Captured

As they shouted wildly, the shining sabre was raised into the air by the chaotic clusters, celebrating the victory of the first battle. While concentrating their troops, the Dongsancang, located at the critical rush of the Dongcheng Gate, had been lost. Although some unwilling soldiers were still fighting hard, when the raging flames burned on the top of the warehouse, the cruel reality still proved the disadvantage of the war to the whole city. 23us.

Burn, burn, this fire is just the beginning. When it burns to the end, Jinzhou will be a completely different world.

His lips were pursed tightly, and there was no expression of happiness. Jin Luonao pulled his horse to the side of the cage and quietly watched the actions of his confidants who were burning the barn according to his orders. At the same time, he also checked one in his heart on a list that had been listed for a long time.

Another missing part that I need to complete.

Young Master.

The fast horse was running to report to the troops responsible for clearing the main streets to ensure that the Xiangren cavalry team could perform their maximum efficiency, but it was unexpected news from Jinluo Nao.

What, there will be friendly troops here

Strictly speaking, this may not be a friendly force.

The messenger said with a little hesitation after wiping a sweat from his forehead.

Just now, although the main force was concentrated around the Dongsan Warehouse, about 2,000 Xiang people were sent to Pingjing City and to restrain the defenders of each warehouse, and not to ask them to come out for help. In the process, strange movements occurred in Dongsan Warehouse.

There was only one man, very fast, and he used a knife to kill seven or eight running black sailors, including one Wu Zheng, who emerged from there.

Surprised, Jin Luonao was a little worried for a moment: nothing on the battlefield is more terrifying than an accident. In a sense, the so-called friendly forces who are not sure about their origins may even have worse consequences than the planned enemy.

As soon as the commander reported again, he said: "Go back to the young master, the man is indescribable. He can't say who he wants to help. Just now, Kuokuo wanted to approach him and ask him for his name, but he almost killed him with a knife. So I sent me to remind the young master, be careful.

Jin Luo was stunned for a moment and laughed: OK, I know, just go back and tell the commander of the thousand-members and let him rest assured.

Watching the commander leave, Jin Luonao's face replied solemnly: Kuokuochu is the best martial arts among the seven thousand men who came with him this time. He has received personal guidance from Dahai Wuliang. He already has the sixth-level peak power and is also extraordinary. He is definitely not a mediocre skill. He can only kill him if he estimates it himself and has to go beyond the seven moves. If the mysterious figure can force him to die with one knife, he must never ignore it.

Jinghou's man didn't come, but an inexplicable knife hand came. This battle was really a battle.

With a wry smile, Jin Luona adjusted his body and turned the horse halfway. Suddenly, he heard the young master's call again, but it was from both east and west at the same time.

The speeding messengers looked in a panic. Before they could finish the etiquette, they reported the reasons for telling them to come and report almost at the same time.

Enemies appeared outside the east and west gates at the same time, and they were all cavalrymen.

Then, what about the South Gate

There have always been a preparation for the emergence of third-party forces. Jin Luonao left a reserve force of about 1,000 people since the siege. He did not dare to be rash after the city was captured, and he still placed this force near the south gate where he believed that the enemy was most likely to appear. In his estimate, this was enough to deal with the enemy with a total of up to 800 to 1,000 people.

It was also at this time that the horse's hooves sounded, and the messengers from the Nanmen Army also appeared in a panic.

Back to the young master, a large number of cavalry appeared outside the south gate, which had dispersed the formation outside the city. Chahan Tie Kuoer's long message said that the number of enemy troops was not yet known, but the vanguard troops must be the Black Water Army.

How could the Black Water Army be

What promised him was done. You can't take risks with these people before you see the situation clearly.

I was deeply shocked. After a brief thought, Jin Luonao made up his mind and said: I will order all the commanders to stop immediately and act according to the previous third plan.

Outside the south gate, facing the Xiangren troops who seemed to have no intention of fighting and quickly contracted into the city with just one touch, Yun Chongbo felt very strange and couldn't figure it out.

How could they suddenly become so timid

This is not timidity, but caution.

With a mysterious smile, Zhao Feiya immediately said this.

This is not caution, it should be said that it is military tactics.

He came over and stood beside Yun Chongbo. Xiao Wenshuang stared at Zhao Feiya tightly and said coldly:

It is empty and solid, and he is confusing the enemy at night. General Zhao's military strategy, his courage, and his accuracy are very impressed.

Zhao Feiya chuckled and bowed: "The award is too much." The two of them looked at each other and they opened their own eyes.

But, what are you talking about

In the end, Xiao Wenshuang was still the one who solved Yun Chongbo's confusion.

In the previous arrangement, Zhao Feiya completely ignored the fact that Xiangren's military strength was thousands, and divided the newly recruited black sailors into three units, with two subordinates leading a hundred people, using fire as a signal to launch an attack on the east and west gates at the same time. The rest gathered at the south gate, and the newly surrendered black sailors were the vanguard to charge.

Yun Chongbo showed strong confusion and opposition to this, and even until this moment, when the Xiang people in front of him and on both sides of the east and west were indeed retreating as expected instead of making tenacious resistance, he still couldn't understand.

This is because the commander of Xiang Ren was a very steady and cautious person, the young master.

The right way to concentrate troops is indeed the right way for military strategists, but using it here is tantamount to suicide. Jin Luonao is a very cautious person. Through the narratives of Xiang Renzhi who had fought with us, he has the ability to estimate the approximate force here. In fact, he has indeed targeted about a thousand people in the direction we are most likely to attack.

If our attacks were only launched from the South Gate, the 1,000 people would snipe us strongly because they were originally reserve teams, so this would not affect the Xiang people's battles in the city at all.

With eight hundred to one thousand, under such circumstances, even if you can break through, it will never be annihilated. And if you enter the city like that, you can't do anything.

So, we must divide our troops.

Young Master, why do we want to withdraw our original plan? Isn’t it that the commander of Tasbuhua and others will resist the barbarian army? Let’s first defeat the black sailors, and then directly put the army into the city and kill them together?

The knight who followed Jin Luo Nao closely was named Tuotuo, and he was also in the position of the commander of the thousand men. Among the seven commanders who came with him this time, this person is the most familiar with military strategies and is often the counselor of Jin Luo Nao. This time, he is preparing while attacking Yihe. It was his idea that Jinghou Zhao Feiya and others attacked him.

The person coming is wrong.

With just a simple answer, Jin Luonao rode his horse at the end of the team, killing some black sailors who mustered up the courage to counterattack one by one, while monitoring the orderly withdrawal of the entire army.

Yibuhua's previous rewards were at most less than a thousand barbarians. With their combat power at that time, they could not defeat Buhua again quickly under the same number.

However, the situation is not right now.

To launch an attack from three directions at the same time, they should have at least no less than our troops. Moreover, as Buhua said before, the army that attacked them was not the Blackwater people.

It is difficult to find out late at night, so let's ensure that the entire army retreats safely outside the city first

I can understand the plan of using the weak to show the strong and confuse the enemy, but why do we have to wait until the Liucang is already in trouble before we can intervene

That's for the Black Sailor to suffer heavy enough losses.

After being slightly stunned by this answer, Yun Chongbo couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied: In his mind, the Black Sailor was indeed not a good person, but for such a reason he stood on the dry bank and watched the river rise, watching others collapse like being massacred, but it was too far from his principles of being a human being.

Not what you thought, young master.

With a wry smile, Xiao Wenshuang continued to explain to Yun Chongbo what he had not had time to explain clearly.

But, Young Master, if this is the deception of the Xia people, I heard that there are many such things in their military books.

The Black Watermen are not necessarily black water soldiers. Didn’t they kill all the black water soldiers that day, maybe they are just those remaining soldiers now.

He was still unwilling to retreat on the eve of victory. Tuotuo followed Jin Luo's head closely, and was still doing his best.

I have considered all those, but what if all these are wrong

The army is alone and the family is thousands of miles away. We have absolutely no capital to fight the encounter that is not sure of a quick decision.

and.

Suddenly, he grabbed the horse with a cold smile, Jin Luonao said: If your speculation is correct, then, even if we quit the city first, what will happen?

Only then did they intervene, because more than half of the Black Water Army had been killed or injured, so it would not matter if the Xiang people first retreated out of the city. If they found out that we were indeed not a large group of people at dawn, they could attack the city again at any time. Anyway, they would burn all the city gates and the like when they retreated.

So, you understand

If we are really cheated, then we will attack after dawn. If it is really a team of less than a thousand people, then what use can they do when the Black Water Army guarding the city has been killed by us for more than half of it?

Just remember to take your people to smash all the city defenses along the way to the North Gate, cut down the city gate and burn it, then retreat and set up a formation three miles away from the North Gate

The young master clearly sees it.

He gave a deep gift on the horse's back and left with admiration on his face.

Looking at his back, a complicated look appeared on Jin Luonao's face.

There is another reason, that you didn't expect, Tutuo.

As long as I have a choice, I don't want to fight the Xia people on the streets

Moreover, as long as there is a choice, Jinluo Nao should not let the decisive battle unfold in the streets.

Xiang people are nations on horseback. On the plain, riding horses, they may be an invincible army, but in addition, they have to learn a lot. Jinluo Nao is proficient in Xia Xue, so he will not easily choose battlefields where the military strength cannot be played.

is that so

With his eyes wide open, Yun Chongbo couldn't say anything. In this seemingly straightforward battle, there were such complex considerations. At this moment, he had never thought of it.

Although he was a general, Yun Dongxian had never taught Yun Chongbo's method of fighting in the form of battle. Because he knew almost zero about these things, and in the several battles he had involved in before, he always had conflicts in other people's chessboards, and he had always lacked the feeling of mastering and thinking by himself.

This is the art of war, brothers.

With a big laugh, Zhao Feiya suddenly appeared, holding Yun Chongbo's shoulder with one hand, and laughed: Meeting with him in hand is just the end of the battle. If you place your hope for victory in that place, it will definitely not work.

art of war

Repeating the noun that was quite fresh to him, Yun Chongbo suddenly felt a little envious and curious, and wanted to enter this world where Zhao Feiya and Xiao Wenshuang seemed to be skilled in it, and wanted to have the wisdom to penetrate and manipulate enemy actions like them.

Interested is actually very simple.

As if seeing through Yun Chongbo’s thoughts, Zhao Feiya smiled strangely and said: To put it bluntly, it is just four words that fulfill the meaning of people’s hearts.

First try to master what the other party wants, and then consider which step you can satisfy the other party. This is the art of war. Isn’t it very simple

Just like tonight, Xiang people must break Yihe City, burn food, kill black sailors, and ensure their safe evacuation. But we all thought of these for them and left them a way to go. Of course, they don’t have to fight to the death. Even if they are half-believing, they will leave the city with suspicion instead of taking action with suspicion.

Remember that, brother, leave a way out for others, and they won’t be able to fight to death. What will the rabbit do when he really can’t escape?

Yeah
