Chapter 178 Soldiers, follow me to attack the city!
After several days of continuous exploration, we basically understood the situation in the city.
After the few of them had compared the final information, the city defense map that Xiao Ning had drawn on the ground was finally complete.
Xiao Ning took a stroll around the dilapidated Zhang Mansion and actually found the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone that had been covered in dust for a long time.
The rebels rushed in to steal gold, silver and food, but no one was interested in these things.
Even the books in the mansion were kept intact.
Adding water and grinding ink, Xiao Ning drew a simple city defense map on paper.
Mark the number of people at the garrison locations in order.
After finishing, Xiao Ning lifted up the paper and blew dry the ink on it. He then took out another piece of rice paper and briefly wrote down the tactical deployment, asking Li Yuan to make preparations in the next few days, using fireworks as a signal and be ready to attack the city at any time.
Xiao Ning folded the two envelopes and put them away.
"Chu Wu, you will deliver the things out of the city, and then stay in the camp to help Li Yuan prepare for the siege."
Chu Wu nodded when he heard this.
He put the things in his arms and left Zhang's house.
"Here, General, these are the sesame cakes I just bought, they're still hot!"
Zhang Zhai climbed over the wall and came in. Seeing Xiao Ning and the others standing in the yard, he took out a bag of sesame cakes from his arms and handed one to Xiao Ning first.
Xiao Ning took it and distributed it to others.
Several people squatted in the yard and ate sesame cakes.
If you choke, take out your water bag and take two gulps of cold water.
The Zhang Mansion had been abandoned for a long time. To avoid complications, they could not make a fire and could only make do with this as a cushion.
…
After Chu Wuhun escaped from the city, he quickly rushed towards the camp.
Xiao Ning taught students according to their aptitude. The dozen or so people he selected were all those with the best legs and feet under his command. Daily training also focused on training these abilities. Naturally, they were not left out of the training of killing the enemy.
Seeing Chu Wu coming back alone, Li Yuanchen Zhiyi and others came out to greet him.
"Why are you back alone? Where's the general?"
Chu Wu said, "Go in and tell me in detail."
A group of people entered the tent.
Chu Wu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Li Yuan, "This is what the general asked me to bring back to you."
Li Yuan took the letter and unfolded it carefully.
One was a simple sketch of the city's defense map, and the other was a letter to him.
Shen Zhiyi stood aside and watched, then asked Chu Wu, "Did he draw this city defense map?"
Chu Wu nodded, his eyes shining: "The general is really amazing!"
Shen Zhiyi looked at the sketch and found it hard not to agree.
He had only been there for a few days, but he had already understood the situation so clearly and even drew a city defense map.
Such military talent...
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Ning's instructions and frowned, "General, stay in Yunzhou City and cooperate with us from inside and outside?"
Chu Wu continued to nod, "Yes, the general said that he would use fireworks as a signal, so we should rest during the day and prepare at night, waiting for his order for the fireworks!"
Li Yuan said worriedly, "General, this is too dangerous."
Chu Wu laughed and said, "The general is such a powerful man. Lieutenant General Li, instead of worrying about the general, you might as well worry about yourself."
Li Yuan: "No matter how powerful he is, he is still a human being."
Shen Zhiyi said: "Now that things have come to this, there is no need to say so much, just follow his instructions."
So Li Yuan asked people to recruit several generals and vanguard officers, and began to practice the tactics proposed by Xiao Ning in the sand table and make detailed deployments.
Make sure everything is safe by then.
After all, the enemy's forces were several times larger than theirs.
Shen Zhiyi looked at Xiao Ning's tactical deployment in the sandbox as if it were alive, and couldn't help but sigh again at the talent of the old Xiao family.
Faced with such a situation, she was able to quickly come up with a suitable strategy.
Just like Chu Wu said, she is really powerful.
He is so powerful that he doesn't look like a young man who has not even reached the age of twenty.
Not to mention that this young man grew up in the splendor of Shengjing City and had never been to the battlefield.
She saw the rotting corpse and was not afraid.
She faced an army of more than 30,000 with only 7,000 men and was not afraid.
Shen Zhiyi recalled the past and suddenly realized that the current Xiao Yanqing was no longer similar to the Xiao Yanqing he knew...
Besides being a masculine person...
"General Shen, what do you think?"
Li Yuan's voice brought Shen Zhiyi back to his senses. He turned around and looked at him: "What?"
Li Yuan: “…”
He also discovered it.
This Shen Jianjun really likes to daydream.
I don’t know what I’m thinking about all day.
"When the army attacks the city someday, we may not be able to take care of you. General Shen, take your men and stay here first. If we win, you can come back after the fireworks are used as a signal, okay?"
Shen Zhiyi thought about it and nodded in agreement.
So for several days in a row, the army hid during the day and moved out at night, waiting for Xiao Ning's fireworks order.
Finally, on a cold and gloomy night, fireworks lit up the sky.
Li Yuan looked up at the sky, his eyes reflecting the beautiful fireworks blooming in the night sky, and his whole body showed a different kind of excitement.
"Soldiers, follow me to attack the city!"
“Go!”
Thousands of troops galloped towards Yunzhou City.
…
After agreeing on the tactics, the dozen or so people who stayed in Yunzhou City each scouted the area to ensure that there would be no problems in the upcoming battle.
After a few days of observation, Xiao Ning felt that the time had come.
On a dark and windy night.
Xiao Ning quietly climbed into the backyard of the government office. After several days of surveillance and investigation, she knew the route of the yard very well and easily came to the room of the rebel leader.
There was something about this leader. When she approached, he suddenly woke up and avoided the knife that was stabbing at his neck.
"Come……"
He had just opened his mouth, and before he could even shout, the sharp tip of the knife pierced his heart.
The rebel leader had a look of disbelief before he died.
He looked at his right hand, which was being held by himself, and then at his left hand, which was holding the dagger and stabbing into his chest.
Xiao Ning pulled back the dagger and wiped the blood on his clothes.
"Sorry, I'm very good with both hands."
Due to her living habits in her previous life, she was always covered with weapons, with a Tang sword on her back, a sniper on her shoulder, two guns on her waist, and a dagger in each of her military boots.
Her hands can fire two guns, and naturally she can also hold two swords.
This man's death was not unjust.
Xiao Ning pushed the man down on the bed, took back his knife, put the dagger back into the sheath and put it on his waist, then turned and left the room.
Next, it’s the second in command’s turn.
Xiao Ning killed his way down and strangled all the rebel leaders in bed. Then he took out the fireworks order, shot it into the sky, and watched the fireworks explode in the night sky.
She turned around and quickly rushed towards the city gate.
When the dozen or so people who had been on guard at the city gate saw the fireworks order, they immediately approached quietly and killed the sentries on the city wall.
The movement was very small, but still someone with sharp ears noticed it.
"Anyone?"
The rebels on the city wall raised torches and looked around.
"Who's there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arm clamped his neck from behind, and the rebel's neck was broken.
But the movement just now has attracted the attention of other rebels.
There were footsteps coming this way.
Zhang Zhai swallowed his saliva, looked around vigilantly, and retreated along the corner of the wall.
There is no way to retreat, we can only fight.
Zhang Zhai drew his sword.
But he couldn't help but worry whether this would disrupt the general's deployment...
