Then everyone dispersed, and Chang Yu was sitting alone in the hall in a daze. Su Jingqian came in and made him a cup of tea. He said softly: "If we stab Bai Wang in the thief's hand, will this fight be easier?"
Chang Yu turned his head and smiled slightly: "How could you stab him in the midst of thousands of armies?"
"I have negotiated with Song Luoshu. You will launch a feint attack, and we will pretend to be thieves and follow him into the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to assassinate him." Su Jing's eyes were firm.
"Once the battle begins among thousands of armies, even if you are strong in martial arts and have no eyes, it will be extremely difficult to escape death. Even if you survive, it will be difficult to get close to Bai Wang. How can he not be on guard when Wang Ti is surrendering in front of him? At this time, I am afraid that only his confidants can
If you get close, it won't be easy to kill him."
"Assassins are meant to win in danger." Su Jing's expression was calm: "Seeing that you have been frowning for the past two days, it must be because of your troubles. Since I have obeyed your orders, I should share your worries with you..." Before he could finish his words, Chang was
Yu waved his hand to interrupt: "It's useless. Even killing Bai Wang now will have little impact on the war. The bandit army at this time is no longer the ragtag group of earlier years. They have formed a complete leadership system."
"What do you mean?" Su Jing looked confused.
"For example, if I die in battle, the military power of the officers and soldiers will be taken over by Lu Daqi and Xu Hongji, and they can fight as they want. If they die in battle, the command power will be taken over by Wu Sangui and Ma Ke, and so on unless the imperial court
Send another man." Chang Yu stood up and walked to the door and looked at the sky: "Even if Bai Wang is dead, there are capable people under his command to take over. They will not give up such a good strategic position and withdraw their troops directly just because one person dies. Of course.
"If he dies, it will still have some impact, but it will not be enough to cause a devastating impact. I will not put you two in danger just for such a small impact."
Su Jing finally understood: "So if killing Bai Wang can have a collapse effect, you can sacrifice the two of us?"
I have to say that this woman's thinking is very... that!
"Yes!" Chang Yu was also very direct! He turned around and shrugged, spreading his hands, Su Jing rolled his eyes and said, "cold-blooded" and turned to leave.
Chang Yu slept late and got up a little late. When he opened the door, he felt the sun was dazzling. The weather was not only sunny but also scorching, and he couldn't help but curse his mother.
After washing, Li Muxian came to see the generals and said that all the generals had gone out of the city to do regular drills. Although the soldiers were exhausted from the past few days of fighting and it was not suitable to do more drills, it was not good to be relaxed before the war, and they always wandered in the city and affected the lives of the people.
As they spoke, information was sent to the front of the case. At this time, Li Yan's army was on the other side of Tongling. His vanguard had joined Gao Jie and others and had advanced to five miles below the city to set up camp for repairs.
But another piece of news made him frown. Because Bai Wang had the advantage of the geographical location, it was difficult for him to move forward, so he headed towards the Diao Shen Ji Battalion to help in the battle. Unexpectedly, there was no ship on the other side for a while. It turned out that Cheng Niandong had previously carried out a plan to stop the officers and soldiers.
The tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the country not only plundered the people, but also burned or took away the fishermen's boats on the riverside.
"The thief general guarding Anqing is not an ordinary person." A sneer appeared at the corner of Chang Yu's mouth, and he said to Li Muchian: "It seems that we have to send people and ships over here. This trip will not be delayed at all, but Bai Bai
There will be enough time to replenish the troops and prepare food and grass.”
Li Muchian often sighed: "God still wants him to take a breather, but the Tiger Crouching Artillery of the Shenji Battalion is not of much help to the siege, and we are in urgent need here. If you can't bear the casualties, then just wait a little longer."
Let’s have a day”.
"God's calculation is not as good as that of man!" Chang Yu also sighed and said to Li Muchian: "Go and handle this matter, mobilize the fishing boats in and outside the city to go to Anqing as quickly as possible to get the Shenji Camp over!"
Li Muxian left immediately. After breakfast, Chang Yu stared at the scorching sun and went up to the top of the city to watch Wu Sangui and others training their troops. Unexpectedly, after walking around the city, there were no soldiers and horses around. He was shocked. Where are they?
Even the three guards of Dongchang didn't know where they were.
Just as he was about to send people to look for him, Qia Lu Daqi went to the city and asked for help. Lu Daqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He went to the rebel camp in the south."
Uh... Chang Yu was startled and immediately guessed what Wu Sangui and the others were thinking.
Wu Sangui and Ma Ke are both one of the most brave generals in the Ming Dynasty today. Wang Tizhong is also a gangster, not to mention the three guards of Dongchang. These generals are not only brave but also very arrogant. Yesterday, they sent troops to fight in a fierce battle, but today they are borrowing money.
Practice to regain the ground. Anyway, they will not rush into the enemy's position, and the enemy will not have the guts to rush out and fight them. They will simply show off their muscles under your nose to shock the enemy's morale.
This is actually a kind of psychological warfare!
Naturally, Chang Yu would not miss such a good show. Just as he was about to go down to the city, he saw several cavalry approaching in the distance. It turned out that Wu Sangui had sent people to report the situation. The bandit army had strengthened its position and it was now said to be impregnable!
Why is it so impregnable? Chang Yu was very curious, so he galloped away on horseback under the scorching sun. After walking for ten miles, he saw more than 10,000 troops training in square formations. He approached the horse and saw that the rebel positions were heavily guarded. Faced with the officers and soldiers, they came to provocation at the door of his house.
They were able to hold back and not rush out, which shows that Bai Wang is really good at using soldiers. At least he has seen through the intention of the officers and soldiers, which is to lure him out of the trench to fight.
Bai Wang is not stupid, how can he use his own shortcomings to touch other people's strengths?
When Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and others saw Chang Yuzhi, they all came to greet him. They raised their hands and pointed in the distance: "Lord Governor, look at this." Chang Yu took out his telescope and looked around. A few dozen meters away, there were piles of corpses exposed to the scorching sun and flies on them.
Flying back and forth, there was a ditch of rocks even further away, and more than a hundred meters away was a stone wall stretching from the foot of the mountain in the east to the riverside in the west. I couldn't help but frown.
"Since that stone wall, there are one every hundred meters, three in a row, and ditches have been dug between each one!" Marco said softly beside him and pointed to the mountains to the east: "Look, in addition to the archers, there are ten more
"Yu Trebuchet" Chang Yu turned his head and looked at it, his face became more solemn.
"This position is surrounded by piles of rocks and trenches. Our cavalry cannot rush into it. We can only charge with infantry. But the thieves can draw their bows and shoot arrows from behind the stone wall, not to mention the rocks and arrows covering the top of the mountain in the east. In this way, every time we break through
Just one stone wall will cause heavy losses!" Wu Sangui spat as he spoke: "This thieves are harder to beat than the Tatars!"
"If not for this, how could Zuo Liangyu have been in vain for several years!" Chang Yu sighed softly and looked at Bai Wang with admiration again. He was able to make full use of the terrain and built such a big project overnight. It was amazing! Then he rode along the road.
After walking around the edge of the position from east to west, he ordered the army to return to the city for repairs.
On the mountain ridge, under the shade of a tree next to the boulder, Bai Wang put down the telescope in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The young man became arrogant after winning a few battles. Let Big Brother teach you how to be a good man!
"Commander, are we just going to keep fighting with the officers and soldiers like this?" Wang Yi'en next to him gritted his teeth in hatred as he looked at the retreating officers and soldiers.
Bai Wang glanced at him: "Right now, the officers and soldiers are divided into two groups and the momentum is strong. We don't need to use softness to overcome the strong to avoid its sharp edge, but once it weakens again and is exhausted, it is time for us to take action."
"Again, it will be exhausted after three attempts?" Wang Yi'en, the boss, could not understand. Yuan Sanzhong, who was standing next to him, interrupted: "The officers and soldiers returned in vain yesterday after a vigorous effort, which has affected their morale. If the second and third times are still in vain, their morale will not matter."
The will to fight will still be overwhelming, and then it will be time for us to take the initiative to send troops."
"You mean, siege Tongling City?" Wang Yi'en finally understood.
Bai Wang nodded and turned to look to the southwest: "The officers and soldiers of the West Road are marching towards Anqing, but they want to capture the city of Anqing as if they were reaching the south of the sky, but it still does not affect our encirclement of Wei and rescue of Zhao! If he attacks Anqing, I will attack Tongling!"
It depends on who succeeds first!"
Yuan Sanzhong continued: "If once we break through Tongling, the officers and soldiers here will be tight, and the siege on Anqing will be lifted immediately, and we take advantage of the opportunity to go north to build momentum, the officers and soldiers will not dare to go south to harass us because they are worried about the safety of Nanjing. In this way, our side will be stable."
Got it!"
Bai Wang smiled and nodded: "So the key to changing the situation is here! As long as we can withstand two more attacks by the officers and soldiers, the rest is up to us."
When the three of them said they were enjoying themselves, they looked up to the sky and laughed. Wang Yi'en looked at the officers and soldiers in the distance: "The gelded dog claims to be invincible in battles, as if he is invincible. This will definitely make him bloody and realize that there are people outside the world."
Bai Wang put away his smile after hearing this: "This man is young and has gained such a reputation, so he has some skills. It is rumored that he has endless ways to use soldiers to master. We should be more careful about him. If we can't attack for a long time, we will be defeated."
"Shi Yin Zhao" said and looked at the river from a distance: "I sent an order to seize the fishing boats and block the waterway to prevent the officers and soldiers from attacking by water." Then he turned back and looked at the vast mountains: "There are many light and dark sentries in the mountains, spreading out ten miles away to prevent them."
