Chapter 509: The Mongol Army Kicks Dust
"Yuchun, you did a good job." After listening to their report, Wang Laohu praised that although the operation did not achieve the desired effect.
"I made a mistake in this command, please punish Childe." Qishun blamed himself.
"Punish what?" Wang Laohu asked.
"If it weren't for my eagerness to make meritorious contributions, I wouldn't have gone deep into the camp, and my brothers wouldn't have lost so much." Qi Shun.
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, just like when I opened the city gate when I was fighting with the Mongol army, I almost let the Mongol army rush into the city, and Xiyang was not protected. It's not terrible for a person to make a mistake, it's terrible to make the same mistake next time. ”
"Childe taught me a lesson." Qi Shun.
Now there was no one else in the room except Wang Laohu's people, so Qi Shun asked, "When I retreated from the Mongolian tent camp and was pursued by the Mongol soldiers again, a group of masked men rescued us. I noticed that the masked man was wearing a dress with the word 'tiger' embroidered on it. Are these people ours? ”
"They saved you, at least not our enemy." Wang Laohu did not say that these people were members of the second team of agents, but only told him that these people were not enemies.
Although Wang Laohu did not explain it directly, these people Qi Shun can be sure that they are Wang Laohu's people.
"We burned some of his tents this time, causing him such a big trouble, the Mongolian soldiers themselves are all in a hurry, they shouldn't come to us for trouble." Often meet the spring road.
"Stealing horses from the Mongol soldiers, giving them crotons, setting fire to the tents at night, and doing so many things to stop the Mongols, but none of these things can stop them." Wang Laohu said worriedly.
"If you can't stop them, then why do we go out and set fire to their barracks at night?" Huda was puzzled.
"Burn their tents to create trouble for them, so that they may not live in peace." Feng Shengdao.
"They are restless, so they don't have the heart to attack Xiyang City. These were temporary stops for the Mongol army. Wang Laohu said.
"The only way to truly solve Mongolia's worries is to fundamentally weaken their vitality." Feng Shengdao.
To eliminate the living force of the Mongol soldiers, it is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do.
"So we are just delaying the troops now, dragging the troops, and it is a day to delay it, and I hope that our reinforcements will arrive in Xiyang as soon as possible." Wang Laohu said.
As a few people were talking, a soldier came outside the door to report, "General Wang, General Shi is invited." ”
At this time, General Shi suddenly invited Wang Laohu, there must be something, Wang Laohu said to Feng Sheng: "Let's go to see General Shi first, you are ready to fight at any time."
Council Chamber.
"General Wang." Seeing Wang Laohu enter the hall, General Shi said, "Last night we attacked the Mongolian camp, originally thought that we could live in peace for a while, but the Mongolians did not let us live in peace as we thought, just now I heard a report from the soldiers, the Mongolian army is already two miles away from my Xiyang City." ”
The Mongol army is still here, although after last night's harassment, but for the Mongol army, such harassment may not be painful.
"They're here anyway." Wang Laohu read.
"Now that they are here, how are we going to fight the enemy today?" General Shi asked.
"Like yesterday's bold move to open the city gates, we can't do it again today." Wang Laohu said, "We were just lucky to drag the Mongolian cavalry in yesterday's battle, and we don't have such a good chance today." ”
"Yes, the infantry and cavalry, as well as the heavy cavalry, will be in battle, how will Xiyang City defend each other?" General Ma said.
"No matter which team it is, there will be weaknesses, and this Mongol army is no exception, if we grasp his weaknesses, we will no longer have to defeat them." Wang Laohu said.
"That being said, what exactly is the weakness of the Mongol army?" General Shi said.
Wang Laohu also shook his head, saying that he didn't know the weakness of the Mongolian army, and if he understood, he would not be as helpless as he is now. "We now have the city wall of Xiyang City to block, I am afraid that if under the series of attacks of the Mongol army's siege weapons, there will be a gap in this city wall, and then the Mongols will pour in, and this matter will not be easy to do."
"You really have to think about that. In the last battle, the Mongolian cavalry was not in place, but yesterday the Mongolian light cavalry and heavy cavalry had been assembled, and it was only a matter of time before a general attack was launched, and we had to plan for it as soon as possible. General Ma said.
"General Ma, the Mongolian army launched a general attack, and we don't have to worry about it, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, and they can't break through Xiyang at once." General Shi said.
"General Ma, General Shi, let's go up to the city tower together and see the situation before deciding." Wang Laohu said.
Several generals went up to the city tower, only to see the Mongolian army stopped half a mile away from Xiyang City, from the city tower, the Mongolian soldiers were neat, black and pressed, there were light cavalry in front, infantry in the back, and ladders for siege. This formation, at first glance, looks like it is going to forcibly take the city.
"General Wang, the Mongols are ready to take the city." General Shi said.
"Now they won't be attacking the city." Wang Laohu said, "At least not yet." ”
"Why did General Wang say that?" General Ma asked.
"You see, although the Mongol army seems to be very numerous, it seems to me that their catapults have not yet arrived, and besides, the heavy cavalry has not yet arrived, and if they want to attack the city, they must be present, otherwise the Mongol army will make the same mistake as yesterday."
"General Wang's analysis is reasonable, but why did the Mongolian army line up in front of Xiyang City so early, and still make it look like they were going to attack, what are they trying to do?" General Ma asked.
"I guess this is their mental card, they assembled in front of Xiyang City too early, playing a game of cat and mouse with us, putting pressure on us in our hearts, to tighten our nerves, by then, they have not attacked, we ourselves are under our own highly tense nerves, we have broken ourselves, now in this form, we just need to closely observe the movements of the Mongolian army, if we find the tools of the city or heavy cavalry to the scene, we can be ready for battle." Wang Laohu said.
"What does General Wang mean that we don't have to pay attention to the Mongol army now and do our own thing?" General Shi asked.
"Yes, we must not make ourselves too nervous, we have to do what we have to do." Wang Laohu said.
King Tiger in the room.
"Childe, the Mongolian army has gathered in front of Xiyang City, and it is only a matter of time before we launch an attack on Xiyang City, what should we do next?" Yang Buqun asked.
Wang Laohu did not answer.
Feng Sheng said: "Before the Mongol soldiers entered Xiyang City, they were not in a hurry to attack now, because they were not ready yet, and once they were ready, they would attack. We have a lot to do in the meantime. ”
"Take the initiative?" Mountain Seal asked.
"How to attack? The Mongol army is eyeing us, and we go out to fight, like sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there is no chance of victory. "I often meet the spring road.
"Last night, we were able to learn the Mongol soldiers, even if they slept at night, they had good organizational skills, and they didn't have much time to gather the team." Qi Shun.
"Now if we go out to fight the Mongol army, it is not the best way." Feng Shengdao. "I think at this time, we have to come up with a strategy to deal with the Mongol attack, in addition to the coordination of the troops, they will attack the city wall with catapults, use infantry to climb the city tower first, and then use cavalry to rush into the city, they are known for their speed, so according to their ideas, they will soon enter Xiyang City."
"They're delusional. Are we still in Xiyang City? They are air when we are. Huda said.
"Childe, can you think of a way to deal with the Mongols?" Qishun asked.
"Feng Sheng, I'm thinking, our battle with the Mongols is inevitable, their most powerful class of troops is heavy cavalry, can we start with their heavy cavalry." Wang Laohu thought suddenly.
"Yes, Childe. The heavy horses of the Mongols were heavily armoured, and the men were also heavily armoured, and it was really difficult for ordinary weapons to pose a threat to them. Feng Sheng said.
"And what good weapons are there?" Qishun asked.
"How can there be so many things, my spear is not a vegetarian, we are also cavalry, and we will not necessarily be at a disadvantage when fighting against them." Yang Buqun said.
"My leech knife sharpens iron like clay, and these armors are nothing." Mountain Seal Road.
But how many leech knives are there in the Tiger Army?
