"Back back—quickly back!" Hu Yanhao was frightened by the arrow, and the soldiers behind him also became agitated, and retreated at least twenty steps in unison.

I was still wondering whether this distance was safe, but seeing the new face on the city wall began to draw his bow again, the group subconsciously retreated another thirty steps!

Xu was too flustered, Hu Yanhao fell off his horse when he was retreating, and was stepped on by his own horse.The soldiers behind him hurriedly swarmed up and carried him aside to call the military doctor for treatment. The scene was very messy.

Because the scene was too messy, many people accidentally fell down when they backed up, fearing being stepped on, they scrambled and scrambled back, causing a lot of dust.

Seeing this situation, everyone on the city wall laughed loudly: "Hahahaha Hu Yanhao was trampled down by his horse!"

"You have today, old thief Huyan!"

"Those people are actually learning how to crawl like a dog hahahahaha, it's so fucking fun!"

The anger and depression of the past few days were swept away at this moment, replaced by a sense of exhilaration and exhilaration!

There were also people dancing and doing disdainful movements, shouting: "Hu Yanhao, you grandson, if you have the ability, I will crawl over to your grandpa!"

Fortunately, Hu Yanhao passed out, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit blood when he heard this group of cowards who could only hide on the city wall mocking him like this.

Among the remaining people, only his partial generals can still call the shots, and they are so angry that they will mount their horses and rush over to avenge Hu Yanhao.

Then he was stopped by others, and in the end he only dared to jump and curse on the spot.

The guards and soldiers headed by Ding Yuan were not afraid to see them like this.Everyone was laughing loudly, and this deafening laughter made the whole sky tremble, making Tu Gehu even more embarrassing.

It was not until Tu Gehu retreated that Huang Zhong lowered his bow and put it back on his back.

At this moment, the way everyone looked at Mi Ren and Huang Zhong changed.

The distance between this place and Hu Yanhao is at least a hundred paces, although the wind is not strong today, it is difficult for even the most powerful archer to hit him.Unexpectedly, if Huang Zhong didn't make a move, he would be a blockbuster!

This is a sharpshooter that is not inferior to Yang Youji in the Warring States Period!

Huang Zhong frightened the enemy away with just one arrow and one draw of the bow. Mi Yan patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and smiled: "Han Sheng, good shot!"

Huang Zhong remained unfazed: "It's the general who taught me well."

Well, after following Mi Eun for a long time, he can handle this kind of calm feeling.I have to say that there is an inexplicably dark feeling.

The eyes of everyone looking at them became more and more fiery.

Ding Yuan stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Thank you, General Mi, for making the rescue. This warrior under your command is really an eye-opener for the subordinates!"

His title changed from "Mi Guoshi" to "General Mi", which was obviously a full recognition of Mi Yan's status as the leader of the army.

Mi Yan smiled and said, "Inspector Ding praised you."

Ding Yuan smiled and said: "Tu Gehu has already retreated, Hu Yanhao's injury should not come back today. Please return to the room to rest for a while, and wait for the next official to prepare wine and food for you, so as to wash away the dust."

Mi Renyuan wanted to decline, but then thought that the soldiers in the city probably needed a banquet to relax their tense mood, so he nodded and said: "Then I would like to thank Governor Ding. But the war is tight, the food and drink can be more ordinary, so there is no need to be extravagant."

Ding Yuan responded: "Okay!"

After returning to the room, Mi Rian took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Xun Yu to report her safety.

This will be the city guard, and he, the chief general, and his advisers will of course live in the mansion of the Yangqu county guard.The county magistrate waited outside in person, carefully asking Mi Rian what he needed, and hinting vaguely about beauties, all of which were rejected by Mi Rian.

After writing the letter and sending it to the county magistrate, he rested for a while, and then Ding Yuan came over to invite him to the dinner in person.

The preparation of the dinner was indeed relatively simple, and it was only a little better than what the guards and soldiers usually eat.For the counselors who have been spoiled by the rich clothes and fine food of the Mi Mansion, not only is it a simple meal, but it tastes really bad.

But how can they pursue this when they are out on an expedition, Mi Yan doesn't feel slighted, and they naturally don't show any dissatisfaction, talking and laughing with everyone drinking and eating.

——Anyway, with the conditions of this place, no matter how delicious the food is, it is impossible to compare with Mifu.

Then eat more staple food and less dishes, just eat enough.

Seeing that Mi Ren didn't look unhappy during the whole banquet, the staff beside Ding Yuan were still a little uneasy.

He has been worrying since Ding Yuan was preparing to eat.

That's right, General Mi said earlier that the dinner party should be simple, but maybe he just wanted to be more polite?You have to know who this Mi Guoshi is, he is the favorite minister of the emperor!Can you get used to this simple food?

Inspector Ding actually believed it? ?

In case someone doesn't show it on the surface, feels that he has been neglected and keeps it in his heart, and then writes a letter to the emperor Shen Ding, the governor, then it's okay?

He persuaded him, but it's a pity that Ding Cishi has a straightforward temperament, and he is straightforward in dealing with people and dealing with things, so he has to say that General Mi is not this kind of person.Hey, now I just hope that he treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

It's a pity that no one on the court realized what he was worried about.

Especially Ding Yuan.

Right now, he was leading a young soldier whose entire right arm was wrapped in linen, and walked up to Mi E: "General, I would like to recommend a good general to you."

When Mi Yan looked over, he said: "This is a soldier under the command of a subordinate official. His name is Lu Bu, and his style name is Fengxian. He is from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County."

After saying that, the young soldier bowed and said in a loud voice, "The last general pays his respects to General Mi."

This man was tall and mighty, with a resolute face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes.Just standing in front of him makes people feel imposing and imposing.

Mi Rian hurriedly lifted him up: "You don't need to be polite when you are engaged, please get up quickly."

Seeing Mi Ren's kind attitude, Ding Yuan showed a gratified and proud smile: "General, you don't know, but Feng Xian is extremely brave. For a person like Hu Yanhao, Feng Xian can completely stop ten with one! Dozens of people surrounded Hu Yanhao's treacherous scheme, and it was all thanks to Fengxian that he saved his humble life."

He sighed: "If it weren't for this, Fengxian's right arm would not be injured. These days he has been recuperating from his injuries and cannot go to the battlefield, otherwise you will be able to see his bravery today, General!"

The soldiers under Ding Yuan's command have now become one with Huang Zhong.

Seeing him recommending Lu Bu to Mi Eun, instead of being jealous at all, they all agreed: "Yes, General, Fengxian's bravery is well known to everyone, and the last general dares to guarantee his life. Fengxian is definitely not in vain. !"

"The last general was deceived by Hu Yanhao before the battle, and it was Feng Xian who single-handedly rescued the last general."

"General, when Fengxian heals up, you can take him with you when you go out to fight. You will surely scare Tu Gehu's grandchildren to death!"

With so many people praising their chests, Mi Yan certainly would not doubt it, and said to Lu Bu and Ding Yuan with a pleasant face, "Okay, thank you Ding Inspector for recommending talents, and I will definitely not be polite when the general wants to use Fengxian."

Ding Yuan said cheerfully: "Your officer can see that the general is a man who loves talents, and it is Fengxian's good fortune to be able to work under the general's command!"

So at the end of the dinner, Mi Yan temporarily accepted Lv Bu, who was admired by everyone.He called Zhang Zhongjing, a military doctor who was with him, and asked him to re-sterilize and bandage Lv Bu's wound.

In the early morning of the next day, Mi Ren called the advisers, Ding Yuan, and several soldiers under his command over to discuss how to defend the city.

Tu Gehu's defeat made many soldiers sleep well at night. Everyone was refreshed and full of confidence in defending Yangqu.

In terms of terrain, Yangqu has a natural advantage in defending the city.It is built on the mountain, located between the Xinding and Jinzhong basins, surrounded by many mountains and few rivers, criss-cross gullies, and surrounded by mountains on three sides in the east, west and north.The terrain in the south is low and flat, which is the entrance when Mi Ren came.

At present, Tu Gehu's large army is stationed in the canyon under the Taihang Mountains in the northeast of Yangqu.To take down Yangqu, they had to besiege the entrances and exits, make siege equipment, and slowly take down Yangqu.

However, the soldiers, horses and military supplies in Yangqu City are insufficient, and there is no effective means to deal with the cavalry. The best way at present is to defend Yangqu and wait for reinforcements.

Speaking of reinforcements, Ding Yuan asked suspiciously: "By the way, General Mi, the imperial court sent an envoy who said they would send us [-] additional soldiers and horses. You only brought half of them, right? When will the remaining half come?"

"No hurry," Mi Yan didn't say that he didn't plan to bring the [-] over this winter, "it will come later."

Ding Yuan thought that the remaining soldiers and horses would arrive in ten and a half days, so he didn't say anything.

The soldiers under his command cheered and thought: "Great, when the reinforcements arrive, we will guard the city gate! No matter how strong Huyan's cavalry is, so what, can they fly to the city wall and attack us?"

"That's right, when the time comes, the old thief Huyan will only dare to look at us from below, but he will have nothing to do with us. If they can't attack for a long time, they will retreat after a long time!"

Everyone said something to each other, as if they had seen the scene where Tu Gehu was so angry that he jumped under the city wall but could only retreat.

After hearing these naive remarks, Mi Yan cruelly shattered their illusions: "No, on the contrary, we must take the initiative to attack. And it must be quick, we must send troops within ten days."

When the words came out, everyone was shocked.

The counselors under Mi Yan's command were better, probably because Mi Yan gave too many surprises, at best they were just curious.But Ding Yuan, who didn't know him well, was completely shocked.

"But general," Ding Yuan was so shocked that he almost cried out in shock, "How can we fight against Tu Gehu's elite team!"

Although he hated Tu Gehu, he had to admit that the enemy army was brave and good at fighting, which was terrifying!

In particular, Tu Gehu has an elite cavalry team of more than [-] people. Whenever a battle is fought, the more than [-] cavalry will charge over like a mountain, breaking up their formation almost instantly!

After they dispersed, it was time for their wanton slaughter.

How do they fight against such a powerful enemy now? !

Not only Ding Yuan, but several soldiers under his command were also stunned. It was completely unexpected that Mi Yan dared to speak so much.After being dazed for a while, he finally came back to his senses and shouted:

"No, General, you may not know Tu Gehu's cavalry. They are very terrifying, and they are by no means comparable to the Yellow Turbans you have dealt with before!"

"General, there are at least [-] good horses in their cavalry. Once the battle begins, these [-] horses will charge towards our army and drown our army almost instantly. This is terrible!"

As they spoke, they obviously recalled the situation of fighting Tu Gehu at that time, and there was an unconcealable fear in their eyes.

Someone else shouted: "General, the last general speaks straight, but even if you want to blame the last general when the enemy is at hand, don't worry about it!"

He poked his neck and closed his eyes and said: "The general thinks that you think about this battle too simply, this is a plan to underestimate the enemy!"

Listening to the generals talking, Ding Yuan saw that Mi Ren didn't realize the difficulty of the matter at all, and immediately became anxious and angry, only hating himself for being stupid and unable to dispel Mi Ren's thoughts: "Oh, Mr. Xun, Mr. Xi, General Huang, you too Advise General Mi!"

All the counselors under Mi Ren's command were quite calm at first, but they smiled when they heard this.Xun You, who was the leader, even shook the feather fan in his hand, said calmly, "Don't be impatient, generals, why don't you let our general finish his plan first."

The bright indifference is in stark contrast to Ding Yuan and others.

Everyone: "..."

Mi Yan also smiled: "Everyone, come with me."

He brought everyone to the sand table made by the soldiers overnight, and placed the black and white chess pieces representing the numbers of the two sides in their positions.

"At present, Tu Gehu has [-] soldiers and horses stationed in the valley of Taihang Mountain. It is too simple for them to besiege us: just dig a ditch and line up in the northeast of Yangqu, and they can completely separate us from the north. way."

"Besides, they can also take a detour to the south of Yangqu and encircle our army in the same way. Is this general right?"

Seeing everyone nodding, he said again: "Once Tu Gehu besieged Yangqu, Yangqu would be like a lonely boat in the sea, unable to sail alone. But Tu Gehu built engineering equipment on the mountain, as long as there is not enough food and grass in the city of Yangqu in the cold winter, they will continue If we attack Yangqu, we will die."

"Under such circumstances, our army can only fight with our backs. However, at that time, our army's morale and situation were far less strong than today."

"Furthermore, General Tu Gehu Hu Yanhao was shot dead by Han Sheng—General Han Sheng's arrow was highly poisonous, and the man was trampled down by a horse. It is estimated that he would not survive three days. This is not good for Tu Gehu's morale. It's also a blow."

"One goes up and down and the other goes up. Our army breaks through the siege within ten days, and we won't lose in momentum."

Everyone nodded their heads, and Ding Yuan asked again: "Even if our army is stronger than Tu Gehu, it is impossible to defeat them for this reason."

When he asked this sentence, he didn't even realize that there was no worry in his tone, but instead brought a little hope: "But we have fewer people than them, and our elites are far behind, so how can we deal with their iron cavalry? "

There are more than 2 guards in the city and more than [-] people brought by Mi Ren, the total is nearly [-], which is no match for Tu Gehu.

In the final analysis, Tu Gehu's cavalry was too tough. They had suffered a lot, and they had already planted a lingering shadow in their hearts.

Mi Ren said: "Do you all remember the battle of Kunyang and Muye?"

The Battle of Kunyang and the Battle of Muye are both famous wars in history where more was won with less.In the Battle of Kunyang, 40 troops led by Liu Xiu defeated Wangyi's 17 troops; in the Battle of Muye, Jiang Ziya led [-] troops from the Zhou Dynasty and defeated [-] troops from the Shang Dynasty.

Of course Ding Yuan knew about it, he hesitated: "...Could it be that the general thinks that our army can win more with less and defeat Tu Gehu?"

Even so, he didn't think they could win at all.

Mi Yan smiled: "Yes."

In fact, it is not. It has never been simple to win more with less. The "Super Dimensional War Theory" written by a tactician in later generations explained the mid-term truth with a mathematical model.

But Mi Yan doesn't intend to explain this for the time being.

Ding Yuan took a deep breath: "This, this, how can our army win more with less?"

Mi Yan said simply: "Use battle formations and weapons."

"As long as our battle formation can restrain Tu Gehu and the elite weapons can kill their cavalry, Tu Gehu will be defeated."

Next, he showed everyone a mixed battle formation specially used to restrain cavalry:

The outermost is the hand, holding a ten-foot-long/spear, which is farther than the cavalry's attack distance; the middle is the waist knife and shield hand, holding a large round shield. Once the cavalry rushes to the front, the first hand retreats into the formation and the shield The hand is forward to resist; the innermost is the archer, with a range of about fifty steps.

This formation can completely cope with the charge of cavalry.

At present they are not equipped enough, but Yangqu is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are many trees in the mountains, and tens of thousands of people can quickly cut down trees to make the big square shield and the ten-foot-long gun handle.

In addition, Mi Yan also brought a small prop: triangular nails.

Triangular nails are the most useful small props against cavalry.The horse must step on it when it charges over, and the horse will basically be useless.The front is covered with dense triangular nails, so the defender doesn't have to be afraid.

"There is only one not-so-wide valley road between Tu Gehu's garrison and Yangqu. This road is covered with tripod nails. Using this formation, do you think it is possible to catch them off guard?"
