Chapter 684: Precise Planning
After bidding farewell to Murong Xue, Han Xuening, Wei Yunxuan and their party kept moving west.
The next day, the large army arrived at the territory of Tujia Village.
After the last attack by the army sent by the empress, there were almost no civilians in Tujia Village.
The few people who hid last time and escaped the catastrophe rely on the leaves and roots around them every day.
Along the way, there were only a few dozen sloppy Tujia village peasants, and their shabby and thin clothes looked very pitiful in the cold wind in winter.
Han Xuening asked the soldiers to take thick clothes and give each person a set, and gave these people a little food.
In this way, she felt better.
Mu Xiaoyun couldn't help but shed tears when she watched the people of her village live such a life.
How long has it been since the once extremely powerful Butcher Village has become so deserted, how can she not feel sad in her heart?
After this period of time, Zhong Xiaozi and Mu Xiaoyun got along very well, and the two girls almost had the same background, so they cherished each other even more.
Zhong Xiaozi also knew Mu Xiaoyun's past, looking at Mu Xiaoyun's sad appearance, she was constantly comforting her on the side.
Mr. Wen told everyone that the weather here is getting colder and colder, and there may be a heavy snowfall in the next few days.
After walking west for two days from Tujia Village, you will arrive at Liangzhuang outside the west gate of Dawei City.
After several wars, the people on the other side of Liangzhuang fled and died, there were almost no villagers in the countryside there, and the village was deserted.
Even Zaozhuang, Xiaocui's hometown, there is no one in the whole village. In the troubled times, the people of these villages have fled.
Everyone saw the desolation along the way, except for a few people they saw in Tujia Village, there were almost no people along the way.
"War always hurts the common people, and since the invasion of the Great Wei by the Persian army, I don't know how many families have been left homeless." Han Xuening couldn't help but sigh.
Three days later, the army successfully reached the eastern suburbs of the Great Wei City, and Wei Yunxuan told the army to stop advancing, and if it advanced again, it would be easy to be spotted by the soldiers watching from the eastern city wall.
In front of it was a large forest, and everyone set up tents at the edge of the woods.
It was cold outside, and everyone gathered in their tents to discuss the future.
Hua Zi was the first to complain, "This ghost weather is too cold." Along the way, I was almost frozen. ”
Han Xuening asked Huazi to wear more clothes, don't be reckless, the weather is too cold and it is easy to freeze and get sick.
Wei Yunxuan said to everyone: "Now, we have led an army of five thousand to reach the city gate. Next, everyone has to discuss how to take the Great Wei City. ”
Everyone knows that this time Wei Yunxuan attaches great importance to the capture of Great Wei City.
There are 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers in the city of Great Wei, and they are only 5,000 people, so it is definitely not possible to fight hard.
Mr. Wen was thinking about this question all the way, and if he wanted to take the Great Wei City this time, he had to outwit it.
Mr. Wen drew up a plan, 5,000 soldiers and horses were divided into several waves, set up an ambush outside the city, and when they fought with the enemy troops coming out of the Great Wei City, they would lead the enemy troops into the ambush area.
In this way, we can destroy the enemy troops who went out of the city to meet in one fell swoop, and if we win the first battle, we will strengthen the morale of our army.
The specific details will be discussed with everyone.
Han Xuening proposed to send one or two hundred vanguard soldiers to enter the Great Wei City through the secret passage. These people disrupted the law and order in the Great Wei City and made the Great Wei City chaotic.
On the other hand, if you can form a strong vanguard army of dozens of people, if you can capture the two sons of the Liu family in the Great Wei City, or catch one person. and find a way to arrest the Persian prince. With these key hostages, it is crucial to whether this war can be won or not.
Bai Zijun was a little puzzled and asked, "Miss Xue Ning, what's the use of grabbing those few useless things?" It's better to kill it happily. During this time, I trained the archer army again, so that everyone in the archer army became archers, and each person could kill hundreds of people by firing an arrow. In this way, it will be more convenient to take the Great Wei City. ”
Han Xuening said to him: "Brother Zijun, you don't know much about Great Wei City. The city of Great Wei is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and besides, there is also an army of archers in the city. We are outside the city, they are inside the city, they can gather a large number of archers on the city walls, and they can inflict heavy losses on our army. What I envision is to let the vanguard find a way to capture these important people. Next, another vanguard army wreaks havoc in the city. In this way, the enemy army will be in chaos first, and when the enemy's army is unstable and people's hearts are scattered, we will send a part of the naval army to lure the enemy out of the city gate. Let these enemy forces out of the city enter our encirclement and traps. In this way, the first battle can be a great victory. ”
Mr. Wen felt that what Han Xuening said made sense, with 5,000 soldiers and horses, if he wanted to capture the Great Wei City, which was garrisoned by 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, he must outwit it.
Wei Yunxuan asked Han Xuening and Mr. Wen to draw up a plan as soon as possible, and then everyone went separately according to the designed plan.
Two days later, Han Xuening and Mr. Wen discussed together, and a detailed battle plan came out.
First of all, thirty vanguard troops with strong martial arts were selected and entered the Great Wei City through the secret passage under the leadership of Ma Ma. These thirty vanguard troops will have to go through two weeks of assault training here, and when they are qualified, they can enter the Great Wei City.
On the other hand, the naval troops began to dig in the three directions of the road outside the Great Wei City and outside Zaozhuang, digging out big pits one by one, and putting sharpened branches in the pits, so as to lead the enemy here in the future, and let the enemy fall into the trap, which can greatly damage the enemy army.
After digging, it was covered with straw, and according to Mr. Wen's calculations, there could be a heavy snowfall in two weeks.
Within two weeks, the work on these traps was completed, and when it snowed so much that the snow covered the straw, the enemy could not even tell that the traps had been set up on the road.
Next, in the two woods outside the city near the city gate, traps for tree arrows were also set up.
This kind of tree arrow, just like the rebels and the Persian army that occupied Huajiazhai in the Valley of the Evil Wolf, lured the enemy army over, and the tree arrows in the woods were enough to wipe out more than half of the enemy's troops.
After the traps were arranged, some of them had to open up the road to the mountain to the east of Zaozhuang.
It is best to set up traps and formations in the woods, and if the navy loses, you can enter the woods and escape. After the pursuing enemy troops entered the woods on the mountain, they fell into the designed trap.
There is also a big cave on the mountain over there, and there is a secret passage in the cave, which can directly lead to the four gates of Dawei City. The trolls can also hide in secret passages.
In addition, two teams of archers, led by Bai Zijun and Hanako Sword, can hide in the surrounding villages. The archers changed into peasant clothes in order to confuse the enemy troops.
When the time comes, these armies of archers will be able to deliver a powerful and heavy blow to the enemy forces that have been drawn out.
The plan was all settled, Wei Yunxuan announced it, and everyone began to implement it.
