Chapter 202: Sunset City

The passion is surging, and the most primitive is burning. With the three women moaning for a while, Ye Feng finally let out a long breath, trembling all over, and the essence of life gushed out.

Back in the barracks, the three girls were already flushed, and fell asleep on the bed.

After more than ten days of turbulent travel, the army finally arrived outside Sunset City as scheduled.

Sunset City is a northwestern border city, surrounded by yellow sand, and a lonely city stands alone in the yellow sand. The wind was blowing and the clouds were flying, and when the army arrived, suddenly the wind was fierce, and the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, making people unable to open their eyes. Ye Feng couldn't help but curse secretly, he was really not guilty of finding guilt, and ran to this place where birds don't and chickens don't lay eggs.

The army of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, has been besieging the city for a month, but it is besieging the city on three sides, leaving the north alone, but I don't know what it means. If the 300,000 army of the Northwest King attacked the city, he was afraid that he would have already captured Sunset City, but they were only besieging the city, not attacking the city, which made Ye Feng puzzled.

When the army entered the city from the north gate, Ye Feng saw that the city was in a mess, and many people were nested in front of their own doors, their faces were gray, and they were dirty. In war, it is often the common people who suffer the most, who want to flee the city, but as soon as they reach the city gate, they are already shot. The front is also dead, and the retreat is also death, and it seems that there is only one dead word left for them.

See? One? Root? Read? Novel.ybdu.In this scene, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel sad and sad. Although Ye Feng is an underworld, he has never bullied ordinary people, how can he not feel sentimental when he sees this scene. However, he also figured out why Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, did not attack the city for a long time, but only surrounded the city.

Although the north side seems to be unsurrounded on the surface, in fact there is no one to leave the city, and it is obvious that there are ambushes here. It's just that Ye Feng didn't understand where the ambush was lurking in such an empty place.

Obviously, Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, was waiting for the arrival of the imperial army. He knew that there were a million male soldiers in the imperial court, and although they were guarding everywhere, if they gathered to encircle and annihilate themselves, how could their own army of 300,000 resist. Therefore, he surrounded Sunset City and did not attack it for a long time, and the imperial court was bound to send a large army to conquer it when he saw this scene. However, there are many parties in the court, and they are bound to contain each other, so there will not be too many soldiers, he just has to wait for this army to arrive, and then surround and annihilate it, so as to consume the imperial court's military strength. Moreover, Sunset City has been besieged for a long time, and there is no food and grass in the city.

Before Ye Feng set out on the expedition, Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, had already heard the secret report, and when he learned that the general of this expedition to the west was Ye Feng, he couldn't help laughing insolently. There was no one in the DPRK and China, so he sent a boy who only knew how to drink and lust to go on the expedition. That was his first feeling. He also saw the dawn of victory and saw the scene of his invasion of the capital and sitting on the throne.

All he has to do now is wait, and when Ye Feng's army has no food and grass to use, it will inevitably cause chaos in the army. He was not afraid that grain and grass would come to supply, because in such an empty desert, an army of 300,000 troops was guarding here, where would grain and grass be allowed to enter the city.

A group of civil and military officials in Sunset City led the way in front of Ye Feng's horse, and the army Ye Feng had already asked Zeng Shuai to be placed on top of the city tower, only he, the third daughter and Lin Hu followed them to the Taishou Mansion.

In military affairs, it is inconvenient for women to participate, so Sun Yan, Xiaoqian and Ke'er said goodbye to Ye Feng and went to the room arranged by Zao Taishou. Ye Feng knew that they were running around and working all the way, so he didn't stop them, and besides, he had to ask about some military information and the situation in the city later, and the three of them were afraid that they would also fall into the mouth.

Entering the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, Ye Feng went straight to the top seat in the middle and sat down, Lin Hu sat aside, but the other civil and military officials of Sunset City trembled, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

After being silent for a moment, Ye Feng said lightly: "Sit down." ”

The officials thanked each other and sat down in fear.

"Xie Taishou, let's briefly talk about the situation in the city." Ye Feng said.

Xie Xun turned to the side slightly in panic and said, "Generalissimo, Sunset City has been besieged for more than a month, and the city has run out of ammunition and food. If there is no more food and grass, I am afraid that Sunset City will be destroyed. ”

Snorting coldly, Ye Feng asked, "Have the rich families in the city donated grain and grass?" ”

Xie Xun replied tremblingly: "Xiaguan has discussed with the wealthy families in the city a few days ago to let them lend grain, but ...... But ......"

"But what?" Ye Feng asked coldly.

"But they refused to borrow food." Xie Xun said.

Two cold glints flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, making people shudder. Under such circumstances, those rich people still only care about themselves, and suddenly they don't realize that the city is about to be destroyed. However, after thinking about it, he also understood that even if Sunset City was broken by the army of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, he would not embarrass those rich families, and they could still live their own luxurious lives. Ye Feng really didn't understand how such a sloppy person could sit in this position of Taishou, at this critical juncture, why did he need to discuss and directly send troops to surround their mansion, would they dare not take out the food.

With a "bang", Ye Feng slapped his palm on the table. Because of the anger, the attack was even worse, and the entire table was suddenly shattered, and those civil and military officials lowered their heads in fright and did not say a word. "Go, inform me of the rich families in the city, and say that Ben Shuai wants them to come and meet me." Ye Feng said coldly.

"Yes, yes!" Taishou hurriedly answered and retreated.

"Wait!" As soon as Taishou retreated to the door, he was stopped by Ye Feng's words.

Xie Xun turned around in panic and said tremblingly, "Yuan...... Marshal, also ...... What else is commanded? ”

"Tell the people in the city to gather in front of the government in the evening to distribute food, and count it as per capita." Ye Feng said.

Xie Xun's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said embarrassedly: "But ...... But where do we get our food? ”

"Let you go, where is so much nonsense." Ye Feng shouted coldly.

Xie Xun trembled, and hurriedly retreated.

"General Xie, tell me about the defense problem in the city now." Ye Feng turned his eyes to another young man in his early thirties and said.

This person is the guard of Sunset City, named Xie Chen, the only son of Taishou Xie Xun. When Ye Feng heard this, he couldn't believe that the Wenchen and the military generals in one place turned out to be a family, which was a very serious drawback. He also secretly swore that if he ascended to the throne one day, he would definitely eliminate this phenomenon. Not only that, but it is also necessary to follow the example of the top officials in Huaxia, and all local officials will be appointed for a term of three years, and once the term of office expires, they will be transferred to other places, so as to eliminate the self-respect of those officials and military generals.

"There were about 30,000 defenders in the city, but a few days ago there was an attempt to break through and confronted the rebels of the Northwest King, and most of them were killed and wounded, and now there are only less than 10,000 troops in the city." Xie Chen replied.

Ye Feng sighed helplessly, only a mere 30,000 people dared to confront the 300,000 army of the Northwest King, Ye Feng had to admit that this Xie Chen was really "courageous" and "courageous". Now there are only less than 10,000 troops here, plus his own 100,000 army, which is still less than half of the strength of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, and the disparity in strength is huge. Moreover, the outside of the city is a desert plain, which is not conducive to an ambush battle, as long as his army leaves the city, it is bound to besiege the army of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, which is very unfavorable to himself. However, the reinforcements of the imperial court did not know when they would arrive, and if the time was late, his 100,000 troops would only starve to death here.

"Vice Marshal Lin, do you have any good ideas?" Ye Feng turned his head and glanced at Lin Hu and asked.

Lin Hu replied: "The disparity in strength between the two armies is huge, and the terrain is also unfavorable for us, but we are not without a chance to win. Now, the morale of the rebels of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, is high, and we are exhausted from the long journey, coupled with the repeated defeats in Sunset City, and the morale is low. If our army wants to win, the first thing to solve is the problem of morale. ”

Ye Feng nodded, he had to admit that what Lin Hu said made sense. The two armies faced each other, and a large part of the reason for the winning side was because of the high morale. Morale is an important condition for the confrontation between the two armies.

Lin Hu continued: "The rebels of the northwest king Ye Yuan are besieging the city on three sides, the south is led by his general Zhang Hu with an army of 80,000, the west is led by the general Zhao Long with an army of 100,000, and the east is led by the northwest king Ye Yuan himself with an army of 100,000, although there are only 20,000 in the north, but if you want to attack the outside of the city, it is more difficult than the other three, the army on the east and west sides, according to their defense, is to monitor the north at any time, as long as we try to get out of the north gate, we will inevitably find the encirclement and annihilation of the two armies." I think the reason why we were able to enter the city so easily this time was because Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, deliberately let us in, so that our army could be surrounded and annihilated in the city. So, if we want to get out of the city, we have to fight from the other three sides. ”

Ye Feng's brows furrowed, Lin Hu's analysis was good, but it was not the answer he wanted, what Ye Feng wanted was how to completely annihilate the rebels of the Northwest King, not his own army to escape from the city. If so, why should I travel all the way to help? "What plan does Vice Marshal Lin have to destroy the enemy?" Ye Feng asked.

Lin Hu snorted, raised his head and said: "I'm just a lieutenant general, how to destroy the enemy, presumably the marshal already knows it in his heart." ”

Hearing his words, Ye Feng couldn't help but be slightly angry, it seemed that Lin Shen, the head of the Purple Pupil Lin family, must have instructed him to ignore the military and let Ye Feng handle all military affairs alone. Obviously, they hoped that Ye Feng would be defeated and that Ye Feng would die. Although Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, is known as an army of 300,000, if Ye Feng dies, the three major families will inevitably go all out to wipe out the army of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest. The million-strong army of the imperial court, as long as the three major families see that Ye Feng is dead and have no worries, they will naturally come out, and Ye Feng's death will inevitably make everyone hate the same enemy, and the fate of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, can be imagined.

But who is Ye Feng? That's a person who has been in blood a few times, how can he lose to a mere king of the northwest? However, hearing Lin Hu's words, Ye Feng also secretly decided Lin Hu's fate.
