Chapter 2039: Strategy to Weary the Army

"Today our army's plan failed, the enemy will definitely hold out!" Jia Zhengjin looked around at the generals and asked in a deep voice, "What good ideas do you have?"

"General!" A burly man stood up, "I am willing to lead the troops to attack at night and break through the Bashui County in one fell swoop!"

This man is the newly promoted lieutenant Yang Ting, who killed nearly a hundred enemies on the battlefield and was quite brave.

"Lieutenant Yang is courageous!" Jia Zhengjin said, "But if the enemy holds out, how can we break through the city gate?"

"General, our army will immediately cook and rest. By the second watch, the Bashui defenders will be exhausted, and a surprise attack can succeed in one fell swoop!" Yang Ting was full of confidence.

"This plan is not appropriate!" Hearing this, Cen Pei quickly stood up and said, "General, the enemy's garrison is not simple, not to mention the reinforcements from Yuanzhou and Miao County, they must be careful of night attacks. If our army attacks the city rashly, the enemy will take advantage of their rest and our army will be defeated!"

"Deputy General Cen is right!" Zou Yan immediately agreed, "Don't attack at night!"

"Hmm~" Jia Zhengjin also felt the same way and nodded slightly.

"General!" Just then, another person walked out of the crowd with a smile on his face, "I think it's okay to attack the city at night!"

"Why do you say that?" Jia Zhengjin turned his head and saw that it was the newly promoted lieutenant Chen Sheng who was speaking, "Didn't you hear what Lieutenant General Cen and Lieutenant General Zou said just now?"

"General, a rash night attack is of course not possible!" Chen Sheng said with a smile, "If we use the strategy of tiring the army, it may be effective!"

"The strategy of tiring the army?" Jia Zhengjin was a little curious, "Tell me about it!"

"Our army will rest and recuperate, and attack Bashui County at night on the second watch." Chen Sheng said, "But there is no need to really fight, just beat drums and shout to kill near the city gate, and shoot a wave of rockets to alarm the enemy. Then Then withdraw......"

"What kind of strategy is this?" Yang Ting frowned and said, "The enemy is fine, you are tiring our army?"

"Listen to me!" Chen Sheng smiled slightly, "Sudden night attack, the enemy army will be nervous and the whole army will defend the city. We will retreat to the camp to rest, and wait for the enemy's defenders to retreat, and then go to the city gate again to beat drums and shout to kill, and shoot a wave of rockets. Repeat this several times, the enemy defenders can't rest, and the whole army is exhausted. Our army can rest up! In the second half of the night, the enemy will think that our army is a false attack again, and will not set up defense. At that time, a sudden strong attack, even if it fails to capture Bashui County, can also cause deterrence! "

This strategy sounds so familiar!

Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and pondered,

Suddenly thought of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It seems that there is a record in that section that Zhuge Liang used a similar strategy to bully his opponents.

This buddy is talented! Isn't he also a time traveler?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "Captain Chen is really Zhuge in the world!"

"Uh~" Chen Sheng was confused when he heard this. Looking around, other deputy generals and captains also had puzzled expressions and asked each other who Zhuge was?

Seeing that Chen Sheng didn't know Zhuge, he thought, did he guess wrong? Or is it inconvenient for him to reveal the identity of the time traveler?

Jia Zhengjin thought for a while: "OK! This plan is very good!"

If it is a time traveler, the simple word OK will definitely be understood. Even if it is inconvenient to reveal the identity, it should be no problem to respond with a word implicitly.

However, after careful observation, Chen Sheng still did not respond, as if he did not understand the meaning of OK, but responded to the following four words: "General, thank you for your praise!"

"I am willing to lead the troops to the battle!" Yang Ting immediately stood up and said loudly.

"I am willing to go!!" A lot of captains stood up below, all eager to try.

Jia Zhengjin looked around and said loudly: "You are all the brave generals that this general has chosen, and you are the pillars of my Danyang army. However, this plan of tiring the army was proposed by Lieutenant Chen, and the plan of night attack started with Lieutenant Yang. Therefore, this general wants Lieutenant Yang to be the main general and Lieutenant Chen to be the deputy general to lead the troops and implement the plan!"

"I obey your orders!" Yang Ting and Chen Sheng showed joy on their faces and hurriedly knelt on one knee.

"This matter is of great importance, so we need to be cautious!" Jia Zhengjin turned his head and looked at Cen Pei, "Deputy General Cen, are you willing to lead the troops to support?"

"I obey your orders!" Cen Pei agreed without hesitation.

"Wait a minute!" Diao Jun looked down at Cen Pei's injured leg, "General, Deputy General Cen's leg is injured and he should rest!"

"It's okay!" Cen Pei said hurriedly, "The elixir given by the general has cured my leg injury."

"Really? That's good!" Jia Zhengjin nodded.

"I will go with Deputy General Cen. Please allow me to go!" Diao Jun frowned slightly, feeling uneasy, so he volunteered.

"Okay! Then I will send you two to lead 1,000 soldiers to support!"

"Yes!!"

After leaving the main tent, they returned to the camp to count their troops.

Cen Pei said to Diao Jun privately: "A night attack is dangerous. You don't want to risk your life, why do you volunteer?"

"You have an arrow wound on your leg, you can't go alone!" Diao Jun said, "I have a magic weapon, the wolf tooth awl, which may be able to help."

"The golden wound medicine given by General Yu is effective. My leg injury has been healed!" Cen Pei shook his head, "No need to worry at all."

Diao Jun has a deep understanding of the efficacy of the golden wound medicine. But he was still a little worried: "Let me see your wound, is it really healed?"

"What is there to see?" Cen Pei reached out and patted the wound bandage vigorously, "Isn't it all healed? It doesn't hurt at all!"

Seeing this scene, Diao Jun was relieved: "It's safer for two people to go together."

"Are you worried about me?" Cen Pei smiled and patted his shoulder.

"I just think you can't get into trouble. After all, with you by my side, there is a greater chance of returning home alive." Diao Jun said this sincerely.

"Haha! Thank you for your trust." Cen Pei nodded to him, "Don't worry! What Cen said must count, and I will definitely take you home safely."

"Yes!"

"Okay! We have more soldiers coming forward all of a sudden, we have to get familiar with them quickly, otherwise how will we fight later?" Cen Pei said, "When we attack at night, remember to stay with me and don't get separated. Fighting at night is the most likely to go wrong and the most dangerous, understand?"

"Aren't we just supporting from the rear?" Diao Jun asked doubtfully, "What dangers will there be? If a real fight breaks out, won't it be Captain Yang and his men who will bear the brunt of it?"

"You take it for granted." Cen Pei shook her head, "The battlefield changes rapidly and anything can happen. We can use strategies, and so can the enemy. If we can think of a night attack, maybe the enemy can think of it too! So no matter what the situation is, we must not underestimate the enemy. We must try to calculate various possibilities and set up defenses in advance."

"I don't really understand these things, anyway, I'll follow you, and I'll do whatever you say!" Diao Jun took out the wolf tooth cone, "When the time comes, I'll fight whoever you let me use the magic weapon to fight."

"That's the best!" Cen Pei smiled, "But under normal circumstances, the enemy is unlikely to come out of the city to fight, not to mention that we are just feinting. There's probably nothing for us tonight."

"Do you think we can really win this war and seize Bashui County?" Diao Jun asked.

"Things like war are never finalized!" Cen Pei said, "All we have to consider is obeying orders!"
