After the Zhijia scouts outside Qinzhou City discovered the actions of the Yanzhou Army, they immediately passed the news of Lu Zhan's invasion of the territory.

Everyone knows that this Qinzhou will determine the direction of the southern part of Zhijia. If the young master Zhiyu can hold Qinzhou City, then I don't know how long the confrontation between the two sides will last.

If the combined forces of Lu Zhan and the Zhao family can conquer Qinzhou, the southern Dawangqi will probably change completely. Even if there are still loyal servants of the Zhi family who can continue to hold on to some of the land, it will have no impact on the overall situation.

"In front of General Chen is the last stronghold on the outskirts of Qinzhou, and this walled city built on the mountain is not so easy to take. There is water in the mountains and there is abundant food and grass, so how can we pull out the nails of this wise family? "This kind of defensive fortress formed by relying on the mountains is really a one-man fortress.

"Of course, it was to blast open the city gates with cannons, and let the soldiers rush forward with shields in their hands, against rolling logs, stones, and a rain of arrows." If it had been placed in the past, Chen Zhuang would definitely select soldiers who were good at rock climbing to attack from the cliff, open the city gate, and then command the army to kill it.

At the beginning, Lu Zhanli set up a mountain battalion in this army, which was used to cross the mountains and forests and seize the defensive lines formed by danger.

"The way of war is always changing, and I was wondering if you would be uncomfortable with the use of artillery."

"I'm not an old man in my seventies or eighties, as long as this weapon is useful, I will go to school"

Compared with Lu Zhan and Chen Zhuang's leisurely chat, the situation in Qinzhou City is not optimistic. First, the initiative failed to attack, and the soldiers from this Yecheng were also released to defend the city.

Although they were released, they were not allowed to take up any weapons, and were only allowed to do some of the work that the auxiliaries should do. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, it would be impossible for these soldiers from Yecheng to be released. If the weapons are returned to these soldiers from Yecheng, they may not be able to wait until the Yanzhou army arrives and directly open the city gate to welcome the king.

"Everyone, what should we do, there are only more than 20,000 people in Qinzhou at present, and this Lu Zhan and the weapons that are rumored to be called artillery have also been brought over by Lu Zhan. According to the information from the Song Kingdom before, the sound of the cannon firing was like thunder, and a solid large iron ball directly plowed a bloody path in the crowd. It is estimated that the city gate of Qinzhou will not be able to bear it. ”

Zhiyu looked at the many frustrated generals in front of him with a dead face, no matter how this Zhiyu family looks, they are about to enter the end of the road now. It is estimated that Qinzhou will be difficult to hold nine times out of ten.

"It's better to block the four city gates in Qinzhou, although we can't go out to fight back, this city gate will definitely be able to be kept and not lost." An old civil official stood up, he used to be an official in a city in the north when the Hu people moved south, this city did not have many defenders, I thought that the city would be broken and the people died, the general who defended the city blocked the city gate for more than two months.

This move to block the city gate defense was tried and tested in the city defense battle, when Yuan Chonghuan was victorious in Ningyuan, he blocked the four gates to make it difficult for the Qing army to break the city.

"This Mr. Chi is good, this will block the city gate, even if the Yanzhou army can climb to the top of the city, there will not be many people, as long as a wave of counterattack can beat them back."

"We seconded the proposal, and only by blocking the four gates can we avoid the scourge of the war."

The generals below were willing to use the tactics of holding the door behind closed doors, and in their opinion, going out of the city to face the battle would be a dead end.

"I object, after blocking the four gates, it is like withdrawing and can't do it, and the turtle can only deal with those Hu people who are not good at attacking the city, although the Yanzhou army has not been in the army for a long time, but the ability to attack the city and pull out the village is obvious to everyone, not to mention that the Yanzhou army still has a lot of mountain people." A big man stood up, although he had gauze wrapped around his shoulders, it did not affect the fierce temperament of this big man in the slightest.

"What are you? Do not block the gates. Could it be that they want to send an army out to fight guerrilla warfare, and if they do not have enough troops, they will not fight in the city and die? ”

"General Han wants to go to you, so General Ben doesn't want to take his subordinates to die."

The generals at this bottom don't want to take the soldiers out to die, there is no hope of winning when they go out to fight, their subordinates are the capital of their own lives, and there is no power without soldiers in their hands. If you lose all your old foundations, your own general will be in name only.

"Shut up! General Han continued. Zhiyu saw that the generals who refuted the words looked afraid of death, and couldn't help but shoot the case.

Seeing that his young master was angry, the generals who spoke out against it all shut up, and General Han, who threatened to go out of the city to fight, continued: "Although the firearms of this Yanzhou army are powerful, they will definitely not shoot on mobile It is rumored that those artillery guns have a longer firing interval than muskets every time, and if we have been cowering in the city, this wall will be broken sooner or later."

Only by sending a sharp army out of the city to harass the Yanzhou army, the Yanzhou army had to divide its troops to deal with this guerrilla force. But this is a very risky task, the people in the city wall still have the city wall to rely on, but the people outside the city are going to have a face-to-face, iron and blood confrontation with the Yanzhou army.

"I'm afraid it's hard for me to do this out of the city. This... If the last general didn't see it, he let General Han lead his troops out of the city. As soon as these words came out, the surrounding generals quickly echoed them, after all, he came up with the idea, and it was best to leave this glorious and dangerous job to General Han.

"yes, yes. This General Han is the best choice whether it is wisdom or bravery. ”

"We also think that this General Han is the best choice."

Seeing that all the generals were avoiding, General Han smiled coldly. "Since your colleagues can afford Han, the young master, I ask to fight, and the last general will definitely do his best to prevent Lu Zhan from besieging Qinzhou."

Zhiyu nodded, stood up and walked to General Han's side and patted his shoulder, "The safety of Qinzhou is related to General Han, looking forward to the day of triumph and drinking with Jun." The elite soldiers in Qinzhou City were selected by General Han. ”

"The last general will certainly live up to his mission."

After the meeting, Zhiyu's strategists asked Zhiyu, "Young master, this General Han has to make sense, but the courage to fight out of the city is commendable, but it is estimated that there is no chance of victory." ”

"So after Han Xuan left the city, immediately block the four gates, if Han Xuan wins, it's best, if he loses, this ......"

"The subordinates understand that Ci is not in charge of the troops. Even if General Han's entire army is wiped out here, this Qinzhou city can still be defended. ”

This Zhiyu didn't plan to let Han Xuan come back, this dead city gate was the best way.

Originally, according to Han Xuan's plan, if the battle failed, he could retreat to the city, and if he won the battle, the defenders in the city could also take advantage of the victory to pursue.
