Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 391 Blitz Five

The blizzard was heavy and covered the sky.

Chaoge City had been covered with a layer of silver, and a few people came in and out at the gate of the city, and the soldiers were cowering and hiding from the snowflakes.

At this time, less than fifteen roads away from Chaoge South City Gate, a flag loomed.

This flag is black and cold.

A datura flower is blooming.

"Master Captain, four days, we arrived at Chaoge City in only four days!" Military Marquis Zhang Shi looked up at the faintly visible Chaoge City, feeling a little excited.

In this snowy weather, a journey of [-] miles is comparable to a journey of [-] miles.

Even if they spend half a month on the road, it's justified.

But it took them only four days to reach Chaoge City. This speed is absolutely unquestionable.

"It's not our credit, it's the prince!"

Chen Dao said in a low voice: "If the prince hadn't made something like a sled, under the snow, even if we exhausted our energy, we would not be able to travel so fast. It wouldn't be like today, not only saving energy, but also speeding up the march! "

"The prince can always turn decay into magic at critical moments!"

Zhang Shi said in admiration.

As the first batch of Jingping Wubeitang students, he regards Mujing as the spirit.

"We are not happy yet!"

Chen Dao shook his head, took a deep breath, An held back the excitement in his heart, and said calmly: "The order goes on, the scouts are sent out for a mile, and all the soldiers rest on the spot. You must supervise the soldiers under your command and eat at least one rice. Even if you can’t eat biscuit food, you still have to eat it. We’ve already exhausted our energy during the journey, and we must restore our energy, because next, we have to fight to the death!”

In this kind of weather, life is not allowed, and water is not allowed to be boiled. It is very difficult to eat those cold rice biscuits, but in order to restore physical strength, even if it is difficult, one must eat.

"promise!"

The generals surrendered.

The three thousand soldiers rested on the spot, not daring to light a fire. In the cold wind and snow, they huddled together back to back to keep warm, holding rice cakes frozen into ice cubes in their hands, and eating with difficulty.

"Without news from Chaoge City, it's not easy for us to fight. We don't know how to deploy their defenses, and we can't find the weakness of their defense line. If the surprise attack is not in the right place and hits the place where their troops are strongest, there may be accidents!"

Half an hour later, Chen Dao summoned all the military lords of the Fifth Battalion to discuss the night attack.

"Didn't Jing Wusi say that he would send news!"

"It's not here yet, I'm afraid it's hard to believe!"

"Why don't we send scouts to inquire about the terrain!"

"Not good, I'm not familiar with the place. If we encounter scouts grazing on the other side, we will reveal our whereabouts in advance and lose the effect of surprise attack, and we will go on our way in vain!"

All the military lords spoke one after another.

"We wait for three hours!"

Chen Dao pondered for a while: "If there is no news from Jing Wusi within three hours, we will directly attack the south gate in the middle of the night!"

"No!" All the military marquises nodded in agreement with Chen Dao's decision.

"Now let's discuss first, once we successfully take down the defense of the South City Gate!"

Chen Daodao: "The main force of Jingping led by Shizi should take a few more days, so after we take down the city wall, we must not be greedy for fighting, but must stick to it. As long as we take down a corner of the city wall, it is equivalent to tearing the entire Chaoge defense line. This is what we need to achieve in a surprise attack!"

They are the vanguard, one step ahead, marching with 1 soldiers is a few days faster than marching with more than [-] soldiers.

The more soldiers and horses there are, the more problems there are in marching.

He cupped his hands and faced the generals: "Everyone, the prince has placed high hopes on us, and we must not disappoint the prince. If this battle is successful, even if it is the last person in the battle, my fifth battalion must stick to the city gate and wait for help!"

If they can successfully take down the city wall, then the next task is to stick to it and wait for help.

After all, they were short of troops, and it was impossible to use thousands of soldiers and horses to wipe out the [-] to [-] Hanoi troops in the city. Even if their morale was high, if they were defeated by them with fewer victories, the vitality of the fifth battalion would be seriously injured.

So waiting for the main force is the best decision.

"Lord Colonel, don't worry, our Fifth Battalion is not afraid of death!"

The soldiers said loudly.

"it is good!"

Chen Dao raised a firm smile slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Go to rest and recover your strength. In the second half of the night, it must be a fierce battle!"

"promise!"

The generals seized the time to recover their strength, some closed their eyes, and some simply fell asleep next to the soldiers next to them.

While waiting, an hour passed.

It is evening.

The sky is misty, and it is not far from nightfall.

At this time, a few figures relied on the cover of the wind and snow and the gloomy night to get rid of the Jingping scouts who were on guard around them, and walked in abruptly.

"Who?"

Chen Dao sat cross-legged on the boulder after clearing the snowflakes, closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, shouted loudly, the long sword in his waist was unsheathed in an instant, with a flash of cold light, pointing at a person's throat, the whole body The movements are smooth and flowing, and they are done in one go.

"Someone came in!"

"Could it be discovered!"

"Who is so bold?"

"There are really few people who are so bold and dare to touch the army. Who are you?"

The generals gathered around, and someone raised a faint torch, illuminating the small area, exposing the figures of several men in black to the flames.

"Who are you?"

Chen Dao asked coldly.

"Deputy General Jing Ping, Captain of the Fifth Battalion, the number one favorite general of the son, Chen Dao, Chen Shuzhi, they really deserve their reputation!"

This is a young man, he holds the hilt of the long sword at his waist, his throat is exposed to Chen Dao's sword, he is not afraid at all, but said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he took out a token and reported his family name: "Jingwu Division Hanoi Banner Envoy, Qu Yu!"

"People from Jingwu Division?"

The generals peek at each other.

"It's Jing Wusi's token!" Chen Dao retracted his sword, his eyes were a little cold, and he glanced over, looking at each of his favorite generals: "What are you doing here, why don't you check your defenses? Can people touch me, is my Jingping Fifth Battalion just a display?"

"Yes!"

The generals were silent like cicadas, and their faces were ashamed and indignant
It's really not a glorious thing to be touched into the camp by outsiders. It's incompetent. If it's the enemy, I'm afraid several people will die at this time.

"Hanoi Lengshui Sword, Qu Yu, it is rumored that his body skills are peculiar, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Chen Dao stared at Qu Yu, this is a ranger, a Hanoi ranger, but was recruited by Jing Wusi, this Jing Wusi surprised him a bit, the seemingly inconspicuous Jing Wusi probably controlled a lot of power.

"Captain Chen has won the prize!"

Qu Yu got straight to the point: "This is the defense layout of the entire Chaoge City. The time period and tasks are heavy, and it is not very detailed. Some of the troops have not been found out, but the general distribution of troops in the city is clear!"

"The least number of troops on the east wall?" Chen Dao spread out the blueprint, looked at it, and frowned slightly.

"That's the news. I heard that Wang Kuang has only a thousand soldiers in the east. We also have some doubts, but it's too late to be sure!" Qu Yu said.

"What about the southern wall?"

"There are a full three thousand troops here!"

"sure?"

"It is basically confirmed that the two battalions are composed of young and strong soldiers from Huai County and soldiers from Wen County. At least [-] troops are not many!"

"Do you have a detailed topographic map of the South City Gate?"

"There is one!"

Qu Yu took out a topographic map and handed it to Chen Dao.

Holding the torch in his hand, Chen Dao took a closer look. It was an arc-shaped city wall with a protruding head and two sides retracted. If it was a frontal attack, it would not be very easy to fight, but if it was a sneak attack, it would be a good terrain.

"What do you think?" After thinking for a quarter of an hour, Chen Dao asked the soldiers.

"Fight to the east, with the least number of troops, maybe it's best to fight!"

"Surprisingly, the north is the best, but you have to take a detour!"

"Let's go to the south, it's too late, there is no need to waste time and continue on the road, and there will be fewer extra problems!"

All the soldiers suggested one after another.

"The troops in the east are not stable, and the two sides in the northwest have been going for too long. Take stability as the best policy and don't fight uncertain battles!"

Chen Dao was quite decisive. After gathering the opinions of all the generals, he did not hesitate and made a decisive decision immediately: "Let's attack the south gate!"

"If it's the south gate, this gap is easier to make. The city wall of Chaoge City has been built for many years, and some old parts have not been repaired in these years. It looks good, but in fact it is just a pile of bluestones, which will fall apart with a push!"

"Just hit from here!"

Chen Dao believed that Qu Yu and Jing Wusi were good at using local snakes as eyeliners. The local snakes were naturally familiar with the local conditions, and he also believed that Jing Wusi would not let an untrustworthy person guide him.

"What time is it now?"

Chen Dao asked.

"It's already Youshi!" The guard in charge of the hourglass looked at the hourglass and said.

"Proceed with the order, continue to rest, and recover your strength. We will set off at midnight. Before dawn, we must take down the south gate and build fortifications on the spot!" Chen Dao ordered in a deep voice.

"promise!"

The generals took orders, and suddenly became quiet, even the light from the raised torches was extinguished.
