Chapter 458: Two-pronged approach
"It's true that we have to survive by robbery!" Listening to Luo Lei's crying, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile. More than 3,000 defeated soldiers and hundreds of cavalry, even if the Eastern Army is lucky and good at fighting, what can I do? After escaping thousands of miles, I still have a few percent of my original combat power.
"Wait, three days later, the end of the Eastern Army!" Zhou Yu's eyes were a little confused. Yesterday, Tan Feng's flying horse came from the Pegasus, and the news of the peace talks between Donghu made Zhou Yu a little surprised. The opponent's conditions were so relaxed that Zhou Yu couldn't believe his eyes. Not to mention anything else, it would be a good thing for tens of thousands of soldiers to survive.
Taking a two-pronged approach, the two groups sent troops together to clean up Gao Yuan, the incident in Dayan perfectly came to an end.
During the anxious waiting, three days seemed to be as long as three years. When the sun rose from the horizon on the third day, in Dayanzhou, on Dayan Ridge, 10,000 permanent troops of Yan State were already on high alert. Three thousand infantry set up formations from the front to block the attack. Three thousand infantry ambushed on Dayan Ridge. As soon as the Eastern Army entered the ambush area, they would quickly attack on the ridge and block the retreat of the Eastern Army. Beside these infantry were one thousand cavalrymen in the Yan army and the Helian division, and the five hundred cavalry gathered by the Buyi tribe. They would use the terrain from the ridge to launch a powerful impact on the Eastern Army. Another two thousand troops were lying in the dense forest of Dayan Prefecture, preparing to attack the Eastern Army on the side, and Zhou Yu led another 2,000 people as reserve teams to prepare for emergency situations.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available.
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, faced the sun, and stared at the horizon in the distance.
Some black dots appeared in his vision. Zhou Yu's heart beat, but immediately returned to peace. The long wait finally came to fruition, and the joy flashed by.
Dozens of cavalry and provocateurs rushed over immediately. Seeing the rippling blue waves of wild goose lake, these cavalry cheered and rushed towards the lakeside. They flew off their horses, rushed to the lakeside, sucked water with their hands, and splashed on their faces. Countless water droplets shone with five colors of light under the sunlight.
After playing for a while, the cavalry turned on their horses again. They ran to the distance with laughter and looking at the direction they were heading away, Zhou Yu grinned, and her white teeth shone brightly in the sun.
An hour later, a black line appeared in everyone's sight, on the Big Geese Ridge. It was still silent, but the heavy breathing sound suddenly became heavier.
As we got closer and closer, the tall flag shone brightly in the sun. Under the banner, a tall general rode his horse. As he looked around, his majesty appeared, and Zhou Yu slowly grasped the hilt of the knife.
Judging from the other party's situation, it was similar to what Lore described. Although it looked neat, everyone was dressed in a mess, and the spirit of the entire army seemed a little depressed.
Zhou Yu stared at his opponent calmly. He had seen the speed of the response and courage of the East Army with his own eyes. Such an army, even if it is now a sick cat, may still jump into a ferocious tiger when it is on the verge of despair, and the injured tiger is undoubtedly even more terrifying.
To kill chickens, he also needs to use a ox knife, not to mention that he is not facing a chicken, but a wounded wolf.
The Eastern Army finally stepped into its ambush circle. Seeing the clear water, the somewhat bleak army finally cheered. Looking at the cheering Eastern Army, Zhou Yu's eyes uncontrollably appeared in his eyes. Even in this way, the Eastern Army did not disperse its formation. Even though the water was so attractive to them, they still maintained the formation neatness. Everyone's eyes turned around and looked at the lofty under the flying flag.
Gao Yuan stood under the banner and looked at Da Yanling calmly. Then he stretched out his hand and looked at Gao Yuan's gesture. Zhou Yu's calm heart suddenly jumped up.
That's a middle finger!
Gao Yuan raised his arm high, and his middle finger stood up, looking so dazzling.
The other party discovered his ambush! This was Zhou Yu's first reaction. As for how Gao Yuan discovered it, he had no time to worry about it. He stood up and raised his sword high. At the same time, countless war drums sounded and resounded throughout the world, Dayan Ridge and Dayanzhou, and the ambushed was all raised.
Seeing that the East Army of the Conquest began to set up the formation without any panic, Zhou Yu's eyes were even more puzzled, because Gao Yuan was not setting up a defensive formation, but an offensive formation with a font shape.
"Kill!" The first attack was not Zhou Yu's ambush, but the surrounded military army, the first square formation that was used as arrows. All the heavy infantry Mo Dao soldiers walked towards them with heavy steps. The three thousand interceptors walked straight ahead.
They walked very slowly, but every step was full of strength. Hundreds of swords formed a sea of blades, and the sun shone on it, which could shine on the eyes of flowers.
"Cabin, impact!" Zhou Yu shouted sternly. Once the heavy infantry formed a formation and started attacking, the front could be said to be unstoppable, but slow turning and slow changing formation were their fatal weaknesses, while You Ge was seriously insufficient in the number of cavalry in the East Army on both sides of them.
The shouts resounded throughout the entire Yanzhou.
At the same time, outside Jishi City, Tan Feng stared at Jishi City like a monster standing at Jishi Mountain in amazement. He rubbed his eyes hard, almost thinking that he had an hallucination.
From a distance, under the shadow of Jishi Mountain, the city does not seem very tall, but as soon as you get closer, a huge sense of oppression will come to you. The city wall of more than ten meters is much taller than that of Liaoxi City, and its unique shape makes the city without any defensive blind spots.
What is even more amazing is that this city actually has a base, and its smooth slope is several meters long and short. It surrounds the moat of the entire city, and the river flows gurglingly.
Looking up, there seemed to be no one in the city, but in a vague way, you could see countless swords and guns flashing with the sunshine. When you calm down, you could still hear the vague footsteps and shouts.
Tan Feng imagined that he would face a strong camp, but he never thought that he would attack such a strong city and look back at the shocked generals behind him. They all looked desperate on their faces. Whether it was Zhang Junbao and Zhang Zhuo, or Ji Wugui, a general from Tianhe County, they were all well versed in the way of siege and defending the city, and knew what the price the attacker would pay if he wanted to attack such a strong city!
Morale can be boosted and cannot be released! The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. In a flash, Tan Feng's face showed a smile, "Gao Yuan silently. In a short time, he actually built such a city deep in the grassland. It's amazing, amazing!"
He was leisurely and could not see any tension. Ji Wugui did not have such a mentality. "Mr. Tan, if we attack such a city, we are afraid that we will not have enough troops."
"Insufficient troops!" Tan Feng smiled, "This is the point. Look, we are indeed insufficient troops. The two armies combined, and they can count on tens of thousands of people, but what about the other side? How many of them have?"
The whip pointed, "This city is really big, but it is because it is too big that it has become his fatal weakness. How many people did Gao Yuan take away? How many people can they guard this city?"
After a few words from Liao Liao, Ji Wugui, Zhang Junbao, Zhang Zhuo and others all turned bright.
"If this city is small, we may have to pay a significant price, but this city is too big. There may be many young and strong people in the city, but the untrained young and strong people, how can they compare with well-trained soldiers? We will win this battle!" Tan Feng said firmly.
"Commander Tan, our army is willing to be the vanguard and take the lead in attacking!" Zhang Junbao rushed forward excitedly.
Tan Feng smiled and shook his head, "No need, our army is here, let's take a break first. Today we will set up camp and not attack the city. Let's be polite and then soldiers first. Send people to persuade the surrender. If the other party is obsessed with it, it will not be too late to attack."
Several miles away from Jishi City, two camps stood up one on the left and one on the right. Zhang Junbao's Liaoxi Army echoed left and right with Jiwugui's Tianhe County soldiers. The whistle cavalry rode out of the camp and ran around Jishi City, trying to spy on the reality of Jishi City, while more people rushed out of the camp and rushed into the distance.
Since they had never expected that the object they were going to pick up had such a strong city, Tan Feng led two parts, but they didn't bring even a siege equipment. Now they had to choose and use it now, and they couldn't even see a tree near them. If they wanted to build siege equipment, they had to look for wood.
Tan Feng took Ji Wugui, Zhang Junbao, Zhang Zhuo and others to stroll between the camps. In front of them were fields that had just been harvested. New green seedlings had already emerged from clusters of stubble, and the weak leaves swayed in the air with the wind.
Tan Feng squatted down, digging his fingers into the soil, and digging hard. The soil rose up in response. His fingers twisted, and the soil fell down. Staring at the soil in his palm, Tan Feng sighed, "I said, how could there be such a growing crop in this newly cultivated land? Gao Yuan was willing to afford such a large capital?"
"Why is Commander Tan so interested in Niba?" Zhang Junbao came over and asked flatteringly.
Tan Feng glanced at Zhang Junbao and smiled, "It is difficult to have a good harvest in the new land in the first year, but if you look at the stubble, it is obvious that the crops are growing very well, and Gaoyuan actually made people dig up fat mud and buried it underneath."
Zhang Junbao is obviously the kind of young master who is not diligent in four bodies and cannot be divided into grains. Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wugui are much more aware of this. "General Tan, it seems that they have dug up silt from the swamps around Jishi Lake. This Jishi Lake should not have been as large as it is now. The newly added area must have been formed by a large amount of digging of soil."
Tan Feng looked up, looked at the fields that could not see the edge, and sighed, "I'm afraid this is not hundreds of thousands of acres? Even if a mu only produces 100 kilograms, the grain storage in Jishi City will be even tens of millions of kilograms."
