Baidi City.

On the river, more than a dozen fighting ships have been equipped with trebuchets, and they are spreading out on three sides of Baidi City to attack. It is said that they are surrounded by three and one is missing. In fact, it is not necessary. Although this place is conducive to defense, there is no way to retreat.

It was just that Ji Shu only designated three attack directions in order to save some manpower and take turns to attack.

In the distance, on a mountainside on the shore, several people were drinking tea leisurely. From here, the entire battlefield could be clearly seen.

The bright sunshine shone on the mountain, casting a shadow. At this time, Pang Tong was hiding in the shade of the tree, holding a volume of wild books and reading fascinatedly. Yueying smashed a fruit and said.

"Senior brother, can you stop being lazy all the time? Help Ziyuan more when you have time."

ah?

Pang Tong, who was hit by the fruit in his arms, was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and said angrily.

"Come on, you and your wife work together and you can cut through gold, what do you have to do with me?"

Yueying snorted a few times, and there was a bit of female deceit in her eyes.

"I won't expose you because you are lazy on weekdays and deal with the errands assigned by your elder brother. But this time Ziyuan leads the army alone. If he fails to succeed, it will not look good when he returns. Please give me more snacks and tell me if you find any problems as soon as possible.

, I don’t think you have too many ideas!”

Yes, it’s true that the junior sister who got married was the one who threw the water away. The ancients sincerely did not deceive me!

Pang Tong gave Yueying a big roll of his eyes.

"Since you already know, you should know how much trouble he has gotten himself into. It's too late to be worried now."

The purpose of this expedition was naturally not to Yong'an County, but to the entire Shu Kingdom. Before the expedition, Ji Shu had to keep it secret. After the expedition, he would naturally have to tell the truth to the commanders Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Yueying.

At present, the process can only be said to have just taken the first step, and the Baidi City in front of us is just a small stumbling block.

Ji Shu still had 32,000 troops at his disposal, and the entire Shu Kingdom could mobilize an army of 100,000.

How to fight?

This is not only to defeat the Shu army, but also to capture most of Shu before Qin and Wei can react, making it a foregone conclusion.

The five of them discussed two plans, and they have been arguing over this for the past few days.

"Senior Brother~~Senior Brother~~"

Yueying sat next to Pang Tong and pushed her gently with one hand. Her coquettish look made people laugh, and Pang Tong shuddered.

"Stop, stop, stop! Got it, got it."

Yueying stuck out her tongue.

Ji Shu just laughed a few times and filled up the lady's teacup with the teapot.

Not long after the three of them finished speaking, a guard led Huo Yi to the edge. Two steps away, Huo Yi stood still and held his fists.

"Huo Yi is here under orders, but I don't know what the military advisor's orders are."

"Don't be nervous, sit down, sit down."

Huo Yi was still hesitant, so Ji Shu stood up and pulled him to sit on the empty seat next to him, then sat back and spoke.

"A few days ago, when the Habayashi Army attacked the city, a commander was hit by a stray arrow and died. Are you willing to transfer him?"

Huo Yi's heart moved. Although the battle when he was ambushed not long ago was very thrilling, he thought it was a credit to the military advisors for knowing Zhang Ren's movements.

The Yulin Army is the elite of the army, and it must be used to overcome difficulties. It may be more dangerous than under General Xu Sheng. However, Chu State only has three elite troops, and those who can serve among them are half a level above the generals of the same level.

, hone yourself a bit, and maybe you will be a general when you are transferred out again.

Find wealth in danger!

Huo Yi couldn't help but feel moved, and answered with clasped fists.

"Huo Yi obeys all the military advisor's orders."

"Okay, you go back and report to Xu Sheng first. After the handover is completed, report to the Yulin Army immediately. I will explain to Wei Yan."

"The last general takes orders."

The war had just begun, and Ji Shu did not dare to be careless about maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army, not to mention that Huo Yi was indeed a general worth training.

After sending Huo Yi away, Ji Shu discussed the movements of the Shu army with Pang Tong.

"Shi Yuan, what do you think Zhang Ren will do next?"

Pang Tong didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but when he thought about the promise he had just made to his junior sister, he couldn't help but put down the book and thought about it carefully.

Zhang Ren has only three choices now:

The first is to hold on to the county seat, and the delay of Baidi City is enough for the Shu Kingdom to respond and send reinforcements.

The second is to support Baidi City and wait for an opportunity to fight the Chu army. However, the Yong'an army failed in its last expedition to Jingzhou, and later joined many private soldiers from aristocratic families, new recruits, and the Chu army was an elite soldier who survived from the battles.

.Leaving the city to fight in the wilderness, Pang Tong doubted whether Zhang Ren had the courage and strength.

The third is to attack Yiling County, recapture the pass, and cut off the Chu army's land supply line.

"I guess Zhang Ren is going to be a coward in Yong'an City."

Hearing that Pang Tong also made such a judgment, Ji Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is best. What I'm most afraid of is that he goes to attack Yiling. Then according to common sense, I should take the opportunity to capture the county. If I capture Yong'an so quickly, if I attack Jiangzhou, Qin, and Wei again, I should

After thinking about it, I put pressure on the border. Then I don’t know how to continue this drama.”

At this time, a particularly loud collapse sound attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked around and saw that the towering tower on the west wall of Baidi City had collapsed. The stone fired by the trebuchet was about the size of a watermelon. Generally speaking, if the house was hit, it would only make a hole.

.

"Okay! Which sharpshooter is this? Let me check it out. If you find it, I will give you a roasted lamb as a reward."

Ji Shu laughed loudly when he saw it. He didn't care whether it was a multiple hit or just luck. He just asked the guard to pass on the reward.

Ji Shu looked at Yueying and asked.

"Madam, how many incendiary bombs do we have? They are very useful. Stock up on them."

Yueying tilted her head, thought for a while, and said.

"There are about seventy or eighty altars left."

"Isn't this enough? Let Tiangongyuan do more."

Pang Tong watched the two of them flirting with each other and rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, you really like using it. Please persuade your family to provide it to the court as soon as possible."

The Mohist giant is quite good-looking, but it doesn't matter to us!

Ji Shu glared at Pang Tong and said anxiously.

"What about my wealthy family? Is Yueying here? Don't talk nonsense!"

Pang Tongyi was stunned and said doubtfully.

"Aren't you from the Mo family?"

So that’s what you meant.

Ji Shu glared at Pang Tong and said angrily.
Chapter completed!
