Chapter 66 066 [The world says I am in love with Qingyun]

In history books, night attacks on enemy camps are not uncommon.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Duan Zuozhang naturally had a lot of experience in this area. After hearing Lu Chen's suggestion, he did not give an immediate reply.

Night attack is a double-edged sword. If used properly and successfully break the camp, the harvest will be extremely rich, and it may even change the situation of the war.However, once the enemy commander detects it in advance and sets up an ambush, not only will one of our own elites be lost in vain, but it will also cause a serious blow to the morale of the army.

According to common sense, the Guangling Army had a difficult victory in defending the city today. Next, it should recharge its batteries to consolidate the city's defense. Risking a night attack is a questionable decision.

Lu Chen had expected this, and his expression was gentle but firm: "General Duan, fellow captains, I would like to ask you a question."

Everyone nodded.

Lu Chen said: "Throughout the ages, there have been countless battles to defend the city, and there are many deeds of famous generals. If defending the city means holding fast, why do those generals not block the city gates with stones? Instead, they often break out because of fighting for the city gates. A brutal fight?"

"Blocking the city gate, how do you get out?" a school captain answered.

Lu Chen said unhurriedly: "Since you want to hold on to the city, why go out? Can't you just wait for the enemy to retreat and then move the stones behind the city gate?"

This is an issue that is easily overlooked.

Maybe everyone does it, so I followed suit.

The captains looked thoughtful, and Duan Zuozhang spoke at this moment: "It's more important to have more city gates than to have few, and it's more important to open them than to close them. Since there are many city gates and they should be opened, as soon as they can find a convenient place to go, they will send out troops to attack them. At night, they will be cut. Their camp makes it impossible for them to rest day and night, so naturally they dare not set up a stronghold close to the city. It must also be a containment strategy to always make them work while I rest."

Lu Chen's eyes moved slightly. He had almost no free time since he came to this world, and naturally he had never read military books. But strangely, this passage seemed familiar, as if there were similar fragments in his memory. It must have belonged to the original owner. experience.

Upon seeing this, Duan Zuozhang explained: "This is a quote from the military book "City Defending Record" written by our predecessors, which can answer your question. If we block the city gate, our army can only defend the city wall and passively engage in battle, which is equivalent to trapping ourselves in Death, this is a taboo for military strategists. Brother Lu, please continue."

Lu Chen nodded, sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then said: "Today's battle did not severely damage the enemy's strength. If the enemy's commander can make proper adjustments, he can completely turn the soldiers' fear into anger. What happened to the north this time? With such a large formation, failure to capture Guangling will mean all previous efforts have been wasted, so General Duan’s judgment is very accurate. The next step will not be a stalemate between the two armies, but a more ferocious and crazy offensive from the enemy."

"I believe you can see that the person who is responsible for the main attack today is an old soldier from Jing Dynasty. This shows the determination of the puppet Yan and Jing Dynasty senior officials to capture Guangling. This is why I think we should try a night attack. We cannot remain passive. If you are being beaten, you must actively look for opportunities, and if the enemy's morale is temporarily unstable, you can take advantage of this to attack the camp directly."

Lu Chen's tone was calm, but his eyes gradually became sharper.

The captain who had directly persuaded Lu Chen to join the army was named Liu Tongzhao. At this time, he said very cautiously: "The enemy's strength is close to 2, and they are all people who can recruit and fight. If our army sends a small group of elites to attack at night, , I’m afraid it will be difficult to have an effect. But there are only 4000 defenders in the city, and there have been casualties in the past two days..."

Lu Chen understood what he was saying and said calmly: "In fact, there is no need to use the city's defenders."

This sentence made everyone slightly stunned.

Duan Zuozhang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to use the masters sent by various families?"

Lu Chen nodded and said: "Yes. If it is a frontal military battle, this reserve army composed of rough masters is far inferior to the Guangling Army. However, this battle is a surprise attack at night, which requires higher personal bravery and does not require We have received long-term training. We can cause a large number of casualties in a short period of time and trigger panic in the enemy camp. The most critical point is that even if we fail, it will not affect the foundation of the city defense."

These words are quite reasonable. After all, for Jiang Hu Cao Mang, it is very difficult to enforce orders and prohibitions, but murder and arson are easy to do.

Lin Xi, who was sitting next to him, quietly glared at Lu Chen while no one was paying attention.

Duan Zuozhang pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Lu Ganban is right. Tonight is a very good opportunity and it is worth taking the risk."

Lu Chen took advantage of the situation and said: "There are thousands of people in the reserve army. A few days ago, Xianguan asked his home guard Li Chengen to screen and select 500 people who are skilled, experienced in fighting and good at riding. Wait until dawn, that is, in the middle of the day When the people were most sleepy, the lower official led them out of the city from the north gate, and then ran to the enemy's west camp as fast as possible, setting fire and killing people all the way through the camp, fighting out from the northwest, and then returning through the west gate of Guangling. .”

The school captains shook their heads repeatedly and said, "How can we let Lu Gan do this for us?"

Duan Zuozhang coughed twice, and everyone fell silent. His eyes looking at Lu Shen became gentler.

Of course, there was no need for Lu Chen to take risks. As long as Guangling could hold on safely, his accumulated achievements during this period would surely be rewarded handsomely.

Not to mention his contribution in defending the city in the past few days, just the fact that he led the people of the Weaving Department to uproot the Beiyan spy was enough to attract attention in the court, and might even attract the attention of the emperor.

Lu Chen knew what he was thinking and said sincerely: "The risk of this trip is not small. General Duan and the captains have the heavy responsibility of defending the city, so it is really not appropriate to take risks. The subordinates only know the basics of military matters. In the next battle to defend the city, The role they can play is very limited. Furthermore, these men were organized by the official himself and are relatively familiar with their situation. If the official does not personally take them out of the city to attack the camp, it may be difficult to inspire the blood in their hearts. "

This is the proper meaning of the title. Duan Zuozhang and the captains cannot leave their posts without permission. Without a leader to boost morale, it will be difficult for this night attack to be effective.

It doesn't really matter how good Lu Chen is in martial arts. The key is that he must set an example for those reckless masters.

His tone was very plain and his reasons were very practical, but the young generals were quite moved after hearing this.

Duan Zuozhang took a deep breath and then said: "Liu Tongzhao."

"The end is here!"

"You personally go to the arsenal, take out all the light armor in stock, and hand it over to Lu Ganban's men. In addition, if they need to choose weapons, they can also go directly to the arsenal to find them." "Follow the order!"

Duan Zuozhang turned to look at Lu Chen and said seriously: "Come back alive and I will take credit for you."

Lu Chen stood up and said: "I will take your orders!"

After a while, Lu Chen and Lin Xi left the tower and walked into the city.

"Why go?"

Walking in the bright afternoon sunshine, Lin Xi asked as if talking to himself.

Lu Chen moved his arms slightly and said softly: "Because I am not the kind of cautious person, and I will even make risky moves at certain moments."

"Huh? This answer surprises me a little."

"Sister, what do you think I should say?"

"I thought you would say that now everyone in the city is united and everyone is contributing to protecting this city. As a part of it, of course you will not flinch. In addition, you arrested so many people in the Procuratorate and destroyed their plans. The city’s plan is to use a fire to extinguish the enemy’s morale today. Once the city is broken, you will definitely die.”

"Senior sister missed something."

"You said."

"If the night attack is successful, it will be a very solid military achievement and will be of great benefit to myself."

"..."

Lu Chen turned to look at Lin Xi's side face and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xi sighed: "You are too honest."

Lu Chen blinked and said, "It's better to be honest in front of senior sister."

This sentence touched Lin Xi, and she couldn't help but think of her hidden identity.

In fact, she didn't mean to hide it deliberately, but when Lu Chen asked, the two had just met.

Lin Xi didn't know who Lu Chen was, so of course she wouldn't reveal her secret, and she didn't have a suitable chance to talk about it later.

Following this incident, she recalled what Lu Chen said to Duan Zuozhang and others in the city tower just now, and she said with a smile but not a smile: "Junior brother, what do you think of those reckless masters?"

Lu Chen's mind was so sharp that he immediately sensed a hint of danger and said solemnly: "Although I don't have much contact with the Green Forest tycoons, I also know that they are loyal and courageous, and they are all well-known heroes."

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "I just praised you for your honesty."

"This is the truth, straight from the heart, absolutely true."

Lu Chen said seriously, with a look of determination on his face.

Lin Xi raised his hand to stroke the black hair beside his ear and hummed softly.

"Senior sister asked me why I wanted to go. The answer was both complicated and simple." Lu Chen continued the previous topic and said calmly: "I know that this world is very difficult. Everyone has to do things for the sake of justice rather than about themselves, but I am not like that. I think. There are risks and rewards in attacking the camp at night. I hope to relieve the pressure on the city defense. I hope to do something for the safety of my own family. I hope to do my best like those who stood up in the city. I also hope to gain credit and fame. Li Wan."

He looked up at the blue sky and said leisurely: "Are these reasons contradictory to each other?"

Lin Xi said softly: "It's not contradictory."

She felt as if she knew the young man around her better.

So she said calmly but firmly: "I want to go tonight too."

Lu Chen agreed and smiled again: "Thank you, senior sister, for taking care of me. As the saying goes, if you have too many debts, you don't have to worry; if you have too many lice, you don't need to itch. I will slowly repay my kindness to senior sister in the future."

"Lazy." Lin Xi said angrily and funnyly, "Then I will remember it."

Lu Chen nodded solemnly and said softly: "I can do it too."
