Chapter 162 The Coming Siege
The messenger frowned slightly.

"We don't know about the general! My message has arrived, does the general have anything to bring back?"

Luo Shicheng still didn't believe it.

"How many reinforcements did His Majesty send this time?"

"Back to the general, the total is [-], but the loss is quite a lot. Those who are still in Juyongguan, including injuries, are in the early [-]."

In addition to the loss of Lianyunzhai, plus the army going north, plus the peaceful family that was defeated in the battle last night, there are still [-] soldiers in Juyongguan where Li Xiuzhu is located, [-] are slightly injured, and [-] are seriously injured.

There are no immortals on the battlefield. In a war of 5 people on one side, only three or 4000 of them died, which is really not too many.

But upon hearing this, Luo Shicheng suffered nearly [-] casualties, and took down Juyongguan.

But even so, Luo Shicheng also wanted to call Li Xiuzhu a military genius.

You must know that although there are 5 people on one side, the Silla people occupy Juyongxiongguan.

"Okay, tell your general to guard Juyongguan and not to send troops at will."

"Although the other party has set up camp, they certainly won't have much food and grass. Wait for my general order after holding on for half a month."

At this moment, there was a slight sound of arrows about one kilometer away.

Hearing the signal, Xiao Bing's expression changed, and he quickly said: "General, the enemy camp is coming this way. If there is no other order, this subordinate must leave."

"Well, hurry up, be careful, and be sure to bring the general's words with you."

"promise!"

After finishing the words, Li Xiang quickly turned his horses, causing a cloud of smoke and dust to rise in front of Shanhaiguan.

At this time, a young general beside Luo Shicheng looked at his father.

"Father, do you believe what this orderly says?"

Luo Shicheng nodded when he heard the words, and shook his head again, showing Luo Chen that he was confused.

But before he could ask again, Luo Shicheng answered his question.

"Although his words are a bit exaggerated, they are at least [-]% credible."

"You should have seen it, he was wearing the armor of the Sixteen Guards of Kyoto."

"The sixteen guards of Kyoto came to defend the imperial city quickly, and they never left Shangjing. Their armors would never appear at the border."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that some people will act boldly and dare to smuggle arms."

"So you can only believe [-]% of what he says."

"At night, send ten scouts out to investigate Juyongguan, remember to take note of their appearance one by one."

"If Juyongguan is filled with our military flag, let them repeat what I said before to the guards."

"Send another five scouts to Yanmen Pass to inquire."

"Now also release five scouts."

"If Silla loses Juyongguan, the other party will definitely take action."

At this moment, Luo Chen saw his father's sophistication.

"Yes, father."

Luo Shicheng's guess was right, the Silla people had indeed moved, and they were still going to Li Xiuzhu's Juyongguan.

In Jin Dakang's mind, although the opponent may have captured Juyongguan, they should have suffered heavy losses. This is the time when Li Xiuzhu's army is weakest.

If it is to seize the city, this is the best opportunity.

So Jin Dakang set up camp directly, planning to attack Juyongguan directly before Luo Shicheng reacted.

Winning Juyongguan is now his only thought.

Otherwise there is only a dead end.

In order to prevent Luo Shicheng from getting the news, he also sent ten centurions to block the surrounding area of ​​Shanhaiguan to prevent scouts from communicating.

What Jin Dakang did was right, but it was a pity that he got the news too late. By the time he sent troops out, the scouts had already started running back.

As long as you can leave the circle before the encirclement forms a blockade, then there is no problem.

And the loud arrows just now did attract Silla's troops.

At Youshi, Li Xiuzhu finally heard the report from his subordinates.

"General, the army of Silla has arrived outside the city just as the general expected."

Li Xiuzhu stretched his waist when he heard the words, and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

"How about the confiscation of those aristocratic families? Didn't cause confusion?"

Zhao Qi, the messenger soldier, said immediately after hearing the words: "Captain Zhao came to report that the female relatives have already made arrangements. Except for the beating of a few naughty girls who uttered wild words, there were no accidents."

"Well! Just arrange three thousand wounded soldiers to watch them, no need to waste troops."

"promise!"

Li Xiuzhu left the sheriff's mansion while speaking, and rode quickly to the south gate of Juyongguan.

When Li Xiuzhu came to the city gate, Huaguanfang, Li Wuwei and Qi Chang were all there.

"General."

"General."

"..."

Li Xiuzhu waved his hand, took out the binoculars and looked at the dark figure in the distance.

At this time, a soldier in golden armor was looking at the opponent's camp. The two seemed to be looking at each other, but Li Xiuzhu knew that the opponent could only see a city wall, not even a person.

Li Xiuzhu took a glance with the binoculars and saw the tent that the other party had hastily set up without even erecting a fence. He immediately knew the plan of the other general in his heart.

"Guanfang, you take 1 people to sleep in the north of the city, don't come here no matter if you hear the shouts of killing or not."

"Wuwei, you lead 1 people to guard the city wall first."

"Qi Chang, you bring a living fire to cook, and after you finish eating, you can exchange it for someone who does nothing."

"The other party will attack the city tonight at the latest, so be careful."

Hearing Li Xiuzhu's order, the three of them had no objection.

"Wang Guanfang takes orders!"

"Li Wuwei takes the order!"

"Qi Chang..."

Except for Li Wuwei, Huaguanfang and Qichang all went down the city gate.

Li Wuwei then said: "General, how many days can we last if the other side attacks the city?"

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he looked at Li Wuwei like a fool, and immediately showed Li Wuwei an emo.

Only then did Li Xiuzhu say: "There are only 5 people on the other side, and now they are at most desperate to fight."

"One bang, then two declines, and three exhaustions."

"As long as you withstand the first few waves, the opponent can only counterattack before dying."

"As long as you don't relax your vigilance, Xiongguan is guarding it, and there is no threat from Silla in the north, let alone how long you can defend it, even if you guard it for a year, it will not be a big problem."

At this moment, Li Wuwei froze, well, he was stupid.

As we all know, with the same force, it is basically impossible for the siege to win.

The reason why they were able to capture Juyongguan was that Qi Shaoshang opened the gate, and they raided during the most difficult time.

And before Silla was able to attack Juyongguan, it was also because the aristocratic families in Juyongguan colluded with foreign thieves.

It's just that they are besieged now, and they don't have enough food and grass for a year.

"General, what about the food?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head and smiled when he heard this.

"Those aristocratic families are all rats, how can we still lack our food and grass?"

"The food and grass that has just been seized is enough for a formation of 10 people to use for a year."

"There are countless gold, silver and jewelry."

"I'll take [-]% later, and if the people from Lianyunzhai come back, I'll give them [-]%."

"Thirty percent is given to the fighting brothers. As long as you fight bravely and don't steal or play tricks, you will be rewarded."

"Thirty percent of the pensions for the casualties will be paid out once a year, and will be paid out in ten years."

"The remaining [-]% ​​is for their future, which is the construction of free schools."
