After hearing Xiao Hongbo's order, Xiao Pengtian quickly came to Xiao Hongbo's tent.

At this time, Xiao Hongbo was already arranging how the barbarian generals would attack Yancheng.

After Xiao Pengtian entered the tent, he said, "Wang, are you looking for me?" ”

After seeing Xiao Pengtian, Xiao Hongbo's face instantly showed a smile, and then he said with a smile: "Pengtian, this king just seriously thought about what you said to this king before, and I think what you said is very reasonable. ”

"If we just rush directly into the Wanning River Valley, in case there are Great Xia soldiers in the rear, we will be trapped in the Wanning River Valley at that time."

"So this king has decided to give you a very important task, and in the evening, this king will lead the twenty-five major armies to directly attack Yancheng, and you will take 50,000 soldiers to guard the rear to prevent the Great Xia soldiers from sneaking up on us from behind."

Speaking of this, Xiao Hongbo smiled and patted Xiao Pengtian on the shoulder, "Pengtian, this task is very important, and the safety of our rear will be handed over to you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian showed a hint of a smiling expression on his face, and then he said: "Thank you for the king's trust, my subordinates must be optimistic about the rear." ”

Xiao Pengtian is not a fool, how could he not see what Xiao Hongbo's arrangement is for.

He already has a status second only to Xiao Hongbo in the tribe of the Heavenly Wolf King, and if he attacks Yancheng this time, he has made an outstanding contribution, that is, he will be a master of merit.

Where did Xiao Hongbo think that what he said was reasonable, and it was clearly an excuse to let him stay in the rear and not participate in this siege operation, so that he had no way to get credit.

Xiao Pengtian didn't say much, just stay in the rear, just stay in the rear, and it just so happened that he was also worried that the Great Xia soldiers would sneak attack from the rear.

Just then, a soldier entered the tent.

"My lord, the scouts sent out have returned."

Xiao Hongbo immediately said, "Let him in." ”

As soon as Xiao Hongbo's words fell, another soldier entered the tent, "King, we have found out the situation ahead, the gate of Yancheng is closed, and the soldiers of Yancheng have set up catapults on the city wall!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Hongbo said with a smile: "It seems that the North King is really waiting for this king in Yancheng!" ”

"Very good, this king has long heard that the king of the north likes beautiful women, and the mansion has raised I don't know how many beautiful women, and when the city is beaten, this king must enjoy it and experience the happiness of the king of the north!"

Yelu Nanyan is not here, so Xiao Hongbo exposes his true nature, he believes that no one dares to tell Yelu Nanyan what he said and what he did.

Meanwhile.

Yancheng, on the city tower.

Mu Changtian looked at the howitzer on the city wall, and said with some worry: "Lord Wang, just put the howitzer out like this, and it was seen by the barbarian scouts, will they notice anything?" ”

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said, "Howitzer? What howitzer? We are catapults. ”

The barbarian cavalry had never seen a howitzer, how could they know that this was a howitzer, if the barbarian cavalry knew that there was a howitzer, they would not dare to run to Yancheng now, so Lu Chen was not worried about the howitzer being seen by the barbarian scouts at all.

Until the howitzer is useless, the barbarians will most likely recognize the howitzer as a catapult.

In fact, if you look at it from a distance, the howitzer does have a somewhat similar shape to a catapult.

Of course, it's just a similarity.

Now everything is ready, just wait for the barbarian cavalry to get in.

For the next day, Lu Chen stayed on the city wall, keeping an eye on the movements of the barbarian army.

As the day passed, the sun in the sky gradually touched the horizon, and the sky was dominated by a large area of fiery red sunset, and people's skin was reflected in the reflected light of the sunset.

At this moment, a scout soldier rode quickly towards the city gate, and while the soldier rode his horse, he shouted loudly:

"The barbarian army has entered the Wanning River Valley!"

"The barbarian army has entered the Wanning River Valley!"

"The barbarian army has entered the Wanning River Valley!"

……

After hearing the words of the scout soldiers, the soldiers on the city wall began to act quickly and quickly entered the battle state before they could wait for Mu Changtian's order.

Soon the scout came to Lu Chen, "Lord Wang, the barbarian army has entered the Wanning River Valley, they are divided into two parts, there are about 250,000 troops in front, and the remaining 50,000 troops seem to be on guard in the rear. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned.

He didn't expect the barbarians to split into two parts and enter the Wanning River Valley.

If the barbarians left 50,000 to guard the rear, it would be difficult for their 50,000 black cavalry to complete the siege of the barbarian army later.

At this time, Lu Chen asked, "Did the tens of thousands of troops in the rear of the barbarians follow into the Wanning River Valley?" ”

The soldier then replied, "Come in, but they keep a certain distance from the barbarian army in front." ”

Hearing the soldier say this, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they all enter the Wanning River Valley.

He was afraid that the barbarian army of 300,000 would leave some soldiers outside the Wanning River Valley, so that if the black cavalry wanted to block the barbarians' retreat, they would have to fight with the barbarian cavalry who stayed outside the Wanning River Valley.

When the black cavalry has eliminated the cavalry outside the Wanning River Valley, I am afraid that the barbarian army in front of them has already withdrawn from the Wanning River Valley, and then they can only let the barbarian army leave.

At this time, Lu Chen said: "Prepare for battle!" Convey instructions to the artillery battalion to let the barbarian cavalry fire after they are about to arrive in Yancheng! ”

With Lu Chen's order, the defense of Yancheng was also the official start of the encirclement and suppression battle of the barbarian army.

Under the leadership of Xiao Hongbo, an army of 250,000 will soon come to the city of Yancheng.

Although the people on the wall of Yancheng had not yet seen the barbarian cavalry, they had already heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

They even had the illusion that the earth was trembling.

That's 300,000 barbarian cavalry.

The soldiers on the city walls were very nervous, and although they had howitzers, there was still a lot of pressure in the face of an army of 300,000.

With the Black Cavalry, there were only 90,000 soldiers in the North Army.

Ninety thousand against three hundred thousand, it is impossible without pressure.

After Lu Chen heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, he felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if the adrenaline in his body was secreting wildly, making the cells in his whole body active.

As the sound of horses' hooves grew louder and closer, the flags of the barbarian army gradually appeared in people's field of vision.

Lu Chen stood on the city tower and quickly glanced at the generals in front of the barbarian army.

[Name: Xiao Hongbo]

[Identity: Barbarian Wolf King]

[Strength: Grandmaster Realm]

[Loyalty: -100 (Hostile)]

……

[Name: Brute Iron]

[Identity: Barbarian Sirius King Tribal General]

[Strength: Grandmaster Realm]

[Loyalty: -100 (Hostile)]

……

[Name: Fresh Armor]

[Identity: General of the Barbarian Beixian King Tribe. 】

[Strength: Grandmaster Realm]

[Loyalty: -100 (Hostile)]

After reading the information of these three people, Lu Chen glanced at the information of the other generals.

In the end, among the more than 200,000 troops of the barbarian forwards, there were probably only three grandmasters, five half-step grandmasters, and more than a dozen nine-rank masters.

Now Lu Chen doesn't know if there are any grandmasters in the tens of thousands of troops behind.

If he didn't have a howitzer this time, with the strength of the barbarian army, Beijun would definitely not be able to hold it.

With such a lineup of barbarians, let alone the capture of Beijun, even if it is a war of extermination against some small countries, it is no problem.
