Yan Xing never went to the battle.
However, Beigong Boyu did send troops to support every day.
According to the statistics of the soldiers, at least 10,000 soldiers have been sent so far!
There are both cavalry and infantry; both elite and miscellaneous soldiers!
County government.
Wang Hao frowned:"Oh? Another troop was sent today?"
Gao Lan nodded and said,"Yes, there are almost three thousand people, all cavalry, and they arrived early this morning."
Hiss丆
Wang Hao couldn't help but gasp.
For three consecutive days, Beigong Boyu sent troops every morning.
The same goes for cavalry and infantry!
Could it be that........., he has calculated everything?
However, no matter how accurate the calculation is, it can't be so accurate.
Cavalry relies on four legs, while infantry relies on two legs.
Can this difference in leg strength be grasped so accurately by experience?
Wang Hao immediately felt something was wrong!
"Zi Fu!"
An idea flashed through Wang Hao's mind:"Do you still remember the specific number of troops Beigong Boyu sent every day?"
(PS: Gao Lan's courtesy name is really hard to find, so I chose Zi Fu.)
Gao Lan nodded:"Remember! Almost 5,000 people on the first day, 3,000 people on the second day, 3,000 people on the third day, and nearly 4,000 people today. The total strength should be around 15,000 people."
3,000 people!
3,000 people!
4,000 people?
Hiss
Wang Hao couldn't help but gasp.
He was keenly aware that the number of troops coming to support every day did not exceed 5,000 at a time.
Think about it carefully, if Beigong Boyu really wants to send troops to support, as for the small bridges and flowing water, is it like squeezing toothpaste out?
This is obviously not reasonable!
If Chencang can hold out for more than three days.
Will Beigong Boyu draw 10,000 troops from there to support Yan Xing?
Absolutely impossible!
He should go all out and use the most elite troops to attack Chencang!
But now......，
"It's bad!"
Wang Hao suddenly realized that something was wrong:"We may have fallen into a trap!"
Gao Lan frowned:"Fell into a trap?"
Wang Hao nodded:"Yes! Zi Fu, have you sent people to pay attention to the fireworks in the enemy's camp?"
Gao Lan clasped his hands and said:"To be honest with you, my lord, I haven't seen any fireworks recently. I guess they eat dry food!"
"Dry food?"
Wang Hao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Normally, the army would bring dry food when going on an expedition.
But if there are troops stationed in a camp, who the hell would be willing to eat dry food?
After all, this kind of thing is just to fill the stomach and can't be eaten as a meal!
Wang Hao suddenly became suspicious.
Without a fire! There is no way to judge the actual number of troops stationed on the other side.
If you are a human, you must eat. This is a physiological need. If the other party has been eating dry food, it proves that they are not stationed at all!
But if they are not stationed, what are they doing?
Wang Hao pondered for a long time!
His eyes fell on Gao Lan:"Zi Fu, after Yan Xing withdraws his troops today, send some scouts at night and let them scout in the direction of Chencang. But if there is any news, report it immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"
"My Lord, do you doubt......"
Gao Lan seemed to realize something and said tentatively
"Let's send someone to investigate first!"
Wang Hao didn't dare to draw any conclusions, and waved his hand and said,"When the results come out, we will know naturally!" Gao Lan bowed and said,"Don't worry, my lord, I will make proper arrangements!"
Wang Hao nodded,"Okay!" At midnight , in the study, Wang Hao put down his book and drank a mouthful of soup:
"Yu'er, I will wait for news tonight, you don't have to wait, go to bed quickly."
Zhao Yu frowned:
"how?"
"It's so late, is there anything else?"
Wang Hao smiled calmly and said softly:
"I hope it's ok."
"Just in case......"
Before he finished speaking, a hurried voice suddenly rang out from outside the study:
"Lord!"
""My Lord!"
It was Gao Lan.
Wang Hao immediately recognized it.
He looked up and saw Gao Lan rushing towards him.
Without waiting for the other party to bow, Wang Hao interrupted him with a wave of his hand:
"Have the Xiliang troops been discovered?"
""Yes!"
Gao Lan nodded heavily and said,"My lord is truly a god. Not long after I sent out scouts, they discovered the Xiliang soldiers in a forest leading to Chencang!"
"Oh?"
Wang Hao exclaimed in surprise:"How many soldiers are there?"
Gao Lan exhaled:"It's too dark at night, I can't see clearly, but they inferred that there must be at least three thousand soldiers!"
"Three thousand soldiers and horses!"
At this moment!
Wang Hao was relieved.
The corners of his lips slightly raised:"It seems that my guess is right! These guys sent the troops out at night, and then brought them back in front of us during the day, making us mistakenly believe that they are sending troops to support us continuously!"
"But actually!"
"They only have 5,000 soldiers and they haven't moved at all!"
Gao Lan on the side also echoed:"Yes! When I got the intelligence, I also understood the other party's intention. I have to say that Beigong Boyu really planned well to stop us from attacking Chencang!"
"Chencang?"
Wang Hao shook his head:"Zi Fu, you underestimate Beigong Boyu. They have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and have besieged Chencang for such a long time. If they still haven't taken it, how can they invade the three prefectures and compete with the court for hegemony!"
"Oh?"
Gao Lan was stunned:"Then the Lord means......",
Wang Hao blurted out without thinking:"If I guess correctly, they are not trying to stop me from supporting Chencang, but to stop me from supporting Chang'an!"
"These Xiliang bastards must be trying their best to storm Chang'an. They want to capture Chang'an before the imperial reinforcements arrive, and then control Hangu Pass and come back to deal with us!"
""Ah?"
Gao Lan was stunned.
He knew too well the strategic role of Chang'an for Luoyang.
It was a barrier!
Once Chang'an fell into the hands of the Liangzhou rebels, it would be equivalent to opening the western gate of Luoyang.
They could send a group of elite soldiers at any time to attack Luoyang thousands of miles away, threatening the safety of the court at all times!
Even if the court sent troops to attack, they could control Hangu Pass and establish their own territory with the least amount of troops! They could attack when advancing and defend when retreating!
This move was absolutely brilliant!
And for them stationed in Yong County, it would be a fatal blow!
After all! One person can't do anything!
They only have a few thousand soldiers.
Once the enemy army occupies Chang'an and then sends troops to attack, how can they last long!
"My Lord, what should we do?
Gao Lan frowned and bowed.
"What can we do?"
Wang Hao took a deep breath and made a prompt decision:"Chang'an is an important city. It will take at least ten days or half a month to take it down. Now it's only three days, it's not too late, we still have time to play with him!"
"Zi Fu"
"The end will be in the light!"
"Quickly beat the drum to gather the troops, we must defeat this group of Xiliang bandits tonight!"
"promise!"
