Chapter 458: Two-Pronged Approach
"Sure enough, we have to rely on robbery to survive!" Hearing Luo Lei's cry, Zhou Yu couldn't help smiling. More than 3,000 remnants were defeated, hundreds of cavalry, even if the Zhengdong Army fought bravely and bravely, so what? After fleeing for thousands of miles and returning, only a few percent of the original combat power was left.
"Wait, three days later, it will be the end of the Eastern Conquest!" Zhou Yu's eyes were a little blurred. Yesterday, a message came from Tanfeng Flying Horse. The news of Donghu's peace talks made Zhou Yu a little stunned. The conditions offered by the opponent were so lenient that Zhou Yu couldn't believe his eyes. If nothing else, those tens of thousands of soldiers could Surviving is always a good thing.
With a two-pronged approach, the two groups sent troops together, and Gao Yuan was cleared away. The incident of Dayan this time can be regarded as a perfect prelude.
During the anxious wait, three days seemed to be as long as three years. When the sun leaped out from the horizon on the third day, in the middle of Dayan Prefecture and on Dayan Ridge, the 10,000 standing troops of Yan State were already in full formation, and 3,000 infantrymen Three thousand infantrymen were in ambush on the Dayan Ridge from the front to block the formation. As soon as the Eastern Conqueror Army entered the ambush area, they would quickly attack on the mountain to block the rear route of the Eastern Conqueror Army. The 1,000 cavalry in the army and the 500 cavalry from the Helian tribe and the Buyi tribe will use the terrain from the mountains to launch a powerful attack on the East Conquering Army. In the middle of the battle, he was preparing to attack the flank of the Conquering Eastern Army, while Zhou Yu led another 2,000 people as a reserve team, ready to deal with emergencies.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes, facing the sun, staring fixedly at the distant horizon.
Some black spots appeared in his field of vision, and Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately regained his composure. The long wait finally came to fruition, and the joy flashed by.
Immediately came dozens of cavalry scouts. Seeing the rippling Dayan Lake, these cavalry cheered and galloped towards the lake. On the face, countless drops of water shone with five colors of light under the sunlight.
After playing for a while, these cavalrymen got on their horses again and ran away laughing all the way. Looking at the direction they were going, Zhou Yu grinned, his white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.
An hour later, a black line appeared in everyone's field of vision. On Dayan Ridge, there was still no sound, only the sound of heavy breathing, but it suddenly became heavier.
Getting closer, getting closer, the high-character banner was shining brightly under the sun, and under the banner, a tall general rode on horseback. Slowly grasp the handle of the knife.
Looking at the other party's situation, it was similar to what Luo Lei had described. Although the army looked neat, everyone was dressed in shabby clothes, and the spirit of the entire army seemed a little sluggish.
Zhou Yu stared at his opponent calmly,
He had personally seen the reaction speed and bravery of the Zhengdong Army. Even if such an army has become a sick cat, it may still turn into a ferocious tiger when it is on the verge of extinction. An injured tiger is undoubtedly more terrifying.
Killing a chicken also requires a sledgehammer, what's more, what he is facing is not a chicken, but a wounded wolf.
Zhengdong Army finally stepped into his ambush circle. Seeing the clear water, the somewhat shriveled army finally cheered. Looking at the cheering Zhengdong Army, Zhou Yu couldn't help showing a hint of admiration in his eyes. Even in this state, Zhengdong Army did not break up. Even though the water was so attractive to them, they still kept their formation neat. Everyone turned their eyes and looked at Gao Yuan under the flying flag.
Gao Yuan stood under the banner, looking at Dayanling calmly, then he stretched out his hand, watching Gao Yuan's gesture, Zhou Yu's calm as water heart suddenly jumped wildly.
That's a middle finger!
Gao Yuan raised his arm high, and his middle finger stood up, which looked so dazzling.
The opponent found his ambush! This was Zhou Yu's first reaction. As for how Gao Yuan found out, he had no time to worry about it. He hurriedly stood up, holding his saber high. All over the world, on Dayan Ridge and Dayan State, all ambushes were set up.
Seeing that the Zhengdong Army started to set up the formation without any panic, Zhou Yu's eyes became more suspicious, because what Gao Yuan set up was not a defensive formation, but an offensive formation in the shape of a letter character.
"Kill!" It was not Zhou Yu's ambushes who launched the attack first, but the surrounded Zhengdong Army, the first square formation used as arrows, all heavy infantry Modao soldiers, walking heavily towards theirs. Ahead, the 3,000-strong interception army walked straight over.
They walked very slowly, but every step was full of strength. Hundreds of mo knives formed a sea of blades, and the sun shone on them, which could dazzle people's eyes.
"Cavalry, attack!" Zhou Yu shouted sharply. Once the heavy infantry formed an formation and began to attack, it could be said that they were unstoppable from the front, but their Achilles' heel was their slow turning and slow formation change, while You Ge's cavalry of the East Conquering Army on both sides of them was seriously insufficient.
The sound of shouting resounded throughout Dayan State.
At the same time, outside Jishi City, Tan Feng stared dumbfounded at the monster-like Jishi City standing under Jishi Mountain. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, almost thinking that he was hallucinating.
From a distance, under the cover of Jishi Mountain, the city doesn't seem very tall, but as soon as you get close, you will feel a huge sense of oppression. The city wall of more than ten meters is higher than that of Liaoxi City. There are many, and the peculiar shape makes this city have no dead corners for defense.
What is even more amazing is that this city actually has a base, and the smooth slope is several meters long, and the moat surrounding the entire city is flowing with gurgling water.
Looking up, there seems to be no one in the city, but faintly, you can see countless knives and guns shining in the sunlight, calm down, and you can also hear faint footsteps and shouts.
Tan Feng imagined that he would face a strong camp, but he never imagined that he would attack such a fortified city. Looking back at the shocked generals behind him, their faces all had a look of despair, Whether it is Zhang Junbao, Zhang Zhuo, or Ji Wugui, the general from Tianhe County, they are all well versed in the way of attacking and defending a city, and they know what price the attacker will pay if they want to attack such a fortified city!
Morale can not be discouraged! The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. A smile appeared on Tan Feng's face in an instant, "Gao Yuan didn't make a sound. In such a short period of time, he actually built such a city in the depths of the grassland. It's amazing, amazing!"
He was in a leisurely manner, without the slightest sign of nervousness, but Ji Wugui didn't have such a mentality, "Commander Tan, to attack such a city, I'm afraid we will not have enough troops."
"Insufficient troops!" Tan Feng laughed. "That's right to the point. Look, we are indeed short of troops. The two armies combined can count as tens of thousands of soldiers, but what about the other side? How many people do they have?"
The horsewhip pointed forward, "This city is really big, but it is because it is so big that it has become his fatal weakness. How many people are there in the Zhengdong Army? How many people did Gao Yuan take away? How many of them can guard this city?" ?”
After Liao Liao said a few words, the faces of Ji Wugui, Zhang Junbao, Zhang Zhuo and others all lit up.
"If this city is small, we may have to pay a heavy price, but this city is too big. There may be many young men in the city, but how can untrained young men compare with well-trained soldiers? In this battle, We will win!" Tan Feng resolutely said.
"Commander Tan, our army is willing to be the vanguard and attack first!" Zhang Junbao excitedly patted his horse forward.
Tan Feng smiled and shook his head, "No need, our army is coming from afar, let's take a rest first, set up camp today, if we don't attack the city, let's do the courtesy first and then the soldiers, first send people to persuade them to surrender, if the opponent is obsessed with their obsession, it won't be too late to attack."
A few miles away from Jishi City, two large camps stood up, one on the left and one on the right. Zhang Junbao's Liaoxi Army and Ji Wugui's Tianhe County soldiers echoed from left to right. The sentinels rode out of the camp and ran around Jishi City, trying to Peeping at the reality of Jishi City, more people rushed out of the camp and rushed to the distance.
Because they didn't expect that the target they were going to clean up would have such a fortified city, and the two troops led by Tan Feng didn't even bring even a single siege weapon. I can't even see a tree, and I have to look for wood if I want to make siege equipment.
Tan Feng led Ji Wugui, Zhang Junbao, Zhang Zhuo and others to stroll among the camps. In front of their eyes were fields that had just been harvested, and new young shoots had sprouted from clusters of stubble. The leaves sway in the air with the wind.
Tan Feng squatted down, dug his fingers into the soil, and dug hard, the soil rose up in response to the sound, his fingers twitched, and the soil fell rustlingly. Staring at the soil in his palm, Tan Feng sighed, "I said this is a newly cultivated land. How could there be such a growing crop in the land, Gao Yuan, he was willing to pay such a big capital?"
"Why is Commander Tan so interested in mud?" Zhang Junbao leaned over and asked obsequiously.
Tan Feng glanced at Zhang Junbao and smiled, "It's very difficult to have a good harvest in the first year of the newly cultivated land, but if you look at the stubble, it is obvious that the crops are growing very well, and Gao Yuan actually had people dig the fat mud Come and bury it down here."
Zhang Junbao is obviously the kind of young master who is inactive and hard to separate from the five grains. Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wugui are much clearer about this, "Commander Tan, it seems that they dug mud from the swamps around Jishi Lake. This Jishi Lake should not have been as big as it is now, and the newly added area must have been formed by digging a lot of soil."
Tan Feng raised his head, looked at the fields beyond sight, and sighed, "I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of mu? Even if one mu yields only one hundred catties, there are plenty of grain stores in Jishi City." Tens of millions of catties."
Having said that, he turned around and looked at the generals, "Do you understand what I mean?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come. Vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support, It is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please come.)
