Chapter 1201 When the Troops Are Dispatched
Chapter 1201 When the troops are dispatched
Whether it is true or false, it will be hard for Xiliang to defend against Bai Qingyan when he really sends troops.
Just as Bai Qingyan expected, after Old General Cui went back, he ordered the whole army to be on alert, laying an ambush and waiting for the big Zhou night attack...
Old General Cui felt that Bai Qingyan was full of tricks. In the previous battles with Yun Poxing, he brought a small group of troops to attack the camp at night, burning food and grass, and burning the weapon camp.
Now that Bai Qingyan blatantly said that he would come back to attack the camp at night, if they didn't take it seriously, they might be playing into Bai Qingyan's heart!
General Cui has to guard against the food and grass that Xiliang is most short of now. At the same time... General Cui also wants to damage the small force that Bai Qingyan sent to attack the camp. The fewer soldiers in the city, the more Xiliang more favorable.
After all, if it is true that the main force of the Zhou Dynasty cannot be attracted to rescue the emperor in the end, and when it is really about to hit Yunjing, General Cui will have to change his strategy to attack the city and catch Bai Qingyan to save the white game.
What he hopes more at this time is that he will send someone to send the news of Xiliang's siege to Yecheng Pass. If the guard of the Great Zhou came to rescue him and was ambushed, the main force of the Great Zhou had to turn around and come to rescue him.
Old General Cui let out a long sigh, looked up at the cloudy sky, and ordered: "Let the spies watch quietly, once the gate of the Great Zhou Army opens... report immediately!"
"yes!"
Liu Pinggao was worried, and went up to several city walls to inspect...
Seeing Liu Pinggao coming, Du Sanbao cupped his hands towards Liu Pinggao and said, "Lord Liu, I heard that they are short of food in Xiliang, do you want me to let my brothers put a roast pig on the tower here? The direction of the wind is Blow it in the direction of the Xiliang military camp, and smell the smell of meat, don't starve them to death!"
Liu Pinggao clasped his hands behind his back, shook the whip lightly with the hand holding the whip, and said, "Okay! I'm hungry... you roast a pig here! That hungry person can't do anything, you are urging him Siege the city, or rush to reincarnate?"
Liu Pinggao reprimanded Du Sanbao lukewarmly.
Du Sanbao pursed his lips, frowned and said, "I didn't think well about this method. The general doesn't need it, and there's no need to talk like this. When the last general followed General Wang Xiping, General Wang Xiping liked us to think of a way the most. Even if the method doesn’t work, it always means we have used our brains!”
"Then do I still have to praise you!" Liu Pinggao lightly whipped Du Sanbao's shoulder with his horsewhip, and approached Du Sanbao again, his voice softened, "Your Majesty is in the city now, we put safety first , I also like your lively mind, but you like to mess around! Your Majesty is... when you are not active, follow His Majesty's orders carefully! When your Majesty is not here... when we are fighting, you can come up with whatever you want! "
Hearing what Liu Pinggao said, Du Sanbao clasped his fists and cupped his hands towards Liu Pinggao: "Master Liu's words are reasonable, Du Sanbao will definitely not kill before playing, everything is at the command of Master Liu and His Majesty!"
Liu Ping chuckled and nodded Du Sanbao's helmet while holding the whip: "Your Majesty will remember you, and you will have a bright future in the future, so don't mess around, do you understand?"
"Alas!" Du Sanbao responded, and his dissatisfaction with Liu Pinggao's idea quietly dissipated.
Watching Liu Pinggao leave, Du Sanbao's subordinates trotted over, straightened the helmet on his head and asked Du Sanbao: "General, when shall we open the city gate?"
"What's the rush..." Du Sanbao said towards the Xiliang army encamped around the city in the distance, "Look at the bright lights in the Xiliang army, let's open the city gate after they fall asleep, so we won't scare them to death! "
The cold wind howled, quite a sense of panic.
The lanterns on the tower of Gyantse City were blown wildly by the wind, while the lights of the Xiliang Military Camp in the distance were like destroying the Milky Way, encircling Gyantse City tightly. A beautiful view.
February 11th is the day when Bai Qingyan decides to counterattack. On that day...she wants to let Old General Cui accomplish everything, whether it is to rob food or to ambush the Zhou army coming from the direction of Yecheng Pass. The soldiers in Xiliang were divided, so it was easy to deal with them.
Before that, Bai Qingyan hoped to get help from the people in the city as much as possible.
That night, the Zhou army inside the high wall had a good night's sleep, but the Xiliang army outside the city did not have such good luck.
Old General Cui also stayed up all night. After telling the soldiers to turn off the lights, he sat quietly in the tent and waited for Bai Qingyan to send troops to attack at night.
Sure enough, not long after their Xiliang army turned off the lights, their spies came to report that the west gate of Da Zhou had opened...
The Xiliang army immediately waited in full force, especially the Xiliang army who surrounded the Xicheng Gate held their knives and arrows tightly and dared not let go.
But who knew that after waiting for more than an hour, the Zhou army did not come to attack, and when they heard that the gate of the east city was opened, the Xiliang army that surrounded the east city began to guard again, but it has been a long time and no attack has been seen for a long time.
Old General Cui sat in the tent and ordered all the generals surrounding the four gates of Gyangze City to be on alert. This must be Bai Qingyan's trick to paralyze their Xiliang army.
However, when the North City Gate was opened for an hour and the Zhou army still did not come to attack the camp, Old General Cui noticed something was wrong.
At this time, most of the night had already passed, and the Xiliang army who had been on guard in the middle of the night did not wait for the enemy to attack the camp, but all of them were showing signs of fatigue.
Not to mention the lack of food, and the inability to sleep well, some people in the barracks even began to doubt General Cui's judgment on the situation of the war, muttering whether General Cui was getting old.
The actions of the Great Zhou Army frequently opened the city gates, making Old General Cui, who had ordered the soldiers to stand on guard for so long... the more he felt that this was Bai Qing's intention to set up a suspicious formation.
She must have wanted to disturb their Xiliang army, and make Xiliang think that every time Dazhou opened and closed the city gate, it was just to scare them, and had no real intention of attacking the camp.
General Cui said to the generals in Xiliang: "Next, the Great Zhou will open the South Gate! If I were the Emperor of the Great Zhou, once the South Gate is opened... there will still be no Great Zhou army attacking the camp, pretending to tease Xiliang Liang army, after we let down our vigilance in Xiliang, we will definitely open the city gate again and send troops out to attack the camp! Go... and send a few more spies to watch the south gate to see if there are any big Zhou soldiers coming out after the south gate of Gyantse city is opened!"
Soon Xiliang sent more spies to the south gate, and the south gate opened and closed slowly, but it was true that Da Zhou sent troops out to attack the camp.
After the spies reported back, the soldiers from Xiliang praised General Cui for his foresight.
Old General Cui gritted his teeth, stood up, and said affirmatively: "The next time the gate of the Great Zhou City is opened again, it will be time to send out troops!"
The third watch, good night, little ancestors!
Take care! Ask for a monthly pass...
