Chapter Seventy-Five: The Great Army Siege the City
As soon as he sat down, Yang Xiaotian informed Master Luo Chenghuilun that he was in the house, and fortunately the group had already fallen asleep, otherwise it would be very embarrassing for the two parties to meet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo Cheng picked the key points and recounted the fierce battle with Yang Xiaotian, obviously Yang Xiaotian had already received a more detailed report from his subordinates, but he still listened carefully to Luo Cheng's point of view, and now even Luo Cheng thought that Xuanyue was not enough to trouble for the time being, the old fox suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he secretly decided that once he ascended the throne, he would find out this demon, otherwise the palace would not be at peace.
However, there are still some doubts in Xuanyue's escape that cannot be explained, Yang Xiaotian looked at Xiaoyu and knocked on the side and said: "Xuanyue, this demon seems to be afraid of fire, and he can't imagine that he can break out of the encirclement by burning into a fireball, it's a pity!"
Luo Cheng replied on his behalf: "Xiaoyu is young after all, and he can't continue the spell even if his skill is greatly damaged, but it has also caused Xuanyue to suffer a heavy blow. ”
Yang Xiaotian nodded, and said to himself: "Why did the old ancestor only slap that guy and not kill him on the spot?"
Even Luo Cheng and the others didn't figure out this problem, and after searching the entire palace without finding any trace of Xuanyue, Luo Cheng and the others also deliberately searched the secret passage, but they found nothing. Everyone expected that the demon must have gone away and found another safe place to heal his wounds, but there was no other explanation.
After finishing the business, Luo Cheng asked casually: "Now that the preliminary examination has ended, I believe that there are many talents in the martial arts, and the competition must be very fierce." I don't know if the lord of the Shangyuan Festival will end up in person?"
Yang Xiaotian knew that it was difficult for him to hide his intentions from others, and said bluntly: "How can a real master care about these false names. There are a few good seedlings this year, but unfortunately most of them will not be used by the old man, who has made a loss-making deal this time. ”
Luo Cheng said with a smile: "The mansion master said that he was laughing. Month by month, the mansion is full of talents, and the mansion lord is eloquent and strategic, so why worry about the big thing not being accomplished? Then again, thousands of martial arts people from various states came to participate in the grand event, which shows the prestige of the mansion lord on the rivers and lakes. ”
This sycophant shot was just right, Yang Xiaotian took all the orders, and smiled quite comfortably. Now that everything is ready, just waiting for the Yuan Festival, the supreme throne seems to be beckoning to him. After conspiring for so many years, it has finally paid off a lot, how can he not be excited. Even Hui Lun felt that he had the appearance of the Son of Heaven, hinting at the support of Beichan Temple. Luo Cheng's intentions seem to be true. The only thing to worry about is the old immortal in the palace, if she doesn't know each other at that time, hum......
Will things really go as smoothly as Yang Xiaotian planned?
Two days later, that is, on the fourteenth day of the first month, the yellow calendar said that it is advisable to adopt, sacrifice, and make an alliance, avoid making a bed, traveling, and meeting relatives and friends, and it is not appropriate to travel far today. Seeking peace, everywhere reveals the joy of the festival. And the hour has just passed. Tens of thousands of troops appeared near Luojing, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the capital of Yanzhou was surrounded.
In the face of the sudden enemy, the generals guarding the gate did not dare to slack off, and after closing the city gate, they sent people to report urgently to the Moon Mansion and the Imperial Palace, the palace was signaled by the ancestors, and the emperor stamped it, and granted Yang Xiaotian temporary command to defend the battle of Luojing. In fact, without waiting for the holy decree to be issued, Yang Xiaotian had already rushed to the south gate and gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures in the city tower.
The enemy outside the city did not rush to attack the city, but was making siege equipment unhurriedly, neither anyone came out to shout, nor did they show their banners, and everywhere revealed a trace of weirdness. However, looking at the service of the enemy army, there is no doubt that it should be the garrison army taken away by Yang Zhe, what thoughts Yang Zhe is moving, Yang Xiaotian does not know, can it be that just 30,000 people can capture the fortified city guarded by 20,000 elite Praetorian Guards?
The old fox scoffed at this, but the two commanders were not his own people, he always felt a little awkward, and immediately reprimanded: "The scouts of the Praetorian Guard are like wine bags and rice bags, and they let 30,000 enemy troops directly come to the city, and you two commanders are to blame!"
The enemy army is clearly a soldier of Yanzhou, and of course the march in Yanzhou will not attract the attention of all parties, and the scouts routinely sent out have indeed not returned, although they know that Yang Xiaotian is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and the situation is weaker than people, Diao Biqing can only hang his head and not speak.
But Zhang Bang said in a loud voice: "Emperor, according to humble estimates, the enemy army outside the south gate alone is no less than 50,000, plus those at the east gate and the west gate, the number of enemy troops is estimated to be no less than 100,000, and the enemy is five times as large as mine, this battle is not easy." ”
"Ten, one hundred thousand?"
Yang Xiaotian looked at the army outside the city, and the fear in his heart arose, such a large army movement, the intelligence network under his command had no news, it was really unbelievable, he said anxiously: "Then according to what General Zhang said, we have to recruit troops in the city in a hurry, this matter is entrusted to General Zhang, the old man still has three thousand disciples of the Moon Mansion, and he can also assist in defending the city at that time!"
Zhang Bang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists and took the order, not a short time, a guard came to report, and a letter was shot from under the city, indicating that Yang Xiaotian wanted to open it in person, and the soldiers did not dare to make their own decisions, so they hurriedly handed over the letter.
Yang Xiaotian opened the letter and looked at it, he almost vomited blood in anger, he tore the letter to shreds, and shouted: "Yang Zhe Xiaoer, you deceive people too much!"
The generals were furious when they saw this old fox, and they all chased after him and didn't dare to speak, but fortunately, the enemy was not in a hurry to attack the city, and everyone could only be his punching bag for the time being.
In Yang Zhe's big tent, the generals are discussing the details of the attack, Yan Yan and Zhao Tiedan are in the list as the Huizhou military, and the Yanzhou army is led by Baiguan, and there are three partial generals to assist, the two armies have a total of nearly 60,000 elite soldiers, plus more than 30,000 recruits, and 10,000 logistics miscellaneous soldiers, it should be enough to defeat Luojing, but it must be done before the border army returns, otherwise the enemy will be affected on the back, and there is a fear that the whole army will be annihilated.
Seeing that Yan was speechless, Yang Zhe humbly asked: "Yan Dudu has been through a hundred battles, I don't know what to do?"
As soon as Yan Yan looked up, he saw the masked man standing next to Yang Zhe, seeing that the staggered figure should be a woman, he had also heard of Yang Zhe's lustful name, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and replied with a fist: "Yang Lian is now in command of 100,000 border troops, we have to block all the communication arteries and prevent Luo Jing's messenger for help, in case someone breaks through, the border army can return in five days, then it will be very unfavorable for us." ”
Yang Zhe didn't know what the other party was thinking, and explained casually: "This woman is a woman who has only recently joined our army, and now she is Yang's personal guard, don't think crookedly! According to the governor's estimate, will Yang Xiaotian surrender?"
Yan's face was obviously relaxed, and he said bluntly: "Your Highness should know the Lord of the Yang Mansion better than me, how can his old man be easily defeated, we are settled in this battle!"
Bai Guan on the side immediately hugged his fists and said: "With 100,000 against 20,000, our army is five times the enemy, and we will definitely be able to break through the city.
Even Yang Zhe felt a little disgusting about this sycophant, but since he supported himself, he could only be kind and flowing: "This hall thanks you for your strong support, once you sit facing the south, this hall will never hesitate to reward, you are all from the dragon's work, you will definitely seal your wife and son, and rest with the country!"
"Your Highness!"
The generals spoke in unison, making Yang Zhe flutter unconsciously, the taste of being in power is really wonderful...... (To be continued.) )
