The fifteenth month of the first month is full.

The moon in the northern part of Dalong also hangs high in the sky, heralding the arrival of the Lantern Festival.

However, the arrival of the Lantern Festival did not add a little joyful atmosphere to northern Xinjiang, but presented an atmosphere of slaughter.

In the general's mansion, Zhang Madness was holding a candle in his hand and carefully reviewing the map around Yingzhou City, showing a thoughtful look from time to time.

For several days in a row, except for the first day of the tentative siege of the prince of the land department, the Turks attacked Yingzhou City on a small scale in these days.

Trying to understand the deployment of troops in Yingzhou City, Long Wuwei of Yingzhou is also studying the new tactics of the Lu Division.

The lesson of heavy casualties in the first battle made the Lu Department change the tactics of attacking the south and attacking fiercely, and began to play the art of war, and the troops attacking Yingzhou City were only about 1,000 people each time.

Zhang Mad understood that this was a ploy of the Lu Ministry, and wanted to lead Long Wuwei out of the city to fight, followed by the consumption of the arrows of the Long Wu Guard's guards, two days ago, for the attack of the Lu Ministry, Zhang Mad also ordered the soldiers to still be covered with arrows, and later knew that this was futile and could not achieve significant results, so he ordered the guards on the city wall not to release arrows.

However, the Turks still enjoyed it, disturbing Long Wuwei's army three times a day.

"Xiong Kaishan, Huo Buyan, Ke Yan see the general."

"Excuse me, how's the situation outside the city?"

"It's still the same, besieged but not attacked, the Turks are now quite afraid of our eight-bull crossbow, and they don't dare to enter the range of five hundred steps at all."

"General, the last general has just observed the situation of the Turkic camp on the city wall, and I am afraid that they will attack in less than two days."

"That's right, general, now the enemy and us have almost tried it, the Turks are afraid that they are fed up with the cold and freezing days outside, people can stand it, but the war horses can't stand it, and it is estimated that there will be a general attack in the near future."

Zhang Mad stood the candle in his hand on the table and took down the map hanging on the wall: "Kaishan, how long will it take for the light cavalry under your command to rush to this position." ”

Xiong Kaishan thought for a while: "Back to the general, it will take about thirty breaths, this terrain is complex and uneven, the war horse can't let go of the shelf and run wildly, and it must pass through this uneven depression smoothly before you can rush and kill with all your strength." ”

"Thirty breaths? Can you think of a way to rush here in twenty breaths? ”

Xiong Kaishan stared at the map for a while and shook his head: "General, there are some difficulties, if you want to rush here in twenty breaths, you must cross this depression first, but the cavalry will be exposed to the eyes of the Turks." ”

"How about sending someone to fill in this depression?"

Huo Buyan also frowned and looked up.

Zhang shook his head: "No, not to mention that our intentions will be exposed under the noses of the Turks, secondly, it is difficult to take soil, the ground outside is frozen like stones, and finally the terrain is covered with snow and it is difficult to identify, the soldiers can still cross this depression according to their memory, but once they miss a ravine, it will make the light cavalry mess up." ”

"Alas, these Turkic people don't know what to think, can't they just stay in the big tent and sleep in the cold days, they have to go south, isn't it more conducive to their attack when spring comes?"

"Brother Kaishan, you are very wrong when you say this, it is conducive to the attack of the Turks, but it is not good for us, these Turks can't be underestimated, their combat methods completely suppress our configuration, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, but our war horses can't catch up, otherwise where will they be so arrogant."

Ke Yan said helplessly.

Xiong Kaishan scratched his head in embarrassment: "My old bear is almost confused by these guys, but Ke Yan, what you said is right, even our light cavalry can't keep up with the Turkic war horses, and finally there are hundreds of Turkic war horses, the number of people is too small to catch up and it is easy to suffer, what a fucking nest." ”

Zhang Yan sighed: "Since it is less than twenty breaths, let's find a way to delay the speed of the Turkic attack." ”

"No matter how to delay, we can't go out of the city to meet the enemy, once a general attack is launched, even if the Ke Yan brothers' Mo Dao team is extremely powerful, how can the two thousand Mo Dao team resist the Turkic army of nearly 30,000."

"Four hundred bed crossbows looks like a lot, but facing 30,000 Turkic iron horsemen is just a drop in the bucket."

"General, if you don't lead the light cavalry to steal a battalion, you can kill as many as you can, and then hit their arrogance first."

"Don't be reckless, according to General Ben's understanding of Ashina Si, this guy must have already tied up his pockets and waited for us to drill in, and going to the camp now is tantamount to killing himself."

"Ah........ The weather on dog days, you can freeze when you pee, and you really don't want people to live. Zhong Qiang walked in with a yawn.

These days, the busiest except for the arrogant are the soldiers of the bow and arrow battalion, who have to guard against Turkic attacks every day.

Zhang Qiang's eyes lit up and looked at Zhong Qiang, who was yawning: "Zhong Qiang, what did you just say?" ”

"Huh?" Zhong Qiang was slightly stunned, looking at Zhang Qiang and a little at a loss: "General, the last general will definitely not explode next time." ”

"It's not a problem, you just said that you can freeze even if you pee?"

"Yes, yes...... The last general has just come out of the latrine. ”

Zhang Mad slapped the table: "There is a way." ”

"General, what's the solution?"

Several people all stared at the tiger and looked arrogant.

"Watering."

"Watering?"

"Where to water?"

Huo Buyan was slightly stunned and immediately understood: "General, you want the snow outside the city to freeze, in that case, the Turkic cavalry will not be able to let go." ”

"Not only can't the cavalry be used, but their siege equipment doesn't even want to get closer."

"General, if everything freezes over, you won't be able to do it overnight."

"It can't be all frozen, if it's all frozen, the Turks will definitely retreat, just sprinkle cold water at a time between a gap of about a zhang, then the snow will be soft, the ice will be solid, and a loose and solid can form a natural defense line, and the heavy siege equipment must break the ice if you want to transport it, but then they will become a live target for archers, and they will die for life."

"General, you're so bad....... Wise. ”

glared at Zhang Qiang angrily and analyzed it on the map: "Zhong Qiang, Huo Buyan, you let your brothers who are quick with their hands and feet climb the rock to go down the city wall with ropes, and allocate 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to help fetch water, so you can have a different kind of Lantern Festival." ”

"Order."

The two of them left the General's Mansion without hesitation.

"Ke Yan, the Golden Eagle has passed the book to the other generals of the Five Guards, and asked them to try this method as well."

"Order."

"General, there are six hundred miles in the capital that have been sent over."

"Six hundred miles in an expedited? Could it be that something happened in the capital? Quick pass. ”

"Qi Wei has seen the general."

"Commander Qi? Why are you, could it be that something is wrong in the capital? ”

Qi Wei took out a brocade box from his back: "General, Your Majesty asked the last general to send a clairfront mirror to help the general observe the military situation." ”

"What is a clairvoyant?"
