Chapter 173: Linyi City

Li Yunyi and the others have arrived in the central part of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and they don't know how many towns they have looted along the way, and the army behind them has been a few days away from them, and they can't catch up if they want to.

There is also a reason why he can't catch up, Li Yunyi let the army behind destroy some official bridges. When Zhang Fengming's army caught up, they had to repair the official road and look for boats to cross the river, and the speed was naturally not fast.

During this time, Li Yunyi and the others also encountered trouble, and the Eastern Qi side began to clear the wilderness. Many of the small towns and towns they were heading in were gone, and those people had gone to some big cities.

And there are more or less armies in the big city, and it takes time to take the big city. The meaning of Dongqi's side was obvious, to delay Li Yunyi's speed as much as possible, so that the army behind them could catch up.

Many big cities have mobilized many grandmasters, and the number of grandmasters in the big cities they pass by will reach twenty or thirty, and Li Yunyi's side will pay a huge price for attacking the city. So Li Yunyi did not attack the city and continued to move forward. If you don't attack the city, there will be no one in the nearby small cities and towns, and there will be people in the villages, how much food can you get?

So Li Yunyi, they are now short of food!

I have to say that Zhao Rui, the emperor of Eastern Qi, is really a hero, and his giving such an order will make his reputation stinky and make the people of Eastern Qi think that he does not care for his people and cares about people's lives. Many people will be displaced and become refugees, and many children and elderly people will die in the middle of the road...

But the strong wall is really useful, Li Yunyi's 300,000 army has no grain and grass, and once the grain and grass run out like this, he will have to wait for death.

In an empty small city, all the troops were stationed in it, and a group of generals and Feng Wuchen gathered in the attic where Li Yunyi and Xiong Jun lived to discuss the next road.

All the generals expressed their worries, and the whole army had only seven or eight days of food and grass. If we do not have access to a large supply of food and grass, there will be a crisis. Ding Yu also reported that the blood wolf's rations were not much, only enough for five or six days.

Although everyone was asking Xiong Jun, their eyes were staring directly at Li Yunyi. Li Yunyi is the secret commander of this army, and this matter is almost clear, but he doesn't say it explicitly. Li Yunyi lowered his head and held a cup and blew tea, he is not a god, and he can't conjure grain and grass out of thin air.

He took a sip of tea, put the cup down, looked at the map, looked at it for a moment, and said, "What do you see me doing? ”

"Grab ......"

Everyone frowned, passing through two big cities in the past few days, there were tens of thousands of troops in the city, and the most important thing was that there were twenty or thirty grandmasters. Tens of thousands of troops are not a problem, those grandmasters are too lethal, they can't fight them at all if they don't send grandmasters, and there are likely to be a lot of casualties if they send grandmasters to that side, so Li Yunyi ordered to evacuate several times.

Dongqi has a strong intelligence system support, and their whereabouts can be monitored by Dongqi. Dongqi mobilized a few flying beasts and gave them to those grandmasters to ride, and if they were close to any big city, those grandmasters would come early to defend the city.

"Just grab the city!"

Li Yunyi stood up and pointed to a city on the map and said: "This city is a fairly famous city in the middle of Eastern Qi, and this area is a grain-producing area, so there must be a lot of grain in the city." We will take down this city, and we will not worry about supplying it. ”

Everyone looked at the map, and many of them frowned. Li Yunyi pointed to Linyi City, which is not a small city, according to common sense, the troops of the small cities near it are gathered here, and the troops in this city are at least 50,000. As soon as they get closer, those grandmasters will definitely come over, and if they can fight down, they are afraid of a lot of losses.

"Okay, don't be sad!"

Li Yunyi waved his hand and said: "Let's go back and rest, we can reach the vicinity of Linyi tomorrow night, we will go to the Vulture Mountain Range in the north of Linyi City to spend the night, and attack the city the day after tomorrow." ”

Li Yunyi didn't explain too much, everyone paused and didn't ask more, and got up and retreated. Xiong Jun stayed, he wanted to ask a few more words, but when he saw Li Yunyi bowing his head and drinking tea, he honestly retreated.

The next day, the army ran for a day, and at nightfall they arrived at the Vulture Mountains north of Linyi City, which was densely forested, shrouded in clouds and mist, and full of wild beasts. After arriving, Li Yunyi asked Ding Yu to control the blood wolf cavalry to run inside, freely looking for prey to eat.

Li Yunyi also asked Gonggong Fu to dispatch and take away more than a dozen sharp-tailed swifts to clean up all the scouts in this mountain range. The blood wolf cavalry turned around in the middle of the night, and all the blood wolves came back with a full meal, and Fu Gonggong also returned, and killed more than 30 spies in ambush.

The next day, Li Yunyi sent an army of 100,000 down the mountain to attack the city, and most of the grandmasters went. However, Feng Wuchen rushed forward with a group of grandmasters, and nearly thirty grandmasters really appeared in the city. Before leaving, Li Yunyi said that if there are many grandmasters here, then evacuate.

Feng Wuchen exchanged a few moves with the two grandmasters, and withdrew with all the grandmasters, and the army also withdrew to the Vulture Mountains.

To the surprise of Zhuge Jian Lu Guanhou and them, after Li Yunyi and the other army came back, he actually let the whole army continue to go east. Yesterday he also said that he was going to attack Linyi City, but now he has turned around and left? If he doesn't attack Linyi City, where can he get grain and grass?

Li Yunyi did not explain and led the army forward. But as they walked, Zhuge Jian and the others found that something was wrong, because the Huya Army was gone, and Jiang Xiaocian and Gonggong Fu were also gone.

Only Xiong Jun has a big bald head, and he is very swaggering in the team, and the red peony is unusually charming. The blood wolf cavalry was there, some wandering around, some of them clearing the way in front.

Suddenly, there were more than 10,000 troops missing, and there were two great grandmasters, which must have been arranged by Li Yunyi.

The question is......

The dark soul of the Eastern Qi Intelligence Organization is not an idiot, can the more than 10,000 troops still hide in the Vulture Mountain Range? This is not a few hundred troops, just drill in the cave, and more than 10,000 troops can't hide it.

The grandmasters of Linyi City must get certain information and make sure that all the troops are gone before leaving. The nearby Condor Mountains are the focus of the Dark Soul Scouts, and even killing all the scouts who enter will reveal flaws and attract more scouts to enter.

Once exposed, there are only two grandmasters over there, and there are more than 10,000 troops, maybe they will be surrounded and suppressed by the Eastern Qi army, especially the two grandmasters may be surrounded and killed by more than 20 grandmasters. Jiang Xiaocicada has been praised by Feng Wuchen for his promising future, and it would be a pity to die in the Condor Mountains, right?

Everyone couldn't figure it out, they wanted to ask Li Yunyi, but unfortunately Li Yunyi kept keeping his head down and hurrying away, ignoring their gaze from afar. So they walked boringly for a day, and found a town to spend the night.

At night, Li Yunyi secretly invited Feng Wuchen, the two discussed, and in the middle of the night, the five grandmasters of the Southern Sword Sect quietly left and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, the army continued on its way. It didn't take long for Zhuge Jian and them to discover that something was wrong, and there were five Grandmasters missing. The Grandmaster was the strongest force in the army, so they naturally paid special attention. This time, Zhuge Jian couldn't help it, and Zhuge Jian leaned over on a war horse and asked Li Yunyi about the situation.

"You'll find out in two or three hours!"

Li Yunyi didn't explain much, only said one sentence, and Zhuge Jian could only leave with a depressed face. Everyone was guessing Li Yunyi's arrangement, but they couldn't guess it, and it felt like a year for a few hours.

More than two hours later, several sharp-tailed swifts flew over and circled a few times above Li Yunyi's head.

"The whole army obeys the order! Turn around, thinking that you will rush to Linyi City as quickly as possible!"

Li Yunyi arranged for someone to summon the interrogation, and the army immediately turned around when the military order was issued. Zhuge Jian and the others leaned over urgently, and Li Yunyi explained: "Linyi City has been defeated, we must go back as soon as possible, otherwise the Eastern Qi Sect Master may turn around and return after receiving the news." ”

"Knocked down?"

A group of people were dumbfounded, more than 10,000 troops were hiding in the Vulture Mountain Range, and the spies of Eastern Qi didn't even find out? Is Dongqi's secret agent blind, or is Li Yunyi having some magical powers to hide from the world.

Everyone was a little incredulous, and the army ran as fast as possible, and did not stop until dark, until midnight, and finally returned to Linyi City. Sure enough, the people standing on the city wall were all shaking the mountain camp, and before they got close to Jiang Xiaocian and Fu Gonggong, they came, protecting Li Yunyi and telling them about the situation.

"Into town!"

Li Yunyi waved his hand, and the army entered the city in a mighty way, and the people in the city were driven out before, and corpses could be seen everywhere in the city, and there was blood in the ditches on the streets, which showed the tragic situation of the battle.

After the army entered the city, Li Yunyi asked Zhuge Jian to arrange someone to take over the city and let the Shaoshan camp rest. The granaries and military warehouses in the city were all taken over and organized, but a group of main generals all entered the city lord's mansion.

Li Yunyi inquired about the battle situation, and after learning that only hundreds of people had died in the Shaking Mountain Battalion, he nodded slightly to express his satisfaction. Knowing that Jiang Xiaocian had killed a grandmaster left behind in the city, he praised Jiang Xiaocian for a rare time, which made Xiaodaogu flattered and nervous.

A moment later, the granary was counted. The grain and grass here are abundant, which can feed the 300,000 army for two months, and after Li Yunyi got the report, he waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to rest, and continue to rush tomorrow morning.

After Zhuge Jian and the others went down, they did not go to rest, but went to inquire for information through various channels. If they don't figure out how the Shaking Mountain Camp is hiding, they won't be able to sleep at night. They tried to investigate, but they got some information that was of little use.

The entire army of the Shake Mountain Battalion was hidden in the Vulture Mountains, in a valley more than ten miles north of their camp. The whole army stayed in the valley, and it was foggy during the day, and the valley was full of white fog, and the sergeants of the Shaking Mountain Battalion did not notice any scouts entering the valley.

Waiting for this morning, Gonggong Fu said that the Grandmaster of Dongqi in the city had left, and their whole army dispatched Gonggong Fu, Jiang Xiaocian and several grandmasters who came in the middle of the night to join forces to kill the grandmaster who stayed in the city and opened the city gate.

The rest of the matter was simple, the Shaking Mountain Battalion rushed in, more than 10,000 to 50,000, and under the leadership of the seven great masters, they easily defeated the defenders in the city.

Things are so simple, so simple that Zhuge Jian and them feel like a fantasy.

After listening to this, they had only one thought: Are the spies in Dongqi all idiots? More than 10,000 people are hiding in the valley, and they can't find out?
