In the Lidu City, the people talked about the loss of the Landu City. As the aborigines of western Bactria, Landu City has always been the Iron Curtain of Bactria. Even in that battle more than 20 years ago, Landu City did not fall into the hands of the enemy. But now, Landu City was lost in the hands of Fang Jiye.

The people of the capital city began to become panicked. After all, as soon as Landu City is lost, Lidu City is about to become the forefront position. Many people who fled began to choose to leave Lidu City to find a safer place to live.

Zhang Ruming, who had not long been married, finally had a place to use, and led people to lobby everywhere to stabilize the uneasy mood of the people in the city. Li Jianshan also convened the county guards to discuss how to accept more refugees.

In the camp of Lidu City, Duan Lang saw that the soldiers of Landu City were very low, and some of them were even embarrassed to go to the street to buy things. In desperation, Duan Lang ordered to continue the drill, so that the crazy drill mode of the soldiers and horses in the capital city changed the depressed mood of these people.

In the handsome tent, Duan Lang, Tangtai Mingyue and others looked at the drawings of the ladder to climb the city, and analyzed the battle situation of Landu City in detail. Especially when he learned that Shen Qishan led five thousand dead soldiers out of the city to kill, Duan Lang and the others couldn't help but be a little moved.

Duan Lang looked at his generals and asked, "If I encounter the same attack on the capital city, how will I respond?" ”

Cui Zhiliang took the lead and said, "Duan Shuai, the soldiers and horses of my capital city are different from those of Lan Ducheng. The Western Vietnamese army dared to set up a formation outside the city, of course, it was better to defend than to attack, and directly kill it. ”

"If I were the coach of Xiyue, I would put out a hook and sickle formation and a longbow formation in front of the formation. Then he pressed forward step by step, and stopped less than two arrows from the city gate. The cavalry of Lidu City will be forced to be within a distance of less than two arrows when they go out of the city, and when the time comes, I will give the order to attack directly with catapults. General Cui, with such a layout, how many soldiers and horses do you have left? ”

Cui Zhiliang was stunned, if they really wanted to encounter such a layout, they would not be able to impact the enemy formation at all, and could only be beaten passively. Unless you retreat back into the city, you can only stand and wait for death.

"Princess Mingyue, if you encounter such a battle formation, of course you can't send cavalry. If it were me, I would tear each other apart with a chariot. Wang Fuzhong said.

Yutai Mingyue said lightly, "General Wang, don't forget that the longbow array is not only for shooting chasers, they can also shoot rockets. I have observed the new chariots designed by Nalumu, and if they are attacked by the enemy with rockets, these chariots will become live targets, and there is no room for survival. ”

The people of Landu City were speechless when they refuted by Lantai Mingyue, and Feng Ming and Wei Du did not speak, but they knew that what Tangtai Mingyue said was very reasonable. If you really put on such a formation and press step by step, the ladder will eventually push under the city gate.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Tantai Mingyue said, "Generals, Mingyue is not saying this to undermine everyone's confidence. I just want you to know that although the cavalry in Lidu City is powerful, it is not without flaws. However, any war is fast-moving and cannot be generalized. For example, General Shen Qishan of Landu City did a very good job, but at that time, General Fang was too focused on defense and missed the opportunity. ”

As soon as Mingyue's voice fell, Wei Duteng stood up suddenly, "Princess Mingyue, are you accusing Fang Shuai of making a mistake in command!" ”

Tantai Mingyue said calmly, "General Wei is angry, let's sum up our experience and talk about things, and I don't mean to belittle anyone in Landu City, let alone General Fang." ”

"And what do you mean by your missed opportunity?" Wei asked unconvinced.

Tantai Mingyue looked at everyone, "Actually, General Fang should fight on his back and send all the cavalry to sweep the enemy's infantry and horses. It is even said that it is also used along with the tank battalion in the city, and how many are sent. Han Pingzi was confident that you would not dare to go out of the city, so he pressed the army of soldiers and horses to climb the city, forming a surging trend that made Landu City tired of fighting. ”

Speaking of this, Tantai Mingyue looked at Zhou Long, and then said, "General Zhou Long, if you are given 30,000 cavalry, plus 200 taels of chariots, can you deal with 100,000 infantry soldiers and horses?" ”

When Zhou Long heard this, he said disdainfully, "Absolutely sweep!" ”

Yutai Mingyue looked at Wei Du, "General Wei, this is the good opportunity I said." ”

"Princess Mingyue, don't forget that the other party also has cavalry and chariot battalions. At that time, it was because they also sent cavalry that Shen Qishan fell into the siege of the army. Feng Ming tried his best to argue.

Yutai Mingyue said solemnly, "General Feng, General Wei, there will be losses in any battle. If the minimum price is exchanged for the greatest gain, this is the way to go. At that time, more than 100,000 horses and horses in Western Vietnam were fighting in the city, and if Landu City sent all the cavalry and chariots, it would definitely cause chaos for the infantry guards outside the city. At that time, they would instead become an obstacle to the Western Vietnamese cavalry and chariots. Even if they fight to the end, most of the cavalry in Landu City can withdraw to the city. However, the infantry soldiers and horses of the West Vietnam will definitely suffer heavy losses. I think Landu City can afford such a price. On the contrary, it was Han Pingzi of West Vietnam who could not bear such a loss. ”

Feng Ming and Wei Du looked at each other, although they wanted to argue for Landu City, but as war generals, they knew that what Tangtai Mingyue said was indeed reasonable. Thinking about it now, all the generals at that time, including Fang Jiye, focused on defense. It is even said that even in the battle deliberations at night, no one has proposed to take the initiative.

Duan Lang saw that Feng Wei and the others were a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Yue'er, if we face the Xiyue army in the capital city, or just the layout you just made, will we just watch them attack the city?" ”

Liu Xusheng also said, "Yes, the Hook Sickle Formation and the Longbow Formation are both the nemesis of the cavalry, since Princess Mingyue said that the chariot is useless, then how should we deal with it?" ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang and smiled faintly, "I didn't say that the chariot is useless, in fact, any war is ever-changing." As the defender, the enemy does not move, I do not move, and only when the enemy acts can we formulate corresponding strategies. If it's the formation just now, then use the chariot to fight. Whether it is a hook or a shield or a longbow formation, they are simply unable to stop in the face of the impact of the chariot. ”

"Yue'er, you just said that once the enemy attacks with rockets, the chariot will become a live target." Duan Lang reminded.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Yutai Mingyue smiled slightly, "This chariot is not the other chariot, I not only want to make these chariots a living target, but also let them turn into burning giant beasts and rush towards the enemy camp." Lu Mu's design left a flaw, but this flaw can also be turned into a weapon to control the enemy. Generals, what would happen if three hundred straw carts piled high with fuel rushed to the enemy camp. Our side will lose nothing more than 600 horses, but the enemy army will surely fall into disarray. When the time comes, the cavalry of our capital city will be the scythe that harvests life, and can crush the enemy army for thousands of miles. ”

"Good!" Liu Xusheng stroked his palms and praised.

Duan Lang couldn't help but nodded in admiration, if this was the case, the Western Yue army would not have time to organize an effective counterattack, and the cavalry army in Lidu City would kill it. The price of exchanging six hundred horses for the chaos of the opposing army's army is almost negligible. Even with the addition of three hundred driving guards, this loss Duan Lang was completely acceptable.

Feng Ming and Wei Du were also secretly admired, and they couldn't help but be impressed by the shrewdness of Yutai Mingyue. In the minds of these old generals, all the battle situation corresponds to the step-by-step plan, and once there is an accident, they are a little dazed. It's like facing the new climbing ladder of Xiyue, and the correspondence from the beginning is a bit wrong. If not, it would not have paid such a heavy price.

Duan Lang always felt that as long as there was a strong army, he could sweep everything with sharp killing. But after listening to these layouts of Tantai Mingyue, Duan Lang is also deeply reviewing himself. It seems that Tangtai Mingyue is indeed a qualified military advisor.

In the face of the enemy army, Duan Lang relied on his keen nature and decisive ability to act in the mountains and forests. But in terms of marching formation, he is indeed inferior to Mingyue, who has been familiar with military books since he was a child.

After everyone finished studying the defense, they began to study the siege strategy again. If the Western Vietnamese army does not come, they will always fight back to the city of Landu. But for the return to attack the Lan Capital, Tai Mingyue was a tough block. After all, the good attack of the army of Lidu City is in the vast ground battle. In the face of the tall city walls, this aspect is the weakness of the capital city. If you want to counterattack the city of Landu, you must train a strong army of foot soldiers to climb the city. Fortunately, the new army will arrive soon, and the 200,000 new troops will be able to make up for the shortcomings in this regard with their professional training. After a polemic, Tangtai Mingyue convinced the generals present. Relying on years of accumulation and erudition, Tangtai Mingyue finally won the respect of everyone and became the female military division of the Lidu City army.

In Kyoto, Great Xia, the Investigation Division soon received the news of the defeat of Landu City. Knowing that Fang Jiye was killed in battle and the loss of the Lan capital city, Xiangguo Yu Ban was both happy and worried. He was glad that the Seventh Prince, Delong, had lost a strong supporter, but he was worried that Lidu City would not be able to stop the soldiers and horses of Western Vietnam. After all, in the eyes of the Kyoto generals, Landu City is an orthodox strong soldier, while Duan Lang's Lidu City is just a strange army. Even the Lan capital city has been breached, can he Duan Lang stop the pace of Xiyue?

In the Xiangguo Mansion, Yu Ban looked at Zhu Wenjun, the squire of the military department, and asked, "Lord Zhu, from your point of view, is the defeat of the Landu City too strong in the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses, or is it a mistake in Fang Jiye's strategy?" ”

"Lord Xiangguo, Xia Guan thinks that it is likely to be Fang Jiye's reason. The city of Landu is so big and there are so many soldiers and horses, even if it is replaced by a mediocre talent, it is impossible to lose it in three days. Although the specific battle report has not yet been delivered to the Ministry of War, the lower officer believes that this battle is likely to be caused by Fang Jiye's carelessness. Since the founding king ordered the establishment of the city, the city has stood for a hundred years without falling. Unexpectedly, it was lost in the hands of Fang Jiye. Once Xiyue takes root in Landu City, it will be difficult to recapture it. Zhu Wenjun said with a sigh.

"Recaptured? Hmph, the old man is worried about whether the capital city can stand it. Once the capital city is lost, my Great Xia Kyoto will be in danger. ”

Zhu Wenjun nodded, "It's not impossible, even if Duan Lang wins a few games, he is inexperienced after all." In my opinion, it is necessary to mobilize 200,000 men and horses from the southern theater to garrison the lower pass to prevent accidents. ”

Yu Ban stroked his beard, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, this is a good idea." 200,000 can be mobilized from among Ma Ruzheng's people. However, those who are in charge of these 200,000 soldiers and horses can be replaced by our people. ”

Zhu Wenjun was stunned for a moment, "What does Lord Xiangguo mean, is ~ only transferring troops and not generals?" But in that case, I'm afraid it will need to be stamped with a jade seal. Otherwise, Ma Ruzheng would definitely not agree. ”

"Tomorrow morning, you will inform everyone of this. The loss of Landu City is inescapable, and this minister will make a fuss about Delong. If Prince Hong wants to keep Delong's succession, he must hand over the men and horses in Ma Ruzheng's hands. Choosing one of the two, the prime minister believes that Prince Hong will choose the latter. ”

"The soldiers of the Landu City and Fang Jiye died in battle, will the whole country mourn?"

"Sealed? Hum! The world must be notified that Fang Jiye and others must be held accountable for losing the responsibility of the century-old Iron Curtain. As for Delong, even if Prince Hong protects him, he must be ordered to reflect on and be fined for one year. ”

Xiangguo Yu Ban's eyes were cold, this matter was a painful thing for the entire Great Xia, but it was very favorable news for the crown prince Dezhang. Of course, Yu Ban will not let go of this opportunity, he wants to let the people of the whole world know that the main responsibility for the loss of Landu City lies with Delong. will even use this incident to completely nail the Western Theater to the pillar of shame. Even if the war is pacified in the future, Delong and others will lose the support of the people.

Zhu Wenjun looked at Yu Ban's cold face, he knew that tomorrow's morning dynasty would seem to be about to set off a storm again. It's just that I don't know if Prince Hong, who has been guarding the Lan capital for many years, can accept this fact. You must know that reprimanding the generals of Landu City is equivalent to slapping Prince Hong's old face.
