Chapter 984

"It's good if you don't come, it's good if you don't come." at this moment, mutor felt like a heavy burden. Where is he a little like a brave general in the warra tribe.

Finally, mutor was safe. After a while of breathing, he calmed down. Then several commanders of his generals who fled with him called and asked, "tell me, how many enemies are there this time?"

"More than 20000 looks," said a frank commander without thinking.

As soon as the voice came out, mutor's face showed a very dignified expression, which seemed a little unhappy.

"I think there are at least 40000." another commander noticed the change on mutor's face and quickly stated his position.

"I see 70000 or 70000 people, otherwise how could our 30000 army be defeated so quickly." as soon as the figure of 40000 fell, another commander said a different opinion.

Until now, mutor's expression became much kinder. "I think there are 70000 or 70000 people. We fought hard for two days and two nights in this war. Finally, we hit the enemy no less than 50000 cavalry. Later, we retreated because of lack of troops. Everyone said whether it was right or not."

This is lying with your eyes open. It is said that mutor is not such a character at ordinary times. He is only defeated and injured. He can't explain to the leader first. He can only think of using this method to explain everything. In this way, he will not only make mistakes, but also make meritorious contributions.

The LORD set the tone, and the other commanders didn't want to be affected by the defeat. After a little hesitation, everyone recognized such a fabricated fact. Soon, they also called the following thousand and Centurion to unify their caliber.

A big defeat is so called a big victory by them, which is also a kind of "art" of war.

Outside the city, the attack continues. This is the twelfth consecutive siege.

After the first day of the siege was hit hard by "weapons of mass destruction", the infantry commander General Kurban changed his attack strategy. At most 2000 people were sent from one wall at a time. Under such a scale, the two sides fought like you come and go, and there was no match.

Even several times, it was almost possible to attack the city tower. Under several hopes, Kurban increasingly gave birth to a sense of suffering between hope and disappointment. When he made a summary when he had nothing to do, he was surprised to find a fact that the defensive ability of the five-star army seemed to be strong and weak from time to time, and every three days, the defensive ability would become weak, and then strengthened day by day until the fourth day.

Kurban could not understand why such a result would be formed. The only thing he could do was to continue to attack the city, pay a heavy price and try his best to consume the strength of the other party. Didn't the scouts say that? In the beginning of the city, the enemy has a scale of 40000 soldiers. If such consumption is fought down, even if two or even three are replaced, the final victory will still belong to him.

Kurban had a good idea. But he didn't know that the reason why he was given the illusion of being strong and weak in defense was entirely because the soldiers guarding the city changed rules every three days. After 12 days of siege, the five-star army has replaced four groups of veterans. Those recruits who have experienced the three-day city defense have completed the process of transforming into veterans, and then went to the new second army to report. From beginning to end, the main force of the new army has never been used.

Unable to know the specific situation in the city, Kurban only tried again and again. Then ten days later, the five-star army guarding the city was still strong and weak, so people couldn't find the reason. Kurban was surprised to find that there were only 10000 soldiers available in his hands.

After attacking the city for 22 consecutive days, 50000 infantry in his hands were dead and injured. Now there are only 10000 healthy people. He finally had to find prime minister arip and ask for reinforcements.

I didn't expect that Shicheng was so difficult to attack, but it was only three days later. Feidan didn't attack, and the number of soldiers attacking the city was insufficient, which made arip very unhappy. But for the time being, he couldn't think of a better way. Helpless, he had to replace the original 20000 cavalry with infantry and handed it over to Kurban.

Just after arip had finished this work, another news came, and the 30000 iron cavalry sent by the vara Department came back. But only 5000 people came back from 30000 people who went out, that is to say, they probably encountered a great defeat when attacking Mobei city.

Mutor is back. He could have returned a few days in the morning, but he deliberately delayed in order to show that he did have a hard fight with the five-star army. As soon as he got back to the camp, he was called over for questioning.

"What's the matter? I give you 30000 iron cavalry. You only brought back 5000 people. The leader needs an explanation." first, there is a cold light in his eyes. If mutor's answer is wrong, he will raise his butcher's knife and kill.

The heart sighed. Thanks to the preparation in advance, mutor pretended to be calm as much as possible and told the lie he had made up before. After he finished, he pretended to look like a mournful face and said, "Lord leader, it's entirely because the scouts' intelligence is unfavorable that we have been badly hurt."

"Eighty five star army, where did this come from?" the one who was frowned by mutor's explanation was also stunned. When did there be so many five-star armies in Mobei city? If so, it would be a big victory if 30000 fought 80000, wiped out 50000 riders and escaped 5000 people.

"The last general doesn't know." mutor shook his head innocently, and then pretended to be wronged according to what he thought before. "Lord leader, do you think it's the military God who transferred the main army to the direction of Mobei City, and all the infantry left in the beginning city?"

"Huh?" the so-called one word awakened the dreamer, who was awakened by such a word in an instant. When you think about it, this idea is not unreasonable. The important thing is that there is no possibility other than this explanation. "OK, I see. I'll meet arip right away and tell him about it in detail."

In order to shirk his responsibility, mutor found such an excuse, which facilitated the second meeting with arip first, and accelerated the defeat of their coalition forces.

In the main account, arip was invited first, and told all the things that happened to mutor and his conjecture. "Prime minister, now it seems that our previous estimation is wrong. The cavalry of the five-star army is not in Shicheng city. What they leave is only infantry. This can explain why we lost the siege and would be defeated if we sent troops to Mobei city."

First of all, it's reasonable. The smart arip was also misled and made the same judgment. "Well, that should be the case. But the high walls of the city are strong. Even if all the left are infantry, what can we do if we can't get in?"

Seeing arip agree with his judgment, he was first proud. In his eyes, arip was very smart. Even he agreed with his judgment that there should be no cavalry of the five-star army in the city. In this way, the previous military plan should also be changed. "Prime minister, the leader knows that you have done your best, but as you said, when the military God built the first city, he was afraid to consider the security of the city, so it is very difficult to capture them. That is, we need to think of another way."

"Think of another way." arip's face remained unchanged and his heart was really very curious. "But I don't know what the chief thinks?"

"Hehe, there are some ideas, but I just don't know if it works. I'd like to ask the prime minister to give me some advice." he smiled first. He did have a bold idea and intended to show off in front of arip.

"The leader's idea must not be wrong. I'd like to hear it in detail." arip saw that he was selling off first, so he simply met the other party's requirements and said these words with an expression of seeking emotion and knowledge.

Arip's attitude was so low that he was filled with a sense of pride. At the moment, he burst into laughter and then said: "The leader thinks so. It's not enough to attack Shicheng only by ladder. That's why we might as well go to Beiming to get some artillery. It will get twice the result with half the effort. Only in Shicheng crisis, the five-star cavalry of Mobei city must be assisted. At that time, we only need to attack it halfway, and then great things can be achieved."

"Is encirclement false, and is it true to attack aid and reinforcements?" arip's mind turned quickly and pointed to the core of the problem.

"No. It's true to attack reinforcements, and it's also true to attack Shicheng. At that time, no matter which side has made progress, it will be our victory." he shook his head first, then nodded, with a smile in his eyes.

This time arip didn't answer immediately. He was thinking about the feasibility of the matter. Thinking that they still have the advantage of military strength, and it is feasible to fight on both sides, he agreed. But a bigger question was put in front of him, "will the northern Ming army give us artillery?"

"We don't want their guns. We picked up a hundred guns on the battlefield before, but we don't have enough shells. Now we just ask them to hand over their guns, and we don't want them for nothing. We can trade with them and trade with surplus horses in the army, which is exactly what they need. There must be no problem." I was very confident when I said this first.

"War horses trade shells, but we don't have too many war horses." arip thought that he had just arranged 20000 cavalry to change into infantry to attack the city. Was it his idea to fight 20000 war horses first?
