"Tiger father has no dog! The tiger father has no dogs! Xia Yingyang looked up at the dome of the City Lord's Mansion and laughed, and there was even a glimmer of crystal in the corner of his eyes.

Zhao Fu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his guess was right.

"But it's not enough to be invincible." Xia Yingyang eased his emotions, put away his wine bag, and slowly stood beside Zhao Fu, "Undefeated is not equal to victory." ”

Xia Yingyang knew that if Zhao Fu was taught accordingly, or after accumulating enough experience on the battlefield, he would definitely become a famous general who was not inferior to his father, no, he might even become a person comparable to Lin Fengyi!

did not rush to analyze and guess the reasons for Hu Ren's retreat, but carefully analyzed the battle situation, this alone was enough for Zhao Fu to become a famous general. Famous generals, unlike those vulgar generals, for famous generals, war is a game, a game of pastime that must be won. They are beyond the existence of ordinary generals, because their rhythm is never messed up by the enemy.

There are many factors that determine a war, maybe it is the material, maybe it is the source of soldiers, or it is the personal quality of the general, and excellent generals will never be mastered by the war, they are more like gamers who are out of the battlefield, they are always good at controlling the war.

"Please advise!"

"Remember the smoke I told you about earlier?" Xia Yingyang asked with a smile.

Zhao Fu suddenly understood that he didn't need to think about the significance of Hu Ren's retreat, because maybe Hu Ren didn't retreat at all!

"Zheng Yuan?"

"Master, the time is the same as before." Zheng Yuan reports.

Since Xia Yingyang and Zhao Fu pointed out the cats in the Hu people's tent, Zhao Fu asked Zheng Yuan to calculate the time of cooking cigarettes on the opposite side in his spare time while practicing.

"That's a trick to lure the enemy." Xia Yingyang nodded: "Hu Ren still has brains over there." ”

"A trick to lure the enemy?"

Xia Yingyang then began to explain to Zhao Fu, and the content of his guess was not much different from what Hu Lude thought. This plan to lure the enemy is a common thing for a battle-hardened general like Xia Yingyang, not to mention that a commander has just died on the Lanhe side, and he will be wary of the plan, if he wants to reduce the defense of Valen's side at this time, he should not pretend to release the news of the withdrawal of troops, but should carry out several siege operations.

The biggest problem in the battle for Valen City this time is that both sides use the younger generation of generals, and the Lanhe Empire has sent the youngest in history, no, it should be called the youngest general, and the Hu people have also used all the young people of the brothers.

But unlike the Hu people, there is also a real veteran on the side of Valen City - Xia Yingyang.

Xia Yingyang is not an ordinary veteran, someone once made statistics, Xia Yingyang led the team to kill more Hu people than Ma Xiong and Feng Yu combined, Hu people can not be afraid of Ma Xiong, not afraid of Feng Yu, but if you know that the enemy is Xia Yingyang, you have to go to the shaman's side to pray for blessings before the battle.

Although Xia Yingyang exists as a reckless man in front of most people, Zhao Fu never thinks so, after the death of his father Zhao Yicheng, Xia Yingyang lost the biggest umbrella that protected him. Xia Yingyang, who was born in the Hu people, did not have much power, and his straightforward personality angered many people on weekdays, so Xia Yingyang began to drink very well-behaved, nominally because of the grief of the death of the old town guard, but in fact, it was to avoid suspicion. Even Kyoto has no way to do too much to punish such a loyal minister, but because of Zhao Yicheng's nameless murder, Xia Yingyang owes something to Xia Yingyang, so Xia Yingyang is still his commander, so when Zhao Fu grows up, no one can deprive him of his official position.

Among the three major commanders of Lanting City, the one who sat the most stable was not Feng Yu, who reviewed military affairs until midnight every day, not the boss of the city government, but Xia Yingyang, who was drinking wherever he went.

Xia Yingyang pointed out the Hu people's plan to the point, and gave a simple suggestion:

"If they want to act, then we will accompany them."

Acting? Zhao Fu is not very good at it, but he has played a good person all his life, and it will not be too difficult to think of it.

Zhao Fu immediately ordered to send additional scouts to investigate the reality of the Hu people's withdrawal and the direction of the withdrawal.

"Hahaha! Those Han people really couldn't help it. When Kiyura saw that the scouts had been sent out from all four gates of Valen, she knew that the news of the "withdrawal" of her side had "leaked".

"But they are very vigilant, and they even have to follow the direction of the withdrawal of troops, if we don't turn around and give a few arrows, I'm afraid they will keep following." A general in charge of the "withdrawal" reported.

"That's right, although the Han people are greedy and cunning, they are very timid, and they are not sure that they will not easily go out of the city to fight." Hu Lude always felt a little strange, but he didn't know what was strange. Perhaps because he was overly worried, Hu Lude could only think like this: "Tomorrow we will continue to 'withdraw troops'." ”

The withdrawal of the Hu troops lasted for three days, and after three days, the originally powerful base camp was now very depressed, and only a third of the camp tent remained.

And Zhao Fu's side also cooperated with the Hu people's withdrawal very tacitly: a large number of scouts were sent every day, and even a small group of light cavalry would be sent to harass them.

Three days later, both the Northwest Army on this side of the Lan River and those warriors in Beihu knew that a big battle was coming, which was the result of the joint efforts of both sides.

According to the usual practice, Zhao Fu sent several teams of light cavalry out of the city, and unlike before, he also sent a large number of archers to follow behind and sweep the formation. This time, it seems that the enemy's strength has really been reduced by half, and the light cavalry has easily broken through the enemy's defenses, and even the enemy's general banner can be seen very easily.

I tried many times in a row, and the number of troops put into the battlefield increased little by little, but each time I was only a little short of approaching the enemy's flag, and I was only a little short of completely breaking through the enemy's defenses.

"The Han people can't help it." Hutcht came to this conclusion.

Zhao Fu went from a harassment force composed of hundreds of light cavalry and scouts at the beginning to thousands of light cavalry to try to pull out the camp, and finally even sent out heavy cavalry.

"The play is almost over." Zhao Fu calculated his strength in his heart, and in the test just now, he had already invested all his mobile troops: 5,000 light cavalry and 2,000 heavy cavalry, but the other party had no intention of closing the net, and the plan was very big.

Zhao Fu also weighed it for a long time before putting all the seven thousand cavalry into the battlefield, and finally made a lot of determination to dare to do so, seven thousand cavalry is not much, but it is not a lot, especially this is all the mobile troops in Zhao Fu's hands.

If the other side really wants to capture Valen City in one fell swoop, then the seven thousand cavalry is insignificant, and the other party will definitely not close the net so quickly, because once he has no cavalry, he will definitely only rely on Valen's city defense for city defense battles, and that kind of outcome is not what the Hu people want to see.

Xia Yingyang stood on the city wall and looked at the seven thousand cavalry who were flying away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the wine bag and poured wine into his mouth, only to find that his wine bag was actually empty.

Of the 7,000 cavalry, more than 6,000 returned, and only more than 100 cavalry were lost, which was already a very low casualty. Zhao Fu's heart became apprehensive again-this time, how many troops would he have to send?

"Commander Xia is here." Just when Zhao Fu was anxious, Liu Anyuan informed Zhao Fu.

"Uncle Xia!" Zhao Fu was like seeing a savior.

Xia Yingyang didn't drink anymore, but asked Zheng Yuan for a cup, and Zheng Yuan only took out a teacup from the cabinet after asking Zhao Fu's consent.

"How many troops? Or is it better to have seven thousand? Xia Yingyang drank tea and smiled lightly.

The Hu people wanted to swallow the forces that Zhao Fu used to defend the city, but if Zhao Fu did not send enough troops, it would be tantamount to ...... Invincible! Either let the Hu people ask for their own hardship!

"Seeing that the plan to lure the enemy does not work, they will definitely pretend to withdraw their troops, and at this time, we can just strike a thunderbolt blow." Xia Yingyang said as he blew the hot air coming out of the teacup.

Hu Lude was so angry that he couldn't speak, Zhao Fu just sent these cavalry out every time, and both sides suffered losses on both sides, but in general, their casualties were even heavier, and the most important thing was that even if they knew that this was a trick to lure the enemy, the morale of the army could not be raised.

"Otherwise, we'll eat these seven thousand cavalry!" Kiyula was worried about the morale of the army, and as long as he could eat the seven thousand Lan River cavalry, he could immediately save the situation.

"No way!" Hu Lude was very determined: "The whole army pulls out the camp and retreats!" ”

"I don't believe they don't leave the city yet!" Hulud gritted his teeth and glared at the city of Valen.

Hulude's plan finally worked, and this time the gates of Valen were wide open, and the 30,000 defenders were out. Just as Hu Lude was so excited that he was about to give the order to attack, the news came that the flank had been crushed by the Lan River army.

"This! How is this possible! "Hulude looked at the seven thousand cavalry not far away, wasn't the cavalry of Valen City in front of him? Where are the other 7,000 cavalry?

If Hulud could see clearly, he would probably be able to guess what was happening, and the seven thousand cavalry under the city of Valen were said to be cavalry, but they were far less than the elite. Although the black oppression of the seven thousand cavalry can easily give people a sense of oppression, these cavalry are wearing the armor of infantry.

Although there are not many cavalry in the Lanhe Empire, all of them are elite soldiers, and a cavalry will be equipped with at least two war horses on weekdays, and the northwest is an important source of horses for the Lanhe Empire, so the cavalry in the northwest has a luxurious lineup of one soldier and three horses. In other words, if the continuous combat capability of the cavalry is not taken into account, then the number of cavalry in the northwest of the Lanhe Empire can be multiplied by three times!

Xia Yingyang had already taken away the real elite cavalry and ambushed it, and it was the infantry on horses who went out of the city to fight, everyone in the northwest could ride horses, and the Hu people were deliberately releasing water, so they didn't show their stuffing.
