Lu Zhongtian smiled and said softly: "Big Chief, the old man didn't say these words to embarrass the Big Chief. The old man only hopes to share the burden with the big boss and truly become an ally. The world is so big, from the north to Mobei, to the south of the South China Sea, such a vast land, enough for us to share. If you and I work together, we can make a difference. I'm afraid that I'm not greedy enough, and I think that if I swallow it alone, it will break my belly. You and I sincerely cooperate, don't bully and threaten the other, this world is the two of us. The old man is actually full of sincerity, it depends on whether the big leader can change his mind. ”

Wanyan Agu laughed loudly, nodded and said, "Okay, Lu Xiang is quick to talk, I agree with this." For now, we're going to do our best to deal with the Falling Goose Army, but after that, the agreement between us needs to be redrafted. I hope there is a fair agreement. ”

Lu Zhongtian nodded and said, "The Great Leader of Wanyan just wants more territory. The old man is willing to make sacrifices. As long as there is no Luoyan Army, the old man can even row the river with you, and the land north of the river belongs to you, and it is okay for you to be the leader of Wanyan, everything is easy to discuss. ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said: "Lu Xiang is really willing, if Lu Xiang is really willing to give me your land north of the river, why should I make a big move?" At that time, we will settle the disputes, become each other's brotherly countries, and coexist peacefully. I'm not a greedy person, in fact, we just want to have a place to stay. ”

Lu Zhongtian stroked his beard and nodded, scolding in his heart. What he said at the moment was all to appease Wanyan Aguda's heart, if he really wanted to divide the river and rule it, and give the land north of the river to Wanyan Aguda, it was impossible. He, Lu Zhongtian, is not a fool. It will depend on the situation. If he had the strength to deal with the Jurchens, he would not hesitate to drive the Jurchens away. If you don't have this ability, then it is also a good choice to go to Jiangnan to be the emperor by rowing the river.

"Those are all afterthoughts, what do you say about the current thing? The big leader agreed, did the old man propose a way to besiege them without attacking them, and trap them? Lu Zhongtian pulled back the topic: "If the supply of grain and grass for the big leader is a little difficult, the old man can grit his teeth and squeeze out 50,000 stone of grain to the big leader, the old man's sincerity is enough." ”

Wanyan Agu wanted to scold people in his heart, 50,000 stone of grain, isn't this a dispatch called Huazi? I want to refuse, but on second thought, don't want it in vain. Fifty thousand stone of grain was enough for his army to consume for several days. So he smiled and said: "Since it is Lu Xiang's heart, I thank Lu Xiang a lot." However, I always feel that this siege and not attack strategy is too conservative, and we don't know if it will really work, if they have already stocked up on food. There is absolutely no need for us to be so conservative. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at our more than 300,000 troops because of their 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, and they didn't dare to attack. ”

Lu Zhongtian smacked his lips and smiled bitterly, thinking in his heart: Barbarians are barbarians, this is obviously the superior strategy of using soldiers, but they don't understand it. However, Lu Zhongtian didn't want to rub shoulders with him, although this method of besieging but not attacking was certain, it was indeed a bit conservative. He himself was worried that after the army poured out and left Bianliang, once there was a change in Bianliang City, the less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind would not be able to control the situation. An extra day out there is an uncertain danger. If you can defeat the Luoyan army and return to Bianliang City as soon as possible, it will be reassuring.

"In this case, use the middle strategy. That's the best way to go, old man

I think we can surround them first, and then mobilize siege equipment to come. We don't have to rush this ten-mile long post, we just need to treat it as a city, and attack it with siege equipment, which will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. It only takes three or two days for the siege equipment to be mobilized. At that time, the catapults will bombard indiscriminately, destroy their fortifications, and the army will charge and storm again, and the battle will be completed. "Lu Zhongtian said.

Wanyan Agu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. It's a compromise. In the current situation, since the other party has set up a posture to defend the hill, he must have built fortifications on the hillside and made preparations. The whole hill can be said to be a small city. If it can be bombed with catapults to destroy the enemy's fortifications, it will certainly be of great benefit to the attack. As long as you can open a few channels to charge, you can rush up the hill in one fell swoop, so that the opponent's firearms cannot be used to block the attack. He does still have hundreds of catapults, which are useless in Chenliu County at the moment. It didn't take more than two days to mobilize.

"It's a good way to attack. Needless to say, Lu Xiang still has a strategy, that is the method of direct attack, which is indeed reckless. This was a compromise that did not require a long siege of the enemy without doing anything, nor did it have to risk heavy casualties. I think it's possible. I have some catapults on hand that I can transport here. Wanyan Agu nodded repeatedly.

Lu Zhongtian smiled and said, "I also have more than 100 ballistas and many catapults in Bianliang. All mobilized here, let's use these siege equipment to open the way, blast open a few passages, and then we can attack it in one fell swoop. At the latest, no more than three days, Guo Kun, Lin Jue and others will be annihilated. Since the Great Leader agrees, let us do the same, and immediately gather our equipment. Three days later, we attacked both south and north. What does the Great Chief think? ”

"Good. That's a word. Let's let Lin Jue let them survive these three days, and then clean them up completely. Wanyan Agu said loudly.

……

Between the trees on the slopes on both sides of the ten-mile long post, the soldiers and horses of the Luoyan army are nervously digging and reinforcing the simple fortifications. As the enemy besieged the ten-mile Changgang regiment, the Luoyan army also abandoned any idea of escaping, and everyone understood that there was no way to retreat, but to fight to the death with the opponent. Therefore, how to prevent the opposing army from charging up the hill in all directions is a real problem.

Lin Jue had already made a detailed classification of the terrain of the ten-mile long hill, and since he decided to stick to it here, he naturally had to make good use of the terrain. In fact, what he was most worried about was that the opposing cavalry would attack the hill by riding horses, so after Lin Jue inspected the terrain of the entire hill, he made a lot of arrangements for the four terrain slopes on the west side and the two gentle slopes on the east side. There are also conditions for the cavalry to charge, at least it must be an open terrain and a gentle slope, so that the cavalry can accelerate the impact on the top of the hill and complete the destruction of the defense system of the entire hill and the wild goose army. There are only six gentle slopes and open wooded areas where cavalry can charge in large numbers. The rest of the terrain was not steep, but the hills were steep and densely wooded, and the rain-washed ravines were rugged, which was obviously not suitable for cavalry.

In view of this, the focus of the defense should obviously be concentrated on the six gentle slopes of the east and west, and to guard against these terrains where the opposing cavalry can rush up. But Lin Jue did not order the digging of the pit and the burial of conventional hands such as stumbling horses

segments to lay out the defense system. Even Lin Jue did not order the dispatch of heavy troops to guard the fortifications above. On the contrary, in areas where other cavalry could not charge up, Lin Jue instead ordered to quickly build fortifications, deploy a large number of archers, and even build a lot of simple arrow towers as a means of auxiliary defense.

In those six key defensive areas, Lin Jue only built a dozen to dozens of square earthen platforms in the middle of the slope according to the width of the slope outside the conventional defense system. This thing is neither a fortification nor an arrow tower, and many people don't know what this thing is built for, but they only saw Liang Qi, the commander of the Luoyan Army's infantry army, personally bring people to inspect the height and angle of the earthen platform, nail down the long and sturdy wooden piles, and fix some ropes and iron circular chassis and other things. In short, a lot of people don't understand what this thing is for.

Only the soldiers of the swarm of bee firearms battalions led by Lin Jue and Liang Qi understood that these earthen platforms were the foundations and platforms prepared for the erection of a swarm of bee firearms. Since the advent of a swarm of bee firearms, in fact, the real majesty was when Guo Xu led the army to attack Luoyan Valley. The blockade on the eastern slope of the main peak shot countless people to the mountain siege forbidden army led by Zhao Yuankang, the commander of the front of the palace, and Zhao Yuankang also died under the powerful arrows of a swarm of bazookas. Since then, a swarm of bazooka launchers has not been seen in the big war, and it is extremely low-key.

But in fact, the improvement and R&D and manufacturing of the swarm bazooka have been going on, because Lin Jue understands that the swarm of bazooka should be the easiest to manufacture and use in the current technology at that time, and the most powerful means of killing the enemy. Especially in the case of dealing with the charge of a large number of cavalry of the opposing side, a swarm of bazookas will be worth the power of a salvo of hundreds of archers, and the damage caused is even more devastating. The only drawback is that it requires too much favorable terrain to erect, and its use requires not only height, but also angle. Without a suitable terrain, it will be difficult for those uncontrolled rockets to exert their power on flat ground or at an upward angle.

This time, the slope terrain of the ten-mile long hill has become the ideal terrain for a swarm of bazooka launchers. The long gentle slope and unobstructed terrain are the most suitable places for a swarm of bazookas. In fact, part of the reason why Lin Jue dared to confront the enemy army that was several times his own was that the other party did not know at all, and he had not shown up to exert his power before. Lin Jue knew that the other party must be extremely jealous of his own Wang Ba box musket and small melon grenade, and would even take advantage of the weakness of these two firearms to attack. Gaining the advantage of hand-to-hand combat by charging into battle may be the way they can come up with it. Therefore, this time, Lin Jue not only wanted to let the power of the Wang Ba box and the melon grenade be brought into full play, but also prepared this swarm of bazooka feast for them.

More than 100 swarms of bazookakas will all be deployed above the hillsides where these cavalry can attack. The rest of the place, although there were more archers, was to guard against the climbing charge of the opponent's large infantry. And the location of the opponent's cavalry attack can undoubtedly only be in these six gentle slopes. This is even intended to induce the opponent to charge gently and gently on a slope with few defensive forces. Lin Jue wanted to give Lu Zhongtian and Wanyan Agu a big surprise.
