"I hate them the most about robbers, they don't have the guts at all."

Inside the big tent, Ma Chao sighed and said: I originally thought that those thieves who dared to attack the exchange either took the wrong medicine or had water in their brains. But after some acting in the morning, Ma Chao found that those thieves did not fall for the scheme, which made Ma Chao very hurt.

This time, Ma Chao brought 3,000 veterans of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and more than 7,000 captured recruits in order to seek speed. The rest of the soldiers stayed in Fufeng County. After all, Han Sui was coming, maybe he would stab and rob Fufeng County. At that time, even if he killed Han Ying and Yan Xing to vent his anger, the base was gone, and it would still be useless.

Of course, the possibility of Han Sui daring to attack Fufeng County was already very small. But Ma Chao didn't dare to take this risk-Li Kan and Cheng Yin's lessons hadn't passed long ago—besides, Han Sui didn't move, and there were other thieves who were red-eyed, and Fufeng County had already become a sweet spot in the eyes of those thieves in Yongliang and Sili.

It's good now, those sons of the Qiang tribe have gone back. After acting in a play, You Chu also went back. I was left with myself, so I had to play with those thieves slowly.

Hard attack?

Ma Chao shook his head, this is not his style. Besides, if you attack the city with cavalry, even if you capture it, the loss is not what you want to see: the courage of the horseman is always the best strategy, more than deterrent, but not enough to control ten thousand people.

In particular, killing 1,000 enemies and destroying 800 of yourself, not to mention using cavalry to attack the city, is even more of a brain-dead practice of self-destruction of 1,000......

Therefore, a planned siege can not only cultivate the overall view of your subordinates. It can also more effectively deter Han Sui, as well as convince You Chu.

Of course, this may also encourage his subordinates to change in a more insidious way.

However, Ma Chao just likes this. As a result, those bigwigs under him were pulled by Ma Chao to a meeting.

Except for Jia Fox, among these people, Yang Fu should know the art of war the most. And Yang Fu also lived up to expectations, quite a bit of cunning and cunning, and the central point of view is: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Yang Fu's first sentence is like this: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." If he wants to get the city, he must first enter it by the gap. If you want to get the city, you must know what is going on in it. If you want to know the situation of the city, how can you get it from the non-spy room? If you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose more, and there is no other mystery in the meantime. ”

Ma Chao translated these words with everyone, and estimated the general meaning of Yang Fu: If you want to attack the city, you must first know what those thieves in the city are like. Therefore, first send someone to reconnoiter and spy to see what kind of sore feet they have, and then analyze the specific situation, catch his sore feet, and strike a hard blow, the chances of victory are relatively large.

Since Yang Fu said so, Ma Chao had no other way, so he ordered the army to camp and rest temporarily, and ordered Brother Chou to quietly lead his shadow to investigate the intelligence of Xinping County. It's also thanks to Ma Chao that he arranged manpower in Xinping and Beidi counties as early as a month ago, and now it's just to pass on information. I believe that those Shadows who have been instructed by themselves will have a lot of solutions.

After the order was conveyed, Ma Chao began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us. This time, although Ma Chao said that it was an unintentional work, this move can be regarded as a necessary topic for the military generals of the Xiliang Ma family before the war in the future. And this battle was also absorbed by the military training hall as a classic case for those low-level officers to study and discuss in the future.

"The advantage of the thieves is that they are numerous, and they have the advantages of high walls, thick walls, and equipment to defend the city. Moreover, his chief, also has some military vision. Pound first stated these obvious circumstances, and continued: "And their disadvantages are that military discipline is disorderly, people's hearts are panicked, and their combat effectiveness is not high. And most of them are from rogue backgrounds, and they are not very familiar with the defense of the city. ”

"And the advantage of our army is just the opposite of that of the thieves, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, our army is cavalry, and if it is used in siege warfare, it will suffer heavy losses." Ma Chao concluded that there seems to be no need to analyze this. The top priority is to see if Yang Fu has any good ideas.

"Whoever fights, with the right combination, with the odd victory. Raise an army to destroy the enemy, and the place where the battle will be fought and the day when the division arrives, will be predicted. Knowing the battlefield and the day of the war, the prepared person is specialized, so that the enemy can come as scheduled. And the strength of the city, the number of city defenses, knowing its benefits, the battle will be victorious. ”

Yang Fu's second sentence is actually not as good as the first sentence, in fact, since Ma Chao crossed over, he has never fought an upright regular battle, and he has always taken the sword sideways. is either a conspiracy or a trick, which is very in line with the points of surprise victory in the book of war.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and carefully reviewed the essentials of those matters that need to be paid attention to in siege warfare. Although there is a spectrum in my heart, there is still no substantial progress.

In the end, it was the shadow of the ugly brother who broke the deadlock. Because they brought back a crucial message: there is a shortage of food in the city!

Ma Chao thinks about it, it is only less than June, the old grain has almost been eaten, and the new grain has not yet been harvested. And Xinping County is not as rich as Fufeng County, after 20,000 thieves came at once, how could there be so much food enough for those thieves to eat?

When everyone heard the news, their eyes lit up. And especially Ma Chao and Fa Zheng, their eyes are as bright as light bulbs.

Ma Chao discovered Fa Zheng's abnormality, he waited for Fa Zheng's hair to recommend himself and give advice, but when Ma Chao saw Fa Zheng's eyes, Fa Zheng was upright and endured it again.

Fa Zheng managed military discipline for Liu Bei in history, how could he not understand the art of war and not know how to fight? Especially the previous move, it is clearly a manifestation that he already has an idea in his heart. And he didn't say it in the end, obviously wanting to see how Ma Chao took advantage of the enemy's sore feet.

'This little thing! I actually underestimate our Ma Family Group! Ma Chao hated it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Fa Zheng's psychology, he can be considered to have thoroughly figured out: 'This kid is still suspicious of himself for kidnapping him. Before, he deliberately showed his hand before sending out the troops, but at this time he stopped speaking. Obviously, I want to see the capabilities of the Ma Family Group!

The heart is arrogant, the heart is arrogant. But that's fine, this time I deliberately left him out in the cold. Let him know how powerful the Ma family group is. In the future, as long as he gradually dilutes and marginalizes him, this kid will think that his ability has been insulted, and he will definitely work hard to show himself! ’

After the plan was decided, Ma Chao immediately said what he thought in his head. At the same time, let everyone refer to it. And everyone's starting point is different, and it is natural to improve all the defects and loopholes. In less than an hour, the plan against the gang of thieves in Xinping County was freshly released.

And Fa Zheng on the side was a little dumbfounded, and in this hour, he was listening quietly. But the more I listened to it, the more shocked I became: this group of people seemed to have a talent for playing conspiracy and trickery, and what everyone said was to the point and targeted. And when it comes to closing those loopholes and doing it perfectly, the eyes will shine!

'These demons...... Those poor thieves in Tan Binh County, you can rest in peace. Fa Zheng lamented in his heart: "This kind of trick is not just a few thieves, even if you don't hear it with your own ears, I'm afraid you will fall into it!" ’

For a while, Fa Zheng regretted his previous reserve. Because he found that these people don't need to be themselves at all, they can come up with an impeccable plan, and even more perfect than their own plan!

In the end, Fa Zheng saw the brocade-clothed young man showing that weird smile at him, and his heart was full of chagrin.
