Chapter 141: Under calm

In the first game, Xihe City finally defended Xihe City with very little cost, and the Northern Plains suffered heavy damage. According to post-war statistics and battlefield cleanup, Lin Tu discovered that the people sent by the Northern Plains were actually more than 10,000, but should be around 15,000. After all, there were more than 10,000 casualties, and they ran back to about 3,000. Too.
That afternoon did calm down, but the people of Xihecheng did not take it lightly. After all, the Kitahara people still have the power to fight. If all the forces are concentrated to attack the weakest link, Xihe City is still very dangerous.
Therefore, Yang Yichuan and Li Ru held an emergency hot pot meeting again. Discuss what to do next. After all, you can't always be passive. Wait until your opponent makes a move, and then think about the countermeasures. I'm afraid it will be too late. The best way is to think about the possibilities before your opponent moves, and then think of the countermeasures one by one.
"So, the most likely action plan for the Kitahara people now is, first, to find the weak link and break through Xihe City. Second, to ask for support and send more people to capture Xihe City. These two methods are currently The most effective way. Master Li, General Lin, do you still want to add something?"
After listening to the two possibilities proposed by Yang Yichuan, Lin Tu also guessed that this might not have been thought by Yang Yichuan, but by Xiao Muxue. Now, it doesn’t matter who thinks, the important thing is that these are indeed the two best methods at present, and how to deal with them is true.
"Besides that, we have to beware of some despicable methods of the Kitahara people. The Kitahara people used to use them too. They threw a poisonous grass into the water and caused many deaths."
"Most of our people in Xihe City still use well water, which is relatively safe. Even with this method, they probably don't have so much poisonous grass now?" Li Ru said quickly.
"This is indeed the case, but be careful, and explain to the people to use well water."
Lin Tu continued, "As for finding weak points and conducting siege, the number of our Xihe Army is indeed limited. If the Kitahara people continue to look for flaws, we are exhausted and really dangerous. Three gates, each gate has only Thousands of people are defending, not enough."
"I think some young and strong people should be transferred to help defend the city gates. At least it can prevent the Kitahara people from approaching and delaying time."
After hearing Lin Tu’s words, Li Ru began to think,
It seems that there is really no good way to deal with this situation. I will try my best to mobilize the people. However, I must first say what tasks are assigned to them.

Just when Li Ru was mentally prepared, Yang Yichuan suddenly said, "Master Li, you don't have to call the people."
Li Ru was stunned and asked, "His Royal Highness, why not use it?"
"Ordinary people can't play a big role if they go up. They haven't been trained. When facing the enemy, they probably won't be of any use at all. I see, I will call on the guards of those families. They have some training anyway. . As long as you follow orders, the usefulness is definitely greater."
"If these guards are allowed to defend, it must be better than the people. But, can they agree?"
"If you can, you will know what you love, and move it to your advantage, they will definitely agree."
auzw.com Li Ru still agrees with Yang Yichuan's "Move to benefit". For these families, I am afraid that only interests can drive them.
"If your Highness comes forward, you will definitely succeed."
Yang Yichuan established the Xihe Chamber of Commerce and led the large family of Xihecheng in the whole city. Li Ru is all in the eyes. If anyone can drive them, I am afraid that there is only interest, and Yang Yichuan, who holds the interest.
"General Lin, if the Beiyuan people send more people, what should we do? This is the most difficult problem. General Lin, what do you think, Master Li?"
Li Ru also immediately returned, "His Royal Highness, General He from Dingsha City sent a letter. General He said that a 5,000-member Dingsha army could be sent to help clear the Beiyuan people. It takes about 5 days to get from Shacheng to Xihe City, which is faster. It will take ten days to come back and forth. General He will give us up to 13 days, I am afraid it is not easy to calculate the exact time, but also Send the letter in advance."
Lin Tu also continued, "After this first battle, I am afraid that Mo Li has already figured out most of our strength. If we look at our performance today, there will be at least another 30,000 people. By then, they can choose to attack hard. The city can also be involved while attacking the city from other directions. This is not good news for us."
Yang Yichuan asked, "If the remaining Beiyuan people are eliminated in advance, so that all of Mori's people can't fight, then it will be better when the reinforcements of the Beiyuan people arrive."
"If you can eliminate this wave of people in advance, that's a good choice. But once you go out to fight, the Kitahara's cavalry is very strong. Even if we eliminate them, we have to pay a huge price."
Yang Yichuan, Lin Tu and Li Ru are all meditating. The current situation is still not optimistic because of the fact that the enemy may also have reinforcements. However, they also have an advantage, that is, scouts, scouts scattered around Xihe City can provide information one step ahead.
"General Lin, you see, we let General He send his cavalry to our Xihe City quickly and prepare for the place outside Xihe City. When the time comes, we will attack inside and outside and destroy this part of Morley's troops first. After that, we have more than 10,000 troops, and then cooperate with the artillery, relying on the advantage of detecting the enemy's movements in advance. In the right place, do an ambush, maybe you can fight outside the city. General Lin, do you think ?"
Lin Tu also thought of Yang Yichuan's suggestion, "It is indeed a solution, but it is very risky. After the first battle, the other party probably already knows our strength, and the number of reinforcements sent will not be small. There will be at least 30,000 people. It’s just my estimate, there may be more. I’m not optimistic about fighting in the wild.

"Then use guerrilla tactics, we will turn it into zero and keep harassing. Relying on the advantage of a small number of people and more flexible actions, we may achieve amazing results. Moreover, Xihe State is our place, and our understanding is definitely more There are many, and setting up ambush in many places will certainly be able to gain an advantage."
"What’s more, General Lin, according to your statement, can we really defend if we die according to the city? Being trapped in the city not only makes it easier for us to defend, but it also makes us lose the opportunity to take the initiative and obtain the The possibility of victory. Therefore, if you go out, you will have more opportunities."
"Furthermore, we still have secret weapons. Although we haven't had time to develop and produce them, we can still use them as long as we want to use them."
Lin Tu asked happily, "What secret weapon?"
Yang Yichuan also spoke two words lightly, "Gunpowder."
