Chapter 657: Internal Response
As soon as Li Dingguo asked for battle, the rest of the generals were also enthusiastic, and they all clamored to attack the city.
"If we attack with all our might, we may not be able to defend it with Yang He's ability, but don't forget, above the west, there are still 10,000 cavalry of Yang Qiu eyeing it, and this enemy army should not be underestimated." Zhang Yuan waved his hand calmly, signaling the generals to calm down.
Zhang Yuan waved his hand and suppressed the excitement of the generals.
"At this time, the king can still remain neither arrogant nor impatient, which is really the blessing of my Great Zhou." Li Si bowed his hand and praised.
Li Dingguo gave him a blank look, "I said Li Si, don't shoot the king's ass, don't forcibly attack the city, then what do you say, do you continue to engage in any psychological offensive to scare Yang and the dog mongrel, and you can't surrender." ”
Zhang Yuan smiled, looked at Li Si, and asked him for Si Ce.
"Well, Fancheng is strong, not inferior to the city, there is plenty of food and grass in the city, there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there are Yang Qiu's cavalry in the west, but the water war is not our strong Li, at this moment, it is really a headache......" Li Si muttered, and couldn't think of anything for a while.
At this moment, Feng Yixing rushed in outside the tent and enshrined a letter to Zhang Yuan.
Under the curious gaze of everyone, Zhang Yuan unfolded the silk book, only glanced at it a few times, and his young face couldn't help but burn with extreme excitement, and he couldn't help laughing wildly. At night, the king of the Zhou army tented.
All the generals gathered, and Zhang Yuan summoned them to the king's tent overnight, and announced to the generals the decision to storm Fancheng.
As soon as it dawns tomorrow, Li Cunxiao will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the north gate of Fancheng head-on.
In the direction of the east gate, Zhang Xutuo led an army of 10,000 to feint, and as for the west gate, as well as the south gate, which was not originally encircled, it was abandoned.
As soon as the order to attack the city was given, Li Dingguo and other generals who advocated a strong attack were naturally enthusiastic.
"——" Zu Di coughed dryly a few times, and arched his hand: "The king, with all due respect, the last general has recently circled around Fancheng, and with my observation, it seems that the city defense on the first line of the West Gate is a little weaker than the rest of the gates, and the Great King Zhong is not the main attack on the West Gate?" ”
"Here's why." Zhang Yuan smiled secretly, and then showed the silk book secret letter to Zu Di.
Zu Di was stunned, took it suspiciously, and his firm face suddenly burned with surprise, "The enemy general Zhou Yan actually wants to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and offer the door to help us break the city?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the generals in the big tent were also inspired.
Li Si also suddenly realized, and understood that Zhang Yuan had laughed wildly for Zhong before, and insisted on attacking for Zhong, but he said: "I don't know if this Zhou Yan's surrender is a real surrender or a fake surrender?" ”
Zhang Yuan's eyes looked at Cheng Chu, "Cheng Chu, you have been in Nanyang for a long time these years, and you should have known all about the people and customs of Liangzhou, do you think that this Zhou Yan's surrender is a little true?" ”
Cheng Chu stroked his short beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "Zhou Yan is from a humble background, but martial arts are quite good, I heard that the ability to command the army is not weak, it stands to reason that it is the talent of the member Dong Zhou, but the king also knows that Han Sui has always looked at his background first, so Zhou Yan has served Han Sui for many years, but he is still only a captain, according to this calculation, he should have a grudge against Han Sui, and Deng thought that his surrender was eight points true." ”
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, obviously Cheng Cheng's analysis was on his heart.
Although Zhou Yan is famous in history, he is just a little person at this time, but Cheng Chu can understand such a little person so well, which shows that he has put a lot of effort into guarding Nanyang over the years.
Zhang Yuansui sneered and said sarcastically: "Zhou Yan is such a talent, Han Sui doesn't know how to reuse it, he deserves to kill himself, this king's son of heaven is really not ordinarily good, it's really heaven to help this king." ”
At that moment, Zhang Yuan was convinced of Zhou's surrender, so that the generals did not need to be pregnant anymore, and each acted according to the order, preparing to attack Fancheng together.
The order was handed down, the generals retreated with the hunting and fighting spirit, Zhang Yuan stood outside the tent door, staring at the direction of Fancheng in the night, and the killing machine in the eagle's eyes had been wildly burned.
"Han Sui, don't you think that Fancheng is impregnable, Lao Tzu will give you another surprise."
……
West Gate of Fancheng.
A young lieutenant, with deep brows and heavy eyes, calmly walked on the city wall, inspecting the situation outside the city.
After walking a few steps, he stopped, and a team of people appeared in front of him, and the first one who rode a big horse and had a strong momentum was Yang He, the coach of Fancheng.
Yang He inspected the Zhou Yan defense area, summoned Zhou Yan to the front as usual, picked the bones in the egg for a long time, pointed at Zhou Yan, and told a lot of truths, as if Zhou Yan was a small soldier who didn't know the art of war, and he still needed him to guide.
Zhou Yan frowned, listened to it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "The last general has been leading the army for many years, and the matter of defending the city is very clear, so I don't have to worry about the general." ”
"What about leading the troops for many years, bringing soldiers for so many years, and just a small captain, it can be seen that you don't have any ability, I am impatient to explain a few words to you, if there is any flashing spirit, can you afford to take responsibility......" Yang He reprimanded Zhou Yan with a face.
Zhou Yan was reprimanded, he wanted to be dissatisfied, he secretly gritted his teeth, and wanted to attack several times, but in the end he just held back.
Yang He had learned enough lessons, so he glared at Zhou Yan and left.
"You don't know how to fight, if it weren't for the power of your Yang family, how could you ride on my head, if I Zhou Yan wasn't from a humble background, how could I be just a school captain for so many years, hum, wait, you clan waste, the days of riding on my Zhou Yan's head are coming to an end......"
Zhou Yan looked coldly at Yang He's head and left, and in his eagle eyes, a cold revenge and killing machine quietly burst out.
……
The next day, the Zhou army's large-scale attack on Fancheng began.
According to the prior plan, Zhang Yuan ordered tens of thousands of Great Zhou soldiers to launch an unprecedentedly fierce attack on the two city gates in the northeast of Fancheng.
Zhang Yuan naturally knew that Fancheng was strong, and forcibly attacking the city could only be in vain, but in order to cooperate with Zhou Yan's internal and external cooperation, Zhang Yuan had to invest some money to attract Yang He's attention.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhou army attacked very hard for two days, paying the price of more than 1,000 soldiers killed and wounded, but they failed to shake Fancheng at all.
After Yang He repelled Zhang Yuan's two-day onslaught, he gradually found his self-confidence, and couldn't wait to send people to the south bank to send good news to Han Sui to invite him.
And the self-confidence of the defenders of Fancheng has also been improved from these two victories, and the Fujian army began to feel that the legendary Zhang Yuan does not seem to be so terrible, and the myth of invincibility will be ended in their hands.
