The ugly time has just passed, and the yin time has just arrived.

Le Niu, who was sleepy and sleepy, was dragged out of the warm quilt by the guards, and he almost thought that Beidi was taking advantage of the darkness to attack the city, so he hurriedly reached out to touch the sword hidden under the pillow.

When he pushed away the guards who were about to explain, he rushed out of the bedroom in pajamas, only to find the three Xu Ao waiting in the living room with a surprised face.

At this time, the guard, who had been thrown off by him, came out of the bedroom.

"Eh, isn't Beidi attacking the city?" the four shook their heads together.

"Then what's not to say tomorrow morning?" General Le breathed a sigh of relief, put the sword in his hand on the table, picked up the cold teapot, and poured a few sips. The cold tea went down to his stomach, shivered, and completely relieved himself: "If there is anything to say, while it is still early, I will sleep again." ”

"General Le, the lower officer dared to ask. Did reinforcements come over yesterday?" As soon as he came up, Xu Ao was a little aggressive, his eyes staring at Le Niu's face, trying to catch clues inside.

"Yes, there should have been reinforcements yesterday. However, he still couldn't penetrate Beidi's defenses, so he retreated. Le Niu was curious about how these three people were so mysterious. Even if reinforcements come, they won't be able to break the siege for a while, so what's the use. What's more, this is not a secret, and the people on duty on the two walls in the southeast should have seen it.

"General, in view of yesterday's situation, and the fact that Beidi has not attacked the city for a long time, I suspect that this is a strategy to encircle and send reinforcements. Le Niu was so frank, but Xu Ao and the other three were stunned for a moment, and all the prepared words couldn't be corrected, so Xu Ao had to say his thoughts directly.

On the way here, Xu Ao used his brains and sorted out the entire thirty-six plans, and the most likely one is probably this encirclement point to help. Otherwise, why would it be that so many siege equipment had already been built, but they only went to the city every day to show off their might? You must know that one million people consume an astonishing amount of grain and grass every day. Even if the grain stored in Zhaohua City was emptied by them at the beginning, it should be transported back to the tribe, how could it waste food outside the lonely bamboo city in Yanbei.

"Encircling the point to send reinforcements? You mean, they will use Guzhu City as bait to lure the army to come to the aid and take the opportunity to eat the army?" Le Niu scratched his head, as if there was indeed this possibility.

Xu Ao asked: "General, if Beidi wants to attack the city with this million people, he doesn't care about the losses. How many people are they going to lose?"

Le Niu calculated the city defenses in the city, and said uncertainly: "According to normal speaking, the casualties of the enemy and us should be five to one. However, Lone Bamboo City is not a heroic city, if it really does not count the casualties and there is no master to intervene, maybe four to one can win Lone Bamboo City. ”

Xu Ao continued to ask: "Since the casualties in the siege are as high as five to one, no, we will count it according to what the general said, four to one." Our defenders still have nearly 200,000 men, and they can't risk being flanked from front and back to gnaw this hard bone?"

Le Niu can be a general for so many years, of course, not just because of his younger brother Le Yang. It's just that sometimes, the mind will be restricted, Xu Ao dialed it like a kick at the door, and Le Niu immediately reacted: "In this way, their reaction can be understood." If when they were in Zhaohua City, they could have used the time when we were stationed in Zhaohua City and fighting against the wild gods to arrange a defensive line between Zhaohua City and Guzhu City, so that it would be absolutely impossible for us to escape back to Guzhu City. Le Niu is very frank about this, defeat is defeat, and there is nothing to hide.

Xu Ao thought for a moment: "General, it shouldn't be the reason you think." Xia Guan felt that their kind of wheel warfare was indeed to consume our strength, and then swallow us little by little, not like cheating. Otherwise, they wouldn't have endured our strong bows and crossbows to confront us. I think the biggest possibility is that the trick of encircling the point to send reinforcements was just come up with. Their original goal may have been to annihilate us completely. Later, when I saw that I couldn't do anything, I temporarily changed my method. ”

"Oh, since you woke me up in the middle of the night, there must be some way to crack it?" Le Niu asked, after being a general for so many years, it was the first time that someone dared to directly refute his ideas, instead of praising and then beating around the bush to lead, it was also fresh.

"I suggest that we try to inform the reinforcements by all means, so that we can hold the remaining cities, and then set up a defensive line on the outskirts of the plain and the border with Yanzhong. Move all the villages outside the city to the city, and all the food can be transported, and if it can't be transported, it will be burned and poisoned. All the wells were poured with shredded hair. In this way, Beidi will be forced by us to fight a protracted war, at that time, it is to see who has more food. What's more, they can't rely on a few rivers outside the city to drink water, right? Cut off their water supply, they lack food and water, so they can only retreat obediently. "It's good to have thousands of years of knowledge, and in the face of the devil sweep, clearing the wilderness is the most basic method.

"Heh, at a young age, there are a lot of ways. I know everything else, what is the effect of cutting my hair and throwing it into the well? Can it be more effective than poisoning?" He really asked Le Niu to poison the well in the plains on his side, but he really hadn't tried it.

"Once the broken hair is drunk in large quantities, it can cause gastrointestinal cramps at least and internal bleeding from piercing the stomach and intestines. At that time, Beidi will have a lot more injuries and illnesses, and they will have to send someone to take care of them, two by two, if the situation allows. We can do everything we can and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind. Le Niu looked at Xu Ao, who was getting more and more excited the more he talked, and thought carefully. It seems that I have never heard of this crooked method, and I don't know if it has any effect. But listening to this child, he should be completely sure. Let's take a dead horse as a live horse doctor, believe him this time. After all, Beidi is the best at using poison, and must be very good at detoxification.

Xu Ao saw that Le Niu thought for a long time and didn't answer, and just wanted to emphasize his grasp. Le Niu suddenly asked an irrelevant word: "If Yan Qin turns against him in the future, will you use these tricks on Yan Jun's head?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Hu Sun Xiansheng's face changed greatly. Only Xu Ao really thought for a moment and answered categorically.

In this way, Le Niu smiled: "It is my duty to be loyal to the country, I don't want to lie to me, I treat people with sincerity." The Qin army has you children, but the future is much brighter than that of our Yan army. Go back to sleep, I've written it down. Le Niu got up and straightened up, and asked casually: "By the way, what did General Qin say?"

"Forehead、、、 "The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, or Xu Ao returned to Le Niu's question: "General Qin is drunk at night, and we feel that the matter is urgent, so let's talk to you about our thoughts first." ”

Le Niu smiled slightly: "Go back, early tomorrow morning, I will go and discuss with General Qin." Go to bed early, too. Anyway, as soon as the reinforcements came, they were beaten up, and they won't come back to die for a while. You don't have to worry. ”

The three of them got up to say goodbye, and Le Niu went to rest with a smile.
