At this time, in Tung Chung City, Shen Qiu and his party finally fled here. Shen Qiu looked at the tall Donglai City, and secretly said in his heart: "Soon, soon this place will be taken by the imperial court." ”

There are three guards in Tung Chung City, namely Chen Zhengkang, Hu Kailai, and Deng Chaofan.

They are all the henchmen and favorite generals of the king of Dongzhou County, and their strength is also not weak.

Chen Zhengkang: "Shen Qiu, how did you get like this?" ”

Shen Qiu: "Zhengkang, my Falling Star City was almost surrounded by the imperial court, but fortunately, I found it early and retreated in time to keep so many soldiers." ”

Chen Zhengkang looked at the Dongzhou army that walked past him. There was no light in the eyes of these troops, some were just tired and afraid, and they were afraid of the court at first glance.

Chen Zhengkang: "These are the garrison troops of Donglai City?" ”

Shen Qiu: "Yes, they are all garrison troops in Donglai City. The guards of Donglai City are too incompetent, which has caused them to become like this now. ”

Chen Zhengkang: "Wei Changyong is greedy for life and afraid of death, we have already heard about him, and the prince asked him to go back to guard Dongzhou City." ”

Shen Qiu was overjoyed in his heart, and learned another important news, but he was silent: "Wei Changyong, a general of the defeated army, can still have a good job of guarding Dongzhou City, the prince is really magnanimous." ”

Chen Zhengkang: "Yes, the prince is really magnanimous. Shen Qiu, come here, and introduce you to the other generals. ”

Shen Qiu: "It's okay, get to know the other generals." ”

In the main hall of the city tower of Tung Chung City, Chen Zhengkang walked in with Shen Qiu.

Chen Zhengkang: "Good evening, both of you." ”

Hu Kailai, Deng Chaofan: "General Chen, good evening." Who is this? ”

Chen Zhengkang: "Let me introduce to you, this is my fellow countryman, Shen Qiu." He is also the lord of Falling Star City. ”

Hu Kailai: "It turned out to be the city lord of Shenqiu, who has been admired for a long time." ”

Then Chen Zhengkang pointed to Hu Kailai and Deng Chaofan, and said to Shen Qiu: "These two are General Hu Kailai and General Deng Chaofan. Now join me in Tung Chung City. ”

Shen Qiu: "It turned out to be General Hu Kailai and General Deng Chaofan, who have been admired for a long time." ”

Although we don't know each other and may never have heard of each other, we must see each other for a long time.

Hu Kailai: "The City Lord of Shenqiu has just come over from Falling Star City?" ”

Shen Qiu: "I'm ashamed, after coming into contact with the army of the imperial court, we were crushed at the first touch. I just arrived with the rest of the men. ”

Hu Kailai: "After all, the city lord of Shenqiu is a civilian official, and he is not familiar with war, which is normal. Everything is outdated, and the three guards in Donglai City are to blame. ”

Shen Qiu: "As the lord of a city, leave the city and escape." Shen Qiu is ashamed of the prince. ”

Deng Chaofan: "Shenqiu City Lord, there is no need to be like this, we will get it back sooner or later." When the time comes, Shenqiu City Lord, you may not be able to see the Falling Star City. ”

Shen Qiu: "Then thank you General Deng for his words." ”

Shen Qiu said secretly in his heart: "Hmph, I still want to seize the whole world, in a few days, I am afraid that you and other rebellious ministers and thieves will become prisoners." ”

Chen Zhengkang: "Shen Qiu, come with me, you can go too."

It's been a hard day, and I've arranged accommodation for you. Tomorrow, you will go to Lintianguan. The army of the imperial court is coming soon, and it is not safe for you to stay here. ”

Shen Qiu: "Then thank you Zhengkang." ”

Chen Zhengkang: "You and I are fellow villagers, where you can see so much, come with me." ”

Shen Qiu: "Okay, then all the troops I brought will be left for you, and you must give the court a little color." ”

Chen Zhengkang: "Shen Qiu, don't worry, this time, we must play the backbone of our Dongzhou." ”

Shen Qiu: "Zhengkang, with your words, I am relieved." ”

Chen Zhengkang: "You can go to Lintianguan with confidence, the prince still needs a civil servant like you." ”

Shen Qiu nodded: "Hmm." ”

The next day, it was dawn.

Wei Changfeng led the army to Liaoyuan County.

The county order of Liaoyuan County has long been gone, and the rest of the county is basically some ordinary people. It can be said that there is no resistance at all.

Wei Changfeng directly asked the Vermilion Bird Legion to break away from the large army and go to take Liaoyuan County. And the rest of the troops went directly to Tung Chung City to kill.

Tung Chung City, as the last city before Lintian Pass, Tung Chau will not give it up easily.

Even if Xu Ru made a plan, he needed to start a big battle with the imperial court in Tung Chung City.

The army of Dongzhou will not retreat, and the army of the imperial court will not retreat either. Well, a tragic war is inevitable.

At this time, the first general of Dongzhou, Shi Kaitong, led the army and also rushed here.

There are 30,000 defenders in Tung Chung City, 100,000 troops in Shi Kaitong, plus 100,000 troops brought by Shen Qiu, and there are now 230,000 troops in the entire Tung Chung City.

Although it is still less than half of the imperial court, it is not to be underestimated.

Wei Changfeng didn't dare to lead people to surround the entire Tung Chung City. If the army of Tung Chung City kills from one direction, it will definitely not be able to hold on to one direction, and the command will bury the lives of the soldiers in vain.

Wei Changfeng is not a fool, he naturally won't do this.

Shi Kaitong rushed to Tung Chung City in the morning, and this battle must be personally commanded by him and handed over to others to command, and the king of Dongzhou County was very worried.

In the city lord's mansion of Dongzhou City, Chen Zhengkang, Hu Kailai, and Deng Chaofan walked into the lobby.

Shi Kaitong is looking at a map of the area around Tung Chung City.

Chen Zhengkang, Hu Kailai, and Deng Chaofan half-knelt: "See the general." ”

Shi Kaitong: "Get up." ”

Three: "Thank you, General." ”

Shi Kaitong: "Falling Star City is lost, what do you three think the imperial court will do next?" ”

Hu Kailai: "General Shi, the last general thinks that the imperial court should take a break." The imperial court has been fighting for so long in the past few days, and the soldiers have long been exhausted, so choosing to rest at this time is the best choice. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Chen Zhengkang, what do you think?" ”

Chen Zhengkang: "General Qiyu, the last general thinks that the imperial court will still adopt the same method as before, conquering one city a day. Today they should have taken Liaoyuan County. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Deng Chaofan, what about you?" ”

Deng Chaofan: "The last general's opinion is similar to Chen Zhengkang's, and the last general also thinks that the imperial court should take Liaoyuan County today." ”

Shi Kaitong: "You tell me, is there anything in Liaoyuan County that is worth the imperial court's action?" ”

Chen Zhengkang: "No. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Is there a natural danger and army that can be defended?" ”

Deng Chaofan: "No. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Then why did the imperial court spend effort to take down such a small county?" ”

Chen Zhengkang: "This, but if you don't take Liaoyuan and go straight to Dongchong City, won't the imperial court suffer from the enemy?" ”

Shi Kaitong: "You underestimate the imperial court, according to reliable reports, the imperial court dispatched 600,000 troops this time, a small county like Liaoyuan County, you can take it down by sending troops at will, so the target of the imperial court today is Dongchong City." ”

Chen Zhengkang: "Tung Chung City? But Falling Star City is a full day away from Tung Chung City, so the imperial court is not afraid that we will sneak attack at night? ”

Shi Kaitong: "Tonight, they will not rest, they should be ambushed, waiting for us to go to the sneak attack, we just do the opposite, we are recuperating in Tung Chung City, and we can lead the tired imperial army to attack us tomorrow." ”

Chen Zhengkang: "What if the army of the imperial court rests?" ”

Shi Kaitong: "Bring yourself into the situation of the imperial army, and you will understand what their most correct choice is." Don't underestimate our opponent this time, Wei Changfeng's prestige, you all know it. It's better to be careful.

Chen Zhengkang: "General, I understand. ”

Shi Kaitong: "In tomorrow's war, what we have to do is to defend in an all-round way and stand on the city wall against the army of the imperial court." Defending the city cost much fewer casualties than besieging it, so even if we only have 230,000 men, we don't have to fear the army of the imperial court. ”

Shi Kaitong continued: "However, in order to make the imperial court tired tonight, I decided to adopt a feint tactic. ”

Chen Zhengkang: "General, how do you feint?" ”

Shi Kaitong: "It's very simple, select soldiers with good riding skills and horses to form rangers. Attack the barracks of the imperial army with rockets. So I'm going to see how much combat power they have tomorrow. ”

Chen Zhengkang: "General Shi's clever plan. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Not only that, but when the imperial army is very tired tomorrow night, that is when we really attack at night." As long as we can cause the army of the imperial court to roar, we will win this war. ”

Deng Chaofan: "The general's strategy is unparalleled. ”

Shi Kaitong: "I'm just a rough man, I have such a good plan, this is what the military advisor thinks." He carefully studied the tactics of the imperial court and came up with such a tactic. ”

Hu Kailai: "It turned out that the military advisor thought about it, and the military advisor was really smart." ”

This strategy is the second strategy made by Xu Ru. Because of the first plan, it is possible that the flooding of the Heavenly Pass has been leaked.

So Xu Ru modified his strategy and turned it into the current tactic.

Shi Kaitong remembered what Xu Ru said to him.

Xu Ru: "General Shi, remember when the rangers attacked the barracks of the imperial army

Wait, no matter what the barracks of the imperial army look like, don't rush in, just harass on the periphery. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Strategist, the last general remembers." ”

Xu Ru continued: "In addition, when attacking the imperial army at night on the second day, if it does not cause a roar in the camp, we must not be greedy for merit and war, and we must immediately withdraw to Tung Chung City. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Strategist, why is this?" ”

Xu Ru: "If the army of the imperial court reacts, it is easy to surround all the soldiers you bring, and in the dark night, without the command of the general, our soldiers may not be able to adapt." If it is surrounded, it is very likely that the whole army will be annihilated. ”

Shi Kaitong: "Strategist, I remember." ”

Xu Ru: "Go to Tung Chung City early, the imperial court is estimated to be there." ”

Shi Kaitong: "Are they so fast?" ”

Xu Ru: "Donglai City, Dongsheng City, Luoxing City, the imperial army conquers one city every day, I estimate that they will directly abandon Liaoyuan County and go straight to Dongchong City." When you go to Tung Chung City, I can rest assured. ”

King of Dongzhou County: "Shi Kaitong, I will hand over Tung Chung City to you, don't let me down." ”

Shi Kaitong: "Lord, Tung Chung City is in me, and Tung Chung City will lose me." ”

Xu Ru: "Dongchong City doesn't have to be lost, you can wait for my news in Dongzhou City." ”

Shi Kaitong: "The last general understands. ”
