Chapter 63 Lu Ye besieged the city

In the forest of Lu Ye City, the sunlight is obscured by layers of leaves, leaving only traces on the ground. There are longer human-height bushes on the ground, obscuring the view and making the forest of Luye City even more mysterious.

There was a creak, a fallen leaf was trampled, and a cyan figure emerged from the woods. I saw this person bent on his waist, poked his head and looked around, and after investigating that there was no danger at all, he learned a bird call, and a group of Guanbei soldiers wearing green armor and holding weapons in the rear heard the sound and quietly followed.

Since Wei Zeng led the army into the forest of Lu Ye City, a large number of demon cultists and Guanbei soldiers have also infiltrated this forest, and their purpose is to use the cover of the forest to make Wei Zeng hate it.

The forest of Luye City is the base camp of the demon cultists, and now the demon cultists lead people to sneak in the forest, just like birds flying into the sky and fish swimming in the water without hindrance. The Yanbei army, which had been cautiously marching forward, was the prey in the eyes of these demon cultists.

The scattered demon cultists have been constantly harassing, making the Yanbei army unstable; After a large number of demon cultists heard the news of Wei Zeng and several main generals, they surrounded them and attacked them, wanting to kill the main general of the Yanbei army by surprise. The current group of demon cultists was led by Wang Qinwei, and he had already found out about Wei Zeng, and planned to concentrate on capturing and killing Wei Zeng.

"What's going on on the enemy's side? Did they spot us? Wang Qinwei asked a man in Tsing Yi who had returned.

"The enemy is still continuing to advance in the direction of Lu Ye City, and they have not found us either. Now that Wei Zeng is walking ahead with tens of thousands of horses, we can sneak over and surround him. The man in Tsing Yi replied.

"And what about the rest of the enemy army? The last time we attacked Wei Zeng, we failed because others came to the rescue. We can't afford to make that mistake again this time. If the other enemies get too close to Wei Zeng, we still have to find ways to lure them away. Wang Qinwei said.

"In order to besiege Wei Zeng, we have sent people to sneak attack the enemy's left army. Now the left army of the enemy. The people who are still chasing us are going around in circles in the forest. As for the enemy's right army, it was some distance from Wei Zeng and it was too late to support. The man in Tsing Yi replied.

"Well, this is a godsend. We gathered the elite of the Guanbei Army this time, as long as Wei Zeng was surrounded, it would be difficult for him to fly with his wings. But after the last sneak attack. Could it be that Wei Zeng was defenseless at all? "Wang Qinwei still has some questions.

"Of course, he is on guard, he now searches a few hundred meters to the side before marching, and the number of sentry posts has increased significantly. But this forest is our territory, and he wants to guard against us, which is a fool's dream. The man in Tsing Yi replied, his face looking very confident.

"There is no problem with the team. Xiang cut off Wei Zeng's retreat, and then launched an attack, and Wei Zeng must not be allowed to escape. Wang Qinwei felt that this was a good opportunity to attack Wei Zeng, so he ordered a large army to attack.

Now under Wei Zeng's handsome banner. A person wearing battle armor commanded the men and horses to move forward, and from the back, this person was very similar to Wei Zeng, but only from the front did he recognize this person as Yu Chaogui.

Jiang Luqing wanted to lead the enemy to dispatch, of course, it was impossible to really let Wei Zeng take this risk, so Yu Chaogui took on this important task. Along the way, the various units of the Yanbei army deliberately distanced themselves and released flaws to lure the enemy to attack. When the enemy attacked, the other divisions deliberately made the appearance of pursuit, so that the Chinese army came out suddenly. All this is to lure the main force of the Demon Sect to come and sneak attack. Many horses lay in ambush nearby, waiting for the enemy to take the bait.

Yu Chaogui pretended to be Wei Zeng and marched all the way. Always be cautious. I don't know when the enemy will appear, and I don't know when it will be a battle to the death, and Yu Chaogui's heart has always been hanging.

Suddenly heard a few birds chirping around, like partridges, like cuckoos, Yu Chaogui had an alarm. Stop the horses and look around. I only heard the sound of a lark screaming into the sky, and the shouts of killing all around were loud, and a large number of demon cultists rushed out of the surrounding dense forests and went straight to Wei Zeng's banner of the Chinese army to kill.

"The enemy really came, and the brothers fought and retreated." Yu Chaogui covered his face. Retreat back under the cover of the soldiers.

The Demon Sect came prepared this time, and the people sent were all the elites of Guanbei, and the number of them was also several times that of the Yanbei front army, and their traces were all over the dense forest within a radius of several miles. As soon as someone discovered Wei Zeng's handsome banner, a burst of bird calls attracted all the demon cultists.

Wang Qinwei personally led people to block the retreat of the front army, and waited for Wei Zeng to arrive to seal the encirclement.

Looking at the panicked retreating Yanbei army, Wang Qinwei was very proud. When Wei Zeng's handsome banner appeared, Wang Qinwei led people to block the front, wanting to see the last frightened appearance of his prey.

"Wei Zeng, where are you going to escape this time? Let's send the head over obediently. Although I lost to you a few years ago, I also gave you a lot of luck four months ago. But the best laugh is the last laugh. You can't escape my palm after all. Wang Qinwei stopped Wei Zeng's banner of the Chinese army and said to the people in it.

"You're right, you have the best laugh until the end. Who do you see who I am? Yu Chaogui tore off the mask and revealed his face.

"You're not Wei Zeng! I know you, you are Wei Zeng's favorite general, called Yu Chaogui. It's not good, it's a trick, retreat quickly. Seeing Yu Chaogui's face clearly, Wang Qinwei had already realized that he had been tricked, and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.

But the two armies had already fought together, and the demon cultists had chased and killed all the way, and they had already risen to the top, and when they heard the retreat order issued by the prince's guard, they seemed at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Now that you're here, don't think about leaving. You demonic cultists should go to your Lord God, why should you stay on earth? Wei Zeng appeared and said to the guards who tried to escape.

"Wei Zeng, since you dare to show up, even if I die today, I will pull you to be a backer." Seeing that the enemy troops were killing from all directions, Wang Qinwei already knew that it would be difficult to escape, so he took out his weapon and killed Wei Zeng.

Wei Zengli also ignored it, and ordered the archers to shoot at the royal guards who rushed over. During the charge, the royal guard was shot into a hedgehog, fell off his horse, and looked dead.

The demon cultists who lost their command scattered and fled under the blows of the Yanbei army. It's just that Wei Zeng has already arranged manpower to intercept everywhere. Inflicted heavy casualties on the flight of the demon cultists.

"Wei Zeng, we have now defeated the enemy in ambush, what should we do next?" Sagaree asked her men to continue to chase and kill the enemy, and when she came by herself, Wei Zeng asked.

"Naturally, it is advancing towards Lu Ye City. This time the enemy has suffered a great loss, and we will not dare to attack again, and we will have a much smoother way forward. Leave the scattered enemies alone. Wait until Lu Yecheng is captured, and it will not be too late to slowly clean them up in the future. Wei Zeng replied.

"It seems that you want to defeat Shui Qingliu completely in one go. However, Lu Ye City is a big city, and it will not be easy for us to conquer it. You need to be prepared for a long siege. Sagaree reminded.

"I naturally know this, but if I can't eradicate the Demon Sect, I will never retreat. From a public point of view, the Demon Cultists are entrenched in Guanbei, and they are a big threat to Shifeng City, and only by completely destroying them can we ensure that our rear is worry-free. Privately. My hatred with the Demon Sect didn't happen overnight, and now it's time to put an end to it. Wei Zeng said resolutely.

After cleaning the battlefield a little, the northern army of Yanbei continued to advance northward, encountering much fewer obstacles along the way, and a few days later came to Lu Yecheng and surrounded and sealed Lu Yecheng.

Shui Qingliu has always been very confident and calm, although he is a little angry because of the successive failures. But he always believed that as long as he planned well, he would definitely be able to defeat Wei Zeng. Now Lu Ye City is besieged. The deep sense of crisis made Shui Qingliu finally unable to calm down anymore. Lu Ye City can be said to be the base camp of the Demon Sect, if Lu Ye City loses, it means that the Demon Sect is facing extinction.

"I didn't expect it to come to this point, and let Wei Zeng hit the door. But it's not over yet, and it's not so easy to capture Lu Ye City. Shui Qingliu looked at the Yanbei army under the city and said angrily.

"Lord Demon. It's better for you to leave Lu Ye City, and we will escort you out of the city desperately." An Qinwei said worriedly.

"I'm not leaving, now Kanbei is my world. How can I give up what I have gotten to others? Beware of those officials and rich businessmen, if someone dares to collude with the enemy, there will be no mercy! I'm going to guard this place myself. What can Wei Zeng do with me? As long as Lao Zuo leads the cavalry over, I will personally regain the lost land little by little. Shui Qingliu said stubbornly.

"But Lord Demon is the leader of the sect, if you have to lose the whole sect, it will be over. I will fight to the death and defend Lu Ye City, and it is better for Lord Demon Lord to leave. I dare to guarantee that before Lao Zuo came, Lu Yecheng would definitely be safe and sound. An Qinwei advised.

"Lao An, I know you are loyal, but this time I can't go. Little ones, do you have the confidence to defend Lu Ye City? Shui Qingliu shouted at the people on the city wall.

The Demon Cultists responded and expressed their loyalty.

"Hearts are available, haha. The little ones, the left guards have already led the cavalry to rush here, as long as the left guards arrive, the enemy can only escape. When the enemy is repulsed, I will give each of you a knight. Shui Qingliu said with a laugh.

The Demon Cultists cheered again.

An Qinwei was worried, but seeing this, he didn't persuade again, and under Shui Qingliu's orders, he arranged for defense.

"Fight against the water, if you don't die, you live! Wei Zeng, it's time for the hatred between us to end. Shui Qingliu looked at the dark passage outside the city.

Wei Zeng looked at Lu Cheng, and Ye Cheng's heart also made waves.

"The Demon Cultists are the scourge of Kanbei, and this time it is just right to wipe you out. I promise you to avenge you, and I'm going to do it soon. When the Guanbei is pacified, I will go west to eliminate Zhang Ling, and then go to the Guanxi to personally bring you back. ”

Winter in Kanbei comes very early, and the north wind begins to howl in August and September, and the weather begins to turn cold. The north wind howled all night, and all the green leaves that had been hanging on the branches of the trees fell to the ground. In the north wind howling, the forests of Lu Ye City were all bare, and the withered yellow lined the pale color of the sky, showing the intent of slaughter.

Under Lu Yecheng, the Yanbei army has besieged the city, and the siege equipment in the camp has been rushing day and night, and the sentry posts under Wei Zengbu outside the camp have also always observed the movements of the enemy army to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking.

"Is it possible for us to take Lu Ye City before winter comes? The winter in Kanbei is very cold, and I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear it for a long time camping in the wilderness. In the unlikely event that heavy snow falls and cuts off our logistical supplies, we will have the only way to retreat. Wei Zeng asked.

Wei Zeng was bent on destroying the Demon Sect, but Lu Ye City was also a dangerous city, and it was not easy to conquer it for a while, so Wei Zeng summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Lu Ye City is too dangerous, and if we attack strongly, we will definitely pay heavy casualties. The Demon Sect still has strength, and if we give them a chance to fight back, I'm afraid we will be in a dangerous situation. So the assault is definitely on the underside. If you want to defeat and capture Luye City, first, besiege the city for a long time, and when the enemy runs out of food and grass, the army will inevitably surrender; The second is to find a way to destroy the enemy's living forces, and when the enemy understands that resistance is futile, he will naturally surrender. Jiang Luqing replied.

"Luye City is a big city, and the grain and grass in the city can be used by tens of thousands of troops for a year, so can we just consume it with the enemy? And since we besieged the city, the enemy has not been able to hold out, how can we destroy their living force? Neither option will work. Wei Zengyi frowned and vetoed.

"The enemy still has tens of thousands of horses in the direction of Hebing City, Lu Ye City is surrounded, and the people in the direction of Hebing City will definitely come back to support. Finding a way to eliminate these reinforcements can greatly damage the morale of the Demon Cultists. Jiang Luqing replied.

"Fight the enemy's reinforcements? This is a good idea, as long as the enemies of Lu Ye City are isolated, it will definitely dampen their determination to resist. Send people to find out the movements of the enemy in the north, and find an opportunity to beat them up. Wei Zeng agreed.

"We have already found out about the movements of the enemy in the north. However, according to the reports of those who returned, a large number of cavalry appeared in the north, and it was heavy cavalry, numbering tens of thousands, which did not seem to be easy to deal with. Yu Chaogui replied.

"Heavy cavalry? A few months ago, the enemy had instigated the Chamuns to attack our rear, and it was not uncommon for them to get a large number of horses because the Demon Sect and the Chamun had colluded. However, the dense forest of Lu Ye City is our barrier, and the cavalry fighting in the dense forest will greatly weaken their combat effectiveness, and it is not impossible to find the right opportunity to defeat them. Yu Chaogui, you should find out the movements of the enemy's cavalry, and don't be caught off guard by the enemy's cavalry. Wei Zeng knew what cavalry meant in infantry combat, and he didn't dare to despise it, so he asked Yu Chaogui to personally lead people to guard against it. (To be continued.) )
