The Invincible Sixth Prince

"Build a camp?"

Qiu Shanjun of Luyi Prefecture was the first to receive the latest news from Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng ordered his men to build large camps on the north and south sides of Lou Chong.

He could understand why a large camp was built in the north of Lou Chong, as it was probably to keep an eye on the direction of the gorge.

But why did Yun Zheng build a camp to the north of Lou Chong?

It’s forty miles south of Lou Chong, almost at the foot of the mountain over there!

The camp was built there, was it to prevent them from attacking from the direction of Qingyi?

impossible!

No matter how stupid Yun Zheng is, he can't be this stupid.

Instead of building a large camp there, it would be better to send people to guard the path from Qingyi to Lou Chong.

Why waste this energy?

Since Yun Zheng is doing this, he must have a purpose!

Akiyama-kun really couldn't figure it out, so he looked at his aide beside him.

This is the staff he relies on most.

He hoped that this person could see Yun Zheng's purpose in building a large camp south of Lou Chong.

Facing Akiyama-kun's gaze, the staff member smiled bitterly in his heart.

He couldn't see Yun Zheng's purpose!

Unlike Qiu Shanjun, he attaches great importance to Yun Zheng, the world's number one general.

How bad can a man who can be called the best general in the world be?

For such a person, the use of troops would definitely be unpredictable.

If you try to guess his intentions, you may end up falling into a trap without realizing it.

If they could see through his purpose so easily, Yun Zheng's title of the world's number one general would be worthless.

After a long while, the staff suggested: "No matter how Yun Zheng moves, we should remain unchanged in the face of all changes! Reinforcements from all over the country are still being mobilized, so we should focus on defending now!"

They had received accurate information that the enemy had a large number of cavalry.

At present, they are already short of troops, and if they attack rashly, they will definitely be ambushed by the enemy cavalry.

At this time, the best strategy is to defend.

Qiu Shanjun frowned and asked again: "How many young and strong people have been recruited?"

“Nearly thirty thousand!”

The staff member replied: "However, the combat power of these 30,000 people..."

"It doesn't matter how much fighting power they have."

Akiyama interrupted his staff and said, "We just need them to help defend the city! Order them to hurry up and forge weapons, make arrows, and carry stones to the city wall!"

There is no need to ask about the fighting capacity of these 30,000 people.

What can 30,000 soldiers who don’t even have armor or proper weapons do?

What he needed to do was to let these 30,000 people defend the city.

If the enemy attacks, let these 30,000 people hold on first.

When the enemy's strength is almost exhausted, their elite troops will go out of the city to pursue the enemy.

At this moment, a guard rushed in and said, "Your Highness, the army has reported that Yi Zhiwu's troops have started fighting with my troops!"

"what?"

Qiu Shanjun's face suddenly fell, "What happened? Why did they fight?"

The 7,000 reinforcements led by Yi Zhiwu arrived two days ago.

He also knew that Yi Jiwu was ordered by the great king.

Euljimu's sister was the prince's concubine.

He knew that Yi Zhiwu would definitely make things difficult for him, but he didn't expect that Yi Zhiwu would take action so quickly.

Damn Yi Zhiwu!

Doesn't he even consider the overall situation?

Do you really think that with the support of the great prince, and now that you have lost many soldiers and generals, you can't do anything to him?

"Your Highness, it's about the uneven distribution of rations."

The guard replied, "The soldiers of Euljimu's army said that our soldiers had more rations than theirs, so they went to the quartermaster to make trouble. Later, the trouble became too intense and a fight broke out..."

"asshole!"

Qiu Shanjun cursed angrily and growled through gritted teeth: "Prepare the horses!"

Why is the rations distributed unevenly?

It was obvious that Yi Zhiwu deliberately caused trouble!

Yi Zhiwu is trying to intimidate him!

I really don’t know if that old guy is getting senile or not!

Knowing that Yi Jiwu was Wang Chi's confidant, he still let Yi Jiwu lead his troops to support him.

He even suspected that Yi Zhiwu was here to seize his military power!

He now has to use Yi Zhiwu, but also has to be on guard against Yi Zhiwu seizing his military power.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

If he was really pushed into a corner, he would kill Yi Jiwu, annex Yi Jiwu's troops, and then lead his troops to surrender!

When the time comes, let’s see who suffers more, him or Wang Chi.

As he was thinking about it, Akiyama-kun suddenly shuddered.

Damn!

How could I have such an idea?

I am the prince of the Li Dynasty, how can I surrender to a despicable villain like Yun Zheng?

Akiyama shook his head vigorously to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind and forced himself not to think about surrender.

……

Louchong City.

The troops led by Heasu and Pang Jinjiu have already arrived at Louchong.

The Blood Clothes Army's war horses, armor and other equipment were all sent to Lou Chong.

Arriving with them were five hundred fierce soldiers from Wang Qi's army.

These five hundred men were the vanguard battalion that Wang Qi had built based on the Blood-Cloaked Army. They were the most skilled of Wang Qi's heavy infantry.

The follow-up troops were still busy escorting food and fodder across the river.

There was no way around it. The pontoon bridge was only so wide and not very stable, so it had to be reinforced frequently, which slowed down the speed at which subsequent armies could transport food and supplies.

It is estimated that it will take several more days to escort all the food and supplies to Juncheng.

As they arrived, the sound of drums calling for troops to gather was heard in Lou Chong City.

When all the generals gathered, everyone followed the old rules and first discussed the situation and expressed their opinions.

As long as Yun Zheng did not issue a formal combat order, they could speak freely.

"Your Highness, how many garrisons are there in Luyi Prefecture now?"

"The real garrison should be around 15,000 people. As for the young and strong men who were forcibly conscripted, I don't know how many there are."

"Fifteen thousand troops are not too few! We are basically cavalry now. If we attack Luyi Prefecture by force, I'm afraid it will not be worth the effort!"

"We must fight for Luyi Prefecture. If we don't take it down, these 15,000 troops will threaten the army behind us at any time!"

"We have to fight, but the question is how? Even if we have explosives, it would be a waste to use cavalry to attack the city! I think we should find a way to divert some of the defenders of Luyi Prefecture and then launch a strong attack."

"It's easy to divert them. There definitely aren't many troops in Woyuan. If we sneak around Luyi Prefecture and pretend to attack Woyuan, Luyi Prefecture will definitely send troops to support us!"

"In fact, if Qingyi doesn't have many defenders, we can consider bypassing Luyi Prefecture and attacking Qingyi! Once Qingyi is lost, we can charge into Shangqing Road and then attack the south of Gyeonggi Province. By that time, the enemy will be in chaos..."

Everyone was discussing with each other.

Not to mention the generals of the Northern Army, even Heasu was influenced by Yun Zheng. Everyone believed that the casualties of attacking Luyi Prefecture would definitely be huge and it was not a wise move.

Even if Yun Zheng's personal guards were included, there would be less than 30,000 people here.

Even if they blew open the enemy's city gates or collapsed the city walls, their losses would certainly not be small if they just launched a strong attack.

At this moment, Yun Zheng suddenly spoke up: "At present, Qingyi's troops should not exceed 4,000. Originally, I wanted to build a large camp in the south to attract Qingyi to set up camp in a dangerous place. In the end, the enemy was not fooled..."
