After hearing Fazheng's words, Zhao Yun felt relieved and smiled. However, Wei Yan, who was on the side, focused on how to meet the challenge next. Wei Yan pointed to the east of Xuantu City on the map and said, "Why don't we do it here?"
Set up an ambush east of Xuantu City, and when the Goguryeo army arrives, we will catch them off guard! How about that?"
Even though Wei Yanchang was tall and thick, he was very careful and the plans in his mind were no worse than those of Fazheng and Liao Li. His words made Fazheng and Liao Li's eyes light up at the same time. But soon Fazheng was
He shook his head and said: "General Wei's plan is a good one, but the problem is that we don't have enough time now! There is a plain terrain to the east of Xuantu City. If we want to ambush, we must create something like hills that can hide us.
Okay, but with our current manpower, it’s impossible to complete this before Goguryeo’s army arrives at Xuantu City!”
It is true that Wei Yan currently has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Zhao Yun, but it is impossible for all of these soldiers to dig and fill the hills. If they cannot recharge their batteries, then even if they can ambush the Goguryeo army, the soldiers will not be able to attack the Goguryeo army.
We are unable to kill the enemy! So we can only rely on nearly one-tenth of the soldiers in the army to carry out these things. This number is already the limit! It is impossible to do all this in such a short period of time with such a small number of people.
The preparation and manpower issue are now a thorny issue before everyone!
Liao Li frowned and suddenly said: "I have a way! This time the Goguryeo army came to attack Xuantu City. If Xuantu City was attacked, the people who would suffer the most would be the people of Xuantu City! How about we
By driving the people to fill the hills for us, we are also doing our part to protect their own homes, and I believe they will not refuse!"
"Well! This is a good idea!" Wei Yan and Fazheng's eyes lit up. Fazheng nodded and said, "You can give it a try! I believe that the people of Xuantu City are not willing to be oppressed by the Goguryeo people.
!”
Wei Yan and Zhao Yun also looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Zhao Yun immediately shouted to the two deputies who had been sitting aside without speaking: "Song Xian! Wei Xu! You two will be responsible for this matter and lead them."
Go and gather all the people in the city! Remember, your attitude cannot be too tough, and don’t arouse the people’s resentment towards us!”
Originally, there were three deputies who came with the army this time. In addition to Song Xian and Wei Xu, there was also Pound. But now Pound was sent by Wei Yan to the military camp to be responsible for settling the soldiers, so this matter was only
Leave it to Song Xian and Wei Xu to handle it!
However, Song Xian and Wei Xu are not incompetent people. Although they have not made any great achievements since they took refuge under Luoyang's tent in Luoyang, they have also helped Zhao Yun handle various military affairs and can be regarded as Zhao Yun's good helpers.
This matter is not a difficult matter. Zhao Yun is relieved to leave it to the two of them.
Song Xian and Wei Xuzheng felt bored sitting there. Unlike Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, what the two of them were best at was leading the charge into battle. This kind of mental work was not suitable for them. It happened that Zhao Yun gave the order, and so did the two of them.
He immediately accepted the order and left. Immediately afterwards, Fazheng said again: "We'd better be prepared with both hands. If the enemy sees through the ambush plan, we must also be able to take countermeasures in time! According to what General Zhao asked before
According to the confession, most of Goguryeo's army is dominated by infantry. In this plain terrain, the power of cavalry can be brought into full play! It is better to leave the ambush to the light cavalry, while the heavy cavalry ambushes.
Behind the city gate, if the enemy sees through the ambush, General Wei will lead his heavy cavalry to rush out! I believe it will definitely achieve miraculous results!"
In fact, what Fazheng said is also the conventional tactics used by Zhao Yun and Wei Yan in the past three years. The heavy cavalry is amazingly powerful, but unfortunately it is not flexible enough, while the flexible movement ability of the light cavalry can just make up for this.
Shortcomings! In the battles with the Huns and Xianbei, they always used the light cavalry to protect the two wings, and then let the heavy cavalry charge towards the enemy!
The use of heavy cavalry caused great losses to even the princes of Guandong, not to mention the barbarians who only knew how to run rampant! It was precisely by relying on this tactic that in the past three years, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were able to completely eliminate the power of the Xiongnu and Xianbei.
Disintegration! Now to deal with Goguryeo, Fazheng decided to rely on the coordinated tactics of the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry.
Neither Zhao Yun nor Wei Yan had any objections to this point. The four of them customized the entire tactical plan in detail, and finally made the decision. At this time, Song Xian and Wei Xuque, who had just gone out not long ago,
He walked in with a strange look on his face. Song Xian clasped his fists at Zhao Yun and Wei Yan and said, "General Zhao! General Wei! A large group of people came outside the inn. They seemed to be common people in the city, and there was also a bad guy.
Old man, he keeps asking to see you, general!"
"Old man?" Zhao Yun and others looked at each other with doubts on their faces. Especially Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was already deeply impressed by what kind of situation Xuantu City was like before. In Zhao Yun's view, these Xuantu City
The people even feel numb about their future. Unless they are forced to live no longer, they will definitely not meddle in other people's business! At the moment, Song Xian and Wei Xu definitely haven't had time to attack the Goguryeo army.
Let's talk about it, what does it mean for these people to come here suddenly?
Strangely enough, since people have come to the door, Zhao Yun and others will naturally not be shy. Immediately, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan took the lead and walked out of the inn, followed closely by Fazheng and Liao Li.
Because of the previous battle, the hall of the inn had been changed beyond recognition, so the place they had discussed previously was in the backyard of the inn. Now they walked out of the backyard, and before they even reached the door, they heard the sound coming from the front.
There were bursts of noise. Listening to the noise, there were quite a few people surrounding the city!
Zhao Yun frowned, but his heart became more and more strange. He immediately did not dare to delay and walked quickly towards the door. When they opened the door, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan felt that there was a huge darkness in front of them, and they were already surrounded at the door of the inn.
Someone! If those soldiers hadn't blocked the door of the inn with sharp blades, I'm afraid these people would have rushed in!
When they saw Zhao Yun and Wei Yan coming out, although the people didn't recognize them, they guessed that Zhao Yun and others must be the people they were waiting for. They all started shouting, and a few people even had the courage to go to Zhao Yun and wait for them.
People rushed over. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan both frowned. Wei Yan was also unambiguous. He raised his hand and shouted to the soldiers guarding the inn: "Everyone, listen to the order! If anyone dares to be arrogant, stay on the spot."
Kill!"
The last four words of Wei Yan were simply shouted out, and most of those soldiers were Li Duan heavy cavalry under Wei Yan. After receiving Wei Yan's general order, all the soldiers immediately picked up the Li Duan heavy cavalry standard equipment.
The horse-zapping sword is across the chest! Looking at them like that, if anyone really dares to attack their defense line, I am afraid that the horse-zapping sword in their hands will fall down without hesitation!
Wei Yan's roar and the murderous aura emanating from these soldiers finally suppressed these common people. After all, no one was willing to risk their own lives to test whether the other party would actually take action! Gradually, those who were noisy just now
The people all fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to an old man standing in the middle of the crowd.
It seems that the old man must be fifty or sixty years old. He is wearing a long gown made of ordinary fabrics. However, the long gown is all white and looks very neat. On the old man's head, he also wears a white high hat.
, but it seemed a bit strange. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were stunned at the same time, but they quickly realized that this old man should be the bad old man Song Xian just mentioned! Now it seems that this person should be one of these people.
The leader of the troubled people is here!
Immediately, I saw the old man taking a step forward, facing the murderous soldiers in front, but his face was calm and unfazed. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Yun and others for a long time, and then he handed over to Zhao Yun and others.
After bowing, he said: "Young old man is a citizen of Xuantu City. I heard that the generals led their armies to station in Xuantu City. Originally, we, the common people who were promoted to Dou, were not qualified to take care of the affairs of the generals. As soon as your army entered Xuantu City.
, it would be too overbearing to block the gates of Xuantu City and prevent the people from leaving the city! Even if the generals have military power, they should not hinder the lives of the people! The villain is here to hope that you will
The general can open up the net and unblock the city gate, but he must not affect the freedom of the people in the city!"
After hearing the old man's words, Zhao Yun and others realized that Ganqing had come because of the order Wei Yan had set to seal the city gate. Wei Yan had just mentioned this matter to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun certainly would not think that Wei Yan had done anything wrong.
What, even if Wei Yan didn't do this, Zhao Yun would have ordered the city gate to be sealed. However, the old man's words aroused the interest of Zhao Yun and others. How could an ordinary old man have such courage to face Li Du?
It's not easy for a heavy horseman to say such strong words with his horse-cutting sword. Zhao Yun and others immediately realized that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person!
If it weren't for this old man, how could Zhao Yun and others take care of so many people? They would just send people to blow away these troublemaking people. Blocking Xuantu City can also prevent the news from leaking and put the Goguryeo army on guard. This is also for
Hello, common people. However, the appearance of the old man in front of them made Zhao Yun and others' eyes light up. Zhao Yundang even smiled and clasped his fists at the old man and said: "Old man! We ordered the city to be sealed off, but we had no choice but to do so!
There are a lot of people talking here, so I might as well come with me to talk in detail!"
