Chapter 70: Passing by? No!
"Uptown!" Bai Qi said immediately.
Bai Qi and Wei Changfeng hurried up to the city, and when they reached the ramp, they saw a centurion hurriedly organizing the soldiers to go to the city. Bai Qi waved his hand and motioned to go up to the city together, and asked as he walked, "How far is the enemy army to the edge of the city?" The centurion looked puzzled and replied, "It seems that the enemy army does not intend to attack the city, but rather as if they were passing by." ”
"Passing by?" Bai Qi thought to himself that this centurion should be removed. Are you kidding? The Donghu army retreated from the south, not to attack Xingcheng, but to pass by? Where to pass by? Shanhaiguan? He didn't ask any more questions, and hurried up to the city wall side by side with Wei Changfeng. On the city wall, the two looked out, and couldn't help blurting out: "It's really passing by!" ”
Outside the city, the Donghu army is waving its flags, it seems that about 50,000 Donghu troops are marching in a hurry, but they are marching from west to east, parallel to the direction of Xingcheng, not advancing towards Xingcheng at all, and it is divided into three roads, the nearest road is about five miles away from Xingcheng, and the number of people is about 5,000 people up and down, on the south side of this road, about 30,000 Donghu troops form a road, and the smoke and dust are rolling, it seems that the Donghu army is a standard marching army shape, deducting the losses of the previous battle, 5,000 people on each of the left and right flanks, and 30,000 people in the middle road. Although they have not yet arrived at the city of Xingcheng, this direction is clear, and it is definitely not to attack Xingcheng! If this is a ploy, where is there a ploy to march parallel to Xingcheng at such a distance of five miles? Even if the 40,000 army wants to change direction, it will take a moment or three, and when the whole army turns to Xingcheng, the defenders have already prepared. What kind of way is this?
Bai Qi really couldn't figure it out, and looked at Wei Changfeng. Wei Changfeng was also frowning, thinking to himself. The two of them were scratching their heads, but there was a commotion behind them, and several soldiers looked behind them excitedly. Bai Qi and Wei Changfeng turned their heads to look, only to see a herald covered in dust, sweaty, almost staggering to rush to the city, the herald took a deep breath, suppressed his breath and said: "Fang, General Fang report, please be strict, strictly guard the city, they have already left the woods, they will arrive in an hour!" ”
Bai Qi is overjoyed. Now that the Donghu army is inexplicably "passing by", General Fang's brigade can arrive in just an hour, and the Han army is really a clever move to seize Xingcheng this time. He nodded and said, "You've worked hard, let's rest first." ”
The herald sat down with a thud, almost paralyzed from exhaustion.
Bai Qi looked back at Wei Changfeng, and planned to be happy with Wei Changfeng, but saw that Wei Changfeng's face was very ugly, and said strangely: "Wei Dutong, what's wrong?" ”
"It's not good!" Wei Changfeng replied, "We can't strictly defend Xingcheng, we have to intercept the Donghu army!" ”
Behind him, several soldiers shuddered at the same time.
3,000 infantry, defending the city and intercepting 40,000 cavalry on the other, Wei Dutong, are you brave?
Bai Qi heard Wei Changfeng say this, and ordered without hesitation: "Order, the whole army is ready to attack!" ”
This time it was Wei Changfeng's turn to be surprised. "White, White Counselor," he stammered rarely, "don't you ask me what I'm for?" ”
"If you say something so unreasonable, then there must be a reason why you have to do it," Bai Qi replied, "Besides, aren't you going to tell me the reason now?" ”
Wei Changfeng can only give a thumbs up.
This is called employing people without suspicion. To advocate the interception of the Donghu army in such a situation is either an idiot or a genius. Obviously, Wei Changfeng is not an idiot anyway, so Bai Qi doesn't care what reason he has, he will mobilize the army first.
Of course, Wei Changfeng can't sell his official son to Bai, but now that the time is urgent, he can only pick and choose the important ones, he said very quickly: "The Donghu army is going to pass by without fighting our Xingcheng, they are not passing by at all, looking at the direction they are traveling, they are going towards General Fang's troops!" This herald is tired like this, it is conceivable that General Fang's troops are also very tired, even if General Fang must arrive within an hour, there are only less than 20,000 people, and he is extremely tired, how to fight?
"The plan of the Donghu army was to defeat General Fang in one fell swoop, and then attack Xingcheng in turn. Attacking Xingcheng, they get a place to defend, and attacking the general is a great victory. If they can't win as soon as possible, General Fang will attack from behind again, they will be embarrassed, General Fang will entangle, and General Zhu's large army will arrive, and the Donghu army will die under the city of Xingcheng. Isn't this our original plan? ”
"If the Donghu army wants to crack this method, the best way is to defeat General Fang with all their might, gain more time to capture Xingcheng, and then refuse to defend the city, rest the troops, and then fight with General Zhu, what we have to do now is to buy time for General Fang to rest the troops, even if it is good to fight for half an hour more, so this time, we can't let them pass by!"
Bai Qi nodded as he listened, his eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter as he nodded, and as soon as Wei Changfeng finished speaking, he immediately said, "You are right." It's just that our 3,000 people can hold the city for an hour, but I'm afraid that we can't stop the Donghu army in the field for an hour, what is the best strategy for Wei Dutong? ”
Wei Changfeng had already thought of a way in just a moment, he smiled slightly, and replied: "Even if we can block the Donghu army for an hour, the army is also gone, how can we defend Xingcheng?" Therefore, we can't go out of the city to attack. ”
The two soldiers behind Bai got up glanced at each other, and they both felt that Wei Dutong might be sick, very sick, and had a high fever. First said that it was necessary to volley, and the reason for saying it was twelve points sufficient, and now as soon as it turned around, he said that he must not go out of the city to volley, and the reason was also twelve points sufficient, okay, Wei Dutong, so what should we do?
This is also what Bai Qi wanted to ask, but Bai Qi never suspected that Wei Changfeng was talking nonsense, he absolutely believed that if someone refuted Wei Changfeng, the most obvious facts proved that it must be that opponent was talking nonsense, this has been confirmed more than once, this time, I am afraid that it will not be an exception, and Wei Changfeng's smile made him feel at ease. In such a situation, Wei Changfeng can laugh, which proves that there is a way to solve this problem.
"How do you think Wei Dutong should solve it?" Bai Qi's tone calmed down and asked slowly.
"Let them besiege the city!" Wei Changfeng replied, "We can't go out of the city, they must be intercepted, so the only way is: let them attack!" ”
Outside the city, Urian was marching in the center of the Central Route Army. He is now both happy and sad. Sadly, his subordinate loved to kill Carlo in Xingcheng, and I heard that he was stabbed to death by a Han army general with a divine sword across a dozen people, I really don't know how those defeated soldiers can make up such words, he has already ordered the three defeated soldiers who shouted and dared to face the god Tie He and swore that they were true to the gods - that is, killed them - who let them make up such lies, and actually in the name of God!
There are two happy ones, the first is: Ag is nowhere to be found. It's a great event.
