"The attack failed?" Yuan Huaihe didn't have much emotion, just sighed softly, and dozens of good sons disappeared, but it could be regarded as reserved for the cavalry of the first army.

"Shang Yunxi's Heshuo army is very cautious, as soon as the infantry army crosses the river, it will form a formation, and the magic equipment that crossed the river in the early stage and the Xuzhou naval army also quickly formed a defense system, and our preset ambush only played a role in interference, and did not achieve the expected purpose. Yuan Wennan, who came to report, said softly.

"The Xuzhou army can afford to be slow. Yuan Huaihe's eyes were a little more melancholy, yes, to respond to all changes with the same, with the strength of the push, there is no need to rush time, and there is no need to take a risk, this is the current practice of the Xuzhou army, and in the face of such an enemy, what should the Caizhou army do?

Yuan Wennan is not good to return to this question, the attack of the dragon bird tail is also a last resort, the cavalry who were originally going to raid did not dare to use it, and the Heshuo cavalry of the two armies are eyeing each other, just waiting for you to enter the palace, after thinking about it again, the head of the family still did not agree to the cavalry's raid.

But watching the enemy cross the Bianshui and press down with a tiger descending the mountain, if you don't make a little effort, you can't say it, so there will be such an attack with eggs hitting stones.

The result is not unexpected, and if the war can change the outcome by such means, I am afraid that it will not be called a war.

"The head of the house ......," Yuan Wennan asked tentatively.

"Let the cavalry retreat and keep the pressure on, but don't attack and pin down the Xuzhou army. Yuan Huaihe's gaze slowly became calm, "In the final analysis, the victory or defeat of the war must be proved by the gains and losses of Song Cheng, so let's confirm our respective abilities in Song City's attack and defense." ”

"Yes, Master. Yuan Wennan understood the intention of the head of the family, "The city defense system is still being strengthened and transformed, and now all the power that can be used has been used,......

"There is no need to keep anything, all the spell materials that should be used are used, the spell traps are laid out in a cascading and chain way as much as possible, once the Xuzhou army shoots, it must be continuous, and it will not give us much respite, they have the advantage of troops, they must use enough, the magic equipment is used as much as possible to use double laying, heavy on the city wall, heavy under the city wall, once the enemy's heavenly master breaks through, we can't contain it in time, then we have to use these appliances to block and suppress. ”

Yuan Huaihe, who had thrown away all illusions, became more and more calm and clear in his thinking, and made arrangements in an orderly manner, "If the materials are not enough, the gentry in the city must be sacrificed within a time limit, otherwise there will be no forgiveness for killing, and there will be no conditions to talk about." ”

"Yes. His heart sank slightly, Yuan Wennan knew what this meant, which meant that the head of the family was also a little optimistic about being able to hold Song City, otherwise he would not use this iron-blooded method to collect supplies.

"Gather together all their private soldiers, and their wives and children, and their children. Yuan Huaihe pondered for a moment before issuing this order: "As long as the Xuzhou army starts to attack the city, let them take the lead in going out of the city to attack, and those who survive a round can live, and those who do not obey the order will destroy their families!"

Yuan Wennan was chilled all over his body, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

"Wen Nan, this is war, and we can't afford to have any mercy. Yuan Huaihe seemed to know the fluctuations in his nephew's heart, and turned his head, "War, that is, you live and die, that is, you must mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to achieve the goal of destroying the other party, understand?"

"Have you contacted the Heshuo army?" Jiang Feng rode his horse smoothly on the way to Dangshan in Xiao County.

Nighthawk vetoed Jiang Feng's idea of taking a boat, in fact, Jiang Feng also felt that it was inappropriate to take a boat, since he was going to lead the army to conquer in person, so naturally take the land route and feel the breath first.

The tooth army of the four armies was also 10,000 people, all of them were foot troops, and they came on foot, which was indeed a little slower in time.

However, Jiang Feng didn't care, since he had already made up his mind to fight with Caozhou, there was no need to suffer any more gains and losses.

Even if the Shatuo people want to withdraw their troops from Nanyang and join forces with Caizhou to fight Xuzhou, Jiang Feng will also have to fight.

Of course, the Shatuo people have already begun to collide with the Nanyang army in Ruzhou, and it is said that they have not taken much advantage.

The Nanyang army did not occupy Fangcheng as the Caizhou army imagined, which could make the Nanyang army in Ruzhou panic and the formation was in chaos, although the morale was inevitably affected, but Liu Tong still succeeded in stabilizing the position.

And the Shatuo people have not yet entered the state, and when they launched the attack, they still seemed to be a little less cooperative, and the news from the details came back, and the Shatuo people also had some signs of disgrace as guessed.

Sending troops to fight in the middle of summer is indeed a challenge for the Saiwaihu people, who are accustomed to going out in autumn, especially because it is still an unfamiliar territory.

The epidemic became the biggest ally of the Nanyang Army, which brought a lot of trouble to the Shatuo people, which was also the main reason why the Shatuo people were weak in the early offensive.

But Jiang Feng didn't think that the Shatuo people would stop waiting until the autumn, the Caizhou army had captured Fangcheng as promised, such an opportunity was unseekly for the Shatuo people, no matter how big the pay, even if there were more difficulties, they would launch an attack on the Nanyang army in Ruzhou.

Another reason why the Nanyang army was able to calm down was that Xiangcheng and Lushan in the north and south of Luyang Pass were still in their hands, even if the Caizhou army attacked the Chengguan below, they could already return to Nanyang from the south of Luyang Pass as a last resort, so as not to be caught in the urn.

Once the war starts, there is no room for reversal, this is not something that can be decided by any side, just like since Jiang Feng sent troops to Caizhou, then this battle can only be fought until one side collapses.

Yu Mingzhen rode his horse and walked on the right side of Jiang Feng, "Huijun Wang, I have been contacted, Shang Yunxi sent a letter, Caizhou Longquewei launched a round of small-scale raids on the south bank of the Bianhe River, burned two carriages, and all of them were killed, and at present, the army has successfully crossed the Bianhe River and is advancing towards Songcheng, and no enemy cavalry has been found." ”

"Well, Yuan Huaihe is still reluctant to give up his cavalry. Jiang Feng pursed his lips, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get the tiger, and if you can't let the child trap the wolf, he will pay the price." ”

"The king of the county, his subordinates think that Yuan Huaihe is also helpless, the number of Caizhou cavalry in Songcheng is insufficient, and he also needs to make sure that when we attack Songcheng, we will keep cavalry to create pressure on us, so as to drag down some of our troops. Yu Ming really thought about it and said.

"Mingzhen, Gu knows, but do you think he has such an effect?" Jiang Feng said calmly: "Once the city is besieged, unless he arranges the cavalry outside, his cavalry will not play a role at all, if he puts the cavalry outside, the cavalry of the Heshuo Army and the Ziqing Army will not find a chance to play a role, and they will either be surrounded and annihilated, or they will only have to break away from the Songcheng region, and there will be no chance to play a role, in the final analysis, Yuan Huaihe is still reluctant." ”

Yu Mingzhen nodded, "Since that's the case, why don't Yuan Huaihe evacuate Song City just like that?"

"Retreat? At this point, where will he retreat, where will we fight, and how much impact will it have on morale if he retreats without a fight?" Jiang Feng smiled: "So his hope is pinned on our siege of Song City to be frustrated, so that he can have a chance." ”

"But we have an absolute superiority in strength, and he doesn't have any chance. Yu Mingzhen was puzzled and said: "If it drags on, they will only have the result of the destruction of the city and the destruction of people." ”

Jiang Feng shook his head, his eyes were deep, "Yuan Huaihe is not such a person who admits defeat so easily, he dares to stay and guard Song City in person, which shows that he has a certain idea, if I guess correctly, he is waiting for the Shatuo people, and even Wei Bojun." ”

Yu Mingzhen was shocked, "Shatuo people, Wei Bojun?!, the king of the county, are you saying that the Shatuo people are going to do something to us, and Wei Bojun may also join in?"

"There is any possibility, in fact, you should be able to see it, Shi Jingjiao's temptation in Caozhou, in fact, they are just testing to see who is the best to fight, we didn't give him any chance, so they retreated, Hu people are the same as bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. Jiang Feng chuckled, "Caizhoujun also performed unsatisfactory, so after comprehensively evaluating the efforts and benefits, they chose Nanyang, of course, it is not ruled out that Caizhou moved closer to the Shatuo people to prompt the Shatuo people to choose Nanyang." ”

"But now......" Yu Mingzhen still didn't believe it, "is Wei Bojun going to do it too?"

"Wei Bojun's current situation is very embarrassing, the Shatuo people have become the overlords of the Central Plains, they have always been attached to the Great Liang, but now the Shatuo people have not made any moves against them, well, they should still be trying to win them over, if they don't want to tear their faces with the Shatuo people, then they can only be attached, the Shatuo people want him to send troops at this time, does he dare to obey?" Jiang Feng looked very calm, "Of course, Luo Shaowei is not stupid, he also has to observe the situation, the same as Yuan Huaihe." ”

"What does the king of the county mean is that if Yuan Huaihe strikes us a blow in Songcheng and drags us down, so that the Shatuo people think that our Xuzhou army is nothing more than that, maybe the Shatuo people will let Wei Bo's army send troops south?"

"Not only is Wei Bo's army sending troops, but the army of Shi Jingjiao and An Chongrong is afraid that they will immediately break through to the east, and they will not give up such an opportunity. Jiang Feng said calmly: "At that time, it depends on whether Zhu Mao can bear it, of course, we will not give them this opportunity, so we will let Shatuo people destroy that mind within the scheduled time, and obediently go to Nanyang to fight him." ”

Yu Ming really understood why Jiang Feng wanted to recruit in person this time, and brought the tooth army of the four armies as a reserve in one go.

In his opinion, the 30,000 of the Heshuo army, the 35,000 of the Ziqing army, plus the absolute superiority of the magic equipment and the magic mage troops, how to fight Song Cheng will definitely be able to defeat it, and it is necessary to use the tooth army of the four armies there?

Now I know that Jiang Feng wants to show Shatuo and Luo Shaowei that the military of Xuzhou is mighty, so that they can think twice before making any decisions.
