Chapter 754: The Tartar's Trap
Fan Wencheng paused and said, "Then has Lord Belle thought of a strategy to save the Great Black Mountain Fort?"
Mang Gurtai said with a slight anger, "Ben Beile is naturally discussing countermeasures, do I still need to report to you?"
Fan Wencheng was not annoyed or angry, and said more respectfully, "Lord Belle, the lower officials have a plan to relieve the siege of the Great Black Mountain Fort. ”
Mang Gurtai paused when he heard this, and then finally looked at Fan Wencheng.
Although this kid is a Han slave, he has also come up with a lot of good ideas in the past, I'm afraid that there is really a strategy to retreat from the enemy?
He said, "Oh, what is Mr. Fan's plan, why don't you come and hear it?"
Fan Wencheng said confidently, "Xia Guan heard that Qin Shuhuai only left 20,000 troops in Tai'an City, and the main general is his henchman Meng Wei. Lord Belle, according to the opinion of the lower officials, as long as we send troops to counterattack Tai'an City, then Qin Shuhuai will definitely not die without help. ”
Mang Gurtai snorted coldly, "Hmph, does Mr. Fan mean to besiege Wei to save Zhao? Do you know that if you go to fight Tai'an City, then Qin Shuhuai only needs to leave 30,000 troops in Daheishan Fort to continue to besiege the city, and the remaining 40,000 troops will go to aid Tai'an City." He even has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the side of Shaling Fort, and these soldiers and horses are not far away, and they can reach Tai'an City in two or three hours! You say, how many soldiers do we need to defeat him? And how many soldiers do we have available?"
Fan Wencheng smiled slightly, for him, this kind of questioning was a pleasure - so he was only halfway through the words.
When others question him, he will tell the whole plan and the whole plan, so that others will know that he is underestimating himself, right?
So, he said unhurriedly, "Definitely." Lord Belle, the art of war is cloudy: virtual and real, real and virtual, virtual and ......"
Mang Gurtai was not interested in listening to what he said there, so he immediately interrupted, "Mr. Fan, Ben Beile has also practiced a little in the art of war, so you don't need to say it, just say what you want to do." ”
Fan Wencheng was still unsatisfied, and originally wanted to show off his knowledge, but he didn't expect Mang Gurtai to have no patience at all.
I had to say the plan directly, "Lord Belle, what the lower official means is that we can pretend to send a large army to counterattack Tai'an City and force Qin Shuhuai to save it! But our main force is going to Daheishan Fort!"
Mang Gurtai's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Mr. Fan, you are going to send a large army to counterattack Tai'an City, and you are going to pull the main force to the Great Black Mountain Fort, do you know how many troops we have on hand now?"
"Lord Belle, I'm talking about the old suspicion formation, so that Qin Shuhuai can form the illusion that we will send a large army to attack Tai'an City!"
"Hehe, Mr. Fan is really whimsical, who is Qin Shuhuai? Will he send a bunch of bright posts and secret sentinels around Tai'an City to investigate? How many troops we send to Tai'an, he won't be able to see?"
Fan Wencheng smiled, "Then it depends on what we do!" Lord Belle knows that now the White Lotus Sect's eyeliner is densely covered in Dajin's territory, as long as we let the army go south first at night and make a gesture of attacking Tai'an City, those White Lotus Sect people will definitely run to inform Qin Shuhuai. In order to seize the fighter, Qin Shuhuai will inevitably immediately send troops to Tai'an City to rescue. However, there is a small road more than 20 miles north of Tai'an City that leads directly to the Great Black Mountain Fort, where we will extinguish the fire torches, and then suddenly go straight to the west! Hehe, wait for Qin Shuhuai to get the news and then go back to the Great Black Mountain Fort, we have already united the soldiers and horses of the Great and Small Black Mountain Forts and defeated the Ming army that remained there! In this way, the siege of the Great Black Mountain Fort can naturally be solved!"
Mang Gurtai listened with a frown, and when Fan Wencheng's words were finished, his brows finally stretched a little.
said, "So...... It's not necessarily a solution. We have a lot of masters now, we can let those masters block the trail first, so that if the Ming army spies want to go back to report the news, they have to cross the weeds and beaches, and the place is angry, so the time for Qin Shuhuai to get the news will be delayed. ”
Fan Wencheng said loudly, "Lord Baylor is wise!"
The more Mang Gurtai thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and he couldn't help but glance at Fan Wencheng again.
"Hehe, Mr. Fan, please sit down, please drink tea, let's discuss slowly. ”
Fort Great Black Mountain.
Zhao Shujiao took Qin Shuhuai around the Great Black Mountain Fort.
Qin Shuhuai is also a big head after reading it, this big black mountain fort is really a strong city, not only the city wall is thick, but also has both the outer city wall and the inner city wall, the firepower configuration of the city head is also very fierce, not only there are Fu Lang machine guns, but also fire guns, fire oil and other killing weapons, no wonder Zhao Shujiao couldn't attack it yesterday.
If this posture is attacked, I am afraid that the cost is unimaginable.
After thinking about it, you can only choose the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements.
Now there is an extreme shortage of food in Houjin, and according to their strategy, the big and small black mountain forts were originally just the role of dragging the left side of the Ming army, so there must not be much food in the fort.
As long as the castle is surrounded, the soldiers will starve to death within a month.
Even more optimistically, half a month is enough - because this kind of castle is a military existence, and there are almost no civilians in it, and they have no place to collect food if they want to.
In such a short period of time, if he could exchange the lives of thousands of soldiers, of course Qin Shuhuai would have to wait.
After asking Zhao Shujiao to arrange ambushes in various places outside the city, Qin Shuhuai went back to his camp to rest.
As for the large army, after being stationed in a designated place or in an ambush, rest in place.
Night.
Suddenly, someone from the White Lotus Sect came to report, saying that the Tartars had led 40,000 and 10,000 troops respectively from Ash Niulu and the nearby Huangniwa Fort, with a total of 50,000 troops rushing straight to Tai'an City!
Qin Shuhuai verified the identity of the White Lotus Sect and confirmed that it was correct.
At the same time, he also received a report from a spy that a Tartar army had been dispatched in Ash Niulu City, and it was in the direction of Tai'an City.
Qin Shuhuai immediately found Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and others to discuss countermeasures.
Everyone agreed that this was a plan by the Tartars to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
But knowing this, should Tai'an City be saved?
If it had been yesterday, Qin Shuhuai would definitely not be in such a hurry.
Because he believed that Meng Wei was fully capable of holding on for a few hours!
But now, Qin Shuhuai is a little uncertain.
Because the masters who appeared last night were too terrifying, if they also joined the siege, Qin Shuhuai believed that Tai'an City would probably not last long!
In this world, the power of the master is really terrifying! He has seen this many times in siege battles large and small!
Meng Wei only had 20,000 soldiers and horses there, and there were only a few first-class players such as Wudang Chang Wuji, if the Tartars opened the city gate and rushed in, they wouldn't be able to last long.
It is impossible for Qin Shuhuai not to save it.
So he immediately said, "My Duke believes that Tai'an City cannot be gained and lost, and if we want to save Tai'an City, we must set off immediately, even if we can't arrive before the Tartars, we must arrive within half an hour after the start of the war! In addition, the Tartars of the Great Black Mountain Fort are only 10,000 or 20,000, we only need to leave 30,000 to continue the siege, and the rest of the soldiers can return to Tai'an with the Prince." ”
All the generals knew what the relationship between Meng Wei and Qin Shuhuai was, so it was understandable that Qin Shuhuai didn't want Meng Wei to be in danger.
So they all agreed.
At this moment, He Kegang said very blindly, "Grandpa Guo, the last general is thinking, are the Tartar soldiers stupid now?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Qin Shuhuai asked, "What does General He mean by this?"
"After suffering so many losses, they still haven't realized that our eyes are all over us? Don't they think that as soon as the army leaves the city, we will get the news immediately? They want to counterattack Tai'an City to besiege Wei and save Zhao, but they only sent 50,000 soldiers and horses, so we only need to transfer 40,000 from Daheishan Fort to relieve the siege of Tai'an City, and at the same time, Daheishan Fort is still surrounded by us, so what are they trying to do?"
These words made everyone feel empowered.
Yes, knowing that this is done, except for letting the Ming army mobilize the army, it will not be able to solve the siege of Daheishan Fort at all, so what are they trying to do?
Qin Shuhuai nodded, "What General He said is not unreasonable, so what do you think?"
He Kegang said, "The last general thinks that the army sent by the Tartars to Tai'an City is 50,000 on the surface, but there may be some that we haven't discovered." He wants to lure us to come to the aid of Tai'an City, and then set us off guard with heavy troops in Tai'an City! When the time comes, Tai'an City may be a net waiting for us to drill!"
He Kegang thinks that the Tartars and other soldiers and horses are also rushing to Tai'an City, but the reality is that Mang Gurtai has so many soldiers in his hands!
It's these 50,000 troops, he gritted his teeth and pulled them out!
It should be said that although He Kegang noticed that something was wrong, he thought about it.
