"You and Ahanger can't solve him together, which shows how powerful this person is." "It seems that solving Xiyang City will not be as simple as before. ”

"Does the leader think this is going to stand in our way?" Laughrey said.

"Isn't it now? For two days, we couldn't go all the way, Xiyang City was repeatedly unbreakable, and this tiger general played a great role. "Liewusa said.

"Chief, I have also fought with this person, this person's name is Wang Laohu, I see that the clothes of his subordinates are all miscellaneous clothes, so I guess he is not from the court." Aza Dao.

"Yes, on the battlefield of the leader, the Han people are mostly dressed as miscellaneous clothes, and they don't look like people in the court." Horay Road.

Hearing them say this, Liewusa was even more puzzled or uneasy, not a person in the court, but with such a great fighting power.

"The chief doesn't have to worry either." "The Han people are very good at talking, and if there is a gap in the siege, they will run faster than anyone else." ”

"The problem now is that we have attacked the city so far, and the effect is still not ideal."

"Chief, give me a few more hours, and our previous army will definitely break through Xiyang City." Aza Dao.

"I believe in your abilities, Azza." "I want to change the strategy of the attack, I want to make Xiyang an isolated city. Listen to my orders and besiege Xiyang City!"

Inside Xiyang City.

At this time, everyone was immersed in the victory just now. On the second day of the battle with the Mongol army, they were able to stop their attack and win, which was quite a good record for everyone.

"Hahahaha. This time we defeated the Mongols, and in the days to come we were able to defeat them and flee. General Shi said with a smile.

"The Mongol army is menacing, but it still can't enter our Xiyang." General Ma said, "As long as we hold on to Xiyang again, this Mongolian army will be defeated without a fight." ”

"Yes, General Ma. This Mongolian army brought its own food to fight, if it took a long time, their food would become a problem, and they would not be able to enter our Xiyang City, and they could only roll back to their original place in disgrace. ”

"Everyone is right, as long as we have enough confidence to hold this Xiyang and prevent the Mongol army from entering the city, they will naturally have no motivation if they have no food." Wang Laohu said.

"General Wang, it seems that the Mongolian army is not invincible, as long as we continue to defend according to this plan, we are not afraid that we will not be able to hold Xiyang." General Shi said.

Is that really the case? With the difference in strategic thinking on the battlefield, each siege will have a different plan, and if it is held unchanged, it is likely to be broken. "Two generals, Xiyang City can be defended until now depends on the two generals and other generals, and next, we are still watching how the Mongolian army will play its cards."

"Discarded?" General Ma's face was devastated.

"I mean, let's see how the Mongol soldiers send troops, and then we'll discuss how to deal with them." Wang Laohu said.

As he spoke, a soldier reported outside the door.

"General, the Mongol soldiers have moved."

"What move?" General Shi asked.

"There are two groups of Mongolian soldiers bypassing our city of Xiyang City and deploying to the east of Xiyang City, and there is also a group of Mongolian soldiers continuing to march north, the purpose of which is currently unknown." The soldier said.

Listening to the soldier's briefing, Shi Youcai said, "What do the Mongols want to do?" ”

"Keep investigating, and report back immediately if you have any problems." Wang Laohu said to the soldiers.

"This Mongol is going around our Xiyang City to the north, are they going to avoid Xiyang City and directly attack Vazhou?" General Ma worried.

The Mongols stationed their troops in the east, and the main force of one side went north, so did they really attack Vazhou with such a transfer of troops?

From here to Vazhou, it will take a few days, to say the least, and the Mongols will leave Xiyang City? Wang Laohu guessed this question. No, if the Mongol army entered Vazhou directly, it would be trapped between Vazhou and Xiyang City, and the Mongol army surrounded by the two armies would be attacked on their backs, which was definitely not a better way.

But will the Mongol army have such a possibility, separating Xiyang City from the two cities of Vazhou, and risk attacking Vazhou first, because the emperor is present in Vazhou, and if the emperor is taken, the battle will be over.

This possibility is not out of the question.

Use a part of the troops to cut down the defenders of Xiyang City, and the large army will go straight to the state. If so, Xiyang City will be very passive. This is also what General Yu is worried about, so he wants to deploy his troops in Vazhou.

Now what needs to be determined is the true intention of the Mongol soldiers, and where exactly did they place their troops in the north?

After a while, a soldier came to report: "General, the Mongol army going north has stopped advancing, and their forces are deployed about two miles away from Xiyang City. ”

Erli? Wang Laohu read.

"General Wang, this is the Mongolian soldiers who are going to attack Xiyang City from the north gate." General Shi was worried about the tunnel.

The south gate, the east gate, and the north gate all have Mongolian troops on three sides, which is to encircle Xiyang City.

Wang Laohu guessed that the Mongol army was not going north to attack the state, but to encircle Xiyang, if so, this time they would approach Xiyang City from three sides, and three sides of Xiyang City would be attacked by the Mongol soldiers at the same time, and with this little strength in the city, it would be necessary to separate three groups to deal with the three sides, and it would be the intention of each to break through.

"The Mongols are attacking Xiyang City from three sides, and the threat from each side is equally great, General Wang, it seems that we have to plan early." General Ma said.

"Two generals, the Mongol enemy army is coming from three sides, what good can you do?" Wang Laohu asked.

"In my opinion, the three of us each guard a gate, and we must defend our own defensive side." General Ma said.

"General Ma has a point." General Shi said, "But then again, General Wang only has a few thousand men, and judging from the current number of troops in the Mongols, the East Gate Mongols have the smallest number of people, and I want General Wang to defend the East Gate with the weakest attack power." ”

"General Ma is thoughtful. However, none of the three parties can exist in isolation, and if one of them is breached, the other two will suffer. Wang Laohu said.

"General Wang, what do you think?" General Ma asked.

"I think it's important to redistribute the troops." Wang Laohu said, "The only people I brought this time are cavalry and infantry, which can be charged, but it is useless to deal with the Mongols who are besieging the city." ”

"I understand what General Wang means, you want us to send some archers to the east gate." General Shi said.

General Ma looked at Wang Laohu and said: "There are Mongolian soldiers on each side, and our number is much smaller than that of Mongolian soldiers. ”

"I also know everyone's worries, there are Mongolian soldiers in every direction, and the tasks on each side are very heavy, my requirements are not high, General Ma and General Shi, you only need to hand over five hundred archers to me." Wang Laohu said.

General Ma and General Shi listened to Wang Laohu's words, and their hearts were a little relieved, if it was only five hundred archers, it wouldn't be good, so the two of them agreed. According to the results of our deliberations, Wang Laohu was sent to garrison the east gate. The south gate was guarded by General Shi, and the north gate was guarded by General Ma's men.

Wang Laohu came to the top of the east gate tower, looking out of the city tower, there are indeed not many Mongolian troops here, at most 20,000 people, but compared to Wang Laohu's thousands of men and horses, this number is indeed a huge difference, but fortunately, there is a city gate and the city wall to block it.

"Childe, we are now stationed at the east gate, and there are only five hundred archers, and if we want to line up at the gate of the east city to resist the Mongol army, we must weigh it carefully and make arrangements." Feng Shengdao.

"You're right, these archers are a treasure in our army, but keep them safe." Wang Laohu said.

"Although the tower of the East City Gate is not long, five hundred archers are actually insufficient."

Wang Laohu also sighed, "This huge city tower defense line, you also have to think about where the key point is, where to arm, if it is arranged in a straight line, it must not be enough to arrange." Wang Laohu said.

"Childe, I thought that the two sides of this city gate were the focus of prevention and control, so they should be sent to defend them."

"Feng Sheng, have you ever thought that this city gate is also the focus of catapult attacks, if the archers are arranged here, the chance of injury will be very high." Wang Laohu said worriedly.

It's a real dilemma. The city gate is the focus, and it should be defended, but it is also the most vulnerable place, which should be arranged?

At that time, the impact of the stone attack had little cover at all, and only relied on the original strong walls. Wang Laohu thought and pondered.

If these archers were not enough, they should use their own forces to attack the Mongols with stones or other heavy objects.

Wang Laohu thought of a fire attack.
