1868 Raiders: The key lies in the people inside

King Zhou, also known as the new emperor, was extremely concerned about Dongling's actions. When the chariots were transported out of Yecheng, the new emperor got the news at the first time.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Dong Ling’s poor ability to keep secrets, nor can it be blamed on Doudou’s uselessness. The chariot was simply too large to be hidden, so it was normal for the new emperor to be able to find it.

"Could it be that the Ninth Uncle wants to use this chariot to attack Chu City?" The new emperor frowned, finding that he could not guess what the Ninth Uncle was thinking.

Although this chariot is very murderous, it is better to use it against Beiling than against Chucheng.

"It shouldn't be. The mountain roads in Chu City are rugged. Although the chariot has extraordinary combat effectiveness, it is not suitable. How could the Ninth Prince not know the terrain of Chu City if he wants to attack Chu City?" Chu Changhua is very familiar with the geographical location of Chu City, and he has a very good grasp of his own advantages and disadvantages.

"Could it be that the Ninth Prince wants to use a chariot to pass through the dangerous Tiannu Peak?" Chu Changhua immediately thought of the idea, but on second thought, she rejected the idea again: "Impossible, no matter how powerful the chariot is, it can't fly over the eaves and walls. The chariot can't even touch people, so even if it is a murder weapon, it is useless."

"No matter what, we must be cautious. The Ninth Prince will never make useless preparations. We should prepare some huge rocks on the mountain, and when the chariot passes by, we will use the rocks to smash the chariot." The new emperor adhered to the principle of caution. No matter what the chariot was used for, he would destroy it first.

As long as we can't reach Chu City, no matter how powerful the chariot is, it will be useless.

Of course, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had considered this issue, and they were now working on a countermeasure: "When the chariot passes Tiannv Peak, we must guard against their attacks with rocks. Although the chariot is invulnerable to swords and guns, it does not mean that it cannot be crushed by huge rocks."

"The twin peaks of Tiannv Peak are extremely high and steep. Even if Chu City uses local materials, it is impossible to demolish Tiannv Peak in a short period of time. The boulders they can transport to the mountain are limited. As long as we consume their stones, the chariots can get through safely." The Ninth Uncle pointed to the terrain of Tiannv Peak and said, "There is no stone quarry around Tiannv Peak. If the Chu army wants to use boulders to attack, they must transport them to the mountain from other places."

This is not a simple task. Even if the Chu army has a large number of people, it is impossible to use them all to move stones.

"It's not difficult to consume their stones. We just need to play with them a few more times." Feng Qingchen thought of the shepherd boy.

This story tells us that if you tell too many lies, no one will believe you even if you tell the truth.

"If the Chu army wants to play, we'll play along. The best time to pass Tiannv Peak is at night. They are lying in ambush at a high point and can't see the situation below clearly. We can make a few fake chariots."

"Of course, as long as there is an iron shell, it will be fine. If you can't make an iron shell, a wooden one will do. Just paint the outside and it will look like the real thing."

"As for the inside... we can collect live pigs and sheep, or live leopards, tigers, rabbits, etc. along the way. With the Snow Wolf, we should have no worries. When we reach Tiannv Peak, we will camp outside first, and let these living creatures carry the fake iron chariots to break through the natural dangers of Tiannv Peak at night. When the Chu chariots hear the noise, they will definitely launch an attack. Once... twice, a few more times, when the Chu army loses their vigilance and the prepared boulders are almost used up, we can let the Black Cavalry move forward."

Although Feng Qingchen's method was simple, it was indeed useful. Every night when the chariots passed by, even if the Chu army found out that they were fake, they would not dare not take action the next day when there was movement below, for fear that the real chariots would sneak in. However, if they took action, they would worry about consuming resources too quickly.

It was okay once or twice, but after dozens of times, even if the Chu army did not collapse, they would get annoyed and gradually lose their fighting spirit.

They suffered heavy losses fighting a group of beasts every night, but the Dongling army was not hurt at all. It was depressing to think about it. When the real chariots of Dongling passed by, they probably thought they were fake and just hit them twice for show.

Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince currently think this method is the most feasible one. Until there is a better way, they naturally have to prepare for this plan.

Doudou wasted a lot of time on the journey back and forth. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had to catch animals and order local officials to build fake chariots along the way, which also took time. Therefore, even if the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were faster, they only arrived at Tiannv Peak two days earlier than Doudou.

During these two days, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were not idle either. Feng Qingchen was busy using the sand table to deduce various possibilities, while the Ninth Prince secretly approached Tiannv Peak to investigate the movements of the Chu army and its combat effectiveness.

The new emperor and Chu Changhua were extremely wary of the Ninth Uncle. They only had 150,000 troops at their disposal, but there were 30,000 of them ambushed on Tiannv Peak alone. They wanted to take advantage of the steepness of Tiannv Peak to kill as many Dongling soldiers as possible, and at the same time weaken the Ninth Uncle's sharpness and prestige.

Just as Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince had expected, the new emperor ordered people to pile huge rocks on both sides of Tiannv Peak. Whenever a chariot passed by, it would be crushed by the rocks.

"Fortunately, we were well prepared, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses." Feng Qingchen was not proud of this. After all, anyone with a brain could figure out this kind of thing.

"The Chu army has prepared more boulders than bows and arrows. We must consume as many of their weapons as possible." The Chu army ambushed the troops at Tiannv Peak, and the front line with the rear was extremely long, making it almost impossible to get supplies.

"Wait for Doudou to bring his men here. We must sleep during the day and move at night. If we want to make things difficult for them, as soon as the front is cleared, we will send fake chariots forward and move from time to time during the day. This will prevent them from getting a rest." With 100,000 people, they can work in three shifts to make trouble for the Chu army.

"Child's play." The Ninth Prince couldn't help but laugh.

Feng Qingchen's victory was unexpected. At first glance, he didn't look like a general leading an army, so he couldn't come up with such a battle plan.

"What's wrong with childish tricks? As long as they work, it's fine. Do you have a better idea?" Feng Qingchen couldn't think of any other way to harass the Chu army since they couldn't attack.

"It's not that there aren't better ways, but there's no way to hurt you more than this. Your method is very good." The Ninth Prince said this very seriously. Feng Qingchen was indeed very upset: "Are you praising me or not?"

“……”Does the King have any second choice?

No!

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had already drawn up a preliminary battle plan for Chu City. They had originally wanted to wait for Doudou to arrive and discuss it with him, but before Doudou arrived, a very important piece of news came from Jiangnan, asking the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen to consider whether they should hand over the Chu City matter directly to Doudou and take care of it themselves...

You know, Chu Cheng can be handed over to his subordinates to fight, it is better for him to do it himself...
