Chapter 157: Elite Soldiers

Outside the Eastern Capital, Guo Pengyun was asking Guo Leiting, how was the huge Eastern Capital City, with tall and strong walls and perfect defensive equipment, broken by King Youwang in just three hours?

Mentioning this, Guo Leiting was also very depressed: "King Youwang arranged for people to enter the Eastern Capital early in the morning, and as soon as his brigade appeared outside the city, riots began in the city, and it was estimated that there were thousands of people.

I sent someone to suppress it, but out of nowhere, a martial arts master disguised as a soldier came up and caught me. ”

Guo Pengyun was silent for a long time after hearing this, Guo Leiting lost this battle unjustly, and King Youwang had already made arrangements for raising troops, and he was very well prepared.

It's ridiculous that the court doesn't know about the situation of King You, although they guessed his strategic intentions correctly, but they didn't guard against his application tactics.

Guo Pengyun called the military Chinese book: "Inform Your Majesty of the situation here, the Anxi military town is likely to have fallen, and the king of You, together with the Turks, will capture the eastern capital, and quickly send soldiers and horses to support." ”

"Inform Fang Yun again that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou have united with the Turks, let him be more careful, and he can retreat when the situation is not good."

The two documents were quickly written, and Guo Pengyun confirmed that they were correct after reading them, and asked people to send them to Jingshi and Dingzhou quickly.

Then Guo Pengyun summoned his subordinates to discuss the siege strategy, Guo Pengyun has been in charge of the Eastern Capital for many years, and he knows best how difficult it is to capture the Eastern Capital.

If you want to capture such a large city, there are generally two ways, one is to besiege the city with a large army, and the other is to cooperate with the outside world.

The former is the easiest, spelling a consumption, but it often takes years to win.

The latter is the method used by Youwang, but he uses his own people, Guo Pengyun has been running the Eastern Capital for many years, and the relationship has long spread all over the city, and it is easier for him to cooperate with each other.

"I need some people to infiltrate the Eastern Capital, find Pang Ying and them, let them give us detailed information, and cooperate with us in attacking the city."

Everyone had no opinion, and each went down to prepare siege equipment and set up tents.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses sent by Guo Pengyun to support Dingzhou also arrived near Dingzhou, and the person who led the team was called Fang Yun, who fought bravely and was deeply valued by Guo Pengyun, so he was relieved to let him lead an army to support Dingzhou.

Fang Yun came to the outside of Dingzhou City, looked at the small city in front of him, and was a little suspicious in his heart, didn't he say that King Youwang sent troops to besiege Dingzhou? Why is there no movement outside? Where did the besiegers go?

Fang Yunzheng was puzzled, and a big flag was suddenly erected on the city wall, and the big flag was fluttering, and a big character was fluttering, Zhang.

A large number of horses and horses appeared on the low city wall, as well as a few crossbow carts, aimed at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun's adjutant general stepped forward and said, "General Fang, the other party is prepared, do we have to rectify it first and then make plans?" ”

Fang Yun looked at the crossbow cart on the opposite city wall, also frowned slightly, and agreed with the adjutant general's opinion.

Zhang Shoulin was a little disappointed when he saw Fang Yun starting to set up camp: "I thought they would attack immediately, did we scare them?" ”

Lu Chengping glanced at the ballista on the side, and secretly wiped his sweat in his heart, because of this kind of ballista, Zhang Shoulin still has ten of them, God knows how Youzhou, which is short of resources, has this kind of ballista.

"General Zhang, Dingzhou is the beginning of the Yongji Canal, and if you guard here, you will master half of the Yongji Canal."

Zhang Shoulin nodded, didn't say anything, and then looked at Chen Da and said, "Send someone to check how many people there are." ”

Li Feng knew the importance of intelligence, so he used the martial arts conference to recruit a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, and he compiled these people together and named them the Tiandihui, with the task of spying on intelligence.

The nominal boss of this organization is Gonggong Wei, one of the four great grandmasters, and the actual person in charge is Sun Er, as for the following halls, there are currently only two, namely the Hebei Hall responsible for searching for information on Hebei Province, and the Henan Hall searching for information on Henan Province.

The current hall master of Hebei Hall is concurrently served by Chen Da, and he arranged for someone to go out to find out Fang Yun's information.

Zhang Shoulin and the others were waiting on the city wall, and seeing that Fang Yun had not moved for a long time, several people were a little relaxed and chatted gossip.

Seeing the speculation they were chatting about, Lu Chengping also interjected and asked, "I heard that the prince has made a stall in Youzhou, can you tell me in detail?" ”

Zhang Shoulin and the three of them looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, the highest level of education of these three people was Chen Da, but they didn't know all the common words, and they had no way to understand what it was.

Lu Chengping was a little disappointed: "After the prince promoted this policy, I sent someone to ask, but the person who asked in the past said vaguely, Youzhou is prosperous, beyond Dingzhou, as a parent official in Dingzhou, I also want Dingzhou to develop." ”

Du Biao said: "When the prince unifies the world, he will tell you." ”

Lu Chengping was about to ask, but the spies who went out to investigate came back, but they didn't bring good news: "General, their camp is extremely tightly arranged, and the outpost is arranged a hundred meters away, and I was discovered as soon as I got close." ”

Zhang Shoulin perked up: "There is a hard stubble, let the sons go down to explore the wind." ”

Chen Da ordered a thousand cavalry, which was the elite cultivated by Li Feng, the elite who had received the cavalry and archery training of Na Falcon and others, and the horses they rode were all the first-class horses that Li Feng had come from Yulin Weikeng.

One-third of the money Li Feng earned was smashed on this cavalry team, which can be said to be Li Feng's family background.

Chen Da led the team and roared out.

Fang Yun saw that the Youzhou soldiers dared to take the initiative to attack, and immediately asked the soldiers to prepare.

When the cavalry team came out of Dingzhou City, Fang Yun's jaw of surprise was about to drop, and a voice of envy, jealousy and hatred squeezed out from between his teeth: "This is the Youzhou cavalry?" This horse is even better than my in the Eastern Capital. ”

The adjutant general was also shocked, didn't he say that this was a feint attack on the troops? Youzhou feints with this kind of troops? So what does the main attack look like?

"Shoot thistles, the pikes come forward, the archers prepare."

Although he was shocked by the Youzhou cavalry, Fang Yun still dealt with it calmly, and this set of tactics to deal with cavalry assaults was very effective, and it was something that the entire Eastern Capital had to learn.

But this time they were wrong, because Chen Da didn't plan to charge at all, they learned the Turkic skills of riding and archery, turning the carriage when they approached Fang Yun's formation, pulling the bow and shooting arrows, and leaving after shooting.

Countless arrows formed a dense network of arrows and shot towards Fang Yun, Fang Yun was shocked, and immediately adjusted the password: "The spear team is blocked, and the archers are hidden." ”

The pikemen raised their spears high in the air, fluctuating rhythmically, and the range of the spear head shaking formed a small defensive circle similar to a shield, and a whole pikemen formed a large defensive circle, removing most of the arrows.

Only a few unlucky eggs were hit by the arrows, but when a volley came down, the casualties caused by the opposing transport army were not large.

Chen Da smiled: "Interesting, it's an opponent." ”

In this hundred years, Fang Yun let people pull the wounded down for treatment, he looked at Chen Da in the distance, and suddenly woke up, this is the tactic of the Turks, how did the Youzhou army learn it?

"It's not good, the Youzhou army may have contact with the Turks, quickly report this news to Duhu."
