Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Gamble

At the darkest hour before dawn, a dove flew up in the night and flew from an inconspicuous corner of the town to the camp of the rebels outside the city.

Moments later, the pigeon was discovered, and the note tied to the pigeon's leg was urgently presented to the commander of the rebel army.

It has to be said that it was a sleepless night not only for the officers and soldiers, but also for the rebel army.

If the officers and soldiers did launch a sneak attack tonight, they would be horrified to find that they would be greeted in the camp by the rebel soldiers who were waiting for them.

The commander of the rebel army, who had not closed his eyes all night, took the note, sneered, and ordered: "Pass my general's order, after dawn, the four gates will feint at the same time, if the officers and troops break through from the west gate, after a little resistance, let them pass, ambush 3,000 soldiers and horses five miles outside the west gate, and then attack back and forth when they pass, and the three gates of the southeast, north and south will take advantage of the situation to capture the city!" ”

The news of the spies in the city came very timely, and the commander was very glad that the decision to insert the spies into the city in advance was so wise that he could easily defeat his opponents, and who would want to waste their vital strength in a siege battle? After all, there are too many battles to fight in the future!

…………

At this time, Wang Hao and the others had already followed Bu Qingzheng back to his residence.

The plan has been decided, the details have been discussed properly, and the rest is Qian Yue's business, Wang Hao and they can't do anything to get involved, after all, they are not in the official army, and it is impossible to meddle in military affairs.

Originally, Wang Hao's plan was to go out of the city with the sneak attack troops, and then choose the opportunity to leave the battlefield, because he knew that even if the sneak attack was successful, it was estimated that it would be difficult to change the situation of the battle, and it was still very dangerous to stay in the city. But judging from the news he got from Qian Yue, Wang Hao actually found a glimmer of hope for victory!

For Wang Hao, if there is any hope of winning, even if it is only a little bit, he is not willing to run away with his tail between his legs, it is not a matter of face, the key is that he can't get over it in his own heart.

Compared with Guo Da's accurate grasp of the situation, Wang Hao is better at being quick and wise, and can often come up with ideas that others can't think of at critical moments.

A series of questions, details and countermeasures were handled in the same way in the conversation between him and Qian Yue.

"Brother Wang, how sure do you think you can win this battle?" Marlowe couldn't help asking.

"Five-five." Wang Hao said lightly.

"Why Five-Five?" Guo Da was also curious.

"It's not winning, it's losing, isn't it five-five?" Wang Hao said as a matter of course.

“……”

While a few people were chatting, Qian Yue had already completed the assembly outside the city with his two thousand elites.

The defense of the city has been handed over to several generals under his command, and no one knows that the city headquarters is empty at this time. No one is surprised that Qian Yue personally led the troops to participate in the sneak attack, he was originally a partial general, and a partial general took the lead in organizing an important operation, isn't it a very normal thing?

Only Qian Yue himself knows that he can't find someone more capable of organizing this life-and-death sneak attack.

However, what surprised him the most was that the rebel camp was really as Wang Hao expected, and sent a team not long ago, with two or three thousand people, according to his judgment, there would never be more than two thousand soldiers in the rebel camp at this moment.

Qian Yue knew that if all the situations predicted by Wang Hao happened, what a great credit would be waiting for him for him, and the more excited Qian was, the more Qian felt that time was passing more and more slowly.

With another thousand soldiers and horses out of the rebel camp, the expected siege battle came as scheduled.

Those who don't know still think that the general offensive of the rebel army has begun, and those who know the inside story, whether it is the official army or the rebel army, know very well that this is just an appetizer.

It was said that it was a feint, and although the rebel army moved greatly, the casualties caused to both sides were not large.

The commander of the rebel army did not know that there was no commander in Merlin Town at this time, there were no elite troops, and the defenders of the city were a group of rabble, if he knew, the city would have been broken long ago if the attack on that gate had been intensified.

For Wang Hao, this is a gamble, especially when he knows that except for the two thousand elites in the town, the others are all soldiers who are not able to fight, so he bets that the other party's appetite is big enough to swallow the defenders here at the smallest cost, if the other party does not accept the recruitment, or the spies in the city fail to spread the news in time, they in the city can only be tied up, but the more Qian who goes out to sneak attack, the more he can see that the situation is not good, and he will leave first - he doesn't know that he doesn't dare to let Qian Yue go.

If anyone can get an overview of the entire battlefield, they will definitely find that this is a strange battle.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the breakthrough of the officers and troops.

When formulating the plan, Wang Hao specially arranged the time for the western breakthrough to be postponed, in order to allow the ambush troops of the rebel army to have enough time to be in place.

The troops who sneak up on the attack act according to the signals sent by the breakthrough troops, and if they break through early, the sneak attack will be early, and the rebels may find themselves fooled and recall the ambushed troops. Only after the ambushed troops and the breaking troops are glued together can the sneak attack be guaranteed to achieve the maximum gain.

Of course, any plan has to be sacrificed, and how many people who serve as the breakthrough force can survive in the end is not within the scope of Wang Hao's consideration, perhaps, without Wang Hao's plan, these people would have been unable to escape.

In order to ensure that the breakthrough troops have enough impact, Wang Hao suggested that Qian Yue fake the drama and let the people who break through know that they are really breaking through, which Wang Hao believes is very important.

Because at this time, the officers and soldiers of Meilin Town did not have the slightest confidence in holding Meilin Town, and if there was a chance to break through, many people were willing to participate, in their opinion, although it was dangerous to break through, it was better than staying in the city.

However, if the people who broke through knew that they were just a decoy to drive them to death, how many people would be willing to die?

As I said earlier, except for the 2,000 elites, the rest of the defenders are a rabble, and not all teams can act as death squads.

Time flies slowly, but there is always a time.

The 2,000 officers and men waiting to break through the siege had already lined up in the west gate, and could only send the agreed signal.

Wang Hao and the others were also near the West Gate at this time, quietly watching these soldiers who were about to set off.

Many people have used all kinds of connections in order to be able to join this breakthrough team, and I have to say, this is a joke.

With a long whistle of "chirp", the trumpet arrow suddenly rose into the air.
