At this time, Li Feng led an army of 50,000 to join Su Feiguang's 20,000 troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Li Feng asked, "Su Feiguang, what is the movement of the southern bandit army now?" ā
Su Feiguang said: "After the reconnaissance of the spies I dispatched, now the eight county towns of the southern bandit army have become autonomous, and the peasants have also cultivated, and the scene is still relatively prosperous!" ā
Li Feng asked again: "What about the military aspect?" What is the state of the county town? ā
Su Feiguang said: "The military situation of the southern bandit army is not very good, I have been in the county seat, the city guards are basically iron knives and self-made spears, bows and crossbows are even less, as for catapults or something, I haven't seen a single one!" ā
Li Feng was puzzled: "If this is the case, then why did the original 50,000 bandit army of Yiguo return with a feather?" ā
Su Feiguang explained: "The city guard weapons there are not very good, but the victory lies in the complex terrain, we are not familiar with the terrain, and we will suffer a lot when we fight!" ā
Li Feng thought for a while and said: "In this way, let's take a look at the county first, if the terrain is complicated, let's scout first, if we can still deal with it, let's first lay down the county town to govern, what do you think?" ā
Su Feiguang thought for a moment and said, "Everything is under the orders of the deputy commander!" ā
Li Feng nodded and said, "Okay, gather the army, set off immediately, and bombard their city gate with artillery!" ā
Soon the 70,000 army came to the first county seat, and after the ten cannons were erected, Li Feng shouted to the southern bandits: "Abandon the city and surrender, spare you from dying!" ā
When the southern bandit army heard Li Feng's words, they didn't answer!
Li Feng shouted to the gunner: "Prepare the cannon, aim at the city gate, fire!" ā
The cannon sound of "bang bang bang" came out, and the gate of the county town was directly shattered by the cannonballs, and the southern bandit army was a group of peasants, where had they seen such a powerful weapon, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, they all thought it was the gods of heaven, and they were scared to lie on the ground and didn't dare to move.
But no matter how the guards whipped, these recruits didn't dare to get up, and would rather be beaten to death by the guards than offend the gods!
Seeing this, the guard had no choice but to lead his own soldiers to retreat and go to the second county town to report the situation!
Li Feng saw through the binoculars that the soldiers on the city wall were lying on the ground, and realized that this was a good opportunity to attack, so he shouted: "Charge the whole army!" ā
The whole army rushed over, and saw the southern bandit army lying on the ground motionless, and hurriedly seized their weapons and imprisoned them!
Seeing this situation, Li Feng said: "It seems that the county town is very easy to fight, they are all afraid to resist!" ā
Su Feiguang said: "Deputy Commander Li, the generals of the city guard army in this county have all run away, thinking that now that we are ready to defend in the second county town, we can't take it lightly, and the road to the second county town is easy to be ambushed, we can send scouts to reconnoiter the situation along the way first, we would rather slow down than fall into their trap!" ā
Li Feng, as a deputy corps commander, still attaches great importance to the words of his subordinate generals, so he said: "That's fine, send a regiment of scouts to investigate the situation along the way, if you find an abnormality, come back and report it quickly, just take advantage of this time to do a good job in this county, don't let anything go wrong in the rear!" ā
Su Feiguang nodded and said, "Okay, Deputy Commander Li, I'll send troops to investigate, and you will sort out the county!" ā
Okay, I'll give you a day, and tomorrow we'll attack the second county!
At this time, the county general of the bandit army also told the marshal of the southern bandit army the news, and the marshal of the southern bandit army said: "Li Yao's troops are indeed powerful, and they originally drove the Liang army away on the border, but in this one-acre and three-point land, it is not so simple for them to take it!" ā
The county general of the bandit army asked, "Then what should we do?" ā
The marshal of the bandit army said: "Now that the enemy has firearms, if we defend the city, we will definitely not be able to defeat it, and our current military spirit is very weak, if it is dispersed by Li Yao's firearms, it will really be over!" ā
The county general of the bandit army said: "Then what should we do?" ā
The marshal of the bandit army said: "Let's all go into hiding, and then when the enemy army has withdrawn, we will take the opportunity to rebel, and then seize their arsenal, I would like to see what the firearms are like!" ā
The bandit general said, "Okay, then let's do it!" ā
Su Feiguang, who had been scouting for a day, found a big anomaly, and there were no city guards in the remaining seven county towns, so he hurriedly reported to Li Feng and said, "Deputy Commander Li, the remaining seven county towns are no longer guarded!" ā
Li Feng was puzzled: "What does it mean that there is no one to guard?" ā
Su Feiguang said: "It's that after I reconnoitred several county seats, I found that there were no city guards at all!" ā
Li Feng exclaimed: "There are no city guards? What about the people? Are the people still there? ā
Su Feiguang nodded and said, "The people are still there!" ā
Li Feng said: "It's good that the people are still there, let's quickly occupy a city!" ā
Su Feiguang asked, "Is it just occupied?" ā
Li Feng didn't answer Su Feiguang's words, and asked instead: "Feiguang, what did you say about those city guards all disappeared?" ā
Su Feiguang thought for a while and said, "As far as I guess, they didn't disappear, but disguised themselves as ordinary people, and they can't be said to be disguised, because they were originally ordinary people!" ā
Li Feng nodded and said: "I think so too, they want to divide our troops, the eight county towns, we can disperse our troops, so as to carry out a sneak attack, even if they don't sneak attack now, when our army withdraws, they will definitely still have to act!" ā
Su Feiguang asked, "Deputy Commander Li, what should we do?" ā
Li Feng said with a smile: "Since they can disguise themselves as ordinary people, then we can also disguise themselves as ordinary people, and when the time comes, we will pay them off directly!" ā
Su Feiguang asked, "But then our army may not be enough!" ā
Li Feng said: "Then let's come from one city to another, and all the roads will be blocked, so that they can be prevented from escaping, I don't have many cavalry, only a thousand people, and you also have a thousand cavalry under your command, let's form a cavalry brigade with two cavalry, specifically to block the road!" ā
Su Feiguang nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll let my army turn into civilians and lurk, my army is not enough soldiers, and I will be dressed as civilians, absolutely no one will be able to find out!" ā
Li Feng nodded and said, "Okay, you first send people to lurk in various county seats, and then I will start to clear the second county seat!" ā
Su Feiguang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements!" ā
At the same time, the blind man also embarked on the journey with 40,000 cavalry and 70,000 foot soldiers, Chen Jin's forces are more difficult to fight, not to say that their city is strong, if it is stronger than the city, no city can be compared with Yidu, but Chen Jin is originally a military general, he has a lot of veterans, and the soldiers are very old, even if there are firearms, it is not easy to capture it for a while!
When the blind man with 110,000 troops was displayed in front of Meizhi County, the blind man shouted with a megaphone: "Chen Jin, why don't you reply to the edict given to you by King Yi?" ā
Chen Jin also heard the blind man's words, and then sent troops to shout: "General Zhou, when did you start working for King Yi?" ā
The blind man laughed and said: "Chen Fang has announced to the world that he voluntarily gave up the position of King Yi to my eldest brother, and now my eldest brother is a veritable King Yi!" ā
When Chen Jin heard the news, he said angrily: "I didn't expect Li Yao to be such a person, even if Chen Fang wants Zen to give it to me, how can it be Li Yao's turn, I think it must be Li Yao who threatened Chen Fang and forced Chen Fang to give way to him!" ā
The blind man also shouted: "No matter how much you say, it is useless, now King Yi is my eldest brother, we have sent a messenger to inform you in advance, now that three days have passed, if you are still stubbornly resisting, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the cannon!" ā
Chen Jin shouted: "This position of King Yi originally belonged to me, how could it be Li Yao, I am the orthodoxy of Yiguo, how can I recognize a person with a foreign surname as the master!" ā
When the blind man saw Chen Jin like this, he also knew that it was impossible to persuade him to surrender, so he shouted to the gunner: "Fire the cannon for me and flatten this city!" ā
This time, the blind man brought thirty cannons, and bombarded the city gate, and a wave of attacks smashed the city gate, and Chen Jin shouted to the farmer: "Quick, block the city gate for me!" ā
The farmer carried sandbags and went to the city gate, but the cannonballs kept flying in through the city gate, and whoever passed by would die, but would be smashed into a pulp!
For a time, no one dared to go to the city gate to fill sandbags!
Chen Jin asked the veteran next to him, "What should we do?" The city gate can't be blocked, and if they charge, we won't be able to beat it! ā
The veteran said: "Don't panic, the eldest prince, we just need to let the soldiers lie down on the city wall, and then cut the road at the city gate, and when they charge, we will shoot arrows, which will definitely cause them serious losses, and when they rush to the city gate, they will definitely stop when they find that the city gate has no way to go, and then the rear army will press the front army, and the front army will definitely suffer serious losses, so that we can resist their first wave of attacks!" ā
The eldest prince Chen Jin said: "Okay, just do it according to you!" ā
Then let the peasants start digging the pit, and the blind man saw that the people on the city wall were lying still, and shouted: "The first group of thunderbolts, advance, and if the enemy uses trebuchets, withdraw quickly!" ā
The first wave of twenty thunder canisters was ready, and they quickly rushed to a place two hundred steps away from the city wall, and the sappers quickly dug a pit and began to set up the thunder canisters.
Chen Jin saw that the enemy army had begun to set up flying thunder canisters, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do?" ā
The veteran said: "Don't panic, the eldest prince, I'll arrange it!" Then he said to the soldiers behind him: "Prepare a trebuchet to strike at the enemy's thunderbolts!" ā
Because Chen Jin's soldiers are all veterans, the trebuchets are also very skilled, aiming and firing in one go!
When the blind man saw the stones flying out of the sky, he hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" ā
The Flying Thunder Barrel Player, who had already been prepared, quickly retreated backwards, and the Flying Thunder Barrel didn't care!
The rumbling stones smashed to the ground, and more than a dozen thunder canisters were smashed!
The blind man said: "It seems that this attack will not work, and the bombardment with artillery is continuing!" ā
After the first wave of attacks failed, the blind man asked a few quick hands and feet to quickly withdraw the Flying Thunder Barrel.
The adjutant general next to him asked, "General, what should I do?" ā
The blind man said, "Wait for the evening, take the dynamite bag and blow up the city walls for me!" Don't worry about gunpowder, it's the most important thing to unplug this county for me! ā
The deputy general nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it immediately, and I will definitely do it for you!" ā
At this time, Chen Jin saw that the blind army did not attack, and asked the veteran next to him: "They are not attacking now, what should we do?" ā
The veteran thought for a moment and said: "They don't attack now, eighty percent of them are coming to attack at night, we must be fully prepared at night, at least we must often throw torches down to explore the situation under the city!" ā
The eldest prince Chen Jin nodded and said, "Okay, just according to your words!" ā
At night, the defenders of the city wall of Meizhi County are very dedicated, and they will throw torches every other time of incense, and the lights under the city wall are always bright!
Seeing this, the blind man couldn't bury the explosives bag at all, and said angrily: "Open fire on me, wake them all up for me, I'm going to lose their spirits, how will they fight tomorrow!" ā
The cannon rumbled again, and the defenders of Meizhi County were all awakened, Chen Jin hurriedly called the veteran and asked: "What should I do, our soldiers can't sleep at all, they don't have a good rest, how can they defend against their attack tomorrow?" ā
The veteran stood on the city wall, looked at it, and said with a smile: "This is just a feint attack by the enemy, let's divide the general soldiers to go down to the city to sleep, and then change shifts, so that we will have the spirit tomorrow!" ā
Chen Jin asked, "Then what if the enemy army takes the opportunity to attack?" ā
The veteran smiled: "Don't worry, they will never attack, even if they do, we have half of the soldiers who can respond to emergencies, and the remaining half of the soldiers can definitely come over in time!" ā
Chen Jin heard the veteran's words, nodded, and said, "Okay, just follow your words!" ā
Sure enough, the blind man only made a feint, and only fired artillery all night, and there were no other attacks.
When the blind man saw that the enemy army was in good spirits the next day, he couldn't help but secretly say: "This is really a mistake, and it is a waste of time!" ā
Then he asked the adjutant general and said, "What should we do, the enemy army obviously has a general with enough seniority, and this general can guess our movements!" ā
The adjutant general said: "General, otherwise we will use artillery to blow up this general, one cannon will not work, then ten cannons, as long as we kill the enemy's general, our next siege will be much simpler!" ā
The blind man thought for a while and said, "Then do it, you first use the telescope to observe, you must observe the main general of the enemy army, if you can see Chen Jin, it would be better, directly kill Chen Jin for me, so that they will not fight and collapse!" ā
The adjutant nodded: "Okay, I'll inform the gunners that one person will give them a telescope, and I will kill Chen Jin and their main general no matter what!" ā
At this time, Chen Jin and the veteran watched the movements of the enemy army on the city wall, Chen Jin said: "Your method is really good, our soldiers are indeed in good spirits, on the other hand, they are languishing one by one, see how they still beat us!" ā
At this time, the veteran frowned and said, "I always have an ominous premonition, I feel that something big is always going to happen!" ā
Chen Jin said with a smile: "Now they don't have the intention to attack at all, how can they attack us!"
At this moment, the gunners found the target, adjusted the angle one after another, and opened fire.
The speed of the cannonball's flight was not visible to the naked eye at all, and the veteran and Chen Jin didn't notice the abnormality at all, so they were interrupted by the cannonball, and the flesh and blood flew sideways! (To be continued.) )
