Chapter 132: Defending Tao Temple The three armies are parallel
There is a foundation of trust between the two sides. So he sat down in the council hall and began to discuss how to attack Red Mountain City.
"Before we start discussing this, I want to know when you will return the cities of our Hu Kingdom?"
"You can return it at any time, it is your city that naturally needs to be returned, so return the White Bird City to Prince Tang Fu first?"
Before Tang Fu could speak, Tang Bo began to protest: "Big brother, that's my city!" If you want to return it, you will return it to me, but I am not in a hurry to ask for it. ”
Tang Bo still pinned his hopes on Tang Jun, and he couldn't be offended at this time.
"Then or return Taosi City to Prince Tang Fu? But now even if we return it, it seems that we can't hold it, so we still have to study how to attack Hongshan City, and then return the city behind when we take Hongshan City? ”
Tang Fu nodded, but he felt that these young people in front of him were not easy to mess with, they exuded a dangerous aura all over their bodies, this feeling was very bad, Tang Fu shrank back.
Fan Qingyan cleared his throat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we think so, I heard Prince Tang Bo say that Tang Hai should return to Taosi City this morning with eight thousand men, we are ready, and we have already let the army of White Bird City go to support, we should be able to kill a pit."
"And then?"
"We should take this opportunity to besiege Hongshan City and take down the city, so that we can occupy all the cities, and Tanghai can only be a dead end."
Fan Qingyan's spittle splashed everywhere, and everyone present seemed to see the result of the victory.
Tang Fu thought for a moment.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you have too many soldiers, and I'm really not at ease."
Tomahawk stood up: "I know that you are not at ease, when attacking the city, we will take the lead in attacking the city, and when the soldiers are almost consumed, you will go up again and retain your forces, how about it?" ”
"That's fine!"
"Then it's decided, there is one more thing, the two princes of Tang Bo and Tang Fu, you have to go to Hongshan City first, we have been marching for a day and a night, we have to rest to have combat effectiveness"
Tang Bo always responded positively to Li Chengzhou's words.
"I agree!"
Tang Fu had no choice but to agree.
"Prince Tang Fu, please rest assured, you only need to surround them, and then attack the city when we are in place, and we will gather all the troops at that time to open up a bloody road for you."
Li Chengzhou brought the Tang army into the city, and at this time the 8,000 soldiers in the barracks also began to assemble, they went out of the city, and the Tang army entered the city.
"The two princes should go, and when we are rested, we will go to Red Mountain City to replace you."
Li Chengzhou was lying on a kang in the barracks.
Tomahawk asked, "When are we going to get up and go to them?" ”
Fan Qingyan sneered: "Whatever, the purpose of besieging Hongshan City has been achieved, it is good to share a little pressure for the teachers and them, and I believe that General Meng will definitely be able to defeat Tang Hai with the support of reinforcements." ”
"Yes, Brother Qingyan is right, whatever! We'll talk about it when we wake up, and we'll talk about it when the soldiers are rested. ”
"Then the city belongs to us?"
"That's nature!"
"Does the garrison still need to be disbanded?"
"Tomahawk, are you stupid in the barracks, of course you have to keep it, at least protect us while we sleep and rest, and disband when my senior brother comes."
The people in the city were surprised by the movement of the army, why the movement was so frequent in the past few days, and even now the troops stationed in the city are unknown.
Before going to bed, Li Chengzhou called a soldier from the city guard.
"If you go to White Bird City now, just say that Li Chengzhou asked Zhou Qi to come to Liangzhu City."
Then he took out a small piece of gold and gave it to him.
"Hurry up, go and go back quickly."
The soldier was ordered to set off with his companions to White Bird City.
Then Li Chengzhou found a room where no one was there to sleep alone, and he thought the tomahawk was snoring too loudly.
While Li Chengzhou was sleeping comfortably, Taosi City was not at ease.
Three battalions of soldiers are now working to fortify the city walls, dig traps and trenches, and build fortifications for the city before Tang Hai comes.
Under the temptation of Fang Changge, thousands of people eventually joined the construction team.
"Old Fang, you said that this kid Li Chengzhou should have sent troops, right?"
"Call Your Majesty, you have to correct it"
"Hey, Old Fang, you said that Your Majesty should send troops, right?"
"Probably not, if there are reinforcements, they should arrive with the shadow guards."
"So what do we do? Three thousand to guard eight thousand? ”
"General Meng, are you afraid?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that these soldiers are too poorly equipped now, and they feel comfortable using them."
"If you are handy, then anyone can come to defend the city, the equipment of the soldiers is important, but more important is your strategy."
Meng Biao couldn't refute a word.
He asked the soldiers to lower the Tang character banner, and the soldiers at the head of the city changed into the clothes of the previous defenders, and he wanted to deceive the enemy into getting closer.
Then he thought about it again, and asked the soldiers to go and cut down trees in the forest outside the city, and find trees that were as thick as their wrists, cut them half a man high, and sharpen one end, and put the pointed end upwards, and bury the other end in the earth, such stakes covered the gates, and at the same time the walls were also covered with such horses, about half a meter wide.
Meng Biao did these things in a hurry, Fang Changge just lay on the rocking chair to rest, if Meng Biao couldn't win this battle, then Datang really had no talent.
At the same time, three teams set out on the journey.
One is Tang Hai, who is preparing to go to Taosi City to transport supplies, this team has 8,000 people, including 4,000 wounded, and is ready to return to Taosi City to recuperate.
In Tang Bo's opinion, such a scene is now beneficial to him, two cities are in his hands, and there is also a White Bird City that can provide him with a large amount of supplies.
He no longer thinks about what to do if he loses, but how to deal with Tang Bo after winning.
The second is Tang Bo Tangfu's coalition army, this team has 11,000 people, and a thousand wounded have to go to the battlefield together, they can be said to be desperate, all the troops will be concentrated in Hongshan City for a decisive battle.
The third army was the Sanzi Battalion and the Sanmiao Battalion led by Wang Ping, and he and the Sanzi Battalion had just arrived at White Bird City to rest for a night, and before they started to build fortifications, they were going back to Taosi City.
The army he led was different from Tanghai, which was slowly heading to Taosi City, White Bird City was seventy kilometers away from Taosi City, and Hongshan City was only fifty kilometers away from Taosi City, and Wang Ping had to buy time from the march for this twenty kilometers.
All the soldiers only carried one day's rations and necessary equipment, the Sanmiao battalion directly unloaded the leather armor and went to Taosi City with the lightest equipment, and the Sanzi battalion carried all the armor and equipment to Taosi City at a slightly slower speed.
The two groups of soldiers were able to give full play to their greatest strengths.
