Chapter 544
She knows the truth and reality of the southern army best.
This ten thousand people can only use four thousand, and the remaining six thousand are useless. It is fine when the wind is good, and it can strengthen its momentum. Once it encounters adversity, it may collapse, which will lead to the collapse of the entire southern army.
In her opinion, it would be better to use these 4,000 people directly.
Once Dayong's army is deployed, there will probably be at least 50,000 or 60,000, or even 100,000 troops.
It is not very powerful to fight one against two or even three. It is almost impossible to defeat 20,000 with 10,000 people.
Not to mention ten thousand enemies, fifty thousand, and ten thousand, there is no chance of winning.
The army is approaching, and these ten thousand people may be vulnerable. If it weren't for Li Chengkong, she wouldn't have had any hope.
Li Chengkong was setting up a formation and used it to make up for the gap in number of people.
But this method has a flaw. If you face tens of thousands of people, the power of the formation may not be able to be exerted.
Tens of thousands of people were overwhelming and stretched for several miles, and his formation could not cover such a vast range.
As soon as Li Chengkong and Dugu Shuming returned to the princess's mansion, they had just stepped into the gate of the princess's mansion and turned the screen wall. Yuan Ziyan, wearing purple clothes, rushed over and whispered: "Master, you have been guessed!"
"Are you really coming here?"
"Well, the 30,000 troops are rushing into three groups. The first team is expected to arrive in Zhenbeicheng within three days!"
"Three days..." Li Chengkong frowned.
"The first route is from Changchun City, with a total of 8,000 iron cavalry, the second route is from Wanliu City, with a total of 18,000 iron armored soldiers, and the third route is Huanghua City, with a total of 5,000 Xuanbiao soldiers." Yuan Ziyan said: "Changchun City is the closest to you, and you can reach it within three days!"
Li Chengkong nodded: "It's fast enough!"
"Soldiers are very fast," Dugu Shuming frowned and said, "These eight thousand iron cavalry may not be dealing with Tiannan City, but our southern border?"
"What the princess said is exactly." Yuan Ziyan nodded slightly: "Their target is not Tiannan City, but our southern border. After we are preparing to stay in Zhenbei City, replenish our supplies, we will rush straight to the southern border!"
"Um..." Li Chengkong pondered.
Dugu Shuming said: "Eight thousand iron cavalry..., Dayong's iron cavalry should not be underestimated, we cannot defeat it!"
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "You can't fight hard, let them do it!"
"Master, do you want to delay their march?" Yuan Ziyan said: "The cavalry can only walk along the avenue. We can destroy the main road and thus hinder their march."
"No need." Li Chengkong shook his head and said, "Have all the people in the southern area moved into the deep mountains, right?"
Yuan Ziyan said: "I have checked twice, and no grain has been left!"
"Well, it's very good." Li Chengkong nodded with satisfaction: "Then there is no need to block their way, let them arrive as soon as possible!"
"Yes." Yuan Ziyan responded with a crisp voice, turning around and leaving.
——
When the eight thousand cavalry rushed to the road, they were as if the earth was moving and the mountains were shaking. Wherever they passed, yellow dust rolled, like a yellow dragon rising.
They rushed to the bottom of Zhenbei City in one breath and saw thick smoke rolling over Zhenbei City, covering the sky and the sun.
The sky above Zhenbei City seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, covering half of the sky, making Zhenbei City seem to be in the evening.
The man in the golden armored man in front of him said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
A young man with silver armor next to him clasped his fists: "General, I'll go and ask!"
Jin Kai middle-aged man waved his hand.
The young man with silver armor jumped off his horse and shot towards the city wall like a meteor, shouting loudly: "I am Duan Rui, Changchun Camp, someone will reply!"
With more than a dozen crossbow arrows aimed at him, he fell to the wall, stood in front of a middle-aged man, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on in the city?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Deputy General Duan of Changchun Camp?"
"It's this general!" Duan Rui said coldly: "What's going on when answering me?"
"Ah..." the middle-aged man sighed.
Duan Rui frowned: "Don't tell me that it's food and grass!"
"General Duan is indeed the place where the food and grass are located." The middle-aged man said helplessly: "He has sent heavy troops to guard it!"
"Waste!" Duan Rui shouted coldly: "Go and have a look!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "General Duan, no one can get close to him without the general's order!"
"Where are your generals?"
“…”
"You don't know where he is?" Duan Rui said: "Didn't go to the city guard's mansion to ask?"
"There is no general in the city guard's palace, and no one knows where the general has gone."
"Your city guard is General Zhou Wanhua, right?"
"yes."
"...Zhou Wanhua!" Duan Rui shouted loudly.
His voice was like a bell, and the rolling sound spread out in the sky, spreading across half of the town north city.
But there was no response.
Duan Rui shouted again: "Zhou—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The sound was even deeper, like a huge bell hitting, shaking the ears of people around him.
But after the sound passed, there was still no response.
Duan Rui's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Go to the city guard's mansion to have a look!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly followed him, and the two of them used their light skills to jump directly off the city wall and soon arrived at the city guard mansion.
Four guards stood outside the city guard's mansion. Seeing them, they did not stop them and allowed them to enter the mansion.
The palace was in chaos, and everyone was looking for the guards of Daicheng. General Zhou Wanhua, but Zhou Wanhua seemed to have evaporated from the world.
"What are you waiting for? Go and see the food and grass!" Duan Rui roared angrily: "Go quickly!"
The two flew to the location of the food and grass, saw thick smoke rolling, and saw the soldiers who were busy watering them, all of which were smoked black.
The food and supplies prepared for the army were piled up like mountains, but at this time it turned into ashes everywhere. The food and grass that was about to burn out emitted rolls of black smoke, but it was impossible to save anything after pouring buckets of water.
Duan Rui's face was as gloomy as iron, and he slowly said, "There is only this warehouse?"
"This is the only place." The middle-aged man sighed.
"Zhou Wanhua!" Duan Rui roared angrily.
The soldiers around him looked over, but did not stop and continued to carry the bucket and water it, trying to save some food and grass.
Duan Rui gritted his teeth: "Silly pig!"
He really didn't know what to say if he could do such a stupid thing.
The middle-aged man whispered: "The general once summoned everyone to ask how to preserve the food and grass. In the end, everyone discussed and thought that they would store it in one place and use elite troops to guard it, so as to be foolproof, but they didn't expect..."
"Nothing is wrong?" Duan Rui was so angry that he felt pain. He covered his stomach and gritted his teeth and said, "How can there be no such thing as foolproof in the world?!"
Middle-aged man is silent.
As the city gate official, he actually agrees to keep it in one place. If it is scattered, it may not be able to keep it in one place.
"General Duan, the brothers from Changchun Camp are entering the city now?"
"Enter the city? Enter the city!" Duan Rui cursed and gritted his teeth: "What should I eat and drink after entering the city?!"
He turned around and left, quickly floated out of the city wall, and reported the situation inside the city to General Jin Kai.
General Jinkai Yi Hanyuan said slowly: "Go to the southern border!"
"Yes!" Duan Rui said in a deep voice: "General, if there is no food or grass in the southern border..."
"It is said that the southern border is not the same as before, it is already rich." Yi Hanyuan's facial features were handsome and smiled slightly: "Let your brothers enjoy it."
"General is wise!" Duan Rui smiled.
