Yang Hong's words were like a bright light in the dark night, instantly illuminating Ren Qi's confused life.
"The plan is coming?"
"Master Taishou, there are only 2,000 people in Guangdu City. If you lead an army of 20,000 people, they will be able to break the city in half an hour! Then rush to Chengdu and join forces with Jia Long while Liu Zhang is away, and we will be able to defeat the enemy forces in Chengdu! In this way!
Once this happens, the danger in Shu County will be solved! Shu County is not in danger, and Jianwei County will be as stable as Mount Tai!"
Ren Qi quickly thought about the feasibility of Yang Hong's plan in his mind, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not very safe.
"Ji Xiu, if the whole army attacks, Wuyang City will be empty. If Jiangyuan's enemies invade, how will we deal with it?"
Ren Qi will never allow him to lose sight of one thing or the other. Wuyang City is the foundation and must not be missed.
Once Wuyang falls, the entire Jianwei County will undergo great changes!
"Don't worry, Grand Administrator, Wuyang City will be handed over to my Yang family. Yang Hong guarantees it with his head, Wuyang City will be safe!"
Ren Qi nodded slightly. He knew the strength of the Yang family. They could pull out at least a thousand private soldiers. Coupled with the Yang family's position in Wuyang, there would definitely be no problem in defending against three thousand people.
"It's very important to take the initiative. If we make a mistake, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver..."
"Master Taishou, do you have any room for maneuver while sitting in Wuyang? When Liu Zhang's army of 100,000 troops comes to the city, what will you do, Master Taishou?"
Yang Hong was a little angry. Ren Qi was so hesitant that he would miss any good opportunity!
Fei Shi on the side opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. He wanted to dissuade Ren Qi, but as Yang Hong said, just waiting would mean death and there was no point.
Just when Ren Qi was struggling, Zhang Yi spoke again.
"Your Excellency, there are still more than a thousand captured soldiers in Guangdu City. If your Excellency is able to capture Guangdu, I can summon them to defend Guangdu for you, so that I will have no worries."
Zhang Yi's words once again gave Ren Qi confidence.
If you bring an army of 20,000 people and cooperate with the 20,000 people from Chengdu to attack Liu Zhang's army, they may not be incapable of fighting.
Because unlike Zitong, the vicinity of Chengdu did not have so many steep terrains for Liu Zhang to design. Once the two armies clashed, the courage and strength of the soldiers would compete.
With 40,000 people attacking 30,000 people from a flank, not only will we win, but we can also come to a conclusion of a half victory or a loss!
Sitting on the defensive was a dead end, and there was still half a chance of attacking. After weighing the pros and cons, Ren Qi finally made up his mind.
"I have made up my mind! Join forces with Jia Long and attack Liu Zhang together!"
"The governor is wise!"
Yang Hong was immediately overjoyed and quickly stood up and complimented Ren Qi.
"Master Taishou, you can send someone to contact Jia Long as soon as possible, but we can't help him in vain. Once Liu Zhang is driven away, Jia Long will cede Jiangyuan and Guangdu to us in exchange for military interest!"
Ren Qi smiled happily, Yang Hong's words spoke to his heart.
"Yes, we can't waste manpower and material resources in vain!"
"Master Taishou, we are like this..."
Ren Qi carefully discussed the detailed plan with Yang Hong, Zhang Yi, and Fei Shi, and finally unified their opinions.
Half a month later, Ren Qi took Zhang Yi and an army of 20,000 to Guangdu. Yang Hong and Fei Shi were left behind to guard Wuyang City.
Wuyang is about eighty miles away from Guangdu, and can be reached in half a day's march.
Ren Qi set out from Wuyang City at Yinshi, but did not rush the soldiers on their way.
Even so, Youshi reached five miles away from Wuyang City, and at the same time the entire army was already hiding.
Ren Qi did not choose to attack the city directly, but ordered the three armies to rest for a night to restore their physical strength and condition to their peak state.
There was no words for a night, and everything was quiet. Ren Qi spent the night peacefully, and nothing happened.
It is now mid-June, the sky is already very bright at Yinshi, and the soldiers of the three armies have also had breakfast, and then they can march into Guangdu.
"Jun Si, we only have fifteen ladders. How do you think we should attack Guangdu?"
Fifteen ladders can line up a city wall.
If you concentrate your forces to attack one place, it will inevitably be a waste, and the enemy can also concentrate his forces for defense.
However, they are too scattered, with only a few ladders on each city wall, and the intensity of the attack will be greatly reduced.
Zhang Yi did not answer immediately, but thought seriously for a while.
"Master Taishou, before Liu Zhang led his army to surround three men but one man was missing, it caused a morale turmoil to our soldiers. In my opinion, it is better to follow Liu Zhang's example and we will also surround three men but one man is missing!"
Surrounding San Que Yi will leave an escape route for the enemy, so their will to resist will not be so strong.
"Well, this is a good idea, but which wall should we leave behind?"
"Leave the south side so that they cannot return to Chengdu via the main road. This will also delay the Chengdu camp from getting the news of the fall of Guangdu!"
Ren Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about Zhang Yi's suggestion.
They are coming from the south. If they want to clear the south, they need to bypass the south gate and attack. In this way, the enemy will know the intention of attacking in advance.
"Let's do this, leave the east gate, and then attack from the south gate, so that the soldiers beyond Guangdu will not dare to go to Chengdu!"
It was too time-consuming to bypass the south gate. Ren Qi slightly modified the plan so that he could attack the south gate directly, and then separate his teams to attack the west gate and the north gate respectively.
"Your Majesty, the Governor is still very thoughtful!"
Ren Qi chuckled a few times. He didn't want to listen to Zhang Yi's praise and stood up directly to give the order.
"Send the order, the whole army rushes to Guangdu, and the city must be broken within half an hour!"
After a night's rest, the 20,000-strong army had already returned to its peak condition.
After breakfast, the soldiers were full of energy and not afraid of the upcoming battle.
"Set off!"
Five miles is not a short distance, and it would take a quarter of an hour if you walked.
This time, under the leadership of Ren Qi, the 20,000 soldiers marched as fast as flying. In less than a quarter of an hour, Guangdu City appeared in Ren Qi's eyes.
"Captain Zhang and Captain Jiang, you two each lead five thousand troops to attack the west gate and the north gate respectively. Remember, you must capture the city gate as soon as possible!"
"As you command!"
"Liu Lieutenant, lead five thousand troops to guard the northwest road. You must not let the defeated troops of Guangdu City pass here!"
"As you command!"
There were only five ladders on one city wall, and the five thousand soldiers were completely overflowing. Ren Qi thought again and again, and decided to separate five thousand soldiers to block the main road, so as to prepare for the attack and catch the enemy troops under Chengdu by surprise!
hiss...
Ren Qi slowly drew out his sword. He had not been so excited for a long time.
"Soldiers, attack Guangdu and kill!"
"Roar!..."
Five thousand soldiers heard the sound and moved, roaring to the sky, carrying ladders and rushing towards the city wall of Guangdu.
Boo hoo hoo...
The effect of the surprise attack was not achieved. When Ren Qi's soldiers approached the city wall, they were counterattacked by Guangdu City.
Arrows rained down on the city, quickly causing a lot of casualties.
