Chapter 473                                                             

Through this battle, the Zhou army learned about the undead army in the Xifan army and the terrifying elephant soldiers.

The Xifan Army knew about Huaishan Fortress and Anshan Fortress.

They thought Huaian City was just an isolated city, but they were very wrong.

In the mountains on both sides of Huaian City, there are still two fortresses stationed in heavy troops, forming a junction with Huaian City.

If these two fortresses cannot be pulled out first, it will be difficult for the Xifan army to concentrate on attacking Huaian City.

In Huaian City.

Zhou Jun commander's account.

Li Yu sat in the middle, Liang Ping, Shen Lue and the generals sat on both sides.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit solemn, quiet and silent.

In today's battle, I was about to defeat the Xifan army, but I was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the elephant soldiers, and everyone was in a very depressed mood.

Liang Pi took the lead and said, "As long as the Xifan army has elephant soldiers, our army will not be able to leave the city to fight the Xifan army head-on!"

The elephant soldiers don’t even have to participate in the war directly. They just stand on the battlefield and their deterrence is amazing.

Liang Ping frowned.

He also witnessed the lethality shown by the elephant soldiers on the battlefield today.

When elephant soldiers face cavalry, their advantages are overwhelming. If they face infantry, the result can be imagined.

The old general said meaningfully: "Your Highness, what I am most worried about is that the Xifan army uses elephant soldiers to attack Huaian City!"

He said what the generals were most worried about.

Although the elephant soldiers are bulky and not very mobile, once they advance, they are really too sharp to be regarded as sharp.

Once the Xifan Army throws the elephant soldiers into the siege and uses the elephant soldiers to hit the city gate, how long can the Huaian City gate resist?

Li Yu said meaningfully: "If we want to defeat the Xifan army, we must destroy the Xiang soldiers first!"

The generals looked at each other, and their faces showed bitter smiles.

It’s not easy to destroy the Elephant soldiers in the Xifan Army!

Our side has no effective means to deal with elephant soldiers.

Guan Ying said: "I have to kill a war elephant! The weakness of the war elephant lies in its lower abdomen and head. As long as it can severely damage these two parts of the war elephant, it can be killed!"

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads secretly.

Among the 500,000 soldiers on our side, only one Guanying was crowned.

Can you ask all soldiers to be like Guanying, who can avoid the sweeping of the elephant's trunk, avoid the trampling of the elephant's legs, and successfully get under the elephant's body?

This is simply unrealistic.

Li Yu rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time. He asked quietly: "General Chen!"

"I'm here!"

Chen Fang immediately bowed and bowed.

"If you were the head coach of the Xifan Army, what will you do next?"

"this……"

"But it's okay!"

"Before the large-scale attack on Huaian City, I will pull out the two nails of Huaishan Fortress and Anshan Fortress with all my strength!"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes! Today's battle exposed Huaishan Fortress and Anshan Fortress, but the effect was minimal!"

When the generals heard this, they all lowered their heads.

The two cavalry of Huaishan Fortress and Anshan Fortress did indeed have miraculous results. They unexpectedly attacked them and cooperated with 30,000 border troops to defeat ten legions of the Xifan Army.

But who would have thought that at the most critical moment, the Xifan Army actually sent war elephant soldiers to defeat its own cavalry.

Li Yu took a deep breath and continued: "Huaishan Fortress and Anshan Fortress are crucial to Huaian City. In any case, the Xifan army cannot be allowed to capture these two fortresses. Tomorrow, we will send 20,000 additional capital troops to Anshan Fortress, and then transport some food, grass and supplies to the place."

Chen Fang nodded and replied: "Yes! Your Highness!"

Guan Ying couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what about... Huaishan Fortress?"

Li Yu said seriously: "At present, there is only so much food and supplies stored in Huaian City. After being transported to Anshan Fortress, there is no more energy to transport to Huaian Fortress!"

Guanying's face was solemn and her brows were furious.

Gao Tu and Qin Shengying guarded Huaishan Fortress.

Meng Liao was guarding the Anshan Fortress.

Compared with Gao Tu and Qin Shengying, Meng Liao is undoubtedly Li Yu's confidant.

After all, Gao Tu and Qin Shengying both turned from the Xingwang Mansion.

Now His Highness is giving people, food and supplies to Anshan Fortress, but if you don’t give anything to Huaishan Fortress, it would be too favorable to be one or the other, and it would be difficult to convince the public!

Not only Guan Ying thinks that way, but everyone else thinks so too.

But no one could say much about Li Yu's arrangement.

After the meeting ended, Lu Fang did not leave immediately, but stayed.

After everyone was almost gone, Lu Fang said bluntly: "Your Highness, I think General Gao and General Qin will be more useful to Your Highness in the future!"

If we had to choose between Gao Tu, Qin Shengying and Meng Liao, Lu Fang would definitely choose Gao Tu and Qin Shengying.

The ability of these two men to lead troops and manage troops is obviously higher than that of Meng Liao.

The two of them had definitely had much greater effect on Li Yu than Meng Liao.

Li Yu looked at Lu Fang deeply and said, "Real person, for those soldiers who fought bloody battles, I never thought of giving up!"

For Lu Fang and even others, this seemed to be a multiple-choice question, but for Li Yu, this is not the case.

His words made Lu Fang a little confused.

Your Highness sent troops, food, and supplies to Anshan Fortress, but he didn't give anything to Huaishan Fortress. Isn't this obvious that he wants to give up Huaishan Fortress?

Seeing Lu Fang's face appearing in doubt, Li Yu smiled and said, "I have other arrangements for Huaishan Fortress!"

Lu Fang's eyes flashed.

He looked at Li Yu straight, and now, even Lu Fang couldn't understand what Li Yu was thinking and what plan he was doing.

The next day, Huaian City sent a 20,000-strong capital army to transport a large number of food, grass and supplies to Anshan Fortress.

The arrival of 20,000 capital troops increased the strength of Anshan Fortress to 100,000.

The large amount of food, grass and supplies were enough for the 100,000 soldiers of Anshan Fortress to hold on for a month.

As the chief general of Anshan Fortress, Meng Liao was both surprised and happy. He looked in the direction of Huaian City and murmured: "Your Highness is a minister, and he has high hopes!"

The side generals and subordinate generals around him nodded and agreed.

The King of Wu Li Yu, who had high expectations for Meng Liao, had already dressed up as an ordinary soldier and came to Huaishan Fortress.

Gao Tu and Qin Shengying had already heard that His Highness sent troops and food and supplies to Anshan Fortress, but he did not even send a single Mao to their Huaishan Fortress.

Qin Shengying complained to Gao Tu in private that His Highness was too fond of one and did not treat him and his wife as his own.

Gao Tu was very dissatisfied with Qin Shengying's complaints and even scolded her.

As a result, as soon as the couple quarreled, Li Yu suddenly came to their Huaishan Fortress.
