Chapter 134 The heroine Di Ji who died for her country (13)
Chi Yuan sat on a tall tree branch and swayed his legs gently among the yellow and green branches and leaves. He weighed the pebbles and a slingshot in his hands, and rolled his eyes, and suddenly he saw something in front of him.
Liang: "Yes!"
Like a cat, he jumped down from the tree with nimble and light movements.
No one around noticed Chi Yuan. He looked around for a while, then tiptoed to the bottom of the city wall, aiming the slingshot in his hand motionlessly at a certain place.
"Bang!"
Someone fell to the ground with a groan.
At this time, outside Zhuyue City, Li Mo was yelling and cursing for a long time, but no one in the city responded. He felt like he was punching cotton with his fist - he felt helpless despite his strength.
Lin Zhen stood on the hill in the west of the city, watching from a distance the soldiers and horses led by Li Mo who were stagnant outside the city and could not help but frown deeply: What's going on?
She turned to the herald beside her and ordered: "Herald, go and ask General Li to see what is going on over there and report back to me as soon as possible."
The herald said "yes" and left.
Li Mo stood at the foot of the city. When he was helpless, he saw the herald galloping from behind the formation. He rushed up to meet him and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
The herald quickly got off his horse and reported: "General, His Highness has no orders. He just sent a villain to inquire about the situation here."
What is the situation in Zhuyue City... Li Mo couldn't tell. He frowned and replied, "There is no movement from the soldiers in the city. I don't know why."
As he said that, Li Mo scratched his head in pain. He turned to look at the five hundred soldiers behind him and thought: If the soldiers and horses in the city continue to stand still like this and are not fooled, how can they try to capture the city with just such a small number of soldiers and horses?
Zhuyue City is definitely not enough. Alas, we can only try to get the Chinese army led by His Highness to help attack...
Thinking of this, he turned to the herald and said: "Please report to His Highness that the soldiers and horses in the city refuse to go out to fight, so we can only ask Your Highness to lead the Chinese army to help!"
The herald quickly flew back and reported the situation in Zhuyue City to Lin Zhen.
After hearing the news from the herald, Lin Zhen looked at the army and horses behind him and sighed almost imperceptibly: If he failed to lure the enemy soldiers out of the city, the original plan would definitely not work...
He had no choice but to lead his troops to meet Li Mo in front of Zhuyue City. Lin Zhen looked at the people behind him, raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone, come with me to help General Li!"
She led the Chinese army and horses towards the direction of Zhuyue City.
Soon, Li Mo heard the loud sound of horse hoofbeats coming from behind his military formation.
Li Mo turned around and saw Lin Zhen arriving with the Chinese army that had been preparing to ambush.
Seeing Lin Zhen riding up to him, he lowered his head in embarrassment: Well, I asked His Highness for the task of being a vanguard, but in the end he failed to break through the city and had to change his plan to let His Highness lead the army.
Come to help...
As soon as Lin Zhen saw Li Mo's expression, he knew what he was thinking and comforted him: "General Li, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly and it has nothing to do with you."
Li Mo nodded shyly and thought for a while, then repeated the current situation to Lin Zhen in detail: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened in the city. No matter how our army called the formation, none of the soldiers in Zhuyue City went to battle."
Lin Zhen nodded, indicating that he already knew about this.
She raised her head and looked at the loose guards on the city wall not far away. She was a little confused about what the situation was. She turned to Li Mo and asked: "You have dealt with Gu Ladun, the city guard, and you know that he usually
How are you as a person? How good are you at arranging troops?"
Li Mo didn't understand what was going on. He frowned and recalled it, and said: "Guladun has always been cruel and bloodthirsty, and loves to show off his cruelty. If I go by my past experience of fighting with him, I
He only led five hundred soldiers to call for formation, and there was no way he could just ignore it."
Li Mo also fought with Guradun for a long time, and he had a relatively clear grasp of his temper.
Lin Zhen listened to Li Mo's evaluation of this person, lowered his head and thought: "If this is the case... either there is a think tank around Guradun to advise him, or there is some big change in Zhuyue City that we don't know about.
"
There is no big problem with this guess. But no matter what the situation is, if Gualadun can't retreat like this, how can they defeat Zhuyue City quickly and minimize losses?
Li Mo frowned over this matter. He really had no way to deal with these Huns who were not going to fight. He could only ask Lin Zhen for the next step of action: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Lin Zhen looked up at the high and thick walls of Zhuyue City, pondered for a few breaths, and suddenly turned to ask Li Mo: "Do you have any bamboo ladders for siege in the army?"
Bamboo ladders do exist. When the army is attacking a city and there are no ladders, they will make do with bamboo ladders. But that is a last resort when they are desperate. They are new here, so why do they use such an extreme method?
Li Mo didn't agree with Lin Zhen's idea. He frowned and warned: "Your Highness, if we use bamboo ladders to attack the city, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses. The troops and horses we brought cannot withstand such losses.
.How about ordering the craftsmen in the army to hurry up and make ladders, and wait a few more days before attacking the city?"
How could Lin Zhen wait a few more days? The day lilies would be cold by then.
"No need," Lin Zhen refused this cumbersome proposal and said in a deep voice, "Just go up the bamboo ladder! Today I will be the first to attack the city. After I kill the general, capture the flag and open the city gate, General Li will lead his troops to charge into the city.
,how?"
This idea is really appalling.
Even if Lin Zhen is really amazing in martial arts, it would be too scary to let her master go first to attack the city, and judging from her words, she still plans to go alone. What if something happens?
An accident occurred, what should I and the soldiers under my command do?
Li Mo's hands trembled slightly, trying to stop Lin Zhen's whimsical idea: "Why should your highness put yourself in danger? If you want to attack the city, the general will do it for you."
Lin really wanted to make a quick decision and defeat Zhuyue City as soon as possible. She couldn't let Li Mo lead his troops to attack. There was a huge disparity in strength between the two armies. She could attack the city, but if she really wanted Li Mo to go,
, isn’t that asking him to die? Li Mo feels sorry for the soldiers under his command, doesn’t she feel sorry for him? If one less person dies, then one less person dies.
Li Mo wanted to persuade again: "Your Highness..."
"General Li, don't you believe me?" Lin Zhen said with a confident smile on his face, "I will conquer this city today!"
