Bai Yingruo came to Yang Chen after careful consideration, she felt that when Liaocheng was in danger now, talents were too important. And Yang Chen is precisely the one who came to Xiaocheng to meet rare talents. If Yang Chen helps, the current danger of Liaocheng may be solved.

At this moment, Bai Yingruo led Yang Chen all the way to the top of the city wall, Cao Zheng and his catcher were there, and after seeing Yang Chen and Bai Yingruo, he hurriedly bent over and said, "Lord Yang, are you here too?" ”

Yang Chen nodded, seeing that Bai Yingruo and Cao Zheng were acquainted, he knew that Bai Yingruo had probably seen Cao Zheng a long time ago.

This is not a strange thing, the gold medal was given by Bai Yingruo, a single gold medal can bluff Cao Zheng, Bai Yingruo's identity is revealed, it is estimated that Cao Zheng's grandson Cao Zheng is willing.

It's just that he is not interested in Bai Yingruo's identity now, and he gasped when he looked at the mighty army under the city.

There are too many people, and a large area of black pressure is all people.

These people drained the entire city siege and made people's scalps tingle. Coupled with the clamor under the walls of these Dong'a people, they are all upset and demoralized!

"Cao Zheng, what are you still doing in a daze, there are so many refugees, why don't you save them?" Bai Yingruo stared at the suffering refugees below, and stomped her feet anxiously.

"Oh, my aunt, do I dare to save it?" Cao Zheng wanted to cry without tears, and looked at the Zancheng prisoner who was being guarded below: "I dare to open the city gate now, and I saved these two hundred lives, and thousands of lives in the city, who will be responsible?" ”

"There's always a way." Bai Yingruo pursed her lips, her face flushed and panting.

Yang Chen can be seen now, Bai Yingruo is afraid that he has no involvement in the art of war, otherwise he would not say such a thing.

Cao Zheng did not save people, which is indeed a wise move.

At this time, Cao Zheng turned helplessly: "Auntie, it's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't save it." Do you dare to say that among these refugees, there is no Dong'an spy or anything? Do you dare to say that they are all innocent of the people of Zancheng? I will bring them back, and when the time comes, they will join forces with the Dong'an army outside, will we still be okay in the city? ”

This made Yang Chen secretly look at Cao Zheng a few points, does this Cao Zheng still have some ability, at least he analyzes the situation very thoroughly, and he is not an absolute incompetent.

It seems that Cao Zheng can sit in today's position, and he is not relying on luck.

When Yang Chen was thinking, he suddenly spoke: "Lord Cao, how many people are there in this Dong'a?" ”

"According to the report of our spies, there are five thousand to say less!" Cao Zheng's five fingers were erected. "This is still an estimate, a piece of black press, it is difficult to discern how much. But the number of 5,000 is approximate. No more. ”

"What about us?" Yang Chen said.

"We only have 3,000 elite soldiers, plus those strong men, if we are full, we will only have 3,500." Cao Zheng smiled bitterly.

Yang Chen touched his chin: "We are the side defending the city, this number, it's not that we don't have to fight." ”

"Lord Yang, this Li'er subordinate naturally knows it, but those Dong'a people are as cunning as foxes. They really want to storm the city, hey, of course we are not afraid of the city. The archers couldn't shoot them at all. We have a city wall, but they are surrounded here, not fighting, and not retreating. ”

The root of Cao Zhengqi's teeth itched: "Think about it, they are surrounded here, grain and grass can't be transported in, and the current situation in our city can't be reported, and reinforcements can't be sent." This day is fine, two days, three days, ten days, thirty days. Sooner or later, we will not have enough food in our city. When the time comes, the soldiers will starve to death, and they will die of exhaustion, how will they fight? ”

This made Yang Chen touch his chin, and secretly said that the Dong'a people were really as cunning as foxes.

"Moreover, from time to time, the Dong'an people also play some conspiracy, such as this refugee captive. They didn't show up yesterday, so they waited for this one. Don't you just want me to open the gates? As soon as I open it, I'm afraid that the city will be destroyed immediately. ”

Bai Yingruo heard that the situation was not good, and after turning around twice, she looked at Yang Chen: "Yang Chen, what can you do." ”

Yang Chen said unhurriedly: "Cao Zheng, do you understand the art of war?" ”

"This ...... I am a civilian official, where do I know the art of war. Cao Zheng said embarrassedly.

Let him be corrupt and bribe, and be nosy, he is better than anyone else, but let him lead the troops to fight, he will not be able to.

Yang Chen put his hands behind his back and fell into thoughts.

Although he had read the art of war, he could not say anything now.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the further down the drag, the worse it is, and the most taboo on the defending side is to drag. Just looking at this large number of people, it's annoying enough.

Thinking in his heart, Yang Chen said solemnly: "You don't understand the art of war, you should call someone who understands the art of war to come over." ”

"I ......" As soon as Cao Zheng heard this, he understood, yes, he didn't know the art of war and commanded blindly on the city wall, so he hurriedly said: "Catch quickly, you go and call Huang Baifu!" ”

"Good, good!" When the catcher heard this, he hurried down and called for someone.

After a while, he came up with a burly man in armor.

This man is the Huang Baifu mentioned by Cao Zheng, and he is a centurion in the army, because the city is located in the middle of nowhere, and he does not have the title of general. This Huang Baifu is the leader of the three thousand elite soldiers.

Captain Wu is in charge of five to ten people, and even the chief is in charge of ten to a hundred people, and this centurion is in charge of a hundred to a thousand. After all, this side of Liaocheng is not the imperial court, the rules are not so dead, and the three thousand elite soldiers are all managed by him Huang Centurion.

"Lord Cao, Lord Yang." That Huang Baifu is obviously also a shrewd person, and after seeing Yang Chen and Cao Zheng, he couldn't stop laughing.

Cao Zheng was also lazy to talk nonsense at this time, and said: "Huang Baifu, you have also seen the current situation. We can't drag it on, but Allah moves out of the city to fight, and it will be difficult for 3,000 elite soldiers to fight 5,000 elite soldiers. Do you have any good strategy for winning more with less? ”

When Huang Baifu heard this, he was embarrassed: "For now, it is impossible to retreat from the enemy." But there is a way to defeat the morale of the Dong'an people. Master Cao, in the way of the art of war, it is said that if you want to win more with less, you can't attack, you need to outwit. But for now, we are limited by a few cities, and it is too difficult to outwit. It's not that there is no way, but whether it can be used or not depends on what you say, Lord Cao! ”

"What's the idea, say it quickly." Cao Zheng said.

Seeing that Huang Baifu had a way, Yang Chen's eyebrows were raised, but he was a little surprised.

Huang Baifu smiled: "There is only one way, and that is to fight!" ”

"Will fight?" Cao Zheng touched his chin.

"That's right, it's to select a few masters in the army to go one-on-one with their Dong'a people!" Huang Baifu said.
