It was obvious that Li Zicheng and Chang Yu's carefully planned killing plan was going to come to nothing. This guy didn't show up at all.
The main reason why Chang Yu didn't take the bait, besides being no longer able to take the lead in disobeying Zhou Yuji's military orders, was that he thought there was no need to go out of the city to fight Luo Hu's Zhenshan Camp at this time.
Because Zhenshan Camp is not comparable to ordinary bandits, its combat power is too strong, and there will be casualties as long as it takes action!
Anyway, the defensive battle has entered the final stage, so there is no need to lose men and horses in vain.
And now he has more important things to discuss with Zhou Yuji and others, that is, when will the bandits attack the city again, and what tactics will they use?
"Nine times out of ten, there will be a night attack. After all, the dark night and high wind can provide cover, and the bandit army has always been good at night attacks. Therefore, the general believes that the bandit army will attack the city again before dawn at the earliest tonight and at the latest tomorrow. "In the city tower, Zhou Yuji said after thinking.
"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although night can provide cover for oneself, it can also provide cover for the opponent. The bandit army has always been cunning and enjoys using tricks that are both virtual and real, and they are not excluded from doing it during the day." Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ying Shisheng proposed himself Views.
After hearing the words of the first and second officers of the military general, Wang Jimo, Cai Maode and other civil servants nearby nodded their heads, and looked at Chang Yu with tacit understanding.
Chang Yu rolled his eyes secretly, this die-hard fan was almost turning into a crazy fan.
So he coughed lightly: "No matter day or night, tonight or tomorrow morning, we are ready and waiting, but we must be mentally prepared in advance. This wave of offensive will definitely be more fierce than last night."
Everyone's faces were solemn and they nodded.
"And what we have to do is take the opportunity to cripple and destroy the thieves!"
Chang Yu's eyes were firm and his fighting spirit was overwhelming.
"Does the factory supervisor think that the rebel army will attack from the south gate?" Wang Jimo asked.
Chang Yu thought for a moment and then said: "Not necessarily. The South Gate is sealed with ice, which makes it more difficult for the thieves to attack the city. He will most likely find another place, but it is not ruled out that it will still be the main attack point."
"If the traitor is looking for another place, which door will he go to in the opinion of the factory governor?" Sun Kangzhou, the prefect, asked immediately.
Zhou Yuji took over the conversation: "Xicheng is close to the main Fenhe River. The river is wide. The thieves must be worried that when they attack the city, we will bombard the river to cut off their retreat, so there is little chance of choosing Xicheng as the main attack point."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"The North City is in the rear, and it is very likely that the rebels will go around there to attack. Therefore, in addition to the South City, the main attack point for the rebels is the East City, and the most likely one is Yichun Gate (Southeast Gate)."
"Have General Zhou ever thought that the bandit army would attack on both sides at the same time?" Chang Yu said suddenly.
"Two main attack points?" Zhou Yuji was stunned, and the faces of everyone in the lobby changed drastically.
The weather was terrifyingly cold, but the camp was in full swing. Patrols were being made, fires were being made, and pre-war mobilization was being carried out step by step. Only the refugees at the outermost edge of the camp were panic-stricken.
In these days, natural disasters and man-made disasters have made life difficult for the people. Although they were kidnapped by the bandit army, they had enough to eat so that they would not starve to death immediately. But looking at people's faces, you have to go when you are asked to work. If you don't go, you will die. Even if you run away, Death, and in this cold winter month, if you don’t have enough clothes to cover your body and don’t have enough food to eat, even escaping is a death.
Although every time you work for the bandit army, you are bound to live or die, but after all, there is still a chance of survival.
Seeing the rebels making fire and making food, and mobilizing the whole army, these refugees knew that some of them would be taken away to work soon. At least a quarter of the tens of thousands who were taken away last night did not come back. How many people did they return overnight? Separation of flesh and blood.
They felt scared, helpless, but more importantly, helpless, especially the young and strong men who really couldn't bear to see their wives, children, and mothers beside them hungry and unable to survive.
So every time the bandits gave out gruel to recruit people to work, they could only grit their teeth and endure the hardships in tears.
In this era, it is impossible to twist this fate.
The little gelding was not harnessed. Outside the bandit camp, Li Zicheng and a group of staff were observing the south gate, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Patrols of officers and soldiers on the Taiyuan city wall kept coming and going. No one who looked like a general was seen at the top of the city. The officers and soldiers on the city ignored the rebels who were shouting and swearing below the city, but if they got too close, they would kill them with bows and arrows.
"For a whole afternoon, I couldn't retaliate or shrink back. This gelding can't hold his temper," Niu Jinxing couldn't help but cursed.
"Is it possible to see through our trap?" Song Xiance and others were also confused.
"This is impossible!" Li Zicheng shook his head slightly, but said with unusual certainty. He didn't believe that Chang Yu could predict the future, nor did he believe that he had clairvoyance and could clearly see the generals hidden in Zhenshan Camp from such a distance.
Luo Hu's men didn't show any flaws. He should not be able to see through the ambush, but why can't he retreat? Is it possible that he is really frightened by the name of Zhenshan Camp, or that he is seriously injured and has not recovered. Luo Hu said before The gelding got hit by his peregrine falcon.
Li Zicheng was well aware of the power of the peregrine falcon. A normal person would be killed or injured if a strong man was hit by it. Even with armor protection, injuries would be inevitable.
The carefully arranged killing situation failed to attract Chang Yu. Li Zicheng and his staff were very disappointed, but they were helpless. Seeing the twilight in the west and the sky was dark, they ordered Luo Hu to return to camp and sent a large number of scout horses around the city!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Luo Hu's men and horses returned to the camp, a scout came hurriedly to report that the officers and soldiers had left the camp, thousands of men and horses.
After hearing the news, Li Zicheng and other bandit leaders were immediately shocked and went out of camp to watch.
"My lord, I humbly ask for a fight, and I swear to take that gelding's head!" Luo Hu put on his armor again and mounted his horse.
Li Zicheng shook his head lightly. If the situation was unclear, he would wait and see, and then asked Tan Ma to investigate again.
Soon a scout came to report: officers and soldiers went out of the city to pick up arrows!
Depend on! Li Zicheng and others were immediately shocked, but they were also secretly happy. It seemed that the officers and soldiers in the city were seriously lacking in combat readiness!
Luo Hu wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Li Zicheng. The officers and soldiers could only go out of the city to collect arrows, and it was impossible for the generals to be inside. Moreover, they had been going back and forth for several miles. When your men and horses arrived, they would also withdraw into the city. If you chased them close, the people on the city would How could the officers and soldiers let go of such a good opportunity!
Everyone took a look and then returned to the camp. Only Luo Hu was still looking at Taiyuan City at the camp gate, his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, and the hand holding the long knife kept shaking.
In order to deal with the possibility of a two-pronged attack by the rebels, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji were busy in the city at this time, moving combat supplies, and mobilizing troops for drills that could not be completed until dark.
"Will we attack tonight?" It was dark and windy, and the cold wind roared in the city. Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks and asked Zhou Yuji, staring at the brightly lit bandit camp due south.
"Whether we attack or not, we can't sleep well tonight," Chang Yu said calmly. He looked around and saw that there were dots of fire everywhere inside and outside the moat, and he knew it was the thieves' probing horse.
"That's right, let's just wait and see." Zhou Yuji nodded, and then ordered the soldiers to take breaks in shifts and increase their vigilance.
Fang San made another pot of soup, not because he was only good at it, but because other ingredients were hard to come by at this time, and Chang Yu loved to drink mutton soup, which could ward off the cold.
When the generals were enjoying themselves in the city tower holding the big bowl and drinking happily, Qin Xing, the stall owner of Dongchang, came and whispered in Chang Yu's ear that he had found it.
"Where?" Chang Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks.
To the east of the city, there is Luoyan Tower.
It was dark now, and although the curfew had not yet arrived, there were few pedestrians on the street, and almost all street businesses were closed.
The only Luoyan Tower is not closed yet, and the business is full. From time to time, the sound of strings and bamboos, laughter and laughter can be heard.
Yes, Luoyan Tower is a brothel, the same shop that Chang Yu passed by late at night.
At this time, the southern intersection of the largest brothel in Taiyuan City was blocked by the Jinwu Guards led by Jia Waixiong, and there was a Gongzi camp on the north.
Tu Yuan's eyes glowed green and he rubbed his hands vigorously behind Chang Yu with an excited look on his face.
"What are you doing?" Chang Yu looked back at him feeling something strange.
"The adults visit a brothel and it's such a grand event. You are indeed a role model for our generation... The younger one is a little excited." Tu Yuan counted and stretched out his thumb.
Chang Yu turned his head and looked at Hu Ling, who was standing next to him with a cold face: "Why are there so many idle people waiting at Dongchang when we are doing business?"
"It's the factory owner." Hu Ling waved his hand, and immediately rushed out several burly eunuchs, surrounded Tu Yuan, and took him away!
"Sir, I am not an outsider in this humble position..." Only then did Tu Yuan realize that he had not brought him to find the young lady. He wanted to struggle, but he did not dare. In this way, Chang Yu's most powerful general was killed. He was thrown outside the martial law line and looked at the feasting and feasting in the brothel with a miserable look on his face.
"The guest house is about to close. If you want to come in, you won't be able to get out. There will be a curfew outside at midnight..."
As soon as Chang Yu and Hu Ling and others stepped into the gate, several turtle men bent down to greet them, but they suddenly stopped talking.
The young man at the front had a cold face, and the tall man in black behind him had a fierce look on his face.
"Sir, this way!" Qin Xing stepped out from behind and led the way, heading straight to the second floor!
"Hey you..." As soon as Mr. Turtle said it, a big man in black suddenly pulled out a waist knife with a click, and he shut up.
Chang Yu and the others followed Qin Xing quickly up to the second floor and then walked around several corridors, finally in front of a door with a small sign with the word 'Lu' hanging on it.
"Sir, this is the room!" Qin Xing whispered.
Lu! Chang Yu sneered, then raised his leg and kicked open the door, and the man and woman screamed in surprise.
