    In the dark wilderness outside the provincial capital, the standing Qinghe army camp was brightly lit.

    ?The soldiers in strong and sharp clothes had a guard at three steps and a sentry at five steps. At the same time, teams of patrolling soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the entire camp was heavily guarded.

    "You are really a bunch of idiots, aren't you clamoring for invincibility, why are you dumb now?!"

    In the spacious commander's tent, the ashen-faced commander-in-chief Zhang Dayuan was furious, and he cursed fiercely at the lieutenant general Luo Dagang and others.

    Deputy General Luo Dagang and other generals were ordered to lead 20,000 elite Qinghe troops to attack the provincial capital.

    After a day of fierce fighting, instead of capturing the provincial capital, he lost troops and generals, which made Marshal Zhang Dayuan very annoyed.

    He tried his best to let his trusted confidant Luo Dagang be in charge of the siege, just to establish his prestige in the Qinghe army, and at the same time win some opportunities for his confidantes to make meritorious deeds.

    It's a pity that although Luo Dagang and others yelled loudly, they were silver gun crayon heads, which looked useless, and the one-day attack did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but suffered heavy losses, which made people laugh.

    Luo Dagang and others lost the battle, and the face of the marshal Zhang Dayuan was also hot, because it was tantamount to hitting him in the face.

    "Commander, it's not that I'm not going to kill the enemy with all my strength, but that the defenders are too sharp, and they are all desperadoes"

    Lieutenant General Luo Dagang was scolded, like a wronged daughter-in-law, with a bitter face, trying to explain.

    "Don't make excuses for me! I don't want to hear it!"

    Lieutenant General Luo Dagang hadn't finished speaking when Marshal Zhang Dayuan waved his hand impatiently to interrupt.

    "I just want to ask you, can you take down the provincial capital? If you can't, I'll replace you!" Zhang Dayuan stared at Luo Dagang and said sharply.

    Luo Dagang is also very clear in his heart, if he is really removed this time, then he may not have a bright future in the future.

    "Marshal, I, Luo Dagang, have fought it out. I will personally lead people to attack the city tomorrow. If I can't take it down, I will live on!"

    Luo Dagang was also furious, knowing that he had no way out, so he could only grit his teeth and issue a military order.

    "Report to Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander Chen is asking to see you."

    At this moment, a guard soldier strode into the commander's tent, and after saluting with his fists crossed, he asked the deputy commander Chen Ru to see him.

    "Please come in, Deputy Marshal Chen."

    "No!"

    "What are you still doing in a daze, go back and rectify the soldiers and horses, and fight again tomorrow¡ª"

    Seeing that the deputy general Luo Dagang and others were still standing still, Zhang Dayuan waved his hand impatiently to let them leave.

    When Deputy Marshal Chen Ru stepped into the military tent, he saw Luo Dagang and others going out with sullen faces, so he didn't need to guess to know that they had been scolded.

    "Marshal, are you still angry?"

    Seeing the angry Zhang Dayuan sitting there, the deputy commander Chen Ru asked with a smile.

    "Brother Chen, don't laugh at me, what kind of useless battle did you say that this group of unworthy people fought, and lost troops and generals, can I not be angry?" Zhang Dayuan couldn't help sighing.

    Chen Ru said in relief: "Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. It's just a small defeat. Why get angry."

    After Zhang Dayuan invited Chen Ru to take a seat, he said solemnly: "The scouts report that the dynasty's conquest army is coming day and night. If the capital cannot be attacked for a long time, our Qinghe army is in danger of being attacked."

    "Don't worry, Marshal, I came here late at night to offer advice."

    Chen Ruduan sat on the chair, stroking his goatee beard, with an inscrutable look.

    "I said, brother Chen, don't be a fool. I don't know if there is a good way to defeat the enemy?"

    Zhang Dayuan's curiosity was aroused at once, like a drowning man grabbing a straw, eager to know what good strategy Chen Ru has.

    Seeing Zhang Dayuan's anxious appearance, Chen Ru couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart.

    After all, Zhang Dayuan wanted to take the credit for capturing the provincial capital by himself, so as to improve his personal prestige.

    At the military meeting, he, the deputy commander, and Xu Fu, the other deputy commander, were not easy to compete for, so they could only watch helplessly as Zhang Dayuan ordered his confidant generals to attack the city.

    Now the siege of the city is unfavorable, but Chen Ziang, his confidant general, unexpectedly learned of a tunnel leading to the city.

    In this way, it will not be easy for Marshal Zhang Dayuan to claim the credit for the siege.

    "Chen Zi'ang's department is responsible for sealing off the west of the city. They found a secret passage leading to the city in a village.??" Chen Ru said slowly.

    "Is this true?!"

    Zhang Dayuan is not a fool, he naturally knows what it means to have such a secret passage leading to the city.

    Chen Ru said firmly: "This secret tunnel was dug privately by the Shen family, a wealthy businessman in the city, and it can directly lead to Shen's residence. I have already sent Chen Ziang to personally lead people into the tunnel to check."

    Just now Zhang Dayuan was furious because of the failure of the siege, but now after hearing this, he immediately smiled.

    "God helped me too!"

    Excited Zhang Dayuan couldn't help standing up, pacing back and forth in the handsome tent, trying hard to digest this unexpected joy.

    Chen Ru, on the other hand, sipped his tea and looked calm while sitting on the Diaoyutai, because he knew very well in his heart that at noon tomorrow at the latest, their Qinghe army would be able to enter the city.

    After Zhang Dayuan excitedly paced back and forth in the handsome tent for a few times, he realized that he was too excited and lost his composure. He laughed and sat back down again.

    "Brother Chen, without delay, we must immediately adjust the deployment of the siege." Zhang Dayuan said.

    Chen Ru nodded, but did not speak, he was waiting for Zhang Dayuan's next words.

    "Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead an army of 50,000 to attack the city. You send elites into the city along the secret passage. We should cooperate from the inside and the outside, and the provincial capital will be destroyed."

    After hearing Zhang Dayuan's words, Chen Ru got a satisfactory answer, that is, he, Chen Ru, could also get a share of the credit for the siege.

    After Chen Ru and Zhang Dayuan discussed some cooperation details, Chen Ru left satisfied.

    And when he returned to his tent, Chen Ru was not idle, and Chen Ziang, the general who was about to be in charge of the ninth battalion, called to him.

    "The commander-in-chief asked me to organize troops to sneak into the city through the secret passage. Tomorrow, we should join forces to defeat the enemy. The secret passage was discovered by your ninth battalion, so I will entrust you with this task, and there is no room for loss."

    Chen Ru now looks more and more at Chen Ziang, because he thinks Chen Ziang is his lucky general.

    "Deputy Marshal, I will use the head of the enemy to prove to you that it is the wisest decision for you to choose our Ninth Battalion to carry out this mission."

    Chen Ziang won such a chance to make meritorious service, and he also flattered the deputy commander Chen Ru quietly.

    "Don't give me such a trick, you kid, go back and prepare well. If you miss, I won't spare you." Chen Ru scolded with a smile.

    "Then I will resign!"

    "Go."

    Seeing Chen Zi'ang striding away, Chen Ru showed a gratified smile. It is really his blessing to have such a strong man under his command.

    Chen Ziang didn't rest even after he went back. He selected a hundred elite veterans and those heavy prisoners in the camp to form a death squad.

    This death squad is led by Wang Hu, a thousand-man general, and his newly appointed hundred-man general, Li Tiechui, who are responsible for sneaking into the city. When the time comes, the inside and outside should cooperate to seize the city gate.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
