Devil’s Advent

Zheng Fan returned to his tent. He wanted to take a bath right now, but the army really didn't have such conditions, and it wasn't the time to be extravagant.

Si Niang put Zheng Fan's head on her lap, helping with the massage, and doing envoy duties, the blind man had already said.

For Siniang, as long as the person is not dead, there is no problem. Anyway, why are you not just playing?

Therefore, she didn't cry like those traditional women, saying that Lord, please don't take risks again next time.

Si Niang is clear about the master's temper. A man's nature is often revealed to the fullest when he is playing with needles.

She knew that if she had a choice, the Lord would not choose to take risks. The Lord still cherishes his life, but there is really nothing to do about military orders.

Liang Cheng came in, Zheng Fan was still lying on Si Niang's lap, Liang Cheng had long been familiar with this scene.

"My lord."

Zheng Fan opened his eyes and asked:

"How's the siege equipment going?"

Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "It only takes a day, even if the conscripts drove many dry workers to do hard work, but only made some ladders, and collected some weapons left by the previous dry soldiers."

Siege is a highly difficult job, and preparation in advance is extremely important, but the time is too hasty right now, and there are too many tools that can be used in siege warfare, so there is no time to prepare.

Those similar to the rush car and the arrow tower, including the cannon car, have not been seen yet.

The city wall of Shangjing City is extremely tall, and there are many guards inside. Although the morale is low, they are guarding the city after all, and their psychological advantages are enough to soothe the original panic.

Zheng Fan sighed. Perhaps, as Li Fusheng said before, he knew that there would be no result, but he fought for the sake of fighting.

I can't just look at such a slippery city wall and leave the same slippery city wall.

When the dog runs to a strange place, he still knows how to urinate and mark it.

"Okay, got it, you go down and rest too." Zheng Fan said.

In the face of this situation, the role that individuals or small groups can play is really not great.

Rao Zheng Fan and the demon kings around him, in fact, all they can do is stand by and watch. If they insist on doing one more thing, it is to pray that Li Fusheng will not take his men and horses to serve as vanguards tomorrow. .

"Master, rest, the sky is almost dawn." Siniang said.

Zheng Fan obediently closed his eyes.

At this moment, a group of cavalry rode their horses from the West Wind Ferry and entered the barracks, waking up Li Fusheng, who was planning to squat for a while to gather more energy for the siege at dawn.

In the big tent,

Facing the letter delivered to him,

Li Fusheng cursed loudly,

Immediately, he shattered the table case in the big tent with one palm.

Of course, Zheng Fan didn't know about this matter. When the horn sounded in the army, Zheng Fan hesitated between asking for sick leave, and directly handed over the command of his subordinates to Liang Cheng. I went directly to the Chinese army to find Li Fusheng.

Since the influence of staying in the barracks 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 rank, but there should be four or five ranks. The key battlefield is to fight , Most of the time, they pay attention to efficiency and adapting measures to local conditions. Unlike the heads-up battle between the two sides in the arena, it is impossible to show what they have learned, so it is difficult to directly see the strength of the opponent.

Even those old soldiers who are not in the ranks, they may kill many more people in the chaotic battle than the masters, and at the same time, they have a much higher probability of surviving than those masters.

But no matter what, if you stay by Li Fusheng's side, at least you don't have to be afraid of that girl coming to find you.

About the Thyme Orchid, Li Fusheng also heard Zheng Fan's talk yesterday, seeing that Zheng Fan came directly to him to report on the military situation, Li Fusheng just smiled.

The one who sent someone into the city to serve as an envoy yesterday almost died in the city, so it is impossible for him to take another risk today, right?

Furthermore, Zheng Fan cheated with the help of his subordinate demon kings, and earned a lot of impression points with Li Fusheng and the two Hou Ye, so he should protect it.

However, what surprised Zheng Fan was that when the Zhenbei Army formed its formation, Zheng Fan didn't see the distinction between the front and rear troops, and even the big guys were riding on horses.

The infantry of Zhenbei Army is actually not weak at all. In this era, generally speaking, the quality of cavalry itself is higher than that of infantry. After all, the cost of training and cultivation is different.

The scene where the Zhenbei Army can still suppress the army when they dismount and fight on foot, Zheng Fan has seen it many times during his journey south.

Zheng Fan has been learning how to fight, and because of this, he really doesn't understand what kind of snake skin he is playing with.

Shouldn't the siege soldiers take a rest at this time?

Everyone is riding on horseback. Are you sure that the city wall of Shangjing City is a tofu project, so you plan to ride horses and smash the city gate open?

Li Fusheng turned his head, glanced at Zheng Fan, and nodded slightly.

"..." Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan also showed a clear look immediately.

Li Fusheng sighed and nodded again.

Zheng Fan also raised his head and let out a sigh of regret, as if he felt the same way.

In fact, I didn't understand anything at all.

Liang Cheng is not around at the moment, no one can pass the cheat sheet.

And at this time, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the city walls of Shangjing City, first one piece, then whole pieces shouted in unison:

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zheng Fan raised his head and looked up, and sure enough, there was a Jinwu banner on the city wall.

This means that Emperor Qian has come to the city wall in person.

The superior, or the emperor, appeared on the city wall in person, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.

Especially right now, the only hope of the Yan army is not to kill all the cadres defending the city through siege battles, but to let the cadres collapse by themselves through this kind of pressure.

Anyway, there are too many examples of the self-collapse of the army, and there are always dreams.

But the appearance of Emperor Qian can be said to have almost shattered this possibility.

Zheng Fan secretly turned his head to look at Li Fusheng, and found that there was no special emotional fluctuation on Li Fusheng's face. Li Fusheng's mood today is a bit strange.

It's not that manic anymore, and it's not that crazy anymore, it seems a little too calm.

Zheng Fan had pets in his previous life, today Li Fusheng gave Zheng Fan the feeling that he took the pet dog in the studio to cut off his balls.

city ​​wall,

Dressed in a dragon robe, Zhao Guanjia smiled as he walked forward, and at the same time stopped from time to time to greet some soldiers.

There is no possibility that the superior will not buy people's skills, it is nothing more than laziness to do it.

The soldiers of the dry army started cheering one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They wished that the Yan people would immediately attack them so that the officials could see their bravery!

Thyme Orchid walked behind Emperor Qian, her eyes wandering around the phalanx of the Yan army below the city from time to time.

finally,

Zhao Guan's family went up to the gate tower and sat down on the platform of the gate tower, where drinks were already prepared.

These were all greeted in advance, and it was confirmed that the Yan people dared to sit here in such a grandiose manner without artillery carriages.

What makes Zhao Guanjia slightly dissatisfied is that,

There is only tea and no chessboard here.

Just like an actor who has extremely high standards for his acting skills, even a little flaw makes him feel very unhappy.

Both sides have set up the stage,

The horns are also in place,

under,

The gong should be played, and the drum should be played.

Li Fusheng waved his arm,

The banner soldiers in the rear responded immediately and conveyed the order of the main general.

next moment,

From both sides of the Yan army's formation, a large number of dry people were driven forward. They held swords and spears in their hands, and they were wearing their original clothes.

Zheng Fan pursed his lips. The blind man had reminded himself of this situation a long time ago. Filling the moat with Ganren's life to consume Qianren's defense capital is a common method on the battlefield.

The soldiers on the city wall were in an uproar and began to scold the Yan people for being shameless.

Emperor Qian, who was sitting there watching the battle, immediately became gloomy when he saw that the swarming crowd turned out to be his own people.

"Let the arrow!"

"Let the arrow!"

The defenders of the city had no benevolence for women, and when they discovered that the people below were already erecting ladders, they immediately issued an attack order.

For a moment, the arrows fell like locusts, and the people below suffered heavy casualties.

They instinctively wanted to retreat, but the Yan army knights cruising around immediately drove them back.

Immediately afterwards,

The second wave of people in 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 trying to restrain his reaction.

The people who can live in Gyeonggi must have a great relationship with this upper capital city. Even many family members of the Qianguo defenders live outside the city. A pawn is an arrow shot down while crying hot tears.

Li Fusheng just closed his eyes slightly, tapping lightly on the saddle with his fingertips, yes, he was enjoying this moment, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

Although Zheng Fan knew that to be a general, he had to be cold-blooded enough, but seeing Li Fusheng enjoying himself in it, he still felt a little tongue-tied.

The commander-in-chief who said a long time ago that he would stop the killing in his heart when he needed it was not bluffing.

The next group of Qian people who were driven forward didn't even have swords and guns. They could only pick up the swords and guns beside the dead people in front of them. In fact, the ladder had been destroyed long ago.

On the city wall, Emperor Qian had already got up and left. He came here to watch his army fight the Yan people, but the scene in front of him made him very undignified as an emperor.

Because the people under the city are also his people, this scene is tantamount to slapping him in the face.

After seeing the Jinwu 纛旓 leave from the city wall,

Li Fusheng smiled slightly,

It seems that he just finished listening to a concert. The previous him was immersed in the edification of art.

"ah………"

Li Fusheng yawned,

Made a gesture of turning back,

The orderly behind him quickly conveyed the order,

immediately,

The Yan army began to call for money to withdraw.

From the beginning to the end, no one in the phalanx composed of Yan people tried to rush up to seize the city. Everyone watched from the side, and then turned back to the camp together when they reached the point.

After returning to the camp, Li Fusheng went directly to his tent, and at the same time ordered that unless there was a military situation, he would not see anyone, anyone here, including Zheng Fan.

Zheng Shoubei returned to the camp where his subordinates were, and the big guys were already cooking.

The demon kings sit together,

Xue Sanxian said:

"What are you going to do today?"

The blind man didn't answer, and neither did Liang Cheng. They didn't answer because they didn't know either.

"He changed his mind temporarily." Zheng Fan said.

Li Fusheng, who had vowed to attack the city last night and might even personally lead the vanguard to attack the city wall, looked extremely quiet and peaceful today.

There must be some factors that prompted Li Fusheng's change today.

At last the blind man spoke;

"It looks like the troops are about to withdraw."

Liang Cheng shook his head and retorted:

"If the troops are to be withdrawn, the notice must have been issued by now, but it has not yet. It 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 puzzled as to what the Yanren were playing.

at night,

The blind man walked to the tent where Liang Cheng was. At the same time, he was a little dissatisfied and said:

"I called you to come here, why do you still ask me to come here?"

Liang Cheng said:

"Aren't you afraid that it will be inconvenient for you?"

The blind man and the little daughter-in-law are now living in a tent.

"hehe."

Mind force opened the curtain, revealing A Ming inside, the blind man said:

"I'm also afraid that it will be inconvenient for you two."

Liang Cheng and Ah Ming lived in the same tent.

The blind man leaned over and entered the tent.

Liang Cheng picked up the water bag, ready to pour water for the blind man.

The blind man quickly 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 this water bladder has been filled with before.

"What's the matter?" Liang Cheng asked.

The blind man took out a letter from his pocket and said:

"This is a letter sent by Wen Sutong."

"He can actually send it out."

Now that the army is in turmoil, if you want to send a letter, Nan Dou is not small.

"When I left, I left him two smart people."

Since he is from Green Willow Fort, even if he encounters Yan Jun on the way to deliver the letter, nothing will happen.

"However, two people delivered the letter together, and one was folded."

The price of this letter is really quite high.

There is no way around this. At any time, the smooth flow of information channels is extremely important. Even if a few knights are sacrificed for this, the blind man thinks it is worth it.

"What did you say in the letter?" Liang Cheng asked.

"I talked about the situation in Chuzhou City, and the situation is basically calm. According to what the Lord said, the Emperor Qian should have indeed issued a decree to prohibit the three armies from returning to aid, so Chuzhou City is still in our hands. Steadily be a puppet army."

"Um."

"However, one thing that makes me feel very strange is that there is another thing added at the end of the letter."

"explain."

"Wen Sutong once sent people to contact the surrounding area to persuade other city defenders in Chu County to surrender, but with little success."

"As expected."

Although Chu County has been trampled by the Yan army, it is still far away from passing the call. After all, the soldiers and horses from the three sides of the Qian Kingdom have not returned. The northern officials will be desperate because of this, so that except for a few steadfast factions, the rest will either flee to the south or surrender directly to Dayan.

"Wen Sutong is an old fox, he didn't speak clearly, but I saw what he meant."

"Needless to say, anyway, both of you, grandson and son-in-law, are foxes."

The blind man directly skipped Liang Cheng's ridicule,

Opened the mouth and said:

"Wen Sutong's sending people to inform the whole territory of Chu County is actually a kind of investigation. In the letter, he said that apart from Chuzhou City, which is the route our army and horses passed, there are also several towns in the west of Chu County. I was once attacked by my Yan army, and the Yan army continued to go south after supplying supplies and grass here."

Hearing this, Liang Cheng's face suddenly became serious. Obviously, he realized the hidden message here.

"That road, judging from the marching direction, should be Li Bao's team."

Liang Cheng nodded and said, "It's indeed them, so here comes the problem."

"Yes, here comes the problem. As a descendant, Wen Sutong didn't dare to blatantly ask about our military planning intentions. He could only mention it in this way. However, he did help us a lot."

"Yes, a reassurance."

Next to him, A Ming, who had been dozing in the tent, was a little dissatisfied:

"Hey, I'm the only outsider in the tent, what's the point of playing riddles when you talk?"

Liang Cheng turned his head to look at A Ming, pointed to the letter in the blind man's hand, and said:

"The meaning is very simple, that is, the 200,000 main force led by the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Jingnan Army has disappeared."

"It's gone?" A Ming was a little puzzled, subconsciously said: "It should be hidden?"

"Chu County is basically a plain, and even mountains are rare. There are 200,000 troops, people plus horses, a total of hundreds of thousands of living creatures, how can it be completely hidden.

Before entering Chu County, Li Fusheng's team was separated from the main force, and we also knew that there was another team going south like us, that is Li Bao's team.

But the problem is that after leaving Chu County, only these two teams were fighting each other, and the main force did not show up. "

"Hey, didn't you guys say to hide there and wait for the reinforcements from the country?"

Liang Cheng shook his head and said:

"But there is a problem, you have to know, with a 200,000 army, plus so many horses, people eat the horses and chew the food, the daily consumption of food, grass and luggage is an astronomical figure.

Judging from Wen Sutong's letter, in the entire Chu County, except for us and Li Bao, two soldiers who broke through the town in order to obtain supplies, the rest of Chu County did not have the kind of situation where wolves rushed in. "

A Ming was silent.

The blind man licked his lips and said, "Interesting, interesting."

"It's really interesting. Emperor Qian saw through Dayan's plan early on, so from the very beginning, he ordered the three sides to prohibit one soldier from going south, intending to trap Yan's cavalry group in this way.

But in the end, only Li Fusheng's half-armed army and Li Bao's half-armed army fought from beginning to end. In total, there may be only 60,000 horses.

And the 200,000 cavalry main force led by Zhenbeihou and Jingnanhou,

but,

Disappeared……"
