Yan Wenyuan didn't leave this time, but quietly stood on the side of the table.

But this is not divided into offense and defense, how to deduce?

As soon as Luo Bai showed a puzzled look, Feng Chengping walked up and said, "Brother Luo, I'm going to start attacking!" ”

Feng Chengping is the attacker, so he can only defend.

"Brother Feng, please!"

Feng Chengping sat down and pointed to the Yellow River in the east of Fengyu City: "My five hundred boats are going upstream, and they are now fifty miles away from Fengyu City, and now they are docked on the north bank, and the boats are not entered." At the same time, more than 20 small boats were sent to land and start construction of a temporary wharf. ”

Then he looked at Yan Wenyuan: "My lord, is it okay?" ”

Yan Wenyuan nodded.

Luo Bai knew that what Feng Chengping said now was also the information that his own spies could get.

This sentence did not mention their troops, nor did they know their next plan.

How could a team of nearly 200,000 people, relying only on the strength of more than 20 small boats, that is, less than 100 people, build a wharf in a short period of time?

So that must not be their purpose.

But he didn't know what to say, because Feng Chengping Chen Bing was on the river, it was on the surface, so to speak. But he is in the city, how can all the arrangements be said?

Fortunately, Yan Wenyuan spoke: "Come in." ”

At this moment, two teenagers walked in.

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, and found that he knew them all: Yu Shaoji, Xue Lingkong.

"Pick your own."

In front of him, Yu Shaoji had a hard time choosing. After all, these two are his robes, and it's not good to choose anyone. Instead of this, it is better to let Xue Lingkong choose first, and there is no question of whether to choose or not.

But he guessed that he was going to become Luo Bai's herald, after all, Xue Lingkong and Luo Bai had a general relationship.

But as soon as this idea appeared, Xue Lingkong walked towards Luo Bai.

Yu Shaoji was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards Feng Chengping.

"They are your heralds. All actions are communicated by them, and I judge the results of the actions, and finally feedback the results to you. ”

After explaining the final rules, Yan Wenyuan asked the last question before the deduction began: "What other questions do you have?" ”

Feng Chengping shook his head and signaled that he had no problem, but Luo Bai spoke.

"My lord, there are many battles involved in the defense of the city, and all parties need to work together. I need to be sure: Am I in charge of everything as the war continues? Military, and others? ”

This is an obvious problem to be solved, and if there are many doors, it will inevitably cause chaos, so how can it be fought?

Yan Wenyuan stared at Luo Bai for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Boy, let's say that you are not the commander of the defenders of Fengyu City, even if you are, do you think that if you are given full power, you will be able to command everything?" ”

Luo Bai was stunned, what does this mean?

But Yan Wenyuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, now it's a deduction, and the other factors will be discarded first." Since you want full power, I will assume that you have full command of the battle for Abundance, including the military, and others. ”

Luo Bai nodded and said, "I have no problem." ”

"Well, then, it's the morning of the first day of war, let's begin."

This deduction, now is the real beginning.

Luo Bai looked at Xue Lingkong standing beside him, and although he was surprised, he still gave a series of orders.

"The southern city is under martial law, and everyone is prohibited from entering or leaving."

"Strengthen the defense of key parts, the city gates, the granary, the city lord's mansion, and the docks of the two cities."

"Send boats and patrol the river to prevent them from rushing into the city."

"Send a band of fighters to sneak into the hilly areas of the south bank to see if there is any enemy movement. Carry carrier pigeons with you so that you can communicate in a timely manner. ”

"Arrange two battalions of cavalry, wait for news from that group of soldiers, and determine their next move."

"Beicheng is under martial law, send spies to explore the progress of the construction of the dock, and at the same time prepare rootstocks and other equipment to defend the city in case of emergency."

In the blink of an eye, Luo Bai had already issued six orders.

Xue Lingkong had no expression on his face, turned around and walked towards Yan Wenyuan, reporting the situation.

On the other hand, Feng Chengping has also started his own actions and is also reporting.

Luo Bai knew that this kind of reporting and the next judgment would take time. After all, it takes half a day or even longer to get a result from the time the command is issued to the time when the feedback is received.

But now, he didn't have time to wait.

Xue Lingkong came back and shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no feedback yet.

Luo Bai nodded and said: "Now send someone to check the household registration of the people, verify the number of young and strong men between the ages of eighteen and forty, and preliminarily count the people who are willing to fight for the imperial court, mix into the army, and start drilling." ”

"Sweep the whole city of horses, including those in the hands of the merchants' pawns. Private horses can be purchased at a price 10% higher than the market price, and then arranged in a unified manner, maybe they can be used later. ”

"A curfew is imposed: it begins at 9 p.m. and ends at midnight."

"Intensify the night patrol, and anyone who does not obey the curfew will be arrested immediately. Dare to resist, don't kill! ”

The murderous aura of the last sentence was so strong that even Xue Lingkong's face changed.

But he was only a herald and did not have any initiative of his own.

However, when Yan Wenyuan heard this, he showed a look of surprise.

When new recruits go to war, they will be timid. The first killing, the feeling of a white knife coming in and a red knife coming out, is a test for any recruit.

Get through it, and you'll have to go far.

Luo Bai obviously no longer has this problem.

"It's noon, and after a morning of exploration, the spies in Beicheng have determined that there are nearly 200 people who have gone ashore to build a temporary wharf."

This is the first feedback Luo Bai has received so far.

Two hundred? That's not enough, five hundred ships, how could they send such a few people to build a dock?

Is it a disguise? Is it a sound to hit the west?

But what is "West"?

Before he could figure it out, the second piece of feedback came again.

"We used a small boat to observe closely, and found that they connected the small boat side by side to the shore, and the other side was fixed with the big boat, and the small boat was laid with formwork and was building a pontoon bridge!"

"What?!"

Luo Bai stood up directly!

How could this Feng Chengping come up with such a strange trick?

Two, or even three, small boats were connected vertically in parallel and planks were laid on them. Then use this to connect the vehicle and the shore to create a pontoon bridge one zhang wide.

If the first one is confirmed, then the second and third will be built soon.

At that time, Feng Chengping even saved the wharf, and there would be no obstacles to landing.

Luo Bai calmed his heartbeat, he glanced at Feng Chengping on the other side, and the other party just looked up.

Feng Chengping was not arrogant and provocative.

Those eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and they were not alarmed.

Why didn't you find out that this guy was a hard stubble before? Now it's in trouble.

He sat down, his brain spinning.

If they wait for this pontoon bridge to be built, their camp will quickly take shape. At that time, his head start was gone.

A decision must be made!

"How many horses are there in the city?"

The feedback came back immediately: "Two thousand horses." ”

So little?

"Dispatch a battalion of soldiers, each armed with enough bows and arrows, and two horsemen and horses, and look for an opportunity to destroy the pontoon bridge while most of them are still on board."

Xue Lingkong received the order and was about to report, but was stopped by Luo Bai.

"What kind of wind is it now?"

Xue Lingkong said: "North wind." ”

North wind? Wouldn't that be more suitable for docking and landing on the South Bank?

The thought flashed away, and immediately said: "Send small boats, fill them with fuel." Cooperate with the cavalry, and be sure to burn the pontoon bridge for me! ”

Xue Ling nodded.

This was the first encounter since the start of the deduction, and he was caught off guard by Feng Chengping.

I thought that I had a good grasp of the battle situation, but in the actual combat process, there would always be all kinds of strange tricks, which made him unguardable.

Like now, he has lost the lead.

Feng Chengping's method is unstoppable.

He could destroy one pontoon, but he couldn't destroy the rest.

Feng Chengping will definitely go ashore. He had already thought about it, and it was not safe to rush into a frontal battle, and when the enemy's strength was not even clear.

Besides, it is difficult for 50,000 people to defend the city, let alone attack?

All he can do is drag!

The enemy has come from afar, and there will be a shortage of food and grass.

Although the ships were huge, they could carry 400 to 600 people in one boat. Then 500 ships can transport 300,000 people at full capacity.

But this was obviously impossible, and they had to load food, grass and ordnance. In other words, they have limited food and grass, so the time to attack is also limited!

Yan Wenyuan said that there is still grain and grass for "ten days and half a month", but what about outside this time limit?

Luo Bai didn't believe that their grain and grass could last for a month!

"My lord, the number of people and private horses in the city has been counted, and there are nearly 200,000 men of working age. However, since the centralized recruitment through posters, less than 1,000 people have signed up automatically. There were 1,000 horses, all of which had been acquired. ”

Thousands? So little!

Luo Bai frowned again.

He was a little skeptical now, if Yan Wenyuan had judged too much, how could it be just this person?

But he endured it anyway.

"The horses are arranged first, and then they can be used."

"It's useless to fight in front of the 1,000 people, give it to the veteran to take it, learn the bow and arrow, and strive to learn the skills of archery. Thousands of troops and horses came, and there were so many people that a blind man could shoot it. ”

He muttered and said, "After the urgent training, let's be incorporated into the city defense army for the time being." Half of the north and half of the city. ”

In addition, we send out notice again and continue recruitment. If necessary, you can ask the local government officials to go and call for recruitment! ”

Luo Bai firmly believes that the court of the Great Xia Dynasty is clear, and the people will naturally turn to the court.

As soon as the idea came to mind, Snow Volley came again.

"The news came from the south bank of the Yellow River that no enemy was found in that hill. Not only that, but they also observed that the enemy's vehicles and ships were huge, stretching for more than ten miles in front and back, and the entire Yellow River was full of their warships. ”

Luo Bai snorted coldly: "Inform the soldiers of the two battalions, let them bring enough rations for ten days, ride those thousand horses, and go straight into that hilly area." When the time came, one battalion returned on horseback, and the other battalion lay in silent ambush. Twenty days later, if there is no fighting, return. During this period, even if the drums of Fengyu City shook the sky, as long as he did not receive an order, he continued to be silent. Remember: no cooking on a fire, no leaving the hills, no taking the initiative. Violators, behead! ”

Xue Lingkong listened to Luo Bai slashing one by one, and his heart was beating in shock.

He had the illusion that although it was a deduction now, Luo Bai had already entered the scene. Every word and deed is from the perspective of the supreme commander of Fengyu City, which is convincing.

Time passed little by little, and no news came.

Luo Bai suddenly spoke: "What is the name of the east gate of the southern city?" ”

"Suncheon!"

Luo Bai stood up: "Go to the Shuntianmen Tower!" ”

As a general, of course, you must stand in a place where all soldiers can see it.

And this place is none other than the city tower!

"That's my battlefield!"
