Chapter 124: The Siege

The march of the rebel army was too loud, which attracted the attention of all the common people along the way.

Of course, the garrison of Cannes would not ignore that every other tea time, a group of scouts would fly into the city and announce the movement.

As a general of 3,000 people, Mori climbed the tower at the first time and overlooked the neatly formed rebel army in the distance.

"Five thousand......" Mo Li muttered, after many days of fighting, he had naturally inquired about the number of the Cang army, and five thousand soldiers were only a small part of it.

"Report-" A soldier ran up to the city tower, knelt on one knee, and presented a bamboo tube: "General Qiyu, General Deng urgently report!" ”

Deng Fei?

Mo Li was surprised, Deng Fei was his colleague, and he was also a 3,000-strong general, and there was a full team of 3,000 people under his command, stationed in Cannes as a support force, why was the emergency report at this time?

At the thought of it, an ominous premonition rose in Maury's heart.

He took the bamboo tube from the soldier's hand and opened the letter.

"This ...... Is Cangjun really here this time? Mo Li was shocked, because in Deng Fei's letter, there were two other teams of 1,000 people from the side of Cannes, one was stationed behind Cannes, and the other went straight to Xin'an!

What this means is self-evident, the Cang army not only besieged Kangcheng, but also cut off Kangcheng's backup!

Sinseong ......

A fear rose in Mo Li's heart, because Xin'an City was just north of Kangcheng, if Zheng Guo's reinforcements arrived, they would definitely have to save Xin'an City first, and the two sides would have a tug-of-war, and when the reinforcements arrived in Kangcheng, it would take at least five or six days!

For five or six days, with the low walls of Cannes, is there any hope of holding on?

There is almost no suspense, Kangcheng may not be able to hold even a day, because all along, this city has never been threatened by the south, the city wall has not been renovated for decades, less than two zhang high, it is difficult to prevent some small thieves, not to mention the Cang army with siege ladders.

"Quick! Ask His Royal Highness what to do! Mori was so anxious that he shouted, once Cannes was breached, as a general of three thousand people, even if he didn't die, his life would be over.

The city was besieged, and the soldiers in Kangcheng were in chaos.

You must know that although there are two teams of 3,000 people in Kangcheng, they are all peasant soldiers who have only been recruited in the past two months, and their combat effectiveness is even worse than that of the 15,000 volunteer army.

"Oh my God, why are there so many people!"

"I heard that there is an army behind our Cannes, and we have lost this battle!"

"I'm gone! Get angry with a bird! If you become a common person in Cangguo, you will still have a field at home! ”

"General Mo just went down in a hurry, he must have gone to find the Third Highness!"

On the city wall, the soldiers talked a lot, although the battle had not yet begun, but seeing the neat queue under the city, I couldn't help but feel stunned, and my steps instinctively retreated.

"Whew-"

The horn sounded, and the army formation marched neatly, approaching the city wall little by little.

Gu Fengnan stood in front of the formation, pulled out the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Soldiers, take out your momentum and do the right thing for the sky!" ”

"Roarβ€”"

In the rear, there was a deafening loud noise, which was the low roar of the soldiers.

Gu Fengnan nodded with satisfaction, this battle is not only about the belonging of Kangcheng, but also a battle for the entire rebel army and his personal future.

That's right, it's besieged but not attacked.

Although it is not difficult for the two rebel armies to attack a Cannes now, the price to be paid is also very heavy, especially when the war has not yet fully begun, and if a large number of troops are consumed at the beginning, it will be very detrimental to the situation in the future.

Therefore, for a whole afternoon, the 5,000 volunteer soldiers led by Gu Fengnan stood under Kangcheng for an afternoon.

"This ...... What the hell are they playing? ”

"It can't be the same as the previous times, right?"

"Is this battle still going to be fought?"

On the city tower, the soldiers and soldiers of Zheng were all stunned, and the thunder and rain were small in the first few times, but why did the Cangjun Xingshi move the people to come this time, why didn't they attack the city?

As the owner of Kangcheng, Zheng Kang, accompanied by Mo Li, also ascended to the castle tower, frowning and not speaking.

His intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed, because the Emperor of Cangguo had too profound influence on him, with both fierce and decisive determination like a tiger and cunning like a fox, how could such a strange person only send an army to stand outside the city?

What the hell is going on......

Zheng Kang had a hard feeling in his heart, on the one hand, he hoped that the Cang army could defeat Zheng Han, and on the other hand, he wanted to consume the Cang army as much as possible and let him reap the benefits himself, so at the beginning, he ordered his subordinates to retreat, trying not to let his subordinates fight hard with the Cang army, but now, there is no way to retreat.

Emperor Cangguo, why did he die in Kangcheng?

This is the only thing Zheng Kang can't understand, after all, to invade the territory of Zheng State, isn't it only Kangcheng, is the Emperor Cangguo determined to attack from the heavily defended Kangcheng and Xin'an City?

With apprehension, Zheng Kang watched Kangcheng being besieged for a day and a night, his morale was low, and people were panicked.

In particular, some nobles in the city were still shouting loudly for the army to escort them out of the city, but after hearing that Xin'an City was also attacked and the road to the north was blocked, they began to complain to Zheng Kang and asked for immediate help from the imperial capital.

There was no way, Zheng Kang had no choice but to send someone overnight to write a letter to Zheng Han, the imperial brother who was far away in the imperial capital, stating the stakes.

On the third day of the first month of October, the Dongda Battalion and the Zhongda Battalion, each sent 10,000 troops, plus 30,000 peasant soldiers, and urgently went south to rescue, which was regarded by Zheng Han as a battle to exterminate the Cang army, and also regarded as a battle that completely knocked Zheng Kang into the abyss.

……

At the same time, a Cang army quietly went north from the left side from the outskirts of Kangcheng, taking advantage of the night, and touched the lone wolf pass.

Lone Wolf Pass is located at the junction of Kangcheng and Huangtian City, this location is a passage between the north and south of Zheng Guo, usually caravans escort goods, are through this, both sides are rugged hilly areas, if Zheng Guo's army wants to rescue quickly, then it is undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient to rush from here.

The soldiers of the Five Thousand Green Dragon Legion, like nocturnal ghosts, did not speak in the ranks, and the atmosphere in the entire team was very depressed and calm, and only the creaking sound of footsteps on the crisp soil could be heard.

Many of the soldiers carried their instruments in their hands, and their faces were in a hurry as if they were about to face a big event, and their chests were pounding and pounding.

Time passed little by little, and the Blue Dragon Legion walked about ten miles on this winding and rugged lone wolf pass, and Wei Zhongquan suddenly saw a little torch in the distance.

The torches are not fixed in one place, as if someone is holding them and waving them, drawing circles.

After a few moments, the torches were gone, probably artificially extinguished.

It seems that this is the best place to ambush......

Wei Zhong knew in his heart that those people holding torches were the scouts he sent to the front line to investigate, in fact, as early as a few days ago, those soldiers sent to various places to investigate had already heard clearly, Lone Wolf Pass was a very suitable location for ambushes.

As a result, a grand strategy was formulated among the monarchs and ministers, first sending troops to constantly harass and lower the vigilance of the enemy, and then using Kangcheng and Xin'an to attract the attention of the enemy army and lure the main force of the Zheng army to rescue.

Then, the Blue Dragon Legion set up ambushes along the way, giving the main force of the Zheng army that came to help meet them head-on, dampening their spirit, and then, the Xuanwu Legion went deep into the territory of Zheng and started a battle on all fronts! ()
