Chapter 118: Dujiang (Part 2)

It was foggy in the morning and it was very cold.

In the study, the general was still reading the documents.

"General, the time is up." A servant reminded him. When Li Chengguang heard this, he sighed and stood up: "Clean up this house and I'll go."

Immediately, a housekeeper urged the servant to clear the floor and the housekeeper personally cleaned up the Wendu case files scattered on the table one by one. None of these could be done with others.

When he got outside, his personal soldiers and confidants followed him. Li Chengguang stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation?"

"General, eight thousand young and strong in the county have already been conquered." A confidant replied.

Li Chengguang felt restless when he got up early. After hearing this, he felt more at ease. Since he knew that the Chu army had triggered, he issued an order to force eight thousand strong men.

These eight thousand people asked them to pick up weapons and prepare to resist the Chu army. This behavior naturally made the people panic and resentful, but Li Chengguang did not think it was wrong.

The county magistrate was dismissed for his crime and had no new prefect for a while. He was the chief official of the county. When such a great enemy was about to fight, he naturally had to rule it with military law.

Not only did they conquer the men, but they also sealed all the food and grass in the warehouse for military use.

At this time, I arrived at the front hall, and my confidant picked up the curtain and let the general go in.

I just went in, and I got into the seat. The room became quiet. It was not yet dawn, and the personal soldiers lit the lights and left silently.

At this moment, outside the hall, the deputy generals and lieutenants had arrived, standing in a row, staring at each other.

After a moment, Li Chengguang said, "Call in!"

Everyone entered in a row and said in unison: "Please pay tribute to the military gate!"

"Get up!" Li Chengguang had a square face, and his face showed a solemn look.

There was information in front of him that had been sent back in the past few days.

He has been sending people to put eyeliners in the opposite prefectures and counties, so that he can know the situation at any time and defend against the attack of the Chu army in time.

Li Chengguang still has some skills in the analysis of the war.

However, the Chu army did not make any moves for several days, and Li Chengguang could not guess Wang Hongyi's intentions.

Although he could not guess what Wang Hongyi had plans, Li Chengguang knew that once the Chu army crossed the river and arrived on land and the Wu Navy was defeated, the next step for the Chu army was to conquer the city and plunder the land and head straight for Jinling.

As the garrison of Yuanchang County, which is the only way to go, he will definitely have a war with the Chu army. Yuanchang County has elite soldiers and new troops, with a total of 20,000 people. He sent people to send the news back to Jinling. If it took a while, it would not be impossible to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, Li Chengguang always felt uneasy about the Chu army's delay in action.

Li Chengguang was uneasy, and most of the generals who were in charge of his head also looked uneasy.

Li Chengguang looked at the hazy Chaose outside, his face pale, and said, "The Chu army did not advance rashly, what do you think?"

If the Chu army relied on its troops and momentum to advance suddenly, there would be hope, but now it is steadily taking action, it immediately makes him feel heavy.

The generals looked at each other, no one spoke, and the words were objective and regular, and soldiers were not afraid of death, and officials were afraid of death.

How many people who have reached high positions in history will die if they are generous?

And even if they die, it depends on who they are. If the monarch who assists them is wise and kind, the country is booming, and they are thinking about the old relationship, even if they die on the battlefield, their wives and children will still enjoy glory.

Even if the country is in a weak position, it is orthodox, and death will inevitably lead to glory.

But now the situation is not the case, and I have seen it very well during this period. I won’t mention it before. Since the usurpation of the throne, Wei Yue’s temper has been popular all day long. Wu has indeed had many opposition voices. After killing several groups of people, Wei Yue is already extremely suspicious and has a bad temper. He is even more fond of taking off his anger and has killed many subordinates in a row.

There were a few elderly people who followed twenty people. Such things undoubtedly made them feel heartbroken, so no one spoke for a while.

But it is always a cold situation, and it is not enough. After thinking for a while, he took a step forward and said: "The army gates are full of enemies, but they are not attacking, and they are not going to go, or they are just making a mysterious and imitating the plan to seize Jingzhou that day, build a plank road openly, and secretly traveling to Chencang?"

"Nonsense, one time and another, it's hard to get out of control of the south, but it won't be able to fight against the Central Plains?" Li Chengguang scolded.

This will respond: "Yes, I will be foolish."

Retreat.

Seeing that the generals were in a cold situation again, Li Chengguang said, "The pseudo-king can have the current power, so it should not be underestimated... The line reports that there may be 200,000 troops. I think there may be 200,000, but there may be 100,000. At that time, the navy may not be able to stop it. What strategy is the emperor's consideration. We only consider guarding the city... Our county has only 20,000 defenders, and there are only 30,000 more troops, and 30,000 more troops are fighting against the enemy. It is still a little less. It is better to choose one person in the city, every household, to go out to fight. These people are all in the city. I believe that they will come to the battlefield. In order to protect their lives, these people will definitely fight to fight. Look... what is this countermeasure?"

Li Chengguang said slowly with a serious expression, but as soon as he said his words, the hall suddenly became silent.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Chengguang turned his gaze to his confidant Zhou Yunlong: "What do you think?"

"Military Gate, there is a saying that should be said or not..." Zhou Yunlong hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly: "The Chu army gathered 200,000, all of them were elite. The people in the city forced to go to the battlefield. But without training, how could they fight against the Chu army 200,000?"

Other generals looked up at Zhou Yunlong, but they didn't expect that Zhou Yunlongju would say everything they thought.

Before Zhou Yunlong finished speaking, Li Chengguang's face became gloomy. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the deputy general shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? Since ancient times, those who are generals have protected the city and protected the land. Even though they die, they are still honored. All the people in the county are the people of the Wu Dynasty. They are loyal to the emperor and defend the city and the family. It is their responsibility. Foreign enemies invade, and they do not swear to defend the country and live in vain. What does this mean?"

"Don't hurry and ask him to continue!" Li Chengguang had murderous intent in his heart and said with a smile: "It's clear to both listen!"

Zhou Yunlong is a general under Li Chengguang's tent. He is famous for his strict military discipline and magnanimity in the military camp. He is very popular. Although he is not Li Chengguang's direct descendant, he was already a general here as early as when the previous defender was there. Therefore, he has a deep foundation and is very popular. Li Chengguang usually focuses on winning over. When he heard this today, he was furious.

Saying this at this time can be considered a disruption of the morale of the army.

However, there is nothing wrong with the analysis at present, so he pressed down on the fire. Li Chengguang asked him to say that his murderous intent was already awesome. As long as he crossed the line, he could kill him.

Zhou Yunlong was not a Ben. Seeing the situation, he knew something was wrong. He changed his tone and said, "The eight thousand new soldiers in the city are no longer in combat. If the people are allowed to come on stage, it will probably only increase casualties, but will disrupt the front line. Please give the army a clear guide."

After a change of breath, he retreated. If you talk about tactical issues simply, you will be incriminating.

"What? General Zhou repeatedly said these disgusting words, what is the purpose of?" Li Chengguang looked at him with a gloomy expression: "In the war, the morale of the army is disrupting. Could it be that General Zhou is dissatisfied with the general's decision? Or... want to surrender to the Chu army?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yunlong's face turned pale.

"I will never have this intention!" He hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Hmph, then don't say too much and go down and prepare for the war!" Li Chengguang said coldly. If he hadn't retreated just now, Li Chengguang would have killed him. Now that this person cannot be killed, he would have scolded him and ordered him to retreat.

Then he ordered that according to his countermeasures, he began to force the people to prepare to defend against the enemy.

Almost at the same time, the two armies had already entered a battle on the river.

The Wu army naval division had already prepared for a long time. After sending troops and generals, they fought against the Chu army naval division on the river.

On the Chu army's flagship, Lu Suhai stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes staring at the front.

I saw the sun passing through the fog, and the faint sound of killing came like a tide of tide.

In the fog, we can faintly see the enemy and our warships fighting each other. Countless soldiers nervously and skillfully poured their crossbows down, and their own muskets made a "bang" sound.

Suddenly, the surging crowds on the deck screamed, and the screams of killing almost overwhelmed the sound of the rushing water in the river.

The two armies were unmoved at all, and waves of war were fighting each other, and the rain of arrows and stones continued to fall. Light red blood appeared on the deck and on the river surface, and continued to emerge along the water flow.

"Boom, boom!" This is the explosion of Tao Lei and Hand Fire Thunder. It is different from the first time I encountered it last time. This time I seemed to have some experience and no longer panic.

Strictly speaking, the power of Tao Lei and Hand Fire Lei is not too great, but after the bombing, a large number of flesh and blood limbs flew out and fell down. After the explosion, there was a big hole on the deck, and fireworks were everywhere. The interlaced corpses piled up into a ball, and the crackling fires burned around.

The enemy generals gathered around and encouraged and commanded, and issued orders to put out the fire without retreating for a while.

The fog gradually dissipated, Lu Suhai looked a little young, his expression was still firm, and he looked at the melee situation on the river, and his color had not changed at all. He just sighed and said, "The Wu navy is so brave. It seems that Wei Yue's foundation in the army has not been completely wiped out!"

Behind Lu Suhai, there were a group of lieutenants, and hundreds of elite soldiers and guards. These guards were all burly between the ages of 20 and 25, and they shot fierce murderous intent in their eyes. It was obvious that they had been on the battlefield many times.

However, the war was difficult to end for a while, but Lu Suhai was not in a hurry. He just stood silently, looking at the situation, as if waiting for something to happen.

"Grandmaster..." someone suddenly walked to his side and whispered.

Lu Suhai turned to see, but it was the Thirteen Si Qianhu who followed the army.

"Sir Shang, is there any news?"

"Grandmaster, the navy has already surrendered. I just secretly sent the news in the banner, and they will act immediately." The Qianhu said.

Lu Suhai nodded and said with emotion: "That's good, Wang Shanghongyun!"
