v2 Chapter 1016: The second natural line of defense that must be overcome

The Lin family's sons were also excited in their cerebral cortex, and gathered around the sand table, waiting for further instructions.

"The nearest city to Yancheng is Zhuo County. The distance between the two places is only a hundred miles, and it will take two days to march quickly."

Second Uncle Lin looked at the sand table and frowned slightly: "However, there is a Wusha River between the two places. This river is fast-flowing and about a thousand meters wide. Without warships, it is difficult for an army to cross the river."

"The Wusha River is known as the natural moat."

Uncle Lin Wu added in a timely manner: "Long between Yancheng and Zhuo County, it is the second natural line of defense that must be conquered in the Northern Qi expedition."

"About a kilometer wide? We don't have warships, how can we cross the river?"

"Requisition the boats of Linjiang fishermen and transport the army."

"How many people can a fisherman's boat carry? One by one, it can't be finished in a month."

"Soldiers are expensive, and they must be transported by fishing boats."

"Then what should I do? You can't swim anyway, let's swim over?"

Uncle Lin Wu hadn't finished speaking, and there was an uproar in the big tent.

"Okay, stop talking, listen to my sister."

Lin Jinxu had a delicate mind. Seeing that the little sister was calm and composed from the beginning to the end, without showing a trace of anxiety, her mind was calm, and she secretly winked at her brothers.

The commotion stopped abruptly, and the elder brothers all focused their expectant eyes on the younger sister.

"The army took a short rest and set off in the middle of the night to Zhuo County."

Lin Qingluo was confident, and met the eager eyes of the seven brothers, and smiled confidently.

Zhuojun, the city lord's mansion.

"City Master, it's not good."

A general guarding the city was very worried, grasping the battle situation in front of him just received, and ran into the Lord Sheriff's study in a panic.

"Yucheng fell, General Yu died in battle, 80,000 frontier troops surrendered, and Zhuo County was in danger."

"What are you panicking about?"

The sheriff scolded impatiently, with a surge of hostility: "Increase the ambitions of others, and destroy your own prestige."

"Master Sheriff."

The general was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "The Lin family's army is brave and good at fighting. This time, they attacked Yancheng in just a few days and defeated 100,000 frontier troops. You must not be careless."

"What are you afraid of?"

The sheriff stared at him and scolded angrily: "The Wusha River is about a kilometer wide and the water is fast-flowing. It is an indestructible natural barrier. Without warships, no matter how brave and skilled the Lin family's army is, they can't even think about crossing the river."

"Just one river cannot alleviate the current predicament."

The general felt sad: "Master Sheriff, it is better to make preparations early."

"What preparations?"

The county guard straightened his back and said righteous words: "Could it be that you want to encourage the county guard to flee in battle, abandoning the tens of thousands of people in Zhuo County, and escape alone."

"My lord, this subordinate doesn't mean that."

The corner of the general's mouth was bitter, and he tried to persuade: "Zhuo County's defense force is weak, and there are only 20,000 soldiers defending the city. How can it fight against the 200,000 Lin family army? Defend and defend against the enemy together."

"Which of the ten cities in the north has a garrison camp with more than 20,000 people?"

The sheriff stared at him for a moment, then sneered, his eyes sneering: "The enemy is at present, and people's hearts are not old. It's too late for them to hide. How can they send troops to support them?"

"Master Sheriff."

The general's eyelids drooped slightly, showing a look of determination: "Pei Yan is not talented, and he is willing to share your worries for the adults, and go to Youdu to ask for help."

"you?"

The sheriff narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him faintly, sighed for a moment, and waved his hand to signal him to back off: "Forget it, you can go if you want."
