Since ancient times, war has been like a chessboard, and if you can always think one step more than others, then you will definitely win in the end.

Li Yi is now sighing that the person who makes the strategic plan of the grassland tribe is definitely a master.

"Before, the North Division and the Ministry of War always thought that the breakthrough point of the grassland tribe was Shanggu County, and later we found out that their breakthrough point was Yuyang County after careful analysis, but now I realized that we were all tricked."

Li Yi told everyone his speculation.

"It's impossible, it's a fact that the grassland tribe mobilized so many troops to attack Yuyang County on a rainy day last night, why did Li Gongzi say that we were tricked?"

Helian Dong thought of the mountain of corpses outside Yuyang City, and he didn't believe that the breakthrough point of the grassland tribe was not Yuyang County.

Even Wan Qi Haiyin and Yu Zhenlei, who were tied up, thought that Li Yi's statement was untrue.

"We have always had a misconception that the first thing to be attacked must be the breakthrough point, but who stipulates this?"

Li Yi said unhurriedly.

His words stopped everyone, and indeed no one said that the first city pass to be attacked was the breakthrough point.

"But Childe, the grassland tribe invested fifty or sixty thousand people before and after attacking Yuyang County, and now it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of corpses piled up under Yuyang City, if it is not a breakthrough point, wouldn't it be too much of a loss."

An Su also thought that Li Yi's speculation was a bit unreasonable, after all, the grassland tribe's investment in attacking Yuyang City this time was too great.

"The losses of the grassland tribe do seem to be a bit large, but have you noticed that there are only twenty or thirty thousand grassland tribe soldiers outside Yuyang City at this time, and according to the siege loss of 10,000, they have at least more than 10,000 people who have disappeared."

Li Yi used his finger to draw several circles on the ground to represent the distribution of forces of the grassland tribes.

"It's not 10,000, it should be 20,000, and the people who attacked your Yuyang County this time are 60,000, and they are all the most powerful cavalry of all races."

Wan Qi Haiyin, who had been listening, finally opened his mouth.

He felt that Muhua Li Falcon was a little strange last night, first of all, he didn't seem to care much about Hu Lvfu's attack on Yuyang County.

It was just that Mu Hua Li Falcon didn't go to the front line to command, and he didn't even allow himself and Murong Qinyou to go to the front line.

It was as if he didn't care at all whether Yuyang County could be captured or not.

And he also transferred all the return cannons and bed crossbows to Upper Valley County, and arranged for the most elite cavalry to forcibly attack the city on rainy days.

Wan Qi Haiyin has always felt that although this plan seems to be perfect, the defenders of Yuyang County have completely lost their long-range means of attack, but they themselves have also lost their long-range means of attack.

And the loss of using cavalry to storm Yuyang County to break the city can be imagined, but even if they have mentioned the risks and losses to Muhua Li Falcon, Mu Hua Li Falcon still goes his own way.

At the beginning, he and Murong Qinyou both thought that this was Mu Hua Li Falcon's young and vigorous spirit, and he didn't know how to command indiscriminately.

But now that he heard Li Yi say this, he remembered what Mu Hua Li Falcon said before going to bed last night.

"Don't worry too much, it's not early now, I'll sleep for a while, and we'll move tomorrow morning."

Wan Qi Haiyin and Murong Qinyou have always thought that the place that Muhua Li Falcon said was to go to Yuyang County.

But that doesn't seem to be the case now.

"20,000 people, and they are all cavalry, it seems that it will be difficult for Shanggu County to hold it now."

Li Yi suddenly sighed and said.

"Could it be that they have secretly evacuated to the county seat of Upper Valley?"

Helian Dong was a little unconvinced, you must know that at this time, the Dayu side was stationed in Shanggu County with a large number of defenders, even if there were 20,000 cavalry troops added there, it would be a drop in the bucket for the siege.

As a former Tugu tribesman, he knew that the role of cavalry in siege warfare was far less than that in other battles.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Helian Dong's words, and even Wan Qi Haiyin and Yu Zhenlei nodded slightly.

"But what if the cavalry of 20,000 men attacked the defenders of Shanggu County from the direction of Dayu? Do you think they can succeed if they are caught between the inside and the outside? ”

Li Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Wan Qi Haiyin was suddenly stunned, Helian Dong was also stunned, and all the people at the scene were stunned.

Attacking Shanggu County from inside and outside, let alone 20,000 cavalry raiding from the rear, even if only 10,000 cavalry sneak attack Shanggu County from the rear, I am afraid that it will be completely captured.

After all, being attacked from the rear by cavalry is much more powerful than being charged from the front by cavalry.

"Childe, do you mean that the 20,000 cavalry that disappeared have entered Yuyang City?"

An Su heard that a fine layer of sweat was already oozing from his head.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think we didn't see Vice General Song in Yuyang City, and my senior brother and they were all gone?"

"They're going to besiege the 20,000-strong cavalry!"

Everyone finally understood why they didn't see their comrades and generals in Yuyang City.

"But just now we clearly saw that the inner gate of Yuyang County City was not broken, and they are still resisting the attack of the grassland tribe for Yuyang County Town!"

A soldier finally couldn't help but speak, although he felt that Li Yi's reasoning was very reasonable, but there were still some unreasonable things in it.

"At first, I also felt like you that it made some sense here, Yuyang County was obviously not conquered by the grassland tribe, so how did the 20,000 cavalry enter the city?"

Wan Qi Haiyin was also fascinated by listening like everyone else at this time, and he squatted down to listen carefully by relying on Zhan.

"But later, I suddenly heard the brother say: You want us to go in before you can enter, and I suddenly realized."

Li Yi pointed to the somewhat helpless soldier just now and said.

Everyone focused their eyes on him, and he was a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze, so he had to scratch his head in embarrassment.

"His words made me suddenly understand that the reason why these 20,000 grassland tribes were able to enter the city was deliberately let in by the defenders of Yuyang County."

"Impossible, how is this possible!"

As soon as Li Yi's words were finished, everyone was in an uproar, they didn't believe that the defenders of Yuyang County would do such a ridiculous thing.

Putting the enemy into the city is something that an idiot would come up with.

"I said that you kid is not crazy, our grassland tribe has attacked your Dayu border counties for so many years, and we have never encountered a situation where the Dayu defenders opened the city gate and let us in, even if we coerced and lured those officers who defended the city, they never succeeded."

Wan Qi Haiyin said disdainfully, he originally thought that this Li Yi should still have some brains, but judging from what he said just now, he was completely a straw bag.

said that the straw bag was regarded as lifting him, Wan Qi Haiyin even doubted whether Li Yi was a fool, otherwise why would he say such nonsense.

"It would have been impossible in the past, but in the situation last night, you would have done the same as the general defending the city."

Li Yi said firmly.

"Why?"

Wan Qi Haiyin squinted his eyes at Li Yi who was confident and determined.

"Wan Qi Khan, think about it, as a general defending the city, now everyone can't use long-range attacks, the other side of the 60,000 people keep attacking the city, once the city is broken, you will face 60,000 troops, in this case, how will you keep the city?"

"This ·····"

Wan Qi Haiyin was suddenly stopped by Li Yi.

Putting himself in the position of the general of the city defense of Yuyang County, he suddenly found that he really had no chance of winning this battle of defending the city.

First of all, no one can use long-range attacks, which means that both sides can only use melee attacks.

Although the head of the city can arrange a large number of soldiers to defend, it will not allow the opponent to break through from the head of the city.

However, although there is an urn city on this side of the city gate that can be defended, the urn city has a limited place, and even if soldiers are arranged to defend it, it will definitely be completely consumed by the 60,000 army in the end.

Once the soldiers in the urn city are consumed, a large number of grassland soldiers and siege engines can swagger into the urn city.

In this way, it is a matter of time before the city gate is broken, after all, the defenders on the city can only stare dryly without the means of long-range attack.

So in the end, Wan Qi Haiyin thought of a way to take the initiative to open the inner city gate after consuming the defenders in the urn city, let some grassland tribe soldiers enter the city, and then close the city gate, concentrate the power in the city, and consume this part of the soldiers who fell into the city first.

In this way, even if the soldiers of the steppe tribe broke through the city gate again in the future, their numbers would not pose much of a threat.

Thinking of this, Wan Qi Haiyin's face became extremely ugly, and even Li Yi faintly saw that there was still a trace of anger on his face.

This anger was not because Li Yi's words made him angry, but because at this time he thought of the arrangements made by Muhua Li Falcon to the various clans during this attack.

Most of their Xianbei cavalry was ordered to be converted into infantry, but instead the Wuhu and Gaoche tribes brought in the most elite cavalry.

At that time, Wan Qi Haiyin didn't care very much, he thought that when the time came, it would definitely be the greatest credit for these infantry, but now that he thinks about it, Mu Hua Li Falcon intends to give the credit to the Wuhu clan and the Gaoche clan.

And his Xianbei clan and Tugu clan were used as cannon fodder, no wonder Muhua Li Falcon did not allow him and Murong Qinyou to go to the front line.

If both of them were on the front line, they would have found out, and when the time came, they would have refused to carry out the order in order to protect their people.

Although the other people didn't think as much as Wan Qi Haiyin thought, they all figured out the reason.

They finally understood why the defenders of Yuyang County would take the initiative to let the 20,000 cavalry of the grassland into the city.

"In fact, it was originally a good move to let some people into the city and then concentrate on destroying them, but it's a pity that they didn't know that this was originally a trap set by the grassland tribe."

Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile, he thought that if he hadn't gone to raid the grassland tribe's camp last night, he was afraid that he himself would agree with this plan.

"Yes, it's a pity that your Dayu defenders didn't expect that what they thought was the infantry besieging the city was put in, but in the end it became the most elite cavalry on the grassland."

When Wan Qi Haiyin said this, there was no pride and pride in his tone, but he was full of depression and regret.

Li Yi, An Su and Helian Dong all noticed that something was wrong with his tone.

"As a Xianbei Khan, why don't I feel the slightest joy when I see the plan you have made so successful?"

An Su asked puzzled.

"What is there to be happy about, our Xianbei and Tugu are being used as cannon fodder for meritorious service, how can I be happy!"

Wan Qi Haiyin lowered his head lonely.

"Didn't you and Murong Qinyou's people make this plan?"

Li Yi couldn't help frowning, he originally thought that this plan was formulated by Wan Qi Haiyin, at least he should be one of the planners.

It was clear from his words that he didn't seem to know.

"If it was my plan, how could I send my clan's sons to be cannon fodder?"

Wan Qi Haiyin said with some anger.

"It's not your plan, could it be that the commanders of this attack are the shamans of the Wolf Court?"

As a former member of the Tugu tribe, Helian Dong knew very well that the only one who could make war plans without concealing the khans of the eight major tribes could only be the shaman of the wolf court.

"It's a shaman from the Wolf Court, but this time there is only one shaman, and he is a very young shaman."

Wan Qi Haiyin said that when he was young, he couldn't help but look at Li Yi, who was also young.

He suddenly felt as if he was getting old, already old and a little incompetent.

He felt like a fool teased by everyone in front of Mu Huali Falcon and Li Yi.

"That shaman was in the camp last night?"

Helian Dong's mood fluctuated a little.

"That's right, he was indeed in the camp last night, but he was lucky not to be in the Chinese army tent last night."

Wan Qi Haiyin felt a little bitter in his throat when he said this.

Last night, the three of them were all in the big tent of the Chinese army, but Na Muhua Li Falcon actually returned to his felt tent because of sleepiness and escaped.

He and Murong Qinyou were killed by one person, and it was really unlucky that the other was arrested.

"Could it be that the shaman really has the protection of the wolf king god?"

Wan Qi Haiyin couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart.

"It's a fucking pity, if it weren't for this old boy, maybe we'd slaughter that shaman."

Ansu didn't have to smash his fist on the ground in frustration.

However, Li Yi did not have any feelings of chagrin, in his opinion, even if they captured that shaman, they might not be able to stop the attack of the grassland tribe.

It stands to reason that this Muhua Li Falcon has already arranged the attack plan on the side of Yuyang County, and he must have also informed the grassland tribe on the side of Shanggu County of the next attack plan.

Therefore, even if he is killed, it will be difficult to resist the Shanggu County Town, I am afraid that at this time, the defenders of the Shanggu County Town have been raided by the 20,000 cavalry of the grassland tribe.

However, Li Yi didn't know what the grassland tribe was going to do next, otherwise he would definitely be more annoyed than An Su for not killing Mu Hua Li Falcon, the shaman of the wolf court.

"Since the grassland tribe may have been attacking Shanggu County at this time, we no longer have to worry about whether we can enter the city."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth.

At this time, the five hundred of them could only wait for the army of the grassland tribe to break through the gate of Shanggu County before they could enter the city of Shanggu County.

In fact, Li Yi did not think of using these five hundred cavalry to attack the rear of the grassland tribe, so as to contain the attack of the grassland tribe.

But these 500 men faced an army of tens of thousands, and if they took the initiative to attack, the result he waited for them would inevitably be the total annihilation.
