After last night's attack on the camp, Liu Zheng thought a lot and had a lot of plans in his head, so he made good preparations in the camp, and prepared food and grass, weapons, wound medicine, etc. for nearly half a month, and he even sent someone to find the old man Mo Yi, and asked the old man Mo Yi for all the samples of the Zhuge chain crossbow that he had created, and asked Li Tiehammer to take the blacksmith to create a lot of iron crossbow arrows.

When it was approaching dark, Liu Zhengcai and Wei Boyuan set off towards Shouguang with the twelfth and thirteenth battalions, and it was the end of the hour when they joined Zhou Yun.

The soldiers were ordered to set up camp according to the place that had already been demarcated, and Liu Zheng, Wei Boyuan, Zhou Yun, and the fifteen company commanders of the five battalions went to Zhou Yun's camp together.

Liu Zheng asked as he walked, "Why don't you see Tian Hongda?" ”

Zhou Yun saw Liu Zheng ask Tian Hongda and replied: "I'm lying down with the military doctor!" Lao Tian's injuries this time were not light, not only were his arms and thighs pierced by steel guns several holes, but even his stomach was pierced with a shot, fortunately, our armor was strong, and the chain mail was covered inside, otherwise this shot would kill him! ”

Before everyone entered the camp, a few soldiers walked in carrying a small sand table, which was a topographic map of the city of Shouguang made by Liu Zheng according to his big sand table.

After the soldiers put the sand table, Liu Zheng led people around the sand table, and before Liu Zheng could speak, he heard someone shouting at the door, and then the curtain of the camp door was lifted, and Tian Hongda, who was wearing broken armor and had gauze wrapped around his arms and thighs, walked in.

As soon as Tian Hongda entered the camp, he knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Lord, Tian has come to confess!" ”

Liu Zheng said calmly: "What crime did you receive, what crime did you commit?" Let's do it, I'm not the court, I don't want to do this! I have always told you that if you suffer a loss, you must get it back, and those who have no ability will die or live as soon as they lose the battle! ”

After saying this, Liu Zheng said again: "If you can still fight, if you can fight, just listen here, if you can't fight, go to the military doctor and lie down!" ”

Tian Hongda is also a smart person, and he immediately heard the meaning of Liu Zheng's words, and hurriedly got up and said: "Yes, I can fight, not only I can fight, but my little cubs can also fight, lord, if you want to attack the city, I ask our battalion to be the first to go up!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Zheng laughed, Tian Hongda's 17th battalion is basically injured by everyone, how can he fight? However, he couldn't refuse directly, which chilled Tian Hongda's heart, and said, "That's okay, you hurry up and listen!" ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Tian Hongda and turned to Zhou Yun: "Camp Commander Zhou, tell me about the situation!" ”

Zhou Yun nodded, and organized the language: "Because only two battalions are not enough to surround the four city gates, I discussed with Lao Tian and set up camps in two places, although they are camped separately, but the distance between the two camps is very close, Lao Tian's seventeenth battalion is camped in the south of the west gate, and my second camp is stationed at the south gate near the west side, and there is only one mile between the two camps!" ”

"After setting up camp that day, Lao Tian and I ordered the soldiers to cooperate with the auxiliary soldiers to cut down trees and build engineering equipment with the craftsmen, nothing happened during the day, and the city was very quiet, only a few officials looked at the city!"

"Because I didn't expect that someone in the city would come out to attack at night, when I set up camp, I didn't place deer and other things, so I gave the enemy a chance early, it's my fault!"

Liu Zheng's face was as usual and he didn't say anything, but turned to look at Tian Hongda and said, "The situation at that time, Camp Chief Tian, tell me!" ”

Tian Hongda hugged his fists and then said: "It was about the end of the day, I hadn't fallen asleep, and suddenly I heard someone shouting that there was a fire, I rushed out of the camp tent to see, and it was only a moment when dozens of camp tents were on fire. ”

"The other party rushed to the camp from the main gate, and when I led people to meet the enemy from the main gate, there were arrows constantly shooting in from the outside on both sides of the camp tent, and most of the casualties in my camp were caused by these cold arrows!"

"The soldiers who rushed to the camp from the main gate are not weak, especially the leader of the man, a spear is really powerful, he can single-handedly overturn our mandarin duck formation, I have only five or six moves with him, he has a hole in me, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Camp Commander Zhou, I would have gone to Hades to report!"

When Tian Hongda said this, Zhou Yun nodded and said, "That person's name is Jiang San'er, and he is indeed a fierce general!" ”

Liu Zheng already knew about Jiang San'er's situation, and he didn't show anything on his face when he heard it, but just nodded lightly and asked, "Is there any situation during the day today?" ”

Zhou Yun shook his head and said, "No, but if it weren't for the eleventh battalion sent by the lord, I think they would have gone out of the city to harass a few times today!" ”

Liu Zheng nodded again and said, "Second brother has a plan?" ”

Zhou Yun thought for a while and said: "After last night's attack on the camp, we still have precautions, and with the arrival of the lord with the twelfth and thirteenth battalions, I think they should not attack the camp tonight!" ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "I want to take the city with a little temptation tomorrow, bring it to the city after the siege equipment is enough, and then attack it on three sides, and take it down in one fell swoop!" ”

Liu Zheng turned his head to look at Wei Boyuan, Wei Boyuan nodded and said: "I agree with what Zhou Yun said, after all, there are already variables, I don't know how many soldiers are hidden in this city, it is not advisable to attack rashly, we must go through a certain amount of trial and find out before we can formulate a detailed siege plan!" ”

Liu Zheng stared at the sand table for a long time, and then asked someone to take a look at the Qingzhou military deployment map for a while, and suddenly said: "I decided to attack the city tonight!" ”

"What? Siege tonight? ”

Zhou Yun and Tian Hongda both asked in surprise, and Wei Boyuan was also surprised, but he didn't say anything, but stared at the sand table silently.

Liu Zheng nodded and said: "I don't believe it, there are other soldiers hidden in this city, there are only Zuowei Battalion and Leping Qianhu near Shouguang, in addition to these two places, the nearest is Laizhou Wei and Wang Xuzhai Qiansu, and the two nearest Laizhou Wei to Shouguang County The nearest road is more than 290 miles, if you take the official road and hike more than 400 miles, not to mention that now Laizhou Wei has become Chen Zeng's private soldier, Laizhou Wei is even more unlikely to come to Shouguang!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zheng pointed to Shouguang City on the sand table and said: "Although Shouguang City is small, there are four miles from east to west, and more than six miles from north to south. ”

"Besides, they attacked the camp last night and caused us a lot of casualties, and presumably they wouldn't have thought that we would attack the city tonight!"

Everyone was silent, and what Liu Zheng said seemed to be very reasonable, but Wei Boyuan suddenly said at this time: "Don't forget that Li Shan, the county governor of Shouguang, had contacted the magistrates of Le'an, Boxing, and Gaoyuan, and gathered the soldiers of the inspection department to catch you!" If the patrol soldiers of these three cities are now in Shouguang City, then there are as many as 5,000 troops in this small Shouguang City! ”

Liu Zheng nodded, he knew that what Wei Boyuan said was not impossible, but this possibility was relatively small, after all, if it weren't for the magistrates of other counties who were idiots, they would not give all the only troops in their city to others, even if the people from the six gates gave them orders, they couldn't give them all, and they would inevitably leave a part.

"There can't be so many, the magistrates of these three cities are not idiots, they will inevitably leave some people to protect themselves, and old man, you forget a little, Shouguang, Le'an, Boxing, Gaoyuan four counties are county seats, and they are not the places to rush, the most of the inspection department is only more than 500 soldiers, even if they all come, the inspection department of the four cities has a total of more than 2,000 soldiers, plus more than 1,000 soldiers of Le'an Qianhu, a total of more than 3,000, not to mention that the other three cities of the county and the commander of Le'an Qianhu are not idiots, It is impossible not to leave someone to save their lives! At most half of them can come! ”

"What is half? There are more than 750 people in the remaining three cities, and more than 500 households in Le'an! There are at most more than 1,750 people in this city, even if you count the officials and the nursing homes of large families, there are only more than 2,000 people! ”

"How many people do we have, we have five battalions, even if we don't need wounded soldiers, we also have four battalions, 1,300 elite soldiers against 2,000 miscellaneous fish, or miscellaneous fish scattered on the four city walls, if this can't win, then what else do we fight in the world, it's better to find a rope and hang it!"

was so provoked by Liu Zheng that Tian Hongda and Zhou Yun couldn't hold their faces anymore, and the two of them opened their mouths to fight.

"Immediately send the order down, rest all, and attack the city in time!"

"Yes!"

After Zhou Yun, Tian Hongda and the fifteen company commanders came out of the camp together, Liu Zheng handed the map in his hand to Cai Wei Boyuan, and then said: "If it is really as the old man said, all the soldiers in the four cities are concentrated in Shouguang, then I really have to thank Li Shan and the people of Liumen in Shouguang Zhixian County!" ”

Wei Boyuan said suspiciously: "Why? ”

"Old man!" Liu Zheng smiled and said: "You are always in the game, you can't see Mount Tai, is the strategic location of Shouguang important?" Say he's important or not, say he's not important and important, now we occupy Qingzhou Mansion, and occupy Linzi and Changle, then hold Shouguang, it will keep the east and west of Shandong unblocked, but they ignore a point, for Shouguang, Le'an is a strategic place to prevent us from expanding outward, hold Le'an, we will be completely blocked to the north, but now they actually hold Shouguang, then you can directly take Le'an, Boxing, Gaoyuan, which has few troops to defend, then the entire northern plain of Qingzhou has become mine! ”

"If I am the main general of the other party, I will abandon Shouguang and guard Le'an, which is equivalent to choking our footsteps to the north, and at the same time can form a line with the new city of Jinan Prefecture, Changshan, Zouping, and Zichuan to block our westward footsteps, we have Laizhou Mansion and Jiuwei Eight Institutes in the east, and Muling Pass to the south! In this way, the trend of catching turtles in the urn has been formed! ”

Wei Boyuan looked at the map in his hand, combined with Liu Zheng's words at this time and what they said when they studied the entire Shandong terrain before, his heart suddenly understood!

Then he laughed and said, "I really should thank Li Shan and the people of the Six Doors!" ”
