The county seat of Wu'an City is high and the river is deep, and it is guarded by the main officers and troops of Taiping County. If it had been so easy to break, the rule of the empire would have been over. Those who say such things are either ignorant or have ulterior motives. I want the Taiping Army and the Good Friends Association to come out, work hard with the officials and soldiers, and reap the benefits in the back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think Wu'an is? Soft persimmons that you can knead at your will? ”

Chen Wu knew that the leaders of these heroes and horse bandits really didn't have a good ability to judge the shape, so he could only explain it to them in person.

Having said that, if it was a really capable hero, he would basically not jump out at this time.

Just a day ago, the Imperial army in the northwest had collided head-on with the cavalry of the Wasshokou for the first time, and the decisive battle was only two or three days. Once the winner is decided, unless it is an unprecedented fiasco, the empire will soon be free to settle the rebellion in Taiping County. However, in this battle against the northwest, it was the famous general of the empire who commanded the army!

This man has a calm personality, and although he tends to be steady in the battle of the army, it can even be said that he is conservative, so that he occasionally misses a good opportunity, but he will never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

With him in command, even if the battle is not won, at least it will not suffer a ruinous rout.

Because of this, almost all people who can really understand the situation in the Eastern Continent believe that the rebellion in Taiping County will not last long.

It's a pity that they don't know that nothing in this world is a certainty.

"Is Wu'an really that difficult to attack?"

Chen Wu explained the truth in detail, and the leaders of the Little Knife Society, ** Gate, Changsheng Army and other forces were embarrassed one by one.

They only knew that Chen Wu's rebel army had easily wiped out a garrison brigade before, but they did not know that this victory was almost entirely achieved by the geographical advantages of Xiayang Valley. If you really encounter it in the wild, let alone the rebel army at that time, you can't win even if you expand it now. Plus the troops of the Good Friends. At best, it will be a miserable victory, let alone take the initiative to attack the city.

Also, they may have heard that the officers and soldiers were recruiting, but they never knew that the Second Garrison Brigade had been reorganized.

The county town has its own armory workshop, in addition to daily repairs and maintenance, you can also forge a steady stream of new weapons and armor. This Ordnance Division workshop. It has made a great contribution to the reorganization.

"Eight thousand officers and soldiers!"

This figure, which was double as expected, made Zhou Naichun suddenly feel that the wine in the cup was gone.

"More than eight thousand!"

Chen Wu shook his head and continued to beat: "Don't forget, how many aristocratic families there are in Wu'an. Among the top numbers in the empire of light, there are the Zhang family, the Shangguan family, and the Huang family, a wealthy businessman. As for the Lin family, don't even need me to talk about it? The Guanglin family has 800 generals, and this is only a standing one. Do you think that if the county town is really in danger? How many people can these families and wealthy businessmen mobilize for their own family business? ”

No matter how you calculate it, 2,000 is the least number!

"In other words, in the worst-case scenario, we might have to face 10,000 people?"

**The voice of the door owner Cao Rui trembled a little, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled.

Although the people of the gate lord family would not be willing to send their own forces to fight, and there was a question mark over how much combat strength the reorganized Second Brigade could have, they did exist after all. The military strength of all those present. It doesn't necessarily add up to that much. The reason why he dared to coerce Wu'an was more because of the momentum of the 200,000 displaced people. Without the help of these homeless people. Coupled with the prestige of the Taiping Army and the Good Friends Association before, the emperor ** in Wu'an City may dare to directly kill the rebellion!

"How can this be?"

Sun Yi, the self-proclaimed leader of the Changsheng Army who is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, looks like a master of the six gods, and his forehead is covered with beads of sweat the size of beans. I don't know if it's hot after drinking, or if I'm scared by Chen Wu, where is there still a little bit of royal descendants.

"General Chen!"

Wang Huifang glared at Chen Wu dissatisfiedly, and it was no problem to let them sober up. But if you continue to talk about it, what if you scare away the forces that sent it to the door?

Chen Wu smiled faintly and signaled that he didn't have to worry.

The name of the rebellion has been erected, where can they run away? If you don't scare well, how can you make these forces obedient?

Of course. After all, they still need to contribute when attacking the city, and Chen Wu can't hit them too much, so he immediately comforted: "Although Wu'an City is strong, everyone here doesn't have to worry too much. The officers and soldiers had trebuchets and bed crossbows, and our rebels also had them, and there were other siege equipment. As for manpower, we are even more lacking. If the homeless people use it well, the effect is not bad. As long as everyone here works together, they will definitely be able to capture Wu'an in the end! ”

"The rebels also have trebuchets and bed crossbows?"

The news leaked by Chen Wu made these powerful and horse bandit forces invigorated. Having just been frightened by Chen Wu's words, they urgently needed a little good news to boost their morale.

"Not only that, but there are quite a few of them!"

Chen Wu looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, which calmed down Zhou Naichun, Cao Rui and the others somewhat. Only then did they remember that the person in front of them was the earliest rebel army in Taiping County, and he single-handedly led the current situation in Taiping County. Since people are not in a hurry, it must be because they have confidence.

The atmosphere on the wine table began to ease again.

It seems to be similar to the previous one, but in fact it is very different. First throw out Wu'an's information and knock on these more than a dozen rising forces, and then give them confidence again. Chen Wu quietly let them truly understand who is the master of the coalition army!

By now, we can really talk about attacking Wu'an.

When attacking Longshan before, Chen Wu and Shanyou would choose to encircle three and put one, and attack on both sides together. This was done because the city defense of Longshan was not as strong as that of Wu'an, and secondly, because there was a shortage of officers and soldiers. Attacking on both sides can target this point to the greatest extent and make the officers and soldiers tired of dealing with it.

But this time to attack Wu'an, even if the officers and soldiers were sufficient, Chen Wu was still ready to use the same tactics.

Even, he is ready to intensify the attack on three sides together!

If only one side is attacked, the official army can use the strong city defense system to concentrate all its forces and slowly consume Chen Wu. This is the most hated and cruel type of war in the army of the feudal dynasty, even if Chen Wu can win in the end, the main force does not know how much to bury, and it may not be able to tell the winner in a month or two. By that time, the great armies of the empire had long since returned from the northwest.

Therefore, Chen Wu must choose a surprise soldier.

It is said that it is attacked on three sides together, but in fact it is a feint attack on both sides, and only one main attack. However, the movement of the forces of Tongguò and the feints of the other two sides can turn into a real attack at any time, and then deceive the officers and troops in order to achieve a breakthrough on a certain section of the wall.

Chen Wu once wanted to use this tactic in the siege of Lushan, but in the end he held it back. So far, the rebels have never used this method, and the officers and soldiers will naturally not be particularly vigilant.

If you use it for the first time, the success rate is high!

As for the question of who will attack the city first, it is also not difficult, and after drawing lots, they will take turns to attack. Anyway, this Wu'an City can't be captured in three days and five days, and everyone can get it in turn.

The benefits after the capture of Wu'an were mentioned by Chen Wu's ill-intentioned mention, and they were decided after Wu'an City was defeated.

The siege of Wu'an was bound to be a cruel and bloody battle, and several of these more than a dozen forces were inevitably lost during the period. When the time comes, without the power of his subordinates, he will dare to stay in Wu'an and open his mouth to ask for benefits?

Don't you be afraid that you have a life, but you don't have a life?

Wang Huifang naturally supported this mentions. Under the joint insistence of the two strongest forces, even if they are reluctant to do so, they can only pinch their noses and admit it. What's more, they also know that the siege has not yet been skimmed, even if they promise a bunch of benefits, they may not be able to get it in the end, and they rejoice in vain.

Once these main topics have been agreed, the remaining details and preparations will be much easier.

After taking the opportunity to finalize it together, the time has already used more than an hour.

The crowd had drunk three rounds of wine before, but they hadn't actually eaten much. Now that I have no thoughts, hunger pangs suddenly surge. Under Wang Huifang's greeting, they began to let go of their arms to eat and drink.

"Hey, what is this?"

Zhou Naichun turned over the half-eaten carp, and when the chopsticks pierced the belly of the fish, he suddenly saw a foreign object inside, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise. If it weren't for the fact that someone had inspected the dishes one by one before, and everyone was fine now, he would almost have thought that someone had poisoned the fish.

"Get it out there and take a look."

Cao Rui was also a little surprised, picked it open with chopsticks, and took out the piece of things.

Everyone looked at it curiously, and when they opened it, it was a silk book.

Sun Yi next to him turned sideways, but unfortunately he only saw six vermilion seal characters. It's just that the ink in his stomach can't even write his own name, how can he understand the ancient characters of two thousand years ago, and he was suddenly blinded.

Among the leaders present, there are still a few who have profound academic attainments. For example, the leader of the Little Knife Society once took the imperial examination, and Wang Huifang, the leader of the Good Friends Association. Although he was a little strange and inexplicable about this fish-belly silk book, he still leaned in and read it word by word.

"Too ...... Flat...... Prosper...... Old...... Military...... Wang ......"

After rereading the six words together, Wang Huifang's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at Chen Wu.

He instinctively realized that this silk book was the ghost of the guy in front of him.

"Taipingxing, King Chen Wu?"

Sun Yi didn't realize this yet, and repeated Wang Huifang's words, his expression as if he had seen a ghost. This guy is still quite superstitious about ghosts and gods, and when he suddenly saw this silk book, he was shocked like a river overturning.

King Chen Wu!!

Not only him, but Zhou Naichun, who was the first to discover the book in the belly of the fish, also looked at Chen Wu in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "It is recorded in the history books that the ancestor of the previous dynasty traveled drunk, once killed the white snake at night, and then won the world. This fish belly Dan book, is it ......"

"There is no such thing as ghosts and gods, but it is nonsense!"

Chongfan, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, glanced at Chen Wu and said disapprehantly: "This silk book is obviously stuffed into it by hand after the fish is cooked. It's not so much providence as someone's ......" (to be continued......
