The expression on Pei Shiju's face began to become relaxed, and he slapped his palms and laughed: "Hua Qiang, you are young, but you have the style of a famous general of the ancients, and it seems that everything is under control when you talk and laugh, and when the time comes, you can let Feng An's troops take the lead, and our three thousand elites will follow up from behind, and we will definitely be able to win." ”

Wang Huaqiang reined in his horse at once and shook his head resolutely: "No, I'm afraid that we will lose if we fight like this, Feng An's soldiers can be placed on both wings to strengthen their momentum, but they must not be allowed to be in the front row, let alone in front of our three thousand people!"

Wang Huaqiang glanced at Pei Shiju, who was dazed, and explained: "Hongdae, the more people in the war, the better, it seems that Feng An's troops are all slang, although I haven't seen their combat effectiveness, but it is expected that they will not be stronger than Zhou Shiju's troops."

These barbarian battles are like fights between tribes, rushing up in a chaotic manner, and there is no order to speak of advance and retreat, and if the battle is unfavorable and the enemy army has the upper hand, I am afraid that they will run around the battlefield and disrupt the formation of our army.

You also saw in the battle with Zhou Shiju a few days ago, compared with these barbarians, our Han army in the Central Plains compared to these barbarians, in addition to the sharp armor and well-equipped, the biggest advantage is the iron-like discipline, and the front that can always be maintained very well, even if there is no bow and crossbow, only relying on the lance, our army can defeat the 20,000 people of Zhou Shiju, the secret is that our army's front can always be as stable as Mount Tai, immovable.

But if there are tens of thousands of our own troops fleeing in front, then we can neither shoot our own men with bows and crossbows, nor can we put down our lances to stab them, and if we are rushed by the defeated troops like this, the line will be scattered. It will not be possible to fight the enemy army that is pursuing the victory.

Take a step back. Even if he drove Feng An's barbarians to fight first. Then our army's strong bow and hard crossbow advantage will not be able to be brought into play. Therefore, Feng An's troops can be placed on the two wings to strengthen their momentum, but the main force of the real battle must be our 3,000 elite soldiers. ”

Pei Shiju nodded again and again, and when he heard this, he still said: "It's just that you also said just now, even if it is the main force of the enemy's Chinese army, there are about 40,000 people. No matter how we count, there are only 3,000 people, which is a lot worse. If you really want to fight hard, will you be able to withstand the enemy? Besides, this time there is a military advisor surnamed Ren in the enemy army, and I am afraid that I can also find some countermeasures, so that I will not be defeated by our army of 3,000 people like last time. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and waved his hand: "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, even if the person surnamed Ren knows the tactics of our army, it will be useless, and he has to confront an elite division like our army." Either they had to charge with cavalry, or they were to shoot with crossbows from regular ironclad troops who were equally well armoured. Then the spears barreled each other, and no matter how bad they were, they had to outflank the two wings, and attacked the hard attack without regard for human life.

But these barbarians are naked, completely unarmoured, at most make some temporary wooden shields, just like the last time Zhou Shi raised the headquarters, it is difficult to block our army's frontal crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, even if they can rush to the front, there is no well-trained, equipped with ironclad lancers can fight against our army's gun array.

At that time, as long as our two wings are covered by Feng An's troops, we don't have to worry about being outflanked, even if we rely on two thousand long lances, we can completely defeat Wang Zhongxuan's 40,000 people.

And these are all assuming that those barbarians can fight to the death without retreating, in fact, these barbarians are often brave men, can only muster the courage to rush once, not durable to fight, once the most ferocious first wave of attack is blocked, it will not take half an hour, they will not retreat because of the decline of the body and huge casualties, the soldiers behind can not see the battle situation in front of them clearly, can only squeeze into a ball, trample on each other, when the time comes, what we have to do is to let go of the pursuit and kill. ”

Pei Shiju smiled slightly: "I trust you with auspicious words, Hua Qiang, fighting, I can't do it, I'll leave it all to you." ”

At the same time, at the head of the city north of Panyu City, Murong Sanzang, a bearded guard in his forties, was straddled with one foot on the mouth of the saucer between the battlements, forming a lunge, his eyes were cold, the elbow of his right hand was propped up on his thigh, and the palm of his hand was supporting his lower handle, looking at the enemy camp that stretched for more than 20 miles outside the city, thoughtfully.

A personal soldier next to him stepped forward and said: "General, the enemy army has withdrawn from the siege, and now there are no enemy troops in the east, west and south of the city. ”

Murong Sanzang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time, the enemy army withdraws, and all the troops are concentrated in the north, presumably it is my army reinforcements are coming, and the enemy army needs to deal with it with all his strength, so it will be withdrawn."

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the enemy army is attacking the city, so he wants to lure the main force of our army out of the city to annihilate, so he deliberately resorts to this plan of moving the camp and hiding ambushes.

These days of defending the city have been fought hard, if our army is not the epidemic guide zhì's non-combat attrition is too much, it will not be so difficult, Wang Zhongxuan has lost tens of thousands of people in the past few months, but there is no way to take my Panyu City, the morale of the rebels is declining, and after a long time, I am afraid that those barbarians who were coerced by him will also leave him. ”

The pro-soldier nodded again and again: "General, then will we just keep waiting?" ”

Murong Sanzang said with a smile: "Of course not, if the enemy army and the army of our imperial court, or the troops that Mrs. Xian came to help, then our army will take advantage of its hold, open the city gate and kill it, at least occupy its camp, in order to strengthen the momentum of our army, now I still have 5,000 capable soldiers under my command, this can still be done." ”

The soldiers nodded suddenly in understanding: "General, in the past few months, I have only defended but not attacked, and I am tired of coping, and my brothers have long been annoyed, so I am looking forward to going out of the city to fight, when will it be?" ”

Murong Sanzang looked at the rebel camp in the distance, and muttered to himself: "Don't underestimate the enemy, there are high-ranking people in the rebel army to help, last time it was first defeated, and then it was ambushed, and it is very clear that our General Wei likes to take the lead in combat habits, directly shot General Wei with a poisonous crossbow, and then took advantage of the victory to besiege the city."

These days, the rebels have been attacking Panyu City in turns, and the men and horses of Wang Zhongxuan's headquarters have not moved much, mostly driving those servant tribes to take the lead in order to consume our army, and his headquarters is reserved for a decisive battle with the main force of our army, so at this time, it is absolutely impossible to go out of the city to fight.

We must wait until he fights with the main force of our army, and the killing sound shakes the heavens and the earth, and after fighting for at least an hour, our army will go out of the city and rob the camp again, and then we can achieve the greatest results!"

After Murong Sanzang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the pro-soldier: "Order the whole army, these days, the eastern, western, and southern three city heads will be replaced by the common people and the old and weak wounded soldiers on duty, select three thousand sharp soldiers to recuperate, listen to my orders, and be ready to go out of the city to fight at any time, by the way, the five hundred war horses in the city will also be fed well from today, and they may be able to use them soon!"

In the tent of the commander in the rebel camp opposite, there was a lot of noise at this time, and more than 20 commanders with cloth wrapped around their heads and feathers on them were divided into two rows, with red faces and thick necks pointing at each other and scolding, and saliva was about to spray on each other's faces.

With a "snap", a burly figure stood up behind the handsome case, a strong man who was nearly eight feet tall and looked to be about forty years old, with a beard and beard, stood up and roared: "When is it, still fighting here, there is a fart!"

This person's height is standing out among the generally short and thin barbarians, and this thunderous voice is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked these Qu Shuai who were still arguing one by one and retreated hatefully, and there was a rare calm in the tent for a while.

This strong man is the leader of the Lingnan rebellion, Wang Zhongxuan, the lord of the Panyu Slang People's Congress, he and the rich Chen Fozhi of the Takishui are both the slang people in the central and southeastern part of Lingnan, with a total of 60,000 or 70,000 households, more than 100,000 men, this rebellion, it is also their two tribes to take the lead, relying on Ren Gui's tricks, first deceitful defeat to show weakness, and then use ambush soldiers to snipe with poisonous crossbows, killing Wei Xun, the Guangzhou governor of the Sui Dynasty, which caused all the departments to respond.

However, with the slang leaders in Gaozhou and Luozhou, Mrs. Xian Tai changed her previous ambiguous attitude, replaced Feng Ang to replace Feng Xuan, and defeated Chen Fozhi, the defeat report of Zhou Shiju's annihilation of the whole army also came almost at the same time, and some half-hearted commanders of various departments began to retreat again, vying to withdraw their tribes, and only then would they quarrel fiercely with other tough tribes who wanted to fight to the end in this handsome tent.
