"Report!"

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came from far and near, and they shouted one after another, indicating the identity of the person who came, and it was the scout team sent out by Wang Shao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But at this moment, only one person turned around, Wang Shao saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and said secretly: "If the scout team fights the enemy, won't it expose the whereabouts of our army?" It is difficult to sneak attack, and the book of war says, win by surprise, and match by chance. The odd soldiers don't work, how can they win the Khitan army? ”

While thinking about it, the scout quickly entered the barracks unimpeded with the scout token in his hand. Not far from Wang Shao's tent, the scout turned over and dismounted, and entered the tent.

Wang Shao attaches great importance to intelligence, and he gives tokens to both the Inspectors and Scouts, allowing them to go unimpeded. If it is an idle person, etc., he will be shot into a hedgehog before a hundred steps in the barracks.

In order to ensure the nature of the strange soldiers, Wang Shao set up the camp on the other side of the mountain near Youzhou City, and was not allowed to make a fire for cooking. A few days ago, a scout found the Han army who came to cut wood, but they all held back and did not move.

Through the collection of intelligence, Wang Shao knew that the Khitan army was extremely short of siege equipment, and he originally wanted to wipe out the Han army in this way, so that they could not manufacture siege equipment, so they could not pose a threat to Youzhou City.

But after thinking about it, Wang Shao decided to stay put, and strictly controlled the forbidden army, so that they would not alarm the Han army and the Khitans who supervised them, so as not to cause a major incident.

Why didn't Wang Shao wipe out the Han army that made siege equipment? The reason is: if the Han army is killed, the remaining Khitan army has two choices, one is to retreat immediately and no longer attack Youzhou City; The second is to continue the attack and transfer siege equipment from other places.

Wang Shao felt that the second possibility was more likely. This time, the Khitans seemed to attack with great determination, and they fought to the death. Even if tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed and injured in the past few days, they still hit Youzhou City the same. It shows that the Khitan people are determined to win Youzhou City, and they will not feel heartache if they kill the Han army, which is inferior to pigs and dogs in their eyes. It's a big deal to spend a little more time and bring siege equipment from other places.

In that case, why expose your tracks for the sake of an inconsequential Han army? Wang Shao decided to endure it, wait and see, and wait for the opportunity.

But the sudden scout made Wang Shao tremble, for fear that the enemy would find his traces.

After a short time, the scout entered the camp, gave a military salute to Wang Shao, and said: "Tell the commander, my team has found out the news that the Khitan has been attacking the city for days, and the soldiers have a lot of grievances. Morale is not high, and external precautions are not strict. ”

After hearing what the scout said, Wang Shao felt that the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. At this moment, he is far from being as strategizing as in history, and naturally he can't do the spirit of Mount Tai collapsing in front and not changing, and the elk being on the left and not looking at the moment.

Wang Shao asked, "What about the rest of your team, have they been discovered by the enemy?" ”

The scout replied, "The rest of the squad is secretly monitoring the Khitan army, and they don't dare to get too close. The scouts of the Khitan army are not dense, and the range of activities is not far. We all arrived on foot, not daring to alarm the enemy. ”

Wang Shao praised them for their scout work, and asked in detail about the situation of the Khitan camp before letting him go, and began to think in his heart again: "Attacking their siege equipment will definitely not receive a surprising winning effect, so what can a sneak attack make the Khitan army defeated?" ”、

Wang Shao paced in the big tent of the Chinese army, thinking carefully about the information he had obtained: "The Khitans have never brought supplies, and most of them have provided their own military food. But without daring to get too close, it is difficult to find out how many days of rations each of them had. In addition, they have a lot of mare's milk, and drinking mare's milk can also replenish their physical strength. This is quite worth learning, but there are not many Dashun horses...... Alas, it is really difficult to find out the flaws of the Khitan army. Only when they did not have enough rations could they force them back from the night raid and steal the camp. It's just that how do you know that they are short of food, they have no rations, they will definitely return to the army as soon as possible, and it will be too late to steal the camp! ”

Wang Shao had the intention of setting up an ambush on the road, but saw that the terrain in front of Youzhou City was a grassland, and there was no danger to defend. How can a group of up to 10,000 men and horses be ambushed? It's almost the same as being made dumplings!

Wang Shao, who was at a loss, became impatient. Over and over again, he told himself to be calm, to be calm, not to be impulsive. Slowly calmed down, and said in his heart: "Let's wait and see, before the Khitan army runs out of food, there will definitely be an omen." ”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Khitan military camp is also dull. If you can't attack for a long time, the impact on morale is the greatest. It's okay if it's not the Khitan soldiers, the Khitan soldiers began to complain: "Why don't you let the Han army attack the city and let our noble Khitans fill in their lives?" ”

"That's right, the lives of our Khitans are worth more than them......"

"Shhh......h

At this time, a general came out of the tent and shouted, "What are you muttering here, not going on patrol?" ”

These patrolling Khitan soldiers didn't dare to say more, picked up their sabers, walked to the depths of the barracks. The officer scolded and scolded all the way to the big tent of the Khitan Chinese army. At this time, many generals had gathered in the big tent of the Khitan Chinese army, and everyone was waiting for Yelu Chongyuan's anger with anxiety.

And Xiao Feng watched coldly from the side, snorted almost inaudibly, and didn't say much.

After the generals arrived, Yelu Chongyuan, who was sitting on the white tiger chair, snorted heavily and said angrily: "What kind of battle are you fighting, ah? Can't even take such a small city, and say that he is the strongest army in the world? The food we brought with us could only last for forty days at most, and now more than half of it has passed, and if we can't break the city within ten days, we will definitely have to withdraw our troops. When the time comes, where will you put the face of this imperial uncle you call me? ”

Almost all of them were the generals of his direct troops, and they all had ashamed expressions on their faces when they heard this. At this time, a general cautiously said: "Our army is only good at field warfare, why not lure the enemy out of the city and fight a decisive battle with him?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan said angrily: "People even seal the city gate, how to lure the enemy out of the city? "It turned out that the soldier who hit the city gate today reported that the city gate was full of sandbags and stones, and it was almost impossible to open it from the outside.

The general said: "We have been defeated a few times, and we have shown that we have no combat effectiveness, isn't it?" ”

Another general said disdainfully: "It's better to write a letter into the city to persuade you to surrender, it's just whimsical." ”

Hearing this, Yelu Chongyuan's eyes lit up: "Persuasion? Good idea! Why didn't anyone think about it before? ”

The general who spoke was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that no one has persuaded me to surrender before, but those Han people simply ignored it." We treat the Han people like pigs and dogs, where are they willing to surrender? ”
