The reason why the Wu army lost so much was because the armor was not as good as the Wei army, the combat effectiveness was not as strong as the Wei army, and the courage was not as great as the Wei army, and it was also afraid of death, and another reason was that the Wei army was good at cooperating with the battle.

There are so many reasons, and it is understandable, don't forget, among the 400,000 Wu troops, of which 300,000 are young and strong people who have just been forcibly recruited, they are all forced to go to the battlefield, they have never seen blood, and they are all worried about their old fathers, mothers, wives and children, how can they have any heart to fight.

"Someone, map!" Baili Hong called softly with an expressionless face.

As soon as the words fell, the two captains quickly walked over with a brown paper map, which appeared in the field of vision of Gu Wu, Winged Duck, and Bailihong.

Bailihong pointed to three points on the map, "Daliang, Huaicheng, Liugang three cities are built according to the mountain, the surrounding area is flat except for our west, the southeast and north three directions are high mountains, the three cities are "product" word, Daliang is the first city, if we want to attack the interior of Wu, we must take the girder!" ”

"If the general expects it to be good, Prince Ji will definitely divide the soldiers and horses into three, Daliang will set up 100,000 troops, Huaicheng and Liugang will each set up 150,000, the three cities are closely connected, and troops can be sent to support any side at any time, and the journey will take less than a day!"

"General Gu Wu, General Winged Bird, I don't know if you two have any way to break the enemy?"

"Can we lead the army to make a detour, bypass Daliang, Huaicheng, and Liugang, and go straight to the territory of Wu?" Gu Wu opened his mouth and proposed.

Bailihong and Winged Duck shook their heads at the same time, only to see Bailihong explain: "The former enemy has not been eliminated, and rashly entering its territory is not good for us, and it is possible to fall into encirclement and die inside, and as long as Taiziji cuts off the rear road of our army, we will lose contact with the imperial court, and the heavy grain and grass will not be replenished!" ”

Gu Wu nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "Then what should we do?" If we really insist on attacking the city, our army will suffer heavy losses! ”

"There's no way to storm it, I'm not asking!" Bailihong was a little speechless.

At this time, the winged duck said indifferently: "Soldier Yun, Shangshan is good at fighting and strategizing, the Wu army divides the troops in order to intercept our advancing road, and we can also divide the troops into three ways, all the way to contain the Liang defenders, all the way to Huaicheng from the left side of the detour, to contain the Huaicheng defenders, all the way to Liugang from the right side of the detour, to contain the Liugang defenders!" ”

Bailihong seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?" ”

"That's right, surround the girder from three sides, block Liugang and Huaicheng to help, only besiege and not attack, according to the national strength of my Wei State, a large amount of grain can be continuously transported from the royal capital to replenish, even if we stay for ten or eight years, it will be fine, and Wu is different, although they are Gonghou State, but in terms of national strength, far less than our Wei State, their 400,000 army consumes seven or eight thousand stone of grain every day, which is more than 200,000 stone a month, let me ask, how much food can Wu State have enough for them to eat?"

"And after our surroundment, Daliang City is isolated, unless we are killed to contain the soldiers and horses of Liugang and Huaicheng, but it is obviously impossible to destroy us, we only need to insert a few more eyes and report the news of the Wu army in time, and we will be safe and sound, and deal with the Wu army calmly." Winged Owl smiled faintly.

Bai Lihong also smiled, "Okay, according to what General Yilu said, even if we don't attack, the Wu army will take the initiative to go down the city wall to fight with us, and will also give up the girder, it's just a bit risky, but it's worth taking a risk!" Speaking of this, Bai Lihong's face was straight, and he said in a serious tone: "Gu Wu, Winged Duck listen to the order!" ”

"In!" The ancient vulture and the winged owl bent down in response.

"Gu Wu, you lead 30,000 cavalry, 30,000 crossbowmen, 10,000 Changge soldiers, 10,000 short Ge shield soldiers, a total of 80,000 troops around the left to contain Huaicheng, remember, once you find out that Huaicheng soldiers and horses are moving, no, as long as you move to Daliang, immediately launch a tentative siege, anyway, you can't let Huaicheng soldiers and horses support Daliang!"

"Winged Bird, you lead 30,000 cavalry, 30,000 crossbowmen, 10,000 Changge soldiers, 10,000 short Ge shield soldiers, a total of 80,000 troops around the right to contain Liugang, just like the Guwu mission, you can't let the Liugang army support Daliang!"

Bai Lihong ordered one after another.

"No!" Gu Wu and Winged Duck shouted in unison.

After a period of time, Winged Bird and Gu Wu each led 80,000 troops to the left and right flanks, and Bailihong personally led an army of 190,000 to run to Daliang head-on.

Sure enough, as expected by Bailihong, Taiziji wanted to rely on the geographical advantages, help each other, and divide the troops into three routes, forming a "product" defensive formation with the three cities of Daliang, Huaicheng and Liugang.

Five days later!

Within five days, the Wei army did not attack once, and set up camp outside the city.

The girder, the general's mansion, the council hall!

In the meeting hall, Prince Ji sat in the first place in military uniform, and generals of all levels sat on both sides.

"Prince, it's been five days, and the Wei army hasn't attacked the city once, what do they want to do?" Liu Tong, the deputy general of the left, asked with a frown.

Prince Ji frowned slightly, and replied lightly: "Wait and see what happens, don't be impatient!" ”

"Report!"

At this time, an anxious voice came from outside the hall, and before Taiziji could speak, a scout with a command flag behind him ran in like a wind, and made a report on Taiziji's knees on one knee: "Prince, General Huaicheng Wu is here to report, Wei Guoxiao cavalry general Gu Wu led 80,000 troops, soldiers are in Huaicheng, and I have come to ask for the prince, what should I do!" ”

When the generals in the hall heard this, they raised their eyebrows, revealing an incredible look, and Prince Ji also frowned deeply, muttering softly: "I actually went to Huaicheng, what does the Wei army want to do?" ”

"Report!"

An anxious voice came from outside the hall again, just like just now, it was also a scout with a command flag behind his back who hurriedly ran in, kneeling on one knee to make a report: "Prince Qiqi, General Liugang Qi is here to report, General Huwei of the Wei Army led 80,000 troops, and the soldiers are coming to Liugang City, and I have come to ask the prince for my life, what should I do!" ”

Taiziji suddenly stood up from the first place, and exclaimed with a little surprise: "Liugang is also trapped!" ”

The right deputy general, Bi A, frowned tightly and stood up and said: "Prince, the Wei army is sealing Liugang and Huaicheng, so that the soldiers and horses of the two cities cannot gallop to the Liang!" ”

"It's just right, it's not simple, they are behind us now, we can go out of the city now, unite the Liugang and Huaicheng armies to surround these two Wei armies and destroy them!" Liu Tong, the deputy general of the left, said disapprovingly.

"No!" Prince Ji immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt, and then said with an expression that he never expected: "This prince really didn't expect that Wei Jun would be so bold to go around the back of my beam, what a boldness!" ”

As soon as they heard these words, all the generals and monks couldn't scratch their heads, and they didn't understand what the prince was talking about.
