"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Bai Luoyu was discussing with Wang Xi and others how to attack the city. When he heard someone running over to report, he was delighted and hurried over to greet him.

"I heard from Uncle Bai this morning that you guys were here. I waited until the evening and you didn't go back. I was a little worried. I hope it didn't delay your business." Gu Nianchen smiled innocently.

"What are you talking about, Brother Chen, let's go."

After Bai Luoyu finished speaking, Gu Nianchen got on the horse and followed Bai Luoyu inside.

The soldiers behind him continued to hide and remain on guard.

Walking all the way to the temporary camp, there were guards everywhere. If Gu Nianchen had not had a stronger sense than ordinary people, he would not have been able to find it at all.

"The terrain of Hushan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We launched two charges but failed. We were just discussing how to attack it with the least amount of troops." Bai Luoyu said to Gu Nianchen as they walked.

For some reason, the moment he heard that Gu Nianchen was coming, he felt his heart suddenly at ease, as if this leader of the mountain village could definitely help him solve the problem.

"Indeed, the north has always been a war-torn zone due to historical issues, so all the cities are built in the style of ancient fortifications. Machine guns and cannons cannot hit the city walls from a distance, and it is very dangerous if you get close." Gu Nianchen continued with Bai Luoyu's words. This was what he had thought of after listening to 218's report to him.

Bai Luoyu was filled with admiration after hearing this: "Brother Chen, you are really becoming more and more difficult for me to understand. You haven't studied the art of war, but you relied solely on your own reading and research, and you hit the nail on the head. I admire you."

"It's easy to say, Luo Yu, don't praise me." Gu Nianchen smiled a little embarrassedly. His wife's tired eyes looked at him with stars in them. She really felt that Li Dapao was too ignorant. Shouldn't he surrender voluntarily and make way for him and his wife? Did he have to be beaten to feel comfortable?

"Brother Chen, you are too modest. Now that we are here, let's go in. My deputy general and instructor are inside. Brother Chen, please help us with some advice." Bai Luoyu dismounted and waited for Gu Nianchen to go in together.

Two of the people inside had previously followed Bai Luoyu back to Lishu Town. They both knew Gu Nianchen, and when they saw him come in, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Wang Xi didn't know the other two, but he had heard from them that Gu Nianchen had led the brothers of Baoxing Village to defeat the larger force with a smaller one.

Everyone admired Gu Nianchen very much. War was actually a very cruel thing. The number of troops and the advancedness of weapons directly affected the outcome of the war. That was why it was so exciting to defeat the majority with the minority and the strong with the weak.

"Boss Chen, I've heard a lot about you." Wang Xi extended his hand to Gu Nianchen and said sincerely.

"I've heard a lot about you." Gu Nianchen shook hands with him, then nodded to the people around him.

"Stop being polite and sit down. We have been attacking for a long time but have been unable to take this city. Now that Boss Chen is here, let's discuss if there is any plan that won't involve too many sacrifices." Bai Luoyu extended his hand to ask everyone to sit down. Now was not the time to reminisce and chat. The army could not stay here forever.

If there is no more suitable plan, Bai Luoyu will choose to withdraw his troops temporarily and return to Lishu Town to rest and come back later.

The army has traveled a long distance and is now exhausted and is not in the best fighting condition.

The reason why Bai Luoyu chose to come at this time was to give Li Dapao a warning and let him know the consequences of provoking him.

But if it requires a lot of sacrifice, then the cost will outweigh the benefits.

Gu Nianchen sat down and began to look at the map of Hushan City. It turned out that the structure was similar to that of Lishu Town, except that Lishu Town did not have such high city walls as Hushan City.

Bai Luoyu's troops had to seize every opportunity to evacuate urgently, fearing that Marshal Lin's troops would catch up and attack them, so they abandoned many weapons and did not even bring back anti-aircraft artillery.

The few cannons we have now were also obtained on the way back, where we encountered some troops that invaded towns and villages and took advantage of the situation.

For a siege, the firepower is totally insufficient. If one wants to minimize casualties, Gu Nianchen can only take action to create chaos inside Hushan City, so that Bai Luoyu and others can take the opportunity to attack the city.

"According to the construction methods of these defensive walls, they are largely interconnected. The most suitable method is fire attack. As long as we force them out of the defensive walls, we can attack directly, blow open the city gates or force them to come out to fight." Gu Nianchen has already thought about what to do. Only he can accomplish this.

After Gu Nianchen finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. After a moment, Bai Luoyu spoke up, "It's indeed good, but our fire bombs can't reach this distance. I tried to send people to sneak over before, but the front was full of traps and ambushes. I've already lost more than a dozen brothers."

Bai Luoyu felt sad when he said this. Those who were sent to carry out such a difficult task were all extremely skilled, and it was really painful to lose them.

"I'll do it." Gu Nianchen said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the tent looked at Gu Nianchen. They never expected him to say these two words.

To put it bluntly, those who carry out such missions are almost always risking their lives, exchanging personal sacrifice for the team's victory. They are not cowards, but no general would do such a thing.

"No." Bai Luoyu was the first to object. The moment Gu Nianchen said that, he expressed his objection without any hesitation. He wanted Gu Nianchen to join his team, but he didn't want to see Gu Nianchen encounter any danger.

This feeling was very strange. Even though he had been brothers with Wang Xi for so many years, he had never had this feeling. He could let Wang Xi lead the team to fight, but he only wanted Gu Nianchen to stay by his side and help him with advice. He didn't want him to do anything that might be dangerous.

"Marshal Yu looks down on me?" Gu Nianchen knew Bai Luoyu's worries. He believed that even though Bai Luoyu might not have reached the level of love now, the desire to protect each other deep in his soul could not be changed.

Therefore, he can only maintain his image as the boss of the copycat and show his reckless attitude in order to achieve his goal.

"Of course not. I admire Brother Chen's skills, but this is our team's business. How can we let Brother Chen take risks? No." Bai Luoyu waved his hands hurriedly.

"Didn't we become brothers when we were drinking yesterday? Now you're assigning me to a team, right? Then I'll apply to join. With my skills, it won't be a problem for me to be your guard, right?" Gu Nianchen sat on a chair with his legs crossed, looking like a king of the mountain.

No one around dared to interrupt. When Gu Nianchen became serious, his aura was really intimidating.

"Really?" Bai Luoyu asked with narrowed eyes.

"Of course I take it seriously. Just tell me whether you want to give in or not." Gu Nianchen replied with a frown.

"Deal. From now on, Brother Chen, you are my captain of the guard." Bai Luoyu said with a triumphant smile.

Although it was only a moment, Gu Nianchen caught it.

[It's over. My wife knows military tactics in this life. I feel like I've been tricked.]
