Chapter 533 The soldiers are fast and besieged from all sides
When Ling Feng finished talking about the strategy, everyone's eyes showed disapproval. The walls of Blackwater City are extremely high, the defense is extremely strong, and the city is still defended by 100,000 soldiers, where can it be easily attacked in three days.
Governor Zhou Yanyu was also quite disappointed with Ling Feng's strategy, if he wanted to forcibly capture Blackwater City within three days, the loss of 300,000 troops must be extremely heavy, which was really a stupid move.
Nangong Yanyu's expression was quite playful.
The general also immediately said: "Then Lord Yilin's strategy, how do you need to break the city in three days?"
Ling Feng smiled indifferently and said, "Of course, it is to attack from all sides, and attack head-on!"
The general immediately said: "Although Lord Lin is a second-grade Qinglongwei, I am afraid that he is used to fighting in the rivers and lakes and does not understand the battlefield. If there is a cloud in the art of war, the siege of the division will be que, how can there be a reason to attack from all sides?"
Ling Feng smiled disdainfully, and said: "The way of using soldiers is nothing more than complementing each other, winning by surprise is only used when the strength is not much different, if the strength is far superior to the other party, naturally only need to be upright and crush it with the general momentum." Could it be that if you compete with children, what kind of tricks do you have to use? With the strength of my Great Chu, if you can't even take a single Blackwater City, how can you talk about leveling the Seven Southern Barbarians?"
The room stopped talking. Yes, if they can't even capture Blackwater City, how can they talk about leveling the Seven Southern Barbarians?
At this time, Nangong Yanyu said with a smile: "I think Brother Lin's idea is good, the soldiers are fast, and now the situation in the grassland is turbulent, and changes may occur at any time." Therefore, we really want to pacify the Nanban as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yanyu thought about it, if he could capture Blackwater City in three days, Kyoto would definitely be boiling, and the saint would definitely reward him, which seemed to be a good choice. Therefore, he asked, "Does Brother Lin have any specific ideas?"
Ling Feng said: "As Brother Nangong said, the soldiers are very fast! When the Red Flame Army opens the way to Blackwater City, they will attack immediately. I'm willing to be responsible for dealing with a Martial Sect powerhouse! ”
Zhou Yanyu heard Ling Feng's affirmative tone and knew that he had underestimated this cheap brother, and he remembered Ling Feng's record of killing the Golden Wolf King, and it was enough to resist a strong martial artist. Therefore, his confidence increased a lot, and he smiled: "Okay, just what Brother Lin said!"
......
At this time, Zhou Yulang was leading three thousand Red Flame troops to open the way in front.
The road leading from the Kurosawa tribe to Blackwater City is narrow, overgrown with weeds, and the mountain roads are rugged, making them unsuitable for large armies to advance on, and they are easily ambushed by enemies from both sides of the road. The main task of Zhou Yulang, the vanguard, was not to fight, but to open the way.
A moment later, Zhou Yanyu sent another 5,000 soldiers to assist in opening the way.
With the assistance of 5,000 soldiers, the speed of opening the road increased greatly, and by the time of Shen, the narrow mountain road of more than 30 miles quickly turned into a wide avenue.
Ling Feng set off with the army and rushed to Blackwater City.
Half an hour later, five miles outside Blackwater City.
The Great Chu army stopped and began to rest.
At this time, Zhou Yanyu said: "Brother Nangong, you lead 50,000 horses to make a detour to the east of Blackwater City to attack!"
Nangong Yanyu smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Nangong takes orders!"
Immediately, Zhou Yanyu looked at Ling Feng and said, "Brother Lin, you also lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to detour to the west of Blackwater City to attack. ”
Ling Feng clenched his fists and said, "Little brother takes orders!"
Then, the two men each took 50,000 soldiers and horses and left.
Han Yue was the Five Dragon Guard, so she naturally followed behind Ling Feng and went to the west together.
After the two left, a purple-clothed young man with a sword at his waist flashed and appeared beside Zhou Yanyu.
The purple-clothed young man had a handsome face, but his expression was extremely arrogant, and he said coldly: "The south will be handed over to me!"
Zhou Yanyu was not angry, or he couldn't be angry, this purple-clothed young man was called Fan Yang, he was a disciple of the Holy Fire Sect, one of the seven major sects, and he was a strong martial arts sect of the younger generation. At a young age, he had already caught up with the elders of the sect, and he naturally had an arrogant temperament. And this person also has the ability to be proud, although he is only a cultivator in the early stage of the Martial Sect, but he has a strong foundation, the quality of the true yuan and the martial soul are of the highest grade, and the combat power is extremely powerful, not inferior to some masters in the middle of the Martial Sect, so naturally he will not be taken seriously.
For this southern expedition, the imperial court reached some agreements with the Holy Fire Sect, and the Nangong family and the Zhennan Wangfu were the same, and they all sent the strong men of the Martial Sect to help. However, although these martial arts powerhouses came to the army, they were completely autonomous and not subject to the slightest constraint.
Therefore, he also thought about it, smiled, and said, "In that case, I will send 50,000 elite soldiers to assist Brother Fan." ”
"Then there will be work!"
Fan Yang said indifferently, and then led the troops to take a detour to the south of Blackwater City.
......
More than a quarter of an hour later, Blackwater City, in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
A Blackwater janissary hurriedly came to report and said, "Lord Wang, it's not good, the Great Chu army has arrived outside the North City Gate!"
Chen Wang Chen Yongsheng's face changed, and he said: "The army came to the city so quickly, two uncles, now do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Next to him, Great Elder Chen Miao was also stunned, according to his estimate, it was impossible for the Great Chu army to come so quickly. After all, this battle did not end so quickly, and the other party could not be so anxious, could it be that he was preparing to attack, or was there some conspiracy? He couldn't understand it, so he didn't know how to deal with it, so he was silent.
And the second elder Chen Heishui said disapprovingly: "Patriarch don't worry, our Heishui City is strong, even if Great Chu has an army of 300,000, it won't be pleased." ”
Chen Yongsheng's face improved slightly, and he sighed: "I hope so, but the master of Da Chu is like a cloud, and it is a little difficult to persist in the rescue of the other six departments." ”
At this time, Chen Miao asked: "Yongsheng, is there any news from Yongliang, does the barbarian king agree to send troops to rescue?"
"No news!"
Chen Yongsheng shook his head and continued: "Originally, we agreed that no matter what the result was, we would be summoned back in time, but now there is no news, and it seems that we have been placed under house arrest by the Monshan Ministry. ”
When Chen Miao heard this, he immediately said with a serious expression: "In this way, it is difficult to say when the reinforcements of the other six departments will come, it is better for us to abandon Blackwater City and go to the depths of the Southern Wilderness to establish a foundation and seek stability!"
Chen Yongsheng shook his head and said: "Blackwater City is our foundation, and if we move rashly, the loss of population and property is unpredictable. Moreover, we have reached the depths of the Southern Wilderness, and if we want to build a city again, we will have to work hard for a hundred years. And without the defense of the city, it is difficult for the demon beasts in the depths of the wilderness to defend and gain a foothold! Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Blackwater City cannot be abandoned. ”
Immediately, the three of them began to discuss specific strategies to defend against the enemy.
Not long after, another Blackwater guard came to report: "Lord Wang, a large number of Great Chu troops have also appeared on the east and west city walls, and they are also carrying siege equipment, and they seem to be preparing to forcibly attack the city!"
Chen Heishui said with a smile: "Wai Sanque one, the same old thing, it seems that Zhou Yanyu is nothing more than that!"
Chen Yongsheng also let go of his worries, since the other party had made this layout, he was obviously unwilling to attack and increase casualties. That meant that he wanted to delay for three days was enough. When reinforcements from the other six ministries arrive, the natural crisis can be solved.
Chen Miao was skeptical, and always felt that something was wrong.
