Chang'an City, and when I passed by the iron horse, I have seen that they are three flags, namely leopard, deer and eagle. Whether it is the city lord or the generals, they should know what kind of strength these three tribes have on the grassland. ”
"Especially this so-called leopard, the leopard tribe has been in the grassland for many years, their leader is called Shabak, I'm not wrong? Shabak has been fighting in the grassland, and even achieved the reputation of the Great Khan of the grassland, this point, the defenders and generals in Chang'an City also know this, but do you know that Shabak is a proud person?"
"He is very proud, if he is leading the other two tribes to attack here, and there is no sign of division of troops before, then the main line of attack is Shabak's iron cavalry, but Shabak's iron cavalry, 100 or so died in the city gate building, you tell me what they should do, do you say, will they really divide their troops to attack the other gates?"
Yao Hui pondered for a moment that his sweat was down, so he looked up at the general Liu Hao, and then lowered his head and said, "General." Although Shabak was extremely proud, if he made a desperate gamble at this time and gathered all his soldiers on the West Gate, it did not seem to meet the standards of the steppe iron cavalry. ”
Liu Hao sighed and said, "That's true, the grassland iron cavalry has always been able to fight, if you can't fight, you can run, you can take advantage of it, it should be four troops to attack 9 gates, the door is closed, don't attack, the door is open or the wall is crazy to attack, so you can find a way to rush in, this kind of wolf tactics is actually the most in line with the requirements of the grassland." ”
"However, the world on the grassland is not a wolf clan, it is already a leopard clan. It's this Shabak. ”
Saying that, he looked at the city gate building, signaled to let the city tower monitor the situation on the opposite side in time, and soon the flag over there told Yao Hui and Liu Hao that the other party really did not divide the troops, and a large number of men and horses actually withdrew from the bridge of the moat, as if they were going back to make some preparations, but the state of dividing the troops was never there.
Yao Hui hurriedly arranged the manpower, if the division of troops quickly notified the general, informed all the mixed troops, and prepared to go to the encounter to block the door, Liu Hao ordered Yao Hui to continue to listen to the situation, and then blinked and said.
"Now the specifics are that he's going to keep attacking. Your first round of shooting and attacking has been done perfectly, but I need to test you, if he uses any firearms or siege weapons, such as climbing to the castle tower or climbing the castle tower with iron cavalry, you must know that our brick wall is very thin, in this case, what should you do?"
Yao Hui nodded, and he said, "Replace the archers on the city gate building, which was a strategy to lure the enemy before, but now you have to replace them with real carved arrows, shoot them a few rounds, so that the iron horsemen who climb the wall and attack the city gate tower are a little frightened, prompting them to move slowly." ”
"But if they want to pull out the horses and people in the city gate tower, I'm afraid it's not an easy task, they need to make some tools, but the general, what I'm worried about is that they may take a long time to make tools, you know, now it's about time and speed, will they have the patience to make tools to clean up the entire city gate building?"
"General, I always feel that dividing the army and ruling is probably the best way, if you can rush in from another gate to rescue the West Gate, and open the West Gate to welcome this proud monarch into Chang'an City, wouldn't it be a better way?"
Liu Hao laughed, "You're right, he really should do this, but the problem is that he is 30,000 iron horsemen, and he doesn't fold one or two thousand people here, so he is unwilling, this kind of person who is desperate to a certain extent, he can't listen to anything, but I must find a way to surround the other city gates." ”
"So, what you said is very important, my proposal is that you block this, whether it is the city gate or the radiation behind the brick wall, including the iron horse, you have to prepare some here. ”
It's a pity that there are very few iron horsemen in Chang'an City, and only about 3,000 people and horses can be mobilized, but Liu Hao actually waved his hand and left 2,000 of these iron horses directly blocked here, and he gave Yao Hui a dead order, "You are blocking here, if the other party really divides troops to attack other city gates, then you and I can join forces, but these 2,000 iron horses are allocated by you, and the entire West Gate is required to be blocked." ”
"If they take a real attack and there is a way of encounter, you should be familiar with the process of siege, so I don't need to consider you in the organization of archers, the purpose of the Iron Cavalry is to block the only gate in the inner city, this is no problem, right?"
Yao Hui hurriedly knelt down on one knee directly, kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, General, this set of tactics Yao Hui has studied countless times, and it must be foolproof." ”
Liu Hao pondered for a moment and said, "No, you shouldn't be foolproof, if they still insist on attacking Ximen tonight, Ximen will have to lose once at that time." ”
This sentence was said very lightly, only the city lord and Yaohui heard it clearly, both the city lord and Yaohui gasped, but Liu Hao was expressionless, "This matter will be discussed later, now I will go to block the Chaoyang Gate next to the west gate that can't be closed." You're here to watch. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a few soldiers in the team with his hand, "A few of you are going back and forth to report to us, I need to understand the situation every 15 minutes, do you understand?"
Yao Hui nodded, and then looked at the general, "General, isn't this a bit too troublesome, we have a bell tower to release messages, and the message delivery speed will be faster." ”
Liu Hao shook his head and said, "I can't believe the bell tower, the opposite side of the bell tower can also be seen, let's let people pass it, now is an extraordinary period, what I want is to summarize the information as soon as possible, and at the same time, I want the entire Chang'an City to be able to keep it." The siege of Chang'an City by these 30,000 iron cavalry should not end in one day, so the less intelligence information leaks the better. ”
Saying that, he took the city lord and the remaining 1,000 iron horsemen, plus a large number of mixed teams of the army and the Longwu army, and left from here, leaving a large number of archers and arrows to Yaohui, and went straight to Chaoyangmen.
With the sound of horses' hooves, the city lord sat on his horse, and couldn't help but quietly ask the general, "Why do you want to let Ximen fall, do you say that the other party is just a proud person, do you have to let Ximen lose it, satisfy his vanity, and lure the enemy deeper?"
