Chapter 513: Discuss countermeasures
The two stood on the city wall, and Lu Chensheng and Bai Yi talked about some of Chengxue's arrangements and some fortifications.
After listening to it, Bai Yi didn't have any suggestions for the fortifications, but only on the arrangement of soldiers and horses, as well as the placement of the camp, there were some more suggestions.
Lu Chensheng called Chengxue and asked Chengxue to negotiate with Bai Yi.
Bai Yi's army formation is much more powerful than Lu Chensheng's, and Bai Yi naturally has the final say in this matter.
After a while, Chengxue hurried back after hearing this, and she wanted to readjust the troop arrangement.
After Bai Yi saw that there was no problem, Lu Chensheng escorted Bai Yi towards the city wall.
"If the Tartars want to attack Xinghan City, I'm afraid they will have the idea of the people outside the city, and when those people attack the city, in addition to the siege equipment made by some craftsmen they carry, the other thing is to drive some Han prisoners to attack the city."
Bai Yi walked aside, talking to Lu Chensheng about his analysis.
"Xianggong didn't say that a lot of soldiers and horses on the grassland had disappeared, and some of the other party was coming for the people outside the city.
As long as tens of thousands of people outside are captured, even if the minister uses iron-blooded means to deal with it, it will consume a lot of arrows in the city, and the other party will have a chance to take advantage of it. ”
Bai Yi and Lu Chensheng said their thoughts.
She had studied the Tartars' offensive methods.
Generally speaking, it is to besiege the city, cut off water and supplies, and then spread some rhetoric around.
In a besieged city, it is really possible to do it after some rhetoric has been spread, and it is possible to directly dig out the opponent from the inside.
Even the people of the city will be troubled by this.
And if the morale of the army is shaken, it will be even more terrifying, and it will basically be easy to collapse at the first touch.
Another means is to take some craftsmen and start to build siege equipment on the spot, or else to capture the Han people and then act as a siege tool.
It would be even better if there were relatives of these captives on the walls.
Basically, that's what the other party means, although it seems to be very simple, and there is no change in the back and forth.
But it doesn't work well.
"Well, the husband also thought of it, so he is also preparing to fight the other party outside the city."
Lu Chensheng nodded in agreement.
Not only that, Lu Chensheng also prepared some gifts for the other party, hoping that the other party likes it.
"On the spies' side, there doesn't seem to be any news from the Jurchens, Xianggong said before that the Tatars and the Jurchens, but there are some contacts, why is there no news over there this time?"
When Lu Chensheng heard this, his face suddenly turned slightly solemn.
He had forgotten about it.
"Gu Zhifang? Call Gu Zhifang over. ”
Lu Chensheng hurriedly called.
Sometimes there are too many things, he does forget some things, and after adding that his subordinates did not give the other party's news, Lu Chensheng directly forgot about it.
Gu Zhifang was hurriedly called to Lu Chensheng.
When he heard Lu Chensheng ask about the situation on the Jurchen side, Gu Zhifang's face was bitter.
"The shopkeeper, it's not that he didn't send someone over, but he has already sent someone there, but the situation over there is more complicated, and the Jurchen people seem to be intent on guarding against outsiders, and our people can't get close, so there hasn't been any particularly useful news."
In order to reduce Lu Chensheng's work burden, things like this were handled by Gu Zhifang himself, and then he found a way or something.
So it has not been reported to Lu Chensheng.
Lu Chensheng's face looked slightly better when he heard this, it was good that the other party had not left this place.
There is still a difference between not doing it and not doing it.
"Those tribes on the grassland, now that they are moving so fiercely, presumably the Jurchen tribe has a little bit of movement, and there is no news over there?"
Lu Chensheng asked.
Gu Zhifang shook his head, "There is no news yet, looking at the other party's appearance of such strict precautions, it may be that there are really some moves." ”
Hearing this, Lu Chensheng waved his hand and motioned for Gu Zhifang to go down.
The Jurchens are also very powerful.
Compared with those Tartars, the ability to fight alone is actually a lot more powerful than the other party, but it is a pity that the Jurchen population is small, otherwise, I am afraid that the power is much stronger than those of the Zada tribe.
"The husband wants to give the other party a surprise, and I don't know if the other party also wants to surprise the husband, and unites the Jurchens to attack Xinghan City together?"
Lu Chensheng frowned, not knowing the movements of the Jurchen clan.
So it's hard to guess even if it's a guess.
"Xianggong should send more scouts out to have a look, if there are many enemies, it is better to place the defense line on the city wall, and it doesn't hurt to give up the fields outside."
More than 100,000 acres of fields are now drooping ears of rice, and they can be harvested in some time.
If you let it go at this time, not to mention those people, even Lu Chensheng will be distressed.
However, how much depends on the situation, if there are hundreds of thousands of enemies, this field will be conceded.
Otherwise, it will be a head-to-head confrontation, and Xinghan City will suffer too much.
Bai Yi knew that Lu Chensheng was a little reluctant to go outside the field, so he stuck to it outside, but it depended on the situation.
Lu Chensheng nodded, he was not a pedantic person.
The rice field will make him feel distressed, but if there are too many soldiers who died in the first battle, it will make Lu Chensheng feel even more distressed.
"Send more scouts, and if there is a large army coming, give up the fields outside."
Lu Chensheng nodded in response, generally speaking, it is unlikely.
Fight a small Xinghan City, and come with hundreds of thousands of troops, and then go to fight the dynasty.
Even if Lu Chensheng is asked to come, Lu Chensheng will not do this.
Lu Chensheng felt that the other party should not attach so much importance to himself.
Thundered....
A dull voice sounded, and the dark clouds pressed towards Xinghan City, and the electric light shuttled through the clouds.
In the dreary weather, everyone felt as if a breath was pressing on their chests.
After another thunderclap, the bean-sized rain began to fall in a dripping rain, and then it became a torrential downpour.
In an instant, there was a curtain of rain between heaven and earth, and only gray rain was falling from a distance.
It was as if the water that had been accumulated for a long time was about to be poured down at this moment.
Yueyue's two daughters seem to like rainy days, babbling with their little hands and looking at the rain curtain under the eaves.
Lu Chensheng sat in the study, looking at the rain curtain outside with a little contemplation.
After this rain, I am afraid that autumn is about to usher in, and the coolness of autumn is originally very popular.
It's a pity that this year's autumn is full of slaughter.
The heavy rain didn't last long, and it only rained for a moment when it was like this outside, and it was like giving alms for a moment.
It's also a shame that there is no shortage of water in Xinghan City now, so whether there is rain or not, everyone doesn't care very much.
