What to do now?

Zhao Fuling had thought about this problem before coming to Qianzhou.

Three thousand people may not look like much, but they are dozens of times them. If you want to fight an encirclement war with Qianzhou, it is almost impossible. Because they and the defenders of the city combined, the total number is not as large as the other party.

And now it's not sure, are these *** armies only 3,000 people, or 3,000 people only as a vanguard army, and there will be reinforcements coming later?

So the biggest possibility is to harass and make the other party unintentional to attack the city.

It's just that compared with the defenders in Qizhou City, the danger factor of their eighty people is much higher.

Zhao Fuling thought for a long time, looked at Ah Yue and said, "Explore the location of the grain and grass first, and cut off their back road. Then find the commanding heights, just attack from a distance and not meet the battle. They retreat and we advance, and they advance and we retreat!"

It can also be regarded as guerrilla warfare in disguise.

For battles with few people, this flexible style of play must be adopted.

Zhao Fuling has seen the topographic map on the road, and there are deep mountains outside the city of Qianzhou, and it is not easy for the cavalry to enter, but the operation of the foot army is very flexible.

And there are 80 people in the family, and only three of them have mounts...... If you want to be able to fight a tug-of-war, it's best to grab some horses.

As the saying goes, if there are no guns and no cannons, then let the enemy make them for us!

This necessary horse for war has to be snatched from the opponent's hands.

But before that, you have to go to the mountains to make some preparations.

Zhao Fuling waited for everyone to finish eating and resting, and when the sky was about to dawn, they all moved forward into the deep mountains outside Qianzhou.

……

At this time, in the city of Qianzhou, the defenders in the city looked solemn.

The sudden attack of the army was something that no one expected. Because they have the natural barrier of Zhengrong Pass in front of them, as long as Zhengrong Pass is not broken, there will be no enemy army in Qizhou.

But now...... The crowd didn't know what went wrong.

The road to deliver the letter outside the city was blocked, and the news to Zhengrong Pass could not be delivered, and although other state cities sent the news, they could not get a reply for a long time.

Even if reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid that the city of Qizhou has already been broken.

Everyone didn't sleep all night, and they sat in the middle of the night, and they couldn't discuss any countermeasures left and right.

The garrison of Qizhou asked, "If all the troops in the city are transferred to the East City Gate, how many days can they last?"

A middle-aged military general had a tired face and a hoarse voice: "If all the troops are transferred, they should be able to hold out for about five days. But ......."

Before he finished speaking, a person ran in from outside, and said in a hurried tone, "Your Excellency, there is an enemy attack at the South City Gate!"

Everyone was shocked, and several generals immediately got up. Several civil officials in the official office of Qianzhou were full of sadness, pacing back and forth in the hall, but they didn't know what to do.

The generals discussed fiercely for a long time, and finally unanimously decided to divide the defenders of the city into two and arrange them at the east and south gates for the time being.

Although the number of people is not large, fortunately, their supplies are quite complete, and they can hold on for two or three days if they grit their teeth and stick to it.

I just don't know, in the next two or three days, will there be reinforcements coming?

Everyone sighed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show other expressions on their faces, for fear of affecting their morale.

After dawn, a new round of siege began outside.

The Qizhou garrison walked up to the city wall, looked down with a solemn face, and only felt that the black crowd was like a boulder, weighing heavily on his heart.

The defenders fought back, but with little effect.

The other party is menacing and well-prepared, looking at this, I am afraid that I am determined to take Qizhou within two days.

The garrison tightened his hands and was about to go down the city wall, when he suddenly saw a man riding a horse on the mountain road five miles outside the city.

The horses were so fast that they leapt in the blink of an eye like lightning. The man on horseback was dressed in a military uniform, and he couldn't see the man and woman clearly, but the red cloak behind him was swept up high.

A man and a horse leaped behind the enemy, and the man suddenly straightened up, took off his longbow from his back, and fired three arrows.

Three arrows were fired in unison, and the enemy troops who fell on the outermost edge were instantly penetrated, and they fell one after another. former

The people on the side were still attacking the city, but they were accidentally attacked by the back, and this group of *** instantly reversed direction.

The guard's heart was raised, but when he saw that the man was not in love with the battle, and after firing three arrows in unison, he immediately rode back and went back.

The soldier was innocently killed, and the other party was only one person and one horse, how could the *** army give up?

In a short time, more than a dozen cavalry rushed out of the army and pursued in the direction of the white horse.

But the guard clearly saw that the white horse was much faster than ordinary horses, and cooperated with its master. Even if these cavalry catch up, I'm afraid they may not be able to catch up.

Just as he was looking at it, Lord Zhizhou of Qizhou City came up to the city wall and asked worriedly, "Lord Ding, is there any news for reinforcements?"

The guard came back to his senses, a little hesitant: "I don't know, if it's news......

That one man and one horse looked a bit like reinforcements, but there was only one man and one horse!

But the garrison didn't expect that after just a cup of tea, two more horses appeared on the mountain road five miles away.

There are two men sitting on horseback, also carrying bows on their backs, and after riding their horses to a certain position, they draw their bows and shoot arrows. It doesn't matter if you hit it or not, after firing twice in a row, you immediately turn around and run.

In the army, there was a team chasing out, and the other party did not love the battle, or even did not look back at all.

The guard watched, silent for a moment.

What do you think of this reinforcement...... A bit of a cat teasing dog?

Probably there was always a problem in the rear, and the enemy's offensive was no longer as strong as before, and the defenders in the city were relieved.

And Zhao Fuling and others outside the city, after introducing two small groups of *** armies into the mountains and forests, took advantage of the terrain to completely play guerrilla warfare. The deep pit was dug on the spot, and the vines were also tied first, and after the busy work in the middle of the night, they waited for this time to ambush and control the enemy.

Everyone was nervous, for fear that something would happen to Zhao Fuling and the three of them.

It was only after Zhao Fuling's bright red cloak appeared in view that they were completely relieved.

The white horse led people into the forest, and the brothers who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, stumbling over their horses' legs, firing dark arrows, and wielding swords, and were very busy.

These *** soldiers almost didn't have time to react, and they were wiped off their necks and lost their lives.

There are also people who hide in the tree, and if they find that the other person is dead, they jump down and make up for it.

After two rounds, nearly 40 enemies were annihilated, more than 20 horses and weapons were captured.

Zhao Fuling ordered people to hide all the weapons, and then divided the horses into two groups.

One group continued to harass the army under the city, and the other group burned the other party's grain and grass, and then immediately evacuated.

Everyone has won a small victory, and they are also very confident at this time, and their momentum has risen sharply. Zhao Fuling didn't say much, just told everyone's safety first, if you really encounter danger, the most important thing is to protect yourself.

There are more than 70 people, and losing one of them is a very big loss for them.

So even if he escaped, Zhao Fuling would not hold him accountable.
