"Dang Dang Dang..."

In the rapid sound of gold ringing, 20,000 red-coated soldiers withdrew like a tide.

The noisy cheers, fights, and curses on top of the towering city were like big blows hitting every red-coated soldier in the face.

The beating made them furious.

But nothing can be done.

The city wall of Luoyi is really too high!

A total of nine feet and five!

This height was enough to render all their past siege methods useless.

And many of the siege equipment they improvised could not even reach the parapet on top of the city.

"General Li, this battle can't be fought like this anymore!"

Chen Dao noticed the declining morale of his generals, and anxiously went to Li Xin, who was commanding the army to fight, and said.

Li Xin sat astride a tall horse, twisting a dark spear, and stared blankly at the boiling city head with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"Then how do you want to fight?"

When Li Xin squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, the madness in his eyes made even Chen Dao feel scared!

Chen Dao shook his head: "I don't know how to fight, but I definitely can't fight like this again. Our army is the king's personal army. The casualties are too heavy, and neither you nor I can explain it!"

"Since you can't think of any other way, just follow a certain way to fight!"

Li Xin rudely rejected Chen Dao's proposal: "If the king pursues the case, all consequences will be borne by a certain family!"

With that said, he raised the spear in his hand and issued the military order to attack the city again!

"This is not a damn thing that the king will pursue or not!"

Chen Dao was furious. He grabbed the spear in Li Xin's hand with one hand and pointed at the taciturn army below: "You are also a veteran on the battlefield. Don't you understand the principle of making great efforts and then failing again? Look at it.

How many rounds can they last? Is the undefeated reputation of my Red Army just for you to throw away in Luoyi?"

Li Xin gritted his steel teeth tightly and struggled for a long time with blue veins all over his head. Then he twisted his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood-streaked saliva, and roared in a low voice: "Luoyi is right in front of you. If you can't attack it, you will teach the world."

Everyone listens to the cry of our red-coated army, 'Princes, generals, and ministers should have the right to live in peace', even if a certain family dies, they will not be able to rest in peace!"

Chen Dao looked at him in astonishment.

This was the first time he knew that Li Xin did not surrender to the Han Dynasty because he was greedy for life and afraid of death...

"Don't be impatient, please calm down and think of other solutions!"

Chen Dao let go of Li Xin's spear, turned his head and cast his gaze at the majestic giant beast creeping quietly on the plain, murmuring to himself: "The king once said that there are always more ways than difficulties. You and I are silent.

If you work hard, you can always think of a way to defeat Luoyi!"

"I don't want to calm down and think of a trick, but Can Zhou won't give you or me the time to think of a trick!"

Li Xin let go of his spear and said helplessly: "According to the reports from the army's scouts and spies from the Special War Bureau, there are at least 150,000 remnant reinforcements on the way. You and I are alone and have no food, fodder or supplies. So,

We have less than three days of food and grass to carry. If we don’t break the city, you and I, two divisions of fifty thousand brothers, will all be buried here!”

Perhaps in the eyes of others, he, Li Xin, was just unlucky and accidentally landed at the foot of Luoyi City.

But in fact, only he himself knows how much effort he put into this plan.

From the marching route, marching time, the quantity and type of food and baggage carried, to the time of enemy support...

He made careful deductions and plans in every aspect!

And the facts prove that his hard work was not in vain!

Their 50,000 soldiers and horses indeed made their way smoothly into the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province from the junction of Yingchuan and Sizhou, and their whereabouts were finally exposed until the Luocang Pass.

But even if his whereabouts were exposed, it was within his estimation!

The only thing he missed was the city defense of Luoyi!

No one has ever told that the city of Luoyi is as high as ninety-five feet high!

Is this a damn city that can be built by humans?

"Reinforcements..."

Chen Dao muttered these two words in a low voice and racked his brains to find a way out.

As the deputy general of this 50,000-strong army, he certainly knew that reinforcements from the Zhou Dynasty were coming here.

It's just that before, like Li Xin, he was thinking about how to break through Luoyi, rush into the Spring and Autumn Palace, pull out that Wei Wang Ji Lie, and chop off his head with one knife.

But now a strong attack is no longer advisable, and if they no longer think of a way to break the situation, they are afraid that their troops will really die here!

He is not afraid of death.

But he wants to bring these 50,000 soldiers back to Chen County!

'If Da Lang were here, how would he break the situation?'

After racking his brains and still finding nothing, Chen Dao tried to find some guidance from Chen Sheng's past military tactics.

He had personally participated in Chen Sheng's formulation of many strategies against the enemy, and had some understanding of some of Chen Sheng's tactics.

"Is there any marching route for Canzhou reinforcements?"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Dao suddenly asked.

Li Xin was stunned, turned around and shouted: "Come here, get the map of Luoyi!"

Soon, the head of Li Xin's guard regiment took the map of Luoyi he carried with him, held it in his hand as a case, and opened it for the two division commanders to examine... As an officer from Jixia Academy, wherever the army goes,

No matter how far you draw, it’s just basic skills!

"The 30,000 soldiers here are the defenders of Dagu Pass. They can arrive as soon as tomorrow!"

"There are 40,000 troops here, and they are the garrison of Hulao Pass. They can arrive in two days at the earliest!"

"The 50,000 troops here are the defenders of Hangu Pass. They can arrive in three days at the earliest..."

Li Xin relied on his extraordinary memory to point out to Chen Dao one by one the marching routes of the Zhou Dynasty's reinforcements reported by previous military scouts and spies from the special operations bureau.

Chen Dao looked at it carefully several times... It was really a situation where he was ambushed on all sides!

"Look, can we do this?"

Chen Dao thought about it and drew a circle on the map with his hand, connecting the marching route of the Dugu Pass defenders, the Hulao Pass defenders' march route, and finally the Hangu Pass defenders' march route.

Li Xin immediately understood what he meant, and said after thinking: "There are risks, no mistakes can be made in the middle, and every battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise we will be like cattle in a sea of ​​mud, and it will be difficult to escape, and we will

Withdraw, Luoyi will undergo changes, and it will be even more difficult to attack Luoyi again..."

He saw all the flaws in this battle plan at a glance.

"I do not think so!"

Chen Dao shook his head and said: "The king once said that if your own strength is not enough to gain an advantage when the situation is clear, then muddy the water. Only in muddy water can you fish!"

This sentence was originally said by Chen Sheng when he was plotting against Li Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Canal in Yanzhou.

"and……"

Chen Dao slightly raised his chin towards Brother Wuwanpaoze who was resting below, "This is our only way to survive, isn't it?"
