Chapter 438: Soldiers, Tricks
The five lieutenant generals were not convinced, and took turns to question Wei Wuji.
You are a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and you have outstanding martial arts cultivation strength, but you can also be stronger than us in terms of leading the army to fight? When Lao Tzu led the troops to fight, you were not born yet, right?
The five of them are all generals in their forties, and the general thoughts in their hearts are that they are not convinced. If Wei Wuji is allowed to refute it, where will the face go?
Wei Wuji smiled faintly and said, "This matter seems very complicated, if you really want to put it bluntly, it is really very simple. Around our military camp, the Chifeng Army, which coordinated the defense, had already been defeated by the barbarians, and it had been about two hours. If the barbarians want to force the attack, in less than an hour, the soldiers can reach the left and right of the barracks......"
"However, after two hours, the vanguard of the barbarians appeared on the left and right of the barracks, and why? It was clearly before this that preparations were made, and an ambush was laid around the three corners and a void for survival, and only then did they begin to threaten our barracks tent, in a vain attempt to force us to retreat, and to besiege and kill us in the middle. ”
After Wei Wuji finished speaking, his eyes swept over the five lieutenant generals, and he turned to General Tong and hugged his fists, "My lord, do you see what I said, is it reasonable?"
General Tong lowered his head and groaned, silent, and Wu Zhen also frowned and bowed his head, thinking hard.
"Wei Wuji, this is just your speculation, there is no real evidence, but we sent scouts to look around, and got the same information before making the decision to retreat," a lieutenant general said loudly.
"Now that an ambush has been set up, it will be easy to fool a few Ranger scouts. ”
Wei Wuji said with a smile, "My lord, as far as I know, when the soldiers left Chifeng City, the military order of the Military Aircraft Mansion only allowed the soldiers to bring three days' worth of food, right?"
"Exactly, in order to march quickly, the Military Aircraft Government ordered all the troops rushing to help with them to only bring three days' worth of military rations, and not to take more. General Tong said.
"I think there is the answer we want. Wei Wuji smiled.
"What's the answer?" General Tong was surprised and hurriedly asked.
The others all looked at Wei Wuji, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"This time the troops were sent to relieve the siege, and the military aircraft government was also well planned, and the siege of the barbarians was also calculated. The reason why the army was only allowed to bring three days of military rations was that the Military Aircraft Mansion would inevitably attack the barbarians within three days and complete the last step of the siege relief plan. ”
Wei Wuji said this, and looked at everyone, "The third day is tomorrow, and it won't be more than the fourth day at the latest." The Chifeng army will definitely use its troops on a large scale and attack the barbarians with all its might. The barbarians in front of us will also be defeated and withdraw into the distance. ”
"No later than the fourth day......," Wu Zhen showed a look of sudden realization on his face.
"It is precisely like this, after four days, there will be no food in the army, and the generals with the troops will not be able to hide it, and the army will be in turmoil, and it may be defeated. The Military Aircraft Government knows this very well, and they don't dare to risk this, so I said that it will not be more than the fourth day at the latest. Wei Wuji replied.
General Tong nodded and looked at the five lieutenant generals, "What do you think?"
The five lieutenants looked at each other, although they were still unconvinced, but they had to admit that Wei Wuji's words made sense.
"It's all up to the general" The five of them clasped their fists together and bowed down.
"In that case, I declare that the army will hold on to its place and will not withdraw again. Go down and prepare, fortify the defenses of the camp, and prepare for a decisive battle with the barbarians. General Tong said.
The five of them were ordered, clenched their fists and turned to leave, but were stopped by Wei Wuji.
"My lord, it's not the best way to do that. Wei Wuji said.
"Brother Wei, what's the best plan?" General Tong asked.
"I guess the barbarians have a lot of work and have mixed into our military camp. Therefore, we should continue to prepare and make a posture of retreating tonight to confuse each other. Half an hour later, we will conduct a large-scale inventory of the camp, and the other party will be frightened and leave. ”
Wei Wuji narrated the plan, "As long as the news that they see is brought back to the barbarian camp, they have a preconceived idea that we will definitely withdraw our troops." Even if we build a defense next and are seen by the barbarians from afar, it will be considered a maze to cover up the evacuation of the night. In that case, I don't think there will be a real attack from now until tomorrow morning. ”
"Brother Haowei said well, let's do it"
General Tong nodded with satisfaction, and began to arrange to the deputy general, acting separately.
After the five lieutenants left, General Tong praised with a smile, "Brother Wei, fortunately with your reminder, otherwise it would have been a big mistake." I see, you are a natural handsome, several times stronger than those people in the military aircraft house, hehe. ”
"Your Excellency praised it. Wei Wuji clenched his fists and thanked him.
"Wuji, do you estimate the military strength of the barbarians, what kind of actions will they have in the future?" Wu Zhen admired Wei Wuji so much that he asked with a smile next to him.
"The army is outside, and you can get some clues based on the grain and grass. However, the barbarians are all cannibalistic goods, and it is difficult to estimate them with grain and grass. In my opinion, some barbarian tribes outside Chifeng City have business dealings with Chifeng City, and they can be regarded as friendly barbarians. The barbarians who went south would spend ten days to wipe them out. It is estimated that after fourteen or fifteen days, all worries will be swept away, and then it will be the siege of Chifeng City. ”
Wei Wuji expressed his opinion to the two.
General Tong and Wu Zhen pondered after hearing this, nodded, and thought deeply.
The next development, just as Wei Wuji expected.
After checking the camp, the other party's fine work fled in a hurry, and the sergeant in the barracks pretended not to see it and let him escape safely.
Then, according to the plan, the defense was repaired. The barbarians did not really attack, but every once in a while, they sent a team of horsemen to shoot and roar, and fired arrows indiscriminately at the camp, and immediately roared away again.
The barbarians' cavalry is superior to the Chifeng army, and the range of bows and arrows is longer than that of the Chifeng army. In the face of harassment, General Tong only sent a small number of troops to monitor, and only returned fire with bows and arrows if the barbarians got too close.
There was nothing wrong all night, and there was no harassment and sneak attack from the barbarians.
The morning passed peacefully, and the barbarians stayed quietly in the camp, still without any movement. At noon, General Tong climbed high and looked into the barbarian military camps in three directions, and countless cooking smoke rose from it, indicating that they were having dinner.
"Brother Wei, what are the barbarians in the three directions doing? Squatting in the camp, the cooking smoke is filled, and they only care about eating and drinking, but they don't even go to battle?" General Tong asked.
"Maybe they have enough to eat and drink at noon, and they will have to put their troops in front of us and fight with us. Wu Zhen said.
Wei Wuji looked at the cooking smoke, lowered his head in contemplation, and smiled, "My lord, I bet you that the barbarians in the three barracks have all withdrawn. Cooking smoke is a strategy to disturb the enemy, and I don't want to wait for us to chase and cause chaos. ”
"Why, Brother Wei, how do you know?" General Tong looked shocked.
"The camp in three directions, the smoke of the cooking stove rises, too neatly, as if it was under a military order, and the fire was lit at the same time. Wei Wuji replied.
General Tong and Wu Zhen both nodded.
"My lord, I think so, I let the contestants search in all directions. They are strong, and they can save the day in the event of interception, so they don't need the scouts of the army. Wei Wuji offered advice, and also wanted to help the contestants and strive for some achievements for nothing.
General Tong nodded in agreement and asked Wei Wuji to arrange the manpower.
Wei Wuji did not personally lead the team, but gave the credit to Rang Shi Wen, Shi Ziyi, Bi Fansheng and others. The army they followed was defeated, and the credit for this battle was very small, and it was worth a little more to earn
