Chapter 184

"Don't dare," Pei yuanshao and Huyan said immediately. "Please rest assured that your subordinates will help Mr. Huang, and they will never miss his important task. Originally, they were still a little reluctant. They were both in their 20s and 30s, and they had to listen to the command of a teenager. However, Huang Fu Chao Bo said that they were less reluctant. Huangfu Chaobo also knows that it's not something that can be accepted for a while and a half to let these veterans listen to a child's command, and he doesn't have to say more. Then he turned to talk about the attack of the brigands. After that, he said to Huang Xu, "Xuer, this battle is under your command. How are you going to deal with it?"

Huang Xu knew that Huangfu Chaobo intended to let him test himself in front of the crowd, but he didn't have stage fright. After standing up and thinking for a moment, he said: "uncle, the position of Longhua is very favorable for our defense. Everyone must know the surrounding terrain very well. In Xu's opinion, since he is a horse thief, he should only attack from outside the valley. In this way, uncle has arranged to build a pass According to the current speed, the outer wall of the pass should be built to a height of about 10 meters by sunrise tomorrow at the latest, so that we can rely on the wall to keep the enemy out of the pass. At present, we only have 200 cavalry and 200 archers, and we need to recruit 200 shield soldiers and 200 spearmen each. The cavalry is led by huyandu to inquire about the equine thieves outside the valley. Other people, each of them has 100 soldiers. In the town and the pass, each of them has 100 shield soldiers, 100 spearmen and 100 archers. When the brigands attack, the cavalry will hide in the distance outside the valley. I think the wall with a height of 10 feet, plus 300 infantry, will be enough to resist the attack of 600 to 800 brigands. When the brigands are unable to attack, they will send a signal to lead the cavalry to attack on both sides, and the brigands will be completely annihilated. "

Huang Xu nodded after hearing what he said, and Huangfu Chaobo was very satisfied with it. But he still asked, "if the brigands cross the river or attack from both sides at the same time, what should we do?"

On hearing this, Huang Xu said: "if the horse thieves come across the river, the 300 soldiers and horses in the town will be able to withstand at least half an hour. At this time, the soldiers and horses in the pass and the cavalry outside the valley can all come to support. If the brigands attack from both sides, we can first let some of the garrison troops in the pass resist the brigands outside the pass. In the case of the pass, 150 soldiers are enough to stop 500 brigands for an hour. First, we will concentrate our forces to eliminate the enemy outside the town, and then turn around to eliminate the brigands outside the pass. " With that, Huang Xu looked up at Huangfu Chaobo with an extremely firm look, waiting for his reply.

Huangfu Chaobo was secretly surprised when he heard Huang Xu's arrangement. He was sure to have some information. How big is that? He had never led the army. He was very smart when he opened his mouth, and the arrangement was orderly. It seems that he was right to put him here. However, although he was very happy, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he turned to look at the others and said, "Huang Xu has never led a soldier before. This is his first battle. Do you think there is anything wrong with this arrangement? If there is one, just bring it up and let's brainstorm. "

After listening to Huang Xu's arrangement, Zhou Cang, Pei yuanshao and others, who had a little contempt for him, all looked at him with new eyes and were convinced. Huangfu Chaobo didn't expect that one of his unintentional actions had solved his biggest worry. It can be said that he had no intention. Seeing that Huang Xu has been able to convince everyone, Huangfu Chaobo simply doesn't care about the attack of the horse thieves. All the things are handed over to Huang Xu, and he takes Jia Jing to watch Huang Xu arrange the coming battle tomorrow. Although he is a famous general in history, he is a little kid after all. Who knows if there will be any trouble in the middle. This small offensive and defensive war is just for him to train his troops. Huangfu Chaobo is also good at making sure that he can trust him to take care of the military affairs of this small town. Alas, there are still no famous generals of military division type. If there is a 90 + general of military division type, if you put him here, you don't have to think about anything at all. Huangfu Chaobo thought to himself. It's a pity that Huang Zhong is the only one with the highest intelligence in Huangfu Chaobo's hands now. His intelligence is more than 70, even 80, let alone 90 +.

However, Huang Xu was not timid after Huangfu Chaobo handed over everything to Huang Xu. According to what he said at the beginning, he arranged everything one by one after discussing the details with Huangfu Chaobo and other generals. After receiving the orders, all the generals acted in accordance with the arrangements one by one. Huyan had arranged for Dugu Tian to cross the river with a few warriors and more than 20 cavalry on a small raft to explore the enemy's situation, and then he took the rest of the cavalry to go out of the valley. After all, according to everyone's conjecture, nine out of ten brigands came to attack from outside the valley, so the focus of the exploration was on the grassland outside the valley. The others, with 100 soldiers each, were divided into two groups and stationed in the pass and the small town, with 100 soldiers each. In the small town, Dianwei led Pei yuanshao and Dugu Xiong, while in the pass were Huang Xu, Zhou Cang and Dugu ba.

Huangfu Chaobo was relieved to see that Huang Xu arranged everything in an orderly way, and all the generals immediately followed the arrangement. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he took Jia Jing to the pass under construction. Jia Jing complains that he is full of food and has nothing to do. Huang Fu Chao Bo laughs. When Huangfu Chaobo ran to the pass, the foundation was almost built. Both sides of the wall were built with large stones, and the middle was compacted with soil. Many people pushed huge stones almost one person high on the wall to roll back. Looking at the places where the stones had been rolled back and forth for several times, Huangfu Chaobo went up, jumped up and stamped with his feet for several times without any footprints. On both sides of the stone walls, I don't know what they were built with. Even the gaps were filled very smoothly. There were several dry places that Huangfu Chaobo couldn't see if he didn't look carefully. Now the whole wall has roughly come out of a rudiment. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang an immediately arranged for people to light bonfires everywhere on the construction site and fill the wall with torches. According to their plan, the pass must not be shut down at night, otherwise it will not be able to complete the wall one foot high before sunrise tomorrow. At the same time, we asked the villagers to bring dinner. When we had dinner together, we announced that we had to work all night tonight, but today everyone's wages were doubled. After fighting off the horse thieves tomorrow, the whole town would have a day off. At first, stimulated by the news that the brigands were coming to attack, everyone was trying their best to build the wall. Now when Zhang an's arrangements came out, everyone was very happy. In addition, Huangfu Chaobo and other generals had done a good job in the propaganda of fighting back the brigands. Now the morale of the villagers in the whole town is high.
