Chapter 128: Where Are the People in the City?

"On the Qin army's side, how many men and horses are there?"

The herald knelt outside the tent and replied tremblingly: "I don't know how many people there are, but I can't say less than four or five thousand!" ”

Four or five thousand!

Hearing this, Yao Wu and many bandit generals breathless.

In the tent, there was a deathly silence.

If there is any country in the world that has the most courageous army and the strongest combat power?

Qin Jun dared to say second, but no one dared to call it first.

Today, four or five thousand Qin troops are fully armed, with strong bows and crossbows, all displayed on the north bank of the Yonghe River.

Yao Wu only felt that he was being choked by the neck and couldn't breathe.

"Dashuai, give me 20,000 horses, and I will destroy the Qin army." A young general who didn't know how powerful the Qin army was said with his fists clenched.

"Are you crazy!"

"Don't be handsome!"

The other generals stopped one after another, looked at Yao Wu, and said: "The Qin army is strong in bows and crossbows, and before we get close, we will have to lose more than half, and we must not start a war with the Qin army at this time." Now, the true intentions of the Qin army are not known, and the other party has no intention of fighting, it may be to prevent our army from crossing the border. ”

"As long as we don't cross the line, we can get along well."

"That's right, the only way to do it now is ......"

The generals were talking nonsense, and Yao Wu waved his hand after hearing this, and ordered:

"Pass the order, each battalion strictly restrains its subordinates, and without an order, they are not allowed to approach the Yonghe."

"At the same time, the second and fifth battalions of the infantry, the first battalion of the cavalry, and the first and fourth battalions of the bow and arrow battalion will be assembled immediately and stationed on the south bank of the Yong River to prevent the Qin army from crossing the river at any time!"

As Yao Wu gave the order, the camp tent was instantly lively and action-oriented.

The commanders of the battalions were ordered to do it immediately.

After the generals left, only Yao Wu and his staff remained.

"Marshal, isn't it too cautious to send so many troops to guard against the Qin army? In case the Yongguan defenders take the opportunity to break through from the encirclement......"

Yao Wu waved his hand and interrupted the staff's words:

"You haven't seen the power of the Qin army, I think back then, when I was a small grass in Yunzhou, I had the honor to see the Qin army's arrow array...... Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, like a dark cloud, and there was nowhere to escape, and I will never forget that picture for the rest of my life. ”

"Don't look at the fact that we have sent so many people, in fact, in the eyes of the Qin army, they are not vulnerable at all!"

"As long as they want to, we can't stop them at all!"

There was only deep worry and trepidation in Yao Wu's eyes.

If the Qin army enters the war, the consequences will be unimaginable!

At the same time, when Meng Changge was sitting on a high slope and was showing off his newly acquired treasure binoculars to his subordinates, he caught a glimpse of the bandit army on the other side of the river that had undergone a considerable change.

The guards automatically stood in a row in front of Meng Changge, holding shields in their hands to guard against the cold arrows fired by the other party.

After all, Meng Changge is too close to the riverbank.

"General, the other party has increased its troops." Defend the road.

The telescope is carefully packed into a cloth bag, fastened and hung around the waist.

Meng Changge stood up, stretched out his hand to pat the dust on his armor, stretched out his hand to remove the guards in front of him, and stopped to look over.

When you see the dense bandits on the other side, there are all kinds of troops.

Meng Changge chuckled, and then ordered: "Pass the order, if the opponent steps into the Yonghe River with his left foot, he will shoot his left foot, and if he steps into the river with his right foot, he will shoot with his right foot." ”

……

……

Outside the city, there were bandit corpses everywhere, with stumps and broken arms, and blood stained the ground red and muddy.

In Yongguan City, there was jubilation, and the Changsheng army fought a great victory with a huge numerical disadvantage, and both the lieutenants and ordinary soldiers were happy to jump up on the spot.

They looked at the majestic figure at the head of the city, and their eyes were full of worship!

After all, before that, bandits had always been the myth of Yunzhou's undefeated.

Although a few days ago, one hundred battles and three hundred, captured the bandit leader Fu Hu alive, and killed a wave of bandits, but that battle was far less hearty than this battle.

Fifty thousand bandits attacked the city, and the bandits even used huge siege crossbows, and as a result, the beaten people turned on their backs and suffered heavy losses.

The corpses of the bandits outside the city added up to almost twice as many as the victorious army.

In this way, every soldier has two military merits!

They couldn't have imagined these before!

Moreover, the number of casualties on your side is so small that it can almost be ignored!

It's nothing short of a miracle!

"The general is mighty! The general is mighty! ”

Inside the city, thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.

The sound spread through the sky and reached the bandit camp outside the city.

Chen Chao stood at the head of the city facing the soldiers, pressed his hand down with a smile, and said a few words to boost morale, then turned back to the city tower.

Now, he has more important things to do.

As the commander of the first army, he can't just be happy, he has to arrange the next battle, or even the next one.

The captains came in with their shoulders hooked, and when they saw Chen Chao, they hurriedly returned to their original ways and bowed their hands, and then sat down in turn.

The battalions reported casualties, as well as supplies!

After listening, Chen Chao took a cup of hot tea handed over by Ning Baizhi, took a sip, and then said:

"The situation is a bit bad, our army's ordnance is costly, the bow battalion has no arrows available, if the enemy attacks the city again, it will be a white-knuckle battle!"

Xu Biao stood up and clenched his fists, his eyes widened angrily, and he said in a deep voice:

"General, I'm already ready to die for the country, and I'm in the city!"

Xu Biao's words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.

The other lieutenants stood up one after another and shouted:

"People are in the city!"

"People are dead, and cities are dead!"

Even if the victorious army fought to the last soldier, they would have to defend the city.

When Chen Chao heard this, he rubbed his head and said unexpectedly:

"General Ben doesn't want to die for his country, and he doesn't want to die in this small border city."

Forehead......

Captains, look at me, I'll look at you.

Scratching your head.

Chen Chao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "They were all born to their parents, they have wives and children, what a pity to die here." ”

The lieutenants were silent.

How did the general say what was in his heart?

Chen Chaoke didn't care about this, after saying it, he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and he had a lot of insights in these days when he came to Yongguan.

When a person dies, everything is empty.

Besides, Chen Chao is now a winner in life, the prime minister of Daji, his status is supreme, and the taste of those women around him, Chen Chao has not tasted enough.

That's why this man, it's important to be alive.

"Now, the situation is a bit unexpected for us, so we have to change our strategy." Chen Chaodao.

The lieutenants listened.

The anti-enemy strategy before Yongguan was to defend Yongguan, for which the Yongguan city wall was rebuilt, and specially borrowed enough grain and grass from the Qin army for three months, as long as the number of bandits was not particularly large, this city would definitely be able to hold it.

However, the number of bandits who have come to attack Yongguan now is far beyond everyone's expectations, and tens of thousands of bandits have attacked the city one after another, and it is difficult to say whether this city can be defended or not.

Chen Chao looked at the lieutenant and said in a deep voice:

"Now, we have two options."

"One, stick to Yongguan, fight to the death and never retreat! There is still grain and grass borrowed from the friendly Sifeng Gate in Yongguan City, which is enough to support the use of March, as long as we desperately defend it, the bandits will not be able to attack for a long time, and they will naturally retreat, but I am afraid that our side will suffer heavy losses, and there will be no one in ten. ”

"Second, General Ben has a plan to flood the bandits here, if you succeed, you will die if you die, but after the fact, the winning army is a big victory!"

"Everyone, are you willing to fight with General Ben to survive?"

The lieutenants gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and engaged in a psychological struggle!

Suddenly, a deep burst of shouting rang out in the room.

Xu Biao's body like a mountain stood up suddenly, hugged his fists and said:

"Subordinate, willing to follow the general!"

Before three seconds passed, Li Sandao also stood up:

"Subordinate, willing to follow the general!"

The other lieutenants glanced at each other, their hearts were surging, and they stood up in unison:

"Subordinate, willing to follow the general!"

Chen Chao showed a pleased smile on his face, pressed down on his hand, and immediately began to order:

"Captain Li."

"The subordinates are here!"

Three knives out of the ranks.

"I command that within five days of your bow and arrow camp you shall make three hundred rafts, and that the necessary timber shall be made of the same trees that you had cut down in the dense forests outside the city when you first came, and if they are not enough, you shall tear down the planks of the houses in the city, and make sure that the rafts are tied, and the more the better."

"Subordinates obey!"

Although he didn't know what the use of the raft was, Li Sandao still did it, and now he only looked at the horse.

"Captain Xu." Chen Chao looked at Xu Biao again.

"The subordinates are here!"

Xu Biao is out of the ranks.

"Order your sword and shield battalion to provoke the bandits in the north of the city every day, create the illusion that our victorious army wants to break through from the north gate, and attract most of the bandits' troops to the north city gate and the banks of the Yonghe River!"

"Subordinates obey!"

After Xu Biao sat down, Chen Chao looked at the other captains: "Rank!" ”

All the lieutenants stood up in unison, and their movements were uniform: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"I have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, splendid and picturesque, but now I am disturbed by the little bandits, what should I do?"

"Kill the bandits!"

"Kill the bandits!"

"Kill the bandits!"

The lieutenants shouted three times in unison.
