"Your Highness, attack the city!" A general stood up and said indignantly.
Immediately someone echoed: "yes, we lost half of the battle if Chuzhou City was occupied. If we don't get it back, the morale of the officers and soldiers will not rise. Without a stable rear, the next war will not be easy to fight."
"What's more, the people in Chuzhou still don't know what will happen. In case the enemy troops slaughter the city, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Prince Zhao patted the table, and the crowd shut their mouths and waited for him to speak.
"Of course, Chuzhou is going to be recaptured, but seizing the city is not a matter of mouth, it depends on strength. It's useful to say something."
People are silent, you see me, I see you, can not give very useful advice.
The great disparity between the enemy's and our own forces, together with the fact that they are the attacking side, is too obvious.
Prince Zhao pointed to a location on the map and said, "tomorrow at Yinshi, General Wang will lead 30000 people to this location and set up an ambush. Is it possible to do so?"
Wang Dingjun was suddenly ordered to the name, reaction for a while before he got up and nodded, "I swear to finish the task!"
People's eyes fall on the map according to the location, some people doubt why, but they don't dare to ask, just want to wait until they go out.
Prince Zhao swept around, and he was clear in his heart, "at midnight tonight, the rest of the men and horses attacked Chuzhou. Chuzhou is an important border city in the Southern Jin Dynasty. It is impossible that there is no emergency measure. General Hu selects 10000 soldiers as the vanguard and is ready to be ordered at any time."
"Here it is." Hu Jinpeng slowly breathed out a breath. Only he and Wang Dingjun are the confidants of his highness. The same, the most arduous task must be given to them.
Facing the envious eyes of all, Hu Jinpeng went to Prince Zhao and explained for him: "the place where General Wang laid his ambush will be on the enemy's return journey. There is a natural cliff in this place. People should stick to the cliff one by one through intelligence, which is the most difficult place on this road."
"I dare to ask General Hu, how did you know that the enemy troops would pass through here?" Some people can't help but ask questions in their hearts.
"Naturally Guess
"It's not right. If you guess wrong, don't you gamble on the lives of the officers and men?"
Hu Jinpeng ignored the people's voice of regret, and said aloud: "the use of military is based on boldness and carefulness. Although it's a guess, it's not groundless. As long as you get the next intelligence, you'll know right and wrong."
"At the end of the war, there is one more thing unknown. Since this is a cliff and only one person can pass through, where will our army set up an ambush?" Many people know about that road, but they seldom think about it because it is called natural danger by the people of Southern Jin Dynasty.
Natural danger is no better than the canyon. It's not easy to defend and hard to attack if you occupy it. It's not a good place to use.
"This is general Wang's skill." Hu Jinpeng and Wang Dingjun exchanged a look, and did not continue to entangle in this issue.
Although the rest of the people wanted to ask, they couldn't ask Wang Dingjun's appearance of being so careless and wandering in the sky.
Only in this way, for tonight's siege, we have no bottom in mind.
"Your Highness, is it too risky?"
"Is war not risky?" Prince Zhao waved his hand, "go back and get ready. The logistics team will continue to stay here. The kitchen will make everyone a piece of dry food that is easy to carry. All logistics will not be taken."
"Well What about military doctors? " Someone asked in a low voice. It's OK to eat. If you take dry food, you can cope with it for a day or two. But if you don't get medical treatment, you will die.
In addition, there are hundreds of military doctors from the prince's highness. The team is stronger than ever. It is said that they are all the disciples of the prince's concubine. The level is not ordinary.
"Gu Hui ordered the military doctors to prepare the commonly used medicines for everyone. They are all veterans. Can't they even bandage and stop bleeding?"
Everyone blushed and nodded to promise. In fact, in the past, when the medical conditions were worse, they all came here like this. They were cut and wound, wrapped up with cloth strips, stabbed themselves, and poured medicine powder on them. It was not so delicate.
However, in that case, the death rate will be greatly increased. Many soldiers died because of improper treatment.
Prince Zhao doesn't want to increase such sacrifice, but he can't tolerate his hesitation this time. The fighters are changing rapidly. Their attack must be fast and fierce. If they bring too many teams without combat effectiveness, they will certainly slow down their speed. This is not the result he wants to see.
After they leave, they go to prepare. As for the worries in their hearts, they can only hide them deeply. Even the prince risks with them. What else can they complain about?
At sunset, the gate of Chuzhou City suddenly opened, and a pair of elite generals went out of the city in an orderly manner and left the city before nightfall.
The people in the city are hiding in their homes, listening to the sound of the vast and far away, do not know whether to be relieved or to be worried.
They are glad that after the enemy entered the city, in addition to taking the grain from the granary and weapons in the weapon storehouse, they killed the officials of the government, and did nothing extraordinary to ordinary people.Perhaps in the eyes of the North Vietnamese, when they beat down the Southern Jin Dynasty, the people here will also be their subjects, and they will not disdain to kill their future subjects.
In the city, only 50000 North Vietnamese soldiers were staying. They were eating meat and drinking a lot. It seemed that they didn't care whether the troops of the Southern Jin Dynasty would come to the city.
"Ha ha If we win this battle again, we will be able to conquer the Southern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop and become a great meritorious official forever! "
"Hey, we have strong troops in North Vietnam. Three of them are beaten by one person, and ten horses are ordered by one horse. What are they fighting us for?"
"Not necessarily. Have you heard about what happened in the southwest?"
"You mean general Dou led 50000 troops to support Southwest China, and half of them were killed?"
Everyone met with a look, with a trace of surprise.
"Hey, if you want me to tell you, it must be that Dou Yichao was incompetent. He was beaten up by tens of thousands of people in the Southern Jin Dynasty. It really disgraced the face of our North Vietnamese people."
"It's not that the morale was destroyed by the sudden appearance of ten thousand cavalry, and it is said that there are some evil sects in those ten thousand cavalry."
"What do you say?"
"It's said that they come and go without a trace. They are like ghosts suddenly emerging. They are covered in black armor from head to foot, with a ferocious mask on their faces. Even the mount under their crotch is completely black. If they are wrapped in a layer of iron armor, they can't be pierced by weapons."
"Is it so amazing?"
"We didn't see it with our own eyes, it was just hearsay."
"In my opinion, 80% of them are false news made up by the losers. Maybe the cavalry is true, but it's not as terrible as they said. Don't you think, the people in Southern Jin are short and weak, and their horses are weak horses. They can't bear heavy armour. Even if they wear them, they have to move. Ha ha "Ha ha It's true. If they dare to come, we can see whether they are evil or devious, or paper tigers that are punctured! "Come on, cheer up when you've had enough to eat and drink. The news has been released. It's impossible for the group of counsellors in the Southern Jin Dynasty to give up this great opportunity to attack. Don't lose the city of Chuzhou. You can't face the old Jiangdong when you go back!"
"Damn it, if we can lose, we can all take off our pants and jump into the river!"
"Bang!" One of them broke the wine jar, wiped his lips, and yelled, "let them have a try! Lao Tzu's weapons are not stained with blood yet! Ha ha... "
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The public laughter echoed in the city of Chuzhou, and the people shook their heads in secret. Seeing the momentum, it was difficult for the Southern Jin army to seize the city.
Although the city belongs to the Southern Jin Dynasty or the North Vietnam as long as it does not endanger their lives, they still like the benevolence of his Highness the prince. They have had a better life these years. They really don't want to go back to the past.
In the noisy night, one by one, the dark shadows flit across the remote streets. They sneak into the houses, appear in the low voice of the owners, tell their identity and intention, and then quietly climb over the wall and enter another residential building.
But in the valley not far from the city, it was very quiet. All the soldiers were taking time to rest. Only the campfire crackled in the cold night.
When the time came, the officers and men were ready to go and stood in the dark.
"The first world war tonight is not only to recapture the city of Chuzhou, but also to recapture our faces and dignity! Win
"Win "Win!"
"Good! set out! Target Chuzhou City
The army pulled out, leaving only a few unarmed logistics personnel in the valley. They stood at the exit of the camp, looking at the far away team and secretly cheering them on.
"Young master, do you think they can win?" A medicine boy said hello to Xiang.
Xiang an curled his lips. "Isn't that nonsense? I don't want to see who is in charge? Why worry too much when your highness is here? "
As for Shigong, Xiang an has no reservation in trusting him. Besides, he has seen the powerful black armour guards. Let's have a good time with the bunnies in North Vietnam.
