Chapter Twenty-Eight: Famous Generals
In the middle of the teaching field, Wang Tong and the two of them came as promised, and Xu Jingzhi and Xu Ji walked slowly on the opposite side, both sides knew each other at a glance, and talked first with a smile.
Xu Ji said with a smile: "It's a hot day, wait until we talk about business, I'll let the little guys set up a tent first." ”
Wang Tong, who was sweating, couldn't ask for this, so the little guys stepped forward to set up the tent, and sent herbal tea and snacks, eating and drinking for a while, and the two sides began to discuss face-to-face, and most of the time had passed.
Li Jinglong's 'army' was like a swarm of locusts, cutting down all the trees around the hillside, and it was not enough to plan to surround a camp, Li Jinglong ordered to dig a deep trench, and then put the soil on the highest part of the terrain to create a high platform for him to command the battle, in addition to the construction of arrow towers and horse rejection and other defensive measures.
For the high standards and strict requirements of the coach, under the urging of their own young master, the family members who are used to living a comfortable life reluctantly pinched their noses and admitted it. Many people slander in their hearts, you say that you have nothing to do to let us walk, practice our fists and feet, and obey orders, this is really a fucking lowly soldier?
The most annoying thing is that the Chinese army of the commander does not do any work, hides to the side and watches, in the name of what elite wants to save physical strength, and we are miscellaneous soldiers?
Originally, most of the minions of this wealthy family were the best at stealing and playing tricks, and they couldn't even drink saliva on this hot day, and they didn't come from the same family, who would work stupidly and hard? In this way, the quality of the whole project is very worrisome, and most of the young masters don't think that their side will take a defensive position, so they turn a blind eye, so they work together to deceive the boss.
What about Li Jinglong? Naturally, he slipped into the shade and held a combat meeting, and brought a table full of wine and fresh fruits, so he couldn't let the generals starve, right?
The prince's generals ate and drank beautifully, while listening to Brother Li's long speech, from the ancient Xia Shang to the battle of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in short, it was more enjoyable than listening to the story.
This side is procrastinating and doing work, and the other side is also building a lot of construction, and the scale seems to be more bullish than this side, and if you build a camp, then I will build a fortress and fortress.
The Xu family has few people who can fight, but there are many people who can work! Even the people who watched the excitement were mobilized, and bags of sandbags were piled up, shelves made of wood were used as bones, stone sandbags and messy fillings were used as city bricks, and soon the outline of a small boxy city was gradually revealed.
Wang Tong's subordinates were very attentive, and immediately ran back to report, Li Jinglong, who got the news, sneered, what can a mere tofu-like castle withstand? With a wave of his hand, he ordered the whole army to make improvised siege weapons.
But the men came back and reported that the men below were clamoring for water to drink, or they would strike. Li Jinglong was also as good as a stream, and immediately sent thirty people to find Qing Shui.
In the courtyard of the Xu family, Xu Hao and Zhu Gaochi sat under the pergola and gossiped, lying around with more than 200 people, hurrying up to replenish their physical strength, the shijie outside was unbearable, but it was cool and comfortable here.
Xu Hao, who was pushed to the position of coach in a daze, did not have the consciousness of being a marshal at all, and Zhu Gaochi was used to bowing down to everything, and the first thing he did this morning was to personally encourage everyone, so the two of them basically achieved the joys and sorrows with the soldiers as required in the military book.
In fact, it is just to make a show, and it will take time to really share the joys and sorrows, but Xu Hao is just that, Zhu Gaochi's identity is not trivial after all, and the family can see a prince at close range, and their emotions are very high.
Xu Wen ran over and said excitedly: "The other party sent a team to Wangjia Village, and the negotiation is almost over." ”
Xu Hao stood up and stretched, looking at the city that had risen from the ground and was a lot higher than the courtyard wall, and he missed his computer game infinitely, the same instructions, and the farmers built a building the same, the difference is that there are too many troublesome things that need to be coordinated in reality, and it is far from being as simple as in the game.
The purpose of building a castle is purely to understand Zhu Gaochi, such a fat person can't fight, and his status is precious, so he has to find a place to settle it. In addition, it can also play a role in confusing opponents, killing two birds with one stone.
The so-called negotiation is basically nonsense, one is to delay time; Second, in order not to trample on the farmland, Xu Hao planned to treat the field as a steep mountain.
What can't these noble children do? You can't always burden the villagers because of yourself.
Xu Jingzhi in the tent proposed this, Wang Tong was very smart, and after nodding in agreement, he immediately proposed that the Xu family's courtyard must also be regarded as a mountain, and when the war started, he was not allowed to hide in it, and he was not allowed to take food and drink from the courtyard, Xu Jingzhi thought about it and agreed.
In addition, there are some messy things, the weapons used in the battle, the bow and arrow are fired to the point that they will automatically withdraw from the battlefield, and what is the battlefield within a radius of 100 miles, no fire is allowed, there is no time limit, etc., most of them are from Li Jinglong's ideas, and the intention is nothing more than to make this engagement more realistic.
After some haggling, the two sides finally reached a verbal agreement.
Xu Hao ignored these reasons, expecting both sides to abide by the content of the negotiation is tantamount to a fantasy, who is stupid and will consciously withdraw if he is hit by a wooden arrow?
Xu Wen, as the eldest brother, didn't speak, Zhu Gaochi stood up with difficulty when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Then let's get ready to start." ”
Over there, Wang Tong returned with someone and explained the negotiation matters in detail, Li Jinglong said happily: "Come on, set up a sand table." ”
It just so happened that the earthen platform was almost done, this was condescending, and the surrounding terrain was in full view, and the princes and generals praised the foresight of the commander.
The complacent Li Jinglong began to point out the country: "Come and see, the field has become a cliff, and no one is allowed to leave, which makes this originally open terrain instantly become a long and narrow place; The courtyard of the Xu family became a dead thing, so that the small city became the only support of the enemy; If I were Xu Jingqin, I would not be able to hold out, hide the cavalry in the nearby dense forest, and take advantage of the night to attack inside and outside. ”
"How long can a makeshift city hold?" Grand Prince Cao said disdainfully.
Li Jinglong shook his head slightly, pointed to the family members who were working hard and their throats were smoking, and asked, "Then how long do you say we can stay here?" ”
Cao Dagongzi looked at the horses, trenches, arrow towers, and walled walls, and almost sprinkled some iron thistles and rolling wood and stones, thought for a while and said: "If the number is equal, it will probably be able to hold for a day or two, but fortunately it can't be attacked with fire." ”
"On the battlefield, the enemy must not be underestimated, and the art of war is ten times surrounded, and the battle is doubled. We have more than 500 people in total, and the other party, as a landlord, can make up 300 people at the least. ”
"What Brother Li said is that I underestimated the enemy." Grand Prince Cao blushed and lowered his head.
Wang Tong was thirsty because of the heat, and he had an idea: "Since the other party plans to delay time, why don't you send a team to go around the back and cut off the grain route, anyway, they can't get supplies from their own house, so wait for three or five days so patiently, and then attack back and forth?" ”
Li Jinglong admitted in his heart that Wang Tong's suggestion was very good, but in this way, how could he show his talent in leading troops? said lightly: "I said that the Xu family is a landlord, and some have ways to get food, but we came from afar, so it is not appropriate to divide the troops to fight." ”
Wang Tong said suspiciously: "Then what do you mean, do you want to order the whole army to attack immediately?" ”
"I still have that patience." Li Jinglong smiled and ordered: "Pass on my military order and order the whole army to rest on the spot." ”
Everyone followed Li Jinglong down the soil platform, and Wang Tong couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't the water come back yet?" How long have people been out? ”
Cao Gongzi calculated the time and said, "It's almost an hour." ”
