After hearing the news that the road had been opened, Changsun Wuji and Duan Xuanzhi behaved in completely different ways!
Changsun Wuji was overjoyed and immediately ordered the army to move closer and march towards Chengdu!
Duan Xuanzhi, on the other hand, looked a little ugly and even turned pale as he ordered the city gate to be closed and prepared to stand ready!
Once the road is opened, Changsun Wuji's army may arrive at any time. Opening the door at this time is tantamount to courting death!
Originally he only had to hold on for one day, but now because the road was opened in advance, Duan Xuanzhi had to hold on for two days to wait for Luo Zhang's army. This made the atmosphere in the city very depressing!
Everyone is very worried about whether Chengdu can hold on!
The people who wanted to leave had already left, and those who stayed behind were staying behind closed doors. It was a chaotic time outside, and no one dared to run around.
Teams of soldiers patrolled the streets, and catapults, stones, and logs were being carried to the city!
The war is about to break out, and both sides are preparing, but in different ways!
Duan Xuanzhi was already standing on the city tower, issuing orders one after another. The City Lord's Mansion was comfortable, but he could no longer sit still!
Only by standing on the tower can we feel a little more stable, and we can also deal with some problems in time!
At a bend two hundred miles away from Chengdu, groups of cavalry were galloping wildly.
There is a flag on the leading horse with the word "Cheng" written on it!
This group of cavalry is the vanguard sent by Luo Zhang, and the leader of this group of vanguard cavalry is Cheng Yaojin!
The crisis in Chengdu is imminent. After all, infantry walks slowly, while cavalry is much faster!
Naturally, let the cavalry go first to relieve Chengdu from being besieged!
Only when Luo Zhang arrives with his army can he face off against Changsun Wuji!
Otherwise, once Chengdu is captured, Luo Zhang will have no choice but to retreat!
After all, this arrival was relatively hasty. In order to carry artillery, shells, and wooden lumps, Luo Zhang did not bring much military rations, which was only enough for him to last for two months.
It took nearly a month to get to Shuzhong, which meant that without Chengdu's food and grass support, he could only confront Changsun Wuji for about ten days. After ten days, he could only retreat, otherwise the food and grass would be cut off, and he wanted to retreat to the capital. Can't retreat!
There's nothing we can do about it, we really can't carry so many things!
Some people will say that the follow-up grain and grass cannot be transported?
It can be transported, but there is no time at all. Transporting grain and grass is nothing like marching, and the roads in the middle of Shu are not easy to travel. You know, in ancient times, when transporting grain and grass, it was very good to transport half of ten kilograms!
Most of them only have 30%. This is the reality. It is not like what is said in the article. You can get as much as you want. The losses along the way are huge!
Cheng Yaojin's speed was not bad, but it was still not as fast as Changsun Wuji's.
In just half a day, Changsun Wuji's army surrounded Chengdu County and blocked all roads in and out.
However, we did not launch an offensive. After all, we have to rest during a rapid march. Without rest, fatigue combat efficiency will be very low!
As long as we surround Chengdu, are we still afraid that we won't be able to capture it?
On the Chengdu City Tower, Duan Xuanzhi looked at the brightly lit entrance and exit, his expression a little ugly!
There is the intersection of Chengdu's routes to the outside world. Only by walking here can you go to other cities.
As long as this intersection is blocked, it is equivalent to blocking Chengdu's main road to the outside world!
Duan Xuanzhi had previously intended to send people to guard, but he also knew that guarding was in vain and would only harm the soldiers. After all, there was no danger to defend there!
Finally, he had to order all the soldiers to move to Chengdu!
Obviously, Changsun Wuji did not intend to let Chengdu County go, he could only hold on for as long as possible!
The road was controlled by Changsun Wuji, and the arrival of Luo Zhang's army was bound to be affected. He couldn't help Luo Zhang at the moment. He only hoped that Luo Zhang could break through the encirclement and fight his way to Chengdu!
Duan Xuanzhi on the city tower encouraged the general, but his heart was not calm. He was destined to have no sleep tonight. Duan Xuanzhi gave the last order of the day!
"Have a good meal and have a good rest. The battle will begin tomorrow!"
After this order was issued, Duan Xuanzhi also went down from the city tower and returned to his city lord's mansion!
Dinner has already been prepared in the city lord's mansion!
But Duan Xuanzhi had no intention of eating. He only ate a little and then couldn't finish it. He was really worried!
Changsun Wuji arrived too quickly, one day early, which completely broke his plan!
The plan has been shattered, and now we really have no choice but to fight hard!
Regardless of whether Luo Zhang comes or not, he has no way out!
Now he can only firmly believe that Luo Zhang will come, and at the same time, he must persist until Luo Zhang arrives, otherwise his persistence will be in vain!
