Waiting for Ma Chong and the others to leave, Zhang Yuan looked at the strategists under his command, was silent for a while, and said: "The Yuan army is attacking our army like this, if we really don't do anything to resist, then I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

"Lord, forgive the ministers for their mouths!" Gao Huan waited for Zhang Yuan to finish speaking before he spoke: "Doing this, is it against the strategy set before, Xihe City continues to lurk, waiting for the opportunity?" ”

"No!" Zhang Yuan glanced at Gao Huan and knew that he knew something in his heart, but he said few words, waiting for his words before he spoke. Zhang Yuan didn't care about Gao Huan's thoughts, and still said: "Sitting still is not my Xihe City's style, it is still necessary to test it, and the strength in this must be grasped well, so that the Yuan army can not suspect that we are accumulating liliang waiting to give them a fatal blow, and we can't really go all out to repel the other party!" Grasp the strength, that is, on the existing liliang, do what you can! ”

Jia Xu didn't wait for Gao Huan to speak, Shi Shiran preemptively said: "Lord, can you allow the ministers to go back and plan a thing or two?" ”

"Gao Qing, do you have anything to say?" Zhang Yuan looked at Gao Huan's puffed and panicked expression, and secretly laughed. Jia Xu didn't say this sooner or later, but at this time, it can't be said that he didn't shoot seven inches, so that Gao Huan's plan to perform well in front of everyone was put into water, and Gao Huan had nothing to say about what Jia Xu said.

"No, I didn't!"

Gao Huan replied aggrievedly, he can't tell what he thinks, say it at this time, no matter how clever he is, in addition to appearing smarter in front of others, the more important thing is that it will leave a careless and rough impression of being unstable. No matter how smart this is, a poor impression is the main thing, which is not what Gao Huan wants.

Zhang Yuan nodded, as the lord. A bowl of water is fair and impartial, but sometimes it is necessary to maintain the balance between the two sides, not to favor one side, let alone help one side to fight the other, because both sides are their own subordinates, working for themselves, doing so will only chill the hearts of their subordinates.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan didn't care about anything. just said lightly: "Okay, then two days later, each of them will come up with a jihua!" ”

"Whoa!" Ma Yun and others responded in unison.

And so the meeting ended at this time.

Jia Xu stood up and left, and did not continue to pursue while he was victorious. For Gao Huan, it's good to knock it from time to time so that the other party doesn't deviate to the wrong path. For Jia Xu. Beating Gao Huan is just work. There is nothing to be happy or angry about, and it is this kind of blandness that makes Gao Huan gnash his teeth at him, but there is no way to take Jia Xu at all.

Time passed in a flash, and two days passed, and the Yuan army seemed to be tired of fighting with Xihe City. focused on the construction of the city, and did not come up with any other tricks to deal with Xihe City, except for the daily formulaic attacks and disturbances, there was no other action. And West River City. Every day was also concentrated in a state of high alert, and the soldiers defending the city and the Mongol iron cavalry were constantly firing, and the number of arrows fired was not overwhelming, but the casualty rate remained at a relatively stable number.

No more than ten people were injured and three died every day in Xihe City. And the Yuan army did not exceed a hundred wounded, forty died. The loss of the arrows in Xihe City is large, and it cannot be recovered, while the war horses of the Yuan army have suffered considerable losses, because the soldiers of Xihe City have learned well, and they can't kill the cunning Yuan people, but they put the goal on the war horse.

In the early morning of the third day, all over Xihe City, Jia Xu, Ma Yun, Chen Qing, Gao Huan, Wei Jing and others walked out of the house one after another, came to the unique western-style building in General Weixi's mansion, and entered the conference room, Zhang Yuan had already been waiting for a long time.

"See the lord!" Gao Huan was the first to arrive, his face was a little pale, staring at two dark circles, his pupils couldn't hide bloodshots, thinking that he hadn't had a good time in the past two days.

"Sit down!" Zhang Yuan looked at his appearance, and naturally knew that Jia Xu was afraid that he was bowing to the great cause, in order to fiercely suppress Jia Xu for a while, Gao Huan racked his brains, thinking of many plans, and almost went crazy, until last night at four o'clock in the morning, he fell asleep.

Pick it up, the strategists under Zhang Yuan's command are afraid that Gao Huan is the most serious, that is, the diligent and inquisitive Ma Yun is also a step worse than the crazy Gao Huan.

It has to be said that human jealousy is sometimes a kind of motivation to move forward, and it is still the kind of 800 horsepower.

"Tea!!" Zhang Yuan sat there and nodded slightly, motioned to the guards next to him to serve tea, the hot tea and snacks were served, and after a small taste, Zhang Yuan said: "Since it is all due, let's start, who will come first?" ”

"Lord!" Ma Yun was the youngest, stood up and said, "What the minister has been thinking and seeing in the past few days, the purpose of the Yuan army is to lure us out so much, so that we can be surrounded and hunted!" And if we don't go out, even if the soldiers under our command suppress it, the morale will inevitably be lowered, and both are what the Yuan army wants to see. ”

Ma Yun threw bricks and stones, although he didn't say his strategy, but it was also quite sideways, Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "So, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"It's better to block than to be sparse, the attack must be attacked, but in this attack, you need to give full play to the advantages of Xihe City!" Ma Yun said in high spirits: "Although the Yuan army wants to force us to commit, but the initiative is in the hands of the lord from beginning to end, Xihe City stands here, I can easily advance and retreat freely, and the Yuan army can only cry out in vain in the face of Xihe City!" In this way, there will be today's stalemate! ”

Everything seems to be the Yuan army pressing Xihe City to fight, but in fact, it is not that the Yuan army can't help Xihe City. Otherwise, how could they sit back and watch Xihe City nail here, so that there would be a hidden danger in the supply line of the Yuan army.

"......" Gao Huan pouted secretly, he had thought of these a long time ago, did he still need to take them out?

However, he doesn't have the slightest urge to fight Ma Yun, in his heart Ma Yun is smart and a little doll, he disdains to embarrass the other party.

Zhang Yuan didn't think it was angry, and asked patiently: "So, what are we going to do?" ”

After all, Ma Yun is still young, and his achievements today are inseparable from his efforts, but compared to these old fritters here, even Chen Qing, who is quiet and does not live in the world, is still more than a step behind. And there is no need to compare with Jia Xu, even if it is Gao Huan and Wei Jing, they are not comparable to Ma Yun in terms of experience and experience.

"Night Fight!"

Ma Yun saw that the others did not say anything, nor was he disappointed, took a deep breath, and said the strategy that he had been thinking about in the past two days. As well as the disadvantages of the Yuan army.

"Night Battle......

Gao Huan's look of annoyance flashed, and what he thought of was also a night battle, only a night battle could give full play to the advantages of Xihe City, and suppress the numerical advantage of the Yuan army, and the black light was blinding. The soldiers of Xihe have undergone professional night combat training, although they are not as good as daytime. But compared to the Yuan army. But it's more than enough.

And what about the Yuan army? If there are more people fighting at night, the possibility of accidental injuries will be greatly increased, and it is impossible to say that most of the casualties will be caused by themselves! And there are few people who go up, and the Xihe soldiers can also rely on their night fighting ability to ruthlessly destroy the other party.

"What are you going to do with the night fight?" Gao Huan couldn't pretend to be deep at this time, and let Ma Yun say something. His efforts in the past two days can be the credit of others, and thinking about it makes people feel very disturbed.

Ma Yun doesn't think it's wrong, it's obviously better for someone to talk to himself than for a person to talk to himself. He didn't hide it either, and said: "I plan to attack the cavalry with cavalry, led by Brother Zhang Xiu, and beat down the morale of the Yuan army!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Yuan nodded slightly and praised it as if encouragingly.

Hearing Ma Yun's words, Gao Huan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and did not speak again.

Gao Huan's performance, Zhang Yuan saw it in his eyes, naturally he was afraid that there was still a difference between his thoughts and Ma Yun's, otherwise the difference between before and after would be too big.

He Liuhun's heart is still immature, his vision is too narrow, but there is no way, this needs to be experienced, he needs to understand it himself, and when that day he completely lets go of his obsession with Jia Xu, and looks at this shijie calmly, maybe the whole person will be completely mature! Among the many strategists, Wei Jing was not the best one in terms of qualifications or ability, he was more often watching, watching what others said, thinking about what Weishenme was doing.

Zhang Yuan took in everyone's performance and asked, "Gentlemen, what other tricks do you have?" ”

Jia Xu said indispensably: "The minister is meaningless! ”

Jia Xu didn't put his mind on this from beginning to end, not that he didn't care about this matter, but he believed that Gao Huan would not be willing to let go of this opportunity, so there was no need to put too much energy on it, wasting the precious intellectual resources of Xihe City.

And Chen Qing is the same, she rarely speaks, and she is not good at tactics, her eyes pay more attention to the entire chessboard, the movements of the whole world, Xihe City Commercial and Military Intelligence Section will send the latest information to Chen Qing every day, whether it is useful or not, for fear of missing something, because Chen Qing's unique eyes and keen sense of smell can always allow her to see what others have not noticed, so as to get what she wants.

"Gao Huan, what do you think?" Zhang Yuan looked at Gao Huan's appearance of pretending to be speechless and stopping, knowing that he didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he asked secretly funny.

During this time, Gao Huan really hurt his brain in order to be able to go further in Xihe City, and he was crazy, who asked Jia Xu to give him a stuffy stick from time to time, the taste that he wanted and couldn't get made people angry, which made Gao Huan obsessed with it, drilled the tip of the horns, and behaved a little clumsy.

Gao Huan didn't have an appetite, and said respectfully: "The minister thinks that when the foot soldiers cooperate with the cavalry, they can achieve great things!" ”

"Oh! How so? ”

Hearing Gao Huan's plan, Zhang Yuan became interested, although Gao Huan was naïve in some aspects, but I have to say that Gao Huan's military wisdom is unquestionable.

"With Xihe City as the back, with cavalry to attack, with foot soldiers to slow down, put out a defensive position, can be arranged more antlers and other defensive equipment, if the Yuan army rushes, when the cavalry attack, foot soldiers surrounded and annihilated, if the Yuan army is still attacking, then with shields and armor defense, with arrows to attack, each infantry team to respond to each other, victory!"

Gao Huan's strategy does not have any dangerous tricks, nor does it have a strange scheme, but a simple but solid, steady and steady tactic, simple but real, if it is like this, the ending is clear at a glance, and it wins!

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, although what Gao Huan said was simple, Zhang Yuan could see that the manipulation in this required a lot of effort, for example, when did the foot soldiers go out of the city to slow down, and did they go out of the battle at the beginning? Or wait for the cavalry to clash with the Yuan army, and the Yuan army will come?

And so on all require the commander's grasp of the battle situation and the control of the army, especially, all this is in the dark night, and the war is open, and the complex command is obviously not used, otherwise if the Yuan army does not fight, he will be in chaos.

In this way, the commander's ability to predict the battle situation is extremely tested.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan had to think carefully and again, zuihou, Zhang Yuan said: "Do you gentlemen have any opinions?" ”

Ma Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "So, isn't it too risky?" (To be continued......)
