On the main city of Fennan, Duan Shaozheng led the generals and looked down at the Western Wei army in the distance below the city, at this time the Western Wei army was driving the farmers to dig trenches, build earthen fortresses and set up camps, it can be seen that they want to form a barrier line to besiege Fennan City in the city, and then slowly capture the city, and the moat and earthen village stand, which can also prevent the defenders in the city from sneaking up at night.

Looking at the neat and orderly infantry phalanx in the front, Duan Shao asked expressionlessly, "What do you think?" You can say anything, listen to it, and brainstorm it! ”

When Qi Lian suddenly heard this, he first stood up and said: "Duan Shuai, while the enemy army has just arrived, it is the time of exhaustion, and our army is waiting for work, when will you not go at this time?" It's better to let someone go and meet the enemy for a while. ”

Duan Shao pondered for a while, and then saw that Gao Yang on the side was staring at the enemy troops outside the city without speaking, as if he was thinking about something, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hou Niyu (Gao Yang), what is your good plan?" ”

Gao Yang smiled and arched his hand towards Duan Shao and said: "Duan Shuai, I have observed that there are mostly infantry in the Yuwentai army, and there are relatively few iron cavalry, which is worth thinking about how to use compared to the composition of our army, which is almost entirely cavalry." ”

After Duan Shao heard this, his eyes slowly scanned the enemy lineup, and indeed as Gao Yang described, the Western Wei Legion was clearly divided in foot and cavalry, with most of the infantry phalanxes, while the cavalry phalanx was less, mainly used to defend the Chinese army, and he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

After a long time, I only heard Duan Shao slap the city wall heavily with his hand and said: "Yes, Hou Niyu has observed very carefully, this is the enemy's disadvantage, and now the main goal of our army is to delay time, and strive to win more time for the main Chinese army to capture Yubi, which is the ultimate goal of our army to occupy Fennan......"

The generals seemed to hear the meaning of Duan Shao's words, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, yes, their army went deep into the rear of the enemy's territory, and the main reason for occupying Fennan was to resist the reinforcements of the Western Wei Dynasty, so as not to expose the back of the main army besieging Yubi and be attacked by the enemy on both sides.

At this time, Qi Lianmeng did not have the sloppy color just now, he followed Gao Huan to fight in all directions all the year round, and there were not a few wars in the Western Wei Dynasty, of course he knew something about his opponents, after thinking about all this, Fu Fu said in a deep voice: "Duan Shuai and the second prince are right, since the last Battle of Pishan, the thief army has suffered heavy casualties, especially the Luoyang Xianbei cavalry that followed into the pass before suffered heavy losses, and now they have to rely on the local wealthy private soldiers and civilians to supplement the source of troops, so that the mobility of the enemy army is greatly reduced, This gave our army an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

As soon as Qi Lianmeng's words fell, Tang Yong also took over the conversation with a smile and added: "What also needs our attention is that the 50,000 troops under the city must be mainly border troops drawn from border counties in various places. Secondly, some of these soldiers are to close the local wealthy private soldiers, and some of them are recruited and recruited by the central government, plus the Xianbei people and Han people in the army are mixed, so there must be a certain contradiction, at least Yuwentai and other Chinese army commanders will not be so handy, as long as the enemy army is unfavorable to attack the city and is at a disadvantage, there will be many contradictions, so our opportunity will come. ”

After listening to everyone's thoughts, Duan Shao smiled slightly, and really had to brainstorm, everyone twisted into a rope, it was easy to think of a way, and finally the confidence of the generals was raised, and the goal was the same, even if the war did not go well, the generals in the city could unite and not be restless.

However, Gao Yang did not have the joy and relaxation on the faces of the rest of the people, just now Tang Yong said that the essence of the current problems in the Western Wei Dynasty, in fact, the Eastern Wei also has it, and the obstacles are greater than those in the Western Wei, after all, the Xianbei forces in the Western Wei Dynasty are relatively not as strong as the Eastern Wei, and with the long-term war attrition, the Xianbei forces in the early years are not so strong, so that there is an evenly matched confrontation between the Xianbei nobles and the Han Haoqiang. Fortunately, the timing they encountered happened to be the run-in period of the two forces of the Western Wei Dynasty, and there was a risk of instability, in fact, Yuwentai and other Western Wei generals and strategists must have also seen the current contradictions between the forces in the DPRK and China, but now that the foreign enemy has invaded and the land has been lost, Yuwentai has to forcibly suppress and drive these forces to use with his own personality charm, but the war is going well, if the battle situation is unfavorable, it is easy to have cracks, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is to the Eastern Wei side.

Time is the key to determining the outcome of the second game between the two sides!

For the dilemma faced at this stage, Gao Yang is confident to break it, but in the face of the future trend of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Yang has no confidence, you must know that the Eastern Wei Xianbei noble forces and the Hebei Hao clan forces are unimaginable, and the difficulties faced by the opponent Western Wei at this stage are definitely small compared to the Eastern Wei. Otherwise, as the trend of history, the three sons and sons of Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and Gao Yang would not be able to break this deadlock, let alone the heirs of the Gao family later, in the end of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, they were all in the contradictions and conflicts between the royal family and the noble forces, the Xianbei and the Han people, the Xianbei nobles and the Hebei Haoqiang, etc., which greatly weakened the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was finally eliminated by the Northern Zhou Dynasty...... Alas, the future will be talked about until you sit in that chair, and now it is better to survive first.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang said to Duan Shao: "Duan Shuai, the last general thinks that General Fu can lead some light cavalry out of the city to harass the enemy army, and only need to shoot at the enemy army from a distance, without close combat, which can not only delay the enemy's military work, but also make the enemy tired, which is more conducive to our army's next military operations." ”

When Duan Shao heard this, he pondered for a moment, and quickly understood what Gao Yang meant, and asked tentatively, "Is what Hou Niyu said about the night dark wind and high moon?" ”

Gao Yang smiled and nodded, the night was dark and the wind was high, killing people and setting fire to the sky...... Sneak attack on the enemy army at night!

Most of the generals next to him were confused, and they didn't know what Duan Shuai and the second prince meant, but Tang Yong next to him understood the conversation between the two, and then asked: "However, when the enemy army first arrived, it will definitely not slacken, is it feasible to act in this way?" ”

Duan Shao next to him also had this doubt, and looked at Gao Yang in a daze......

Gao Yang smiled at this, pointed to the sky and the earth, and then pointed to the enemy army opposite, and said: "The time, the place, and the people." ”

Duan Shao frowned after hearing this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, Hou Niyu, just point to it, don't fix the literati's set of non-existent things." ”

Gao Yang snorted after hearing this, and hurriedly apologized: "Duan Shuai, if it is getting late today, plus the cold winter season, this is the time of day." Our army lives inside the city and can withstand the cold, while the enemy lives outside the city, as long as our army sends out rangers to harass constantly, the fortifications on the periphery of the enemy's camp will not be completed tonight, and we have to rely on the guards of the soldiers, so that the soldiers will be fatigued, which is a good location. In order to prevent a sneak attack by our army, the enemy will send a large number of scouts to observe the movement of our army's city gate at all times, but if our army digs a tunnel out of the city from the city in a geotechnical way to the back mountain, and then unites with General Fu Fu outside the city, and launches an iron cavalry charge from behind, so that the enemy army will definitely not be able to launch a large-scale counterattack under the surprise of the enemy, so that our army can give the enemy a big lesson! ”
