Chapter 38: How to Use Soldiers

After Rude entered the Wuguan, he saw the old weapons left behind by the Wind Army, this kind of rusty spear and damaged arrows, not to mention killing people, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to kill a chicken!

At this time, even the Tusi veteran had nothing to say, and in this case, even the doubts in his heart disappeared with these broken weapons.

Because he had participated in the Wind and Land Plunder War several times before, the veteran was relatively familiar with the terrain of the border city and county, he pointed to the official road in front of him and said:

"General Rude, about ten miles further on, there is a valley, because its terrain is very similar to a gourd, so the wind people call it Hulukou, through the gourd mouth, you can see the town of the Wind Country, we should hurry up and march to capture the border city, and then let our knights plunder the supplies and women of the Wind Country at lightning speed!"

"Good!" Seeing that the veteran also thinks that it is normal for the wind army to flee without a fight, Rude is full of spring breeze, this is the first time he has led the army to fight, as an old hereditary nobleman, his age, military rank, and title are very jealous of some people in the country, and he knows these better than anyone else.

Therefore, in his opinion, this battle into the wind is a great opportunity for him to make contributions!

He didn't hesitate too much, and after a short stay in Wuguan, he ordered the whole army to pull out, ready to attack the border city in one go, and then burn and loot, and return with a full load!

Their mentality of not taking Fengjun in their eyes is exactly what Xiao Wang wants.

And the situation that the barbarians saw in Wuguan was also what Xiao Wang wanted them to see.

Under Xiao Wang's order, Wang Yan retreated to Wuguan, and with 10,000 defenders, he did not retreat all the way to Hulukou, but hid near Wuguan.

It can be said that 50,000 barbarians walked under the noses of these 10,000 defenders.

At this time, Wang Yan also saw that something was coming, and he said to the deputy general beside him as clever as he thought it was: "If General Ben's expectation is good, the reason why Xiao Wang asked us to give up Wuguan was because he wanted to come to the gate to fight dogs, and the reason why he asked us to throw down so many old and dilapidated armaments in Wuguan was to confuse the barbarians and deliberately show weakness, which was a plan for arrogant soldiers." ”

"Humph!" As he spoke, he snorted coldly again and said, "Don't think that General Ben can't see it, this Xiao Wang is true, this plan should have been discussed with us earlier, and we all thought that he was going to give up Wuguan!" ”

The lieutenant said secretly that it made sense, and while nodding, he also asked, "What about ...... General, how do we move now? ”

Wang Yan said: "Didn't Xiao Wang send the first and second corps to garrison Hulukou? I think that at this time, General Zhao Chuan and General Zhang Shicheng have already laid an ambush there, and the valley at Hulukou is surrounded by dense forests on both sides. I don't have to be in a hurry, wait in place, after the brute soldiers are ambushed, they will definitely retreat to Wuguan, and then we will lock the gate of Wuguan again, and have a real gate to fight dogs! ”

The city wall of Wuguan, the height inside and outside is the same, if it is really as Wang Yan said, then when the barbarian army is defeated and retreats here, you only need to be on the city wall, relying on the height of the city defense, and condescendingly beat the water dogs!

Thinking of this, the deputy general jumped up and said excitedly: "In this way, all this is in Xiao Wang's calculations!" This Xiao Wang, it is really okay, no wonder the adults are willing to defy public opinion and insist on awarding him the post of commander of the border army! ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he pursed his lips, he was still very unconvinced Xiao Wang, he felt that Xiao Wang had not discussed with everyone before, this was taking them as fools, but no matter how dissatisfied Xiao Wang was, if he could defeat these 50,000 barbarian soldiers, Wang Yan would still be one hundred and twenty willing!

On the other side, the mouth of the gourd.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Xiao Wang set up four camps in this valley, and at this time, all the generals above the commander of the border city gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army in the first camp.

After Xiao Wangduan sat down on the case, Lu Chen's sword and the tiger talisman that the herald had just sent back were placed on the case. On both sides below him, from top to bottom, sat a cadre of generals.

At present, the news of Wang Yan's retreat from Wuguan has been brought back by the herald at the beginning, and at this moment, the generals' thoughts are almost the same as Wang Yan's, thinking that Xiao Wang is going to fight an ambush here, and then fight the barbarians back and forth with Wang Yan of Wuguan.

"You mean, there are 50,000 brutes this time?" Xiao Wang asked the herald.

"That's right, according to General Xiao's meaning, his subordinates specially asked General Wang Yan, and General Wang Yan said that there were at least 50,000 people according to the speculation of the barbarian formation." The herald replied.

Hearing this, all the generals in the tent gasped, and people looked at each other in unison, and their eyes showed surprise.

I thought that the barbarians would come at most tens of thousands of people this time, and their own side deliberately ceded the military pass, and they would definitely be able to annihilate the barbarians in this ambush, but 50,000 people......

After the herald who brought back the news withdrew from the camp, Zhang Shicheng couldn't help it at first, he stood up and said: "General Xiao, we really shouldn't retreat from Wuguan, now there are 50,000 barbarian soldiers, how can this be good!?" ”

At the beginning, he thought that Xiao Wang's strategy was good, but now when he heard that the barbarian army had 50,000, he suddenly lost his confidence, and most of the other generals thought the same as him.

They felt that 50,000 barbarian soldiers were menacing, and it was really terrifying, but after Xiao Wang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he secretly said God help me!

Then, he snorted coldly and said, "What about 50,000 barbarians!?" Could it be that 50,000 people, we are too scared to fight! I'm telling you! Not to mention 50,000 brute soldiers! That's 100,000! 500,000! As many as you come today, you will kill as many as you want! ”

His words were extremely arrogant, but they made Zhao Chuan, who had a lot of opinions about him at the beginning, agree with him, and the latter got up and said, "That's right! General Xiao, since the barbarians are already less than ten miles away from us, what are we waiting for, hurry up and ambush! ”

"Ambush?" When Xiao Wang heard this, he gave him a strange look and asked, "Where does General Zhao Chuan plan to set up an ambush?" ”

Zhao Chuan was stunned, and said blankly: "General Xiao deliberately gave up Wuguan, didn't he just want to lead the enemy army here, relying on the terrain of Hulukou, and laying ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides, isn't that so......"

"Now the dense forests on both sides of the valley have long been cut down by our soldiers and built into camps, where can I hide soldiers?" Xiao Wang asked amusedly.

Yes? When Zhao Chuan heard this, he was dumbfounded, and stammered: "Since you don't want to set up an ambush here, then ...... How does General Xiao plan to resist the barbarian soldiers......"

"Of course, it's a head-on battle with the brutes......"
