"It's also half-crazy." Yue Zhi shook his head and said: "Our big camp and Song, Ta Liangshan and Ningyuan are almost one, if they want to cut off our back road, they have to cut off Jinzhou first, and then attack Songta, as long as the garrison of Songshan Tashan is a little more than a few hours, our Chinese army and the forbidden army soldiers of the rear camp will arrive, front and back, as well as the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou City, they have to throw all 200,000 soldiers and horses here if they are not careful, this is too risky, and if they gamble with the lives of the whole clan's soldiers." ”

"Don't they gamble?" Li Guorui also figured it out, and sighed: "Chechen Khan is also a man with a heart like steel, if he doesn't gamble, he will definitely fight a bad battle here, and the situation is to go in the direction we envisioned, he will definitely be unwilling." The way to break the game is to change the direction, from being led by us to leading us to leading, and there is a big difference here. If he wins the bet, we will lose miserably, and they will win big. The bet was lost, but it was a few years earlier to destroy the country, we built a city here successfully, that is, the chain was built successfully, they could only shrink in Liaozhou and wait for death, at most another ten or eight years, the court was not harassed by Donghu, and the accumulation of hundreds of millions of dollars was there, with money, there were more armor and weapons, and there were more forbidden troops. Even if we don't fight them in a decisive battle, just lock them in Liaozhou, the sea sailors recover, and put pressure on the Bohai State again, and they are attacked on all sides, they can only run into the dense forests in the north, and after a few years, they will retreat into a savage tribe. If you don't fight now, that is, you are waiting for death, there is still a glimmer of life in fighting, Chechen Khan can see clearly, those who are beautiful, ten thousand households, of course, also see clearly, if you don't fight, you will die, of course, you will fight with their Great Khan. ”

Although the weather was still cold, Yue Zhi almost wanted to wipe his sweat. He is such an old-school soldier who acts steadily and prudently, and he uses 10,000 soldiers and horses as 5,000, as long as the battle line he garrisons is even three or five times the enemy, and the name of the rock is not casual. In a big battle like this, taking out the luck of the clan and the lives of 200,000 soldiers as a big gamble is really an incomprehensible crazy move for Yue Zhi.

"They have two problems," Li Guorui said: "One is that Jinzhou is on the side, and the other is Songta to Ningyuan, there are 100,000 troops led by Taiwei Li Jian and Li Enmao, although the army is distributed from Yuguan to Tashan, but there are at least 30,000 people stationed in the Songshan Forts in Tashan, and if they don't take Tashan, they can't cut off our grain routes, and if they want to take Tashan, they have to guard against the enemy." ”

"Now that we know, we won't let them get it easily." Yue Zhi said in a deep voice: "If you want to send dead soldiers to infiltrate Jinzhou, at least shoot arrows into Jinzhou, and tell Li Youde to be ready to attack the city at any time, if the hostile intention is in the grain road, Jinzhou City can't hold it, it doesn't matter." ”

……

In the middle of the night, several arrows were fired into the city of Jinzhou, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who got the arrows did not dare to slack off, and quickly sent the arrows to the commander of the Xiangdu Ya, and presented them to Li Youde, the commander of the Xiangdu.

Li Youde had already fallen asleep, fighting fiercely all day long, Jinzhou officers and soldiers were not allowed to go out, so that this general who was good at assault was uncomfortable, when Tiefutu and the infantry army were fighting together, Li Youde looked at the sexuality, took off his robe, and beat the drum in Jinzhou City with his bare upper body, although the cold wind beats, his drumming is also sweating profusely. After nightfall, the outside is still noisy, the 30,000 garrisons of Jinzhou City are divided into three teams, taking turns to guard the city, although the Donghu people did not push a large number of siege equipment, still have to be careful to be accidentally captured by the enemy.

Li Youde doesn't care, his more than 10,000 cavalry are also in the city, it really makes people touch the city, it's great to set up the cavalry, rush hard, but I want to see, under the impact of the cavalry, the Donghu people didn't set up the cavalry formation, who can't stand it at that time?

Because of his inner determination, Li Youde went to bed early, and when he was woken up by the sentry, he had already slept two times.

"Cut off the grain road, attack Tower Mountain?" Li Youde sat on the couch with a golden knife, and said with a sneer: "Lao Tzu is not dead, if you don't take Jinzhou as a dish, or look down on Lao Tzu?" Really want to send a cavalry team to Tashan, Lao Tzu will not open the city to care for his back? Yue Zhi, the Tai Lieutenant, is a parallel product, so he won't take the opportunity to attack with Lao Tzu? Is Chechen Khan stupid or crazy, damn it, after this battle, I'm afraid I can capture that goods to Jingshi and sacrifice them as prisoners, right?

Li Youde said to himself, his subordinates had seen too much, and they didn't care.

"Let people look more at the situation in the city," Li Youde decisively said: "Donghu people are not stupid or crazy, they always have ideas, and if they can't figure out whether it is fake to attack the grain road, they still want to plot Jinzhou." Chechen Khan is not a madman, they are invincible when they defeat Jinzhou, why bother to go to Tashan to take risks? ”

This is also reasonable, a group of deputy commanders who followed up after hearing the news, Du Yuhou, and the commanders of the military all nodded, and everyone was not panicked, with Li Youde here, everyone was not afraid, this is the confidence and confidence that the famous general brought to his subordinates.

……

"It's a big problem!" In the early morning, Li Youde was woken up again by his subordinates, and the sky was just dawning, which was the time when people were most deficient in qi and blood and felt the coldest in the day.

Many of the soldiers of the forbidden army in iron armor at the head of the city were cold and blue, and their expressions were ugly and tight.

Not only was it cold, but it was also too shocked and nervous.

Overnight, I don't know how much manpower the Donghu people mobilized, at least tens of thousands of Han slaves and tens of thousands of ordinary people, plus a large number of armor soldiers also started, from the left side of the Wei army's front camp to the west of Jinzhou City, and then to the side of Yushui, overnight, the Donghu people dug a deep ditch that was twenty miles long.

In front of Li Youde is a standard battlefield deep ditch, about two zhang deep, even if a person falls down without a sharp stake to hurt his body, it is quite difficult to climb up, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, extremely difficult to climb.

In this deep ditch, of course, there are also many sharp piles, and there are many Donghu people who are dismantling the remaining wooden fences on the Wei army camp and taking them to the long trench and inserting them diagonally, which is completely in a state of strict defense.

Li Youde was dumbfounded, and many generals who caught up with the city when they heard the news were also the same.

There is such a long trench, and if the forbidden army in Jinzhou City wants to break out of the city to do a fight, they must first mobilize a large number of manpower to dig outside the city...... The soil bag will not fall from the sky, first take the straw bundle and weave it into a straw bag, then fill the soil, and then fill the trench in the rain of arrows, even if Donghu uses most of his strength to defend the main force on the Yushui side, and Li Youde and others are put out to fight on the side of Jinzhou City, it will take at least a day to break through the trench.

One day, the main force on the other side is afraid that the battle has already been completed, and the soldiers and horses in Jinzhou City are really not very useful.

"Lao Tzu has been practicing martial arts and serving in the army for more than 20 years." Li Youde, who was in his forties, said with a depressed face: "Even against the Donghu people, they are attacking and defending, but now they have become a turtle in the urn." ”

All the generals are solemn, this time the army of Jinzhou is really hanging, unless the forbidden army repels the Donghu soldiers and horses in front of them, otherwise even if it is consumed, the first to die must be the garrison of Jinzhou City, these more than 30,000 people have become the flying son in the chessboard, the abandoned son, unless the forbidden army runs over and the Donghu army to fight a decisive battle, at the risk of defeat, the road must be opened again, otherwise, this battle is difficult to fight.

"They're still digging trenches?" A marquis of Yu suddenly said: "Is it digging from our big camp to the front camp?" ”

Tens of thousands of Donghu people ran forward, all holding a large number of instruments in their hands, most of them wooden shovels and shovels, but in such a muddy period of ice melting, digging a trench is relatively easy, if it is a month ago during the frozen period, even if all the shovels and shovels are used, it is impossible to dig a long trench of 20 miles overnight.

Tianshi, it is really owned by the Donghu people.

Just under the noses of Li Youde and others, tens of thousands of Donghu people used the fortifications left by the former camp forbidden army to gradually excavate and connect together, quite obviously, they dug another ditch under the city of Jinzhou and before the Wei army, so that if an insurance is added, the Wei army wants to rush over and reconnect with Jinzhou City, first brave the rain of arrows to fill the trench, just the battle of filling the ditch Donghu people sent 20,000 or 30,000 lives, but the forbidden army has to break two ditches!

Li Youde looked at everything in front of him with a gloomy face, and suddenly laughed.

"Li Zhaozhi and Captain Yue, I'm afraid my scalp is numb now." Li Youde said to everyone: "If I don't hide it from you, I'm afraid our situation is not good." However, dead chess also has a living eye, it depends on whether we can hold it up. There is enough food and grass in the city, and there is not much firewood, so you have to be prepared to be trapped for a long time. Now start to save, eat dry food if you can eat dry food, start with me, eat dry food, drink raw water, one month does not achieve two months, two months does not achieve half a year, Lao Tzu does not think that Donghu people can spend half a year here. They can't attack it, our lives are our own, and no one can take them away! ”

Originally, the soldiers at the head of the city were all gloomy, but after listening to Li Youde's words, many people were also relieved.

Li Youde turned his head to go down to the city, and when he lowered his head, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

After many years of fighting, Li Youde's sense of smell on the battlefield is quite keen, this time the Wei army has the first opportunity, and then the Donghu people broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, and the response was extremely subtle, and the two trenches isolated the Wei army into two parts, forming a situation that was difficult to take care of.

The most important thing is to grow a trench, and the next step must be Tashan.

Whether Li Jian and the others can withstand it or not will become the winner or loser of this battle.

The key to this is not that Chechen Khan is more clever than Li Guorui and others, but that he grasped the contradictions of the Wei army.

If Li Guorui, Yue Zhi and others were given another half a year, the current battle situation would never be such an embarrassing situation.
