Chapter 233: Attack on Nanyang
It was also the first time that Lin Yuan had seen that a county had three county towns.
Nanyang City is an innate city.
Tangzhou City and Dengzhou City are the cities developed by the lords the day after tomorrow.
In other words, the development of Nanyang is more prosperous than his Suizhou.
According to Liu Xi, Nanyang County now has 500,000 elite soldiers, all of which are in the hands of the Liu family.
Among them, Nanyang City has 200,000 defenders, and Tangzhou City and Dengzhou City each have 100,000 defenders.
Fangcheng Pass, which leads to Pingdingshan in the north, and Xixia Pass, which enters the Qinling Mountains in the west, each have 50,000 defenders.
The other five third-level county towns each had 20,000 defenders.
In local villages and towns, there are also a large number of village soldiers.
It's really as strong as an iron bucket.
But this time, Lin Yuan was going to drill a hole in this iron bucket.
On September 29, Lin Yuan left Xin Qiji and Lin Chong to sit in Xinye City and be responsible for the follow-up baggage, while he began to secretly send troops towards Nanyang City.
In Nanyang City, there are a total of 200,000 elite soldiers, and the city is tall.
When ordinary people saw this situation, they had already retreated, where did they dare to rush up. ,
Lin Yuan just wants to do the opposite!
He just wanted to attack this city, take advantage of the Liu family's light enemy's heart, defeat the defenders of Nanyang, and make the entire Nanyang County chaotic.
Moreover, most of the core members of the Liu family are in Nanyang City.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, only by holding these Liu family members, Lin Yuan has the bargaining chips in his hands.
This time, he only brought 10,000 white horse followers, and he traveled lightly.
The army took advantage of the night to set off, and under the guidance of Liu Xi, they avoided almost all the posts along the way, and the road was unimpeded.
After two days of traveling, the army finally arrived 100 miles outside Nanyang City.
Lin Yuan began to order people to rest in the hills, and rested for two days in a row, and on October 3, the army began to approach Nanyang City.
When the army was less than 30 miles away from Nanyang City, they were discovered by the patrolling city guards.
The Nanyang City Guards sounded the alarm.
The whole Nanyang suddenly became in turmoil, and the garrison urgently closed the city gates, blocked the entry and exit streets, and entered the first-level guard.
"What's going on?"
"Lin Ziyi of Suizhou has led a large army to suddenly appear in Nanyang City!"
"What! Lin Ziyi is about to attack Nanyang City, why didn't the sentry posts along the way notice it? ”
"I don't know, he only led a cavalry, maybe he hurried at night and deliberately avoided it."
……
At this time, in the Nanyang City Lord's Mansion, a group of Liu family disciples were in chaos.
While they were discussing, a messenger suddenly came from outside the city.
"Report! Outside the city, Liu Xi asks to see! ”
"Liu Xi? Isn't he in Shinno City? How did you come here? ”
"I understand, the reason why Lin Yuan was able to run to Nanyang City is because of the way led by this person!"
"Damn this man!"
A group of young people, you and me, made the city lord's hall noisy again, like a vegetable market.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, directly overpowering everyone's voices.
When everyone looked over, they saw a handsome young man wearing a golden crown on his head and purple jade on his waist, walking in from outside the hall.
He was accompanied by a group of civil and military ministers.
Everyone lowered their heads after seeing this golden-crowned young man.
"See the Son!"
This person is actually the speaker of Nanyang Liu's family.
The surname is Liu, the single name is a martial artist, and he is only 18 years old this year.
Liu Wu's eyes were arrogant, and he walked through the crowd, his neck raised high, like a proud little rooster.
He walked up to the main seat and sat down.
"Let Liu Xi enter the city!" I only heard him speak.
"Yes!" When the people below heard this, they immediately went to do it.
And soon, Liu Xi was put into Nanyang City and entered the City Lord's Mansion.
After Liu Xi saw Liu Wu, he knelt down on one knee and bowed directly, "Liu Xi, see the son!" ”
"Humph!" Liu Wu snorted coldly, slapped the coffee table directly, and asked, "Liu Xi, let me ask you, why did Lin Yuan come to my Nanyang City unnoticed!" ”
After listening to Liu Wu's accusation, Liu Xi sweated on his forehead and said, "Shizi, this is none of my business!" ”
"Lin Yuan led a large army and attacked my Xinye City at 5 o'clock in the morning, and before I could react, his generals occupied the City Lord's Mansion."
"After Lin Yuan occupied Xinye City, he didn't have any rest, and came directly to Nanyang City, saying that he was going to attack Nanyang City! They had arrived two days earlier and had been camping in the hills 100 miles outside the city. ”
"What!" Liu Wu's expression changed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed on his face.
The surrounding Liu children changed color one after another, and the scene was noisy again.
Liu Wu's expression was gloomy, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Let me ask you again, how many troops did Lin Yuan bring to attack my Nanyang City this time?" ”
Liu Xi replied: "All of them are cavalry, a total of 10,000 people!" ”
"What!"
Liu Wudu was a little suspicious that he had misheard.
"Only 10,000 cavalry?"
"Yes!" Liu Xi nodded solemnly, he had seen the white horse with his own eyes, and he knew the slaughter of this cavalry, so he was extremely dignified.
Others, however, don't think so.
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
Liu Wu laughed even more breathlessly, as if he had heard the best joke.
"Liu Xi, are you mistaken, Lin Yuan really only brought 10,000 cavalry?"
"Absolutely." Liu Xi nodded solemnly, "Let's not underestimate this cavalry, this cavalry is an elite cavalry, very powerful!" ”
"How powerful can it be?" Liu Wu relaxed.
"10,000 cavalry, even if they are all sixth-order cavalry, in front of my Nanyang City, they can't make any waves!"
"Not bad! I have 200,000 defenders in Nanyang City, as well as 10,000 sixth-order lancers, anyone who comes to provoke our Nanyang City is asking for their own death! ”
"Lin Ziyi thinks that he is invincible in the world, and with only such a small number of troops, he dares to run to my Nanyang City to spread wild, we must not let him go this time!"
"That's right, it just so happens that I'm the Nanyang Liu family, borrowing Lin Ziyi's head to stand up!"
"Yes, go out of the city and kill him!"
……
Liu Wu waved his hand, and everyone fell silent.
I saw Liu Wu standing on the top, his eyes swept over everyone present with joy.
"I want to go out of the city to destroy the enemy, who of you wants to go with me?"
"I do!"
"I do, too!"
"And me!"
……
A group of Liu's children competed with each other.
"Good!" Liu Wu was overjoyed, "Feng Yi, you immediately go and order 10,000 sixth-order lancers, plus 20,000 fourth-order cavalry, and 70,000 fourth-order foot soldiers, I will go out of the city and destroy Lin Ziyi!" ”
"No!" In the crowd, a huge military general walked out and hugged his fists heavily.
Liu Wu's army was integrated very quickly, and it only took an hour for it to assemble outside the city.
Looking at it from a distance, the black pressed 10 phalanxes.
That's exactly 100,000 people!
