"How did the rebels cross the moat so quickly?" In the corner tower lobby, Chang Yu sat cross-legged on the ground and feasted. Zhu Shenxuan asked. After he went to the city, his face changed when he learned that the moat had been lost.
"The offensive was too strong. The intruders used nearly 100,000 troops to attack. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, our family let him come over without any resistance."
Zhu Shenxuan lowered his head and stopped talking, looking a little embarrassed. After a while, he said again: "Did you just go out of the city to kill the enemy again?"
"How do you know?" Chang Yu continued eating and drinking without raising his head.
"When I met Zhou Yuji just now, he mentioned that I saw that his face was not kind, so he must have gotten angry?"
"Yes, you scolded our family like crazy!" Chang Yu chuckled.
Zhu Shenxuan curled his lips slightly: "It's crazy, he dared to scold you, you, you just let him scold you?"
"Otherwise, beat him up?" Chang Yu snorted.
Hehe, Zhu Shenxuan shook his head: "You're a factory supervisor... tsk tsk, you've lost your status a bit!"
Chang Yu ignored his sourness and asked: "Why are you going to the city at this time? You are delivering food and food."
"The factory governor fought bravely to kill the enemy and defend the city. As the lord of Taiyuan, I should also fulfill my duty as a landlord and come here to reward the soldiers and inspire the military morale." Zhu Shenxuan's eyes kept flashing.
Chang Yu smiled: "To show your courtesy for nothing is to commit adultery or theft. Prince Jin, you want to cause trouble."
"What are you doing? Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Shenxuan became nervous like a child who was caught stealing.
Chang Yu chuckled: "The little princess just said that I'm worried about you doing random things in the future... Hehe, why don't we say it clearly!"
Hey, Zhu Shenxuan sighed, glanced at Zhu Zhi'e, walked up to Chang Yu, and said in a low voice: "I told you clearly, I have gathered two hundred people and are now at the bottom of the city. If you have anything to say, I will do it to you!" "
"Brother" Zhu Zhi'e stamped her foot: "You..."
"Do not talk!"
Zhu Shenxuan raised his head and scolded, then turned to look at Chang Yu with a look of longing on his face.
Chang Yu laughed! He patted Zhu Shenxuan on the shoulder: "Little prince, the game has been upgraded. If your equipment is not good enough, you will be killed if you go up!"
"What, what do you mean?" Zhu Shenxuan was a little confused.
"It means that you should stay in the palace and come to the city as little as possible. To put it simply, it is extremely dangerous."
Zhu Shenxuan was reluctant when he heard it. After the restlessness and rebellion in his adolescence were amplified and ignited by Chang Yu, he now stopped playing with him.
"I heard what you said, and I trained my servants day and night just for this moment. At this time, you actually..."
Seeing Zhu Shenxuan's very disappointed and angry look, Chang Yu had to say seriously: "Your Majesty, this is a defensive war. There is no chance of leaving the city for a close encounter. Even if there is, it will be extremely dangerous. Even our family is worried. Don’t dare to fight easily, it’s really not something your servants can play with.”
"Then, is there no chance to pick up the slack?" Zhu Shenxuan couldn't forget the feeling of taking advantage of Luo Hu last time.
Chang Yu shook his head: "They are not on the same level at all. As long as we have close combat now, it will be extremely dangerous. Artillery, trebuchets, and arrows are flying all over the sky, and you will die if you are not careful!"
Zhu Shenxuan gritted his teeth and lowered his head, sighing helplessly: "Is there really no chance?"
"have!"
Chang Yu suddenly said: "When the bandit army attacks the city, but if that happens, will the prince's two hundred servants be able to turn the tide?"
snort! Zhu Shenxuan rolled his eyes.
"Is Zhu Huihong okay?" Chang Yu changed the topic.
"Hey, I'm old, and I can't stop it even with crying and persuading." Zhu Shenxuan waved his hand impatiently.
Chang Yu remained silent. No one could bear the loss of his family, his father and his home.
"I won't tell you anymore. Our family is going to patrol the city at the South Gate. The bandit army may attack the city in the afternoon. You should go back to the palace as soon as possible." Chang Yu was full and got up to leave.
"I, too, will go and have a look," Zhu Shenxuan said.
"no!"
Chang Yu flatly refused: "During the siege, the sky is full of artillery and arrows, it's too dangerous!"
"But..." Zhu Shenxuan was about to say something more, but was silenced by Chang Yu's cold eyes. He snorted and took a long breath. .
"You, be careful." When Chang Yu turned around to leave, Zhu Zhi'e, who had been silent all the time, suddenly whispered.
Chang Yu was even shocked. After so long, he finally had an effect. He turned around and smiled, then turned and left.
"Zhi'e, what did you just say to him?" After Chang Yu left, Zhu Shenxuan looked in disbelief: "Sister, he is a eunuch, and this guy is very bad..."
"Brother" Zhu Zhi'e stamped her foot: "What did you say?" and walked out of the tower quickly.
At the south gate, Zhou Yuji and other generals were gathering in the tower to eat. When they saw him coming, they all wanted to stand up and salute, but were stopped by Chang Yu with a wave of his hand. Then they turned around and walked outside the door, standing in front of the wall stacks and looking into the distance.
Some of the bandits by the moat were enforcing martial law, some were making fires and cooking, and some were busy repairing the suspension bridge.
Looking at the enemy camps stretching for miles from east to west, Chang Yu estimated that at least 60,000 to 70,000 horses had crossed the river.
However, the other side was still so dark that it was impossible to see beyond.
Damn it, how many men are there in the intruders at this time? Chang Yu frowned. Based on his guess, Li Zicheng came all the way east to recruit less than 100,000 soldiers. Adding in his original capital of 40,000, he would not be more than 15 after all. The rest would be cannon fodder!
But this cannon fodder is indeed a headache. The young and strong ones can be used to supplement the troops at any time. The old, weak, women and children are perfect for traveling.
"Isn't the momentum amazing?" Zhou Yuji's voice came from behind.
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "The intruder is going all-in and going crazy in the end."
"Does your Majesty mean that the intruders will stop no matter whether they capture Taiyuan or not?" Zhou Yuji asked.
"That's probably the case." Chang Yu knew that when Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan in history, he just captured and looted it and then left. He had an excuse for not being able to capture it. However, because of Zhang Xiong's dedication of the city, he got it before he could capture it. Just when he was thinking of giving it up as soon as it was good, Jiang Yu from Datong came to contact him again and asked to donate the city. This made him unable to get off the horse. How can he be dealt with if someone forces it into your hands?
"There are 60,000 to 70,000 rebel troops below the city, which is about the same as us. At this time, the water of the moat has not frozen, and the suspension bridge has not been repaired. It is difficult to look at the head and tail of the rebel army. If we send out troops suddenly, can we catch them by surprise?" Zhou Yuji said suddenly.
Chang Yu turned around and curled his lips: "Fishing and enforcing the law, Mr. Zhou, are you not going to let go after catching me once?"
Zhou Yuji laughed loudly: "Why are you so timid? You weren't very arrogant before. With more than a thousand troops, you dared to go out of the city and challenge someone's five times the force."
"otherwise"
Chang Yu said seriously: "The rebel army in Xicheng is a partial division, not the main force, not strong in combat power, and they are exhausted after the fierce battle and are mainly infantry. However, the governor's command is all elite cavalry, heavily armored, and they attack with anger. , catching him off guard."
As he spoke, he coughed lightly and pointed to the bandit camp below the city: "That's not the case here. This is the main force of the bandits. They have so many soldiers that their combat power is beyond the limit. When they crossed the river, they were like chickens. It is not comparable to those partial masters in Xicheng."
Zhou Yuji nodded in agreement.
"Moreover, there is no need to fight with them at this time. Crossing the river is a foregone conclusion. We should defend the city and annihilate the enemy while occupying a convenient position. Wouldn't it be better if we had not taken advantage of them to cross the river and resisted!" Chang Yu said again! .
Zhou Yuji nodded again, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the east: "Even if you want to hit hard at this time, the opportunity has been lost."
Directly east of the southeast corner of Cheng'en Gate, the bandit army was transporting a large amount of supplies, including war horses, chariots, ladders, grain and grass, etc. on the unbroken river.
It seems that the intruder is so anxious that he can't wait even a moment! Chang Yu secretly smiled, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhou Yuji: "Let's do it?"
Zhou Yuji was startled at first, then glanced eastward and understood, nodding slightly: "You can have this."
