Chapter 132
“General.”
On the way, Zhuo Zilin met the team of spies who had returned to report military information.
The spy captain reported the situation to him
“Well, how did you find out?”Zhuo Zilin dismounted and handed the horse to the guards next to him.
The spy captain held his hands and said:”We found that those officers and soldiers, as well as Mr. Zhao’s guards, were indeed with the people of Jackdaw Town.”
“They guarded the mountain pass, built fortifications, and prepared a large amount of defensive materials.”
“It seems that they are preparing to resist us. Zhuo
Zilin frowned after hearing what the spy captain said.
“It seems they know that we are going to destroy them.”
“It seems so”
“Did you see any symptoms they had?”
The spy captain was stunned, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said:”General, according to our observation, they are all in good condition, they don’t look like they are infected.”
“oh? Zhuo
Zilin nodded and said,”I understand. You can go back and report to General Zhao.””
“yes.”
The spy captain led his team and left Zhuo Zilin’s forward army to find Zhao Chong.
A general next to Zhuo Zilin said:”General, it seems that they are preparing to resist.”
“Um”
“General, with our strength, it is more than enough to take them down. We are just worried about the terrain, and we don’t know what the terrain is like over there? Zhuo
Zilin thought for a while and said:”When we arrive, don’t rush to attack. Let’s understand the situation first.””
“OK”
They are not in a hurry to attack. After all, the other side is well prepared for defense. If they attack rashly, they will suffer losses.
Moreover, they are also frightened along the way. After all, this place is too narrow. It was extremely inconvenient for soldiers and horses to pass.
Soon after, they arrived near the mountain pass.
Zhuo Zilin asked the army to stop and start stationed in place, and sent people to understand the surrounding situation, hoping to reconnoiter the terrain here. On the other side, the officers and soldiers on the mountain pass also discovered the Tiefeng Army below the mountain pass.
Liu Tiancheng observed it and said to Guo Kai’en beside him:”This is General Zhuo, General Zhao’s deputy general. We have always been very resourceful. But be careful.
Guard captain Guo Kaien nodded and said:”General Liu is right.””
“Nothing to worry about. Master Li suddenly laughed and said:”No matter how smart he is, it will not be easy for them to attack Jackdaw Town.””
“Um.”
Thinking about the location of Jackdaw Town, it is simply a majestic pass. It is impossible for them to deal with it.
Soon after, Zhuo Zilin’s reconnaissance of the mountain pass ended, and a serious problem was placed before him. before
“It is indeed steep. The only road leading to Jackdaw Town is the mountain pass.”
“However, the passage of the mountain pass is only more than one foot wide, with cliffs nearly 100 meters high on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.”
“As long as they block the mountain pass, it will be difficult for us to even move forward.”
Zhuo Zilin sighed.
“General, how can we complete our mission?”
In this situation, it is difficult for them to complete the mission, and it also makes these generals a little worried.
“It is obviously impossible to set up a ladder, and the siege equipment will not work. The only direction in which we can attack is the mountain gate of the mountain pass, but I am afraid that in order to prevent us from attacking, they will block the mountain gate with huge rocks.”
“Therefore, the mountain gate may not be able to be breached”
“You report the matter to General Zhao first, and I will take a look at it here and think of a solution.”
So, the mountain pass in front of us can only be conquered by outsmarts, not by force.
“clear.”
So, while Zhuo Zilin was preparing, he sent someone to contact the other party first.
“People on the other side, listen, we are from the Tiefeng Army. You should know how powerful we are. We hope that you will not make fearless resistance and surrender obediently. We will treat you well, otherwise, once we are captured, we will kill you. Leave no trace behind”
“Now, we will give you an hour to think about it. After an hour, if there is no reply, we will assume that you choose to resist to the end. After saying that
, the soldier turned around and left.
After the soldier left, Master Li, Guo Kaien and Liu Tiancheng gathered together and began to discuss
“What do you think of what they said?”Guo Kaien was the first to ask.
“I don’t think it’s believable at all.”Master Li shook his head
“Yes, I think if you believe it, you are a fool.”Liu Tiancheng also frowned. He knew the ambition and temper of the city lord very well.
This time, they learned the truth about the plague, and it was even more impossible for them to go back alive.
Once they surrender, they will only die more. quick
“So what do we do?”Guo Kaien asked
“Needless to say, if we resist to the end, I don’t believe they can attack.”Master Li snorted coldly, not having the slightest fondness for Tie Fengjun.
“All right.”Guo Kai’en thought about it and felt that it was the same. Apart from this road, there was no other choice.
So, an hour later, when the soldier who sent the message came over again, he heard someone above say:”Get out of here! Yes, we will not surrender. If you have the ability, fight us!”
“That is, although we don’t have as many people as you, we are more than enough to defend this place.”
With Yamaguchi to rely on, their confidence was even greater, and they didn’t take these guys seriously at all.
The soldier didn’t even have a chance to speak. After being sprayed with blood on his head, he said bitterly:”Okay, You asked for it, don’t regret it. Upon hearing this
, Liu Tiancheng took out his bow and arrow and said,”Come on, say one more thing.””
However, the other party ran away in despair.
Apparently, he was also afraid that Liu Tiancheng would shoot him.
“Okay, we have completely broken with them. For our safety, we have to prepare for battle quickly.”
“OK.”
Although they have the advantage of the terrain of the mountain pass, they are facing the Tiefeng Army. This army is good at fighting and has rich experience.
And they are just young children on the battlefield for the first time.
And they refused to surrender. After the news reached Zhuo Zilin, Zhuo Zilin did not feel surprised. Instead, he smiled and said:”It seems that we have another war.”
“Hahaha.”The surrounding generals also burst out laughing when they heard his words, and they didn’t seem to take the mountain pass in front of them seriously at all.
“Order the soldiers to start making pots for cooking”
“As for the war, we’ll talk about it later.”
“yes.”
They started to get busy and had no intention of rushing to attack. This also made the defenders of Yamaguchi secretly relieved.
