Chapter 259: I will use you in the first battle, and I will win with you
The soldiers nodded one after another, not daring to disobey.
They all understand that it is necessary to get the necessary sleep before a big war. After all, no one knows what will happen when the war breaks out.
But they waited until noon.
All the generals gathered at the door of Chen Changan's tent, but no one dared to go in.
Because Chen Changan said yesterday that you will be executed immediately after you go in!
There was no woman here, and Chen Changan did not waste his energy. It was already so late!
Yue Shan was as anxious as an angry lion, pacing back and forth anxiously: "Lao Ma, you are the personal guard of the Prince Consort, go in and ask!"
Lao Ma’s mission is to protect Chen Changan, and other things have nothing to do with him.
"What if the young master gets angry and kills me?"
Liu Baizhong shook his head and said bitterly, "It's still not too late to set off now. If we can't arrive on time, we will be disobeying the order."
"Don't mention it when the time comes. If the emperor gets angry, 30,000 of us will die!"
"We are not afraid of death, but this way of dying is too frustrating!"
The other generals all nodded, feeling somewhat resentful.
I thought that by following Chen Changan I would be able to shed blood in the territory of Da Chu, but now look, what the hell is this?
"Old Ma, just go in!"
"You are not a soldier. Without a military order, the Prince Consort will not kill you!"
"If the prince consort really does it, we will plead for you!"
All the generals were talking at once, and Lao Ma shook his head and sighed.
I could only walk into Chen Changan's tent. I thought Chen Changan was asleep, but I saw him reading a small book.
Old Ma was stunned: "Master, are you...deliberately disobeying my order?"
"What else?" Chen Changan scratched his ears and shook his head, saying, "Let the generals come in. These people will cause trouble for me if they have nothing to do."
Lao Ma turned around and opened the curtain of the tent.
All the generals saw Chen Changan, gritted their teeth and knelt down in front of him.
"My Lord, the three armies are ready and can set off at any time!"
"Please give the order, my Lord!"
"I will wait till death!"
The general was very enthusiastic about asking for a fight, but Chen Changan just smiled and said, "Okay, tell the three armies to advance five miles tonight and complete the encirclement of Yanzhou with other troops."
When all the generals heard Chen Changan's words, they were stunned.
The emperor originally wanted us to rush to Yanzhou today and then surround us.
You let us go five miles...
That's the time it takes to fart, okay?
"My Lord, did I hear it wrong?" Yue Shan asked tremblingly.
"Five miles ahead, you heard it right."
Chen Changan repeated the order in a serious tone: "The Red Flower Society blocked us at Blue Moon Lake a few days ago. I was afraid they would use the same trick again, so I moved forward at a snail's pace."
"Send out scouts in the direction of Yanzhou to see if there is a woman there. Be sure to get in touch with her."
Chen Changan was mainly worried about Liu Ruge.
Yue Shan didn't care about the woman and said seriously, "My Lord, do you know what you are doing?"
"The Emperor has asked us to return to the capital as soon as possible. Lord Xiao has personally ordered an attack on Yanzhou tonight. Aren't you kidding me with the lives of the soldiers?"
Liu Baizhong quickly pulled Yue Shan, who turned around and angrily asked, "Why are you pulling me?"
"Even if the Prince Consort gets angry because of this, I still dare to say it!"
All the generals nodded, waiting for Chen Changan to give a reply.
Chen Changan sighed: "Yue Shan, you are so stubborn!"
"Haven't you heard that a general may not obey the emperor's orders when he is away from home? Besides, it was me who delayed the march because of my sleep. Even if the emperor punishes me, he will only think that the general is incompetent. What does it have to do with you?"
"The deaths of soldiers at Blue Moon Lake are still fresh in my mind. How can I watch my brothers die?"
Yue Shan and others were shocked. Chen Changan actually had such a plan?
He disregarded the emperor's order and wanted to take on the responsibility himself!
The generals were all surprised, and Chen Changan finally told them everything: "Since ancient times, the emperor's orders have been too idealistic, and generals who go out to fight are often influenced by them."
"Let me ask you, if the Red Flower Society was really easy to defeat, would it be necessary for Lord Xiao to dispatch 200,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
"Yanzhou is the Red Flower Society's last line of defense. They have been operating here for many years. Can they take it down so easily?"
The generals were silent, with guilty looks on their faces.
They also knew that Yanzhou was not so easy to conquer. Not only would the battle last for a long time, but the number of casualties in the battle might be reduced by 70 to 80 percent.
Liu Baizhong suddenly realized: "Yue Shan, I said that the Prince Consort must have his own considerations. He doesn't want his people to die!"
"To fight a war, you need to use your brain!"
Yue Shan followed Chen Changan's example and raised his middle finger to Liu Baizhong.
Stop talking fucking bullshit, it's just what you said.
Li Huaiyu concentrated and said, "My Lord, Lord Xiao's order is to besiege Yanzhou. We are so slow. Are we disobeying military orders? This is no joke."
Chen Changan shook his head and laughed: "Do you remember what Lord Xiao said at the end?"
"Besiege, siege, siege!"
Liu Baizhong read out the order: "Three sieges were used in a row, expressing the urgency of the tone."
"That's one aspect, but Sir Xiao has another meaning."
Chen Changan smiled and said, "Master Xiao doesn't dare to disobey the emperor's order. He gave me an order that the important thing is to besiege. If we besiege without attacking, how can it be considered as disobeying military orders?"
Li Huaiyu clapped his hands in delight: "So the mechanism is here, beautiful!"
"We just need to push forward and launch a fierce attack on the other three gates. The north gate is calm, but the calmer the place, the more danger it is filled with!"
"Oh my god, that's a great idea!"
Seeing that everything had been explained clearly, Chen Changan yawned.
"Follow my orders and move camp. Remember, walk five miles a day and you will reach the border of Yanzhou in ten days."
"March quickly, tell the soldiers not to be afraid of hardship, and hold on to the enemy!"
The generals all smiled bitterly.
Marching five miles a day is really a forced march.
How can you bite when you haven’t even seen the enemy?
Under Chen Changan's command, the 30,000-strong army broke camp in an orderly manner. This task was simply too arduous for them.
Not only do I have time to cook a good meal, I can even take a bath. Life is so comfortable.
It was precisely because Chen Changan did not arrive at the north gate on time that all attacks were postponed. However, Xiao Zhennan did not issue any orders, which proved that Chen Changan's speculation was correct.
It took Chen Changan ten days to travel a short distance of fifty miles.
We had delayed it for ten days, but now we can't delay it any longer.
The city wall of Yanzhou was very strong, with red flags all over the top of the city walls. Chen Changan looked towards the city wall but did not see the woman.
Attacks were launched at the other three gates. The soldiers rushed forward like a tide, but were knocked down by rolling logs and rocks. Corpses piled up like a mountain under the city wall.
Yue Shan was so angry that he said, "My Lord, I will fight you!"
Just as General Ji was about to speak, Chen Changan nodded and said, "Master Yue, I will personally beat the drum to cheer you on."
"I'll use you in the first battle, and I'll win with you!"
Yue Shan was inexplicably excited and roared: "My Lord, just wait and see!"
"Boys, protect yourselves with shields and armor, and prepare for a strong attack!"
