Cai Siwei left the tent anxiously and went to set up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang 13 followed and entered the tent.

In fact, Wang 13 had been waiting outside for a short time.

"Wang Thirteen, what's the situation?"

"Report to your lordship, all arrangements have been made, a total of forty scouts who have entered the city will act at an ugly time tonight, the layout of the city and the situation of the garrison, the subordinates have drawn a detailed map, exactly as your lord expected, there are not many soldiers in the city, there should be no more than two thousand, and the city is very depressed, and there are not many people in sight."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

"Liu Cheng is not stupid, he will not launch a strong defense in Changzhou, this is close to Hezhou, which belongs to the forefront of the position, Liu Quan's main force should be deployed in Luzhou and Tongchuan, the entire Changzhou, the defense of the troops will not be much, the people should be transferred to Luzhou by Liu Quan, in this case, we take Changzhou, there is not much meaning."

"My lord, my subordinates see it this way."

"Okay, according to my prediction, once the army takes Dazu County, the rebels in Changyuan and Yongchuan and other places will definitely abandon the city and retreat to Luzhou, they will loot the little money and grain left, leaving empty cities, we occupy these empty cities, there is no point, so the scouts must detect the relevant information in detail and report it quickly, so that I can make arrangements, Liu Cheng thinks that his arrangement is very proper, foolproof, I will not let him succeed."

Wang 13 clasped his hands into fists and saluted, accepting the order.

Wu Shaogang's expression was very serious, and he began to issue orders word by word.

"When the army began to attack the city, the scouts lurking in the city, be sure to open the city gate in the south, if you can't do this, military law is engaged, attacking a city like Dazu County, I don't want to lose much."

"My subordinates have warned every scout who lurks in the city."

"Okay, the attack is mainly based on the Tabai Army and the Urging Front Army belonging to the Hezhou Imperial Army, and the rest of the army is waiting for orders."

Wang Shisan's face changed slightly, he looked at Wu Shaogang, and mustered up the courage to speak.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that they should let their brothers attack the city."

"Needless to say, I've already decided."

It was completely dark.

On the city wall of the county seat, the lights are still brilliant.

Cai Siwei personally led nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Tabai Army and the Urging Front Army to wait silently outside the south gate less than two miles away from the city.

Wu Shaogang gave the order to attack the city in Yinshi, and Cai Siwei carried it out unconditionally.

In the past, the night of early winter was still a little cold, Cai Siwei stared closely at the city wall not far away, his brows were furrowed, and he launched an attack on the city at night, which was an extremely rare move, because it was dark, and the attacking sergeant had to charge with a torch, so that it became the best attack target for the defending sergeant, as long as there was a round of arrow rain, the besieging sergeant would suffer heavy losses.

Under normal circumstances, no one would accept such an order for battle, or at least argue with the commander.

Cai Siwei didn't argue at all, and after accepting the order, he immediately arrived at the designated position with the sergeants of the Tabai Army and the Urging Front Army.

When the ugly time came, Cai Siwei, who was still full of energy, ordered the guards around him to go to inspect to see if anyone found it difficult to support, or even talked nonsense, if there was such a situation, he would be severely punished.

A few minutes after the guards left, Cai Siwei saw a familiar figure.

"Deputy marshal, it's so late, and I haven't rested yet."

"I have made a military order in front of the marshal, do you think I can rest peacefully, although the number of rebels stationed in Dazu County is not very large, but after all, this is the first battle after the army is drawn, it can only succeed, not fail, our attack today is likely to determine the direction of the future battle, so we can't have the slightest carelessness."

"Although the deputy marshal can rest assured, we will definitely take Dazu County."

"In the battle of attacking the city and pulling out the fortress, there is no reason to attack at night unless it is absolutely necessary, don't you have any ideas?"

"There must be some doubts, but there is no doubt about the execution of the orders of the deputy marshal."

"Okay, I won't emphasize too much else, remember one thing, attack Dazu County, the loss should not be too big, if the rebel sergeants surrender, there is no need to kill them all, the rabbit will bite people in a hurry, if the rebels stationed in Dazu County feel that they have lost hope of life, they will fight to the death, so that our losses will increase, which I don't want to see."

"Deputy marshal, the sword is ruthless, once the siege battle is spread, losses are unavoidable, and the deputy marshal still doesn't have a bodhisattva heart."

"I won't have a bodhisattva's heart, but I just attack a city like Dazu County, if we lose a lot, it's not worth it."

Cai Siwei looked at Wu Shaogang, dumbfounded, he really didn't understand the meaning, and he wanted to take Dazu County, but he didn't want to cause much loss, could it be that the rebels stationed in Dazu County were mud people.

The lights on the city wall flickered several times.

But all this disappeared in a short time, and from a distance, everything was still the same on the city walls.

It's three quarters of the hour.

Wu Shaogang, who had been looking at the map for a long time, finally raised his head.

"Deputy Cai is in charge and orders the army to attack on time at Yinshi."

Cai Siwei, who was impatient, after clasping his fists and saluting, prepared to walk out of the tent and ordered the guards to convey the order for the combat attack.

Wu Shaogang waved his hand.

"Don't be impatient, you immediately send a sergeant to the south gate to have a look, if there is no accident, the city gate of the south gate is basically controlled by us, the sergeants of the white army and the urging army, as long as they rush to the city with all their might, don't think so much about the rest."

Cai Siwei looked at Wu Shaogang, dumbfounded, even more shocked, and speechless.

"Don't look at me like this, when I just arrived in Hezhou, I sent sergeants to infiltrate Dazu County, these sergeants' combat effectiveness is not ordinary, the rebels can't deal with it at all, according to my orders, the sergeants lurking in the city, when they are ugly, they will take full control of the south gate, open the city gate, and let the attacking sergeants rush into the city."

"One thing you must remember is that after storming into the city, there will be four sergeants waiting, who will lead you to attack and strangle the rebels in the city, and strive to take the county seat of Dazu as quickly as possible."

Cai Siwei looked at Wu Shaogang, and the shocked look on his face slowly disappeared.

"The deputy marshal is really clever, but how does the deputy marshal know that the first city attacked by the army is Dazu County."

"If you think about it a little, you will know that when the army enters Changzhou, once it takes the county seat of Dazu where the state government is located, it can barely be said that it has recovered Changzhou, if it attacks other cities first, will it have such an effect."

"The subordinates are stupid, and they can't think of so much."

"You must force yourself to have these thoughts, you said, the sword is ruthless, especially in this kind of siege battle, if you rush into battle, the casualties of the sergeants will be very large, my idea is that the casualties cannot exceed 100 people, if we exceed this number, even if we take the city, it will be considered a failure."

Cai Siwei gasped, according to the information obtained, the rebels stationed in Dazu County were 2,000 people, and at the cost of less than 100 casualties, it sounded impossible to annihilate the 2,000 rebels defending the city.

"Deputy marshal, I, I thought that as long as I could successfully take Dazu County, it would be a huge victory, and I didn't have to think too much about the casualties."

Wu Shaogang smiled, and the serious expression on his face disappeared.

"I know what you think, after all, there are 2,000 rebels stationed in Dazu County, and it is too arrogant to carry out the battle of attacking the city and uprooting the village, and at the cost of less than 100 casualties, exterminate the 2,000 rebels."

When Wu Shao just said this, Cai Siwei unconsciously nodded and agreed.

may feel that the attitude revealed is wrong, Cai Siwei then hurriedly shook his head.

Before Cai Siwei could explain, Wu Shaogang continued.

"The two thousand rebels guarding Dazu County, in fact, have no combat effectiveness, that is to say, they do not have the intention of completely working for Liu Quan, Liu Quan, as the prefect of Luzhou and the deputy envoy of Tongchuan Road to pacify, surrendered to Mongolia, can obtain glory and wealth, the sergeants under his command, may not have the same treatment, I am afraid that their status is more embarrassing than before, they will not have the idea of defecting at all, but they are forced by the order from above, follow the defection, and now Liu Quan is stationed in Luzhou, sending two thousand soldiers to guard Dazu County, These sergeants are on the front line, and they are always facing the situation of being surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army, how do you think they will be. ”

"Once the army attacks the city and enters the city, how many rebel sergeants will resist desperately, I'm afraid the first choice is to surrender, only those officers will resist to the death, so your focus is to deal with those officers, as long as these officers are eliminated, the dragons are leaderless, and the rebels below will surrender in the shortest possible time."

"When you think about it, you can understand why I made such a harsh request."

Cai Siwei only had to nod, Wu Shaogang's analysis was reasonable, and he accurately grasped the psychology of the rebels, it can be said that this battle of attacking the city and pulling out the village has been completely within his estimate, in this case, victory is captured.

By this time, Cai Siwei's understanding of Wu Shaogang was more profound.

The general is brave, the three armies are dead, the so-called strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, Wu Shaogang has done all the planning, such a battle, it is really cool to fight.

When the time was approaching, the sergeant sent to reconnoiter quickly came back to report the news: the south gate had been occupied.

Looking at Wu Shaogang with a smile and a confident look on his face, Cai Siwei clasped his fists and saluted.

"Deputy marshal, his subordinates have gone down to command the battle, please wait for the good news of his subordinates."

"Big brother, the sword is ruthless, you must pay attention to your own safety." (To be continued.) )
