There are many ways to siege a city, especially for cities with dilapidated walls, such as Anling City.

But at this time, Tang Yuan and the others were stationed in this small city, facing a strong enemy, and if they wanted to defend the city, they would simply bring about their own destruction.

For this, everyone is at a loss.

At this time, a captain standing in the back row of the Shence Army suddenly raised his hand and asked to speak, Zhang Zhikui raised his eyes and looked at the man, it was a young man, he looked good, he waved his hand, indicating that he could speak.

Tang Yuan walked out of the crowd and saluted: "Tang Yuan, the commander of the second regiment directly under the last general Tang Qi's division, has a small suggestion, we might as well use Anling as bait to trick the enemy into the city, and then counterattack and surround Anling and hit it with fire." In addition, the last general is developing catapults in the army, which has been very effective now, and if you can introduce the enemy into Anling, you can come to an urn to catch turtles. ”

Ju Fan said: "You introduce them into the city, and when they find out that this is an empty city, they will inevitably rush out, and when the time comes, what is the difference between fighting with us on the plain?" ”

Zhang Zhikui waved his hand, signaling Ju Fan not to interrupt Tang Yuan's words, and he said, "Tang Yuan, keep talking." ”

Tang Yuan pointed to the sand table and said, "Anling is located on the plain, and there are no barriers around it, but this is not a reason why our infantry is completely helpless against the enemy cavalry.

We can set up a camp and cover it with thistles, and they will never force themselves into the camp. It can only attack Anling.

The cavalry is strong because of its mobility and impact power, but as long as they are trapped in the city, they cannot take advantage of the cavalry.

Anling City is small, as long as we place archers in all directions, even if we can't wipe out Pucha Sujia in the city, we can shoot him at least three people.

If they abandon their horses and climb into cover to fight us, they will have little advantage.

If they don't climb the wall, but leave the city en masse, then they will be in chaos, and we will block the city gate and kill him with a dense bow and arrow, and if he rushes out of the city gate, our infantry will set up a hedgehog formation around the drawbridge, and even if Pucha Sujia does not die, he will also peel off a layer of skin. ”

Everyone was silent, and Zhang Zhikui asked: "I have heard the name of Pucha Sujia for a long time, this person is different from the ordinary male Jia Meng, and he is quite scheming, if he refuses to enter the city, then what should we do?" ”

Tang Yuan said: "Consumed." ”

"We don't have a lot of food at the moment," Zhang Zhikui thought for a while, "If the garrison is outside the city, food can be delivered, but the soldiers who are ambushed in the city can't help." ”

Tang Yuan said: "The last general is willing to lead the troops to ambush here." ”

"There is no joke in the army!" Zhang Zhikui is colorful.

"May there be a military order!" Tang Yuan said.

"Good! That's how to do it. Zhang Zhikui patted the case.

"Zhang Shuai, the last general feels that something is slightly inappropriate." Han Dangdao.

"Speak." Zhang Zhikui said.

Han Dang said: "Fighting like this is risky. Not to mention whether Pucha Sujia will enter the city with the whole army, even if a large village is set up, it may not be able to stop Pucha Sujia. If the other party uses fire to burn down the camp, should we consume it in the open air? ”

Zhang Zhikui said: "What General Han said is reasonable, but how can there be a war that is not risky? You and I have been fighting horses for half our lives, and we are used to seeing victory and defeat. Even if you are sure of fighting, there will be times when you lose, and right now, we have six layers of certainty, and I think it is enough to try. Otherwise, we will retreat without a fight, which is not in line with Marshal Huo Zizhen's combat thinking, and will also damage the prestige of our Liang army, make my colleagues laugh, and when we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future, this will also be a big failure. You know, there is no shame in defeat. As long as it can effectively consume the enemy's military strength, it can be regarded as a success. ”

When the three troops are controlled by a commander, they are particularly combative.

Although the decisions of the big marshal are not necessarily all right.

The enemy general Pu Cha Sujia is really not an ordinary character, seeing that the enemy vanguard Xiao Fei retreated as soon as he hit, and retreated three times in a row, he felt that there was a problem here.

Later, when he saw Xiao Fei retreating into the city, but he didn't put away the drawbridge, he felt that this was a plan, so he held down the war horse and didn't move.

"Surround the general's mausoleum, surround but not fight."

——

Pucha Sujia has been besieging Anling for three days, and there are four city gates, each of which is guarded by 2,500 elite cavalry, so it depends on whether your Liang army can get out.

At the same time, he also transferred infantry from Cangzhou and was rushing to Anling, hearing the news, Zhang Zhikui couldn't sit still.

Calculate the strength, after the battle of Wuqiao, the battle of Anling, and the battle of Qixian, he now has 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry under his command, Xiao Fei led 3,000 cavalry to enter Anling City from the east gate, and then ran out from the west gate, and Tang Qi's 3,000 people in the city, with bows and arrows in their hands, were ready to fight an ambush, but the problem was that Pucha Sujia did not go in.

How good is that?

"It's really not good, just according to Zhang Shuai's arrangement before the war, let's go to fight Ximen, and then Tang Qi will understand what we mean and start to break out." Xiao Fei said.

Zhang Zhikui's face sank like water and was silent.

Ju Fan said: "If that's the case, isn't it just in the arms of Pucha Sujia?" Maybe he's waiting for us to get into the trap. ”

"What then?" Xiao Fei was anxious: "You can't watch Tang Qi and the three thousand of them trapped inside, right?" ”

"Of course not." Han Dang said: "If that's the case, what kind of face will I have to be an officer in the future." ”

In fact, at this time, a subtle emotion rippled in the hearts of the four people.

Zhang Zhikui is from the Meng family, Xiao Fei, Ju Fan, and Han Dang are from the Sima family, and Tang Qi is from the Tang family, and those who are trapped at this time are also the newly famous Bai Ke, if this army is eliminated, in fact, everyone will not be criticized on the side of the gate valve.

But the problem is that if you do that, the harm to yourself is obvious, and if there is a big war in the future, you will never be appointed to an important position in the crusading army again. The stain on the military career is notorious in military circles and is a big disappointment.

At this time, the four of them were thinking about their own reputation, not the interests of the gate valve.

Zhang Zhikui thought about it again and again, gritted his teeth and said: "Wait another day, if Pucha Sujia doesn't enter the city, we can only fight once, and it's best to rescue Tang Qi at that time, if you can't save it......"

Before Zhang Zhikui could finish speaking, Xiao Fei said, "We have done our best." ”

——

Another day passed, and Pucha Sujia really didn't enter the city.

The fourth general of the male Jia is indeed worthy of his name.

At this time, the troops carrying grain came, and they also brought more than 3,000 recruits, and according to the general of the recruit battalion, the rear knew that Texas was fighting hard, and many new recruits would be sent one after another, and it was estimated that there would be no less than 5,000.

At this time, Zhang Zhikui didn't worry about food or equipment, but what about those guys in the city?

"Zhang Shuai, when are we going to do it?" Xiao Fei asked.

"Evening." Zhang Zhikui pursed his lips, he looked a little hesitant.

At this time, one of Han Dang's scouts ran in and whispered a few words to Han Dang, Han Dang was stunned, and hurriedly ran to the military tent and said: "Report to Zhang Shuai, shoot arrows in the city and send a letter, saying that the city can hold out for another half a month." ”

"Half a month?" Zhang Zhikui was puzzled: "What do they eat?" ”。

"It wasn't said in the letter."

Zhang Zhikui smiled suspiciously, "Since this is the case, then what else is there to say, then continue to consume with Pucha Sujia to see who has more food and more reinforcements." ”
