……

After being silent for a while, Liu Zhibang said: "From tomorrow onwards, the first division of Shanmeng and the second division of Hongfeng will go to the rear camp to rest and recuperate, Hu Chun, Fei Mao'er, and Ruan Xiangju will be the forwards, and the Zhou Shanbu will be deployed on both flanks, and the Longjie department and the Guards Regiment will be the central army, and they will launch a counter......offensive against the Duyan army."

After the detailed deployment, the generals went back to their respective military tents to rest, Ah Meng walked out of the Chinese army tent, breathed a long sigh of relief, and unexpectedly found Ruan Xiangju wandering alone outside the Chinese army's tent, Ah Meng hesitated for a while and walked up.

"Master Ruan!"

Hearing Ah Meng's voice, Ruan Xiangju was startled, raised her head and smiled at Ah Meng: "Commander Shanmeng, it's you......"

Ruan Xiangju is much taller than the average woman, one meter eight, and it is even more rare that her legs are straight and slender, with a bee waist and chest, and a first-class figure, although she does not apply fat powder, but her facial features are delicate, and she is dressed in a well-fitting military uniform, with a sassy and heroic posture, Ah Meng saw Ruan Xiangju smiling at him, like a breeze blowing through Qiu Ju, and a wisp of fragrance came with the wind, and she couldn't help but be a little stupid.

"It's so pretty......"

Ruan Xiangju looked at the two-meter giant man in front of her in a daze, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Commander Shanmeng, Commander Shanmeng, are you sick?" ”

Ah Meng hurriedly replied, "No...... Nope, oh...... Well, what are you doing here, and what else do you have to do with the commander? ”

When Ruan Xiangju heard this, her expression was a little flustered: "Eh...... I...... I just want to know what the tactics of Du Yan's army are this time, and I'm afraid of disturbing the commander......"

Ah Meng said confidently when he heard this: "So this is the matter, you don't have to find the commander for this matter......

"Who are you looking for if you don't look for the commander?"

Ah Meng patted his chest and said: "Look for me, I've been fighting with Du Yan for half a month, and I am most familiar with his tactics, come on, come to my tent, I'll tell you carefully......"

Ruan Xiangju was a little surprised by Ah Meng's enthusiasm, but it was difficult for her to say what she really thought in her heart, Ah Meng saw Ruan Xiangju hesitating, laughed, and pulled Ruan Xiangju and left.

"Speaking of fighting with this Du Yan, ......"

Ruan Xiangju looked back at Liu Zhibang's Chinese army tent as she walked, but behind the empty door, she couldn't see half of Liu Zhibang's figure.

……

"Report, Commander, Du Yan's army has not attacked since last night until this time!"

After listening to the report of the herald, Liu Zhibang said: "Got it, order the fifth, sixth, and seventh divisions to attack the second line of defense!" ”

The brass horn of the attack sounded, and the reorganized Hu Chun, Fei Mao'er, and Ruan Xiangju all changed into new military uniforms, equipped with the best weapons, and rushed towards the second line of defense amid the roar of the mountains and tsunamis.

The defenders deployed by Du Yan on the second line of defense only symbolically resisted for half an hour before retreating, leaving behind more than 2,000 corpses, while the fifth, sixth, and seventh divisions of the three brothers and sisters of the "Liuhua Gang" lost no more than 300 men, which can be described as a great victory.

"Report, commander, the striker has occupied the second line of defense, and Du Yan has retreated to the first line of defense!"

Liu Zhibang just nodded after listening to the report: "Got it!" ”

Hong Feng walked up to Liu Zhibang and said, "Commander, Du Yan has only resisted for less than half an hour today, this is not normal!" ”

Liu Zhibang nodded and said: "It's a bit abnormal, but he is right to do this, if it is me, I will not resist at all, and I will retreat when I see the attack of the Han army, so that there will be no casualties......"

Shan Meng said on the side: "Yes, it is more beneficial for him for Du Yan to retreat to the first line of defense today, this Baiyangdu is a canyon, the further north the gorge mouth is, the first line of defense is longer, there are many others, you can deploy more troops there, but in this way, our attack will be more difficult, the first line of defense we have the longest construction time, and the defense is the most solid, it is not easy to fight......"

Liu Zhibang and the generals crossed the second line of defense, walked a few hundred meters forward, and saw the first line of defense full of flags from a distance, where there was an earthen wall, nearly five meters high, the length of the earthen wall was more than two kilometers, and a ten-meter-wide deep ditch was dug at the foot of the original wall, and if you want to attack the earthen wall, you must cross this deep ditch.

Liu Zhibang looked at the battlefield situation and said: "Order, use a catapult to throw sandbags into that deep ditch, and fill in at least three roads that can be passed by people!" ”

"Yes!"

Call......

Call......

Dozens of catapults were erected hundreds of meters away from the earthen wall, countless sandbags with whistling sounds, across the sky, far down in the deep ditch under the earthen wall, Du Yan defenders saw that the Han army was going to fill the ditch, but was frightened by the dense soldiers behind the catapults, and did not dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

The herald ran to report: "Report, commander, the deep ditch has been filled with three avenues!" ”

Liu Zhibang nodded and replied: "The catapult continues to throw sandbags, filling in three slopes to the top of the earthen wall, at least so that people can climb up!" ”

"Yes!"

In less than half an hour, the three slopes were piled up with sandbags, watching the sandbags become an avenue one by one, the defenders of Duyan had nothing to do, no matter whether they used fire or water, they could not prevent the sandbags from turning into earthen bridges.

"General, the Han bandits have filled in three dirt slopes in the first line of defense, and we have no danger to defend......"

An officer of the Du Yan Department anxiously shouted to the general who was sitting firmly in the big tent.

The general was in his early forties, not very tall, and looked a little thin among the generals, but his face as hard as iron made people shudder.

Du Yan looked at the general expressionlessly, and said in a hoarse voice: "No matter how bad the first line of defense is, there is also an earthen wall, we have many people and few others, do you still need to panic with such an advantage?" Wait for him to attack and see who can beat whom! ”

After Du Yan finished speaking, he turned his head to the other general and asked, "How many reinforcements are coming from Wumang City?" ”

Another general said in a low voice: "General Hui, Dao Yan sent another 10,000 people last night, and our total strength has exceeded 120,000 at present...... It's just that Dao Yan is crying poor again, saying that there is no money and no food, and it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit soldiers, and those farmers who have been recruited have not returned, and I am afraid that they will never be able to recruit soldiers again......"

Du Yan heard it and shouted: "Bastard, he has been favored by the emperor for a long time, he has been an official in this Wumang City for many years, I don't know how much money he has made, and this Wumang City has suffered the least in our Qingyun Empire, he has many excuses, it is that he wants to rebel and can't succeed!" ”

The general replied with a bitter face: "General, what Dao Yan said is not false, he had a battle with Liu Zhibang a few months ago, and he was defeated and lost, in order to redeem the captured soldiers, he gave Liu Zhibang a lot of money and food, I'm afraid he really can't help it......"

"Don't talk about him, we haven't paid our military salary last year......"

A general muttered quietly, Du Yan's eyes rolled, and the cold light swept over the general, and the general was so frightened that he quickly shut up.
