Chapter 68 Fiction and Reality Are Indistinguishable
Lin Feng's current position was only a few dozen meters away from the city gate, and he immediately rushed to the city with a group of brothers, and met Ge Chang and Panlong, the deputy generals of the West City Lord, as well as Lin Renzhao, Xi Mucheng, Han Xizai, Shi Xubai and others who led Li Congqian and Chen Fei to a group of children.
Lin Feng held the head of the city and looked west, about a mile to the west, countless Zhou troops stood in three phalanxes, densely packed with torches, a few cavalry were at the front of the phalanx, behind them, were crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, looking like they were waiting for the battle.
Lin Feng slammed the city in front of him fiercely, if he gave himself 10,000 cavalry, no, 5,3000 would do, from the time he had just withdrawn to now, if he had a cavalry sneak attack that was as fast as the wind and like thunder, today's battle would be perfect!
Li Congqian squeezed over, and said regretfully: "It's good that the cavalry of the forbidden army is here, take advantage of the fact that they are advancing in formation, and make a surprise attack, and the results will be abundant!" ”
Lin Feng touched Li Congqian's hair appreciatively, and said loudly: "Then let them be proud for a while!" Don't worry, don't look at them now, sooner or later they will all be captives of our Shouzhou! ”
Lin Feng had no way to sneak attack, but that didn't mean he wouldn't be bad. He called out to Ge Chang and whispered a few words, and Ge Chang immediately called a personal guard and gave the order.
After a while, the trebuchet located about forty meters behind the city wall made its own sound, and the two stone balls happily broke away from the shackles of the trebuchet, surpassed the city wall, crossed the night sky, and smashed more than ten meters in front of the Zhou army's battle array.
The entire battle formation of the Zhou army immediately seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and the soldiers subconsciously jumped back, only to find that there was no follow-up stone throwing, and then slowly recovered the formation.
"That is the warning stone of Xiao Zhou's army, those who dare to enter the area will not be responsible for stoning to death!" Lin Feng nodded at the two throwing stones, hugged Li Congqian and said with a smile, "Okay, the enemy is just putting on a show so that he can camp overnight!" Let's rest, we should rest, there will be no fighting for at least three days! ”
After the Zhou Zhou about 160,000 troops, just camping is enough to keep them busy until dawn, and now all the trees outside Shouzhou City have been cut down in advance, all kinds of siege equipment Zhou army can only be transported from the rear and manufactured in the rear, which is enough for them to be busy for a while!
After a while, soldiers in the northern, southern, and eastern cities ran along the city wall to report the news, and the situation in each city was exactly the same.
At this time, Lu Jiang walked quickly to the head of the city, leaned over to Lin Feng's side and reported: "Lord Hui, the ships of Shouzhou have all moved in place according to the previous requirements. The upstream has reached the Weishui River Bay, waiting for the next instructions. The downstream has all rushed to Haozhou, and has already been in contact with Lord Haozhou Thorn Shi Guo. ”
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, said hard work to Lu Jiang, and walked up to Han Xizai and asked how the special gift for Zhou Jun was.
Han Xizai punched Lin Feng hard and said with a smile: "It's really fun to follow Zhishan!" It's been ready for a long time, I played at my top level, you just wait and see! ”
Lin Feng laughed, briefly told the cities to be on guard, and then explained a few words to Ge Chang and Panlong, and went down to the city with a group of brothers.
At this time, the night is thick, the cold wind is tight, and the torches outside the city are shaking violently, but each has its own busyness, and the Shouzhou battlefield temporarily enters a quiet transition period before the siege war.
Just when Lin Feng rushed back to the Assassin Mansion with heavy fatigue, the Wuxi battlefield, which had been calm for five days in a row, began to be unpeaceful!
In the first three days of the confrontation between the armies of Wu Yue and the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yuezhong and Wu Jiedu made Qian Wenfeng observe the "abnormal movements" of the Jiangyin army of the Southern Tang Dynasty on the hills by the Taihu Lake at night, and finally decided that the Jiangyin army was just bluffing, and his heart was more certain.
From 27 September, Wu Yuejun began harassment operations one after another. At first, Qian Wenfeng sent some soldiers to line up in front of the Jiangyin military village, intent on inducing the Jiangyin army to fight. But the Jiangyin army let Wu Yue's ruffian soldiers scold the sky, and it was so unpleasant that they never left the village, and they shouldn't even fight the scolding array!
Qian Wenfeng sent troops to scold for a whole day, and when he saw that the other party was intent on being a turtle with a shrunken head, he no longer went out of the camp to challenge, and continuously sent elite soldiers from the East Battalion to sweep the vast area east of Wuxi City.
However, to Qian Wenfeng's dissatisfaction, the 10,000 Wu Yue army swept over, not only did not encounter a few people, but also did not grab much food. It turned out that the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty in this area had received the order of the strong wall and Qingye early, and they all took important property, locked the gate, and retreated to the north with their families.
Feeling helpless, Qian Wenfeng was not reconciled, and on 28 September, he once again gathered the troops of the Western Battalion and took a unified boat to sweep the nets on Taihu Lake. As soon as the big ships of the Wu Yue Navy came out, the Southern Tang Dynasty Naval Army, which was dominated by small warships, avoided the battle one after another, and assembled along the east shore of Taihu Lake to the location of Wuxi City.
Wu Yue's naval army was extremely proud, swept away the stake array and chain array that Jiang **'s army had placed on Taihu Lake a few days ago, and then squeezed Jiang's ** army to the shore of Taihu Lake with great force, and his own fleet forced Jiang **'s army and the infantry on the shore from the south and west at the same time.
The Jiangyin army, which had been completely suppressed, seemed to have completely wilted, and even the nocturnal activity on the hills on the west side of the city was reduced.
However, although the situation is very good, Qian Wenfeng, who has suffered a big loss in the hands of Li Jingda, the king of Ewang in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Jiangyin Jiedu, has not dared to take it lightly, and has continuously infiltrated and sent many scouts to the rear of Wuxi City for several days, but the continuous information received is that the city of Changzhou in the rear of the enemy is closed to the city gate, and the surrounding area is extremely quiet, and the Jiangyin army has no ambush soldiers, and no reinforcements have arrived.
Qian Wenfeng's heart that he had been holding on to finally let go, and when a soldier came to report the enemy's night activities on the hills, he didn't take it to heart, and directly waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat.
On the evening of September 28, after the routine report at night, Qian Wenfeng fell asleep in his clothes.
"Money makes the prime minister, the enemy attacks!" Qian Wenfeng, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of news outside the account.
Qian Wenfeng's heart tightened, and he immediately dragged his tired body to the door of the tent.
The soldier who reported the news pointed to the East Camp and said loudly: "There is an enemy attacking my East Camp!" ”
Qian Wenfeng made a blank face and reprimanded: "How many enemies are there?" Cavalry or infantry? How to attack? ”
The soldier's face froze, and he immediately explained: "The villain was just ordered to come to report the news, and I believe that there are soldiers coming to report the news later." ”
Qian Wenfeng groaned slightly, and immediately ordered the three Duyu Marquis who arrived, one urgently reported to the West Battalion, one urgently ordered the whole battalion to be on guard, and the last one rushed to the East Battalion to report back immediately after finding out the facts.
Not long after, the soldiers of the East Battalion came one after another, and the enemy was attacking from the north and east, with a number of about 500 men each, all of them were soldiers on foot, and they were relatively skilled, and they had been blocked outside the camp at present, and the East Battalion was preparing to send troops out of the camp to encircle and suppress them.
Could it be that Li Jingda is playing a trick of fiction and reality again? Qian Wenfeng immediately set his sights on the West Daying on the shore of Taihu Lake.
