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, the housekeeper urged the servant to sweep the floor and clear the table, and the housekeeper personally cleaned up the Wen Qi Tan rolls scattered on the table one by one, which were not as good as fake hands.

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. ", replied one of the henchmen.

Li Chengguang got up early, he felt uneasy, and when he heard this, his heart was calmer, and he knew that the Chu army would be attacked as soon as he touched it, so 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 common people panic and resentful, but Li Chengguang actually didn't feel wrong.

The county guard had just been dismissed for his crimes, and there was no new Taishou for a while, and he was the chief officer of the county. Not only did he levy strong men, but he also sealed the grain and grass in the treasury and the gold department for military use.

At this time, he went to the front hall and raised the curtain to let the general in.

Ben went in, only to see that he went in, sat down, the room was quiet, at this time the sky was not yet bright, the soldiers lit the lamp and silently withdrew.

At this moment, outside the hall, the lieutenants had already arrived, standing in a stick, 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 with a solemn face.

In front of him was the inexhaustible information that had been transmitted 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 elucidation of the war, Li Chengguang still has some skills.

However, the Chu army did not make any moves for several days, "Wang Hongyi's intentions, Li Chengguang couldn't guess a little.

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 was to attack the city and plunder the land and go straight to Jinling.

As the defender of Yuanchang County, which must be passed, he will definitely have a battle with the Chu army "There are elite soldiers in Yuanchang County together with the new army, 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, the Chu army has not moved for a long time," 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, "The Chu army did not rush forward, what are their opinions?"

The generals looked at each other, no one spoke, and the objective law of the words "soldiers can be fearless, but officials must be afraid of death."

How many people who have reached high positions in history can die if they can be generous?

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

Even if the country's strength is declining, it is orthodox, and 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 day by day, Wu Di simply has a lot of veto voices, Wei Yue after killing several groups of people, is already very suspicious, impetuous temper, even more angry, has killed many subordinates.

There were a few old people who were still with twenty people, and such a thing undoubtedly made them feel cold, so there was no one to say for a while.

But it's always cold, and it's not allowed, I will think for a while, and take a step forward: "The military gate, the enemy army gathers, attack and don't attack, go and don't go, or just play tricks, follow the plan of usurping Jingzhou that day, repair the plank road in the open, and secretly Chen Cang, right?", "Nonsense, this time and that time, it is difficult to achieve unification in the south, but it will not succeed in hitting the Central Plains?", what is this opinion, Li Chengguang reprimanded.

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

Seeing that the generals were cold again, Li Chengguang said: "It is impossible for the puppet king to have the current power............ The line reported 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 our county, 8,000 levies, only 30,000, 30,000 and 100,000 enemies, or less, it is better to live in the city, each household, and choose one more person to go out to fight, these people are all in the city, presumably to the battlefield, in order to save their lives, these people will also fight bravely to kill the enemy, you see...... How about this countermeasure?", Li Chengguang's expression was solemn and slow, but as soon as his words came out, the hall was silent for a while.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Chengguang set 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 match the 200,000 Chu army?", the other generals looked up at Zhou Yunlong, and 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 drank violently: "What nonsense? Since ancient times, for generals, self-defense of the city and land, although they are still glorious in death, the people in the county are all 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 invade, they do not swear to defend the family and the country and steal their lives, what is this?"

"Don't be busy, tell him to go down!", Li Chengguang had a murderous intention in his heart, and smiled: "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 tomorrow department, but because this person has been here as a general as early as the last general, so the foundation is very deep, and he is very popular, Li Chengguang is still mainly wooing on weekdays, but when he heard this today, he was immediately furious.

At this time, these words can be regarded as disturbing the morale of the army.

However, at present, there is no big mistake, so he pressed the fire down, and Li Chengguang made him feel awe-inspiring in his heart, 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 it was wrong, his tone changed, and he said, "The eight thousand recruits in the city are already in arrears to fight, if you let the common people play, I am afraid it will only increase the casualties, but it will dismantle the battle line, please learn from the army." ”

As soon as this tone changed, he retreated, and the innocence tactics were a problem, which was beyond the guilt.

"What is the purpose of General Zhou's discouraged words again and again?", Li Chengguang looked at it with a gloomy face: "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 hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Hmph, then don't say more, go down and prepare for war!" Li Chengguang was cold, 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.

Immediately ordered that, in accordance with his countermeasures, he began to forcibly recruit the common 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 aspects of fire, making a "pop" sound.

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

The two armies were unmoved, and as soon as they fought each other, there was an inexhaustible rain of arrows, stones, fire, and fire, and on the deck and on the river, there was a pale red blood that flowed inexhaustibly.

"Boom, boom!" This is the explosion of the taurle and the hand fire mine, which is different from the previous order of encountering it one time at a time, this time it is obvious that there is some experience, and it is no longer panicked.

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

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 face was resolute and unmoving, looking at the situation of the melee on the river, there was no change in color, just sighed: "Wu Chishui is brave, it seems that Wei Yue's foundation in the army has not been completely lost!", behind Lu Suhai, there is a group of captains, and there are hundreds of elite guards, all of whom are between twenty and twenty-five years old, burly, with fierce killing intent in their eyes, and they look like elite soldiers who have 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 seemed to be expecting something to happen.

"The Metropolitan Governor ......", someone suddenly walked to his side and whispered abandonment.

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. "It's a thousand households.

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

At the end, the two of them stood, looking at the battlefield in the distance, and fell silent for a while.
