093 Surveying the terrain

It seemed that he also saw Wen Yuan's worries, Xu Huang continued: "The last general also took a closer look, this city is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the mountains and forests in the northwest are lush, it is not suitable to deploy soldiers and horses, the south gate has a Han water barrier, only the east gate can be used for the army to set up a formation to attack, and once the city cannot be defended, these Di people can completely retreat to the mountains and forests behind, it is difficult to wipe them out!" ”

Obviously, Xu Huang explored in detail, this river pond city is a mountain and water embracing the trend, the northwest two sides are towering mountains, the Han water around the south gate rolling eastward, only the east gate is a large open space. Relying on the mountain, Hechi City itself is very high, the city wall alone is four or five zhang high, this height is even slightly inferior to many big cities, and Hechi has small benefits, small, it means that there is no need to invest too many defensive forces, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, this number is very abundant!

And Wen Yuan also found that although the east gate seems to be flat, as the mountain rises, the area in front of the city gate still has a slight slope, which means that if the sergeants want to push the heavy siege equipment up, they need to exert several times more effort than usual! The defenders of the city can be condescending and do everything with minimal effort, so according to normal speaking, it will cost a lot of troops to storm the east gate......

However, where can Wenyuan's army use the ordinary evaluation standards of this era?

Wen Yuan visually surveyed the ground under his feet, which was not affected by the mountain, it was still quite flat, and asked, "Under the influence of the mountain, how far does the area with a slope extend from the east gate to the outside?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Xu Huang's eyes, the lord asked something that he had just thought of after observing for two days, and the lord only thought of how to arrange the siege after just a little look at the terrain, he couldn't help but admire, and said with a smile at the moment: "The lord is wise, the influence of this terrain is about two hundred steps from the east gate, and beyond this, it is exactly the attack range of the thunder car and the bed crossbow." ”

"Not bad." Wen Yuan nodded, Xu Huang thought the same way as him, if there was no thunder car and bed crossbow, he would have no choice but to rely on the tactics of the sea of people. But now it's different, with the siege weapon that is hundreds of years ahead of this era, Wen Yuan can teach the people in Hechi City a cruel lesson without too much effort!

Now Wen Yuan has a specific idea, on the way he has a certain understanding of the way of life of the Di people, doesn't this race live in the mountains, and the houses used to living are mostly wooden?

Isn't the only problem that needs to be solved now is how to prevent them from abandoning the river and escaping into the mountains? If you solve this, you can completely wipe out the people in the city!

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan said: "Let's go, go back to the camp, and go to see the terrain of the two gates in the northwest tomorrow!" ”

…………

"Roar, ah......" In the county office of Hechi City, with a low roar, Wang Doumao let out a sigh of relief, trembling and falling like a boiled noodle on top of a warm nephrite-like body below.

He gasped for air, and the anxious breath between his eyebrows seemed to dissipate a little as his energy was vented.

In the past few days, Wang Dou Mao has been very irritable, and he almost wants to kill people to vent the depression in his heart, but he doesn't dare, even if the Han army is close to ten miles outside the city, he doesn't dare to kill it.

Wen Yuan has been observing Hechi for the past few days, and Wang Doumao has not been idle to keep an eye on the Han army outside the city. And the more he looked at it, the more Wang Doumao felt that he had no confidence in his heart.

Sometimes Wang Doumao thinks that this may be a joke that God is playing with him, and he has said before that even if there are 100,000 troops, he will not want to capture Hechi, but in the blink of an eye, his words have come true, the Han army is not only coming, but also a lot, looking at the scale of the camp, there are definitely more than 100,000 troops!

If it's just like this, the key is that the Han army that came this time is obviously very different from what Wang Doumao has encountered in the past, whether it is the layout of the camp, the placement of the garrison, no matter what aspects, the quality of this Han army is stronger than what Wang Doumao has fought before!

Wang Doumao instinctively felt that this was a tiger and wolf army! He has had the experience of fighting against the Han army many times before, and he can still see this! Although the Han army has not attacked the city in the past few days, just looking at their methodical appearance every day, the pressure in Wang Doumao's heart is invisibly accumulating deeper and deeper!

And in the past few days, he has also gotten a lot of news about Wen Yuan from the mouths of the captives, he didn't think to ask before, he didn't take the attacking Han army in his eyes at all, and now he was surprised after this question! This Zhang Liao is actually such a fierce person! There are more than one million soldiers under his command, and the more than 100,000 people outside are still the elite selected from the million army!

As soon as he heard about these Wang Dou Mao, he was immediately frightened, and it also verified his judgment of the strength of the enemy army outside the city at first sight. Think about it, the elite soldiers selected from the army of more than one million, can it be bad? Compared with the quality of these elite soldiers, the quality of his subordinates is obviously far behind!

He had no other way, and he didn't have the interest of picking a few more Han troops to fight each other, because he was afraid that the situation that happened last time would happen again, but instead of having fun, he ended up with a trace of gloom in his heart. So the only woman who can do it now is to vent her energy under her.

After the madness, Wang Doumao was very tired, and the sleepiness made his eyelids heavier and heavier, which was also what Wang Doumao wanted, he had not slept well for several days, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and only after indulgence could he throw away his troubles outside and sleep for a while......

But unfortunately, some people didn't want him to sleep peacefully at this time. Wang Doumao only felt that he had just fallen asleep for a while, and a henchman guard called him outside the house. Wang Doumao got up helplessly, and when he asked, he learned that Du Hao and Pu Hu, the leaders of the Di people, jointly asked to see him and wanted to discuss the military situation with him.

Wang Doumao got up in his clothes and walked to the front hall to see that Du Hao and Pu Hu were already sitting there waiting for him.

As soon as he saw Wang Doumao, Pu Hu was the first to can't help but say: "Big leader, yesterday we discussed how to retreat from the enemy, I don't know if you have thought of a way, seeing that time is passing day by day, the Han army is estimated to be ready to attack the city soon, and now if you can't come up with another countermeasure, it will be troublesome then......"

Du Hao also chimed in: "Yes, big boss! You've got to get an idea! If they really get into Hechi City, our tribes will be all finished! ”

Like Wang Doumao, in the past few days, several leaders have also gotten a lot of news about Wenyuan and the Han army from the mouths of the captives, and they are less confident than Wang Doumao, and they are completely panicked all of a sudden! Every day, I come to Wang Doumao to ask for strategies, and I am as anxious as ants on a hot pot!

"Panic what! The sky hasn't fallen yet! Wang Doumao yelled irritably: "If you want to capture my Hechi City, how can it be so easy!?" I have calculated, if the Han army storms and takes Hechi City, it will lose half of its people! I don't believe it, he Zhang Liao dares to spend so much money for this city? ”

"Yes, what the big leader said is that Zhang Liao will definitely not spend his blood to storm Hechi City." Du Hao first agreed, but then changed the conversation and said: "It's just that the Han people have always been scheming, if they think of any conspiracy, we are unprepared, won't it be troublesome?" Big boss, you also need to think of a plan as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, big boss...... The leaders echoed Du Hao for a while, but secretly pouted at Wang Doumao's words.

Attack, the Han army is indeed unlikely to storm Hechi, but people are scheming! If there is some conspiracy, won't everyone suffer?

Besides, what if the Han army really forcibly attacked the city? Now everyone knows that Zhang Liao, who led the troops, has a million soldiers under him, and the loss of 50,000 or 60,000 is not even a wound for them, at most it is only a little wounded, and the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city are indeed all the belongings in the hands of the leaders of the seven Di people.

So I don't want a foolproof solution, so how can the leaders not panic?
