As soon as Xiao Chaogui arrived in Yong'an, he commanded everyone to set up camp, and when everything was arranged, it was already night, but he still called the main generals to a meeting to discuss the siege of the city tomorrow.

"Gather everyone for a meeting in the evening, there's nothing to entertain, just keep it simple. Everyone knows that the military situation in Jintian is urgent, and we must capture Yong'an as soon as possible. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Xiao Chaogui asked the guards to make a cup of tea for the generals present, and it was treated as a treat.

"Although Yong'an is not a big city, it is not a small border city, it is a transportation artery to the provincial capital Guilin, and the city is still very strong. It's very difficult to win it in the short term. Li Kaifang took a sip of tea and shook his head, since ancient times, the city has been easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that it is too difficult to take it quickly.

"Speaking of which, there are too few of us, and we and Da Li's brothers together are less than 5,000 people. The people who guarded the city observed it today, and it was estimated that there were almost 2,000 people. Once the war starts, our losses in numbers will be much greater than theirs, and the more fierce the battle, the more serious the casualties of our brothers will be, and then we will be very passive. Lin Fengxiang also shook his head, disapproving of the quick attack.

"Speaking of which, the safest way is to dig tunnels and bury gunpowder under the walls to blow them down. But we don't have that much time to dig tunnels. But if we want to break through the walls at once with the power of this cannon, it depends on luck. If you fight for a few more days, you will definitely be able to take it, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous in a few days. "The cannons are all arranged by Luo Xuan, except for the captured Qing army cannons, the others are all self-made pine cannons made by the Dali brothers, and the power is really limited.

"Brethren, I know I'm asking a little too much, but now the military situation is not up to us. In this way, tomorrow we will take Yong'an at all costs, and whoever is the first to attack Yong'an, I will be the one to call the shots and seal the first-level military rank. In addition, his team can eat first within a month, and if there is meat in the meal, they will be given double portions. "Xiao Chaogui knows that at this time, there is a brave man under the heavy reward.

Sure enough, Li Linluo's eyes were red when they heard it, and of course everyone wanted to do it bigger and bigger. The temptation of food is also very great, the first meal is to pick the good food first, and the amount of food is also sufficient. The soldiers under his command eat well, the easier the soldiers will be, and the higher their prestige in the team, which is more tangible than adding a military rank.

"It's done, say it early, tomorrow I will give up my life and do it with him." The three of them immediately changed their faces and took out a desperate posture.

Xiao Chaogui immediately smiled, this kind of atmosphere is right. "Our team is divided into three teams, you all choose the next direction, let's attack quickly, leave one side for them to escape."

"I want the East!"

"East!"

"The East is mine!"

The three of them almost had to face east at the same time, the east lookout ridge was high, and the cannons were all arranged here, and the east was the direction that was most likely to capture Yong'an first, so the three of them fought in unison.

"Usually, we can let other things, but this time, we got here first, and we can't say anything!" Luo Xuan, who has always been modest, has come up with a posture to be decided this time, and he has to fight for everything.

"Don't rob us with your navy, our team has always been at the forefront, and this place should belong to us." The rewards are too rich, Lin Fengxiang is originally a chong chong character, and this time he is not far behind.

"Hey, we took the Guijiang ferry first, so we all have priority." Although Li Kaifang is the oldest here, his ambition is undiminished, and he especially wants this first.

The three of them, who were originally quite harmonious, fought for each other, and each of them had their own reasons.

Xiao Chaogui didn't expect this good thing to become a bad thing, and it would affect the unity of the team too much if the competition continued like this, so he immediately came out to play a round and said: "Don't fight, let's draw lots." The order is determined by the day, the first to catch one, the second to catch two, and the last to catch three. ”

This suggestion was fair, and all three agreed with Xiao Chaogui's suggestion.

Xiao Chaogui picked out three pieces of paper on the table, asked the documents to write one, two, and three respectively, and then put them in the pen holder, and said to the three of them: "Come and catch them." ”

The three of them were nervous when they drew lots, as if they had never been so nervous when they led their troops to fight. It was Li Kaifang who was the most calm, first opened the paper ball, and there was a "two" word on it, and after reading it, he sighed heavily and handed it to Xiao Chaogui.

When Lin Fengxiang opened the paper ball, sweat flowed out, and he opened it tremblingly, and there was a "three" on it, and he immediately spread out on his seat like a defeated rooster, deflated, and cursed that his hands were too smelly and his luck was too bad.

Only Luo Xuan happily opened the paper ball, and at this time he already knew that he must be the word "one", and the result of opening it was "one". He was as happy as a child in his thirties, and his beard shook with laughter, "This east side is mine." ”

"I'll choose the north." Li Kaifang thought about it for a while and made his own judgment, there are still some houses under the north city wall that have not been burned, which is very conducive to attacking the city.

"Then I'll go south." There are only two sides left, Lin Fengxiang did not hesitate to choose the south, there is one less watchtower on the south wall, so that the defensive force will be weaker, and the casualties of the besieging side will be smaller. The western side is the lowest, and the walls appear high, which is not conducive to siege.

"Xiao Junshi, can I participate in this siege?" Yang Xiaoshan suddenly opened his mouth.

"Yes, you follow Luo Xuan." Xiao Chaogui was puzzled and looked at Yang Xiaoshan with puzzled eyes.

"I mean, I want to lead an army alone, and I'll fight the west side where no one chooses." Yang Xiaoshan explained.

Before Xiao Chaogui could speak, Li Linluo and the three of them immediately vetoed it, there were already fewer people to attack the city, and if there was one more team, there would be even less people. Luo Xuan was even more puzzled, he had grabbed the east, why didn't Yang Xiaoshan want the credit for this?

"Xiaoshan, this is not good. There are not many of us in the first place, and if we have one more side, there will not be enough siegers. Xiao Chaogui gently refused.

"I don't want any people in their team, Xiao Junshi, you can transfer Chen Yucheng's 100-person logistics team to me. Such a little bit of people does not affect our overall battle plan, there is no one in the west, but they dare not escape from the west. Yang Xiaoshan pleaded.

Xiao Chaogui looked at the three of them again, and this time everyone seemed to have no opinion. Yang Xiaoshan has made many military exploits during this time, and he still has a very prestigious reputation in the army, and there is no need for others not to give him face without affecting themselves.

"Okay, I'll transfer Chen Yucheng's team to you. Tomorrow is a hammer deal, they are the reserves and they are estimated not to be needed, let you take it and try your luck. That's all for today's meeting, everyone hurry up and rest, and attack the city early tomorrow morning. Xiao Chaogui announced the end of the meeting.

Out of the barracks, Chen Yucheng ran to Yang Xiaoshan's side excitedly, "Brother Yang, do you have any clever plans again?" ”

Yang Xiaoshan looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Chen Yucheng saw his expression, his heart became more steady, and he said: "Brother Yang, don't worry, we can get more siege equipment, and now they are all in our logistics camp." ”

Yang Xiaoshan hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, you just need to bring your self-made ladder, and collect more firecrackers, no one wants this, but I can use it tomorrow." "When I arrived in Yong'an, the whole army was cutting wood to build ladders, and each team had built a lot.

"Firecrackers? This is useless, I know you used this to deceive the Qing Demon two nights ago, and put a lot of gunpowder, but tomorrow the siege will be daytime! Chen Yucheng scratched his head, he didn't understand what Yang Xiaoshan's thinking was at all.

"Don't worry about it, I can use it anyway, remember to have as many firecrackers as possible." Yang Xiaoshan admonished.

"Haole, I gave the whole army of firecrackers, and then let the brothers go to the surrounding villages to collect, don't worry." Chen Yucheng slapped his chest bulgingly, he didn't care about anything else, anyway, he decided that he would definitely not suffer a loss by following Yang Xiaoshan to do things.
