In the twentieth year of Emperor Yonghuang Qin Heng, the Khan of the Qiangqi Khanate led the Wolf Guard, the Eagle Protector and the Xiongben Army, as well as the Eastern Qiangqi Tribal Army, totaling more than 320,000 people, through the desert to Monan, and stationed in Sulu City. Then, with a team of 120,000, 100,000, and 100,000, they were divided into three teams and attacked in three directions: Shuofang County, Linwo County, and Yunzhong County.

In the main hall of the Guangmucheng County Guard's Mansion, Zhang Songqi looked at the three captains sitting at the bottom, and said with a serious face: "According to the known information, there is an army of 100,000 people coming to our Shuofang County. ”

When the officials of the county guard office heard the news, they instantly exploded, and Zhang Songqi listened to this noisy movement, his brows furrowed, and his face suddenly sank. Juncheng Wang Xianzhi looked at the table, "Knock! "Boom!" "Boom!" "Silence!"

The main hall gradually quieted down, Zhang Gengxiao had already known the news in advance, so he didn't have any problems, just listen to his father's words.

Lin Chong spoke and asked, "Lord County Guard, what are the ingredients of these 100,000 Badger Army?" ”

General Zhang Songqi handed it to him, and Lin Chong said while looking at it: "Xiong Ben's army is 40,000 people, and the tribal army is 60,000? This... ”

Zhang Songqi looked at Lin Chong and Wang Rong, nodded and said, "Yes, the 40,000 people of Xiong Ben's army are here, plus the tribal army, our pressure is not small." Zhong Ming, what do you think of the current situation? ”

Wang Wei bowed and said: "Lord County Guard, I have not been here for a long time, and I have always been busy with the internal affairs of the Western Governor's Mansion. ”

Wang Rong didn't tell the truth, and the Detective Affairs Department of the Western Governor's Mansion had already sent the general situation inside the Bearded People back to the city. There are three elite troops within the Qiangbeard Khanate, the Wolf Guard is the Khan's palace tent army, which is composed of the warriors of the whole Khanate selected by the Qiangbeard Khan in imitation of the conditions of the Central Plains to select soldiers.

The selection conditions are to wear a full suit of armor, a scimitar hanging from the waist, a spear in hand, a cowhide shield on the back, fifty long arrows and a hard bow, and carry three days' military rations at the same time, with a total weight of about 70 catties.

The wolf guard is generally equipped with four or five war horses to help them transport weapons and armor used in battle, as well as military rations and sundries needed for marching. Therefore, the wolf guard is extremely mobile, and can fight hundreds or even thousands of miles in a day.

The Eagle Guardian is the palace tent army of the Wolf Guard, and its selection conditions are not as strict as the Wolf Guard, but there is one more powerful than the Wolf Guard, that is, mounted archery. They were able to shoot their arrows at the enemy's face from a distance of fifty paces. And they are extremely organized, and their most powerful trick is the Mangu gangster tactic.

At the beginning of the battle, the vanguard rushes to the front of the line, attacks the opponent with a bow and arrow, and then flees to lure the enemy into pursuit, never engaging the enemy in close combat.

The core of this tactic is to feign a rout and induce the enemy to pursue. Its essence is to attack the enemy from a long distance; Constant attacks on the enemy; Do not give the enemy a chance to fight back.

In this kind of chasing after me, tired of running for your life, you can only chase but can't fight, you can only be beaten but can't fight back. No matter how strong the enemy's armor is, how strong the spirit is. It's only a matter of time before it collapses completely.

In order for Mangugu tactics to succeed, it needs to be built on four important foundations: strong mobility, excellent weapons and armor, a complete army system, and excellent generals.

Xiong Ben Army is the palace tent army of the Qiangqi Khanate Khotun, and has always been the personal guard of the Hou clan, Xiong Ben Army has 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and is the only one of the three elite troops with formed infantry.

The descendants of the Kedun Khanate had a craft that other tribes on the steppe did not have, that is, iron-making, and they plundered the Central Plains in the south, robbing all kinds of craftsmen the most, and then enslaving them and learning their craft. Therefore, the 20,000 infantry of Xiong Ben's army were well-armoured, sharp-armed, and proficient in the tactical tactics of the Central Plains, and could quickly build camps.

Zhang Songqi was noncommittal, he didn't believe in Wang Rong's humble words, this little guy was used to hiding clumsy. He looked at the people in the hall and said, "The Xiong Ben Army is the strongest force among the three elites of the Badgers, and their infantry is strong and well-equipped, which should not be underestimated. ”

After Zhang Songqi finished speaking, he stood up directly, and then said: "In order to better defend Guangmu City, the east and west camps need to be heightened and reinforced, and the west camp village is doing well, Zhong Ming has a heart." ”

Wang Rong bowed his hand and said: "This is all learned from Lin Duwei, and there are many places in Lin Duwei that need to be studied seriously by the last general. ”

Wang Rong's words made Lin Chong's old face red, he really didn't know whether Wang Rong, this kid, was praising or hurting him. Although he is good at building camps, his earnestness is only used on his own camps, and the west camp is just a simple construction.

Wang Rong continued: "Lord County Guard, you are from the army, and you must be familiar with military affairs. Since Xiong Ben's army was good at attacking cities with foot soldiers, they needed to guard against them attacking other cities in Shuofang County. The last general felt that the Hou Ye should have sent orders to the cities earlier, so that they could train their troops at the head of the city, and put the village soldiers and young men all over the wall. In this way, the Bearded People will be able to retreat, and if they want to open up the situation, they can only attack my Guangmu City. ”

Zhang Songqi's face remained unchanged, and he said in a calm tone: "100,000 soldiers are coming to the city, how do you plan to defend, the strength of the three captains is only more than 10,000 people, plus the young and strong people in Guangmu City, it is only worth more than 40,000 people, do you think we can beat the Xiong Ben army?" ”

Wang Wei said seriously: "As long as we can take away the herd of the Qianghu people and block the Xiong Ben army under Guangmu City, we can have hope of victory." ”

Zhang Songqi was noncommittal, he had led soldiers, and on the battlefield paper, the situation was changing rapidly, and it was not a matter of people's subjective will that could be decided.

Zhang Songqi had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down, Zhong Ming will stay." ”

Everyone in the hall got up and bowed to Zhang Songqi and left the main hall, Zhang Gengxiao did not move, and Wang Rong did not move.

Zhang Songqi waved his hand to Zhang Gengxiao and said, "Xiao'er, you also go out, and I will talk to Zhong Ming alone." ”

Zhang Gengxiao stood up, bowed to Zhang Songqi and said, "Yes, father." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the main hall, and just a few steps into the courtyard, he was stopped by his sister Zhang Pu.

Zhang Gengxiao said helplessly: "What's wrong? Younger sister? ”

Zhang Pu asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are you out?" What about Wang Rong? ”

Zhang Gengxiao's face suddenly became weird, his eyes flashed with a hint of essence, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Wang Zhongming, I was left in the lobby by my father to lecture." ”

Zhang Pu said suspiciously: "This war is about to start, and my father doesn't let Wang Rong go back to prepare, why do you stay to lecture?" ”

Zhang Gengxiao smiled and said, "Maybe it's a good thing, why don't we go and hear about it?" ”

The two sneaked up on the outside of the main hall and eavesdropped. In the hall, Wang Rong drank water leisurely, waiting for Zhang Songqi to speak first. Zhang Songqi, on the other hand, was more stable, I don't know where he took out a book, sat there and read it leisurely. The two people in the hall were not in a hurry, but the two people outside the hall were in a hurry, because their legs were almost numb. Just when Zhang Gengxiao and Zhang Pu were waiting a little impatiently, a voice finally came from the hall.

Zhang Songqi put down the book, he really didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so calm, he had to put down the book, and said to Wang Rong: "Last time I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to thank you for taking care of my daughter." ”

Wang Rong hurriedly stood up, bowed and saluted: "Where, the main thing is that Doctor Zhang is taking care of us, she has worked very hard and very hard in order to be able to heal our soldiers. ”

Zhang Songqi listened to Wang Rong's words, nodded, and said, "As a member of the Tai Hospital, the little girl should do those things. Okay, let's not talk about her, tell me what you think about this battle, I don't believe you don't have your own ideas. ”

Wang Rong bowed and said, "Then please forgive the boy for being rude." ”

After speaking, he came to the sand table, pointed to the open space between Guangmu City and the big river with a wooden stick, and said: "Lord Hou, please see, this is the moat of Guangmu City, this is the big river, and there is a distance of nearly five miles between them. If the Bearded wanted to cross the river and set up camp, being close to the river was ideal, but not the best. ”

Zhang Songqi nodded and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Wang Rong continued: "Because the distance is too close, even if the Xiong Ben army can compare with our Central Plains army and build a camp, the soil on the other side of the river is soft, which is not conducive to establishing a camp. Nothing but easy access to water.

In the same way, the same is true here in Dongying, three miles outside Dongying is the big river, unless the people want to face Lin Duwei, they will not go down here.

Therefore, the only place where Xiong Benjun could go down is my western camp and the south of Guangmu City. The disadvantage of Guangmu City going south to the village is that it is difficult to get water, and the herd must also follow, which is very easy to be robbed and harassed by our Yongjun.

Therefore, Xiong Ben's army can only go down to the village within five to eight miles outside the camp in the west of our country, and the camp of 100,000 people will be pulled up from north to south by more than ten miles, and there are many cavalry in the maniae, and their horses and livestock occupy a wider area.

In this way, they need large areas of grassland to support their livestock, and my suggestion is to dig a pit around the outside of the city, which is the size of a horse's hoove, a small amount of work, and a large effect, so that the hooves of the horses moving at high speed will sink into the pit and break the legs of the horses. ”

Wang Rong did not suggest that Zhang Songqi set fire to the grassland, it was already snowing, and it was too late to burn the grassland. But digging a trap can still be done, and with some camouflage, it can completely make the Bearded Man lose some.
