Chapter 507: Feng Sheng's plan is another day
"The Mongols are really difficult to deal with." Feng Sheng said, "Gongzi has a lot of kung fu, and he can deal with some people, but he can't deal with these thousands of troops. ”
"Indeed, on this battlefield, no matter how high the level of kung fu can crush the entire army, this is exactly what I am worried about now, if the Mongol soldiers come to attack the city again, how should we deal with it."
"Whether the Mongolian army is infantry, or archers, cavalry is a person who can attack and fight, today we can get away with holding Xiyang City, all because Gongzi resisted the cavalry outside, so that the Mongolian infantry and cavalry did not combine their full strength."
"Feng Sheng, then tell me how we should deal with it if the Mongolian soldiers attack again." General Shi asked.
"I haven't thought of a way yet." Feng Shengdao.
The strength of the Mongol soldiers is very strong, and according to today's fighting methods, they are bound to suffer losses, so today's combat methods can only be taken once and cannot be used again. In addition, the Hujia army suffered more than 1,000 casualties today, a large part of which were infantry, but the infantry was shot by heavy cavalry when they broke through.
"The Mongolian soldiers are strong in cavalry cooperation, and the strength of heavy cavalry and heavy cavalry shooting is not to be underestimated, our Tiger Army was shot and killed countless brothers by Mongolian heavy cavalry when breaking through, which is also one of the tactics of Mongolia." Wang Laohu concluded.
"General Wang is right, this Mongol fights a set of wars, and there are many things we need to learn." General Shi said.
"What are you going to do with the Mongols?" Wang Laohu is now entangled by the Mongols, and the emperor named himself the general of Xiyang, but he handed over the burden to himself.
At this time, a soldier outside the gate came to report, "Report, General Shi, the Mongolian army has been stationed six miles away from Xiyang City, and now the camp is brightly lit. In addition, a large group of Mongol cavalry rushed to the Mongol camp. ”
Unexpectedly, while everyone was discussing, it was already dark, and the day passed like this. "It's so fast, it's dinner time." Wang Laohu said.
"Why did this group of Mongol cavalry only arrive at the camp now? The heavy cavalry also arrived early? General Ma asked.
This is where everyone is puzzled, if this group of cavalry arrives earlier, the battle in Xiyang City may be more intense. What did these cavalrymen do?
Suddenly, Wang Laohu thought that when he went to the Sanyangding Mongolian camp to grab horses, he threw some croton to the horses there, and it was estimated that after these horses ate croton, they caused diarrhea, causing the Mongolian cavalry behind to be unable to keep up at once.
Now that these Mongol cavalry have arrived, the next battle may be even more difficult.
"Childe, I thought of it." Feng Sheng said suddenly.
In such a short period of time, Feng Sheng thought of what kind of way. "Feng Sheng, what solution have you come up with?" Wang Laohu asked.
"Childe, this Mongol army is different from us, we have the city walls to help, but they don't. In addition, the tents of the Mongol army were not made of hard wood. ”
"You're right, they're using yurts."
"One of the bad things about such a house is that it is not soundproof, and such materials are very easy to cause fires." Feng Shengdao.
"You mean we're going to set them a fire tonight?" General Shi asked.
"Tonight we will toss the Mongols so that they can not sleep, and besides, let the archers go, catch rockets, and set the yurts on fire as much as possible." Feng Shengdao.
"We've tried this method and stole some horses from the Mongolian camp. Now that the Mongol camp is so close to Xiyang City, their sentry posts at night will be even tighter, and if they sneak attack, I'm afraid of ......," General Ma worried.
Such worries are not unnecessary, and the same method has already been used once, and if it is repeated again, will it be blocked by the Mongols.
"The follow-up Mongolian soldiers have arrived, and everyone has seen today's situation, the Mongols are good at fighting, if we add the Mongolian soldiers who arrived later, what are our chances of winning?" Wang Laohu couldn't help asking.
"As long as we stick to Xiyang City and rely on the danger of Xiyang City, we can finally hold it for a few days and wait for reinforcements to arrive." General Ma said.
"This is only passive, in the case of a strong enemy, we must also use our own advantages to surprise the enemy, and now, tonight, there is such an opportunity, I know that such a small fight, may not be able to enter the eyes of the generals, but it is an effective method." Wang Laohu explained to everyone.
"If we go tonight and fall for the way of the Mongols, what will we do?" General Shi was worried about the tunnel.
"Yes, General Wang, the Mongols are not stupid, at this time, their defense will be tighter, if we have fallen into their way in the past, it will not be easy to evacuate at that time."
"There will be risks in doing everything, if we are afraid of this and that, and lose the fighter, we will only fall into a more disadvantageous situation." Wang Laohu persuaded again.
"As military generals, we should share the worries of the court, and we are by no means greedy and afraid of death." General Shi said, "It's just that this matter has been done repeatedly, and the degree of risk is much higher than the average." ”
"I know General Shi's doubts, think about it again, if we can succeed tonight, and the Mongols are anxious and unable to sleep because of this matter, we can be stable for another day tomorrow, so that we can still give tonight's attack a try." Wang Laohu said.
"General Wang has repeatedly explained the relationship between the pros and cons, and of course we understand that this matter is according to General Wang's wishes, and General Wang asks General Wang to tell us what to do." General Ma said.
"Feng Sheng, tell us about your plan completely." Wang Laohu said.
"Okay, Childe, I think so, because the Mongolian barracks are closer to Xiyang City, the defense at night is tight, this is certain, so tonight's operation, we have to select good candidates from the army, there are not many people, General Shi, General Ma, you each select five hundred soldiers from the army. On the mission...... "Feng Sheng introduced the mission this time and the timing of the retreat.
Before the time to attack at night, Wang Laohu was also very satisfied with the plan arranged by Feng Sheng, but it is difficult to say whether the Mongols will be as easy to make people as they did before. If there is an unforeseen mission failure, it will be a waste of rice to steal chickens.
This mission was led by Chang Yuchun, who took 100 men and horses to form a company with 500 soldiers and horses selected by the other two generals to attack the Mongolian camp. In addition, Wang Laohu also asked Qishun and Hu Da to follow all the way, these three brothers are all official, and they have a tacit understanding that they can take care of each other along the way.
But as if that weren't enough, Wang wanted to pursue a safer strategy.
The night was dark, Chang Yuchun and others drove their horses towards the Mongolian camp, but the horses could not go directly to the camp, for fear that the sound would be too loud to be heard by the Mongols, so the people who met Chun from afar dismounted and were guarded in a hidden place.
More than 1,000 people secretly marched towards the lighted Mongolian camp, and when they were more than a mile away from the camp, everyone was more careful, and the closer they were to the camp, the denser the outpost would be, even a secret outpost.
Everyone hid in the dark, Chang Yuchun and the others marched towards the Mongolian camp, and got closer to the Mongolian camp, Qishun said a little strangely: "Big brother, it's really strange, this way, I didn't find the Mongolian sentry, the sentry is not very normal, how can you not arrange a secret sentry?" ”
"Am I wondering too?" Chang Yuchun said softly, "We have to be careful, if we don't find the secret whistle, but are detected by them, tonight's mission will be in vain." ”
"What the eldest brother said is that Childe has trusted us by entrusting us with such an important matter." Huda, the big boss, also understands this truth.
The large army did not move for the time being, and Chang Yuchun sent a few soldiers forward to let them feel the situation in front of them, and a few soldiers moved forward.
After a long time, these people returned to their original places and said to Chang Yuchun: "General, we have carefully looked around and have not found any sentry. ”
This reminded Chang Yuchun of what Wang Laohu had said to him before leaving, "Chang Yuchun, tonight's task is very important and must be completed, but there are some things that are not your strong point, such as detectives, I will send others to assist you at this point, and in addition, if you are discovered by me when you retreat, I will also send someone to answer you." Attention, don't fight hard, the most important thing is for people to come back. ”
Chang Yuchun didn't understand what Wang Laohu meant by this, but now it seems that Wang Laohu sent someone to solve some things first, if so, Chang Yuchun wants to complete this task even better.
