Chapter 538 Acting is really tiring [Please subscribe*Please vote]

Dugu Ming, Dugu Longcheng and other Dugu clan generals who returned to Dugu Mansion looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

I laughed so hard that tears came out.

They really didn't expect King Xiutu to be so arrogant, and so smart to help them arrange the strategy required by Bingzhou.

"Send a message to the Lord!" Dugu Ming did not forget his identity and responsibilities.

He is the father-in-law of Bingzhou.

Isn't it normal to pass information to your son-in-law?
As for selling King Xiu Tu?

Who is King Xiu Tu? Are they close?
Can any relationship be as close as that of your own son-in-law?
He knows very clearly what is important and what is not, what is near and what is far.

"It's not enough, it's not enough, let Bingzhou retreat, and let King Xiutu's own army block his retreat!"

Dugu Ming was the strategist who helped King Xiutu and Touman compete for the position of Great Khan of the Xiongnu. Although they lost, the fact that King Xiutu and Dugu are still alive and well proves his ability.

Among the three major clans and tribes in the Xiutu royal court, the Jin clan became the Chanyu because of their bloodline; the Yan clan was the largest tribe in the grassland after the royal court, and the clan of the queens of the royal court for generations; and his Dugu clan was the think tank of the entire Xiutu royal court.

Without Dugu, the Xiutu royal court must be disbanded!

Therefore, Dugu Ming will not follow Dugu Longcheng to retreat to Jinchang.

He also had to give advice to King Xiutu, asking King Xiutu to urge Yanshi and King Hunxie to continue sending troops to support, block the Hexi Corridor, and cut off King Xiutu's retreat.

Imagine that tens of thousands of troops were crowded in the narrow Hexi Corridor. How could they retreat?

It is not so easy for a large army to turn around.

So Dugu Ming asked Dugu Fengnian to go out of the city again to meet Yan Yan and explain in detail what happened in Wuwei City and his plans.

“……”After listening to Dugu Fengnian’s report.

Yan Yan, Dian Qing, Yang Duanhe and other Bingzhou army chiefs were all shocked.

King Xiutu is the only one in the world who dares to say that Bingzhou is a thief who stole the fruits of victory.

"That does make sense!" Yan Yan said, touching his chin.

It doesn't seem too outrageous that King Xiutu would think this way.

The defeat of Touman’s main force in the royal court had little to do with Bingzhou. It was mainly due to Li Mu and Zhao Guoyong.

They had indeed never fought against the main force of Donghu.

As for the Dayuezhi, it was Jing Ke who killed the King of Dayuezhi, and it was also the Qin's Northern Army led by Li Xin who repelled the Dayuezhi, which had little to do with Bingzhou.

It’s no wonder that King Xiutu would think this way.

Especially since Dugu Ming and the think tanks of the Xiutu royal court were all on his side, it seemed possible that he could fool King Xiutu and Yanshi.

"The head of the family hopes that the king can pretend to retreat and lure the armies of King Hunxie and Yanshi of Zhangye and Jiuquan out of the city to block the main road of the Hexi Corridor." Dugu Fengnian continued.

Yan Yan nodded.

Before this, what had been bothering them was how to block King Xiutu's retreat.

Who could have imagined that there would be light at the end of the tunnel? It's the enemy's own fault.

"Then I'll have to trouble you all to continue cooperating with King Xiutu to put on another show!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"This is really a bit embarrassing!" The captains of the Imperial Guards all answered with a smile.

They thought they would let the world see their bravery, but they didn't expect that before they could show their strength, they had to learn how to act first.

“But we can’t keep retreating. We still have to put pressure on King Xiutu so that he can transfer troops from the rear.” Yan Yan continued.

"Well, acting is also a technical job." The army and the shogunate all laughed and started the sand table simulation.

Even if it is pretending to retreat, it still requires deduction, and a mixture of half truth and half falsehood.

We can't let King Xiutu win too easily, otherwise he won't transfer the army from the rear to the front. We need to put some pressure on him, so that he feels that he can win with just a few more people.

Only in this way can the Hun troops behind Wuwei City be withdrawn continuously.

This is much more difficult than a head-on attack.

It's like in a martial arts competition, it's easy to defeat the opponent, but it's very difficult to be like Yan Lu, constantly letting the opponent win and making him think he is almost winning.

It is easy to become stronger when facing a stronger opponent. Even a genius can do it.

When you meet the weak, you become weak. When you encounter difficulties, you must be a monster.

"This is the first time in my entire life that I have experienced such a bizarre battle scenario!" Yang Duanhe suddenly realized that he was actually here to broaden his horizons.

He joined the army at a young age and followed Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, Biao Gong, and Meng Ao, but he always followed the order of charge or retreat.

This kind of ambiguous style of play is the first time.

King Xiutu was also a man of swift and decisive actions. He would do what he thought of, but he was also somewhat cautious. He did not lead his entire army out of the city to fight, but instead kept half of them.

The tactic of showing weakness to the enemy is not unheard of.

Therefore, King Xiutu sent 30,000 troops out of the city to fight against Bingzhou's vanguard Huben Camp.

Wushuang Gui was withdrawn to the central military tent. After all, Wushuang Gui was not a man of his own accord. If he accidentally defeated the vanguard sent by King Xiutu to test him, that would be bad news.

As a result, the vanguard camps of both sides fought fiercely for a whole day outside Wuwei City, and then had to retreat after dusk.

"Damn it, we were so close to defeating the enemy!" said General Jin angrily.

If the weather had not allowed it, he would have been able to defeat the Yulin Guard Huben Camp in another hour.

"Damn it, it's so tiring! I let the soldiers win time and time again, and I had to keep retreating to the rear, for fear that they might kill each other accidentally!" The captain of the Huben Camp returned to the central army's tent and collapsed to the ground in a completely ungraceful manner.

In order to let them off the hook, he repeatedly withdrew his murderous subordinates to the rear to cool down.

"Just think of it as training for our new recruits!" Yan Yan did not blame the Huben captain for his misconduct.

It is really harder to let go on the battlefield than to win a great victory.

You must also monitor the red temperature of your own soldiers at all times to prevent them from getting out of control.

"I won't go up tomorrow. It's too tiring. Let the infantry battalion go!" The Huben captain decisively replaced the troops. It was too uncomfortable.

The infantry captain was speechless. He was just there to watch the fun, so why was he blamed?

He was really here to watch the fun today and knew the difficulties his colleague was facing.

Who could have thought that the blame would fall from the sky.

"That's fine!" Yan Yan thought about it and agreed with Captain Huben's suggestion.

After all, you are just pretending that you can't win.

I know that the Tiger Guards can't beat you, so naturally we have to send in someone else.

Therefore, early in the morning of the next day, the Bingzhou military camp began to mobilize and rotate guards, and the infantry battalion was pulled up to replace the Huben battalion.

"You bastard!" After seeing this, King Xiu Tu's vanguard jumped up and down in anger.

He had planned to defeat the Tiger Guards in today's battle, but he never expected that the other side was so cowardly that they actually changed players.

King Xiutu smiled, he had also witnessed yesterday's battle, it was really bad weather, if it had been another hour, the Bingzhou Vanguard Camp might have been defeated.

"It's okay. You continue to fight today. I want to see how many times they can change!" King Xiutu comforted with a smile.

He wanted to use the vanguard battalion to attack all the battalions in Bingzhou in order to estimate Bingzhou's true combat power.
