Wang Yan soon received a letter from Tan Junyan.
She said that she would go and take pictures right away, and as for the afternoon supplies, she would not send them for the time being until they were through this storm.
The letter also mentioned that Wei Guang, who went to Tianshui City for help, had returned.
Xue Bang, the commander-in-chief stationed in Tianshui City, not only refused to send troops to provide assistance, but also had an arrogant attitude and spoke rudely.
He said that whether Pengshui City was captured or not was none of his business, he was only responsible for guarding Tianshui City.
Even if Pengshui City was destroyed, it had nothing to do with them.
…
"Damn Xue Bang, so unfair."
After reading Tan Junyan's letter, Chen Hu was so angry that his breathing became heavy.
"When the gods didn't give us water or food, they borrowed three thousand dan of grain from us, and we haven't paid it back yet!"
Xu Dong nodded.
"Yeah! He never mentioned it again, as if it never happened."
"General Tan knew the situation there wasn't optimistic, so he never asked them for anything."
"Last time we asked him for support, he just agreed verbally and then did nothing."
"This time it's even worse. He doesn't even pretend. How despicable."
"Stop being angry, both of you. Come over here and help me check which ones are the photos of the North Gate."
Wang Yan looked through the photos taken by Tan Junyan and felt a little confused.
Pengshui City has four gates, and it is difficult to tell which gate the photo is of.
According to the description in Tan Junyan's letter, the Daliang army would launch an attack on the city from the north gate.
The number of civilians coming to surrender the city from nearby cities stopped increasing, and the other three sides had been surrounded again by the barbarian army.
Upon hearing this, Xu Dong and Chen Hu hurried over.
“This is the South Gate.”
Chen Hu reached out and swiped his phone.
"This one is also the South Gate, and this one isn't either... This one is the North Gate, and this one is also..."
Wang Yan observed carefully and found that the North Gate, like the other three gates, had no greenery and looked very desolate.
But compared with the other gates, the terrain is narrower.
Judging from the photo, 300 meters away from the city gate, there are mountains on both sides, and the road in the middle is less than 100 meters wide.
Although it does not hinder the people from entering and leaving the city on a daily basis, it can at least limit the dispersion of the attacking soldiers.
The mountains on both sides are very steep, especially the one on the right, which is so steep that it almost goes straight up and down.
It seems that the people took soil to build buildings and dug it into high cliffs.
If you set up an ambush on the mountains on both sides and prepare heavy objects such as boulders and logs, it will undoubtedly be a barrier.
This kind of scene has been seen on TV. It was a very common ambush method in ancient times. Didn’t the Tan family army know how to use it?
And the Daliang army actually chose to attack the city at the north gate. Isn’t this seeking death?
It seems that their understanding of war at that time was too superficial.
When it comes to deploying troops, it has to be the Warring States Period.
During the Warring States Period, the fighters were more cunning than the other and would never make such a low-level mistake.
After observing for a moment, he said to Chen Hu, "How far are the mountains on both sides in front of the city gate?"
"It's about as far from here as the barber shop, and there are no mountains beyond that."
Chen Hu said truthfully.
"That's only about 600 to 700 meters!" Wang Yan rubbed his hands.
"Very good."
"In this case, let's teach the Daliang army a lesson."
He took out his cell phone and called Sun Hao, "Haozi, buy me ten carts of straw or licorice, the kind that catches fire easily."
"What do you want that for?" Sun Hao felt very strange.
Why does Wang Yan buy everything? What is he doing?
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just do whatever I tell you to do."
Wang Yan didn't explain and just scolded him.
"I'm in a hurry here. It must be delivered to me within two hours."
"If you can't do it, then I'll fire you!"
"Also, give me some gasoline..."
Wang Yan scratched his head and thought for a moment, "Let's go for 500 kilograms!"
"I guarantee it will be there within two hours." Sun Hao dared not refuse and agreed decisively.
Chen Hu and Xu Dong stared at Wang Yan blankly, not knowing what he was doing.
"Hi."
Wang Yan ended the call and smiled at the two of them.
He opened the photo album on his phone again and pointed at the photo, saying, "This road is covered with flammable licorice. If we pour gasoline on it and set it on fire, the Daliang Army will be much colder."
"There are also two sides of the mountain. Set up an ambush in advance and bring stones and logs up there. We will definitely knock them down."
Chen Hu was surprised when he heard this: "Why didn't we think of this idea before?"
"Yes!" Xu Dong nodded.
"We already knew how to act recklessly. The competition is about who is braver and who has more soldiers and horses."
"I didn't expect a fight could be fought like this."
“It really opened my eyes.”
Chen Hu scratched his head. "The point is, we all just act recklessly over there. We don't use our brains."
Wang Yan rolled his eyes when he heard this. "Fighting a war can't just rely on brute force. You have to use your brain."
"Just acting brute force without using strategy, what's the difference between that and a fight between children?"
"It's you. You are much better than us." Xu Dong looked at Wang Yan with eyes full of admiration.
"Of course, our boss can take on a whole group of people."
Chen Hu looked proud.
"Our boss, if he were on our side, we wouldn't just passively take the beating, but would go and beat them."
"Actually, these are nothing. There are still big moves to come."
Wang Yan narrowed his eyes.
"If they dare to attack the city from the north gate, I'm sure they'll be in great pain after this set of medical treatments I'll give them."
"At the same time, the Tan family army will become famous in one battle."
"The cloth has been unloaded..."
