Chapter 2086 Gui Zi Juan Two armies face off, the one with more calculations wins

Seeing Feng Ziying’s frown, Feng You could roughly guess his confusion.

Letting Wang Chengwu's army enter the city basically confirms that Wang Chengwu has colluded with the government and the army. No matter how hard it is to act as a surprise force, if Wang Chengwu's army is not allowed to enter the city, how effective can Wang Chengwu's army be outside the city? Everyone I have no idea.

This is a bunch of rebels who have been integrated repeatedly and took over for a short period of time. The enemy is a copycat soldier who has turned into a deserter and rebel soldier from the Yulin Army. No one knows how strong its combat effectiveness is. Moreover, these copycat soldiers The soldiers have also integrated a large group of rebel troops from other places. It is even more unclear what their combat effectiveness is.

"Ziying, the top priority is to defend the city. The value of Wu Fort lies in the Qikou Ferry crossing in the west and the food supplies in the city. The geographical location cannot be moved. As long as it is in our hands, we will always block the Qikou Valley and Qikou Valley. As long as the city is protected from being breached by food and supplies, these rebel armies will eventually collapse because they have nothing to gain." Feng You said softly.

Feng Ziying suddenly realized that she was still too greedy for success and always fantasized about another good thing like Wang Chengwu's surprise attack on Yao Yongzhong. But in fact, she should understand that this idea was very slim.

Mo Delun from Boyan Village and Qiu Zixiong from Baitang Village are not people like Yao Yongzhong who have not experienced many trials and hardships and are somewhat ambitious but still a little naive. They are escapees and have been working hard in the border town for many years. He knows the tactics of the government and the army and does everything he can to achieve victory.

Although Modlen, Qiu Zixiong and the others are still a little unable to control this huge army filled with a large number of other rebels, it can be seen from their ability to actively separate the copycat soldiers from other rebels that the other side is prepared. .

Feng Ziying could guess the next plan. They would use these miscellaneous troops to attack, while their own elite would choose the right time to launch a fatal blow and destroy the city in one fell swoop.

If Wang Chengwu and the others are placed outside the city, with the current combat effectiveness of Wang Chengwu's troops, they may not be able to launch a surprise attack on the elite main force of Baitang Village in Boyan Village. Especially when Baitang Village in Boyan Village has a considerable number of cavalry, Wang Chengwu's troops can hardly It is difficult to achieve the goal with all infantry.

“Uncle You reminds me more, I understand.” Feng Ziying took a deep breath and made up her mind.

It's better to be more cautious, because big steps can really get you into trouble. I already have the aura of the protagonist, why not try to win steadily?

If you have to play this thrilling counterattack, if you fail, what will you do with so many beautiful wives and concubines in your home?

What's more, what I have done now is a bit risky. When I entered Wubao, I encountered the firm opposition of Li Guibao and Liu Dingfeng. It was also a bit risky to simply remove Wang Chengwu, but it can be said that talents are rare, especially a chaotic man who is familiar with the situation in northern Shaanxi. Military talents are even rarer, so it makes sense to give him a chance.

“As long as you understand, Ziying, I know you have been smart and independent since you were a child, but after all, you are too young and have not experienced many unexpected twists and turns that will lead to reversal of results...”

 Feng You had a look of reminiscence on his face, full of emotion.

"Back then, the Governor and I fought fiercely with the Ordos people on the grassland. We saw that an encirclement and annihilation battle was about to end with a perfect ending. Who would have thought that a wandering Yongxiebu cavalry army would join in and tear apart our defense line. As a result, The situation turned around, and the Governor-General and I were forced to retreat, and the Ordos people counterattacked and almost surrounded and annihilated us. In that battle, we lost more than nearly 10,000 elite troops. It was also the most painful defeat in the Governor-General's life, and the reason It’s that Yongxiebu cavalry army that came from nowhere. In fact, the Yongxiebu people are not on good terms with the Ordos people, and they were dispersed many years ago. They have no decent strength at all..."

Feng You couldn't help but sigh when he said this, "Sometimes you really don't expect what accidents will happen. A small accident can lead to an unexpected ending."

"Uncle You, I have learned a lesson." Feng Ziying understood what Feng You meant by giving this example. Don't take risks blindly. It's not worth it. Use the right combination to win by surprise. When you can achieve your goal with right combination, try not to use surprise to win. .

Once decided, Feng Ziying no longer hesitated, communicated with Xia Zhiling, and ordered Wang Chengwu and Gu Xiuzhong's armies to enter the city.

This sudden change also made Wang Chengwu and Gu Xiuzhong very excited.

Although they had accepted the "recruitment" before, they had never been allowed to enter the city. It was obvious that the government did not trust these two "quasi-official troops" that had evolved from the rebel army, and they had nothing to say. My identity is there, and I don't dare to have any objections. At least everyone is not missing a bite of the food sent out by the county.

Next, the mysterious "Master Zhang" sent dozens of soldiers to help the two armies reorganize and train. It really looked like they were going to be integrated into the official army. Wang Chengwu and Gu Xiuzhong also understood This is a rare opportunity, otherwise I would really have to go back and continue to be hungry, so I still train hard.

Now it seems to be confirmed that the previous efforts have finally paid off, and the government has finally recognized their group of people as one of them. This sense of accomplishment gives both Wang Chengwu and Gu Xiuzhong an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Of course, Wang Chengwu also knew that allowing them to enter the county would mean coexisting with the county. Boyan Village, Baitang Village and even more rebels were marching towards Wubao County and would arrive at the city within two or three days. This would It means that my group will have to fight with these former "partners" in a life-or-death battle.

 But he felt it was worth it.

I am just a country scoundrel. I finally got such an opportunity to climb up. If I don't seize it firmly, I will regret it if I miss it. As for risking my life, haven't I been fighting for my life every day before? ?

　　In the past, even if I fought for my life every day, I didn’t have the opportunity to climb and develop. Now I have at least given myself the opportunity to leap from a fish to a dragon. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

It's just a matter of risking one's life. For people like me, it's like shooting at the city with a crossbow. If you die first, the one who survives can get ahead. It's worth it!

When I discussed this truth with the two brothers, Wang Chenghu and Wang Chengbiao both agreed.

"Chengwu, you also know that there are only two gates in Wubao. The west gate will be the focus of the rebel army's attack. Mr. Xia and I plan to leave the important task of guarding the west gate to you. What do you think?" Feng Ziying looked at Wang Chengwu. The three brothers said casually.

“I am willing to die for you!” Wang Chengwu left his seat, knelt down on one knee, and said every word. Seeing his brother like this, Wang Chenghu and Wang Chengbiao also quickly turned over and knelt down.

"Well, get up. I know you've been training very hard these days, but in the end we still have to fight this battle." Feng Ziying waved her hands, her tone more serious, "To be honest, everyone doesn't think much of you. , the combat effectiveness of the men and horses in Boyan Village and Baitang Village is far better than yours. You have to admit this yourself. In addition, the people who wave the sky flag are randomly incorporated into your team. The time is too short. How effective they can be. It’s easy to say, but we are facing a siege by more than 10,000 rebels, perhaps especially Ximen, do you understand?”

Wang Chengwu nodded: "Sir, the grain and grass supplies in the city must be their goal. They will not give up until they take Wubao City. But for us, holding Wubao City is also our only purpose. Let's see who has the last laugh. , their numbers are overwhelming, we have a strong city to rely on, whoever wins will let the weapons in their hands speak for themselves."

"Chengwu, it seems that you are very confident, but there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us. We must admit this and cannot be blindly arrogant." Feng Ziying looked at the other party, "I think if you are asked to guard the west gate, what are you going to do?"

Wang Chengwu became a little nervous. He knew that this was actually a test for him by the other party to see whether he was qualified to take on this important task.

Swallowing his saliva, Wang Chengwu calmed down his inner emotions and said while thinking: "My subordinates didn't think much about it before, but they also considered what to do if they wanted to defend Wubao City. The walls of Wubao City are low and short. It is impossible to strengthen and increase height over time, but I think we can still take some precautions..."

“Oh, let’s talk about it.” Feng Ziying was somewhat interested, “It seems that you are well prepared.”

"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating. But since my subordinates have abandoned the dark side and taken this path, they naturally have to consider how to win this battle. Although Wubao City has low walls, it is still a county town after all. Although Boyan Village and Baitang Village are coming from They are fierce, but their advantage lies in cavalry assault. Attacking cities is not their strong point, and it is not even as good as those rebels from Jiazhou and Mizhi."

Wang Chengwu slowly calmed down and put forward his own opinion: "If we want to win this battle, my subordinates think that we can make preparations in advance in the following aspects. For example, arrange preparations at a low ground eighty steps to the left of the west gate. Team, if the enemy wants to break through, they will most likely choose this place and the city gate as the focus. If possible, we can even set up an ambush here to lure them into their trap, but the premise is that we must seize the time to make a lot of preparations..."

"For another example, the masters around you are those experts who come from all walks of life. It's a pity that they charge into battle, but their ability to attack at points is unparalleled. My subordinates thought that if three or five of them could form an interception team, Ambush in some key and vital parts and suddenly attack at critical moments, especially targeted killing of those officers or vanguards, can not only act as a deterrent, but also greatly dampen the enemy's morale..."

“Also, I think we can’t all enter the city. We still need to leave a mobile force, or a death squad, outside the city. We don’t want a large number, but we want those who are bold enough to risk their lives and dare to charge and fight..."
