"Good! Brother Ziheng's plan is very clever, I will immediately order Ji Ling to transfer 2,000 soldiers with you! You can go today! Feng Yao immediately adopted Lu Fan's strategy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Afterwards, the generals discussed the details of the siege together, and then they each took orders to leave.

The east gate of Ruyin City was defended by Feng Yao himself, the west gate of the south gate was encamped and defended by Zhou Cangchen respectively, and the north gate was separated by Rushui, and the difficulty of defense was greater, so the number of troops was also the largest, and it was defended by Ji Ling, and the main purpose of defense was to trap Ruyin and force it out of the city for a decisive battle.

The main means of siege is to cut off the grain and grass in the city, and the grain and grass in Ruyin City are mainly transported through Rushui, and a large number of traders transport fresh fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and sheep and other meat, as well as grain, such as millet and wheat, as well as forage for horses to Ruyin by boat every day.

Outside the north gate, Ji Ling set up ten checkpoints along Rushui, and stationed 100 people every 20 zhang to intercept passing ships, not allowing any ships or people to approach one side of Ruyin City, and purchased a large number of grains, grasses, fruits and vegetables that were originally to be transported to Ruyin City, and prepared a long-term siege of Ruyin.

……

In order to attack Ruyin this time, Feng Yao dispatched almost all his troops, and only 500 elite soldiers and 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers were left in Shenxian County, which were jointly led by Xun Zheng and Hu Fen. The total number of troops on the expedition reached 10,000, Feng Yaoqin led 6,000, including 1,500 elites and 4,500 miscellaneous soldiers, and Ji Ling led 4,000, 1,000 elite, 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and the ratio of elite soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers was as high as three to one.

After the turmoil of the Yellow Turbans in Runan, many people were forced to become members of the Yellow Turbans, resulting in a shortage of soldiers and insufficient new recruits, which is why Feng Yao wanted to recruit the Yellow Turbans.

Feng Yao thought about the newly surrendered 2,500 Yellow Turban soldiers, and ordered Zhou Zheng, who was currently the commander of the department, to pacify and mix into the miscellaneous soldiers, Zhou Zheng was originally a commander under Huang Shao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu Commander, since the defeat with Lu Bu, surrendered to Lu Bu and became Feng Yao's corporal, and now he has been promoted to one of Feng Yao's henchmen.

Feng Yao thought that with Zhou Zheng's identity, it might be easier to impress these two thousand and five soldiers and make them completely return to their hearts!

After setting up the camp, Feng Yao ordered Sima Chen Ren to lead 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers to clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses, and ordered Lei Xu to lead 500 elite soldiers to patrol outside.

Wang Ba, Zhang Shi, He Tong, and He Tie each led 500 miscellaneous soldiers to guard around Feng Yao's tent.

The big tent in the middle is Feng Yao's camp tent, and there are as many as fifty Feng Yao guarding outside the tent, and more than forty of these fifty people are selected from the hundred knights under Lu Fan, although the number is only fifty, but the combat power is enough to be five hundred elite soldiers! Among the 100 knights, some of them became county officials, scouts, and generals at all levels! Each knight was given the right arrangement according to his own ability.

Outside Ruyin City, Feng Yao Dazhai

As soon as the night fell, a bright moon jumped out of the air and hung in the air, illuminating the entire military camp extraordinarily brightly, and the campfires were gradually lit between the tents in the army, and the soldiers began to bury the pot and make food.

It was already early autumn, but the weather was the hottest time of the year, Feng Yao sat in the tent and read the battle report for a while, he felt that the heat was unbearable, he threw down the bamboo slips, opened the door curtain, and the cool breeze blew, only to feel that every pore of his body was refreshing.

The guards at the tent door were the chivalrous Yang Wu and two guards, Yang Wu saw that it was Feng Yao who came out, so he knelt down and bowed his hand, "Lord! Can I help you? ”

"It's okay, it's too hot inside, I'll go out for a walk!" Feng Yao said.

"Huh! Today is fifteen?! No wonder the moon is so round! Yang Wu, you go and let Zhao Wang cook more good food and dishes today, and celebrate today's victory together! Feng Yao said.

"Yes! Lord! Yang Wu took the order and left.

Zhao Wang's own martial arts are not high, and he can't meet Feng Yao's current requirements for his personal followers, but he has made a good meal, and since Pingyu City, he has been following Feng Yao out, and he has been loyal and humble for a year and a half, so Feng Yao still keeps him as a personal follower.

Not only Zhao Wang, but also the entourage who followed Feng Yao to raise troops together, Wang Ba, Zhang Shi, He Tong, He Tie, and Zhou Zheng all became the upper governors, and Xu Xian and Chen Ren became military commanders.

Zhao Wang and Liu Shun are not as capable as others, but they also have strengths, Zhao Wang is responsible for the food of Feng Yao and other relatives, and Liu Shun leads the scouts and investigates the news everywhere.

……

There was nothing to do overnight, and the next day, Lu Fan led 2,000 soldiers from Ji Ling to attack Xiyang.

Less than an hour after breakfast, Zhou Zheng came to report: "Lord, two young generals in the Yellow Turban Army are fighting!" ”

"What? Are you saying someone is going to rebel? Feng Yao jumped up.

"No, it's two generals who disagree with each other and fight!" Zhou Zhengdao.

"Then why don't you stop it?" Feng Yaodao.

"Lord, his subordinates are incompetent, come up with a way to choose a martial arts competition, want to choose a subordinate governor from it, it was okay at first, there was a yellow turban general who defeated dozens of opponents one after another, but then a yellow turban general came up, the two of them came and went, and they have been fighting for nearly a hundred rounds, or the victory is not scored, and now the more they fight, the more ruthless they are, the subordinates think that these two generals are talents that can be created, and it would be a pity to lose both sides if they fight again, so I came to ask the lord to decide." Zhou Zheng said in fear.

"Is there such a thing?" Feng Yao became interested all of a sudden, and wanted to see immediately what these two young generals who even Zhou Zheng had to praise looked like, so he smiled and said, "General Zhou, you are doing a good job!" Get up, take me and see what's going on! ”

Feng Yao called ten relatives and then rushed to the temporary camp with Zhou Zheng, and when he arrived at the camp gate, he heard the cheers in the camp continuously, but what made Feng Yao's eyes light up was that the more than 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered yesterday were all standing neatly, and their spirits were not as aggrieved as yesterday, but they were full of morale and discipline, and they looked more powerful than ordinary miscellaneous soldiers!

"General Zhou, I didn't expect you to really have a set! These soldiers have only been surrendered for a day, and they have been trained by you to be so powerful! When this time is over, I'll give you a great credit! Feng Yao said happily.

"Lord, this is all your benevolence and righteousness, your subordinates have only made a little effort, where can you deserve any great merit, if you let other soldiers know, you will definitely feel unfair!" Zhou Zheng replied in a panic.

Feng Yao nodded, didn't say anything, came to the field to take a look, and sure enough, as Zhou Zheng said, the two young generals were inseparable, one was about eight feet tall, making a two-handed big knife, and the other was only seven feet, but his waist and back were more than twice as wide as ordinary people, and he held a wrought iron halberd in each hand.

The two generals came and went, and the weapons in their hands kept colliding, making a piercing sound of gold and iron, which made Feng Yao's heart tremble, and he said in his heart: "What kind of competition is this!" It's clearly a life-and-death struggle! ”
