Chapter 183 Are you kidding me?

That night, the furious black general Lu Chi wanted to kill people with his own sword. Under the strict guard of tens of thousands of people, a cavalry team with only more than 200 people was attacked by a cavalry team with only 200 people!

This is winter, hay is flammable, and the food and grass used by tens of thousands of people are almost burned by fire under the howling north wind, and they cannot even be saved.

Looking at the men kneeling on the ground in front of him, Lu Chi wanted to get angry but couldn't even tell him. This was a sign that his opponent's subordinates were already disappointed, and he was too lazy to scold him.

"Everyone on duty last night, whether generals or soldiers, was the first to attack the city. When siege, they were not allowed to pierce armor or hold shields."

He just gave a light command, then turned around and left.

However, this faint sentence has already determined the life and death of many people.

If he doesn't kill these dereliction of duty, he will leave them to the Chu people to kill, but at least he will give them the dignity of death in battle.

Back in his big tent, Lu Chi sat down and sighed heavily. As soon as the sky was dawn, it was the sixth day of his siege. When he came, he was still very relaxed to his subordinates, to take down the border of Chu in three days, to break through Daizhou in seven days, and to fight to the city of Jizhou in fifteen days.

If you count this way, when the flowers are blooming next spring, the army of the Black Martial Empire has already set off troops in Nanpingjiang and pointed directly to Jiangnan.

"General."

Kang Klay, a staff member of Lu Chi, whispered: "Although the Chu State has fallen into civil strife, the Chu people are good at fighting, and the gates here are tall, strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and their subordinates are not without their efforts..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Chi glared at him fiercely.

Lu Chi said: "At most, four or five days, your Majesty's army will arrive. If I have not yet been able to break through the border of Daizhou by then, do you think Your Majesty will listen to my explanation? You know how many people this pioneer general made him jealous. Everyone thinks that the vanguard general is the most lucrative. He plundered all the way. The countless gold, silver and treasures in the Central Plains seem to be able to be put into the pocket of the vanguard general. Your Majesty trusts me to hand over this most important thing to me. I can't get off the border. Those jealous people will say that I am only concerned about robbing money..."

Kang Clay said: "General, the Chu people's reinforcements are coming in a steady stream. We don't have easy-to-use siege equipment. If we are anxious to attack, the losses will inevitably be heavy. Now our casualties are nearly 10,000, so we still have to think of a way."

"A method?"

Lu Chi snorted and said, "Now the food and grass are almost all burned. If we cannot break the border within two days, we must retreat. I retreated in a mess before His Majesty, and His Majesty will dismember my five horses."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Even if you pile up a ramp with corpses, you must break through the border today!"

Half an hour later, the army of the black warriors once again swept into the border city like a wave, but every black warrior soldier had no longer the confidence and arrogance he had at the beginning. They were not like this when they first charged. They felt that as long as they rushed for a while, they could plant the battle flag of the Black War Empire on the border city wall of the Chu State.

At a high place, Tan Qianshou raised his eyes and looked out of the city. After a moment, he pointed in one direction: "Lu Chi came up in person, and I saw his flag."

Liu Mu looked in the direction he pointed, then nodded: "If I speculate well, Emperor Heiwu Khan will arrive. Liu Mu's food and grass were burned last night. If they could not break through our border within two days, they would have to retreat without food and grass. With Kuo, he could defeat Dashi's ruthlessness, and Lu Chi would be executed, so he is going to fight now."

He looked back and smiled bitterly: "And our side just looks pretty stable."

There are still few feather arrows on the city wall. More than half of the arrows brought by Yanshan Camp yesterday consumed after a battle of arrows, and there are only a few thousand feather arrows left. Under such a fierce battle, thousands of arrows could not last long.

And this border city wall is missing

Heavy defensive weapons, not even a single crossbow.

When he looked back, he happened to see the young man squatting on the ground writing and painting. He was very curious and walked over to look at it and found that the young man was painting like a map.

"What's this?"

Liu Mu asked curiously.

Li Chi looked up at him and replied, "I'm drawing the topographic map of our Daizhou border. This is the Xinzhou border. The two places are only two hundred miles apart. Now the black warriors are just not familiar with our terrain. Once they know that there is a more easily breached place, they will immediately turn to attack Xinzhou. With the strength of the black warriors, even if both sides attack at the same time, it will not be a problem."

Liu Mu nodded: "But although the Xinzhou border gate is not as tall as ours, the mountain gorges over there are narrow and the troops cannot be deployed. Only three thousand soldiers can defend the dead. Look at us, there is an open land outside, and the offensive of the black warriors can be launched in large quantities, which is different."

Li Chi shook his head and said, "I mean, Xinzhou reinforcements did not come, maybe..."

Liu Mu's face immediately changed.

He looked at Tan Qianshou, and Tan Qianshou's expression also changed when he heard Li Chi's words.

What if the black warrior really attacked at the same time?

The reinforcements from Xinzhou have never come. If the border of Shanxia in Xinzhou is also attacked by black warriors, whether it is Daizhou or Xinzhou, the other side will soon be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

"I hope..."

Before Tan Qianshou could finish his words, two soldiers came up at the city, holding a man in the army uniform. The team looked so tired that they were completely exhausted. The blood and dust on their bodies mixed together, making him look like he had just crawled out of the grave.

"General... I ask the general to send troops to rescue Xinzhou Pass. Xinzhou Pass is about to be unable to hold on anymore, General."

The team was crying and said, his voice as hoarse as if his throat had been broken.

“Xinzhou Pass…”

Liu Mu said with a pale face: "I don't want to divide the troops to save me, you can see it yourself..."

The team was looking around. There were not many people wearing official military clothes on the city wall, most of which were people. There was still some expectation in his eyes, but at this moment the expectation soon disappeared, replaced by despair.

"A total of 4,000 border troops in Daizhou and border areas have been killed in battle."

Liu Mu said in a deep tone: "Now, defending the city is entirely due to these spontaneous bravery, and I really can't get anyone out of my hands."

Li Chi suddenly stood up and said, "I'll find a way."

Liu Mu looked at him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What can you think of?"

Li Chi did not answer him, and quickly ran to the side of Wei Wudi, whispered something in Wei Wudi's ear. Wei Wudi was stunned and shook his head and said, "You know that if the eldest brother was willing to send troops, you would not have brought these two hundred brothers here..."

Li Chi said: "Just just tell Brother Yu the original words, you always have to try it. If it works, Xinzhou can be protected, and Daizhou will be somewhat sure."

Wei Wudi sighed: "Then I'll go back now. If it doesn't work, I'll come back to meet you."

Li Chi said: "Be careful all the way."

Wudi responded, turned around and told his brothers, "If I am not here, he is your leader. You will see him as you see me. He is the same as me."

"yes!"

His men answered neatly.

Wei Wudi looked at Li Chi and said, "Don't die."

Without waiting for Li Chi to answer, he turned around and ran down the city wall.

Li Chi returned to Liu Mu and Tan Qianshou and asked, "Can there be a stock of military uniforms and military flags here?"

Tan Qianshou nodded and said, "Yes, what do you want?"

Li Chi said: "Damage the city

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

All the flags were taken off and replaced with new ones. All the people on the city walls had to change into the clothes of the army. No matter what method was used, they would get big drums. The more the better. They would be placed on the city walls. Then I asked you to beat the drums with all their strength, and they must be neat."

Liu Mu asked in confusion: "Change clothes and make the enemy think that there are new reinforcements on the city wall. I can understand that, what do you want so many big drums to do?"

Li Chi said: "Just do it, if it works, you can delay for a few days."

Then he looked at Tan Qianshou and said, "After distributing people to block the daytime attack today, the people patrolling at night will each take two torches to walk around the city wall and find someone to make a big banner. It doesn't need to be very similar. It just looks like a flag. You can write any surname on it."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the surrounding brothers and said, "Send people back to the city to search for cattle and sheep, don't care about so many things. Just search for as many as you have, drive cattle and sheep to the city, and make all the cattle and sheep scream."

He looked at the brothers in Yanshan Camp and said, "Down, cut down the branches and tied them to the war horses, ride the horses and run back and forth in the city, try to get the smoke and dust as much as possible, and it is best to let the war horses scream a few more."

After he had arranged everything, he stood there against the city wall and pondered. In this way, Liu Mu, who was a fourth-rank rank, dared not come forward to disturb him. The young man was even more like a decision maker than him when he ordered people.

According to Li Chi's instructions, everyone took action. Soon, Tan Qianshou's men took out the stock of military uniforms and replaced them with the tourists, and replaced the battle flags on the city wall with new ones. Liu Mu ordered people to find the drums, and even the drums that the grass-roots team in the city singed the opera were borrowed.

The brothers from Yanshan Camp rode back and forth in the open space in the city, with dust and smoke surging and people neighing.

Outside the city, Lu Chi stood on a high place, holding a thousand miles away and looking at the edge, and then his face became increasingly ugly.

"I'm afraid the Chu army's brigade has arrived, and the ones who came were still high-ranking officials."

Lu Chi said: "The Chu people are the most arrogant. Look, the war drums are ringing on the city walls, and the flags are coming up one by one. The official position of the people coming must be quite good. Qingya information said that Prince Wu, the most fighting mansion-oriented in Chu, is in Jizhou. Most of the time, he has arrived. Prince Wu has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. We are afraid that we can't continue to fight this battle... The raid plan is no longer effective, so it seems that we have to wait for His Majesty's army to come in person before making plans."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of cattle and sheep in the city. He sighed: "The soldiers of the border of Chu State cannot even eat, but look, the senior officials of Chu State arrived, and cattle and sheep came in herds, for fear that they would not eat well at the border... In this way, even if the Chu State is not destroyed by our Black Martial Empire today, there will be a disaster of national destruction in the future."

His men no longer wanted to fight anymore. With such continuous attacks, their aura when they first arrived had already been wiped out.

"Order to withdraw temporarily and send someone to ask His Majesty for instructions."

Lu Chi turned around and went down from the high slope: "I'll say it when your Majesty's decree arrives."

On the city wall, Li Chi borrowed Liu Mu's thousand-width eyes and saw the Black Martial Army slowly retreating, he let out a long sigh.

"How do you know that you can withdraw your troops in this way?"

Liu Mu asked in surprise.

Li Chi said: "I just found a step for Lu Chi. He thought Prince Wu's army had arrived and the raid had been broken, so he naturally retreated temporarily."

Liu Mu said: "If you want to deceive him into thinking that Prince Wu has arrived, why not make Prince Wu's big flag? Instead, make some flags randomly?"

Li Chi smiled and said, "If you beat Prince Wu's banner out, Lu Chi will not believe it."

Liu Mu was silent for a moment, thought carefully, and thought about it, it made some sense.

He couldn't help asking: "Little brother, how old are you this year?"

Li Chi glanced at him and answered seriously: "Fourteen."

Liu Mu: "?????"

Li Chi thought for a while and added: "Four and a half years old."
