Chapter Forty-Eight: Counting Counts

Chen Gong saw from a distance outside the city, and after Zhang Xun's army still retreated in an orderly manner, he immediately sent someone to report the good news to Bai Tu.

At the same time, it can be clearly seen that the other party has also set aside the army behind the palace to prevent a sneak attack......

Chen Gong wrote in the war book that if he agreed, Zhang Xunbing needed to retreat twenty miles—otherwise it would be too close, and the defenders would not dare to leave the city.

Since Zhang Xun is retiring from the army, he thinks he has agreed to the war letter.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chen Gong to wait for Zhang Xun's reply, and he just rode forward, shot arrows directly to the city tower, and then walked away.

"Tomorrow? He's really in a hurry...... Afraid that I will cheat? That's going to be disappointing. Chen Gong muttered after reading the letter.

It didn't take long for Bai Tu to come to the city tower again, read Zhang Xun's letter, and then his eyes lit up and said: "Haha, this Zhang Xun is not as expected by the public platform, so tomorrow the public platform will bring four thousand Qu'a pikemen, and the father-in-law will bring a thousand wolf horses, let that Zhang Xun know that he is powerful!" ”

"The palace only needs three thousand new troops, and the remaining one thousand will also ask Bai Gong to preside over Qu'a." Chen Gong said.

He also expected that Zhang Xun would definitely have no face to really "attack it with five rules", and it was likely that he would choose to pull more people out of the city!

At this moment, Chen Gong suddenly saw that ten miles west of the city, in a mountain forest far from the site of the battle, the bird was startled, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and asked Bai Tu: "Bai Gong, over there...... Is it a laborer who is logging? ”

"That's right, you see? Do you want to ......" Bai Tu was also taken aback.

Because at this time, the various workshops were still producing the equipment for defending the city - the number of wolf fangs was not enough to equip all the city walls at the same time, and there were other equipment.

Therefore, Bai Tu did not stop logging, but in order to avoid being attacked by Zhang Xunjun, he sent some grain and grass to cut down in the mountains and forests ten miles away, and he had already instructed the supervisor of the real person, telling him that if he was still discovered, he could surrender directly.

Now it seems that Chen Gong found out at a glance?

"Bai Gong is wise!" Chen Gong said.

White Picture: ???

Bai Tu is also inexplicable, he has been discovered, how can he still be wise?

Forget it, Bai Tu is an easy-going person, since Chen Gong must say so, Bai Tu also smiled and nodded.

Let's say that Zhang Xun retreated twenty miles, and he was not worried that it was a delaying strategy, after all, he made an appointment directly until tomorrow, no matter what reason Chen Gong used to refuse, Zhang Xun made up his mind that he would not delay it for more than three days.

Even if he was delayed for three days because of this, Zhang Xun was not worried, after all, according to the current situation, attacking the city was far from being able to accomplish it in a few days.

And the other party's strategy of delaying the army with "breaking the trust of the battle" is no less than the blow to the morale of the army that Zhang Xun has attacked for three days!

Cold weapon warfare, what you fight for is morale, and once the morale collapses, the million-strong army will only have the share of the wind and the grass and trees.

And when he retreated to camp, Zhang Xun also suddenly observed that the birds in the western woods were frightened and wandered over the forest!

"Huh? Take the map! Zhang Xun hurriedly said.

After that, I saw him look at the sketch map of the Qu'a area for a long time, comparing and comparing, and finally came to a conclusion-the other end of this forest, near the place of the battle tomorrow morning, startled the army at the place of the bird, if they took advantage of the night to hurry, they could go to the area around the flat land of the battle tomorrow morning......

"Sure enough, there is a deception...... Generals and above have been called to discuss matters! Zhang Xun said.

When the crowd entered the tent, they saw Zhang Xun making the appearance of Zhizhu in his hand, looking at the map in front of him with deep eyes, and it looked like he had been concave for a long time.

"Chen Gong is treacherous, and his reputation is well deserved! If it weren't for General Ben's cleverness, he would have been almost deceived by him. Zhang Xun said, pointing to the direction of the woods where he found people.

"Just now I saw that the birds here are not falling, hovering in the forest, there must be a large number of people passing by, and tomorrow I am going to fight with Chen Gong here, I can also walk through the forest!

This Chen Gong's idea must be to bluff in the battle tomorrow, and when our army attacks the main formation on his surface, the elite will burst out of the forest on the side and rush straight to the general under my command......" Zhang Xun has a tone and eyes that I have seen through everything.

Li Feng, Liang Gang and the rest of the generals, at this time, followed Zhang Xun's train of thought, looked at the map, and found that this was really the case!

In addition, Chen Gong's appointment battle is indeed inexplicable, three thousand against fifteen thousand? It is said that there is no calculation in it, and the generals present will not believe it.

At this time, the ambush was discovered, which made everyone worry about it.

"The general is wise! Then let's simply ignore his appointment and go back to the city to scold! ”

"Wait, before we do that, we can go hunt down those who are out of town and ambush......"

The generals came up with ideas, but Zhang Xun made a look of "hating iron does not become steel" at this time, and said: "In this way, isn't it back to the beginning?" What can you do if you kill a few soldiers, as long as they have enough men to defend the city, even if they are generals, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money and food to defeat this song. ”

"What does the general mean...... Will it be counted? Liang Gang said along with Zhang Xun.

"Yes, if they want to ambush, then ambush! Look here...... There is also a place where there is a lot of vegetation, so I can set up an elite here, and when the opponent is ambushed and charged, I can immediately attack from the flank and catch him off guard! Zhang Xun said.

"General, ...... over there" Li Feng looked a little hesitant.

"Oh, the ambush will only take 6,000 elites, and when I fill the main formation with 5,000 recruits, and then I will make more flags and make noise in the camp behind me, how will they find out?" Zhang Xun said confidently.

In the end, Zhang Xun made a decision that 5,000 recruits, 3,000 elites, and 2,000 cavalry, and tomorrow they would fight head-on with Chen Gong, and then ambush 6,000 elites on the way to the opponent's ambush, leaving 4,000 people to either defend the generals, or bluff in the camp, and make a large appearance.

Zhang Xun is not afraid of Chen Gong's deception, but he is afraid that he will not come out!

"General, do you want to scout how many ambushes there are in the forest first?" Li Feng proposed.

"Not necessarily! The other party specially took advantage of the night to come, and he must be cautious, in case he startles the snake, he is afraid that Chen Gong will not dare to come out. Zhang Xun refused.

Li Feng was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he thought that the soldiers of Qu'a City were no more than 5,000 at most, even if Zhang Xun made a mistake in judgment, whether it was the elite of the main formation or the ambush, he was sure of victory in battle, so he didn't speak again......

Especially that night, Chen Gong's reply also arrived, and he directly agreed to fight tomorrow, which convinced Zhang Xun that the other party was ambushing and beheading.

Zhang Xun has already written tomorrow's "script" in his heart, and even when Yuan Shu appointed him as the pastor of Yangzhou and the governor of Dadu, most of the words he wanted to thank him were drafted!

Early the next morning, when Zhang Xunjun was erecting a high platform, the scout came to report that Qu Ajun had also appeared......
