Chapter 581
The first reaction of anyone encountering this situation is to step back and keep a safe distance to rest the army.But Liu Chong felt that things were not so simple. According to his understanding of all the wars Zongxin participated in, Zongxin always controlled countless pits every time, and then waited for others to jump into the pits by themselves.Everyone thinks that retreating is a good way, maybe this is exactly what Zong Xin wants, but it may not be true.

Liu Chongdao: "Chi Mu, you bring Xiao Gude here, I have something important to discuss with him."

"As ordered."

Chi Mu turned around and left, and soon found Xiao Gude, who was five-year-old and three-year-old, to the camp.Xiao Gude was also frightened by the sound of the drum just now, and felt depressed after knowing that it was a false move, so he drank in the room to relieve his anger.In the army, one should not drink alcohol, but the Khitan people are an exception. The Khitan people can't live without alcohol. If their bold character can't be used, they will fight with the soldiers of the Central Plains to show their strength, so Liu Chong allows them to drink.

"Han, Emperor Liu. What's the matter with finding an official?" The Khitan people's Chinese is not good, but there is no problem in daily chatting, but they are not too meticulous in etiquette. Naturally, Liu Chong will not blame such trivial matters.

Liu Chongdao: "Now is the second drumbeat, you should have heard it all."

Xiao Gude nodded, can you not hear such a loud voice?If it weren't for this voice, I wouldn't be drinking so much early in the morning.Since Liu Chong came looking for him, there should be a way to deal with this voice.

Liu Chongdao: "I suddenly thought of a good strategy just now. I believe that the drumbeat over there will not stop, and it will come again in a while. But Zong Xin used all false moves, and his purpose is obviously to make us retreat. He thought that if we continue to harass, we will definitely retreat, and it is also to give Weizhou City a chance to breathe."

Xiao Gude said: "Yes~ If you do this, you will have to retreat. There is such a thick fog, and there are drums in the fog, and you can't even sleep well. If they really come over, they will definitely be successful. So We can’t not react, but each reaction takes a lot of time, and it’s just not going to work.”

Liu Chongdao: "Zong Xin's move is so ruthless that it doesn't make people sleep or relax. The soldiers on our side are already exhausted before the fight starts. They will be very powerful when they officially attack the city." reduce."

Xiao Gude nodded repeatedly. This Liu Chong still had some abilities. Although this plan seemed very inconspicuous, it actually contained murderous intent.If you really follow what he said, then there is only one way to retreat.

"Otherwise, let's retreat ten miles first, and the distance between ten miles is not too far or close, so that their drums will be much quieter, and we can sleep in safety. As soon as Murong Yanchao's battle report arrives, we will immediately attack the city." Xiao Gu said: "It doesn't matter how capable that Zong Xin is, he won't be able to turn beans into an army. The siege battle has a huge disparity in strength, and we will undoubtedly win."

Liu Chong waved his hand and said, "That's not right. The reason why Zong Xin came up with this plan is because he wanted us to retreat. Whether it's ten miles or twenty miles, Zongxin is in his arms. Can you guarantee that Zongxin won't make another plan? So I think we It should be anti-customer first, attack first. There is a huge loophole in Zong Xin's plan. The thick fog can hide their figures, and it can also hide our figures. The drumbeat can hide their whereabouts, and it can also hide our whereabouts. .”

Xiao Gude took a deep breath and said, "What does this mean?"

"It's very simple. After the fog cleared, we pretended to retreat. But we only let the backup supply troops escort the food to retreat. When the fog returned in the early morning of tomorrow, we marched slowly with the sound of the drums, and the drums called us to move forward. We will stop when the drumbeat stops. We will soon reach the Weizhou city, and they will be caught off guard. I believe Zong Xin naively thought that we had already retreated dozens of miles away, and it was impossible to appear under the city."

Liu Chong has studied the battles that Zong Xin has fought so far, and he has drawn the enemy into the trap he set step by step.This time I did the opposite, not taking the usual path.Everyone thought that retreating was the best choice, but they refused to retreat, killing Zongxin by surprise.Anyway, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. If they can quietly come under the tower during the siege, Zong Xin will definitely be surprised.

"Good plan, good plan." Xiao Gude admired: "Emperor Liu is really powerful, no wonder you can survive in this troubled world for a long time, you really have the ability. Zong Xin originally planned to make us retreat, Empress Liu Going in the opposite direction with this move will definitely catch him off guard."

"I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed...hahahaha."

Liu Chong was very excited here, but the late Taoist beside him showed a look of worry.Liu Chong can also see this, but Chi Mu is not very useful now, because of the heavy fog, he can't observe the mountains and predict his luck, and it is true that Zong Xin's skills are superior, regardless of the real cause of the fog, However, it is normal to have fog in winter. During this time, the ability of the late Taoist will be greatly reduced.

Liu Chong is very clear that Chi Mu's ability is not enough to go home.If he was as powerful as the belated Taoist, he wouldn't follow him.Chi Mu's ability is slightly stronger than ordinary people, and he is proficient in wind and water, and fortune and other strange arts, but these strange arts are more conceptual and have no real practical use.

Zong Xin and Chi Lai can even accurately say what will happen in the future.At most, Chi Mu knows whether this person will be lucky or unlucky today, and it is not 100% accurate.But this is already very difficult for Liu Chong.

The reason why Chi Mu is not good at learning is all due to Chi Lai, so Chi Mu's lifelong pursuit is to seek revenge from Chi Lai.It's just a pity that the belated Taoist is a god who can't see the beginning and the end, like this kind of person who can pinch and count, and who knows exactly what will happen in the future, he will never be caught by others, so Chi Mu has worked hard for so many years, Even the belated shadow did not catch up.

"Chi Mu, is there any problem?" Liu Chong said, "Could it be that there is a flaw in this widow's plan?"

"Hey, my lord, on the surface, this plan is foolproof. But the official always feels that Zong Xin is not so simple. He deliberately beat the drum in the fog to hope that our army will retreat. Maybe he is waiting for you to take advantage of the fog. It may not be possible to launch an attack when the hidden drum is sounding." Chi Mu felt that it is best to be cautious, anyway, this battle must be won, why bother?
Liu Chongdao: "Chi Mu, in your opinion, should we retreat or attack?"

"As the following officer sees, it is best to retreat. Zong Xin deliberately summoned the fog to hide his body, perhaps to sneak through Chen Cang, what if we take advantage of the fog to attack and fall into an ambush?"

Liu Chong suddenly laughed and said, "Listen to what I said, Chi Mu, the fog was summoned by Zong Xin, and the drum was also summoned by Zong Xin. As long as there is fog and drums, we will retreat. Then when should we attack? Is it possible that we have been spending time with Zong Xin like this, and when he has assembled enough parts, he really ran from the fog to attack the camp. Otherwise, we can only wait and see in the camp and never dare to attack. "

"Hey..." Chi Mu thought for a while, and then said: "That's right~ If this fog is really summoned by Zong Xin, then Zong Xin can always be hidden in the thick fog. The fog made the soldiers dare not attack."

Xiao Gudao said: "As far as I know, Zong Xin is a man of opportunities. Whenever he has an opportunity, he can use it with all his strength. The fog in the early winter was thick, and when Zong Xin saw the fog, he immediately thought of using drums to influence our side. Military spirit and combat power. Emperor Liu's plan is flawless. This is what you people from the Central Plains call a plan. Zong Xin hopes to repel our army with the sound of drums, so as to relieve the pressure on Weizhou. He hopes to get more time to move in to rescue the soldiers. We can't give him this time. We must cut through the mess and attack the city directly. I don't believe that Zongxin has great ability. The huge Weizhou City has only more than 1 people. Are we afraid that our [-] army will not be able to attack? Unless Zong Xin has really learned the skill of turning beans into soldiers, otherwise how could he conjure up a team that can compete with our army?"

Liu Chong nodded and said: "That is to say, no matter how powerful Zong Xin is, he is only one person. And this time, Zong Xin still has some ways to work left and right, but a clever woman can't cook without rice. Such a small number of people will never be able to guard Weizhou We can't play with Zongxin, so we don't play with Zongxin, and the most effective way is to attack the city directly. At worst, it will increase some casualties, but it is worthwhile to win the whole Dazhou with this casualty."

Chi Mu and Xiao Gude nodded one after another, Liu Chong was right, even very reasonable.As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle.Liu Chong has done this very well. He knows Zong Xin is powerful, and he also admits that Zong Xin is powerful. He knows that if he is playing the art of war, he is not Zong Xin's opponent, so he does not play tricks with Zong Xin, and directly attacks the city. Forget about playing tricks.

There is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, even if Zong Xin has great abilities, it is impossible to save this defeat.Liu Chong's judgment was very accurate, Zong Xin was invincible, so the person he wanted to defeat was not Zong Xin, but the soldiers in Weizhou city.

Because this strategy is very subtle, if the soldiers on the other side can attack directly from the bottom of the city when attacking the city, it will reduce a lot of casualties.As long as one's own soldiers reach under the city wall, the next step is not to play tricks and tricks, but to see the truth under their hands.The strength of the two sides is the only dialogue. As long as Liu Chong rushes to the city wall, he can declare the victory of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Xiao Gude said: "My Khitan soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but they are not good at attacking the city. This time we will cause a lot of trouble for Emperor Liu. As long as the city gate is opened, the Khitan soldiers will kill all the chickens and dogs after entering the city."

Both Liu Chong and Chi Mu turned their heads to look at Xiao Gude with contempt. It is understandable that he wants to maintain his own strength, but such a bad general is rare.He didn't intend to let his soldiers participate in the siege battle, but wanted the city gate to be opened before entering the city.If that time really came, why would there be any need for Khitan soldiers?A random army can slaughter the entire Weizhou city.

"This is a little bit obscene. Send [-] soldiers to the front line. If you don't want to contribute, why should I contact the Khitan? Why not attack Weizhou by yourself, so as not to cede the land to the Khitan." Liu Chong said: "If you want to get something, you have to give. I don't even want this old face to borrow troops from Khitan. If you don't plan to attack the city, go back directly. I don't think Khitan's help will be needed for this battle."

"Emperor Liu is serious. I just said that the Khitan soldiers are not good at siege warfare, but if Emperor Liu needs it, the Khitan soldiers will of course take the lead for you. Emperor Liu can rest assured that none of the Khitan soldiers is greedy for life and afraid of death. generation."

"It's almost there."
