Chapter 998

All of a sudden, Huangfu Chaobo thought of a thing, that is, the assembly line in reality, and asked: "can't you let all the folk men stand in the same place, let them row from the place you dug to the tunnel entrance, and then let them hand out bags of clay one by one? It saves all the people walking around in the tunnel, and the logs transported in can also be operated in this way. "

Huangfu Chaobo's words shocked both of them, and they all responded quickly, saying: "Lord, this method is feasible. If people walk back and forth in the tunnel, they will easily get tired, so the speed will also drop quickly. If they just stand in the same place to deliver soil and logs, it will save much more effort than before."

"Yes, sir, if that's the case, I'm sure the tunnel excavation time will be shortened by at least two to three days." Dugu Tian also said.

"Shorten the time of two to three days, that is to say, seven days or so," Guo Jia said

Huangfu Chaobo understood what Guo Jia meant. Seven or eight days later, the battle in Yuzhou should have started. According to the prior arrangement, the two armies of Huang Zhong would attack Qiao County, the county city of Qiao County, as soon as the battle started. Seven or eight days later, the battle in Qiao County had already started for several days. Moreover, with seven or eight days, Cao Cao's reinforcements should also come near Dingtao.

"Well, the camp will be moved early tomorrow morning. Ben will personally lead the army to camp in Beicheng. After Zhang Ying's army arrives, all the ten thousand people will be in place. You two go back to camp first and have a rest. " Huangfu Chaobo asked Dugu ba for help.

"there's one more thing not going to happen, please agree!" Dugu Ba knelt down and asked,

"say it!"

"Please send someone to say goodbye, brother, for the way of transporting the earth and wood!"

Huangfu Chaobo suddenly realized that Dugu Xiong would have to dig a tunnel to attack Qiao County. He really should tell him that. So he nodded and said, "don't worry, I will arrange Shi a to tell you this method right away."

They just saluted and left.

Early the next morning, huyandu received news from the troopers who had been on patrol. The army of Zhang Ying's department had arrived 30 miles north of Dingtao. Huangfu Chaobo then ordered the guards, five thousand guards and five thousand men to leave the camp and move toward five miles north of Dingtao. He was going to camp there where Dugu BA was going to dig. He just wrapped the tunnel in the camp to reduce the chance of being discovered by Cao Cao's army.

At the head of Dingtao City, the movement of the eastern army outside the city startled the soldiers. Immediately someone reported the situation to the Supreme Commander Ren Jun. In a short time, Ren Jun was escorted by his own guards and boarded the city.

Looking at the forty or fifty thousand troops of the eastern expedition going to the north, Ren Jun led several generals around him: "general, what do you think of the division of the eastern expedition?"

The generals around Ren Jun are the main generals in Dingtao city. They are Chen Wu, the main general in Shanyang army, Xue Hong, the main general in Cao Cao army, Xie Cheng, the main general in Dingtao City, and Ren Fu, the main general in Ren Jun's headquarters. The prefects have different numbers of elite Chinese soldiers. Their main generals are generally the most trusted relatives or subordinates. For example, Chen Wu of Shanyang army is the younger brother of Chen Qun, the prefect of Shanyang army, and the chief General of Jiyin army is also a nephew of Ren Jun himself.

Hearing Ren Jun's inquiry, Xue Hong said: "in the view of the last general, it should be that Zhang Ying's army is about to arrive, and the eastern army is ready to divide its forces to attack the city."

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement. After the army arrived in Dingtao, the Chihou in Dingtao city could no longer move outside. They could only infer from their own experience through some details.

"Yes, in this way, Dingtao city will face the attack of nearly 200000 troops of the eastern expeditionary army. You should know what the Lord means. He hopes that we can drag the main force of the eastern expeditionary army under Dingtao city as much as possible, so the next war will not be too easy. However, you can rest assured that the Lord's army will arrive soon. When the veterans of the Zhengdong army are tired, they will attack the Zhengdong army. At that time, if we cooperate with each other, we will be able to defeat the Zhengdong army! " Ren Jun nodded his head;

"from now on, general Xie, the defense at the head of the city will be handed over to the soldiers of the prefectures. The south city only needs to arrange 1000 soldiers for defense, and the other three walls each need to arrange 3000 soldiers for defense. General Xie is in charge of the western city wall, and he also asks general Xue to send 5000 backbone battalions to the western city for support. General Xue personally leads 5000 backbone battalions and 3000 prefectures and soldiers to take charge of the northern city, General Chen leads 5000 Shanyang army and 3000 prefectures and soldiers to take charge of the eastern city, and his own prefect personally leads 5000 Jiyin army to coordinate in the middle, ready to support you at any time. "

"The end will take orders!" All of you, let's tell the officers and men that it's in the present day to make contributions. It's a great achievement for us to stick to this war for a month. If we can cooperate with the Lord's army and defeat the East army, it's a great achievement. The Lord will not reward us for both of them

"Don't worry, your highness. The Lord's reward will be decided." Xue Hong said with a smile;

all the people on the scene looked at each other and laughed, full of confidence. If 30000 troops defend the fortified city for a month, everyone would have such confidence.

Sure enough, when the messenger sent Ren Jun's order to all the soldiers in the city, the cheers of the soldiers became one.The cheers in the city resounded through the sky, and the soldiers of the eastern expedition outside the city could hear them faintly. However, for Huangfu Chaobo people, it was only a matter of time to break through the city. What we have to do now is how to break down the city as soon as possible while reducing the loss of the army.

Soon after, the army of the eastern expedition arrived at the appointed place, and Huangfu Chaobo ordered the army to set up camp. After two hours, five thousand people set up the North Camp. By this time, Zhang Ying's army had already arrived near Beiying.

Zhang Ying ordered a temporary rest outside the camp. He led several generals to the camp to meet Huangfu Chaobo.

"At the end of the day, general Zhang Ying meets the Lord!"

"General Zhang, please get up!" Huangfu Chaobo lifted him up and said, "is the army going well all the way?"

"Back to the Lord, there is nothing unusual all the way."

Huangfu Chaobo called all the generals of Zhang Ying's department to the map, told them about the war arrangement, and then ordered them to lead the army to the east of Dingtao.

After Zhang Ying's generals heard this, Lian said: "Lord, let the last general be in charge of the main attack. The last general needs ten thousand soldiers and ten thousand guards. The rest of the troops are led by the Lord to the East camp. At the time of the boundary, the last general leads the halberds to attack the city from the tunnel and will surely be able to break through the city."
