Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Great Army Pressed the Territory and Besieged on All Sides

The Shadow Guard marched hastily, and reached the two cities by night.

The Shadow Guard brought the words to the county commanders of the two cities.

The county commander settled the shadow guard, and then gathered the senior brothers in the city to discuss this matter.

After some deliberation, he felt that he could not delay, so he began to mobilize all the capable warriors overnight, especially the soldiers who had served in these two cities before.

It was only in the middle of the night that the team was assembled, and they set off towards Fire Bull City with primitive weapons.

The city of Fire Bull also began to make dry food and recruit soldiers overnight.

At noon the next day, the armies of the other two cities arrived at the city of Fire Ox, and they were hungry and stationed outside the city of Fire Ox.

Ikezawa County ordered 13,000 soldiers, Tiemu County brought 12,000 soldiers, and Fire Bull City recruited 10,000 soldiers.

They only left a hundred defenders for their city, and all the others who could be sent were sent.

Li Chengzhou offered food, let everyone eat and drink enough, and then each person brought five days' rations, and then set off in a hurry, and quickly let these more than 30,000 people show up, so that they can be evacuated, and now it is more important to build.

Li Chengzhou handed over the command of the entire army to Fan Qingyan, allowing him to complete his plan exactly as he wanted in his heart.

The army set out from noon and did not arrive near Yanyang City until late at night.

"The Ikezawa Legion to the east of Yanyang City, the Fire Ox Legion to the west of Yanyang City, and the Ironwood Legion to the north of Yanyang City."

"I took the Imperial Forest Army, Jin Wuwei, the Sanzi Battalion, and the Fire Ox Battalion to camp in the south of Yanyang City. During this period, I will send the shadow guard to deliver the news, and you will act in time when you receive the news. ”

"If someone comes out of Yanyang City, just retreat in time and try not to come into direct contact with them."

"Roger!"

The leaders of the three cities rushed to their respective positions with their troops and set up camp.

They only brought five days' rations, and they must have volatilized the effect of these more than 30,000 people.

By dawn, the armies in all four directions were ready.

As soon as the defenders of the scorching sun woke up in the morning, they saw flags fluttering in the forest in the distance.

Enemy attack! Quickly report to the Commander, so he went straight to the place where the Commander was.

This commander happened to be the one Li Chengzhou had seen before.

The commander was also having a headache now, and the defenders from four directions had already reported the matter to him, and he didn't know how many troops were around and why.

Last time, since he returned to Yanyang City, he told Chief Yang about Tang's intention to form an alliance, and Chief Yang dismissed his idea.

"The enemy is fierce, let's just stick to this place."

Could it be that at this time Tang's army, they have already united the other two?

The Commander ascended to the top of the wall, went to the four sides of the wall, looked at the situation, and found that he seemed to be really surrounded.

So Xing hurried to find Chief Yang.

When Chief Yang heard this, he also went up to the city wall to take a look at the situation.

When Fan Qingyan saw the three poles of the sun, he guessed that the chieftains and commanders in Yanyang City should have gathered at the head of the city to observe the situation.

"Three of you, go and inform the other three legions, and let them advance forward with siege engines to the range of their bows and arrows."

The shadow guard got the order and immediately ran to the other three directions to give the order.

When the other three legions got the news, they all went out and advanced with siege equipment.

When the dense soldiers came out of the forest, the soldiers on the city walls were almost stupid, holding their bows and arrows tightly and aiming at the enemy troops outside the city.

But the enemy stopped when he reached the limit of the range.

On the city wall, Chief Yang was also very flustered, and there were almost 40,000 soldiers in the four directions opposite, so there was no way to fight at all, but fortunately they stopped.

Another Commander, Sha, walked over.

"Chief, someone outside the city has asked you to come over and negotiate."

Yang panicked and didn't dare to go alone. Xing squinted his eyes and looked over, and the leader outside the city seemed to be the Tang Emperor who had negotiated with him under the Fire Bull City before.

"Chief, that young man is the Tang Emperor I mentioned to you earlier, he wanted the alliance to be rejected by you, and they also gave you gold and jewelry, remember?"

Yang thought for a long time before he remembered, and reprimanded: "Why didn't you make it clear at that time? As a result, now we are in such a Jedi! ”

"Punish you for negotiating on my behalf!"

"Chief, what is the core of our negotiations?"

"There is no core, as long as the other party can withdraw from the army."

Xing sighed, Yang's words were not reliable.

Li Chengzhou waited outside for a long time, and finally waited for someone to come out inside, and looked at it, isn't this the commander under the Fire Bull City?

"You're the Burning Sun Chief?"

"No, no, no, my name is Xing, and I'm just a general who commands the army."

"Where's your chief?"

"He is ill and it is inconvenient for him to come out, so I will negotiate on his behalf."

"Okay, then I'll just say it, Tiemu and Ikezawa have been subordinated to us, you will only bring about your own destruction if you stick to this place, surrender as soon as possible, and I will make proper arrangements for each of you."

Star had a headache, surrender was not something he could decide.

"Your Majesty, can you have some more time? Let's go back and talk about it. ”

Li Chengzhou saw that there were people on the city wall looking at this side, even if the chief was not there, the chief's eyes and ears must be watching this side.

Li Chengzhou patted Xing's shoulder: "There is no problem at all, we will get your answer at noon." ”

"Star, if you can bring troops to surrender, I guarantee that your status will not change in any way."

Xing paused: "I have received His Majesty's wishes, and I will think about it when I go back." ”

"The other commander is too, if you are willing to bring troops to surrender, I am willing to offer you the same status."

Star arched his hand and left.

Back on the ramparts, Yang began to ask what they had said.

"There is only one condition for the withdrawal of troops, and that is surrender."

"You didn't fight for it? You definitely want us to surrender sooner! ”

"Chief, they also say, if you surrender with your troops, you will keep your position intact. I will not leave you, as long as you give the order, I will lead the army to attack. ”

Xing hurriedly behaved, telling his loyalty.

Yang was even more angry when he heard this: "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder the result of your negotiation is surrender, it turns out that you still want to go over and keep your position." ”

Xing really wanted to smack himself a few big mouths, and saying this would be like lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

The other Commander, Sha, didn't say a word, but his eyes sparkled.

Yang walked down the city wall: "It's still some time before noon, let's go down and discuss what we should do?" ”

Outside the city, Li Chengzhou looked at the departing star.

"Brother Qingyan, is this okay?"

"Yes, no problem. But I think there is still too little time for them to intensify and ferment the contradictions between them. ”

Fan Qingyan tilted his head sideways, had a plan, and whispered in Li Chengzhou's ear.

"Brother Chengzhou, you will be the first in a moment.... And then...."
