These school captains Sima were a little confused, they rushed to the city of Lecheng, they were ready to ask Yanghu for battle, they all wanted to attack Lecheng at the first time, and they all wanted to grab this first credit.

  But Yanghu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and came back after a slow and leisurely circle, but let the army set up camp, according to this time it was just past noon, would it be too early to set up camp now?

  However, Yanghu has always been strict in governing the army, and orders must be carried out, since he has already issued the order to camp, there is no possibility of change, and the captains can only return to their respective departments, act according to orders, and set up the camp.

  Seeing this, Ma Long smiled slightly and said, "Uncle brother, your move is a bit of a demoralization blow to the soldiers." ”

  Yanghu said in a deep voice: "Attacking the city is not a child's play, rushing can only be a hurry, the infantry battalion has not had a decent battle for several years, although it is a good thing to have a high desire to fight, but they are too impetuous, first set up camp and settle down, let their hearts calm down, and then formulate a detailed attack plan, the siege is to fight a protracted war, not in a hurry." ”

  Although the infantry battalion is now high-spirited, Yanghu can see that the officers and men of the entire battalion are very impetuous and too eager to succeed, and if it goes well with such a mentality, it will be possible to win Lecheng in one go, but if it does not go well, the morale of the Bingzhou army will inevitably be hit hard, and it is likely to collapse.

  But can the music come true in seconds? Yanghu doesn't think so, although the defenders of Lecheng are only 20,000 people, and there is a gap between the number and the state army, but don't forget, the Jizhou army is the side defending the city, they have the bonus of city defense, and in this era of cold weapons, siege is often the most difficult battle, many classic examples prove that thousands of Rao defenders may be able to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of troops.

  Therefore, with 30,000 troops against 20,000 defenders, Yanghu did not feel that he had much advantage.

  Moreover, the side besieging the city, for example, is the side with the greatest casualties, even if it really has to take the city, the price paid is extremely heavy, and this way of still 1,000 and 800 self-losses is not what Yanghu wants.

  For the time being, only the infantry battalion and the first battalion are responsible for the siege task, and only on the northern front of Jizhou, there are more than five cities that need to be attacked.

  Cao Liang's large-scale attack on Jizhou this time, not with the attitude of trying to fight, but preparing to swallow Jizhou in one breath, as the infantry battalion as the main attack, Cao Liang had high hopes, Yanghu naturally has a higher vision than the generals, he not only needs to consider tactical matters, but also needs to consider strategic matters.

  That's why Yanghu calmed down, and did not rush to attack Lecheng, but first set up camp to recuperate, and then according to the enemy's garrison, he worked out a detailed siege plan.

  When camping at night, the infantry battalion did not need to worry about the enemy coming to sneak attack, and the state cavalry was cruising nearby, and the defenders of Lecheng had already been frightened, and they had no idea of leaving the city at all.

  Not only the defenders of Lecheng, but even the defenders of Xindu and other cities were divided by the three major cavalry of Bingzhou, and there was definitely no hope for reinforcements, as long as they dared to leave the city where they were, before they arrived at Lecheng, I am afraid that they would have been wiped out by the Bingzhou cavalry halfway to the point that there was no scum left.

  In the plains, don't be these newly recruited troops whose combat effectiveness is weak and scum, even if they are battle-hardened infantry, they can only be killed in seconds when they encounter the Bingzhou cavalry, because the infantry against the cavalry is not at the same level at all, and there is no comparison at all.

  Zhong Hui is very aware of this, so he has come up with a set of Jizhou defense strategy, the core of this defense strategy is to stick to each city, each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and cares about the frost on the tiles of others.

  No matter if any city is besieged or attacked, you can only rely on your own strength to defend the city, and don't expect any reinforcements to help.

  And the Bingzhou army did use the method of dividing and encircling to deal with the Jizhou army one by one, and the Yuecai battalion was currently deployed in the area of Xindu and Lecheng, and Cao Liang arranged it this way, which was to use the Yuecai battalion to deal with the defenders of Xindu.

  This time the first attack on Lecheng, Cao Liang was not worried that the Jizhou army in other places would be reinforced, but the Xindu garrison was 50,000, which was the only mobile force on the northern defense line, and put the Yuecai battalion between Xindu and Lecheng, that is, to lend Lu Zhao ten courages, and he might not dare to send a soldier or a pawn.

  Therefore, after Yanghu led the army to Lecheng, he camped and set up a village, naturally he had no fear, and there was no need to worry about the Jizhou army coming to steal the camp and rob the village.

  However, Rao is like this, Yanghu is still carried out according to the normal camping process, how many people rest, how many people are on guard, still the same, such a habit is a habit formed by Yanghu over the years, even if it is thousands of miles away from the enemy, Yanghu has never slackened half a point, and the infantry battalion is even more accustomed to it, and implements Yanghu's orders step by step.

  The infantry battalion was camped in the west of Lecheng, and the first camp was camped in the east of Dongcheng, and the two large camps were one east and one west, which happened to sandwich Lecheng in the middle.

  Looking at the brightly lit Bingzhou military camp five miles away, Jiang Xiu stayed awake all night, and some stunned subordinates proposed to Jiang Xiu that he should take advantage of the opportunity of the new arrival of the Bingzhou army and its unstable foothold, and go out of the city in the middle of the night to sneak attack.

  Jiang Xiu didn't say anything for a long time, just looked at the subordinate with the eyes of an idiot, to be honest, this world is big, and there are really all kinds of birds, so I don't know what these people are doing with their heads, maybe they don't pretend to be brains at all, right?

  Such a mentally retarded strategy was actually embarrassed to propose it to him, go out of the city to attack, what is the difference between that and an egg hitting a stone, purely seeking his own death, if this subordinate is not a cronie who has followed him for a long time, Jiang Xiu wonders if he is a spy sent by the state army, and deliberately fools him out of the city to die.

  Jiang Xiu opened his mouth and scolded the subordinate for a bloody head, and then kicked him hard to get out, so that the subordinates around him were silent, and no one dared to be angry anymore, after all, at this time, I am afraid that what can be done is a bad idea, and now Jiang Xiu is angry, and he has to be beaten and scolded if he is not careful.

  Jiang Xiu vented for a while, and finally stopped, he sighed, and ordered the army guarding the city to constantly increase vigilance day and night, beware of a sneak attack by the state army at night.

  also sneak attack others, it's good not to be sneak attacked!
