Chapter 61 Soldiers approaching the city
As soon as dawn, Chen Li was woken up by the guards and said that Zou Pusheng was looking for a meeting.
Chen Li hurriedly got up, and the maid who was guarding him hurriedly served him to dress. Because time was tight, he had to marches constantly, so the three maids who had been serving him could only stay in Jiangzhou.
Before leaving, the three girls cried like tears and begged Chen Li to take them away, but Zou Pusheng firmly opposed it, because the road was long and there was still a tough battle, so he could not take care of them at all.
Chen Li also knew that the trip was extremely difficult, so he settled them in a farmer's house and asked them to avoid it first and wait until they could settle down before picking them up. The three maids had to obey Chen Li's arrangements and disguise themselves as the daughter of a blind old woman, so as not to be discovered by Wu Jun.
Thinking about the three girls, Chen Li missed her a little, but she didn't know how they were now.
Chen Li put on his clothes and followed Zou Pusheng to the top of the city.
Almost all the generals were waiting for Chen Li, each of them looked heavy and knew that something was wrong at first glance.
Chen Li climbed the highest city tower and looked around. When he saw the dense camps in the distance, he immediately took a breath of air conditioning.
I saw the enemy barracks in the distance one by one, endless, countless, occupying all the farmlands around, and the military flags filled the earth, just like bamboo shoots that suddenly popped up overnight.
Zhang Dingbian said: "Zhu Yuanzhang's action was indeed very fast. Overnight, all the troops arrived. Except for the water surface in the east, the remaining three sides were filled with troops. Looking at the formation, there were no less than 300,000 troops."
Fu Youdedao: "It seems that they are going to sleep us to death."
Zou Pusheng said: "Even if we want to break through now, the possibility is very small."
Chen Li said: "Have you sent a whistleblower to investigate their formation?"
Zhang Dingbian said, "I went there, but they all shot them back with bows and arrows. Now there is almost no dog that can run ten miles away."
Chen Li said: "Go and look around."
The group followed Chen Li, rode a horse, and walked around the city. Sure enough, there were barracks on all sides that Wu Jun could not see at first sight, and there were high watchtowers of the enemy everywhere. As long as the Han army made a little move, they would find it.
Chen Li looked around and was stunned. It was the first time he saw such a large formation that so many people would take half a day to stand there and let the Han army cut.
Although he often fought wars in his previous life, there were not so many people. Because of modern weapons and equipment, the scenes of tens of thousands of people were already very large. Have you ever seen so many people? This ancient war really relied on the tactics of the sea of people.
The hundreds of thousands of troops were organized overnight, which shows how many talents Zhu Yuanzhang had and how orderly the dispatch was. This was definitely not something that ordinary mediocre people could do.
After running a long circle, the sun had risen, Wu Jun's training sound came faintly, and the low sound of the horn was inspiring.

Zhu Yuanzhang also took Liu Bowen and Li Bosheng to stand on the high watchtower and look at Nanchang City.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The city defense is built with stone strips, and a lot of soldiers will be lost when a strong attack is taken."
Liu Bowen twisted his short beard and said, "Surprising the city is like climbing a mountain. It is an extremely laborious thing. It is inevitable to lose troops and generals. At this time, all strategies will be useless."
Li Bosheng said: "Just relying on our army's momentum, the Han army will be frightened when they see it. As long as the King of Wu sieges and does not attack, the Han army will be panicked. We will send thousands of letters of surrender to the city. It won't be long before someone will think about escaping. It will not be too late to attack the city."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "It's good to avoid excessive damage. There are still many tough battles to fight later, which is best to reduce the damage."
Liu Bowen said: "This method is good, it is good, it takes too much time and consumes a lot of food and grass. Besides, this Han King is very strange, so it may change. If he escapes this time, there will be endless troubles."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although they have a general with great martial arts skills, he is also a flesh and blood body after all. We have countless heavy weapons this time. If we really don't do it, we can use these things to deal with him. I don't believe that we can't cure him."
Liu Bowen said: "Ke Chen always thinks it is better to attack the city immediately, so as to avoid long nights and many dreams."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The army has been exhausted all day and night these days, so let them rest for a few days. Then, take this kid in one go."
He said as he walked down, "Is there any news from the dark line?"
Li Bosheng said: "I haven't received the news for a long time."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused, held the flagpole, looked at the sky, and said, "I hope he can protect himself."

Chen Li returned to the general's mansion and summoned the generals to discuss the countermeasures.
Everyone discussed it for a long time, but they just wanted to strengthen their vigilance, prepare enough equipment to defend the city, wait for the opportunity to break the enemy, and there was no good strategy.
Chen Li looked at the worried generals and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang has invested a lot in this battle. If you want to annihilate us in one fell swoop, the situation is in danger. In order to know yourself and your enemy, I plan to go to the Wu Jun barracks tomorrow to see it. Let's go and find out what you think."
Zhang Bixian hurriedly stood up and said, "I am familiar with this place, and it is most suitable for me to go to this task."
Chen Li shook his head and said, "The Western Wu army has a tight defense and is difficult to get close. This trip is too dangerous, so I will take it myself."
When everyone heard that Chen Li was going to go in person, they tried their best to dissuade him and asked him to go there.
Chen Li and others paused and said, "Everyone should keep their energy at home and try their best when the enemy attacks the city. I am confident and don't persuade me, go down and rest."
After everyone left, Chen Li returned to the room and said to the guards: "Go and prepare me a set of tattered coarse cloth clothes, which I want to use."
Before the guards came back, the "wolf pack" such as Lu Shan, Lu Shui, Lu Lin, He Yanjiang, Tie Feng, Hua Xiaoyun and other "wolf packs" arrived, and they were all ready to investigate the military situation for Chen Li.
Chen Li looked at them and smiled and said, "It just so happens that you bring all the members. I will teach you a unique skill when I take this opportunity."
Hua Xiaoyun said expressionlessly: "It's now, what else can the master teach you? Just let us go and we keep it to complete the task."
Chen Li smiled and said, "I want to go to the enemy camp, who has the ability?"
Several people opened their mouths wide and were so shocked that they could not speak.
They thought they were touching the enemy's near and observing the specific arrangements and arrangements of the enemy's troops. Although this was a bit risky, it was not impossible. But Chen Li said that he wanted to go to the enemy's camp to take a look, and they knew that they didn't have the ability.
Chen Li smiled and said, "What, don't you dare."
Tiefeng slapped his thick chest and said loudly: "Who said he didn't dare? He just couldn't guarantee that he would come back. If you stay, you would have to exchange for dozens of lives for him."
