The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 351 Counterattack Plan

Just when Gu Yuzhi was about to ask Qi Chengjun more about his visit to Huizhou, Guard Zhang suddenly came in in a hurry.

"Your Highness." Guard Zhang cupped his hands, "Your Highness, the guerrilla general General Liu has confessed. But now there is bad news. They communicate with each other at three o'clock every day to confirm each other's safety."

He looked out at the sky and said, "Obviously, it's already past three o'clock."

Guard Zhang even had a reasonable suspicion that General Liu had deliberately delayed it until past three o'clock to let others know that something was wrong with them, so that other naval forces guarding outside the city gate could attack Huizhou.

As soon as Guard Zhang finished speaking, he heard a guard from the Qi Mansion hurriedly enter the door and saluted Prince Qi: "Master Qi, the other three city gates have sent back news, saying that there has been movement among the navy besieging the city."

Originally, it was just to surround and prevent the people of Huizhou from entering and exiting, in order to threaten Qi Guogong, and also to make Qi Chengjun compromise for the sake of the people of Huizhou.

The King of Chu was not really crazy, so he allowed all the people in Huizhou to be buried with Qi Chengjun alone.

If he wants to be emperor, he must have the support of the people.

The siege also wanted the people to turn their support and love for Qi Chengjun into hatred after losing their freedom.

But the situation is different now. An incident occurred at Anning Gate, and a thousand naval forces were wiped out. The soldiers of the other three gates put away their camp items, formed a formation outside the city, and at the same time sent people to give the news to the King of Chu.

Qi Chengjun has begun to resist. Will King Chu take action against Huizhou, or send more soldiers to continue the siege of Huizhou?

Upon hearing the news, Qi Chengjun stood up suddenly, his face changed slightly, and his voice changed the tone: "What did you say?"

The guard repeated solemnly: "Except for Anning Gate, the soldiers of the other three gates have already made some movements. Zhu Shoubei has ordered all city gates to be closed. Zhu Shoubei asked me to ask Mr. Qi for instructions on what to do next?"

Qi Chengjun subconsciously turned to look at Gu Yuzhi.

Now that King Wen is here, he can no longer make the decision on Huizhou’s affairs alone.

Gu Yuzhi's eyes widened and he looked at Qi Chengjun and then at Xie Changshi. When he saw that neither of them spoke, he jumped out of his chair.

He imitated Judge Qin's gesture and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. Suddenly he tilted his head and looked at Qi Chengjun with a big smile on his face: "Prince Qi, what do you think we should do?"

Although Qi Chengjun was a little confused, he also knew that he and the King of Chu had different positions. Even if he opened the gates of Huizhou City and invited the King of Chu to enter, the King of Chu would never spare his life.

This battle will happen sooner or later, but he just doesn't want the people of Huizhou to suffer.

Gu Yuzhi had been taught by Xie Changshi in the past two years, so he could naturally see Qi Chengjun's entanglement in his expressions.

He stepped forward and tugged on Qi Chengjun's sleeve and said, "I think we can fight!"

In Qi Chengjun's surprised eyes, Gu Yuzhi clenched his small fists and said word by word with extra determination: "And we should clear out the navy of these three sects before Brother Chu Wang can react."

The reason why he said this was because he remembered what Xie Changshi said before.

The Jiangnan Navy is likely to besiege Qi Guogong. There should be no reinforcements for these four thousand soldiers.

In the previous battle, because they were afraid of attracting the attention of other city gates, only Qi Chengjun's guards followed him out of the city gate, but it was different now. They could use the defenders, and naturally they could also use bows and arrows.

He hummed and said: "We've all been discovered anyway, it's better to just start the war." After hearing what Gu Yuzhi said, Mr. Huo consciously placed the map of Huizhou on the square table. Gu Yuzhi pointed to the other three city gates and said: " Mr. Huo, Guard Zhang, let's take a look at the map first and confirm our plan."

Naturally, this was mainly addressed to Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo took a look at the terrain of Huizhou, pointed to the city gate next to the canal and said: "The city gate here is also close to the mountain, and behind the mountain is the canal."

Qi Chengjun nodded in response: "This mountain is not as rugged as the mountain on the Anning Gate side, but precisely because of the obstruction of this mountain, I couldn't detect any movement on the Navy side."

Mr. Huo took over and said: "As I said before, I am not good at water warfare. There are 500 defenders in Huizhou City, plus the 300 elite soldiers brought by His Highness. Using tactics, we can naturally annihilate these 3000. Human.”

Qi Chengjun's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Mr. Huo, our total number of people is less than one thousand, while the other party's is three thousand..."

Even if you win with less, that's not how it works, right?

What's more, the city defenders usually do most of the work to maintain order in the city. Where have they ever encountered real battles...

Qi Chengjun was full of worries, but he also knew that he was just a civil servant and could not fight. He could just listen to Mr. Huo and His Highness King Wen.

If you are discouraged, you must not say it at this time.

Hearing Qi Chengjun's questioning, Mr. Huo said nothing, but looked at Gu Yuzhi with encouragement in his eyes, apparently asking him to express his thoughts.

Gu Yuzhi then scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed, pointing to the city gate next to the canal and said: "Yuding Gate is close to the mountain, so we can't attack with fire during the battle, but the other two gates can ah."

He pointed at the east and west city gates with his little hand: "These two city gates are facing the official road. There is nothing on the official road. If you attack with fire, you don't have to worry about causing a fire or anything."

"What we have to do now is to let the defenders light up their weapons. The most important thing is bows and arrows."

He looked at Qi Chengjun and said: "In addition, since Anning Gate is already safe, Prince Qi, we can also arrange for someone to go outside the city to collect some stones and bring them back."

Weapons for fighting include not only swords, but also things like bows and arrows. Stones and tree stumps can all be used.

The defenders don't have too many weapons, so they naturally save what they can.

Mr. Huo nodded while listening. He was obviously satisfied with the arrangements made by Gu Yuzhi. After giving Gu Yuzhi an affirmative look, he went on to complete the entire strategy.

Before putting the map away, Mr. Huo whispered: "What we want to do this time is a quick victory, so as soon as it gets dark, we will attack the three city gates at the same time."

He glanced at Zhu Shoubei who came in at an unknown time and said: "Your Highness, Zhu Shoubei and I, the three of us will each guard a city gate."

Mr. Huo looked at Guard Zhang: "Guard Zhang and two hundred elite soldiers are following His Highness. I only need 300 city defenders here. The remaining 100 elite soldiers and two hundred city defenders will follow Zhu Guardiary."

He knelt down and looked at Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, can you stay at Yudingmen?"

Gu Yuzhi nodded: "Of course!"

His little face was tense, his big eyes rolled, and he already had a counterattack plan in his mind...
