Discussions come and go, or there is not enough information to make accurate judgments and correct decisions. Therefore, Guo Bin decided to move forward and wait until he had enough information before making a decision.

Fortunately, Yangzhai is surrounded by mountains, and the original special forces training camp located in the mountains has become the foothold of Guo Bin and others.

Everyone came on horseback, and when there were not enough horses in the Yue Riding Camp, Guo Bin still bought more than 500 pack horses from Beijing to get everyone's mounts. Although pack horses are not suitable for battle, they are sufficient for travel. Although the training camp was located deep in the mountains, it had its own hidden path for the army to pass, and this road was also used as a passage for the transportation of materials when the camp was originally built. Now it seems that it really came in handy.

However, the mountains are overgrown with thorns and are not suitable for horseback riding. The people dismounted and walked on foot, put a load of dry food and equipment on their horses, and led the horses to the camp.

The camp not only had barracks and stables, but also an arsenal and granary, which were just enough for the army to rest. In addition, there is a pigeon point in the camp that can communicate with Yangzhai County and Fulong Villa, and in addition, there are 200 special sergeants stationed there.

On the same day, when the army arrived at the camp, rested for a while, and exhausted the fatigue of several days, Guo Bin gathered a group of generals and strategists to the big tent, one to report the information obtained in the camp, and the other to plan the strategy of the march.

According to the information obtained from the flying pigeon, two days ago, nearly 20,000 thieves suddenly appeared outside Yangzhai City, surrounding the city. Immediately, there were nearly 10,000 people stationed outside Fulong Villa. They were armed with knives, guns, clubs, shovels and hoes, and although there were various blades in their hands, their heads were wrapped in yellow scarves without exception. The leader called the battle, saying that he wanted revenge.

Fulong Villa is Guo Bin's root, there is Guan Hai in charge, although there are only 500 semi-full-time sergeants in the village, there are still 5,000 young and strong. These young men are all strong and strong, all of them have strong bows, and they are skilled in marksmanship, and they are more than enough to protect the manor. It's just that if you want to destroy the invading enemy, it is quite insufficient. Just because although everyone often goes into the mountains to hunt, they are not soldiers who have killed people and seen blood, and it is okay to defend according to the wall, but if they want to go out of the village to meet the enemy, it is difficult to get tight. Besides, Guan Hai's cautious and steady temperament, in order to protect Guo Bin's family business, how could he risk going out of the city?

Xu Shu analyzed the situation of the enemy and us, and believed that the enemy was outnumbered and should be defended by the city. Therefore, Zhao Yun told Guan Hai with a flying pigeon that Yangzhai County was worry-free, and Guan Hai should guard Fulong Villa and not go out of the city to fight. Guan Hai had already been instructed by Guo Bin, with Zhao Yun as the mainstay, and obeyed Zhao Yun's orders in everything. Moreover, the village is self-sufficient, and the materials are extremely abundant, even if it is besieged for several years, there is no risk of lack of materials. Therefore, Fulong Villa is as stable as Mount Tai.

As for Yangzhai County, because the army in the city is limited, only 1,000 people, and if the soldiers are divided to all parts of the city wall, they will be even more powerless to attack. In fact, the key is that Taiping Road started in a hurry and was not well prepared. For the siege of the city, there are not many ways except to erect a long ladder and attack the city with ants. However, this method is too costly, so no one will use it unless it is absolutely necessary. In addition, the remaining method of Taiping Dao is to scold and fight.

Moreover, when Taiping Dao first came, Zhao Yun once led a hundred soldiers out of the city to rush and kill, and Taiping Dao's spirit was greatly defeated. In addition, at the suggestion of Xu Shu, he informed the city that Guo Bin had to be appointed as the captain of the cavalry, commanding the world-famous Yue cavalry battalion, and would soon lead a large army to help. Therefore, although there were not many defenders in the city, everyone was sure of them.

After listening to the briefing and analysis of the current battle situation by the Special Military Department, Guo Bin was relieved. Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, and Guan Hai performed remarkably, and the response was also very appropriate, now it depends on how Guo Bin retreats from the enemy.

Guo Jia spoke first: "Our army is here, and there are six advantages. First, our army is cavalry, coming and going like the wind, while the enemy army is all infantry and slow; Second, our army is well-equipped and well-trained, while the enemy's army is neither fully equipped nor well trained, and is really a rabble; Third, the speed of our army's return to help must have exceeded the expectations of the enemy generals, and it was the enemy who was in the open and I was in the dark; Fourth, our army has carrier pigeons, and the three places can exchange information and cooperate in operations, while the enemy army does not even have war horses, and the intelligence is blocked; Fifth, when our army first arrived, its morale was at its peak, but the enemy army had been under the city for several days, and it was quite damaged, and its morale was bound to decline; Sixth, the grain and grass equipment stored here are enough to support our army, and the enemy army relies on plunder, and now there are many Wu forts everywhere in Yangzhai, and its gains will be less. This so-called six wins and six no wins. ”

The words made everyone's eyes shine, and everyone was gearing up for a while, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Seeing this, Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, and said: "What Guo Jia said is good, but the difference between the number of enemies and us is too big, as for how to deal with the enemy, it still needs to be carefully discussed, and the enemy must not be lightly attacked." ”

Guo Bin saw that Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia cooperated carefully, which not only stimulated his morale, but also did not become arrogant, so he relaxed his vigilance and felt very satisfied. War depends on prowess and morale, but the most important thing is intelligence. Only by adopting an appropriate strategy can we defeat the enemy.

At the moment, he said to Xi Zhicai: "Brother Zhicai, is there a clever way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Guo Bin didn't believe in the so-called sprinkling beans into soldiers seen in the book, but he was still looking forward to the strategists who had a clever plan to retreat from the enemy after pinching their fingers. Therefore, he looked at Xi Zhicai expectantly.

Xi Zhicai made his scalp numb, and said: "Lord, how can major events in the army be child's play?" Naturally, it is necessary to collect intelligence and make careful calculations before we can come up with a feasible plan. ”

Guo Bin had no choice but to nod sneeringly, it seems that even with the ability of drama talents, the so-called pinching of the fingers will not be able to do it. So the wise and demonic advisors written in the book of the previous life probably only exist in the book, right?

Guo Jiadao: "In my opinion, Taiping Dao is here, in terms of numbers alone, it is led by the army besieging Yangzhai County. Therefore, the leader of the thief army must be on Yang Zhai's side. ”

Guan Yu said: "What do you mean? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Capture the thief and capture the king!" The Taiping Road was hasty and poorly organized, and as long as its leader was killed, tens of thousands of troops could be broken at the snap of a finger. ”

Guo Bin's eyes lit up and said, "Not bad! However, how do you kill its leader? ”

Guan Yu said: "It will be difficult to assassinate at night. There is no shortage of masters in the Taiping Road, if you can succeed in one blow, then you can't get out, if you miss a blow, you will inevitably be entangled and can't get out. At that time, he was trapped in the enemy camp, and the masters of Taiping Dao took action to contain it, and tens of thousands of troops besieged it with all their might, and even the gods could not get out. ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "What's so difficult about that, just give me five hundred cavalry, and I can cut the general to capture the flag and behead the enemy leader under the horse!" ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Brother Yide, let's not talk about whether the five hundred cavalry can penetrate the enemy formation, where are the five hundred cavalry with you now?" Although the Vietnamese cavalry battalion can ride war horses, after all, it has not been in the army for a long time, how can it undertake such an important task? Although there are 300 special soldiers, and each of them can ride a war horse, one is ten. However, attacking the enemy's formation, brute force in vain is not his forte. Besides, most of our army's equipment is half-body leather armor, how can we defend against enemy arrow attacks? What if you can't penetrate the enemy camp and are under siege? ”

At this time, the Malay newspaper was found outside the door, saying that he had found a place to transport grain on Taiping Road.

Although the Taiping Road surrounded Yangzhai County, the Chinese army camp was at the east gate, which was not only open and flat, but also convenient for the large army to fight. It is even closer to Yingshui, as long as there are enough ships and manpower, it is not only convenient to transport grain and grass, but also convenient for transporting troops or withdrawing troops. Not only that, the north of Yangzhai City is deep in the mountains and old forests, after cutting down trees from the forest, put them in the Yingshui, and the logs can be used as raw materials for making siege equipment. Today, thousands of people are logging in the mountains north of the city. Taiping Road has not attacked the city in the past few days, presumably because it is necessary to make siege equipment.

Not only that, there are a lot of fish and shrimp in Yingshui, and there are also many wild animals in the mountains, which can help the shortage of military food, which is really a lot of money in one fell swoop.

Although he didn't know why Yingchuan Taiping Dao suddenly moved in advance and came to besiege Yangzhai, Guo Bin had to admire the other party's precision in timing and ingenious arrangement.

The news of Guo Bin's entry into Beijing is known to the world, and the news that he was appointed as a cavalry lieutenant and commanded the Yue cavalry camp was also issued to the world with a clear edict. Therefore, it can be said that under normal circumstances, Guo Bin will not return to Yangzhai County in the short term. Guo Bin's prestige and appeal in Yangzhai County are unimaginable, if he is in the city, even if there are 100,000 troops, he may not be able to conquer Yangzhai City. Therefore, if you want to take Yangzhai County, which is in the rear of Yingchuan County, this is the best time.

Moreover, Yangzhai County is located in a remote area, and the message transmission is not convenient enough, as long as Yangzhai County is tightly surrounded and the news is tightly sealed. When the news of Yangzhai's fall reached the capital, the daylilies were cold. In addition, it is already mid-February at this time, as long as the news is delayed until March, it is okay for the imperial court to know. At that time, the world's Taiping Road will be in trouble at the same time, who will have the leisure to know the small Yangzhai County?

It can be seen from this that Taiping Dao has never let go of the deployment of Yangzhai County as the rear base of the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County. I also know that no one wants to be attacked by the enemy on their backs, fighting on both sides, Yangzhai County cannot be conquered in one day, and the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County will be like a man on their backs for a day, and they can't sleep well.

However, admiration is admiration, and the problem Guo Bin has to face is: how to win more with less, drive out the Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhai County, and even annihilate it completely.

Calculating the balance of forces between the two sides, the Yellow Turban Army besieged nearly 10,000 people in Fulong Villa, plus 20,000 besieging Yangzhai County, which means that the enemy has a total of about 30,000 people.

Looking at Guo Bin's side again, there are 500 semi-full-time sergeants in Fulong Villa, 1,000 in Yangzhai County, 1,100 in the Yuecai Battalion, and after the 100 special soldiers who followed Guo Bin into Beijing returned, there were a total of 300 special soldiers. Therefore, Guo Bin's current military strength is only 2,900 people, which is less than one-tenth of the Yellow Turban Army.

The 500 sergeants in Fulong Villa and the 1,000 sergeants in Yangzhai City could not be mobilized because they had to defend various places separately, and Guo Bin was left with only 1,100 people from the Yue Cavalry Battalion plus 300 special soldiers. Of course, the advantage is not impossible, that is, Guo Bin returned to help quickly, and the enemy army does not know that Guo Bin has returned to Yangzhai at present. And what they couldn't imagine was that whether it was Fulong Villa or Yangzhai County, they could transmit information with carrier pigeons, and Guo Bin could understand the situation in the city at any time and fight in the city.
