Chapter 480: Who's Setting Up the Game?
After hearing this news, a sneer suddenly appeared on the face of the Xuanwu Army's envoy. The fastest vertex update was able to break through so easily, of course, it was deliberate for him. Otherwise, how could the opponent's more than 10,000 cavalry break through his defense line so easily?
After learning of the enemy's movements, the Xuanwu Army Jie Du envoy immediately sent people to find his subordinates. Not long after, a middle-aged general in armor came to him. Looking at this person who was ready to go on the expedition, the Xuanwu Army Jie Du Envoy smiled very satisfied, and said, "Act according to the plan, since they have 10,000 soldiers and horses, don't put them back!" In the end, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Xuanwu Army's envoy.
When they sent a large army to attack Yingzhou City, they had already thought that the other party might send someone to rescue. After all, with such a big move, the other party can easily find out.
Therefore, at that time, they had already planned, as long as the enemy sent reinforcements, they would send a large army again, and then cooperate with those armies who went to attack Yingzhou City, and kill all the enemy's rescue forces on the way.
On the side of Yingzhou City, several generals left by Lu Chen in the city stared solemnly at the outside of the city at this time. Outside, you can see layers of armies surrounding Yingzhou City very tightly.
Although Lu Chen had left them with plenty of bombs before leaving. Moreover, these soldiers who came out of Luzhou City had also seen the power of bombs before. But even so, when they saw more than 10,000 enemy troops outside the city, they still couldn't avoid being a little nervous in their hearts.
Because in the past, they all fought with Lu Chen. And they don't know very much how to use these bombs, they were all told by Lu Chen before, they only know the simplest ignition and then throw it into the enemy army, as for the rest, they don't know anything.
After observing the enemy situation on the city wall, these generals returned to their tents with solemn faces, looking for a way to break the enemy. But as soon as several of their generals returned to the tent, a soldier suddenly rushed in from the outside and said, "Report to the general, the enemy troops outside have suddenly withdrawn for some reason."
After hearing the news, several generals immediately looked at them in disbelief. They glanced at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes similar to their own. If they hadn't known that the herald in front of them couldn't have falsely reported the military situation, they wouldn't have believed this seemingly incredible news.
After a few moments, several generals slowly came to their senses, and they hurried towards the top of the city wall. When I came to the city wall, I looked at the outside of the city, and the army that had trapped the city before had long since disappeared.
It was only at this time that they completely believed the words of the herald from before, and these enemy troops besieging the city had really withdrawn!
Subsequently, these generals began to speculate about why the enemy army suddenly retreated. After all, judging from the surface strength alone, the other side can capture this city.
Could it be that the battle situation on their general's side has changed, or maybe General Lu has helped during this period?
But in any case, the crisis on their side is resolved. According to the scouts who have just returned, the enemy forces have actually withdrawn, not set traps outside the city.
At the same time, the 10,000 troops that rushed out of Chenzhou City reached a valley. They did not continue towards Yingzhou City, but stopped in the valley.
And the general, who had been walking in front of the team on horseback, suddenly tugged at the reins of his horse and came to a cavalryman wearing ordinary soldiers' armor. He first dismounted respectfully and saluted, and then asked, "General, what should we do next?" ”
Hearing this, the man in the armor of an ordinary soldier looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "We are ambushing here." If the army of the Xuanwu Army really dares to come, they will definitely let them come and go! ”
After saying that, they let the army of more than 10,000 people hide in the mountains on both sides, waiting for the enemy to come.
The person wearing the soldier's armor just now was Lin Lao, who had just been appointed as a military advisor by Lu Chen. Because of this possible big war, the impact on them is too great. Lu Chen must send a truly powerful person to cooperate with him inside and outside in order to ensure the victory of the big war.
As for the 10,000-strong army sent by Lu Chen, it was not to rescue Yingzhou City. In Lu Chen's opinion, the defenders in Yingzhou City were enough to deal with the 10,000 enemy troops, and at worst they could delay for a while, and they didn't need assistance at all in a short time.
And this 10,000-strong army has a more important task. According to Lu Chen and Lin Lao's guess, as long as they send this 10,000 army, the Xuanwu Army Xuanwu Army Jiedu Envoy will definitely send troops and horses again to Yingzhou City to reinforce the 10,000 army they sent before. At that time, their 10,000 soldiers and horses can quietly ambush on the way, and wait for the other party's reinforcements to arrive, under the premise that the enemy army is defenseless, they can completely inflict heavy damage on the enemy army.
It didn't take long for Lu Chen, who was in the city, to get a message again. The army of the Xuanwu Army's Jiedu envoy really made another move, and the scouts sent out by Lu Chen found that there were a large number of soldiers on the other side, and they rushed over in the direction of Yingzhou City from here.
After getting the news, Lu Chen immediately summoned the generals in the city to his room, and according to the strategy he had discussed with Lin Lao before, Lu Chen gave these generals an order one by one.
First, he left 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard Chenzhou City. And the remaining more than 13,000 elite soldiers, all of whom followed Lu Chen, went to pick up Lin Lao and them.
After hearing Lu Chen's arrangement, several generals obviously showed a hint of surprise on their faces. The general who stayed in the city couldn't help but ask, "General, leaving only 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, it's a little too reluctant." If the Xuanwu army suddenly led an army to attack the city, it would be difficult to hold it with only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses."
Hearing this general's concern, Lu Chen just smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, they won't come to attack the city." In the past few days, I have seen some deeds about the Xuanwu Army's festival envoys. Although this man has great talents, he is too cautious. It is precisely for this reason that there are not many available talents under his hands. Many of the staff members simply couldn't stand their suspicions and chose to leave. Such a cautious person, even if he learns that the defenders in the city are empty, will not easily send troops to attack the city until it is confirmed."
After hearing Lu Chen's analysis, several generals nodded suddenly. Immediately, I heard Lu Chen say again: "If he really attacks the city this time, as long as the siege of soldiers and horses is less than 5,000 people, you will resolutely defend it." And if there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses attacking the city, you can delay for a while, and then abandon the city and flee. Exchanging a city for his tens of thousands of troops is definitely a sure win. I'll tell you a clever plan to defend the city........"
