He Lanmin looked around, and as far as she could see, there were only two thousand cavalry and armored cavalry arrayed in the square behind the city gate. There were no other soldiers. She shook her head in disbelief: "That's impossible. , this square is the only place where troops can deploy in Beicheng. Even if Murong Zhen can hide himself, he can't hide the eight thousand armored cavalry as well? Lord Fifth Floor, did you make a wrong judgment?"
Gongsun Wulou shook his head confidently and said: "There can be no mistake. Ju's armored cavalry is extremely fast. In less than half a moment, he can run five or six miles away. He only needs to disperse and hide his armored cavalry in the streets near here." In the alley, wait until our army leaves the city before dispatching, then you can rush out after us."
He Lanmin raised his lips and said, "Then why can't he go in another direction and have to attack from this northern city?"
Gongsun Wulou smiled and said: "Because the East City, West City and South City are all fighting fiercely at this time. The Jin army has either attacked the city wall or is attacking the city gate. At this time, it is impossible to open the city gate and rush out, even if it is barely opened. Going out of the city through the city gate is just like opening the double wall and rushing out hundreds of people at the ghost wall before. It is still a city wall hundreds of steps wide, and it is just a few hundred people rushing out at once. As a result, From a military point of view, this number of troops cannot be deployed quickly, nor can they defeat the Jin army facing them at once."
He Lanmin said thoughtfully: "I see, but the cavalry can be deployed at the north gate to sweep through the cities? Liu Yu wouldn't have thought of such a thing, right? If he had laid an ambush, for example, when our army just left the city, he used If there is a sudden attack with catapults or bows and arrows, or if a large number of cavalry are used to charge forward, will we also suffer heavy losses?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded: "It stands to reason, so Heipao wants us to attack with two thousand cavalry just to test the opponent's reaction. If Liu Yu really has a killing move in Beicheng, I don't think it will be because hundreds of people came out of the city. , all one or two thousand cavalry will be mobilized. This is our opportunity. When the time comes, your more than two hundred cavalry will go north, and my troops out of the city will form an array. The Jin army may think that your small force is a test attack. We won’t send out a large army to intercept them, so you can rush out just in time.”
He Lanmin smiled slightly: "What about your two thousand cavalry? Are they just waiting in formation outside the city?"
Gongsun Wulou smiled and said: "When the time comes, you come to observe the situation. Even if you don't know the soldiers, Murong Lin is a general and has experienced hundreds of battles. He can see clearly whether there are ambushes at a glance. If there is really no big army in Beicheng, If there is an ambush by the Jin army, ask him to send me a signal, and I will follow you to break out to the north. If there is an ambush by the Jin army outside the North City, especially in the dense forest six or seven miles away from the city, then you can go around the forest. , and I will maneuver in the direction of the West City or the East City, and when necessary, I will make sideways insertions to destroy the formation of the Jin army's siege troops."
"Up until now, the Jin army has been able to attack our city walls without any worries, while we have been passively attacked everywhere. This is very detrimental to us. Even if Murong Town wants to attack, it is only to disrupt the Jin army. When the time comes, our army will attack first, followed by Murong Town. The Jin army's siege troops cannot take care of both the head and tail. Only then can the defenders on our city wall take the opportunity to destroy the Jin army near the city, and this battle can be won."
He Lanmin smiled and said: "I didn't expect that what you want is to win this battle, not just to go to the north to separate and establish ourselves. Then if we solve the siege of Guanggu, wouldn't we become the number one hero? Do we still need to go to the north?"
Gongsun Wulou curled up his lips: "I have said before that I can't stay in Guanggu City. Even if I win this battle, I will face revenge from Helan Lu and Murong Zhen afterwards. I have to take advantage of this opportunity. Go to the north and take over the Helan tribe, only then can we protect ourselves and our peace."
When Gu said this, Gongsun Wulou stared at He Lanmin motionlessly and said seriously: "Minmin, your eldest brother and you are just brothers and sisters in name only. He abandoned you when you were young and sent you to Dugu alone. I became a miko and just used you, but this time is a good opportunity for you to take revenge on him. Only by following me can I give you long-term peace."
He Lanmin gritted her teeth: "Why should I trust you? You and I have no love and no mutual use. If the token is in your hands, I will have no effect on you. Why do you still protect me?"
There was a trace of loneliness in Gongsun Wulou's eyes, and he murmured: "Over the years, as a disciple in black robe, and also as his craziest evil dog, I have done too many things that are harmful to nature and contrary to conscience. In this world, I don’t know how many people want to kill me. Even this Guanggu City, which should be my home, is the place I want to escape from now. I think you must be familiar with that feeling."
He Lanmin did not answer these words, but tears filled her eyes.
Gongsun Wulou looked at He Lanmin: "I'm tired. I don't want to do those things anymore, and I don't want to be driven by others anymore. I just want to have my own tribe, have my own small foundation in this troubled world, and not be afraid of others." We don't need to be instigated by others to annex. After pacifying the Helan tribe, we will take advantage of the fight between Heipao and Liu Yu to head north, return to the grassland, and live a free life in a place where no one can harm us. . Minmin, don’t you want days like this?”
He Lanmin gritted her teeth: "I still have revenge to take, and I also want to take revenge on the Northern Wei Dynasty, and on those Northern Wei emperors and generals who killed my son!"
Gongsun Wulou shook his head: "Minmin, you are still alive and breathing, it is a gift from God. Your son was killed, but you and I don't know how many people's sons we killed. If you repay this, Repayment comes and goes, can it be repaid? We can have more sons together in the future. Isn't it more necessary to let these children grow up and enjoy love and happiness than to avenge a person who has died? "
He Lanmin was silent for a while, and sighed faintly: "You are right, maybe, I don't want to avenge my son, but to fulfill my obsession. I hate Tuoba Si because of my love, so I try my best to get him. To take revenge on him, I ended up risking my own son's life. I brought all this on myself and no one else is to blame. Gongsun Wulou, I thank you for reminding me so that I can wake up. I will rush north with Murong Lin. Yes, I hope I can help you realize your plan, but please remember your words, if you deceive me and use me again this time, then my revenge and curse will be the thing you regret most in your life!"
She said and rode away. Wang Mengzi followed closely beside her. Behind her, Gongsun Wulou looked at her leaving figure with a slight smile on his lips, which disappeared in an instant.
