In the early hours of the morning, the person who was sent to scout the army outside Chengdu and contact the defenders of Chengdu came back. This is a man in his thirties from the middle of Sichuan. man of.

"Joining the army, his name is Wei Dun, he brought back the news of joining the army, and he has contacted the defenders of Chengdu City!" Xiang Zhuang took Wei Dun to report to Chen Xian.

Chen Xian looked at Wei Dun, sized him up, nodded and asked, "What's the situation with the soldiers outside Chengdu?"

Wei Dun'er knelt on the ground and replied: "Back to join the army, there are nearly 1 Qianjun outside Chengdu, of which [-] are soldiers who were captured or surrendered by our army. The senior officials of the Qianjun organized these people and gave them Some simple weapons and armor were distributed, and it is said that people were sent to practice them every day!"

"The other 5000 troops consist of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. The leader of the army is Nie Feihu. This Nie Feihu was previously the deputy general of the Governor's Mansion in Liangzhou. He is ruthless and scheming!"

After hearing this, Chen Xian became thoughtful. He paced around in the tent. After a while, he stopped and turned to several generals and said, "It seems that the army's attack on Sichuan and Sichuan was not planned carefully and for a long time. It was prepared, but improvised!"

General Huang Zhuang was puzzled, "Why do you say that about joining the army?"

The other generals and officials also looked at Chen Xian, wondering why he made such a judgment.

Chen Xian said: "This point can be deduced from several aspects: first, most of the troops who attacked our land in Sichuan and Shu this time were cavalry, and only a small number of infantry! Do we need so many cavalry in the land of Sichuan and Shu? Really speaking, the cavalry here is just a decoration, and it is of no help to attack the city. Our soldiers and people in Sichuan and Shu only need to guard the cities and passes. Three thousand infantry and [-] cavalry taking Sichuan and Shu is nothing but a dream!"

"It's a pity that this time, Sichuan and Sichuan have experienced several months of famine, with hundreds of thousands to millions of victims, and troops stationed in various places have also been transferred to maintain the safety of the disaster area and suppress the rebellion of the victims. At the same time, the food shortage also caused the garrison to be short of food, internally anxious and externally trapped, the people were panicked, and the military defense was also lax, which gave the army an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

"Especially those officials and guards who are greedy for life and fear of death. If it weren't for their weak will and greed for life and fear of death, how could the Gan army be so easily killed in the city of Chengdu?"

"If Qianguo has made long-term preparations, there must be a large number of infantry entering Sichuan and Sichuan this time!"

"Secondly, this Nie Feihu, he was the deputy general of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion before. This is a side general. His duties are the same as the new Liangzhou Governor Lu Shuang. He is to guard the border. Under normal circumstances, the Qianguo court will never Frontier generals will be used to go out to fight, although they are familiar with the terrain and conditions of the border, but their role in staying behind is even greater!"

"Also, many infantry should be mobilized to attack Shu, and they should be infantry who are familiar with mountain warfare, but this time most of them are cavalry, which is abnormal! We all know that most of the Qianguo garrisons in Liangzhou are infantry Mainly, there are fewer cavalry. This time so many cavalry are definitely not the Liangzhou garrison. I can be sure that there must be a dignitary from Qianguo who came to Liangzhou. I have an opportunity in Shu, so I decided to send troops to attack on the spur of the moment!"

After listening to Chen Xian's analysis, the generals around felt that many things that they didn't understand before became clear now.

General Xiang Zhuang asked doubtfully, "What important person in Qianguo needs to bring ten thousand fine cavalry guards when he travels?"

This is also where the other generals and officials feel very puzzled.

Chen Xian narrowed his eyes, "No other ministers have this qualification, unless they are the emperor or empress of the Qian Kingdom!"

The generals and officials of the Song Army gasped one after another, and General Huang Zhuang murmured, "The imperial conquest? Chen Canjun, we are doomed this time!"

General Xiang Zhuang immediately wept with a mournful face: "Yes, if the emperor of the Qian Kingdom comes, the follow-up army and food and supplies of the Qian Kingdom will continue to enter Sichuan, and our reinforcements are still gone. What should I do?"

Chen Xian stared at each other: "Look at all of you bears. Before the real war started, you were frightened. Are you still soldiers of the Song Dynasty? We have to take the imperial court's salary and military salary, so we have to replace the imperial court. Work hard, you should have known this when you took the relocation allowance!"

When Chen Xian said this, he looked at everyone's reactions, and his tone became calm, "Don't panic, everyone. Before a large-scale war starts, you have to make a lot of preparations. The army has no preparations before, and a sudden attack will definitely have insufficient stamina. The problem is, they don’t have the ability to attack the city on a large scale, at least not within a month or two, we just need to defend the city, they have nothing to do with us in a short time, two months is enough time for the imperial court to send troops to rescue!”

After hearing Chen Xian's words, the generals and officials calmed down a little.

General Xiang Zhun said again: "General, now that the Gan army is outside the city of Chengdu, how can our army enter the city? Moreover, the general always feels that entering the city of Chengdu is no different from waiting to die. It is better to stay outside and take a camera. move!"

Chen Xian asked Wei Dun: "How did Governor Liu make an agreement with you?"

Wei Dun said: "When it comes to joining the army, the governor said that the army's defenses are most relaxed at dawn. At that time, the general can lead the troops to the west gate. When the time comes, the city gate will open with fire as a signal. Join the army and lead the troops." Enter the city!"

"okay, I get it!"

Chen Xian said to the others: "Do you think it will be safe for us to stay outside now? Once the traces of our army are found by the Qianjun, the cavalry of the Qianjun will be dispatched quickly. Where can we run? Before we run to the surrounding area In the mountainous area, the dry cavalry will catch up and kill us like melons and vegetables!"

"Even if we escape into the mountains, what will these 600 people eat and drink? Can hunting a few wild animals feed so many people? By then, the Gan army will capture all the cities in Sichuan and implement the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness. You have to starve to death, freeze to death in the mountains!"

Chen Xian's words shattered all the hopes of the generals and officials. For now, he can only follow him to Chengdu City and wait for help.

Why did Chen Xian have to go to Chengdu?Because he knows his own ability, he is not good at leading troops to fight the enemy in field battles, his ability is all in defense, so if he wants to use this ability, he must have a stage to display it, and this stage has already appeared , that is Chengdu City!

Moreover, Chen Xian didn't think that even the best general of the Song Dynasty who was good at leading troops in battle could defeat the Gan army in the wild. Without an elite cavalry as their trump card, the Song army could only be passively beaten when fighting the Gan army in the wild.

"Okay, everyone, go down and rest for an hour. After an hour's rest, we will lead our troops to Chengdu City. We must arrive before dawn, so that we have enough time to enter the city!"

"promise!"

An hour later, the sleeping soldiers of the Song Army were woken up by the officers and academies. After gathering for some time, the more than 600 people marched towards Chengdu City under Chen Xian's order.

In order to minimize the danger, everyone was asked not to make a sound, not even a cough.

Fortunately, tonight is a clear starry night. Although the moon is westward, there are still stars and moonlight shining down, which provides some light for the marching Song army to identify the direction and road.

The scouts and guard posts of the dry army are not vegetarians. Although they were a bit late when they discovered Chen Xian's Song army, they still found that they were approaching the city of Chengdu.

The news quickly spread to the Qianjun camp.

"General, the guard sentry found a Song Army infantry of about 600 soldiers approaching Chengdu City, only about five or six miles away from the West City Gate!"

Nie Feihu turned over from the camp bed, "Has this Song army finally appeared? All 600 are infantry?"

"Correct!"

"How long will it take to reach the west gate?"

"Up to two quarters!"

A general next to him said: "General, we have enough time to send troops to defeat this Liu Song army. If we attack with cavalry, we can crush them with one charge!"

Nie Feihu came to the map with an oil lamp to check the terrain outside the west city gate. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Don't pay attention to them, just let the guard post watch them and let them enter the city!"

The general who spoke just now was a little anxious: "This is a military exploit delivered to your door, General!"

Nie Feihu raised his hand: "This battle achievement is not so easy to get! If the defenders in Chengdu hadn't been contacted in advance, would this Song army have the guts to approach Chengdu rashly? They must have come to Chengdu before dawn. Discuss with the defenders in the city. At that time, the defenders in the city should arrange to respond. The terrain outside the west gate is undulating, and the lights are dark. We don’t know where the soldiers are hiding. There is no need for us to take this risk for such a small amount of military exploits! "

"At the beginning, His Majesty's strategy for attacking Sichuan was to attract Shu troops from all over the country, and the more they came, the better. In this way, we don't have to attack each city and wait for most of the troops in Sichuan to concentrate in Chengdu. City, our army can win it in one battle, saving a lot of trouble!"

When the generals saw what Nie Feihu said, they all gave up the idea of ​​persuading them, and clasped their fists together and said: "Everything is done according to the general's order!"

Chen Xian led his soldiers and horses all the way to the west gate of Chengdu City unimpeded. After raising the torch and shaking it a few times, the gate opened, and the army quickly entered in order.

As the city gate was closed again, Chen Xian and the generals and soldiers under his command breathed a sigh of relief. It was so smooth that Chen Xian couldn't believe it. When people come to Chengdu, it is impossible for the army scouts not to find them, otherwise all the army scouts will be trash.

Chapter 995 Adjusting the Strategy

At dawn, Chen Xian, with the cooperation of the guarding generals in the city, found an open space to place the soldiers and let them build a camp. He brought a few soldiers to the Governor's Mansion to meet Liu Yu.

"The last general joined the army on the right march and Chen Xian paid his respects to the envoy!"

Chen Xian's official rank is only equivalent to a regiment leader. For Liu Yu, who is the military and political chief of a state, the rank is too low. Liu Yu has no impression of him, and it seems that he has never seen him.

Liu Yu observed Chen Xian for a while, seeing that Chen Xian's expression was calm and calm, and he showed no other emotions, so he couldn't help secretly praising him, saying, "Chen Canjun and the soldiers have worked hard along the way!"

"If you are loyal to the country, even if the battlefield is stained with blood, you will have no complaints or regrets, which makes your words serious!"
