Zhang Xiaowu asked again: "What other information have you found, and you will tell me with you?" ”

Cao Li said: "The humble officials also found that they only put a hundred sentries on the wall of the plague village, and although there were two thousand people in the tent, half of them were miscellaneous servants, and there were hundreds of slaves. I wonder if the Tartars are too confident in themselves, General, I suggest sending someone to assassinate Ligaotu. The Tatar Khan was a tribal recommendation system, and there was no such thing as succession from father to son, so once King Ligotu Khan was killed, his generals would inevitably have internal strife in order to compete for the Khan. ”

"How do you calculate that there are two thousand of them?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.

Cao Li said: "One of the lowly captains disguised himself as a slave and mixed in with it, poured a day's dung water for them, and he calculated the number of two thousand by the amount of dung water. ”

Zhang Xiaowuqi said: "What is the name of a Wu commander?" ”

Cao Li said: "It's called Xia Ming, it was originally the first regiment, after the defeat of Yashan, half of his body was burned, his appearance was ruined, and he escaped to Mucheng." It took half a year to recuperate, and he said that he was willing to do the hardest and most tiring work for revenge. ”

Zhang Xiaowu scratched his head, and said in his heart how this name seems familiar, as if he had heard it at some time, but he had no impression. He simply didn't ask anymore, he beat Cao Li's chest with a smile, and said, "Your suggestion is good, wait a minute, you can talk to everyone carefully." He turned around and said, "One catty, one catty, immediately call Mucheng Wenwu to a meeting in the General's Mansion Chamber." ”

"Whoa."

After the army of the Tatar tower surrounded the wooden city, the king of the Tatar Khan, Li Gaotu, fell in love with the deserted city of the plague village, because the plague village has become a small city after Zhang Xiaowu's expansion, the height of the city wall is half of the wooden city, of course, the material of the city wall is pure earth rammed, can not resist heavy siege equipment. But for beasts, insects and snakes, this plague village is a tall city that is difficult to climb, and Li Gaotu couldn't help laughing after seeing the plague village: "The Han people are very interesting, they will repair the city wherever they go, and it doesn't matter if they can use it or not." ”

With the high wall and deep wooden city, Zhang Xiaowu gave up the epidemic village early, but was picked up by Li Gaotu, and during the period of waiting for the siege equipment to be built, Li Gaotu sang and danced in the epidemic village and drank and talked, so unhappy.

"Ten days later, the siege equipment will be completed, and a general attack on the wooden city will be launched!" Ligotto drank his wine and ordered, he learned from the mistakes made by the Uzi before, and did not rush to attack when the siege equipment was incomplete, so as to avoid increasing casualties. At that time, the Uzi people only had one engineering ladder, and they could only climb a hundred people at a time, and the result was that the Han people only needed 1,000 people to completely stop the besieging army, which also led to the reason why the Uzi people could not attack for a long time, but were attacked by the Han army.

At the suggestion of his staff, he made a full 1,000 siege ladders and 5,000 claw ropes, ready to conquer the wooden city with one blow.

"Thank you to the Uzi for their mistakes." Legotto laughed and said to his subordinates, "Without those curly-haired black boys, we would definitely suffer a lot of losses." But the escape of the Han army a few days ago also made me notice, and now many people actually take it lightly, do you think that the defenders of Mucheng are useless? Stupid, they are the elite of the Han army, they can defeat 50,000 Uzi, what qualifications do you have to despise them? From today onwards, I will rest in shifts day and night, and if I know the news of being broken through by the Han army, the centurion and above will be beheaded! ”

After the Uzians fled westward, the Tatar generals patrolled carefully and no longer gave the wooden city a chance to break through, but the defenders of the wooden city did not intend to break through, they were just quietly waiting for this group of horseback steppe herdsmen to attack.

As light cavalry, the combat ability of the Tartar herdsmen is okay, but as siege infantry, everyone doubts their combat effectiveness, do the dismounted Tartars rely on scimitars to attack the city?

When Wu Song, Zu Gongmao, Xiao Kai, Hu Li, Shen Lindong and Li Chuncheng and other civil and military dignitaries came to the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, they were all shocked by Cao Li's good news, Xiao Kai said in disbelief: "Cao Manzi, are you sure they stationed the Shuai tent in the epidemic village and put it under our blade?" ”

Cao Li's mouth was cracked to the root of his ears, and he said, "Did I, Cao Manzi, deceive the general?" ”

"If you are given ten dares, you will not dare." Zugong Mao said, this Cao Li was originally his subordinate, he knew this person best, and immediately said: "General, let's say, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Let Cao Li continue to talk about his discovery." ”

Cao Li continued: "After a day and a night of reconnaissance, I and several officials found out the number of soldiers and horses and the location of the Tartars in the plague village, and found that in the past few days, the Tartars have been lax in their garrison, and they only know how to sing and drink all day long. Humble conjecture, the force of the high figure should be in the palm of the hand, so to take it lightly. ”

"So, the meat that is brought to your mouth must be eaten." Zhang Xiaowu's eyes narrowed into a line, I really don't know whether to thank myself for my extra thoughts, or thank Li Gaotu for being greedy and cheap. Everyone agreed that if they didn't attack the camp, they would be sorry for their heads (IQ).

Cao Li suddenly reminded: "I'm afraid it's difficult to attack the camp. ”

"Why is that?" Everyone hurriedly asked.

Cao Li said the reason, because the exit of the north tunnel of Mucheng is located in the smoke stone warehouse of the epidemic village, and the area of the smoke stone warehouse is not large, and the smoke and stone are piled up in most of the room, and the gap between the hiding can accommodate up to twenty people to hide. In addition, for secret reasons, the tunnel exit is only the size of a dog hole, which is inconvenient to enter and exit, and a stick of incense can only pass through fifty people, and it is very difficult to kill the camp with a steady stream of soldiers.

"So at the beginning I suggested the general, assassination." Cao Li said.

"Damn, Cao Li, isn't that what you say in vain?" Hu Li scolded and said, "There can be a maximum of twenty people in the warehouse, how can twenty people be assassinated?" There are 2,000 of them. ”

"Two thousand Tartars, is it accurate?" Woo Song asked cautiously.

Cao Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The number of these two thousand men and horses is that our six lieutenants have investigated and studied several times, so it is not accurate. And you also know that the plague village was originally the station of our old camp, and at most 12,000 people were stationed, so 2,000 Tartar people can naturally fit it. ”

Wu Song said: "The Tartars have blocked the water in the siege of Mucheng, and they have divided their troops to pursue Uzi, so the troops may not be sufficient, and there will not be too many people left in the tent. Although the defense of the plague village is not as good as that of Mucheng, if someone attacks the handsome tent, it will not be able to defeat it in two or three days. My lord, there should be no more than two thousand people around Gao Tu, who is humble and judgmental. ”

Shen Lindong said helplessly: "Assassination? This one...... We're not good at it. ”
