AWB Chapter 227: Suspected troops, I have already made arrangements!
Chapter 227: Suspected troops, I have already made arrangements!
Su Fu really didn't expect Ye Chen to come in person.
He was ready to die.
Moreover, he racked his brains but couldn't understand why Ye Chen decided to march into Luo County.
This means facing the main force of the Beijing Camp.
This is too dangerous.
Could it be that it was really just to save him?
Su Fu felt a strange feeling in his heart, and his eyes looking at Ye Chen became complicated.
"Your Majesty, the main force of the Beijing Camp has arrived, and we only have a little over a thousand men. The enemy outnumbers us five or six times, and the walls of Luo County are low."
"If someone attacks forcefully, I'm afraid we really won't be able to stop them."
Su Fu said worriedly.
If it were before, he wouldn't have considered these issues at all. After all, he just needed to delay time.
But now that Ye Chen has come to Luo County, he has to seriously consider whether he can hold on.
"You don't have to hold on for too long, just one day will be enough!"
"By the way, I sent someone to make the announcement. How was the result?"
Ye Chen asked as he walked towards the northern city wall of Luo County.
"Your Majesty, the enemy general sent someone to say that those cavalry were bandits, trying to seduce the army, and he even used archers to drive them away."
Su Fu reported truthfully.
"Tsk, hum."
Ye Chen's face darkened slightly.
Very good, very good, you even dare to disobey the imperial edict.
This general of the Beijing camp is really bold and daring.
Such a bastard general deserves to be put to death!
Ye Chen walked to the north city wall like a dragon and a tiger, and then saw the Beijing army camping outside the city. He couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Thousands of ancient professional soldiers lined up on the plains, and the scene was quite spectacular.
These soldiers from the Beijing camp formed dozens of square formations, with flags flying and swords and spears standing tall, showing their bravery.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.
The scene before me was indeed quite shocking.
But Ye Chen quickly calmed down.
He thought for a moment.
"Someone, find a carpenter from the county town!"
Ye Chen suddenly waved his hand and gave an order.
Su Fu quickly sent for four carpenters from the city.
Luo County is not big at all, with a population of only a few thousand. These four carpenters are all the carpenters in the county.
"Build something for me. I'll give you two one hour. I want it today. The more you build, the better."
Ye Chen found a bamboo slip and drew a few strokes on it.
The four carpenters took their things and left.
Ye Chen stood alone on the city wall, looking at the army of the Beijing camp from afar.
"Your Majesty, the Beijing troops haven't surrounded Luo County yet. If we break out now, we can still escape."
Shen Qiu came to Ye Chen and suggested.
"No, if I leave now, the enemy will definitely chase me."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Besides, I have already deployed deceptive troops. If I withdraw now, won't it let the enemy see the true strength of my forces?"
"But Your Majesty, are the troops of the Beijing Camp really not going to attack?"
Shen Qiu said with a serious expression.
"will not."
Ye Chen was very confident and said, "Qiu'er, do you think that without the military token, all the officers in the Beijing camp will listen to Cao Tao?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, then thought seriously for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't think so. The officers in the Beijing camp and Cao Tao should be at odds with each other."
"That's right."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I have just deliberately created confusion and sent people to warn the troops in the Beijing camp in advance, so that they will think that there are many soldiers in Luo County."
"And these troops all have imperial decrees!"
"By now, all the officers in the Imperial Guards should have gone to talk to Cao Tao. Just to appease these people will take most of the day."
Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he was greatly surprised.
She really didn't expect that Ye Chen had already had a plan.
It is obvious that people were sent to speak to the Beijing army from the very beginning.
Until now, horses were used to pull tree branches to create confusion.
This is linked to each other.
Just to shake the officers of the Beijing camp?
Not only Shen Qiu, but Su Fu who was listening beside him was also impressed.
Faced with such a threatening situation, arrangements had to be made before confronting the Beijing army.
This adaptability.
Su Fu asked himself if he had it.
Ye Chen didn't care about the two people's strange looks, his attention was still on the outside of the city.
Even if he did make some arrangements, he had no idea how long he could delay the fire, so he found a carpenter and prepared to add fuel to the fire.
At this time, in the military camp outside the city.
Cao Tao was discussing matters with several officers.
"There aren't that many soldiers and horses outside the capital, and there can't be too many imperial guards inside the capital. You don't have to worry. There definitely aren't that many soldiers and horses inside Luo County."
"Everything is under my control!"
Cao Tao patted his chest and said.
However, the officers were not reassured by his words.
"General Cao, what if Luo County has more troops than us? We are the ones attacking the city, and we are already at a disadvantage. If Luo County has more troops than us, what's the point of fighting?"
"That's right, General Cao, you can't let our men go to die!"
"General Cao, is the other party's imperial edict true? Tell me the truth. If it is true, then I will not fight this battle!"
"Cao Tao, explain it to me clearly!"
However, the officers did not buy Cao Tao's words.
In the end, Cao Tao could only swear and vow that he would find out the number of troops in Luo County as soon as possible before he appeased the officers.
"His grandma's!"
After the officers left, Cao Tao angrily punched his horse so hard that it fell to its knees.
He clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes were red.
But a feeling of helplessness arose in my heart.
Although he is the commander-in-chief of the army.
But he did not have the final say over the entire Beijing army.
This made him feel very aggrieved, but he could do nothing about it.
"Once I've verified that there aren't many soldiers and horses in Luo County, I'll capture it and cut the commander who took over into pieces!"
Cao Tao did not dare to vent his anger on the children of the aristocratic families, so he hated the commander of Luo County even more.
Once the city is broken, Cao Tao will definitely slaughter all the soldiers and generals who have occupied Luo County, leaving no one alive!
