NOVEL NEXT Chapter 81 - countermeasures
Xia Chu returned to General Zhao’s tent and found that Zhao Shuangquan, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu were all here.
The situation is urgent, they are playing around the sand table and discussing countermeasures.
When Old General Zhao saw him come in, he asked him with a stern face, “But the person sent to check has returned?”
“Yes, five hundred miles away, 300,000 Hu troops camped.” Xia Chu’s tone was calm, not panicking.
However, other people in the account.
But, they all panic…
Xia Chu didn’t give them time to think about it, and leaned towards the sand table. He pointed around Han Yangcheng and said, “While the soldiers can still move, we must hurry up and lay out some traps. For example, rolling stones, hot oil, etc.”
Xia Chu pointed to the road leading directly to Hanyang City outside the fortress and said: “On this road 400 miles away, dig some horse pits along the way, a small circular hole about 30 cm deep. Wait for the horses of the cavalry to enter. Broken leg, they must stop for a while to check for traps.”
“This method is very good, but it can only be used once.” Zhao Shuangquan said.
Xia Chu nodded and said: “So there is no need to dig too much. After the investigation, they may switch to infantry first. Three hundred miles away, we need to set up hanging wood and wooden forks from both sides. They were panicked and had to investigate again. “
“You want to fight psychological warfare?” Zhao Xingwu asked.
“No, what I want most is time.” Xia Chu replied to Zhao Xingwu.
Fu pointed to a place 200 miles away from the road and said, “According to the previous rules, the enemy may be more careful here. So we don’t set up an ambush here and waste some time for them, but change it to a place 100 miles away. Dig the last trap, and put sharp wooden thorns in each of these traps. This way, whether it is a human or a horse, there will be no small loss.”
“Let me arrange this matter.” Zhao Xingwen said to General Zhao.
General Zhao nodded, and Zhao Xingwen went ahead.
“In such a short period of time, you have dealt with extremely well.” General Zhao’s tone was full of admiration.
Xia Chu sighed indiscernibly, how could it be such a short time.
He is definitely not as good as his grandfather, uncle and cousin in deploying soldiers to fight. During this period of time, when he had nothing to do, he kept flipping through the military parade books.
All he can do for them is to think about this road.
“How many soldiers are there in Qingcheng?” Xia Chu asked.
“There are only 20,000 defenders there,” Zhao Xingwu replied.
“Cousin Xingwu, go to Qingcheng and borrow the defenders.” Xia Chu said to Zhao Xingwu.
“It’s a drop in the bucket, and it’s not enough to solve the urgent need.” Hu Jun had 300,000 soldiers. Zhao Xingwu felt that 20,000 soldiers would be gone.
“Anything is better than nothing, only Qingcheng is the closest.” Xia Chu said in a deep voice.
“You go.” General Zhao ordered.
“Yes.” Zhao Xingwu led the order down.
“When Cousin Xingwu comes back, you can pick out a few elites from the defending army to form a small team and carry out a surprise attack in accordance with the traps just set up. If you don’t want to annihilate many enemy troops, you must make them physically and mentally exhausted.”
Zhao Shuangquan nodded and said, “I will arrange this.”
Xia Chu knew that his uncle was a good soldier, so he didn’t say more after a little mention. He changed the subject and asked Old General Zhao, “Grandpa, where is the nearest army stationed here?”
General Zhao pointed to the upper right corner of Hanyang City on the map and said, “Yu City, King Mo’s army.”
“King Mo’s army? How far is it from here?” Xia Chu asked.
“Eight hundred miles.” General Zhao glanced at Xia Chu and knew that he was moved to ask for help.
But.
“It’s too late.” General Zhao said in a low voice.
Hu Jun has already approached 500 miles away. Even if he sends someone to Yucheng for help now, it will take seven days to hurry up. Not to mention whether King Mo will agree to private transfer of troops, even if he comes out of camp, it will be three more than Hu Jun. Baili Road.
What’s more, there are still seven days in the past.
“It’s too late!” Xia Chu looked at General Zhao with a firm look.
General Zhao and Zhao Shuangquan were both stunned, how could it be so late?
“As long as my grandfather and uncle can command 20,000 defenders for five days after the Hu army attacked the city. Five days is fine, I will definitely be able to come with King Mo’s army.” Xia Chu said firmly.
“Five days?” General Zhao narrowed his eyes. Not to mention whether Xia Chu could arrive on time with King Mo’s army, it was extremely difficult to last for five days.
Xia Chu calculated that if he abandoned his horse and flew all the way, he would arrive in less than a day. Pulling on Xiao Mubai, he ordered his troops to set off immediately, and he was only a day behind.
Although there are 300 more miles, but now that Han Yang has sealed the city, the Hu people probably still don’t know what the physical condition of the soldiers in the city is.
For them, the day when the Zhao family’s army was powerless was the best time to send troops.
If they waited long enough, they might be able to wait for the early Xia, who came back with King Mo’s army.
Even if they don’t wait, their five hundred miles is a normal marching distance, and they will even walk cautiously and slowly, so as not to be discovered in advance by the scouts of the Zhao family.
As a result, he brought King Mo’s army all the way to rush here.
The difference is no more than five days.
Of course, the premise is that he has to call the Mo Wangjun.
“Yes! Old General Zhao, General Zhao.” Xia Chu gave his grandfather and uncle a military salute and said solemnly: “I will leave immediately, and in five days, I will bring King Mo’s army back to Hanyang City. , be sure to defend Hanyang City!”
“Okay.” Zhao Shuangquan was full of enthusiasm and returned a military salute to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu went to the account and stopped.
After thinking about it for a while, he turned around and told Old General Zhao: “Grandpa, Guo Weidong must be optimistic. That’s a royal family member.”
General Zhao looked shocked, and said solemnly to Xia Chu after a while: “Shuangquan and I suspected him of collaborating with the enemy before.”
Xia Chu frowned and asked, “I asked you earlier if something was wrong in your army, why didn’t you tell me then?”
General Zhao looked rather suspicious and said: “I’m chasing the wind, there is no evidence, so we will…”
“Let’s talk about this when we finish the battle, and take good care of him first.” Xia Chu didn’t complain, but urged him.
General Zhao nodded.
“Grandpa, uncle. You, you must wait for me to come back alive.” Xia Chu turned to face the outside of the tent.
“This is our agreement!”
After Xia Chu finished speaking, he opened the account and left.
The raven saw Xia Chu come out and followed.
Xia Chu turned around and looked up at Raven and said, “You haven’t recovered from your injury, and you still have six days to fully recover from your martial arts. You don’t have to follow me on this trip.”
Raven shook his head.
Xia Chu said solemnly: “I’m going to Yucheng this time to find reinforcements, and I will fly over with all my strength. With your current body, you can’t keep up with me.”
Raven lowered his head upon hearing this.
He knew that what Xia Chu said was the truth.
“Raven, I have more important things for you to do.”
“What’s the matter?”
“General Zhao, please. If, I mean if. If the city is broken, please protect their lives and take them away.”
Raven stared at Xia Chu’s eyes, and those eyes were full of hope and placed his trust in him.
“Okay,” Raven promised.
Xia Chu smiled gratefully, turned around and walked towards the exit of the barracks.
Xia Chu’s back gradually disappeared, and the raven stood outside General Zhao’s tent.
He looked up at the blue sky.
Look at the blossoming white clouds.
even if.
Han Yangcheng was broken.
The Zhao family all died.
I stand here alone, and I will guard it for you, the person you want me to protect.
