Chapter 620: Offense instead of Defense

Shaogui, Junshun, Fusang army only and Sangzhen, the forward Tanma is coming towards Suzhou City!. On the ruined eastern city wall of Suzhou City, under a temporary wooden shed, Dian Wei jumped off the saber-toothed beast and went straight to the wooden shed, facing a few people in the shed.

"Well, I know, let's go down and rest!" Leng Zhuo said, glanced at the increasingly gloomy weather outside, turned his head, and said to Zhuge Liang beside him, Zhou Yu: "It seems that there is going to be rain this day!"

Zhuge Liang arrived two days ago, and he also took Tai Shici and the guards of the first battalion, but because it was in Yangzhou, the people in this battalion were scattered and arrived one after another, and they were also dressed in non-courtyard clothes. >Zhuge Liang took the feather fan, stood up, rode to the wooden shed, looked at the black and oppressive dark clouds, and said: "There may be a heavy rainstorm in the ride, but it's a little troublesome!"

Zhuge Liang is talking about glancing at the broken city wall of Suzhou City, the broken city gate building, although a large number of people were mobilized to repair it, but because the damage is too serious, and there are few mountains and stones near Suzhou, it can only be demolished to repair the edge, so the project has been carried out for two days, but it is still not half completed.

According to the records of Suzhou County, between August in Suzhou, except for a few years, there will be seven to 15 days of rain in August, and most of them are downpours, and the water of Jingyue Lake rises and flows back to Suzhou City! Zhou Yu has been in Suzhou for more than a year, reading countless books, and the county chronicles are also the fastest way to understand a place.

"If it rains, the Fuso army should not attack the city on a large scale, but there are a large number of ninjas in the Fuso army, and in this and the weather, they can play a greater role!

"How far is the Yangzhou army to arrive?" Leng Zhuo frowned, now in Suzhou City, there are not many soldiers and horses stationed, Zhou Yu's water camp, plus the guards who came one after another, there are also three or four hundred, and the defenders hiding in the city are also bubbling, but the number is only six hundred, and they are all unprepared, and there is not much combat effectiveness.

There are a lot of colleges around Suzhou City, but this Yangzhou boundary wants to emphasize literature and light martial arts, and the more prosperous the place, the more serious this sign is, Suzhou City has more than 100 colleges, there is only one government college without a soldier branch, and the number of students did not exceed 800, and in these 800 miles, because most of the Suzhou City was scattered before, within two days, Zhang Luo came over not 300 people, but it was extremely disappointing.

In the end, Leng Zhuo had to mobilize the wealthy families in the city to gather the family courtyard, and then he gathered another 3,000 to fight, but even so, there were only less than 8,000 defenders in Suzhou City, and if these soldiers and horses were replaced by the Taiping Period, it would be more than enough, and there was surplus, but in the face of the upcoming Fusang army, it seemed a little pitiful.

Suzhou City has a strong city defense, and if it is defended by the city, usually one defender is enough to withstand more than five siege soldiers, of course, this is the person of Suzhou City under normal circumstances. The area of the big city of more than one million is too large, and Leng Zhuo's 8,000 patrols are acceptable, but if you want to deploy defenses on the whole line, it is impossible to defend Suzhou City without 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Once the Fusang people divided their troops into several ways and attacked Suzhou City, and there were ninjas to take the lead, this city wall was not the same, there were loopholes everywhere, if it was good weather, there were many holes, but there could always be one. The role of vigilance, but if it rains, with the help of the rain curtain, even if the Fusang people attack the city, Leng Zhuo and they will not leave

Passive!

"There are at least two days to go, but if the striker is advanced, he should be able to arrive before the evening!" Although Yangzhou City is operating with unprecedented efficiency, there are not many soldiers and horses stationed near Yangzhou City, most of the Yangzhou Corps stationed in Yangzhou Prefecture, Taicang Prefecture, and Songjiang Mansion are transferred to Qingzhou, and the remaining soldiers and horses are stationed in three places, and Yangzhou City now has only one incomplete division stationed.

It takes a lot of time just to gather soldiers and horses, and in view of the crisis of the situation, the four families also convened the big families in the city to gather people, this process is not repeated, in short, don't look at the Yangzhou transfer of troops, enough to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, not to mention the combat effectiveness, can only rush to Suzhou City in time is very few, and this rain, it is estimated that it will have to be dragged back.

Zhuge Liang said that he was a little unconvinced, before he came to Suzhou, but he stopped in Yangzhou, at that time Yangzhou City was boiling, gathering soldiers and horses, but he arrived in Suzhou for two days, and there was no shadow of the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou City.

Especially in Germanium County, Taicang Prefecture, which is the closest to Suzhou, but after receiving the order, it was thunderous and rainy, and now the reinforcements have not crossed the border of Taicang Prefecture, which is enough to explain the problem.

"I can't count on this reinforcement!" Although Leng Zhuo didn't think too much of the Yangzhou soldiers and horses, but he could only see the reality clearly in times of crisis, the Yangzhou soldiers and horses had already been rotten from the sharp to the bones, and the combat power was low, even the generals were soft bones, and they didn't have any responsibility, no wonder the Fusang Kuo army was only a few days, and it actually swept through the three counties of Suzhou Prefecture, countless cities, and towns fell.

"Is there any other way, this Suzhou City is also very important to us, if we give up, we can't find such a good opportunity!" Leng Zhuo is paving the way, paving the way for Zhou Yu As long as he can hold Suzhou City, this great achievement is ironclad, with Wu Chang in front, Zhou Yu is no problem to be promoted to two or three levels, and then he will be able to justifiably expand the army and recruit troops and expand Leng Zhuo's influence in Yangzhou.

"It's not advisable to hold on, we only have 8,000 people in full battle, these 8,000 people are not even, it is almost impossible to hold Suzhou City, and before the battle with the Fusang people, the combat power of these people is much higher than our soldiers, one-on-one has almost no chance of winning, if the number does not prevail, it is also a few times less than the other party, if it is to defend a county, there are still a few possibilities, but Suzhou is ...... It's too big!"

Zhou Yu thought for a long time and didn't find a factor that can win the city, there are few soldiers, the city is big, the people's hearts are uneven, the combat power is low, and the city defense is not complete, although there are a few generals such as the young master, but just look at the red devil giant, you know that the people must have a killer feature, as for the reinforcements, once it rains, it is still a question whether they can arrive, so defending the city must not be taken

"If you can't defend, you can only attack!" Zhuge Liang on the side also followed what Zhou Yu said: "Attacking instead of defending, as long as the enemy is stung and covered by a rain curtain, so that he doesn't know our strength and doesn't dare to move rashly, he may be able to survive." ”

Leng Zhuo exhaled in a big gulp. Qi, calmed down a little, and said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to attack instead of defending, now go and prepare soldiers and horses, and when the rain falls, we will set off!"

Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao, Taishan North Branch, Tai'an Mansion, a caravan with more than a dozen carts marching on the official road, more than a dozen carts are really inconspicuous, a little rich family can get it, but the guard force next to these dozen carts is as many as more than 100, which is a bit eye-catching.

Three miles outside the eastern suburbs of Xiguancheng, several official roads gather here, and on both sides of this official road, there are many tea shops and big car shops for people to rest and spend the night.

"Husband, let's rest here today, and then we will go to Xishui City!" Fang Dan'er lowered the curtain and turned her head to Zhang Liangdao, who was looking at the book:

Zhang Liang nodded, Fang Dan'er and his party are old bandits after all, and it would be nothing if they were left alone and mixed into the city, but now the team of more than 100 people can find out that something is wrong when they are checked, so along the way, they almost go around the city, at most stop in some towns.

"The big car shop here is set up by our cottage, just go and ask for news!"

Since someone went up to contact, soon the group was put into the backyard of the big car shop, but Zhang Liang entered the main room of the courtyard with Fang Dan, and before he sat on the warm chair, a thin and tall man entered the main hall, saluted Fang Dan'er, and said: "Xiao Mufeng meets the chief villager!"

"Uncle Xiao doesn't need to be so polite, you are from the same line as Xiao ......Zhai? ,!”

"Hehe, it's a cousin in the five suits, but I've been away from the cottage for decades!

"I didn't pull it, I accompanied my husband down the mountain to relax, I happened to pass by, and when I saw my own storefront, I came in, and by the way, I came to ask for some news!"

Xiao Mufeng heard this, but he bowed his hand to Zhang Liang, which was polite, but he didn't take Zhang Liangtai seriously, although he was not in the cottage, but he still knew a lot about the things on the cottage, after all, he had to contact the cottage every month: "If the owner of the village has anything to ask, I naturally know everything!"

"Well, I heard along the way that Dijing sent the general Bai Qi to lead the army south, do you know where they are stationed now?"

"The owner of the village is talking about the killing god Bai Qi!" Xiao Mufeng was stunned, and said: "How can the chief village master ask others! That is a murderous lord who does not blink, I heard that he led more than 10,000 people into the imperial capital, but let the imperial capital flow into a river of blood, tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and now he is holding the military power, and the new emperor is deeply relied on, this is not a character we can provoke!"

"The husband said that he knew this general, and he wanted to take refuge this time, but I couldn't resist it!"

Xiao Mufeng looked at Zhang Liang again, his gaze was different, knowing that killing god, this person is not simple, and looking at the meaning of the chief village master, there should be a deep meaning in it.

"This Baiqi army is now stationed in Anyang County, but it has not continued to go south!"

"These soldiers and horses are not very good!" Tong Jie followed behind his cousin and future cousin-in-law in the outskirts of Dijing Mountain, and watched more than 10,000 people gather in the school field. I couldn't help but pout.

Tong Yue also frowned, and said: "Didn't you say that there is only one brigade of recruits, and the remaining two brigades are not old brigades, how can this brother be virtuous!"

The military official who was responsible for leading the three people to receive the soldiers and horses smiled, and said: "The brigade is indeed old, and the people are also veterans, but it depends on what it looks like, the Third Forbidden Army was almost wiped out outside the Saiwai, and most of the soldiers and horses are new recruits, but these soldiers are all coming down from the battlefield and have seen blood, but the training time is short, so this rule is a little worse!"

Zhao Yun swept the bottom, as if to verify what the official said, and after sweeping around, he said, "Let's go through the formalities now, is there a limit to the time to go south?"

"Si, the military department means that it will go south within two days, and General Bai Qi is now waiting for the gathering of troops and horses from all walks of life in Anyang, and there is not enough time!" (To be continued.)
