Li Wenzhong suppressed his anger and explained with a smile: "Military advisors have little experience in battles and do not know the treacherous tactics of war. If the enemy thieves really only have three hundred, they will definitely place them in strategic points in the hinterland to act as surprise troops, instead of
Put it out so early...
This was clearly an attempt to keep the enemy outside the county, so I concluded that after the White Cavalry, there must be strong troops... If we don't withdraw at this time, it will be too late for Qingqing to withdraw..."
The monk looked at Li Wenzhong dubiously: "General, don't try to trick me. No matter how ignorant the monk is about soldiers, he also understands the principle of using emptiness to make reality, and using reality to make emptiness. What if the enemy is bluffing?
Furthermore, the request to march westward to open up the main road was made by you personally, the general. If you withdraw without even taking a shot, how should the general explain it to your brother and the King of France?"
Li Wenzhong roared angrily: "It's the King of France who is calling the one who only has 300 county soldiers..."
The monk gave him a sideways glance: "When the troops were tortured and defeated, wasn't the general present? Seven or eight of the defeated troops said this, how could it be false? And it is true that there were only three hundred. Whether there are still more, we have to wait.
Let’s talk about it later…”
Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth in hatred.
When you really see it, you won’t even have time to cry...
Damn you bald thief, if you want to die, why don’t you hold Grandpa on your back?
The more the monk insisted, the more frightened Li Wenzhong became.
He always had a premonition that a big disaster was about to happen...
I was thinking about how to convince Fa Ming when I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.
With a long sound of "report...", a soldier rushed into the door, knelt on the ground on one knee, and said urgently: "General Bing, military counselor, the white-armored cavalry is here again..."
Li Wenzhong was horrified: "How many and where are they?"
"The number of cavalry doubled, and they were divided into two groups. One came along the Red River, and the other came along the Ru River...except for the cavalry, there were no more thieves after that..."
Double that and it’s six hundred!
Even if he could really defeat ten against one, he still wouldn’t have enough 6,000 soldiers...
Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth in hatred and roared angrily: "Military advisor, it is difficult to retreat even if you want to retreat at this time..."
"With only 600 enemy cavalry, can the general be frightened like this?"
Fa Ming looked puzzled, "Even if we really can't win, we just have to occupy the village and defend it. This enemy cavalry has no siege equipment, how dare they hit the horse and hit the wall?
And this place is only two hundred miles away from Wuzhi. If you send a quick horse to report, it will arrive in half a day. If the King of France and Brother Ling can send armored cavalry to help, it will only take one day at most... Could it be that the general cannot hold it for even two days?
?"
You know shit!
Do you know what it means to beat a drowned dog, and what it means to pick the weak ones and pinch them?
Hu Duo, the governor of Longdong County, likes to play with the wind. If he sees an opportunity to exploit, what if he has the courage to come and take advantage?
The huge city of Jingyang requires a lot of siege equipment, but even the current capital can't be built in time.
Just this 10-foot-high village wall can be demolished in less than half a day...
Do you blame yourself for being careless and choosing to camp here?
Li Wenzhong was so surprised that he didn't want to say more to Fa Ming. He just snorted coldly: "Commander, follow me to the wall. You will know after seeing it..."
……
Even though they were still nearly ten miles away, Li Wenzhong still saw an earth dragon rising from the river in the north and south, approaching eastward.
Just looking at the smoke and dust, the formation is not that big, only five or six hundred riders at most. Looking back, there is no smoke and dust rising, so I guess they have no more troops.
But the strange thing is that there are not many soldiers, so why do we need to divide them?
Are you trying to outflank him?
But with only cavalry, what’s the use of surrounding the farm?
Taking a closer look to the south, Li Wenzhong felt a little more at ease.
Hu Duo is the most bully and afraid of the strong. He is also suspicious and has no idea whether it is an advantage or a big trap. He will definitely not mix things up randomly.
If the enemy army really only has these 600 armored cavalry, although they cannot win, it will be fine if they stick to it...
It's strange. If this enemy general is really a man who knows his tactics, shouldn't he not even understand the principle of luring the enemy in?
If you replace the enemy general with yourself, you will definitely hide your troops in the dark. When the enemy attacks or retreats, you will then protrude your cavalry and block the middle to kill...
And he was walking so slowly, as if he were on a spring outing?
Li Wenzhong always felt that there was something fishy, but he racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, so he had to send detective horses to approach again to find out why the enemy came so slowly?
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. After several kilograms of copper were rewarded, dozens of riders rushed to the banks of the two rivers.
About two moments later, the smoke dispersed, and the white riders on both sides of the river seemed to have stopped. Li Wenzhong estimated that it was only five or six miles away from the farm.
From time to time, the exploratory cavalry sent out also returned one after another, but none of them was damaged.
It seems that they were too close, and the enemy generals were afraid of being lured in, so they did not dare to pursue him.
"General, the enemy cavalry is parked on the bank and seems to be throwing something into the Red River?"
"The same is true here in Ruhe. I got off my horse and took a bold taste. I noticed that the river water was slightly bitter, so I brought a bag back..."
Throwing something into the river?
The hairs all over Li Wenzhong stood on end!
He yelled: "Send it up..."
Tan Qi immediately drove his horse to the wall and threw a cowhide water bag up.
After just a little licking, Li Wenzhong's face turned as pale as dirt.
Arsenic...
He finally understood why there were only 600 enemy cavalry, but they still had to divide their troops on both sides of the strait, and they came so slowly like a spring outing.
Because the poison is too far away, it won't have much toxicity when it rushes over, so the closer, the better.
It came too fast, and I was startled. Maybe all the troops would come out to fight. Where could I give him the time to calmly poison him?
It was because he discovered that there were corpses in the river. In order to ensure the safety of the water source as much as possible, he chose to march and camp in the middle of the two rivers.
But you didn't expect that the enemy general would be so vicious and just come to the bottom of the cauldron to drain his salary?
Even before the battle, you want to cut off your own water source and disrupt your military morale?
How can you keep this?
"What is it?"
Seeing that Li Wenzhong looked wrong, Faming subconsciously came to grab the water bag, but found that Li Wenzhong's hands were like iron hoops...
"Arsenic..." Li Wenzhong roared.

Fa Ming's hands shook in fright, and before he could even open his mouth, a big hand pressed down on him.
"You don't want to live anymore? If the soldiers know that the water source has been cut off, who will still be willing to fight against the enemy, let alone two days, I'm afraid they won't be able to defend even half a day..."
"This...how could this enemy do such a thing..." The monk was so shocked that he couldn't even say anything.
"When two armies fight, each relies on his own means. As long as he can win, it doesn't matter whether he does anything or not?"
Li Wenzhong said with eyes splitting, "What a shame, I was so careless that I didn't expect..."
"I have advised you to go out to fight as soon as possible..." Fa Ming complained angrily, but then he thought about it, what can he do at half an hour in the morning?
The Red River, the Ru River, and the Jing River about fifty miles to the south all originate from the Kongtong Mountains and flow from west to east. The enemy occupies the geographical area and can poison them whenever they want...
He asked in surprise, "What should we do now? Should we withdraw, fight, or defend?"
"The enemies are all armored cavalry, and they are all large Rouran horses. These more than a thousand miscellaneous cavalry can't stop us at all... Just the tail title can kill us. How do you retreat?"
Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth and said, "But when it comes to guarding... God knows how many poisons the thieves have in their hands, and how toxic the water is? The water in the two rivers is already undrinkable, but with these two wells in Zhuangzi, even a thousand
We can't even support people, let alone five thousand soldiers and more than a thousand mules and horses..."
Fa Ming sighed sadly: "The only thing left is to fight!"
Just now, he had tried every means to persuade Li Wenzhong to start the war as soon as possible, but now he was worried.
Just because the enemy's actions are too weird, it seems that they are planning to force us out of the farm and fight to the death...
A monk can think of this, how could Li Wenzhong not think of it?
But if we delay any longer, once the soldiers know that the water source has been cut off, I am afraid that they will not even be able to raise the last bit of fighting spirit and morale, and they will not only be defeated, but completely defeated...
Almost trapped in a desperate situation, Li Wenzhong knew he was being cheated, so he could only fight to the death.
He couldn't figure out why the situation would take a turn for the worse after just one night, forcing him to fight desperately?
But now is not the time to delve into this issue.
Li Wenzhong let out a fierce breath and said in a deep voice: "For the current plan, we can only fight to the death... It may not be possible to find a way to survive..."
The monk hesitated a little: "You said before that there must be strong soldiers behind the thieves and cavalry, so there is no chance of winning?"
"If you look at the smoke and dust, the enemy army should only have five or six hundred cavalry... Even if there is a strong army, it should be twenty or thirty miles away, otherwise there will be smoke and dust rising from the west... If there is a strong army behind, these six hundred cavalry
It must be a force that lures the enemy. As long as we leave the camp, we will definitely retreat..."
This means that you can tell whether the enemy has strong troops or not by just trying it.
Fa Ming gritted his teeth: "Then let's give it a try and see..."
