After traveling in many places, Tang Xiaohao and Bao Meng finally found Antai outside the South City Gate, and also saw Childa standing beside Antai.

Gilda is directing his war slaves to dig a pit outside the city.

At a glance, there are only people on the grassland outside the city, but there are horse-drawn carts carrying earth.

The traps dug by the war slave army are very primitive, that is, deep pits, and lack of resources, it is not even possible to place wooden or bamboo thorns to the bottom of the deep pit for killing, so they can only dig the pit as deep as possible, so that once the running monsters fall into it, they cannot easily climb out.

Antai and Childa first saluted Tang Xiaohao and Bao Meng, and briefly explained what they were doing, but did not mention why they wanted to strengthen the city defense and dig traps outside the city.

Bao Meng naturally pretended to be curious and asked, "Antai Dadutong, why are you digging a pit here?"

While Bao Meng spoke, Tang Xiaohao walked to the nearest pit and looked down.

"It's part of the city's defenses."

Tang Xiaohao asked coldly, "Who to prevent? Will anyone come and attack the city of Hacha? It can't be Ruiyuan's Yan clan, right?"

Antai hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a monster."

"Monsters?" Tang Xiaohao pretended to be puzzled, "Is it the monster that attacked the Wada Department and the Northwest Battalion?"

Antai nodded and said, "Yes."

Bao Meng took the opportunity to ask, "When I came back, I heard that the Quran was also attacked by monsters?"

Cerda's face turned ugly.

Antai nodded slightly, "Yes."

Tang Xiaohao said: "It seems that this is a confidential matter in the army, and it is inconvenient for Dadu Tong to tell me and the princess, in other words, Dadu Tong is now completely subordinate to Prince Gurke, is this what it means?"

Antai immediately said, "No, I ......."

Tang Xiaohao raised his hand to signal Antai that he didn't need to explain: "I know that you have difficulties, but speaking out about your difficulties may solve a lot of things, you understand what I mean." I'm not going to force you, but I want to tell you that the later you speak out, the more people will die."

Antai shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know what a colt means."

Tang Xiaohao smiled, pointed to the deep pit next to him and said, "You asked them to dig this deep pit?"

Antai asked rhetorically, "Do you think there's something wrong with the colt?"

Tang Xiaohao turned to look at the deep pit: "I see that this pit is almost a foot and a half high, right? It's almost impossible for ordinary people to climb out after falling in, unless they are people who know kung fu or strange arts, but what if those monsters jump very high?"

Antai immediately said, "Those monsters can jump up to a foot at most."

Tang Xiaohao immediately asked, "How do you know?"

"We've fought monsters, of course we know," said Antai.

Tang Xiaohao glanced at Cherda, Cherda didn't dare to make eye contact with Tang Xiaohao, it was obvious that there was a problem in this.

Tang Xiaohao said again, "Those monsters will definitely appear in groups, right? So, when you think that monsters are swarming, you can't avoid these pits, which are separated by a foot from each other. Dadutong, you have to know that this is the way to deal with cavalry, even if it is against the ordinary infantry of Huayuan, it is meaningless, because the infantry has ropes and ladders, and it is easy to climb such a deep pit of one and a half feet."

Antai said lightly, "But we are dealing with monsters, and monsters have no ropes and no ladders."

Tang Xiaohao said, "Do you know the specific number of monsters? If there are tens of thousands, then the monster can jump out by stepping on the back or shoulder of the monster companion after falling into it, so there is no point in digging this kind of trap in which no lethal weapons are placed."

Antai behaved indifferently, and it was obvious that he knew this.

Therefore, Tang Xiaohao can directly infer that Antai is just the executor, and there is someone else who makes him do it.

Antai is the Dadu Tong, and there is only one person above the Dadu Tong, and that is Gurke.

Bao Meng looked at Antai and didn't say anything, just looked at it, looking innocent.

Baomeng tried to pretend to be stupid according to what Tang Xiaohao said, pretending that she seemed to know everything

I don't know, it's unpredictable what she thinks inside.

Tang Xiaohao sat directly on the edge of the deep pit and looked at the slaves who were still struggling to dig and transport soil in the distance: "Lord Antai, General Chierda, let me tell you a story, the real story." Look at the book

Cerda glanced at Antai, Antai stepped forward to stand beside Tang Xiaohao, and Cerda stood behind him.

Tang Xiaohao still looked ahead: "I won't say which dynasty or generation, anyway, it was thousands of years ago...... There is a siege battle in Huayuan, and the defender of the city is called Party A, and the one who besieges the city is called Party B. Party A's city defense is very strong, and there are still urn cities in the four city towers, and there are also urn cities in the urn city, a total of three floors."

Tang Xiaohao said this, looking up at An Tai: "Dadutong, do you think Hacha City is so strong? No, there is not even an urn city, and the thickness of the city wall is not as good as that of the Tiangan Daoliang City."

Antai was silent, just stood there, as if he was really listening.

Bao Meng also sat on the edge of the pit like Tang Xiaohao, and gently put his hand on Tang Xiaohao's hand.

Bao Meng didn't want to remind Tang Xiaohao not to say the wrong thing as before, but wanted Tang Xiaohao to know that he was next to him.

Tang Xiaohao continued: "Party B did not attack, they knew very well that a strong attack would pay a heavy price, so they planned to besiege the city, and before besieging the city, they tried to cut off the water source in Party A's city. As long as the water source is cut off, in less than a month, Party A will open the city and surrender, but Party B does not have so much time, they only have half a month, because they need to meet with other armies and attack the next city."

Tang Xiaohao said this, and looked at Bao Meng: "Princess, if you were the commander of Party B, what would you do?"

Bao Meng shook his head, "I don't understand."

After speaking, Bao Meng asked Antai, "Lord Antai, what would you do if it was you?"

Antai shook his head: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no point in talking about it on paper."

Tang Xiaohao smiled: "I have explained all the environmental conditions clearly, if you still don't know, I will give you some hints."

As he spoke, Tang Xiaohao pointed to the deep pit under his feet.

Gilda on the side blurted out, "Authentic."

Tang Xiaohao said, "Yes, dig a tunnel. However, Party B did not take the action of digging tunnels to attack, but directly excavated outside the range of Party A's bow and arrows, and directly excavated in a position on the wall of Party A's city that could be seen visually, digging quickly, day and night, and Party A immediately sent people to bury altars everywhere in the city to listen to the movement underground, after all, digging tunnels to attack the city was very common at that time, and Party A naturally had a way to deal with it."

Antai frowned and looked at Tang Xiaohao: "What do you want to say?"

Tang Xiaohao said: "Party B didn't dig a tunnel at all, just made a show, all the actions were just to keep Party A's entire army on high alert within twelve hours, vigilance means nervousness, and then, Party B left with great fanfare, bypassing that city to attack the next city."

Antai frowned: "Just left?"

Tang Xiaohao said: "The significance of Party B's withdrawal is to make Party A's guards confused. Soon, Party A found that Party B was still digging tunnels, but it was done at night, and if it wasn't for Party A's guards who noticed that something was wrong and fired fiery arrows into the distance, otherwise, it would not have been possible to find that Party B had not given up."

Speaking of this, Tang Xiaohao asked again, "Antai Dadutong, if you were the defender of Party A, what would you do now?"

"Do nothing," Antai shook his head, "that is, he can't hold on."

Tang Xiaohao said, "Yes, you can't hold on. But the problem is that only the people who are excavated by Party B are seen, and their main force is not seen. Party A can only send scouts, and the scouts that can be sent out are like stones sinking into the sea. Party A was in a hurry, so it had to send a reasonable cavalry to attack the place where Party B was digging. Guess what happened?"

Antai pondered for a moment and said, "I found that Party B's troops had all withdrawn, and even the diggers were gone."

Tang Xiaohao nodded: "That's right, so the defenders of Party A immediately decided that Party B had no choice but to rush to the next city and join forces with another army to attack the city."

Gilda said at this time: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Party A should immediately send troops out at this time

Attack, sneak attack from the rear, and kill them by surprise."

"Yes, Party B just wants Party A to do this," Tang Xiaohao smiled, "Party A's guards are more cautious than you, he didn't send a large army, but just let the cavalry team advance to investigate Party A's movements, but was ambushed, and in the end the cavalry team only survived less than five people."

Antey glanced at Childa, who bowed her head in shame.

Tang Xiaohao yawned and said, "The art of strategy and war is to deceive the enemy, make the enemy think that what he sees and hears is true, and then make a wrong judgment."

Antey and Childa were silent.

Tang Xiaohao continued: "After the five cavalrymen who returned alive informed the defenders of Party A, the defenders of Party A decided that Party B did not withdraw its troops, but lured the snake out of the hole. Therefore, Party A no longer dares to go out of the city, and always sticks to it, and from time to time, it is found that there are still people in the location where the tunnels are dug, but they dare not send people out again."

Antai took over: "Party A is fooled, right?"

Tang Xiaohao nodded: "Party A received a message from a flying pigeon near the city asking for help, Party A naturally did not dare to send troops, and still held on until he received the news that the city had been breached, but Party B and another army joined forces to capture it. In other words, after the scout cavalry sent by Party A was ambushed, Party B had already withdrawn. This is the intersection of fiction and reality, so that Party A fell into panic, completely unaware of what Party B was doing, and Party B took advantage of this time to join forces to do more useful things, and completed the siege without spending a single soldier. So, do you understand?"

Antai looked at Tang Xiaohao, of course she understood, otherwise, she would not be qualified to be the capital.

Gilda understood, but remained silent and did not say a word.

Bao Meng deliberately said, "I didn't understand, what does it mean?"

Tang Xiaohao lay directly on the ground, looked at the sky and said, "In this battle, the besieging side used the four words of the art of war: live, suspicious, mistaken, and clumsy. Live is temporary, timely, can advance or retreat; Doubt is that the soldier will be suspicious, and the false doubt will be defeated; Mistakes are mistakes with my wrong laws, or mistakes because they are wrong."

Speaking of this, Tang Xiaohao got up and looked at Bao Meng and said, "As for clumsy, it is to be clumsy when encountering the enemy and holding the wall, or when retreating, it is advisable to be clumsy. That means you have to play stupid when you should be stupid."
