Chapter 16 Preparing for War
After a brief look in the city, although there are strong enemies outside the southeast and southeast, the situation in the city is quite normal, which also indirectly proves that He Yun has good governance.
After that, I went to the east gate first, and above the city wall, you can vaguely see the military camp where Mo Xiling is stationed from a distance, and you can also see the traces of the battle under the city, especially on the city wall, you can also vaguely see the residual blood stains and traces of being smashed out of the gap.
At this time, He Yun pointed to the military camp in the distance and explained: "Marshal, that is the camp of the rebel general Mo Xiling, he just arrived outside the city the day before yesterday, and after the preparation, he came to a fierce attack, and there was no action yesterday, I estimate that there will be a new wave of attacks today or tomorrow." ”
Lin Feng nodded and looked at Li Xiaofeng beside him: "Xiaofeng, you are also a person who has been on the battlefield, what do you think of the current situation?" ”
Li Xiaofeng looked into the distance, thought for a moment and then said: "Our army has only arrived today, at least need to rest for a day, in my opinion, it is best to break through one by one, if we wait for the enemy's three teams to come together, our chances of victory will be greatly reduced." In addition, although we are now defending the city, the actual situation is that the other side's baggage troops will arrive and carry out a large-scale siege, and even if we can win, we will suffer heavy losses. So I think it's better to take the initiative! ”
He Yun shook his head again and again on the side: "This little general is easy to say, we only have an army of 14,000 people in the city now, even if we count the militia as only 16,000 people, we still have to guard the two city gates, and we have to take turns to replace them, which means that we have no more than 4,000 troops who take the initiative to attack!" There are 15,000 people on the other side, and it is the next step to take the initiative to attack! ”
Seeing that Li Xiaofeng on the side was about to open his mouth to argue, Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop him, and then said to the two: "Inform me, gather all the generals and go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters!" You don't have to look at the South Gate! ”
The two looked at each other, nodded in unison, and said, "Yes!" ”
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, after waiting in He Yun's military council hall, all the generals arrived one after another. Lin Feng looked at everyone, coughed twice before walking to the sand table, then picked up Niu Gui's flag and put it aside, and then pointed to Mo Xiling's military camp outside the east gate and said, "In the early hours of tonight, three thousand troops will be sent to rob the camp, which general is willing to take the order?" ”
After hearing this, everyone was puzzled, and He Yun persuaded on the side: "Marshal, don't do it... ”
Lin Feng turned his head to look at him, frowned and said, "I'm giving an order, not discussing countermeasures, you haven't retreated from the enemy for so long, what does it mean?" Explain that your method is not right! Then he turned to the crowd and asked, "Is there anyone who is willing to receive the command?" ”
The surrounding generals still looked at each other, and just as Lin Feng was about to order the generals, a young general from Tongzhou stood up: "The young general Huang Da is willing to go, and the marshal only needs to give me two thousand elite cavalry!" ”
Lin Feng turned his head to look at the general, who was probably less than thirty years old, nodded and replied, "Huang Da, okay!" You can choose the soldiers and horses in the city! Go now, eat, drink, rest, and listen to my orders in the early morning! ”
After Huang Da received the order, Lin Feng looked at He Yun and said with a smile: "General He, since you are afraid, then you will guard the city gate for me!" Then he looked at Pan Zhigang and ordered: "Pan Zhigang listened to the order, immediately returned to the camp, ready to fight at any time, if you find that Gongsun Qing has any siege or other actions, give me a bite on his back, no matter how many enemies are killed, but you must bite Gongsun Qing's back to death!" ”
Pan Zhigang clenched his fists and replied: "The last general will take orders!" Then he went out with the people.
Lin Feng looked at Mao Hao on the side and smiled meaningfully: "Xiao Hao, you can prepare when you go back, and bring people into the city in the early morning." Then Lin Feng turned his head to look at He Yun, who had a somewhat bad face on the side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "General He, you take your people, cheer up, as long as Tongzhou is not broken in between, I will remember you a great achievement!" ”
He Yun was stunned after hearing this, and then commanded: "Yes, marshal!" ”
Lin Feng took a closer look at the terrain of the sand table again, stretched his waist and waved his hand: "Okay, let's disperse!" "I'm going to go outside. He Yun on the side hurriedly said, "Marshal, the banquet has been prepared... ”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng waved his hand: "No need, I'd better go back to the camp first to see the situation, wait to repel the enemy army, it's not too late for the marshal to invite General He to a banquet!" After finishing speaking, he took Mao Hao and the others away.
After Lin Feng and the others left, He Yun looked at their backs and said to the people beside him: "Sure enough, the rumors are good, this Zhongwu Marquis is really a living bandit, and he has only been here for a while, and he has overturned all of our battle plans and reformulated a set, and he is still arbitrary, and he is indeed a living bandit... ”
In the tent of Mo Xiling's camp outside the east city, Mo Xiling, who was sitting at the table, was reading the book of soldiers, when a soldier ran in outside the tent, saluted and said: "General, the other party's commander has arrived in Tongzhou, and the army brought by him is stationed in the south of the city. ”
After listening to this, Mo Xiling waved his hand lightly at the man, and after the man went out, Mo Xiling looked at the military advisor on the side and smiled: "Military advisor, what do you think that bullshit counterinsurgency generalissimo is trying to do?" ”
The military advisor next to him stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said leisurely: "This other party wants to open the battle line and crush us with a war of attrition, they have a steady supply of grain and grass soldiers in the rear, and our grain and grass is the biggest problem!" ”
Mo Xiling hurriedly asked again: "Then look at the military division?" What are we going to do? ”
"Hehe, easy!" The military advisor replied with confidence: "Today, the general sent an envoy to make an agreement with Gongsun Qing in the south of the city that we will start storming the city early tomorrow morning, and we have three times the strength of the other party, can't we still capture a small Tongzhou?" ”
After hearing this, Mo Xiling raised his head and laughed: "The military advisor is a good plan!" I'll send someone to send a letter and make an appointment with Gongsun Qing! Someone... ”
When Lin Feng returned to the barracks, he had basically finished camping, and when he arrived at the big tent, he gathered all the people, and then said to Pan Zhigang first: "Pan Zhigang obeys orders, starting from the third watch tomorrow, you will continue to send cavalry to harass Gongsun Qing's army, but remember not to attack, just harass!" Plus, I'll give you another thousand cavalry! ”
"Yes, Marshal! The last general commands! Pan Zhigang responded on the side.
Then Lin Feng arrived at the temporary sand table, pointed to a hillside in the southeast, and said to Mao Hao: "Xiao Hao, the weather has been bad recently, the temperature difference is large, and the fog has been thick in recent days, tomorrow after Huang Da is defeated, you will lead three thousand people to rob the camp again, regardless of success or failure, you will retreat in a circle, and it should be foggy at that time, when you lead people to retreat, you will turn around and go to this hillside to station!" Tomorrow, I will personally lead people to battle, and use me as bait to lure Mo Xiling here. But you have to remember that as long as I don't raise my handsome flag, you can't show up! ”
Mao Hao nodded on the side, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!" ”
Li Xiaofeng asked anxiously on the side: "Brother-in-law, what about me?" ”
Lin Feng glanced at him, and then said to him, "You just follow me!" Then he waved his hand to everyone: "Okay, okay, hurry up and eat and rest, there is something to do in the early morning!" ”
