The soldiers guarding the gate didn't open the door rashly. They first asked a few questions and saw that the scouts had answered correctly, so they opened a crack in the gate.
The scouts pushed sideways through the crack in the door.
As for his horse, he was so tired that he fell to the ground, and his nose and mouth spit out white foam.
The war horse is a very valuable resource. The garrison soldiers don't want to waste it. Two people squeeze out from the crack of the door and drag the war horse back to the city.
The gate was closed again.
The scouts worked hard and ran to Chang Yi's residence.
Chang Yi has to stand on the wall for a while every day recently to see if there is a signal from Heifeng valley. As long as there is a signal, he can lead 200000 troops to set out immediately!
But he waited left and right, but he couldn't wait for Xu Ji's signal.
With the passage of time, Chang Yi gradually felt uneasy. He was worried about whether there would be an accident over Xu Ji. He wanted to send someone to Heifeng Valley to explore, but he hesitated and finally gave up.
He is still too careful. He is afraid that the people sent out will meet the Xisha army on the way. If things are not done at that time, he will scare the snake.
Today, Chang Yi was ready to go out to inspect the city wall as usual. Before he went out, he saw a bloody scout rush in front of him.
He fixed his eyes and exclaimed, "I remember you. You are a scout under Xu Jiedu's command. Why did you suddenly come back? Is there something wrong with Xu Jiedu? "
The Scout gasped and said, "report to Lord Chang that the 300000 army led by Xu Jiedu was ambushed in crow ridge and the whole army was destroyed!"
"What?!"
Chang Yi's face changed greatly and his eyes opened wide.
Hearing that there was military information from the front line, Fu Qi and Nie Zhenqi hurriedly felt Chang Yi's residence. As soon as they entered the door, they heard the words "the whole army was destroyed".
Both of them stepped up, then rushed into the room again and asked for details eagerly.
The scout was really tired and his voice was hoarse, but he tried to tell the story again.
The fact is similar to Jiang Shuan's guess. Xu Ji led 300000 troops to Heifeng Valley and planned to set up an ambush there, but he didn't expect to be raided by 400000 troops led by King Huoluo when he passed through crow ridge.
Due to the sudden incident, Xu Ji was unprepared and was caught off guard. He was in a mess and missed the first opportunity.
From the beginning of the war, Xu Ji fell into the disadvantage and was defeated by the 400000 army of King Huoluo.
Seeing that the soldiers of Southern Chu fell down in large areas, and the iron hooves of the enemy were getting closer and closer to him, Xu Ji began to panic. Especially after the king of Huoluo shot an arrow and directly shot off the flagpole behind him, Xu Ji was scared to the core.
Finally, he actually left those Southern Chu soldiers who were still fighting with the enemy and fled under the escort of his own soldiers!
After hearing this, Chang Yi trembled like chaff. He didn't know whether he was frightened or angry.
Fu Qi was young and energetic. He couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily, "as the Lord general, he ignored the lives of 300000 soldiers and just ran for his own life. 10000 deaths of such people are not enough to make atonement!"
Nie Zhenqi asked, "three hundred thousand is gone?"
The Scout replied with red eyes, "well, it's all gone."
Chang Yi couldn't bear it anymore. He fainted directly in the dark.
Fu Qi and Nie Zhenqi hurried forward to help people up, and then called Zhan Chunsheng.
Zhan Chunsheng gave Chang Yi two needles and soon Chang Yi woke up.
He was still a little confused when he woke up, but soon he remembered what had happened before he was unconscious.
Three hundred thousand soldiers were wiped out.
At the thought of this, Chang Yi only felt that his eyes were dark and wanted to faint.
Fu Qi hurriedly called out, "Chang Jiedu envoy, at this critical juncture, you can't faint anymore. You have to make an idea quickly!"
Chang Yi's face was as pale as paper, and his words trembled: "300000 people are gone. How do you want me to make up my mind? I said at the beginning, don't sneak attack. We have a large number of people and have a geographical advantage. As long as we stick to Liangshan pass, even Xisha people can't fight any more. But Xu Jifei is going to make a sneak attack, saying that it can make a great contribution. Now, there is no great contribution, but 300000 people have been compensated. How can I explain to the emperor? "
At last, he covered his face and cried.
Fu Qi frowned and said, "now is not the time to turn over the old accounts. The top priority now is to find a way to deal with the enemy in Xisha. They killed 300000 of us. In the words of strategists, now is the time when their morale is the highest. They will certainly rush to attack Liangshan pass. We have to prepare the strategies to deal with the enemy in advance!"
Nie Zhenqi nodded and agreed with Fu Qi's words.
Chang Yi cried and said, "what can I do? Now I just think that 300000 people are gone, and my brain hurts badly. I can't think of any way. "
Seeing that Chang Yi can't count on it, Fu Qi can only turn his head and look at Nie Zhenqi.
"Nie Taishou, what do you think we should do about it?"
Nie Zhenqi said, "we have to strengthen our defense and prepare more bows, arrows and catapults. It's best to shoot another team of scouts out of the city for inspection. If we find anything abnormal, let them come back and report immediately."
Fu Qi nodded and said yes.
At present, there is not much they can do, so they have to do their best.
The two men arranged for each other.
Fu Qi went up to the city wall, doubled the number of soldiers guarding the city wall, and repeatedly stressed the need to be vigilant. Once something was wrong, he immediately reported it to the general.
The catapult was also pushed onto the wall by a platform. In addition, a lot of stones were moved and stacked on the wall.
Fu Qi stood and looked at it for a while. He suddenly remembered the secret letter Jiang Shuan gave him before he left.
At present, the southern Chu has not been completely defeated, but it has reached the critical point of life and death.
Fu Qi hesitated for a moment and finally took out the letter hidden in his sleeve.
Tear open the envelope and pull out a thin piece of stationery.
There was not a word on the letter, but only a picture. It was the defense map of Liangshan pass. Jiang Shuan drew red circles in several places.
Fu Qi didn't understand the meaning of these red circles. He found the places circled according to the defense map. One of them was next to the moat. It was a big pit covered with thin soil. It would sink with a little force.
Obviously, this is a trap.
Fortunately, Fu Qi was prepared in advance and moved very carefully, otherwise he would be cheated and fall directly into the trap.
Fu Qi didn't know what was in the trap. In order not to destroy the trap, Fu Qi didn't move it again.
He remembered Jiang Shuan's special training with his soldiers and men before he left. Everyone didn't understand the significance of their doing so. Until now, Fu Qi suddenly realized that Jiang Shuan was actually preparing a trap at that time!
