In the south of the city, the sky is full of stars, and the night breeze is cool.

Xiao Quzhi stood on the hill, with a series of low peaks behind him, and when he looked up, he saw the camp of the Great Food Army in front of him.

Compared to when I passed through here a few days ago, Dashi's camp was several times larger. As far as the eye can see, the camp is densely packed with stars, and the campfires are lit, as if the stars have fallen into the valley, echoing with the stars in the sky, which is magnificent.

"Fuck, are all big cannibals rats?" Xiao Quzhi said in a low voice: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and this is how you dig here!" Four deep trenches were dug just more than one zhang wide, and the excavated soil was piled up behind them to form an earthen wall more than one zhang high; Other narrow and shallow ditches are even more vertical and horizontal, and they are too many to count; Behind the trench, I don't know where to move the huge wood, built a wall, almost two feet high; There are deer barricades all over the camp, watchtowers are lined up, and the road is tortuous; The only ones that could be quickly passed were the two main roads on the north and south flanks, which were supposed to be used as passages for cavalry pursuit after defeating the enemy, and were also heavily guarded. ”

Behind Xiao Quai, there were three people standing Amirjiang, Gu Xiaojun, and Li Ergou, just like him, with their eyes wide open, and they looked at the big food camp in the distance without blinking. However, even if their eyes were sour, in their eyes, there were only some overlapping fires in the distance, and they couldn't tell what kind of trenches, walls, or deer barricades could not be distinguished. But in Xiao Quai's eyes, it was as clear as looking at his palm.

Li Ergou asked on the side, "Is there any good way?" ”

"What's the solution?" Xiao Qu was stunned for a moment: "Who said that I was going to attack the Great Food Army Village?" Are you really stupid for me to be like those Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms Dehegan? ”

"Then why did you come to see the Great Food Barracks, you have been watching it for so long and so carefully!" Li Ergou thought to himself, it's good to show off your eyesight.

Xiao Quzhi said seriously: "I just feel that something is wrong with the big food in the past few days, and I can't shrink back from such a small setback, it turns out that I am preparing to secretly increase the troops." ”

The Anxi army and the big food army have been facing each other for more than two days more than 100 miles, the morale of the big food army is low, maybe they are afraid of the Anxi army, they have been cowering in the camp for the past few days, close to the military station in the direction of Dongcao, all the big cannibals in the city have withdrawn to the big camp, and the patrol and sentry cavalry are only sent out for three miles, and only the left side of the big camp is carefully covered.

The Great Food Army put on such an obvious defensive posture, and the Dehegans of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, who had already defected to the Anxi Army, naturally had a great morale boost and were excited. Xiao Quzhi and Duan Xiushi are also happy to see this, their task is to contain the main force of the Great Food, if the Great Food Army has been unable to shrink like this, until the main force of Gao Xianzhi defeats Talas City, it will really be better.

Some of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms Dehegan, who were full of confidence, even suggested that the two of them hurry up and build catapults and carts, without waiting for Gao Xianzhi's main force to arrive, and attack the big food camp first. Xiao Quzhi and Duan Xiushi immediately vetoed these proposals to underestimate the enemy, and it was true that the Great Food Army was temporarily frustrated, but it did not mean that the Great Food was vulnerable from now on.

If you despise the big food because of this, you will definitely die a miserable death in the end. Fortunately, Xiao Quzhi knew that the Great Food was almost all detailed, and knew that the Great Food was powerful, and it was impossible to be defeated easily. After appeasing these Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms Dehegan and soldiers, Xiao Qubing sent people to actively contact the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms people who were in the Dashi Military Camp.

Xiao Quzhi came out this time, on the one hand, he wanted to see the situation of the Great Food Army from a high place, and on the other hand, he made an appointment with the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms on the side of the Great Food to meet at midnight.

Gu Xiaojun frowned and said, "Whether to increase the number of troops, wait and ask those people from the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms." Only, if that's the case, what are we going to do? ”

"Joon, tell me what you think." Xiao Qu was sick and guided.

Gu Xiaojun pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Listen to you, the big cannibals are very superstitious about Hu Da? Why don't you give them another Spitfire Meteor every night to demoralize them? At the same time, we will step up efforts to divide the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms in their ranks, and let them cooperate with our actions. At a critical time, the inside and outside should be combined, and it is not difficult to break it. I really can't do it, just use that kind of baby! ”

"You're right, you're good." Xiao Quzhi smiled, "But after all, there is no certainty of victory, the big cannibals are now learning to be obedient, and they are easy not to go out of the camp, that is, to patrol the sentry horse, as soon as we approach, they also quickly retreated into the camp." It's hard to lure them out and eat them like last time.

These big cannibals, calm and terrible, they want to wear down our morale by holding on. Wait until our morale is almost depleted, and their forces are replenished, and then they will come out to fight us. At that time, they are mourning soldiers, who have held back for so long, and their morale is high, but we have become tired soldiers, and our morale is low, and we are only afraid that we will suffer. ”

"What then?"

"There is no good way, we can't defeat this camp, we can only hold on. In addition, we should not excessively stimulate them, and at the same time, we should pay attention to the ideological work of the fighters, avoid the mentality of seeking war, and maintain the morale of the soldiers. ”

"How do you keep it?"

"Well, I'll think about it." Xiao Quzhi tilted his head and recalled the situation when the master talked about the confrontation between our army and the Vietnamese monkeys on Wudang Mountain. When it comes to doing ideological work, we are the best in the world: "We can tell the soldiers stories, reason, how bad and rich the cannibals are, and how rich the cannibals are...... In addition, organize more activities or something, perform programs, sing songs, and play games...... In short, as long as our side can maintain high morale, the longer we hold on here, the better it will be for us. ”

The trio's eyes widened, for the first time they had heard of such a method to maintain morale. It feels incredible, but when you think about it, it should work well.

Li Ergou couldn't help but say, "This is also what your master taught?" ”

"Of course." Xiao Quzhi affirmed.

"Haven't you finished telling the story of your flower planter beating footpot chickens? Last time I talked about Wang Erxiao and Haiwa, who are you talking about this time? ”

"There are too few listeners, go back and talk about it, next time I talk about your own family, called Li Yunlong." Xiao Quzhi looked at the sky, and there were still more than two hours before midnight: "Let's take a rest first!" ”

At the same time, a few miles away at the foot of the mountain, the Great Food Barracks, and Posilin, like Ziyad, had not slept, and was discussing something in a low voice in the Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

"Emir, half of the 40,000 Arab militias urgently conscripted have arrived, and the remaining half will arrive in two days, and the 10,000 mercenaries requisitioned from Khorezm will arrive in another five or six days. In addition to our existing 13,000 Khorasan religious warriors and 5,000 Syrian mercenaries, excluding the Zhaowu 9** team, which cannot stand, we now have more than 38,000 troops on hand. The other side only has more than 10,000 troops, do you want to go to battle tomorrow to test the opponent's reality. ”

Ziyad asked very respectfully.

And Posilin waved his hand: "It's better to wait until all the 40,000 Arab militia arrive, it's not a day or two." The information hasn't been figured out yet, and we don't know where Gao Xianzhi's main force is now. They put more than 10,000 people under our noses, what if it is a trick to lure the enemy? ”

Speaking of the plan to lure the enemy, Qi Yad was silent for a moment and stopped talking.

Seeing that he didn't speak, he changed the subject and said, "What happened to those people from the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu?" Did you send someone to keep an eye on that Kang Pan? ”

"These capricious hyenas, wallgrass!" Qi Yade gritted his teeth and said, "More than thirty people have been arranged to monitor him day and night, and they will report to me as soon as there is a situation; In addition, I also bribed two of his cronies! ”
