Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Strategy to Attack Shuofang
Xu Ziling and a few people followed Xue Wanche with laughter and laughter, and five hundred light horsemen quickly came to Shuofang City.
Not far from the city gate, Xu Ziling could see the bright banner of the Tang Army early, and there was no doubt that it should be Chai Shao's troops.
Xue Wanche led the cavalry to quickly join Chai Shao, and at this moment Chai Shao was riding a sturdy black horse, staring at the Shuofang City Gate with his eyes.
"General! I'm waiting for the Turks to be broken! Xue Wanche rode a horse to Chai Shao, who had a sad face, and said happily.
"Oh? Really? Good! You will take the lead in this battle. When Chai Shao heard the news, a smile appeared on his face.
"No, no, the head of this battle is General Xu Lang, he is brave and strategic, leading the cavalry to attack the enemy, don't you see the appearance of that guy, that group of cavalry is under the command of that kid, like a pack of wolves!" Xue Wanche mentioned Xu Ziling, his face was full of excitement and admiration.
"Oh? Is this true? Chai Shao asked in disbelief, he had never regarded Xu Ziling as a soldier, but after hearing Chai Shao's description at this moment, his heart was filled with turmoil, and people should not be disgraced!
"By the way, General, haven't you given the order to attack the city gates?" After Xue Wanche saw that the army was stationed on the spot, he asked Chai Shaodao suspiciously.
"Hey, attacked, Shuofang is impregnable, attacking the city at this moment is tantamount to letting the brothers die!" Chai Shao said, "Now the army is divided into two factions, one is to continue to attack the city gate, and the other is to attack the city gate after clearing its perimeter first. ”
"Well, what do you mean, General?" Xue Wanche asked.
"I'd rather be inclined to storm the gates, but that would result in a large number of brothers being killed, which I don't want to see, by the way, what do you suggest?" Chai Shao asked.
"I can't come up with any good ideas when I arrive." Xue Wanche thought for a while and said, "But we can ask General Xu Lang, this person has always had a lot of ideas, maybe he can have any good opinions!" ”
"He? How can a general of the internal guard know how to march and fight? Chai Shao said.
"Let's ask first, maybe there will be some surprises! It is no accident that this person can be favored by His Majesty, and he will definitely have his ability! Xue Wanche said.
"Go and call him!"
After Xue Wanche listened to Chai Shao's order, he found Xu Ziling with a big grin, this guy was bragging nonsense with the five hundred people who had just won the battle, but looking at the group of cavalry laughing, he knew that this kid was very good in the army.
If Chai Shao, as the commander, governs the army well and has strict military orders, then Xu Ziling, this kid, is the kind of old fox on the battlefield who is a leader in battle and a friend in private!
This kind of person can easily make his brothers willing to die for him, out of personal charm, not the kind of work of superiors and subordinates!
This kid is the same as Li Shimin back then, and his personal charm is very strong!
"Brother Xu, General Chai is invited!" After Xue Wanche came to the middle of this group of cavalry, he could clearly feel that this group of soldiers was restrained.
"Oh oh, good!" After Xu Ziling responded, he and Xue Wanche came to Chai Shao.
"Haha, General Xu Lang, congratulations, the first merit won in battle, I'm afraid I will have to be promoted again after going back to the Jingshi!" Chai Shao congratulated happily, how could there be a little bit of Xu Ziling's expression on his face, this relationship is intimate, and he can't wait to recognize Xu Ziling as his own brother.
"Eh, what did the general say, this is General Xue's credit, but this credit is not General Xue's!" Xu Ziling is also the same as Chai Shao, the old fox, although he despises the old fox very much in his heart, but he also has the kind of expression like a brother on his face.
Oh, this kid turned out to be the kind of person who rejoiced in his achievements! When Chai Shao heard Xu Ziling say that this skill was not Xue Wanche, his heart was filled with fierce contempt, this guy would be able to win the battle merit, no wonder he could go from a team under the ninth rank to a sixth-grade general in such a short period of time!
Chai Shao looked down on this kind of person in his heart, but this kid was a celebrity next to Li Shimin, Chai Shao didn't need to offend, so he said: "Naturally, this head is Xu Langjiang's!" ”
"Huh? What did General Chai say? I don't dare to do this, the first work belongs to the brothers, if it weren't for the brothers fighting to the death, how could we win? So this General Xue can't be regarded as the first merit, as for me, I'm just going to fight soy sauce! Xu Ziling said modestly.
This is the art of speaking, Lao Tzu wants to say that the first work is mine, and I also want to be added to the official rank, but if he says these words at this moment, then Lao Tzu is really a little white, and he is a white man in two lifetimes!
Sure enough, Chai Shao's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he secretly scolded himself in his heart for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
"That's right, what Brother Xu said is extremely true!" Chai Shao said with a smile.
This guy is good at being a man, he just returned Xu Langjiang, and now he will start Xu Lao!
"By the way, brother, brother, I have a problem, can you help my brother analyze it?" Chai Shao told Xu Ziling about the two siege strategies he had just told Xue Wanche.
"Brother Xu, if it were you, how would you choose!" Chai Shao asked after speaking.
"I won't choose either of these two options!" Xu Ziling squinted his eyes and looked at Shuofang City Road in front of him.
"Oh? So how can I break the city? Chai Shao asked suspiciously.
"If you follow your two methods, you also said, it is equivalent to letting the brothers die for nothing, they are all ordinary people, they are the backbone of the family, if they die, how many white-haired people will send black-haired people? Hey, one will become ten thousand bones! Xu Ziling couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
"There will always be deaths in war, and we cannot be merciful!" Chai Shao thought that Xu Ziling was soft-hearted, it seems that this kid is still too tender, after experiencing this kind of scene a few times, you will understand that the benevolence of women will not work on the battlefield.
"Yes, but why do you want your brothers to die? If that's the case, it's really the manager's responsibility! Xu Ziling said.
"Oh? Brother Xu, don't you have any good ideas, hurry up and talk to Brother Yu! Chai Shao was shocked and hurriedly asked.
"Sleepy!" Xu Ziling said lightly, "Surround all Shuofang City, and release the words, just say that the Turks have been defeated by the Tang army, and Shuofang will no longer have troops to support!" ”
"You mean to spread rumors, cause internal turmoil, and then break themselves? Good strategy, good strategy, blame me for being too anxious, I didn't think of this aspect, if I really take the siege, it will really kill my Tang boy! Chai Shao said.
"No, I mean, we'll be stuck for days, the city will be short of food, and they'll surrender!" Xu Ziling Road.
Chai Shao: "......"
