Chapter 124 New Declaration of War

That evening, Gu Changfeng really had no time to rekindle his relationship with Shen Mingjue, because the Hu people issued a new declaration of war against them.

Inside the tent.

General Shen looked exhausted. He and Lieutenant General Xue had trained the troops for almost a whole day, but few of them could use three arrows skillfully on horseback, and the latest shields were not made. Only 30,000 of the 300,000 troops were ready, and the rest had to use old ones. The consequences had been reflected in the previous battles, and no one wanted to die in vain, so morale was low and depressed. Even General Shen, who was always brave, felt powerless.

Lieutenant General Xue placed the new declaration of war on the table. Xue Zhong picked it up and saw the date, and he got angry.

"What? The fight is tomorrow? Why is it so sudden? Didn't they issue a declaration of war three days in advance?" Xue Zhong gnashed with hatred. He naturally knew that the preparations before the war were not sufficient.

Gu Changfeng's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the life-saving cards in his backpack. He knew that the danger index he was about to face was extremely high.

"All of you follow me." General Shen finally spoke, and a group of people followed him to the battlefield.

The military camp was stationed in an inner position, and the battlefield was very close to the city that the Hu people had recently fought for, leaving the Da Qi army with an open space, while the Hu people were standing on a high building, which gave them a unique advantage.

"Is it the same last time as now?" Gu Changfeng asked with a frown.

Deputy General Xue shook his head. "Last time, both sides were on a flat road, so the Hu people used this kind of gun."

Xue Zhong was indignant: "That's why the Hu people are so hateful. They knew that the people inside were from our Great Qi and we didn't dare to use fire, so they were so rampant. Even if they occupied the city before, they chose an open area to fight like us. Who knows why they changed their nature this time!"

Shen Mingjue arrived late. He had just got off his horse and was still a little unsteady when he walked.

"Father, I'm late." After bowing to General Shen, he stood aside.

"We must break into the city. If fire attack doesn't work, use sticks to break it open and give the vanguard new shields," said Gu Changfeng.

General Shen said: "That's what I mean, but the question is how to break the city?"

Shen Mingjue interrupted at this time: "I just went to the village near the military camp and found a 'treasure'. When worn on armor, the flames will not burn, and it will not be unbearable because of the fire. I have asked the soldiers to start preparing it, and it will be used tomorrow."

Deputy General Xue said: "Ming Jue did a great job. In general, in siege battles, the enemy is most skilled in using rockets and oil. In this way, even if they pour oil on us, we can hold out until the city gates are wide open."

"The fire oil is really terrible, so at the very beginning, we might as well stop them from using it. I have arranged a dozen archers to keep a close eye on the people on the city wall. Once someone takes out a can of fire oil, they will shoot that person's hand and try to avoid casualties at the source." said General Shen.

Gu Changfeng said: "In this way, the city can be breached, and it will be much easier to enter. In my opinion, the position chosen by the Hu people this time is actually unfavorable. With the tower, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if they use guns, the damage they caused to our army last time will not be as great, but it is more likely to fail."

Deputy General Xue said, "Yes, even the most basic throwing of stones is something only we can do, they can't do it. When the city is breached, we will follow the carts in, and this time we will use smaller stones to avoid damaging the houses where the people live."

In this way, there is hope of victory in tomorrow's battle.

But why would the usually smart Hu people choose to defend the city? Is it because they don't have enough people?

"What do you think? The Hu people chose to defend the city this time. Could it be that the Scythians have already withdrawn?" Gu Changfeng said, suddenly having an idea.
