Chapter 238: Advance is Retreat

Lan Ziyi looked back, it turned out to be Qiu Xiao's direct speech,

Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo, father and son, walked out of the courtyard with two ketone armors, although it was only thin armor, but the father and son were still very unaccustomed to wearing them, and even walking looked awkward, to say that Lan Ziyi himself was a scholar, and it was the first time when he put on the armor, and it was also Mingguang heavy armor, but Lan Ziyi did not have any discomfort, but he walked a little harder, and he didn't feel anything in armor for a few days.

Lan Ziyi still felt a little strange, but the current situation did not have time for Lan Ziyi to think about these idle things.

Qiu Xiao walked up to a few people and said:

"We can't get out of town right now."

Li Guangzhong was puzzled when he heard this, and asked:

"Just now, Mr. Xiaozhi and Wei Hou asked me to mobilize people, and now that we have all the men and horses, and the thieves who besieged us have also been repulsed, why are we not allowed to leave the city?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"Just now, the soldiers went out of the city overnight to avoid the possible attack of the bandits, because the sudden attack of the thieves will hit the morale and morale of our army.

Now that the thieves have been dispatched, we have already stood firm without being defeated by the thieves, and there is no situation where we are suddenly attacked by the thieves and collapsed, but if we go out of the city now, the team of tens of thousands of people has a front and a back, once we walk away, no one wants to be left behind and beaten, everyone wants to get out of the city quickly, how can such a team be maintained? Thieves are lying in ambush all over the city, and we don't know when or where we will be attacked by them.

Today's thieves are in the dark, I am in the light, once the team is opened, it will inevitably shake the heart of the army, and deal with the tiger lying on the post with the shaky army, which is self-defeating, and the art of war has a cloud 'a husband hiding in the field, then a thousand troops are in a state of arms', and now they can't go! “

Qiu Xiaozhi's words were well-founded and clear, and Lan Ziyi couldn't stop nodding after hearing these words,

But Tao Zhuhu still asked:

"Mr. Xiaozhi has no last resort, and this analysis is also very reasonable.

But since the thieves are in the dark, we are in the dark, and we are in danger if we stay in the city for a while, and there is a possibility of collapse when we go out of the city, and it is unknown how long we can hold out under the repeated attacks of the thieves without leaving the city. “

Qiu Wenruo replied after hearing Tao Zhuhu's question:

"When the thieves attacked the possession of the sky just now, they didn't take the opportunity to defeat us in one go, but they fled first after the defeat, which shows that there are not many thieves.

The thieves have not been in the city for a long time, and it is impossible to hollow out the underground and hide in the army, so the thieves in the city can only be a limited number of people, if I have not guessed wrong, these people are ambushes arranged in response to Lei Youde's possible counterattack, and now the attack should be a last resort so-called ......"

Qiu Wenruo said this, and Tao Zhuhu interjected:

"Yes, the thief was discovered by me, and he couldn't extinguish my eloquence and blow the horn."

Qiu Wenruo nodded and continued:

"In this case, the only places in the city that can hide thieves are the cellars and dark rooms that existed in the city before, and there are not many of these places, and there are not too many thieves who can hide in the city, even if there are a lot of thieves, we can deal with them.

My father has just said that what we want to avoid when we go out of the city is the sudden attack of the bandits, and now that we have taken the surprise attack of the bandits, then the chaos that may be caused by the sudden attack of the bandits will be completely threatened to our army, and the bandits are scattered in the city, and the number of them is small, and at this time, our army, which has been reorganized, has the advantage.

It is more beneficial for our army to hold on to the city now, at least staying in the city for now can stabilize the morale of the army. “

Everyone nodded silently when they heard this, and Li Guangzhong also nodded in unity after hearing this, but he still had some questions,

Li Guangzhong asked:

"What Mr. Wen Ruo said is very true, but just now Mr. Wen Ruo also said that the thieves in the city were ambushed in order to meet the army of Lei Youde outside the city, although there are few thieves in the city, but there are many demon thieves in Lei Youde outside the city, and now the thieves in the city have begun to attack the city, if Lei Youde joins the offensive outside the city, our army will continue to stick to the city is a cocoon and self-restraint, and when Lei Youde's main force arrives, our army can't run if they want to."

Li Guangzhong's words reached the point, and everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Qiu Xiao nodded and said:

"General Lee's concern is very justified,

There are many thieves, and the siege must be huge, and we have not found any signs of thieves attacking the city, at least not yet, so we must deal with the problem at hand first.

Our army has more than 30,000 people, and after entering the city, it is basically divided into three battalions and stationed, one battalion is now our people, stationed in the southwest of the government; The first battalion was a person who was separated from Qi Rongxun's camp, and walked further northeast of the mansion; There is also a battalion of Lei Youde's men, which is inside the water gate in the northeast of the city.

Now it can be determined that our people have stood firm, Qi Rongxun is also a good hand in leading the troops, and there will be no problems in his camp, and now the difficulty is the remaining part of the official army, there is no master general in these official camps, and they may not obey the orders of the marquis to pack up and go out of the city, and now they are besieged by thieves, and there are many auspicious ones, even in order to meet these brothers, we should support it. “

At this time, Lan Ziyi opened his mouth and said:

"Of course we will not give up our brothers in the city, we have few soldiers and many thieves, and if we can have one more brother, we will have a better chance of winning.

But there is also an unbearable danger in holding on, and it would be better if the two options of going out of the city and holding on to it could be combined, two gentlemen, what are the opinions of the generals? “

Of course, the combination of the two plans can avoid the possible risks of the two plans, but the problem is that going out of the city and sticking to it are two contradictory things.

So as soon as Lan Ziyi's words came out, everyone only had to ponder.

Time is running out, Lan Ziyi doesn't have time to think more about it, and under Lan Ziyi's repeated urging, Qiu Wenruo finally spoke:

"It's better to guard the marquis like this, we don't walk from the street, but walk between the houses, the front and back of the large army are arranged to climb the roof as an outpost, once the situation is not right, you can garrison the local area, go to the house to fight, and the guard can lead the team to support the defenders in other places,

Although this is a little slower, the victory is to advance and retreat, and the other armies in the city can also rely on it, what does Wei Hou think? “

After Qiu Wenruo finished speaking, Tao Zhuhu asked:

"Our army has a lot of baggage, and the people in Shouchun City are not familiar with the place, so the speed of walking in the small alley is not a little slower, but a lot slower, what if Lei Youde's army attacks the city at this time?"

Qiu Wenruo says:

"Lei Youde's main force is to go from the water, and the fastest siege is also from the water.

Now there is no sign of the siege of the thief army around Shouchun, so even if Lei Youde attacks the city, he will first send a naval army from the waterway, and there is a garrison of Qi Rongxun there to delay the attack of the thieves.

There's no better way, at least I can't think of it. “

Saying that, Qiu Wenruo looked at his father,

Qiu Xiaozhi also looked back at his son and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi glanced at the others, and Tao Zhuhu and Li Guangzhong no longer had any opinions, so Lan Ziyi said:

"So do it, and immediately arrange for someone to bring the ladder and planks to the room, so that the brothers can all move."

At this time, Li Guangzhong asked:

"But Wei Hou, in which direction shall we retreat?"

At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"To the west, our army is not far from the south of the west street, and the street can block the thieves in the north of the city for us, and if the thieves attack from the north, it will be a good target for us on the wide street.

Going west allows us to be less attacked by one side. “

Li Guangzhong heard the words and said:

"No, half of the horses in our Tiger Camp are tied to the streets, and if you want to use the street as a barrier, you will accidentally injure the horses."

Lan Ziyi was very surprised when he heard this, and asked:

"Isn't the Jihu Battalion stationed here?"

李广忠 says:

"The Jihu Battalion is not here, there is no place to raise horses here, so half of the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion are stationed in the government office, where there are stables, and the other half is on the south side of West Street, where horses can be tied to the street."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi gritted his teeth and said:

"Now there are thieves and robbers in the city, and our army is divided into three regiments to fight separately, and the only thing I can count on now to turn the tide is the Jihu Battalion, but now I know that the Jihu Battalion is not in the station!"

Saying that, Lan Ziyi asked the soldiers to lead the horses, looking at the others who were still stunned and indifferent, Lan Ziyi's anger could no longer be held back, and shouted to everyone:

"What are you waiting for? Don't get moving yet! ”

Then Lan Ziyi instructed the father and son of the enemy family:

"The two of you will first organize a large group of men and horses to go west from the houses, and remember to arrange people on the roofs to observe the other directions in the city, especially the people who will receive me and me and come down."

This is the first time that the father and son of the Qiu family have been yelled at by Lan Ziyi, although they are somewhat annoyed, they dare not slack off, and they nodded and quickly commanded the surrounding sergeants to pull out the camp.

Lan Ziyi said to Tao Zhuhu:

"You take those dozen or so riders to detour to the front first, find a favorable terrain and wait, I'll be there later."

Tao Zhuhu grew up with Lan Ziyi since he was a child, and he always felt that Lan Ziyi was weak, and after entering Beijing together, he found that Lan Ziyi's anger was not small, and there was quite a bit of Lan Qianzhen's style in the army, and now Lan Ziyi was obviously angry, where did Tao Zhuhu dare to slack off, and he turned around and squeezed out to find the cavalry he had just now.

At this time, Lan Ziyi's horse had been brought in, and Lan Ziyi said to Li Guangzhong after getting on the horse:

"A few hundred people are enough, but the important thing is to be fast, all on the roof, and move closer to the place where the horses are grazing to the north.

Just now I saw on the roof of the house that the north side attacked the least number of thieves, as long as the thieves in the north city haven't crossed the street to fight, we will have a chance to take in the Jihu camp! “

Li Guangzhong has the most distant relationship with Lan Ziyi, and today he was knocked on the mountain by Lan Ziyi, and when he heard the order, he only dared to take orders to do it, where did he dare to think about other things.

After the order was completed, Lan Ziyi urged the horse to rush along the track of Tao Zhuhu just now, and in the crowded alley, Lan Ziyi finally found Tao Zhuhu and his dozen horses,

After joining up with Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhuhu hurriedly ordered his soldiers to advance north along the street.

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Except for the Jihu Battalion stationed along the street, what are the arrangements for the rest of the soldiers in the palace? Is it also divided into several pieces? ”

Tao Zhuhu replied:

"Although the stables of the government are small, they can completely put down the horses in a circle around the walls of the government office, and the soldiers there are stationed in the government office."

Lan Ziyi immediately said to an entourage soldier next to him:

"You immediately go to the government office to inform the half of the Jihu battalion to go west to join me, they are all stationed in the yamen, no more than those scattered stragglers, they must have gathered at this time when they hear the movement, go and inform them!"

The sergeant was ordered to sing, and hurriedly urged the horse to go to the palace.
