September 17, Anzhou, Fang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is Suotou water in the northeast direction of five miles outside the city, there is a pontoon bridge on the river, and there is a simple fort after crossing the bridge. After the Thunder Army captured the fort, Li Fengyun was humble and placed the mansion here.

Before dawn, the governor Gao Hu galloped Songshan with a thousand horsemen, and first hit Songshan Pass by surprise, even if it could not achieve results, but at least it could seize the opportunity to create better conditions for the follow-up army to attack this key pass.

After dawn, Li Fengyun and Hu Yanjian, Mi Yong, Jingjiang Liujin Fei and other horse army commanders surrounded the ghost city to check the terrain and prepare for the attack on this important town.

Two years ago, when Li Fengyun was crisscrossing the pine desert, because of his lack of strength, he could only fight guerrillas and attack small castles, and he did not dare to attack the important town of Ghost Fang, and Ghost Fang, as the northwest bridgehead of Xidi, played an important role in the process of encircling and suppressing Li Fengyun, so Li Fengyun, Hu Yanjian and other brothers were not only familiar with this city, but also full of hatred. In the past, he had no strength, and he could only fantasize that one day he would raze the ghost party to the ground to vent his hatred, but now he has the possibility of a dream coming true.

The brothers looked at the ghost square city, quite emotional, their hearts were full of murderous energy, and they had the urge to wash the ghost party with blood, but after going around the city, they couldn't resist the impulse and think calmly. The "old appearance" of the ghost side has not changed, and from the outside, it is still the city they are familiar with, and the defense is very strong.

The first line of defense of the ghost side is the moat, which comes from Suotou Shui, goes around the city, and then returns to Suotou Shui. The second line of defense was a thick earthen wall behind the moat, and both sides of the earthen wall were covered with red deer bars to block the enemy's advance. The third line of defense was the Urn City, a small castle that protected the gates. The fourth line of defense is the last and strongest line of defense composed of the city gate and the city wall, once this line of defense is lost, the city will also fall, even if the endless street battles are launched, it is only a stubborn resistance, and the fate of defeat cannot be reversed.

This is the standard defense of the city, if the city is in a water-scarce place, there is one less moat, and most of the cities in the north do not have a moat, but Anju is an exception, Anzhou has many rivers, most of the cities are built on water, can build a strong defense consisting of four lines of defense.

This kind of defense is a disaster for the horse army, although the people who are good at riding and shooting the strings are also very strong when they dismount and fight, but they not only need to be strong, but also need siege weapons, if they want to do a good job, they must first sharpen their weapons, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort, and there is no large number of siege equipment but they have to attack the city, it is purely to fill with dead corpses, that is, to fight for consumption, and attack the enemy's length with their own short, this way of playing is obviously stupid, and will not be adopted by the horse army, and the infantry army should also consider it as appropriate, and will not use this strategy until it is absolutely necessary.

Now, the alliance army is in this unfavorable situation, in order to grab time and speed, when Li Fengyun crossed the Lightning River, he still had everything that could be thrown away, while Mi Yong and Hu Luba were passive in the past two years because of their insufficient prediction of the future, and they had to get by, but when Li Fengyun came back and needed more help from them, they were empty-handed and could not give Li Fengyun the help he needed.

Now standing under the ghost city, looking at the well-defended city, Mi Yong felt guilty again, if he had great confidence in Li Fengyun at the beginning, and followed Li Fengyun's instructions before leaving to make some necessary preparations, now he would not be at a loss to look at the ghost side.

Without a large number of heavy siege equipment, how to attack the important town of Ghost Fang? Especially when the siege time is only a few days, even if it is too late to fill in the corpses.

At noon, on the top of a hill a few miles southwest of Ghost Fang City, Li Fengyun stood on his horse and watched, and after a long time, he finally made a decision to give up the attack.

"There are no siege engines." Li Fengyun turned his head to look at Hu Yanjian, Mi Yong and Jingjiang Liujin around him, and said in a calm tone, "There is not enough time for so-and-so, and the ghost side is very strong under the construction and repair of various dynasties and generations, although we have an absolute advantage in strength, but it is difficult to overcome in urgency, and the amazing losses caused by this are unbearable for us, so ......" Li Fengyun hesitated for a moment, and said firmly, "Give up attacking the fortification, besiege the city and send reinforcements, give priority to eliminating the living forces of Xi Yu, and do not compete with the Xi people for the gains and losses of one city and one place." ”

Hu Yanjian, Mi Yong, and Jingjiang Liujin looked at each other and did not raise any objections. The alliance army has just entered Anzhou, and the goal of capturing Anzhou is still far away, so it is indeed unwise to lose limited forces under a city at this time. Rather than being blocked and trapped, it is better to besiege the city and send reinforcements, first destroy the enemy's living forces, seize the initiative first, and be invincible first.

"Under the current situation, it is indeed not good for me." Mi Yong immediately agreed, "Now there are Hu Luba and Zhong Xin on the side of the flat pine forest to block the Turks, and it will take time for Ah Hui to withdraw, only the reinforcements of Xi Wangfu can reach the ghost side in the shortest possible time, but the main forces of the five armies of the Xi people are fighting outside, and the number of troops left in Anzhou is limited, and the main forces are placed on the front line of Yanshan to defend Zhongtu and the ghost side to defend the Turks, and the army in the center of Xi Wangfu should not be too much." From this, it is not difficult to guess that even if the Xi Wangfu side sends troops to rescue, there are probably only four or five thousand people, at least half of whom are temporarily recruited to control the strings, and they are all reserve forces in various tribes, either small or old, and their combat effectiveness is limited. Besiege the city and send reinforcements, the first target must be them, and after encircling and annihilating this force, the resistance of Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) to the south of Gubeikou with the Xuanfeng army will be greatly reduced. ”

Speaking of this, Mi Yong glanced at Li Fengyun and cautiously suggested, "If the ghost side has not seen the situation clearly so far, has not judged who its enemy is, and even misunderstood that its enemy is a Turk, then this is our advantage, and this advantage may help us take down the ghost side." ”

Li Fengyun comprehended and bowed slightly. Hu Yanjian and Jingjiang Liujin knew Mi Yong's intention as soon as they heard it, that is, to first surround the ghost city to lure Xi Wangfu to come to help, and then use the army of Xi Wangfu as bait to lure the ghost party to be fooled. Or, let the ghost side mistakenly think that the reinforcements have repelled the enemy, and without knowing the truth, open the door to welcome the reinforcements, so as to give up the city.

"Good plan!" Hu Yanjian became excited, and immediately asked, "Brother Sword, in your opinion, is it more likely to induce the ghost party to take the initiative to attack, or is it more likely to pretend to be a thief to open the city gate?" ”

"There are only four or five thousand people besieging the city today, if these people are still besieging the city tomorrow, the ghost party should make a wrong judgment." Mi Yong said, "Of course, we can't rule out that the ghost side already knows the news that the white wolf has returned with tens of thousands of Middle-earth troops, so for security reasons, the possibility that the ghost side will not be able to hold out is still the greatest." ”

Mi Yong's answer is obvious, the best way is to completely annihilate the reinforcements of Xi Wangfu, and then pretend to be the army of Xi Wangfu to deceive the city gate, as for whether it can succeed, it depends on luck.

"In my opinion, in fact, it doesn't matter what the ghost side thinks about the current situation, what matters is that as long as the ghost side mistakenly thinks that we have been defeated, this plan will work." Jingjiang Liujin also openly supported, and seeing Li Fengyun's expressionless face, he raised his horsewhip and shook it in front of Li Fengyun's eyes, signaling him to open his mouth to express his attitude, whether this plan would work or not.

"Ghost Fang City is not important, and the reinforcements of King Xi's Mansion are not to be worried." Li Fengyun looked at the three of them, raised his hand and pointed to the northeast, "Whether we can capture Anzhou as we wish is the key to the Songshan Pass, and the key is to severely damage or completely annihilate the main force of Ah Huizheng and his five Xi tribes." ”

Hu Yanjian's eyes lit up, and he became more and more excited, "Do you mean to take down the Songshan Pass at any cost and block Ah Huizheng from Anzhou, or, use the ghost side as bait, take advantage of the favorable terrain of Songshan, ambush Ah Huizheng, and beat him to annihilate the whole army?" ”

"Of course, it was to ambush Ah Huizheng and destroy him with a whole army." Jing Jiang Liujin said without thinking, "It's just that in this case, it's better to take down Ghost Fang City, so as not to be killed by the taunts in Ghost Fang City at a critical moment and stab us in the back." ”

Li Fengyun didn't speak, and turned his eyes to look at Mi Yong, after all, Mi Yong had persisted in the flat pine forest for a longer time, and was more familiar with the terrain of the ghost side, so he could make better suggestions in some aspects.

"The Songshan Pass is very dangerous, one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Mi Yong immediately said, "Therefore, attacking the Songshan Pass especially requires siege equipment, there are many people and it is useless to carry it out, and we are short of equipment and time is tight, the difficulty of conquering the Songshan Pass is even greater than the difficulty of capturing the ghost side." ”

This meaning is obvious, don't expect to block Ah Hui Zheng out of Anzhou, or be realistic, it is better to consider how to annihilate Ah Hui Zheng under the Ghost Fang City, so that the alliance army will not only quickly annihilate the reinforcements of Xi Wangfu, but also take the Ghost Fang City before Ah Hui Zheng returns, ensure that there are no distractions, concentrate all forces to fight the enemy, and complete the battle.

"Good!" Li Fengyun said decisively, "Tonight, the commanders of all armies will be convened to discuss together. ”

"Pass the order, and the follow-up troops will camp twenty miles outside the ghost city, and it is strictly forbidden to approach the city."

September 17, late at night, the ghost side, the military meeting of the alliance government.

Li Fengyun came up with a specific strategy for the ghost war, besieging the city to send reinforcements, and using the ghost side as bait to encircle and annihilate the Xi reinforcements. The alliance army first surrounded and annihilated the reinforcements of Xi Wangfu with absolute superiority, and then moved to Songshan to fight a decisive battle with Ah Huizheng and the main force of the five armies of the Xi people.

This plan was first questioned by Li Zixiong, "Why don't you capture the Songshan Pass, block the main force of Ah Huizheng and the five armies of the Xi nationality outside Anzhou, and then use the power of the Khitans to besiege and kill Ah Huizheng?" In comparison, is it the loss of capturing Songshan Pass, or the loss of besieging Ah Huizheng? ”

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately won the approval of most of the alliance generals, although many people did not dare to say it, but they also thought so in their hearts, the army came after a long journey, there was no time to catch its breath, and there was a serious shortage of food, grass and weapons, Li Fengyun rolled up his sleeves and picked up his arms, regardless of the consequences, he was going to fight to the death with the army of Xi Lu, and he wanted to finish his work in one battle, is it too reckless?
