Zhao Hao shook his head: "I don't have any special ideas at the moment, but judging from the terrain, as long as we are based on defense, it will be very difficult for the Southern Chu Army to attack."
"Tomorrow, 20,000 new troops and 5,000 improved bows will be here."
"By then, as long as there are enough arrows, the Southern Chu Army will have no chance of breaking through our camp!"
On the south bank, there is an earthen city.
The city is not very big, and the height of the city wall is about thirty meters.
There are steep mountains on both sides.
The city is in the middle of the mountain.
Today, the main forces of the Gan army are stationed inside the earthen city.
There were five thousand soldiers stationed on each side outside the city.
The mountain is steep and high above, so there is no need to worry about the Southern Chu army being able to take it.
Zhao Hao said, "Old General, I think we should take a look at the military equipment."
"Especially the number of arrows!"
Xiao Danglu nodded and said, "You are right, so we should take this opportunity to prepare more arrows."
Logically speaking, the Southern Chu army has been replenished to 100,000 troops.
After resting for almost half a month, it's time to take action.
However, they never attacked.
This made Zhao Hao and Xiao Danglu very surprised.
Now, they have entered the Great Dry Zone and do not want to take over Chushui as soon as possible.
Instead, they stopped attacking, which was very unreasonable.
That night, the two of them discussed this issue while having dinner.
Xiao Danglu cut off a piece of meat with a dagger, put it into his mouth and started chewing it.
Don't look at this old man, he is already in his seventies.
However, he can still eat meat and drink wine like young people.
In fact, he eats more than many young people.
Zhao Hao just can't beat him.
As the old man ate, he said incoherently: "Little Mouse, what do you think the Nanchu Army is doing?"
"There is no movement in the camp."
"Are you still planning some conspiracy against us?"
Zhao Hao also used a small knife to cut off a piece of lamb leg meat, put it in his mouth, and shook his head.
"have no idea."
"Ordinarily, they don't have any tricks to play, right?"
"If you use a big kite again, I will kill them directly!"
The big kite he invented was instead used by the enemy and played a huge role. Even the impregnable Jianning City was captured.
Zhao Hao has been feeling resentful about it.
There is no doubt that the idea of using the big kite must have been thought of by Xie Daoxun.
Otherwise, the Southern Chu Army would definitely not have thought of it.
That woman...
…
Just like that, another week passed, and the Southern Chu Army finally made a big move.
They broke camp and moved to a place only five miles away from Tucheng and set up camp again.
But he did not make any move to launch an attack.
Xiao Danglu, Zhao Hao, Yu Ping and other generals stood on the top of the city wall and could clearly see the situation in the Nanchu military camp.
Yu Ping frowned and said, "What on earth are the Southern Chu Army thinking? Don't they want to attack?"
Xiao Danglu snorted: "Never mind him, we just need to hold on!"
"No matter what tricks they play, as long as we stay vigilant, it won't be a big deal!"
Zhao Hao didn't say anything.
He also felt very strange. This was not the style of the southern barbarians at all.
The army of Southern Chu, generally speaking, is almost brainless.
On the battlefield, they only knew how to attack and charge, and were too lazy to even make outflanking moves.
This time, he was so calm.
This is unscientific!
Returning to the central army tent, Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask, "Old General, is it possible for the Southern Chu Army to choose another location to cross the Chu River?"
Xiao Danglu laughed and shook his head, saying, "There is absolutely no such possibility."
"There are hundreds of miles from east to west, and there is no place suitable for crossing except this place."
"You can rest assured about that!"
Although he said so, Zhao Hao still didn't quite believe it.
In an area of hundreds of miles, is there really no place suitable for the army to cross the river?
Why doesn't he believe it?
Just like that, three days later, there was finally movement in the Nan Chu camp.
The army gathered and at dawn, rushed towards Tucheng.
Xiao Danglu led a group of generals including Yu Ping and climbed up the city wall of Tucheng.
Zhao Hao was left behind.
There was no way. Xiao Danglu knew very well that Zhao Hao could not take the same risk as him.
They can die, but Zhao Hao is too important and must not die.
This point was made very clear by Her Majesty the Empress in the secret letter she wrote to him!
No matter what the time, no matter what the cost, we must ensure that Zhao Hao survives.
The gongs and drums sounded.
The Southern Chu Army finally launched an attack on Tucheng.
The attack was quite fierce.
but.
Dagan’s defense is also impenetrable.
Didn't give the Nanchu army any chance.
The 100,000-strong army was divided into five teams.
Launch a round-by-round attack on the small earthen city.
However, after a day and a night, not even a single soldier appeared to attack the city wall.
The Dagan defenders, with the help of thunder bombs and improved strong bows, fought off the Nanchu army's attacks again and again with almost no effort.
However, after a day and a night, the Southern Chu army retreated like a tide, and everyone thought that this round of attack was over.
