Chapter 389: The One Who Sent the Letter
The army has been stationed in Qingde County for many days, and it has been three days since the annihilation of the 70,000-strong army of the barbarian army. The attack on Jiaozhou City is now only one step away, but a good siege strategy has never been discussed.
Xiao Ding lay on the bed and thought hard, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind. He thought that since the attack on Jiaozhou City was now facing the biggest problem, that is, Jiaozhou City, Zhaoqing City, and Xiguan City could respond to each other, and attacking one city would send troops to respond. This will result in a situation of siege.
Then, if you want to break this situation, you still have to focus on attacking one of the cities, as long as you capture one of the cities, the three-city corner of the King of Jiaozhou will be cracked, and only two cities will echo, which will be much easier to deal with.
However, focusing on attacking one city will still turn back to the problem at the beginning, and you will have to face the situation of three cities attacking together.
Therefore, this focus on attacking a city also needs to be outwitted, not hard.
As for which city to focus on, Xiao Ding thought about it for a while, and he had already set a goal, that is, Xiguan City, which had the least troops. Through the report, Xiao Ding has learned that the king of Jiaozhou has sent the 50,000 troops sent by Dali to support Zhaoqing City, and the original more than 50,000 defenders in Jiaozhou, he sent 20,000 to guard Xiguan City, leaving more than 30,000 to guard Jiaozhou City.
In fact, Xiao Ding can also guess the reason why the king of Jiaozhou allocated troops in this way. The 50,000 soldiers and horses who came to support the Dali Kingdom could not be separated, and could only be led by the military generals of the Dali Kingdom. Jiaozhou City originally had more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the king of Jiaozhou could not only leave the army of Dali, and send the original Jiaozhou troops to guard the other two cities, in that case, it is equivalent to handing over the fate of Jiaozhou City to the hands of the army of Dali, and the king of Jiaozhou will not do this no matter how stupid he is, so he sent the army of Dali to Zhaoqing City and let them guard a small city.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ding went to the county hall to discuss the military situation with the generals as usual, and as expected, the other generals still did not come up with a good plan to attack the city.
Xiao Ding said what he thought last night in public.
As for how to focus on taking Xiguan City, Xiao Ding did not say it in person, but first packed the heads of Du Ziteng and Yi Chunzhu, the generals under the King of Jiaozhou, in a wooden box, and sent someone to Song Yuanyan in Jiaozhou City.
The human head is sealed with wax, otherwise, it would have broken down on such a hot day.
Then, he wrote a letter to Gu Ziji, the main general of the guard of Xiguan City, and ordered someone to sneak into Xiguan City, pretend to send the wrong letter, and send the letter to the deputy general Wang Ba.
If you want to mix into Xiguan City, it will also take some effort, because now that the two armies are at war, the gates of several cities on the front line will not be easily opened.
However, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the people inside and outside the city, each city can only open and close the city gates for a limited time every day, and strengthen strict inspections, and never allow people with swords to enter the city.
In the past, there was no wartime gate, and it might have been opened for a day, but now it is only open for one or two hours a day, and after that time, the gate is closed, and the people inside and outside the city cannot pass through.
Therefore, if the messenger wants to blend into the city, he must grasp the opening time of the city gates, and then follow the people into the city, and he cannot enter the city with a sword.
Therefore, the requirements for this messenger are higher, not only need to be able to be agile and flexible, but also need to be able to encounter danger and escape with all his body. In other words, if someone finds a flaw, you must have the ability to escape from the city.
After the letter was written, Xiao Ding thought about it, but he didn't think about who would be more appropriate.
Most of the generals under his command have seen Wang Ba, and once they are recognized by Wang Ba, it is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. So be sure to find an unfamiliar face.
The pseudo-mother Gao is a strange face, Wang Ba has never seen Gao Jianei, but unfortunately Gao Jianei is an unbearable person, and Xiao Ding does not dare to hand over such an important matter to Gao Jiannei.
While thinking about it, someone suddenly came to report that there were thousands of people dressed as Jianghu people outside the city, claiming to see Deputy Marshal Tian.
When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart, could it be that those Jianghu sects in Zhongzhou came here?
Follow the guards to the head of the city, look down, sure enough, it was Mei Qiuyang and Bai Qianbei, and the two of them led a team of four or five thousand people to the front of the city, I don't know if I thought it was the troops who came to attack the city.
Xiao Ding hurriedly shouted to the city, greeted, and ordered the city gate officials to open the city quickly.
Seeing these Jianghu sects that had entered the city one after another, Xiao Ding suddenly had a whim, if he let these sects go to the battlefield to fight, would it have a miraculous effect?
However, these Jianghu people may not be willing to fight on the battlefield. After all, fighting on the battlefield is not their forte, but using them as special forces should be able to exert unexpected effects.
Xiao Ding walked down the city while thinking about it, and welcomed Mei Qiuyang and dozens of other leaders into the county government hall. The hall was filled all at once.
In addition to Mei Qiuyang and Bai Qianbei, in the crowd, Xiao Ding saw a few familiar figures, Master Xuanku and Master Xuanen of King Kong Temple; Yuyingzi of Yuqingmen and several other old Taoist aunts; Mei Qiuyang's two daughters, Mei Ruoshuang and Mei Ruoxue; Tang Chen's senior brother Tang Chen and junior sister Tang Yunzhi; Yuan Caiyi, the head of the Splendid Workshop, and his disciples Liu Chulan, Tinker Bell and other women; Mu Hong and Mu Yiyi's uncle and nephew of the Misty Cloud Sect......
Many other heads or leaders of various sects, many of Xiao Ding looked familiar, but they couldn't name them. Most of them had a relationship with them when they were at the Yuqing Mountain Pill Conference, and they also discussed with them about jointly dealing with Tianluomen and Disha Valley.
The Mei sisters, Tang Yunzhi, Mu Yiyi, and Tinker Bell, after seeing Xiao Ding, all gathered around Xiao Ding to ask for warmth, and asked questions about the west.
Xiao Ding coped with them one by one awkwardly, but muttered in his heart, you don't look at what kind of place this is, so many people are watching, you girls, why don't you pay attention to your image?
The others saw that several young beauties were suddenly surrounded by Xiao Ding, and they didn't say anything, just smiled slightly and looked at them.
Song Yinzi saw that Xiao Ding was so popular with girls, and he was a little surprised, and said in his heart that he was not favored by so many beauties like General Tian as King Mu, it seems that this General Tian is really young and romantic!
It was not easy to get rid of the entanglement of these girls, and Xiao Ding greeted and greeted all the heads and leaders one by one.
Then, everyone sat down and talked to each other about what happened after parting.
Needless to say, Xiao Ding's side, Mei Qiuyang and Bai Qianbei of course sent their subordinates to contact the various sects and factions according to the arrangement made by Xiao Ding when he left, and everyone took care of each other, so they waited for Jiaozhou to come and destroy Tianluomen and the Earth Demon Valley together.
went to meet the Jinxiufang and King Kong Gate of the Tang Gate and the Miyun Sect, and met the Tang Gate that was intercepted and killed on the way. Later, they waited for the Misty Cloud Sect to return to Zhongzhou City together.
By the time they returned to Zhongzhou City, Xiao Ding had already led a large army to set off. So they stayed in Xiao Ding's general's mansion and waited for news.
After receiving the letter sent by Xiaoding a few days ago, they were very happy, they had come to Zhongzhou for so long, and they were finally about to come to the end, how could they not be excited?
On the same day, Mei Qiuyang and Bai Qianbei sent their disciples to contact the various sects that had arrived in Zhongzhou City, and agreed to go to Shaoxian County early the next morning to meet Xiao Ding.
However, when they arrived in Shao County, they learned that Xiao Ding had already hit Qingde County. So they came to Qingde County again.
Along with the team, there were also Fan Sanpang, Sun Dasheng, and Luo Dafeng, all of whom rushed over from Yongzhou with Xiaoding.
Xiao Ding looked at everyone, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, and secretly thought, this time there is no need to worry about the person who sent the letter!
