Since the Peacock Country has produced a genius military strategist, whether it is Da'an or the Northern Desert, he basically does not dare to provoke others, but fortunately, the Peacock Country is not much to do, and he explained early that he only does business and does not fight.

Since then, no matter how many pinching these two countries are, they will not take the initiative to provoke that side, no, if the information is true, the Northern Desert is going to be ruined.

"How many men and horses are there in our border army? I remember there used to be more than 6,000, right? ”

"Now it's only five thousand, and some time ago, some disabled and old and weak soldiers were discharged,"

With one block ten! How is this possible to win? The people of the Northern Desert are completely defeated in Da'an in terms of physique, if they crush it again in terms of numbers, how can this battle be fought?

"Now we can only urgently recruit soldiers, but we can't recruit so many people at a time." King Ding's brows were tightened, in fact, he had asked for conscription some time ago, but he was rejected by the emperor on the grounds of food.

"Five thousand people are indeed too few, if you want to have fewer enemies, you have to retreat to the city, once the army withdraws, the people around this will suffer."

The two of them stared at each other, and suddenly, they slapped their thighs at the same time,

"Preemptive strike!" That's right, since it is not advisable to retreat to the capital city, then go forward and capture a city, and then defend it to the death.

"I wrote a note to the emperor, asking for reinforcements, and then we went out of the city overnight, taking advantage of the fact that the other party's army had not arrived, and occupied the Yellow Sand Castle in front first!"

Yellow Sand Castle? This name is very familiar, she looked at King Ding, the other party nodded, and his face was slightly pale.

"That's right, it's the place where Xiu'er's father died in battle, back then, in order to protect the emperor, he was pierced through his heart by ten thousand swords, I'm sorry for Xiu'er's brothers and sisters, I'm sorry for their mother."

It turned out that he couldn't save his son, for the sake of the emperor's safety, he could only give up the rescue and protect the emperor to retreat first.

Although Manqing couldn't understand it, she respected this old man, if it wasn't really out of the question, who would give up her son?

"Tell me about the Yellow Sand Castle, is that place difficult to attack?"

"It is the strongest barrier between the two countries, the entire city wall is more than a zhang, very tall, it was built by the founding saint of Da'an, the Martyr's Sect, eleven years ago, Da'an was hit hard, and then ceded this place, which is also the most painful thing in my heart."

"Okay, since the Northern Desert doesn't want peace, then let's take the opportunity to take it back, with this barrier, the border people can be more peaceful."

Just do it, King Ding quickly wrote a note, reported the situation here to the emperor, and immediately recruited the deputy generals and told them his decision.

As soon as King Ding's words came out, the bottom immediately exploded, some were excited, such as Tie Niu, and some were discouraged, and soon, Manqing came to the conclusion that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you want to take it in a short time, it is like a dream.

"How many defenders are there in the Yellow Sand Castle? Are there any residents inside? ”

As soon as her words fell, her eyes turned around, and she realized that there was a little girl in the marshal's military tent, some of whom she knew, such as Tie Niu, and some of whom she didn't know, blurted out and asked,

"Who are you, how can you be in the big tent, is this where you are staying?"

"Presumptuous, this is the county lord of Minghui, without her, you would have to go hungry, some people know it, I heard that when Xiu'er was there, she helped a lot."

"I know, of course I know, the sauce in our military camp was invented by Miss Su, hehehe, you didn't even look for me when you came!"

"Uncle Niu, I also have something to do here, don't believe it, you ask Grandpa Wang, we don't have much time, tell me, what is the biggest difficulty in attacking Huangsha Castle?" She can't put on armor to go into battle, but she can still solve some hard bones for them.

When Tie Niu heard this, his face turned grim, and he began to analyze,

"The Yellow Sand Fort is rectangular, it was originally a fortification, and it was not inhabited, so it was strong on all sides, and there were barracks inside, and there were no people in the earliest days."

"You just said that now, how many troops are stationed in it, and what are the conventional weapons used?"

"Hehe, don't worry, at present, there are only 6,000 troops stationed inside, but there are 20,000 people, these people, some are from Da'an, some are from the Northern Desert, and they have also intermarried with each other. Weapons include bows and arrows and spears. ”

Man Qing nodded, thinking in his heart, these 20,000 people don't think about it, not to mention that there are Da'an people, even if the people of Beimo are not soldiers, they may not be willing to fight, but there is something that has to be said in advance,

"Grandpa Dingwang, you have to promise me one thing, if you can't do it, I can't help."

"What's the matter? Tell me about it. ”

"If you capture the Yellow Sand Castle, you can't slaughter the city, this is my bottom line, although they have a certain danger, you can drive them out, but you can't slaughter the city."

"Don't worry, no one in our camp does this kind of thing that violates the yin owl." After King Ding finished speaking, he looked at the faces of those subordinates one by one, until everyone made a guarantee.

"Tomorrow, you organize a siege, of course, just for show, tonight I will bring people in, if you succeed, you will release signal flares inside, if you see the red one, you will start the siege in a quarter of an hour, I will open the city gate inside."

She planned to take Ah Yuan and Ah Shuang there, with the ability of the three of them, it would be no problem to seize a city gate, when the time came, she would only watch the battle from the sidelines, and the two of them would do it, anyway, they had just entered and were not controlled by the rules.

After she finished speaking, she planned to leave immediately, after all, she had to discuss it with those two, who knows, the people in the big tent were like clay sculptures, looking at her in a daze, like looking at monsters,

"What's wrong? What do you think is wrong? ”

"Nothing is right! Little girl, the Yellow Sand Castle is not a market, how can you get in? You must know that there is a household registration system inside, and if it is not the residents there, they will not be able to enter at all, even if they are relatives. ”

"Well, I didn't make it clear just now, I was planning to find a way to get in, and I didn't say go through the city gate."

"Ah, don't go through the city gates? Do you know how high the walls are? That's no ordinary wall. ”

This time, even King Ding was not calm, and he also reminded him.

"I know, can a city wall be called a city wall if it is not high? But it's not a problem for me, you guys should hurry up and organize the people, and I have to make some preparations. ”

Can I tell you what I can do? Under everyone's distrustful gaze, Man Qing hurried back to the inn, and as soon as she told Ah Yuan and them, the two of them suddenly became excited, they had been practicing for so long, and they hadn't tried how much their skills had improved, and the two of them usually practiced against each other, and they couldn't try it at all.

"Girl, shall we go tonight? I am walking on the city wall, where do you seem to have a long rope? "Ah Yuan remembered, the last time I went down the cliff, the rope was still in the girl's ring,

"What rope do you want? You've been practicing light skills for so long, can't you fly? ”
