Chapter 337: Breaking the City
After Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang had a long talk all night, they finally came up with a plan to break into the city.
However, if we really want to successfully implement this plan.
Jiang Chen and the others still need to prepare a lot of things!
After resting for half a day, Jiang Chen called Huo Xiang, Xiong Kehui, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu over.
After all the generals gathered together, Jiang Chen called in Li Yuanyi and Yuan Hao as well.
For a moment, all the officers and soldiers from the northern border who were accompanying the army north gathered together in the central army tent.
Looking at the confused generals, Jiang Chen spoke slowly.
"I summoned you here today to discuss how to break into the city."
"According to the intelligence , there are 50,000 Northern Ming imperial guards in Chunning City."
"In addition, there are 30,000 city guards!"
"But if we only have these troops, Chunning City won't be a problem."
"But I accidentally learned that the Zhu family has secretly hidden 40,000 secret guards who are no weaker than our soldiers."
"These 40,000 people won't have much of an impact."
"But once our army launches a full-scale offensive against Chunning City."
"I'm afraid it will have a huge impact on our army, so I discussed this with my military advisor last night."
"We have come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy. Next, let the military advisor talk to you about it."
After saying that, Jiang Chen nodded to Gongsun Liang beside him.
After receiving Jiang Chen's signal, Gongsun Liang slowly walked out and bowed to the generals.
"Generals, Liang and the lord have discussed this."
"We have decided to divide our army into four divisions, each led by General Xiong Kehui, Xiang Huo, Du Mingyu, and Han Zhong."
"Launch an offensive against the four gates of Chunning City respectively."
"While the four generals led their troops to launch the offensive, General Yuan Hao led five thousand musketeers."
"We will enter Chunning City through the secret passage in batches at night when the defense of Chunning City is less strong."
"When the time is right, have the musketeers in the city attract the attention of most of the enemies."
"In this way, the Beiming defenders at the four city gates will be thrown into disarray."
"The four generals will cooperate with the musketeers in the city to launch an attack on the four city gates at the same time."
"If everything goes well, we may be able to capture Chunning City in just one night."
After saying this, Gongsun Liang fell silent and looked at the generals in the camp.
After listening to Gongsun Liang's plan, Huo Xiang and others began to ponder.
After simulating Gongsun Liang's strategy in their minds, they all realized it.
If one wants to capture Chunning City, Gongsun Liang's strategy is probably the only feasible one.
Thinking of this, Huo Xiangxian stood up and spoke to Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang.
"My lord, military advisor, I agree with this plan."
After seeing Huo Xiang express his attitude, Xiong Kehui, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu also stood up and spoke in unison.
"I agree with what the military advisor said. My lord, please give the order!"
Seeing that no general stood up to oppose Gongsun Liang's plan, Jiang Chen nodded.
"Since you all agree to this plan, let's do it according to it!"
As Jiang Chen spoke, he raised his hand and gave orders to Huo Xiang and the other three.
"Xiang Huo, Xiong Kehui, Han Zhong, Du Mingyu!"
"The four of you will immediately follow the military advisor's plan and each lead 50,000 soldiers."
"Launch an attack on the four gates of Chunning City."
"Remember, we must hold back the Northern Ming defenders at the same time."
"Give Yuan Hao and the musketeers a chance to pass through the secret passage at night!"
Following Jiang Chen's order, Huo Xiang and the other three hurriedly half-knelt on the ground and bowed to Jiang Chen to receive his orders.
"My lord, please rest assured that we will complete the mission!"
…
Soon, according to Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang's plan.
Huo Xiang, Xiong Kehui, Du Mingyu and Han Zhong each led an army of 50,000.
They surrounded the east gate, west gate, south gate and north gate of Chunning City respectively.
Seeing the northern army suddenly moving, the commander of the Northern Ming Imperial Army, Zhao Hetong, quickly reported the situation to Bai Ze.
After receiving the news, Bai Ze did not dare to delay at all and hurried to the imperial study.
At this time in the imperial study, Zhu Gaosui, the great-grandfather of the Zhu family, was sitting cross-legged on the dragon throne.
He closed his eyes tightly, practicing the techniques to increase the internal energy in his body.
After reaching the peak of Hua Jin like Zhu Gaosui and Jiang Chen, all martial artists.
It is necessary to slowly transform the true Qi in the body into Gang Qi , so as to condense the void into reality!
When all the true Qi in their bodies is transformed into Gang Qi, they can break through the transformation stage and reach the level of acquired master!
And now Zhu Gaosui has already stepped half a foot into the realm of the acquired master.
But he was already very old, and the blood and energy in his body was not enough for him to break through to the level of a post-natal master.
As a result, Zhu Gaosui remained at the peak of the Hua Jin realm for several years and still did not make a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but secretly hate Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen had not disguised himself as Chen Yaowen, the young master of Yunwu Villa, and sneaked into Chunning City, he would have stolen the two Bodhi seeds that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Zhu family.
Then maybe Zhu Gaosui has already successfully entered the realm of acquired master with the help of Bodhi seeds!
Just when Zhu Gaosui was secretly angry about Jiang Chen stealing the Bodhi seeds, Bai Ze rushed into the imperial study.
After bowing respectfully to Zhu Gaosui, Bai Ze spoke loudly.
"Zhu Gaozu, it's bad, the northern army has begun to attack Chunning City!"
"Please send out the hidden power in your hands to help me!"
Hearing Bai Ze's anxious tone, Zhu Gaosui just smiled faintly.
"Don't panic. I have already asked the commanders of the four guards to gather in the imperial city."
"Go out to the ancestral temple later and take the token I gave you earlier."
"Give the token in your hand to the four of them, and you can mobilize the secret guards."
After saying this, Zhu Gaosui closed his eyes again and continued speaking to Bai Ze.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, then leave!"
"I still have to continue practicing my skills. If anything happens, the Four Guards will help you resolve it!"
As Zhu Gaosui finished speaking, Bai Ze was pushed out of the imperial study by an invisible force of energy.
Watching the door of the imperial study slowly close, Bai Ze shook his head helplessly.
After taking out the golden token, Bai Ze hurried to the ancestral temple.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhu Qiyu, wearing a gray linen robe, sweeping the ancestral temple with a broom.
When he saw Bai Ze coming in, Zhu Qiyu just raised his head and glanced at him with a dull look.
Then he lowered his head and continued to clean the ancestral hall quietly.
Looking at Zhu Qiyu like this, Bai Ze felt deeply saddened.
