In Chengdu County, after resisting Changsun Wuji's one-day siege, all the generals gathered in the city lord's palace, and Duan Xuanzhi was listening to the reports from his men.
"It seems that our losses today are still acceptable. As long as we can withstand another day tomorrow, Chengdu County will be saved!" Duan Xuanzhi said slowly.
"Sir, do you think Master Luo can really come tomorrow?" one of his subordinates asked.
"That's natural. Luo Zhang's vanguard army has actually arrived today and has already fought against the army blocked by Changsun Wuji. The leader of the vanguard army is Cheng Yaojin. Mr. Cheng, although he did not break through the blockade today, he will wait until tomorrow Zhang's army has arrived, but those people can't stop Luo Zhang at all. We're afraid we can be out of trouble as long as we hold on until noon!"
"However, we can receive the news, and Changsun Wuji is afraid that he will also receive it. He will try his best to block it and attack the city with all his strength. Therefore, I am afraid that tomorrow's siege battle will not be so easy. Tomorrow, Changsun Wuji will be even crazier, and our casualties will be It's more serious!" Duan Xuanzhi said with a solemn expression.
"Sir, as long as we can defend Chengdu County, it is worth paying any price. We swear to live and die with Chengdu County!!"
“I swear to live and die with Chengdu County!!!”
“I swear to live and die with Chengdu County!!!”
Looking at the determination of his men, Duan Xuanzhi felt miserable. What he just said was all his speculation. This was also the message Luo Zhang sent to him before attacking the city. Now, his message can no longer be passed on. How can he Know Luo Zhang's situation and movements.
But now he can't shake the military's morale, saying that he doesn't know, so he can only continue to act, hoping that Luo Zhang didn't lie to him and can really arrive tomorrow, otherwise Chengdu County will definitely not be able to defend tomorrow.
According to his estimate, half a day, half a day at most, this is his limit.
With only more than 30,000 people, it is already a miracle to resist the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Not to mention that the enemy has countless wooden lumps. It is really difficult to resist the enemy while also being prepared for the bombardment of the enemy's wooden lumps.
If it weren't for the stone houses built on the city wall, there would probably be more casualties today.
So far, more than 10,000 people have been killed or injured. He has reached the limit of what he can do.
Fifty miles away from Chengdu County, Cheng Yaojin's camp was at Cheng Yaojin's camp. At this moment, Cheng Yaojin did not fall asleep, but stood in front of a huge map and looked at it.
He was very angry that he had not broken through Changsun Wuji's blockade today. How could he admit defeat? No, he was burning the midnight oil to find a way.
"It's very difficult to attack from the front. Tell us what other options you have!" Cheng Yaojin said slowly after checking the map.
"Sir, can we openly build a plank road to attack Chencang in secret? Engage the enemy head-on, and secretly send a team of troops to bypass this place and hit the enemy hard from behind? In this way, the enemy's obstruction will be reduced to nothing, and we can break through the enemy's obstruction. Chengdu is being rescued!" One of his men said solemnly.
"Your plan sounds simple, but look at the map. Where is the way out? The ones I brought are all cavalry. Do I want them to use infantry instead of riding horses?" Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said.
It seemed that the general who had just made the suggestion was stumped by Cheng Yaojin's question.
They only have a total of 30,000 people, and they are all cavalry. There are some problems in using the cavalry as infantry. Who knows how many enemies there are. If there are too many factions, a frontal attack cannot put pressure on the enemy. If you send fewer people, you can go for a sneak attack. The enemy is afraid that he won't be able to scratch his itch.
Besides, they are cavalry, not infantry, so they will definitely suffer losses if they fight against Zhengzhen's infantry.
At this moment, a subordinate reported: "Sir, I am from Chengdu County. I know there is a plank road that can go around here, and the war horses can go with it!"
This statement made everyone in the tent stunned. Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Sir, how can I dare to say this? This is absolutely true. However, this road is an ancient road. No one walks all year round. Only families who have lived in Chengdu County for hundreds of years know about it. It is said that when Liu Bei attacked Shu, Zhuge Liang secretly The road they built, they also encountered such a situation back then." The general said slowly.
"Where is this plank road?" Cheng Yaojin pointed at the map.
"It's right here, more than ten miles away from us, hidden deep in the mountains." The general pointed to a mountain road.
This mountain was one of the two mountains that blocked them.
"The whole army has an early rest. Get up at the third watch tomorrow and send out troops at the fourth watch. I will face the enemy in the front and attract the enemy. You lead 10,000 horses and go around from the rear. Remember, if something cannot be done, retreat immediately. Never risk your life. , We will discuss it in the long term when Mr. Luo arrives with his troops!" Cheng Yaojin patted his subordinates on the shoulders and said.
"Yes, sir, my subordinates will definitely live up to their expectations!" The general bowed and accepted the order.
