Feng Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong, and Cui Xiyi were directly stunned when they looked at this map.

Ren is that they are brilliant and good at military affairs, and they can't see through Pei Min's intentions at this moment.

Located twenty miles west of Broken Leaf City, the Broken Leaf River Pass is bordered by the Kadan Mountains in the north and the Broken Leaf Water in the south, making it the shortcut and fastest way out of the road to Turgish.

They sent Shattered Leaf City to recapture the fortress occupied by the Turgish, so it was only natural that they would camp under Broken Leaf City and prepare for the siege.

What is the point of camping in the mouth of the broken leaf from afar?

"Yes!" Feng Changqing instinctively chose to believe it and promised to come down.

Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi looked at each other for a while, and then took the order.

Three will go far away.

Zhang Xiaosong said: "Attack the heart for the top, attack the city for the bottom!" The art of war is true, but it is even more said that the city will be attacked in battle. On the march, siege is essential. This is guarding the mouth of the Broken Leaf River, and Tuqi Shi can still be obediently sent to the door? ”

Cui Xiyi also said: "Moreover, I think that the turquoise cavalry is not good at defense, and this plain assault is their strong point." Even if they really give up Shattered Leaf City to fight our army in the field. Even if we are able to win, we will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. It is better to come to the city of broken leaves, and with the help of the wood of Kadan Mountain, cut down wood to make siege equipment. We are good at attacking fortifications, and they are not good at defense, and it will not take more than 20 days to blast open a corner of the city gate and capture Broken Leaf City. ”

Feng Changqing stroked the little beard lightly and said, "If I were to come, I would fight like this." But have the two of you thought about it, we attack the city like this, even if we take Broken Leaf City, Tuqi Shi can escape from other gates, and Pei Shuai's purpose is very different. ”

"Gongcheng is tired, and it is difficult for us to launch an effective pursuit. Even if all the follow-up troops are in place, our forces will not be more than marginally superior. How can you besiege the thieves in the city without being several times more enemies? “”

"What's more......" Feng Changqing said here, paused and said: "Broken Leaf City is a walled city built and operated by our dynasty, and the people in the city are all our dynasty, and we are forced too much, causing the other party's dog to jump over the wall in a hurry, which is also our loss." ”

Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi were also silent when they heard it.

Feng Changqing said with a smile: "You don't know Pei Shuai thoroughly, Pei Shuai has never been a person who looks ahead and backwards, and when it is time to attack the city, he will never be ambiguous." Now that he is guarding the Broken Leaf Kawaguchi, it can only mean one thing, he is already sure of winning. We just have to wait and see what happens. ”

Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi couldn't guess it, but seeing Feng Changqing's appearance like this, thinking about the strength shown by Pei Min, they could only choose to wait and see what happened.

Pei Min sent Feng Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong, and Cui Xiyi away, and said to Sun Zhou beside him: "Have you already been in contact with Zhanru?" ”

Sun Zhou bowed his head and said, "I got in touch, he mixed into Broken Leaf City." The situation in the city was relatively good, the people were not persecuted unsuperneously, and Sulu restricted the raiding of his soldiers. Sulu was full of prestige, and no flagrant violations were found. But secretly, there was still some minor unrest. ”

Pei Min said quietly: "Just let him stay in the city, and arrange some people to go in." Focus on investigating the situation between the Black and Yellow Divisions of the Turk Cavalry, and report to me as soon as there is any new information. And if the horses of the Turgish depart, let him summon me as well. ”

Sun Zhou agreed without hesitation.

Pei Min looked at the east gate, in the direction of Broken Leaf City, with a faint smile.

Over the years, he has continued to study the art of war of Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian, and his understanding of military affairs has become more and more thorough.

I understand the crucial point of using soldiers, winning in a disadvantageous situation is powerful, not easy, but it is not a skill.

Winning in the event of a draw is a bit of a skill.

Being able to win when you have an advantage is the real thing.

**********

Shattered Leaf City!

Sulu Zhuo stood at the head of the city, his brows were locked, and he looked in the direction of the western Broken Leaf Kawaguchi, completely unable to understand what Pei Min was thinking.

This eastward invasion is off to a good start, and everything goes well.

But since the moment the Liangzhou army stepped into Anxi, the whole situation has changed.

Little by little, it is not controlled, and the advantage is leveled little by little.

So much so that now it is in a dilemma.

Sulu's original intention was to withdraw to Broken Leaf City and recuperate. Waiting for Pei Min to attack, he took the initiative to attack on the way, recuperated his soldiers, took advantage of the night to attack the tired journey from afar, and used their iron spear horses to win and win the victorious generals of the Tang Dynasty.

But he didn't want the Tang army to come all the way, and the places he chose to camp were all Jedi for defense, leaving no chance at all.

I could only watch them approach Shattered Leaf City little by little.

The biggest gain of this attack is Broken Leaf City, if Broken Leaf City can't hold it, he, the Khan of Turgish, will face a terrible crisis of prestige in Turgish.

All these years of hard work have come to naught.

"No matter what, you have to defend Shattered Leaf City!"

Sulu clenched his fists and kept tapping on the city walls, as if to foreshadow his determination.

"Khan!" Chang Bai strode closer, "It has been cleared that the grain in the city is enough for our army for a month and a half." If the surplus grain of the rich people in the city is collected at this moment and distributed uniformly, it will be maintained for a year and a half, and there will be no problem. ”

Su Lu listened to the peace in his heart, and sneered: "Broken Leaf City is really a fortress, with enough food and grass, and sufficient water, let's stay in this city for half a year to see who can consume whom." ”

Chang Bai said: "But Pei Min doesn't seem to have the idea of attacking the city at all, so much so that he seems to be blocking our retreat." ”

Sulu's uneasiness also arose from this, but in front of his subordinates, he looked extremely confident, and said with a smile: "He is pretending, knowing that he can't attack Broken Leaf City for a while, he deliberately wants to lure us to take the initiative." If the king of Ben Khan does not fall for this, I will not believe it, and I will guard this city, and he will not come. Can I still be automatically delivered to my door? ”

Time passes day by day in the confrontation!

Sulu didn't come out, and Pei Min didn't attack.

The two looked at each other affectionately at a distance of twenty miles every day.

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, compared to the turkey soldiers in the city.

The Tang army, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, was obviously even more frozen.

Fortunately, the Tang army was well-equipped and had plenty of clothing to avoid the cold, but it didn't have much impact.

While waiting, soldiers from many surrounding countries gathered in groups towards the Broken Leaf Kawaguchi.

There were more than 9,000 soldiers and horses from Yanqi, Shule, and Khotan......

The countries of the Western Regions such as Kangguo, Anguo, Cao, Shiguo, and Huoxun of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu also gave financial and material support.

This time into Anxi, Pei Min mobilized 70,000 Liangzhou soldiers, 40,000 Longyou Army, plus the support of the four ancient countries of Anxi, the support of the nine surnamed countries of Zhaowu, and the stragglers of the four towns of Anxi, the strength of the army suddenly reached 1440,000.

Pei Min looked around at the vast military might of the military camp, and said with a smile: "I have fought a lot of battles, but this is the first time that I control an army of 140,000 people." Looking at the world, only Da Shiguo and my Datang have this confidence. ”

The generals on the left and right looked at each other without saying a word.

With such a large army, why not attack the city, but waste food and grass?

What's the point???
