City-State Era, A Hundred Times Faster

After a moment of silence.

It was Li Siye who reacted first.

Ask Xu Fei.

"Is the information the general said true?

Xu Fei nodded.

"Our army sentinel looked at Li Si, and still found the trail of the enemy's wandering using a falcon."

"These rangers are supposed to be spies from the city of Samarkand covering the battlefield.""

Gao Xianzhi, who was beside him, paced back and forth in the big tent.

He stopped suddenly and turned around.

Facing the generals, he said: "General Duan, order the Kalulu cavalry and dispatch fine cavalry to investigate the direction of Samarkand city.

"Tell these barbarian cavalry, I don't want them to run to the death of how many horses, how many people died, and must find out the information that General Xu said before tomorrow morning.

"If you don't return, the military law will be engaged!"

Duan Xiushi handed over and turned around and walked out of the large army tent.

Gao Xianzhi then said: "The construction of the pontoon bridge is not allowed to stop."

"All the carriages were torn down, and the craftsmen were told that they must be built before sunset today."

Hearing this, Xu Fei hurriedly interjected, so as not to dismantle the carriage and affect the speed of the subsequent attack on Samarkand.

"General Gao, the carriage does not need to be dismantled so quickly. 35

"Thirty kilometers to the west, there is a small valley that is heavily wooded.

"Cut down trees, build pontoon bridges, ladders are enough.

"Just go to my hussars and find someone to lead the way."

After Gao Xianzhi heard this, her face brightened, and Duan Xiushi had just passed the order and walked into the tent.

The second half of the foot hasn't fully stepped in yet.

Gao Xianzhi's voice came.

663 "General Duan, you go and pick up 500 soldiers, take a carriage, and follow the hussars to the valley 30 kilometers to the west to cut down trees."

"If there is not enough manpower, we will recruit barbarian cavalry, and we must bring back enough trees before the sun sets today.

Duan Xiushi handed over again and walked out of the tent gate.

Gao Xianzhi said again: "General Xu's information is timely. If there is no such information, our army will be caught off guard, and there is a danger that the entire army will be wiped out."

"Now that the enemy reinforcements are known."

"The next battle plan, I'm afraid there will be changes.

"First of all, there are 10,000 soldiers in the enemy city to defend the city.

Here Xu Fei speaks again.

"General Gao, there are not ten thousand defenders in the city of Hengros. 39

"The 3,000 support defenders of the black-clothed food have been killed by me.

"Their heads are now on the Pamirs."

Gao Xianzhi was stunned again.

He wanted to open his mouth again, but glanced at Xu Fei.

The voice got stuck in his throat, and the words came out.

"General Xu, I don't know if you have any more information to add. 35

Li Siye on the side also looked at him.

Apparently there has just been a spate of detailed information.

Let them understand that Xu Fei is the one with the most information here.

Seeing the two looking at him, Xu Fei was not polite.

Tell all the facts and facts in Hengros city.

There were only 4,000, 1,000 camel cavalrymen and 3,000 pikemen in the city's elite. The armor rate was less than four layers, and most of them were still leather armor. Except for these 4,000 elites, the rest of the soldiers were militiamen.

The equipment for defending the city is excellent, and there are no obvious loopholes in the city defense.

In the end, Xu Fei concluded: "If there are siege equipment, a barbarian town like Hengros can be captured in half a day."

"Lack of siege equipment, the generals in the city tend to be unable to defend.

"There are only two ways to capture Hengros in a short period of time.

When Gao Xianzhi heard that Xu Fei had two options.

he asked impatiently.

"I also ask General Xu to speak quickly."

"If it is successful, I will report it to the imperial court and appoint the general to obtain the official post of a general.

Xu Fei smiled and didn't care, this nickname is General, and it's probably because of the faction's reputation that he ended up falling.

It's like raking grass and hitting rabbits.

Xu Fei said: "There are only two ways, one takes three days and needs to be used before the arrival of the black-clothed food reinforcements."5

"A quick, just depleted force.""

"Let's talk about the time-consuming part first."

"I see the city of Hengros lying down the river, at the bend. 35

"The terrain here is very suitable for water attack."

"The season is now in July, which happens to be in the wet season.

"We just need to cast a dam upstream of the Hengros and wait until the river swells.

"Dig the dam and flood the city of Hengros. 35

"After the flood, the land around Hengros will be muddy."

"When the black-clothed food reinforcements arrive, they will cross this muddy land to fight with our army.""

"Relying on this muddy and rotten land, with the elite of our army, is enough to offset the gap in the number of people."5

"And our army hides the cavalry in the upper reaches of the river, and only the infantry meets the enemy.

"If the black-clothed food is going to attack, wait until they are tired.

"Our cavalry robbed the camp at night."

"Definitely kill them all alone!

Xu Fei's strategy is out.

Gao Xianzhi's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.

"The water attack that the general said, I also thought about it."

"However, the trees on both sides of the Heng Russ are sparse, and the number of our army is small (ajag), so it is difficult to requisition the civilians.

"I'm afraid that building a dam will not have enough time.

Xu Fei said nonchalantly, "General, don't you hear it and eat the enemy's food?"

"The barbarian cavalry is large in number and low in combat power, isn't it the best people.

"Hey, if they don't want to, just add the blades together, kill them, throw them into the river, and they can also be used to block the river."

Xu Fei's words were murderous, and the general in the tent felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.

Gao Xianzhi even secretly said: "This son is more murderous than I am. They all say that the people of the Han Dynasty are brave and agile, and they treat barbarians like pigs and dogs. When I see them today, they are sure to be true."

"Although hundreds of years have passed, the warlike and bloodthirsty courage in the body has never weakened.

"What a terrible nation, and fortunately I am one of them now!

It's just that Gao Xianzhi felt that this plan was too dangerous.

"General Xu, even with the addition of 9,000 barbarian cavalry, there will not be enough time to build the dam starting today."

Xu Fei said lightly: "General, outside the city of Hengros, there are many people from the Stone Kingdom fleeing in the wild, I sent hussars to capture them, the number is enough.

"If it's not enough, the barbarians of that generation will be killed and filled in the dam. 99

Gao Xianzhi thought for a while, but still felt something was wrong in her heart.

He wanted to hear about Xu Fei's second plan.

He opened his mouth and said, "General Xu, I don't know what the second strategy is.

Seeing that Gao Xianzhi was not interested in the first kind, Xu Fei could only helplessly spread his hands.

Start talking about the second plan.

The second plan is not as troublesome as the dam plan.

Just listen to him say: "The second plan is simple.

"When the pontoon bridge is repaired and the entire army crosses the river, starting tonight, the Tang army will build a river bank camp and attack the city with barbarian cavalry ants attached to it."

"9000 barbarian cavalry, regardless of casualties, just need to attack one after another until tomorrow night. 99

"Wait until tomorrow night, and replace the siege soldiers with the Tang army.

"Attack a city wall and attract the defenders to one place."

"At midnight, I will send elite soldiers to climb up the city wall.""

"Open a gate. 35

"With the strength of my hussars, I will be able to go down in one fell swoop. 35

After Gao Xianzhi heard this plan, she was obviously moved.

Historically, he did the same.

It's just that there is no such a powerful army as Xu Fei's hussars, the barbarian cavalry will not use their deadly force, and Gao Xianzhi can't force them to attack, otherwise they will mutiny, and on this plateau, the situation will inevitably be even worse.

The combination of these reasons resulted in the failure to capture the city of Hengros.

But now with Xu Fei and hussars, these barbarian cavalry have only one choice.

That is to choose to die on the city wall, or die under the sword of his hussars.

Gao Xianzhi also clearly saw Xu Fei's plan.

Not broken.

He looked at Li Siye, who was beside him, and wanted to hear his opinion.

Li Siye opened his mouth and said, "The last general thinks that General Xu's two strategies are acceptable. 55

"The first one is a bit brutal though. 99

"But it's more successful.

"Although the second one is somewhat risky, it is also the fastest, and the time is controllable. Once the siege is unfavorable, the army can turn to guard the river bank camp, and advance and retreat without worry.

After Gao Xianzhi heard it, she tapped the map with her palm.

At this time, he actually had the answer in his heart.

No hesitation.

He quickly said: "The first strategy is somewhat lacking in time, and now I will adopt General Xu's second strategy.

"Inform the craftsmen to first dismantle some of the carriages and make a batch of cloud ladders overnight.

"Notify the Gelulu cavalry that they are all under the command of General Xu."

"After crossing the river tonight, drive the barbarian cavalry to attack the city!"
