Chapter 61: The Second Use of Troops
Bai Ling briefly stated the details to everyone, recalling all the things back then, Bai Ling sighed for a while.
Lan Zhijun did not cause a big mess in Pingjing at the beginning, and perhaps the biggest hero was Heng Yuanjun.
This pair of twins whose fates are entangled, probably officially tore their faces for the first time in that year, when Hengyuan Jun was a chess player, and he scored no worse for poisoning, arson, and surprise attacks outside the city.
It's just that now when she tells the past, in order to be concise and avoid getting entangled in too many irrelevant details, she can only attribute all this to a few humeral ministers in the cabinet.
"As expected, I'm afraid that today's two heads are the same." Bai Ling said softly, "Since the city has successfully burned down the granary, I am afraid that most of the water sources will not be able to be used in the short term. β
ββ¦β¦ No wonder they haven't fought a tough siege battle from last night to this morning," the garrison around Wang Meng finally reacted, "They want to drag it out until they are unable to attack at both ends!" β
Looking at the increasingly fierce black smoke in the city, everyone suddenly became anxious.
If everything Bai Ling said was true, then whether it was Chen Shubai, the young pavilion master who saw the An Pavilion in the old days, or Lan Zhijun, he had the blood of the Great Zhou royal family in his body.
Not to mention that this person has been living in seclusion behind the scenes, taking Seeing Ange and Baihuaya as his ears and eyes, and he doesn't know how many important things he has grabbed in his hands.
"Could it be that ......" Xue Zi'an suddenly reacted, "Could it be that the dog gold thief suddenly changed his shotgun a few years ago, is this the reason?" β
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"It may not be the first thing to do," Bai Ling said suddenly, "we need to find out why they suddenly sent a large army to attack Liangwang. β
"yes." Xue Ziping echoed on the side, "In the past, after Arslan broke the city, he was plundered, and he ran away after robbing food and people, and he didn't even bother to occupy the city for a long time. Isn't it good to use this method to break Zhuozhou now, there are a lot of people over there, and there is a lot of food...... No matter how you look at it, it's a loss-making deal. β
"Two things." Wang Meng, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly spoke, "First, continue to find out the details of this group of gold thieves besieging the city, and find out how many people they brought with them on this trip; The second is that we must enter the city and communicate these things with Lord Shao - the two heads hope to encounter this catastrophe suddenly, and we should still be confused now. β
"Is there any reply to the pigeon released last night?" Bai Ling asked.
"Nope." The nearby guard shook his head.
"I'm wearing the robe of the adjutant general of Da Zhou, just go down in person." Wang Meng frowned and said, "It's just that the guards at the city gate can't recognize the little soldiers, it's impossible not to recognize me." β
"My subordinates think it's inappropriate!" Xue Ziping opened his mouth almost immediately, "The golden thief is now waiting solemnly in the north, if the general rashly goes out of the mountain, in case it attracts the attention of the golden thiefββ"
"So many of us are hiding in the mountains, sooner or later we will attract the attention of the gold thief." Bai Ling interjected on the side, "I think it's good for Lord Wang to bring a group of teams into the city now, especially at this time." Looking at it from both ends now, the city must have become a mess. β
As soon as Wang Meng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up and walked to Bai Ling's side, "Does Mr. Xiao already have a clever plan?" β
"I do have an idea, but it's hard to say if it's not a clever plan," Bai Ling said softly, "You might as well listen to it first." β
"Please!"
Bai Ling picked up a dead branch from the ground, gently shook the hem of his clothes in front of him, and drew a sketch on the ground.
"Now that I'm in the dark and the enemy is in the open, that's almost our only advantage." Bai Ling said softly, "But if this advantage can be used well, it can bring great comfort to both the guards and the people in the cityβhow many golden soldiers are called by this group of golden soldiers who came to besiege the city, do we know now?" β
"Last night...... It seems that there are 70,000 soldiers. Xue Ziping replied, "But last night it looked like it was only eight or nine thousand people." However, the cavalry and infantry of the Jin people are still gathering here, and it is difficult to estimate how much more there will be. β
"After Lord Wang enters the city, he can also claim that we have 70,000 reinforcements." Bai Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and used a branch to draw a small cross between Zhuozhou and the two ends, "Even if the road from Zhuozhou to both ends is blown up, then Yanzhou's help will arrive in a day or two at most, and when the real reinforcements arrive, everything will be easy to say." β
"But how can this be fooled?" Wang Meng frowned, "The troops we can put into battle are only 8,000 people, if we want to go down the mountain and confront the Jin people, I'm afraidββ"
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." Bai Ling raised his hand and drew many triangles in the northeast corner of the ground, and then drew a long straight line, "You see, this is a dense forest, and there is a long causeway in the middle. I have just confirmed with the telescope of the Adjutant General, that the embankment is much higher than the ground, and the river is dry and waterless......"
"I don't know if you pay attention to the camp of the Jin people, although they sent a huge queue, they are still very afraid of the two dense forests looking to the northeast and northwest - in the clearing outside the dense forest, they are full of sharp wooden stakes."
"We can send a team to plant our battle flags in the middle of it, just like we did last time we went to Stone Monkey Town to rescue people, and create the illusion that there are many soldiers in the forest," Bai Ling said softly, "We can ambush the elite soldiers in the river embankment, and before tonight, they will definitely send people out to set fire to the forest, and we can take the opportunity to cut off their back road." Defeat an enemy's Sharp Strength first. β
Bai Ling raised his head and looked at Wang Meng, "And Lord Wang set out from the foot of the mountain at this time, went to the east gate at both ends, and told the people in the city that reinforcements had arrived, and it was also the most convincing." β
ββ¦β¦ Good way. Wang Meng clapped his hands lightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the garrison officer on the side, "How long has it been since the messenger sent to Yanzhou has been gone?" β
"We were sent out last night when we turned back." The garrison officer quickly replied, "They should get word soon." β
Wang Meng looked up at the thick clouds in the distance.
It's a pity that now this gloomy day, if it is a sunny day, I am only afraid of Zhuo and Yan Erzhou, and now I have seen the fireworks in the city at both ends.
"Wait......" Xue Ziping looked at Bai Ling, "What about after we ambushed the gold thief?" If the gold thief raises all his strength against usβ"
"I don't think they're going to do that." Bai Ling said softly, "After suffering losses, they should temporarily suspend their troops. When the time comes, we will act as General Chang instructed. β
"Looks like the little gentleman is sure?" Xue Ziping was a little puzzled, "Are you familiar with this group of people?" β
"I can't say how familiar I am, it's just that I played a few games of chess with him when I was in Pingjing in the past," Bai Ling lowered his eyes and smiled, "This Lan Zhijun is certainly very smart...... But it's really an opponent who can't afford to lose. β
