Chapter 1366: Blocking
"Your Excellency!"
Hao Datong, Huangshan and Wei He were already determined to defect to Luo Xin at this time. On the one hand, they helped Luo Xin slaughter three cottages in a row, and there was no turning back at this time, and on the other hand, they also saw the end of the eighteen villages. And with the pie of winemaking, they are dead. At this time, Hao Datong patted his chest and said:
"My lord, don't worry, this time we will definitely open the door of the ninth village, and knock down the ninth village in one go, as long as the ninth village is defeated, the remaining cottage is a plate of loose sand. The lord of Liang Zhai in the ninth village is the leader of the entire mountain people, and the decision to join forces with Zhang Daoyuan is also what he decides. Therefore, as long as the ninth village is defeated and the lord of Liang Village is killed, all the mountain people will definitely surrender to the adults. ”
"No!" Luo Xin put a piece of dry food in his hand into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it and said, "The terrain of the Ninth Village does not allow us to do this.
You can't have too many people to open the mountain gate, and if there are too many, it will arouse the suspicion of the ninth village, and there will only be about a hundred people. The topography of the ninth village is very unfavorable for us.
There is a mountain road of more than 1,000 meters leading to the cottage gate, only two people wide, and there are cliffs on both sides. And when you go to open the mountain gate, we can't appear in the field of vision of the ninth village, so we must be at least two kilometers away from the mountain gate.
Inside the cottage gate, however, is a vast space, and more than a hundred of you will be surrounded in an instant, and I am afraid that in less than two quarters of an hour, you will be wiped out.
And what can we do in two quarters of an hour?
Only two people can walk side by side at a time. How many reinforcements can I give you?
And I'm talking about destroying you in two quarters of an hour, but it won't take me more than half an hour to regain control of the mountain path, so we don't have a chance at all. ”
"That'...... What to do? Hao Datong's expression froze.
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Listen to me." On the other hand, I came this time to wipe out the entire eighteen villages, if I wiped out the ninth village in advance like this, and the rest of the cottages fled, wouldn't it be cheaper for them? And more importantly, I want to wipe out Zhang Daoyuan's people. Therefore, leave the ninth village for the time being, and the rest of the cottages will not flee, but will come to reinforce the ninth village. ”
"Reinforcements?" He Xinyin's eyes lit up.
"Not bad!" Luo Xin clapped his hands and said, "We'll divide our troops now." ”
His gaze looked at General Wang and said, "General Wang." ”
"The last general!"
"If I ask you to guard the intersection of these two people, not to attack the ninth village, but to stay there, and not let the people of the ninth village rush out, how many people do you need?"
"Just guarding the two-person cliff crossing? No offense? General Wang asked in amazement.
"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded.
"Five thousand, no, three thousand is enough." General Wang said firmly.
"Okay, I'll give you 10,000."
"No!"
"Listen to me." Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "Give you 10,000 people, you have to scatter a lot of scouts, in case there are mountain people attacking from behind you, in the direction of the eighth village." Although this possibility is almost non-existent, it has to be guarded against. ”
"The last will understand."
"Remember, if something goes wrong, you can come and see you."
"Honorable Order."
"You will lead 10,000 men at once."
"Yes!"
General Wang ordered 10,000 people and marched towards the ninth village.
"No!" He Xinyin looked at the back of the 10,000 people leaving, thought about it and said, "I really have to beware of Liang Longtou summoning the mountain people to attack from behind General Wang's back. You have given General Wang fewer soldiers. ”
"There is almost no such possibility, I remind General Wang, just in case, we will immediately detour to the back gate of the ninth village, where it is also a two-kilometer wide cliff passage, as long as we seal the crossing, the people of the ninth village will not be able to get out at all, what way can they gather the mountain people?"
"You're going to besiege the Ninth Village?" He Xinyin raised his eyebrows.
"How so?" Luo Xin said with a smile.
"Tell the truth." He Xinyin frowned tightly and said: "This ninth village is really not easy to fight, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trench, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a moat. There was only one road to the outside world in front of and behind the cottage, and each road was on a cliff only two people wide and a kilometer long, so the numerical advantage was lost. Not to mention that we have 80,000 people, it is 800,000, and 8 million people are useless. The opponent only has a few hundred men, and he will be able to block our attack.
Not to mention......
There are more than a few hundred people on the other side, and there are nearly 20,000 people who can participate in the battle.
Therefore, I think that a forcible attack is unwise and ineffective, and the only way is to besiege. Presumably, the grain stock in the ninth village will not be too much, and it will definitely not last for a year. When they don't have food, it's us who take the initiative and they are passive. They must rush out or they will starve to death.
Therefore, for us, the best strategy is to besiege, and we can also use this to encircle the point and send reinforcements. ”
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I don't have time." ”
He Xinyin opened his mouth, but finally closed his mouth. He knows Luo Xin's situation very well, the situation in the capital is very bad without thinking, and the impeachment of Luo Xin must be like snowflakes, if Luo Xin can't end this battle with lightning speed, I'm afraid it will fall short.
"And what are you going to do?"
"Besiege, encircle points to send reinforcements and take the initiative to attack, and more flowers."
"Take the initiative?"
"Hmm!" Qin Shuang nodded, and then sent someone to call Hao Datong, Huang Shan, and Wei He.
After a while, Hao Datong, Huang Shan and Wei He trotted over together and saluted Luo Xinshi:
"Meet your lord!"
"Sit!"
"Master Xie."
"There is a road from here to the Houzhai Gate of the Ninth Village, right?"
"Yes!" Hao Datong nodded and said: "The road is not difficult to walk, but it is a long road to detour." ”
"It takes two and a half days to get to the front gate of the ninth village from here, how long does it take for us to take a detour to the back gate?"
Hao Datong calculated the time and said, "It will take at least five days." ”
"Then there is a way to the eighteenth village from here?"
"Yes, but there are a few sections that are very difficult to walk."
"How long does it take to walk?"
"Need ......" Hao Datong, Huang Shan and Wei He discussed, and finally Hao Datong said: "It will take at least eighteen days." ”
Luo Xin thought for a while, then opened the map, called General Li over, and said: "General Li, I will also give you 5,000 people, and after handing over Huangshan and his 6,000 people to you, a total of 11,000 people, immediately rush to the back gate of the ninth village, block it under the cliff that is two people wide and thousands of meters long, and prevent a thief from rushing out, can you do it?" ”
