In ancient wars, intelligence work was not very important, and in addition to the underdevelopment of communications, many good fighters were wasted. As a person who has come over, Zhang Chao knows very well how much timely intelligence can play in a war, and he has always been willing to invest in this area, which is also one of the main reasons why the Celestial Empire can rise in a short period of time.

After the enemy's movements were grasped, they were reported to the ears of Wen Chou in the city.

Is it finally here? Hearing the slow approach of Ross's army, Wen Chou Feidan did not have a trace of nervousness, but was a little excited.

The five armies were given a month-long emergency training by Zhang Chao.

Although the time is not very long, only those who are immersed in the scene know how to survive that month, even a famous general like Wen Chou at that time gritted his teeth and persevered.

Only then did there be five heroes who could adapt to the ice and snow conditions.

According to Emperor Zhang Chao's idea, these five armies will be stationed in Adan City and Lianxes City in turn, replacing the original four legions there to take over the task of defending the city.

There are many advantages to this, first of all, it greatly relieves the pressure on military rations, and secondly, it can reduce the occurrence of frostbite among soldiers. In order to maintain the sufficient combat effectiveness of these five armies, Zhang Chao required each army to defend the city for 20 days. That is to say, within twenty days, if there is a war to fight, it will be fought, and if there is no war to fight, it will not be fought.

As a general, there is no war, just like a doctor has no patients to see, and a cook has no food to cook, which is a very depressing thing. Therefore, Wen Chou hopes to have the opportunity to show his skills in the bottom of his heart, which is not only the time to verify his training results, but also the opportunity for the best performance.

But Emperor Zhang Chao also asked the armies not to take the initiative to attack, which is really because their troops are too small, and they can barely defend the city and take the initiative to attack, and the lack of troops is reflected.

In this way, what Wen Chou can do has become very limited, although he is eager for war, all he can do is wait for war, instead of actively looking for fighters. In other words, if there was no Rus' army to attack the city during the twenty days he was defending the city, he would not have the slightest chance to show his ability.

In this regard, Wen Chou is incompetent. But fortunately, his luck was good, and the Rus' army actually took the initiative to start moving closer to the city, so that he had the opportunity to show his skills. And how to achieve the best results in such an environment is the problem he needs to consider.

Although he was extremely excited in his heart, on the surface, Wen Chou did not do anything, on the contrary, the number of patrols of the patrol army in the city was getting less and less, he wanted to deliberately create a situation of tightness inside and looseness outside, he wanted to give those extremists in the city who opposed the army of the Celestial Empire a chance to perform, so as to catch them all.

Under Wen Chou's orders, the city's defenses seemed to have become much looser. Originally, a patrol of fifty people appeared in the city during the time of a pillar of incense, but now it has been changed to a wave in half an hour.

Such a change aroused the excitement of the opposition forces in the city. Of course, they didn't know that this was Wen Chou's intention, but they took it for granted that it was due to the lack of strength of the Celestial Empire's army. After all, the number of troops is limited, and the weather is so cold, it is natural that the number of patrols will be reduced. And if they knew that the 80,000-strong army had undergone a month-long inhuman training, they would not have thought like this.

When things happen in the world, there is no room for regret, let alone ifs, but there are all kinds of possibilities. Many things, once you take the first step, you can never go back. Just like those Rus' in the city, the moment they were ready to make a move, they were doomed to die.

In three days, Mikhail's 200,000-strong army only moved twenty-five miles. This is naturally due to the fact that the snow is too thick, which is not conducive to the walking of the army, but at the same time, it is also because of their caution, they are lurking as much as possible, and they want to be caught off guard by the Celestial Empire army.

Three days later, at midnight.

That night, God didn't seem to be in a very good mood, the strong northeast wind kept blowing on the head, although there was no snow, but under the strong wind, there would be wind flowers constantly blown up, falling, obstructing most people's vision.

This is what the locals call the big smoke bubble, and this kind of weather will only be colder and worse than snow.

Choosing such a time to attack the city was also intentional by Mikhail. In such weather, even the Rus' army, which was accustomed to such weather, felt constrained in action, and they did not believe that the Celestial Empire army would be able to adapt. Maybe at this moment they are lying under the covers enjoying that warmth? And once there is a war, it is impossible to get out of the warm room and quickly adapt to the cold weather outside, and this time is enough time for them to storm the city and reoccupy Ardan.

The 200,000 army, with the help of the cold wind and snow of the big smoke bubbles, slowly approached the north gate of Adan City, until the distance was only a short five hundred meters, and they did not see any special reaction from the soldiers of the Celestial Empire defending the city. By the torches on the castle tower, I could only vaguely see soldiers walking on it.

Utkin, who was shivering from the cold, squeezed in front of Mikhail, who was in front of the army, wearing a large coat made of animal skins, and said: "General, we should not be discovered. ”

"No, Lord Wu can take a look, the Celestial Empire soldiers on the city tower are still on normal patrol. And the number of people is very small. Mikhail said confidently.

Raising his head and tightening the big gun on his body, Utkin really didn't see a few torches, but because it was too few, he said in a somewhat skeptical tone: "Could this be the intention of the Celestial Empire army?" You know, they're very cunning. ”

"Haha, intentionally so, how is it possible? In such a cold weather, even if I come to defend the city, I will not arrange too many soldiers on the city tower, after all, there is nothing but cold stones, and the soldiers who stay here may be frostbitten at any time, even so, what are so many people left in the city. ”

Listening to Mikhail's explanation, Utkin nodded in belief and said, "That's fine." So when is the general going to attack the city? ”

"We're going to wait until the people in the city get up first and get their attention. Hehe. Let's see, the snow has piled up under the tower, which has greatly shortened the distance between us and the city, and I have sent someone to try it just now, and the snow is very thick, and it is no problem for people to leave. Alas, it seems that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire really don't have combat experience in such weather, and they don't even know how to clean up the thick snow under the city, hehe, think about it, they only have an army of 80,000, I'm afraid there is no extra manpower. ”

Mikhail said to himself, as if everything was going in his favor.

For Mikhail's analysis, Utkin is really unwilling to think about it, in such bad weather, if he says a word, he may be blown into his mouth, so he simply handed over all power. Marching and fighting is not his specialty, and even if someone is willing to take responsibility, then it is up to him.

Utkin did not raise any doubts, and Mikhail hid in the snow with his army, waiting for the signal of chaos in the city.

on the streets of the city.

Tonight, for some reason, there were suddenly a lot more patrols, and the number of patrols they did not go to half an hour as usual, but returned to the time of a pillar of incense. This sudden change caught the people of Rus' in the city by surprise.

Under such conditions, if you go out of your home and go out on the street, it is no different from looking for death. But today is the agreed day, and the Rus army outside should have been prepared, and should be waiting for their signal.

To rush out or not to rush out, I am entangled in my heart, and time passes little by little in hesitation.

Two hours were wasted in the psychological struggle, and there was only one hour before dawn. Seeing that time passed little by little, neither the Rus in the city nor the Rus' army outside the city could stand it.

In particular, the army outside the city stayed motionless in the ice and snow for two hours, and in the current time, it is a full four hours, and many people are covered in heavy snow. This does have the effect of not being noticed, but at the same time their bodies become stiff.

Even Utkin, who was dressed in the warmest coat, could not stand it anymore, and once again squeezed in front of General Mikhail and asked: "Do we still need to wait?" I just looked at it, many soldiers have frostbite to varying degrees, if we persist in this way, I am afraid that we will not have to fight with people, and we will only have to hurt our own strength. ”

"Can't wait." Mikhail's face showed a desperate expression, he didn't know what was going on in the city, but he guessed that those Rus' who were not soldiers were afraid that they should be afraid that the incident would be imminent, so they didn't dare to come out and make trouble. But it doesn't matter, with the 200,000 troops he brings, there is no problem in rushing up to the tower. And as long as he enters the city, with the advantage of the number of soldiers in his hands, the army of the 80,000 Heavenly Empire will definitely not be his opponent.

Mikhail finally decided to give the order to attack, and before he could give any order, suddenly there was a noise in the city, and the sound of the sound, the chaos, could be heard outside the city.

"Haha, they're finally doing it." Hearing that the city was beginning to be chaotic, General Mikhail was overjoyed, although it was nearly two hours later than he expected, but anyway, he still did it, with the cooperation of the Rus' in the city, he believed that the chances of victory in this siege would be increased by more than two percent.
