"The thieves in the city will come out quickly! The two armies are fighting, since they should be in a clear battle formation, a dignified decisive victory, and now they are only surrounded without fighting, what is the art of war! The general of my family said that if the thief general is cowardly in battle, the city will hang a white flag, and our army can go around. If you don't surrender any longer, you will die on the day the city is broken, and there will be no place to bury! ”

Several Jingzhou soldiers rushed to the foot of Kim Yong City on horseback, shouting loudly at the top of the city for battle, but they were only responded to by arrows flying from the city and the scolding of the Northern Qi defenders.

"Stupid thief, your lord Li Boshan mistakenly led the men and horses to death, and running out of grain and grass is a dead end! The king of my family has an order, and all the thieves of the Western Army can capture and kill Li Boshan as a sacrifice, and tell the court to ask for the title of the county duke, assassinate the history, and give ten thousand things! ”

Hearing the response of the defenders at the head of the city, Li Tai suddenly became angry, Damn, Lao Tzu has been tossing for so many years, one life is not enough to be crowned a king? But Zhu Hun Daoyuan is simply too deceitful!

In the evening, he returned to the White Horse Temple with great anger, and instructed the soldiers to prepare the stove for cooking. ”

Hearing Li Tai's order, Han Baohu, a young man standing aside with a lance, showed a look of wanting to speak and stopped, opened his mouth several times, but finally closed his mouth.

Li Tai smiled after seeing his expression: "If you have something to say, you might as well speak up." ”

He is naturally very optimistic about Han Baohu, this time he went north, because he knew that the danger was not small, and the other cronies and young disciples arranged to follow Li Renjie and others to act together, as for this Han Baohu, he went north with him. Han Xiong's opinion was consulted before, and Han Xiong was also very happy that his son would follow under Li Tai's command, so Li Tai accepted him as a cronie, and even handed over the horse lance used when he went to the battle to Han Baohu to carry.

"The last general, the last general, actually wants to ask the general, is the situation of our army really as the enemy said, in danger, not in danger?"

Hearing Li Tai say this, Han Baohu no longer endured it, and directly asked his doubts and worries.

"How can you not be fierce when you use soldiers? But so that the enemy is not afraid and strong, where is the fear? ”

After Li Tai heard this, he replied with a smile: "Soldiers are impermanent, and the operation between life and death is not determined at the moment when victory or defeat is decided, who can say for sure?" ”

"But now the general is reducing the number of stoves day by day, thinking that he wants to make the illusion that the food and grass are about to run out, and lure the enemy to fight......"

Hearing that the general was just reasoning, but not talking about the specific situation he was facing now, Han Baohu couldn't help but say again, saying that he was not a simple naughty boy, but also able to see the inside story under the surface of things.

Seeing that although this kid is not very old, he already has a lot of eyesight and insight, and it can be seen that his talent is indeed good, Li Tai said again: "Why lure the enemy to fight, instead of intimidating the enemy to not dare to fight?" The truth of things may be the same, but different people will have different effects when they do it. ”

When Han Baohu heard this, he frowned, lowered his head and muttered for a while before he suddenly smiled again: "Yes, the general is in this realm, and he seems to be putting himself in danger. The enemy general is greedy for merit, and he will certainly not be willing to let go of this great achievement, but the general is famous and has won many battles, and if he does not have several times the force to besiege him, it will definitely be difficult to win.

Now it seems that the general is trapped here, but if you want to win, you will inevitably have to fight hard. But if we see that our army is short of food and grass, then the enemy army will not be in a hurry to attack. We only need to firmly defend the defensive line, and we can sit back and watch our army run out of food and win without a fight.

Therefore, the more anxious our army is to fight, the more the enemy army will not fight easily! Different techniques are used by different people, and the effect is really different, if the last general uses this strategy, the enemy army is afraid that he will not be able to hold back the group to attack, how can he endure it so far? ”

Hearing that this kid was a little clear, Li Tai was also very pleased, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "If you put a little more effort into it, you can do what I want." ”

When Han Baohu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, faintly unconvinced, and didn't believe that there was anything he hadn't imagined.

"The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom. The thieves surrounded me with several times the number of troops, but they were afraid to fight. It seems that there is no war, but in fact, there is no war every day. If you don't dare to attack if you have all the advantages, the situation will be reversed in the coming days, and the thieves will dare to fight fiercely? ”

Li Tai said with a smile again, sometimes the war is fought with a momentum, but Zhu Hun Yuan wants to clean himself up here at the lowest cost and in the safest way, but he takes this opportunity to change the law every day to wear down the sharpness and fighting spirit of the Northern Qi people.

Although morale is difficult to quantify and describe, it does affect the combat effectiveness of an army. Just like when he fought with the Northern Qi Jingqi in the Qianjian before, the other party could still fight fiercely even if he did not have an advantage, but after being intimidated by Li Tai, he was defeated and left his uncle's body before evacuating.

When Han Baohu heard this, he was convinced, it was just a bluff and pretending to be weak, and there were so many game considerations in it.

"No wonder the general can repeatedly defeat the general of the Eastern Thief, this Zhu Hunyuan can also be regarded as a general among the thieves, because he is in Heluo, it is difficult for me to carry out even if I have a plan. But now he came to meet the general, but the use of troops was so mediocre and slow, and everything fell within the general's plan. ”

After understanding this, Han Baohu couldn't help but sigh and said, because he couldn't help but sigh after hearing his father mention Zhu Hunyuan, so he admired Li Tai's handiness when he faced him.

After hearing this, Li Tai sighed again: "But Zhu Hunyuan is not wrong, he just wants to beat me too much." thinks that he has a good fortune, but he is willing to fight in battle, how can he fight the outlaws? ”

Zhu Hunyuan, who was far away in Kim Yong City, couldn't hear Li Tai's comments about him, and at dusk he stood on the head of Kim Yong Cheng, looking at the obviously reduced stove smoke in the direction of the White Horse Temple, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression seemed to be happy and worried.

Such an obvious and rhythmic reduction in cooking smoke naturally cannot be the actual situation. But it is not known whether Li Boshan deliberately made this arrangement, whether he was fearless or the opposite.

However, this is not important, now there are more than ten miles of camps between Gushui and Luoshui, and there are thousands of elite cavalry who can respond to the battalions at any time to ensure that Li Boshan's men and horses can be firmly trapped in this realm.

In fact, the situation has developed to this point, but Zhu Hunyuan can also guess that Li Boshan is using himself as bait to attract the mobile forces between Heluo here, and the purpose is obviously to create opportunities for other troops.

But in the face of absolute strength, the effect that any conspiracy can achieve is actually very limited. Now that Li Boshan is trapped here, even if there are other troops who want to capture any fortress, it will be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time, after all, before the arrival of the main force of the Kansai army, Li Boshan can mobilize very limited men and horses.

When the crisis manifests, Zhu Hunyuan still has enough time and strength to respond, after all, at the moment of confrontation between the two sides, he has the absolute initiative.

At present, although he did not attack in order to preserve the siege of the forces, after Li Boshan's tactics elsewhere were revealed, if it was really very tricky, he still had time to attack and kill Li Boshan in a group before turning to deal with the crisis.

On the fifth day of the encirclement set up by Zhu Hunyuan, Li Tai's back hand was finally revealed.

"There are tens of thousands of barbarians descending from Zhou Mountain and attacking Baiting City?"

When he heard the news of the scout's arrival, Zhu Hunyuan's face changed sharply, he had already guessed that Li Tai might have the intention of attacking Baiting City, but he didn't expect that it was not the people of the headquarters that he used, but the barbarians he used, and he didn't expect that his people would be able to mobilize so many barbarians!

"Li Boshan is less than here, how can he instigate so many barbarian troops? Is there a mistake in the message? ”

The barbarians are an important force among Yiluo, but when Zhu Hun Yuan was sitting here, he naturally paid great attention to pacifying his people, or co-opting or conquering them, and there were many barbarian chieftains in his army to serve him.

But even if he, the chief of Heluo, can use the barbarian armament, it is difficult to reach tens of thousands of people casually, and Li Tai doesn't even have the experience of sitting in Heluo for a long time, where did he get such a big appeal?

"All the barbarians are shouting, after chasing Li Da and Li Thief to break through the cities of Heluo, they can equally divide the grain and weapons in the city! Among the thieves is Li Renjie, the grandson of Yichuan thief Li Changshou, whose family has been a barbarian chief for a long time, and when Li Thief attacked Heyang City in the old years, he did indeed have similar behavior......"

Barbarians are naturally not fools, and they have never been profitable and can't afford to be early, but Zhu Hunyuan is indeed majestic when he sits here, but no matter how strong you are, it is great that Lao Tzu will take away the deep mountains and old forests without provoking you.

But General Li's appeal was built up with real money, food, and ordnance, although when the Heyang military resources were divided at that time, it was mainly Han Xiong and other righteous divisions who accounted for the majority, but because the total amount was very considerable, the Zhuzhu Zhan Barbarian Chieftains also ate a wave of fat.

Therefore, General Li's generous and bold name is also very loud among Yiluo, and now he is leading his troops to kill Heluo again, and there are hundreds of thousands of Kansai troops behind him who will soon be killed.

When Zhu Hunyuan figured out this logic, his face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet and complain angrily: "Pan Le, Xue Guyan, it's really a mediocre thing!" ”

He had a lot of plans, but he didn't expect Li Tai to be able to pull up a new force of tens of thousands of people directly between Heluo. Even if the combat effectiveness of the barbarians is not too high, in the current delicate and tense situation, Zhu Hunyuan does not dare to underestimate the destructive power of these barbarians.

"Order the troops to attack the White Horse Temple immediately! Break through the White Horse Temple, capture Li Boshan alive, and then suppress the barbarians! ”

In this case, it is natural that the loss of the strong attack on the White Horse Temple can no longer be calculated, and the only way to do it now is to fight quickly, and then free up his hands to deal with other changes, so Zhu Hunyuan hurriedly ordered.
