There is nothing wrong with this plan, it is deeply rooted in the essence of "I will only go all the way", and it can concentrate forces to defeat scattered opponents. The only unfortunate thing was that the target selected by the Liyang army was Ding Feng's Nanban battalion......

It was not only Ma Zhong and Ma Jian who felt fortunate in the camp, but the other soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Sizheng's Longyi Battalion is the most garbage, except for being sent to rest and renovate the fortifications, it is not of much use at all. He couldn't help laughing at himself, "Fortunately, they are fighting the head of Ding Junhou's battalion, if my Dragon Wing battalion is guarding there, I am afraid that our heads will be hanging on the city at this time." ”

Li Fei was cautious and reminded, "Lord, let's not answer questions." This is just that they sent soldiers and horses to the city, and more soldiers and horses are still hiding in the city and not showing their heads. The Liyang Army plus those heroic and powerful troops, to say the least, there are seven or eight thousand. No matter how strong Ding Junhou's Nanban battalion is, there are about 400 people, and if they really want to fight hard, the collapse may only be a matter of moments. ”

Ma Zhong listened to it and was very approving, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the other sects?" Can you send out manpower? ”

Li Fei was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "My lord, Ximen is guarded by Cen Junhou's Huozi battalion, and he is the only one in the camp there, so he can't leave at all."

The coach of the south gate is Bailichuan, but unfortunately his Shanzi camp is weak, and it has not been strengthened, and the head of the Leshui camp assigned to him has also been stripped of a layer of skin, and if it moves, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

At the east gate are Kong Jiao and Ji Li, two military marquises, who ...... It can only be regarded as a small battalion head, and the combined strength is not as large as the Huozi Battalion and the Nanban Battalion. ”

Ma Zhong frowned when he heard this, he originally felt that there were enough soldiers and horses, but now he was a little stretched to just lead a battle.

After Li Fei finished speaking, he reminded again, "It's just the beginning of the fight now, and the situation is still unclear, maybe the Liyang Army will attack the west again?" The soldiers and horses at the head of the other battalions, I don't think it's easy to move. ”

Ma Zhong rubbed his brows and shouted irritably, "It's not easy to move, it's not easy to move, why don't you let Lao Tzu take the Longyi Battalion to fight with Zhang Liao!" Hum! ”

Li Fei saw that Ma Zhong was angry, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ma Jian was suddenly shocked.

, Ma Zhong doesn't seem to have come up with any way to hear this!

That's a good idea!

No, Ma Jian has to confirm this matter quickly.

Ma Jian hurriedly asked, "Lord, you asked your subordinates to inform that they were going to hold on until night, could it be that you have already made up your mind here?" ”

Ma Zhong looked at Ma Tan's panicked appearance and couldn't help but shake his head.

This horse is still a little tender.

Ma Zhong then nodded, "That's what I said. ”

Ma Tan hurriedly asked, "What does the lord mean?" What's the plan? ”

Ma Zhong glared at Ma Jian and said impatiently, "Leave tomorrow's affairs to tomorrow's worries, let's keep today's for Lao Tzu first." ”

……

Ma Tan almost grabbed the ground with his head when he heard this, what is the reason for this?

Lao Tzu thinks you have some tricks, so you just play with me like this?

Li Fei saw that Ma Yan's face was ugly, and hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand when you join the army, the adults are just joking with you." ”

Then explained, "The Liyang army is menacing, and there are giant crossbows to suppress it, I'm afraid that the news that Zhang Liao came to attack with elite soldiers can't hide it." At this time, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, so the lord strictly ordered that it must be kept until night, giving each battalion a hope. ”

Ma Tan was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but retort, "But there is no joke in the army, as soon as this order is issued, the front-line soldiers will arrange operations with the goal of guarding until nightfall, and I am afraid that the places that could have been held longer will also be used to exchange time." In this way, how will the battle be fought in the future? ”

Li Fei said unhurriedly, "Don't be angry when you join the army, please listen to what I say." The lord had already made preparations when he first set up camp. ”

"Oh?" When Ma Tan heard Li Fei say this, his heart eased, and he hurriedly glanced at Ma Zhong, and saw that Ma Zhong couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

Li Fei was about to speak, but Ma Zhong said impatiently, "Since Lao Tzu has sealed the gate of Liyang City, do you think Lao Tzu has so much leisure to dig a trench and surround Liyang City?" ”

Ma Tan was a little loyal to Ma Zhong, as if he remembered something in his heart, and the cat scratched the cat uncomfortably.

His heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the scene he had seen from the watchtower.

- The trenches where the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Battalion were hiding from the giant crossbows were like zombie snakes in the camp!

Ma Yan's eyes immediately lit up, "What does the lord mean!?" ”

Li Fei saw that Ma Zhong was a little impatient, and hurriedly explained for him, "The lord's intention is naturally to resist the wave of the Liyang army first, and then organize soldiers and horses to dig the trench to the moat at night. The moat here is the living water that leads to the Wujiang River, which is not only abundant in water, but also very turbulent! ”

"That's right!" Ma Zhong said.

At this time, a picture immediately flashed in his eyes.

When building a camp and digging a trench, Ma Jian also carefully reminded Ma Zhong not to dig through the moat, otherwise, the water in the moat would flood in, and the whole camp would be finished.

Ma Jian remembered clearly, Ma Zhong smiled and patted his shoulder after hearing this, and said, "Well said." ”

Li Fei continued, "What's more, the water level in Liyang City is very high close to the river, and when we dig a well, it doesn't take much effort to dig through the soil layer, and it can also come in handy when the time comes." ”

"That's right!" Ma Tan nodded speechlessly.

Another image flashed in his eyes.

That's when he rolled down the trench, digging his fingers at the dirt, and then staring at the damp dirt in his nails with a headache.

Then he dragged a lot of hay from the surroundings and slept beautifully under the mat.

By the time he woke up, the hay was already damp.

Ma Tan's cleverness allowed him to judge that the tunnel was too humid at the first time, and it would be very cold at night.

He added hay to himself, and when he was halfway asleep, he hid in the dry tent, not thinking at all that these useful details could be used as a basis for decision-making in Ma Zhong's place.

Li Fei continued, "So the lord has decided to wait until nightfall, and then introduce the water of the moat into the trench, and by the way, connect the trench with the tunnels dug by the Liyang army, and when the time comes, when the water from the moat pours in, hum, I'm afraid that this large area outside the city will become muddy." However, there are fortifications and traps dug in these muddy fields, and when the Liyang Army wakes up, I am afraid that they will cry without tears. Such a large swamp, if they want to fight again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Ma Jian sighed when he heard this, "Okay! In this way, the threat of the Liyang Army is minimized, so ...... So how to deal with Zhang Liao? ”
