Xia Chu returned to General Zhao's tent and found that Zhao Shuangquan, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu were all here.
The situation is urgent, and they are sitting around the sand table to discuss countermeasures.
When General Zhao saw him coming in, he asked him with a serious face: "But the people sent to check are back?"
"Yes, 300,000 Hu troops are camped five hundred miles away." Xia Chu said in a calm tone, not showing any panic.
However, other people in the account.
But, they all panicked...
Xia Chu didn't give them time to think about it and leaned against the sand table. He pointed around Han Yangcheng and said, "While the soldiers can still move, we have to seize the time to set up some traps. For example, rolling rocks, hot oil, etc."
Xia Chu pointed to the road from Hanyang City to the outside of the Great Wall and said: "Dig some horse traps along the road four hundred miles away. Small round holes about thirty centimeters deep are enough. Wait for the cavalry horses to enter. With a broken leg, they must stop for a moment to check for traps.”
"This method is very good, but it can only be used once." Zhao Shuangquan said.
Xia Chu nodded and said: "So there is no need to dig too much. After the investigation, they may switch to infantry first. Three hundred miles away, we need to set up hanging logs and wooden forks from both sides. This made them panic and had to investigate again. "
"You want to engage in psychological warfare?" Zhao Xingwu asked.
"No, what I want most is time." Xia Chu replied to Zhao Xingwu.
Fu pointed to a place two hundred miles away on the road and said: "According to the previous rules, the enemy may be more careful here. Therefore, we did not set up an ambush here to waste some of their time, but changed it to a place a hundred miles away. Dig the last trap, and place sharp wooden thorns in each of these traps. In this way, both humans and horses will suffer a lot of losses."
"Leave this matter to me." Zhao Xingwen said to General Zhao.
General Zhao nodded, and Zhao Xingwen went down first.
"In such a short period of time, you have dealt with it extremely thoroughly." General Zhao's tone was full of appreciation.
Xia Chu sighed inconspicuously, how could such a short time come
As a soldier fighting in a war, he would definitely be inferior to his grandfather, uncle and cousin. During this time, he kept reading military books when he had nothing to do.
All he could do for them was think about this path.
"How many soldiers are there in Qingcheng?" Xia Chu asked.
"There are only 20,000 defenders there." Zhao Xingwu replied.
"Cousin Xingwu, go to Qingcheng and borrow the troops guarding the city." Xia Chu said to Zhao Xingwu.
"It's just a drop in the bucket, but it can't solve the urgent need." Hu Jun had 300,000 soldiers. Zhao Xingwu felt that 20,000 soldiers would be gone if they were thrown in.
"It's better than nothing. Only Qingcheng is the closest." Xia Chu said in a deep voice.
"Go ahead." Old General Zhao ordered.
"Yes." Zhao Xingwu accepted the order and went down.
"When cousin Xingwu comes back, we can select a few elites from the city defenders to form a small team and carry out a surprise attack in conjunction with the trap we just set. We don't want to annihilate many enemy troops, but they must be exhausted physically and mentally."
Zhao Shuangquan nodded and said, "I will arrange this."
Xia Chu knew that his uncle was a good soldier, so he made a few pointers and stopped talking. He changed the topic and asked General Zhao: "Grandpa, where is the nearest army stationed here?"
Old General Zhao pointed to the upper right corner of Hanyang City on the map and said: "Yucheng, King Mo's Army."
"King Mo's army? How many miles away from here?" Xia Chu asked.
"Eight hundred miles." General Zhao glanced at Xia Chu and knew that he was tempted to ask for help.
But.
"It's too late." Old General Zhao whispered.
Hu Jun has already approached five hundred miles away. Even if he sends people to Yucheng to ask for help now, it will still take seven days at full speed. Not to mention whether King Mo will agree to privately transfer troops. Even if he breaks camp and comes, he will still be three days ahead of Hu Jun. Hundreds of miles.
What's more, there are still seven days that are going by at a rapid pace.
"There's enough time!" Xia Chu looked at General Zhao with firm eyes.
General Zhao and Zhao Shuangquan were both stunned. How could this be done in time
"As long as grandpa and uncle can command the 20,000 defenders to hold out for five days after Hu's army attacks the city. Five days will be enough. I will definitely be able to bring King Mo's army here." Xia Chu said firmly.
"Five days?" General Zhao narrowed his eyes. Not to mention whether Xia Chu could arrive on time with King Mo's army, just holding on for five days would be extremely difficult.
Xia Chu calculated that if he abandoned his horse and flew all the way, he could arrive in less than a day. He grabbed Xiao Mubai and immediately ordered his troops to set off, only to be one day behind.
Although there are three hundred more miles, now that Han Yang has sealed the city, the Hu people probably still don't know the specific physical condition of the soldiers in the city.
For them, the best time to send troops is the day when the Zhao family's army is unable to restrain the chicken.
If they waited long enough, they might be able to wait until Xia Chu came back with King Mo's army.
Even if they didn't wait, their five hundred miles would still be a normal march, and they would even move slowly and cautiously to avoid being discovered in advance by Zhao Jiajun's scouts.
As a result, he led King Mo's army to rush all the way.
The difference is only five days at most.
Of course, the premise is that he must call King Mo's army.
"Yes! Old General Zhao, General Zhao." Xia Chu made a military salute to his grandfather and uncle with clasped fists, and solemnly said: "I will set off immediately. In five days, I will definitely lead Mo Wang's army back to Hanyang City. You also please , be sure to defend Hanyang City!"
"Okay." Zhao Shuangquan's blood boiled and he returned a military salute to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu walked to the entrance of the account and stopped.
After thinking for a while, he turned around and told Old General Zhao: "Grandpa, Guo Weidong must be careful. He is a relative of the emperor and the country."
General Zhao looked shocked, and after a moment he said to Xia Chu in a deep voice: "Shuangquan and I have suspected him of collaborating with the enemy before."
Xia Chu frowned and asked, "I asked you earlier if there was anything strange in the army. Why didn't you tell me then?"
General Zhao said with a rather doubtful look on his face: "There is no evidence, so we just..."
"Let's wait until we finish the battle to discuss this matter. Keep an eye on him first." Xia Chu warned without complaining.
General Zhao nodded.
"Grandpa, uncle. You must wait until I come back alive." Xia Chu turned to face the outside of the tent.
"This is our agreement!"
After Xia Chu finished speaking, he lifted the tent and left.
Raven saw Xia Chu coming out and followed him.
Xia Chu turned around and looked up at the raven and said, "Your injury has not healed, and you still have six days to fully recover your martial arts. You don't have to follow me on this trip."
Raven shook her head.
Xia Chu said in a deep voice: "I am going to Yucheng this time to find reinforcements. I will fly there with all my strength. With your current body, you can't keep up with me."
The raven lowered his head upon hearing this.
He knew that what Xia Chu said was true.
"Raven, I have more important things for you to do."
"What's the matter?"
"Old General Zhao, I'm begging you. If, and I mean if, the city is destroyed, please protect their lives and take them away."
Raven stared into Xia Chu's eyes, which were full of hope and trust placed in him alone.
"Okay." Raven promised.
Xia Chu smiled gratefully, turned around and walked towards the exit of the military camp.
Xia Chu's back gradually disappeared, and Raven stood outside General Zhao's tent.
He looked up at the clear blue sky.
I looked at the blossoming white clouds.
even if.
Hanyang City was broken.
Zhao's army was all dead.
I stand here with a single sword, and I will also defend the people you want me to protect.
