The morning was foggy and very cold.

In the study, the general was still reading documents.

"General, the time has come. A servant reminded him, Li Chengguang listened, sighed and got up: "Clean up this house, I'll come when I go." ”

Immediately, there was a housekeeper who urged the servants to sweep the floor and clear the table, and the housekeeper personally cleaned up the case files scattered on the table one by one, which could not be faked.

When he got outside, there were soldiers and henchmen who followed, and Li Chengguang stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation?"

"General, the eight thousand young men in the county have already been recruited. A henchman replied.

Li Chengguang got up early, he felt uneasy, after hearing this, his heart was calmer, and since he knew that the Chu army was about to attack, he issued an order to forcibly recruit 8,000 strong men.

These 8,000 people, let them take up arms and prepare to resist the Chu army, this behavior naturally made the people panic and resentful, but Li Chengguang did not feel wrong.

The county guard has just been dismissed for his crimes, and there is no new Taishou for a while, and he is the chief official of the county, and when such a great enemy is about to fight, it is natural to use the military rule to rule him.

Not only did they recruit strong men, but they also sealed all the grain and grass in the warehouse for military use.

At this time, he arrived at the front hall, and his henchmen raised the curtain and let the general in.

I went in, I saw that I went in, I took a seat, the room was quiet, and the sky was not yet bright at this time, and the soldiers lit the lamp and silently withdrew.

At this moment, outside the hall, the lieutenants had already arrived, standing in a row, watching in unison.

After a while, I heard Li Chengguang say: "Call them all in!"

Everyone rushed in and shouted in unison: "Say hello to the military gate!"

"Get up!" Li Chengguang had a square face and a solemn expression.

In front of him was the information that was constantly coming back in the past few days.

He has been sending people to plant eyeliner in the opposite prefecture and county, so that he can know the situation at any time, so that he can defend against the attack of the Chu army in time.

In terms of war analysis, Li Chengguang still has some ability.

However, Chu Jun did not make any moves for several days, and Li Chengguang couldn't guess Wang Hongyi's intentions.

Although he couldn't guess what Wang Hongyi's plan was, Li Chengguang knew that once the Chu army crossed the river and arrived on land, and the Wu army's naval division was defeated, the next step for the Chu army would be to attack the city and plunder the land and go straight to Jinling.

As the defender of Yuanchang County, he will definitely have a battle with the Chu army, and there are elite soldiers and new troops in Yuanchang County, a total of 20,000 people, he sent someone to send the news back to Jinling, if it drags on for a while, it is not impossible to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, for Chu Jun's delay in moving, Li Chengguang always felt uneasy.

Li Chengguang was uneasy, and most of the generals under him also looked uneasy.

Li Chengguang looked at the hazy morning color outside, his face was a little pale, and said, "The Chu army didn't rush in, what do you think?"

If the Chu army relied on its strength and momentum to advance resolutely, there was still hope for this, but now it was steady and steady, but it immediately made his heart heavy.

The generals looked at each other, no one spoke, and the words were objective laws, the soldiers were fearless, and the officials were afraid of death.

How many people who have reached high positions in history can die of generosity?

And even if they are martyred, it depends on who it is, if the assistant monarch is wise and benevolent, the country is thriving, and the old feelings are remembered, even if they die on the battlefield, their wives and children can still enjoy glory after their deaths.

Even if the country is said to be thin, but it is orthodox, then martyrdom is indispensable for glory.

But now the situation is neither, and this time to see the truth, not to mention it for the time being, since the usurpation, Wei Yue's temper has been hot for a while, and Wu Di does have a lot of opposition, Wei Yue is already very suspicious, short-tempered, and even more angry, and has killed many subordinates.

There were a few old people who were still following twenty people, and such a thing undoubtedly chilled their hearts, so no one spoke for a while.

But it's always cold, and it's not good, I will think for a while, take a step forward and say: "Junmen, the enemy army gathers, attack and don't attack, go and don't go, or just play tricks, follow the plan to seize Jingzhou, repair the plank road in the open, and secretly Chen Cang, right?"

"Nonsense, at this time and at that time, it is difficult to achieve reunification in the south, but it will not succeed in hitting the Central Plains?" What kind of opinion is this, Li Chengguang said scoldingly.

This will respond: "Yes, the last general is foolish." ”

Retreated.

Seeing that the generals were cold again, Li Chengguang said: "The puppet king can have his current power, which should not be underestimated...... The wire report said that 200,000 troops were gathered, I think 200,000 may not be there, but there will always be 100,000, and the sailors may not be able to stop it at that time...... There are only 20,000 defenders in my county, and there are only 8,000, and there are only 30,000, and 30,000 and 100,000 are against the enemy, which is still less, so it is better to choose one more person to go out to fight the people in the city, these people are all in the city, and they must have arrived on the battlefield, in order to protect the lives of the small family, these people will also fight bravely to kill the enemy, you see...... How's that going to work?"

Li Chengguang looked solemn and said slowly, but as soon as his words came out, the hall was silent for a while.

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Chengguang put his eyes on his henchman Zhou Yunlong: "What do you think?"

"Junmen, there is a sentence that I don't know if to say or not......" Zhou Yunlong hesitated for a moment, and slowly spoke: "The Chu army gathered 200,000, all of them were elite, and the people in the city were forced to go to the battlefield, but without training, how could they confront the Chu army of 200,000?"

The other generals looked up at Zhou Yunlong, but they didn't expect that Zhou Yunlongju would say everything in their hearts.

Before Zhou Yunlong's words fell, Li Chengguang's face became gloomy, and the deputy general saw that the situation was not right, and said violently: "What nonsense are you talking about? Since ancient times, for generals, to defend the city and the land, although they are still glorious in death, the people in the county, not to mention the people of the Wu Dynasty, loyal to the Son of Heaven, guarding the city and defending the family, it is their responsibility, foreign enemies invaded, they do not swear to defend the family and the country to the death and steal their lives, what is this said?"

"Don't be busy, tell him to continue!" Li Chengguang had a murderous intention in his heart, and said with a smile: "The listener is clear!"

Zhou Yunlong, is a general under Li Chengguang's account, in the military camp is known for strict military discipline, and magnanimity, very loved, although not Li Chengguang's descendant, but because of this, he has been a general here as early as the last general, so the foundation is very deep, and he is very popular.

Saying this at this time can be regarded as disturbing the morale of the army.

However, in the current analysis, there is no big mistake, so he pressed the fire down, and Li Chengguang asked him to say that the killing machine in his heart was already awe-inspiring, and as long as he crossed the line, he could be killed.

Zhou Yunlong is not a Ben person, seeing the situation, but he knew that something was wrong, his tone changed, and he said: "The eight thousand recruits in the city are already out of battle, if the people are allowed to play, I am afraid that it will only increase the casualties, but it will disrupt the battle line. ”

As soon as this tone changed, he retreated, and simply talked about tactical problems, which was beyond the guilt.

"What? General Zhou has repeatedly said such frustrating words, what is the purpose?" Li Chengguang looked at it with a gloomy expression: "At the moment of the war, the army is disturbed, could it be that General Zhou is dissatisfied with General Ben's decision?" or ...... Want to take refuge in the Chu army?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yunlong's face turned pale.

"The last general has no such intention!" he said, standing up and bowing.

"Hmph, then don't say more, go down and prepare for war!" Li Chengguang said coldly, if he hadn't retreated from what he said just now, Li Chengguang would have been killed, and now this person can't be killed, so he will be severely reprimanded and ordered to retreat.

Then he ordered that, in accordance with his countermeasures, he began to forcibly conscript the people and prepare to defend against the enemy.

Almost at the same time, the two armies on the river were already at war.

The Wu Army's water division had been prepared for a long time, and after sending troops to send generals, it had an encounter with the Chu army's water division on the river.

On the flagship of the Chu army, Lu Suhai stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes blazing, staring ahead.

I saw the sun through the mist, faintly shouting and killing like a tide.

In the mist, it was faintly visible that the enemy and our warships were fighting each other, and countless soldiers nervously and skillfully poured their crossbows down, and they had their own firearms, making a "pop" sound.

Suddenly, the surging crowd on the deck rang out with a scream, and this scream of killing almost overwhelmed the sound of the rushing water of the river.

The two armies were unmoved, fighting each other, constantly falling with arrows, stones, fire, and rain, and pale red blood appeared on the deck and on the river, constantly emerging along the current.

"Boom, boom!" This is the explosion sound of the Tao Lei and the hand fire thunder, which is different from the first time I encountered it last time, this time it is obvious that I have some experience, and I am no longer panicked.

Strictly speaking, the power of the torlay and the hand fire mine is not too great, but after the bombing, a large number of flesh and blood limbs still fly out, and then fall down, and after the explosion, there is a large hole in the deck, full of fireworks, interlaced corpses and corpses piled up, crackling fireworks and flames.

The enemy generals gathered on the left and right to encourage the command, gave orders to put out the fire, and did not retreat for a while.

The fog gradually dissipated, Lu Suhai was a little younger, his expression was resolute and unmoving, looking at the situation of the melee on the river, there was no change in color, but he sighed and said: "Wu Dishui is brave and brave, it seems that Wei Yue's foundation in the army has not been completely worn out!"

Behind Lu Suhai, there was a group of captains, as well as hundreds of elite guards, all of whom were between twenty and twenty-five years old, burly, with fierce killing intent in their eyes, and at first glance, they were elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield many times.

However, the war was difficult to end for a while, but Lu Suhai was not in a hurry, just stood silently, looking at the situation and seeming to be waiting for something to happen.

"Metropolitan Governor......" Someone suddenly walked up to him and whispered.

Lu Suhai turned his head to look, but it was the thirteen divisions and thousands of households with the army.

"Lord Shang, is there any news?"

"Dadu Governor, there have already been surrenders in the water division, and just now they secretly used the flag to spread the news, and they will act immediately. The thousand households said.

Lu Suhai nodded, and said with emotion: "That's good, Wang Shanghongyun!"

After speaking, the two of them stood and looked at the battlefield in the distance, and fell silent for a while.
