Chapter 961: Sending troops, Zhangyang City
At noon, the army of more than 20,000 people had been completely assembled in front of Yifeng City, just waiting for Huang Yuchen's order to open Zhangyang City.
Huang Yuchen left the Wufu and walked near the city gate, and Wang Junliang came with several of his generals to see him off.
Although they were very reluctant, Zhang Mingyuan and Gui Yongnian still handed over their elite to Wang Junliang's command, which could not only ensure that Yifeng City would not be lost, but also ensure that they had the right to manage these troops.
Of course, these were all in Huang Yuchen's eyes, but he didn't say a word.
If Wang Junliang can't even solve this matter, it will be impossible for him to become a minister of rights issues around him in the future.
Wang Junliang walked behind Huang Yuchen, and when he reached the city gate, he stopped.
Outside Yifeng City, there are rows of neatly arranged soldiers of Mingyuan City, with military appearance symbols and heroic appearance.
Just looking at the surface, it really looks like an elite division.
Huang Yuchen glanced at the troops in Mingyuan City, and there was no trace of expression on his face.
Wang Junliang on the side said softly: "Your Excellency, what if you take Zhangyang City in three days?"
Huang Yuchen turned his head to look at Wang Junliang, smiled slightly, and said, "I will shoot someone to hand over to you, for the time being, you will stay in Yifeng City first." ”
After speaking, Huang Yuchen walked straight forward and said in a loud voice: "Open up!" and never looked back at Wang Junliang.
Wang Junliang looked at Huang Yuchen's back, and still felt some emotion in his heart, after not seeing him for a few days, Huang Yuchen seemed to be a little more mature.
However, he was still very happy that he had become the guard of Yifeng City, and Huang Yuchen was able to get himself all the way over, which showed that he was still trustworthy in his heart.
Therefore, after Wang Junliang returned to the city, he immediately began to arrange the defense of Yifeng City, if this Yifeng City was not well defended, his Wang Junliang's grand plan to dominate would end here.
......
Huang Yuchen divided the 20,000 sergeants into three groups, 2,000 in the front army, 10,000 in the middle army, and 8,000 in the rear, with a difference of five miles between the front and back, and quickly advanced forward.
However, Huang Yuchen did not arrange for scouts in the army, and he asked the breeders to walk in front of the group, always reporting any information he saw.
For Huang Yuchen's arrangement, no one raised any objections, and the current Huang Yuchen seemed to have the intention of going his own way in their eyes.
20,000 soldiers went to attack Zhangyang City, if Zhangyang City defended the city, I am afraid that even if all the military strength is consumed, it will not be enough.
These generals didn't have a clever plan to break through Zhangyang City, so they wouldn't come to touch Emperor Yuchen's bad head.
In the deep snow, all the soldiers could not ride horses, and Huang Yuchen was the same, walking on the snow with many soldiers.
It's just that in the whole army, Huang Yuchen and Zhuang Lexian's bodies have never fallen into the snow, and their steps are light on the snow on the surface, very relaxed.
From this point of view alone, Huang Yuchen and Zhuang Lexian's cultivation is already extremely high, and they can easily control their bodies from falling.
The speed of the march of the army was not too fast, but it also gave Huang Yuchen time to think carefully about how to break through Zhangyang City.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Huang Yuchen has led a large group of men and horses to attack the city.
In his heart, he was naturally a little nervous.
There are too many things to consider in the battle between the brigades, and if you don't think about the details, you may lose the whole game.
For this point, Huang Yuchen is very cautious.
The army of 20,000 only brought five days' rations, counting the two-day journey, in fact, there were only three days left for Huang Yuchen to attack the city.
Leading troops to siege the city, and sneaking into the city with a few masters is definitely not the same thing.
And in a city like Zhangyang City, I'm afraid there is not only one guard.
From Luo Qian's mouth, Huang Yuchen probably knew something about Zhangyang City.
This city had been bloodily purged by the Western Palace, and those who were loyal to the Prayer Heaven Empire had probably been completely slaughtered at this moment.
If you want to surrender like Yifeng City, I am afraid it will be very difficult, Huang Yuchen is thinking about a foolproof strategy in his mind at this moment, a strategy that can kill the entire Zhangyang City with one blow.
It's just that this kind of strategy is not so easy to come up with.
............
Two hundred miles away, Zhangyang City.
Today, it is a good day, with clear skies and sunny days.
In the cold winter, you can also feel a touch of warmth.
In front of Zhangyang City, there is a chair, next to the chair is a tea table, in front of the tea table, a straight small stove, on which is making a simple teapot.
A young general, sitting leisurely on the top of the city, took a sip from time to time with the teacup next to him, so comfortable.
Even in such a sunny day, it was very cold outside, and it was very strange that this young general was sitting so comfortably on the city wall.
A breeze blew, and the sergeant guarding next to him couldn't help but shudder, and he was no stranger to the strange behavior of this young general.
Looking at the scenery outside Zhangyang City, the corners of the young man's mouth rose lightly, and a pair of eyes shone brightly, and he was very capable at first glance.
"Report!"
One person walked quickly up to the city wall, but after getting on the city wall, his steps slowed down, and he gently walked to the side of the young general, and said beside the young general: "Lord, report for the new battle." ”
"Tell me. The young general picked up the teacup again and took a sip lightly.
"Emperor Yuchen, the prince of Qitian, suddenly appeared in Yifeng City and took the command of the Mingyuan City troops that were attacking Yifeng City, and the master of Mingyuan City fled. ”
"Now Yifeng City is under the command of Prince Yuchen, and he is gathering 20,000 troops at this moment, approaching in the direction of Zhangyang City. ”
The man spoke quickly, but in a soft voice, as if he were afraid that others would hear him.
These words were completely heard by the young general, but his expression did not change in the slightest, he just picked up the teapot, poured the boiling tea inside, and filled himself.
After a while, he asked, "Where are you?"
"It is less than two hundred miles away from Zhangyang City. The man said softly: "But he has just gained control of the troops, and I'm afraid the combat power will not be too strong." ”
"Then you're underestimating him. The young general's eyes narrowed slightly, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Can you still have me to understand him?"
When the man heard this, he was slightly stunned, didn't say anything, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Lord, what do you command?"
"No, you go down, and if you have any other circumstances, report to me at any time. ”
The young man spoke softly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
The man behind him whispered yes, and then slowly stepped back, his footsteps very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the young man's purity.
"Has the lake in the city been smashed open?" the young man asked, turning back to the sergeant behind him.
When the sergeant heard this, he turned his head to look into the city, and saw several men dressed as sergeants beating the lake with their blades on a lake in the middle of the city, as if they wanted to make an ice hole to get out.
"Back to the general, not yet. The sergeant replied softly.
"What a trouble!" the young general cursed in a low voice, and then casually pulled out the long sword in the scabbard beside him and slashed it along the sky.
I saw a bright sword qi soar into the air, and then disappeared into the sky.
The young man drew his sword into its sheath and picked up the teacup again and drank it.
A moment later, that bright sword qi fell from the sky and slashed directly above the surface of the lake, only to hear a loud bang, and a large pit was carved out on the surface of the lake, revealing cold water under the thick layer of ice.
"Go, set up the pavilion for me, I'll go fishing later. The young general gave a casual order, and the sergeant behind him immediately received the order and walked down quickly.
On the surface of the lake, a group of sergeants began to work quickly, and soon, a gazebo was set up, and in the pavilion, there were also quaint tables and chairs.
A fishing rod went deep into the lake, and in order to prevent the lake from freezing, there were two sergeants standing on the left and right, and they kept using their blades to stab the frozen water that was moving immediately.
The young man smiled slightly, dodged, and disappeared above the city wall.
Then, his figure appeared in the gazebo, holding a fishing rod in his hand, drinking tea and fishing at the same time.
It seems that the entire Zhangyang City is not surprised by this matter, and the pedestrians on the street are still busy, and no one looks here.
"Huang Yuchen...... You're here. ”
The young general thought secretly in his heart while fishing.
......
The army marched forward until late at night, about forty miles, and Huang Yuchen ordered the whole army to repair in place.
Under Huang Yuchen's order, all the sergeants began to rest in place, and a day's rapid march was enough for these recruits.
Huang Yuchen looked at the rest of the sergeants in the barracks, and the day's rapid march had almost exhausted all their physical strength, which was obviously the result of insufficient training.
Such sergeants can only be filled, but they are not at all at the level of elite troops.
At this time, Huang Yuchen suddenly remembered the scene when he was in the enclave before, fighting side by side with the rest of his life.
Thinking of the scene of their thousands of men and thousands of horses rampaging through the entire enclave, such a sergeant can be called elite.
If the elite troops of the Eastern Palace's Mansion were in his hands, no matter what the city, Huang Yuchen would dare to try.
However, he only has such a sergeant in his hands now, no matter what, he must use such a sergeant to defeat Zhangyang City, every time he thinks of this, Huang Yuchen has a headache.
He didn't think of a foolproof strategy to take Zhangyang City with the least number of troops.
Huang Yuchen walked to his big tent and sat on top of it, there was no one else in the tent, only Zhuang Lexian, who was sitting on the side, who was bored, and Luo Qian, a personal soldier standing behind Huang Yuchen.
Zhuang Lexian glanced up at Huang Yuchen, saw that he was a little worried, and suddenly grinned, and said, "What's wrong with you, you are depressed every day, are you tired?"
Huang Yuchen didn't speak, these words and Zhuang Lexian were equivalent to playing the piano to the cow.
Seeing Huang Yuchen ignoring him, Zhuang Lexian suddenly became energetic, he sat up, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said, "Ask you, what's wrong with you!"
Huang Yuchen glanced at Zhuang Lexian and said, "I can't think of a way to break through Zhangyang City." ”
And at this moment, Luo Qian behind him said: "Your Excellency, I have a way." ”
