Chapter 100: The Problem of the Three Thousand Wolf Knights

After resting for a few hours, Li Gengyun's spirit was much better, so he asked the soldiers to take him to Song Qing, because the physical exertion was a little great, so he rested under his arrangement.

"Sir, the general is still resting."

The soldier took Li Gengyun to the city tower of Xianyang Pass, and the soldiers guarding him told him that Song Qing was still resting in the rest room of the city tower.

"Okay, General Song has worked hard enough these days, so let's not bother him for now." Li Gengyun nodded, looking at the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city were all soldiers from Pingyang Pass, and he also felt a lot more at ease in his heart, now Xianyang Pass is in their hands, but next, what they have to face is the three thousand wolf knights who returned empty-handed, what Li Gengyun hopes now is that those wolf knights will still go to Pingyang Pass and come back.

That way, they would have more time to prepare the fortifications, and he would have more time to deploy a strategy to wipe out the wolf knights. But the worst plan now is that the wolf knights will rush back after seeing Qian Yuan's troops die. Turning back halfway has both pros and cons. This will minimize the length of the march, but in the same way, those wolf knights will definitely cause excessive physical exertion due to continuous travel, which will affect their combat effectiveness. Maybe when they arrived at Xianyang Pass, they were no longer able to fight?

"After an hour, be sure to wake up General Song, I want to discuss with him......"

"Hey, Mr. Li, why are you here, how can you rest?"

At this time, Song Qing suddenly walked out of the lounge and saw that Li Gengyun was instructing his guards to work, so he greeted the other party with a smile, and then beckoned him to enter the lounge to discuss together.

"Mr. Lee."

As soon as Song Qing spoke, Li Gengyun nodded with a smile and said to him: "General Song, the three thousand wolf knights should arrive at Xianyang Pass in about two hours, and I came this time to ask General Song to prepare." Whether to stick to the Xianyang Pass or go all out, we need to discuss this. ”

"This ......"

Li Gengyun's question asked Song Qing, and he had also considered whether the three thousand wolf knights would return to Xianyang Pass after they found out that Pingyang Pass was an empty city. However, in his calculations, it would take at least two or three days for these wolf knights to rush from Xianyang Pass to Pingyang Pass, and then from Pingyang Pass back to Xianyang Pass, but Li Gengyun actually said that the three thousand wolf knights would arrive at Xianyang Pass in two hours, so there was a mistake in his own calculation, and he did not budget the possibility of the wolf knights returning halfway.

But none of this matters anymore, what matters is how to deal with the wolf knight who will reach the Manifestation Pass in about two hours.

"Have all the soldiers at Xianyang Pass been properly placed?"

Li Gengyun saw that Song Qing didn't react for a long time, so he also knew it, so he continued to ask Song Qing a few questions: "If the three thousand wolf knights forcibly attack the city, how sure is General Song?" If we were to go into a field of annihilation, would General Song be able to kill them all in one fell swoop? ”

"Mr. Li, the soldiers of Xianyang Pass have been arranged, and in addition to the more than 2,000 wounded brothers, among the remaining soldiers, there are more than 1,800 archers and more than 4,300 infantry. These archers have been assigned to me and have now been assigned to the four gates to be guarded, and more than 1,300 other infantry have been arranged for them to conduct drills, ready to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

"Although the three thousand wolf knights are brave in battle, they belong to lightly armed troops, and they do not have many siege equipment, at most, they just build a ladder to climb the city tower to fight. The walls of Xianyang Pass were ten meters high, and if they wanted to attack the city, three thousand wolf knights would probably not be enough. The archers in my hands are not vegetarians either. ”

Song Qing knew very well that the wolf knights belonged to the elite infantry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and their mobility was only ranked second to the cavalry, and their combat effectiveness was also very strong, but in order to pursue mobility, all the wolf knights were lightly armed and would not be equipped with too many weapons and armor. So Song Qing had already calculated that if the wolf knight dared to come to the project, then he could mobilize all the archers and shoot them into a sieve.

But he thought that since Li Gengyun asked about the probability of winning the battle in the wild, then Li Gengyun must be more inclined to annihilate the wolf knight in the field, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I believe you know the combat effectiveness of the wolf knight better than me, since Mr. Li has already made a plan, please don't sell it, I'm also in a hurry." ”

"No, in fact, I didn't make a plan, I just thought that if General Song could be sure to annihilate this group of wolf knights in the wild, then it would be bothering General Song to lead the army out of the city to fight. Hehe, how is it, General Song......"

Li Gengyun will not fall into Song Qing's trap so easily, it is obvious that the other party is not sure to annihilate the wolf knights, of course, fighting with the wolf knights in the wild, the combat effectiveness of the three thousand wolf knights will definitely not be worse than the ten thousand infantry. It's just that if it's a half-tired wolf knight, it's hard to say.

"Be careful, so I think General Song can concentrate all the archers at the west gate, which is the gate of the city where they enter and exit this time. I don't think these wolf knights should know that Xianyang Pass has been captured by us, as long as they return to the city, hehe, you know! ”

As he spoke, a treacherous smile appeared on Li Gengyun's face, and he squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows at Song Qing.

"Hey, hey, got it!"

Li Gengyun had planned the operation of destroying the two hundred wolf knights in Pingyang Pass before, and the final result was very successful, of course, there was another key point in this step of planning, that is, archers. At that time, there were only a few dozen archers in Pingyang Pass, and only a few dozen arrows could be shot in one round. But now it's different, Song Qing has more than 1,800 archers in his hands, and in the face of the wolf knight who has no armor defense, he is a moving arrow target, for those archers to practice. And in the city at close range, it only takes two rounds to put down more than half of it, and then six thousand infantry presses up, dealing with the wolf knights who are tired from marching, and there will be a good result.

When Song Qing heard what Li Gengyun said, he immediately understood the other party's thoughts, and he also raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Li is really a genius!" ”

"Prizes, prizes! Hehe, then ask General Song to make a good deployment, I still have to participate less in this kind of thing in the future, it is easy to lose fortune if you hurt too many lives, go first! ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Li!"

Song Qing admired Li Gengyun's five-body throw, and in just a few days, under Li Gengyun's planning, he changed from a subordinate prisoner in Pingyang Pass to a general with 10,000 subordinates, and he also controlled the entire Xianyang Pass. Almost all the successes he achieved were given by Li Gengyun, but this Li Gengyun didn't seem to care at all whether he had military power, but completely handed it over to himself, which made Song Qing also start to think about what Li Gengyun wanted, and what was his purpose in doing this?
