Chen Chao didn't plan to kill Liang Chuan, keeping this general of the Chu army might be of great use in the future.

"What's next?"

Hearing this, Chen Chao looked at the female general beside him, hugged his fists and said: "General Meng has been in the army for many years and is an expert in this area, so I should ask you." ”

Meng Changge pouted and glanced at Chen Chao.

Speaking of which, this guy gasped.

"Really, what's next? General Meng, please advise. ”

In fact, Chen Chao already had follow-up plans in his heart, but he wanted to listen to Meng Changge's opinion first.

Meng Changge frowned, thought for a moment, and said:

"In that case, I'll share my opinion."

Chen Chao nodded, unable to ask for it.

Meng Changge said seriously:

"Now, the army of bandits who rescued Pingyang Valley has been wiped out, this news has reached Chu Kang's ears, with Chu Kang's steady and cautious temperament, before he finds out the situation, he will never send troops to the rescue, take advantage of this opportunity, our army gathers all its forces and goes all out to attack Pingyang Valley, as long as the grain and grass in the valley are in the hands of our army, Chu Kang will be defeated without a fight!"

"No!" Chen Chao immediately opened his mouth and shook his head, "Remember what I just said?" It is necessary to attack its unpreparedness and avoid its elite. ”

"Pingyang Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if our army forcibly attacks, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses. I propose to attack the Qingshui River and completely cut off the Chu Kang grain route. ”

"Attack the Qingshui River?"

Meng Changge looked at Chen Chao and fell into a state of confusion. Chu Kang didn't have time to rescue Pingyang Valley because the road was far away, but it was only one step away from the Qingshui River, if he attacked the Qingshui River at this time, Chu Kang would return to the division to rescue, if he didn't knock down the Qingshui River before Chu Kang came, what should he do?

Chen Chao looked at Meng Changge and said confidently: "So, this battle must be resolved quickly!" ”

Seeing that Meng Changge was still in a state of confusion, Chen Chao explained: "It's not to completely defeat the Qingshui River, we just need to empty the riverbank on one side and confront the enemy across the bank!" ”

Chen Chao's decision shattered the cognition she had!

If this is the case, Pingyang Valley will really become an isolated island, completely surrounded by our army.

The army that is besieging the city in front of Chu Kang will be cut off from food and grass from now on, and our army will win without a fight!

"Got it?"

Chen Chao raised his finger lightly and tapped Meng Changge's forehead a few times.

Meng Changge stretched out his hand and rubbed the place where Chen Chao had been beaten, blinked his dark and beautiful eyes, and nodded slowly: "Understood, but I still have one more question, what if the bandits in Pingyang Valley know that our army is a feint attack and counterattack?" Then we will be attacked in front of and behind. ”

"I can't ask for it!"

Chen Chao said with a smile: "Pingyang Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if they dare to come out and fight us head-on, with Xu Biao's frontal strength, they will definitely crush them!" ”

If the guard of Pingyang Valley is a smart person, he will definitely not come out.

There is grain and grass in the valley, and it occupies a favorable geographical position, and the energy consumption is very long!

They just need to sit back and wait for Chu Kang to rescue!

Soon, the Chen Dynasty led people to clear the surviving bandits and Chu troops in the Hukou Gorge, and Meng Changge came out, and the 3,000 Chu troops at the entrance of the Hukou Gorge were also scattered by the 5,000 lancers led by Murong Chong, and only a few people fled back.

"General Murong, are you going to attack Qingshui River?"

Murong Chong was having a good time, his spear was stained with blood, he used to hide behind the bandits and didn't dare to meet the enemy head-on, but now he can finally fight a rich battle, and he can't ask for it.

"Go with you!"

.....

.....

At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood.

The defenders of Pingyi City lowered their heads in the setting sun, silently cleaning up the corpses of enemy soldiers and compatriots on the city walls.

The corpses of the enemy were all thrown down from the city, doused with fire oil, and burned in a fire, while the corpses of their compatriots were carried back to the city, covered with white cloth, and sent back to their hometowns after the battle.

The militiamen carried their weapons on their backs to the top of the city and stepped up to repair the walls of the city that had been smashed by catapults and replenish the rolling stones and wood.

Today's battle is more fierce than ever.

I don't know how long this city can be held.

Zhou Mi held the blood-stained helmet in his arms and inspected the situation at the head of the city.

This veteran general, who has fought for Daji all his life, has bloodshot eyes, chapped lips, and is already extremely weak, and may be planted headlong in the next moment.

Zhou Mi silently watched this road with a heavy heart, stopped at the wall, and the whole person was bathed in the bloody sunset, becoming more and more lonely.

"How many people are we losing?"

Standing behind him is Zhou Mi's sister-in-law, Zhou Feng, Zhou Feng has gauze wrapped around his head, and was discovered by the enemy's crossbowmen when he was commanding the battle in the city today, and an arrow almost killed him, but fortunately it was only a bruise.

"More than 10,000 people, this group of bitches raised things, this time they attacked the city, and they attacked so fiercely on the first day, and they didn't know what medicine they took wrong." Zhou Feng grinned, revealing an ugly smile.

Zhou Mi sighed and said: "There will be more deaths tomorrow, Chu Kang is consuming our troops, and when their reinforcements from the Three Thousand Gorges arrive, we will not be able to hold it." ”

Zhou Mi knew what Chu Kang was thinking, Chu Kang's attack on the city was so fierce at the beginning, he just wanted to exchange the lives of the bandits with the soldiers of Daji, and when the regular army of Chu in the Three Thousand Gorges arrived here, he would use the most elite troops in his hand to break the city of the regular army of Chu!

At that time, the officers and soldiers of Daji had experienced days of hard fighting, and they had long been exhausted, and nothing could stop these regular troops of the Chu State.

Hearing this, Zhou Feng couldn't laugh anymore, he looked at his father: "I don't know what happened to the army on the northern front?" As long as they eat Pingyang Valley, we will still have a chance to breathe. ”

Zhou Mi was silent for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "Their situation is not easier than ours, and the place in Pingyang Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack....."

After a pause, Zhou Mi did not continue.

Suddenly, Zhou Feng frowned and looked into the distance.

He found that the enemy army was retreating very abnormally, and the enemy army had retreated too far.

Zhou Mi also found out, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Enemy, which one is this playing?

Aren't you going to attack the city tomorrow?

Why do you do so far?

At this moment, Zhou Mi's lieutenant hurriedly led a messenger to the city wall, and came to Zhou Mi: "Marshal, there is news from the army on the northern front." ”

"Oh?"

Zhou Mi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested and looked at the herald.

Whether Chen Chao succeeds or not, he wants to hear the results, and he has a preparation in his heart.

The messenger stepped forward, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "Return to the commander!" The Hukou Gorge was victorious, killing 30,000 enemies, including 10,000 regular troops of the Chu State. ”

On the city wall, for a time it became smelly of fallen leaves.

Hearing this, the soldiers all stopped their movements, and they all turned their heads to look this way, with a shocked expression!

Today, he defended the city and barely killed more than 20,000 bandits, why did the army on the northern front kill 30,000 at once? And there are also 10,000 regular troops of the Chu State!

Zhou Feng stepped forward and grabbed the herald's collar and threatened: "Do you know that this is on the battlefield, and lying about the military situation is a big crime of killing your head!" ”

The herald was neither humble nor arrogant: "The subordinates did not lie about the military situation, our army ambushed the enemy army who came to support Pingyang Valley in Hukou Gorge, and with the help of geographical advantages, using rolling stones and sassaches, cut 30,000 enemies!" ”

Before the messenger finished speaking, he continued: "After the great victory in Hukou Gorge, our army quickly captured the north bank of the Qingshui River, and killed nearly 8,000 enemies, completely cutting off the enemy's food route! ”

Zhou Mi deserved to be a veteran, and he was the first to react, patted the city wall, and shouted: "Okay!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Daji soldiers on the city wall, who had just experienced a day of fierce fighting, suddenly exploded, and they shouted excitedly, raising their arms and shouting.
