In my opinion, the night before yesterday, if the land thieves were ruthless and 5,000 troops were killed in one fell swoop, Xiliu would be extremely embarrassed even if it was not completely overturned, and at least it would not be a logistics place for a large army. Ma Qiong asked his soldiers.

This is where he is puzzled and uneasy.

At that time, although Ma Qiong had 2,500 troops, plus more than 1,000 in the city, a total of nearly 4,000, although it was a large force, but the army of the commander was 5,000, taking advantage of the chaos in the city, he entered the small city in one fell swoop, and the success rate was extremely high.

The French Shuaijun is also a unit that has experienced a lot of battles, and it will definitely not be frightened by Ma Qiong's momentary momentum.

If you retreat calmly, you will have a greater plan.

Vice General Peng coughed lightly and analyzed: "As far as I know, although the land thief has fought a lot of tough battles, he seems to be arrogant and reckless, but in fact he is a very chicken thief, he likes to seize the opportunity to attack the weak with the strong, and he doesn't like to grasp the battle that is not high or loses both, unless he has to, this can be seen from his performance when Feng Yi was a lieutenant and how he tricked to take Fangling City......

Ma Qiong nodded slightly, and then asked, "You mean, the land thieves will definitely not fight us in a large-scale frontal battle?"

The deputy general snorted and said, "The character of the Lu thief is on the one hand, and in addition, there must be collusion between him and Zhao Xu Erkou. As for the specific tactics of their parties, it is not difficult to guess that Zhao Xu Erkou in the front will increase the intensity of the counterattack, and the land thieves will make trouble in the rear, which is a troublemaker, so naturally they will not easily fight with us. ”

Ma Qiong said: "Then what do you think the land thief will do next and continue to fight the west?"

Vice General Peng raised two fingers: "The subordinates guess that the land thief may have two actions next." ”

The people listened attentively.

The adjutant continued: "First, he will regard Xiliu as the main battlefield, Xiliu is the front, and a little more past is the big battlefield of Lord Shi and Zhao Xu Erkou, if something happens to Xiliu, then the space for land thieves will be large, you can go east to stab Lord Shi in the back, and you can continue to disrupt the war to the west, 5,000 troops, in just a few days, you can turn the world upside down, they are by no means Zhao Yuanji and Xu Minglong's squad can be compared."

They can even stare specifically at the grain line, which is not something we can afford.

I guess the land thieves will not attack in a big way, but will grasp the rhythm and give us the illusion that they are not strong, and as long as we slowly support a little force in the rear, they will not be able to take the west.

In fact, the land thieves want to encroach on us, or they want to borrow 5,000 troops to drag our entire rear.

Once we are slowly entangled with him, we will undoubtedly fall into his trap, and when the time comes, Xiliu will not only be powerless to support Lord Thorn Shi in front, but will also become a wounded finger, and even Yihan and other places will be dragged down, and the final result will be a complete fault between our rear and front. ”

The faces of the crowd changed.

The adjutant general's statement sounds a bit fantastical, but it is not impossible.

Someone wondered: "If that's the case, the Lu thief's heart is inevitably too big, is he so sure that we will play with him slowly?"

The adjutant general asked rhetorically: "How many troops can we gather in the rear? Can we wipe out the land thieves in one fell swoop? If Xiliu is in danger, the other generals will not care? Can Lord Assassin Shi divide his troops at this moment?"

Skeptics shut up immediately.

The rear forces are not small, but there are also many places to be guarded.

Because before the French Shuai's army entered Tongchuan, Zhao Yuanji and Xu Minglong sent an elite team to harass the four major towns, but because the pressure on the front was too great, their team did not have much combat power, and it was easy to defuse.

Now it's different, 5,000 organized and courageous army of marshals are lying in the rear, trying to circle a place to consume you, and you have nothing to do.

Ma Qiong said in a deep voice: "What about another way of saying it?"

The deputy general coughed lightly, "The land thieves can bloom more, you know, the rear of the big battlefield can be more than westward!"

The crowd was silent.

Xiliu, Yihan, Dongxiang, and Shigu are all in the rear.

In the final analysis, Li Wuchang's position is very clear, that is, he is here to make trouble, and he also has the capital to make trouble.

Of course, Jia Song can't divide his troops, and even if he has to divide his troops, there won't be many, otherwise the main battlefield of Tongchuan will collapse, and if the main battlefield of Tongchuan collapses, the morale of the entire Liangzhou will suffer an unprecedented blow, and it will be brought to the junction of the three counties at that time.

Therefore, it can only be done by the rear.

Ma Qiong looked around and said, "Everyone, no matter what the thief takes next, we must hold on, what are the good proposals?"

A strategist slowly spoke: "My subordinates agree with what Vice General Peng said, Xiliu's position is indeed the most important, and it must be stabilized." If nothing else, the land thieves will definitely make a fuss about the battle situation the night before and build up momentum. Our soldiers may not waver, but ordinary people will definitely panic, and that will definitely increase the pressure on our defense!

At present, the most important thing is to stabilize the hearts of the people in the small city! First of all, General Yan's serious injury must be concealed, and in addition, it is necessary to send a letter to General Zou, telling him to speed up and rush to this side and be ready to fight at any time...... Stabilize the west flow first, and then we can continue to walk!"

Ma Qiong nodded silently.

......

Ma Qiong naturally couldn't go to Li Wuchang to treat Yan Zhuo, which was even more unreliable than going to Doctor Song.

However, in order to stabilize people's hearts, it is still necessary to conceal a hand.

"General Yan is fine, Lu Xifa jumped off the beam clown, he just came to the city for a walk, but ran away in a gloomy way!"

That's what Ma Qiong said.

Yan Zhuo has been sitting in Xiliu for several months, and his ability and prestige are all in the eyes of everyone, if there is news that he is seriously injured and about to die, the small city will definitely be affected a lot.

You must know that the French army has not left far, and there is a possibility of a second attack at any time.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Ma Qiong's concealment is destined to fail to achieve good results, and if the French Shuai Army spreads it by itself, the people in the small city of Xiliu can guess it.

Everyone knew that Li Wuchang had personally shot the night before yesterday, so there was that Jiang Minglun.

General Yan Zhuo was slashed by Jiang Minglun.

Many people have privately guessed that General Yan Zhuo is now in a state of being seriously injured and dying.

This kind of news spreads very quickly, and it can easily spread more and more outrageously.

......

Inside the tent of the French marshal's army.

Wu Xun laughed: "Stunned, now it is rumored that you and Minglun killed two people in Xiliu City, cut Yan Zhuo half to death, and killed hundreds of court soldiers, and finally retreated calmly!"

The fat bear also said: "Not only that...... There are also rumors that you and Jiang San are now walking on the road to assassinate Jia Song, and Jia Song is about to be in a catastrophe!"

Li Wuchang rolled his eyes: "Who the hell is passing it on, how can it be so outrageous? At that time, except for Yan Zhuo and the two masters, there were only about forty people left, and there were still hundreds? I also assassinated Jia Song? Do I have that strength?"

Han Dazhi said with a smile: "Who else is spreading it, except for the ordinary people, naturally Qiu Xingjian and others are taking the opportunity to make a fuss, intending to hit the morale of the imperial court, which is a good thing!"

Li Wuchang said: "Lao Wu and Lao Shi, the next step is still the same, you two commanders, Minglun presses the formation...... After this fight, I have a new understanding, and I took the opportunity to ponder for two days to see if I can touch the signs!"

Jiang Minglun, Wu Xun, and Shi Feng all bowed their hands at the same time.
