"This Gilikreh tribe belongs to a branch of the Western Turks, and there are less than 20,000 tribes in Dingkou, and the whole clan can make up five or six thousand horsemen, which is not a big tribe."

"The Gilikret tribe is nominally loyal to the Persian king, but in fact they do not listen to the announcement, often go their own way, rob the surrounding tribes and caravans, and have also invaded the territory of our Anxi many times, although they have been repelled by our Anxi army many times, but each time it is either a touch of collapse or fleeing from the wind, my Anxi army has not gained much, and then it will not be long before it will come back, annoying."

Speaking of the combat style of the Gilly Kerei Division, Cheng Yun looked disdainful

"Since this group of Turks has harassed the territory of Anxi many times, and their strength is not strong, why did Anxi not send a large army to destroy them directly." In Pan Xiaogu's impression, Datang's style should be very heroic, if you don't accept it, you will be, until you are obedient

Cheng Yun sighed when he heard this and said: "A hundred years ago, when I encountered such a clown who jumped off the beam, I Anxi would definitely have raised an army to destroy him, but now Anxi is powerless. ”

Seemingly unwilling to talk about it, Cheng Yun brought the topic back to the battle.

"Your Excellency, the commander feels that this time he should not retreat to the lonely city, but should let the new army form a formation under the city, fight against the city, and then let the townsmen bravely go to the city to help the battle, and play more banners to strengthen the momentum. In this way, the Gilekret tribe will not dare to move lightly, and the expedition of their laborers will not last, and will soon retreat on their own. ”

This idea was actually from Lao Fuwei, and it was indeed a safe and reliable method, but...

"We scared the Turk away today, what if he comes back tomorrow?" Pan Xiaogu asked rhetorically

Pan Xiaogu's purpose is to fight for the total annihilation of this invading Turkic army, otherwise how can the system task be completed.

Cheng Yun frowned, he really had no way to harass the Gillicre tribe Laipi, in fact, the entire Tocharian army had no good way, otherwise he would not have moved the tribes that originally lived here, and now there are still many people in the upper echelons of Tocharian who have the idea of moving everyone in Panjiabao away.

"What does the commander think this battle should be?" Seeing that Cheng Yun didn't reply, Lao Fuwei stepped forward and asked.

"We will show weakness to the enemy, lure the Turks to attack, and drag them under the city."

"Your Excellency, are you planning to use the fortified city to kill and injure the Turks? With all due respect, I'm afraid this is useless, the Turks are very cunning, once the casualties are too large, they will stop the assault and turn to besiege the city, and then we will be trapped in the lonely city, and it will be difficult to get out of the city and fight. The old guard shook his head when he heard this

Pan Xiaogu still wished that the Turks would besiege the city, so that the plan he had arranged before would be easier to realize, anyway, there was no shortage of food in Panjiabao, and he could hold out for a long time.

However, his arrangement cannot be told to these people in Zhichong Mansion for the time being

"Didn't Captain Cheng just say that the Turks don't have much grain and grass to carry, even if the city is besieged, it won't be long to besiege it, and then just wait for the Turks to retreat on their own?" Pan Xiaogu simply played Laipi, this method doesn't work, let's follow your method, and wait for the Turks to withdraw their troops?

The old guard was choked speechless, he wanted to oppose again, but he couldn't find a reason to object, the two tactics were actually similar, both were to force the Turks back, but one wanted to scare people away directly, the other planned to drag the enemy and wanted to cause as much damage as possible, and the latter seemed to have more combat achievements...

Cheng Yun was more inclined to Pan Xiaogu's method, if the Turks were scared away, the hard-won opportunity to go into battle would be missed again

However, Lao Fuwei is 'his own person' after all, so he simply does not express his opinion.

Ruda is even more eager to have a chance to do it

"The Sprinkle family thinks that they still have a fight with the Turks for a while, and they can still get some first-class wine to drink."

These three people are the highest-ranking in the Tang army of Zhichong Mansion, and now one agrees to two abstains, and Pan Xiaogu's proposal is considered to have passed.

In fact, Pan Xiaogu can completely take over the command of the new army from these people in the Zhichong Mansion, and his control over the new army is completely beyond what these people imagined.

However, if Pan Xiaogu did this, it would be similar to directly depriving these Tang troops of their military power, and he would definitely offend them completely. These Tang troops are the only high-end combat power in Panjiabao, and they will always be useful, unless they have to, Pan Xiaogu will not do that.

"So everyone agrees with the officer's strategy?" Pan Xiaogu asked tentatively, and waited for a while and no one objected

The momentum on Pan Xiaogu's body changed suddenly, the frivolity on his body before was swept away, this person became sharp and strong, and his first military order was issued to Cheng Yun!

"Captain Cheng, this official orders you to take the new army to withdraw from the city immediately, and hide carefully in the fort so that the Turks will not be noticed!" Pan Xiaogu pressed Cheng Yun's eyes with a sharp gaze

Cheng Yun hesitated, and finally couldn't bear Pan Xiaogu's momentum, so he hugged his fists and took the order

"Humble command!" Cheng Yun was the leader of the Tang army, and if he received the order, the other Tang troops would have no reason to disobey Pan Xiaogu's order.

"Pan Er, you go and organize three hundred villagers to go to the city, play more new army banners, and wave the flag and shout for me as soon as the Turks appear." Pan Xiaogu gave the second order to the housekeeper Pan Er

"Obey the order, sir, I'll do it." Pan Er hugged his fist like Cheng Yun

"Ruda, you go to the city to command those villagers, my request to you is that you must rely only on these villagers to repel the first attack of the Turks, can you do it?"

"You can rest assured, just leave it to the Sprinkle family, grandpa can kill the Turks alone!" Rueda patted his chest and reassured

"This battle is won, you can drink enough of Panjiabao's good wine." Pan Xiaogu suddenly remembered a piece of information about Luda, so he added a sentence - Luda is a drunkard.

Sure enough, when Ruda heard that there was wine to eat, both of his eyes were glowing.

"The others are on standby under the city, and no one is allowed to enter the city without my orders!"

"Yes!" The other Tang Jun reluctantly accepted the order, but there was no way for their direct superior, Cheng Yun, to accept the order, how could they resist the order.

Pan Xiaogu gave orders one after another, and the people in Panjia Fort gradually began to get busy, they spontaneously divided into small groups, division of labor and cooperation, some specially prepared sand and soil to extinguish the fire in various parts of the fort, some went to the city to relay the implementation of rolling logs, some specially prepared dry food for the defenders, and transferred the old and weak women and children in the fort, regardless of men, women, and children, all mobilized, a group calmly, busy but not chaotic, and did all the work in an orderly manner, and did not even bother the new army to do it. In just a few moments, the preparations for defending the city were almost completed, which shocked the Tang army who was watching from the sidelines.

"This Tang family is definitely not simple, looking at the behavior of its people, faintly taking away the style of the military, could it be that this Pan family usually uses the law of governing the army to govern the family? Could it be some wandering Jiangmen family? ”

Lao Fuwei guessed in his heart, but in fact, it was all the influence of the folk custom of [Defending Sangzi].
