On the border between the two countries, there is a river that runs through the east and west, which is called the White River. The White River is not wide, only a few meters at the narrowest point, and only a dozen meters at the widest, the water flow is gentle and not turbulent, and the water depth is only two meters.

Strictly speaking, Daxing and Dawu were not originally bordered, and the western part of the southern border was separated by a large territory of the mountain city where the Hundred Saints Palace was located, and a country called the Dajiang Kingdom was separated by the south, but this kingdom was later destroyed by Dawu, and this Dajiang was also the country of the White Enemy.

In the south of the White River, the border of Dawu, there are three cities that are horns of each other, separated by only a few miles, the city of the top horn in front is called the Great Meteoric City, the eastern city of the Great Meteorite City is called the East Meteorite City, and the city in the west of the Great Meteorite City is called the West Meteorite City.

The three cities are all built according to the military fortress, sitting south to north, there are no civilians in the city, there is a large army stationed, so that the border between the two countries is not wide is firmly guarded by the three cities, if Daxing wants to move troops, it is necessary to cross the river to take the three cities, but it can lead to move the whole body, how can the three cities be so easy to take?

The two brothers Liu Ming and Liu Lang spread out the map, and the direction of their fingers at this time was these three cities, Liu Ming said: "Lord Wang, Dawu is defending these three cities, and we really can't attack the hinterland of Dawu, even if we attack these three cities, we will have to pay an extremely heavy price, and there is no guarantee that we can win."

Li Mang had no experience in leading troops to fight in his previous life or in this life, but he was not a novice who didn't understand military affairs at all, and so many film and television dramas and novels in his previous life were not read in vain. Of course, it is not possible to win a battle just by looking at this, but since ancient times, which excellent famous general has learned it by sitting at home?

Li Mang nodded, looked at the map and asked, "Have you ever found out the strength of the troops stationed in these three cities?"

Liu Ming nodded and said, "It has been found out, there are 400,000 troops stationed in the Great Meteor City, 300,000 each in the east and west cities, a total of one million troops. Once the war starts, the three cities can support each other at any time, and the farthest distance between the two cities is only the time for a horse to gallop and a stick of incense."

Li Mang nodded, looked at it for a long time, and then asked, "In which city are the armaments, grain and grass stored?"

"Big Fallen City" Liu Ming said without thinking.

"Do you know the exact location?" asked Li Mang.

"I don't know... Our spies are just a captain now, and there are many places that we can't go," Liu Ming said embarrassedly.

Li Mang seemed to think of something, finally raised his head, and then asked seriously: "It is very likely that I also have Dawu spies in the Daxing border army?"

"There must be" Liu Ming was even more embarrassed and lowered his head.

"It's okay, I want to think about what to do, you guys go down first, oh, by the way, call the two generals in my heavenly army" Li Mang finished speaking and continued to stare at the map and study.

Not long after, Shi Peng and Bai Qiu arrived, and Li Mang raised his head, pointed to the map and said: "Two elder brothers, come and see, if these three cities are let the heavenly army fight, what good plan do you have."

Shi Peng looked at it seriously, but Bai Qiu had a murderous face, and said hatefully: "Hmph, I can't know the city of my big river very well, if these three cities want to attack unless they have several times the number of troops, they have to cut off the supply of the three cities before they can take it."

Li Mang sighed, comforted Bai Qiu a few words, and then asked again: "The purpose of my training of the Heavenly Army is naturally not to let them attack the city and plunder the land and face the battlefield directly, you naturally understand this, and then you will talk about it, if the Heavenly Army is on top, how should it be fought?"

Shi Peng looked at it for a long time and finally spoke: "Brother, I'm just going to carry out the order, you two can do it with your brains, I can't understand it and can't think of it."

Bai Qiu pondered for a long time before he spoke: "As long as you can sneak into the city and burn Dawu's heavy grain and grass, the three cities may be self-defeating."

Li Mang nodded and said, "Yes, I also set my goal on this, but there are no civilians in these three cities, how can I get involved?"

Bai Qiu thought about it for a long time, and sighed, it seemed that there was no good way. Li Mang shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he still had to rely on himself, leaning back in his chair, recalling all kinds of pictures from his previous life, thinking about how to solve the three cities.

Water attack? As far as the water flow of the White River is concerned, the fire attack does not say whether it can get close to the city, but it can, and there are no dwellings in the city, and there is no way to burn it? Forget it, Fenghua is still there, don't disgust her.

After thinking about it, Li Mang already has a lot of plans in his heart, but which one can be applied depends on the actual situation.

"Three treasures, pass on the two captains" Li Mang shouted outside the tent.

"Yes," Sambo's voice said, and then he left.

After a while, Liu Ming and Liu Lang returned again, and Li Mang looked at the two of them and ordered directly: "Order, Liu Lang led 500,000 troops to cross the river, and called for battle in front of the Great Fall City. Liu Ming, you will also assemble the border army on standby, if the other party dares to go out of the city, you will press me hard, if the enemy dies and cannot leave the city, you will not have to cross the river."

"Yes, the two of them took the order and went"

After a while, the barracks were full of people, followed by the sound of thousands of horses galloping away, Liu Lang led his subordinates to cross the river from the narrowest and shallowest part of the river, and rushed straight to the big fall city.

didn't work hard, only listened to the shouting and scolding of the state army, but from this distance, Li Mang could hear it clearly.

After Liu Lang came from the city, the enemy just stood on the city with a bow and arrow, and the main general never showed up.

The whole morning was spent like this, until the 500,000 soldiers of the state army were screaming until they were hoarse.

After lunch at noon, Li Mang ordered Liu Ming to lead 500,000 border troops to replace Liu Lang and continue to scold in front of the city, and even Li Mang asked Liu Ming's army to bring many gongs and drums, anyway, as long as they could knock out the sound, they were basically brought.

After Liu Lang came down, he had lunch with the army, and then listened to Li Mang's order to rest, and the whole army slept at the same time during the daytime, which was the first time since the formation of the Bingzhou Army.

In the evening, after dinner, the Bingzhou army replaced the border army again and continued to scold, while the border army rested directly after dinner.

In the Great Fall City, in the handsome tent.

"General, they only crossed the river 500,000 people at a time, why didn't I contact the defenders of the other two cities to eat these people directly?

I saw an old man sitting on the main seat, and when he heard this, he said: "The purpose of our coming here is to defend the city, not to destroy the enemy.

The old man is also a famous general of Dawu, and he is also a relative of the emperor of the Dawu Dynasty. This person is best at defending the city, how many years of military career, no one has taken a city from his hands, so he was sent by Emperor Dawu to sit in the three cities.

The generals didn't speak anymore, and they could only bear it if they were angry, so they could only secretly scold in their hearts that the brothers Liu Ming and Liu Lang who were in Daxing were not people, and the scolding was also disgusting.

After Li Mang had dinner, he came to the Baihe River, and looked at the Bingzhou army on the other side of the river who were still beating gongs and drums and scolding loudly.

Fenghua was wearing armor, slowly came to Li Mang's side, and said coquettishly: "What do you think, let people scold like this, it's really disgusting, is it useful?"

Li Mang smiled and said confidently: "Why is it useless, it is very useful, you look at it, tomorrow I will break the big city."

"Bragging" Fenghua threw a roll of his eyes and said.

Li Mang laughed, didn't explain, hugged Fenghua's slender waist, and then said: "Okay, go back and rest, such foul words will dirty your ears again."

"Okay, you also rest early, I'll go back, it's really ugly" Fenghua also nodded obediently, and then walked back with a sharp sigh.

Just after the ugly hour, Li Mang woke up Liu Ming again, asked him to take the border army to replace the Bingzhou army, and continued to scold, after Liu Lang came back with the troops, he fell asleep without saying a word, and he was tired when he thought about it.

In the big fallen city on the other side, the 400,000 troops went up to the commanders and down to the ordinary soldiers, but they didn't sleep all night, they all suppressed a raging fire in their hearts, and they couldn't kill them, and they pressed those people with bad mouths to the ground and rubbed them, but Wu Li didn't send troops even if they were killed.
