Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 811 Jilin Mountain Area
Xunyang City.

Huang Zhengming, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and General Wu stood side by side on the city wall, looking at the Chinese Imperial Army dispatching troops in the distance, frowning, and suddenly feeling uneasy in their hearts.

As Cao Ming and General Zhou Yuan led their troops to leave and fight at the North Gate and South Gate, there were only [-] troops left outside the city.

Xuanyuan Lingyu led her people outside the city gate and began to dig trenches, preparing to suppress the enemy and prevent them from escaping from the city.

"General Wu, what are they digging for? Are there gold and silver treasures in the square outside the city?"

Huang Zhengming said puzzledly.

"I don't know! I, the general, have been on the battlefield for many years and have dug tunnels. However, that is also to stop the cavalry from charging. However, we don't have many cavalry. What are they guarding against?"

General Wu shook his head.

"General Wu can't understand it, and I can't even understand it. However, I always have an ominous feeling."

Huang Zhengming said with a grimace.

"My general feels the same way. I always feel that they will not dig tunnels for no reason. But if they do this, it looks like they are defending. Don't they attack the city?"

General Wu said in confusion.

"If we don't attack the city, then what's the reason?"

Huang Zhengming began to think.

"General General, soldiers from the Chinese Empire have surrounded the North Gate. There are about more than 1 people. They are setting up camp and digging tunnels. I wonder what they want to do?"

A deputy will report.

"I understand. You must closely monitor the movements of the Chinese Empire soldiers to prevent them from sneak attacks."

General Wu's face looked a little solemn.

Soon, the general guarding the south gate came to report that the Chinese Empire soldiers surrounded the south gate of Xunyang City and were digging holes. This made General Wu depressed.

There is always an inexplicable fear towards the unknown, especially when looking at the different enemies in front of him, which makes General Wu unclear.

What’s even more unclear is that if we want to besiege Xunyang City, shouldn’t we also besiege the west gate?

However, they left Ximen alone and had no intention of attacking Ximen.

"Dig a hole, dig a hole? What kind of hole are you digging? Are you going to bury us in a hole?"

Huang Zhengming muttered with a grimace.

"I'm not sure. Aren't pits dug to bury people? They can't bury themselves, so they must be burying us!"

General Wu joked.

"General Wu, didn't they surround the west gate? If we can't stop them then, can we just retreat from the west gate?"

Huang Zhengming said.

"Retreat? Do you think we can still retreat now? The soldiers of the Chinese Empire are all cavalry and have long-range attack weapons. Can we escape? The west gate is the bigger hole they dug for us!"

General Wu saw Ximen's trap at a glance.

"That's right! They are all cavalry, and we have very few horses. We probably won't be able to escape even if we try! It seems we can only fight to the death!"

Huang Zhengming suddenly realized.

"Go down and tell the soldiers who are guarding the city to cheer up. From now on, you will eat, drink and have sex on the city tower to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks." General Wu gave the order loudly to several messengers.

The Chinese Empire mobilized its troops and generals, causing General Wu and other soldiers defending the city to become nervous.

Although the west gate was wide open, because Zheng Yuanjie wanted to defend Xunyang City, the gate of the west gate was also closed to prevent the Chinese Empire from sneak attacks.

When Zheng Yuanjie got the news, he couldn't sit still anymore. What made him even more confused was that that bitch Yuan Zixi was missing.

If she escaped, but who has the ability to rescue her from the palace?

Did Yuan Zixi escape on her own?Or did someone help her escape?Or did someone come to rescue her?
Zheng Yuanjie still hasn't figured it out yet. Although he asked the Imperial Guard to lead the investigation, no clues were found.

However, one thing is certain, that is, Yuan Zixi escaped because all her valuable gold, silver and jewelry were taken away.

Zheng Yuanjie estimated that Yuan Zixi at least had a large box of gold and silver jewelry. How could he want to transport such a large box away without leaving any clues?

What makes people even more angry is that at noon today, the Chinese Empire blocked the three gates of Xunyang City and dug pits outside, apparently preparing to bury corpses.

Due to the powerful firearms of the Chinese Empire, General Wu, who was defending the city, could not hold on and did not dare to leave the city to compete with the Chinese Empire.

Of course, if General Wu sends troops out of the city, it will be like a chicken flying egg and it will not have the slightest effect.

Seeing that the Chinese Empire was about to attack the city, Zheng Yuanjie asked the Prime Minister to send people again to urge the armies of the Zhou Dynasty and the Yue Kingdom in an attempt to use the human sea tactic to reverse the situation of the war.

General Ji, the leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was a famous young general in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was unparalleled in bravery, wisdom and bravery. After receiving the urging letter, it was worthy of Xunyang City to be in danger, so he ordered to speed up the march.

At the same time, he ordered his deputy general, General Xiong, to lead [-] vanguard troops to quickly reinforce Xunyang City, and he and General Su of Yue State led an army to follow closely behind.

General Xiong led [-] cavalry, took the initiative to break away from the large army, and rushed forward without stopping.

……

On the other side, Lu Hao led the second main force of the Empire's Central Army. After a day and two nights of running, they passed through the Xunfeng dense forest and arrived at the legendary Jilin Mountain area.

Compared with the high mountains to the east, the altitude here in Jilin Mountain Area is already very low, only about 500 to 1000 meters.

The terrain here is basically hilly, which is very suitable for cavalry charges, and the dense forests here are very suitable for hiding your whereabouts and ambush.

Perhaps in order to strengthen the economic and trade exchanges between Zheng and Yue, Jilin Mountain District built a very spacious avenue in this hilly area, enough to accommodate five or six carriages traveling in parallel.

However, there are gently sloping highlands on both sides, which is most suitable for ambush on both sides of the road, and then ambush below.

This is also the reason why Lu Hao chose this place.

Of course, Lu Hao knew very well that if the 30-strong army were to march, it would probably be dozens of miles or more apart from the front and rear, so in this ambush battle, the enemy needed to be cut into several sections and swallowed slowly.

With Lu Hao's super perception, a 150-kilometer radius is under his surveillance. Therefore, it is not difficult to arrange troops.

"Notify, rest where you are, and let all the generals come over for a meeting."

Lu Hao led the army and started military deployment as soon as they arrived in Jilin Mountain Area.

After a while, more than a dozen generals gathered around.

"Soldiers, welcome to the Jilin Mountains. This is a main road from the State of Yue to the State of Zheng. As you can see, there are gentle slopes of hills on both sides, which are suitable for establishing a cross-fire network and are also very suitable for fighting. ambush."

Lu Hao looked around, pointed at the terrain on the mountain, and said with a smile.

The other generals were also seasoned veterans. After looking around, they all felt that this was a good ambush location.
