Chapter 299: Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement (Please vote and subscribe)
"Yes, our tribe has a strong city to defend. As long as we stay inside, no matter how many enemies come, they can't do anything to us. So I'm not worried about Hanyang City.
What we need to worry about now is the tribes that come to the market to trade. They don't know the situation. If they come rashly, they will definitely fall into the trap. When some of them are caught and some escape, what do you think those tribes will do?" Luo Chong reminded them again.
After listening to the conversation between Luo Chong and Shou Ya, Shu Da and Xue Tu also suddenly understood, but they still didn't quite understand what Luo Chong meant
. What was the connection between these tribes being caught and Hanyang City being surrounded. "They should be scared and run away. Maybe they will never dare to come to the market in Hanyang City to trade again." Shu Da speculated.
"Well, what you said is very likely. What about you two? Do you have any other opinions?" Luo Chong looked at Xue Tu and Shou Ya, indicating that they should also express their opinions.
"I think what Chief Mouse said makes sense, but of course there are other possibilities. Didn't the Mouse Witch's letter say that the Snake Tribe's settlement was captured, and now the Snake leader has taken the remaining tribesmen to our Hanyang City. Their homes are gone now, and they live in Hanyang City again. When they see the defense of Hanyang City, I think they will definitely join our Han Tribe and become our tribesmen.
In this way, the population of our tribe will increase quickly. The leader's meaning should be that some people from other tribes have been captured, but they have no city to stop the enemy. The best way is definitely to enter Hanyang City like the Snake Tribe and finally join us.
But by then, Hanyang City must have been surrounded by the enemy, and the four gates are closed, even if those tribes want to enter the city, it will be difficult." Xue Tu also guessed what Luo Chong meant, but he still didn't understand how Luo Chong wanted to operate in order to achieve this goal and maximize the interests of the Han Tribe. After
listening to Xue Tu's analysis, Rat Da was enlightened. It turned out that Luo Chong's goal was to use this crisis to rapidly expand the Han Tribe.
"You are right. The enemy's attack may seem like a crisis, but if we operate properly, it may also be an opportunity for the Han tribe, an opportunity that can make the Han tribe grow rapidly. To achieve this goal, it depends on how we operate.
Shouya, tell me what you think. If you were asked to take charge, what would you do to achieve this strategic goal?" Luo Chong affirmed the guesses of several people, and finally asked Shouya, who had the best brain among the three.
Shouya was calm after hearing Luo Chong asking for his opinion.
"I think if we want to achieve this goal, we can lead the troops back now, but not back to Hanyang City, but to the salt mine west of Hanyang City, or to the mountains south of Hanyang City. In short, we should stay near Hanyang City, but we can't go back immediately.
Then we can wait for a few days. When we arrive at the market, those tribes that come to trade will definitely be caught, but their number is small, and it is very likely that they will be wiped out, and no one will be able to escape.
So we should send some soldiers to conduct reconnaissance, guerrilla warfare, and harassment. When the trading teams of those tribes are about to be caught, we will rescue a few of them. , and then let these escaped warriors report the situation back to their own tribes, and let them go back to the tribe to call for reinforcements.
In this way, we can slowly gather the coalition forces of various tribes outside Hanyang City. When the number of people exceeds that of the enemy, we will lead the coalition forces and cooperate with the defenders of Hanyang City to counter-encircle and annihilate the thousands of enemy troops in one fell swoop.
Moreover, we can capture some of these enemies alive, and then demote them to slaves and send them here to work. I think our new city construction also needs a lot of people. It's just right to use these slaves as coolies. "Shouya said, stroking the not very long beard on his chin.
"Yes, your idea is similar to mine, but it is still lacking. Our ultimate goal is not only to annihilate this group of enemy troops, but also to take the opportunity to absorb the strength of the surrounding tribes. Therefore, when assembling the coalition forces, we must first explain the interests to them and force them to join the Han tribe after the war." Luo Chong affirmed Shouya's strategy, and then added a little more.
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Chief. I will remember it." Shouya nodded and said.
"Well, Shuda, Xuetu, you two are also generals leading the army. You should use your brains more when you encounter problems in the future. When you are free, learn more from Shouya. It will be good for you in the future.
Although it is said that kindness cannot command the army and righteousness cannot command wealth, being a general cannot just be daring to fight and kill. The lives of so many soldiers are in the hands of you generals. They also have wives and children. I don't want to take them to die because of your momentary impulse or wrong decision. That would be too worthless. Do you understand?" Luo Chong educated the two.
"Yes, Chief, we understand. We will think about the problem seriously in the future and not take our brothers to die." Shu Da and Xue Tu quickly replied.
"Well, okay, let's do as Shou Ya said. Let the soldiers pack up today, and make a fire to cook before dawn tomorrow. Let all the soldiers finish breakfast at dawn, and then march to Hanyang City while it is cool in the morning. The target is the small hill below Tuogu Ridge. When the time comes, we will gather the coalition forces there." Luo Chong directly ordered the three to move.
"Yes, Chief, then you see, how to reply to the letter from the Rat Witch, do you need to tell the plan to the people in Hanyang City?" Shu Da reminded.
"No need for this for now, I will write the reply myself, and you can do what you need to do."
After saying these words, Luo Chong took the letter from Shu Da's hand and wrote directly below it with burnt charcoal.
"I have read it. Hold on and wait for help. Do not open the city gates to meet the enemy without permission. In an emergency, you can kill the pigs and sheep in the city to fill your stomach. I have other plans. Don't worry, don't ask. Treat the remaining people
of the Snake Tribe well." After writing the reply, Luo Chong asked Bazuka to send the letter back again, and then walked around the camp again, looking for Youye's figure, intending to tell him about the work progress after he left.
Luo Chong brought a large number of convoys and workers here this time, not only to escort materials, but also to let these craftsmen with construction experience lead the hired workers to build here.
Now because of the affairs of the Han tribe headquarters, the army here will be transferred directly. The 30 craftsmen left will merge with Youye's 20-person caravan to form a 50-person new city preparation team to continue to supervise and direct the workers to work here.
At dawn the next day, the soldiers who had finished their meals early began to assemble, and finally held the banner of the Han tribe, and under the personal leadership of Luo Chong, they prepared to return to the camp to complete this plan.
