Chapter 1911: Showing Weakness
Thunder Blade's plan was very thorough, and after contacting He Yang, Thunder Blade personally put on makeup and went to Huangsha Town to reconnoitre.
As the hub of the West Wilderness linking the east and the west, Huangsha City is indeed extremely tightly defended, and even because of the arrival of the Thunder Blade with troops these days, Huangsha Town has directly closed the gate, and all people are not allowed to enter or leave!
In such a well-defended situation, it is very tricky for Thunder Blade to capture Huangsha Town.
After observing for a month, Lei Jian told Han Ziqian and Chen Chao not to attack Huangsha Town for the time being, but to attack Shitong City, which is more than 600 miles north of Huangsha Town.
Of course, Lei Jian also sent a message to He Yang, who was closer to Huangsha Town, asking her to train secretly and stay still.
The attack on the Stone Copper City is naturally a cover.
Thunder Blade led the troops to attack Shitong City, with Han Ziqian as the vanguard, in fact, it was also three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, just to consume time here and divert the attention of the enemy.
On the other hand, Thunder Blade also called Chen Chao to recruit troops in the Western Wilderness, and the Seventh Immortal Emperor gave him the right to recruit troops, but he did not recruit silver taels for Thunder Blade, but fortunately, when he was in Nanzhou, Lei Jiajun of Thunder Blade had a rich family background, and this time he left, he took all his family backgrounds away, and recruiting troops was not a problem.
What annoyed Lei Blade the most was not these trivial matters, but the attitude of the three of Long Feihu.
When attacking Shitong City, Thunder Blade Xianglong Feihu sent an assembly order, asking the three of them to lead their troops to converge and attack Shitong City in one fell swoop.
But ten days have passed, and the three of them have not heard a sound at all, and the three of them have turned a deaf ear to the orders of the top boss of Lei Blade, and ignored them.
"General Long, this is an order, you must take your subordinates and rush to Shitong City within three days!"
"General Lei Mingjian, the general has occasionally felt cold recently, and among the soldiers, there are quite a few sick people, and in a short period of time, I really can't catch up, forgive me."
"This seat is not ordering you as a boss, but as a colleague, I ask you to lead troops to reinforce."
"I want to, too, but now I can't be separated, and I'm sick again. Don't you have the invincible Lei family army, don't you still have a civilian god of war, I will believe in your strength and support you spiritually by 25%. However, if you want me to bring troops here, wait for me to recover from my illness for a few months. ”
"General Long, we are all generals of the Immortal Dynasty, and we work together with His Majesty the Seventh Immortal Emperor. If you don't help me now, if you ask me one day, do you know what will happen? ”
"You 50,000 people, do you think I will ask you? Don't worry, when the time comes, you don't have to come to save me, I died in battle, and it has nothing to do with you! That's my own fault, I deserve it, I should be satisfied with this reply, right? ”
The two of them are flying beasts, and they exchanged letters back and forth, from the politeness at the beginning to the tearing of the face at the back, Long Feihu directly didn't take the thunder blade in his eyes.
When Thunder Blade's last letter only gave him three words "Let's see", Long Feihu threw the letter directly away, and said to the left and right lieutenants: "Hmph, he still thinks Thunder Blade is in Nanzhou?" Thought he was the boss? Xihuang, I'm the boss! I begged him? Dream! ”
……
In addition to sending a letter to Long Feihu, Lei Jian also sent a letter to Jiang Baitao and Du Zhenyang.
However, it is conceivable that Long Feihu did not come, and Jiang Baitao and Du Zhenyang naturally shirked various reasons not to come.
The rest of Zhang Decai promised to come, but after gathering his troops, he came out of the garrison Shatong City, and only walked more than 20 miles a day, which was slower than a snail!
Lei Jian knew that this Zhang Decai was waiting and seeing, in fact, this guy was not ready to fight, but just led troops out and pretended. It's just that he doesn't have the confidence of Long Feihu and the three of them, after all, he is a local army, so this is to bring troops out for "tourism".
Among the five troops, only He Yang was willing to bring troops to help immediately.
However, when he was about to lead the troops, he received the second order from Thunder Blade: "Make an appearance that you are unwilling to cooperate, you don't need to bring troops here, and be ready to attack Huangsha Town at any time." ”
Only the two of them, Han Ziqian, Chen Chao, and Ni Qiang knew about He Yang's willingness to follow the Thunder Blade, and the others didn't know about it, and thought that He Yang, like them, was unwilling to cooperate with the Thunder Blade.
In fact, the attitude of these people, Lei Jian knew very well in his heart, he was just going through the motions on the surface.
At that moment, Thunder Blade asked Han Ziqian to continue to feign an attack on Stone Copper City, and on the other hand, he quietly transferred troops and turned into civilians, looking for opportunities next to Huangsha Town.
Two months have passed, and the cultivation of the Thunder Blade has been further stabilized after entering the Great Immortal Rank, and the four True Qi Dragons can be summoned by him at will.
During this period of time, Huangsha Town saw that the Thunder Blade had been attacking Stone Copper City, thinking that the Thunder Blade side would not attack them for the time being, so he relaxed his vigilance and allowed the people to enter and exit the city gate.
Although the rules that allow entry and exit from the city gate in Huangsha Town are strictly restricted, Lei Jian took Ni Qiang and twenty elites of the Lei Family Army, divided into five batches, and still mixed into Huangsha Town.
Two and a half months later, Han Ziqian led his troops to suddenly withdraw from Shitong City, and Chen Chao's newly recruited 15,000 soldiers also joined Han Ziqian's troops to act as logistics.
Han Ziqian led all the men and horses of the Lei family army and recruits, a total of 65,000 people, and together with Chen Chao, they directly came to the outside of Huangsha Town with lightning speed.
When the enemy army learned that Han Ziqian only had 65,000 people, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and the guard even used his true qi to transmit Han Ziqian's voice on the city tower, mocking: "Han Ziqian, aren't you a civilian god of war?" You have the ability to attack it! Come on, grandpa is waiting for you! ”
Not only is the enemy defender, but when Long Feihu, Jiang Baitao and Du Zhenyang got Han Ziqian to lead 65,000 people to attack Huangsha Town, the expressions of the three people were almost the same, and they sneered: "Heh, Lei Blade doesn't know where to hide, with this bit of strength, if he can capture Huangsha Town, Lao Tzu will slap the fish for him to eat!" ”
Han Ziqian led his troops to the city of Huangsha Town, besieging but not attacking.
The enemy army has several generals, and if it weren't for the military order not to go into battle, they would almost lead their troops out to rush out to "clean up" the civilian god of war and make a name for themselves.
Han Ziqian surrounded Huangsha Town in the early morning of the third day.
On this day, the sky had just turned white, and suddenly, a fire rushed out of Huangsha Town, and the yellow light rushed to the sky, which could be seen dozens of miles away.
Then, Han Ziqian and Chen Chao were outside the city, and they felt that inside Huangsha Town, the true qi fluctuated sharply, and the sound of the roar of the demonic beast was heard.
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Chen Chao said: "Lei Shuai has sent a signal, General Han, let's do it!" ”
