Humane Yongchang

Chapter 346 Fishing in troubled waters
"Clang clang clang..."

In the rushing sound of gold, [-] red-clothed soldiers withdrew like a tide.

The clamorous cheers, scuffles, and scoldings from the towering city head were like a big fight on the face of every red-clothed soldier.

Beat them in a fit of rage.

But helpless.

The city walls of Luoyi are really too high!
A full nine feet and five!
This height is enough to make all their past siege methods invalid.

And the many siege weapons they had made temporarily could not even reach the parapet above the city.

"General Li, this battle can't be fought like this again!"

Chen Dao noticed the gradually declining morale of his subordinates, and anxiously found Li Xin, who was commanding the army, and said.

Li Xin straddled another high-headed horse, twisting a dark spear and a pair of bloodshot bull's eyes, staring blankly at the boiling city.

"Then how do you fight?"

Li Xin squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, and the crazy meaning in his eyes made Chen Dao feel scared!
Chen Dao shook his head: "I don't know how to fight, but I definitely can't fight like this again. Our army is the king's own army, and the casualties are too heavy, you and I can't explain it!"

"Since you can't think of any other way, just follow a certain method!"

Li Xin rudely rejected Chen Dao's proposal: "If Your Majesty is held accountable, all the consequences will be borne by a certain family!"

As he said that, he raised the spear in his hand and issued an order to siege the city again!

"Then my mother's is the matter that Xiao Wang pursues!"

Chen Dao was a little angry, grabbed the spear in Chen Sheng's hand with one hand, and pointed at the taciturn Xiaojun above with the other: "You are also a veteran of the battlefield, do you understand the principle of making one move, failing again, and exhausting eight? He looks at it. How many more rounds can we hold on? Your Red Army is famous for defeat, did you teach him to get Luoyi and lose it?"

Chen Sheng clenched his steel teeth tightly, and struggled for a long time with blue veins all over his head, before he cocked his mouth and spit out a bloodshot spit, roaring loudly: "Luoyi is right in front of you, if you can attack and retreat, teach the heavens. Everyone listens to the voice of my Red Army's 'Prince and General Xiang Ning has no seeds', even if a certain family dies, it will be closed!"

Chen Dao looked at me in amazement.

That was the first time I knew that Chen Sheng did not surrender to Han because he was greedy for life and fear of death...

"Don't slow him down, calm down and think about my own way!"

Chen Dao let go of Chen Sheng's spear, turned his head to look at this majestic beast that was quietly crawling under the plain, and muttered to himself: "Little Wang once said that there are always fewer ways than it is, he you When you calm down, you can always think of a way to break Luoyi!"

"How is someone trying to think of a clever way to calm down, but Can Zhou will give him time to think of it!"

Chen Sheng let go of his spear, and said helplessly: "According to the reports from the scouts in the army and the secret agents of the Special Operations Bureau, there are at least 17 Can Zhou reinforcements on the way. He and you are alone. Supplies, and the food and grass we brought are enough for eight days, and if we break the city again, he and your two divisions, [-] brothers Paozhe, will all be buried here!"

Perhaps in the eyes of others, I, Chen Sheng, had a bad luck, and I happened to touch Luoyi City by accident.

But in fact, only I know how much effort I put into that plan.

From the marching route, the marching time, the quantity and type of food, grass and luggage, to the time of the enemy's support...

Every link, I have done careful deduction and planning!

And it turns out that my hard work was in vain!

Our [-] soldiers and horses did successfully retreat from the border of Yingchuan and Sizhou to the hinterland of Gyeonggi, and it was not until the Luocang checkpoint that their tracks were finally revealed.

But even if it is exposed, it is within my estimation!
The only thing I missed is the city defense of Luoyi!
It has never been told that Luoyi's city is as low as four feet seven!
Then my mother is a city that people can build?

"Reinforcement..."

Chen Dao recited those two words aloud, racking his brains to find a way out.

As the lieutenant general of the [-] small army, of course I knew that the reinforcements from the Wuzhou Dynasty were coming over there.

Just like Chen Sheng, I was full of thoughts on how to break through Luoyi, slaughter the Spring and Autumn Palace, pull this Wei Wang Jilie out, and slash my dog's head with a knife.

But now it is desirable to attack weakly, and if we want to break the game, I am afraid that our soldiers and horses will really be buried here!
I am afraid of death.

But I want to bring those [-] soldiers back to Chen County!

'If Xiao Lang was here, how would I break the game? '

After racking his brains and still getting something, Chen Dao tried to find some guidance from Li Xin's past tactics.

I have personally participated in Li Xin's formulation of various strategies against the enemy, and I have no understanding of some of Li Xin's playing methods.

"Could there be a marching route for the Wu disabled Zhou reinforcements?"

After knowing for a long time, Chen Dao suddenly asked.

Chen Sheng was stunned for a while, then turned his head and whispered: "Come here, take the Luoyi map!"

Very slowly, the head of Chen Sheng's guard regiment brought the Luoyi map he carried with him, took his hand as a case, and opened it for the two division commanders to examine... As an officer from Jishang School, where did Xiaojun go, the map Where to draw, just basic skills!

"The [-] here are the guards of Xiaoguguan, and they can arrive tomorrow at the slowest!"

"The seventy thousand here are the guards of Hulao Pass, and they can arrive in two days at the slowest!"

"The [-] here are the defenders of Hangu Pass, and they can arrive in eight days at the slowest..."

With his extraordinary memory, Chen Sheng pointed out to Chen Dao the marching routes of the Zhou Dynasty reinforcements reported by successive army scouts and special agents of the Special Warfare Bureau.

Chen Dao scrutinized it several times... It was really an ambush!

"Look, you can do that!"

Chen Dao pondered, and drew a circle under the map with his hand, connecting in turn the marching route of the defenders of Xiaoguguan, the marching route of the defenders of Hulaoguan, and the marching route of the defenders of Hanguguan.

Chen Shengdeng immediately understood what I meant, thought about it, and said, "There is no risk, there is no chance of making any mistakes in the middle, and every battle must be fought quickly, otherwise you will be like an ox into a sea of ​​mud, and it will be difficult to escape, and if you Withdrawal, Luoyi will be changed, and if you want to break Luoyi, it will be more difficult..."

I saw at a glance the flaws in that battle plan.

"You think so!"

Chen Dao shook his head and said: "Xiao Wang once said that if his own strength is enough to gain an advantage in a situation where the situation is inevitable, then this will muddy the water, and only the fish can be fished in the muddy water!"

That sentence was said by Li Xin when he was calculating Li Yuan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal in Yanzhou.

"and……"

Chen Dao raised his chin slightly toward Brother Seventy Thousand Paoze, who was resting above, "That's your only way to survive, isn't it?"

Chen Sheng pondered for a few breaths, nodded and said, "Just follow his method!"
