Chapter 944: The War Reversed
What's more, in order not to injure his own people by mistake, Li Shimin's soldiers and horses will take the initiative to let people light torches.
Just after all the oil had been spent, the 3,000 men began to attack with fire, and in a short time the barracks were burned everywhere.
Suddenly there was a fire, and the soldiers in the barracks began to do it when they found out, but there were not many who could really find out that it was the enemy.
As long as the same attire is not detected red-handed, it is not possible to do it.
In the end, only more than 100 of the 3,000 men were counted, and more than half of the 10,000 men in charge of the feint attack were lost, and the cavalry in charge of the attack did not lose much with the help of horses, and their main role was to lure the enemy and attract the enemy to pursue.
Many of the pursuers were pursued by them for a long distance, and they all managed to get out of trouble by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain, and the soldiers waiting for the soldiers on the walls of Wagang City had already seen someone returning.
They were all dressed in the costumes of the local camp, and they were all screened before they returned to the city gates.
Shan Xiongxin was also afraid of being exposed by the enemy, so he took this opportunity to be mixed into a spy, and only after it was confirmed did he dispel such thoughts.
"General, we set most of the barracks on fire, but we didn't find the enemy's food and grass."
"Okay, tonight, you should immediately take the soldiers back to rest."
Only when the adjutant general left did he ask: "General, the enemy's grain and grass may not be able to withdraw without the other party's grain and grass." ”
The adjutant general is right, the Chamber of Commerce camp is nothing to the soldiers who go on the expedition, and there will be no war without tents.
Shan Xiongxin knew from the beginning that it would be difficult to burn the enemy's grain and grass, but not taking risks would be very detrimental to the next battle, and now it seems that at least the speed of the decisive battle has been accelerated.
His goal has been achieved, from the very beginning he planned to use the defense of Wagang City to defend against foreign enemies, and he also wanted to find a favorable fighter to test the enemy's strength.
In the morning, Li Shimin's people counted the losses, and the biggest loss was that there would be many people who could only grieve when they were outside the tent.
If it rains at this time, they will be in a bad situation again, but these are just imaginations, and it is not really possible.
At this time of year, when the rain was scarce, the camp was lost, and a small part of the daily grain and grass was lost, mainly for feeding the horses.
After the statistics, after a night of tossing, the losses are not very large, and the biggest consumption is the energy of the soldiers, if the enemy calls for battle during the day, it will interfere with them.
"Your Highness, it's better to retreat twenty miles and wait for repairs before attacking the city." The eldest grandson Wuji came up with an idea.
"If you think like this, you will fall for the enemy's strategy, if it is replaced by what you are most looking forward to defending the city?" Li Shimin asked.
The eldest grandson Wuji's old face turned red, and the Penglai City he guarded didn't hold on for even a round, and he was very embarrassed to be asked about the sore spot at this time.
His expression was completely in Li Shimin's eyes, there was no way, Penglai's affairs were too weird, it really couldn't be looked at from the eyes of ordinary people, and anything could happen when he met the vanguard, no wonder the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Mowgli, talk about it."
How could Li Shimin not understand the embarrassment of the eldest grandson Wuji, but this did not affect the eldest grandson Wuji to make his own judgment.
"Your Highness, if I come to defend the city, of course I will choose the arrangement that is most beneficial to me, and I will defend the city."
"With 300,000 soldiers and horses, even if the enemy is far outnumbered, as long as the city wall cannot be breached in a short time, it may change the outcome."
"Now what Shan Xiongxin wants is to let us take the initiative to attack, use their advantages and wait for us to send it."
The eldest grandson Wuji can understand it, but looking at this situation, Li Shimin has already seen through it, so why didn't he choose to withdraw and repair.
"Since His Royal Highness King Qin has seen through the other party's thoughts, then are we going to attack the city next?" Little Snail Chinese Network
"How could it be that they did what they wanted." Li Shimin said.
When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin so calm, he knew that he had already come up with a way, calm down and wanted to hear what the best way to deal with it.
"Wuji, you just said that you want to rely on more than just the city wall to defend, what is the key?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.
Eldest Sun Wuji immediately thought about what he had just said before he carefully considered it: "Could it be the soldiers and horses that the enemy used to respond?" ”
"That's right, since we know that there are the enemy's main troops stationed outside Wagang City, our next goal is to find them."
Li Shimin did not withdraw, but repaired in the same place, and his scouts were sent out, and Shan Xiongxin on the wall of Wagang City on the other side was already preparing for the enemy's attack.
But there was no movement for the next three days, and there was a vague feeling that something big would happen, and Shan Xiongxin's premonition was very strong.
Li Mi has also been helping to actively pay attention to the city defense in the past few days, and some of his own guards are also strictly guarding the palace.
At night, Shan Xiongxin became more and more uneasy, and asked, "Haven't the heralds sent out have not returned yet?" ”
"Three people have been dispatched, and there is no news so far." The adjutant general said on the side.
"Oops, maybe the barracks in the suburbs have been discovered, ready to let them move overnight."
"Yes."
I have not sent a messenger to contact me for fear of being discovered by the enemy, and now I can't take care of this, and I must make sure that nothing happens to the barracks.
"The general is not good, it's the suburban fire."
At this time, the camp of 20,000 people in the Wei barracks on the outskirts was discovered, and Li Shimin's men began to launch a night attack.
Their purpose today was to wipe out the people here, and after searching for three days, they found not many barracks.
When Shan Xiongxin arranged these barracks, he was to prevent them from being attacked, so they were all scattered and hidden in the mountains.
Prudence allowed them to reduce their losses, at this time Shan Xiongxin could not do anything, it was impossible to open the city gate at night to send troops to rescue, he was afraid of the enemy's ambush.
Li Mi learned that the barracks in the suburbs had been attacked, and he didn't fall asleep at night, so he still found Shan Xiongxin to know the situation.
At this time, Li Mi was insecure.
If he survives the crisis smoothly, he will definitely not be like this, but unfortunately this is the case, and now the crisis is beyond his ability to bear, and he must know whether the soldiers and horses of Wei can hold it.
Shan Xiongxin doesn't know the situation of the drama now, and can only rely on his arrangement to increase Li Mi's confidence in him.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the barracks are all separated, even if they are discovered, they will not lose all their combat strength, and besides, the soldiers and horses of the Wei State have combat effectiveness, and even if they encounter the enemy, they have the strength to fight."
What Shan Xiongxin said was comforting words, to say that there was a strength to fight, just to say that the price paid by the other party was definitely less than that of his own side.
Li Shimin's soldiers and horses have a great advantage in troops, and they really can't easily compete with them.
"General Shan, my Wei Kingdom depends on you."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as there is a general, they will not be allowed to attack the city."
Shan Xiongxin is really going to open up, he is still very confident in himself, but Li Mi doesn't think so, and it shows that the situation is more serious than his phenomenon.
