"Just attack Xuzhou directly from the front? Is there anything else you can do to prepare for this? Or are we going to set up an ambush somewhere? But in this way, it seems that our troops are not enough! Lu Guangda said puzzledly.

"There is no need to ambush soldiers, we have an army, concentrate our forces, and just kill them directly! Kill the past with a swagger! Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

"Then, isn't that tantamount to telling Gao Changgong our offensive line? If they set up an ambush trap in advance and wait for us to advance, then we will not fall for the scheme? Lu Guangda said even more puzzled.

"Our purpose is to capture Xuzhou and recover Huaibei, so we must wipe out the 20,000 Qi troops in Gao Changgong's hands, so that we can call the complete recovery of Huaibei, if we simply drive them away, then even if we occupy Xuzhou, we will face the danger of their counterattack in the future! So we have to lure the snakes out of their holes and let them attack us, and then we can take advantage of the opportunity to destroy them all! At that time, there will be no Qi army in the entire Huaibei, and we will be done once and for all! Xiao Yao explained.

"Although General Xiao's words are reasonable, but the premise is that we can resist their active attack, General Xiao, don't forget, now Gao Changgong has an artillery unit in his hands! And when the time comes, we must have enough troops to be able to counterattack in time, so that we can have a chance to destroy them all! Lu Guangda reminded Xiao Yao, and then asked another question and said: "Then if Gao Changgong refuses to take the initiative to attack, he is still hiding in Xuzhou City, just like the last Xuzhou War, waiting for us to suddenly launch a sneak attack on us when we are ready to attack the city!" Then we are in danger! ”

"The reason why they were able to defeat General Lu last time was indeed because they had those muskets and cannons that they had snatched from me! But General Lu, don't forget, these firearms of theirs were all invented and manufactured by me Xiao Yao, wouldn't I know their weaknesses? It is precisely because I already have a strategy to break the enemy that I will use this strategy to deal with Gao Changgong! And if they hide in Xuzhou City, it would be even better, so that we don't have to go around to find them for a decisive battle! Xiao Yao said confidently.

"Since General Xiao is so confident, I won't say more! When I was in Shouyang, I had seen the power of General Xiao and the infantry battalion, so I also believed that General Xiao could lead us to defeat Gao Changgong this time and avenge the dead brothers! What task is General Xiao going to arrange for Lu to be responsible for? As long as I can defeat the Qi army and take Xuzhou, whether it is on the sword mountain or under the sea of fire, even if General Xiao uses me as a bait to lure Gao Changgong out, I Lu Guangda will go all out and will never drag General Xiao back! Lu Guangda patted his chest and said.

"Haha, you and I comrades, how could Shiro let General Lu go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, this main attack will be the responsibility of my forward brigade soldiers, as for General Lu, then use a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, while we are fighting with Gao Changgong's main force, you will take the opportunity to capture Xuzhou City!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"A plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? It's as simple as that? It's too easy a tactic, isn't it? Not to mention that General Xiao's forward brigade only has 5,000 soldiers, while Gao Changgong has more than 20,000 troops in Xuzhou, and even in Xiapi County, there are tens of thousands of Qi troops stationed. You must know that Gao Changgong is the god of war of the Qi army, and he is scheming, he may not be fooled, General Xiao can't underestimate the enemy! "Lu Guangda can be said to have been bitten by a snake for ten years and is afraid of grass ropes, but now he no longer dares to despise any opponent!

"The simpler the tactic, the more effective! And it can also confuse the enemy, make the enemy suspicious, hesitate, and finally miss the fighter, wouldn't that be more beneficial to us? Xiao Yao said with a laugh. Yue eBook

"When marching and fighting, you should indeed be cautious! But you can't be afraid of this, you can't be afraid of that, sometimes you have to be resolute and decisive, so General Lu doesn't have to worry too much! Please remember that I, Xiao Yao, am here to seek revenge from Gao Changgong, not to send him to death! No matter how powerful Gao Changgong is, the trump card in his hand now is nothing more than the artillery unit of my infantry battalion and the Baibao Xianbei heavy cavalry of their Qi country, at most plus some light cavalry, and the other infantry is not to be afraid at all, so I now have the means to deal with them! Xiao Yao encouraged Lu Guangda and said.

"And in the face of absolute strength, even if we let our opponents know our plan first, then what can they do? So although our plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is obvious, even if Gao Changgong knows, he can only be helpless, either leave the city and take the initiative to attack, or stick to the city, I have a way to crack these two options of his! However, considering that Gao Changgong's current arms are mainly good at attacking, and last year in Xuyi County, Gao Changgong also saw my siege methods, so I am sure that he will not choose to defend the city, and will definitely take the initiative to attack, using his offensive advantages of cavalry and artillery troops, and concentrate his forces to fight a decisive battle with me! So when the time comes, General Lu only needs to lead the soldiers under your command, take advantage of the time when we are fighting with Gao Changgong, immediately attack the city, and take Xuzhou City as quickly as possible, and Gao Changgong's troops will definitely collapse and be defeated! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"Good! Now that General Xiao already has a plan to win, then Lu will definitely fully cooperate with General Xiao's battle plan! Now I'm going to gather my subordinates, and then set off with General Xiao to attack Xuzhou City and find Gao Changgong for revenge! Lu Guangda saluted and said, then turned around and went out, his body was swept away with the aura of a loser before, and now his body is full of fighting spirit!

。。。。。。

December 25, in the city of Xuzhou.

"Lord Wang, according to the report of the spies, Xiao Yao just arrived in Renzhou City, and within a few days, he immediately led the remnants of Lu Guangda's army to defeat the general, left Renzhou City and marched to Xuzhou City, and marched with great fanfare along the way, for fear that we would not know! Unexpectedly, this Xiao Shilang had already set off from Jinling City at the beginning of the month, but he did not rush to Renzhou directly, but stayed in Xuyi County for ten days, and finally arrived in Renzhou on the twentieth day of the lunar month! Why didn't this Xiao Yao look like he was acting urgently at all, but was leisurely, wasn't he afraid that Emperor Chen Guo would investigate him for delaying the fighter? It's a shame that we've been worrying about when he will suddenly attack Xuzhou these days! Wei Xiangyuan said with a look of grievance, since he heard that Xiao Yao returned to the battlefield and led troops to reinforce Huaibei, his whole nerves were tense!

"Presumably he had a lot of confidence in his newly formed forward brigade and felt that they would be able to beat us, which is why he seemed so relaxed and looked like he didn't take us seriously! However, underestimating the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, this time we have to defeat Xiao Yao again like the last time in Linying County! Gao Changgong said fiercely.

"That's right! This time, we will definitely defeat this forward brigade again, and then capture this Xiao Yao alive! Wei Xiangyuan also said with self-encouragement, and then asked Gao Changgong again: "This Xiao Yao is so light on the enemy, then this time we are like defeating Lu Guangda, luring Xiao Yao to take the initiative to attack the city, and then planting ambushes outside the city to attack them?" ”

"This ploy has already been used once, and if it is used a second time, it will be difficult for them to fall for it again! And this Xiao Yao is different from that Lu Guangda, he is scheming, he doesn't make moves according to common sense, and he can't be guarded against! There is also the rebuilt forward brigade, we don't know what secret weapons they have in their hands, if we let them attack the city directly, in case Xiao Yao uses any strange weapons, he will break through Xuzhou City at once, the consequences will be unimaginable! Gao Changgong shook his head and said.
