"Bell, bell, bell!" Approaching the evening, there were bursts of golden sound outside Huaixia City.

"The Huaishang army has withdrawn its troops. ”

"The Huaishang army has finally withdrawn its troops. At the head of Huaixia City, the warriors of Cai Guo who heard this sound felt a sense of relief.

The generals of the Wu clan at the head of the city also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Dingguo looked at the sky, and said in his heart that he still had to survive four days, but he didn't know what powerful means the Huai Shang army would come up with in addition to the ballista in these four days? In the future decisive battle, will the Huai Shang army have anything beyond his estimate?

This is unknown, so Wu Dingguo has no confidence in his heart.

There is no way, in recent years, he Wu has trained elite soldiers and horse troops, and various tactics have been innovated compared with other countries, but the Huaishang army has gone further than them in terms of self-training, battle formations and even equipment, and they have lost their grasp of the war situation.

The Huaishang coalition is too strange.

After going down to the city, after dinner, Wu Dingguo returned to his residence and took out the detailed book "Wu Zi" written by his ancestors before his death, trying to find a better solution in it, and find the confidence to win a decisive victory with the Huaishang coalition army.

The bamboo slip was held in his hand, and with the help of the candle, the few words on it were projected into his heart one by one.

After reading this military book that he had read countless times since he was a child, Wu Dingguo finally set his eyes on the words at the front of the military book.

The most different thing between the book "Wu Zi" and other military books in the world is perhaps that it occupies nearly half of the text in the book at the beginning.

Most of all the military books in the world only record all kinds of methods of reorganizing the army, training the army, and marching and fighting, but "Wu Zi" devotes more space to writing and summarizing a thing called Tao, which to put it bluntly, is all kinds of laws of war.

This kind of military way, the ancestors of the Wu family repeatedly emphasized in the book, and even bluntly wrote that the methodist is born, and the backslider dies, and it is pointed out that all the art of war in the world follows this way and evolves, and Wu Dingguo is focusing on these at this moment.

He tried to use this military way to confirm the way of the Huaishang coalition army, unveil its unknown mystery, and even hope to find its flaws that are not in line with the way.

The battle formation, tactics, and strategy of the Huaishang coalition army are all extremely strong, but where is the strength?

Wu Dingguo thought about it carefully, maybe one orthography is enough to cover most of it.

He found that since Huaishang sent out his troops, he has been doing the right way, there are almost no surprise attacks, rushing attacks and all kinds of strange methods, and the march can be said to be stable to the extreme, no matter when there is no flaw in his rear, plus the eye in the sky, has given him a sense of invulnerability.

In the face of the Huaishang coalition army, it seems that there is no other way but to collide with it head-on, but the frontal collision is its strongest side.

With ballista bombardment from afar and javelin salvos at close range, most armies were often routed before they could be met in close quarters.

It is said that its army is also extremely strong in hand-to-hand combat, which is known from the fact that each of the army's large shields, short swords, leather armor, and equipment are far stronger than ordinary soldiers, and what is more terrifying is that incomparably strict and flexible formation, behind this formation there must be a strong order to maintain.

With such an army, how easy is it to defeat him head-on?

This is also the reason why he must wait until the Dingyi City military chariot returns to Shihuai and has more than twice the military strength before he dares to launch a decisive battle.

And what if you don't fight head-on?

Surprise attacks, rushes, ambushes, and all kinds of means are all jokes under the watchful eye of the eye in the sky, and the air cost samurai and warriors speak for themselves, and maybe the Huaishang coalition forces will ambush them like the samurai they sent out to investigate the enemy's situation a month ago.

If we insist on avoiding war and relinquishing the initiative, we will have to face the endless proactive attacks and weakening means in the Huai Shang.

Just like that day, they and Wu Fengqi and others were forced to get out of the walled city, but they lost the initiative to control, and the offensive of the Huaishang army suddenly intensified, relying only on the use of crossbows, the most elite part of the Shang clan lost nearly half, and then called him Wu was forced to take the lead in retreating, so that the Shang clan could not also retreat with him to this Huaixia.

And today, they were forced off the city wall, after the Shang crossbow and the Xuanwu car were suppressed and did not dare to go to the city, unable to threaten their crossbows, the Huaishang army immediately attacked the city with all its strength, and even hit the most important granary of the defenders in the city with the first blow, and then continued to wreak havoc, bombarding important buildings, bombarding and killing warriors and soldiers.

If it weren't for the real strength of the landlord in the end, the Huaishang army alone would have caused the strength and morale of the defenders in the city to continue to fall.

In this case, the Cai army defending the city must be weaker and weaker the further back it goes, until it finally collapses.

In this process, if they have a decisive battle with the Huaishang army at the beginning, they may still have the strength to fight, but they are afraid of losses, and the further they go, the weaker they will become, and they will even lose the ability to launch a frontal decisive battle.

"That's amazing. Thinking about the mystery, Wu Fengqi couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, what are you glad about? Of course, he is glad that he has a lot of money on hand, otherwise if it is the same military strength, in the face of the Huaishang army, it will really rush up to die quickly, and if you don't rush up and suffocate to death.

After figuring out this, Wu Dingguo then began to think about how to break the right path of Huai's army.

He took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all other thoughts.

How to break it?

This is to threaten the rear of Huaishang, and when there are no flaws, they have created a flaw for Huaishang, otherwise how could the Huaishang coalition forces be so eager to seek a decisive battle with Cai.

However, Wu Fengqi seemed to have targeted this at that day, and all kinds of means were to make the Huaishang coalition army seek a decisive battle.

Thinking of this, he frowned again, Huai Shangjun wanted a decisive battle, and he was ready to fight a decisive battle with it in four days, was this move correct?

If the Huaishang Army dared to go north for a decisive battle, did it consider the joint forces of the two sides under Dingyi and Huaixia, and how would it deal with it?

Presumably, you have to deal with it before joining forces.

Wu Dingguo took out a roll of cloth and wrote that the Huaishang army was very likely to ambush and attack the army returning to the division in Dingyi City, and pay attention when notifying it to march, on the other hand, if the Huaishang army drew troops to do this, the strength outside the city would be insufficient, and the Huaixia defenders should go out of the city to attack it.

Then he continued to write on the cloth.

Well, the Huaishang Army is an infantry army, and when it fights, it avoids that the terrain is too flat, and it is really to avoid the chariots, and the combat formation of the Huaishang Army requires strict order, can you choose a place where the formation cannot be deployed, such as mountains and forests?

In addition, it is said that when the Huaishang army dealt with the Xuanwu car, it used oil bombs to incinerate, and if the operator of the Xuanwu car was a group of high-ranking samurai and pushed the impact with all their might, would the ballista still be able to hit him? If it could not be hit, then it would be invincible to launch a large-scale attack with this car alone.

At this time, with the confirmation of the ancestors, his thinking was opened, and all kinds of ideas emerged one after another.

Write them down whether it's feasible or not, and wait until tomorrow to gather the family members to discuss it.

Subsequently, he gradually gained confidence in the decisive battle with the Huaishang army four days later.

But at this moment, an extremely rapid drum beat sounded outside Huaixia City, which violently interrupted his train of thought.

Is the Huaishang coalition army going to attack the city at night?

Wu Dingguo hurriedly got up, walked out of the room, and when he ran into Wu's enemy, he commanded loudly: "Quick, quickly arrange for the warriors and warriors to go to the city wall to prepare." ”

"No. Wu Di hurriedly went to arrange.

As a result, there was all kinds of panic in Huaixia City, and many samurai and warriors who were already preparing to fall asleep were called up.

The Xicheng garrisoned by the Wu clan was like this, and the Shang clan's side was even more chaotic.

After arranging the samurai and warriors, Wu Dingguo asked another high-ranking samurai to go to the city to take a look.

The black lights outside the city were blind, and they couldn't see anything, so they asked the warrior to hand over a torch and threw it vigorously to light up the outside of the city.

"General, there is no one outside the city. ”

Wu Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wu Enemy on the side: "The Huaishang army is a method to disturb me, so that our army can't sleep peacefully at night, and if our army is not, they can turn from a feint attack to a real attack and go directly to the city." ”

Wu Enemy said: "We should arrange a large number of warriors and warriors to stay under the city wall at night, and send elite warriors to keep vigil at the head of the city, throwing torches from time to time. ”

Wu Dingguo nodded and said, Wu's method is good, so he implemented it accordingly, and notified the Shang side, and they all dealt with it in this way.

In the first half of the night, the large camp on the opposite side of Huaishang was not at peace, and from time to time it was a drum beating that was not refreshing, but the defenders had a response, although it still had the effect of disturbing the enemy, but after all, it was much weaker.

In this way, the time has reached the middle of the night.

At this time, in the Huaishang army camp outside the city, a large number of warriors were busy, but they were carrying stones of half a human size that they had collected from nowhere, gathered from all over the place, and piled them up in an open space in the camp.

After preparing for most of the night, such stones had been piled up in the camp into several small stone hills.

Zhao Wu, who was staring at the side, probably felt that the number was okay, so he went to the handsome tent: "Childe, according to your orders, the big stones are ready." ”

Wang Yue put down the bamboo slip in his hand and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Zhao Wu said: "The moon is in the sky." ”

Wang Yue smiled: "So, the defenders in the city are almost asleep behind the city wall at the moment?"

Then he nodded, walked out of the tent with Zhao Wu, and looked up at the waning moon in the sky.

As the so-called moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good weather to kill people tonight. (To be continued.) )
