Four hundred and fifty: Return to Xibai (4)

"Hold, hold!" Zhou Fengxue didn't know how many times he shouted this sentence loudly, the last attack on the other side was very violent, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the third horse fence, and then it was the main formation, although Zhou Yizhi began to lead the Yun Tie Army to shrink and surround, but Zhou Fengxue was really worried about whether he could support Zhou Yizhi to defeat the other party after the contraction.

"Sir, you better retreat first, it's already very dangerous here, maybe the Jin cavalry will attack this formation soon. Zhou Qiandai persuaded.

"No, I'll just sit here and wait, and I'll see if they're capable of coming or if I'm better at keeping them in front of the third fence. ”

"I can't live with my own life. ”

"I'm betting I'm the winner. Zhou Yanbo still stayed in the formation leisurely.

Zhou Qiandai knew that he couldn't stop Zhou Yanbo, so he drew out his sword and prepared in advance: "If the Jin cavalry really rushes to the main formation, then the last line of defense is me!"

"Junyu, don't say it so seriously, no. Zhou Yanbo said, "If the other party breaks through the formation, then the first and last lines will definitely be me." ”

Zhou Yanbo won the bet, the Jin cavalry wanted to desperately break through the third horse fence, but gradually seemed powerless, and Zhou Yizhi almost surrounded all the cavalry, if you don't break through, it is definitely a dead end, originally wanted to gather troops to support the Jin cavalry Gao Zhide, but because Xiao Sheng had to give up because of the sneak attack in the back, forced to retreat to Xibai, seeing the main general defeated and retreating, the Jin cavalry who attacked Zhou Yanbo's army also had no will to attack, and retreated everywhere, the first battle was won by Zhou Yanbo, but the damage was not small, Zhou Yanbo could only pass the army through Liangshui borrowed Gao Zhide's camp in Liangshui to rest, and did not pursue Gao Zhide。

"The damage is not small, right?" Zhou Yanbo asked Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan nodded: "It's a little heartache." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Yanbo patted Xiao Yuan's shoulder: "It is their blessing for the Shenhuo Battalion to have a chief military officer like you, don't worry, I can assure you that there will not be such a big loss in the future strategy." ”

"Oh?" Although Xiao Yuan was telling the truth just now, he knew that this was also normal, how could the two armies fight without casualties.

"The fairy lord feels that you are talking a little big. ”

"It's normal for you to think so, I want them to know what a 'ghost military division' is. ”

"I'll see!"

"You go and find a way to turn this camp into a cage first, there will definitely be cavalry coming to play a night attack tonight. ”

"Impossible, right? Although the battle of Liangshui has been fought for almost a day, the other side has nearly 20,000 people against us, and it is estimated that only three or four thousand people have retreated, and they dare to come over because of our combat strength?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled.

"We used about 9,000 people, which can be said to be a complete victory, but we were unable to pursue and defeat three or four thousand people, what will the other party think?" Zhou Yanbo waved his hand, "Think about it, you should also understand." ”

Xiao Yuan's eyes turned: "We are powerless to pursue, and we have to rest." ”

"That's right, you should understand what you're going to do next. Zhou Yanbo said, "Go and prepare, don't focus on the front door, we can think of this, the other party will naturally think of it, so they won't play night attack from the front, if it's me, secretly crossing Liangshui, playing night attack from behind is the best way, whether we are prepared or not, we can do it by surprise, the cavalry of the Jin clan has no problem doing this at all." ”

"Well, I see. Xiao Yuan nodded and went to Zhou Yiyi to settle a solution, but he still muttered a little in his heart: Do you really want to think like what Zhou Yanbo said?

Zhou Yanbo, who was sleeping soundly at night, was woken up by a loud noise, it was the sound of flint guns, and Hu Ji'an walked in shortly after.

"Sir, sir!" said Hu Ji'an, "there was a night attack by the cavalry of the Jin clan in the left rear, but they were ambushed by Chief Officer Xiao and failed. ”

"Got it. Zhou Yanbo nodded and yawned, "Let's talk about something tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Zhou Yanbo lay down and went back to sleep, and the sound of noise and fighting only lasted for a short time before gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Zhou Yanbo woke up the next day, and then heard Xiao Yuan's report, just like Zhou Yanbo said, yesterday there was really a Jin cavalry along Liangshui who tried to attack this camp tent, but fell into the ambush of the Shenhuo camp prepared by Xiao Yuan in advance, but unfortunately the other party saw that there was an ambush, so they all retreated directly, and they didn't love war at all, so even if it was an ambush, Xiao Yuan didn't get any benefit.

"You can't think like that. Zhou Yanbo said, "If we hadn't prepared yesterday, then the cavalry of the Jin clan would have attacked this camp at night without hindrance, and can you estimate our losses at that time?"

Xiao Yuan thought about it and shook his head, if this was the case, the loss would definitely be immeasurable.

"So on the other hand, we've made a lot of profits. As for the other party, it took a night of effort but did not get any benefits. Does that look like we're getting a benefit?"

Xiao Yuan thought about it again, what Zhou Yanbo said was not unreasonable.

"Now that we have controlled Liangshui, the official road to Xibai is no longer barrier-free, so let's prepare to advance to Xibai. ”

"Now?"

"No, wait a while, Roushang should come over with the military forces stationed in Xiao Liangdong, and wait for him to arrive before acting. ”

Less than an hour later, Zhou Zhou led the army to cross Liangshui and Zhou Yanbo to meet, when Zhou Yanbo complained that Zhou Zhou came too slowly, and he was already impatient to wait, Zhou Zhou Zhou smiled slightly, he not only came to meet Zhou Yanbo, but also checked the most important official road they will use in the future, this official road will be the line where grain and grass have been transported by gunpowder, and there can be no danger, Zhou Yanbo can use a surprise attack to destroy Fuyi to force Gao Zhide to attack, then in turn the people of the Jin family may also use it in this way.

……

"Look, fairy lord. This is the consequence of your not marching quickly. After marching to Xibai, Xiao Yuan looked at Xibai in the distance and complained to Zhou Yanbo.

At this time, Xibai City can be described as impregnable, it is difficult for Xibai, which was originally built on a platform, to attack, and now the platforms around Xibai have been built countless arrows, fences, traps and many other defensive obstacles, anyway, if Zhou Yanbo wants to attack head-on, he must be mentally prepared for the annihilation of the whole army.

"This defense is well done, it's like a turtle shell. Zhou Yanbo jokingly said that fortifications like this are typical representatives of excessive defense and inability to attack.

"Don't the other party want to fight?" Zhou Fengxue said.

"They won't go to war, because the reinforcements that are fighting us haven't arrived yet, so ...... Who is defending?" asked Zhou Yanbo.

"Lu Jing is the chief military officer of the Jin family's Liang Xidao. Zhou Qiandai replied.

"A Dao chief military officer?" Zhou Yanbo smiled, "It's a little earned, but it's still not enough, since it may be waiting for reinforcements to come, then the reinforcements should also be a big fish, Junyu, let Luo Yingshe keep an eye on it." ”

"I'm going to tell them. ”

"Also, let Luo Yingshe also thoroughly explore this Xibai, and make the defense look like this, the transportation of grain, grass, and reinforcements is difficult, and there must be a special place to transport materials. ”

"As for this Luo Yingshe, the official roads of the four city gates of Xibai are all unimpeded, which means that any official road can become a road for transporting supplies, but if we insist on attacking from the official road, the arrows and traps on both sides are not long-sighted. ”

"In other words, unless the four gates are sealed, Xibai will have an endless supply of grain and grass?"

"That's right, the other side seems to know that with our fifteen thousand troops, it will be difficult to block the four gates, and once we block the four gates, they can easily break through each from the outside. ”

"From the outside?"

"There are two military villages next to Xibai, Hengshan Castle and Ozawa Castle, plus the three places of Xibai are cornered, and it is not easy to attack. ”

"So how did Zhou Tang capture Xibai when the Yun clan invaded?"

"At the beginning, there was no Ozawa City, only Xibai and Hengshan City, Zhou Tang deliberately made the style of the whole army attacking Hengshan City, forcing Xibai to go to the rescue, and then took the opportunity to take Xibai, he actually played a sound to attack the west, but now it is impossible. ”

"Sound from east to west ......"

"Immortal Lord!" Xiao Yuan shouted to startle Zhou Yanbo's thoughts, "Do you have any good plans?"

"This. Zhou Yanbo said, "Just block the official road of the south city gate directly." ”

"The official road of the South City Gate?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled, "What's the use of just blocking an official road?"

"Then what's the use of us blocking the four official roads, it's still useless to have such scattered troops, so we still haven't thought about using blockade tactics when attacking Xibai. As he spoke, Zhou Yanbo pointed to a place in the distance.

"Do you know what that place is?"

"Peony Peak?" Zhou Qiandai said, "it's just a mountain peak adjacent to Xibai." ”

"But it's worth a lot. Zhou Yanbo said, "Peony Peak can't be too close to Xibai, even if you shoot an arrow at the top of the peak, you can also enter Xibai City." ”

"So that's the case!" Xiao Yuan understood something, "If we can get Peony Peak, the entire Xibai will have nowhere to hide under the Divine Fire Camp!"

"That's right, so the first battle of Xibai's strategy is to occupy Peony Peak. ”
