"It's rare for the lord and lady to get along for so long now, so tell me if there's anything you want." Duan Xiaohan stopped Chen Zhuang, who was about to find Lu Zhan.

"That's not good, you're in charge of intelligence and assassination, and I'm in charge of the military. If I report to you, then you will become my boss. Chen Zhuang made a joke about Duan Xiaohan.

Duan Xiaohan scratched his head and asked, "General Chen, let's tell me what happened."

"Then I'll tell you first, this Jin army has advanced less than thirty miles outside Yanzhou City. The leading scouts have arrived outside Yanzhou City, and I also sent a team of scouts to investigate, but I see that the main force of the Jin Kingdom has come. ”

After Duan Xiaohan chatted with Chen Zhuang for a few words, Chen Zhuang left under the pretext of arranging the city defense.

And Lu Zhan and Jing Nianshuang, who were in love in the courtyard, forgot the time when they chatted, and they didn't know it when it was dark.

"Shuang'er, I see it's not early, let's rest after eating." With that, Lu Zhan got up and prepared to leave.

Lu Zhan, who had already gotten up and was about to go out, suddenly felt that his sleeves were pulled, and it was Jing Nianshuang who was pulling the sleeves. "Lu Lang should pay more attention to rest."

"Well, it's just that I've been busy these days."

Walking out of the courtyard, Lu Zhan found Duan Xiaohan waiting at the door for a long time, "Xiaohan, is there something wrong with you coming over?" ”

After Duan Xiaohan told Lu Zhan what Chen Zhuang said, Lu Zhan almost didn't kick Duan Xiaohan, blaming him for not being able to carry out official and private affairs. This Jin army has been beaten until his eyelids are lowered, and he still takes care of the private affairs of his children.

However, in this era, as the lord, he is indeed not something that can be disturbed casually, and after thinking so, Lu Zhan forgave Duan Xiaohan.

At present, he should go to the official office to discuss the battle situation, and took Duan Xiaohan to the official office with a whip.

When Chen Zhuang was sorting out the military newspaper in front of him, he immediately hurriedly saluted when he saw Lu Zhan coming.

"This Jin army should be camped outside the city." Lu Zhan sat in his position and asked Chen Zhuang.

Chen Zhuang pointed to the position marking the Jin army camp on the sand table with his saber and said: "Lord, I think how about going out of the city to attack the Jin army camp now, taking advantage of the night and the fatigue and bumps of the road. Nine times out of ten, tonight's night raid will be successful. ”

According to Chen Zhuang, the success rate of tonight's night attack is indeed very high. But if you can think of it, the enemy should think of it too. In the art of war, it is said that you will attack the enemy unprepared, and if you want to launch a night attack now, you may be in the hands of the enemy.

Besides, the Jin army has suffered a lot of losses recently, and it must have been prepared now. Even if it was to give up so many walled cities before, it was not enough to dispel the Jin army's current vigilance against Yanzhou.

After careful consideration, Lu Zhan still gave up tonight's night attack on the Jin army camp outside the city.

The Jin army camp outside the city looks like a sparse sentry post, but in fact it is tight inside and loose outside. The already tired soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were bored guarding the long night.

"What do you think this chief is trying to do? Not sleeping so late allows us to guard against the night attack of the Yanzhou army. A soldier yawned and asked his companion beside him.

"It's not, this Lu Zhan is rumored to be the same as the soldiers and immortals in the world and Wuqu Xing descending to the mortals, how can the immortals who come down from this sky be predictable by mortals like us."

"What kind of immortals descend to earth, I think even if the real immortals come, they can't win against us. We now have several times more people than the Yanzhou Army. ”

"Don't say it, the elite of the Jingsai cavalry is so powerful that it has collapsed in Luolong Ridge."

The people who were originally sleepy were chatting more and more, and the fatigue of the original days of rushing was now forgotten. The officers on the side didn't want to interrupt the conversation of the soldiers, after all, the officers were also tired from the journey for days. It was also very interesting to listen to the soldiers bragging to each other.

Seeing that there was no movement at the gate of Yanzhou, Zhiyu said to the strategist beside him who was shouldering the responsibility of a military advisor: "It seems that Yanzhou will not send people to attack tonight. Tell the brothers that they can rest, after all, they have been on the road for so many days and staying up all night to stay. ”

"The subordinates will give the order, but it's strange that this Lu Zhan didn't come out tonight to attack at night." The military advisor touched his beard and said.

"It's really strange tonight, this Lu Zhan doesn't come with such a big bargain on weekdays. Did this Lu Zhan know in advance that we were preparing for an ambush? ”

Hearing the order to rest from above, the soldiers ran to their tents and lay down on their marching beds. Some of the soldiers were so sleepy that they dozed off without even taking off their armor.

The night was extraordinarily quiet.

As soon as the sun rose, the Jin soldiers outside the city set up siege ladders and pushed the cart to attack the Yanzhou city wall. Archers on both sides fired a rain of arrows to suppress each other.

In addition to the usual siege methods, this young master of the Zhi family, Zhiyu, actually learned Lu Zhan's previous tactics in the capital, and began to build an earthen mountain outside Yanzhou City, it seems that it will not be long before this earthen mountain will be built to be about the same height as the city wall.

Lu Zhan, who was on the city wall, saw the slowly building dirt mountain from the gap in the shield and thought to himself: Now I am lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot, and the speed of learning is very fast. The question now is how to deal with Tsuchiyama.

The trebuchet could destroy some of the dirt mountains, but as long as the Jin army was willing to continue to build, the stones used for throwing on their side would not last long. However, you can also raise the walls to deal with the earth mountain, and you can erect a wooden wall on the top of the city to make it even higher than the earth mountain.

"Lord, this wise family learns quite quickly, how should we deal with this method of attacking the city?" Chen Zhuang looked at the familiar earth and mountain outside Yanzhou City and said worriedly to the landing exhibition.

"Don't panic, I already have a plan, let's go and prepare to deal with this dirt mountain. After the Jin army's offensive gradually declines, you can start a counteroffensive, and what I am best at except surprise attacks is defensive counterattacks. Lu Zhan walked down the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall picked up their spears and stabbed at the Jin soldiers who were climbing, and the first archers on both sides were a little exhausted, and after the second group of archers, the two sides began to fire again.

Since ancient times, sieges have been carried out, and the tall and sturdy walls combined with the resistance of the defenders often inflict great casualties on the attackers. Street fighting in the city in modern warfare is also extremely difficult.

"How long do you think it will take for this Yanzhou City to be defeated?" Ji-woo asked the military advisor beside him.。。

"This Yanzhou is a city with a large population, and siege is often the best way, but what we lack now is time, and those old guys who have bad intentions towards our family are always ready to take action against the Zhi family."

"So we have to take Yanzhou as soon as possible to prevent those families from officially declaring war on our Zhijia on the surface. We don't have much time, I don't have much time, and I can't afford to lose the Jingsai cavalry. Zhiyu looked worriedly at where the Northern Zhijia was.
