After the mayor of Hongdu City and the city lord discussed it, not only did they laugh, but then the city lord said with a smile on his face: "Qiu Jihua, this matter will be handed over to you, and the whole city can be freely transferred by you, in short, as long as this matter is successful, then you will be a great achievement, and the official and the long history will celebrate your merits for you, and report your merits to the imperial court to know!" ”

"Of course, this matter is very important, so this official also wants to see your determination!"

Hearing this, Qiu Jihua arched his hand excitedly and said: "Since this is the case, the student is willing to make a military order, and he must go all out to implement this matter!" ”

"Okay, since that's the case, you can take the tokens of me and Lord Changshi, and the whole city will be mobilized by you, and the army of three hundred or so will also be mobilized by you!"

The City Lord's face showed a look of determination.

"Thank you, sir!"

……

Let's say that Qiu planned to get the full support of the most powerful two city lords and Changshi in Hongdu City, responsible for investigating the spies of the Chelong Kingdom army outside the city, and guiding the work of the spies.

However, this Qiu planner knew that this matter was very important, but it could not be faked, so he only left two planners who were usually good and trustworthy, and the rest of the people all refused to go out.

And when Qiu planned to mobilize the manpower in the city to make preparations, Huang Zhong's army and various generals sent their own scouts, among which Gan Ning was the most, and as many as twelve people were dispatched.

These twelve people, who are also elites, took advantage of the gap between the soldiers and horses in the city to change guards, and quietly infiltrated it. After all, the garrison of this red capital city is insufficient, and the only thing that is really useful is the city lord's 30,000 personal soldiers, so the defense of some sections is really extremely negligent, which provides good conditions for everyone to enter.

When the other scouts were happy to enter the city, the twelve scouts of the Ganning Army recorded the matter, after all, they scouts could blend into the city, so maybe they could also let some agile people mix in, and when the time came for the army to attack the city, it would echo from the inside. It's also good, maybe you can build some credit, but it's not necessarily.

After entering the city, they were sensitive to the fact that the atmosphere in the city was extremely tense, and from time to time there would be people following them, which made their investigation fall into a stalemate.

And gradually after a period of time in the city. Thanks to the spies' tracking, the scouts of the Ganning Army finally saw the military camp with a large population. There was still the sound of fighting training inside. And it sounds like it's extremely elite.

However, such a military camp, roughly they can only see a few on the periphery, but there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, and they do not see the entire army, but just look at the density of the camp, the number of troops is probably not less than 300,000.

However, the Ganning Army scouts did not receive any definite information. However, with the sensitivity of the four second-level scouts, they felt that things did not seem to be like this, so they did not go back because of this, but continued to investigate.

And at this time, the scouts of Huang Zhong and other generals who got the news. But they hurried out of the city, wanting to tell the news to the generals, after all, it was an extraordinary time, but it was not easy to get out of the city, and they also got the news unintentionally, so they went out of the city.

And in this way, only the twelve scouts of Gan Ning are left, and in order to hide themselves more, they are no longer revealing their own whereabouts, after all, they must have a slight gap with the people in the city, and it is easy to attract the attention of others.

In this way, it is natural to be suspicious of others, which is not conducive to finding out the news, and why it has become much easier to go out of the city at this time, it also makes these twelve scouts a little suspicious, so they are not too anxious to go out, but continue to stay and lurk to investigate.

However, after a long day of investigation, nothing else was found, but it made them see the fear of some officials, which made them extremely suspicious at these times.

Because according to the solidity of this city, 300,000 elite soldiers defend the city, so even in the face of five million troops, they can hold on for about three days, and then they must wait for the arrival of reinforcements, at that time, it is the decisive battle between the spar rule and the army outside the city, and the red capital city must be extremely safe, but now it is to let those officials, so afraid, but the arrow officials are not easy, these scouts are afraid of being discovered, so they leave early, do not dare to startle the snake, after all, the current red capital city, The vigilance is very tight.

There are many suspicious points, so that these scouts no longer believe what they see on the surface, they are going to a deeper level, which makes them find that those military camps seem to have some suspicious existence, it seems that from a distance, the number of military camps is very large, but you can see that the military camps inside seem to be a little dilapidated, and even the military camps that can be seen are a little old.

And this red capital city is a middle city, a city with a population of more than four million, or a rather prosperous city, it turns out that it will be like this, the military camps are old, which makes these twelve scouts investigate more carefully, they found that there are too many doubts, and if there are such doubts, then only one can want to cover up, so the four second-level scouts are to divide the team into four. Each of them took two of their men and began to explore more boldly.

"What man!?"

A small official's house, this is the courtyard of a small quartermaster, but it is slightly dilapidated, and the scouts of the Gan Ning army have also explored the existence of this official after doing everything possible.

"Don't move, come with me, or you'll look good!"

The skills of the second-level scout are amazing, although this official is also a sixth-level fighter, but there is the opponent of this scout, and it is easy for the scout to point out his neck with a flying knife.

"Spare your life, I'll just go with you!"

With the disappearance of this official, the scout, known as Team A, had a happy smile on the faces of the three of them.

The second-class soldier muttered to himself even more afterwards; "So that's the case, I just don't know if other brothers can gain anything, it's just such an example, but it's hard to explain the facts!"

At this time, the other three teams of scouts also made moves, found the residences of some minor officials who had something to do with the army, but had no rights, and tortured them to extract confessions, and finally got the knowledge they wanted.

At this time, Huang Zhong was also anxious about the meeting of the generals, Huang Zhong's face was very serious at this time, and he said: "You have all got the news of the scouts, this red capital city seems to be unusual, it is a difficult bone to gnaw, everyone must be ready for a big battle!" ”

"This red capital city turned out to be 300,000 troops, this is really difficult to attack, it seems that only the engineering equipment manufacturing can be completed, otherwise the city will be attacked like this, this loss is too great!"

The generals below said with a frown.

Although the army under their own command is a strong general, but they also dare not directly attack the city of Hongdu, after all, there are 300,000 troops here, this is not something to be underestimated, although Huang Zhong's army has 5 million troops in hand, but it is not cost-effective to forcibly attack, although the assault is at most three days, it must be able to capture this city, but it is a lot of losses.

When the generals were frowning, Huang Zhong looked at the generals and didn't have a good way, so he sighed and said, "So I have to ask someone to build siege equipment!" ”

After all, the effect of trebuchets is also extremely good, and the materials are cheap, so those captured siege equipment, the army did not write at all, after all, those engineering equipment, if carried, will naturally greatly affect the marching speed of the army, but it is not as good as to the place, if you want to use siege equipment, it is not too late to build.

Therefore, in order to avoid too many losses, the army can only build siege weapons.

"The general is not as good as this, we continue to take turns to send our troops and horses to call the battle, if they go out of the city with us, it is naturally the best, and even if they retreat to defend the city, it may also reduce the morale of the enemy, I don't know what the lord thinks?"

But it was Huang Zu who jumped out and said.

Huang Zhong nodded and said: "This matter is feasible, if you can earn the enemy army out of the city to fight with our army, it will be considered your credit!" ”

Huang Zu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he led the troops to go, but the other generals felt that it was useless, after all, if they used stratagems, it would not happen overnight, but it was just such a simple scolding war, but it was impossible to deceive the enemy army out of the city, and now the army of Chelong Kingdom was here, even if the general defending the city was stupid, it was impossible to act like this.

After all, when the number of enemy troops is inferior to our army, or the number of enemy troops is equal to that of our own army, and there is not much difference in strength, the defenders will go out of the city and fight with the enemy army.

But in this situation, it is impossible to go out of the city to fight, and as for the scolding war, the effect is better than nothing.

Therefore, the rest of the generals did not do such thankless things, after all, the probability of success is too low, and the effect is indeed not very good.

In this way, the generals were silent, not knowing what to do!

Huang Zhong is also troubled at this time, this red capital city is up to, it is impossible to fight hard, and if you build siege equipment, how can you need three days, and then the reinforcements of this red capital city will naturally arrive, so that you can only do the thing of encircling and sending reinforcements, so that the army will not be able to get a city to rest, which is extremely difficult to do.

And this Red Capital City is the best place for the army to rest, but now it seems that it cannot be easily obtained, so Huang Zhong is also extremely disappointed in his heart, after all, there is a base area, which is far better than camping in the wild, but now since it is impossible to get this Red Capital City, then there is no way to do it.
