Chapter 53: Crazy Conspiracy

The heroes see the same thing, Jing Zizheng and Song Shilong have the same opinion, but An Su's opinion is the same as Wan Qi Haiyin's.

Although the grassland army was divided into three parts, and the other two armies were 60,000 people, the Xianbei Khan Wan Qi Haiyin, who was the strongest tribe, was left here in Yuyang County.

And the Wuhu Khan Baye Gule, the Great Khan of the Wei Chamber, Basude, and the Gaoche King Hu Lufu led an army of 60,000 to attack Yunzhong County.

The Khan Yu Jiu Lu Ying of the Rouran Clan, Ashina Duqing of the Chuyue Clan, and Yelu Xingyun, the King of the Qita Clan, raided Shanggu County with 60,000 people.

Along with the Xianbei Khan Wan Qi Haiyin, Murong Qinyou, the king of Tugu, and the young shaman, Muhua Li Falcon, the mastermind of this military operation.

The name of the Muhua Li Falcon sounds a lot like the name of the Wei family.

But in fact, none of the shamans in the Wolf Court have their own people, and they are not allowed to know which tribe they are born in.

Each shaman in the Wolf Court will leave his own prophecy when he dies, and let the other shamans go to the land of his prophecy to find their own reincarnation.

And each shaman in the Wolf Court has a name left by the previous shaman.

In other words, the name Muhua Li Falcon has been inherited for many generations, and I don't know how many years it has been used.

Perhaps the first shaman, named Muhua Li Falcon, lived even older than the age of the Wei tribe.

At this time, Mu Hua Li Falcon was sitting in a small Chinese military tent, leisurely drinking mare's milk wine.

"Lord Shaman, do you intend to use Ueya County as a breakthrough point for this attack?"

Wan Qi Haiyin guessed when he saw that Muhua Li Falcon had not been very anxious about the actions of Yuyang County, and only 30,000 people were left.

"Do you think so too, King Tugu?"

Murong Qinyou, the King of the Earth Valley, was a burly black fat man, with a fat belly and dark skin that made him look a little dull.

But who can sit in the position of the king of a clan can be a simple guy.

"Lord Shaman, you must be planning to use Yuyang County as a breakthrough to leave the strongest Xianbei clan behind."

Murong Qinyou raised the silver cup in his hand and toasted Mu Hua Li Falcon.

"You are really a guy who is different from the outside, and your wisdom is no worse than that of Wild Gule, that's why I kept you."

Mu Huali Falcon nodded and took a sip.

Seeing Murong Qinyou being praised so much by Muhua Li Falcon, this made Wan Qi Haiyin feel a little unhappy in his heart.

You must know that the Tugu tribe was originally separated from their Xianbei tribe.

Hundreds of years ago, the Murong clan of the Tugu royal clan was the general of the Xianbei clan, and after they grasped part of the power, they were unwilling to be driven by the Xianbei Khan at that time, so they defected with a part of the Xianbei tribe before forming the current Tugu tribe.

It's just that after hundreds of years of development, the inconspicuous Tugu tribe has grown to the point of becoming one of the eight major tribes of the grassland.

A hundred years ago, the two clans fought many wars in order to annex each other, but the result was that both sides lost, and finally the two clans formed a tacit agreement not to fight each other.

Although the Xianbei tribe is very unwilling to consider this a shame, they can only humiliately admit the existence of the Tugu tribe.

"King Tugu, then tell me how I will attack this Yuyang County?"

Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at Murong Qinyou playfully.

Seeing the smile on Mu Hua Li Falcon's face, Murong Qinyou immediately got up and knelt on one knee.

"My lord's forgiveness, your plan is not something that Xiao Wang can guess at will, I am just a falcon and a fierce dog in your hands, and I will only faithfully carry out your plan."

Wan Qi Haiyin looked at Murong Qinyou and frowned unconsciously, he despised this Tugu King extremely much in his heart.

In his opinion, although the Wolf Dwelling Court is a sacred place worshiped by the grassland tribes.

But as a tribal king, such servility is really detrimental to the majesty of the king.

As a promising clan leader, you can follow the orders of the Wolf Court, but you don't have to sacrifice your dignity.

The smile on Mu Huali Falcon's face became even stronger.

"Don't be so nervous, that's what I told you to say."

On the wall of the Yuyang Great Wall

"I think that the point of attack of the steppe tribe this time is Ru'anda······ What Ansu said was my Yuyang County, but the other party's plan may not be so simple. ”

Li Yi almost said the king's word for king.

"Oh!? Xiao Yi, tell me what you think. ”

Jing Ziyi really wanted to hear the thoughts of this young man who had always been exaggerated by his younger brother.

"The book of soldiers says that the soldiers, the tricks, the real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, they may use the method of alternating the virtual and the real to mobilize the reinforcements of the three counties of Dayu non-stop."

Everyone frowned when they heard Li Yi's thoughts.

"Xiao Yi, do you mean that this time they will keep moving troops to make my reinforcements exhausted?"

"yes, that's what I think."

Li Yi nodded in agreement.

"But while this can exhaust my reinforcements, they will also be exhausted!"

Qi Chao first expressed his disagreement.

In his opinion, although the cavalry of the steppe tribe has the advantage of war horses, the war horses that attack them for a long distance will also be tired.

Once their horses were exhausted, they would not have enough horsepower to plunder the hinterland of Dayu even if they broke through the defenses.

"Yes, the biggest advantage of the junior steppe tribe is the speed of the cavalry, once they lose their speed, even if they loot more supplies, they may not be able to return to the grassland safely."

Keiko was thinking about it for a while, and then expressed the same opinion.

And Jing Ziyi didn't say anything, he just looked at Li Yi and wanted to hear what this young man would say next.

"That's why I said that their breakthrough point this time is Yuyang County."

Li Yi said unhurriedly.

"Everyone thinks that their horses will be exhausted after frequent long-distance runs, but this is due to your habitual thinking."

"You kid, don't sell it, just say it."

Qi Ning was really very curious by what Li Yi said.

"Everyone thinks that the cavalry running back and forth will damage the horsepower of the war horse, but if I only send a third of the cavalry to run when I am running, and when I reach the next county, I immediately change to the war horse of this county and continue to run, so that the tired war horse can rest, does this mean that they only sacrifice one-third of their horsepower!"

Li Yi spoke his mind.

His thought sent everyone into deep thought.

In their original idea, the war horse and the cavalry were one, and they did not think of making the war horse and the cavalry separate at all.

"If that's the case, as long as the number of runs is controlled to a certain amount, they will maintain a considerable part of their combat power."

Jingzi was the first to figure out the truth of this.

"Yes, in such a situation, as long as they keep the number of galloping no more than one-third, one-third of the horses will always maintain their physical strength. In this way, as long as they frequently mobilized the reinforcements of Shanggu County and Yunzhong County, in the end, as long as they dragged down the reinforcements of Shanggu County, they would have achieved their initial goal. ”

Li Yi continued.

"When the time comes, when the people of Shanggu County are sleepy and short of horses, they will transfer one-third of the cavalry of Yunzhong County to Shanggu County, one-third of the energetic cavalry to our Yuyang County, and then transfer one-third of the cavalry of Shanggu County who have always maintained their physical strength, so that the cavalry here in our Yuyang County is enough to have 70,000 people."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

Compared with Ansu's previous speculation, Li Yi's speculation made people feel chills down their spines.

If it is really as Li Yi said, it is impossible to stop the strength of Yuyang County in the face of 70,000 energetic grassland cavalry.

And once the grassland tribe breaks through the defensive line, the nearest Shanggu County will be in a dilemma, because if he supports Yuyang County, they themselves will face 60,000 grassland cavalry.

And if he doesn't rush to the aid of Yuyang County, the grassland tribe will attack Shanggu County from behind, and it will definitely be a dead end when the enemy is attacked on his back.

When they attacked Shanggu County, the neighboring Yunzhong County did not dare to support Shanggu County too much, because they also had 20,000 grassland cavalry outside the city.

It's like a domino, as long as one falls, it triggers a chain reaction that causes the three counties to lose one after another.

This is much crazier than in previous years, when you took a county and then drove straight into it and left after a long raid.

If the three counties were really breached, the steppe cavalry would be able to gather together and march towards the imperial capital, which had happened in previous dynasties.

After all, plundering the barren northern states was far less cost-effective than plundering the richest imperial capitals.

Maybe they can also loot the royal ladies of the Dayu Dynasty.

Thinking of this, fine beads of sweat oozed from everyone's foreheads.

"The barbarians of the steppe can't think of such a plan!"

Qi Ning looked at Li Yi with deep fear, she could only hope that no one in the grassland tribe would be able to get along with such a plan.

"That is, even the grassland tribe will definitely not be able to think of such a plan."

Jing Ziyi, a man as majestic as Guan Sheng, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and comforted himself.

He actually made sense to say this, after all, all the attacks of the steppe tribes in the past had not used such a plan.

And Jing Zizheng and An Su were all silent.

Both of them felt that Li Yi's plan was very perfect, and the benefits after success were too great, as long as someone in the grassland tribe could think of this plan, it would definitely be implemented.

As for whether anyone thought of this plan, they are not sure, but it is very possible in the current situation.

The reason for this is that the attack of the entire steppe tribe this year has been delayed for more than a month.

Before, Jing Zizheng still couldn't understand what the grassland tribe was procrastinating for.

But now that Li Yi made a guess, he immediately understood the reason for the steppe tribe's delay in attacking.

This is simply the time when the grassland tribe is preparing reinforcements for the Dayu Dynasty.

The key to the success or failure of this plan was whether they could drag down the reinforcements sent by the Dayu Dynasty to Shanggu County and Yuyang County.

According to the urine nature of these reinforcements in previous years, they usually arrived slowly two or three days after the steppe tribe began to launch a formal attack.

If this plan is launched at the usual time this year, it is likely that some reinforcements will not be dragged down according to the plan.

Therefore, they only delayed the attack this year, in order to squeeze out more reinforcements from the Dayu Dynasty, and at the same time gather all the reinforcements from all over the country to implement the plan.

There are two advantages to this, one is that most of the reinforcements will save a lot of effort when attacking the counties after they are dragged down, and more importantly, after they break through the counties of the border fortress, they will have much less resistance when they break into the interior of the Dayu Dynasty.

In this way, their grassland tribe could do whatever they wanted in the hinterland of the Dayu Dynasty.

"Big brother, we can't hope that all the grassland tribes are intellectually inferior and foolish, he may indeed be barbaric and ferocious, or he may drink blood, but no matter where there will be no shortage of smart people, the grassland tribes that my junior brother can think of will definitely be thought of."

Keiko said solemnly.

His words were like a basin of cold water, and the last flame of hope in everyone's hearts was extinguished at once.

Yes, there has never been a shortage of smart people in this world, nor is there a shortage of crazy people, and there will always be one or two of the so many people in the grassland tribe that Li Yi can think of.

"Besides, if according to the junior brother's guess, the grassland tribe delayed the attack for a month, it would make sense."

Keiko then recounted his conjecture that the steppe tribe had delayed its attack for a month.

When he finished speaking, the people who had been silent became even more silent.

They suddenly felt that the wind in the north of the country was much colder than it had been earlier.

"I have to go to Long Shuai and Vice General Song to discuss this matter."

After thinking for a moment, Jing Ziyi immediately got up and trotted all the way to the city wall.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Li Yi was very worried that he would fall down the stairs of the city wall.

"Senior brother, if the grassland tribe really adopted this plan as you said, how can we resist?"

When Keiko was asking this question, she suddenly realized that the books of sages she had read for so many years seemed to be completely useless.

That feeling of powerlessness and helplessness made him very uncomfortable.

"If I were to command this battle, I would learn from the methods of Emperor Shengwu back then, and organize a large army out of the three counties to directly identify a desperate attack of the grassland tribe, so that the initiative is in our hands."

Li Yi gave his own solution.

"However, if the other two steppe cavalry don't come to the rescue, won't the result be the same?"

Qi Ning felt that Li Yi's solution was still not good.

"Concentrate all your forces to defend a county, and then wait for the victory of the army that has been attacked, and then flank this army inside and out."

Li Yi said indifferently in his tone.

"But in this way, there is still a grassland cavalry that will easily enter the hinterland of my Dayu!"

Qi Chao blurted out without even thinking about it.

"In this way, my Dayu Dynasty annihilated two steppe cavalry in a row, at least 90,000 people, and the army of 150,000 people was wiped out by 90,000 people, what do you think will happen?"

Li Yi said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that the grassland will not have the ability to invade me for more than ten years."

An Su gave the answer, he understood that Li Yi's solution was definitely a miracle, but it was impossible to be executed.

Because no lord will be able to bear the charge of abandoning the city and letting the grassland tribes wreak havoc on the interior of Dayu, unless it is the emperor himself.
