I was reborn as the villain

There are still a few days before the expeditionary force can reach Gaiqiu City. If 15 troops arrive at Gaiqiu City, Huanluo Guofei Jinghou only has [-] troops and cannot take Gaiqiu City. Then he will retreat, but Chen Zhimo couldn't let Fei Jinghou retreat smoothly, otherwise his plan would fail.

So after leaving Jianning City, except for the vanguard 5 troops rushing to Gaiqiu City, the other 10 troops dressed up as refugees and went to Gaiqiu City in batches. Because there is a large storage formation, these people can travel lightly. , does not attract much attention.

The 5 vanguard army could hardly escape the enemy's eyeliner. Chen Zhimo simply declared that the vanguard army consisted of 2 expeditionary troops and 3 new Xiaoxiao troops. This made Huanluo Guofei think that the left expeditionary army was useful. The number of [-] is mostly mobs such as bandits.

During this period of time, He Qing led [-] troops to Linfu City for support in the middle road. For example, carrying a large amount of food, grass and medicines, lighting a fire and cooking are all started by hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Along the way, the Chinese army rescued the suffering people and the Qingxiao epidemic soldiers, always inadvertently revealing from various details that the Chinese army has [-] people.

The [-] soldiers in the Chinese army are all from the original Yu Ben army, and they are all Chen Zhimo's confidantes, and they can strictly implement Chen Zhimo's deployment.

Among the three armies, the left vanguard was the first to arrive at the destination Gaiqiu City.

The arrival of the expeditionary army gave Gaiqiu City, which was about to be destroyed, a respite. The soldiers and civilians cheered for a while, and they all shed hot tears. These days, they persisted too hard, their food and grass were exhausted, and there was no reinforcements in the country. With a patriotic enthusiasm, they defended each other with their lives, and finally the expeditionary army came.

Chen Zhimo ordered his subordinates to distribute all kinds of food and supplies to the city defenders, and took over their tasks to let them rest well.

The general of Gaiqiu City's defenders was named Lu Weida. He hadn't closed his eyes for several days, and his cheekbones protruded from hunger, and he still insisted on standing on the top of the city.

"General Lu, go and rest, just leave it to this general."

Chen Zhimo did not disclose his identity, he used the previous title of General Shen Yu, after all his commander-in-chief was in the middle.

Lu Weida shook his head: "Thank you, General Chen, for your kindness. I have ordered half of the soldiers to rest first, and I can still persist."

Firstly, Lu Weida was worried that Chen Zhimo and others did not understand the situation, which would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. Second, he did not fully trust the expeditionary force.

Chen Zhimo also understood Lu Weida, and respected him very much, so he said, "General Lu, let's eat some food first. This is for the Expeditionary Army. If General Lu has any instructions, he can communicate with me in time."

Lu Weida nodded. He was indeed too tired and hungry. Even if he didn't retreat to rest, he still had to eat. He was watching from the top of the city. If there was anything wrong, he could respond in time.

"How does General Chen plan to fight this battle?"

"Kaicheng meets the enemy and confronts the enemy head-on." Chen Zhimo looked at the black Huanluo army in the distance from the top of the city, and said in a large number.

Lu Weida's face was startled, some words came to his lips but he couldn't say them inconveniently, in his opinion, Chen Zhimo was too young, he was really worried about such a young leader, what Chen Zhimo said just now made him even more worried He firmed up the idea.

Lu Weida considered his words carefully, and still said: "General Chen brought 5 troops this time, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and only 1 remained, and the total is only 6, and the defenders are already exhausted. Unbearable, the expeditionary force is rushing forward again, and the enemy has 10 elite soldiers, waiting for work at leisure, I am afraid the chances of victory are not high."

Lu Weida didn't even have the nerve to say that more than half of the [-] troops brought by Chen Zhimo were mobs.

Chen Zhimo showed a confident smile: "General Lu, don't worry, our soldiers are brave and good at fighting, one against ten, I don't pay much attention to the opponent's [-] troops."

Lu Weida's eyes showed disappointment. He was young and arrogant, and he was arrogant. This battle might be lost.

Lu Weida is not afraid of death, he is only worried about Qingxiao Country, he said with a sullen face: "General Chen, do you know if you should say something or not?"

Chen Zhimo said politely: "General Lu has something to say directly."

Lu Weida persuaded: "In my opinion, General Chen's best is to defend the city. Our purpose is not to fight to the death with the opponent, but to defend the enemy's attack and buy time for Linfu City. I heard that the Shucang Expedition The [-] troops of the army are already on their way to rescue Linfu City, as long as Linfu City is relieved of the crisis, the Huanluo Kingdom will definitely withdraw its troops, and there is no need for us to go out of the city and confront the West Road into crisis."

However, Chen Zhimo shook his head with a smile and said: "General Lu, this statement is wrong. The best defense is to attack. Instead of waiting here to attack and waste morale, it is better to go out of the city to fight while our army's morale is high, and kill them." Only with the vigor of the opponent can we better keep Gaiqiu City."

Lu Weida sighed, and then his gaze was firm. He thought that since he couldn't rely on Chen Zhimo, he had to rely on himself. Anyway, now that the city defenders had been supplied, he had to defend Gaiqiu City even if he died.

Lu Weida said solemnly: "The city defenders won't participate in frontal combat, so please invite General Chen Haihan."

Chen Zhimo said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, General Lu and the city defenders need to rest and recuperate, leave the battle to our expeditionary army when they go out of the city."

Lu Weida hesitated for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "General Chen, please borrow some of the Xinxiao Army and me. The defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the previous troops were severely lacking. The Xinxiao Army is originally a citizen of our country and should guard the country..."

Lu Weida also knew that his request was a little too much. Originally, Chen Zhimo didn't have many troops. Not only did he not join forces to attack, but he also asked Chen Zhimo to divide his troops among him. The Xiao army is a citizen of the Qingxiao country. Instead of following the expeditionary army to die, it is better to stay and defend the city and defend the country with him.

Chen Zhimo is such a smart person, he can see through Lu Weida's thoughts at a glance, and he doesn't blame Lu Weida, after all, people don't know him or his plans.

Chen Zhimo thought for a while and said, "Let's borrow General Lu's [-] new troops!"

Lu Weida was overjoyed when he heard that, he never expected Chen Zhimo to be so generous, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his selfish thoughts, so he decided to persuade him again.

"Thank you General Chen, it's just a matter of going out of the city to fight, I hope the general will think about it more,..."

Chen Zhimo patted Lu Weida on the shoulder and interrupted him: "General Lu, there is no need to say more. This general has made up his mind and will leave the city for a decisive battle tomorrow."

Lu Weida sighed, clasped his hands like Chen Zhimo, and turned to leave.
