Liu Ranjun expressed doubts about Zhang Yuting's decision, and wondered what the other party was planning!

Tonight's defeat was due to the sudden arrival of cavalry from the west, and the siege force was defeated without being on guard.

If the army regroups and concentrates on dealing with it, it will definitely defeat the attack team and easily capture Yecheng, and the troops will be directed at the imperial capital of Cai!

Once the Cai State is annexed, the huge benefits will far outweigh the search for last night's attacker, even if the other party may be Emperor Yan!

"The defenders of Yecheng are scarce, and sooner or later they will be in our pockets. And last night's attack on General Liu's foot cavalry, most of them were Emperor Yan personally led the blade soldiers south, Emperor Yan's whereabouts are strange, and the intention of resisting Cai Guo is unknown, so he must take advantage of Emperor Yan's side to capture him alive! Zhang Yuting was categorical, thought for a moment, and patiently explained: "Emperor Yan is unpredictable with soldiers, once it is determined that the attacker last night is Emperor Yan, if you do not destroy Emperor Yan, but instead storm Yecheng, you will inevitably be harassed by the other party, capture Yecheng, and capture Mocheng, it will become a protracted war, and it will be contrary to the plan of this commander to fight quickly and defeat Cai Guo!" ”

What's more, if you capture Emperor Yan alive, even if you can't get rid of him directly, you can also take the opportunity to squeeze huge profits from Dayan. More importantly, he Zhang Yuting may become the first general in the vassal states to capture Emperor Yan alive, and he will definitely go down in history.

Therefore, taking into account all factors, before capturing Yecheng, it is necessary to determine the identity of the attacker to prevent accidents, he does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, the north was defeated by the Yan army, and the south was still beaten by the Yan army.

However, the deputy general Li Hengan looked puzzled, looked at Zhang Yuting and asked: "General, if the other party is not Emperor Yan himself, all the efforts, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water?" ”

At present, Liu Ranjun, Li Hengan and the two deputy generals next to him still do not believe that under the tense situation between the north and the south, Emperor Yan took the risk of sneaking into Cai State with a small number of troops, what is the difference between that and a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

"Hahaha, General Liu, General Li, don't you know, in Dayan, the people who are qualified to mobilize blade warriors are not Emperor Yan, only the Great General Hou Mingfeng, these two people, capture one person, we will be famous all over the world!" Zhang Yuting laughed loudly, the defeat of the Northern Expedition does not mean that he does not understand the situation of Dayan.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuting continued: "If the attacker is not Emperor Yan, and a strong enemy suddenly appears in Cai State, won't it be faster to get rid of it? ”

No matter what the attitude of the four deputy generals under his account is, he still wants to capture Lin Feng alive and become famous in the world!

What's more, the capture of Lin Feng and the march into Mocheng and the annexation of Cai Guo did not conflict with each other.

But it can be two-pronged, double happiness is coming, and it is not impossible!

Moreover, regardless of the specific identity of the attacker, he must be wiped out, and anyone who blocks his westward advance and annexes Cai Guo will not want to leave the land of Cai alive!

It was determined that Zhang Yuting had made up his mind, Liu Ranjun and Li Hengan didn't say anything more!

At this moment, Liu Ranjun was even more fortunate in his heart, fortunately, the coach's attention was attracted by the attacker, and he did not hold himself accountable for the defeat of the army, otherwise, at this time, he was afraid that he would have been dealt with by military regulations.

If you don't get killed, you will also encounter the court staff and suffer from flesh and skin!

Glancing at Zhang Yuting, the two of them clasped their fists together, and said loudly: "General rest assured, the last general will be three feet away, between Yecheng and Mocheng, a detailed investigation!" ”

"It's best to be like this, if anyone neglects his duty and underestimates the enemy's carelessness, this general will not be spared!" Zhang Yuting's words are sharp, like a tiger coming out of the mountain!

………

At dawn, the east was slightly bright, the weather was slightly cool, the west gate of the mausoleum slowly opened, and 20,000 infantry, led by Liu Ranjun and Li Hengan, quietly left in the night, headed to the direction of Yecheng, according to Zhang Yuting's order, to search for the 2,000-person infantry cavalry team.

Liu Ranjun is a guilty body, although he is not sure of Lin Feng's identity and does not support Zhang Yuting's plan, he still hopes to search for the traces of the infantry cavalry team, take the opportunity to annihilate it, pay for the blood debt, and make up for the fault.

Two hours or so, the sky was getting brighter, 20,000 infantry, only more than ten miles away from Yecheng, but nothing was found, Liu Ranjun had to wonder if the other party had withdrawn from Yecheng, and when the army continued to disperse, he still sent more than ten infantry to search in the direction of Yecheng!

Moreover, the two were worried that when they passed through Yecheng, they might cause the Cai army in the city to go out of the city to block them. However, the military order is like a mountain, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, in order to capture Lin Feng for life, they must also bite the bullet and continue to move forward!

……

In the west of Yecheng, Lin Feng returned with his troops, sent cavalry to pay attention to the situation on all sides, and was still stationed in place.

Not long ago, Mu Junyan personally led a small number of guards to the squad camp and handed over the map of the southern countries to Lin Feng, in exchange for a strategy to break the enemy.

Before finding out Lin Feng's specific identity in detail, Mu Junyan didn't want to, nor dared to, be too close to this person with a strange identity!

In the military tent, Lin Feng got a detailed map of the southern countries, and studied it in detail with Wang Lunyue overnight, hoping to find a suitable place for the garrison.

With the dim lighting, you can browse the map little by little, and carefully observe the mountains and rivers, plains and a few mountain ranges on all sides of Yecheng.

When the fish belly in the east was white, Wang Lunyue raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, with a hint of tiredness in his charming face, and said seriously: "Xianggong, the southern countries are vast, and the concubines have the heart to pay attention to the environment of Cai State, and the terrain here is complicated. However, near Yecheng, except for the deep depression in the north where soldiers can be hidden, there is only the eastern mountain range of Lingcheng. Where there are a small number of mountains, the terrain is not too complicated, not only in the terrain is precipitous, whether it is the Vietnamese army or the Cai army, it is not easy to find the traces of 2,000 people in the mountains. ”

"Well, hiding troops in the mountains, the situation couldn't be better!" Lin Feng nodded, very much in agreement with Wang Lunyue's proposal, and he also paid attention to the terrain of Yueyang Mountain. But in a blink of an eye, he said: "Yueyang Mountain is in the east of Lingcheng, and it must pass through the defense of the Vietnamese army, and regardless of whether it encounters the Vietnamese army, just going to the east is entering the hinterland of the Vietnamese army. ”

"Xianggong, the Tibetan soldiers are deep in the recess, and there is no doubt that they will lead the soldiers into the place of death, and they must not go there!" Wang Lunyue denied the deep recess in the north of Yecheng and continued: "The area of Yueyang Mountain cannot be visited at present, Xianggong can't be too risky, it's really not good, let's retreat to the western forest, besides, Xianggong wanders away from the southern countries, and he doesn't have to wade into the water." ”

In Wang Lunyue's view, no matter how the situation between Cai and Yue changes, even if Cai Guo is captured by the Vietnamese army, it is not as important as Lin Feng's personal safety.

When they are helpless, they disband the infantry around them, either continue to travel south and travel around the world, or go north to return to Dayan and participate in the battle of Cai Yue, they have many choices!

"When the Vietnamese army continues to attack the city, let's take advantage of the darkness to march east!" Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, when he didn't come to a dead end, he still didn't want to give up the idea of establishing his own power in the south.

At this time, Luo Da appeared outside the tent, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's not good, there will be something important to tell you at the end!" ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he quickly walked out of the big tent, and without waiting for him to speak, Cao Aman hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the spies scattered around the periphery have sent news that the Vietnamese army has sent many cavalry, and they are searching closely from the direction of Lingcheng, and they are coming in the direction of Yecheng!" ”

"Siege? There are still signs! Lin Feng was taken aback and asked incredulously.

Cao Aman had never been there, and he didn't know the specific details, so he could only follow his usual experience and said: "The brothers are all veterans, and they are sure that the Vietnamese army is not attacking the city!" It seems that what is being looked for, and the investigation will most likely not be wrong? ”

"Looking for what?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, and suddenly had a bad thought in his heart!

The siege was imminent, and the Vietnamese army did not continue to attack Yecheng against the trend, but let people search between Lingcheng and Yecheng, fearing that they might be looking for their traces.

After all, after attacking the Vietnamese siege troops, he expected that the Vietnamese army would definitely spend time to find the traces of his squad and annihilate them.

"How many people are there?" Lin Feng asked the key question, hoping that the number of Vietnamese troops would not be too much, otherwise, he would have to retreat in the direction of Mocheng, but he really couldn't, he had to enter the forest in the west!

"The number of spies sent is too small, and it is impossible to determine the number of opponents at present, but according to the spies, the number of Vietnamese troops is very large, at least tens of thousands!" Cao Aman said.

There are only 200 personal guards, not only to protect everyone's safety, but also to investigate the situation on all sides, it is inevitable that a little weak will not be enough, it is difficult to cover everything, if in the north, Cao Aman would have personally asked for his life and led the troops to annihilate this group of bold guys!

Hearing this, Lin Feng didn't say much, and instructed Cao Aman: "Quickly order the whole army to transfer, you must leave before the Vietnamese army arrives!" ”

More than 10,000 well-trained Vietnamese soldiers are deliberately looking for his traces, and absolutely 2,000 cavalry can be blocked, and if they do not evacuate, they will be found by the Vietnamese army, and a bloody battle will inevitably occur.

"Your Majesty, where are you retreating?" Cao Aman asked.

"Retreat fifteen miles, look at the movements of the Vietnamese army, it's really not possible, introduce it into the forest to the east, and look for a total opportunity to kill!" Lin Feng's words were cold.

"Yes!" Cao Aman hugged his fists.

In the direction of Yecheng, not long after Mu Junyan returned to the city, the spies sent overnight brought back news. It is claimed that on the outskirts of the forest leading from Yecheng to Mocheng, there are thousands of corpses of officials and infantrymen, most of whom have been shot and killed, and the rest of the people all have long knife marks on their bodies.

Looking at the situation, it seems that it happened within two days, and the officials and infantry, without any ability to fight back, were completely wiped out by the other side, and it is unceremonious to say that where there has ever been a small-scale, asymmetrical battle!

Hearing the sound, Mu Junyan's face was cold, the periphery of the forest, only about a hundred miles away from Mocheng and Yecheng, there have been no Vietnamese troops there so far, why are there a large number of corpses?

Unless...... He couldn't help but think of Lin Feng, at least in his opinion, the killing could have come from the other party's hands.

As far as he knew, within two days, the only person who crossed the forest from Mocheng and arrived in the direction of Yecheng was Lin Feng, not to mention that the other party had two hundred cavalry by his side.

For a while, Lin Feng's surroundings became more and more confusing.
