Two hundred and sixtieth chapters staring at each other
It was already nightfall in Roucheng, but Chen Jingzhi was still on duty on the city wall.
Because the Guangjun army is already at the city.
Chen Jingzhi stood there motionless, from noon to evening, always quietly watching the soldiers and horses in Shangguang County camping in the gentle slope in the distance, without any intention of sending troops out of the city.
When the night completely enveloped the world and the light of fire appeared in the military camp in Guangjun, two teams of people successively entered the camp from both sides of the camp.
As the sky became darker, torches began to ignite on the city wall, illuminating the opposite bank of the dark moat under the city wall. From time to time, an archer would shoot burning arrows to the other side of the moat to further detect the virtuality and reality of the river bank.
Chen Jingzhi just watched it without saying a word.
It was not until a woman wearing a white veil appeared beside him, and he turned around and asked, "Miss Qianxue is here, is there anything unusual about Senior Qi Xingzi?"
The beautiful woman was Qianxue. She looked at the army camp in the distance and shook her head, then asked, "How many enemy troops are?"
"Just look at the size of the camp and the number of lighting, it must be about 100,000," Chen Jingzhi chuckled, "Just from my perspective, the total number of people in the first and last few groups is only 50,000 or 60,000. Combined with the Military Affairs Office's calculation of the current situation in Guangjun, considering the inevitable pressure on the eastern line of Guangjun, Yunbailou can call at most the same number of elite people at this time. Even if all the labor logistics are included, it will not exceed 80,000."
"Eighty thousand, that's already twice as many as mine," Qianxue said.
"If you want to take down a big city in Leju County, you have to have so many troops," Chen Jingzhi said without any modesty. "If you count the number of soldiers I can force in this Rou City now and the losses caused by the lasting tug-of-war, this little force is really not much."
"So we still have to look at the movements of Lutou City and Chuan City?" Qianxue asked.
"Just look at Chuancheng, Roucheng will not be lost, so Lutoucheng will not be troubled," Chen Jingzhi said firmly.
"Okay," Qianxue looked southeast, "I'll go to Chuancheng."
Chen Jingzhi shook his head, "The prefect sent a letter to ask me to take good care of Miss Qianxue for him."
"Just," Qianxue raised her chin slightly and said coldly, "When did I need anyone to take care of her?"
"I think so too. With the girl's strength, no one needs to take care of her," Chen Jingzhi said, "but there is really something here that Jingzhi wants to ask the girl for help."
Qianxue turned her head and looked at Chen Jingzhi, "Do you still want me to catch mice for you in this Ruo City?"
"Yes," Chen Jingzhi said seriously, "Chuancheng is indeed important, but after all, there are two directions of Chunyang City and Liangcang City as restraints. We can deal with it if it really wants to do something. Moreover, as long as there is no problem with Roucheng itself, even if the Sichuan City army comes, it will not be much worse than now. Jingzhi's only concern..." He turned around and looked into the city, "It's Roucheng itself..."
Qianxue frowned and looked back at the big city behind her, then looked at the camp outside the city and asked about unrelated things, "What news is coming from the southern Xinjiang?"
"The Prefect has arrived at Taiming with the Lijun Light Cavalry. There will be delays in the transmission of the news. At the same time, the information transferred by the Military Affairs Office should also make some choices in terms of content. This spring, the battle in southern Xinjiang may not be easy, but Taiming should be no problem," Chen Jingzhi said with great affirmation, "General Lu understands the significance of the Prefect to Lijun now, so there will be no problem."
"I hope this is the case. After Roucheng's affairs, I will go south to find him. General Chen, I hope you can be promoted and rich again after this battle," Qianxue said and left.
Chen Jingzhi just looked at the camp outside the city without saying a word.
————————————————————
When Chen Jingzhi was watching the dark camp outside the city.
In an inconspicuous corner on the edge of the camp outside the city, two people were also looking at Roucheng.
One of them was snow-white, and even in the dimly lit army camp, it was Yun Bailou. He looked up slightly and looked down at the towering city with his hands. "This soft city has never rejected me. This is the first time and it should be the last time," he turned his head and smiled at a somewhat short but strong veteran beside him, "I'm right, General Lin?"
The short general had white hair and beards and wrinkles on his face, but his complexion was very good. He looked energetic, especially his big hands, and his blue veins suddenly showed a strong sense of power. He heard what Yun Bailou said, "Young Master, don't underestimate the general of Rou City. This time, we came to be a tired army. When we camped, we looked almost unprepared. We had the opportunity to take advantage of the man but were not moved at all. Otherwise, the ambushed troops who were ambushing him can send him a big defeat to defeat his army. It can be seen that he is calm and calm. In the daytime, I have circled around Rou City to observe its defense. A big city was arranged in a very well-organized manner, and there are hidden places in the distance, inside and outside. The key areas of the siege are echoing each other and joining each other in a line. It is really solid. Considering that this person can be arranged in this way, he should be a veteran and powerful general."
"A strong general is indeed a strong general, but he may not be able to be very mature," Yun Bailou smiled, "General Lin, the guardian should be Chen Jingzhi, the young general who is the most valued by the prefect of Lijun.
"Is it him? He actually guarded Rou City..." The short-sized veteran general was not too surprised, but just frowned slightly, "Then this battle is not easy..."
"There are no strong generals in the world. Apart from the first few battles, every battle will probably not be easy since then." Yun Bailou did not talk about this topic, but asked about other things. "General Lin has not led troops for many years. What do you think of this Jincheng Army when he resurfaces?"
"It's not satisfactory," the short-sized old general frowned even deeper when he heard this. "Compared with the Jincheng army in the past, the current army has improved significantly in terms of the number of soldiers and equipment quality, but its combat effectiveness may have declined. Even if the core branches of this army have experienced the elites who have experienced combat formations in attacking Hanoi, their murderous intent is still too shallow. A strong army must be a rare thing that can be obtained by repeatedly honing in the war between blood and fire. Now... it's still far away."
"In the eyes of Old General Lin, can there be a strong army in Lijun?" Yun Bailou asked again.
"Of course," the short-sized old general looked in the direction of Roucheng, "Isn't this Chen Jingzhi the strong army of Lu Dongfeng? But if he recruited new soldiers in Anling to fight against Guangjun, he would be unable to be called a strong army, but he would be half a pound of Jincheng army today."
"Half a pound is enough," Yun Bailou smiled brightly when he heard this, and there was a cold light in his eyes looking towards Roucheng. "Just now, General Lin said that Roucheng is as solid as a soup, maybe yes, but I can let him reveal a fatal flaw at any time, but..."
The short-sized old general looked at Yun Bailou in surprise, but asked nothing.
“…just let them turn their eyes on us first…!!”
