Yunzhou, Pingyi City.

The desolate cries of the eagles echoed in the sky, and they circled tirelessly in the sky, high and far.

At the head of Pingyi City, the Daji soldier held the weapon in his arms, drooping his head, and a captain guarding the city raised his throat, poured a mouthful of cold water, and immediately scolded and said: "Look at your current bear appearance, are you still my Daji soldier?" Our Pingyi City has not broken the city, let's defend it, take out your momentum, next time we can still hold here! Bandits of dog days, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Our army on the northern front has won a great victory, killing tens of thousands of bandits, do you know what that means? It means that they will be able to come to support us immediately, and our pressure will be much less, you hanging egg men hurry up and stand up for Lao Tzu and lift your spirits! ”

The lieutenant raised his arms and waved his fists in an attempt to boost morale.

"But... The Three Thousand Gorges is gone, our 20,000 brothers are dead, and more and more regular troops of the Chu State will come. One of the soldiers whispered.

The captain's face instantly fell, and he sat silently at the head of the city, not speaking again for a long time.

Yes, although the northern front was victorious, the southern front was defeated.

Fiasco!

The tens of thousands of regular troops of the Chu State in the Three Thousand Gorges will rush over to attack Pingyi City non-stop, even if the northern front wins a complete victory? There are just bandits there, how can the combat power be compared to the regular army of the Chu State?

This time, the state of Chu was iron-hearted, and he pounced on the bandits in Yunzhou, wanting to turn Yunzhou upside down.

It's hard to say whether Pingyi City will live or not.

Meanwhile.

To the west of Pingyi City, less than fifty miles, there are two mountain ranges.

The mountain is steep, and the strange rocks on the mountain are craggy, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The two mountains are in the corner, and there is a huge flat land in the middle, called Pingyang Valley, which stores a large amount of grain and grass for bandits.

The army of bandits attacking Pingyi City, most of the grain and grass needed were supplied by Pingyang Valley.

It can be said that as long as the grain and grass in the grain are burned, the danger of Pingyi City will be solved, and the bandits will retreat without a fight.

However, before the start of the war, the bandits stationed a large number of men and horses in the valley, and countless fortresses and watchtowers were built on the mountains on both sides, and the difficulty of breaking through the Pingyang Valley was comparable to climbing to the sky.

Besides, Pingyang Valley is not far from the army of bandits in front, and if the bandit support is fast, it will arrive in less than an hour.

Don't be able to burn the grain and grass when the time comes, and you will be flanked by the bandit army in front and back, in that case, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Chen Chao and Meng Changge rushed to the battlefield of Pingyi City at noon today.

Before they had time to rest for a while, the generals of the Changsheng Army, who had rushed to the battlefield in advance, hurriedly came over to see the Chen Dynasty.

After all, Chen Chao is their main general!

How this battle should be fought, the generals have to listen to Chen Chao.

Today, the Chen Dynasty has a total of 60,000 troops, most of which are sent by the cities on the northern front to support Pingyi City, not the descendants of the Chen Dynasty.

"Changge, you said that I am not very qualified, and I will be the supreme commander when I come, can they listen to my dispatch?" Chen Chao asked.

The Chang Shengjun can not worry at all, after all, it was brought out single-handedly, and it is absolutely obedient to the order, and the three thousand Qin army crossbowmen can also be deployed as they want, because of Meng Changge.

But for the rest of the army, Chen Chao had no bottom in his heart.

In case on the battlefield, those generals don't listen to their commands, aren't they blind?

You can't rely on the Changsheng army and the Qin army's crossbowmen in your hands, far less than 10,000 people, to support Pingyi City head-on.

"Don't worry, you win more with less in Yongguan, defeat 50,000 bandits and 50,000 troops, and support other cities along the way, no one will disobey you."

Meng Changge said again: "Besides, what you are worried about, can't the lord of Pingyi City think of? If the expectation is good, this old marshal of Zhou of your Daji will send a prison guard to assist you. ”

Hearing that there was a double guarantee, Chen Chao put his mind at ease for the time being.

"The last general, You Zhong, participate in General Chen!"

While the two were talking, dozens of generals had already come to pay their respects, kneeling down on one knee, some of whom knew and some of whom did not.

"General You, please get up quickly."

Chen Chao personally helped this person up, although he didn't know who this goods were, but he could see that this goods were led by this group of people before he came.

At this time, Li Sandao trotted to Chen Chao's side and introduced the identities of the generals, especially this You Zhong general, who was correct as Meng Changge had predicted, it was the supervisor sent by Zhou Mi to assist Chen Chao in managing the 60,000 army.

After exchanging politeness, Chen Chao led the generals into the tent and held the first pre-war meeting.

Chen Chao sat in the first place, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Which general, can you tell me about the current situation in Pingyi City."

"General Hui, at present, Pingyi City has gathered a total of more than 300,000 bandit troops, among the bandit army, there are 60,000 regular troops of the Chu State, while our army only has 200,000, in terms of equipment, our army is also completely disadvantaged, can only defend the city, the enemy army has many large siege equipment, such as siege crossbows and catapults, the number has almost reached two hundred..."

"In addition, the southern line of the three thousand gorges lost, our 20,000 soldiers were martyred collectively, the southern line of a total of 70,000 bandits, more than half of which are the regular army of the Chu State, is along the way to the north, less than half a month, you can reach Pingyi City, then Pingyi City is the enemy on both sides, whether it is the number or combat power, our side occupies an absolute disadvantage."

You Zhong had already prepared and skillfully explained the current situation.

Hearing this, everyone in the tent frowned, only to feel that the battle situation was not optimistic.

After listening to the introduction, Chen Chao gave a few simple instructions and told the generals to go back and prepare.

Three days later, the battle plan was opened, and as for what the plan was, Chen Chao did not say.

When all the generals you don't know go out, the rest of the people in the tent will be much easier.

The rest of the generals were all from the victorious army.

When they saw their own general, they were happy for no reason.

"The general has been so late for so long, what kind of help has it brought to our victorious army?" Li Sandao asked impatiently, and the other captains also widened their eyes and were curious.

Chen Chao took a sip of water and pushed Meng Changge beside him to the front of the people: "There were a lot of people just now, some words are not easy to say, now the tent is full of their own brothers, this general is so late for so many days, naturally bring help, this is General Meng, she brought three thousand Qin army crossbowmen to assist us in the battle, in the future, the crossbowmen of the whole army will be commanded by General Meng, you don't have any opinions, right?" ”

Meng Changge stood up and hugged his fists to everyone, which was regarded as a greeting.

In Yongguan, who doesn't know Meng Changge?

came over every once in a while, and everyone knew that this female general of the Qin State was fierce in battle.

Hearing that Meng Changge and the three thousand Qin army crossbowmen had joined the battle, they couldn't close their mouths with joy.

The three thousand crossbowmen of the Qin army, don't look at the small number of people, but they are worth 10,000 crossbowmen in the Great Era.

"General Meng, I'm glad to be there!"

The generals stood up and clenched their fists and said happily.

There is only one exception, that is Li Sandao, he is the captain of the bow and arrow battalion of the Changsheng Army, and when Meng Changge came, he was considered to have robbed him of his job.

If this was the case sooner rather than later, he shouldn't have asked this.

Self-inflicted.

But now that everyone is a family, compared to a bow and crossbow, he naturally can't defeat the Qin army, and he is willing to bow to the wind, which can be regarded as convincing.
