Chapter 228 Strategizing
"Master Chen is right, if Wanyan Pingqiu's 100,000 soldiers invade Yanyun County, then we will not be able to gain a foothold here." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"And we have to fight alone, we can't expect the emperor to reinforce us." Wei Yuntian said.
"Yuntian, haven't you seen the current situation clearly? Wanyan Pingqiu is a wolf and Li Wanjiang is a tiger. No matter who they come in the future, it will be a disaster for us!" Chen Jisheng laughed.
"There are wolves wanting to enter the door in front, and tigers watching behind. What can we do in such a situation?" Ye Baiqing sighed.
"Let's die and live again! Although the current situation is still severe, we did a good start. We defeated a little fox in this battle. In the future, wolves will fight wolves, and tigers will fight tigers. Tigers are not yet If you can bite people, let's beat wolves first." Xiao Chen has always been so optimistic.
"You may not be able to kill wolves, but you may be able to block them." Zhuge Xiaosheng took the map of Yanyun County and pointed to Niutoushan, "Master Zhishen, what do you think?"
"For the current plan, there is no other way. If they come, we can only fight to the death with them here!" Li Tanhua said.
"Master, how many soldiers and horses do you have in Niutoushan?" Wei Yuntian asked.
"Hehe, the poor monk only has more than 500 monks and soldiers, plus the local defenders, there are only about 2,000 people, but there are also some casualties, and now there are about 1,500 people." Li Tanhua only had 2,000 people. , was able to hold on to Niutoushan for more than a month, and Wuluolan's 20,000 Xianbo cavalry attacked many times, but they just couldn't beat it.
But he only had such a small number of people, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, so he could only rely on the natural danger of Niutoushan to take a defensive position.
Now there are more than 10,000 people in Xiao Chen, and the total size of the Niutoushan garrison is more than 12,000. As long as they are arranged properly, they are enough for a battle!
"But the northern border is so long, what if Wanyan Pingqiu turns around from the east? We don't have any troops to defend it now. There are not enough troops to defend such a long border." Yue Zhonglin said.
"There is a big river from west to east, which leads directly to the North Sea. The narrowest part of the river is more than 100 meters. It is not easy for them to cross the river, but it is going to enter the cold winter. Once the river freezes, they will go to the river. It's like walking on flat ground." Ye Baiqing said.
"If that's the case, they will have to go far away. It's not easy for an army of one hundred thousand to march in winter, especially after it snows, their horses have no grass to eat, so they need a lot of luggage to follow. It will also be quite slow." Wei Yuntian said.
"Now Yanyun County has been almost completely plundered by Wu Luolan, especially the northern states that have been looted the most cleanly. There is hardly a grain of food left. What will his army of 100,000 people eat when they enter Yanyun County? No? How can he guard such a long grain road brought from their country? We can send troops to attack him at any time!" Lin Yue said.
"Well, he went south this time to plunder the territory, but occupying those cities that are almost empty is actually of no value at all. No one has no food or anything. What is he doing to occupy it? Unless he moves the entire Mojie country Come here, so that you can stand on your feet." Zhuge Xiaosheng's opinion was exactly the same as Wu Luolan's.
"And out of the 100,000 people, at least 60,000 are soldiers from other tribes. These tribes have their own ghosts and are not in harmony with him. Immediately, it will be scattered." Li Tanhua said.
"So now it's uncertain whether Wanyan Pingqiu will send troops?" Xiao Chen asked the crux of the problem in one sentence.
"I think he is still hesitating, otherwise he should have sent troops long ago, and he wouldn't wait until winter." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Do you think there is a possibility?" Xiao Chen suddenly wondered, "The purpose of his summoning this 100,000 army is not to go south in a big way, but to destroy Xianbo?"
"We can't rule out this possibility. Xianbo was originally at odds with their Mojie, but it has gradually grown stronger in recent years. This is indeed a great threat to their Mojie country." Li Tanhua said.
"Then why didn't he lead troops to fight Xianbo while Wu Luolan came out?" Wei Yuntian asked.
"I think this is exactly the cunning of Wanyan Pingqiu. Although Wu Luolan has brought out 20,000 elite soldiers, Xianbo still has 40,000 to 50,000 troops. It's not easy for the mighty Xianbo, what if there is a fight over there, and Wu Luolan leads his troops back to attack him, Mo Jie?" Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"So if he wants to destroy Xianbo, he must first eliminate the 20,000 people in Wuluolan. Wuluolan looted a lot of property from Yanyun County, which made other tribes jealous, but no one could It’s not good to take the initiative to come out and grab it, so when Wanyan Pingqiu raised her arms and called out to unite with everyone in the name of going south, they all readily agreed.”
"He can find any excuse to go to war with Wu Luolan, and then share the huge wealth with the big guy equally. As long as the big guy accepts it, it is tantamount to being an open enemy with Xianbo. At this time, he will propose to join forces Send troops to eliminate Xianbo, and everyone will agree..."
"Brother Zhuge saw it right!" Li Tanhua praised, "If I were Wanyan Pingqiu, I would do the same."
"It's no wonder that Wu Luolan is reluctant to retreat for so long, I'm afraid she also expected this situation?" Xiao Chen said.
"Well, so this little prince is amazing. If everything goes according to her plan, Wanyan Pingqiu will have nothing to do with her." Zhuge Xiaosheng smiled slightly, "It's a pity that her plan didn't change quickly. She actually failed at the beginning, for three reasons..."
"First, she is too anxious. If she wants to realize this big plan, first of all, she should fully control the power of Xianbo, so that she has no worries; second, she failed to occupy the most critical place, Niutoushan, which has caused her to be at a loss now; second. The third is that I didn't expect that the commander-in-chief would lead his troops out of the customs, and gave her such a sudden move!" Xiao Chen said.
"Boss is wise!" The big guys gave Xiao Chen a thumbs up together.
"Otherwise, can I be your boss?" Xiao Chen smiled triumphantly.
"Damn it, the more I listen, the more confused I become! So, will Wanyan Pingqiu send troops to attack us? Or will he attack that Wu Luolan?" Wei Yuntian's IQ is not low, but among these people In front of the sperm, it is also slightly inferior, unable to keep up with the rhythm.
"We are just analyzing the situation now, but we can't draw a definite conclusion, because the situation is subject to change at any time. We assume that Wanyan Pingqiu will attack Wu Luolan, but this does not mean that he will not attack us. Maybe he will follow the trend. Go south and occupy the important place of Niutoushan first." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"It's entirely possible." Li Tanhua nodded in agreement.
"Then is there another possibility that Wanyan Pingqiu and Wu Luolan reach some kind of agreement, and then join forces to attack us?" Ye Baiqing asked.
