The decisive battle, Youshi.
Chu Wudi had already had wine and food prepared, Chu Feiyan was also there, Xiao Qing was sitting next to him making a fire and making tea, and Xiao Long'er was sitting quietly beside her eating melon seeds.
"Let's have a drink before the war starts." Chu Feng looked at Li Xiuyuan who walked in and said with a smile.
"It's true that everyone is here. Let me tell you about tomorrow before eating." Li Xiuyuan and Chu Wudi said, holding hands.
He turned around and looked at Chu Feiyan and said: "Tonight we will move all the heavy slaves we prepared into the trenches. Before midnight tomorrow, the army will enter the trenches and be on standby."
Seeing everyone's stunned look, Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Chu Wudi glanced at Chu Feiyan and didn't ask any questions.
Chu Feiyan heard Shen's voice and asked, "Didn't you just meet Qingyue? She wouldn't just turn around and want to break the city, would she? This is too shameless."
When Chu Feng heard this, he looked at Li Xiuyuan nervously and said, "I said we are outside the city today. Who is breaking the boundary?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Is it because I am afraid that the other party's cultivation level will be broken, so I have to admit defeat in this war? I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Chu Feiyan glanced at Chu Wudi and Chu Feng, didn't say anything, and just shook her head gently.
He said quietly: "Don't get excited yet. Listen to the Generalissimo's words and you should feel calm."
As he spoke, he turned back to look at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Generalissimo, do you think they will suddenly attack us and catch us off guard?"
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand: "If I were Qingyue, I would do the same thing. After all, the best way to attack is when the opponent is relaxed."
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, Chu Wudi said: "The general is right, they just suffered a loss in Black Salt City, and now is the time when we are careless... The best time is to attack them unprepared! "
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Just listen to the Generalissimo."
Chu Wudi looked at Chu Feng and said, "You have worked hard outside the city these past few days, and since the generalissimo can return to the city safely, it is worth having an extra drink."
Li Xiuyuan watched the conversation between the three of them, but Chen Tianfang did not say anything. He vaguely remembered that he had given some instructions before, thinking that after such a long time, there should be some news.
She looked at him and asked, "How many of the things I want have been collected?"
Chen Tianfang was stunned for a moment and realized that Li Xiuyuan was talking to him, and then he replied: "As of today, there are almost more than 600 barrels. There can be more if necessary."
Li Xiuyuan rubbed his brows and said softly: "That's all for now. You and your people will place them in the trenches outside the city tonight. It's best to cover them with some hay..."
Chu Wuyan frowned and looked at him and Chen Tianfang. She didn't understand the conversation between Li Xiuyuan and Chen Tianfang.
After a moment of silence, he said: "I wonder what the Generalissimo was talking about with General Chen. Can you tell me? Even if I can't help, I can even allocate supplies and try my best to meet the Generalissimo's requirements."
Seeing Chu Feiyan's puzzled look, Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "How can I have any secrets? I just thought that the Silver Moon Army could not easily take the ten-mile trench outside the city."
"I have to think of a way to give them some gifts tomorrow, but it's not enough to bother Her Royal Highness, so I won't bother you."
Hearing Li Xiuyuan talk about this matter, Chu Feiyan became interested and asked seriously: "Whatever the Generalissimo wants to do, just ask me to do whatever you need me to do."
"Sleep well tonight, eat early tomorrow morning and prepare to fight!" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan thought that since the opponent's intentions had been discovered and a big war was inevitable, he had to find some way to take the initiative. He could not just sit here and wait to be beaten passively, accepting a war that he did not want.
"Will there be a big battle tomorrow?" Chu Wudi asked in confusion.
"I didn't dare to confirm it before, but from this moment on, I believe that Princess Qingyue will not miss the great opportunity in front of her." Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said quietly.
Chu Wuyan was slightly startled and asked, "Is it because the summer rainstorm hasn't come yet? So they want to attack the city as soon as possible?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "When the summer rainstorm comes, the trenches we dug outside will be filled with mud. Even if their 200,000-strong army takes over, it will be difficult to move forward."
"It turns out that they wanted to take advantage of the heavy rain to bulldoze the ten miles of trenches outside the decisive battle pass to prepare for their attack. No wonder Qingyue is rushing to attack."
Chu Wuyan was taken aback and asked, "How can we fight them?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and laughed, and said: "Let's fight a normal battle first. If we can't win, we will retreat to the city. Is it possible to fight them desperately?"
"That's a good idea!" Chu Feng clenched his fists and laughed.
"In addition, I would like to ask the general to urge the Pure Land warriors who are digging the ditch to complete my planned task within five days." Li Xiuyuan continued.
"No problem, I will arrange it in a moment! Please feel free to worry, Imperial Master." Chu Wudi replied.
Li Xiuyuan said in an affirmative tone: "The princess asked me to command this war because she hopes that I can not only protect Da Chu, but also minimize the casualties of Da Chu's soldiers. Everyone must understand."
"Since they don't want peace talks, we might as well give them some pain first, so that they don't want to fight this war."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the food placed on the table and smiled: "Eat first, and then we'll talk when you're full."
Chu Feiyan raised his eyebrows slowly and asked in disbelief: "The Generalissimo already has an idea? But we only have 100,000 troops, how can we win this war?"
Ning Xiuyuan shook his head and said seriously: "What I want is a surprise, not a face-to-face war."
Chu Feiyan nodded and said: "Since the Generalissimo has already planned it, we will fully cooperate and launch a surprise attack on the Silver Moon army so that they will not be able to spend this summer well."
...
After eating a table of food and drinking a bottle of wine, Chu Wudi and others left one after another. Bian Chu Feiyan also went back to the house to rest early, saying that he had regained his energy to join the battle tomorrow.
Xiaoqing drank a glass of wine, Xiaolonger drank two sips, and the two little guys went back to the house early to sleep.
Only Li Xiuyuan and Chu Feng were left in the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.
"After I help you fight this war, I will return this Grand Marshal's seal to you. I will go back to the academy to practice for a few days, and then go to the Shura battlefield!"
Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
Li Xiuyuan thought with a smile, Qingyue never thought that she would give them the hardest blow when she was most proud.
Since war is inevitable, we must take the initiative into our own hands.
Thinking of the ten miles of trenches outside the city, Li Xiuyuan was full of confidence, and his chest and abdomen were filled with pride and pride.
Looking at Chu Feng, he said loudly: "Are the iron cavalry of Silver Moon Kingdom amazing?"
Hearing these words, Chu Feng was stunned for a moment and was speechless for a long time. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't guess what Li Xiuyuan was thinking at the moment.
Looking at Chu Feng's speechless look, Li Xiuyuan laughed proudly and said, "Don't be shocked. From tomorrow on, you will only have to complete the task of blocking the attack. If you can't defeat him, you will retreat to the city... I can't live without you."
Chu Feng glanced at him and replied speechlessly: "You are the generalissimo now. I can't defeat you, but when it comes to fighting, I have never been afraid of anyone."
Li Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at him, expressing disbelief.
Chu Feng looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "What kind of blow did you receive today?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, then smiled and said: "That's not true. I originally wanted to talk to Princess Qingyue about withdrawing the troops, but it's a pity that the woman's heart is too hard."
In the eyes of other guards, since they have already eaten the Black Salt City, there is no point in spitting it out.
"Their occupation was so smooth that they forgot that they should never dare to claim victory until the last minute of a war."
Chu Feng nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, and then laughed after a moment.
"I originally thought this would be an extremely difficult war, but seeing the Generalissimo's arrangements outside the city, and the fact that the Blackwater River was about to be dug, made me full of expectations for the upcoming war."
"I want them to know that even if they are young marshals, Dachu is still inviolable."
"No one can guarantee victory in a war, but it is much better for us to make more preparations than to wait to be beaten."
"Starting from tomorrow, this war will take a decisive turn... When the summer rain comes, it will be time for me to drive them back to Black Salt City."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the small stove on the table and said quietly.
"Okay! They thought we would just hide in the city in this hot weather, but they didn't expect that we had already started preparing for war. We are now quietly digging holes and burying people in a grand way one day."
Chu Feng was in a good mood and slapped the table heavily!
After a while, Chu Feng seemed to remember something, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "You won't let me do this digging holes and burying people, right?"
Li Xiuyuan turned around, glanced at him with disgust, and said with a smile: "I won't bother you with digging holes and burying people. Isn't that matter almost over... I prefer to do this kind of thing myself. "
Chu Feng sat aside and was shocked and speechless. In his opinion, Li Xiuyuan was just luckier than him at most. He didn't expect that all these ideas came from him.
And no matter how he analyzed it, there was no flaw. Like Chu Feiyan, he was also full of confidence in the upcoming battle. .
Chu Feng looked at Li Xiuyuan and suddenly said: "So, after this war is over, I can go back to the academy to practice together?!"
Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and replied calmly: "Don't you have confidence in yourself? In your current state... If you didn't go out for the academy, there is no need to go back, so as not to make everyone look bad. "
Chu Feng was stunned and quickly replied: "How is it possible? If I don't fight for Da Chu... I guess my elder sister will be the first one not to let me go, and my uncle definitely doesn't want me to fight for the academy."
Li Xiuyuan replied: "In that case, you can just stay in the imperial city and practice with peace of mind. In more than a year, it is good to be able to break through to a new level."
Chu Feng looked at him and smiled and said: "I boasted in front of my elder sister, saying that you would break through another realm for my two elder sisters later... How about that?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at him and said: "When? Now? You are crazy..."
"Wait a moment, don't worry." Chu Feng looked at him and smiled.
Chu Feng looked at the sky outside the hall, stood up and said: "I have to go back to the house and have a good sleep. From tomorrow on, I will go to the battlefield with the marshal, dig holes! Bury people!"
Li Xiuyuan also laughed when he heard this and said quietly: "Their good days are numbered."
...
I woke up very early in the summer morning, and just after a quarter of an hour, a ray of morning sun appeared on the horizon.
Since there was going to be a melee today, Li Xiuyuan asked Xiao Qing and Xiao Long'er to watch the battle at the city gate of the decisive battle for a while, and they were not allowed to set foot on the battlefield.
Xiaoqing naturally believed in Li Xiuyuan's abilities and would not object to his decision. To her, as long as Li Xiuyuan and Chu Feng were safe, it didn't matter if she slept in the City Lord's Mansion all day long.
The restless Xiao Long'er looked at Li Xiuyuan anxiously and asked: "Brother, Xiao Long'er is also very powerful, why don't you take me to fight?"
Li Xiuyuan touched her head and smiled: "Your mission is to watch your brother fight, not to run up and cause trouble. This is a melee of tens of thousands of people..."
He patiently reasoned with Xiao Long'er until Chu Feiyan's voice sounded outside the door.
