Chapter 66 War is anxious

This risky plan is full of dangers, but these low-level officers are all very excited.

If this can be done, even if they all die, they are all worth it.

Once the general granary of Da Rong is burned, it is very likely that Kuk Shu's army will be forced to return for reinforcements, and the situation of Zhenjun City being besieged will definitely be resolved.

What is this called? According to what Su Qi'an said, stealing a house.

After stealing Kuk Shu's home, this battle is absolutely reversed. Even if he dies, it doesn't matter.

After so many years of fighting with Da Rong's army, most of them resulted in more losses than wins.

This battle will be as frustrating as it is frustrating. Now that Mr. Su has such an amazing plan, they can't help but feel excited.

If Su Qi'an hadn't given the order, they would have rushed over now.

"Mr. Su, just give the order and it will be done."

Seeing everyone's excited looks, Su Qi'an first calmed their emotions, waved, and everyone gathered around, and an adventurous plan was born.



At this time, on the other side of Zhenjun City, Kushu's 80,000 troops had already surrounded Zhenjun City.

There are as many as 20,000 troops besieged in each city area. With a total of less than 20,000 troops in Zhenjun City, it is impossible to break out of the siege.

They could only defend passively. The siege lasted for several days, during which a big battle broke out between Ku Shu and Fan Wenzhong.

The source of this battle was the dispute over the water source of Zhenjun City. Fan Wenzhong never expected that Ku Shu would discover his hidden reservoir.

This can only be said that there is a traitor among them, but now is not the time to catch the traitor. If the water source is taken away, it will be a fatal blow to Zhenjun City.

Therefore, Fan Wenzhong did not hesitate to send most of the troops in the city to fight with Cook.

Fan Wenzhong's hidden reservoir is not far from Zhenjun City. It is located behind Nancheng District and is guarded by several acropolis nearby.

It stands to reason that the location is absolutely safe, but unfortunately, the Cook Technique is out in force this time, and it is bound to capture the hidden reservoir.

The battle between the two sides lasted for more than ten days. In the end, Fan Wenzhong had no choice but to retreat due to too few troops.

In this battle for water sources, Fan Wenzhong's side lost more than 10,000 people, and Kushu's side also suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

It was barely a draw, but the water source was captured by Cook's technique. On the day of the capture, Cook's technique destroyed the reservoir without any hesitation.

The turbulent fresh water, like rushing sea water, spread in all directions. In an instant, a lake was formed within a few hundred meters nearby.

It's just that this lake only came for a short period of time. Within a quarter of an hour, it was diluted by the yellow sand on the ground and finally disappeared.

Fan Wenzhong stood on the tower, his eyes were red, his white beard was standing on end with anger, and his eyes were filled with pain and sorrow.

The destruction of the reservoir was a huge blow to Fan Wenzhong.

If the situation cannot be broken as soon as possible, how long can Zhenjun City survive?

Behind him, a big man who looked like a general stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Commander, if you give the last general 30,000 troops, you must pay the price."

Fan Wenzhong turned around and glanced at the general who volunteered, but waved his hand feebly.

This person was a reinforcement who arrived from a nearby military city a few days ago. The reinforcements in the past few days have gradually gathered together. Now, the number of troops in Zhenjun City has reached 50,000.

Now it seems that the strength of the two sides is almost the same, but when they go out to fight in the city, the best loss ratio between the two sides is one to one. This kind of frontal confrontation is absolutely impossible for Fan Wenzhong to order unless it is a last resort.

In Fan Wenzhong's mind, he still felt somewhat regretful that the reinforcements arrived too late. If they had arrived earlier, maybe the reservoir could have been saved.

But things have already happened, and nothing you say now will help.

At this time, Xie Cang stood up and said, "Mr. Fan, the reservoir has been destroyed. It is useless to talk more. Now we should quickly ask other military cities to provide emergency water sources."

"If we still can't break through the siege of Da Rong's army, we can only follow General Chen's wishes."

Fan Wenzhong remained silent, then sighed, nodded, and General Chen behind him resigned.

Looking at the large number of soldiers and horses still gathering in front of him, Fan Wenzhong's brows never relaxed, and he said solemnly.

"Xiao Xie, you said it's been more than ten days, why is there no news about Xiao Su? Even the reinforcements he sent to the military city have not come. What happened to them?"

Fan Wenzhong's worries are also Xie Cang's worries at this time. The reinforcements that have arrived in the past few days are all supported by Zheng Liang without exception.

Zheng Liang suffered too many losses due to repeated rescue operations, so he rested in an acropolis, which the two of them understood.

On the contrary, Su Qi'an's supporting army has been away from the city for more than ten days. Not only has there been no news, but the same is true for the army connected to Yingjun City.

It was as if the world had evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

The two of them naturally didn't believe that Su Qi'an was afraid and ran away from the battle. They knew Su Qi'an's character very well.

There was no news for so many days, and there was only one possibility: Su Qian had an accident.

This possibility is what Fan Wenzhong and Xie Cang least want to see.

But what happened before us all confirmed this.

Xie Cang took a deep breath, stepped forward, looked away, and said solemnly.

"Mr. Fan, I believe Mr. Su will be fine. Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. He must have his own plan. He will definitely come back. He will definitely do it."

Xie Cang's firmness made Fan Wenzhong sober up a lot, and his tired look quickly recovered.

He opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Xie, you are right. Su Wawa will definitely come back, and we will definitely win this battle. Pass the order and monitor the situation of Da Rong's army on the opposite side at all times. If there is an intention to attack, don't hesitate to counterattack immediately."

"Hmph, if I can't defeat even one young junior, the battles I've fought for more than forty years will be in vain!"

Xie Cang smiled and nodded heavily. This was the iron-blooded general who had frightened the Great Rong Kingdom for decades and was unable to take down Ningzhou's defense line.

The Zhenjun City is well prepared and ready to counterattack at any time, on the opposite side about four or five miles away.

Da Rong's army also made various arrangements for troops and generals.

Nowadays, there are many reinforcements coming to Zhenjun City, a total of 50,000 people. According to the previous siege, it is obviously a thankless effort.

The previous battle with Fan Wenzhong made Ku Shu realize how difficult this Liangren veteran was.

The almost one-to-one battle losses were too much for even Cook's technique. The current plan was to gather all the soldiers and horses to attack Zhenjun City.

In order to lure the enemy, Kushu dispersed 50,000 troops and horses, leaving only 30,000.

After adding the hidden 70,000 horses, the total is 150,000.

But in the rounds of consumption with Fan Wenzhong, the previous 30,000 troops were basically exhausted.

It would be difficult to capture Zhenjun City with only the 70,000 troops in his hands.

Shortly after the war ended, Kushu issued an order to recall all the 50,000 scattered horses.

In this way, a total of 120,000 troops faced the Zhenjun City that had lost its water source, and it was not appropriate to capture it.

As for other military cities, Cook Shu also took into consideration whether reinforcements would be sent to join forces to attack the city.

For the other nine military cities, no matter how the troops are deployed, more than half of the troops must be left to defend them.

The nine cities can mobilize up to 100,000 troops. Now, there are already 50,000 reinforcements in Zhenjun City.

The remaining 50,000 reinforcements will take seven days at the earliest if they want to arrive. Not only is the journey long, but more importantly, they are also trying to figure out people's hearts.

Waiting and watching the situation develop, if Zhenjun City can defeat him in one fell swoop, no need to think about it, the remaining reinforcements will be reinforced as quickly as possible.

But once the Zhenjun city is suppressed and attacked, and the city is about to be destroyed, these 50,000 reinforcements will sneak away quietly.

This is the selfishness of the human heart, and it applies even if it is placed on the Ningzhou battlefield.

After all, I have been dealing with these Liang people for so many years. In terms of familiarity with them, no one in Daiei knows the art of Kuk Shu better.

This is also the reason why Kushu dared to attack the city with 150,000 troops.

Ningzhou boasted 300,000, and in the hands of Fan Wenzhong, the so-called indestructible Ningzhou defense line was trained.

Today, Ku Shu will break this so-called mythical Ningzhou defense line in front of Fan Wenzhong.

In Kuk Shu's big tent, one order after another came out from the big tent in an orderly manner.

The cavalry outside the tent, following orders, raised a cloud of dust and left quickly.

Countless people and horses were constantly moving and changing, and a strong chilling atmosphere gathered and filled the air.

A cruel war seemed to break out at any time. At this time, outside the big tent, Liu Shengming walked in directly.

He first clasped his fists in salute to Ku Shu, and then said.

"Reporting to the Second Prince, according to the intelligence obtained by my subordinates, there is already news about the two Liang people joining the army."

"One team is led by Zheng Liang, the grandson of the Duke of Daliang, who is also a marquis. The other team is led by Su Qi'an, who was left out by his subordinates."

"Oh, continue." Kushu looked up and said softly.

"Zheng Liang is currently staying in an acropolis to recuperate. He will not make any movements in a short period of time. This person is nothing to worry about. However, Su Qian's army disappeared after encountering a dust storm."

"Missing? This man was quite talented. I didn't expect him to die like this. It's a pity."

"My subordinates don't think so. According to my investigation, two days after Su Qian's disappearance, the reinforcements he received from the military city also disappeared halfway."

"Really, Mr. Liu doesn't want to express that Su Qi'an's disappearance is not actually a disappearance, and the reinforcements that were received are not missing, but they secretly met up with Su Qi'an to plan something big?"

"Yes, this is exactly what I mean." Liu Shengming said sincerely.

But this did lead to ridicule from Cook.

Kushu shook his head with a smile and said, "Haha, sir, you are worrying too much. Let me tell you, the reinforcements did not disappear halfway, but chose to retreat and return to their respective military cities."
