Chapter 1029: East Becomes West (22)

In the Jishi City County Guard's Mansion, Wu Kai looked at Yan Haibo in front of him.

"Xiao Yanzi, this time the two of us are going to fight side by side again." Yan Haibo was born in the Fufeng Army and was the earliest follower of Gao Yuan, and Wu Kai was the Fufeng Zhi County of the year, and it was with Wu Kai's strong support that Gao Yuan took the first step in development. He called Xiao Yanzi, but there was no problem at all.

"Hai Bo is willing to listen to Lord Wu's promotion!" Yan Haibo arched his hand.

"No, I'm a scholar, I don't know anything about war. The affairs of the army, before Commander Helanxiong comes back, you have the final say, all I can do is to gather the reserve soldiers of Jishi County for you, prepare sufficient food, grass, and ordnance for you, so that the soldiers fighting on the front line have no worries." Wu Kai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In the first battle of Jishi City back then, our 3,000 soldiers blocked the onslaught of Tan Feng Zhou Yu's 20,000 troops, and today we have 40,000 or 50,000 people, are you still afraid of the Qin people?" Today's Stone City is not the Stone City of the past!"

"That's right, Wang Xiao didn't break through Shannan County, so that we have enough time to withdraw the main force, in this battle, the Qin people have no chance of winning, I really don't know why the Qin people are so confident, and they still drive straight in, when we are all paper and mud?" Yan Haibo was a little puzzled.

"You have just withdrawn, and you don't know the situation on the entire continent yet!" Wu Kai sighed and said: "Qin and Chu have joined forces, the state of Chu not only interferes in the affairs of the state of Qi, but also gathers a large army in Linyitun, and it is possible to launch an attack on our country at any time, it has been more than ten days since the last report of the Di newspaper, and the next wave of the report will take several days to come, I don't know what the form of the state of Qi is now?" But no matter how critical the situation is, I think the king will definitely solve the problem of Qi first."

Yan Haibo nodded, "If we solve the problem of Qi State, we will be able to draw out 100,000 troops, which is a decisive force. It's time for Bai Yucheng to play his role."

Wu Kai laughed, "Indeed, Xiao Yanzi, I have withdrawn all the people outside Jishi City who can be withdrawn to Jishi City, as for the materials, take away what can be taken away, and burn all those who can't take it away, I have promised these people that the things burned will be made by the village chiefs in various places, and after the war, the county guard will be responsible for compensation. In this way, I have left behind two strongholds, Baiyang Village and Denglin Village, outside the town of Jishi County, and the rest have been withdrawn."

"Poplar Village and Denglin Village?"

"These two villages are mainly composed of retired soldiers, and their reservists are well known throughout the country, and I mean that from among the troops you have withdrawn, send two more regular armies into these two villages, and maintain two forces outside of Jishi County, I think it is very necessary." Wu Kaidao.

Yan Haibo laughed, "Lord Wu still says that he doesn't understand military affairs, isn't this the truth?" Maintaining two fortresses outside is indeed beneficial to the defense of Jishi City, and this time, I am not prepared to defend to the death, there are 100,000 Qin people, and we also have more than 50,000 people, in this battle, who loses and who wins!"

"The king has sent Agu Huaien's independent division of the Donghu cavalry to take the lead in coming to the rescue, this is a cavalry of 20,000 people, as soon as they arrive, you will be like a tiger with wings. And the king will also lead the young guards to come later, and Agu Wynn has already set out, so the king does not know when he will be able to set off."

"Agu Wynne? That Donghu man!" Yan Haibo frowned.

"Don't underestimate them because they lost to us, the cavalry of the Donghu people is better than the Hun cavalry, these Donghu people are now eager to make meritorious contributions and fight, but they are more desperate than our people!" Wu Kai said with a smile.

"I hope the commander will come back soon, I'm afraid this Agu Wynn won't listen to me." Yan Haibo shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, he's coming, I'm pressing, even if you give him orders, if you dare not listen to your orders, I'll make him look good!" Wu Kai sank his face and said.

"That's good!" Yan Haibo smiled, with Wu Kai's qualifications, he was not afraid that Agu Huaien would not obediently obey his orders.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Tang He, the head of the Supervision Yuan's branch in Jishi City, appeared in front of the two with a pale face, "Wu Junshou, Commander Yan, something happened."

"What's wrong?" Wu Kai's face changed drastically, there were not many things that could make Tang He so panicked.

Tang He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and turned his head to look at Yan Haibo: "Commander Yan, Commander Helan fell for Li Xin's plan to lure the enemy in the Siyang River, and now he is surrounded by Li Xin's 100,000 army layer by layer, and he can't get out."

Yan Haibo exclaimed: "How is it possible, have you made a mistake?" Commander Helan is experienced and extremely familiar with the situation in the steppe, how could he make such a mistake?"

"Li Xin swept through the steppes, constantly slaughtering the small Xiongnu tribes who did not retreat to Jishi City." Tang He walked to the map, picked up the charcoal pen on the side, and circled some places on the map again and again, "This is what we analyzed from the intelligence we synthesized afterwards, these seemingly aimless massacres, in fact, have only one purpose, that is, to lure Commander Helan to take revenge, these Qin troops sweeping on the grassland are all a thousand cavalry, two thousand foot soldiers, as long as Commander Helan attacks any of them, it will be like stabbing a hornet's nest to attract the entanglement of these Qin troops, And Li Xin laid a larger encirclement on the periphery, encircling Commander Helan Xiong into a net, no matter which direction our army attacked, it would run into Li Xin's troops, as the encirclement became smaller and smaller, Commander Helan's space for activity has been compressed smaller and smaller, and the last information we got was that Commander Helan went in the direction of the Aguyala Grand Canyon."

Tang He gasped, finished speaking in one breath, and threw the charcoal to the ground, "What now?"

"What else can I do? Attack, fight the enemy, and rescue Commander Helan!" Yan Haibo yelled, turned around and was about to walk out.

"Stop!" Wu Kai roared angrily, "Xiao Yanzi, do you know what is going on in the Aguyala Grand Canyon?"

Looking at Yan Haibo, Wu Kai pulled Yan Haibo to the map, pointed to a long black line, and said: "Come and see, this is the Aguyala Grand Canyon, about fifteen miles long, with cliffs on both sides, only one exit at each end, Commander Helan entered the Grand Canyon, Li Xin only needs to block at both ends, we can't kill it."

"Do you see what I mean?" Wu Kai looked at Yan Haibo: "Li Xin can vacate his main force, waiting for you to rescue Commander Helan, who is Li Xin, when he is a famous general, only Zhao Mu can compare with him back then, and he is much younger than Zhao Muke, it is when he is in the prime of life, the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, our Han army can often do."

"So what? Could it be that he watched Commander Helan trapped in the Aguyala Grand Canyon? Our troops are not much less than theirs, even if Li Xin trapped the commander, but I believe that Commander Helan also caused them great casualties, plus they blocked Commander Helan's men and horses, the people they can take out to win a decisive battle with us are 70,000 or 80,000 people earlier, and we Dongye plus your Jishi County reserve can also make up 60,000 or 70,000 horses." YAN Haibodao.

"If you want to fight Li Xin, Li Xin will fight you?" Wu Kai said coldly: "You took everyone away, what should I do in Jishi City?" If you go out and fall for Li Xin's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the Qin army's brigade goes straight to the empty Jishi City, what will Jishi City do, will you let me organize those old and weak women and children to go to the city to resist the enemy?"

"I ......," Yan Haibo suddenly stopped. Opposite you is Li Xin, a general who is the best at layout, any underestimation of him will bring disaster to ruin, I don't say the importance of Jishi City, you also know, the entire military industry of our Han is in the city, a large number of excellent craftsmen and the latest ordnance technology, if Jishi City is lost, do you know what this means? This will be our leading edge in the military industry is gone, the Qin people have caught these craftsmen, technicians, this in and out, with the strength of the Qin people, they will quickly reverse our lead in the military industry, and our Han will face heavy danger."

"Is it just watching Commander Helan trapped there?" Yan Haibo's eyes were red.

"For the sake of the Great Han, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed." Wu Kai said coldly: "Today is Commander Helan, if it is my turn tomorrow, I will not frown. One qiē for the big man! Haibo, you go and arrange the defense of the city. According to our previous arrangement, it will be implemented quickly, Commander Helan will be trapped, and the defense of Jishi City will fall on you, until the king arrives, and then take care of it."

"Then don't care about Commander Helan!" Yan Haibo gritted his teeth and said.

"The two ends of the Aguyala Grand Canyon are blocked, and it is true that he has entered the Jedi, but you must not forget that the people inside cannot come out, and it is not so easy for the people outside to get in, as long as Commander Helan persists, when our reinforcements arrive, he can be rescued."

"But there is no food and grass in the Ayagula Grand Canyon, and more importantly, there is no water source!" Tang He said in a low voice.

"Commander Helan is wandering on the grassland, and he must carry a certain amount of drinking water with him, but it's really not good, and there are war horses!" Wu Kaidao.

Yan Haibo hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and walked out. Looking at Yan Haibo's back, Wu Kai said to Tang Dao: "Tang He, you go and find Helan Kang and Helan Min, the two elders of Helan."

"County guard, isn't it adding chaos to letting the two elders know about this matter at this time, according to the opinions of his subordinates, it is best to hide it from them now."

"Hide? Can you hide it?" Wu Kai glared at Tang He, "Yan Haibo's army can't move, and the reserves of Jishi County can't move, I have to stay behind these people to guard Jishi City, but how can I really ignore Commander Helan." (To be continued......) R1292
