Chapter 187: Calculating with Each Other

The action of the auxiliary defense force is very fast, it is a matter of their own safety, and they soon laid three steel wire fences with a length of 100 meters and a height of 2 meters in the middle of the city gate and Sanlizhuang Village, whether the other party is cavalry or infantry, it is definitely not so easy to rush over, and it will only become a target for crossbow arrows.

The tent for the deliberations was also set up, Xie Xinghua sat at the table silently and looked at the map and photos in front of him in a daze, vaguely feeling that he was in too much hurry and too sloppy in his heart!

Zhao Mingyang came in with his subordinates, with a serious face: "The casualty statistics have come out, the Huaxia Army has a total of seventeen dead, nine people in the second company and eight in the third company, and the third company in the south of the city is being counted and has not yet been reported!" Three hundred and twenty-four people died in the defense industry, and according to incomplete statistics, the death of the thief army should be more than 1,500 people! ”

Xie Xinghua's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he almost fell headlong, in this hurried battle, he actually killed nearly 350 people, you must know that Commander Lu led the team to kill all the way from Jiangnan, and fought six battles, but no one died, miserable, he couldn't do it this time, and the position of battalion commander came to an end!

But how can there be immortals in the war, the casualties of the Huaxia army with excellent weapons in their hands and stab-proof suits and explosion-proof suits on their bodies are minimized, but those who rely on the courage of blood and courage of the auxiliary defense army are fighting with their lives, and the casualties are relatively heavy, of course, compared to the thief army.

Zhao Mingyang's walkie-talkie rang, it was Hao Lei's casualty report, no deaths, twenty-four injuries, this was because the thief army led by Ren Qi he encountered was much smaller than the East City Gate in terms of number and attack strength!

Now is not the time to think about his future, Xie Xinghua quickly adjusted his mentality, and immediately convened a meeting of the generals, this time he actually called Zhao Weiwei, who had crossed the river, for the first time, and Zhao Weiwei was no longer afraid that the Huaxia Army would put him under house arrest or kill him, and he came directly with a few generals, he now understands that these people are really thieves, at least not thieves all the way, the enemy of the enemy is his friend! Besides, as long as you show your face and turn around, you can get credit! Promotion and fortune are certain!

It is impossible for Xie Xinghua and his subordinates not to know about such an obvious intention of the officers and soldiers to share the merits. It doesn't make any sense, you have to divide the work, but you have to work! For this, Zhao Weiwei agreed!

"General Zhao, you see, there are four gates in Yuncheng, the east gate is blocked by us in front of us, and there is a big river here, which is a dead end, and there is a company of mine guarding the south gate, and the troops are relatively insufficient. This needs the support of your people," Xie Xinghua said, staring at Zhao Weiwei

"Yes, my men and horses can be stationed at the south gate to block the place, but what about the west gate and the north gate, where are the troops to surround them, once you start to break the city, the thieves can easily escape from the other two!" Zhao Weiwei analyzed, this product is also a bit talented.

"I don't need to surround them, I wish they would abandon the city and flee," Xie Xinghua smiled. "You see, the west of Yuncheng is close to the Yellow River, and it is also a dead end for him to flee there, so he can only flee to the north gate. And he will definitely flee to the north gate",

"Why are you so sure?" Zhao Weiwei asked!

"You don't need to ask, not far north of Yuncheng is Xiaopikou, where there is a generalissimo of the anti-army." Tang Ping on the side laughed as he spoke, and everyone had a smile on their faces!

"Yes", Xie Xinghua paused and said: "Since Wu Yingzhao of Xiao Pikou is a cottage marshal, he wants to come and have at least a thousand men under his command. Once the city is broken, the thieves will definitely flee over there and gather with Wu Yingzhao of Xiao Pikou! ”

"How's that good? Once they gather more power, it will not be completely unfavorable to us", Zhao Weiwei spoke in a tone at this time, as if he had just joined forces with the Huaxia Army to win a battle!

"Why don't the general send a military horse to ambush at the north gate and intercept his retreat", a general under Zhao Weiwei made a suggestion, but it was immediately denied by Xie Xinghua, "First of all, we don't have enough manpower now, a total of more than 3,000 military horses to guard the two city gates is hard enough, there is no way to send a military horse to ambush, and if there are fewer people, it is equivalent to giving him food in vain, besides, Xiao Pikou is so close to Yuncheng, I think the news of our siege will soon spread, and what if the rebels come to attack back and forth, Therefore, the north gate does not need to be ambushed, just give him a bright way to run! ”

"Why did you let him run?" The officers and soldiers didn't understand, and Tang Ping didn't understand either, Xie Xinghua smiled, pointed to the map and said, "Look at where is the north of Yuncheng?" ”

"Yangshan! What's wrong? Tang Ping looked up and asked

"It's not much, I just know that our next task to capture Yuncheng is Liangshan, just lack a leader, and more importantly, I seem to have heard General Zhao say that the two general soldiers of the imperial court, Liu Dudu and Huang Zhou, are now in Liangshan and Dongping......"

Needless to say, the people in the tent understand it, and it clearly means letting the rebels lead the way and run into the encirclement!

"How do you divide the credit after winning Yuncheng?" The corners of Zhao Weiwei's mouth tilted and looked at Xie Xinghua with a smile, directly ignoring the contempt of Tang Ping on the side.

"As long as you guard the south gate for me, so that the thief army can't take a step, I will share half of the credit for capturing Yuncheng, or even all of it for you?" Xie Xinghua looked at Zhao Weiwei and said word by word!

"Refreshing!" Zhao Weiwei stood up suddenly, "Come on, immediately send troops to the south of the city!" After saying that, he turned around and left, of course, and took the pack of cigarettes on the table with him.

As soon as he walked to the door, Zhao Weiwei suddenly stopped and turned his head and said, "Battalion Commander Xie, you can see the grain and grass in our department......

Tang Ping couldn't help but take out a middle finger!

In Yuncheng, Xiao Houfeng's mansion was gloomy at the moment, and the leader of the so-called three marshals of the Righteous Army was now leaning on a Taishi chair with his head down, his eyes lost and he was in a daze.

Today's hurried battle is like a dream for him, and it is a nightmare, in just two pillars of incense, the two generals around him are scattered, and even the corpses are still thrown outside the city, looking at the two empty chairs around him, scanning the other leaders, Xiao Houfeng sighed, "Have you found any news, who are these officers and soldiers?" ”

"Marshal, the two city gates in the southeast and southeast have been sealed, and the officers and soldiers are now stationed outside the city, it seems that they want to surround us, as for the news, nothing can be found, but according to the observation of subordinates. It seems that the officers and soldiers are not of a faction! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Houfeng's spirit was shocked,

"First, the military uniforms they wear are different, and the weapons and equipment are also different, and secondly, we have not fought with officers and soldiers once or twice, which time has they not fled when they heard the news, and they have never seen such treacherous and fierce officers and soldiers! And now some of the people besieging us in the city are our old friends, and the other is very strange! ”

Xiao Houfeng sat still and began to ponder again, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Did you send someone to contact Generalissimo Xiao Pikou?" ”

"Someone has been sent, and there are no officers and soldiers at the north and west gates. I don't know what they mean, do they still leave us a way back? ”

"Bullshit, they don't have enough manpower, but two or three thousand people want to attack the city? Joke! I was caught off guard by them today, take a good rest of the soldiers and horses tonight, and tomorrow I will personally lead the troops out of the city and sweep away these dog thieves", Xiao Houfeng said viciously!

"Marshal, they have muskets!"

"What if you have a musket?" There are only 3,000 men in total, and I have more than 10,000 rebels here, and one of them will drown them when they pee! Come to set up a banquet, and discuss how to break the enemy tomorrow tonight. The herald goes down and the whole city is under martial law tonight! Xiao Houfeng finally came back and was a little angry!

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the Huaxia military camp outside Yuncheng is under intense construction, and in order to prevent the rebel army in the city from raiding, Xie Xinghua has to be very prepared. You must know that the other party is tens of thousands of anti-army, if it falls out of the city, it will be like a flood, and it is absolutely unrealistic to block it with your own 2,000 men and horses, so at this time, you must use fortifications to resist!

Cross barbed wire is the best protection now. Not to mention now, even in the future, it is a defensive measure that makes people headaches, not to mention facing cavalry with no destructive power at this moment.

The officers and soldiers stationed at the south gate were not idle at the moment. Since you have to work if you want to share the credit, so under Hao Lei's martial law, Zhao Weiwei's officers and soldiers became migrant workers in a second, and began to dig pits and bury piles and pull tightropes, while Zhao Weiwei himself stood aside with several generals and smoked cigarettes, watching Hao Lei hold the walkie-talkie and keep chatting with Xie Xinghua at the east gate!

"Lord Hao, can you give me one of the things in your hand, it is also convenient for us to dispatch troops to communicate with each other", Zhao Weiwei finally figured out what the walkie-talkie was used for for a long time, and suddenly moved his mind in surprise, he had to get one!

was just slapped hard by Hao Lei, "I'm sorry General Zhao, this thing can be used by the internal officers of the Huaxia Army, and others don't have to think about it, even if you take it, it's useless, and you won't use it!" ”

"Uh...... What a paralyzing thing! Looking at Hao Lei, who was walking away, Zhao Weiwei scolded viciously!

"What are those officers and soldiers doing?" At this moment, in a corner of the city wall, Xiao Houfeng, Ren Qi and others nested at the battlements of the city wall, looking at the brightly lit Huaxia army camp in the distance, their minds were full of doubts, knowing themselves and knowing the truth of winning a hundred battles, he naturally understood that he occupied the terrain and the official camp below was clear at a glance.

Why is there always a rumbling sound in their camp, although most of the forms in the camp can be clearly seen through the lights in the camp, but what kind of monster is this rumbling sound, which makes Xiao Houfeng feel worried, of course, he will not know what a diesel generator is!

"Marshal, do you think the officers and soldiers will attack the city at night?" Ren Qi asked in a low voice beside him

"It's impossible, not to mention the night, it's how to attack the city during the day with their people, and they haven't found that they have siege ladders, what can they take to attack the city? Don't even think about it! "Xiao Houfeng's head wants to be like a rattle,

"Then, how about the marshal take the opportunity to raid, think about how their men and horses can resist the might of our tens of thousands of righteous troops", Ren Qi's face was excited and eager to try, he was too embarrassed to be beaten during the day, and he was really holding back his anger at the moment.

Shaking his head gently, Xiao Houfeng stared at the lights in the distance for a while, "I've been wondering, why do these officers and soldiers dare to camp under my city with such a small number of manpower, aren't they afraid of my night attack?" What do they have to rely on? Or is it just a trap? ”

"Traps? What can be the pitfalls? Ren Qi asked suspiciously

"I don't know, I just feel this way, so I don't dare to take risks, maybe they have other ambushes that haven't appeared, maybe there really is something to rely on, otherwise they can't be so arrogant to camp under the city with their little strength, do you think this is normal?" Xiao Houfeng frowned and said!

"Well, it's really not normal for the marshal to say this, but we can't stay in the city like this all the time!" Ren Qi said

"Don't worry, when Marshal Wu from Xiao Pikou arrives, we can do this......" On the city wall, Xiao Houfeng became more and more excited, and his face was full of joy, as if he had seen the officers and soldiers under the city being cut down by them!

At the same time, Xie Xinghua in the barracks under the city was also holding a telescope and looking at the torches on the city wall, from here you can see that the city wall is densely packed with archers of the thief army, it seems that the defense is quite tight, if you want to break the city gate, you must send the gas canister over, but within a hundred steps from the city gate is the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, there is a forbidden place that cannot be approached at all, how can it be good! (To be continued......)
