Dart Master

Chapter 639
Ye Jianchao's patience was almost exhausted, and Zuo Mu's death was like a fuse, which completely aroused his anger.

Since the beginning of spring, he has been fighting with three times the military force for more than a month in a small town guarded by only 5000 people, but he has not been able to take it down until now, which makes him very depressed.

At the same time, Yan Xiaotian, Yan Donglou and his son sent envoys to urge and scold him every three days, which even made him lose face.

You must know that when he left Penglai Pavilion, he promised Yandonglou that he would go to Hu Town within ten days and take down the Bai family.But now the five thousand soldiers and horses are like a mountain, unbreakable.

In the next two days, Ye Jianchao personally went to challenge before the pass, but was shot back by random arrows.Repeated sieges of the city were unsuccessful, not to mention the loss of thousands of soldiers, and not even a single brick from the city gate was removed.

I had expected that he would be unable to hold back and attack the city, so I personally boosted morale on the city wall with Bai Ling, and suppressed Ye Jianchao's ferocious aura with the few remaining defensive equipment.

In fact, my side is also at the end of its strength. If he makes a series of fierce attacks, it's really hard to say whether he can hold it.

After being beaten for such a time, Ye Jianchao retreated again. He didn't know how many weapons and ordnance there were in Hu Town. After so many storms, the morale was still strong, which made him hesitant.

And I took advantage of these two days to check the routes around Hu Town.

Lake Town is surrounded by flat rivers, but if you go west for more than [-] miles, there is a small hill. The hill is not very tall, but because the apprentices near the White Lake are extremely fertile, the grass and trees on the hill are extremely lush, enough for a small fight. Small ambush.

Originally, I wanted to use my king's banner to deliberately lure them into the hills, and use tricks to capture Ye Jianchao.

But I obviously underestimated him. Although Ye Jianchao had never fought a big battle, he was a stable person and was highly regarded by Yan Xiaotian. No matter how I arranged suspicious soldiers to lure him, he would not be moved.

I couldn't find a way to get caught for a while, it was not good for us to be dragged, and we didn't have enough troops to fight. The equipment of the Yan family was far superior to that of the soldiers of the Bai family. In a fight, there was not much chance of winning.

I originally wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into Ye Jianchao's barracks and capture this kid directly, but without the support of Mo Luo's blood energy, I can't use the disguise technique, and with my current cultivation base, once I get stuck, it's very difficult to get out alive , I had no choice but to dismiss this idea helplessly.

Due to his old nature, Ye Jianchao also adopted a posture of maintaining stability in the siege of the city, constantly surrounded by soldiers on all sides, surrounded the town of Hu, and wanted to fight a long-term war of trapped beasts.

It is safe for him to do this, no matter how much food and grass, flint, etc. are left in the city, they will be exhausted one day, as long as the siege continues, once the food and grass in the city are cut off, it will inevitably be chaotic and defeated without a fight.

His strategy was undoubtedly correct, but obviously this strategy did not please the Yan family father and son. They were eager to go east, but the door of their house was unable to be opened for a long time, which exhausted their patience.

During this period, I replaced all the Baijia Banners in the city with Wang Banners, and let the opposing army see with great fanfare. At the same time, I ordered the spies to let the wind know that I had personally led the defense of the city.

In this way, Ye Jianchao could be put under pressure, so that he would not dare to attack Jihu Town casually, and at the same time, it would also alert Yan Donglou and his son.

Sure enough, the series of measures I took finally had an effect. Yan Xiaotian sent a collateral descendant of the Yan family to the army to replace Ye Jianchao as commander. word flag.

"King Qin, just received a secret report from scouts outside the city. The Yan family finally couldn't sit still and sent son Yan Lei to replace Ye Jianchao as commander." Bai Chong walked into the big tent and said happily.

When I heard it, I hurriedly asked, "How is Young Master Lei?"

Bai Chong said: "I have dealt with Yan Lei before. He is the son of Yan Hong, the elder of the Yan family. He has some status in the Yan family. He is usually a playboy. He is probably sent to the battlefield to be gilded."

Immediately I knew what was going on in my mind, any big family would always have intrigues, even though Yan Xiaotian was the head of the family, there were times when he was helpless.The Yan family also has collateral elders, these people are his right-hand man and control the lifeline of the Yan family, so Yan Xiaotian naturally dare not do everything too extreme.

Therefore, knowing that Yan Lei is an idiot, he was still transferred to the battlefield. If he wins, it will be regarded as a reward for the meritorious service of the elder Yan Hong. If he loses, it is just in the name of strengthening internal centralization.

In comparison, although the Xichuan faction and other generals in the Wangcheng I control have suspicions, they are all within the controllable range.

I asked Bai Chong to sit down and talk, poured him a bowl of wine, Bai Chong drank it, laughed and said: "King Qin doesn't know something, and there is something even more exciting. In front of the soldiers of the three armies, he slacked off and beat Ye Jianchao hard, making him lose face. It is said that Yan Lei is still collecting evidence of Ye Jianchao's collusion with the enemy, and wants to crucify him. It aroused strong dissatisfaction among Ye Jianchao's generals."

"At the time of the great war, these villains are still playing tricks to seize power. It seems that the internal affairs of the Yan family are not at peace. If this continues, they will definitely not be able to work together. The Yan family may be doomed sooner or later." I sneered.

"It's our turn, let him hang out for two days, and wait for their internal troubles to get worse. After two days, Yan Lei can't sit still, and he will advance aggressively for greed. fight him."

Bai Chong said happily: "The last general takes orders."

Bai Ling walked into the big tent with fruits and vegetables, saw my face was happy, sat down beside me, and relaxed his eyebrows and eyes: "Brother Hurt, why are you so festive."

"Girl, within five days, the crisis in Huzhen will be resolved." I hugged her shoulders, hugged her lightly, and said happily.

"You, I think you are almost as mature as my second brother." Bai Ling leaned sweetly in my arms and said coquettishly. She has grown a lot in the front line these days, but when she is with me in private , but still a little bird.

"Come on, let's go up to the city wall and have a look." Bai Ling and I walked up the city wall holding hands, but saw that the main tent of the Chinese army on the opposite side was brightly lit, and we could faintly hear the sound of silk and bamboo.

Looking at the mourning and low morale in the Yan army, it is no wonder that old people often say that good generals are hard to find. A good commander can bring out an army like steel, and at the same time, a mediocre leader can destroy an army in an instant.

After two days of drying out, the morale of the Yan army became more and more exhausted, and Ye Jianchao was completely pushed out. Anyone under him who complained for the general was whipped.

Yan Lei has always been used to being domineering and domineering, and he prides himself on trampling people under his feet, so he doesn't care about the soldiers' thoughts, drinking and having fun every day as usual.

What's even more frightening is that he didn't know that he was a waste. He was the commander in chief of the army for the first time, and his joy was beyond words. Finally, on the third day, when all the soldiers complained, he ordered a fierce attack on Huzhen .

Ye Jianchao is an honest and loyal general who puts the overall situation first in everything, but the generals under him are not. Everyone is angry, their hearts are exhausted, and they fight with no effort.

Instead, he hoped that it would be best for Yan Lei to lose a complete defeat, and then see his head fall to the ground as the coach, but this is undoubtedly a naive idea.

The Yan family attacked the city again like tigers and wolves. I knew I had to hold on this time, so I immediately encouraged the soldiers in the city to resist desperately.

Due to the disparity in morale and the generals at all levels passively responded to the battle, the Yan army fought all day, but still failed to defeat them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of joy from the Yan army. I looked around and saw a nobleman in a white cloak standing on a chariot, dancing and dancing. I was very excited.

"Who is that?" I asked.

Bai Chong squinted his eyes and said, "King Qin, it seems to be Mr. Lei."

"It's interesting, this person is really a talent born to die." I shook my head and smiled.

Yan Lei actually boarded the chariot himself and moved the Chinese army's tent forward several miles.What's even more ridiculous is that while he was watching the battle in a chariot, he was still accompanied by dancers and musicians, as if he was watching a wonderful drama.

This made Yan Jun's soldiers even more chilling, as if they were acting clowns.

At sunset, after a whole day of fighting, both sides were exhausted, and Yan Lei was tired of watching, and wanted to withdraw.
