The offensive and defensive battle in Chizhou has continued until now, and Wang Xiu has hardly spoken in the camp, silent, and his face is very gloomy.

Theoretically, it is very well prepared for this war. There's no reason to give up easily, there's no reason to lose easily.

For the time being, there is indeed no sign of a turnaround between the official and military forces, but unfortunately there are more and more unfavorable signals. None of the people with the pill are alive, and this Nima is the biggest problem.

Zhao Cheng's eighty people were able to withstand the eighth day under the continuous harassment and fatigue tactics. Why they don't need to take turns to sleep, Wang Xiu can't figure it out.

No one knows how much explosives and fierce fire oil Zhao Cheng still has.

The previous tug-of-war had won and lost each other, Wang Xiu knew that his losses were not light, and now there were still three rushing vehicles left that he did not dare to use easily. Otherwise, there is even less hope of breaking the city in the dead of winter.

The most terrible thing is that Wang Xiu had a hunch that Bai Agarwood would take the risk of robbing the grain road. This was fishing, so Wang Xiu specially increased the frequency of grain transportation, reduced the amount of grain transported at a time, and set up ambushes in the three local areas between Yongfeng Jian and Lingzhi Mountain, which were most likely to be intercepted.

The distance between Chizhou and Lingzhi Mountain determines that the depth of this tactic is very small, as long as Bai Agarwood fights, it will inevitably be echoed by the three strongholds deployed by Wang Xiu, and finally eat this hidden danger.

It's a pity that white agarwood is smarter or less daring than expected. The high-frequency bait did not really attract the big mermaid of white agarwood.

So in this ghost weather, the field ambush soldiers who broke away from the camp could not hold out for a long time, and they were not Wang Xiu's original team, from various leaders, and the ineffective deployment of ten days made them complain, and they could not be ignored from freezing to frostbite.

Especially when the snowstorm came, no one could hold on, and now, seeing that Bai Agarwood was not fooled, they had withdrawn to the cottage to recuperate. The grain transport team also began to return to Lingzhi Mountain after the snowstorm stopped today.

The combination of these made Wang Xiu feel bad, but in the end he felt that he was thinking too much, and he was just obscene, and he really didn't have that much courage and ability

Whether it is Lingzhi Cottage or Chizhou Camp, she can't gnaw on it, and she is the only one who can transport the grain team, but assuming that she wants to make a surprise attack now, according to the geographical location, there is a condition: she must march from Jiuhua Mountain during the snowstorm to be possible.

"No one can march in that environment!"

For the time being, Wang Xiu can only conclude in this way, and it is imperative to break Chizhou before more unfavorable signals appear and the morale of the army declines further......

After suddenly having a heart and thinking that Bai Agarwood might send troops, there was not much time left for Zhao Cheng to make decisions and equipment.

Zhao Cheng was thinking all afternoon, he was tied up in Chizhou for half a month, and there was no news, and he couldn't fight without news theory.

But now there are very few points to choose from, and Zhao Cheng finally decided to make a passive bet: White Agarwood will surprise Yangziling.

As long as that girl is alive, she will definitely do something, and after thinking about it, she only has Yangziling to fight, and she can't gnaw on the Lingzhi cottage or the Chizhou camp.

The significance of fighting the Yangtze Ridge grain transport team is not very great, but theoretically, now this season when there is nothing to do but wait for the knife, as long as it is a battle, it can be fought, and the premise is to win, which can make Wang Xiu feel his own mistakes and loopholes.

Assuming that Zhao Cheng is her, with mental arithmetic or unintentional, if the surprise attack on Yangziling is successful, it is a simple addition and subtraction.

One-third of the number of Wang Xiu's army, minus the number of people killed in Yangziling, is equal to the strength left behind in the cottage. Throwing the rebels' brains into the cottage affects their morale, creating an aura of flying separately when a catastrophe is coming, and those who stay behind the rebels are all Wang Xiu's team, it is possible to break the old nest of Lingzhi Mountain, which is not strong, in one fell swoop.

Or is it that after a successful blow, he fled away from Jiuhua Mountain again, making Wang Xiu feel that his own logistics line was too loophole and took the initiative to retreat?

It is said that he has a heart with her, but after all, he can't be completely sure. For these problems, Zhao Cheng has always considered the darkness of the sky.

The attack is basically decided, and it is almost equivalent to no way to survive if he keeps guarding, Wang Xiu is not stupid now, he only needs to try again, and he can basically see the truth that Zhao Cheng's defense materials are exhausted.

There will only be a chance of two days at most.

If you choose to shrink for these two days, it is easy to miss the possible surprise attack opportunity of the White Agarwood Department.

The trouble is that it is only Zhao Cheng himself who thinks like this, and Cai You will definitely not approve such a risky plan. Basically, you can know his mind in the usual conversations, and now, Cai You just wants to pull this militia that Zhao Cheng has trained with great difficulty, and try to survive until there is a large army in the spring.

This pot belonged to Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng told him at the time that he could hold it, and then got a relatively independent command, and now he basically has no face to persuade him to attack with "can't hold it".

A person who is nervous in the water, basically the most likely choice he will make is to hold on to the lifeguard's hands and feet and drag them to the bottom of the water. Zhao Cheng knew about it.

Cai You's shrewdness lies in the fact that he has never fully trusted Zhao Cheng and doesn't know what he is thinking about, but from the beginning of the training of this 1,000-strong militia to the time when Zhao Cheng mobilized resources to equip them with cold-proof equipment, Cai You inspected the militia team very frequently almost twice a day, morning and evening.

When it gets dark, it's almost time to strike.

For Wang Xiu, it may be time for him to harass and test the siege again. For Cai You, it was almost time to inspect the militia camp.

Wang Xiu's siege period is not regular, early or late, but it is basically after the end of the day, because in the dark, it is difficult for Zhao Cheng to judge the arrangement of his troops and the arrangement of the rushing car, and it is easiest to waste gunpowder and oil ineffectively.

Now that the initiative to attack is a certainty, Zhao Cheng hopes that Wang Xiu will attack the city immediately after he comes down. Because only when he was attacking the city, his attention would be attracted, so that Zhao Cheng could stand out from the other city gates.

Now is the right time, the right place and all the people need it!

Hopefully, all the conditions will be fulfilled together, because there will be no more time to wait for this and that.

Even if it is the strongest Mongolian cavalry, the marching speed in the blizzard will not exceed 100 miles per day, and even if Bai Agarwood has a halo, it will not be more than 50 miles per day.

Conservative estimate: she has now set up an ambush circle at Guzikou in the Yangtze Ridge. At the same time, according to Wang Xiu's large-scale grain transportation team, the snow stopped during the day and just left. In other words, the Battle of Yangziling may start at any time.

That girl needs Zhao Cheng's cooperation.

At the same time, Zhao Cheng also needed the news of the victory of the Yangtze Ridge of White Agarwood to reach Wang Xiu's camp, bringing Wang Xiu's hesitation. And at that time, with the help of the night, in the most unlikely time period, he was locally attacked by Zhao Cheng, who was supposed to be waiting for death in the city.

In this regard, Wang Xiu's camp will inevitably be messy, with his cautious and suspicious nature, he will not even believe that it is the forces from the city that are actively attacking him, but will be mistaken for other secret reinforcements entering Chizhou, or misunderstood for the gods and ghosts of Bai Agarwood, and then it will be chaotic.

If it really appears, it will be the only chance for Chizhou!

After thinking about it, Zhao Cheng decisively picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Zhang Ji?? 's handwritten letter, well, it's probably the content of the teacher's table, and the purpose is also clear, that is, to let Zhang Ji?? Now go to the state office, no matter what method you use, find a way to drag Cai You, so that he doesn't come out to cause chaos, and he doesn't see through Zhao Cheng's deployment.

As for then? No then.

"I can't help it now, so I tried my best. If you make a mistake in judgment and unfortunately die outside the city, it will not affect the final outcome of Chizhou. If I am blinded, it is the only hope and opportunity for Chizhou. All please sir. ”

At the end of the letter, Zhao Cheng wrote. After that, he handed it to Zhao Qingming and asked him to send it quickly.

At the same time, several secret orders were issued in succession.

So there was calm before the storm, and most of the people in the city didn't know anything, except that the militia camp, which was usually noisy and liked to shout "one-two-one" and lage, was surprisingly quiet when it was dark.

In normal times, Zhao Cheng does not completely restrict them, and has some free time. But now it is basically in a state of curfew in the barracks, and all the militia outside have been recalled, and those inside cannot go out.

Not everyone in the militia has weapons, and usually training is mainly wooden sticks, but now, there has been a large-scale movement of sharpening wooden sticks with knives. It seems to be to kill boredom after training, but in fact, you can see their nervousness and uneasiness from their expressions. This is the restlessness of the recruits before their wartime deployment.

At the same time, a large amount of materials collected and prepared for the winter battle began to flow into the camp in a steady stream.

Those who were appointed as captains, who usually showed skeletal amazement, had already taken their members with their respective members to give a final explanation of the battle, while starting to apply ginger oil, face, neck, especially hands and feet, which are necessary to resist the cold, and after applying it, wearing gloves and leather boots around the neck to lock the heat.

A small amount of dry food began to be distributed, but it was not allowed to be eaten casually.

Usually, there are no conditions at all, and it is absolutely forbidden to drink, but tonight is an exception, in Zhao Cheng's vigorous white strip campaign earlier, a batch of wine was collected and was always reluctant to use it, and now is the right time, everyone has issued half a small pot of wine.

The order is to drink before going out.

Even if there is no wind now, it is conservatively estimated that the temperature will drop above -15 at night. Wine is poison in ordinary times, but it is life-saving at critical moments. It boosts their morale and blood circulation, reducing the chance of their hands and feet freezing to death.

There are no more resources, such preparation Zhao Cheng has done his best to brush up all his previous character.

With the help of darkness, Zhao Cheng's old team and the more than 30 core messengers have secretly withdrawn from the city and officially entered the militia camp as the backbone, and will specifically command this combat mission.

The rest of the people were naturally led by Liu Qishan, who stayed in the city to be the last guards and bluff.

Once the siege began, how long could Liu Qishan's people hold out Zhao Cheng didn't care very much, and now he should think more about how long this commando team could live?

In fact, whether you can see the light of tomorrow or not, not too many people know or care. Now I saw Liang Hongyu, a five-year-old girl wearing a tiger head hat, walking into the barracks, and the young Tongyin shouted "out of battle".

Almost everyone's blood is surging and their eyes are red, when such a little girl needs to go out with the army, this seems to be a just war that must be fought, and the question of life and death is no longer important, let alone ask questions and think.

At this time, except for Zhao Cheng, who had no heart and no lungs, almost everyone had light in their hearts, and that bit of light was the aura produced by Liang Hongyu. Her children's voice is the magic skill "Ruby Drumming", causing such a cute baby to be out of the battle, and the people outside are already "full of evil".

So there is no need for Zhao Cheng to brainwash the oath again, Liang Hongyu's appearance is the oath.

Knock knock –

At the critical moment, the low war drums outside the city began to beat, and the warning of Wang Xiu's troops attacking the city again came from the north. So Zhao Cheng and Xiaohutou led the team to quickly rush to the south gate.

According to the queue, they quickly gathered at the south gate, and all of them nervously and reverently clenched the sharp wooden sticks in their hands and prepared.

"I don't know what I'll face when I open the door, but I'm a soldier on the battlefield, and I don't have room to think about it. If we could see the light of tomorrow, everyone who fought tonight would go down in history! ”

Zhao Cheng's speech was not greeted with applause, and everyone drank half of the jug of wine and threw the flask.

"Open the door and follow me!"

In the freezing darkness, the gates opened......
