The idea of this general is good, the soldiers of the department attack from behind, as long as they can entangle the shield soldiers of the official army for a period of time, even if they can only entangle for half an hour, it will be of great benefit to the soldiers of the Qiangqu department. Break through the shield soldiers in front of the officers and soldiers, and the cavalry of the officers and soldiers behind will not be able to block the impact of the officers and soldiers.

This strategy is good, but all the soldiers under his command are surrounded by Zhao Yi in the city, how can the soldiers get out? When the general heard Qiangqu's question, he smiled: "Chief, Guangning City is more than ten miles away, how can the officers and troops of Zhao Yi's department be comprehensive. In the middle of the night, our army absconded from the city wall, and with the firelight as a signal, the two soldiers attacked back and forth, and they would definitely be able to break the encirclement of the officers and troops in one fell swoop. ”

Qiang Qu heard the words of this general, walked back and forth in the hall, and agreed to the general's action: "We will act tonight." ”

The Hun soldiers lay on the ground on the city wall, staring vacantly at the dancing flames on the torches. The previous shortage of grain and grass, coupled with the failure of the breakthrough just now, caused the morale of the soldiers of the Xiongnu to be depressed to a certain point. These soldiers have followed the Qiangqu to fight in the south and the north for many years, and they can be regarded as having experienced wind and rain, crawling on the edge of life and death for many years, and have won and failed. At that time, even if they failed, these soldiers were able to maintain their fighting spirits high, but this time they encountered a setback and became decadent. Let Qiang Qu sigh with emotion, and said that Zhao Yi really grasped everyone's weaknesses, although the reason why the army was not in turmoil when his department failed at that time, was because the soldiers of the department had hope in their hearts, and they could make a comeback if they failed, but this time Zhao Yi deprived the soldiers of hope and forced these Hun soldiers into a desperate situation.

Qiangqu used the desperate situation with simple words to arouse the survival of the Hun soldiers, originally thought that with his own 50,000 outlaws can break through the obstruction of the official army, and it is even possible to use that sharp spirit to destroy Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers, but I didn't expect Zhao Yi to have this action, killing nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Qiangqu department, the loss of this manpower is nothing to the Hun army, this soldier can not shake the foundation of the Hun soldiers, but this incident greatly dampened the morale of the soldiers, This damaged morale is not something that can be measured in human lives.

Seeing the situation of the soldiers of the department, Qiang Qu sighed in his heart, and regretted his decision for the first time, if it was not for his own order to attack the county seat of Guangning, how could the soldiers of the department fall to such a situation.

Seeing the leader Qiangqu coming, the Hun soldiers who were squatting on the ground immediately stood up and cheered down to say hello.

Qiangqu walked to the edge of the city wall, and looked at the official camp under the city, the little torch illuminated a radius of more than ten zhang as bright as day, Qiangqu frowned slightly and asked the soldiers guarding the city wall: "What is the movement of the officers and soldiers of Zhao Yi's department?" ”

"Tell the leader, there is no movement in the city gate guarded by Zhao Yi's officers and troops and Tai Shici and others." The soldier bowed and said.

It seems that Zhao Yi did not attack the county seat of Guangning, yes, his own department has no food and grass, Zhao Yi does not need to spend troops to attack the county seat, only need to surround the county seat for a few months, even if Zhao Yi does not attack the county seat of Guangning, his soldiers will starve to death.

Zhao Yi is so vicious! Qiang Qu's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he clenched his fists and slammed the city wall hard. Originally, he thought that this wall of about three feet high was his strong fortification, but now it seems that this tall and strong wall is like the wall of a prison cell, and his 50,000 soldiers have been locked up alive.

Sensing Zhao Yi's intentions, Qiangqu strengthened his determination to break through the encirclement of the official army, he had no foreign aid, and whether he could break through the blockade of the official army completely depended on himself. Qiangqu stood at the city gate and watched carefully, the patrol soldiers of the official army department held torches, like two fire dragons shuttling back and forth in Guangning County, every half an hour, the patrol soldiers were replaced, and the patrol did not stop when it was replaced, it was completely seamless, which made Qiangqu quite a headache, Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers were so cautious, and the possibility of their soldiers escaping was very small.

"Chief, the interval is too short, and it will take a long time for our soldiers to pass through in a large group." The general raised a very serious question.

Qiangqu also calculated that if you want to break through the shield array of the officers and soldiers, it will take two thousand soldiers to sneak attack, but seeing the closeness of the patrols of the officers and soldiers, I am afraid that two or three soldiers will be discovered by the patrol soldiers. It would take a few days for 2,000 soldiers to succeed. This is too much time for the soldiers of the Qiangqu Division.

"Yes, not to mention that it takes too long, even if the soldiers go down to dodge, it will be a problem." Qiangqu sighed, Guangning County, as a county near the border, implements the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and there is no shelter in the five miles in front of Guangning County, so that the Hun soldiers can't find a place to hide.

"Furthermore, we have overlooked a crucial problem, even though our soldiers can pass through the city walls, but the horses have no arms, and they cannot hold on to the thin ropes at all." In addition to the question just mentioned, Qiangqu also said a crucial issue.

His soldiers are excellent in horsemanship, if they abandon their horses and fight to the death on foot with the officers and soldiers, they will lose their greatest support, and they will be discovered by the officers and cavalry, and they only need two blows back and forth, and the soldiers who have hidden in the past will fall under the enemy's sabers.

"And after today's battle, I found that the combat power and horsemanship of Zhao Yi's cavalry are almost the same as those of our soldiers, if the soldiers have no war horses, how can they fight against such elite cavalry." Qiang Qu sighed and said, Zhao Yi had surprised him too much. Now Qiang Qu knows that the reason why Zhao Yi was able to defeat the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Black Mountain Army that shocked the world was not accidental, he was indeed a strong and difficult opponent.

If he hadn't believed too much in the strength of his soldiers, he might not have fallen to such a point. At this time, the Xiongnu soldiers were in a dilemma, which made Qiangqu quite depressed.

Just as Qiang Qu was about to turn around and return to the hall to discuss how to act with the generals of his department, he heard a "squeak" sound coming from his feet, and looked down to see that it was a gray mouse.

The Hun soldier standing next to him did not wait for Qiangqu's order, and immediately pulled out his scimitar and cut the mouse into two pieces, neatly peeled and inserted it into the tip of the knife and roasted it on the torch.

Staring at the rats roasting on the torches, Qiang Qu's eyes lit up, and then he laughed: "Heaven will not kill me!" ”

When the generals and their soldiers saw Qiang Qu's confident words, their hearts were filled with hope again, could it be that Qiang Qu had a way to escape?

Qiang Qu laughed and walked down the city wall, waved his hand to the generals who followed him, and whispered a few words in the ear of this general.

The general's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face: "The leader's plan is very clever. This is what I will do! After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qiangqu to greet him, the general ordered his soldiers to gather and carry out the task assigned by Qiangqu.

At this time, the official army camp, Tai Shici and Murong Fu and other generals came to Zhao Yi's camp to discuss matters, and today Qiangqu was frustrated and retreated in Guangning County, which made Tai Shici and others excited and a little worried at the same time.

Excited that the invincible Hun soldiers were finally defeated by the official army, they were worried about whether the Xiongnu soldiers in the besieged city could break through the official army encirclement.

In the opinion of Tai Shici and others, the reason why the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department were defeated by the official army was completely because of the light enemy, and the second was that the position of the official army was underestimated. That's why it leads to defeat. While discussing how to break the Hun soldiers, the Qiangqu in Guangning County must also be discussing how to break the formation of Zhao Yibu.

Tai Shi Ci said what he was worried about: "The adult's plan is exquisite, maybe he can deter the Qiangqu department once or twice, but after a long time, the Qiangqu may think of the way to crack it, how should our soldiers deal with it at that time?" ”

Murong Fu and Tai Shi Ci have exactly the same opinion: "What General Tai Shi Ci said is right, although the Hun soldiers are now short of food and grass, if they are forced too tightly, so that they can kill horses and satisfy hunger, then their physical strength and combat power will return to their peak, and then our officers and troops will be able to confront them." ”

What Murong Fu said made sense, at this moment, the war horse was a priceless treasure in the eyes of the Hun soldiers, a partner in his own battle. But if the Hun soldiers are cornered, they can definitely do the thing of killing horses to satisfy hunger. More than 40,000 war horses, if all of them are killed, it is enough for the Hun army in the city to support two or three months.

"The official army besieging Guangning County is the main force of the official army in Youzhou, not to mention the difficulty of transporting grain and grass, if it is another period of time, the external Yi clan will attack, will we not give up all our efforts."

Tai Shici and Murong Fu said all the disadvantages of besieging Guangning County, these two people are right, if another Yi clan invades during this period, if the officials and troops of the county town cannot resist, the news reaches Guangning County, will Zhao Yi send troops to rescue or continue to besiege Guangning County? It's a dilemma.

Hearing the words of Tai Shici and Murong Fu, Zhao Yi, who was immersed in writing, glanced up at the two of them, and gently blocked the brush on the pen holder with his face as usual: "The two generals have something to say, please speak directly." ”

Tai Shi Ci and Murong Fu glanced at each other, and said in unison: "General, at this moment, our officers and troops have already frustrated the spirit of the Hun soldiers, so we should take advantage of the situation to take Guangning City and defeat the Hun soldiers inside." "At this time, it should be fast enough to cut the mess, instead of cutting the meat with a blunt knife, which is slow and painful, hurting the Hun soldiers and even more hurting the officials and soldiers of the state government.

Zhao Yi did not answer, but took out his own sealed letter, stamped a seal on the cloth, handed the cloth to Tai Shici, and let them circulate it.

Only a few short sentences were written on the cloth, which was a letter to Zhu Jun, the pastor of Jizhou, which basically meant to ask Zhu Jun to lead the official army of Jizhou into Youzhou.

Seeing this letter, Tai Shici and Murong Fu's nervous faces eased, and with the support of Zhu Jun's officers and troops, Zhao Yi's officers and troops could deal with the Hun soldiers in Guangning County with peace of mind.

The two of them smiled bitterly, and said in their hearts that they were really an axe, and the things they were worried about had already been considered by the lord, and it seemed that they were troublesome.

Zhao Yi was very satisfied with the performance of Tai Shici and Murong Fu, and it was in vain for Zhao Yi to have such a vision, "Don't panic, the two generals, Qiangqu is difficult to fly this time." Zhao Yi walked out of the military tent with his hand, put the cloth into the bamboo tube, called Gongsun Du, who was with the army, to him, and ordered Gongsun Du to send the letter to Zhu Jun as soon as possible.

"With the help of Lord Zhu's Jizhou officials and army, the external Yi clan does not need to be considered. But if the Hun soldiers killed horses to satisfy their hunger, how should we deal with it? "I put down a boulder in my heart, but there is still an important problem that has not been solved.
