Chapter 87: The moat is filled

Pay me back!

You're my grandfather's!

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke!"

Bai Muye responded incoherently, no matter how thick-skinned he was, it was inevitable that his face would be a little hot at the moment.

The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the light opened to the sun......

Pei Shiju was shocked by this poem and the three souls and seven spirits were like shells, and he kept reminiscing about it, but Bai Muye had already cast his eyes outside the city, but he unexpectedly saw that the moat was almost flush with the bank, and there were still a lot of water stains on the bank.

It wasn't like that before!

"Vice General Guo, what's wrong with this moat?"

A trace of worry flashed on Guo Tong's rugged face: "Last night, the enemy army outside the city dumped mud into the river in a remote place, and it was not discovered by the soldiers in the city until dawn, and only one was killed by a few arrows. I sent someone to check quietly, and sure enough, the river upstream was blocked, and these people wanted to fill in the trench and release water so that they could attack the city! ”

"At their rate, how long will it take to fill it up?" Bai Muye also frowned.

Guo Tong glanced at Pei Shiju, and when he saw that this old Shangshu signaled himself to say boldly, he replied truthfully: "No more than five days!" ”

"What about sending someone to dig up the source and wash away the sediment?"

"They will be guarded by a large number of men, and there is no chance of victory! Besides, there are no rapids, so you may not be able to rush away. ”

Although the answer was not satisfactory, Bai Muye still seemed unusually calm: "Then let them fill in!" It's a big deal! ”

Guo Tong snorted coldly and disagreed.

It seems that Liu Heimin is determined to attack the city!

The big flag hanging high in the enemy camp in the distance was waving in the wind, because the weather was sunny, and the word "Liu" on the big flag with black characters on a white background was clearly visible, which made Bai Muye really angry.

Even innocent people are not spared, do you still have the face to hang this commander's flag?

The camp on the opposite side has changed its position, from the original place about ten miles away from the city to the direction of the city much closer, now it is less than five miles, so standing on the high city tower, you can probably see the scene in the other camp.

Liu Heimin claimed to be 10,000 horses, and later said that he was seconded 5,000 Turkic elite soldiers, how could he, an exiled general, get another 5,000 Xia troops? Therefore, the truth of Bai Muye's initial conjecture was that Liu Heimin, a bare-pole general, took five thousand seconded Turkic soldiers, plus probably gathered some remnants of troops halfway, and estimated that the entire camp was less than seven or eight thousand people!

But in fact, there is another Turkic team of nearly 20,000 people rushing to Zhaozhou, intending to take this opportunity to annex all the territories of Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, in one fell swoop - this point even Liu Heimin didn't know, it was asked from the mouth of the Turkic soldier who was scared last night.

What he said should be quite credible, according to his own account, he is still a squad leader among the Turkic soldiers!

At present, the army of 8,000 people cannot encircle the city at all, so it can only divide troops to guard the city gate, which can be seen from the scale of the opponent's camp.

Three city gates, but I don't know how Liu Heimin's soldiers will be distributed, on average, that is, more than 2,000 people besiege a city gate.

Pei Shiju and Guo Tong brought back a thousand soldiers and horses from other cities, and after the inventory yesterday, it was only seven hundred, plus the original soldiers defending the city were about two thousand, so they were counted as half of them, and suddenly rushed out from a city gate to attack the camp, at most, it was just a dozen or four!

If the tactics are correct and they can find their weak points to break through, they still have a very good chance of winning, and if they come out, they may be able to turn the tables!

Bai Muye wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Turkic soldiers had not yet arrived, and first wiped out the group outside, so that the two groups of people could join forces together, and they couldn't deal with this little bit of people in the city alone!

Besides, after interrogating the Turkic soldier, although he warned everyone present at that time that they were not allowed to publicize the imminent arrival of the Turkic army, but after all, there are many people, and he is not afraid to let the people in the city know, and it will be troublesome if Liu Heimin knows about it!

Since the Turks were hiding the matter of Liu Heimin's march, they must have to clean him up as well.

If Liu Heimin knew the news, if he hadn't been instigated to give up the city and run away, he would have made a desperate attempt to attack the city in advance.

Although there are basically a bunch of ideas for self-defense and counterattack on his side, they are all immature, so the initiative must not fall into the hands of Liu Heimin!

But after all, it was the first time to lead troops to fight, and he still had to rely on Guo Tong in terms of tactics, but the other party's attitude really made Bai Muye very uncomfortable.

Bai Muye set up a pergola and looked hard at Liu Heimin's camp, trying to see some doorways.

There are often people walking around the camp, going back and forth in line by line, and the guards are heavily guarded.

It seems that Liu Heimin has not become vigilant because of his absolute superiority, after all, from a historical point of view, this person is still a bit talented!

On the other hand, Bai Muye, the soldier on his side, glanced back at the defenders of the city wall on the left.

Although the back is also straight and the armor is strong, I always feel that there is a little less evil in my eyes, and there is a lot more vanity.

What's the panic?

If you look to the right, this one is exactly the same!

How can you fight a war when you are in turmoil?

Isn't it time to set up a pre-war mobilization squad?

Bai Muye was a little helpless, and asked Guo Tong, who was staring at the camp outside the city: "General Guo, I want to concentrate the soldiers to break through from a city gate, is there any good strategy?" ”

Guo Tong glanced at him, probably because of Pei Shiju's presence, although he was disdainful in his heart, his tone was still much softer than when he first met.

"Nope."

No way? Is this what you should say as a general?

It's so sad...

Probably because Guo Tong saw that Bai Muye's expression was too disdainful, so in order to prove himself, he patiently explained.

"What's the use of breaking through one place? There are no reinforcements, and it's not for the thieves to surround and kill! ”

"Besides, there must be enough people in the city to defend it, otherwise it will be easy for the enemy to take advantage of it from other directions!"

"When King Xia led his troops to the battle, the garrison in the city had been reduced to the maximum, and besides, it was when there was peace and quiet in Zhaozhou. Now that the soldiers are in the city, the number of garrisons can only increase, not decrease! So now we can only use Pei Shangshu and the less than 1,000 people I brought back. ”

After listening to it, Bai Muye felt that what Guo Tong said was very reasonable, now there are no foreign reinforcements in Zhaozhou, and no soldiers can go out to contain the enemy, as long as they move slightly, it is easy for people to seize the flaw and destroy the regiment!

It seems that marching and fighting cannot be taken for granted!

Bai Muye suddenly became less resistant to Guo Tong.

He tugged at the stubble that came out of his chin again and again, and his nails broke the flesh without paying attention. I looked down at my nails - these nails cut with a knife just don't work, and they're too sharp!
