Chapter 1716： Soldiers, true or false, and deceitful!

If Huo Qubing said that he would lead 500,000 cavalry to deal with the enemy's 2 million reinforcements, the lieutenant would not be surprised at all.

After all, the opponent is the Ice and Snow Dynasty. To deal with their army, more cavalry is naturally more secure.

It can be said that he led 1.5 million soldiers to deal with the two million reinforcements of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, and the lieutenant said nothing would be believed.

After all, this is Huo Qubing!

The cavalry commander's ability has reached the level of the top generals, and the leaders are all elite cavalry, now this ice and snow dynasty west is especially suitable for cavalry attack.

The right time and place occupied two of them, so it is impossible to directly lead 1.5 million cavalry to attack.

Not to mention, now we have to encircle Xiping City and take away 1.5 million cavalry, leaving half a million cavalry, how can it be impossible to encircle Xiping City.

You know, Xiping City is the western big city of the Ice and Snow Dynasty!

"General, do you have any other arrangements?" the deputy general looked at Huo Qubing and asked.

"natural."

Huo Qubing smiled slightly and told the deputy general about his plan.

"This..." The lieutenant hesitated and said, "General, is this too risky?"

"There is no such thing as a risk." Huo Qubing shook his head and said, "You do as I said, and Xiping City will be broken in at most three days."

"The final commander!" The lieutenant said no more.

After the arrangement, Huo Qubing immediately led 1.5 million cavalry out of Xiping City to stop the reinforcements of Xiping City.

The remaining 500,000 cavalry, under Huo Qubing's order, the East Gate stayed behind 200,000, and the remaining three directions only had 100,000 cavalry.

Surrounded the four gates of Xiping City with half a million horses.

"that's it?"

In Xiping City, the former Lan Suiguan general Hou Nongyu frowned.

The spies reported the matter outside Xiping city, but he was very puzzled.

Xiping City is not one of the top cities in the western border of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, but it is also considered to be the top five cities.

A big city!

Even though he only had an army of 300,000, he still had more than 1.5 million private soldiers in Xiping City.

Of course, the combat power of those private soldiers is incomparable with the real army, but that is also an army of more than one million.

Frontal combat is not good, but defending the city is absolutely no problem.

Just half a million cavalry, wanting to surround the city of Xiping with 1.5 million defenders, this is simply a joke.

In the art of war, ten encircles, five attacks, doubles fights, and the enemy can divide.

The meaning is simple. Our army will encircle and annihilate the enemy if it is ten times the enemy, attack if it is five times the enemy, try to defeat the enemy when it is twice the enemy, and find a way to defeat the enemy if evenly matched.

Now Huo Qubing has only half a million cavalry, which is less than one-third of the army in Xiping City. Such an army is actually encircling it.

This is too weird.

Moreover, these 500,000 cavalry have only 100,000 cavalry, except for the 200,000 enemy troops in the east gate.

If he chooses one party to concentrate his forces on the offensive, he may even destroy the 100,000 cavalry directly.

Huo Qubing is a cavalry commander capable of reaching the top military commander, how could he do such a behavior?

"Are you sure that Huo Qubing has led the troops out of Xiping City?" Hou Nongyu asked, staring at the spies.

"It's true. Huo Qubing did lead a 1.5 million cavalry out of Xiping City. The direction should be to cross Xiping City and attack to support our reinforcements." The spy replied.

"This……"

Hou Nongyu really didn't know what was going on.

The enemy is too strange.

"The order continues, and the four-door defenders are strictly ordered to be prepared to prevent the enemy from attacking the city."

Before he knew what Huo Qubing's purpose was, Hou Nongyu dared not let the army do more.

...

"General, as you guessed it, Hou Nongyu did not order the army to go out of the city gate to attack, but chose to guard strictly."

After the defense of Xiping City changed, Huo Qubing got the news immediately.

"Unexpectedly." Huo Qubing smiled faintly.

After a big defeat, Hou Nongyu now dare not take risks.

This gave Huo Qubing the opportunity to plan.

"Where are the enemy reinforcements?" Huo Qubing asked.

"We are still one day away."

"it is good!"

Huo Qubing nodded and passed the order to the army, stationed there, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

"Yes!"

The lieutenant commanded the order, but after a little hesitation, the lieutenant asked: "General, we swaggered away from the front of Xiping City. Hou Nongyu in Xiping City must know that he will definitely send orders to the enemy reinforcements."

"If we don't make some changes, the enemy will definitely know our position. Wouldn't it be a bad idea?"

"All I want is to let them know."

Huo Qubing laughed and said, "They don't know, how could this general break through Xiping City?"

The lieutenant said no more.

On the other side, in the army camp of the Ice and Snow Dynasty's two million reinforcements, the commander Wang Yanquan frowned and watched the news from Hou Nongyu.

Huo Qubing led 1.5 million soldiers to leave Xiping City with the goal of blocking the two million reinforcements he led.

At the same time, the remaining 500,000 cavalry are still besieging Xiping City, which is really strange.

How could Xiping be surrounded by such a big city with 500,000 cavalry?

"General, what shall we do now?"

The lieutenant looked at Wang Yanquan and said: "If we continue to go now, we will face Huo Qubing's 1.5 million elite cavalry. Although we have an army of two million, we are all infantry. It is difficult to stop facing the cavalry."

"But if we don't go, Xiping City will be under siege. When the follow-up Mengtian infantry arrives, Xiping City will be broken within three days."

"General, what shall we do?"

"Ugh!"

Wang Yanquan sighed and did not answer.

Because in his heart, he doesn't know what to do now.

The lieutenant was right, he went, and was attacked by Huo Qubing's army.

Don't go, Xiping City is broken.

Regardless of the result, it is not a good result.

Because the order he received was to lead troops to help Xiping City, if Xiping City was broken, he was guilty.

What if General Zu Zhi was here now!

Wang Yanquan sighed in his heart, he also knew what had happened in the capital. At such a critical juncture, Zu Zhi still had not been reused.

Let these generals of the Ice and Snow Dynasty feel like a dragon without a head.

"General, order the army to move on!" At this moment, another deputy stood up.

"It is very likely that we will encounter Huo Qubing's cavalry army. We can't stop it, how can we move forward?" Wang Yanquan said while looking at his lieutenant.

"But General, if we don't move on, will we not meet Huo Qubing's army?" The lieutenant smiled bitterly, and said: "Huo Qubing led an offensive of 1.5 million soldiers, making it clear that it was for our two million army. "
