He also knew that his brother was no longer the same as before, and that these old brothers had to have a sense of boundaries and understand their place.
Therefore, in such an important occasion, Tang Yanhai naturally had to be addressed respectfully.
Zhao Muyun was intimidating without being angry, and nodded slightly to show encouragement.
Tang Yanhai took a deep breath and told them the information they had gathered in the past few days.
"Commander Tong of Weizhou Prefecture and the other ten Zhechoufu troops sent by Lord Pei for support, totaling 11,000 men, are currently trapped in Weizhou City by the Tartars."
"The Tartars have 7,000 soldiers and horses, stationed at the north, east, and south gates of Weizhou City, leaving only the west gate open. "
When Tang Yanhai said this, someone immediately whispered:
"Surround three sides and leave one side open. This is the siege method we often use in Dayin to prevent the enemy in the city from fighting desperately."
"It seems to give the defenders a chance to survive, but in fact it destroys the fighting spirit of the people in the city!"
Zhao Muyun also heard the discussion and nodded secretly.
This time, King Zhelan went south instead of attacking Shuozhou but came to Weizhou. It seems that there are many Dayin people serving him in the army!
Otherwise, given the nature of the Northern Di people, they would not have been able to come up with such a seemingly simple art of war that is deeply imbued with the principle of attacking the heart.
Hearing people talking, Tang Yanhai paused, and Zhao Muyun signaled him to continue reporting.
"Also, the Tartars should have hidden a lot of troops on Feihu Ridge, the only way between Weizhou Prefecture and Shuozhou Prefecture."
"Five of our scouts died, and we finally got a rough estimate. A conservative estimate is no less than 5,000 people."
Tang Yanhai said this with an angry look on his face.
The soldiers in the scout camp are very elite, equivalent to the special forces like Zhao Muyun in the previous life. It is very painful to lose one or two of them.
"Five thousand soldiers?"
The number obtained after five people died of Tang Yanhai must be correct.
The problem is that King Zhelan only has a total of 13,000 cavalry on the Daqingshan grassland.
In the last battle of Shuozhou, more than 2,000 cavalry were lost, and this time, Ogeduo, a captain, and his 1,000 cavalry were completely wiped out in Yinzhou.
There are less than 10,000 soldiers capable of fighting.
There must always be one or two thousand soldiers left on the grassland.
There were only 7,000 soldiers besieging the city, and King Zhelan had no more soldiers to send. He couldn't send the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the tribe!
The only explanation is that the Northern Di Chanyu also sent troops to the north of the Daqing Mountains to act together with the King of Zhelan.
