Above the castle tower!

Zhou Cang stood at a high point, observing the surrounding situation.

At the same time, on the surrounding mountains, some strange flags will appear from time to time, sometimes waving, sometimes stationary, and sometimes changing all kinds of strange patterns.

This is the flag language that Zhou Cang researched according to the military book handed over to him by Huang Yun, and according to the description in the military book, this kind of flag language is more suitable for being above the sea. However, Zhou Cang used it on land and between the mountains.

Looking at those flags, the deputy general who had been following Zhou Cang's side quickly recorded them, because these flags are likely to determine the fate of Xiyuan City.

"General Zhou didn't expect that you have even learned this level of military books, and you are really envious of me." Meng Aniu on the side, looking at the surrounding mountains, admired in his heart, because Huang Yun handed them the military book together, but Zhou Cang was training soldiers and managing the Northern Regions, and now he can even learn the military book to understand it, while Meng Aniu himself just has brute force, he will only fight everywhere, and he has not grown at all.

"As long as you put your mind to it, then you can too." With the passage of time, Zhou Cang has become more calm and calm, and is no longer as unstable as before.

"Listen to the people in the city, I will only give you a stick of incense, if you surrender without opening the city, then when my army arrives and the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the city." The single room looked at Zhou Cang and the others with a cold face.

Hearing his words, the people of Xiyuan City who were helping to consolidate the city's defenses all turned gloomy, thinking that they must have been frightened. However, such a thing is likely to happen every day in the future, so Zhou Cang did not persuade him.

At the same time, Zhou Cang's lieutenant raised his head abruptly and said: "Several generals, according to the intelligence in front, it seems that this army is a lone army coming in depth, and the army behind has not yet appeared in the shadows. ”

"Are you sure?" Zhou Cang's eyes lit up.

"According to the general's defense, six dark posts can be seen where the enemy is coming, and the answers they have transmitted back are all the same." The lieutenant stiffened his body and replied solemnly.

"Alone?" Zhou Cang looked at the enemy soldiers under the city tower, and then looked at the adjutant general and said: "Immediately send a message to the army ambushed in Xishan, so that they can cut off the enemy's way back." And let the ambush of the east mountain cooperate with the actions of the defenders of the west mountain. ”

"General......!" The adjutant general said hesitantly.

"Go ahead...... You don't have to worry about the rest, I'll take care of it. "Zhou Cang said categorically.

Although Zhou Cang is known for his stability, don't forget that Zhou Cang was a naked robber in the past and was more adventurous. It's just that Zhou Cang's adventure is based on a certain success rate. The current situation is undoubtedly of great help to oneself, and the success rate is very high.

Today's Xiyuan City, which has just been recovered, is facing such a situation, which is very dangerous for the Yanhuang Kingdom. After all, the people in the city are forced by the tiger's might, so they will cooperate with the army. Once there is a flaw in the army, or if the battle is lost, then they will definitely be ruthless and betray themselves, and there will be no place for them to cry when the time comes.

Therefore, Zhou Cang must fight a big victory in the early stage of the war, stabilize the morale of the army in turn, let the people around him trust him, trust himself as the supreme commander, and at the same time can use a victory to stabilize the confidence of the soldiers, and at the same time can also give the enemy a head-on blow, so that they know that they are strong.

The deputy general hesitated for a while, but under Zhou Cang's firm gaze, the deputy general finally followed Zhou Cang's wishes and waved the flag towards the mountains on both sides of Xiyuan City.

Standing on top of the city tower, you can see some sneaky figures on the west and east mountains, and they are all moving slowly.

In fact, when these two armies were deployed by Huangyun, they just hoped that they could be stationed on them, and try not to let the enemy army occupy these two mountain ranges. Otherwise, the other party can be condescending and take a general look at the situation in Xiyuan City, then for their own side, they will be in a passive situation.

Therefore, these two troops, from the very beginning of the selection of personnel, have made it clear to them that this is a battle to the death, and they are likely to all die.

Therefore, the number of people in these two places was not very large, and they barely managed to settle two hundred people on two hills.

At this time, they received Zhou Cang's order, and without hesitation at all, they began to rush towards the path that the Luanxing vanguard army could retreat. Before the Luanxing army came, Zhou Cang had already taken them to several times in the surrounding areas. So they know a lot about the terrain around them, the things they have.

Even if they don't have a map, they can easily find the target location with their own senses. What's more, for the sake of safety, Zhou Cang also equipped them with a local person to be used as a guide.

Liangshan received the news, Zhou Cang turned to look at Meng Aniu and said: "General Meng, although it is not yet time to appropriate your life army, but now the situation requires it, so I hope you can lead your life army and go out of the city to kill all the enemy troops outside the city here." ”

"No problem." Meng Ah Niu patted his chest confidently and said.

"Very good, then I will stand on top of the city tower and wait for the good news from General Meng." Zhou Cang smiled and patted Meng Aniu's shoulder.

"I'll prepare the food and drinks by the way, and I'll enjoy them when I get back." Meng Ah Niu said with a big grin, and then turned to leave.

"General, although General Meng's soldiers and horses are very powerful, can they defeat the enemy army on the opposite side with only one army?" Zhou Cang's lieutenant said with a serious expression: "General, you see, this vanguard of the enemy army, they are so well-equipped, if our army wants to annihilate them all, I am afraid it will have to pay three times the price." The number of General Meng's army, which was similar to that of the enemy, was very dangerous in the eyes of the general, who thought that our army should go out with all its strength to destroy the enemy forces outside the city in one fell swoop. ”

"Although what you said is very reasonable, but at this time, I definitely don't want the army in the city to have greater losses." Zhou Cang patted the surrounding city walls with his hand and said: "Next, our army must hold on to the city and block the attack of Luanxing's army, so there can be no casualties, let alone a sense of fatigue, otherwise the enemy will be dragged down first, which is definitely not a good thing for our army, so now, we can only hope that General Meng'a Niu can wipe out the other party in a battle." ”

"I can only hope for that." The lieutenant sighed helplessly.

However, at this time, Zhou Cang's eyes fell on the army behind Meng Aniu, and then said in surprise: "No, why have I never seen the equipment of this army?" ”

"The last general hasn't seen it either, what's going on?" The adjutant general said suspiciously.

"I understand, this must be Your Majesty, the army secretly prepared, it must be so!" Zhou Cang's face suddenly turned rosy, and the generals who joined the Yanhuang Kingdom after joining may not be clear, but Zhou Cang knows very well that their majesty is a person with great powers, mysterious and unpredictable, and can often drive out some unexpected things.

"With this army, even if we can't destroy the enemy army, I think we can capture most of them without major losses." For a while, Zhou Cang's heart rose with boundless self-confidence.

In fact, this army was indeed secretly prepared by Huang Yun, and there were not many of them, but they used up all of Huang Yun's high-quality materials, and the armor and weapons created were definitely beyond the scope of the first-level subject countries, and even beyond the second-level subject countries. This army, which can be said to be the Huangyun Ace Army, is also the first time to go into battle this time, so most people don't know about his existence and don't know about it. The only thing known at present is Huang Yun and Meng'a Niu.

This is also the reason why Meng Aniu looked a little unhappy at the beginning, when he heard that he was going to be a reserve team.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the single room opposite saw the army led by Meng Aniu. However, for the sake of safety, Meng'aniu's army is also all cavalry.

"Wow quack, general, the gates are open, I think they must be preparing to surrender." One of Luan Xing's generals said happily.

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the well-equipped army of Meng'a Niu and immediately closed his mouth.

Shan Fang looked at Meng Ah Niu, there was a bloodthirsty urge in his eyes, he wanted to kill people now.

In the past, Luan Xing went out to conquer the first-class subject countries, and basically there was no resistance on the border, as soon as the vanguard army arrived, those cities began to surrender. After all, they are far away from the imperial city, and the so-called mountain is far away from the emperor, so no one completely follows the instructions of the imperial city. Therefore, the single room will apply to be a pioneer and lead the army to come here to discuss.

Unexpectedly, this time I actually ran into a hard bone.

But this is better, as a general of the army, there is no one who is not thirsty for killing.

Shan Fang is even more of a murderous maniac, every time he goes out on an expedition, he has to go into battle in person, kill a few enemy generals, and then stop.

Therefore, when the single room saw Meng Aniu come out, his face suddenly lit up. Because he could see that the equipment on Meng'a Niu's body, as well as the people who followed him left and right, were all first-class people in the first-class subject country.

Then Meng'a Niu's status must not be low, otherwise it is impossible to be surrounded by these people in the center.

As long as you kill Meng'a Niu, then even if you can't capture the city, you can get a lot of credit. If the other party is the defender of Xiyuan City, then it is even more important for the siege in the future. Thinking of this, Shan Fang couldn't help muttering: "There is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell, you just break in, you deserve to die in the hands of the general today, I hope that when you go down, you must repent well, haha......!" ”

Meng Aniu didn't seem to see the expression of the single room, but slowly raised his right hand, and then slowly put it down.

"The whole army is ...... charge!"

"The whole army is ...... charge!"
