Drunkenly Resting Head Against Rivers and Mountains Chapter 742: Spoken words like gold

"Macheng? The Khitan people have passed through Macheng several times but haven't entered. How can we get the idea of ​​Macheng now?"

Li Duozuo was taken aback and hurried back to look at the map on the wall. M. This map is a relatively simple map that he drew after asking the local county magistrate. It can only indicate the general orientation of cities and towns and several well-known mountains and rivers. It has limited military value and can only enhance the impression more vividly. That's it.

Li Duozuo nodded a small circle with the word Macheng in it, and pondered for a long time. Li Duozuo now has not only few soldiers, but also few widows. When he is full of people, only the two Lang who he brought from Feathered Forest Guards and Ma Qiao, besides, there are only Yang Fan, so there are four members in total.

Of the four, Ma Qiao and Yang Fan are halfway monks.

Ma Qiao climbs from the soldiers step by step in the army all the year round. His personal martial arts are outstanding, and the march is okay. This kind of ability to analyze the enemy's situation and decision strategy is far from the point. Yang Fan has a worse role in the army than he can. He cannot lead troops, march, or form battles. The battle is also based on personal bravery, and he is not good at commanding headquarters to exert collective power.

As for this kind of strategic decision, he is even less good at it, so the two of them stood side by side and played Xu Shu.

Yu Linlang said Li Mulan: "Great General, Macheng is not big, and there are few supplies. The Khitan people have passed through this area in the past, and they have never tried their ideas. Now the Khitan people have looted more materials and more It is not necessary to fight its idea. If the force is attacked, it will be more than a gain for the Khitan people. Will the Khitan people pass through the place and take a short break, causing the Macheng County Order to panic? "

Li Duozuo's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he shook his head gently, saying, "The purpose of the Qidan people is still unclear to us. How many troops they have, it is unclear now. It is difficult to judge them from the current information alone. The real purpose of the. "

Another Yulin Lang told Chu Yi: "The enemy is unknown, our army is weak, and it is not appropriate to act rashly. Great General, we should first send a scout to check the situation of the Khitan and then do it."

Li Duozuo nodded and said: "The scout is to be sent. You can send people to find out the details of the Qidan people. Also, ask the local county magistrate to arrange a local guide to accompany you. 'S scolders are also unfamiliar. "

Chu Yi agreed, and hurried out. Several people discussed it again in the handsome account. The attempts of the Khitan people were still unregulated. At this time, the soldiers came to report, and the Macheng county magistrate sent another person.

Li Duozuo asked people to bring in the messenger who asked for help. After reading the letter of help written by the Macheng county magistrate, he asked him, "You said that the Khitan people brought a lot of looted supplies?"

The messenger said: "Yes! The Qidan people are now stationed in Pingjia'ao, forty miles southwest of Macheng. A local Woodcutter was shocked to see a large number of Qidan people entering the mountain and saw them when they flee. There are hundreds of vehicles, big and small, filled with grain and various kinds of property. "

Li Mulan showed a relaxed expression on his face and said: "It seems that the so-called attack on Macheng is just a false alarm. The Qidan people have so much food and grass, it is impossible to even want to play a little pony city. Macheng is built against the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the mountain city is barren, there is nothing to snatch, Qidan people are not here to be determined. "

The letter sent by the Na Macheng county magistrate said: "This general, we also thought that the Qidan people were not interested in Ma Cheng, but their soldiers and horses had arrived in Ma Cheng. They first sent a tour After riding around Macheng, the army arrived, and they were stationed outside the city on the southwest side of Macheng, and they were making siege equipment. "

Li Duozuo originally thought it was the snake shadow of the Macheng County Order Cup, and he frowned as he heard the news.

It is understandable that the Qidan people let go of the North City. They are not good at attacking the city. Their purpose has always been to loot, not to destroy the power of the whole city. Therefore, the siege has always let it go. Then they went into the city and looted a lot. Now they are in this posture, obviously they want to fight Macheng.

How many soldiers and horses does the Khitan have? If you want to go to aid, you have to fight in the field. Li Duozuo is not only a weak soldier, but also has limited cavalry power. If he hurries to send troops, he is afraid that he will not be able to solve the encirclement of Macheng. Instead, he will completely bury his army. If that's the case, it's better to stay alive.

Macheng Courier is constantly urging, but Li Daozuo will not act rashly until he has more accurate information. Li Duozuo ordered people to take the Macheng messenger to go to rest first, while continuing to analyze the Qidan people's combat intentions, while waiting for the news of the Hou.

In the middle of the night, Houhou finally returned, and Li Duozuo hurriedly got up and heard the news. Yang Fan, Ma Qiao, Chu Yi, and Li Mulan lived around the handsome account, and they hurried when they heard the news.

Yang Fan did n’t tell Li Duozuo that his family was chasing north, Anu and Gu Zhuting would n’t be able to show up. Fortunately, after they returned to the city, they changed their costumes, and they returned to the big merchants who were doing justice. In their original residence. The county magistrate treats the two as welcoming guests and treats them diligently.

This reprimanded the Hou Bing in his early thirties, with a good look and a well-organized speech: "Great General, the Khitans were attacking Macheng. When the low-ranking rushed to Macheng nearby, they had already made use of the trees in the mountains. With some rudimentary siege equipment, a fire broke out and attacked Macheng at night. "

Since Li Duozuo, all the generals will be gods. Na Hou went on to say: "The brothers climbed the high mountain and observed the fire under the mountain. Khitan surrounded the west city without fighting, and concentrated their forces to attack the south city. The total strength was about 10,000!"

Macheng is not big, especially built against the mountain. It is more difficult to attack from the west. If you only concentrate on attacking Nancheng, 10,000 soldiers are enough. If there are more people, they will not be arranged. Five or six thousand people were involved in the battle.

Li Duozuo said in a deep voice: "How many people are they staying in Pingjia'ao?"

These reprimands were divided into actions, some went to Macheng and some went to Pingjia'ao. All the news was reported to this reprimand leader, so the reprimand was all clear and immediately replied: "Brothers touch the black Looking at Pingjia'ao, it is not very clear. It is estimated that the defending army will not exceed 3,000 people at most. "

He paused and added: "The sides of Pingjia'ao are steep and dangerous. Only the medicine farmer Woodcutter can climb with a rope. The army can neither pass nor stand. The Qidan people only have to guard the valley mouth, and three thousand people are enough. The brothers judged that Taniguchi had fewer than 3,000 defenders because it was unable to arrange more soldiers there. "

Li Duozuo gently nodded his head, and Li Mulan said angrily: "Kidan is not arrogant now, he doesn't take us in his eyes at all, knowing that we are stationed here, he actually divided his troops and attacked Macheng, leaving only three thousand guards It ’s a big deal, and the big slap does n’t take us seriously! ”

Hou Weilu was embarrassed and said: "General, the humble job has not been finished yet. The humble job waited to find out clearly. On the way back to Qianjinye, there was a smell of horses in the wind. It is impossible for one or two horses to emit such a big smell. In doubt, the humble students gave up their horses and walked to the detective on foot to find that there was a Qidan soldier ambushing on the Luohe River.

Ma Wuchangxiao, everyone is silent, very secretive, it seems that the Qidan people have made preparations, not let the horse make a little noise. Due to the darkness of the sky, the inferior position cannot accurately judge their number, and it is estimated according to the topography that it should be at most eight thousand rides. The humble job did not dare to delay for a long time, fearing to be detected by them, and quickly returned quietly. "

Li Duozuo suddenly changed and hurried to look on the map again. This map is drawn because of the description of the local population. Naturally, the closer it is, the clearer it is, and the farther it is, the less grass it is. Macheng is the closest city to Qianjinye, and the two have the most frequent exchanges, so the middle road of the mountain river is most clearly depicted.

Li Duozuo took a closer look. Luohe is the confluence of two large rivers. There is a delta here, which is the place where the Khitan soldiers ambushed by Hou. Li Duozuo carefully recalled the geography and area of ​​the place he knew. If it were all cavalry, it should be at most 5,000. If there are more people and horses arranged, in fact, once they are rushed, they cannot be arranged, but instead Influence the play of combat power.

This estuary is the key point for Qianjinyecheng to assist the horse city. Qianjinyecheng is in the north of the horse city. At this time, it is early winter and the north wind is blowing, so the soldiers and horses going to the aid cannot smell many war horses. The smell generated by the aggregation. If it were not for Hou's discovery, when Li Duozuo led the army to rush to aid, this Qidan ambush suddenly killed ...

Looking at the dangers of the Khitan people, Li Duozuo could not help but take a breath.

He has a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, including nearly half of the heavy soldiers, with limited combat power. Moreover, once he went to aid, he could not leave a part of his troops to guard Qian Jinye, and his limited strength to assist Macheng was limited. If the limited soldiers and horses were again attacked by Khitan's ambush, the whole army would only be wiped out in a short time.

Li Mulan's face was ugly and said: "What a cunning Khitan, so to say, we can't divide our troops to help."

Chu Yi also said solemnly: "I do n’t know how many soldiers and horses are still in the Qidan people, maybe they still ambush a soldier and horse in the dark, just waiting for us to send troops, then take the opportunity to attack Qianjinye, although this city has no How much grain and grass, but there are a lot of iron tools, the Qidan people fight again and again, the damage of arrows and weapons must also be serious, I am afraid this is their real goal. "

Li Duozuo shook his head and said: "No! If their soldiers and horses are so arranged ~ IndoMTL.com ~ then their goal should be Macheng. Or, they want to eat our soldiers to help Horse, and then wield an army to win thousands of gold medals, and there is little chance of ambushing. "

Li Duozuo pointed to the map and said: "Look, according to the latest report we have received, a team of Qidan soldiers and horses defending Lou Shide Lou Great General in the Qilao Mountain area and another in the Kunyang River area, Faced with Wu Youyi, who fought in Fengyu, the Khitans, despite winning one after another, became more and more arrogant, but to resist such two soldiers and horses, each of their soldiers and horses will not be less than 20,000.

Although the Khitan won successively, some small Khitan tribes who did not follow their rebellion also fled in succession, but their surrender only supplemented the loss of soldiers caused by the continuous fighting of the Khitan. Their total strength is still only six. 70,000 people. In this case, the maximum number of Khitans who appeared in the Macheng area was 20,000 at most. The total of about 20,000 people who attacked Macheng, stayed behind, and added to the ambush on this road had used all their strength. They There is no room for another ambush. "

When he knew that he was not good at military accidents, he concealed Yang Fan. When he saw Li Duozuo drawing on the map, he suddenly shuddered and thought of a terrible possibility. "Mr. Xu Shu" coughs gave a cry and was ready to speak ...
