At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 192 Xu Da offers a plan to attack Hezhou

Outside Wujiang City, Li San's army of more than 70 troops faced Wujiang City across the mountain.

The atmosphere in the big camp of the Sizhou Army was very dull.

Li Sanqi, Guo Xing, Xu Da, Cheng Neng, Luo Erhu, and military advisor Liu Bowen were all sitting at the desks in front of each other in the big tent, and they were all silent, while Li Sanqi sat at the head, lowering his eyebrows thinking.

For a moment.

Li Sanqi: "Everyone, our army along the way finally rushed to the vicinity of Wujiang City after General Feng took down Quanjiao City. Dashan, and on the other side of the mountain is Wujiang City. This time, I convened everyone to attack Wujiang City for the purpose of discussing, do I want to bypass this mountain and attack from other roads?"

Guo Xing answered immediately: "Reporting to General Li, according to my subordinates, we can't go around."

Li Sanqi: "Why?"

Guo Xing: "One, our army marched towards Wujiang City on September [-]rd, but it was not until today at Maoshi that we successfully arrived near this mountain outside Wujiang City. We just rushed to Wujiang City. It took seven days and too much time on the road. If we make another detour, it will be very difficult to avoid being spotted by the defenders of Wujiang City."

"Second, although this mountain hinders our progress, it is an opportunity for us. With this mountain, the Yuan army of Wujiang City is also unaware of our arrival. We may use this mountain to attack Wujiang City Yuan Jun was caught off guard."

Li Sanqi nodded when he heard Guo Xing's words, and looked at the others: "What about you? What do you think?"

Cheng Neng heard the words, and then said: "Report to General Li, my subordinates agree with Guo Ying's words."

Li Sanqi nodded, and when he was about to say something, Luo Erhu spoke.

Luo Erhu: "I don't think it's a big problem whether to take a detour or not. The main question is whether or not you can win Wujiang City is the most important thing? According to my thinking, if you take a detour, can you win Wujiang City?" But if we don’t take a detour, our army will be dragged here, what should we do with the so much food and grass we brought, and the ten cannons? After all, siege will kill people, and the dead people may not be there Few. If you can open the city gates with cannons, that would be a different matter."

Li Sanqi frowned at Luo Erhu's words.

at this time.

Xu Da stood up and glanced at everyone: "Generals and military advisers, I thought that Wujiang City could be managed by an army here, but cities like Hezhou, Hanshan, Liyang, Dangtu, and Chaoxian And other places, why not choose another general to lead the army to conquer them all?"

Xu Da's words moved Li Sanqi's heart.

But after all, Li Sanqi is the main general of the army this time, and Liu Bowen is the military adviser of the army this time, so he still has to ask Liu Bowen for his opinion.

Although Li Sanqi doesn't have much affection for Liu Bowen, but after all, the other party is a military adviser, and he still has some abilities.In Li Sanqi's view, Liu Bowen's role here is to check for omissions and fill in vacancies.

Liu Bowen's face remained calm all the time. He met Li Sanqi's eyes when he heard Li Sanqi asking himself, and said, "General Li must have made a decision in his heart, and Liu Bowen thinks it's feasible."

After all, Liu Bowen continued to remain silent.

After Li Sanqi received Liu Bowen's reply, he became firm in his mind, so Li Sanqi immediately stood up, looked around the crowd and said: "I have decided to divide the troops into two groups, each with [-] troops, and stay behind to attack Wujiang City." The candidates are Luo Erhu, Cheng Neng and Guo Xingfu, and Liu Junshi is also staying. As for me and Xu Da, we are heading towards Hezhou. After I break through Hezhou, I will continue to lead troops to attack Liyang, Dangzhou Tu, Hanshan and other places. I will take half of the medical soldiers."

As for why Li Sanqi brought Xu Da instead of others, Li Sanqi had his own considerations.

In Li Sanqi's view, Xu Da's military talent is better than others, so he can be his good deputy.

Hearing Li Sanqi's decision, Luo Erhu, Cheng Neng, and Guo Xing had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After Li Sanqi ordered [-] soldiers and horses and prepared food, grass and equipment, before leaving, he approached Liu Bowen and had a conversation with him.

After getting Liu Bowen's personal promise that he would do his best to make suggestions, Li Sanqi led [-] soldiers and horses towards Hezhou.

In order to prevent the army from being exposed to the eyeliner of the Yuan army defenders in Wujiang City, Li Sanqi chose to lie down at night and march towards Hezhou.

Until September [-]th, Li Sanqi led the army to a place called Jilong Mountain.

The army also stationed in Jilong Mountain.

After finishing camping, it was already sunset time.

Xu Da accompanied Li Sanqi to the top of Jilong Mountain.

Under the cover of the trees on Jilong Mountain, they looked towards Hezhou together.

"General, it's better for Hezhou to be taken down by the subordinates!" Xu Da said to Li Sanqi, pointing in the direction of Hezhou.

Li Sanqi didn't make a sound immediately, but asked, "How do you want to take it down?"

Xu Da had obviously responded to Li Sanqi's question long ago, and Xu Da replied without hesitation: "Although Hezhou City is not big, it is very strong, and we can only use tactics to outsmart it, not head-to-head attack. If we attack by force, we will lose the soldiers and horses of our Sizhou army. That is to say, the Hezhou defenders have a certain strength, at least not particularly weak."

Li Sanqi glanced at Xu Da in surprise: "We just arrived at Jilong Mountain, you know the situation in Hezhou?"

Xu Da replied unhurriedly: "Reporting to General Li, the situation of Hezhou was learned by the subordinates who sent their own soldiers to go scouting. As early as when General Li decided to attack Hezhou, his subordinates Your Majesty has already sent people to Hezhou to inquire about the news in advance."

Li Sanqi praised: "You are very good, no wonder the general always praises you in front of me!"

Xu Da did not answer, but said with a smile: "This subordinate is just doing what it is supposed to do."

Li Sanqi nodded and said, "Then how do you win and win Hezhou with the least cost?"

Xu Da replied: "Subduing the enemy's soldiers without fighting is also a good one."

Li Sanqi: "Tell me specifically?"

Xu Da asked: "When General Feng captured Quanjiao City, the subordinates heard that General Feng gave him [-] sets of Quanjiao yuan army armor."

Li Sanqi looked at Xu Da suspiciously: "Just tell me, what are you planning?"

Xu Da smiled and said, "General Li, the Quanjiao Yuanjun's heart is towards the Jiqing Road Yuanjun. You say, if we pretend to be Quanjiao Yuanjun and ask for help from the Hezhou Yuanjun, do you think so?"

Li Sanqi showed hesitation on his face: "If we edit this letter for help, I'm afraid it will be easy to show our feet."

Xu Da replied: "General Li, don't worry, Xu Da has already dealt with this matter."

After Xu Da finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Sanqi.

After reading it in a hurry, Li Sanqi said excitedly: "With this letter, the guard general of the Yuan Army in Hezhou will definitely believe it. I understand what you mean. You want me to pick out 3000 soldiers from the Sizhou Army. Everyone wears the armor of the Quanjiao Yuan Army, and then asks for help from the Hezhou Road Yuan Army in the name of asking for help from Jiqing Road?"

Xu Da replied: "What the general said is not bad, but there are two inadequacies. I need to trouble General Li."

Li Sanqi glanced at Xu Da: "Let's hear it!"

"The first problem is that General Li needs to be troubled to find a person who can speak Mongolian to pretend to be an envoy of the Yuan army asking for help, and his identity is a Mongolian nobleman."

Hearing Xu Da's words, Li Sanqi replied: "It looks like a Mongolian nobleman, is this okay?"

Xu Da responded: "Yes!"

Li Sanqi smiled and said: "This matter is simple. The [-] army I brought this time has more than a dozen who look like Mongolian nobles and can speak Mongolian. When the time comes, you can choose it yourself!"

Xu Da nodded heavily, and then continued: "The second inappropriate point is that after my subordinates led 3000 people to deceive the city gate, General Li had to follow behind. The distance between the two groups was ten miles. One after another, when the time comes, General Li waits for me to send a signal, and then raids Hezhou City, I wonder what General Li thinks?"

Li Sanqi patted Xu Da's shoulder with a smile and said, "Just do as you say!"
