Hong Shitou's face was solemn, and he didn't say much nonsense. Instead, he used the dagger in his hand to point at the map of Bashu mountains and rivers hanging on the wall.
Why I changed my mind is simple to say——
First of all, it would take time to send people to contact the Shu rebels.
Those rebels from the Shu Kingdom did not have the Qingyu Guards to secretly assist and wipe their butts. If they want to survive the Qin soldiers' raids, they must be more secretive than the Chuan clan!
Just trying to find someone is quite difficult.
Then it will take some time to convince them.
And as we all know - it's better to do big things sooner rather than later.
The second point was something that Hong Shitou had seen with his own eyes just now - even among the same clan, there are still pro-Qin people who care about Qin... Who can guarantee that all the Shu rebels will fight Qin to the end? people?
What if there is a traitor with weak will?
Even if you don't consider this... the news about the attack on [Chenggu] must be kept as secret as possible - the more people know about it, the greater the possibility of the news leaking!
And 'surprise and secret attack' are the most critical and biggest magic weapon for the Chuan clan to win [Chenggu]!
…
After making up our minds and unifying our opinions, the next step is the intensive preparations.
First count the troops.
There are currently more than 2,700 trained soldiers under the Chuan clan - although the training time is very short, it is not at the same level as the training level of the Quyang New Army that Hong Shitou is familiar with...
However, these Pakistani soldiers are very brave, and quite a few of them have the experience of "seeing blood".
Although compared with the Qin people, most of the soldiers of the Ba people's rebel army looked thin. However, relying on their understanding of the terrain of the mountains and forests of Bashu, as long as they are used properly, their combat power will not be inferior to that of the tiger and wolf Qin army.
"Two thousand seven hundred people, although not many, are enough." Hong Shitou said.
Next, Hong Shitou contacted Qingyu Guard and transported a large amount of arrows and food.
The mountains of supplies shocked the Chuan clan.
It also made them more convinced of Xiong Wuliang and Hong Shitou.
Later, Hong Shitou used a large number of weapons to arm the two thousand and seven hundred Ba rebels to the teeth. Of course, these weapons did not cost Xiong Wuliang any money. They were all standard weapons of the Qin army that had been captured from the Qin people.
There were 2,700 Ba rebels, each armed with a short sword and a long sword, and some of them carried shields and long bows - all standard weapons of the Qin people.
In addition, there were many rebel soldiers who insisted on carrying blow darts, boning knives, and wood chopping knives that they were accustomed to... Hong Shitou thought about it for a while, and finally agreed.
Gear up and ready to go!
"I would like to hear General Hong's order!" A group of Sichuan clan elders and Ba people generals gathered together, looking expectantly at Hong Shitou, who was sitting in the chief seat.
Hong Shitou said without thinking: "The three armies are dispersed, resting during the day and marching urgently at night - no need to sneak."
With a large-scale migration of two to three thousand people, any attempt to hide their whereabouts is meaningless and will only slow down the march.
But we can't march in an open and majestic manner - in this way, the people of Qin will prepare for war earlier.
It is enough not to march during the day but only at night.
"If by chance you bump into someone while marching at night... then kill them all!" Hong Shitou touched his upper and lower lips and issued a bloody order: "Just dispose of the corpses briefly."
"In short, marching speed is the first priority - all units must arrive outside Chenggu City within ten days!"
"When the time comes, there will be people in green clothes coming to pick you up."
Anyway, in this era, there is no nightlife.
Ordinary farmers would not go out at night, and merchants passing by would not rush around in the dark.
Since good people don't go out at night - those who can come out at night, except for bandits, are scouts and spies... They are not good people anyway. If they meet and kill them, Hong Shitou will not feel any guilt in his heart.
Even if you really kill the wrong person... there's nothing you can do about it.
All the Sichuan clan members were in great spirits, and they all said excitedly: "I will obey General Hong's order!"
Hong Shitou raised his hand and said, "This general will personally command this battle!"
"Chuan Kai, Chuan Yong... you two will be my lieutenants!"
The plan has been decided, and the 2,700 Palestinian rebels are fully armed, divided into groups of 100 people, and divided into multiple squads.
Along mountain roads, waterways... starting from many directions, holding hands and galloping in the dark night.
The target arrow points directly to [Chenggu]!
…
Chenggu is located among the many mountains adjacent to Qinchuan - adjacent to the Baoshui Canal in the north, and passing through the narrow and dangerous [Shiniu Road] to the south, you can enter the hinterland of Bashu.
Baoshui is not a long river, but it is crucial for Qin to control Bashu.
The Qin State did not respect martial ethics and took advantage of the civil strife in Bashu. After taking over the land of Bashu, it used countless methods to expand the water conservancy and build water conservancy facilities for ten years.
Finally, such a narrow, winding, and fast-flowing river was transformed into a usable canal.
From now on, Qin's soldiers could be mobilized in large numbers and enter the hinterland of Bashu.
The grain products from Bashu could also be transported northward to Qin's territory through Qin people's ships.
In short, [Baoshui] is crucial for Qin to control Bashu, and [Chenggu] city is crucial for Qin to control [Baoshui]!
Such a city should have been heavily guarded by the Qin State... But the situation in the city at this moment is enough to shock people——
Scattered Qin soldiers and Shu garrison soldiers stood guard at the top of the city. Although they did not dare to move around due to Qin's strict military laws, it was obvious that many people were dozing off.
As we all know - after King Qin Huiwen conquered Bashu, he established a 'Shuhou' in Bashu, a puppet regime loyal to Qin.
This 'pseudo-Shu' helped Qin prey on the Bashu people, helped Qin suppress the Bashu rebellion, and helped Qin crazily plunder various resources in the Bashu region - its crimes are countless.
It is of course conceivable how weak the combat effectiveness of such a puppet country's army would be.
In real history, the pseudo-Shu Kingdom has also set off a wave of 'anti-Qin', but don't misunderstand - this is not at all like the high-level leaders of the pseudo-Shu Kingdom who cherish their homeland as much as the lower-level rebels who resisted bravely (in fact, the current Prince Tong, the Marquis of Shu, was originally the son of King Huiwen of Qin, a real Qin native).
It was just that the top officials of the pseudo-Shu simply wanted to get rid of Qin's control and did not hesitate to exploit the anti-Qin people's sentiments in Shu in order to fight for power and profit, thus brazenly starting a war.
In short, there are now two garrison forces in Chenggu City - one is the Qin army, which is like the Supreme Emperor, and the other is the pseudo-Shu 'security army', which is like a submissive little brother.
To be honest - these defenders, whether they are the Qin army from afar or the local puppet Shu army, are very lax in the defense of Chenggu City -
