Chapter 290: Arrangement

In the eyes of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, the current situation is very unfavorable to the officials and troops of Youzhou, and the Goguryeo tribe, which is guarded by the city wall, although the resistance of the tribal soldiers is a little messy, but it has taken advantage of it. If the officers and soldiers did not take advantage of the fact that the soldiers had just broken through the morale of the Goguryeo tribe and took the city in one fell swoop, if the delay was too long, the morale of the soldiers would be low, and it would be difficult to break through the city again.

And now Zhao Yi doesn't know the situation in Youzhou, why is it so delayed. "General, now that the Mubai tribe has formed a formation, fortunately, there is no experience and tacit understanding between the soldiers and the subordinates to fight together, if our official army takes advantage of the situation to attack, it will definitely be able to capture the city in one fell swoop." Liu Bei said that the current advantages of the official army said that there is no tacit understanding between the troops defending the city and the Goguryeo tribes, and the courage and ruthlessness of the official army have left a deep impression on the hearts of the Goguryeo tribe when they attacked yesterday.

Now, if the official army is attacking the city, its subordinates will be quite slow to act because they are afraid of the official army, and they will even take actions that are unfavorable to themselves in a hurry. Moreover, the official army has just captured the Goguryeo tribe, and it can be said that the morale is high, with these two advantages, it should not be difficult for the official army to break through the city.

As soon as Liu Bei said this, many people in the tent immediately echoed and agreed with Liu Bei's suggestion, and Li Wang and several other county guards were Liu Bei's resolute supporters, all of whom were concerned about the safety of the county and wanted to return to the county quickly.

Zhao Yi didn't see the current situation clearly, but Tai Shici's suggestion was really not what Zhao Yi wanted, and if the Youzhou army attacked the city now, it would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Liu Bei is also right, now the Goguryeo tribe is a little afraid of the official army, but the so-called fear is just a psychological barrier. In the battle to defend the city, if the Goguryeo troops can kill a few Youzhou officials and soldiers, then another thought will arise in their hearts, and the officials and soldiers are not a big deal, and they will still die if they are hit by stones.

If the Goguryeo tribes had this mentality, they would become more and more courageous. The stronger the combat effectiveness of the Goguryeo tribes, the more heavy casualties the officials and troops of Youzhou will be.

Originally, Zhao Yi didn't take the walls of the Goguryeo tribe seriously, but after last night's investigation, Zhao Yi knew that he had underestimated the Goguryeo tribe. Now that the battle has been fought to the point where it is today, the officials and soldiers in Youzhou are surging, and if the officers and soldiers withdraw at this time, it will make the soldiers centrifuge up and down, which is even more harmful than losing the war.

"The soldiers have worked hard all night, and the soldiers are ordered to go down and rest, and attack the city tomorrow." Zhao Yi gave an order, and when he saw Tai Shici and other generals bow down and walk out, Zhao Yi also walked out of the military tent, looking back at the brightly lit city wall of the Goguryeo tribe, his eyes flashing. Zhao Yi also gave the order to stabilize the restless soldiers, and bought himself a night's time, if he didn't think of a good plan during this night, he could only attack according to Tai Shici's previous arrangement.

Zhao Yi pondered the way to attack here, and Mu Bai in the city also gathered several generals to arrange the task of defending the city. After learning that the official army had tested the guarding forces of each city gate, Mu Bai knew that the attack of Zhao Yi's army was about to arrive: "According to the report of the soldiers guarding the city tonight, Zhao Yi's official army raided our four city gates. ”

The generals who followed Mu Bai to fight the world before had already suffered casualties in last night's battle, and now these generals in the tent are young generals that Mu Bai has just promoted, because Mu Bai can't supervise the tribal soldiers alone, so he can only promote new people. Fortunately, these young generals also have some brains, and they have not lived up to Mu Bai's cultivation. It's just that at this critical time, they were promoted to generals, and there was no joy on the faces of these people, and they did have the idea of being generals in peacetime, commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight, and they were quite proud. But becoming a general in such a situation, several people did not feel pride at all in their hearts, but felt strong pressure.

The lives of the entire tribe and thousands of soldiers were on their shoulders, and they had to be extremely careful in their words and actions, for fear that they would make a mistake and bring great casualties to their soldiers.

Hearing Mu Bai's words, a general said: "Chief, since the officers and soldiers intend to test the reality of our department, do we have to adjust the deployment of the soldiers, so that Zhao Yi's officers and troops can't figure out the details?" ”

The corners of Mu Bai's mouth showed a wry smile, this general is talking about conventional operations, but now the battle does not have to be before, the soldiers of the department have just become familiar with the city gate to which they belong, if they suddenly change the environment, it will not be good if there is any mistake. There is still a certain gap between the troops and the soldiers. "No, when I sent soldiers to defend the city that day, I thought of the temptation of the officers and soldiers, so I tried to make the same defensive strength of each city wall in terms of the allocation of troops. I called a few generals here today to prepare them for a response. The officers and soldiers will inevitably choose one wall as the main attack, and the other three sides will be assisted. ”

Mu Bai explained the siege strategy of the officers and soldiers, and then explained his countermeasures: "Several generals should pay attention to the main attack direction of the official army, if the main attack direction of the official army is determined, several generals can send the remaining soldiers of their headquarters to assist in defending the city." When he said this, Mu Bai specially told these generals, "The general must make sure that the remaining soldiers can withstand the impact of the official army before sending troops to support." ”

Youzhou officials and troops are flexible and changeable, if the main attack city wall is difficult to break, and the city wall of the assist has been loosened, then the assist will immediately turn into the main attack, although the main attack and the assist are one word difference, but this word change, can be transformed into a fierce and incomparable murderous aura.

The situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back was not what Mu Bai wanted, and the general heard this and said: "Now that the situation is extremely tense, can our department still select soldiers to defend the city from the tribe?" ”

The general's words aroused the agreement of the rest of the generals, for them, as long as their own troops are sufficient, no matter whether the officers and soldiers are the main attack or assist, they have the strength and courage to adapt.

When Mu Bai heard this, he refused without thinking about it: "Transferring the children and old people in the tribe has already greatly damaged the foundation, if it is transferred again, even if our department can hold the city, I am afraid that after this battle, it will be difficult for my Goguryeo tribe to turn over." ”

Mu Bai has already transferred some women with combat effectiveness, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among the troops, if it is transferred again, I am afraid that without waiting for Zhao Yi to attack the city, the rioting troops will be able to kill Mu Bai and these thousands of soldiers without leaving a piece of armor.

The reason why the Goguryeo tribe has this disaster is all due to Mu Bai's wrong decision, the first wrong decision is to send the general Jiwei to invade Youzhou, resulting in the casualties of the tribe's elite soldiers, and the second wrong decision is that in the face of the attack of the Fuyu tribe's army, the Goguryeo tribe should not have turned to the officials and soldiers for help, resulting in the Goguryeo tribe not only losing the wealth accumulated for many years, but also making it what it is today.

Because of these two events, Mubai's status in the Goguryeo tribe dropped suddenly, and the dispatch of women and children to guard the city caused strong dissatisfaction among the tribes. At that time, even if Mu Bai wanted to suppress it, it was too late. Therefore, Mu Bai did not agree to the method of transferring troops to defend the city.

Of course, Mu Bai did not express his concerns, but said in a high-sounding manner: "Now the troops are already very hard, and the battle to defend the city can no longer let the troops be killed and injured, even if we can't defend the city, we can't use the troops anymore." What Mu Bai said seemed to be very benevolent, but the thoughts in his heart were different from what he said on the surface.

"This city is the result of generations of my tribe's efforts, and it is extremely strong, as long as the city gates are closed on the inside, it is difficult for external forces to open them." Mu Bai said what he relied on.

When it came to the city gate, the generals also showed a smile on their faces, the design of the city gate was really good, the outside of the city gate was wrapped in a layer of one-inch thick iron plate, not to mention, even the door latch was made of pure metal, and dozens of soldiers only lifted the metal door latch when the city gate was closed. With such a strong defense, it is not easy for the officers and troops to break through.

"The city gate is impregnable, so we just need to guard the city wall, but the city wall is narrow and not conducive to the operation of large groups of soldiers and horses, so we don't need so many soldiers." Mu Bai said the advantages of his side, "The grain and grass hoarded in the city are enough for our side for three years, guarding the copper wall, it is not a problem for us to hold on for a year or two, but the Youzhou army besieging our department outside is afraid that it will take less than a month to withdraw, and at that time, the Youzhou army will be defeated and retreat, and the vast land outside will still belong to our department." ”

Hearing Mu Bai's words, the originally decadent faces on the faces of these young generals suddenly became excited, and their desperate hearts burst out again.

Seeing the general walking out with high morale, the calm smile on Mu Bai's face suddenly became bitter, what he analyzed just now was indeed good, if the official army withdraws, the land outside will still be owned by himself. Mu Bai was not worried about the officials and soldiers of Youzhou.

Although the number of officers and soldiers is large, they cannot last, as long as they hold out for a month, they will take the initiative to evacuate when the officers and soldiers are exhausted. What Mu Bai was worried about was exactly what would happen after the withdrawal of the official army. The overnight attack of the official army made Goguryeo's century-old foundation completely lost, even though the official army withdrew, but the Liaodong Yi people who were staring at Goguryeo's fat meat were only afraid that there were not a few.

The Fuyu tribe, which has always kept a close eye on the movements of its own troops, will besiege the Goguryeo tribe again in this city as soon as the official army withdraws. The Fuyu tribe is different from the Youzhou official army, although the Youzhou official army is powerful, but Zhao Yi has concerns, but the soldiers of the Fuyu tribe are different, and Wei Qiutai can besiege him for a year, two years or even three years.

The city of its own tribe is impregnable, but the food in the city is not inexhaustible, and the Goguryeo tribe will be defeated in a long time.

Thinking of this, Mu Bai sighed, worried about the future of his tribe.
