Chapter 934: The Empty City Plan

The defenders were still eating dry food at the top of the city. When they saw the northern army approaching, someone shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"It's early!"

The old pawn was sitting on the ground, eating dry biscuits slowly, squinting his eyes, watching the rising sun shine on the city.

Looking at it very greedily.

The warnings were ignored, everyone should rest and rest, and should be in a daze...

Everyone knows that today is probably the last day.

The singing last night lasted for a long time, making them unable to fall asleep. When they closed their eyes, their minds were full of hometown and the appearance of their relatives.

What should I do next?
A person takes a breath, and when the breath is exhausted, the whole person collapses.

Therefore, many officials who returned home after leaving their posts seemed to have aged ten years overnight, because of that qi.

The northern army is approaching.

"Wait until they finish their formation, and wait for the trebuchet to be in place..."

The old pawn took a bite of the dry biscuits and chewed them slowly, as if he wanted to taste every trace of the aroma of wheat.

"Enemy attack!"

someone shouted.

"Enemy girl!"

The old soldier scolded.

"Enemy attack!"

This time it was screaming.

The old pawn heard footsteps, and countless people were running.

He turned his head slowly, looking out from the battlement opening.

There is a mass of Northern Xinjiang troops running.

The crossbowmen ran crookedly, but roughly maintained their formation.

The crossbowmen are in position.

Pull the string, install the arrow...

"Enemy attack!"

The old pawn screamed and sprayed the crumbs out of his mouth.

Xiao Hongde's face was ashen as he walked up the wall.

He has been played again.

Soon the northern army rushed to the top of the city.

A more tragic strangulation battle than yesterday has begun.

The northern border army rushed upwards frantically, and no one retreated.

"Tell them, either die on the top of the city, or rush into the city and take meritorious service!"

Pei Jian's order made everyone have no way out.

One by one, the northern border troops rushed to the top of the city. They gathered together, rushed left and right, and rushed forward.

"Stable!"

A general howled miserably and turned around to call for help.

Xiao Hongde saw a sergeant of the Northern Xinjiang Army swinging a knife, the general fell to the ground, and then he was stepped on his chest so hard that his chest could be seen collapsed with the naked eye.

crazy!

The morale of the defenders continued to decline under such blows.

"Xiangwen, go to the reserve team!"

The general beside him begged.

Xiao Hongde nodded, the reserve team joined the battle group, and the city was in chaos.

"It's a mess!"

Pei Jian approached the city to command.

The fighting soon became intense.

The crossbow array began to extend its attack, and occasionally accidentally injured its own people, but they were all ignored.

"The enemy reserve is coming up."

Captain Zhenwei Zeng Guang said, "Do you want reinforcements?"

There are still 3000 reserve teams behind, and Pei Jian is as good as a follower, "Go to [-] people."

These three thousand cavalry were cavalry. They got off their horses and mixed in with the attacking crowd.

At the top of the city, the two armies strangled each other, and the cheers of the northern army could be heard from time to time.

Soon, those cheers were silenced by the enemy reserve.

The two sides rushed repeatedly, and after more than an hour, the morale of the defenders gradually declined.

The shouting and singing last night made these powerful Beiliao soldiers lose their fighting spirit.

Pei Jian saw it.

Xiao Hongde also saw it.

Peng Zhi risked his life and rushed to the top of the wall. "Xiangwen, bring back those people who were looking at Zhao Duola!"

"No!"

Xiao Hongde shook his head, "The old man still has horses in his hands."

He ordered: "Open the gates on both sides of the city, and prepare for...a surprise attack!"

Peng Zhi said: "Three thousand riders?"

Xiao Hongde nodded.

"There are still three thousand enemy troops," Peng Zhi said.

"Unexpectedly, he's too late!" Xiao Hongde sneered, "He only has [-] cavalry left, if he dares to mobilize those [-] cavalry to intercept them, the old man's cavalry will desperately go around them and go straight to Zhou Jian."

Capture the thief and capture the king!

What Xiao Hongde wants is a surprise attack!

The gates on both sides opened, and the cavalry were excited.

The Northern Frontier Army is now gathered under the city. It only needs to be hit from both sides, and they will collapse in an instant.

The gate of the city opened, and the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army monitoring outside blew the horn.

"Assault!"

There was a loud clatter of hooves.

The faces of the generals in the Northern Xinjiang Army changed slightly.

Only a few generals and Jiang Cunzhong took a deep look at Pei Jian.

"Enemy raid!"

But Pei Jian was indifferent.

"Pei Langjun!" Zeng Guang was restless, "Being reinforcements."

"No need to say more." Pei Jian looked at the top of the city and said, "Assemble!"

Oh oh oh!
With the sound of the horn, two infantry groups gathered from the army of hedgehogs gathered under the city, blocking the two wings.The three thousand cavalry rushed out and ran towards their horses as if flying.

"The so-called surprise attack must be successful if the opponent is unprepared." Pei Jian said, "I have been guarding against this move since the first day of attacking the city."

In the siege team, there is a group of people who are not moving. The task is to guard against the enemy's surprise attack from both sides.

[-] riders on each side came around from the side.

They were all dumbfounded when they saw the neat line of pawns waiting.

The opponent is ready, what is the surprise?
Moreover, those 3000 people have already started to mount their horses.

Withdraw, or continue to rush?
At the top of the wall, Xiao Hongde looked calm, "Come on!"

Drums!
Three thousand cavalry rushed up from both sides without hesitation.

"Decisive!"

Pei Jian praised.

Jiang Cunzhong knew that this was the final attack.

Three thousand cavalrymen were bloodied in the infantry array, and the crossbow array shifted direction, and waves of crossbow arrows caused them heavy casualties.

Then the cavalry outflanked...

They're all blooming!
"Reinforcement!"

Xiao Hongde looked back into the distance, "Lin Jun, it's time to come!"

……

The sound of hoofbeats shook the wilderness.

The cavalry who couldn't see their heads at a glance rolled up clouds of smoke and dust.

"Shut up!"

Lin Jun reined in his horse and raised his hand.

Afterwards, the sound of horseshoes gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.

"The scouts should be back!"

Lin Jun took out the water bag and took a sip of water.

Shen Changhe said: "This place is only more than [-] miles away from Chengyang. The scouts of the Northern Frontier Army are probably right ahead. Our scouts have to go around..."

Lin Jun said: "It's okay to be alarmed, scouts from Taizhou and other places are here, who would doubt it?"

Da da da!
More than ten riders came from afar, all dressed as shepherds.

"They're back."

A scout pretending to be a shepherd approached, "My lord, the Northern Frontier Army is besieging Chengyang City!"

"Both Jianshui City and Jinshan City are lost?"

Shen Changhe took a breath.

"Yes."

"Continue." Lin Jun glanced at Shen Changhe.

"I waited for the sentry all the way to avoid the scouts of the three Northern Border Army. Going forward, I can see more troops. The villain dared not go any more, so he came back."

"There are no troops from the Neizhou Army, no troops from Taizhou. Obviously, Yang Xuan has completely surrounded Chengyang City and is attacking with all his strength." Shen Changhe regained his staff's calmness, "The most important thing at this moment is to judge whether Chengyang City is still safe or not." How long can we hold on. If it is easy, then the old man thinks that we can rest nearby and wait in hiding."

If it is in jeopardy, then there is nothing to say, and it is time to strike with all your might.

"How many scouts are there in the Northern Border Army?" Lin Jun asked.

The scout said: "More than a hundred riders."

Lin Jun got off his horse and walked slowly.

Shen Changhe was stunned, and immediately followed.

"If Xiao Hongde is capable, then he will continue to send scouts out of the city to test and make surprise attacks to attract the ideas of the northern border army, which will boost the morale of the defenders. If so, the scouts of the northern border army will have to say at least three or four hundred horses before they dare to come out to post. Investigate, otherwise it will be impossible to intercept the assault in the city."

Shen Changhe said: "What the envoy said is that if this is the case, more than a hundred cavalry from the northern border army dare to come out to watch, this is..."

"Yang Xuan is more than capable."

Lin Jun said: "And his scouts are scattered so far away, it shows that he didn't pay attention to Chengyang City, and he was wary of possible reinforcements."

"Yang Xuan has a trebuchet in his hand. If so, Chengyang City may not be able to hold it for a few days."

"No, two days at most."

"Then, it's the right time to make a surprise attack at this moment."

Shen Changhe felt that the timing was good. When the Northern Xinjiang Army was in high spirits, [-] cavalry from the Tanzhou Army suddenly appeared.

Gee!

In the city, Xiao Hongde opened the door and attacked.

In this battle, the flowers can be played.

"Wait!" Lin Jun shook his head.

"My lord, I said it was two days, but I can't tell clearly about the battle! I can't say, I was defeated in half a day."

"I'm waiting for Chengyang City to break!"

Shen Changhe was shocked.

"If that's the case, why should I lead the army here?" Lin Jun expressed his doubts for him.

Shen Changhe smiled dryly.

"Chengyang City is broken, and the Northern Frontier Army must be full of ambitions. At this moment, our Tanzhou Army's [-] cavalry raided. I am [-]% sure that it will succeed."

"What about the remaining [-]%?"

"What do you rely on in battle? Soldiers use their lives, and the general commands properly. It also depends on the weather and terrain. These can be controlled. The only thing that cannot be controlled is God's will!"

Shen Changhe admired him, but another worry arose in his heart, "After all, Xiao Hongde is one of our people, and we are here to stop and do nothing to save us...the blame from Ning Xing afterward may be overwhelming!"

"After learning that Yang Xuan sent troops to Neizhou, I could have dispatched troops two hours earlier, but I delayed it until the evening on the grounds of preparing dry food. When I arrived here, I stopped and prepared to sit back and watch Xiao Hongde's defeat. Do you think it's an internal strife?"

"Don't dare."

Shen Changhe said that he didn't dare, but he felt that it was roughly the same in his heart.

"Xiao Hongde, you have already surrendered to the emperor!"

Shen Changhe's heart trembled, "It's so?"

Lin Jun turned around, "As early as half a year ago, our people discovered that Zhao Duola and Yingwei were wooing Xiao Hongde. If someone wooed you, what would you do?"

"Naturally, I must inform the envoy."

"But Xiao Hongde has an ambiguous attitude."

Understood!
Shen Changhe let out a long breath, "So it's a rebel!"

But there is only one possibility to know such secret information, Xiao Hongde has someone from Lin Ya by his side.

Place eyeliner next to my sister-in-law...

Shen Changhe thought about his side, then smiled dumbly.

The old man is just an aide, so he can't do anything wrong.

"Actually, I can also help." Shen Changhe couldn't let go of Chengyang after all.

"Chengyang is not the most important thing."

Lin Jun was calculating the time.

An hour later, another group of scouts came back.

"The number of scouts from the Northern Border Army suddenly increased."

Lin Jun, who was resting, stood up, "Chengyang probably won't be able to hold on anymore, now that the Northern Xinjiang army is full of ambition, it's the right time. Gather!"

Twenty thousand cavalry assembled.

Lin Jun said: "Attack!"

After traveling more than five miles, we encountered scouts from the Northern Border Army.

"Enemy reinforcements!"

The scouts shouted and turned around and ran.

Teams of rangers began to outflank from the left and right.

"Unstoppable!"

Lin Jun rushed over from the edge of the scout battle with his subordinates.

What he needs is a surprise attack.

The complacent Northern Border Army was waiting to reap the fruit of Chengyang. Twenty thousand cavalry suddenly appeared.

With the sound of hoofbeats, they quickly swept across the wilderness.

"quick!"

Lin Jun kept urging his subordinates.

The scouts of the northern border army in front became more and more dense.

"Don't worry about them!"

Now they are only seven or eight miles away from Chengyang City, even if the scouts go back to warn them, it will be too late.

What is siege warfare?
The army of hedgehogs gathered under the city, attacking the city in turn.

At such a time, it is difficult to retreat, let alone gather and line up...

Shen Changhe looked back.

In the eyes, everyone's cheeks flushed with excitement.

Everyone knows that this battle will go down in history.

Neizhou was lost, but as long as Yang Xuan's army was defeated in this battle, it would be able to regain it calmly.

He could even take Nangui City back without any hassle.

This battle!
It will be spread all over the world!

Someone couldn't help shouting: "We must win!"

"Definitely!"

Amid the cheers, the morale was like a rainbow.

The terrain ahead is slightly raised, like a small slope.

But the slope is not big, you can rush over.

The cavalry in front was accelerating, ready to take advantage of the momentum to rush up the small slope.

On the other side of Xiaopo, a person suddenly appeared.

Then, the man kept going up and saw a war horse...it was a cavalryman.

"Enemy scout!"

someone shouted.

It stands to reason that the scouts should retreat when they see the army.

But he was uncharacteristically dodging to one side.

The cavalry were like magic tricks, coming up continuously.

Then spread out to both sides, revealing a passage.

"Stop!"

The Chinese army sent a general order, and the cavalry reined in their horses.

Lin Jun came up.

On the small slope, thousands of cavalry lined up.

Everyone is looking at the aisle in the middle.

A ride up slowly.

A big flag followed.

The flag bearer struggled to hold the flag high.

The north wind blew, and the flag fluttered.

A large character shines brightly in the sun...

"It's Yang Ziqi!"

someone exclaimed.

Yang Xuance rode to the front, looked at the size of the enemy army, and suddenly smiled.

"Tanzhou Lin Jun!"

Lin Jun's expression was solemn, and he couldn't see any joy or anger.

"Northern Border Yang Xuan!"

He never expected that Yang Xuan would appear here.

Moreover, there are only thousands of cavalry around.

He counted it all.

It just didn't count that Yang Xuan would really put aside the war and come here to make soy sauce.

Shen Changhe was short of breath, "Emissary, let's attack!"

If Yang Gou could be killed, the situation would change in an instant.

The northern border without Yang Xuan's rule will inevitably be in chaos. Lin Jun can even integrate the surrounding troops and go straight to the northern border.

"What's behind Xiaopo?"

Lin Jun said quietly.

Shen Changhe said: "Yang Xuan is good at ambushes and has succeeded many times..."

Now it's a gamble.

Bet on whether there is an ambush after Xiaopo.

If there is, then, evacuate.

If not, it is time to attack decisively.

Yang Xuan pointed at Lin Jun with a whip, "People say that Lin Jun is a famous general in the Northern Liao Dynasty. Now I have thousands of riders here, why don't I dare to fight?"

Twenty thousand riders are silent.

Yang Xuan chuckled, "You bitch slave!"

This is scolding!

Lin Jun suddenly turned his horse around.

"withdraw!"

The [-] cavalry left immediately.

Yang Xuan on the small slope looked back at the other side.

Empty!
