Because the grain and grass had been exhausted during the march, Zeng Mo ordered the soldiers to build an earthen wall and hold on without fighting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Tartar didn't understand why the Ming army, which had won a series of battles, chose to retreat at this time, and thought that the Ming army was going to play some tricks, because they had suffered several big losses before, they were all panicked, but they didn't dare to fight, forming a strange scene of the two armies facing each other but no war at all.

In the past few days, the Tartars also sent small forces to attack the camp twice, but in the end they were in vain and most of them were wounded. In this way, the Tartars did not dare to act rashly, because they knew that there were still artillery in the Ming military camp, so no one would do this life-losing business.

The Tartars also considered whether the Ming army had the heart to retreat because of the lack of food and grass, but the Ming army must have more stoves and sing war songs every day, which does not look like a lack of food at all.

Moreover, when the Tartars sent sentry cavalry to attack, there were no signs of mutiny or dissatisfaction among the soldiers, and coupled with the unsuccessful two night attacks, the Tartars naturally did not dare to act rashly.

However, the Tartars also have their own plans, anyway, now the Hetao is occupied by themselves, and if it continues to be consumed like this, the Ming army will always have a day when there is a shortage of food, so that the Ming army will naturally retreat without a fight, and they have nothing to lose.

Besides, even if the Ming army is short of food, they are still strict in military discipline and do not show panic, so there is no way to take them.

"Lord Zeng, how much grain and grass is there in the army now?" , Peng Yue asked in a low voice in the tent.

Zeng Mo looked around, did not speak, stretched out his hand and made a "five" gesture.

"If the grain and grass still can't be delivered, what should we do?" , Peng Yue asked anxiously.

"The news is coming. It is said that the military rations are scheduled to be delivered within two days, so there should be no problem...". Zeng Miao's tone was also faintly worried. In fact, judging from the news, the military rations should have been delivered two days ago.

"Two days ago, we told the soldiers that there are still dozens of days of grain and grass. But what if... I'm afraid I really can't hide it...", Peng Yue said with a sigh.

Zeng Mo didn't speak, and his face was full of worry.

"My lord, the military rations have been delivered...", a strong smell of sweat swept in the wind, "Because we were afraid that the Tartars would find out, we took all the paths, so we came late, and I ask your lord to forgive me..."

"It doesn't matter... It doesn't matter...". Zeng Mo said with a smile.

"Then I'll call General Li to come and discuss it now, and decide the final strategy for this attack." , Peng Yue's hanging heart also let go.

After a while, Li Dequan followed Peng Yue into the camp.

"General Li, these **** made you think of an attack strategy, have you thought of it?" , Zeng Mill's face became serious again.

"I thought of a lot of ideas, but I denied them all by myself, and in the end, there was only one way that I thought was feasible." Li Dequan said as he pulled over a map.

"It's here...", Li Dequan pointed to a point on the map and said, "This is close to the mountain, and there is an exit to the road outside." It's just that it leads to the east, but it's also a good position to attack. Retreat and defend..."

"And what do you want?" , Zeng Mo asked.

"Occupy the place, of course. Set up camp here...", Li Dequan continued to point to the map. "This place is right in the middle of their two camps, and they form an angle to each other to act as a defensive barrier, but we will base the camp in this place, in the shape of a triangle, it is naturally very safe to defend, and the back is directly connected to the main road, and it is also very convenient to retreat..."

"This position is really good, so what about the specific combat strategy?" Although Zeng Mo said this, there was no trace of joy in his tone.

"I thought of two strategies...", Li Dequan saw that Zeng Mo didn't seem to be satisfied, and couldn't help but have some impulses to rush to get affirmation, "First, we can directly rush to the middle of them, cut them in half, cut off the connection between them, and solve them one by one..."

"If that's the case, you're just in their trap...", Zeng Mo sneered, "Do you think they set up those two camps to connect with each other?" They are only preventing us from attacking the camp at the foot of Mount Ma Liang. If we get to them, it's not that we cut them off, it's that they flank us in two ways! ”

Only then did Peng Yue understand why they had built two camps on the same line, and they were so far away from each other that there could be no connection at all. It turned out that they were trying to attract the enemy into the ambush circle, so as to eliminate the enemy army with a two-phase attack.

But if you don't go directly to them, you have to pull out the camps one by one, which makes it even more difficult. But in any case, they were able to defend the big camp at the foot of Maliang Mountain very well. There is no shortage of talents in the Tartars, and it is a good strategy!

Li Dequan listened to Zeng Miao's criticism, his face was red and white, and he finally understood why Zeng Miao's face had been unhappy just now, it turned out that he had not considered it well.

"Actually, it can be like this...", Li Dequan continued, "There is another plan, we will go directly to the back of the camp in Maliang Mountain and attack there. In this way, don't you avoid being caught in the middle of the attack? ”

"But the place of Maliang Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is even more difficult to attack in the rear!" , Zeng Mo frowned, his face dissatisfied, "Even if you capture that camp, you will inevitably continue to fight with the men and horses of another camp." ”

"But didn't Master Peng say that our main task is to seize strategic points, not to destroy the enemy's living forces?" , Li Dequan also frowned, with a reluctant face. After all, I have been thinking about a strategy for several days, and if it is rejected all of a sudden, no one will be happy.

When Peng Yue heard that Li Dequan had pulled himself in, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "General Li, you misunderstood what I meant." The essence of the art of war lies in the word "change". You say you want to seize strategic places, but a group of big living people are there, will you take them? Even if you don't provoke them, they will do their best to destroy you, so now you must destroy them before you can successfully seize the strategic location. ”

"After fighting for so long, I don't even know how to work around!" , Zeng Mill looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Lord Peng means not to delay the seizure of strategic places because you want to kill more Tartars for merit." But now that a group of enemies are in front of you, if you don't get rid of them, what are you doing with them! ”

"Don't say that, Lord Zeng, at least the position chosen by Master Li is still very good...", Peng Yue saw that Li Dequan was aggrieved by Zeng Miao, and hurriedly spoke to ease up.

It seems that Zeng Mi Zhijun is a little stricter, and at this time, looking at Li Dequan's rugged face, there are small eyes full of grievances, Peng Yue can't help but have an urge to laugh... (To be continued.) )
