The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 171 A Team of Soldiers

Although Li Chuang didn't want to retreat, his morale was gone, so he had no way to continue, so not long after Jia Yan left, Li Chuang reluctantly announced his withdrawal.

As night fell, Cangting, a shadow walked into Li Chuang's mansion. After meeting Li Chuang, he briefly said a few words, and Li Chuang led this person into the study.

Li Chuangping retreated all the servants, and the two of them entered the study room. They didn't know what they were doing. After an hour passed, the black shadow left the study room and slowly walked into the night.

…………

The golden rooster is announcing the dawn, and the sun in winter is very stingy. It is not until Chenshi that it slowly emerges from the clouds, and will bring a ray of warm sunshine to the city of Yangping.

Changsun Ji came out of the room yawning. He didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Yesterday, there was such a fierce battle by the river, although he was slightly better in the end, but the casualties were heavy, especially Guo Dingxin was also injured.

He has seen Guo Dingxin's injury, the trauma is not very serious, but the hidden weapon that hurt Guo Dingxin is poisonous.

Although the toxins have been expelled now, the strength of a body is at least half of what it used to be.

There was a lack of capable generals, and there was a lot of wear and tear on the soldiers yesterday, so he changed his combat strategy.Last night, he was also discussing this matter with many soldiers.

Finally decide on a strategy.Now the line of defense for the Liang army crossing the river can no longer be defended. Instead of wasting troops in that place for nothing, it is better to take the troops back into the city, preserve the power, and deal with the Liang army after the Liang army crosses the river.

Even talking about some methods of Zhou Xuan, Changsun Ji has already thought about it in his heart, that is, being a mouse feces in the Liang army, although it cannot cause too much damage to the Liang army, it can disgust them to death.

As long as they stick to the city, they can block the grain army for a while. Anyway, their purpose of attacking the grain army is to create time for Xue Zhongzheng to cut off the grain of the grain army in the rear.

If the Liang army jumped directly over Yangping and went all the way north, then he was going to harass the Liang army behind and use rogue tactics to intercept the Liang army's northward march in a guerrilla manner.

However, there is another condition for all this, that is, there must be enough food in the city.Otherwise, let alone blocking the Liang army, the Liang army only needs to besiege the city to starve them to death.

Thinking of this, Changsun Ji became angry again.Cursing secretly: "Damn Xia Houchun, you almost missed my plan."

Just as Changsun Ji was thinking, a soldier ran from a distance, covered in blood, shouting, "Report."

Seeing the appearance of this soldier, Changsun Ji's heart sank.

Sure enough, the soldier ran up to Changsun Ji and reported, "General, the Liang army has started crossing the river again."

Changsun Ji nodded, indicating that he knew, and then said to the soldier, "Go and find General Guo."

"Obey." The soldier took the order and left.

When the soldiers retreated, Changsun Ji sighed.He was a little puzzled. He didn't know why the Liang army attacked so violently. After such a battle yesterday, the morale of the Liang army was completely lost. It stands to reason that they should rest for a few days to improve their morale before attacking the city.But today the siege started again.

And the food in the city simply cannot give Changsun Ji the confidence to seal the city.Before Wang Gang brought in the food, he could only attack the strong with the weak and fight hard against the grain army on the river bank.

While Changsun Ji was in deep thought, Guo Dingxin came over, and after saluting to Changsun Ji, he asked, "General, the Liang army has crossed the river again. You let me fight. This time I have to shoot that shit leader for you." return."

Changsun Ji looked at Guo Dingxin, saw that he was still full of confidence, smiled and said: "This time there is no need to fight, stay in the city and defend the city. I will go to the battlefield in person to strengthen the morale of our army."

Upon hearing Changsun Ji's words, Guo Dingxin was a little anxious, and said, "General, what do you mean? Don't look at me with a little injury, but this injury is just a skin trauma to me. This night It’s already ready, if you don’t believe me, touch it.”

As he said that, he also hammered his chest with his fist, showing that he was still very strong.

Seeing him like this, Changsun Ji felt a little funny.But he opened his mouth solemnly and said: "Don't think that guarding the city and not being able to kill the enemy is a trivial matter, so relax about it. This city is related to our final retreat. I just fancy your ability. Give this important position to you, don't let me down."

As he spoke, Changsun Ji patted him on the shoulder to show his respect.

When Guo Dingxin saw Changsun Ji saying this, his face turned red and he groaned for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and finally said in a playful way: "General, I can't say no to you, but I don't care. I don't defend the city. I don't care. I really can't do this, General."

As he said that, Guo Dingxin blinked at Changsun Ji, and asked tentatively: "General, why don't you change positions between General Wang and me, I think he is more suitable for defending the city. General He is also fine. That kid is so stable, I am very optimistic about him..."

As Guo Dingxin was talking, seeing that Changsun Ji's expression was a little off, he immediately closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.

Changsun Ji glanced at him angrily, and scolded: "Don't you want to be poor, don't you want to respect the order of the army? Guard the city well for me. If you lose the city, I won't spare you."

After all, he stopped dawdling with Guo Dingxin, and ordered the guards to put on armor for him, and with weapons and a group of soldiers, Changsun Ji went out of the city and set out towards the river.

It goes without saying that fighting against the Liang army is a battle. At this point in the war, the morale of both sides is fighting. As the main general, Changsun Ji played in person, which is a great encouragement to the soldiers. Relying on the river is still not a general of the Liang army. Attack over.

However, morale is not a long-lasting thing. When the battle was fought from morning to afternoon, physical fatigue had already numb the spirit, and the morale of Yangping defenders had begun to slump.

Relying on the advantage of numbers, the Liang army has already attacked the shore, and the original water battle has also begun to slowly develop into the amphibious battlefield on the water.In this regard, Changsun Ji had no choice but to rely on a river, they had blocked the Liang army for a long time, and now, they could only do their best and obey the destiny.

Just when Changsun Ji was tired of fighting the Liang army, a group of soldiers outside Yangping City rode their horses towards the city gate, and finally pulled the reins in front of the city and shouted at the city gate: "Open the gate quickly, we There is an important military request to see General Guo."

Hearing the shouting from below, the soldiers guarding the city wall looked down condescendingly, and saw that this group of troops was wearing the uniform of the Yan army, and both their bodies and their horses were covered with blood.It seemed that he had just retreated from the battlefield.
