Chapter VII
There are always many mountains in the south, and Chen Guangdu, who lived in the north after crossing over, almost forgot that he was a southerner before he crossed over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoIn the capital, in addition to the plains or plains, they are all hundreds of acres and hundreds of acres stretching into patches, even if there are mountains, they are just small hills. And in the south, you don't see a flat place at all. So there is a reason why most of the capital is in the north - because there is simply no flat land in the south where there is enough to build a palace city.
For example, Chen Guang is now leading the army out, and not far from the city, the hills are already rolling and undulating. The march was difficult.
"The front is about to go to Twilight City, according to the news from the spies in front, the city lord of this city is now a person named Gong Xinzhi, a loyal fan of the previous Wuhou, after the death of Wuhou, he occupied Twilight City and became the city lord, and someone once heard him say that he wanted to stand up to the court or something." Wu Yong said to Chen Guang. He is now like an information filter, all the news about the battlefield will be sent to him first, and then he will choose a valuable part to convey to Chen Guang.
Chen Guang raised his head slightly, looked at the stone city wall that appeared faintly on the mountainside, and said, "Incompatible with the imperial court?" I really don't know who gave him the courage to say such things. With his size, even if he was given ten times the number of troops, he would not be the opponent of the imperial court, why was he so arrogant? It's okay, since he followed Wuhou, and now that Wuhou is dead, then he shouldn't continue to live in this world. Let's set up camp at the foot of the mountain, a little further away from the col. β
"Just set up camp?" Wu Yong was a little surprised, he raised his head to look at the sky, although it was said that it was dark early in winter, but it was obvious that it was not yet to the point of camping, he said: "We are about to go up the mountain, we can attack in the afternoon to explore his reality." β
Chen Guang suddenly glanced at him and said, "Who said I wouldn't attack?" Encamping and attacking do not conflict. And now it was only four or five miles away from his city, and it was just right to camp here. β
Well, since Chen Guang said so much, Wu Yong didn't express his opinion, and directly chose to shut up and go down to order.
Chen Guang looked at the city in the distance and muttered to himself; "There is no doubt that Gong Xinzhi is very aware of all my movements in the city, and it is impossible to raid his city. Maybe he has prepared the net of heaven and earth now, just waiting for me to break into it, this is called inviting you into the urn, so I won't be fooled. β
In Twilight City, in the City Lord's Mansion, a subordinate reported to Gong Xinzhi; "Lord of the city, they have set up camp five miles from us."
"Oh? It's so early, or it's time for lunch, what are they camping for? Do you want to surround but not fight? That's too stupid, if I don't go on his side, I can still go down the mountain if I go to the other side, can't he still surround my side of the mountain? If you want to go around this col and surround me, do you have to walk at least two hundred miles, around such a large circle? Gong Xinzhi said that he could not understand the encampment behavior of the imperial army.
He couldn't figure out what Chen Guang wanted to do, and the others naturally couldn't figure it out, so in the end he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, you go down first, continue to observe, and report to me as soon as there is any trouble." β
"Yes."
Waiting for the next person to leave, Gong Xinzhi touched his chin, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "What does this guy want to do?" I'm so high here, there's absolutely no way he's going to hit that high. β
To be honest, wasn't the culprit who caused Wuhou's defeat or even his death to anger be the terrible weapon that Chen Guang had? Twilight City is built on the mountain, looking down on the earth halfway up the mountain, if Chen Guang's weapon can still hit him, Gong Xinzhi feels that he can write a big word on the door of his head.
And his guess is indeed not wrong, no matter how advanced the stone thrower is, as long as it has not reached the technological content of mortars, Chen Guang will have nothing to do with this Twilight City. And Chen Guang can't study mortars temporarily now, and even if he wants to do it, he may not be able to do it.
But Chen Guang also has his own plans, is there no other means besides the stone thrower? Hehe, I can only say that you are still too naΓ―ve.
Besides, this Chen Guang, although the people below don't understand why they have only been out for half a day to set up camp, you must know that everyone is ready for battle, but when they received the news of camping, this is the same as "Your pants are off, why do you show me this?" "What's the difference?
But there is no way, the prince is the boss, what he said is a military order, the so-called military order is like a mountain, no one has enough to eat and have nothing to do to question, as a soldier, obedience is the first priority, what about other loves.
The tents were lined up at the foot of the mountain by a small river, and Twilight was halfway up the mountain across the river.
After the tent was set up, Chen Guang had a leisurely meal, looking like a crowd but not fighting.
After eating and drinking, he took a nap beautifully, and when the sky gradually darkened, Chen Guang suddenly decided to attack, he found Wu Yong, and said, "Arrange three thousand people to attack with me." β
"Three thousand? Is it enough? Good. When Wu Yongyi heard that Chen Guang only needed 3,000 people, he wondered in his heart, this Twilight City is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, and 30,000 people may not be able to defeat it, what are these 3,000 people going to do? Then he felt that he shouldn't ask, anyway, if he asked Chen Guang, he wouldn't answer, but he would get a roll of Chen Guang's eyes.
"The rest of the people, just make me torches, it's okay to make it simple and rough, as long as it can be lit, do it quickly, do it more, I will continue to do it without stopping."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen Guang's mouth, Gong Xinzhi, Gong Xinzhi, isn't it just a strategy, I'm a big guy who has watched "Thirty-six Strategies", why can you compare with me? Are you kidding.
Soon, three thousand people were ready, and these were infantry units.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everyone is ready." Wu Yong trotted all the way to Chen Guang to report.
Chen Guang nodded slightly and said; "Yes, yes, now let each of you take two torches, don't bring anything else, oh yes, fifty more people, bring marching drums and horns and whatever, let's attack."
"This ......" Wu Yong felt that Chen Guang's order was getting more and more strange, there were three thousand people in total, each with two torches, so what to use to get weapons? And what the hell is a marching drum and a horn? (To be continued.) )
