Chapter 397: Dispersion
Xiao Ding did not discuss a feasible strategy to attack Jiaozhou City with the generals in the Ya Hall of Xiguancheng County, so he ended the meeting early and returned to his residence to practice.
Since the man in black came to assassinate him, Xiao Ding has become more aware of how important it is to have a good kung fu. If he hadn't reached the third level of Qi cultivation, if he hadn't practiced Vajra, he might have been killed by those eight men in black that night before the others arrived.
Therefore, Xiao Ding is more diligent in his cultivation, as long as he has time, he will go back to cultivate, although the aura of this era is thin and the cultivation speed is slow, but it is better than nothing! There is progress in slowness, and it is better than standing still.
Several spells of the third layer of Qi training, the stealth technique and the wall piercing technique, still have no progress, but the pure heart technique has improved, and it is not far from Dacheng.
The practice of purifying the mind can not only get rid of distracting thoughts and guard against demons, but also help to increase the divine sense, purify the soul, strengthen the soul power, and not be easily invaded by demons and evil spirits.
has been practicing until the evening, the ninth princess as always came to deliver chicken soup, although Xiao Ding has reminded her many times, hoping that she will not always send this, but the ninth princess as if she didn't understand, still make chicken soup every day, and even she doesn't know who learned the method of cooking medicinal food, put several tonic medicines in the chicken soup and cook them together, such as ginseng, cordyceps, cistanche, Yizhiren, etc., these drugs are all drugs that greatly replenish yang qi, Xiao Ding is young, blood and qi are strong, after drinking this chicken soup with tonics, the desire swells, and there is no woman by his side, which is extremely tormenting.
There was no way, so I had to suppress my luck, and I had to toss for most of the night every night before I could lie down and sleep. Otherwise, you won't be able to fall asleep at all.
persuaded the ninth princess several times not to send him chicken soup anymore, but the ninth princess did not listen, and Xiaoding did not dare to offend the princess, so she could only do perfunctory things every day.
After the nine princesses left, he put the chicken soup into the jade pendant space.
Now that he has a lot of things in his jade pendant space, at first, in order to keep all the things in it from piling up in the open space, he bought a lot of cabinets and shelves and put them inside, which can store a lot of items.
Later, in order to put maces, swords and other weapons, he also put a weapon rack inside.
Later, in order to make it easier to go out, he put a lot of daily necessities in it, such as tents, tables, chairs, benches, beds, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and rice, etc., anyway, the space is large enough, and it is very convenient to put things in.
As a result, in his current jade pendant space, it is like a grocery store, and he has put a copy of everything that can be used in daily life.
After leaving the ninth princess perfunctorily, Xiao Ding lay on the bed, thinking about the attack on Jiaozhou City. This time, it didn't take him long to come up with a way to break the enemy.
Xiao Ding found that since the Mind Purification Technique had been refined, he had become faster and faster at thinking about problems in his head.
After coming up with a way to siege the city, Xiao Ding was in a happy mood and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone gathered in the hall. Xiao Ding doesn't have to think about it to know that those generals definitely haven't come up with any good siege methods. As a result, it was exactly the same as I guessed.
Seeing that everyone didn't have any good plans, Xiao Ding said what he thought last night. Then arrange for the soldiers to carry it out.
This time, he did not seek to capture Jiaozhou City in one fell swoop, intending to consume the opponent's tens of thousands of troops.
At present, there are more than 30,000 defenders in Jiaozhou City, and there are about 50,000 Dali support troops in Zhaoqing City.
With so many troops, no matter where they are stationed, they are a threat to their side, and only when they are all destroyed can they be regarded as eradicating the great trouble.
On his own side, he scraped together enough troops of about 50,000. It is still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
The opponent refused to take the initiative to attack, but still defended, intending to use the remaining two cities to echo, attacking one city, and the other city to support, attacking from both sides, and the besieging side would be defeated.
Therefore, Xiao Ding's idea this time is still to use the loopholes in the echo of the other party's two cities to make a breakthrough.
"Yue Yunfeng, Yue Yunyu obey orders!" Xiao Ding picked up the arrow and shouted.
"The last general!" The two of them went out to give gifts.
"I order the two of you to lead 20,000 troops, bring Lianzhu crossbows, and go to attack Jiaozhou City, only do a feint, no need to really fight, use the crossbow car to fire a few rounds of spears and crossbows towards the city. If the other side is willing to go out of the city to fight, then you will fight them seriously. If the other party refuses to go out of the city to face the battle, you can just pretend to attack the city, do you understand? Xiao Ding said.
"The last general understands!" Yue Yunfeng and Yue Yunyu took the order.
"Yang Yueling, Yang Jingtian, Yang Jingze obey orders!" Xiao Ding picked up an arrow again and shouted.
"The last general!" The three of them came out to hug their fists.
"I will send you three to lead 20,000 soldiers, with more bows and crossbows, to ambush on the way between Jiaozhou City and Zhaoqing City, if Zhaoqing City has soldiers and horses to come out to rescue Jiaozhou, you will ambush them halfway. At the very least, the teams out of the city will have to be severely damaged. Do you understand? Xiao Ding said.
"The last general understands that the deputy marshal is to disperse the defenders in Zhaoqing City and carry out scattered attacks. However, the last general still doesn't understand anything, why didn't the deputy marshal attack Zhaoqing City, and then intercept the support army separated from Jiaozhou City? Yang Yueling was puzzled.
"Okay, that's a good question!" Xiao Ding said with a smile. "General Yang, let me ask you, how many defenders are there in Jiaozhou City? How many defenders were there in Zhaoqing City? ”
"There are 30,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou City, and there are 50,000 soldiers in Zhaoqing City!" Yang Yueling replied suspiciously.
"So, have you ever thought about it, we are like this now, send 20,000 soldiers to attack Jiaozhou, according to Qingcheng to divide troops to come out to rescue, 50,000 soldiers will be divided to rescue at most, and Jiaozhou, even if it goes out of the city to fight, at most 30,000 soldiers will all go out of the city to fight. And the two groups of men and horses I sent out were 20,000 soldiers, and they had the power to fight the enemy on either side. Speaking of this, Xiao Ding stopped and looked at Yang Yueling.
Yang Yueling scratched her head, still didn't turn the corner, and continued to ask: "So what, isn't it the same to attack Zhaoqing City and disperse the forces of Jiaozhou?" Wouldn't it be easier to attack Jiaozhou City if the forces of Jiaozhou City were destroyed? ”
"That's different. If we go to attack Zhaoqing City and send troops as it is now, two roads of men and horses, 20,000 people each, can completely cope with the interception of the army that came out of Zhongzhou City to rescue in the middle of the way, but if the 20,000 troops attacking Zhaoqing City, if all the 50,000 troops in Zhaoqing City go out of the city to face the battle, will our army still have the certainty of victory? Xiao Ding analyzed.
"This, it's also this Liha, that, the last general understands, I'll go down and prepare first." Yang Yueling listened to Xiao Ding's explanation, finally turned around, arched her hand, and walked out of the hall.
The other generals in the room, and Song Yinzi, heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ding with admiration.
The slightest difference between the two armies may determine victory or defeat. Xiao Ding, who seems to be sent out at random, is the result of careful consideration.
When marching to war, any detail is overlooked, it may determine the final outcome of a war.
Everyone admired Xiao Ding's meticulous thinking. Song Yinzi read the war book and battle strategy for many days in a row, thinking that he had gained a lot, but he didn't expect that he was still far from Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding's theory of the art of war may not be as open as Song Yinzi's, but he has experienced the tempering of his military career before and after the crossing, and all his wisdom is summed up in actual combat.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Ding sat in the county hall in Xiguan City, waiting for the good news from the front.
