Everyone was fighting vigorously, and the more they fought, the more brave they became. Although the Northern Desert Army had a large number of people, they had been upset and angry for several days. Now they couldn't attack by force. Instead, they saw that the opponent became more and more brave, and the comrades around them died one by one.
With the weapons, and the occasional gunpowder weapons thrown at them, an explosion would sound around them at every turn, which inevitably made them feel timid, but the call to attack kept sounding, so they could only bite the bullet and rush forward.
At the same time, King An and King Wei led troops to intercept the Northern Desert people's grain and grass team. The Northern Desert people were always too careless about grain and grass. Although they did not suffer a loss once or twice, General Qin believed that,
If they attack along the way and capture the city of Beitang, they will receive an endless supply of food. However, after a few days of siege, they realized that it was a naive idea to quickly capture Beitang, so they sent troops back to ask for food and grass to follow.
However, there was a severe drought in the Northern Desert and there was a shortage of food. In addition, Qihuo had purchased and hoarded food in prefectures and counties around the border towns, which made it more difficult for the court to raise funds. As a last resort, they had to send soldiers to escort some of them over first, and then sent out
The backup force was relatively weak, so they were quickly intercepted by King An and King Wei, and the troops were annihilated.
After the interception, they quickly returned to the city to support the large army. These grains and grass could not be delivered to the hands of the Beimo people. Even if they could survive these two days, they still had to abandon Xiuzhou Mansion. Since they had raised troops, they would not retreat easily. They would definitely
If they continue to move forward, they will be forced into an ambush.
Prince Anfeng and his wife led their men to lay an ambush on the attack route away from the city. The weather had been a bit dark these past two days. General Hu was worried that it would rain. Prince Anfeng counted with his fingers and said that it would not rain, and that it would have no impact.
Everyone continues to work.
General Hu didn't quite believe what he said. After all, the thunder had sounded half an hour ago. These were gunpowder weapons. Can they still be used after being wet?
However, Prince Anfeng carries a golden tiger with him. When this golden tiger stands next to Prince Anfeng, it inexplicably makes people full of trust in Prince Anfeng's words.
Everyone worked hard to complete the project as soon as possible and reduce the pressure on the city.
In this life-and-death battle, everyone seemed particularly anxious. However, Prince Anfeng and his wife did not have such emotions. They passed the orders in an orderly manner and also screened the terrain. There was originally a road he thought he could ambush, but he refused.
He said that the enemy would not take this route so as not to waste it.
General Hu thought that he was really stingy and wasted money. It’s not like there was nothing. The people from Lenglangmen were constantly delivering weapons. There were plenty of weapons. Why should he be so needy?
He couldn't help but complain, but Prince Anfeng looked at him seriously, "What a shameful waste!"
It's really shameful to waste money, but wouldn't a large-scale ambush increase the security?
But Prince Anfeng was the commander-in-chief of this operation, which forced him to act according to Prince Anfeng's words despite his resentment.
When it comes to identifying places, time will be wasted. Some of his generals couldn't help but come to complain to General Hu. General Hu is a brave and capable general, but he has a soft ear and everyone listens.
Agreeing with him, he couldn't help but go to Prince Anfeng's tent that night to start a fuss.
He believed that choosing a place like this would delay the project and increase the danger to the soldiers in the city. Moreover, Prince Anfeng could not guarantee that the enemy would not take this route. If there were any leftovers, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of?
After hearing this, Prince Anfeng said lightly, "Absurd!"
General Hu was unconvinced, "Why is this ridiculous?
If the general’s opinion is wrong, but everyone says so, is everyone’s idea wrong?”
"Who said that?"
"The general's subordinates are all experienced warriors and have the combat experience ordered by them."
Prince Anfeng asked, "If you are so powerful, why do you have to be subordinate to you when you are not the head coach?"
"This...how can you look down on people?"
General Hu suddenly became angry.
Prince Anfeng glanced at him, asked him to sit down, and then analyzed with him, "How can we ensure that they take our ambush route?
Then the only way is to destroy the other road. This road is also the route for our army to retreat and attack. After the war is over, this road is for the people to walk. Do you dare to let the people walk where we have laid mines?
On the way?"
"This..." General Hu was startled. He had not thought of this, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong. "Since a road has been destroyed, how can this road become the road for our army to retreat and attack?"
Prince Anfeng reached out and stroked his brow, looking a little helpless, "The enemy looked at this road as destroyed. Once it collapsed, it blocked the way. In order to rush forward, they would not clean up this place, and would even think that
There is an ambush ahead, so we will choose our established route and enter our ambush circle. But we are not. We can still move forward after crossing this landslide. Therefore, once the ambush circle cannot kill them, our troops can pass through smoothly.
Intercepting them from the front. At that time, the opponent's forces were very few, so it wouldn't be so difficult for us to fight against them. Do you understand?
"After hearing his analysis, General Hu realized that he had indeed not thought carefully enough, and he said sarcastically: "Then you should explain it clearly to the general, why do you say you are afraid of waste?
I really think you are afraid of wasting."
Prince Anfeng raised his eyes to look at him and said patiently: "Do you think we have a lot of weapons?
Naturally, we are afraid of waste. Even if weapons can be made, how far will it be to transport them?
do not you know?
And if we can't kill them here, why don't we set up another ambush?
When fighting a war, you cannot just focus on the battle in front of you. No battle can be won with certainty."
Although Prince Anfeng's tone was gentle, Jin Hu next to him kept grinning, which made General Hu feel a little frightened. In addition, his analysis was indeed very clear, but he seemed to be very unreasonable.
"Okay, then you will understand."
General Hu stood up and held his hands, "Just do everything according to the prince's wishes."
Prince Anfeng asked: "Do you know why the emperor chooses a concubine?"
"Um?"
General Hu was stunned for a moment, with questions in his eyes.
"Because you are a careless father-in-law and can be easily provoked!"
Prince Anfeng shook his head, "Let's talk about this war. The key to victory or defeat depends on this action. You can ask questions, but you don't even dare to refute me before your subordinates tell me. As soon as they say it, you will come to them immediately."
I wonder, did they give you your thoughts and courage?"
General Hu was stunned for a long time, "This, how can this affect the emperor's selection of concubines?
In the past, the general's temperament was a bit reckless and domineering, but since returning to Beijing, he has restrained himself. He no longer dares to rely on his own merits and is arrogant. As for today's matter, the general can't figure it out for the moment..." His voice gradually became lower.
