Seoul was silent at night, and the lights in the city were already controlled, and they floated back and forth in the air twice, and nothing could be detected. The scouts of the Dongjiang Army had no choice but to return.

In the camp of the North Korean army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Adou, Chen Jisheng, Chen Qiyu, and Kim Zhengli sat around the sand table.

"The Yiren have arrows in their hands that can shoot down hot air balloons, and if they attack the city tomorrow, the hot air balloons will definitely not be easy to attack. Therefore, if you want to attack the city, you still need to use ground foot soldiers, and hot air balloons can only be used to assist. Chen Qiyue frowned and said.

In the previous battle with the Yiren Army in the coastal town, there was no hot air balloon, so in that seemingly short battle, the Dongjiang Army attacked the city with absolute strength, and in the end more than 2,000 soldiers were killed and wounded. Nearly 2,000 of them were killed in direct battle.

Chen Jisheng listened to Chen Qiyu's analysis, the muscles on his face kept beating, you must know that in that battle, the dead and wounded were all his pioneer battalion. As a direct result of that battle, more than half of his vanguard battalion was lost, and there were now less than 1,500 men left.

If the vanguard battalion continues to break down the city gates, it is very likely that this time it will be the result of the total annihilation of the army. Such a result was obviously unacceptable to Chen Jisheng, and he pouted and said: "If this is the case, the pioneer battalion will not participate in the battle this time." ”

Fighting a war has always been Chen Jisheng's favorite, and it is also the purpose of the pioneer battalion. Only with military exploits can they have a chance to get ahead, and their lives are not so important to them. But if you fight everyone out, what's the use of making more feats?

Chen Jisheng obviously still knows this truth, so although he is very painful about those combat exploits at the moment, for the sake of the pioneer battalion, he must give up.

Chen Qiyue gave Chen Jisheng an appreciative look, and he didn't say much. Only after nodding at Chen Jisheng to express his understanding did he look at Jin Zhengli and said: "Jin Shuai, the general army will be able to lead the army to arrive tomorrow, and how to attack the city at that time still needs to be decided by the general army." Tonight, we just have to take care of Seoul and not let the people inside escape. ”

Kim Jong-ri nodded and said, "General Qiyu, rest assured, Seoul has long been surrounded by us, and we will be the first to know about any trouble." ”

Chen Qiyu nodded and said with a smile: "This is the best, then there will be Lao Jinshuai tonight." We have come thousands of miles away, and the soldiers need to repair well tonight, and I hope that General Haihan is it. ”

Jin Zhengli laughed: "I know, I know, General Qi Yu doesn't need to be so polite." ”

Subsequently, Adou, Chen Jisheng, and Chen Qiyu left one after another. Soon only Kim Jong-ri was left alone in the big tent, and he looked at the empty big tent and felt a little lost in his heart.

Although Korea was not a big country, it could compete with the Japanese in its glory, but now it was so downtrod that the capital was occupied by rebels, and the king of Joseon took refuge in Pyongyang. Now it is even more necessary to rely on the Dongjiang Army to save itself, if it is not for Mao Wenlong to lead the army to help this time, it is estimated that the Korean state will be subverted.

"Alas......"

Kim Jong-ri suddenly let out a sigh! Looking at Seoul, which was still shrouded in darkness, my heart was filled with emotion. Success or failure lies in tomorrow's battle, and he hopes that Mao Wenlong's arrival can resolve the current crisis.

The night passed quietly, and the night was very peaceful, the gates of Seoul were closed, and nothing unusual appeared. Kim Jong-ri stayed up all night, personally supervising, and when the first rays of the morning sun shone on the earth, his hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.

"Prepare the horse, Ben Shuai is going to patrol." Kim Jong-ri casually ate some dry food, and then ordered his subordinates to prepare horses.

"Yes, Dashuai!" The guards replied.

The war horse was quickly prepared, and Kim Jong-ri didn't say a word, but after getting dressed up, he brought his weapons and turned over on his horse to go on patrol. Just at this time, Chen Qiyu arrived, and when he saw him, he asked with a smile: "Where is Jin Shuai going?" ”

Kim Jong-ri sat on horseback and responded with a smile: "Why don't you go and inspect General Qiyu together?" ”

Chen Qiyue nodded suddenly: "I see, then let's go." ”

Jin Zhengli immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare horses for Chen Qiyu, and the two marched together and went to inspect together.

In the early morning, Seoul seems to be rejuvenated, and the walls are densely packed with soldiers defending the city. Chen Qiyue pointed to the defenders wearing the same uniforms as Kim Jong-ri's subordinates and said: "Seoul is the capital of North Korea, didn't Kim Shuai put some eyeliner in it when he left?" ”

Kim Jong-ri smiled wryly when he heard this, nodded and said, "Naturally, there is eyeliner, but there has never been any news." It is estimated that they are all more auspicious. ”

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and he was already very disdainful of Kim Jong-ri's eyeliner buried in the city. Compared with the secret guard battalion of the Dongjiang Army, it is obvious that Kim Jong-ri's eyeliner is really nothing?

Smiling, Chen Qi changed the topic more and more: "Then Jin Shuai, do you know how many defenders there are in Seoul at present?" ”

Kim Jong-ri said with a wry smile: "I don't know yet, Seoul is well defended, and now there are Yi people to help, I'm afraid we will be in trouble this time." ”

Chen Qiyue pursed his lips, the old guy didn't see Seoul yet. As long as the Dongjiang army arrives, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

Jin Zhengli didn't know what to ask, and Chen Qiyue was not interested in asking any more, and the two rode forward in silence. After returning from the inspection, the sky was already bright, and when he returned to the big tent, Jin Zhengli found that Chen Jisheng and Adou were already there.

"Jin Shuai came back from the inspection, did he find anything wrong?" Chen Jisheng asked with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with that, General Jisheng, haven't they arrived yet?" Kim Jong-ri is most concerned about this.

"Jin Shuai doesn't need to worry, there have been Tanma arriving just now, saying that the army is ten miles away." Chen Jisheng chuckled.

"Great, then let's hurry up and meet the general soldier." Kim Jong-ri was overjoyed.

"No need, the chief soldier has never liked these false courtesies. And now is the time to fight, so there is no need for that. Chen Jisheng said with a smile.

Jin Zhengli still wanted to hold on, but Chen Qiyue opened his mouth to answer: "What Brother Jisheng said is true, Jin Shuai doesn't have to spend his mind on such a thing, and the general soldier will not be happy." ”

Hearing this, Kim Jong-ri gave up. Then everyone sat down and waited for the arrival of Mao Wenlong's army.

In the suburbs ten miles away from Seoul, 20,000 Dongjiang troops marched forward mightily, and among the Chinese army, Mao Wenlong rode a high-headed horse slowly. Haoda and Haoxiao, the two personal guards, accompanied by one left and one right.

At this moment, in Mao Wenlong's sight, the shadow of Seoul can already be faintly seen. You can't see the smoke of war or hear any killings, it's peaceful.
