Lin Zhihuang had already anticipated that the defeated troops in Wan County would flee from various city gates, so he had deployed troops and horses outside Wan County City to intercept and capture them.

But I really didn't expect that when the city was broken, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Wan County made no move to resist the enemy's attack. Instead, they simply fled outward in a swarm. Therefore, they only intercepted and captured nearly 6,000 defeated soldiers, and also captured more than 6,000 defeated soldiers.

Nearly five thousand defeated soldiers fled outside.

Three days later, Hu Hong and Jiang Yuehe, who were ordered to capture the defeated soldiers, returned. Except for the more than a thousand defeated soldiers who fled to the county town of Huanshui County, they rashly pursued them and captured more than 4,000 defeated soldiers.

This time Lin Zhihuang led an army of 30,000 to attack Wan County of Huanshui County. 263 of our own soldiers were seriously injured and 541 were slightly injured. No one was killed. A total of more than 9,000 defeated soldiers and more than 400 horses were captured.

match.

Wan County County Government Hall.

"Congratulations to my lord on your victory in the first battle!"

After hearing the statistics of the number of casualties in the battle, all of Lin Zhihuang's subordinates raised their hands and congratulated Lin Zhihuang, who was sitting at the top of the hall.

"Hahaha! Congratulations to you all!" Lin Zhihuang stood up with great splendor and solemnly congratulated all the subordinates in the hall.

As soon as Lin Zhihuang performed this ceremony, all the subordinates in the hall laughed in unison, and the joy in the county government hall was like thunder.

After the masters and servants in the hall laughed for a while, they quickly calmed down and began to discuss post-war matters.

Sui Bian Hong took the lead and said: "Behind Wan County is Huanshui County. According to the news from the Shadow Envoy, Xue Thief has sent reinforcements to Huanshui County with a total of more than 20,000 troops this time."

Wen Nanfang answered: "This time our army attacked Wan County and easily captured nearly 10,000 of Xue's troops. However, Xue's troops to reinforce Huanshui County were only left with more than 10,000 troops. Huanshui County originally had

There are more than 10,000 troops stationed in the city. Based on this calculation, Huanshui County should have more than 20,000 troops defending the city at this time."

Xiao Qi said: "Wan County is about fifteen days' journey from the county seat of Huanshui County. Our army attacked the city too fast, but we captured Wan County in just one day. Huanshui County should still be there at this time.

We have not received any news that Wan County has been breached. Our army may consider taking advantage of the victory to pursue it, and before Huanshui County has yet to react, we can march quickly and attack again in one go."

"No, it's freezing cold. If we march in a hurry, our troops will be in worse condition than the other side. Our troops are attacking the city and will consume more physical strength than the defenders during the battle. This will put us at a disadvantage." Jiang Yuehe.

Frowning, he shook his head to deny this strategy.

Liang Fengyuan said in a cold voice: "Looking at the snow situation outside, it will definitely not stop snowing within five days. The weather is bad and it is really not suitable to march in a hurry."

Xiao Qi thought for a while and said to Jiang Yuehe and Liang Feng: "The two generals are right. It is Qi who is radical."

Lin Zhihuang's subordinates each have their own personalities, and it is inevitable that they will occasionally get into trouble.

As the lord, Lin Zhihuang did not force his subordinates to love each other. Instead, he allowed them to naturally release their own natures, and then placed them in the most suitable positions under his command based on their character and abilities.

Under the subtle guidance of the lord Lin Zhihuang, all the subordinates usually go about their business, and when it comes to business, right will be right and wrong will be wrong. They will never delay major events because of personal grudges.

Lin Zhihuang has always been extremely happy about this matter.

Therefore, as long as the quarrel among the subordinates was not too excessive, Lin Zhihuang, the master, would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.

Seeing that all his subordinates were opposed to marching again, Lin Zhihuang said: "The weather is bad and our army has won a big victory at this time, so let's rest where we are. This is the best strategy."

"Promise!" Everyone agreed in unison.

After everyone in the hall discussed how to rest and recuperate the troops stationed in place, Hu Hong said regretfully: "God is really unkind. If it hadn't snowed so hard and the soldiers were marching in a clear way, they wouldn't have consumed much energy. Forty thousand soldiers would fight twenty thousand soldiers."

, it is indeed a good strategy to attack the city by surprise."

Wen Nannan said: "Perhaps this bad weather can become a weapon for our army."

Xiao Qi heard this and asked curiously: "How can Wen Canjun say this?"

Wen Nanfang replied: "Our army captured Wan County in just one day, where more than 10,000 soldiers were guarding the city. Huanshui County must have been panicked when they heard this news. It happened to be snowing heavily these days, and Huanshui County also

They would think that our army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and continued marching to attack the county and city. It must be due to the weather."

A smile flashed across Bian Hong's peach blossom eyes, and he understood what Wen Nanfang meant: "Congshen, do you want to lure the soldiers and horses of Huanshui County to come out in full force and take the initiative to attack our army?"

Hu Hong opened his eyes wide when he heard this: "How is this possible? Defending the city is easier than attacking it. Our army has twice the number of soldiers and horses in Huanshui County. Could it be that the generals stationed in Huanshui County are crazy and come over to attack our army?"

The corners of Sui Bianhong's lips curved slightly into a charming arc: "Of course the general of Huanshui County is not crazy, but we can make him crazy."

Hu Hong became slightly excited: "How to do it?"

Wen Nanfang said softly: "Civil unrest."

Hu Hong was puzzled: "Civil unrest?"

"When the defeated army of Wan County reaches the county seat of Huanshui County, everyone in Huanshui County will be in panic for a while, and the generals stationed in Huanshui County will also guess that our army will march in a hurry and attack Huanshui County again."

Hu Hong seemed to understand, and followed the words: "However, our army is currently resting in place due to weather conditions."

Xiao Qi said thoughtfully: "The generals stationed in Huanshui County, after guarding the city with high intensity for more than ten days, discovered that our army had temporarily rested in Wan County and had not attacked the city."

Then Bian Hong added: "At this time, the general of Huanshui County will think that it is because of the heavy snow that our army gave up the pursuit of victory."

Jiang Yuehe understood: "At this time, the generals stationed in Huanshui County will think that we will attack when the snow stops, and then they will be on high alert to prevent our army from attacking. But our army is still stationed in Wan County

, there is no sign of marching to Huanshui County."

Wen Nanfang nodded: "At this time, the generals and soldiers of Huanshui County have been highly nervous for more than a month, and their mentality must be unstable."
