Chapter 133: Pacifying Yanchuan County (3)

Intelligence has been shown to the point that any qualified commander can come up with similar decisions. And these generals promoted by Yang Qi, except for the loyal Wang Wei and Sun Jie, who rose up bravely in battle, none of the others are mediocre, and their military literacy is quite high.

Jiang Feng, who claimed to be a strategist, smiled even more silently.

"Our people, coming out of the Kunyun Mountain Range, suddenly appeared in Lingzhou Mansion City, besieging but not attacking, attracting the rescue of the garrison regiment of Longge City. Once the defenders of Dragon Pavilion City come out, they will be eliminated immediately, and then they will either storm or pretend to be officials and soldiers to return from suppressing bandits, and deceive the door of Dragon Pavilion City. As long as we have Longge City in our hands, we can not worry about the interference of the officials and the army, and turn our heads to calmly clean up the six mansions of Yanchuan! ”

Jiang Feng confidently said his plan, maybe there were still details that needed to be improved, but on the whole, he had already thought about it.

"Good strategy, Mr. Jiang is really resourceful, but ....."

Yang Qi's voice changed and said slowly.

"The keeper of Dragon Pavilion City is the wealthy family of Yanchuan, the patriarch of the Xie family, Xie Yan, this person is cautious and cautious. Even if the city is in trouble, it will never send the main force to rescue it. ”

"How important Dragon Pavilion City is, as long as this city is not broken for a day, reinforcements from the outside world will continue to come here, Xie Yan knows the importance of this city. Once discovered by this person, it is very likely that he will sit idly by and let our army run rampant. Taking the opportunity to threaten the center of the empire, relying on the accumulation of hundreds of years of the Xie family, he was able to raise more than 100,000 elite troops in just a few months. ”

Jiang Feng and the other generals were shocked when they heard this, and they were immediately silent, especially the wealth obtained by Zhang Wuwu's destruction of Yuan's Wuwu Fort was enough to support the training and consumption of 100,000 soldiers, and this was only a medium-sized family.

The Xie family has been operating here for hundreds of years, when the Xie family established the Xie dynasty in Yanchuan County, and was carried by the Dahong Taizu with a three-foot sword, pacifying the world, the Xie dynasty was defeated, and surrendered to the Dahong Empire.

It has been more than 300 years, and at least half of today's Yanchuan County is under the control of the Xie family.

Now that the empire is in crisis, it is difficult to ensure that the Xie family does not have the idea of rebuilding the dynasty, and the construction of the fortress of Longge City, the Xie family has made great efforts, on the surface it was built at the expense of the empire, but in fact, it is the power of the Xie family, which has consumed a huge amount of money and built such a base with the efforts of several generations.

The empire uses Yandu City as a radiation to control the entire Yanchuan County, while the Xie family uses Longge City as the foundation to hold the throat of Yanchuan County, and the two are vigilant and dependent on each other and contained.

"Marshal, if that's the case, give the Xie family an excuse to expand the army, even if Yanchuan County is pacified, our strength will always be restrained by Longge City."

Jiang Feng frowned, if he stormed a military fortress like Longge City, the losses of the rebel army would be too great.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Feng said: "Attacking is the next strategy, even if we have a giant siege weapon like the return cannon, I am afraid we will not be able to break through the walls of Dragon Pavilion City. What's more, in order to speed up the march, most of the siege weapons were burned. ”

The generals understood and nodded, and now it was too late to build the return cannon.

"At present, whether it is the empire or the Xie family, we still don't know that our army has come to Yanchuan County, and our army can be broken into pieces and disguised as beggars, caravans, and ordinary people to infiltrate Longge City. When the army arrived, he opened the city gate and captured Longge City in one fell swoop. ”

At this time, Zhao Gong walked out and said a suggestion that made everyone's eyes shine.

"General Zhao is indeed resourceful, but you may not know the defensive structure of Dragon Pavilion City. Come on, bring the third sand table. ”

Soon, two personal guards moved a sand table of the city, on which the city's defenses were clearly marked.

"This ...... Could it be ......" Jiang Feng pointed to the sand table suspiciously, and his uncertain tone was silent for a moment.

"Yes, this is the internal structure of Dragon Pavilion City, from here it can be seen that it is divided into three defenses, the city gate, the outer city, and the inner city. The inner city, in particular, cannot control the entire city without occupying it. ”

Yang Qi pointed to a place on the second floor of the sand table and said.

"There are at least three lines of defense in the inner city here, and even if you break through the city gate and the outer city, you will lose a lot of troops by storming the inner city."

When Zhao Gong heard this, he also fell into deep thought, and the other generals also found it tricky and difficult.

"I don't know what the big marshal has to solve it!?" Jiang Feng saw that Yang Qi was not shocked, and his calm and relaxed demeanor knew that Yang Qi had a solution in his chest.

"I learned of a passage that leads directly to the inner city." Then there was no more talk.

"That's true!" The generals were overjoyed, once the Dragon Pavilion City was breached, Yanchuan County would be in the bag.

................

The eastern gate of Dragon Pavilion City opened on time as usual, and hundreds of heavily armed Imperial soldiers stood guard at the gate, intimidating the outlaws.

Outside the east gate, before the city gate was opened, hundreds of people gathered waiting to enter the city, among them there were vegetable farmers from the countryside, there were also caravans waiting to enter the city, and more were beggars and exiles from other places, they were not allowed to stay in the city at night, so they could only enter the city during the day and leave the city at night.

"Let the convoy get out of town first!" In the face of the crowd, the officers who maintained order shouted hoarsely, and the heavily armed Imperial soldiers drew their swords to maintain order.

More and more people had gathered outside the city and waited to enter the city, but now they were all driven to the side of the road by the stubborn, murderous Imperial soldiers.

With the creaking sound of the wheels, the transport convoy escorting military rations and weapons and equipment slowly drove out of Longge City, and thousands of carts walked for an hour before they completely passed through the city gate.

Because of the frequent use of troops by the empire, Yeoncheon County had to transport a large amount of supplies to the center of the empire every month, so several convoys of transport were sent to the north.

Li Cunyi blended into the city with the elite of the Black Flag, he was now dressed in a beggar's tattered clothes, holding a broken bowl, mingling in the crowd, and a pair of shining eyes looked around at this majestic city.

The dragon flag fluttering on the city wall sounded fiercely, the patrol soldiers who were stubborn and stubborn walked with a sonorous and powerful sound, and the crossbow arrows that stretched out the city chopped out flashed with cold light, although the standing garrison of Dragon Pavilion City was not many troops, but it was heavily guarded.

With the completion of the transport convoy, Li Cunyi mixed in the crowd through the long road, entered Longge City, facing the busy wide street, although Li Cunyi was amazed by the prosperity of Longge City, but still quickly walked towards his predetermined place.

Hundreds of Black Banner agents disguised as beggars, merchants, outcasts, etc., entered the fortified military fortress in batches, but the Imperial troops stationed there were unaware.
