Since ancient times, if you want to capture a city, you must have several times the troops on the defending side of the city to attack and take it down.

When the two armies confront each other, because of the different military tactics of both sides, there may be situations where the fewer wins, but it is extremely difficult to happen in siege wars.

The main reason is that compared with the siege, the defending party has a natural geographical advantage and can hold on to the city.

Without several times of the troops, it is almost impossible to take it down!

This is also the confidence of Li Shimin.

The enemy Xu Shiji's 20,000 troops were still Sun Ying who collected the income from Li Mi's defeated Wagang army.

If Li Jing had not given repeated advice and Sun Ying's reputation, Li Shimin would have even wanted to take the initiative to attack...

...

Outside Yiyang City.

At the same time, Xu Shiji also received a secret letter from Zhang Xutuo.

When Zhang Xutuo was secretly marching, he sent someone to send a message and told Xu Shiji that he could start the plan.

After receiving the letter, Xu Shiji clenched his fists tightly and was very excited.

This plan in the lord's planning is so... exciting.

He is only twenty-four years old!

Although I have been in the military, I have never tried such a military strategy!

If it is really successful, let alone the new city of Yiyang, Mianchi, Shangzhou, even Li Shimin's 100,000 troops will be completely destroyed in Henan County!

"When the lord taught me the art of war, he once composed a story of military tactics. Among them, a peerless general commanded a battle called "Six Crossings of Chishui. The general moved and jumped, repeatedly jumped and applied to the extreme, playing with the enemy in his palm..." Xu Shiji murmured, as if a ball of flames appeared in his eyes.

One day, he also wants to become such a famous general!

And this time, he had the opportunity to work with Zhang Xutuo to achieve this... they themselves couldn't understand their own strategic decisions!

In the military camp, Xu Shiji took out a map, and marked the distance between the four cities, the time required to march, and... the defenders among them.

At present, Mianchi is the weakest, with only a few thousand guards.

But Zhang Xutuo had already led his army to attack.

According to the scouts, Li Jing led 30,000 troops to follow closely behind.

Mianchi is the enemy who must be saved, and Li Jing will not give in so much.

And what he has to do now is to give up Yiyang City and attack the weakest... New City at present!

"Send an order! The entire army immediately set off the camp, and whether it is dark or not, they will directly attack the new city!" Xu Shiji took a deep breath and issued a military order.

...

Inside Yiyang City.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin looked at Xu Shiji's 20,000 troops outside, all transferred from the camp, and quickly called... Changsun Wuji.

To be honest, because Sun Ying's name is on the front, Li Shimin is a little weak now.

"Wuji, is Xu Shiji's purpose the new city?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

After reading the map, Changsun Wuji made a brief analysis and nodded: "The direction of the enemy's march is the new city!"

Li Shimin then breathed a little relieved and asked: "Now there are 20,000 defenders in Xincheng. I want to be safe. Should we take advantage of the situation to attack and jointly attack with the defenders in the city to attack Xu Shiji's troops?"

In his opinion, this is a great time.

Originally, Xu Shiji led an army of 20,000 to confront him 50,000, while Leng Jianzhang led an army of 30,000 to confront Li Jing's 50,000 to confront him...

Now Leng Jian Zhang and Li Jing have both gone to Mianchi. It is a great time for him to lead an army of 70,000 to double-team Xu Shiji's army of 20,000!

His childhood friend Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, took out the secret letter before Li Jing left, shook his head and said, "Before General Li left, we should remind us not to act rashly, everything... we might as well wait for General Li to come back, after all, our opponent is Sun Ying!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard this.

Dispelled the idea of ​​attack.

As for the Duke of Yang Chengyi, Sun Ying’s name is here, so he still needs to respect it.

The graves of Li Mi and Sima Dekan, who disrespect Sun Ying, have grown grass...

...

Besides, Li Jing was rushing towards Mianchi, worried that Leng Jian Zhang would lead an army of 30,000 to steal the house.

But as he chased after him, he found...

The enemy's marching is far more sophisticated than him.

He must be a long-time general in the army!

He even thought it was Han Qinhu and He Ruobi's level.

The marching dispatch was not leaking, and the long-distance raid showed no flaws.

"Fortunately, I discovered the movements of this army in time, otherwise Mianchi will be in danger in two days in the evening!"

Along the way, Li Jing chased after him, but fortunately, his military talent was not weak, so he bit the other party tightly.

However, while fighting, when he was patrolling the camp, he found that... what he was chasing was just an army of more than a thousand people.

This was mainly judged based on the number of cooks in the enemy's army. Li Jing, who made a quick decision, launched an attack.

As a result, it was found that the other party's so-called 30,000 army had disappeared without a trace, with only more than a thousand people left, with a strong voice and pretending to be 30,000 people, leading him to follow him all the time.

"Not good! The golden cicada escapes its shell!"

Li Jing knew this plan well and immediately reacted and sent scouts to Mianchi Shangzhou and Xincheng Yiyang and other directions to investigate.

Let’s see where the Zhang Xutuo tribe went...

Half a day later, the scout finally found the news about Zhang Xutuo's tribe.

They actually turned around and headed towards the new city!

"Transfer the tiger away from the mountain?"

Li Jing's face was gloomy and he bit these words hard.

He originally thought that the enemy's real intention was Mianchi, but he didn't expect... the enemy's real intention was actually the new city he guarded!

He will save him if he attacks him, and acts thrillingly, lead him out of the city, lure him out of the mountain, and then escape from the shell and kill him back!

"Send the order! The whole army turns around and returns to the new city!"

Li Jing took a deep breath, calmed down, and sent an order to return to the army.

At this moment, he even doubted whether Sun Ying was in command.

Only a general of Sun Ying can perform such an operation and hide it from him several times!

...

Yiyang City.

Li Shimin also received reports from scouts and learned about the movements of Zhang's 30,000 troops.

And the report from Li Jing quickly came.

"The real purpose of the enemy's army is the new city. Leng Jian Zhang led 30,000 troops back to attack the new city. Be sure to defend the new city for two days!"

If Zhang Xutuo shot a fake shot, Li Jing would be two days late.

After receiving this letter, Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said in a deep voice: "Now the thief is in full force, I am afraid that he will win the new city..."

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but nod: "Now there are only 20,000 soldiers in the new city. Should we... want to rush to help?"

If they do not rush to help, to be honest, the enemy's marching desperately and their momentum is so fierce that they are worried that the 20,000 troops will not be able to stop Xu Shiji and Leng Jianzhang's 50,000 troops.

"Sun Ying has made every decision. If you use troops like this, there may be a way to quickly break the city..." A glimmer flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he immediately made a decision, saying: "I have been in the army for many years and know the way of using troops. The enemy is so urgent that I want to attack the new city, but I will not let them do what I want!"

"The order is sent to this part, leaving the 30,000 troops, heading to the new city, and guarding Xu Shiji and Zhang Xutuo's troops outside the city!"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he immediately praised: "Your Highness is so good. With these 30,000 troops guarding each other, Xu Shiji and Lengjian Zhang's troops dare not attack the city with all their strength!"

Li Shimin raised his head, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "This time, I will lead my troops to come in person!"

...

One day later.

Outside the new city.

Li Shimin led his army here, but found that... nothing was there.

Outside the new city, there was no 50,000 troops from Xu Shiji's army and Zhang's army that he imagined.

Empty.

Li Shimin's face turned pale and soon received a report from the defenders of Yiyang City.

"Your Highness, please return to the rescue quickly. Zhang's army and Xu Shiji's army joined forces to attack the city. The last general is afraid that he will not be able to resist..."

Li Shimin angrily slapped the table, stared at the scout below, and said coldly: "Who lied about military information?"
To be continued...
