The next day, the weather was warm!

Two guards returned safely with five infantrymen and brought back news from Yecheng and Lingcheng.

Under the big locust tree, Lin Feng and Cao Aman, Luo Da, and the newly promoted Han Chengkun and Li Yulong two generals discussed the next military affairs.

Lin Feng sat on the boulder, glanced at Cao Aman's four people and the foot riders who went to investigate beside him, and asked, "Yecheng and Lingcheng, what's the movement?" ”

"Childe, Lingcheng has been occupied by the Vietnamese army, Zhang Yuting led the main force and is entering Lingcheng, Yecheng, the Vietnamese army's forward 30,000 troops, under the leadership of Liu Ranjun, are rapidly approaching." One of the guards said respectfully.

Listening to the sound, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, Zhang Yuting used military tactics, old and dead, still tested for the forward, the main force pounced, and quickly resolved the battle.

At present, he already has a method for targeting, but it needs to be refined!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng continued to ask: "What changes have happened to the defenders of Yecheng, have they held on and started preparing for war, or have there been deserters who have abandoned the city and fled?" ”

"Yecheng guard general Li Yunyan, he doesn't have much ability, and the general Wu Jie Shao is brother-in-law, was promoted by the general to garrison Yecheng, as early as when Lingcheng was lost, he had abandoned the city and fled, however, Mu Junyan is an iron-clad man, leading more than 20,000 troops to deploy in Yecheng!" An infantryman recounts the deployment of Yecheng in detail.

Hearing this, Lin Feng was secretly happy in his heart, if Mu Junyan persisted, the situation would develop in favor of the coalition forces, and things would be much easier.

"What else is the news, what about the Vietnamese army, is there any siege equipment, where is the grain and grass stored, and where is the commander's barracks?" The situation is gratifying, but Lin Feng was not carried away, what should be understood must be refined to the bits and pieces.

The two guards glanced at each other, and there was a humane: "Childe, the military camp of the commander of the Vietnamese army is too dangerous, and his subordinates have not gone deep, so far it is not clear where the camp of the commander of the Vietnamese army is, but there are 30,000 siege Vietnamese troops, and there are a few siege equipment, but there are no Song troops with many types and tyrannical." And the grain and grass of the Vietnamese army are in Lingcheng with the remaining 70,000 main troops! ”

Lin Feng secretly took a breath, at present, he was most concerned about the issue of grain and grass, the grain and grass were in the Lingcheng, I was afraid that it would be difficult to snatch them, otherwise he would definitely be caught in the other party's urn.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng continued to ask, "Near Yecheng, is there any more hidden place?" ”

The forest in the west, full of towering trees, is very secretive, but unfortunately the distance is too far, and it takes a day of marching to reach Yecheng, delaying time back and forth, consuming the physical strength of the infantry, and is not suitable for combat!

This time, he only had 2,000 people under his account, and if he wanted to defeat the Vietnamese army, he had to cover up his unpreparedness by surprise.

For a while, the three infantry looked at each other, and Yecheng was mostly hilly on all sides, and a few were flat, and there was no hidden place.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Lin Feng realized that there might not be a hidden place on the four sides, otherwise, the three of them would not show embarrassment.

However, Han Chengkun next to him suddenly said: "I don't know what the meaning of the son is looking for a hidden place, if it is used to cover the army, the last general will know a place." ”

"Say!" Lin Feng asked with a faint smile on his face.

Han Chengkun didn't hesitate and said, "The last general heard that thirty miles south of Yecheng, there is a deep depression with a small area, which can hide thousands of people!" ”

"Rodda, in a moment, send out the guards to investigate!" Lin Feng commanded sharply, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew.

If there is a place to hide troops and is close to Yecheng, this time, he will give Zhang Yuting a heavy blow and teach the Vietnamese army a good lesson.

Traveling around the countries in the south, he didn't want to participate in the war of the southern countries, but unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and he did not expect Zhang Yuting to block his eastward advance, so he was forced to fight back and open up the eastward road.

Knowing what to know, Lin Feng didn't say much, turned to Li Yulong and said, "General Li, lead the troops to keep an eye on all sides to prevent any Vietnamese spies from appearing." ”

"Childe, don't worry!" Li Yulong hugged his fists.

When everyone dispersed, Lin Feng took Cao Aman to the big tent in the military camp and advised: "Aman, send someone to visit the local big households in the stockade, and ask if there is anyone with a map of Cai Guo, I have a wonderful use." ”

The map, the map of Cai Guo and the southern countries, has become a major matter in Lin Feng's heart, without a map, it is difficult to show his strength in Cai Guo's eyes, and he is unfortunately defeated, and he has not even fled in the direction!

"The end will be fought!" In this matter, Cao Aman did not dare to pack tickets, because he knew that it was very difficult to find a map in the homes of ordinary people!

In Yecheng, Mu Junyan led the defenders and deployed them tightly on the city wall, not daring to be sloppy and contemptuous.

The opponent in this battle was Zhang Yuting, a famous general of the Yue State, and only General Wu Jieshao could match him in the Cai State, but General Wu was in the south and blocked the Han Xiangzi Army of the Chu State with the generals of Dayan.

At present, even if someone is sent to inform General Wu, it is impossible to save the fire from far water, and the safety of Yecheng and even the safety of the imperial city is all carried by himself.

However, the situation was worse than expected, and all the eastern defense lines of Cai Guo collapsed and were invaded and occupied by the Yue Guoqing.

Not long ago, the defenders of Lingcheng abandoned the city and fled, which made the defenders of Yecheng panic and demoralized, and he was not sure if he would be able to save the defeat and block the Vietnamese army in Yecheng.

However, if he does not block the defenders of Yecheng and abandon the city and flee, the Vietnamese army will soon occupy Yecheng, and within a day, the army will definitely approach Mocheng, once the imperial city of Cai Guo is occupied, Cai Guo will destroy the country.

Therefore, even if the momentum of the Yecheng defenders is not high, he must make Yecheng like an iron barrel as much as possible, block the westward advance of the Vietnamese army for a long time, and buy time for the king in Mocheng!

On the wall of Yecheng, Mu Junyan was dressed in armor, standing at the head of the city with a sword, looking at the east, his face was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking about in his heart?

Today, he sent several groups of spies to closely monitor the movements of the Vietnamese army, and the spies repeatedly reported that the direction of the Vietnamese army had taken advantage of the momentum and was rapidly coming in the direction of Yecheng, and it was hoped that in the middle of the night, the forward troops would arrive in Yecheng.

At that time, Yecheng will definitely face an abnormal war. At that time, whether Yecheng can be defended to the death will soon be known.

Time passed quickly, and at dusk, the atmosphere in Yecheng became more and more depressing, because, the spies reported that the Vietnamese army appeared ten miles away from Yecheng, and the marching speed was beyond expectations!

Even Mu Junyan became panicked in his heart, the Vietnamese army pursued with victory, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the marching speed was too fast.

had to face the moonlight and gradually defend, lest the Vietnamese army arrive under the city and launch a direct attack, the defenders of Yecheng may become frightened birds, and they will also abandon the city and flee.

The sky was completely dark, and in the sky, when the stars were dotted, the Vietnamese army arrived in front of Yecheng and quickly prepared siege equipment, and there were signs of capturing Yecheng overnight.

The city wall of Yecheng is full of torches, all the crossbows in the city are set on the city wall, five thousand archers are ready to go, swords and axes shuttle through the city wall, and in front of the strong enemy, the Cai army shows strong combat effectiveness.

Before, Mu Junyan killed two defenders who planned to abandon the city and flee in public, and strictly ordered the whole army to kill anyone who abandoned the city and fled at any time, without mercy.

Yecheng is the last barrier of the imperial capital, and abandoning Yecheng is tantamount to disloyalty to Cai Jun, and everyone in the army washes all the enemies.

Under the strict order, the 30,000 defenders fled a little restrained, not to mention that the Vietnamese army arrived in Yecheng, quickly besieged Yecheng, and chose the southwest and north three gates to attack together, the Cai army in the city wanted to escape, only to the east, where the main army of the Vietnamese army was located.

Abandoning the city and fleeing to the east, there is no doubt that he will be caught in a net, and he will surely die.

Mu Junyan informed the whole army that if they want to escape death, they must not defend the city and live and die with Yecheng, otherwise, anyone who escapes from Yecheng will become a ghost under the Vietnamese saber.

The Vietnamese army arrived in Yecheng, under the leadership of the forward general Leng Kun, without the need for the army to rest, directly stormed Yecheng, Leng Kun is a fierce general under Zhang Yuting's account, brave but unstrategic, as the forward siege general, but it is very suitable.

The battle was about to break out, and half an hour after the Vietnamese army arrived, they launched a fierce attack on Yecheng!

Fifty miles away, in the stockade, Lin Feng had just rested in the military tent, and had not yet fallen asleep, when Cao Aman's voice came from outside, he had to get up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the military tent.

"Aman, what's the matter?" Seeing Cao Aman, who was standing outside the big tent with a respectful expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask curiously.

At this time, Cao Aman did not hesitate, directly in the direction of Yecheng in the distance, and said softly: "Your Majesty, look, there seems to be a war in the direction of Yecheng!" ”

Looking in the direction of Cao Aman's finger, there was a slight fire in the direction of Yecheng, and faintly, there was a killing shout, Lin Feng felt a while in his heart, early in the morning, he was still thinking about transferring the whole army, preparing to attack the Vietnamese army quietly, at this moment, Yecheng seemed to have a battle.

At this moment, if the Vietnamese army is really storming Yecheng, he must personally lead the troops, starry night, and strive to arrive at Yecheng in the second half of the night to attack the Vietnamese siege troops.

"Aman, tell Luo Da, Han Chengkun, lead a hundred guards and a thousand infantry, go straight to the west gate of Yecheng, and storm the siege troops of the Vietnamese army!" Lin Feng ordered anxiously.

According to his plan, 2,000 infantry under his command quietly appeared near Yecheng to attack the Vietnamese army, but the speed of the Vietnamese army's march was too fast, beyond expectations, whether it could attack the Vietnamese army attacking the west gate of Yecheng tonight, has become confusing, unpredictable.

However, he still hopes that he will quickly go to Yecheng and have a chance to inflict heavy damage on the Vietnamese army!
