Wuwei has a small number of troops, and it is a miracle that everyone can hold on to the defense line for more than a month. No one will blame Yu Wenxin and the others for this. If it were someone else, they might not be as good as Yu Wenxin.
The failure to contain Murong Shifu already made Yu Wenxin feel disgraced. If the Wuwei troops launched a counterattack and Murong Shifu was frightened and then returned to the army, breaking away from the main force of the Han army, the problem would be huge.
Big.
This is also where Yu Wenxin has been struggling and hesitating.
He Ruobi said in a deep voice at this time: "But it seems inappropriate for us to be trapped in Wuwei and just sit back and watch the friendly forces charging outside. The top priority is to take action to force Tuyuhun to divide his troops to deal with the current war situation."
Yu Wenxin looked at him: "Divide the troops, you mean..."
"We might as well leave the city to break the siege, attack westward, and cut off the grain route to Tuyuhun!" He Ruobi said with determination.
Both Gao Mai and Shi Wansui's expressions changed.
Brother, you must be reliable when speaking!
In this situation, you can't do anything you want. We only have so many people in total. We can defend the city because we have made better preparations before, not because Tuyuhun is really incompetent enough to even fight.
It’s all gone, okay?
Our troops can now tear apart the enemy's defenses outside the city, which is considered good. Tuyuhun didn't leave any soldiers behind, and went directly to the southeast in a swagger.
You still think about breaking through the defenses and attacking northwest. Are all the soldiers and horses in Tuyuhun vegetarian?
On the contrary, Yu Wenxin's eyes sparkled and he smiled and said, "This is indeed a good choice."
Shi Wansui and Gao Mai couldn't help but look at each other.
Yes, I thought one of them was crazy before, but now it seems that both of them are crazy.
Shi Wansui immediately bit the bullet and said, "Isn't this too risky?"
He Ruobi said directly:
"The most dangerous place is often the safest place. Now the enemy will expect that we may break out to the southeast, and may also compete with them for the outer city walls, but they will never expect that we will attack their towns in the rear. Tuyuhun is now in order to win the northwest
In the battle, the whole country came out in full force. Most of their combatable troops had followed Murong Shifu to the southeast. The remaining troops should also be on the outskirts of Wuwei, so those further away
Zhangye and other places must lack a sufficient number of defenders, but the enemy has a large amount of food hoards. If we can capture Zhangye, or even directly attack Jiuquan, the situation in Hexi will change in an instant!"
"This..." Shi Wansui hesitated.
Yuwen Xinze stood up suddenly:
"When you have been stationed in Wuwei for so long, you should be able to realize what is the biggest problem in Wuwei. Wuwei is too far from the northwest counties, and too close to Hexi, or it is originally a part of Hexi. Therefore, we want to
The northwest attack is not far away, but it is very likely that we will achieve great gains. Once our army is able to burn the enemy's grain hoards in Zhangye and other places, will Murong Shifu still choose to return from Wuwei?"
Shi Wansui and Gao Mai suddenly understood.
Yes, there are only so many soldiers and horses in Tuyuhun. They have been led by Murong Shifu towards Anding, or stayed behind in Wuwei. This means that the number of enemy troops in Zhangye or even Jiuquan must not be very large, and even if
It is impossible to recruit soldiers who are good at fighting. If we can break out of the siege and attack Zhangye, we can not only cut off the enemy's transportation channels for grain and grass, but also be able to regain several counties in Hexi that the Han Dynasty has longed for in one fell swoop. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Moreover, once the grain and grass in Zhangye and other places are destroyed, Murong Shifu will not be able to return to the country through Wuwei Banshi, and the grain road will be cut off. What is the difference between continuing to take this road and seeking death? At that time, Murong Shifu will have no choice but to leave Tao.
If the troops were withdrawn by the water, wouldn't it mean that they would be surrounded by several armies of the Han army, making it impossible to escape?
but······
"Brother Zhong Le, isn't this too risky? Moreover, if our army breaks through the siege and attacks Zhangye, it is absolutely impossible for Murong Shifu not to receive any news. If he withdraws from Wuwei in advance, Wuwei will have no troops to defend, and Zhangye will
It has not been captured yet. Once the enemy builds a defense line along the Great Wall, won't our army become a turtle in a jar?" Gao Mai couldn't help but ask.
What I was thinking about just now was the benefits of being able to capture Zhangye, but what if the whereabouts were exposed in advance? Murong Shifu could not just watch the Han army sneak attack on his grain road.
I'm afraid that if I draw water from a bamboo basket, it will be in vain, and Wuwei will also be compensated.
If this were the case, Murong Shifu would probably wake up laughing.
"Risk is inevitable. If we don't want to take the risk, we won't be sitting here discussing this matter." Yu Wenxin said directly. If you don't take the risk, you can defend the city with peace of mind. Everyone should patrol back and forth at the city gate. Sit down
What is there to discuss here?
With a change of tone, Yu Wenxin continued: "But as long as we arrange it properly, it is not impossible for our troops to make dangerous moves and succeed."
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, and all raised their hands: "Please give me the general order!"
Although the current Wuwei defenders are far from sitting still and waiting for death, they have no idea how the external situation will develop. There is not enough food, grass, ammunition, etc. in the city. Sitting in the isolated city, the city defense line may not have collapsed. People's hearts
The defense line may have collapsed first. If the current deadlock can be broken without making the whole situation worse, then why not do it?
Anyone here who has the courage to come to Wuwei is not a timid person.
Since Murong Shifu has surrounded Wuwei City, we might as well do the opposite, so that we can not only save ourselves from the siege, but also cause him a big trouble.

"Wu Wei doesn't need us to worry anymore." Pei Zilie pointed to the sand table in front of him and said helplessly, "Now it's our turn to worry about ourselves."
At this time, Pei Zilie was in the Han army camp at the foot of Liupan Mountain in the northwest of Anding.
According to the news from the forward scouts, Murong Shifu has led his army to cross Wuwei and march to the southeast. They will cross the river soon and march to stabilize the situation.
News has also come from the Qiang people, who the Han Dynasty has been worried about, that the Qiang people also took action in the face of the Han army's simultaneous attacks from Wudu and Jincheng.
Various tribes of the Qiang people have set up a banner of "resistance to Han oppression" in Fuhan County and are confronting the Han army in Jincheng. At the same time, they are actively shrinking their defense lines in the direction of Wudu in the southeast, intending to lead the Han army into the Taoshui River.
area, relying on favorable terrain to wait for opportunities to seek decisive battles.
The number of Qiang soldiers and horses is not very large, so it is reasonable to reduce the number of troops and rely on the Huangshui and Taoshui rivers for defense and counterattack. However, whether the Qiang people can withstand the Han army's attack remains to be seen.
