Zheng Fan returned to the tent where he was. He wanted to take a shower right now, but the military did not have such conditions, and now was not the time to be extravagant.
Six Niang put Zheng Fan’s head on her lap and helped with the massage. The blind man had already told her about being an envoy.
For Siniang, as long as the person is not dead, there is no problem. Why is everyone not just having fun anyway?
So, she didn't cry like those traditional women and said, "Master, please don't take risks again next time."
Six Niang is very clear about the Lord’s temper. A man’s nature is often revealed when playing with needles.
She knew that if she had a choice, the Lord would not take risks. The Lord still cherished his life, but there was really nothing he could do about military orders.
Liang Cheng came in. Zheng Fan was still lying on Siniang’s lap. Liang Cheng was already used to this scene.
"Your Majesty."
Zheng Fan opened his eyes and asked:
"How is the siege equipment being built?"
Liang Cheng shook his head and said: "It only took one day. Even if the conscription drove many cadres to do hard work, they only built some ladders and collected some weapons left by the previous cadres. ”
Sieging a city is a difficult task, and preparation in advance is also extremely important. However, time is too short at the moment, and there are too many tools that can be used in siege warfare. Go get ready.
Things like rams, arrow towers, and artillery carts are not there yet.
The walls of Shangjing City are extremely high, and there are many guards inside. Although morale is low, they are defending the city after all, and their psychological advantage is enough to soothe their original fear.
Zheng Fan sighed, maybe, as Li Fusheng said before, he knew there would be no result, but he was fighting purely for the sake of fighting.
We can’t look at such a slippery city wall and keep the same slippery city wall.
When a dog runs into a strange place, he still knows how to mark it by peeing.
"Okay, I understand, you can go down and rest." Zheng Fan said.
In the face of this situation, the role that individuals or small groups can play is really not big.
All Zheng Fan and the demon kings around him can actually do is stand aside and watch. If they insist on doing one more thing, they will pray that Li Fusheng will not kill his subordinates tomorrow. Just take the troops and use them as vanguards.
"Lord, rest, it's almost dawn." Siniang said.
Zheng Fan closed his eyes obediently.
At this moment, a group of cavalry rode from the West Wind Ferry and went straight into the military camp, waking up Li Fusheng who was planning to sleep for a while to gain more energy for the siege at dawn.
In the big tent,
Facing the letter delivered to him,
Li Fusheng cursedHe made a sound,
and then smashed the table in the big account with one palm.
Of course, Zheng Fan didn't know about this. When the military horn sounded, Zheng Fan hesitated for a moment whether to ask for sick leave or not, and then directly directed his men The power was handed over to Liang Cheng, and he went directly to the Chinese Army to find Li Fusheng.
Since the influence of being huddled in the military camp is not very good, then simply stand by Li Fusheng's side. Zheng Fan can probably guess some of Li Fusheng's martial arts. It may not be the third level, but it should be the fourth or fifth level. Yes, fighting on key battlefields often requires efficiency and adapting to local conditions. It is not like a one-on-one duel between the two sides. It is impossible to fully demonstrate what you have learned, so it is difficult to directly see what the opponent's strength is.
Those battlefield veterans, even if they are not qualified, may kill many more people than the masters in the chaos, and at the same time, their probability of survival is much higher than those of the masters.
But no matter what, if you stay with Li Fusheng, at least you don't have to worry about that bitch coming to find you.
Li Fusheng also heard from Zheng Fan yesterday about the Thyme Orchid. Seeing that Zheng Fan came directly to him to report the military situation, Li Fusheng just smiled.
Yesterday I sent someone to the city to serve as an envoy to Yan, and he almost died in the city. It is impossible for him to take risks again today.
Furthermore, Zheng Fan relied on the help of his demon kings to cheat and gained a lot of impression points with Li Fusheng and the two princes, so he still needed to be protected.
However, what surprised Zheng Fan was that when the Zhenbei Army set up their formation, Zheng Fan did not see the distinction between the front and rear armies. In fact, most of them were riding on horses.
The Zhenbei Army's infantry combat is actually not weak at all. In this era, generally speaking, the quality of cavalry is higher than that of infantry. After all, the training and development costs are different.
The Zhenbei Army could still suppress the Qian Army by dismounting and fighting on foot. Zheng Fan had seen it many times during his journey south.
Zheng Fan has been learning how to fight, and therefore, he really can't understand what kind of snake skin is being played.
The soldiers used in siege are not allowed to rest at this time?
Everyone is riding on horseback. Are you sure that the city wall of Shangjing City is a shoddy project, so you plan to just ride on horseback and break open the city gate?
Li Fusheng turned his head, glanced at Zheng Fan, and nodded slightly.
"..." Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan also immediately showed a clear expression.
Li Fusheng sighed and nodded again.
Zheng Fan also raised his head and let out a sigh of sadness, as if he felt the same.
Actually, I don’t understand anything at all.
Liang Cheng is not around at the moment, so there is no one to hand him the cheat sheet.
At this time, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the walls of Shangjing City, first one piece, and then a whole block of them shouted in unison:
"Long live my emperor." Long live long live long live! ”
“Long live my emperor! ”
Zheng Fan raised his head and looked up, and sure enough, a Jinwu scroll appeared on the city wall.
This means that Emperor Qian had visited the city wall in person.
The superior, the emperor, appeared on the city wall in person, which was a huge boost to the morale of the Qian army.
Especially now, the only thing the Yan army expected was not to defend the city through siege warfare. He killed all the Ganjun in the city, but wanted to use this pressure to make the Ganjun collapse himself.
Anyway, there are too many cases of Ganjun self-collapse, and dreams are always necessary. .
But the appearance of Emperor Qian almost shattered this possibility.
Zheng Fan secretly turned his head to look at Li Fusheng and found that there was nothing special about Li Fusheng's face. Today's mood swings, Li Fusheng's mood is a bit strange.
He is not so manic, not so arrogant, and seems a little too calm.
Zheng Fan had a pet in his previous life. Today, Li Fusheng gave Zheng Fan the same feeling as when he took the pet dog in his studio to cut off his balls.
On the city wall,
Zhao Guan's house was dressed in a dragon robe. He walked forward with a smile on his face, and stopped from time to time to greet some of the soldiers.
There is no possibility that the superiors do not have the skills to win people's hearts, it is just that they are too lazy to do it.
The soldiers of Qian started cheering as if they had been beaten to death, wishing that the Yan people would attack them right now so that the officials could see their bravery!
Thyme Lan is walking on Qian! Behind the emperor, her eyes wandered from time to time in the formation of the Yan army below the city.
Finally,
Zhao Guanjia walked up to the tower and sat down on the platform. , drinks have been prepared there.
These were all greeted in advance, and only after confirming that the Yan people did not have artillery vehicles did they dare to sit here so openly.
< p>What makes Zhao Guanjia slightly dissatisfied is that,There is only tea and no chessboard.
As an actor who has extremely high standards for his acting skills, even if he is Every flaw made him feel very unhappy.
The stages on both sides were set up,
the actors were in place,
below,
The gongs should be beaten, and the drums should be beaten.
Li Fusheng waved his arm,
The flag soldiers in the rear immediately responded and conveyed the general's order.
The next moment,
A large number of Ganren people were driven forward from both sides of the Yan army's formation, holding swords and spears in their hands and wearing their original clothes. < /p>
Zheng Fan pursed his lips. In this situation, the blind man had already reminded himself that filling the moat with Ganren's lives to consume Ganren's defensive resources was a common method on the battlefield.
p>The Ganjun on the city wall suddenly became uproar and began to scold the Yan people for their shamelessness.
When Emperor Qian, who was sitting there watching the battle, saw that the people swarming over him were actually his own people, his expression immediately darkened.
"Fire the arrows!"
"Fire the arrows!"
The defenders had no mercy for women. When they discovered that the people below were already setting up ladders, , immediately issued an attack order.
For a time, arrows fell like locusts, causing heavy casualties to the people below.
They instinctively wanted to retreat, but the Yan Army knights wandering outside immediately drove them back.
Immediately afterwards,
The second wave of people from Gyeonggi who were used to fill the pits were driven up.
"Ahem..."
Zheng Fan couldn't help coughing twice. This scene was a bit too tragic. After all, he still couldn't stand it, but he was also Try to control your reaction as much as possible.
The people who can live in the capital must have a great relationship with the capital city. In fact, many family members of the defenders of the Qian Kingdom live outside the city. For a time, the walls of the city There were shouts and curses one after another, and many guards shot arrows downwards while shouting with tears.
Li Fusheng just closed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingertips lightly on the saddle. Yes, he was enjoying this moment. He did not feel any discomfort at all.
Although Zheng Fan knew that to be a general, he had to be cold-blooded enough, but seeing Li Fusheng enjoying himself, he still felt a little bit stunned.
This commander-in-chief, who had long said that he would stop the killing in his heart when needed, was not bluffing.
The next group of people from the Qian Kingdom who were driven forward did not even have swords or guns. They could only pick up the swords and guns beside the dead people in front of them. In fact, the ladders had already been completely destroyed.
On the city wall, Emperor Qian had already stood up and left. He came here to see his army fighting with the Yan people, but the scene in front of him made him, the emperor, very undignified.
Because the people under the city are also his people, this scene is tantamount to a slap in his face.
After seeing Jinwu Honghao leave from the city wall,
Li Fusheng smiled slightly,
It seemed that he had just finished listening to a concert. The person he was before was Immerse yourself in art.
"Ah..."
Li Fusheng yawned,
made a hand back,
the one behind him The messenger quickly conveyed the order,
immediately,
The Yan army began to withdraw its troops.
From the beginning to the end, no one in the phalanx composed of Yan people tried to rush up and seize the city. Everyone watched from the side, and then when the point was reached, they turned back to camp together.
After returning to the camp, Li Fusheng went directly into his tent and ordered that unless there was an incident of rape, he would not see anyone, including Zheng Fan.
Zheng Shoubei returned to the camp where his subordinates were, and everyone was already burying the pot and cooking.It’s time to eat.
The demon kings sat together,
Xue San first said:
"Are you going to do it today?"
Are you blind? Liang Cheng didn't answer either. He didn't answer because they didn't know either.
"He changed his mind temporarily." Zheng Fan said.
Li Fusheng, who last night vowed to attack the city and might even personally lead the vanguard to attack the city wall, seemed extremely quiet and peaceful today.
There must be some factors that prompted Li Fusheng's change today.
The blind man finally spoke;
"It seems that the troops are about to withdraw."
Liang Cheng shook his head and retorted:
"If the troops were to be withdrawn, a notice must have been issued by now, but not yet, which proves that the army will continue to be stationed here tomorrow."
The dinner ended in this weird atmosphere , In fact, there must be many people who are puzzled by what happened on the battlefield today.
Even the Ganren generals in the city would be confused as to what the Yan people were up to.
At night,
The blind man walked to the tent where Liang Cheng was, and at the same time, he said with some dissatisfaction:
"I called you over, why do you have to ask me to come over?" ?"
Liang Cheng said:
"Aren't you afraid that it will be inconvenient for you?"
The blind man and the little wife are living together now. tent.
"Haha."
Imagination opened the curtain, revealing A Ming inside. The blind man said:
"I am also afraid that you two will not Convenient."
Liang Cheng and A Ming lived in the same tent.
The blind man leaned down and entered the tent.
Liang Cheng picked up the water bag and prepared to pour water for the blind man.
The blind man hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, I won't drink your water."
"It's water." Liang Cheng said.
"Don't drink, don't drink."
God knows what was in this water bag before.
"What's the matter?" Liang Cheng asked.
The blind man took out a letter from his arms and said:
"This is the letter sent by Wen Sutong."
"He can actually Send it out."
Now that the war is in chaos, it would be a big struggle to send a letter over.
"When I left, I left two smart people for him."
Since he was from Cuiliu Fort, even if he ran into Yan Jun while delivering the letter, he would not Something will happen.
"However, two people delivered the letter together, and one of them was broken."
The price of this letter is really quite high.
There is nothing we can do about it. The smooth flow of information channels is extremely important at any time. Even if a few knights are sacrificed for this, the blind man feels it is worth it.
"What did the letter say?"Liang Cheng asked.
"I talked about the situation in Chuzhou City. It's basically calm. According to what the Lord said, Emperor Qian must have indeed issued a decree to prohibit armies from three sides from returning for reinforcements, so Chuzhou City is still with us. In their hands, Wen Sutong and the others are still working as puppet soldiers."
"Yes."
"However, one thing that makes me feel very strange is that at the end of the letter. I added one more thing."
"Said."
"Wen Sutong once sent people to contact the surrounding areas to persuade the defenders of other cities in Chu County to surrender, and the results were very good. "It's expected."
Although Chu County has been trampled by the Yan army, it is still far from being announced. After all, there are still no troops on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom. After returning, according to the original plan, as long as the soldiers and horses returning from three sides of the Qian Kingdom were eaten, the northern officials of the Qian people would be desperate. Therefore, except for a few staunch factions, the rest would either flee to the south or directly surrender to Dayan.
"Wen Sutong is an old fox. He didn't say it clearly, but I saw what he meant."
"There's no need to say it clearly. Anyway, you, grandson, son-in-law, are all foxes." "
The blind man directly skipped Liang Cheng's ridicule and said:
"Wen Sutong sent someone to inform the entire Chu County. In fact, it was a kind of investigation. In the letter, he said that in addition to Chuzhou City, which is the route our troops passed, there were also several towns in the western part of Chu County that had been attacked by our Yan army. After replenishing supplies and food here, we continued south."
Hearing this, Liang Cheng's expression suddenly turned serious. Apparently, he realized the message hidden here.
"That road, judging from the direction of march, should be Li Bao's men."
Liang Cheng nodded and said: "It is indeed them, so here is the question. ."
"Yes, here comes the problem. As a subordinate, Wen Sutong did not dare to ask about our military plan intentions blatantly. He could only mention it implicitly in this way. However, he did It’s been a big help to us.”
“Yes, it’s a reassurance.”
Next to him, A Ming, who had been sleeping in the tent, said with some dissatisfaction.
p>"Hey, I'm the only outsider in the tent, what's the point of having to play riddles while you're talking?"
Liang Cheng turned to look at A Ming, pointed at the letter in the blind man's hand, and said:
"The meaning is very simple, that is, the 200,000 main troops led by Zhenbeihou and Jingnan Army have disappeared."
"Gone?" A Ming was a little confused and subconsciously Authentic: "It must be hidden, right?"
"Chu County is basically a plain, and there are few mountains. There are two hundred thousand troops, including men and horses, hundreds of thousands of living creatures. How can it be completely We can hide it.
When we entered Chu County, Li Fusheng's group was separated from the main force. Then we also learned that there was another group heading south like us, namely Li Bao's group.One.
But the problem is that after leaving Chu County, these two groups were fighting each other, and the main force did not appear. ”
“Hey, didn’t you say before that you were hiding there waiting to attack the country’s reinforcements?” "
Liang Cheng shook his head and said:
"But there is a problem. You have to know that with an army of 200,000 and so many horses, people eat what horses chew every day. The amount of food, grass and baggage consumed was an astronomical figure.
Judging from Wen Sutong’s letter, in the entire Chu County, apart from us and Li Bao, two soldiers who broke through the town in order to obtain supplies, there was no such kind of wolf attack in other parts of Chu County. entering situation. "
A Ming was silent.
The blind man licked his lips and said, "Interesting, interesting." "
"It is indeed very interesting. Emperor Qian saw through Dayan's plan early on, so from the beginning he issued an order to the three sides to prohibit one soldier from going south, intending to use this method to trap Yan. The country's cavalry group.
But in the end, the only ones who fought from beginning to end were Li Fusheng's half of the army and Li Bao's half of the army. In total, they probably only had 60,000 horses.
The main force of 200,000 cavalry led by the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan,
but,
disappeared..."
