While Luo Zhang was discussing the battle of the army in the city lord's palace, Changsun Wuji was doing the same thing in the city lord's palace in Fuling City.
"Sir, the soldiers and horses have been mobilized. There are now 300,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the food and grass are all ready. We can fight again, and we will definitely win Chengdu County this time!" A general said confidently.
Changsun Wuji nodded and expressed his approval. This time he mobilized a lot of people, horses, and food, which cost a lot.
Although the Changsun family has a great business, they are still a little shaken after the loss in Chang'an.
Otherwise it would not be suitable for three hundred thousand, but for half a million people.
And this 300,000 yuan is all he can afford in a short time. If he cannot win Chengdu County, he may have no choice but to flee to Gaoguli to find his eldest son.
Just as Changsun Wuji and Luo Zhang were preparing for a battle, there was also a battle about to happen in Gaoguli.
And this battle is related to the ownership of Gaogouli.
After several days of marching, Li Jing's army finally arrived at the Green River.
It's just that Li Jing didn't feel much joy, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
On the Green River, there are pieces of wooden planks floating. These planks were originally the decks of fishing boats, but now they are all turned into wooden blocks and were destroyed by Changsun Chong.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, all the ships along the Green River have been destroyed. If you want to cross the Green River, you have to build your own ship, or go to the upper reaches to cross the river where the current is gentle!"
"It's just..." Yuchi Jingde said but didn't know what to say. Obviously what he said next was not good news.
"Say!" Li Jing said gloomily.
"It's just that the originally flat land upstream has been blown up by Changsun Chong into a wide land. It's no longer possible to cross the river, and boats are still needed!" Yuchi Jingde said slowly.
"Changsun is a bastard!!!" Li Jing cursed angrily.
Li Jing also didn't expect that Changsun Chong would do things so brilliantly. He not only sank all the ships, but also widened the originally flat land. The only way to cross the river was to build ships.
However, shipbuilding takes time. The city of Pyongyang is now in danger, so there is no rush to build ships at this time.
"Commander, we are in trouble if we want to build a ship. Changsun Chong burned down all the nearby forest land. If we want to get the wood to build the ship, we have to go thirty miles away to cut down the wood and transport it!" Yuchi Jingde continued.
Li Jing had nothing to say. Changsun Wuji was a shady person, but he didn't expect his son to be even more shady than him. All of this was taken into account.
Looking at the rolling green river water lying in front of him, Li Jing gritted his teeth.
“Chop wood and build boats!!!”
"Also, send someone with good water skills to swim over there for me to explore the situation in Pyongyang City!"
As the two orders were issued, the army also began to move.
At this time, under the city of Pyongyang, Chang Sun Chong's army had surrounded the place so tightly that even flies, let alone birds, could not fly in.
So much so that all the carrier pigeons sent from Pyongyang City were intercepted by Changsun Chong's carrier pigeons.
At this moment, there was chaos in Pyongyang City. After two days of siege, more than half of the defenders of Pyongyang City had been lost. If no reinforcements arrived, it would be a matter of time before Pyongyang City was breached.
If it weren't for the wooden bumps, I was afraid that Pyongyang City would be captured by Changsun Chong on the first day.
Outside the city, Changsun Chong was riding a horse in the rear to supervise the battle. Seeing the army continuously attacking the city wall, he was not in a good mood.
Unexpectedly, there were so many wooden lumps in Pyongyang City that prevented his army from attacking the city.
The loss of his men and horses was not small. In the past two days of siege of the city, he lost more than 20,000 people.
This does not include the injured men and horses. If the injured men and horses are included, there will be nearly 40,000 people.
He only had 70,000 to 80,000 troops, which means he lost nearly half of his men in the battle. It can be said that both sides suffered a loss with Pyongyang.
Fortunately, Pyongyang City can no longer hold it. As long as one more day, Pyongyang City will be captured. As long as Pyongyang City is captured, all the initiative will be in his hands.
"Report! Sir, Li Jing's army has arrived at Lujiang!" A spy came closer to report.
The spies' words made Changsun Chong wake up. He glanced at the spies and asked, "How is the situation?"
"Because we sank all the ships and blew up the flat land, Li Jing's army stopped at the Green River and could not cross the river!" the spy continued.
