Chapter 91, Surprise
Liu Feng did not storm as soon as he came up, and directly attacked Gaojia Town, but constantly sent people to harass and fight every day, although he did not completely besiege the city, he promised not to let anyone enter and exit, and completely separated Gaojia Town and Aoshan City.
Gaojia Town is only a medium-sized town, and the city is two feet high, so it is not difficult to attack. But Liu Feng only sent hundreds of people to attack each time, replaced them if there was a slight damage, and then sent people to attack.
It's not that Liu Feng is too idle, but that he is training and using the battlefield as a training ground. Of the 9,000 men on this expedition, less than 3,000 were those who had been trained for a long time and had been on the battlefield, and most of the rest were new to the army, with little training, and had only participated in the recent battle to sweep the villages, and at most they had participated in the battle against Duomen Town. Although there is training of sixth-order martial generals, these people are not enough to fight for the territory, but Liu Feng does not have much time, only a little bit of training on the battlefield.
Liu Feng is not in a hurry here, but not in Aoshan City and Yucheng.
Let's talk about Yucheng first. The distance between Yucheng and Baizhen is far away, and there are many mountain roads, and the only passage is the valley of dozens of miles east of the original Mengjia Village, otherwise it is necessary to borrow Aoshan City, which is of course not allowed, even if the two sides are temporarily united. This valley is relatively narrow, and there is only one path, which can be guarded by more than ten people. Baizhen did not have the architectural drawings of the level, so it was impossible to build the level here, but Yunao still built a large number of fortifications after he arrived. When the Yucheng army arrived after hardships, it was faced with an iron lump. After the attack was weak and hundreds of people were killed and wounded, he had no choice but to retreat, preparing to send people to Aoshan City, and with kind words and the threat of retreating, he forced Aoshan City to open the road, make a detour to Aoshan City, and then unite to attack the main force of Baizhen.
And Aoshan City is not having a good time. Because of the fear of Baizhen's powerful combat power and the fear of losing too much, there were more than 20,000 people in the air and did not dare to face the battle, but they had to defend Gaojia Town, and there was an extra oil bottle. The manpower and materials are supported, and 5,000 people are not a lot, but those people have not been on the battlefield for many years, they are full of soldiers, they are pampered, and they are good at bullying the people, and their combat effectiveness is low, and even the recruits in Baizhen can't beat them. If it weren't for Liu Feng's need to train his troops, he was afraid that he would strengthen some attacks, and these people would not be able to last a day.
What is even more tragic is that since the beginning of the war, the connection between Aoshan City and Gaojia Town has been cut off by Baizhen, and it is no longer possible to get news, let alone support again. The spies sent by Aoshan City could only look at it from a distance, and could not find out any actual news. Gaojia Town's original 15,000 people to feed nearly 4,000 troops is already a heavy burden, and now with the addition of 5,000 city guards, all of them need Gaojia Town to provide logistics. Because of the soldiers who came to oppress the people, there were many complaints in Gaojia Town for a while. The mayor of Gaojia Town began to frown all day long, and the commander of Aoshan City was powerless to control those people.
Originally, because most of the other towns were out of control, Gaojia Town, the closest descendant to Aoshan City, paid more tribute to Aoshan City every year than other towns, and the mayor's ability was insufficient, and he had to use additional offerings every year to keep his position, Gaojia Town has not been rich, and now there is a sudden increase in so many people, although there is a support, but it is not enough to make ends meet, Gaojia Town's war reserves are gradually depleted, and they can no longer be replenished, and the wrinkles on the foreheads of the mayor of Gaojia Town and the commander of the city guard army are getting deeper and deeper day by day.
In seven days, the recruits in White Town had already rotated once, and they had lost only three or four hundred men. The effect of the training has begun to bear fruit, and Liu Feng decided to put some pressure on Aoshan City, so he slightly increased the intensity of the siege and let go of the control of Gaojia Town.
Sure enough, Gaojiazhen immediately seized the opportunity and sent people to rush out to ask for help from Aoshan City. And the clerk was anxious, saying that if there were no reinforcements, Gaojia Town would be lost.
As soon as they received Gaojiazhen's request for help, the generals of Aoshan City gathered at the city lord's mansion and waited for the city lord's arrangement. In Aoshan City, they only have such rights.
The city lord of Aoshan City is now in a dilemma, at the beginning, he insisted on defending Gaojia Town, and now if he gives up, he will also take the five thousand people in Aoshan City, which makes the young city lord very angry.
"What's going on in Jade City? I can't even take a small valley, and I have to make a detour to Aoshan City. It's been so long, and there hasn't been a shadow. Won't they storm and cross mountains and rivers? The roar of the young city lord echoed in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
You said it lightly, is the Yucheng Army so stupid to die for Aoshan City. Over the mountain, you said lightly, but I'm afraid that when they cross the mountain, there will be more attrition than a strong attack, and the supplies are estimated to be gone, so go to find death? Crossing the river, if you can really do this, you Dao Yucheng people are all fools? The water army of Jade City is not in the hands of the city lord at all! Besides, there is no direct waterway from Yucheng to Baizhen.
The city lord above is roaring, and there are people secretly slandering below.
"How long will it take for the people of Yucheng to arrive?" After venting, the young city lord asked.
"Three more days." The middle-aged scribe beside him replied.
"Why is it taking so long?" The young city lord frowned.
"The march is already slow, and besides, it's a detour......" The middle-aged scribe was interrupted by the city lord before he could finish speaking.
"Order Gaojia Town, hold on for another three days, and after three days, the army will attack the main force of Baizhen and relieve them of the siege." The young city lord said coldly.
The middle-aged scribe sighed that he hadn't finished his words yet. He originally wanted to say that the people of Yucheng still had the intention of deliberately delaying, and even if they came, they might not fully cooperate with the attack on Bai Zhen. And Bai Zhen's actions these days also made him feel uneasy.
But now, the city lord has put all his hopes on the Jade City Alliance, and no matter what he says, the city lord will not listen.
The order reached Gaojia Town, which slightly boosted morale, and Liu Feng also received the news that the Yucheng army was coming, and once again increased the intensity of the siege. He will not take Gaojia Town, but the army inside must be reduced to a manageable number. He didn't want to go back to fight when he turned around, and Gaojiazhen still had the ability to come out and take advantage of the fire.
As a result, Gaojiazhen fell into the quagmire of war. The rotation of attacks day and night not only trained the army of Baizhen, but also made the residents of Gaojia Town unable to live in peace.
I have to say that those army wastes in Gaojia Town, and when the attack on Baizhen came to an end three days later, Liu Feng counted that Baizhen only lost about 1,000 people before and after, and the defenders in the town could still defend the city There were less than 2,000. If this is changed to Aoshan Town or Snow Mountain Village, it would be good if half of the 7,000 new troops could be saved.
This can't be blamed on the waste of Gaojia Town, as the saying goes, if something is good, the next must follow. The city lord of Aoshan City does not pay attention to the army, and Gaojia Town is naturally happy to save money. Even these more than 3,000 troops have been newly recruited recently, and there were less than 2,000 people before, because they were the closest to Aoshan City, there was no war, and they were always deserted. In addition, the soldiers sent by Aoshan City are all ruffians, and it is very good that they have not collapsed until now.
Liu Feng is in a good mood now, the original goal has been basically completed, and it is time to implement the next goal.
These days, there are constantly materials being transported to Baizhen's camp not far from Gaojia Town, and the surrounding bandits have all been exterminated, and there is the response of Aoshan Town, and the army of Aoshan City does not dare to come out, and the delivery of materials is very safe.
Bai Zhen's training was not put down, although Bai Jian followed Liu Feng, he still left enough trainers to train those recruits. Yun Ao was not idle, with five hundred bandits and five hundred recruits and nearly a thousand people left behind in Yucheng to play Tai Chi in the valley, which had little effect, and it was better than nothing.
After the 9,000 people of Yucheng arrived at Aoshan City, they really found an excuse to delay time. Fortunately, they knew that they were in the territory of Aoshan City, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they only delayed for one day. So on the fourth day, Gaojiazhen received the news that the city's army was dispatched. But on this day, Gaojia Town lost hundreds of people.
Aoshan City made up its mind this time and dispatched 15,000 people, all of whom were veterans, of which 10,000 were soldiers stationed at the border, all of them were dispatched, and only 5,000 veterans and 5,000 recruits were left in the city, but everyone knew that those recruits were the scum of war.
The 9,000 men of Yucheng formed an independent army, and the two sides were not far apart, and 24,000 people advanced towards the camp in Baizhen. Gaojia Town is very close to Aoshan City, and it is all plains, so it can be reached quickly.
As soon as the coalition forces moved, Liu Feng received the news and immediately convened a pre-war meeting.
Bai Jian, Wang Ying, Qiu Ying, He Yun, the four owners of the Snow Mountain Village, as well as two first-order generals and some senior generals, it seems that they are also full of talents, but they lack a military advisor. He Yun had just broken through to the advanced level, and his ability was still a little weaker.
Originally, He Yun was dealing with noon in Baizhen, but for some reason he took the initiative to ask to participate in the war against Aoshan City, Liu Feng did not ask, but he also agreed to his request.
Qiu Ying and Wang Ying have reached the pinnacle of senior generals, caught up with Yunao, and once they have the opportunity, they can break through at any time. Being young means having unlimited potential, and Liu Feng is full of expectations for these two.
"How did the soldiers react, and did they feel fear in the face of tens of thousands of troops?" Although Liu Feng is the main general, the management of the army is basically carried out by Bai Jian, and the supreme command will be handed over to Bai Jian in wartime to obtain the attribute bonus effect of high-level generals.
"There are some worries, but they will never be afraid, and some people are even full of expectations and defeat Aoshan City, here is our strongest." Bai Jiandao, "I wonder how the mayor of the town will deal with these two coalition forces?" ”
"I already have a countermeasure," Liu Feng looked confident, "by surprise, first eliminate that army in Jade City." ”
"What?" For a while, none of the dozen people present reacted.
