Chapter 014: Empty City Strategy

Chu Chengde still didn't speak: "Xia Ye is arrogant, the prince should listen to it." Xia Ye said what she wanted to say the most, turned around and left the room, as for whether to listen or not was not something she could control.

As soon as Xia Ye walked out of the room, he heard the same horn sound from the city wall as last time: "The enemy army is attacking the city!" ”

Enemy siege? Chu Chengde also walked out of the room, and the generals from all walks of life also gathered together to go up the city wall, only to see that a hundred meters ahead, the enemy army was rushing over.

Seeing this, Chu Chengde immediately sent Tang Yi to lead his troops out of the city to meet the enemy, and the two armies fought at a distance of 100 meters, but as soon as the two armies fought, the enemy retreated, and General Tang was afraid of deception and did not chase after him, but returned to the city, and after a while, the enemy army appeared and stopped at a hundred meters.

"TNND, what kind of trick is this country playing, the soldiers come but don't attack, let's go to meet them and retreat, and then press in when we return to the city." General Qiu Ze, who was full of beard, couldn't help but scold.

The sky gradually darkened, and Chu Chengde looked at the enemy army a hundred meters away: "Let's see what tricks they play first, Qiu Ze and General Huang Yu are stationed here, and once the enemy army moves, report immediately." Chu Chengde frowned, it seemed that what he had been worried about was finally about to happen: "The rest of the generals will come to my room to discuss matters." The rest of the generals gathered in the house after the city wall, Xia Ye called Chu Si too, and the other generals saluted one after another, and were surprised, I didn't hear that the four princes also came to the barracks.

"The last general will wait to see the four princes."

"No need to be polite." Chu Chengxiao, dressed as a small soldier, sat with the generals after entering the house, when Xia Ye found him, he had already explained the situation to him, and now that the situation is critical, he should face it with the third brother.

Chu Chengde glanced at Chu Chengxiao, who was sitting down, and said: "At present, the biggest threat to our army is the lack of food and grass, and now the enemy's combat method is so weird, I am worried that someone will do something from it, and the enemy army may already know that we have no food and grass, judging from the current combat method, the enemy army is consuming the combat effectiveness of our army, thus trapping us in the city." ”

"This king has asked General Xiansi to go and personally escort the grain and grass, but it will take three days to arrive at the earliest, and we can wait for the grain and grass as long as we hold out for three days, but this king is worried that if General Xiansi can't come, the enemy army will already attack the city, and the soldiers will be unstable at that time, and they will be hungry, and they will definitely be defeated by one blow."

"Once the enemy army besieges the city, everything is too late, and our weapons are simply not enough to rush out, what good countermeasures do the generals have now?" Chu Chengde laid out the current situation and problems, but these generals are all martial artists, and it is okay to go into battle to kill the enemy, as for thinking of countermeasures, it is really difficult for them.

"It's better for us to take the initiative to attack now and repel the enemy army, while the soldiers still have strength and are not hungry." As soon as Chu Chengxiao's words came out, other generals echoed them.

"But now we are short of military resources, and we can't repel the troops of the dead country at all." When Xianji reported that the grain and grass had been robbed, he thought about it, the grain and grass and military supplies were robbed together, and the military supplies in the city were not enough to repel the 100,000 troops of the Dead Country.

"I've got a solution." Xia Ye has been listening to it from the sidelines, how to say that she also went to college and read poetry and the Bible, what Sun Tzu Art of War, Zhuge Liang has also studied.

Chu Chengde, including all the generals, looked at Xia Ye behind him.

In the face of so many pairs of eyes staring at her, Xia Ye was really a little stage frightened, but now that time was tight and the task was heavy, she couldn't think too much, Xia Ye walked to the topographic map in front of her, and pointed to the small forest in the southwest outside the city on the topographic map: "When I went out of the city with the fourth prince before, I saw this small forest, the terrain is flat, the woods are lush, and it can be hidden, and the most important thing is that there is a small river next to the forest that can provide the water source that the soldiers need." ”

"As the prince said, it will be too late when the enemy army besieges the city, but it will be even later when the enemy army besieges the city, we can use the enemy army commander captured by the prince before, at least let the enemy army come to besiege the city early." Xia Ye looked at the generals with a smile, his face full of conspiracy theories.

"What do you mean? Why did you take the initiative to let the enemy army come to besiege the city? "General Yan Hui looks like he's joking, I'm afraid if it weren't for the prince's face, they, the generals who galloped across the field, wouldn't have listened to the words of a stinky boy who looked like he hadn't dried up.

Chu Chengde thought it was very interesting and wanted to hear her continue.

"General Yan Hui, you might as well let him finish his words first." Tang Yi looked at Xia Ye and cast a smile.

Xia Ye looked at the smile thrown by General Tang and mustered up the courage to continue: "Because we are short of military resources now, we can't repel the enemy army at all, but we can lead the enemy army over and annihilate it in one fell swoop, but we can't bring it all over, and if we bring it all over, we can't deal with it either." ”

"According to what the prince just said, our grain and grass will not arrive until three days later, so it is inferred that the enemy army will besiege the city tomorrow night at the latest, and attack the city the next morning when our grain and grass arrive."

"By the third day, the enemy army has reached its most decadent time, and this time is undoubtedly the best time to attack the city, and the only way for us now is to withdraw from the city."

"How is it possible, didn't you let us abandon the city, wouldn't Yanshui Pass be lost?"

"yes, is that a solution?"

"We're not going to leave the city."

"Yes."

As soon as Xia Ye's words came out, he was even more dissatisfied with the generals, including General Tang Yi, who was also a little unable to see through it at this time. Chu Chengxiao looked at the general who was a little excited and said, "There is a lot of money, if you have any ideas, say it quickly, don't sell it anymore." ”

"This king understands what it means to have a lot of money." Chu Chengde suddenly stood up and walked to the topographic map, pointed to the woods outside the city, and said, "Tonight, all the soldiers will withdraw to the woods south of the city." ”

is worthy of a battle-hardened man, and sure enough, he understands a little, and the corners of Xia Ye's mouth curl up and look at the man in front of him.

"Why?" Chu Chengxiao still didn't understand. Especially when he saw Qian Duoduo looking at his third brother's eyes, he felt an inexplicable jealousy in his heart, and he thought terriblely, could it be that he was also a short-sleeved person? Otherwise, why are there so many warblers in the palace, he doesn't feel it at all.

Xia Ye took over and continued: "We withdrew all the soldiers to the woods before the enemy besieged the city, leaving only an empty city, and tied the captured enemy commander to the city wall in order to provoke the enemy army, and then there will definitely be a small number of enemy troops before all the enemy troops besiege the city to rescue their commander, and when the time comes, we will wait to close the door and beat the dogs and make dumplings for the enemy army." Xia Ye smiled lightly and looked at all the generals: "This trick is called an empty city plan!" ”
