Chapter Thirty-Eight: Chen Yang's Child
Haobei City of Tianlin Mansion of the Guangyu Empire is the only city in Tianlin Mansion that is not controlled by Chen Yang, and at this time, all the remnants of the Guangyu Empire in Tianlin Mansion have gathered in Haobei City.
In the palace, the heads of various families, generals, and city lords who were also loyal to the empire discussed military affairs here.
"Lord Meng, I wonder when the imperial reinforcements will arrive?"
The question was made by the Zhang family, and his question was the question of everyone present.
The man who was called Master Meng was a man in the prime of life with a long beard, he was one of the five inspectors of the empire, he only came to Tianlin Mansion after Chen Yang's incident, in this case, as the highest status among all the people present, he naturally temporarily took over Haobei City.
"It will take at least a month."
One month! Everyone in the palace was shocked, and a month was afraid that it would be enough for Chen Yang to capture Haobei City.
What will they do then? Eaten alive?
Zhang Haoran asked again: "Why does it take so long?" It doesn't take that long for Guanglin Mansion to get here, right? ”
The Guanglin Mansion he said was next to Tianlin Mansion, and Haobei City was at the junction of the two prefectures, and Guanglin City, the capital of Guanglin Mansion, was a little closer to Haobei City than Tianlin City.
"There are also bandits in Guanglin Mansion, and there is no way to draw troops, if you want to solve the trouble in Tianlin Mansion, the empire can only draw troops from other places."
This...
The people in the yamen were panicked, and several family heads had secretly decided to run away, anyway, some of them also came to Haobei City from other places, and it would be okay to run again, not ashamed.
The visions on everyone's faces were all seen by Meng Zhennan, and he slapped the table suddenly, "Quiet, what do they all look like, a little Chen Yang scared you out?" ”
The noise stopped violently, and everyone was embarrassed, if they weren't frightened, how could they run?
Zhang Haoran opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Meng, if Chen Yang leads the army to attack Haobei City, what should we do?" ”
"Attack Haobei City? Where did he get the guts? A small half of the troops in the Tianlin Mansion are here, plus the private soldiers of your various families, it is more than enough to deal with him. ”
After a pause, Meng Zhennan continued, "After attacking for so many days, the rebels are probably at their limit, and they will definitely not raise troops again in the short term, otherwise they will bombard the camp with just one surprise army." ”
Hearing this, everyone in the yamen was relieved a lot, and they all returned to "Master Meng's high opinion." ”
But at this moment, a shout came from outside the ya.
"Report !!"
Subsequently, a herald rushed in, knelt down on one knee, and bowed his hand to Meng Zhennan, "Report to the inspection envoy, the traitor Chen Yang led the army to attack, and he has now reached five miles outside the city, and he is still advancing." ”
Yes?
Everyone was shocked, and there was a commotion in the palace.
Meng Zhennan slapped the table and interrupted everyone's words, "How many rebels are there?" ”
"My subordinates don't know, but looking at their military strength, I'm afraid there are no less than 100,000."
Lakh? In the land of a house, where did he get the 100,000 troops? Meng Haoran was quite puzzled, he was not from Tianlin Mansion, he didn't know that this was the result of the Chen family's operation for several generations, if it was operated for a few more generations, I am afraid that the Chen family would be able to take out the 200,000 troops.
"The city gates are closed, everyone is forbidden to enter and exit, the army is on the city wall and defended, all supplies are rationed, and priority is given to the supply of the army."
No entry? Isn't that even a run? Can the city hold it?
This is the real mental activity of the heads of each family.
Seeing that everyone didn't mean to speak, Zhang Haoran asked again, "Master Meng, can we hold it?" ”
"Ridiculous, so you can't hold it? There is a cloud in the art of war, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and now there are 50,000 troops in the city, how can it not be defended? ”
"However, the rebel army is in full swing, if Chen Yang leads a team of elite soldiers to attack the city, open the city gate, and let the rebels rush into the city, I'm afraid it will not be good."
"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, then Chen Yang is just a sixth-grade martial artist, and this official is a seventh-grade grandmaster, how could he be attacked into the city? If he dares to come, the official won't mind slaughtering this child. ”
Everyone gave up their hands one after another, "Lord Meng is reasonable, then we will rely on Lord Meng." ”
Meng Zhennan snorted lightly, brushed his sleeves and left.
Half an hour later, Chen Yang arrived with 120,000 troops, the army was concentrated in the east gate, and the other three gates only had a small number of troops, and he didn't want to annihilate the imperial army in the northern city, after all, there were still 50,000 troops in the city, plus the private soldiers of each family, and the concentration was enough to knock him out.
But if they were given a way to live, first let them scatter and flee, and then divide and annihilate them, there would not be so much loss.
After the garrison rang for a while, Chen Yang received news from the scouts that the four gates of Haobei City were all closed, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
Want to hold on? The beauty of thinking.
"Order, siege the city, the main attack on the east gate, and the feint attack on the north and south gates."
"Honorable Order." The generals clenched their fists and came out of the big tent.
At the east gate of Haobei City, Meng Zhennan took a group of imperial officials and heads of families to the city wall.
In just this moment, Chen Yang's subordinates have killed and injured hundreds of people, and none of them have been able to climb the city wall.
50,000 people defend the city, 120,000 siege the city, how can it be so easy?
Meng Zhennan stroked his beard and laughed, and did not forget to mock everyone, "Who said that you couldn't hold it just now?" Look at it with wide eyes. ”
Everyone laughed, and Zhang Haoran was a little embarrassed, "Don't mention this matter, Lord Meng, I am not a person in the army, and my vision must not be compared with Lord Meng." ”
Meng Zhennan sneered: "Only now do you know? Isn't it late? In the future, if there is anyone who disturbs the heart of our army, he will be decided. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the big tent outside the city, "Chen Yang, a traitor, doesn't know anything about marching and fighting at all, just send it like this, at most three days, I can counterattack, and I don't have to wait for the imperial reinforcements at all." ”
Everyone said yes.
Meng Zhennan still felt that it was not enough, urged the internal force, and yelled at the city, "Chen Yang Xiao'er, do you only dare to let these little soldiers come up and send them to death?" ”
No one answered.
He then shouted, "Chen Yang, do you dare to go to the city to fight me?" ”
I yelled three times in a row, but I didn't get a response.
The head of the Li family stepped forward and said, "Master Meng, Chen Yang is frightened by you and doesn't dare to fight, if you roar a few more times, I'm afraid he will withdraw and flee." ”
"Hahaha!"
The crowd laughed.
When everyone was laughing, Chen Yang gathered a team of martial artists, as well as several clan elders in the family, to form a team of elite soldiers, and they were ready to enter the city.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Meng Zhennan's provocation, his plan in advance is to enter the city, grab the city gate, and let his subordinate troops enter the city.
He was confident that as long as the army entered Haobei City, these fleeing routs in the city would abandon the city again, after all, they had already escaped once, which was what they were good at.
"Are the 20,000 troops outside the south gate ready?"
"Ready."
"Okay." Chen Yang turned his head to look at this group of elite soldiers, "Come with me to climb the city wall, grab the city gate, and let the army enter the city." ”
"Honorable Order!"
Their movements did not escape the eyes of Meng Zhennan, the grandmaster, after they arrived outside the south gate, Meng Zhennan also moved to the south gate with his people, he wanted to see what this traitor leader who didn't understand strategy wanted to do.
What puzzled him was that Chen Yang and his gang actually landed in the city?
This is? To send them to death?
He arranged for his subordinates to confront others, while he himself rushed towards Chen Yang, shouting, "Chen Yang'er, come to die." ”
