The moth thieves screamed frantically and climbed up the ramparts, but they met more stubborn resistance, and while their bodies were still in the air, they were killed by several spears or ring-headed knives piercing their chests and abdomen.

Li Xiang screamed and killed several people in a row, panting but still shouting, in his shouts, more and more moth thieves fell on the top of the city, fell at the foot of the city wall, and the corpses were all over the field.

Fierce rush to kill but not tragic, the number of moth thieves who really put into the battle array is not many, but this is still the case that still caused considerable losses to the Han army, that is, after this attack was repulsed, the city of Ancheng, which had been noisy for a day, finally regained its tranquility, looking at the moth thief Li Xiang who retreated like a tide, gasping for breath, the attack interval of the moth thief is getting shorter and shorter, and the time is getting longer and longer.

At the same time, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded in the direction of Laishui, and everyone cheered at this moment, and the Han soldiers raised their hands and thundered with joy, welcoming the return of the old brother Zhang Zheng, and welcoming the cavalry from Youbeiping, the legendary cavalry soldiers.

"Zhang Zheng is here, Gongsun Fan has finally arrived."

Liu Lan stood first to welcome the two who had been looking forward to it for a long time, and the foal followed him, very docile, and kept rubbing against him, those horses from far and near were originally running happily, but suddenly found that the foal in front of him, especially the foal, stopped his vigorous body after neighing, not to mention the war horses from Lu Longsai who had been bullied by him, even the war horses around him were silent one by one. Including their masters, how many escaped from his hooves? So far, it has left sequelae, and when I heard the hissing sound, I subconsciously retreated. It's the first time they've encountered such a ruthless brute.

Gongsun Fan and Zhang Zheng turned over and dismounted one after another, and old friends inevitably met politely, in fact, the friendship with Gongsun Fan was really rare, that is, there were a few times when they were in Lu Longsai, and they didn't say a word, but anyway, they could be regarded as having a one-sided relationship, and after greeting Gongsun Fan, they explained the current battle situation for Gongsun Fan. The moth thieves ran out of food and grass, and after learning that the troops who had fled to Yu County to fight the autumn wind were defeated and returned, there were only two possibilities: one was to attack on a large scale, and the other was to storm Gu'an. So we're going to be prepared for both.

Liu Lan and Gongsun Fan recruited all the officers above the level of the commander of the department, and deployed the first plan is how to prevent the crazy counterattack of the moth thieves, and the second plan is to resolve the siege of Gu'an.

After the negotiations were settled, the troops began to assemble again.

And on the occasion of the Han army's division. After escaping for two days and one night, the Moth Thief Solid Division finally arrived at the city of Gu'an at dusk, and after hearing the news of the fiasco, Cheng Yuanzhi hurriedly collected his troops and discussed with the generals and schools the direction of the army's future actions.

After everyone arrived, Cheng Yuanzhi did not have any politeness to get straight to the point, and said: "The fiasco of attacking Gu'an City in the past few days and adding the Sugu side has shown that we have fallen into Liu Lan's suspicious strategy, but it is precisely because of this that Ancheng can be said to be broken, if the Gu'an is flattened, that is, the door to enter Zhuo County is opened, and Liu Lan's side is not worried, but if we go around and ignore it, but go straight to Liu Lan and fight to the death, and the main force of the Han army can be annihilated on the Laishui line, In this way, whether it is to turn the horse's head and fight Gu'an again or go north to fight the county, it will be like a bamboo, but just like Zhenggu said. In the first plan, we need to guard against Liu Lan and Gu An's front and back attacks, and in the second plan, we have to worry about food and grass, so everyone talks about their thoughts. What do we do next? ”

Su Gu glanced at the few people who were talking around, and saw Bai Xiaozi come out of the ranks, and said: "Qu Shuai is like a god with soldiers, and he must have a good strategy to break the thief, and the last general is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, but Qu Shuai's order is obeyed." ”

There was a sneer in his eyes. Although he said a lot, he didn't say a word for a long time, if he really wanted to say something. Maybe it's just a few words of flattery and the loyalty he expressed, as for the ball that Cheng Yuanzhi kicked to everyone, he cleverly kicked it back, if he didn't know that the two didn't ventilate in advance, otherwise he would have thought that it was just a double reed performance that the two had colluded to show everyone earlier, but it was precisely like this, when he said such irresponsible flattery, he would let out a mocking laugh in his heart.

He came out of the ranks and said: "Now that the Han army Liu Lan is on the front line of Laishui, if I arrive with a large army, then he will definitely not deploy on the south bank of Laishui, which has no danger to defend, and the north bank is still unsafe, but there is a Laishui that is considered to be half dangerous, so if Qu Shuai wants to lead the army forward, Liu Lan Bacheng will also fortify like in Yishui, but Laishui has an incomparable superiority that Yishui can't match, that is, he is closer to Zhuo County and Zhuo County, If these two places send reinforcements, or even pour out of the nest, they can arrive in an instant, so in Laishui and the Han army at any time, it may become a decisive battle with the Han army, and if our army can not win quickly, then after the food and grass are exhausted, it will inevitably be defeated on the whole line, so the decisive battle between Laishui and the Han army is really a strategy, and it is not optional. ”

"You're right, this is what I've been worried about, the Han army is likely to lure the enemy deep by giving up the Guyan Great Wall and the Yishui line in a row, if the Han army is really deployed like this, then the Han army will inevitably encounter the main force in Laishui, then we will never be able to make a move."

Cheng Yuanzhi frowned, then glanced at a few people, sighed and shook his head in his heart, and finally stared at Zheng Gu again, he should have been killed for such a fiasco, but look at the rice buckets around him, if he beheads this only person who understands, what will he do to fight with the Han army? Qiang squeezed out a smile and said: "Since it is impossible to go to Laishui to fight, there is only one way to attack Gu'an, but since you want to attack Gu'an, you must guard against Liu Lan's sneak attack." ”

"Qu Shuai, why did Liu Lan sneak attack instead of attacking us?" A general didn't understand a little, since he said that Zhuoxian County would send troops to support, and even if it would be poured out, the number of Han troops should exceed them, do you still need a sneak attack, just kill them directly and attack them with the defenders in Gu'an City.

"Yes, Qu Shuai, if Liu Lan doesn't even dare to attack us, let alone say that he will sneak attack, so we still have to hurry up and lay down the old peace, so that we can raise tens of thousands of horses, and then the soldiers will have food and will go straight to Laishui, not to mention that the Han army of Yuxian County will pour out of the nest, and it will be okay for the entire Zhuo County to pour out of the nest."

Idiot, big idiot. Cheng Zhiyuan was almost amused by the ridiculous remarks of these two people, his face immediately fell, and he said coldly: "The Han army dares to come out of the nest because it is close to Laishui and can return to help at any time. Don't forget that we are having a three-way army coming to Zhuoxian, so the bottom line of the Han army in Zhuoxian County is, to put it bluntly, just a line of Laishui, and no matter how far it goes, we dare not move. ”

"No wonder Liu Lan only dared to sneak attack." The two of them were flushed, and their faces were full of embarrassment, if it weren't for Qu Shuai saying that they really didn't expect that there would be such a layer of meaning in it. (To be continued)
