Chapter 24 Small Tricks to Dispatch

Just when Yuan Shao was disappointed, Tai Shici behind Gongsun Zan suddenly stepped forward and bowed his hand to Yuan Shao and whispered, "Master Yuan Meng, the ancients said: The top two meet and the brave win! No matter how dangerous the siege tomorrow is, it must be launched on time, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble and crisis to other allies!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao looked at Tai Shici sideways and motioned Tai Shici to continue to express his views with gentle eyes. At this time, Gongsun Zong also turned his head and looked at Tai Shici. The eyes of the civil servants and generals on the table also turned to Tai Shici.

In the face of sudden collective attention, Tai Shici smiled lightly, and then said frankly, "It is true that Lord Yuan Meng, Gongsun Muhou and the alliance army are not suitable for the siege. But this fact cannot be a reason to abandon the siege of the city, otherwise it will be laughed at by the enemy... The wish of the humble position: the Yizhou Army, the Youzhou Army, and the Rongdi United Tribe will immediately hold a rath-grabbing ceremony, and decide which side will take the lead in the battle tomorrow!"

After saying that, Tai Shici bowed back and stood side by side with Zhao Yun again. Zhao Yun, with a solemn expression, nodded to Taishi Ci with a smile and praised Tai Shici's practical ideas. At least it looks fair.

For Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, Tai Shici's words were like seeing the sun, which made their entangled thoughts suddenly open. They looked at each other and nod at the same time.

Tai Shici's brief remarks indicate that tomorrow's siege must be started, and the siege army can solve it by catching a place. In this way, neither side has anything to say.

Next, Yuan Shao wrote on three pieces of silk paper: A, B and C. Then he put three pieces of silk paper in the tray, and the waiter brought the tray into the back hall. When the waiter came out again with the tray, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan unanimously asked for a lot first.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's generous and righteous actions suddenly dissipated quite a lot. He first prayed to the tribe's totem, and then respectfully reached out and picked up a piece of silk paper.

Under Yuan Shao's polite push, the waiter sent the tray to Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was not polite to Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance. He stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of silk paper.

At this time, he has seen the high content in the silk paper, and his expression has changed from nervousness and solemnity to relaxation and gratitude. Obviously, he has caught a good order to attack the city, which is definitely not the first.

At this time, the first place is under pressure, which is not easy to be.

Gongsun Zan opened the silk paper he grabbed, and a fly-sized word "A" hit his vision like Mount Tai. He was in a trance in his consciousness, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Seeing Gongsun Zan eating so high, the smile on his face was even stronger. Gongsun Zan gave a high look, and then got up and said to Yuan Shao, "Master Yuan, because the task of attacking the city tomorrow fell on the shoulders of the Youzhou army, I was going to go back and prepare carefully! Lord Yuan Meng, I will leave!"

Gongsun Zant's behavior told everyone that he was the first to besieged the city tomorrow. Yuan Shao did not dissuade him. He smiled sympathetically and nodded to agree to Gongsun Zan's request.

And Yuan Shao himself did not reach out to grab the silk paper, because he had seen "C" written on the silk paper in the master. Man Gao is C, Gong Sun Zan is A, and he himself is B, so he doesn't have to grab silk paper.

After Gongsun Zan led his confidant to leave, Yuan Shao's face suddenly relaxed. He smiled meaningfully at Man Gao, and then got up and left under the high respect...

Back to his coach's tent, Gongsun Zong's embarrassed face still did not ease. Changshi Guanjing and other generals such as Tian Kai, Yan Gang, Shan Jing and others all looked at Tai Shici with a resentful face. They thought to themselves: If it hadn't been for Tai Shi Ci's bad idea, the Youzhou army would not have fallen into such a passive situation. At that time, as long as Muhou fought, he would definitely push Rongdi's army to the forefront of the storm, gloriously become the first echelon to attack the city, and become cannon fodder... But now, the Youzhou army has become the leader and can't get rid of the fate of cannon fodder.

Only Zhao Yunli supported Tai Shici among the people present. Zhao Yun has been looking at Tai Shici softly and cheering Tai Shici. At this time, Tai Shici knelt at the top of the table. According to reason, Tai Shici is not qualified to do this position. After all, a person will be an official position without taste. For example, Tian Kaiyan Gang is a five-grade official position.

But with his outstanding martial arts skills and his identity as an ally, Tai Shici knelt down in this prominent position.

Everyone was depressed, and only Tai Shici kept smiling and laughing heartlessly. Gongsun Zhan asked Taishi Ci with a wry smile, "General Taishi, what do you think about tomorrow's siege?"

When Tai Shici heard the words, he responded modestly, "Jihou, you are laughing! In fact, as the first echelon to attack the city, there are many benefits... Even more benefits than the troops who attacked the city in the end!"

Gongsun Zan was stunned when he heard the words. The others looked at Tai Shici with a suspicious face. They have seen people who talk big and lie, but they have never heard such nonsense as Tai Shici. As the first echelon of the siege, there are other benefits. Are the benefits greater than the last echelon?

Tai Shici winked at Gongsun Zan and said slowly, "Jihou, it is true that our soldiers are not good at attacking the city, but the enemy Xiliang soldiers are not good at defending the city..."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he seemed to listen to the thunder silently, and was immediately suppressed. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly opened his head. He couldn't help saying "ah". His decadent look suddenly became glorious.

Tai Shici realized that Gongsun Zan's thinking had coincided with his own thinking, so he said frankly, "Jihou, as we all know, Xiliang iron riders are invincible in the world, but they are all fighting in an empty place... According to the defense of the city, the fierce Xiliang soldiers must also feel depressed. For the city defense equipment, they are willing to You must not be proficient in the operation. In this way, if we launch a siege war, Xiliang soldiers may not be able to cause much damage to us..."

When Tai Shici said this, he deliberately paused and took a cup of water while observing the reaction of other civilian generals with his eyes. At this time, Gongsun Zan himself was already immersed in Tai Shici's vision, and others were also attracted by Tai Shici's main battle idea, and they stretched out their necks to watch Tai Shici one by one.

Tai Shici put down the teacup and continued to say to Gongsun Zan, "Jihou, as the first echelon to attack the city, you can take advantage of the weaknesses of the Xiliang soldiers defending the city to do something. This is one of the ideas of the humble main battle. Second, although Chang'an's city defense is very tight, it can be said to be watertight: sufficient personnel, abundant city defense materials, and domineering and powerful stone throwers and new weapon crossbows, whose defense range can cover 800 meters outside the city wall. However, there are also great loopholes in this. Thistle, my colleagues, we can think about it: a stone weighing 20 catties, an ordinary carved arrow, is there any strength in the farthest distance of its lethal power?

Experience tells us that for ordinary soldiers, the maximum lethality of the stone thrower and the bed crossbow is a distance of 300 to 400 meters. If we take advantage of the enemy defending the city to adjust the attack distance of the stone thrower and the bed crossbow, and replace the gap between stones and arrows. It can be quickly pushed 100 meters to the edge of the city wall..."

Tai Shici's understatement immediately diluted the sense of danger in the hearts of all the soldiers. The dark clouds dissipated, and their hearts began to shine brightly: according to Tai Shici, the towering and strong Chang'an City is not so cold and unreachable. You can still kiss Fangze.

Under the reminder of Tai Shici, Gongsun Zan suddenly opened his mind. He said to the crowd thoughtfully, "Gentlemen, General Taishi's remarks really made me open up... In fact, according to the pre-military battle plan of the alliance, the siege on the first day only needs to damage the traps and organs outside the city wall. Paralyze it. Then, lay wooden boards on the trenches, destroy the horse-throwing array, and flatten the sharp wooden pile array at the root of the city wall... In view of the weaknesses of the enemy and the city garrison equipment, as long as we operate properly, we can complete the goal of the first round of attack with the minimum cost of casualties... Haha, the Xiliang soldiers who defend the city can skillfully operate the stone-throwing machine and bed crossbow. At that time, it's really enough for Yuan Shao to drink a pot..."

Gongsun Zun burst into laughter at the end. His happy mood suddenly became infected, and these people laughed easily.

Then, Gongsun Zan happily began to arrange troops around the specific situation around the periphery of Chang'an City and his own arms.

There are stone throwers and crossbows in the distance of Chang'an City, and archers in the vicinity. These two attack methods are the biggest threats. In response to this situation, the attacker needs to be equipped with knives and shields and restrained. The reality of the Youzhou Army is that there are not enough shields, and there is a shortage of 10,000 shields.

In the afternoon, Gongsun Zan went to Yuan Shao's tent and negotiated with Yuan Shao. Of course, Yuan Shao is duty-bound to support. In Yuan Shao's words, Gongsun Zan's soldiers were quickly equipped with the knives and shields they needed.

At night, with the consent of Gongsun Zan, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun led a hundred scouts and went deep into the front position. Taking advantage of the cover of the night, they carefully explored the traps and organ positions outside the city wall. Like a hundred scouts, they are dressed in black light armor. The difference is that they hold magic weapons in their hands: tiger-headed Zhanjin gun and Jiutian Jinghong.

Late night, the wind in late autumn is cold, and the moon is covered by thick clouds. Hundreds of scouts dispersed and quickly passed through the boards on the moat. In the front position, they crawled forward one by one.

In this way, on the brightly lit city wall more than 1,000 meters away, the Xiliang soldiers on duty could not find it at all. Tai Shici and Zhao Yun used their peerless body method to "shrink into an inch". Their bodies shook, and the virtual shadows were still remaining in the trenches closest to the moat. Their real bodies had appeared 200 meters in front of the root of the city wall.

At this distance, one step forward, there is a magical power to imprison Tai Shici and Zhao Yun. The two of them endured the uncomfortable feeling of the instant decline of cultivation and crawled into the sharp pile in front of the root of the city wall. The one-meter-high pointed stake happened to be the best cover for the two of them.

Entering the area of suppressing and restraining the innate realm of the generals, the two not only clearly feel the sudden decline in strength: the breathing is turbid, the movement is slow, and the circulation of qi and blood around the body is extremely smooth. In this region, it is like in a strong Category 12 typhoon, just like in deep water.

The strength has dropped directly from the innate realm to the intermediate cultivation. Originally, the two could have jumped up the wall more than ten meters high, but now they can only sigh.

The two climbed to the middle of the sharp pile array and looked at each other at a distance of more than ten meters. Then they swaving the treasure gun in their hands and cut off the sharp piles one by one. After a while, the two had destroyed the sharp pile array of 100 meters by 20 meters in the state of intermediate cultivation.
