Chapter 374: Battle of Jiyang City (II)

On March 30, the 22nd year of Qianyuan, 250,000 Zhao's army arrived outside Jiyang City under the leadership of Zhao's general Zhang Chuan to set up camp. While camping, Zhang Chuan led a group of generals to observe the city defense of Jiyang City and found that Deng's army had no flaws. Zhang Chuan understood that Deng's army was going to defend to the death. Before coming to Jiyang City, Zhang Chuan had learned from the spies that Yue Fei's main army was still on the road, and there were less than 40,000 Longwu Guards in Jiyang City. Therefore, Zhang Chuan had thought of taking advantage of Yue Fei's arrival to take over Jiyang City first, and then resisting Deng's army with the benefits of the city. However, judging from the current appearance of Jiyang City, Deng's army did not intend to give Zhang Chuan such an opportunity.

Of course, Zhang Chuan can also choose to attack, but the cities guarded by tens of thousands of elite Deng troops cannot be easily broken. If they cannot capture for a long time, they will lose their troops and lose their generals, and their morale will definitely be frustrated. This is very unfavorable for the next battle against Yue Fei. Therefore, Zhang Chuan gave up this idea and chose to wait and see. At the same time, he arranged the camp arrangement taught to him by Zhao Xin back then. However, Zhao Xin's military attainments were so high that Zhang Chuan could only copy Zhao Xin's things and had no way to improve it. Zhang Chuan also knew that Zhao Xin's arrangement had been understood long ago, but he really couldn't come up with a better solution. Now he could only hope that the legacy left by Zhao Xin could help Zhao Junqi win.

In this way, the Deng and Zhao armies confronted Jiyang City in an extremely strange way. On the one hand, they had an absolute advantage but did not dare to attack at will, and on the other hand, although they were at a disadvantage, they still had a strong desire to attack. However, due to Yue Fei's military order, they had to defend to the death until Yue Fei's arrival.

Later, the arrival of the Tiger Wing Guard, Eagle Yang Guard and Lingser Guard made the Deng army's troops catch up with the gap with the Zhao army, which was only a little inferior. However, Li Xiucheng still insisted on Yue Fei's military order and forced himself to fight. Even Xue Rengui, Li Siye and Murong Ke were persuaded by Li Xiucheng. Although Li Xiucheng had the lowest ability, his qualifications were the highest. Murong Ke would not say anything about it. Even Xue Rengui and Li Siye, two people from Deng Sheng's personal army,

In terms of qualifications, they are far inferior to Li Xiucheng. After all, when Xue Rengui and Li Siye were still famous young generals, Li Xiucheng had already led the army alone to take over the western front of Deng Guo. In the entire Deng Guo military, only Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Yanzhang, Zhang Fei and others were able to surpass Li Xiucheng in terms of qualifications. However, Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, and Yang Yanzhao were not in Jiyang City. Wang Yanzhang and Zhang Fei had lower positions than Li Xiucheng, so they could only choose to obey.

On the fourth day of the 22nd year of Qianyuan, on the fourth day of April, Yue Fei led a large army to Jiyang City. At this time, the Deng army finally walked out of Jiyang City and set up camp under the city. After all, the Deng army's strength has exceeded that of the Zhao army, and there is also a top general like Yue Fei and Han Qing, so there is no reason to continue to huddle in the city.

In the Deng army camp and the central tent, Yue Fei sat in the main seat. The first seats on the left and right were Chang Yuchun and Han Qing, followed by a group of generals, followed by the military advisors and generals of each guard. Here, the Deng army can be said to be a gathering of heroes.

The main general Yue Fei

Deputy General Chang Yuchun, Han Qing, Li Siye, Xue Rengui, Qin Lie, Ma Chao, Deng Ai, Murong Ke, Li Xiucheng

Generals Li Cunxiao, Gao Siji, Wang Yanzhang, Wu Yunzhao, Pang De, He Feng, Zhuang Zheng, Zhang Hao, Luo Cheng, Gao Shun, Murong Jun, Huang Deng, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Li Dingguo, Murong Chong, Hua Xiong, Shi Wengong, Gao Changgong, Huan Heng, Wenling, Pang De, Yue Yun

Military advisors Pang Tong, Yao Guangxiao, Kuai Li

With such a strong lineup, both the powerful generals and counselors are the most popular in Deng State in history. With such a lineup and superior military strength, Yue Fei is full of confidence in defeating Zhang Chuan. Even though Zhang Chuan used the same trick that Zhao Xin had dominated the world back then, it was still the same saying that Zhang Chuan was not Zhao Xin.

"Everyone, now we gather together to fight with the Zhao army in Jiyang City. There are 280,000 elite troops of my Great Deng and 250,000 elite troops of the Zhao army on the other side. This battle will definitely change the pattern of the whole world. In the future, I Great Deng can take the lead on the road to unification of the world depends on your performance!" Yue Fei did not arrange too much fighting style, but just boosted morale. Although Zhang Chuan is strong, he is not Zhao Xin, which is not enough to arouse Yue Fei's fear. Moreover, there are two famous generals Han Qing and Chang Yuchun around Yue Fei. It is not easy to fight one Zhang Chuan, let alone a mere Zhang Chuan, even if Zhao Xin is resurrected, Yue Fei is not inferior.

"Don't worry, General, we must do our best to win this battle for Da Deng. Da Deng will win this battle!" Everyone stood up and bowed.

Yue Fei looked at the strong fighting spirit of everyone, and his heart was full of passion, and said, "Send someone to send a letter of war to Zhang Chuan, and I will invite him to fight in three days!"

Since he has the advantage, Yue Fei will certainly not waste it. He directly sent someone to issue a letter of war and asked Zhang Chuan to fight three days later, but that was just to test the strength of the Zhao army. After all, a battle of hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be decided by a single battle. However, Yue Fei is very confident that the one who wins in the end will definitely be his own.

Soon, a messenger walked out of the Deng army camp and went to the Zhao army camp, and delivered the war letter written by Yue Fei to Zhang Chuan.

Holding Yue Fei's battle letter, Zhang Chuan said nothing for a long time. Yue Fei finally came. The final battle is about to begin. Zhang Chuan was afraid of Yue Fei. Since his debut, Yue Fei has killed Fan Yi, fought Zhou Shen, Zhou Kai, and defeated Pang Kuo. His brilliant achievements have never been obtained by Zhang Chuan in his life. Although Zhang Chuan has never fought with Yue Fei, Zhang Chuan, the famous generals such as Fan Yi, Zhou Shen, and Pang Kuo, have also seen their power and can fight against them and remain undefeated. Zhang Chuan asked himself that it is difficult to defeat.

But now Yue Fei's letter of war has arrived, so Zhang Chuan could only bite the bullet and respond. Otherwise, he, the general of Zhao, would have been too cowardly. So as soon as he received Yue Fei's letter of war, Zhang Chuan sent someone to the Deng army camp to send a message to the fight.

After sending people to the Deng Army camp to spread the message, Zhang Chuan summoned all the generals under his command to discuss the matter. This time, Zhang Chuan went south and brought a very powerful lineup, including generals Le Yun, Tu Gao, Chen Kai, Chen Ping, Zheng Tuo, Huangfu Ming, Zhao Qing, Sima Tai, and military advisor Lin Qingfeng. These are all elite soldiers and generals left by Zhao Xin, but compared with Deng Army's all-star lineup, it is really not enough to watch.

"Everyone, Yue Fei sent someone to issue a letter of war and said that I would like to invite me to fight in three days!" Zhang Chuan sat in the main seat and said to everyone in the central army's tent.

Everyone was also excited after hearing this. After coming here for so long, they could finally do a big fight. Obviously, the generals of the Zhao army were still living in Zhao Xin's dream of dominating the world. They had no idea what kind of enemies they were facing now.

However, there are no ones who understand the Zhao army. Military advisor Lin Qingfeng is the only one. Lin Qingfeng frowned and asked Zhang Chuan: "How did the general deal with it!"

"I'm here to fight!" Zhang Chuanshuo said.

"The war is not the best time at this time, I am too impatient!" Lin Qingfeng expressed his optimism about Zhang Chuan's response. Now that the Deng army has broken through three counties in a row, his morale is very strong. It is really unwise to fight with the Deng army at this time.

"I also know that it is not the time, but Yue Fei's letter of war has arrived. I can't avoid fighting, right? If this happens, the morale of the army will probably be greatly affected. Besides, Yue Fei is the one who has the advantage now. He can afford it, but we can't afford it." Zhang Chuan also knew that it is not the best time, but he was helpless. The Deng army occupied the three counties and had achieved great results, so he can slowly and steadily, but the Zhao army is different. Now that Zhao State is besieged by the three kingdoms of Deng, Qin and Chu, if the situation is not opened up as soon as possible and reverse the situation, the Zhao State's situation will be worrying. As for whether it is the time, it is not important, because Zhang Chuan does not know whether there is a time to defeat the Deng army.

"Oh!" Lin Qingfeng sighed. He also knew that Zhang Chuan was helpless. Zhao State is really too difficult now. Lin Qingfeng could not understand why Zhao Xin had passed away less than a year ago. Zhao State, the world's most powerful country that was overwhelming, fell into such a field. Or is Zhao State just an empty shell, and it is entirely supported by Zhao Xin alone. Once Zhao Xin dies, Zhao State will not be able to do it?
