Chapter 375 Masters compete with each other
the other side.
Even though the encirclement had been formed, facing Song Yuan's resourcefulness, Luo Jia did not dare to relax at all.
He always sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Daqin.
Song Yuan had just sent people to demolish the city walls on both sides when Luojia immediately received the news!
"What on earth is this guy up to?"
Song Yuan's actions far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Upon hearing these details, the high priest frowned slightly, his expression slightly surprised.
I really didn't expect that Song Yuan would use this trick!
Speaking of which, the high priest's current condition is also a miracle.
He was on the verge of death, with his life almost gone. But when Zuo Xian Wang sent him the news that there was a chance to besiege Song Yuan, the high priest felt as if his whole body was infused with a strange power.
On that day, his originally weak body quickly recovered, as if he had been reborn!
After recovering, he is almost the same as a normal person except that his face is a little pale.
"If you ask me, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened to him!"
Compared to the high priest's surprise, Princess Luojia was much calmer.
"He always takes people by surprise. Only he has the courage to do such a thing!"
Faced with such an evaluation, the high priest beside him could not help but nod his head: "Indeed, this fellow has now demolished the city walls on both sides, which means that the border city that was originally surrounded on both sides has been given more vitality."
"If my guess is correct, he should be trying to take this opportunity to break out from all sides, right?"
The high priest expressed his expectations. As a smart man, he saw Song Yuan's intention in an instant.
But Luo Jia beside him just shook his head when he heard this: "If it were someone else, they might do so, but for him, I always feel that he would not do this!"
"What do you mean?" Facing Luo Jia's question, the high priest asked immediately.
The princess frowned secretly, and then she stated the reason for her speculation: "I have been with Song Yuan for a while before, and I have figured out his temper. He likes to take advantage, and he attaches great importance to this aspect!"
"According to his principles, even if he doesn't have any advantage, he absolutely cannot let others take advantage of him!"
"Now that we're breaking through from all sides, it seems like he has a few more chances to break through, but this guy will definitely not give up. Secretly, I'm afraid he's eager to tear a piece of flesh off our bodies!"
"Once he really does that, how can we let the scattered troops be lost in vain?"
"So I think that breaking out from all sides might just be a facade. This guy might have more plans behind the scenes!"
After hearing the last part, the high priest nodded and said, "Indeed, this kid hasn't reached a dead end yet. Destroying the walls by himself is definitely not his character!"
"If he did this in a few days, I could still understand it, but it's a bit too early now!" Luo Jia made the final decision.
The high priest nodded and asked, "Then Princess, what do you think we should do next?"
After a moment's thought, the princess quickly gave her answer: "We will immediately withdraw our forces and advance ten miles. While closing the distance between us, we will disperse our troops to both sides!"
"That way, even if we don't have any defenses on the east and west sides, we can immediately send out a large army to blockade them as soon as there's any sign of trouble!"
"Isn't that enough?"
The high priest suggested, "Should we send someone to notify Zuo Xian Wang's subordinates and have him lead the army to be on guard to prevent this guy from launching a frontal attack?"
Notify Zuo Xian Wang?
Hearing this, Luo Jia frowned slightly. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the forces of both sides are enemies.
Now the troops under Zuo Xian Wang are guarding the Peacock River.
Logically speaking, using Song Yuan's hand to consume the opponent's power is indeed an option!
Now that the three parties are in a stalemate, what matters is a balance. The Khan's subordinates have suffered too many losses, and it would be great if the Left Wise King could also pay a certain price.
This means that the power of both sides is completely equal!
It only took Luo Jia a moment to realize Bulma's intention, but after a little thought, he finally shook his head.
No matter what, Zuo Xian Wang's subordinates are still barbarians after all.
For Luojia, he can deal with Zuo Xian Wang without any burden.
But letting the barbarian warriors sacrifice in vain is definitely not a good option nowadays.
If there is anything, let’s deal with Song Yuan first!
Eliminate external troubles to solve internal problems.
Otherwise, wouldn't I become a despicable villain like those traitors of the Qin Dynasty?
After thinking about it, Luo Jia first shook his head, questioned the high priest's statement, and finally gave an order.
"Send someone to inform Zuo Xian Wang's subordinates. Just be on guard. I don't think there's any need to be too nervous!"
"If I were Song Yuan, I would definitely not act rashly. In such a situation, choosing to break through head-on is not the right move after all."
"Well... okay!" After noticing Princess Luojia's attitude, the high priest finally nodded after repeated hesitation.
He immediately took the order and left.
After watching his mentor leave, Luo Jia closed his eyes, and suddenly a series of thoughts popped up in his mind.
What exactly does Song Yuan want to do?
If I were in such a desperate situation, what methods would I try to break out?
Even though Luo Jia was absolutely confident that he could subdue Song Yuan, in his opinion, that man would never sit still and wait for death.
If Song Yuan gave up just like that, he probably wouldn't be called Song Yuan anymore!
Therefore, you need to know yourself and your enemy better!
As long as we can predict what Song Yuan is thinking, it will not be difficult to catch him.
Now, with such a great opportunity finally coming her way, Luo Jia, as a princess, naturally doesn't want everything to go to waste.
After a while, under tremendous pressure, Luo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up and his eyes, which had been closed, opened.
The biggest reason why Song Yuan has reached this point and has come up with all kinds of operations is probably that the catapult he mentioned has not yet arrived.
Indeed, without this powerful weapon, Song Yuan could at least protect himself.
However, since I can't guess what this guy is thinking, I might as well let the fire burn even more fiercely!
Making the current situation more chaotic might confuse his thinking.
To achieve this, Luo Jia immediately called the guards outside the tent and whispered, "Pass the order down, set up camp, and everyone pitch their tents together..."
……
Just as the barbarian army slowly moved forward and dispersed because of Luojia's order.
Song Yuan was already standing on the city wall, taking in every move of the barbarians.
In the distance, the barbarian army was advancing like a dark cloud covering the earth.
Song Yuan frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Standing at Song Yuan's height, he could see every move of the opponent. He saw clearly that the opposing army had opened its defense line.
From the original gathering together, they scattered to both sides.
"Spread out in a semicircle. Do you think this will stop the people rushing out from the east and west?"
Song Yuan murmured, revealing Luo Jia's true purpose.
Situ Jing nodded slightly. "That should be correct. You didn't seem to have thought that he would have this trick before. Will it have any impact on our future plans?"
Facing Situ Jing's worry, Song Yuan calmly shook his head: "This woman is indeed a bit cunning, but her little cleverness is nothing more than that in my opinion!"
"Haven't you noticed? While this arrangement provides defense on both the east and west sides, it also creates a fatal flaw!"
"What do you mean? There is no fatal flaw. How come I didn't see it?" Wei Da, who was standing by, looked a little confused when he heard Song Yuan say this.
He sounded a little naive while speaking, and reached out to scratch the back of his head.
The other generals were also confused when they heard Song Yuan's comments. Isn't it normal for the barbarian princess to act like this?
What are the fatal flaws?
Seeing everyone like this, Song Yuan couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, feeling a little disappointed.
However, he did not reveal the secret immediately, but looked at Huo Jianchuan and gave an encouraging look to this capable subordinate of his.
Huo Jianchuan smiled and took a step forward in response to Song Yuan's anticipation. "Your Highness's meaning is very simple. If we spread our troops out like a long snake, the radius of defense will increase. However, if we face an attack, it will be difficult to defend if the troops are too scattered!"
"Think about it, if we send troops to attack the left and right wings and they are attacked at the same time, which direction will those people in the middle think about going to rescue?"
After Huo Jianchuan asked this question, everyone finally reacted.
Indeed, how to rescue is definitely a difficult problem!
If you can't preserve both, no matter what choice you make, you will suffer losses.
Could this be the fatal flaw that Song Yuan mentioned?
Just as everyone was guessing, Song Yuan smiled and was the first to question.
"I think you're confused. With so few of us, you're still thinking of taking the initiative to attack?"
"Don't forget one thing: the barbarians have twice as many troops as us! With their numerical superiority, no matter which side we attack, we'll likely be counterattacked in the end."
"If they close in on us, not only will we suffer losses, but our ability to evacuate safely will be a major concern!"
"Your Highness is right. I forgot to consider the difference in military strength..." Huo Jianchuan scratched the back of his head with a bit of embarrassment when Song Yuan pointed out his shortcomings.
"Neither this nor that, so what exactly is the fatal question you are talking about?"
Seeing that Song Yuan had been talking for a long time but still didn't get to the point, the anxious Wei Da immediately urged: "My good brother, don't keep us in suspense and tell us quickly!"
Even Situ Jing stamped her feet anxiously: "Come on, tell me, you're always like this, can you please stop keeping me in suspense?"
"I tell you every time, but you never make any progress. Do you still want to continue like this?"
This time, Song Yuan made up his mind that he would never indulge these people again.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish.
What Song Yuan wants is to train each of his subordinates into elite soldiers and generals who can stand on their own. Now is the best opportunity for them to learn a lesson, how can he miss it!
"If you really want to know the answer, then go and see it yourself, think about it yourself, and guess it yourself!"
"Such a simple question, are you blind?"
"I'm going to make this clear today. You won't be able to guess who's weaker before dark, so you might as well skip dinner!"
Having said that, Song Yuan waved his sleeves and left.
After hearing what Song Yuan said, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.
Is it really that simple?
If it was really that simple, why couldn't so many people see it?
For a moment, everyone, including Murong Lie, held their breath and looked towards the barbarian stronghold.
But after a moment, Murong Lie was the first to react and a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Song Yuan standing in the distance, he shouted, "Prince, I understand!"
"According to you, can we drive back the enemy troops at the north gate tonight?"
No, what does this have to do with that?
It is obvious that we are the ones being besieged now!
General Murong, are you crazy?
How can we tell that we can force the enemy back tonight?
