Inside the private room.

Faced with the reminder, he didn't think about it, and said indifferently: "The general will not accept the foreign military order, he lost, the old man died on the battlefield, he died a hundred, and the punishment was not heard, if you win the court and return the punishment, it is a big deal to go to Hanzhou to join you." ”

Qin Huaidao's heart warmed, this was a trust of his family and life, and he couldn't help but solemnly rise, and said: "Thank you An Guogong for your trust, how many archers are there?" As long as you can open a bow. ”

"As long as you can open the bow, it's simple, 10,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters, plus 10,000 forbidden troops, it's not a problem to transfer 10,000 from the border army and government soldiers, and the rest have to stay in Wuwei County, there can't be no one here, otherwise they will be taken to the nest." Having fought a lifetime of fighting, of course I know the importance of the base camp.

When Qin Huaidao heard that he could draw 30,000 out, he suddenly made up his mind and said: "30,000 is enough, send troops early tomorrow morning, and the infantry will also find a horse to walk, avoid slowing down the marching speed, bring more feather arrows, if it is not enough, launch craftsmen to make it tonight, this king has a lot of craftsmen, you can help, and bring more digging tools when you send troops tomorrow." ”

"Digging tools, for?" Obsessed with some curiosity.

"Prepare at least 4,000 excavation tools and do so." Qin Huaidao didn't explain much.

"No problem, the old man will arrange it." Stubbornly said and left in a hurry.

Qin Huaidao looked at the wine and meat left behind, and said with a smile: "The ambassador has decided, drink!" ”

"Is there a way?" Li Jing asked curiously.

Qin Huaidao nodded, picked up the wine jar and filled it for everyone, he didn't say much, and there was no way to explain it, some forms of play can only be understood when you see it.

Li Jing's heart was full of curiosity, but seeing that Qin Huaidao didn't mean to say it, he didn't ask much.

Cheng Yanjin saw that there was wine to drink, and he didn't bother to ask, the big deal was that when the time came, it was the most troublesome thing to use his brain.

……

The next morning.

The large army was well fed and drunk, and continued to hurry, this time accompanied by 30,000 troops led by Zhi Zhili Sili, and the remaining troops stayed to hold on to Wuwei County, and the defender was the governor of Wuwei County.

The distance from Wuwei County to Zhangye County was more than 200 kilometers in a straight line, and the troops hurried along the straight road, Qin Huaidao was worried that there would be an ambush, and he was even more worried that the physical exertion would be too large, and that it would be difficult to parry once a battle occurred, so he ordered the troops to slow down and march 60 kilometers every day, 30 in the morning and 30 in the afternoon, and after the completion of the camp, he would select favorable terrain and set up camp.

Along the way, many Tibetan scouts were found, and the people of the Guards rushed up to hunt them easily, not letting one go, to ensure that the whereabouts of the army were not revealed.

On the morning of the fourth day, the army arrived three miles outside Zhangye and stopped.

Qin Huaidao immediately stepped forward to check, only to see the banner hunting on the city wall, the soldiers were densely packed, and they waited solemnly, the city wall was not the imaginary earth city, it looked like cement, Qin Huaidao was a little confused, and reluctantly reacted that he had helped the imperial court repair the border city, and this Zhang Ye was also among them.

At this moment, Qin Huaidao had a feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, and at this time, he rode over and teased: "King Han, do you see, I heard that you sent someone to repair and strengthen the city wall, which caused the old man to lose the battle, and the loss was not small, you have to help the old man out of this breath." ”

Li Jing also stepped forward, stood side by side, looked ahead and said: "The cement city wall is solid, it is not easy to fight, and we don't have siege equipment, how are you going to fight?" ”

He looked at Li Jing and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't doubt King Han's means, you can't do it, King Han has a way, right?" Saying that, he looked at Qin Huaidao, looking a little fan.

Qin Huaidao couldn't stand this look, looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, and said: "An Guogong, your people are divided into three, and the other three city gates are blocked respectively, each gate has 10,000 troops, remember, don't attack, take the defensive, and arrange people to dig more than three trenches in turn, which should be long enough, three meters wide, two meters wide, once the enemy attacks, shoot back with random arrows, it is possible?" ”

"It's that simple?" I was a little confused and had never heard of this style of play.

Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin also looked at it, with curiosity in their eyes.

"Yes, it's as simple as that, you say can you do it?"

"It's too simple, 10,000 people are guarded, no matter how many people rush out, it's not enough to shoot, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, King Han, the old man is stupid, don't ask why, you just say can you win?"

"If your people can guard the other three gates, I guarantee that none of the 100,000 people in the city will want to live."

"Okay, hahaha, this is a good thing, the old man is gone." Stubbornly overjoyed, he had no doubt about Qin Huaidao's words, and the countless battles in Goguryeo were enough to prove that Qin Huaidao did what he said.

As soon as he lost his mind, Li Jing reminded: "Virtuous nephew, Tubo knew that our army was coming, and there was no sneak attack for several days, so it was clear that he wanted to use the city to fight a war of attrition, and he should not go out of the city to attack, but do you really have a way to take it?" There were 100,000 troops waiting to work. ”

"Don't worry, I never fight uncertain battles." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Luo Ying.

Li Jing still wanted to ask, but when he saw Luo Ying stepping forward, he hurriedly swallowed his speech.

"Uncle, what do you command?" Luo Ying hugged his fists.

"The front is to set up a tripwire rope, the density should be large, the special operations division will be deployed, and the three echelons will be defended."

"Obey!" Luo Ying clenched his fists and left.

Li Jing became more and more curious, shouldn't the siege battle rush forward? Wouldn't it be to block his army by setting up a stumbling block, but seeing that Qin Huaidao was thinking about something, now was not the time to ask, so as not to interfere with the command, he silently observed from the side, and decided to take the opportunity to take a good look at how Qin Huaidao fought this battle.

Cheng Yanjin was also curious, and couldn't guess Qin Huaidao's playing style, so he came to Li Jing's side and whispered: "Pharmacist, have you found that Huaidao's playing style is completely different from ours, and he actually dug a trench in front of him and stumbled on a horse rope, isn't this blocking himself?" ”

"No—"

Li Jing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "It's not to block yourself, it's to prevent the enemy from going out of the city and blocking the enemy's cavalry, as for why, I can't guess it, don't speak, so as not to disrupt the deployment of Huaidao, just look at it." ”

"Okay, you guys who are brain-, I'll rush up and fight in a while, I haven't been active for a long time, and I've grown fat." Cheng Yanjin said nonchalantly.

While talking, the two saw a large number of soldiers rushing up, lined up in three rows, distanced themselves from each other, each holding a crossbow and staring at the city in front of them, an invisible killing intent erupted, and no one spoke from the implementation, and the formation speed was very fast.

"Male!" Li Jing couldn't help but praise.

"What a speed, what a strong military discipline." Cheng Yanjin also praised.

Soon, the two saw some people rushing forward, punching thick iron rods into the depths of the ground, and then wrapping them with slender things to form a tripping horse shape, the two were full of curiosity, exchanged colors, and tacitly went forward together, and the people of the special operations division did not stop them, and let them observe.

Touching the slender and tough steel wire, Li Jing tried to exert himself, and found that the root was constantly broken, full of toughness, worthy of an old soldier, and immediately thought of the wonderful use of this thing, his face changed greatly, and he looked at Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin is also an old soldier, so he naturally understands it, and said in shock: "Pharmacist, this thing is very tough, the war horse is rushing at high speed, as long as it touches, the horse's hooves can be cut, it is much stronger than the tripping rope used by the imperial court, this is a good thing." ”

"Yes, when he discussed the art of war with Huaidao, he once mentioned that the innovation of weapons will change the method of warfare, this thing is a good proof, with it, our army is no longer afraid of cavalry, and many tactics will be outdated." Li Jing said with emotion, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Huaidao, who was deploying the command, and added: "How does this guy's brain grow, it seems to be a simple iron wire, but no one has thought of using it like this for thousands of years. ”

"This is not an iron wire, the iron wire will break under a strong impact, this will not." Cheng Yanjin reminded, pulled out the knife and prepared to cut it to see if it could be cut.

When a special operations division soldier saw it, he couldn't help but remind: "Lu Guogong, don't cut it, we tried, it's useless, everything that can be cut is waste, and it won't be brought to the battlefield." ”

"Have you tried?" Cheng Yanjin asked.

"You have to pass the inspection to bring it, this is the rule, your knife keeps chopping, our knife can, but it also has to be strong enough." The other party explained.

"Your knives are different?" Cheng Yanjin's interest increased greatly.

The other party smiled, did not continue to explain, and went busily.

"Hey, this kid!" Cheng Yanjin couldn't catch up to see how the opponent's knife was, looked at Li Jing and continued: "Huaidao has made a lot of good things, our old things are really outdated, but Lao Tzu still can't guess how he can win this battle, that's a hundred thousand army, and the city defense." ”

"Look!" Li Jing was also puzzled.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

Suddenly, there was a roar of war drums in the city ahead, shaking the heavens and the earth.
