Chapter 503: Building the plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly
As the sun rises, countless rays of golden light penetrate the morning glow, shining on the surrounding fields and mountains. The morning breeze blows slightly, and crystal clear dewdrops fall down along the grass blades, like pearls rolling on a jade plate.
.
Chang Yizhi stared at the north bank, his brows furrowed, and his face looked like a dry river, calm but dark and gloomy.
Next to him, Yu Zhong, Fu Luo, deputy general Pei Sui, etc., all looked like Chang Yi, with faces as gloomy as water.
Only Yuan Li seems to be calm and unfazed, but she is happy in her heart.
When he went into Changyi's tent to discuss matters last night, he learned that after he and Yu Zhong left, Changyizhi and Fuluo agreed to set up an army of 10,000 elite infantrymen and 3,000 elite cavalrymen at Chencang Pass in the south of Mianyuan City.
.Name him well to prevent Li Chengzhi from highlighting his name and capturing Chencang.
But Yuan Li is not an idiot, and it is self-evident what Chang Yi’s purpose is.
Now that his escape route is cut off, unless he completely breaks up and insists on going his own way, he can only wait for the dust to settle before making plans. Yuan Li can only endure the bad breath.
Therefore, the discussion went very smoothly, and Yuanli agreed to whatever Chang Yi asked for.
Hence today's formation: Yuanli's more than 10,000 infantrymen serve as the vanguard, Changyi's army is behind as the center army, and Fuluo's more than 10,000 fine cavalry protect the left and right wings.
Naturally, a large formation with nearly 100,000 troops cannot be completed in one fell swoop. In fact, since the afternoon of yesterday, when Chang Yi ordered the civilians to demolish the village wall and block the river, the formation had quietly begun to be set up.
However, it was only slightly changed after nightfall. In front of the vanguard camp, Yuanli's soldiers were used to set up a cone-shaped formation like an arrow. This can be regarded as a lesson Chang Yizhi taught Yuanli.
Who would have thought that the war could start just by Changyi's order, but Anbei turned into an empty camp?
The wall of the village is still the same, the ditch outside the village is still the same, and there are even many flags standing around the camp, rustling in the wind. But there is no one in the camp...
Yuan Li was so unfortunate and gloated: Look, even God has opened his eyes, and he doesn’t want grandpa to be a scapegoat to help you block the arrow...
No matter how happy you are in your heart, you can't show it on your face. Yuan Li's face became slightly solemn, with a bit of complaint:
"Last night, I saw the enemy's camp fighting at open fire, with horses neighing and cattle mooing, so I suspected that Li Shao was retreating overnight. He even advised the county magistrate not to take advantage of Li Shao's unsteady footing when he retreated, and send out all his troops to break into the camp and kill him. But the county magistrate did not
I'm worried that this is Li Zhi's plan, so he missed a great opportunity..."
Chang Yi's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.
Grandpa said at the time that setting up camp at night was a taboo for marching. How could Li Shao not know about this after half his life on the expedition? So maybe it was the Wei army's plan to mislead the troops.
But before these words, Grandpa once said: It is now the spring flood, and the water is deep and urgent. Unless the water is blocked upstream and the valley is filled up, even if Li Shao knows that he will withdraw his troops overnight, he can only look at the river and sigh. Even without these words, Yuan Li has led the army for many years and has a great reputation. How could she be like a blind man and not see such a wide river blocking her eyes?
This thief was obviously secretly angry because I sent him as the vanguard to break the camp. Now that he had no hope of attacking the enemy again, he added insult to injury and ridiculed Chang.
Do you really think that my Changyoshi's sword can't cut anyone?
Chang Yizhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze fell on Yuan Li's face like a knife blade: "Now is the time of spring floods, and the Qishui River is more than thirty feet wide. And it was only at the beginning of the fifth watch today that the upper reaches of the river was blocked.
The soldiers were able to fill up the river. I dare to ask Your Highness, last night when the enemy camp was in a state of turmoil, Chang wanted to send troops to rush into the stronghold and break the camp to cover up the killing. How did he transport the soldiers across the north bank?"
Yuan Li chuckled: "It is often said that people in the south are good at fishing on the Fushui River. Even in the big river (Yangtze River), which is as dangerous as the natural chasm, they are still like living fish. So why doesn't the county magistrate send his men to cross the Fushui River at night?" p>
Li Shao is not a fool, how can he still watch the enemy soldiers cross the river?
As long as a battalion of archers is placed on the shore, real fish will swim up and be nailed to the bottom of the river.
Yuan Li made it clear that she was making excuses, but Chang Yizhi didn't want to pay attention to the traitor anymore. He just snorted coldly and gave an order in a solemn voice: "Send the order to the whole army, cross the river and attack the city!"
As soon as the drum sounded, all the military commanders returned to their respective formations and urged the soldiers to set up camp. Yuan Liying didn't even bother to respond, so she urged her horses to leave.
Yu Zhong hurriedly followed and said very dissatisfied: "Now is the time when we rely on Changyi, why do you bother to be evil with him? Besides, since you respect him as the commander-in-chief, you and I are both his generals. If you find a
What should you do if your sin is punished from the head?"
"He and I are not the same ministers, what kind of crime does he want to punish me? It's just a fight..."
Yuan Li sneered and said, "Besides, he was unkind: before I could do anything, he treated me like a thief and was on guard. How could I let grandpa swallow this bad breath?"
"Are you afraid it's more than that?"
Yu Zhong's eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to pierce Yuan Li's heart, "Yesterday you said that you wanted me to leave some room for a retreat. Today, you are about to give Chang, who is very popular in the Southern Dynasty and deeply trusted by the Southern Emperor,
Righteousness can lead to death?"
"When did I say that I must rebel to the Southern Dynasty? That's just your wishful thinking... and I have long had enough of the Han people wearing clothes and tying their hats, painting their eyebrows and lips, talking about benevolence and morality, and being full of flies and dogs. Otherwise, why would I
Will it be counterproductive?
Therefore, I would rather run to the desert and go to Tuyuhun to graze than return to the Southern Dynasty and be an idle prince... But don't worry, I will do my best in this battle, and it will be nothing more than the death and injury of these more than ten thousand infantry. Chang.
I'd rather not send me to attack the city personally..."
Is that true?
General Yu Zhong was doubtful, but he always felt that Yuan Li was duplicity.
Within a few words, the two of them had returned to the forward camp. With more than 10,000 infantrymen camped together, nearly 10,000 Nannan troops crossed the front line, driving chariots and various tools for breaking the city, and quickly headed towards the foot of Mianyin City.
Move.
Chang Yizhi had already concluded that when the Wei army made such a big movement at night, Li Shao was retreating into the city. He was just trying to calm down the morale of the army by questioning the tactics of the army.
In private, Chang Yizhi's various arrangements were extremely detailed, and the first priority was naturally to attack the city.

As for when we can conquer it, and how many casualties there will be, we can only do our best to ensure the fate of the people...
The preparations were extremely sufficient, and the army advanced very quickly. After the drum order sounded throughout the army, it took about a moment for the army to start slowly.
A huge cloud cart, four feet high, was pulled by twenty oxen and horses. Chang Yizhi stood leaning on the railing, looking to the east, with a worried look on his face.
Seeing this, Pei Sui asked in a low voice: "Is the county magistrate worried about Ziyun (Lan Ziyun)?"
"Assaulting cities and plundering territory will inevitably lead to casualties. Even if seventy-eight percent of the Wei army's troops are concentrated in Qi and Qin states, there are still soldiers left behind in the other counties and counties. Moreover, the people of Wei are fierce and fierce, regardless of whether they are from a noble family.
, are still powerful old officials, and they all have built forts and have private soldiers. Therefore, Ziyun's trip may not necessarily be smooth..."
Chang Yi sighed leisurely, "Furthermore, people like Fuluo, Yuan Li, and Yu Zhong are all as afraid of Li Chengzhi as a tiger. Various letters reported that they were 'thunders from the sky' and other things, and Yuan Li and Yu
Zhong's saying that "people are given by heaven and have wonderful plans" is not groundless.
That’s why I’m worried: If Li Chengzhi sees through my plan of ‘building a plank road in the open and crossing Chencang secretly’, and instead of rushing to aid Li Shao, instead rides fast horses and light horses to the east, Ziyun will be in danger...”
A man given by heaven...a wonderful plan?
How could there be such a person in the world?
Pei Sui didn't believe it, and Wen Yan comforted him: "If he could really count, Emperor Wei would not have died, so it must be a lie! As for the thunder weapons and other items, we will naturally know when Jing Jun returns..." <
/p>
What else?
It can only be regarded as a rumor...
Chang Yizhi nodded slightly: "Calculate the time, Jing Jun should have already engaged Li Chengzhi... If there is an emergency report, don't delay, remember to remind me..."
"Don't worry, county magistrate, you will save money in the end!"
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of a gong in the distance. The two of them were suddenly startled. They both looked back and saw numerous horses approaching at extremely fast speeds.
The knight on the horse shouted loudly while urging his horse, saying that it was urgent, and the soldiers along the way gave way.
