When Wang Rong heard Li Sujie's words, he nodded with satisfaction, and the state army had been fighting for many days, and the battle losses had reached almost 10,000, including the dead and the seriously wounded.

Qin Ke, the sixteenth prince and general of the expedition to the north, sent a full 20,000 soldiers with basic training from the rear line, including 5,000 cavalry.

Wang Rong took this opportunity to formally establish the Wolf Cavalry Brigade of Bingzhou, with 10,000 posts, the brigade commander and brigade Sima were served by Wuluo and Chang Wo respectively, and the most elite first regiment of the wolf cavalry brigade would be served by Chu Luxu. The Wolf Cavalry Brigade was directly under the command of Wang Rong, Li Sujie and Zhang Genghuang, the highest three-man regiment of the Bingzhou Army.

The remaining 15,000 men were divided equally among the three divisions in a portion of 5,000. Now that the training of the divisions has been fruitful, the problems that Wang Rong had been worried about have been solved.

Wang Rong's gaze shifted from the map on the wall to the sand table in the hall, staring silently.

Li Sujie and Zhang Gengxiao glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of curiosity in each other's eyes, and both of them found Wang Rong's strangeness. The two looked at Wang Rong as if they were thinking about something, so they both sat on the seats next to them, silent.

Wang Rong walked around the sand table for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head, looked at Li Sujie and Zhang Genghuang with straight eyes, and said: "Li Mubai, the dog thief, will not retreat, we will beat them back, how about it?" ”

Zhang Gengwei was not proficient in military affairs, and he did not understand what Wang Rong meant. Li Sujie was slightly embarrassed, he had been with Wang Rong for a long time, and he always understood that although Wang Rong's use of troops seemed to be dangerous, it was actually based on stability. Now he didn't understand Wang Rong's words, and his expression was full of doubt.

Wang Rong pointed to the position where the Ji army was camped on the sand table and said: "There are now 50,000 people in our city, and the wolf cavalry brigade is strong. Although the soldiers of the three divisions now have only 36,000 men, after their combat strength is restored, they will be able to fight with the Hebei army in the field. And Li Mubai's army is only 10,000 more than us, so what are we doing in Yanmen Pass? ”

Li Sujie and Zhang Genghuang suddenly realized, but all the preparations made by the generals at the division and brigade level in Yanmen Pass so far

It's all for the purpose of defending the city, and no one has ever thought of going out of the city to fight.

Zhang Gengxiao didn't answer Wang Rong's words, while Li Sujie frowned and said with some concern: "Zhong Ming, although there are 20,000 soldiers in this Yanmen Pass, whether it is a wolf cavalry or the foot soldiers of each division, they are all new soldiers, they have not fought as many battles as veterans, and they have never experienced a bloody battle between life and death. I was thinking that in the offensive and defensive battles, they would slowly get used to the rhythm of the war. Also, the soldiers of the first brigade are still a little useless, and it is still too dangerous for them to resist the impact of the cavalry of the Ji army. And the recruits of the divisions are in such a situation, I think that they can only be put in the fortress to defend the city. And there are still many wounded soldiers in the previous divisions who have not fully recovered, and the soldiers we can use in our hands can only be counted as less than 30,000 veterans left after bloody battles by the wolf cavalry and various divisions. ”

Wang Rong listened and shook his head, he did not agree with Li Sujie's statement, but said categorically: "You have to believe the old wolf and old dog, these old fritters, and these recruits are not farmers who have just put down their hoes, they must not find the feeling of the battlefield from small fights, a war drum is enough to ignite their blood." ”

Li Sujie couldn't argue with Wang Rong, so he could only find another topic and said: "What kind of effect do you want to get when you lead the troops out of the customs?" You don't want to rely on these 50,000 new and old troops to eat all the Ji troops on the opposite side, right? The combat power of these Ji soldiers has increased over time, and you can also see that they are definitely not wooden stakes standing there waiting to be cut down, they can be regarded as the elite who crawled out of the pile of dead people. ”

Li Sujie's question is also Zhang Gengxiao's question, Zhang Gengxiao nodded, agreeing with Li Sujie's words very much. The two looked at Wang Rong together, hoping that Wang Rong would be able to explain their doubts.

Wang Rong did not answer Li Sujie's question, but continued to stare at the sand table silently and did not answer. Li Sujie and Zhang Gengxiao continued to sit on the side and drink tea, they waited for Wang Rong's answer.

Suddenly, Li Sujie stopped picking up the tea bowl, had an idea, and said, "Zhong Ming, I have observed carefully

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The situation of the Ji army camp, in order to facilitate the siege equipment to be close to the city wall, so the storage point of the siege equipment is in the middle and front of the camp, if we attack with all our strength, we should be able to destroy all the siege equipment of the Ji army. I think this kind of result is far more practical than eating the entire army of the Ji State, at least it can reduce the pressure of defending the city in the future. ”

After Li Sujie finished speaking, he looked at Wang Rong with some pride, he felt that his idea was good, if he only targeted the siege equipment of the Ji army, then the pressure would be much less, and a large-scale field battle could be completely avoided, and if it was arranged properly, it could also minimize the casualties of the soldiers and soldiers of Bingzhou.

Wang Rong listened to Li Sujie's words, and did not answer, but said with a serious face: "No, the goal of destroying the siege equipment is too small, and if I go out of the city with the state army, I should go and kill Li Mubai, a dog thief!" ”

As soon as Wang Rong's words came out, it could be said that it was earth-shattering, and Zhang Gengxiao had just drunk the tea in his mouth and was squirted out with a "poof". And Li Sujie was directly suppressed, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak.

Wang Rong raised the wooden pole on the side, pointed to the situation of the Yongji army on the sand table, and continued: "The battle on this side of Yanmen Pass has lasted a little too long, and the state army and the Ji army have been facing each other for a long time. If the combat strength of the Bingzhou army wants to be completely restored, it is by no means something that can be done in one or two months, since this is the case, then we need to end the battle at Yanmen Pass as soon as possible, otherwise if Ji Guozhen sends reinforcements to Li Mubai, then the situation we are facing will be completely different, and it will only be more dangerous. ”

Li Sujie still disagreed with Wang Rong's adventure, and he said bluntly: "But, even if you kill Li Mubai, will you definitely be able to retreat from the enemy?" Not necessarily, the supreme commander of the Ji army is the puppet emperor of the Ji State, not Li Mubai. ”

After Li Sujie and Zhang Gengxiao stabilized their minds, they finally walked out of the shock.

Wang Rong patiently explained: "Li Mubai, as a famous general of the Ji State and the commander of the Ji army, once he dies, the Ji army outside the Yanmen Pass will be in chaos and can no longer continue to besiege the city. I estimate that they will retreat to Gujishan to join the Ji army over there and come under the command of Lou Mo. ”
