Chapter 226 All Executed!
In the evening, Zhao Tai sent people to torture the prisoners severely to extract confessions. Although many of them had tough words, there were also a few weaklings who, after a little torture, the prisoners confessed all the information they knew.
Fortunately, Zhao Tai had quarantined the soldiers who had recovered from treatment in advance, because the other party did not know the true situation of Dazhou, and even still believed that the soldiers of Dazhou were still drinking iceberg water from the river, causing the number of sick soldiers to increase day by day.
In addition, the other party also provided an important clue. A week later, Mobei will launch a general attack on Dazhou, hoping to catch them all and seize Beihuang City, the first city in the north.
When they appeared this time, in addition to investigating the situation inside the Great Zhou Camp, they also observed the surrounding terrain in advance to find favorable terrain suitable for attack.
In the execution room, Gu Chen glanced at the several Mobei soldiers who were covered in bruises, turned to look at Zhao Tai next to him, and whispered: "General Zhao, what are you going to do with these Mobei soldiers?"
Zhao Tai whispered: "Of course I will execute them all and then throw them back."
This group of people must be survey soldiers sent by Mobei. If they cannot go back, they will definitely arouse suspicion from above.
Therefore, Zhao Tai could only kill them all and then throw them on the plain not far from the camp. At that time, even if the other party comes to find them, they still don’t know if they have obtained the information.
In order not to let the other side know that these soldiers had been captured, when they used torture just now, they also chose the palms or legs. There were no traces of whipping on their bodies, so as not to be discovered.
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded.
He and Zhao Tai had the same idea.
No matter whether Mobei would suspect it or not, this group of Mobei people definitely couldn't die in the military camp, and they couldn't disappear without any reason.
....
After interrogating the punishment room, Zhao Tai immediately invited all the generals to the camp to discuss countermeasures.
For Zhao Tai, Mobei's actions were indeed too fast. Just over a month after the battle at Kuncangshan, the opponent dared to launch a general offensive.
Judging from Dazhou's current military strength, it is indeed not suitable for a tough fight with the opponent.
Immediately, Zhao Tai looked at everyone and whispered: "Mobei plans to launch a general attack, and this battle is inevitable. However, the reason why Mobei dared to be so decisive was because he believed that the soldiers in our battalion had been suffering from illness and their strength was greatly reduced. Now I’m calling everyone here to discuss how to deal with the enemy next.”
Yang Wu said with a serious face: "We have more than 600,000 troops and horses, and Mobei has 900,000. In terms of troops and horses, we are 300,000 behind the other side. This battle... is not easy to fight!"
In a single strength fight, Da Zhou would definitely not be Mobei's opponent. Even if they were lucky enough to win, Da Zhou's losses would be immeasurable.
"I don't think so. Now we have a general grasp of the situation in Mobei, but the other party is completely unsure of our situation. Although the time is a bit short, as long as we arrange everything in advance, we are not without conditions for a battle. ." Gu Tianming interrupted.
Zhao Tai looked at him and asked: "Sixth Prince, tell me your opinion."
"Trapped in Cangshan!"
Then, Gu Tianming explained: "If you want to defeat more with less, you must not face a head-on confrontation. You must consider ambush operations. However, there are mostly plain areas between the two armies' camps, which is not conducive to ambushes. There is only a canyon in Kuecang Mountain. , can be used as an advantageous position for us!"
"When Mobei actually attacks, we can ambush in Kuncang Mountain in advance to consume the opponent's troops."
For him, Da Zhou did not need to defeat Mobei.
As long as they can contain the opponent and prevent them from launching a general attack on Dazhou, they will not be considered a losers if they continue to make detours.
After listening to Gu Tianming's explanation, Gu Chen withdrew his gaze and thought for a moment.
What the other party said was right. Kuancang Mountain was the only place to go from Mobei to the Da Zhou military camp. If an ambush was set up here, it would indeed play a certain role.
At least to a certain extent, it can reduce the opponent's military strength.
But in such an important position, Gu Chen was worried that the opponent had already taken precautions. In this case, the method Gu Tianming mentioned has no meaning.
To be on the safe side, you still have to think of other ways to deal with it.
At this time, Zhao Tai asked the other generals: "Do you have any other opinions?"
Yang Wu and the other generals immediately lowered their heads and thought carefully about possible countermeasures.
Seeing that there was no word, Gu Yongyi stood up and said: "I think Gu Tianming is right. We can indeed consider setting up an ambush in Kuecang Mountain."
He had been present at the previous battle at Kuncang Mountain. If he and Gu Tianming hadn't ambushed the team on the mountain and shot arrows to clear the way for the team, everyone might have perished there.
Therefore, when Gu Tianming mentioned Kuncangshan, he strongly agreed with this suggestion.
Seeing that no one continued to speak, Zhao Tai said slowly: "Just now we captured a group of Mobei soldiers near the military camp. I think the road conditions from Mobei to the Dazhou Military Camp were almost surveyed. And trapped Cangshan is close to the Mobei Camp, and if we set up an ambush here, it would be difficult for us to avoid being noticed by the other party."
After listening to Zhao Tai's explanation, Gu Tianming hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The general is right. I didn't think carefully."
Gu Yongyi also shut his mouth immediately, not knowing how to answer.
....
In the Mobei camp, He Lianqing narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the soldier below, "Have you found the eight soldiers sent out?"
The soldier knelt on the ground and said, "We found them. All eight of them were killed. People from Da Zhou must have discovered them."
"Just killed?"
"That's right, every soldier had wounds from swords and arrows, and then he was killed by a single blow and stabbed in the heart. Only one of them was directly beheaded."
He Lianqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Bring the person up and show me."
"yes."
The soldier bowed his head in response, and then immediately walked out of the military camp.
Ten minutes later, a cart was pushed in, with eight corpses lying on it.
He Lianqing quickly stood up from his seat and walked straight towards the cart. Then he stretched out his right hand and said to the soldier next to him: "Give me the knife."
The soldier did not dare to neglect, and immediately took out his scimitar from his waist and gave it to the opponent.
After He Lianqing took it, he directly took off the other party's clothes and carefully observed the other party's naked body. Except for knife wounds and arrow wounds, he saw no traces of being whipped.
So, he checked the second one, the third one...
After reading five, He Lianqing stopped and returned the scimitar to the opponent, "Take them down!"
"yes."
After the soldiers left, He Lianqing sat back on his seat and gently rubbed his eyes.
There is only one week left to launch the attack on Mobei, and there cannot be any mistakes at this time. Fortunately, these soldiers only had stab wounds on their bodies, so they probably weren't captured and no secrets were revealed.
Now the whole of Mobei is decided by the queen. Only by winning the next battle can he make the queen fully recognize his ability and leave the southward expedition plan to him.
As for his seventh brother Helianyao, he never took it seriously...
