The fire in the brazier was burning very strongly, and Zhu Di's rough big hand turned over on the brazier: "Why? ”

Gu Huai nodded to Ma Sanbao, who was standing aside, and carefully considered the sentence: "The stalemate in the battle situation is not good for our army, because the supplies in the city cannot be sent, and Li Jinglong cannot be defeated in a war of attrition." ”

He thought about this for a long time, logically speaking, about the war, he is not suitable to speak, after all, he is still half a layman, what he can think of, Zhu Di must be able to think of it, but... What if? Zhu Di is not an immortal, it is impossible to cover everything, what if he is a bystander at this point?

So what should be mentioned still has to be mentioned, after all, he's a strategist now, isn't he? used to watch costume dramas, shouldn't a scribe jump out to point out at this time?

After listening to Gu Huai's words, Zhu Di nodded slightly, and his expression couldn't tell whether he agreed or opposed: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

Gu Huai thought for a while: "Since we can't stalemate, we can only fight quickly, and now that the southern army is half attacking the city and half facing each other, can you think of a way to break it one by one?" The odds are much greater. ”

Zhu Di nodded: "In the past two days, you are not the only one who has thought of it, there are a lot of words, even I feel that the heavy supplies sent from the south are directly sent to Li Jinglong's Chinese army camp, and then he allocates the three armies, the supplies are not easy to come by, and they have to be eaten by hundreds of thousands of troops, and the consumption is extremely amazing, so I sent Zhang Xin to attack the rear, hoping to cut off the supply line." ”

Gu Huai's expression was relieved: "I see... Since the prince has already planned, his humble position is unfounded. ”

"No, it's one thing to have a plan, but it didn't come in handy," Zhu Di flicked the smokeless charcoal in the brazier, "Li Jiujiang... He had a good calculation, although the consumption was amazing, but now the whole army of the Southern Army is frugal and frugal, and he is not willing to spend lavishly, he would rather let the soldiers starve and freeze, but also ensure that there are no problems with the supply, it seems that he is going to stalemate with me to the end. ”

He smiled coldly: "I used to think that Li Jiujiang was too much on paper, and now it seems that it is not useless, he can see clearly, Beiping has been attacking and defending for almost half a month, and the supplies of the surrounding villages and towns have been completely looted, and my army has transported supplies from Daning, and it won't last long, and there is no way to collect grain on the spot, as long as this period of time is delayed, he can not only capture Beiping, but also let me be defeated and return to the Guanwai, killing two birds with one stone, why not?" ”

Gu Huai sighed: "Is there no way not to drag it out?" ”

"I have thought of a lot of methods, night raids, food shortages, persuasion, and arson, all of which are useless, Li Jiujiang is determined to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and I have no choice."

There was silence in the tent for a while, Zhu Di sat in front of the stove, Gu Huai stood on one side, and their faces were generally ugly.

Rushed back in a hurry, even if the strength was very different, it still played an advantage, for example, the southern army had no cavalry, and now the dilemma can only be a hard head to attack the city and confront, but the advantage is not a victory, that is a big trouble, everything seems to have returned to the battle of Zhending, the Yan army... Still can't afford it.

Then Ma Sanbao, who had been silent, spoke: "Lord Wang, the slave has an idea." ”

Zhu Di was slightly stunned, Ma Sanbao used to be the head of the palace, and now he is his personal guard, this kind of military affairs, he has never spoken much, but he didn't expect to break the silence today: "Come on." ”

"Yes," Ma Sanbao paused, glanced at Gu Huai, and found that Gu Huai's eyes were full of encouragement, so he became bold, "What the prince thinks, but he doesn't want to drag it out, since this is the case, in the end, it is to watch the battlefield fight, since this is the case... Why don't you show a flaw first, and then attack the enemy's key points, and finish it in one battle? ”

Zhu Di solemnized: "Critical? ”

"The key point of the southern army is Li Jinglong's Chinese army, he has arranged Zhengcunba to the point where it is not leaky, but as long as his Chinese army moves its position, he can take advantage of its unstable foothold to attack the left and right with cavalry, and then he will definitely win a big victory!"

The idea... It's kind of interesting.

Zhu Di was silent, thinking a little nervously, probably thinking that sitting affected his thinking, he stood up and paced back and forth in the big tent, his brows furrowed.

After all, he is now a eunuch, not a general, if Ma Sanbao's words fall on a pedantic person like Li Jinglong, I am afraid that he will have to reprimand two sentences of transgression, Ma Sanbao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, King Yan will not think about those, as long as it is useful, it doesn't matter if he is proposed by a eunuch or a general?

Gu Huai also substituted this idea, and after thinking for a while, he found that it was really feasible, since Wang Ba's shell is not easy to gnaw, then let it take the initiative to take it off, but there will inevitably be great risks in this process, and how to choose depends on Zhu Di, the commander of the three armies.

He raised his hand and gave Ma Sanbao a thumbs up, Ma Sanbao smiled and became a little nervous.

He is an expert in killing people, but he is really not good at this kind of strategy that affects the overall situation, will the prince really adopt his opinion?

The footsteps stopped, Zhu Di's eyes gradually brightened, he looked at Ma Sanbao, and then at Gu Huai, as if he had made up his mind:

"Listen to me..."

……

It's already night, and like the previous three days, more than 10,000 lives have been left on this snow-melted plain today.

The battle losses of the two sides are actually about the same, after all, the numerical advantage of the southern army is here, no matter how brave and good the Yan soldiers are, they must also consider whether the southern army that is attacking the city will copy their camp, so there are so many people who can fight, and this battle seems to be fighting more and more tacitly, once the battle damage reaches a certain number, the generals on both sides will withdraw their troops, and then clean up the battlefield when it is dark, and wait until the next day to continue to fight on this plain until the sky is dark.

Cleaning the battlefield is a dangerous job, if you are not careful, you will be hit by cold arrows, dozens of southern soldiers in the night are collecting arrows and spears left on the battlefield, and occasionally reach into the arms of those soldiers who died in battle, if you can find some silver taels, then this trip will not be a loss, but if you touch a hand of blood and can only find some family letters or something, it is too uneconomical to take this risk.

According to the temper of the Yan army, there is a high probability that there will be no night attack tonight, after all, the battle is almost dark, and the Yan soldiers also have to rest, but what people didn't expect was that soon the Yan army camp appeared dazzling fire, and several southern soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield took a look at it, only to find that it was not a fire, but a continuous torch one after another.

The Yan army wants to attack at night?

Soon a whistle sounded, reminding the battalion to be vigilant, but the torch did not strike at the southern army battalion, but formed a long dragon that stretched to... Beiping City?

Not good, their target is the camp besieging the city under the city of Beiping!

The generals of the Southern Army quickly realized this, and still like last time, they divided their troops and stole the camp to force the Yan army to return to help, and at the same time, the mighty army rushed to Beiping City, but when the three governors hit the Yan army camp, they found that the building was empty!

The Yan army all drove to Beiping!

Because of the reason that the scout confrontation was down, the southern army always had to shoot at night when it received the news, and the speed at which Li Jinglong led the troops to help was naturally not as fast as the Yan army's march, and he couldn't have imagined that the Yan army, who had been born for a few days, suddenly played with his life and wanted to fight a decisive battle with him!

Zhu Di's unstingy temperament is really the same as always, it's really like this every time, and it's still like this now, hasn't he read the book of soldiers? I don't know if those battles in the past were all about-for-tat, and there were back and forth?

Why do you still play with your life at every turn?

Zhu Di's combat style is still deeply affected by the grassland war, the Central Plains war, most of them rely on the city, so it is normal to attack and defend for ten days and a half months, and the grassland is fleeting, and the slightest hesitation, the Mongols on the opposite side will flee beyond reach, so the war must be ruthless, and the response must be fast.

And this is exactly what Li Jinglong lacks, he is familiar with military books, has always been imaginary combat, the first time in so many years to really command the army is this northern expedition, so the grasp of the fighter and the understanding of the war is far inferior to Zhu Di, so once Zhu Di's actions exceed his expectations, he will inevitably be in a hurry, and even the command of the army to go to aid is procrastinated.

Of course, he didn't worry that this was a trap, but on the other hand, this was also a great opportunity, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the siege camp, no matter how Zhu Di could fight, it was impossible to eat so many troops in one go, right? And as long as he can lead his troops to help Zhu Di block under Beiping City, the Yan army in the city will not be able to help, and Zhu Di will not be able to return to the city, wouldn't it be like catching turtles in the urn?

Li Jinglong, who was galloping on a horse at night, was full of pride, only feeling that Zhu Di was forced by his own strategy to take risks, and once people are in a hurry, they are easy to make mistakes. That's it.

But then he suddenly realized something, and even subconsciously reined in the horse's reins.

Wait a minute... What if the siege camp is breached? Hundreds of thousands of leaderless soldiers, where will they run? It must be the camp of the Southern Army headed for Zhengcunba!

If you collide head-on with the reinforcements you brought with you...

No, that's an army of hundreds of thousands, not hundreds of thousands of pigs!

Li Jinglong's face changed.
