Chapter 215: The Verge
After carefully considering Bai Heng's words in his heart, Xing Jiamu said, "What if they give up resistance and flee from the south gate?" ”
Bai Heng said: "The purpose of our battle is to recapture the county seat, if they really escape, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble, and I conclude that they will not choose to escape unless they have to." ”
Xing Jiamu said: "You continue." ”
Bai Heng said: "First of all, Zichang County is basically an empty city, they have no need to rob it at all, the main purpose of their occupation of the city should be to build momentum, if they only occupy it for one night, the city will be taken back by us, not only will they not cause momentum, but also will have a blow to morale, so I think they will not abandon the city lightly." ”
Xing Jiamu nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, tomorrow we will do as you say, more than 20,000 people on our side are all under your command." ”
"In addition, after the people from Sikong Hai's side arrive tomorrow, you and Chen Yucheng will be the deputy generals of Si Konghai, and the team will be commanded by the three of you."
Bai Heng didn't expect Xing Jiamu to make such an arrangement, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Thanks to the love of my lord, Bai Heng will never give up." ”
After discussing the siege, Xing Jiamu ordered everyone to go back to rest and prepare for the battle tomorrow.
Xiang Luyang and the others were not as relaxed as Xing Jiamu, they had been busy arranging the city defenses, and when the sky was about to be brightened, Xiang Luyang finally went back to sleep for a while under Gao Biying's repeated requests.
Not long after Xiang Luyang fell asleep, he felt that someone was tiptoeing towards his bed, listening to the footsteps, the person who came should be a man, although he had put his steps very lightly, but Xiang Luyang's current ear power is not what it used to be, he now even has a mosquito flying in the room, he can clearly distinguish the trajectory of the mosquito's flight through the sound.
Turning over, Xiang Luyang didn't open his eyes, he wanted to see what this person wanted to do when he came to his room, whether he wanted to report the news, or wanted to murder himself.
After this person came to Xiang Luyang's bedside, a hand stretched out towards Xiang Luyang's head, although he didn't know what the person wanted to do, but Xiang Luyang still grabbed this person's wrist for the first time.
"It's not fun, you're pretending to be asleep and deceiving people!" A man's voice said.
When he opened his eyes, after seeing the person clearly, Xiang Luyang jumped up from the bed and hugged the visitor: "Zhen'er, you finally woke up, you scared me." ”
It turned out that the person who came to Shaanxi with Gao Biying was Zhao Guizhen, Zhao Guizhen began to sleep on the night he came to Shaanxi, and slept until Xiang Luyang went out of the city to chase Xing Jiamu and did not wake up, at first when he learned the news that Zhao Guizhen was sleeping, Xiang Luyang was still very worried, but after repeated confirmation by the doctor, he said that he was just sleeping, and then Xiang Luyang was relieved.
Zhao Guizhen broke free from Xiang Luyang's arms and said: "When I went to bed last night, my mother was still by my side, and when I woke up in the middle of the night, they said, you and my mother came here, I came over overnight to see, and I heard my mother say that you are sleeping here, I want to come over and scare you, but I didn't expect that you are pretending to sleep here to lie to me, I want to sue my mother." ”
Xiang Luyang patted Zhao Guizhen on the shoulder and said, "Really good, your mother is also tired, she is also going to rest, if you want to sue, when she wakes up tomorrow morning, are you going to sue?" ”
Zhao Guizhen said: "Yes, but I'm afraid that when I get up tomorrow morning, I will forget about it." ”
Xiang Luyang laughed and said: "I'm really so smart, I won't forget it, if you forget, I'll remind you tomorrow morning." ”
Zhao Guizhen said: "Then we will make up our minds, you must remind me tomorrow morning." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "I must remind you, hurry up and go to bed." ”
Zhao Guizhen looked at Xiang Luyang's bed and said, "I want to sleep with you." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Okay, I'll sleep with you." ”
Xiang Luyang from falling asleep to getting up, before and after is an hour of time, now sleeping, for Xiang Luyang, is already dispensable, he is now three days and three nights without sleeping, as long as he meditates for half an hour, all the spirit can also be restored, so when Gao Biying saw Xiang Luyang who was full of energy, she asked puzzledly: "You sleep for a while and you are full?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "I'm old, I don't have so much sleep, just sleep for a while." ”
Gao Biying glanced at him and said, "It's not right, okay, since you have slept enough, let's study how to defend this city!" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "I just looked at the map, Xing Jiamu and the others escaped from the North Gate, they are likely to flee to Tunliu, if they send troops from Tunliu, then the most likely attack is the North Gate." ”
Gao Biying said: "As far as I know, the number of defenders in Tunliu should be about the same as that of Zichang County, and they shouldn't have enough troops to attack the city, right?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Where is the closest to here, where is the most garrison?" ”
Gao Biying spread out the map, pointed to the location of Changzhi and said: "Here, Changzhi military camp, there are at least 100,000 garrisons here." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Northeast! ”
Gao Biying said: "If you start from Changzhi, the main direction of attack should also be the North Gate!" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "What we can think of, they should also be able to think of, if I guess correctly, they are likely to bypass the north gate and then attack the other three directions." ”
Gao Biying said: "You mean, they have already guessed that we will focus on defending the north gate?" ”
Xiang Luyang nodded and said, "This is human nature, they won't be stupid enough to hit the nail hard." ”
Gao Biying said: "Then I will now order someone to roll the wood thunder stone and transport it to the other three gates first, and on the north gate, don't put too much first." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "No, there are still two gates at the north gate, and the east and west gates must be prepared more, and the south gate can be put less, although the north gate is not necessarily their main direction of attack, but it also has to be guarded." ”
Gao Biying said: "Then why don't you let the south gate go?" ”
Xiang Luyang smiled and said, "They won't be stupid enough to hand over their backs to Ansai." ”
Gao Biying thought about it and made sense, so she didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic and said: "I released six batches of sentinels last night, three batches in the direction of Changzhi and three batches in the direction of Tunliu, according to the latest intelligence this morning, last night, there were signs of troop transfer over there in Tunliu, but as of yesterday's third watch, there was no movement at all in the Changzhi barracks, will they not come?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "In terms of time, even if Xing Jiamu arrives in Tunliu, he will start to send people to Changzhi to transfer troops, and Changzhi will not receive orders until the second half of the night, so we can't take it lightly, if Xing Jiamu doesn't want to attack the city, the troops in Tunliu will not be transferred back and forth." ”
