562. The Message of the Dead

The dead soldiers and fine workers who were sent to Anhui County actually didn't know Liu Ye's identity.

They just carry secret slogans, and as soon as someone matches them, they know that they are their companions, and then they can tell them the secret message they know.

After completing this task, even if they were imprisoned, they would be relieved, in fact, even if they were tortured to reveal the secret message they knew, outsiders would easily not know the true meaning of the message.

Only the special people in Zhu Wei's school office can decipher the secret message.

For Zhu Wei, who has watched a lot of spy war movies in later generations, it is really easy to get a password, and with the inspiration of the idea of password production, the school office under Wang Yuyan's control will naturally be able to develop all kinds of special secret language messages according to the needs, and you can get out the secret words that others can't understand even if they see it.

The wisdom of the ancients is actually no worse than that of modern people, and many times it is a matter of shackles of vision and thought, and when you help them break the original boundaries, they can create more results that you don't expect.

Therefore, these people who are sent in will be considered dead, that is, they have a plan in advance that they will not survive.

And Liu Ye soon got the real message after the people from the school office cracked the secret word, which was actually an agreed signal, so that Liu Ye could find an opportunity to open the city gate, or let Zhu Wei send someone to secretly climb the city wall.

When Liu Ye saw the message, his heart was also a lot calmer, and that night he sent someone to wave a few torches in the city according to the signal agreed in the message.

In the eyes of the guards guarding the city, it was like someone saw something under the city and was holding a torch to check it, but in fact, it was sending a signal to Zhu Wei's scouts who were staring at this side from a distance.

Then, the news that the scout saw the signal was also transmitted back to Zhu Wei as soon as possible, and Zhu Wei also knew that Liu Ye had received the news sent by those dead soldiers.

That night, after Zhu Wei collected the army and returned to the camp, he congratulated the ordinary soldiers with food and meat, and then counted the merits and announced the military merits of each army and battalion as soon as possible.

In this way, the soldiers can know that their exploits have been included in the reward list, so that their inner calculations can also calculate what rewards they can get after this battle, so that they can enjoy the fruits of victory with peace of mind.

The rewards are clear, so that the soldiers can fight more diligently, at least they will not die in vain when they die.

It's just that ordinary soldiers only need to care about their merits, and generals like Zhu Wei naturally still need to study the next strategy, so after returning to the camp after the battle, Zhu Wei discussed tomorrow's war plan with Jia Xu, Lu Su, and Zhou Yu.

Today's battle successfully destroyed more than 10,000 enemy troops outside the city of Anhui County, but tomorrow's siege is the real difficulty.

Even if Jiang Qin is now guarded in a military fort outside Anhui County, even if Liu Ye and Zhou Tai are ambushed in Anhui County, if they want to play their role, they naturally need a certain way, and it is impossible to let them be easily exposed for no reason.

Therefore, tomorrow's battle needs to consider how to uproot the two forts outside Anhui County, and then the siege battle, even if it may not be able to overcome in one battle, but it will also give Liu Xun some pressure, so that Liu Ye can get more opportunities to do things.

After all, from the current known situation, there is an urn city in the city gate of Anhui County, so it is not easy to seize the city gate and open the city gate.

In fact, when Zhu Wei discussed with Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others yesterday, he also considered the opportunity to use Jiang Qin's control of the fort to secretly let Jiang Qin control the soldiers in the fort to surrender, and then wait until night to send the dead to climb the city wall and steal the city.

As long as you can climb the city wall with two or three thousand elite soldiers, you can forcibly capture the city gate with the help of Liu Ye and Zhou Tai's ambush men hiding in Anhui County, thus opening the city gate for Zhu Wei's army.

There are still opportunities for this approach.

It just depends on Liu Ye's situation in Anhui County, if Liu Ye can control the defense of a section of the city wall, then it will be more feasible, anyway, as long as it is night, someone on the city wall can answer, naturally you can hide from the defenders in the city, and let the people sent by Zhu Wei to sneak attack climb the city wall.

Of course, the best way to steal the city is to be close to the fort controlled by Jiang Qin, so even if there is some movement, you can use the movement in the fort as a cover.

Therefore, in the message sent by Zhu Wei to Anhui County, there is such a plan and arrangement, and the signal response sent by Liu Ye on the city wall also shows that Liu Ye does control a section of the city wall defense, and the place where Liu Ye sent back the message is that the city wall area of Anhui County can be attacked at night.

It's just that there are other Liu Xun's generals guarding the fort controlled by Jiang Qin, plus the hundreds of soldiers who fled into the fort today, Jiang Qin wants to make all the soldiers and generals in the fort surrender, but it is not as easy as Xu Qian and Zhang Duo in Huling County.

At the same time, Zhu Wei's side tried to send the dead soldiers to Jiang Qin's fort before, but they failed to enter Anhui County as smoothly, and there was no signal from Jiang Qin's side at night, so it seems that Jiang Qin did not receive the message sent by the dead soldiers.

Therefore, according to the discussion of Jia Xu, Lu Su, and Zhou Yu on Zhu Wei's side, it is best to feint an attack on Anhui County during the day tomorrow, mainly to break through another military fort outside Anhui County, and then try to contact Jiang Qin's side.

In this way, even if Jiang Qin's side can't cooperate in time, he can also use the area to break through the area of the fortress and find an opportunity to sneak attack and climb the city.

For this reason, under the collegial discussion of Jia Xu, Lu Su, and Zhou Yu, tomorrow's battle plan was gradually perfected, and then there was nothing to do overnight, and the next day Zhu Wei's army advanced in the direction of Anhui County again, this time bringing a large number of siege equipment.

For a time, a large number of cave houses and vehicles that filled the moat, hanging ladders to climb the city wall, mobile arrow towers for siege assistance, thunderbolt throwing cannons, and other siege equipment were combined, and under the impetus of 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, they slowly followed Zhu Wei's army to the city of Anhui County.

Of course, Anhui County has already had a military alert to defend the city, and the soldiers defending the city saw the movement of Zhu Wei's army from afar, and naturally sounded the sound of the alarm bell, so it was not long before the city wall was already densely covered with a large number of soldiers defending the city.

Liu Xun, Liu Ye and other Liu Xun's advisers and generals also came to the Sword Pavilion of the City Gate Tower one after another, watching Zhu Wei's army come over again.

Yesterday's battle, Liu Xun's side lost nearly 9,000 soldiers, while the actual casualties on Zhu Wei's side were less than 2,000, and although there were some minor injuries, it basically did not affect the battle, so the losses on Zhu Wei's side were not very large.

In fact, in yesterday's battle, the army with the greatest casualties on Zhu Wei's side, that is, the 3,000 soldiers that Pang Yan initially brought to challenge, and thus were surrounded by more than 10,000 soldiers of Liu Xun.

After all, it was surrounded by enemy troops several times larger than itself, and even the elite of the Xionglu battalion commanded by Pang Yan could not be unharmed, but even so, among the three thousand soldiers, there were three or four hundred soldiers killed in battle, one or two hundred were seriously wounded, and four or five hundred were lightly wounded.

3,000 troops were surrounded by nearly 10,000 enemy troops, and with the tacit cooperation of those sword and shield men and crossbow archers, such losses were really nothing......
