Outside Mulu City, there are other armies lurking?

Hearing this, Yang Yue exhaled a long breath, and Long Yan was surprised.

Could it be that Anthony co-opted the scattered tribes near Mulu City in advance, gathered the elites of each tribe, and assisted him in protecting Mulu City.

In this way, the Tang army took the city under a little more pressure.

There will even be a bitter battle.

This is not good news for him.

On the side, the King of Shu was even more surprised.

When the army came, he insisted on suggesting that the emperor wave his army to attack Mulu City.

With the momentum of thunder, kill the opponent by surprise.

Fortunately, the emperor sternly rejected his suggestion, adopted a prudent strategy, and ordered the army to camp and rest on the spot.

If they had attacked Mulu City at that time, they might have been ambushed by soldiers outside the city, and the flanks of the army would have been exposed under the noses of the other party.

The situation of the Tang army must be precarious, and they have come from a long journey, without making an inch, without taking an inch of land, and stealing chickens and rice.

The King of Shu stared at Yang Yue with a ashamed face, and asked Chang Fengchun urgently: "General Chang, how many ambushes are lurking outside Mulu City?" ”

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.

At present, they have no idea about the situation outside Mulu City, and even if they intend to annihilate the reinforcements outside the city first, they have no way to make targeted deployments.

Chang Fengchun's face was embarrassed, and he said ashamedly: "Back to the prince, the scouts don't know the terrain of Mulu City, and they are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so they don't dare to go deeper." However, judging from the dust raised by the movement of the war horses, there should be several armies hidden everywhere outside the city, and the scale is not small.

The last general has already advised the scouts to lead the wolves and falcons to go deep into the secret and try to grasp the situation as soon as possible. ”

How many armies?

Not small?

Call.

The King of Shu let out a long breath and broke out in a cold sweat.

If you can't thoroughly understand the traces of several support forces outside Mulu City, the Tang army will be passive everywhere.

The number of reinforcements is large and the scale is not small, after a thorough investigation, it is necessary to eliminate these troops first, and when attacking Mulu City, there will be no worries.

Yang Yuejian frowned, leaned over the map on the desk, quickly observed in detail, and ordered: "If you probe and report again, you must find out the number of enemy troops outside Mulu City and their location." ”

"Whoa!" Chang Fengchun received orders and walked away.

In an instant, there was silence in the tent.

The King of Shu stepped closer and said, "The younger brother apologizes to the imperial brother for his previous impulsiveness, if the younger brother's plan is adopted, the army is afraid that the corpses have been exposed to the wilderness." ”

"There is no need to mention this matter, it is imperative to quickly think of ways to eradicate the reinforcements of Mulu City." Yang Yue raised his head and waved his hand, looking slightly anxious.

"Anthony's encirclement of the leaders of the Quartet and the command of his army to fight for him is indeed beyond expectations." The King of Shu said coldly.

With the Sassanid defenders in Mulu City alone, it was difficult to stop the Tang army's conquest.

The army rested for a few days and regained its strength, and if it launched an attack, it was only a matter of time before Mulu City was captured.

Now that an unknown number of reinforcements have suddenly gathered outside Mulu City, and they have not yet figured out where the other party is hiding, it is indeed very unfavorable to the Tang army.

After a short silence, the King of Shu suddenly said: "Brother Huang, the elite of the Quartet tribes are all gathered outside Mulu City, intending to target the Tang army, and the younger brother suggests adopting the strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?

Yang Yue's mind was all on the map, and he did not think deeply about the advice of the King of Shu.

Judging from the march map, there are many tribes scattered within hundreds of miles of Mulu City, intending to eliminate the two strong forces in front of them, and it seems that there is no other better strategy except for a frontal attack.

How to do it?

The king of Shu patiently expounded his thoughts, and said unhurriedly: "Brother Huang, it's actually very simple, take advantage of the emptiness of the defenses of the tribes, arrange a fierce general, lead a strong army, and kill the tribes directly.

Persecute the elites of the tribes to fight abroad, and if they refuse to come back, slaughter their people, and if they lead the army to come back and rescue the tribes, send ambushes along the way in advance, and take the opportunity to destroy them.

Without the help of reinforcements, Mulu City stood straight and exposed in front of the Tang army's soldiers, and it was not easy to be breached, capturing Anthony alive and seizing the wealth he had accumulated was like digging for something. ”

Hearing the voice, Yang Yue's face dissipated, revealing a faint smile.

The suggestion of the king of Shu is a good choice.

Without waiting for him to speak, the King of Shu continued to elaborate: "If the army achieves a great victory in advance, the morale of the whole army is high, and the attack on Mulu City will definitely be more and more courageous, and it will be able to get supplies as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the army will turn around and march north according to the plan of the imperial brother."

Yang Yue lay on the map, watching the tribes near Mulu City in detail, measuring the distance between each tribe and Mulu City.

When he was young, he nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Your plan is a strategy to break the game, since you have made a suggestion, you will lead the army to fight, if you can achieve a great victory, it will also help you train elites in the future." ”

This statement is almost to build momentum for the King of Shu, so that the King of Shu can successfully train his troops.

If the King of Shu one day trains a tiger division in the Western Regions and is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, it will be all beneficial to him, the King of Shu, and the court.

In this way, the Tang army was ensured to advance westward and greatly reduce casualties.

When the King of Shu heard this, he was secretly delighted.

The emperor returned his military power and created an opportunity for him to train his troops.

In the future, there may be a protracted wait.

Kneeling on one knee, he clenched his fists and said categorically: "Brother Huang, don't worry, my brother will go and arrange it quickly." Strive to find out the location of the tribes in the Western Regions as soon as possible, and wave their troops to attack them, and this battle will never disappoint the imperial brother. ”

"Remember, those who resist desperately, no matter how much they kill, all the women, and the captured money and food will be rewarded to the three armies." Yang Yue got up, standing in front of the high platform with a tall body, with a murderous face.

He will never forgive anyone who opposes the Tang Army.

lest they be spared, they mingle with the spies, waver in battle, and disturb the morale of the army.

Or, secretly correspond secretly with the various departments of the Quartet, leak the march route of the Tang army, the battle plan, and sabotage his good deeds.

"Whoa!" The king of Shu clenched his fists and took the order, and strode out of the handsome tent.

The king of Shu left, and Yang Yue leaned over on the soft couch to support his cheeks and ponder.

When the leader arrived outside Mulu City, he had planned to thoroughly understand the situation near Mulu City and adopt a strategy of fighting slowly and quickly.

Now Anthony has drawn in all the departments of the Western Regions and formed an iron wall outside Mulu City to escort him.

If he still adheres to the strategy of fighting slowly and quickly, the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Tang army.

Now he temporarily changed his plan, adopted the strategy of fighting fast and slow, and fought fast with fast, and led the elite to kill quietly after the king of Shu figured out the location of the tribes in the Western Regions.

At that time, it will inevitably be like an autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, sweeping across all parts of the Western Regions. Restore the fighting spirit of the three armed forces.

The problems faced by the Tang army were solved, and Anthony's plan to win over the tribes and resist the Tang army would be in vain.

The capture of Mulu City will be just around the corner.
