Chapter 614 Lou Yi’s plan

a few days later.

Yunzheng led several people to a nearby high place.

Looking through the clairvoyance, the enemy's forward troops can be clearly seen.

The terrain of Sole River Plain is very open and suitable for large armies to deploy.

In front is a large black mass of enemy cavalry.

Qiuchi and Dayue Kingdom combined have a total of 40,000 cavalry, as well as a large number of infantry.

Facing so many enemy troops, Yun Zheng was still somewhat stressed.

After all, although the city wall they built could block the enemy's offensive to a certain extent, it could not be used as a truly solid fortress.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you must eventually attack them.

Yunzheng put down his clairvoyance and asked Tong Gang, "How much dry food have been produced?"

Tong Gang replied: "It is almost enough to consume 20,000 people for ten days."

Okay!

If there are 10,000 people, it can take twenty days.

If you eat more during a long-distance raid, it will be enough for 10,000 people to consume for half a month.

Prepare it first!

If possible, it is still necessary to send elite cavalry to break into the enemy's rear.

As long as 10,000 fine cavalry rush out from the Sole River plains and break into the enemy's rear, the enemy army will be in chaos.

"Let people continue to make dry food."

Yun Zheng gave an order and then continued: "Send someone to General Dugu and the others to inquire about the situation there!"

"Yes!"

Tong Gang immediately took the order and left.

At this time, Yun Zheng turned to look at Fu Tianyan and Huo Gu again, "Our first battle depends on your performance! I say it again, no one is allowed to retreat without an order!"

"Please remember this, general!"

They both nodded at the same time.

Fu Tianyan said excitedly: "Your Highness, put it down, we servants are all very good at archery. As long as the enemy dares to attack head-on, we will definitely let them taste our power!"

You know, these servants are basically people who grew up on horses.

These people can't even handle riding and shooting, let alone shooting from a standing position?

"Okay! I believe in you!"

Yunzheng nodded slightly, "Tell your soldiers that they will be rewarded according to their merits! I will reward them as I reward other troops, and I will never treat them differently!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

They both bowed.

With Yunzheng's commitment, I believe their morale will be even higher.

……

The next day, Lou Yi and Yu Tai ordered their men to camp about six or seven miles away from the enemy, and asked their soldiers to dig nearby where water sources had been discovered to ensure a water supply for their troops.

Yu Tai and Lou Yi each led a team of troops to a nearby high place.

The two of them were very cautious and sent people to conduct inspections in front. After confirming that there was no enemy ambush, they started to move to higher places.

Soon, the two reached the high place.

This place is only five or six miles away from where Yunzheng and the others built the city.

Looking from here, one could clearly see sections of city walls that had been built in the distance.

Looking at this scene, the two of them frowned.

It's exactly what the spies said.

"This Yunzheng is really cunning!"

Yu Tai frowned and said: "I thought he was simply building a city wall before, but I didn't expect that he actually built a city wall like this..."

"Really cunning enough."

Lou Yi nodded and said: "With these city walls, they can divide our army into several sections and eat our army bit by bit! If we want to rush in, we have to sacrifice our lives..."

Yun Zheng's move was something that none of them had expected before.

They hoped that Yun Zheng would just build an entire section of the city wall.

In this way, within the limited time, the city wall built by Yunzheng will definitely not be too long or too high.

As long as they break through the city wall, they can launch a fierce attack with their superior strength.

But what Yun Zheng did now caused problems for both of them.

Rather than building a city, it is better to say that it is building Stonehenge.

The division function of this city wall is far greater than the defensive function.

It’s not easy to fight!

Although they have an absolute military advantage, if they want to break through the giant stone formation in front of them, they may have to pay heavy casualties!

In a war, no one wants to suffer too many casualties.

This time they are devoting all their efforts to fight this battle.

If you beat yourself to the point where your vitality is severely damaged, winning will be the same as losing.

"Your Highness, in your opinion, how should this battle be fought?"

Yu Tai took the initiative to ask Lou Yi for his opinion.

Although Lou Yi is a young man, Yu Tai still admires Lou Yi, a young man.

how to spell?

A bitter smile appeared on Lou Yi's face, "In this situation, there is no other way except a strong attack..."

A strong attack?

Yu Tai frowned.

Faced with such an arrangement of the enemy, the casualties of a storming attack could never be too small.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Tai finally spoke: "I think that a blind attack is not the answer. I think that we can send 20,000 cavalrymen from our department to Tianqiong Pass, and then cooperate with the defenders of Tianqiong Pass to launch an attack from there... "

While talking, Yu Tai couldn't help but pay attention to Lou Yi's face.

As expected, Lou Yi's face didn't look good.

Such a result was also expected by Yu Tai.

"General Yu, I still have 20,000 cavalry, how about sending them all to Tianqiong Pass?"

Lou Yi stared at Yu Tai.

"This……"

Yu Tai looked troubled.

"You and I both know that it is impossible for your country to let our troops enter Tianqiong Pass."

Lou Yi frowned and said: "Your army has already dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers. If you dispatch another 20,000 cavalry, it is almost equivalent to leaving Dayue Kingdom alone to fight the enemy in front! If General Yu is my prince, what will you do? Do you agree?"

It's not that he hasn't thought about Yu Tai's proposal.

But he couldn't do that.

We can’t just use the lives of Dayue Kingdom to fill the gap!

No matter how strong the alliance is, it will definitely have selfish motives.

A balance must be reached between Dayue Kingdom and Qiuchi.

Otherwise, after Dayue Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, Qiu Chi would have to deal with them.

Let alone him, no one with a sound mind would agree to Yu Tai's proposal.

"If the king is willing to allow your troops to be stationed at Tianqiong Pass, I really want your 20,000 cavalry to be stationed at Tianqiong Pass too!"

Yu Tai sighed helplessly and said with a sad face: "If His Highness does not agree, then the only option is to attack..."

"Let's attack!"

Lou Yi looked ahead from a distance, "Although it is difficult to attack our side, we still have catapults. After all, their city wall is not a complete city, and it may not be so easy to defend! Moreover, as long as one of the two armies on the ghost side wins, we will be able to defeat the enemy. The enemy army will be defeated..."

At this moment, Lou Yi felt extremely regretful.

After all, he underestimated Yun Zheng.

If they had expected that Yun Zheng would join them, why would they have to act on the border between the two countries for so long?

They should have taken advantage of the fact that the Beifu Army had not yet sent troops to occupy Beimatuo, and then advance in two directions toward the Muma Grassland.

No matter what happens, the two countries can take advantage of that time to make more catapults.

Now, the two countries combined only have twenty large catapults.

This quantity is still too small.

If there were fifty catapults, it would be much easier to break through the enemy's defense line.

He wholeheartedly wanted to design a trap for the Beifu Army and defeat the Beifu Army at the minimum cost, but in the end, his cleverness was mistaken for him.

Why bother?

This is really asking for trouble for yourself!

Yu Tai nodded, "That's all we can do. However, our catapult cannot be fully loaded at once..."

"I know!"

Lou Yi nodded and said: "The enemy is not a fool, they will definitely send people to destroy our catapult..."

Press all the catapults up at once. Once the enemy forces break through their power to protect the catapults, their catapults will be completely destroyed.

Without the auxiliary attack of the catapult, it would be more difficult for them to defeat the enemy.

On the contrary, they can take advantage of the enemy's desire to destroy their catapults and consume the enemy's vitality...
