"I've seen ...... general"

"Vulgar etiquette is waived, hurry up and tell me how the situation is now!"

The moment Liu Ce received the news, he rushed directly from Yuanzhou City to Yong'an, and when he arrived, it had been ten days since Zuo Shuoyan City.

Xu Wenjing opened the map and said to Liu Ce: "General, you see, the subordinates have ordered Mo Ji and Mu Kuo to lead their respective tribes with a total of 30,000 people, starting from the Milu Plain to attack the four enemy camps entrenched near Juyang, and now the two sides have begun to clash, and ordered the Jizhou army of 25,000 people to feint to attack Juyang, which has attracted a part of He Dan's army......

Liu Ce looked at the circles marked on the map, his brows furrowed even tighter, he never imagined that the situation in Jizhou would become like this now, just because of Zuo Shuo's wrong idea?

Among them, if Xu Wenjing is not responsible, it is simply better than telling a story, and he is in charge of all affairs in Jizhou, and he has caused such a big incident in just a few months, which completely disrupted his deployment.

However, now is not the time to find someone responsible, we must think of a way to let Zuo Shuo withdraw from Yancheng safely, even if he dies in Yancheng, he has to do his best to die later. Otherwise, not only will the veterans of the Jingwei battalion be chilled, but the newly joined Jizhou Army and the Hu people will not be easy to control, and once the military spirit is dispersed, this team will not be easy to lead.

But how to save it? Looking at the dense enemy strongholds on the map, if they are pulled out one by one, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hit Yancheng in a year at the current progress, and even if they are not torn apart by tens of thousands of enemy troops, they will run out of food and die there.

Thinking of this, Liu Ce carefully observed the lines on the map, trying to find a suitable route to march from it that could quickly lift the siege of Yancheng.

"Where is the main city of He Danluo?" Suddenly, Liu Ce asked such a sentence.

When Xu Wenjing heard this, he immediately found the location of Shuoyang in northern Hebei from the map and said: "Right here, the main city of He Danluo is in the north of Qiufeng Ranch, eight hundred miles away from Yong'an. ”

Liu Ce's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Immediately order Chu Zijun, Chen Qing, and Fu Yunxiao to stand by the three cavalry battalions, let Mu Feng lead the two cavalry of the Mu clan and the Wu tribe to meet at the place of the three tribes, and distribute all the war horses under Yong'an's rule, I want to ensure that everyone in these cavalry units will have at least three cavalry transfers!" ”

When Xu Wenjing heard this, he was immediately shocked, and asked nervously, "General, what are you planning to do?" ”

Liu Ce used a charcoal pen to draw a circle on the word Shuoyang, then threw the pen away, and said fiercely: "Take Shuoyang directly!" ”

Xu Wenjing was shocked: "General, be cautious, now is not the best time to fight a decisive battle with He Danluo, and there are many passes along the way, once these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fall into it and are surrounded by a large army, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Liu Ce said: "No, I have made up my mind, since the mistake has been made, then simply make a mistake and completely expand the situation!" Mess up the whole Jizhou, the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it is for us! The safer they will be! ”

"Huh?" When Xu Wenjing heard this, she carefully recalled Liu Ce's words, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "General, you mean?" ”

Liu Ce nodded: "That's right, Zuo Shuo must be saved, if he doesn't save it, it will inevitably chill the soldiers under his command." In addition, since he is going to have a decisive battle with He Danluo sooner or later, it is better to explore his reality in advance to see how he is different from Wei Chixiang. ”

After hearing this, Xu Wenjing began to quickly calculate the consequences of Liu Ce's actions, ignoring the possible losses, and the rest was the possible benefits.

Liu Ce then arranged tactics: "You send all infantry troops to attack the enemy's cities, contain their forces for me, the more fierce the fight, the better, of course, to avoid unnecessary losses, give me a chance to go straight to Shuoyang, if possible, at most ten days, I will be able to attack Shuoyang City." ”

Xu Wenjing was slightly stunned: "Ten days? General, even if you arrive in Shuoyang in ten days, how will you attack the city? You're all cavalry! ”

Liu Ce said in a deep voice: "Who told you that I was going to fight Shuoyang? ”

"Huh?" When Xu Wenjing heard Liu Ce say this, she couldn't help but be suspicious, and then looked at the map on the table, and immediately understood what Liu Ce meant by this.

"General, do you mean ......" Xu Wenjing's eyes were full of admiration, he never expected that this young man would be so brave and thoughtful, and he would complete the tactics in such a short time.

Liu Ce interrupted him and continued: "Without further ado, all the cavalry must be assembled at the Yong'an City Gate in half a day, and you pass on my order to transfer the Wuzhen battalion from Hanshui to guard Yong'an, and he will be as stable as a rock in southern Hebei." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Xu Wenjing saluted respectfully, and then quickly walked out of the general's mansion to arrange relevant matters.

Seeing Xu Wenjing leaving, Liu Ce looked at the map on the table and shook his head and said secretly: "I don't want to do this either, but now there is no other way, let's gamble!" ”

……

"Kill......"

Above the tower of Yancheng City, the rain of arrows poured and the sound of killing shook the sky. Zuo Shuo held a carved bow and an arrow to knock down a Hu man who was carrying a ladder, and then his body shrank violently to the edge of the battlement, and a cold wolf's tooth arrow brushed against his ear, nailed to the wooden board not far in front of him, and brought a burst of sawdust flying.

"It's dangerous, phew......"

Zuo Shuo, who was secretly glad to have escaped, spat on the plank, and then the cat dodged around to avoid a shower of arrows and came to another battlement with his back against the wall and breathed continuously.

A soldier on the edge of the battlement saw Zuo Shuo coming, shot an arrow in his hand, and then turned to him and said, "Mr. Qi, it's the fourth wave today, it seems that these Hu people are determined to take down the city tower." ”

"Stop talking nonsense and keep your spot." Zuo Shuo heard the soldier say this, and replied impatiently.

"yes, uh......"

Just as the soldier was about to turn the battlement, a thumb-thick arrow pierced his throat.

The soldier fell down in pain, clutching the arrow at his throat, a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and the life in his eyes was slowly fading......

"Brothers......

Zuo Shuo groaned and came to the soldier's side, only to see the soldier's mouth full of blood, clutching his sleeve tightly, and after a while, his arm hung down weakly......

"Rest in peace......" Zuo Shuo closed his eyes lightly and sighed.

In the past few days, more than 100 soldiers under his command have died on the city wall, and he has gradually become accustomed to this kind of parting from life and death, and buried his grief and self-blame in his heart.

"Resist, fall rocks and wood, and smash me hard!"

With Zuo Shuo's angry roar, one by one falling stones smashed into the ladder that had reached the city wall, only to hear a terrible wail, and the slaves who were still under the tower and the slaves who were erecting the ladder were smashed into the air and the flesh and blood of the rolling stones were smashed.

"Poof......

Guan Qi's merchant escort team, the situation is also extremely tragic, more than 200 people have died in the tragic battle to defend the city in the past ten days, if it were not for Guan Qi's heavy money as bait, and the personnel of the Intelligence Department to cooperate with the supervision of the formation, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

"Bang ......"

The siege of the slave army finally set up the ladder on the edge of the city wall, and the next moment a hundred steps away, nearly a thousand Hu soldiers holding round shields howled in unison and rushed towards the city wall frantically.

"Here ......

At the incomplete battlement, Zuo Shuo swept the swarming Hu people with cold eyes, clenched the Qi knife in his hand, and made a look at the defenders around him.

Everyone nodded, and immediately took out a bottle of crockpot filled with fire oil from the box on the side, then took out the fire fold and blew it, and lit the strip of cloth that was set around the mouth of the can......

"Throw!"

Seeing that the Hu people had already gathered densely under the city tower, stepping on the ladder one by one, Zuo Shuo immediately roared, and took the lead in throwing the cans of fire oil in his hands downward, and then more than 100 cans poured down together......

"Wow......"

But I saw that the city tower instantly became a sea of fire, emitting thick black smoke.

In the haze, accompanied by hoarse shouts, one by one fiery bodies were scurrying around, and the scorching temperature and choking black smoke instantly swallowed them.

After a cloud ladder slid through the fire jar, the whole one burned, and Hu Bing, who was climbing with his shield, held one hand on the hot staircase, and suddenly screamed, but saw that the palm of his hand was full of burn marks.

"Bang ......"

At the moment when Hu Bing was stunned, a huge piece of wood smashed on his shield, and the round shield immediately split into several pieces, and the wrist holding the shield was also broken, and only half of the flesh was attached to the forearm, and the blood in the bones was shocking......

"Ah......h

The Hu soldier howled miserably, the whole person could no longer support it, and fell heavily on his back, crushing the Hu people who were scurrying around the ladder, and gradually devoured in the thick smoke and fire.

"Alas!"

In the distance, He Danyun saw the billowing smoke under Yancheng and the crowd retreating frantically, and waved his horsewhip out of thin air and sighed heavily.

"I really don't understand, after ten days, why Yancheng, which only has more than a thousand defenders, has been repeatedly attacked? It also damaged more than 1,000 soldiers under the command of this general, could it be that those people were beaten with iron?"

He Danyun was shocked in his heart at this time, his impression of the Zhou Dynasty officials and troops should be very cowardly and vulnerable, why is this situation now? 30,000 people, not to mention the loss of troops in Yancheng, but he couldn't even attack the city tower for half a step, which made him unacceptable for a while!

"General, I think if this continues, I'm afraid that even if I lose thousands of people, I may not be able to recapture Yancheng! From this point of view, the commander in the city must be proficient in the army, and the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers under his command must also be the elite among the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, so it is better to change the way of fighting. ”

At this time, a young voice sounded behind He Danyun, and everyone looked at him when they heard the words, but when they saw a young general wearing silver armor, with a handsome face and a heroic spirit, a young general about twenty-five years old rode out and slowly came to He Danyun's side.

Even He Danyun, who had always been arrogant and uninhibited, looked at him with awe in his eyes. The young man in front of him is not a good stubble, he is the same as himself, he is also a member of the noble surname of the Mengluo Empire, Murong!

This young man's name is Murong Yong, the son-in-law of Tuoba Hongye, and he is known as the fox of the grassland, and even Dong Li will kneel and greet him when he sees him.

Murong Yong is handsome, a few points more handsome than many sons and daughters of the Great Zhou Shigui family, and is proficient in music and poetry, which can be said to be an outlier in various parts of the grassland.

Of course, what makes He Danyun and everyone jealous is not his handsome and messy face, the real reason is that he is good at using soldiers and the city is very deep, and the means are very spicy, and he will do whatever it takes to win, this is what makes him terrible, but he has some similarities with Li Suwen.

He Danyun said respectfully, "What is Murong Horse's best plan to help me recapture Yancheng?"

Murong Yuce immediately took a few steps forward, and did not answer He Danyan's words, but said quite interestingly: "It's really amazing, a group of soldiers pretending to be merchants actually dare to seize the city and defend it?" It seems that these are the so-called Jingwei camps, right? Interesting, this trip to Jizhou is worth it. ”
