Sure enough, it came.

After hearing the scout's report, Li Su breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was a very passionate emotion in his chest, and there was a ...... The urge to pack your bags right away.

After the first military report, the frequency of the scouts reporting the military situation increased in vain, countless people rode camels and fast horses galloped out of the city, or returned to the city in the dust, one after another military reports gradually plumped up the originally thin enemy situation, and the outline and appearance of the enemy army outlined the skeleton and flesh and blood under the scouts' report, which was very intuitively presented in front of Li Su.

The coalition army of the Western Regions, numbering about 30,000, is assembled in the country of Qiuzi, and the current 10,000 people are only three days away from Xizhou.

Three days is not much, and it is probably only a few hundred miles away.

30,000 people say a lot...... It is indeed a lot, the population of the Western Regions was originally thin, and the alliance of small countries was 30,000, which is really a rare large-scale effort in recent years, and it shows how inevitable the countries are to Xizhou.

Li Su was in a very heavy mood, there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and it was said that it was 5,000, but in fact, half of them were temporary township warriors, and to put it mildly, it was actually a group of rabble, and there were only more than 2,000 people who really had combat effectiveness.

With more than 2,000 defenders and a fragile wall, it would be a tragic and bloody battle to withstand the enemy's 30,000 soldiers and horses. Li Su suspected that even the enemy's 10,000 forwards could not resist, it was not pessimistic, the cruel facts and status quo really could not give him confidence.

In the handsome tent, Jiang Quan and Xiang Tian sat on the left and right, Cao Yu sat on the side expressionlessly, holding his beard silently, Li Su's expression was condensed, staring at the sheepskin map in front of him, a red line was drawn on the map, and the arrow pointed directly to Xizhou.

For a long time, Jiang Quan couldn't hold back, and his patience was exhausted. got up and hugged his fists and said: "Don't drive, the enemy has arrived, please don't give the order to arrange the city defense and mobilize the troops and horses!" ”

Xiang Tian also got up and clenched his fists.

After the grievances between Li Su and Cao Yu were completely revealed, Xiang Tian naturally returned to his heart, saying that he was the same as Cao Yu. has no second heart for the imperial court, but Xizhou has been too difficult these years, and Xiang Tian was unconsciously affected by Cao Yu, so he gradually became undisciplined in order to defend the city.

Cao Yu still didn't say a word, and sat quietly on the side like an outsider, while Li Su, although he was a subordinate official in front of Cao Yu, sat in the handsome tent seat, and their respective positions in the tent were a little weird. But no one in the tent felt that there was anything wrong, and it was justified.

"Don't drive Li, please give the order." Xiang Tian also clenched his fists and urged.

Li Su ignored him, still staring at the map, and I don't know how long it took, Li Su's eyes moved away from the map and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

There is no solution to this question, to put it simply. It's dead.

Turning his head to look at Cao Yu who was recuperating with his eyes closed, Li Su suddenly grinned: "Cao Thorn History." I give you back the power, how about you still be your thorn in history? ”

The corners of Cao Yu's mouth twitched, and he didn't smile: "Hehe." ”

It's so familiar, hehe, I vaguely remember that I used it before, and the two words are very informative, most of them are swearing......

"Don't drive Lee. Don't push, hurry up and order the layout of the city defense. Cao Yu said slowly.

Li Su was silent for a moment and said: "If I come to arrange the city defense, it is very simple, there are thousands of straw men in the city tower. Thinking that it was a suspicious soldier, it was not easy to raise the flag, the city gate was closed, and all the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city went out of the city......"

When Jiang Quan heard this, his face was already a little gray, Xiang Tian didn't know what was going on, and said excitedly: "Don't drive to ambush the enemy striker outside the city?" ”

Li Su coughed twice, and said without changing his face: "No, five thousand soldiers and horses went out of the city and went to the east of Yumen Pass, to put it simply, ......"

Xiang Tian's face also changed, and he blurted out: "Abandon the city? ”

Li Su nodded: "Yes, abandon the city, the water is impermanent, the army is impermanent, focus on the Tang Dynasty Western Regions War Bureau, don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a corner, just wait for time, Your Majesty will free up your hand from Xue Yantuo, and then send a large army to the west, and the recovery of Xizhou is only between the overturning of my Tang Dynasty's male soldiers." ”

None of the people in the tent spoke, and their faces were a little unsightly.

Li Su sighed and continued to explain: "Abandoning the city is just to avoid its edge, the people of Xizhou have all moved out, after the soldiers and horses left, this city has become an empty city, let the enemy occupy it, what bargain can they get?" It is said that now His Majesty is driving to Xue Yantuo, the army is advancing more and more smoothly, and it will be able to destroy its country within half a year, half a year later, my Tang Dynasty soldiers gathered troops and horses to march westward, at that time the attack and defense have been transposed, the enemy is only 30,000 soldiers and horses, defending such a fragile city, my Tang Dynasty recovering Xizhou, is it not possible to overturn it? Strategically speaking, it is wise to abandon Xizhou for now. ”

The tent was still silent, and Li Su's mood became heavy.

He doesn't understand what kind of values people in this era have, looking at the posture of everyone, it seems that they want to stick to it in Xizhou, these people ...... Isn't it stupid?

"Li Beijia, if you had already planned to abandon the city, why did you keep making military rations, hoarding ordnance, and even making firearms these days, aren't you doing this for the purpose of defending the city?" Xiang Tian asked hesitantly.

Li Su nodded: "It is prepared for defending the city, but there is a premise, that is, the number of enemies and us is not far apart, for example, if the Western Regions countries attack Xizhou only about 10,000 soldiers and horses, I can choose to stay and hold on, I made these preparations are also for these 10,000 soldiers and horses, I calculated, with the current city defense and strength of Xizhou, 10,000 enemy troops are already the upper limit of defending the city, more than 10,000, the city will be broken, and now you have also heard the military report, there are 30,000 enemies who come to attack......"

The corners of Li Su's mouth hooked, and he looked around at everyone leisurely: "Everyone, we only have 5,000 soldiers defending the city, half of them are still rabble, what are the chances of winning against the 30,000 siege soldiers and horses that the enemy has been planning for a long time?" Isn't it stupid to hold on to this city knowing that there is no chance of victory? ”

These words are the truth, from the very beginning, Li Su made a two-handed plan, the enemy came less, he could defend it, so hoarding food and armaments, and making firearms, all of which were prepared to defend the city, but if the enemy came too much, such as the current 30,000 enemy troops, Li Su had no interest or confidence to defend it at all.

Very cruel reality, even if the world's famous general Cheng Biting Jin Li Jing and others, I am afraid that I will not be able to defend this Xizhou City, the war depends on strength after all, there are not so many shortcuts to take, there are not no examples of winning with outnumbered, but very few, generally speaking, the end of outnumbering is doomed.

Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Li Su became a little impatient, and looked around at everyone: "Do you mean to keep it?" ”

Everyone didn't speak, but their expressions were clearly resolute.

Li Su smiled, arched his hand towards the three of them, and said: "Okay, what Li admires most in his life is that you are such iron men, Cao Thorn History, two generals, with thousands of enemies and 30,000, Li asked you, how to guard?" Can it be held? ”

Saying that, Li Su showed an innocent gaze and began to maliciously sell cuteness: "I'm just a child, can you teach me?" (To be continued......)
