Chapter 22 The Siege of Rock City

After Zhou Yu accepted the surrender army, the army outside the city entered Nanyang City, and Zhou Yu and Tang Xian looked at each other and smiled, because they knew that what they were going to do next was the family in the city. After taking down the list of the family, Tang Xian gathered five hundred cavalry.

"Jin Biaozi, come over to Ben General!Jin Biaozi, where the hell are you dead?" Tang Xian shouted at the five hundred cavalry behind him.

At this time, a dark-skinned soldier ran over and replied respectfully to Tang Xian: "General Shenwei, Vice General Jin, you have already ordered him to train soldiers!"

"Oh, I forgot, that's you, what's your name?" Tang Xian asked, his eyes lit up, looking at the soldier in front of him.

The soldier knelt down on one knee in flattery and replied: "General Qiqi Shenwei, the younger one is named Sandezi! Because I worship the general to the extreme, I change my name to Tang Sande! What is the general's send! Even if I go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, I, Tang Sande, will complete the task!"

"Sandezi, good! Very good! You are my second lieutenant general. Next, you take 500 cavalry, take this list, go to various families, collect for me their private soldiers and half of their family's property, kill all those who are not convinced, and then raid the house! You know! Remember to bring everything back to me word for word!" Tang Xian patted Sandezi on the shoulder and said solemnly.

"General Qiqi Shenwei, a general stipulates that there can only be one deputy general, if you let Vice General Jin know about this, Vice General Jin will kill me," Sandezi was embarrassed.

"Ah! I said that you are the second vice general, you are the second vice general, how can you not talk words, how can I be a person! You say yes, His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Tang Xian hesitated and turned his head to ask Zhou Yu.

"It should be so!" Zhou Yu nodded and smiled bitterly

"Thank you General Shenwei! Thank you to His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Sandezi hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and after speaking, Sandezi took five hundred cavalry to various families with high spirits.

"It's a talent! not bad!" Tang Xian looked at Sandezi who was going away with an appreciative face, and said with a very short beard.

Zhou Yu also ordered a few people to go down to deal with the family, and then issued an urgent order for the prince's pro-army, ordering the soldiers to post a notice out...!

Three days later, outside Yancheng in the north of Nanyang City, Li Nan's 300,000 troops were gathering one mile away from Yancheng, and the 100,000 former army was fighting a siege battle with the defenders of Yancheng, and the main general of the Chinese army was in the camp.

Li Nan asked in a deep voice: "Right now, our army has been attacking for more than two days, and nearly 30,000 soldiers have been injured, so you generals have a good plan!"

The adjutant general said: "The last general has the courage to ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince, where is the 200,000 army of Lin Gui, the lord of Nanyang City?

"This general! The general is also my Zhao Guoerlang, how can you be a little too ranked!"

"Having said that, the last general is also curious! Where did Lin Gui's soldiers go?" another general asked.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Third Prince hid them?"

"How dare you slander Your Highness!"

"Generals, don't be impatient! Don't be suspicious of each other, I have other arrangements for Lin Gui's 200,000 troops! It's not a secret thing! I also ask the Hou Ye to open the map!" Tang Xian said with an elegant face

Hearing this, Li Nan hurriedly opened the panorama map of Zhao Kingdom, Tang Xian walked in front of him and pointed to a place with the folding fan in his hand, Li Nan looked at the place and hurriedly said: "Caixi County! Mr. Fei means that Lin Gui's 200,000 troops have been sent to Caixi County!"

"From here to Caixi County, although the road is close, the road is not easy to walk! Among them, there are cliffs and broken bridges, wild beasts in the mountains and forests, if the enemy army is ambushed, it will not take much effort to eat these 200,000 troops!" the adjutant general pondered for a long time and said solemnly.

"Although this road is difficult, it is not impossible, I asked them to work in groups of 100 people, with ropes to take care of each other, and sent troops last night, presumably they are attacking the city now!" Tang Xian said

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "If you succeed in capturing Caixi County, it will be completely equivalent to encircling Yancheng from the rear..."

"That's right, when the time comes, as long as we besiege but not attack, as soon as the grain and grass are cut off, they will be defeated! Moreover, the reason why Caixi County sent 200,000 troops is because they can not only surround Yancheng, but also resist the reinforcements sent by the royal capital! They can even directly attack the royal capital in the future.

As far as I know, the grain and grass of the soldiers of Yancheng is only enough for one day, and we only need to rob the grain and grass, and this battle will be won! The premise is that we take Caixi County within two days, and it should not be difficult to fight 30,000 with 200,000!" Tang Xian said with a gentle smile.

"Report!!! The Lord of Lin City sent an urgent military report from Caixi County!" a soldier hurriedly ran in.

"Read!" Li Nan said with a solemn face.

The soldier opened the secret report and read it: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince! I am Lin Gui, our army has taken Caixi County a quarter of an hour ago, and Caixi County has been unguarded, and by the way, we have intercepted the grain and grass transported by the royal capital to Yancheng! Our army has been stationed here and arranged defenses! Special military report! Wait for His Highness to dispatch!"

"Okay! General Lin Gui did a good job! Immediately replied, adopted a strategy of besieging but not attacking Yancheng, and asked Lin Gui to pay attention mainly to the defense in the direction of the royal capital!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"I also ask the Hou Ye to withdraw the soldiers who are now besieging the city, so that the north and south directions have been surrounded! In three days at most, the grain and grass will be cut off, and if you are hungry for two days, the rock city will be broken!" Tang Xian touched his extremely short beard and said with a smile

"Mr. Tang is really resourceful! The last general admires it! Why is there a gentleman who worries about the failure of big things!" said the deputy general with his fists clenched.

"What a Tang Xian! Wise and brave! He is both a strategist and a soldier! He is also a hero!" Li Nan gave a thumbs up and praised

Tang Xian shook his head and said solemnly: "Life should be a masterpiece, and death is also a ghost! ”

"General Tang, my admiration for you is like a surging river...... Please take my knees!" said one of the generals

"Mr. Tang, what a talent, although I don't know what it means, but it sounds very powerful!" said General Yi

"That's! I can only blame my master for cultivating me, after all, people with such talent as me are extremely rare!" Tang Xian unconsciously shuddered when he thought of the endorsement during that time. : I'm done memorizing, and here is the teacher... And here's more

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement and asked suspiciously, "Oh, Brother Tang actually has a master?" Presumably, Master Ling must be an extremely powerful person. ”

"Oh, I don't know who the master is, can you introduce it, let Ben Hou see the powerful people!" Li Nan said.

"Yes, let's see," the generals chimed in

When Tang Xian heard this, he wanted to say very much, the helper is an old beggar, what are you praising me? Why don't you praise me? I shouldn't have mentioned it.
