Chapter 5 Breaking the City Tonight
Next, He Chen led nearly 30,000 soldiers and began to camp about 30 kilometers away from Hongnong City. The fence is surrounded, the sentry tower is the arrow tower, and the ditch is dug to divert water. Then a large number of soldiers began to cut wood and build, and the jingle in the whole barracks were heard, ringing day and night. By the next day, more than 20 simple ladders had been completed. Looking at this style, it actually wanted to attack Hongnong City.
The generals are a little surprised.
Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and others will ask for a meeting one after another, but they rarely closed the door.
On the third day, He Chen smiled and stretched out and came out of Dazhai.
Seeing that He Chen finally appeared, the generals who heard the news surrounded He Chen almost instantly and said, "Master, Hongnong City is tall and strong, and all the military resources are well prepared. If our army attacks, I'm afraid of heavy casualties."
"Yes, Guo Yan has about 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers. Judging from the normal proportion of siege and loss, if there are no more than 200,000 soldiers, it is impossible for the conventional siege method to take this city. Even if the master's special troops can block ten with one by one, it is difficult to guarantee that they dare to do something under this Hongnong City."
"Lord, Guo Yan was trapped in Hongnong. In fact, he was waiting for Chang'an's reinforcements. He thought that he could be surrounded and help, leaving a small number of troops to brag here, but the army secretly went around and besieged Li Qi's troops with the Gaoshun army. As long as he could defeat Li Qi, Guo Yan naturally felt desperate and raised the flag to surrender."
"Lord..."
He Chen's head felt like reaching into a hornet's nest. "Weng Weng" rang and almost exploded. He shook his hands repeatedly to stop the soldiers and shouted, "Stop, stop, what's the mess? What are you all guessing about? Who said that the local herdsman was going to forcibly attack the city? You have been following the pastor of this state for so many years, why don't you understand the shepherd of this state? Is it so brainless? Is it that stupid?"
The generals looked at each other in front of each other, and for a moment, some of them couldn't touch their heads.
After half an hour, Wei Yancai was careful, and the thief asked, "Master, what do you mean, this ladder is just a show to confuse the soldiers of Hongnong City, so that they really think that we are going to forcibly attack the city?"
He Chen stretched out his thumb and praised Wei Yan, "Yes, Wen Chang's head turned quite well, but you guessed half of it. This ladder is built. On the one hand, it can really reassure Guo Yan, thinking that we are really going to attack the city. So that he can rest assured. Maybe he will still be laughing now.
"As for the other half, of course, this ladder is used to attack the city. As for how to attack, hehe, this is kept secret for the time being." Speaking of the back, He Chen laughed and deliberately sold off.
This can catch the cats scratched by the generals, and the heart is itchy, but when he sees that He Chen shuts up, no one dares to really ask.
When the crowd retreated, He Chen turned two turns and came to a camp. This camp is one size larger than the ordinary one, which shows that the identity of the people inside is also more noble. At the door, there were eight elite soldiers of the Bandon people with halberds in their hands. When they saw He Chen coming, they stood up straight together. A bodyguard shouted, "The state animal has arrived." Another bodyguard hurriedly lifted the cloth.
He Chen nodded and bent down slightly to enter the camp.
There are two women sitting in it.One is wearing silver and white leather armor, engraved with a pattern on it, with two long and one short lancets, bright eyes and teeth, and a beautiful and tall yellow dancing butterfly. The other is Wang Ruohua, who wears standard leather armor near the guards of the maids, but can't hide his face full of spring, charming wind, and imagination.
Hearing the bodyguard's notice, Huang Wudie stood up in surprise and said happily, "Why does Zhou Mu have time to come over? When will it start? Sister Tianxiang has been assigned tasks. Why do I have to wait here to rest?
"Is it..." Huang Wudie's big eyes turned and suddenly said with joy, "Zhou Mu, do you want me to go to the front line?"
He Chen was so happy that she almost laughed out loud. This girl was so beautiful.
When Huang Wudie saw He Chen shaking her head repeatedly, her face immediately turned clear and cloudy. She couldn't help saying, "What are you doing here? It's not special to see Sister Wang Ruohua, is it? This is a heavy place for the military camp, not a backyard garden, and there is no room for private family.
What?
He Chen and Wang Ruohua were almost petrified, and their eyes were staggered after a little contact. One almost fell down, and the other felt a little stiff although his face was full of smile. How can this little girl go so unobstructed? He Chen couldn't laugh or cry and said, "What did you say? Benzhou Mu asked Commander Wang to discuss something."
"It's this sentence again. Why don't you have something to discuss with Miss Ben, and you are still so diligent? I think I'm flirting. Huang Wudie's face was full of depression. While reading something, she gave He Chen a sanitary eye. She found a corner and sat down boredly playing with the scabbard full of beads.
He Chen's face was full of embarrassment, and this girl was so fast.
"What's the matter with the state herdsman?" After a lot of strong winds and waves, Wang Ruohua couldn't help asking with a blush on his face.
"Oh, that's it. Is there any news from Xiangyang and Nanyang?"
Wang Ruohua is now the leader of the fangs, and at least two-thirds of the sources in the state are in her hands. Although she said things easily, no one knows every message behind it. Every piece of information has been strictly verified and carefully analyzed. The workload is so great that it is almost unimaginable.
"I have news. I'm looking for a state animal husband for this matter. Wenpin is fine in Nanyang, at least the families are still very supportive; Liao Hua is a little difficult in Xiangyang. Although He Man has given a lot of help, the pressure from Liu Biao is getting more and more serious. Nanjun and Jiangxia have re-sideded people. Although there are reasons to guard against Sun Ce, the three armies have formed a siege of Xiangyang. . If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid Liao Hua won't be able to stand it. Wang Ruohua was also a little worried.
"Well, you underestimate He Man and Liao Hua too much. Don't think that he only has two or thirty thousand horses in his hand. He really wants to defend Xiangyang. Liu Biao didn't take out more than 100,000 troops for a year and a half. Don't want to capture Xiangyang."
"That's true. However, now it seems that General Wenpin, taking into account the situation of Xiangyang, it is estimated that he can't divide his troops to the west and seize Wuguan.
"In that case, leave them alone."
"One more thing..."
"Ha ha, there is no need to say, the slave family knows, take it to see..." Wang Ruohua didn't wait for He Chen to say the matter, so he smiled and handed over a note.
He Chen took it with some excitement. The tiger's eyes swept over, and his fists suddenly tightened. He shouted excitedly, "Such a big deal can be determined."
"I can't believe that Zhou Mu buried so many chess pieces a few years ago for the sake of this day. It's really admirable." In Wang Ruohua's peach blossom eyes, there was a trace of shock and some worship.
"Hehe" He Chen smiled first and suddenly shouted, "Come on."
A bodyguard outside the door of "Nuo" came in and said, "What's the lord's order?"
"If the order goes down, all the generals will be recruited immediately, and one hour later, I will listen to the order of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army." He Chen shouted in a low voice.
"No." The bodyguard was excited and obviously smelled an unusual smell. After responding, he strode away.
"The pastor of Benzhou left first, General Huang, don't forget to come then." When He Chen left, he didn't forget to laugh at Huang Wudie.
Huang Wudie also heard a clue from the conversation between the two and said excitedly, "Zhou Mu, don't worry, I won't be late."
The battalion of the army.
The generals under the account have already gathered together, extending from high to low according to the official rank, with No. 34 figures on both sides of the camp.
He Chen has taken a high seat, and Guo Jia is sitting a little lower on the left. The rest of the people can only stand.
All the generals are in high spirits, and there have been three days under the Hongnong City. Although He Chen sends people to fight every day, Guo Yan is hanging a battle-free card. No matter how he insults and shouts, Guo Yan is like a thousand-year-old king without leaving the hole. Even if Wei Yan once asked someone to ask the surnames of the 18 generations of Guo Yanzu, he was still indifferent.
Now it seems that the state pastor has made a major decision. At the same time, he stretched out his ears and glanced at Guo Jia, who was sitting there like an old monk, with a calm face. The military division must have a good strategy to break the enemy.
He Chen first glanced at the hall, and then said loudly, "Today, I call all the generals. Do you know what's going on?"
"It must be the Lord who has a good strategy to break the city." The generals almost coincidently spoke together.
He Chen smiled and said happily, "Can you take Hongnong? It's all tonight."
The generals were overjoyed. Sure enough, when they saw He Chen, they looked solemn and said harshly, "The generals listen to my order."
"No." Everyone's face was full of color, and there was a loud response.
"Ma Yu." He Chen picked up a military token in his hand and said sharply.
"No." Ma Yu's face was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped out to answer. This guy is very self-aware. He believes that Wu is not as good as Xu, Zhao, Huang and others, and he is not as good as Gao, Zhang and Wei. Now he is satisfied that the uncle can get the first place to fight.
"You lead 500 people, put more firewood and dead leaves, and wait until the third watch in the middle of the night, set fire and shout at the west gate to move the hearts of the army."
"No." Ma Yu took the order loudly and strode away in the eyes of the generals.
"Where is Wei Yan?" He Chen almost did not stop and immediately took out the second token.
"My subordinates are here." Wei Yan also responded to the wind and fire.
"Go down and prepare immediately. After a night update, lead the Hurricane Legion to touch the outside of the southern city. When you see the signal, you will kill it immediately."
"No." Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of He Chen's words, Wei Yan didn't ask more questions at all. In his opinion, He Chen's priorities were clear, and he didn't need to ask more questions at all.
"The crescent moon." He Chen took out the third order.
"My subordinates are here."
"You lead 5,000 cavalry. At night, the horse rings the bell, the hooves are wrapped in cloth, and go around the north city to ambush. If you see the enemy abandoning the city, you don't need to be polite and rush to kill immediately. Among them, special attention should be paid to the driving of Guo Yan and the emperor.
"The moon."
"Huang Zhong..." He Chen didn't stop at all, and the fourth adjustment order was already in his hand.
