The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Tao's celestial clairvoyance is really powerful. He is within the surveillance range of ten miles. If the other party wants to surprise or ambush suddenly, he can give an early warning. He can even observe the surrounding camps in advance to find the one with a heavy army in ambush. Who will ambush at that time? neither knows!

Even if there are reinforcements, they can be discovered in advance and then adjusted. It is easy to fight like this, and I am afraid that it will really become addictive.There was no such word back then, so Jian Yong used 'dependence' to describe it.

"But if I've 'seen' it, why don't I say it?" Liu Tao replied helplessly. Seeing the enemy's sudden attack, should he pretend that he didn't know anything, so as to exercise the coping ability of the people below?

"..." This sentence made sense, and Lu Yan and Jian Yong had nothing to say for a while.

War is not a game, and you can warn in advance to avoid losses, why not say it?

"Okay, I'll put a sky eye here. Tonight, everyone will set up camp and rest for a night... The craftsmen will observe and observe Anxi County to see which siege weapon is better... Well, let's do this first? Military division , do you have anything to add?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Tao simply made some arrangements, and finally looked at Lu Yan.

"That's about it, just pay attention to be on guard at night." Lu Yan also mentioned it a little bit.

Everyone turned around and wanted to do their own thing, but Liu Tao stood there, thinking.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Guan Yu seemed to have noticed this, so he stepped forward to ask.Lu Yan and Zhang Fei also came over one after another.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking... Since the main force is here, why don't we just pull out all the surrounding camps?" Liu Tao replied, and added in his mind: by the way, get back some magic points.

"Although it doesn't matter if you don't deal with it everywhere, if brother has this plan, then it doesn't matter... After all, it will always be removed." Hearing this, Lu Yan seemed to realize something, so she agreed.

Chapter 83

This is the fact, they went south along Yishui from the northwest, and all the camps along the way had been captured.At the same time, they defeated the opponent's main force again, and the remaining troops in Anxi County were probably concentrated in the city.

Although there should be such a stockade in the east and north, there should not be many thieves inside.There are less than a dozen or twenty, and there are no more than a hundred people.

However, if there are many camps and strongholds, then a thousand people can be gathered.If there is a sudden attack at a critical moment, although it is nothing, it will be troublesome...

After thinking about it, I added a little sentence: "How about sending scouts to investigate first, and then dispatching if necessary?"

This is obviously the safest way, of course Liu Tao agreed.

At night, the city walls of Anxi County were still brightly lit. In order to avoid being attacked at night, Gao Sheng planted torches on the city walls.

"Is it necessary to do this on the first night?" Liu Tao said jokingly.

As the detectives came back one after another, they realized that the surrounding camps were empty. After asking the villagers, they found out that these thieves had not returned since they went out yesterday.Not to mention those small camps, the large strongholds are already empty.

In other words, those who went to surround Zhang Fei yesterday were their main force.Of the 700 elite soldiers, I only brought 1000 people out at that time, and the encircled cavalry was only 22. In the end, only [-] people were killed.

Of course, not many thieves were wiped out, counting around three or four hundred, and the others all dispersed.Thinking about it now, they should all hide in the county seat.

What he was really upset about was that all these guys were gone, so they couldn't gain experience at all.Forget it, he is extremely lacking in mana now, and originally planned to rely on the 'Su Sheng Dafa' to recover by attacking these camps.

"It's really a bit of a fuss." Lu Yan looked at the city wall, feeling emotional, "We just came here, so we will definitely not attack tonight. After all, we don't even have siege equipment..."

There is also a saying that when going on an expedition, some equipment will be disassembled and assembled when they arrive at the enemy's city.Using this method, basically the day you come here, you can start attacking the city.

Even if some parts are missing, it is actually very simple for an excellent carpenter to make them.The measuring tools used by everyone may be different. If the measuring tools are not unified, there is no way to carry out assembly line work. However, craftsmen will not waste much time in making one or two parts.

Sometimes, just by looking at it, you can roughly know the size. A qualified carpenter can make something in half an hour when the raw materials and tools are available.Replacing parts or something, unless you don't have an army carpenter, it's really easy to replace.

At the beginning of the march, Zang Min also talked about this problem with Liu Tao. We can make siege weapons in advance, so that they can be assembled and used immediately after transporting them, and the enemy will be caught off guard; but transporting them in this way will take up space. One or two well fence trucks or ladder trucks are useless.

The prefect was good enough, he taught Liu Tao a lot of knowledge about siege before he set off, and he had no place to learn it.In particular, there are many experiences summed up by Zang Min, which are even more precious.

Combining his suggestion and the reality of this march, Liu Tao did not choose to build siege weapons in advance.

"What do the craftsmen say?" Liu Tao asked.

"The city wall is 3.5 feet (about [-] meters) high by visual inspection. Ordinary long ladders are enough. There is no need for ladder trucks. However, it is recommended to attack the city gates. Generally speaking, it is enough to use city rush cars. If you are not at ease , it can be used with the Jinglan cart, but if you want to repair the Jinglan cart, it will take a day to build it." Lu Yan replied.

"How long will it take if it's just a city bus and a long ladder?" Liu Tao asked.

"The materials are complete, and they will be ready tonight!" Lu Yan replied directly. Although they came here this time, although they did not build a batch of siege equipment in advance, the wood was prepared.Craftsmen build according to the actual situation, and the siege of the city is naturally more effective.

"Then prepare well tonight and start the battle tomorrow morning! By the way, we must prepare well tonight to prevent the enemy from going out of the city to attack at night!" Liu Tao nodded, and then gave orders.

"Prevention is necessary, but there is no need to be so nervous..." Lu Yan pointed to the city wall, "The ones who are really nervous now are actually them. As expected, the three city gates are probably sealed. gone."

"By the way, do you think there will be a water gate on the south side of Yishui?" Liu Tao suddenly thought of a situation, that is, whether it is possible to enter the city through the water gate.

Generally, when one side is near water, there will be a water gate, together with the city and the river outside.In fact, as long as there are cities near water, there will be water gates.The purpose of diverting water into the city is different: water supply, transportation, sewage and flood discharge, or both.Anxi County faces Yishui, so there is no reason not to set up water gates.

"We don't have good water here..." Lu Yan replied.For a group of Yanzhao men, it's not a big problem to let them ride horses and shoot arrows, but it's... really bad for them to swim!

"When does dinner start?" Liu Tao simply changed the subject, but he also forgot about it.

"This can be done later, and I will add more food tonight so that the soldiers can eat better." Lu Yan reported by the way.There will be a war tomorrow, so I won't be so full for breakfast.In other words, tonight may be the last meal for some soldiers.

"It should be the same." Liu Tao still has magic points. He thinks that at least most of the soldiers can get a 'vitality regeneration', but it can't guarantee that everyone can survive.

He will not let the soldiers 'test' to attack, don't be so desperate, he still understands the reason why kindness does not control soldiers.If necessary, sacrifice two or three hundred people, as long as the city can be captured, it will be considered a profit.

As for the rest, it depends on whether we can recruit some supplements among the captives.In other words, this is the only way to go, otherwise, even if they recruit troops locally, they will not be able to form combat power quickly.

"Speaking of..." On the way back to the camp, Liu Tao remembered a magic, that is the "Temptation of the Dark Dragon" in the "Dark Element Magic", which can increase the success rate of diplomacy by 20% at the master level.

With this, in the future when recruiting a civil servant, it should be very easy for the other party to swear allegiance... No, no, I can't be tempted here, the next thing I have to do is click on 'Magic Affinity'!

It was a peaceful night, just as Lu Yan said, Gao Sheng was the one who was nervous, not them.Everyone who came from afar, it is rare to have a peaceful sleep tonight.After gradually getting used to military life, everyone was able to sleep peacefully before the battle.

"Liu Sima..." The next morning, at breakfast time, the head craftsman came over, "The equipment has been built!"

"It's hard work everyone, let's see how we use these equipment today, and we will recover Anxi County!" Liu Tao laughed.

Chapter 84

The war drums were rumbling, and the soldiers gathered in front of the formation. At the front were three long ladders, a siege vehicle, and at the rear, there were two siege machines.

With 2000 people, it is obviously unrealistic to surround a county and attack it. Instead, it is better to attack one side exclusively.

"Speaking of it, I seem to think of a sentence in "Sun Tzu." Seeing this scene, a sentence emerged in Liu Tao's mind, "Therefore, the law of using troops is to encircle them with ten, to attack with five, to double Then divide it into..."

Yes, that's it, the stock in his head is like this.

"The enemy army has more people than us, right?" Lu Yan complained. After calculating, the opponent estimated that there were about 3000 people, and the own army only had 2000 soldiers. It is impossible to let the supply troops pass.

"Besides, it feels like a field battle." Jian Yong also added a little bit.

"Is that so?" Liu Tao also felt that he was really ignorant.I just thought there was a word 'encircle' in this sentence, and thought it was a siege.Take a closer look, among other things, how to deal with the one-to-one situation seems to have not been written...he didn't remember if there was any.

Or is it that Sun Tzu's Art of War emphasizes dignified tactics, similar to the technique of winning more with less, which even Sun Tzu himself doesn't quite approve of?If you think about it carefully, the art of war, tactics and strategy are not the same thing in themselves.

Plus the opening sentence: Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated.

I feel that the so-called art of war is to be steady if you can be steady, be prudent if you can be prudent, use your strengths to attack the opponent, and use all the power you can use to gain an advantage... Hmm, maybe I am really a master of art of war who has been delayed!
