Chapter 155 Everything is ready, just waiting for dark
Lu Jingchuan looked puzzled. "General Su means that we will take the initiative to launch an attack tomorrow?"
Su Yueqing shook her head, "Not tomorrow, but tonight."
The best time to attack is to strike while the iron is hot and when the enemy is least prepared.
Su Yueqing looked at the sun hanging in the sky and said, "City Lord Lu, you have worked hard today. Let's have lunch first."
Lu Jingchuan knew that Su Yueqing already had an idea in her mind and nodded.
After lunch, Su Yueqing touched her bloated stomach and said, "Okay, now that we're full, let's get down to business."
Lu Jingchuan looked at Su Yueqing seriously, waiting quietly for her to speak.
Jiang Biechen and others also looked at Su Yueqing, knowing that what she was going to talk about was about the war.
"The Dongli army has suffered two setbacks. I'm sure they will rest for a few days and will not attack the city in the next few days." Su Yueqing said.
Jiang Biechen and others nodded in agreement.
Every time the Dongli army came, they never gained any benefits.
"That's perfect. We can take a break these few days." Jiang Biechen said immediately.
Su Yueqing shook her head, "No, we can't wait that long."
There is a shortage of food in the city. Although there is food in her space, it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. The most fundamental solution is to completely defeat the Dongli army and drive it back.
"Qingqing, what you mean is that we should take the initiative to attack?" Jun Yuansheng thought for a while and said.
Su Yueqing gave her a praising look, "Smart."
"Take action tonight?" Jun Yuansheng asked again.
She thought about it and decided that if she wanted to launch an attack, tonight would be the best time.
The enemy had just fought a tough battle and suffered a setback, so they must be relaxing at this moment.
A sudden attack can achieve unexpected results.
Mu Chi cast an admiring look towards Jun Yuansheng. He agreed with what she said.
Jun Yuansheng felt a gaze coming from another direction and looked up to meet the gaze.
The two people looked at each other, and Jun Yuansheng felt his heart beating faster.
Su Yueqing didn't pay attention to these, patted Jun Yuansheng, and said: "Yuansheng is right, tonight is the best time to attack."
"So, before dark, organize the troops and horses and prepare for the attack."
"As for the number of troops," Su Yueqing looked at Lu Jingchuan, "Lord Lu, is 10,000 soldiers enough in the city?"
Lu Jingchuan nodded, "Enough. Dingzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the enemy has a large army of 10,000, we can still hold on for a few days."
Su Yueqing nodded, "That's good. In that case, the remaining 20,000 soldiers will follow me out of the city to attack the enemy."
"Okay." Lu Jingchuan said, "General Su, please be careful. I will be waiting for General Su's victory report in the city."
Lu Jingchuan is very self-aware. His mission is to defend the city, and he is good at it.
As for the attack, leave it to Su Yueqing and the others, and you just need to provide support from the rear.
"Okay." Su Yueqing smiled.
She also wanted to finish the battle quickly and go find her grandfather and the prince.
"Qingqing, do you have a specific plan for the attack tonight?" Jun Yuansheng asked.
Although the Dongli army was blocked twice and suffered heavy losses, its numbers were still not small.
If we attack rashly, we will not have the advantage in terms of military strength, so we need to plan carefully.
"Of course. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle."
"Before dark, I will go out of the city to find out the specific location of the Dongli army's camp, and then draw a map to facilitate the march." Su Yueqing said.
"When the time comes, we will deploy according to the position, divide the troops into four groups, and surround the Dongli army." Su Yueqing said, looking at Jiang Biechen, Jun Yuansheng, and Mu Chi beside him.
Including her, there are exactly four people.
With one route each in the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, the Dongli army was directly surrounded.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Jiang Biechen said.
Now the Dongli army is outside the city, and he is worried about Qingqing going out alone.
Su Yueqing thought about it and nodded. She really needed someone to go with her so that it would be more convenient and they could take care of each other.
Then, Su Yueqing looked at Jun Yuansheng and Mu Chi, "Yuansheng, Mu Chi, you are responsible for staying in the city, organizing the soldiers and dividing them into four teams. When the time comes, my brother and I will come back and discuss for a while, and then we can take action."
Jun Yuansheng looked at Mu Chi and nodded, "Okay."
Mu Chi also said, "Okay."
"Okay, in that case, let's take a break and then start the action." Su Yueqing stood up and said.
"Okay." Several people answered in unison, and then they all stood up and left, doing their own things.
Mu Chi and Jun Yuansheng left together, discussing how to reorganize the soldiers as they walked.
Jiang Biechen and Su Yueqing prepared to change clothes and go out of the city to spy on the enemy.
"Qingqing, when are we leaving the city?" Jiang Biechen asked as he walked.
Su Yueqing looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky. It was shining brightly.
"Now." Su Yueqing said, "We just had lunch, it's time to relax."
"it is good."
The two people returned to their rooms separately. Since it was daytime, they both changed into white clothes to be less conspicuous.
After a while, the two of them had changed their clothes and were ready to go out.
"Senior brother, apply this on your face." Su Yueqing handed Jiang Biechen a box of ointment.
"What is this?" Jiang Biechen asked.
Su Yueqing opened her medicine box and applied it on her face, saying, "It's a plaster that can temporarily darken your skin color."
"In today's battle, many people will see what we look like, so it's better to be careful."
"This plaster can make people darker, slightly concealing the three-dimensionality of their facial features, making them less easily recognizable."
Jiang Biechen nodded, and followed Su Yueqing's example, applying the ointment on his face.
After the painting was completed, the two men led the horses and left the city gate without anyone noticing.
After leaving the city gate, Su Yueqing and Jiang Biechen did not go in the direction of the Dongli army stationed, but changed direction and headed straight towards the capital.
"Qingqing, did we go the wrong way?" Jiang Biechen was puzzled. "Dongliren should be in the opposite direction, right?"
"Brother, this move is called making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. There must be Dongli spies around the city gate. If we go in the direction of Dongli, won't it make them alert?"
"On the contrary, if we go to the capital, they will think that something has happened in the city, so we need to go to the capital for help, which will actually lower their vigilance."
Jiang Biechen couldn't help but sigh that Qingqing's mind was so quick that he hadn't thought of it.
The two men rode for a while, and when they were sure they had escaped the surveillance of Dongli's spies, they turned around and quietly headed towards Dongli's base through a small path.
Because we had the map, we had a smooth journey and soon arrived at where the Dongli army was stationed.
Su Yueqing exchanged two sets of Dongli's military uniforms from the space and handed one to Jiang Biechen, "Brother, put on Dongli's clothes so that it will be more convenient for you to act."
Jiang Biechen was not surprised to know that Qingqing had a space where she could store things.
All I can say is that now he is not surprised by anything Qingqing does.
After the two of them changed into Dongli's clothes, Su Yueqing changed into men's clothes and said, "Brother, you check the surroundings of Dongli's camp, and I will go inside the camp to check the situation."
"Okay, be careful."
"Ah."
Su Yueqing sneaked into the Dongli camp without anyone noticing.
The first thing she wanted to find was where Dongli's food and grass were, and which camp the leading general Han Sui was in.
If these two are gone, the Dongli army will naturally be defeated without a fight.
Because they had just finished lunch, the soldiers were relaxed and slack, so Su Yueqing's work went very smoothly. He quickly found out the situation and made special marks on the food and Han Sui's tent.
After doing all this, Su Yueqing quickly evacuated and reunited with Jiang Biechen.
At this time, Han Sui learned that Dingzhou City had sent people to the capital, and guessed that Dingzhou City was running low on food and urgently needed support.
If that was the case, he would not be in a hurry to attack. He could wait quietly until the city ran out of ammunition and food, and then it would not be too late to launch an attack.
After the reunion, Su Yueqing and Jiang Biechen found that they had figured out the situation, and returned to the city through a small path without anyone noticing.
At this time, in Dingzhou City, Jun Yuansheng and Mu Chi worked in perfect harmony and had reorganized the soldiers.
Just wait for the order to go out of the city and fight.
Su Yueqing and Jiang Biechen rushed back before the sun set. The four of them discussed the deployment and finalized the plan.
Once it gets completely dark, they can take action.
