The information in Qi Zhen's head has been told to the two generals. It is just about marching and fighting, especially this kind of city defense battle. Qi Zhen is really not being modest. If it is really in the game , he can find ways to use his experience in chess and chess games to set up battles face to face with gongs and drums, just to see whose skill in using troops is stronger.
But the real battlefield is constantly changing, and the right time, place, and people are indispensable. It cannot be simulated in a war chess game. What’s more, this kind of war is not about the two sides opening up. You send out a hundred people, and I send out a hundred people. See which one survives in the end.
Qi Zhen was really unsure about this matter, so at this moment, he had to rely on the strategies of the two generals.
However, it should not be said that Qi Zhen has not experienced this kind of situation. Even the two generals who have experienced hundreds of battles have no experience in this kind of battle.
What's more, the situation between the enemy and ourselves is not clear now. Qi Zhen knows which of those people are wholeheartedly following Yuan Shu and which are sincerely cooperating with Huang Yueying to seize power. Now the two generals Zhang Qiao also know, but the most important thing is that Huang Yueying does not know. .
However, General Zhang Qiao's attitude was consistent with Qi Zhen's on one point, that is, before the matter became clear, the army led by Huang Yueying must not be allowed to step into Nanyang City.
If there is another uprising after arriving in Nanyang City, let alone Nanyang which only has 10,000 defenders, I am afraid that the entire Nanyang City will be plunged into a war.
It was not that Qi Zhen had never thought of loudly announcing Yuan Shu's death when facing the enemy, and making the names of the generals who had pretended to surrender known to the public, but based on two considerations, he gave up.
First, he was not sure whether Huang Yueying would be in danger after getting the news. Although Huang Yueying and Liu Bei were not fools, at that time, who knew what the generals in the military towns would do. Something is coming?
Secondly, the so-called human heart can never be as clear-cut as Go. After hearing the news of Yuan Shu's death, it is hard to say whether those military towns who were originally loyal to him will have the idea of respecting their own troops. I am afraid that there will be extra trouble.
There is one thing, whether it is Yuan Shu's party, the wallflowers or those who love Huang Yueying, they all have a consensus.
Nanyang County must not be chaotic on this day.
Under the premise that the stability of Nanyang City is the core of everything, no one is willing to take such a risk and leave Nanyang County devastated.
But once the news of Yuan Shu's death is announced, it will be difficult to say.
During this day and night, except for Qi Zhen who had been gesticulating, meditating, and calculating in front of the military map, the two generals Zhang Qiao had been going out alternately, constantly adjusting the deployment of the city defense troops according to Qi Zhen's requirements. .
The grain collected a few days ago was finally put to use at this time. All soldiers entered combat positions in advance and were not allowed to go home after the third shift. This ensured that when the enemy invaded, all soldiers would be able to fight. .
As for the civil servants, if not to mention Yuan Shu's good command, the two civil servants Yan and Yang once again made drastic changes to the civil service team with great perseverance, and used great efforts to stabilize possible chaos in government affairs. .
In just three days, there have been two huge changes in the personnel, and the government orders in Nanyang City can still be guaranteed to be stable and everything is as before. Thinking about it, Qi Zhen felt that it was really not easy for these two civil servants.
The pursuit of Qi Zhen seemed less urgent after dark.
This is nonsense, because those soldiers have to be in a state of high tension because they have to deal with the next enemy. How can they have time to hunt down a ghost-like fugitive?
It's just that the ordinary soldiers don't know exactly what they will face next.
The lieutenants on several levels knew about it, but they did not disclose it to all the subordinate soldiers, just like Yan and Yang knew that there was going to be a large army siege, but did not tell the civilian officials below about it.
This is the need for stability. After all, people's hearts are always restless.
Time passed minute by minute in this tense and uneasy atmosphere. In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day Qi Zhen came to Nanyang, and this day was also the day when the army invaded as agreed with Huang Yueying. .
The sun always rises in the east and sets in the west every day, seemingly repeating itself monotonically forever.
The people in the city were as usual, waking up when the rooster crows and working at sunrise.
But those who are interested can always see that today's Nanyang City is indeed very different from the past. A tense atmosphere continues to spread from various government offices and military camps to the entire city.
This morning, the city gate was open as usual, but what was different from usual was that the soldiers guarding the city gate almost pushed in the traffickers and lackeys.
Then, there was no more.
Outside the four city gates, the huge suspension bridge on the moat was slowly raised amidst the rattle of the noose at almost the same time. Then, the city gates were closed tightly.
The people who were about to leave the city were dumbfounded and asked the soldiers guarding the gate in confusion what had happened.
Maybe some of those people were really in a hurry, and some were just doing daily trade. Maybe they were travelers passing by and planning to rest overnight in Nanyang City before continuing on their way.
However, no matter how they asked, those soldiers remained silent and did not care at all what the other party said.
No one can answer these common people, what exactly happened in Nanyang City today, but everyone knows what happened - the city was closed.
Nanyang was closed down.
I'm afraid this is the first time since the establishment of Nanyang City.
Nanyang City, as an important transportation hub and almost the number one trade town between the south and the north, was closed for no apparent reason.
People in the city began to whisper, and a somewhat anxious atmosphere continued to ferment among the crowd.
The people in the city were anxious, and those outside who had not caught up with the wave of people who entered the city early in the morning were also anxious. However, because there was an extremely wide moat across the city, those people did not try to enter again. After discussing for some time, they slowly Disperse.
It was noon, and almost all the people in the city were searching for information from any available channels around them, desperately trying to find out what happened.
However, everyone is asking, which means that no one knows what it means.
So some people began to link today's closure of the city with Yuan Shu's death the day before, and rumors spread.
Some people say that the city is looking for criminals, and the suspects are extremely cunning, so the city must be closed down. Some people say that is not true. The county governor died that day, so why is the city closed now?
Some people say that the Sheriff is actually not dead, just to lure the man out.
Others say that the county governor was not dead at the time but is dead now, so the city was closed.
The rumors stopped with the wise men, but the wise men in the city had little time to refute the rumors.
But the rumor soon collapsed, because after noon, thunder sounded in Nanyang City.
Even a urchin as young as three or four years old can feel the vibration of the earth and can imagine how loud the thunder is.
The ground began to tremble, and the ash that had been placed rustled down. Blocked by the high wall, no common people could clearly see what was happening outside the city wall, but everyone was familiar with the sound.
That was the sound of horse hooves trampling the ground. In the months-long battle with the Golden Rebellion, such heavy sound of horse hooves often meant that the state army's cavalry was entering battle, preparing to charge the enemy.
But now...who is he trying to kill?
Let us turn our attention away from the restless common people and turn to the tower in the east of Nanyang City.
From here, you can clearly see all the movements on the plain east of Nanyang City.
Some soldiers had already opened their mouths slightly, looking at the black line that appeared in their sight and slowly approached with disbelief.
The black line is getting closer and closer to Nanyang City, and the shock it brings is getting stronger and stronger.
Not only the ground, but the entire city tower seemed to tremble due to the arrival of the other party.
Ten thousand five-baht coins may not occupy much space, but once the number of people and horses exceeds ten thousand, it can be described as boundless.
What's more, these soldiers and horses far exceed ten thousand.
The momentum brought by countless soldiers and horses was so shocking that even the two generals who were as calm as the two generals on the tower couldn't help but feel agitated at this time.
Not only excitement, but also a hint of fear.
The cavalry and infantry arrays moved forward slowly, and finally stopped a hundred meters away from the moat.
The sound of the military formation moving slowly subsided, but a murderous atmosphere came out of the formation, making countless soldiers on the city wall tremble with fear.
Such a huge military formation did not rush to attack Nanyang City, but stopped here for some reason. The military appearance was neat and silent.
General Qiao Rui on the city tower gave a wry smile: "I know they came from Pheasant County, and I also know how many people participated in the attack, but when I really saw this formation, I still can't help myself."
Zhang Xun's hand on the railing trembled slightly, and he sighed: "Who doesn't?"
"What are they waiting for?" Qiao Rui squinted her eyes and asked in confusion as she looked at the opponent who looked neat and majestic in military appearance, but his behavior was extremely coy.
"They are waiting for someone." A voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
A young man dressed as a soldier was standing behind the two generals, slightly staggered behind him, and spoke calmly.
"What are you waiting for?" The two generals did not look back, and it was still Qiao Rui who asked.
"We found out very quickly."
Before Qi Zhen could finish her words, she heard a deafening sound in her ears again.
Rumble...
"It's the North Gate!" Zhang Xun's eyes narrowed, and he quickly led Qiao Rui and Qi Zhen towards the North Gate.
Just like the east gate, the three people's field of vision was quickly occupied by countless soldiers and horses. Like the east gate, those soldiers and horses still stayed a hundred meters outside the moat and became quiet.
