Not only Bei Gongjing, but Yang Chen also saw it.

There are not a few children from aristocratic families these days who only care about having fun all day long, but there are also a lot of people who have been strictly trained since childhood. This type of people started out to pursue careers in general, generals, and affairs when they grow up, playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Songs, horseback riding and archery, long swords and big halberds, military tactics and strategies... you have to learn everything, and you have to learn everything. What? These are too difficult, can't you learn them? Oh, if you can't learn them, just leave them alone. Go and be an insignificant little character. From now on, the whole family will treat you as a non-person. It’s hard to say whether you can enter the ancestral graves after your death. Do you really think that the ancestral graves of aristocratic families are so easy to enter? Who would dare to bury you without merit? Go in! So from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was a long time of more than a thousand years. Most of the top generals and civil servants and counselors came from aristocratic families. There were not many who really started from humble beginnings and made great achievements in the end. Just Wei Huo in the Western Han Dynasty, Deng Ai and Wang Jun in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Guan Yu in the Ji Han Dynasty.

The children of the aristocratic families who can withstand the devilish training for ten years and finally stand out are all ruthless characters who are capable of both civil and military skills. They can lead an army of tigers and wolves to destroy cities and strongholds when they mount, and they can govern the country and bring peace to the country when they dismount. Even if you are a ruthless person. The achievements of the Five Zhans in strategy cannot be underestimated. For example, Wei Rui, Chen Qingzhi, and Xie Ai were all ruthless men who single-handedly changed the destiny of a country, but they couldn't even ride a horse.

Naturally, Yang Chen can't compare with these awesome people, but that doesn't mean that he only knows how to write and write. When he was young, he was also a ruthless character who could attack the enemy with a hundred steps. Although he has never led many soldiers in his life, it doesn't mean that he can He knew nothing about leading troops to fight. Seeing the Hu people working hard to strengthen the fortifications, he felt a little uneasy and said to Bei Gongjing: "The Hu people suffered a disastrous defeat but refused to retreat. They still dug deep trenches and built strong fortifications in Yiyang City. They have However, a large number of cavalrymen retreated into the city and refused to go out to fight. Their behavior was extremely abnormal, and I am afraid that their intentions are not trivial."

Bei Gongjing asked: "Your Excellency, how is the situation in Luoyang City?"

Yang Chen said: "It's very empty. The Taiwei has almost drained the entire elite force of Luoyang. If our army fails to attack Yiyang for a long time, and the Hulu attack from the direction of Mianchi and attack Yiyang, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Bei Gongjing pondered and asked: "Can our army's scouts detect the movements of the main force of the Hulu army in the direction of Mianchi?"

Yang Chen shook his head helplessly: "It can't be done! The Hulu are in Xin'an, and there are thousands of cavalry in the Heyin direction, forming a tight blockade on Luoyang. Our army's scouts can't even move twenty miles away from the city!"

Bei Gongjing frowned and said, "This is too dangerous..."

Yang Chen said: "Yes, it is very dangerous. Does my nephew have any countermeasures?"

Bei Gongjing said: "There are countermeasures."

Yang Chen said: "Tell me in detail!"

Bei Gongjing pointed at Mu Tu and said: "The main force of the Hulu army is in Mianchi. As long as they are willing to send troops from Mianchi, they can push it to Luoyang City in at most two days. Either they can defeat the city in one fell swoop with careful cooperation in Luoyang City, or they can force me to The army quickly returns from Yiyang to rescue Luoyang. No matter which situation happens, our army will be extremely passive. If our army wants to deal with it, there are two ways: first, immediately divide the troops and send a part of the elite to Xin'an to defeat the active forces in Xin'an. The Hulu troops in the area have recaptured Xin'an and are preparing to meet the main force that may arrive during the Hulu Yin period..."

Yang Chen frowned and said: "But there are still 30,000 elite Hu barbarians in Yiyang city. If we divide the troops, I'm afraid that the troops surrounding Yiyang will not be enough. Maybe all the troops surrounding Yiyang will be counterattacked by the barbarians in the city."

Danger!"

Bei Gongjing said: "The second countermeasure is to take advantage of the Hulu's initiative in the direction of Mianchi to concentrate all our efforts on attacking Yiyang and capture Yiyang in the shortest possible time. As long as Yiyang is captured, even if

The main force of the Hulu forces is dispatched, and our army can deal with it calmly."

Yang Chen frowned even more: "But there are 30,000 elite Hulu in Yiyang City, as well as famous generals like Shi Le and Hu Yanyan. If you want to capture Yiyang in a short time, it will be difficult to reach the sky!"

Bei Gongjing said: "The Hulu have just suffered a huge defeat in Xincheng, and they are still frightened. If they attack with all their strength, they have a good chance of winning. If they delay it any longer, when their hearts calm down, the battle will be even harder to fight."

Yang Chen was a little excited: "Can we really conquer Yiyang quickly and defeat the 30,000 elite Hulu in Yiyang City?"

Bei Gongjing said: "I can only say that I am certain."

Yang Chen was silent for a long time and made up his mind: "I'll go talk to the Taiwei."

Bei Gongjing said: "It must be done as soon as possible, otherwise our army may be destroyed!"

Yang Chen did not dare to neglect and went to see Sima Yue immediately.

Bei Gongjing called Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, Li Rui, Xiao Yu and others to go out to inspect the terrain, understand the enemy's troop deployment, and see if they could find any loopholes in the enemy's defense line.

Climbing to a high place, Yiyang's defense line is clear at a glance: Shi Le and Hu Yanyan are really shameless now. They started digging trenches two arrows away from the Yiyang city wall, and then built fences and antlers to surround Yiyang.

It's so dense that it makes one's head hurt just to look at it. There are archers behind the fences and earthen ramparts, and the crossbows and trebuchets on the walls of Yiyang City can easily hit arrows and stones into the middle of the attacking team. It's not difficult to imagine that the front

If we attack by force, the attacking side will pay a terrible price.

Xiao Yu couldn't help scolding: "Haven't Hulu always been proud of their strong bows and powerful horses, and their comings and goings like the wind? Why have they turned into cowards now? What the hell!"

Yang Jun said: "Because they are afraid of being beaten."

Yang Xiu said: "They lost more than 20,000 people in the battle in Xincheng. They were scared out of their wits a long time ago. The denser the antlers are now, it proves that they are more and more guilty!"

Xiao Yu immediately laughed: "That's really what happened! They are guilty, hehe!"

Bei Gongjing did not participate in the discussion, but carefully observed the enemy's fortifications and troop deployment, looking for loopholes. Not to mention, he really found several loopholes: due to the rush of time and the large amount of work, the barbarians were

When building fences and antlers, we used a lot of trees that had just been cut down from the mountains, and many of those trees were seriously thin!

This is a huge flaw. Most of the trees that have just been cut down in winter are very brittle. If they are too cold, their branches will break if they are left unmoving. Some trees as thick as calves, like Xu Hun, are as strong as

A bully guy can be knocked down with one kick. The Hu people are good at mounted combat but poor at infantry combat. Relying on their own large numbers of horses and strong mobility, they don't pay much attention to camping, building field fortifications, etc. In fact, they don't.

It is necessary to pay attention to it, because in most cases if they cannot defeat them, they will run away on horseback. The Central Plains Dynasty army, which is mainly infantry, cannot catch up at all. Why should they stop in one place and fight a defensive battle? Since

There is no need to engage in defensive warfare now, so what is the use of learning these things?

It is precisely because of lack of experience that famous generals such as Shi Le and Hu Yanyan made some stupid mistakes and used a large amount of wood that did not meet the specifications to build their forts. They may not know that these wood that does not meet the scale will become their carefully constructed defense lines.

The weak environments in the system, once targeted, can easily become ant nests that lead to the collapse of the embankment.

He secretly noted down the sections of fence with the most substandard wood and listed them as key targets for attack. Seeing that Li Rui was also carefully observing the enemy's situation, he was secretly delighted: This lazy guy only thought about escaping Luoyang.

The guy who spent his childhood hiding from the flames of war in an inaccessible place finally became a bit like a general.

Feeling secretly happy in his heart, but showing no emotion on the surface, he asked: "Li Quhou, if I let you take command, how would you fight?"

Li Rui was also unambiguous, pointing to a hill south of Yiyang: "If you let me take command, I will send troops to seize this hill first."

Yang Jun looked at the mountain, frowned and said: "Laolong Mountain? This mountain is a hundred feet high, and the side facing Yiyang is steep. Even if it is taken down, it will be difficult to attack Yiyang from a high position. This kind of place is valuable

It’s not big.”

Li Rui said: "But if you set up a trebuchet on the mountain, you can easily hit every corner of Yiyang City with stones weighing a hundred kilograms, making it impossible for the enemy to find a safe corner in the city!"

Yang Jun said: "The trebuchet has poor accuracy and it is difficult to cause too many casualties to the enemy."

Li Rui said: "There is no need to cause many casualties, as long as they know that it is not safe to stay in the city, and they may even die at any time, that's it!"

Bei Gongjing pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Zhang Xiong: "How many enemy troops are there on Laolong Mountain?"

Zhang Xiong said: "There are about six hundred people."

Bei Gongjing asked: "How is the camp?"

Zhang Xiong said: "The camp that our army originally built on the mountain has been razed to the ground during the battle. They cut down the trees themselves and built three small wooden camps."

Bei Gongjing asked Zhang Xuan: "If I give you a thousand men, can you take down Laolong Mountain?"

Zhang Xuan said without hesitation: "As long as the young general gives the order, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, it will be carried out without fail, let alone attacking a small hill?"

Bei Gongjing said: "Okay, I will allocate a thousand people to you. You can find a way to find out the situation of the Laolongshan camp and take it down for me within two days!"

Zhang Xuan cupped his fists and saluted: "Here!"

Li Rui frowned: "Why not let Zhang Xiong go?" After experiencing so many fierce battles together, he got to know Zhang Xiong better. The taciturn Liangzhou man was loyal, reliable, brave and good at fighting, and brave.

He is a rare good general. Shi Le mobilized more than 7,000 cavalry to besiege him, but he could not defeat him. If he is allowed to join, he will be more certain to win Erlaoshan quickly. However, Zhang Xuan has been staying in the Xiong'er Mountain camp.

He had never seen Zhang Xuan's performance on the battlefield, and he felt unsure when Bei Gongjing entrusted him with such an important task.

Bei Gongjing said: "Zhang Xiong has a more important task and cannot be moved. Moreover, he is better at riding and fighting. It would be a waste to let him attack the mountain."

Li Rui immediately stopped talking.
