Sheng Nankui's loud shout immediately silenced the city. Everyone who heard it stopped what they were doing and looked at Chenyue.

Immediately, the Beiliang border troops all shouted to pay their respects to the Marquis of Beiliang, and the people of Jianmen Pass who finally recovered from their nerves also shouted.

Chenyue was startled by the roar, and could only wave his hands, then glanced at the surrounding soldiers and shouted: "You are all good! Get to work!"

"oh!"

With a simple sentence, the soldiers at the top of the city cheered and enthusiastically devoted themselves to defending the city.

Each one worked harder than before, after all, the Marquis of Beiliang was here to watch.

Chenyue turned around and glared at Sheng Nankui fiercely, and cursed: "Why don't you lower your voice, you're going to scare me!"

Sheng Nankui's robe was still stained with some blood, and he grinned: "I'm used to it, haha."

Under the secret gazes of the surrounding soldiers, a group of generals came to a battlement.

Chenyue looked at the swarming army outside the city under the bright sun and asked: "How is the offensive of the Jin soldiers outside the city these days?"

Sheng Nankui rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "This group of trash, the golden soldiers attacked the city at first. After fighting for less than half a month, they found that the casualties were too high, so they pulled the red-headed soldiers over. Now basically the soldiers attacking the city are red-headed soldiers.

, mixed with a small number of golden soldiers. Although the offensive has been a bit fierce these days, we can hold it."

Chen Yue stood on tiptoe and looked outside the city. He saw many fire racks set up outside the wide city gate. There were obvious black marks of being burned. Chen Yue asked in surprise: "They also attack the city at night.

?”

"Yes, these grandsons are anxious, working day and night." Sheng Nankui said with a smile.

While everyone was chatting, there was a rumbling sound. The soldiers on the top of the city had long been accustomed to this sound, and quickly took shelter in corner towers and other bunkers.

In the blink of an eye, stones rained down on the top of the city, and some scattered soldiers who had no time to escape were injured or killed on the spot.

Chen Yue, who leaned out from the turret, frowned and looked at the messy city head, and murmured: "It seems that this catapult has caused quite a lot of trouble."

Xie Xiaolei nodded: "This catapult also works day and night, it's a bit of a headache."

Chenyue looked at the Jinbing barracks in the distance, and could vaguely see the catapult phalanx, not far behind the siege infantry.

You can also see one or two Jin cavalry stationed on both sides, and further away is the densely packed Jin soldiers camp. There is a distance of about five or six miles between the front camp and the siege army.

Chen Yue rested his palms on the edge of the city wall and suddenly turned around and asked: "If we destroy their catapult phalanx, won't the pressure on defending the city be much less?"

All the generals were stunned, and Xie Xiaolei was the first to react: "What do you mean by the Marquis, to rush out of the city to attack?"

"How is it?" Chen Yue nodded, waiting for the generals to express their opinions.

Sheng Nankui took the lead and said: "It would be best if the catapults could be destroyed. It will take at least half a month for the Jin soldiers to mobilize new catapults."

Bian Luan laughed and said: "I agree with both hands. I have long wanted to go out and fight."

Seeing that the two of them agreed, Chenyue smiled and looked at Xie Xiaolei and Lin Xian: "What do you say?"

Xie Xiaolei and Lin Xian looked at each other and smiled and said: "Master Hou, we have been thinking about killing each other for a day or two."

"Hahaha." Chenyue laughed loudly: "Let's go to the meeting hall!"

In the afternoon, everyone appeared in the meeting hall at Jianmen Pass.

The terrain outside the city gate tower has been simulated on the sand table in the meeting hall, marking the situation between the enemy and ourselves as clearly as possible.

There are a bunch of small golden flags planted on the sand table closest to the city wall, representing the siege infantry of the Jin soldiers.

Behind the small flag are piles of small wooden blocks, which represent the catapults or crossbow battalion phalanx of the Jin soldiers.

There are also a few small red flags stuck in the gaps between the small wooden blocks. These are the Jin people's wandering horses.

"Everyone, please take a look." Sheng Nankui, who is most familiar with the layout of the army outside the city, pointed to the sand table and said: "Every time the enemy attacks the city, there are usually three to four thousand infantry divided into several square formations to participate in the battle, occupying the entire city wall. Every half day

Rotate once, day and night. Although these red-headed soldiers are not very powerful, they are commanded by the golden soldiers in front and the supervising team behind them. They have no choice but to attack desperately. Behind the siege army are catapults and some

The crossbow battalion is used to carry out long-range attacks against us, and the flanks of the crossbow battalion and the catapult phalanx are usually guarded by one or two rangers, estimated to number about two to three thousand people."

Chen Yue nodded: "You generals must know the situation of the army outside the city much better than me, and our purpose this time is to go out of the city to destroy the Jin soldiers' catapults and reduce the pressure on the defense of Jianmen Pass!"

After thinking about it all afternoon, Chenyue already had a specific method for a sneak attack in his mind.

Everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of eagerness to try. They had been holding on to the city for so many days, but everyone was exhausted.

"The catapult formation is quite far away from the city wall. We can only use cavalry to attack. Xie Xiaolei, how many cavalry can we gather in the city now?" Chen Yue asked,

Xie Xiaolei replied without hesitation: "I have less than a thousand cavalry under my command, and General Lin also has three thousand white snow guards."

"Four thousand?" Chenyue hesitated and muttered: "It's a little less!"

Bian Luan touched the hilt of the Beiliang sword in his waist and said: "There are many hunters and soldiers who join the army at the top of the city who can ride horses. Although they are not as good as the frontier troops, they are certainly not bad. There is no problem in pulling up another one or two thousand people.

."

"Okay!" Chenyue nodded happily after hearing this: "With these two thousand people, plus my thousand personal soldiers, that's enough!"

Several people were shocked when they heard this, and Xie Xiaolei quickly said: "Master Marquis, do you want to leave the city in person?"

Chen Yue raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course, otherwise why would I come to Jianmen Pass? Don't worry, I have been in battle more times than you."

Several people's faces were full of bitterness, and they could tell from Chen Yue's expression that he had to go to this battle.

"Okay, stop thinking about this, let's discuss the specific combat methods!" Chen Yue raised his hand, pulling everyone back from their thoughts.

Everyone shook their heads and focused on the sand table.

"First of all, we should determine the time to leave the city. I suggest it be in the middle of the night!" Chen Yue said solemnly.

Xie Xiaolei thought for a while and agreed: "I agree, we should choose the middle of the night, when the enemy's guards are the most lax, and attack when their two waves of siege armies are rotating! We will definitely catch them off guard!"

"Agree!" Several people nodded.

"Okay!" Seeing that no one had any objections, Chenyue said, "I have planned the specific plan like this. Please listen carefully."
