In the camp, Liu Jing, Liu Qing, and Liu Feng, who had just recovered from his injuries, gathered together to discuss tomorrow's decisive battle.
"Tomorrow's battle, I believe our army will be able to break through the city gate in one go." Liu Qing said.
Hearing this, Liu Jing nodded and agreed: "That's true, but behind the city gate, Li Zhufeng and Zhang Xun also dug a gully about ten feet wide."
"Last time, they set up several powerful crossbows behind the ravine and filled the bottom of the ravine with sharp bamboo thorns to resist our army."
"That time, our army did not prepare a ladder, and it can be said that we suffered heavy losses."
"Now that we have to do it again, we must plan this matter in advance."
Although Liu Jing was suspected of releasing water last time, the gully and crossbow arrows that were about ten feet wide really left a deep impression on him.
After all, the scene of broken arms and limbs flying around, and corpses strung together like candied haws, is really fresh in people's memory.
When Liu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "For being able to come up with such a method, Zhang Xun is worthy of being named the number one martial artist in Da Gan."
"However, their main purpose of this move is to take the enemy by surprise. Now if we know in advance, we can prepare a ladder that is about ten feet long and ask some soldiers to carry shields that can withstand crossbows. In this way, this plan can be defeated! "
"This matter is very important. I don't feel safe leaving it to anyone else. Why don't you..." Liu Qing glanced at Liu Feng without leaving a trace and said, "Why don't you just leave it to Feng'er? After all, you are one of your own family members and can be trusted."
In fact, Liu Qing was deliberately trying to make Liu Feng look good.
After all, Liu Feng had almost no participation in this siege and was paddling the whole way!
If the city is destroyed and great things are accomplished, how will we be able to become marquises and generals in the future?
It's almost the last day, no matter what you do, you have to gain some merit.
However, Liu Jing frowned slightly when he heard this.
To be honest, in his impression, Liu Feng has always been arrogant and dissolute, which is not very trustworthy, especially in such important matters.
Liu Qing seemed to see the hesitation in Liu Jing's eyes and glared at Liu Feng without any trace.
When Liu Feng saw this, he immediately stood up and smiled at Liu Jing, as if to please.
"His Royal Highness King Jing, I know that the boy's reputation was not very good when he was in Western Xinjiang."
"But in fact, this is just a boy hiding his clumsiness."
"It's just that people in the world are so ignorant. Sometimes, a person can be completely rejected based on his reputation alone."
"But I believe that His Highness will be able to recognize talents and see what is extraordinary about this boy!"
"Leave this matter to me, your Highness, please rest assured! I will definitely handle this matter properly!"
When Liu Jing heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, becoming more helpless.
These two people simply couldn't understand the words of good scoundrels. They followed the stick when they hit snakes. The father and son of the Duke's family were as good as the scoundrels on the street.
Seeing that Liu Jing still didn't agree, Liu Feng had a look of anger deep in his eyes, but his outward attitude became more respectful.
He took out the water bag from his waist, poured two glasses of water, handed one to Liu Jing, and raised the other by himself.
"Alcohol is strictly prohibited in the army, so I'm going to drink water instead of wine here to offer a toast to His Highness!"
"This is the best mountain spring water. When our army was stationed in Wangyue Valley, the little messenger went through great hardships to get it. It is extremely sweet! Please try it."
After that, drink it all in one gulp.
When Liu Jing saw this, he was helpless to the extreme.
But that's what the other party said. Besides, Liu Feng wasn't going to the battlefield after all. He was just preparing some supplies. Could something go wrong?
What's more, most of the current army's manpower was brought by Liu Qing from Western Xinjiang. This also led to Liu Qing's prestige in the army being even higher than him!
If you are too disrespectful, I'm afraid...
Liu Jing took the glass of mountain spring water, looked at it, it was crystal clear, then picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
He pretended to smile and said, "Then I will leave all the authority over this matter to the Crown Prince!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Seeing Liu Jing drinking the glass of mountain spring water, Liu Feng smiled even more openly.
Liu Qing was also very happy, feeling that his son finally had a place in the new dynasty.
Afterwards, the three chatted some more questions, ended the discussion, and returned to their tents to rest.
…
Swish, swish, swish!
A figure was rising and falling in the mountains like a nimble ape.
Not long after, they arrived in front of Li Changkong and others.
It was Li Jibei who was carrying a red tassel gun and had a stern expression.
"How is the situation?" As soon as Li Jibei landed, Liu Yu and others came up and asked.
"The situation is pretty much the same. There are 20,000 rebels and thousands of wounded."
"And in Qiandu City, judging from their tone, there are only a thousand remnant troops left."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
One thousand versus twenty thousand? This is really...
From these two figures alone, they could feel the brutality of this city defense battle.
"What about tomorrow's attack plan? Have you overheard it?"
After Li Changkong read the letter in his hand, he stood up and asked.
He has basically discussed the battle plan with his father, but as the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles.
Knowing the movements of the rebels is not a loss at all.
"Be prepared to attack Qiandu City in one go tomorrow!"
"They even expected that after the city was broken, the people in the city would dig trenches to resist, so they were equipped with ladders and special shields that could withstand large crossbows."
When Li Changkong heard this, he was neither sad nor happy. These situations were all expected. He just nodded lightly and said: "Send the order, let the brothers have a good rest, and cook all the food tomorrow for everyone to eat." A full meal!"
"A few of us will have a meeting later!"
After finishing speaking, he returned to the camp and began to continue writing letters.
It is still necessary to let dad know about the ladder and the special shield.
After a while, Li Changkong finished writing the letter and looked at Liu Yu, Zhu Ben, Jia Taisui and others who were already seated.
He recounted the battle plan he had discussed with his father.
After everyone heard this, their eyes were bright.
Liu Yu even slapped the table, stood up excitedly, and said: "We must capture Liu Jing alive tomorrow!"
After everyone finished the meeting, the night was getting darker and it was getting to the point where they couldn't see their fingers, so they didn't dare to delay and immediately returned to their respective camps and began to rest.
After all, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow!
…
In the cold night, the evening wind carried the cold air and blew on the gate of Qiandu City, making a whistling sound.
It also blows into the hearts of everyone, causing people to have mixed feelings.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
Some people have been planning for more than 20 years, and the imperial hegemony lies in the Ming Dynasty!
Some people risk the world and do such treacherous things just to be ministers of the dragon!
There are also people who work hard at night, ready to fight to the death!
There are also people who sleep peacefully, have a plan in mind, and have everything under control!
