Chapter 33 Layout

The sunset has arrived, according to the grassland army to attack the city in less than two hours, the whole Dunhuang seems to be covered with a layer of blood mist, especially the north city wall, the broken meat at the head of the city has almost piled up higher than people.

In the city, in the council hall, Zuo Chengtu's face was a little dignified, and the crazy attack of the grassland caught him a little off guard, this was the first day, and countless grassland warriors rushed to the city, if it weren't for the quick reaction of several generals in the army, the city would have changed hands.

Xu Liangsheng and Mo Bai sat together, looking up at the supreme commander of the Xiliang Army, with a rough face and dark skin, especially the big copper bell eyes, which looked particularly scary.

At this time, in the entire council hall, in addition to Mo Bai and Xu Liangsheng, there were also Mo Cangmin, the commander of Mo Bai's personal guard battalion, Cao Zaidong, the commander of the scouts, and He Baibai, Yun Ziyue and Li Mo under Zuo Chengtu.

The three of them are all commanders, but the division of labor is different, He Baibai is responsible for leading the troops, Yun Ziyue is responsible for planning, and Li Mo is the number one master among the 80,000 soldiers in the camp, except for Zuo Chengtu, and he is the head of the army.

Yun Ziyue was dressed in a green shirt, holding a folding fan in her hand, her face was a little white, and she even gave birth to a pair of red phoenix eyes, sitting next to Zuo Chengtu, the folding fan shook gently, and her chin was slightly raised, which was even heavier than Xu Liangsheng's scholarly anger.

"Although Zuo Chongtu is the commander of the army, he is really lacking in strategy, and he has always relied on the sergeant Yun Ziyue who was finally found, and it is normal for this person to be a little arrogant, and he slowly got used to it. "Mo said that Xu Liangsheng is that Mo Bai has already seen Yun Ziyue unhappy, but who made the family one of the few scholars in the Xiliang Army?

Moreover, although Mo Bai is the son of Xiliang, no matter his prestige or merit, he is 108,000 miles away from Zuo Chongtu, and Zuo Chongtu didn't say anything, so he naturally pinched his nose and recognized it.

"His Royal Highness, what's going on in Ganzhou?" Since coming to Dunhuang, this is the first time Zuo Chengtu has seen Mo Bai, so he naturally asked about the battle situation in Ganzhou first.

Xu Liangsheng also leaned forward, which was also what he wanted to hear.

Mo Bai was a little embarrassed, and said with a little hesitation: "In the battle of the pass, almost all of Lu Dajiang's 3,000 spear cavalry troops were wiped out, except for Lu Dajiang and the three major captains under his command, all the people who led the post were killed in battle, and the captain Bai Yuhu lost an arm, and Lu Dajiang lost all his skills. ”

Nodding, Zuo Chengtu's face did not change, and then asked, "What about after that?"

Subconsciously glanced at Mo Cangmin, Mo Bai continued: "General Lu killed the grassland Zuoxian King Ulan Sutu in front of the formation, and Gelena was stabbed to death by me, and now the soldiers and horses on the western front of the grassland are nowhere to be found. Ganzhou is now guarded by Lu Dajiang, counting the Ganzhou garrison and reinforcements, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the army on the western front of the grassland has no main general, so it should not be a problem to hold Ganzhou. ”

"Oh!" Zuo Chengtu's face did not change, turned his back, and continued to look at the map of Xiliang.

Xu Liangsheng was a little surprised, and there was a hint of admiration in his heart.

Yun Ziyue, who was sitting on the side, stood up and said leisurely: "We can release the news that the western army has retreated without a fight, and we will kill Bayar's morale!"

He Baibai and Li Mo glanced at each other and nodded, thinking that it was okay.

With a slap on his forehead, Xu Liangsheng said, "Then force Bayar to fight to the death?"

Pouting, Mo Cang Sable continued: "Kill morale? It's also a shame for you to come out......

"Forehead......" blinked his eyes curtly, and Yun Ziyue continued: "At this time, the grassland army is outside, and the other party's grain and grass will inevitably be hoarded in ......."

"Five days, at most five days, the prince will lead the army back, and the steppe army will inevitably retreat, it is not a long-term fierce battle, and it is meaningless to hit the opponent's grain route. Xu Liangsheng said.

Sitting back on the chair, Yun Ziyue looked at Xu Liangsheng with a slightly unkind face, clasped her hands into fists and said, "I don't know what I think of?"

Frowning slightly, Xu Liangsheng said in his heart that this person is really cautious.

Standing up, Xu Liangsheng said slowly: "First, the true news cannot be revealed, but the news must be released, claiming that Ganzhou has fallen into a bitter battle and will fall soon. First, although we are defending the city this time, it is better to say that we are waiting for reinforcements, and we release the news that Bayar will inevitably wait for the arrival of the Western Front army to besiege Dunhuang on both sides, which can delay him for at least two days; second, even if Bayar can't wait for the Western Front army and loses patience to attack the city, he will not attack desperately, and he will still have a breath to besiege. ”

Looking around, Xu Liangsheng saw that several people did not answer, and then said: "Second, the grain road is not important, but it can be harassed, we can exclude a few teams of scouts who are good at horses, and throw a few torches from time to time in the opponent's grain and grass land, which will inevitably affect part of the opponent's troops." Not only the food road, but at night, even some generals with light skills can be excluded, and torches can be thrown into the camp tent opposite, without asking for much to burn him, in short, they can't let them sleep peacefully!"

"Third, during the two days that Bayar waited for the troops of the Western Front to come to Dunhuang, we could even take the initiative to attack! At the fifth watch, when the grassland sergeants got up to cook food, we could lead the army to attack the local camp tents at the second day of the fifth watch, and retreat at the first blow, and the other side would inevitably worry that our side would attack again, and we could wait for work at ease. Before the end of the day, just after lunch, the opposing sergeant must be very tired, and we can organize another attack at this time, and in the same way, we will be repulsed with one blow. ”

"It's really poisonous...... the corners of Mo Cangmin's mouth twitched a little, and he said in his heart that this scholar is a snake and scorpion, and if he continues like this, he will attack the city in a few days, and the grassland sergeant may even have trouble lifting a knife.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Liangsheng said again: "Fourth, Xiao Sheng thinks that the 80,000 soldiers of the Pillow Ge Battalion do not have to be used to defend the city, the city wall is so wide, leaving too many soldiers is useless, the east city wall is just a feint, leaving 10,000 soldiers, and the west and south do not have to worry, the other party will never have extra soldiers and horses to detour to attack the city, and the north city wall can leave 30,000 soldiers ......"

Except for Zuo Chongtu, who was still looking at the map, everyone leaned forward, and even Yun Ziyue listened unconsciously, everyone knew that the drama was coming! The previous strategy of delaying the army was indeed effective, but it was not enough to lay the foundation for victory, and the strategy after that was the real killer weapon!

"The remaining 40,000 soldiers can attack the local camp tent when the other party is attacking the city, of course, it is not a rush over, in the recent night, these 40,000 soldiers can set off, be sure to form a siege of the grassland tent before the other party attacks the city, as long as the other party attacks the city, he will kill the past, the same way, one blow will retreat, must not fall in love, the other party is cavalry, we can take advantage of the familiar terrain, after the fight, we will run into the jungle where the cavalry is difficult to pursue, or enter the valley mouth that is easy to ambush, Bayar is the gods are helpless!"

After Xu Liangsheng finished speaking, Li Mo was the first to call: "Okay!"

Yun Ziyue on the side glared at him fiercely, Li Mo immediately sat back stupidly, looked thoughtfully at Xu Liangsheng, who wanted to speak and stopped, and asked in a trembling voice, "And?"

Shaking his head, Xu Liangsheng looked at Mo Cangsheng and said, "Fourth...... I don't know where Lord Sima Yibing is at this time?"

"Fifteen miles west of the city. Mo Cang Sable said.

"Let Master Sima not come back, it's not easy for the grassland to gather these soldiers and horses in three days, at this time, the tribe to the south may not even have a young man, don't go at this time, when will you stay?" Xu Liangsheng hooked the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a little cruel.

Yun Ziyue stood up, shook it to the end, and said respectfully: "I've been taught!"

Xu Liangsheng turned over and replied, "Xiaosheng doesn't dare to be." ”

Sitting back on the chair, Mo Bai patted Xu Liangsheng's shoulder, his eyes showed approval, and he said in a low voice: "Zizi, this son has really picked up a treasure, and I don't want to be a groom for you." As soon as he appeared, he folded the arrogant Yun Ziyue to his waist, amazing!"

Xu Liangsheng poked his head and said a few words in Mo Bai's ear, and Mo Bai immediately became excited and said, "This ...... Isn't that a little too vicious?"

Leaning back in the chair, Xu Liangsheng said leisurely: "As the saying goes, a small amount is not a gentleman, and a non-toxic husband is not a husband!"

"Sure enough, the powerless scholar is the one who can't be offended!" Mo Bai shook his head and smiled dumbly.

The plan had been decided, and everyone withdrew from the meeting hall.

Only Zuo Chengtu was still looking at the map in front of him.

If you look closely, Zuo Chongtu's shoulders tremble slightly.

At this point, he was already in tears.
