Chapter 189: There was a sudden change in the face of battle
Thin puffy clouds floated in the blue sky. Suddenly, a cold wind swept through the walls, so cold that everyone wrapped their clothes tightly.
Luo shook his shoulders, and in the distance, he didn't see any figures.
"Shocking Wind, do you think they're going to send troops this morning?"
The long-bearded old man couldn't stand the cold wind, so he wrapped his robe.
"Uncle, although nothing has happened now, I feel that Wang Xun must send troops, and he can't afford to delay. Because their destination is Handan, it took so long for us to spend so much time on our one-third of an acre, and if we don't send troops and blood feuds, we won't be able to live the year. ”
He smiled deeply, but his frowning brow still showed his anxiety, his worry.
Wang Xun doesn't have to send troops, once he sends troops, it will be a nest dispatch. Moreover, it is hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of generals, and what worries Luo Jingfeng even more is the waiting without knowing the situation.
"I'm most worried about the beasts right now, because those beasts are fierce and mad. I had heard about it when I was a warrior. ”
The long-bearded old man took a step forward and stood beside Luo Jingfeng.
"Uncle, in fact, I have entered the camp of the Ten Thousand Beasts, which is very ferocious and terrifying, but I don't feel as powerful as the legend. ”
"You mean you took advantage of the chaos outside the city last time, right?"
"No, when Wang Xun first arrived outside the city, I went in and observed most of the beasts. ”
Luo Jingfeng glanced back at the long-bearded old man.
"The most powerful of those beasts are the ones that were released outside the city gate last time, and the rest are some scary-looking mutated animals. I don't think it's too surprising, but I'm not very worried about that. ”
"Then what are you worried about, although Wang Xun has many soldiers and fierce generals, but this is not powerful, we can completely fight against it. ”
"It's not that, my main fear now is whether they will increase their troops, or bring in more soldiers. It is already hundreds of thousands, dozens of times more than our defenders, and if we increase the number of additional troops, then we really have no chance of victory. ”
Luo Jingfeng turned sideways and leaned against the city wall, his face melancholy and anxious.
When the long-bearded old man saw Luo Fengfeng's demeanor, his previous unscrupulous attitude suddenly turned into a state of contemplation, as if he had thought of a more serious consequence.
Oh!
"When you say that, I really remember something. ”
The long-bearded old man took a step closer, basically shoulder-to-shoulder with Luo Jingfeng.
Shaking sharply, Luo Jingfeng stood up straight, and his face instantly appeared with surprise and horror.
He knew very well that his ideas were not groundless, let alone unreasonable speculation. Wang Xun has been stationed outside Kunyang City for so long, and he has not been in a hurry to attack in an all-out way, although there have been a few times, but they are all small-scale disturbances. Moreover, whether Kunyang City can be captured or not is actually not the ultimate real goal for him, and its destination is Handan City.
Then, after waiting for such a long time, Wang Xun must have another deep meaning, and it is possible that he had already received Wang Mang's other will before leaving.
"Uncle, are there any other reinforcements, or is there another army coming?"
Luo Jingfeng thought about the whole process before and after, and felt that there was no other possibility except these.
"You guessed it right. Before we set off, there seemed to be rumors that General Yan Youbian also led a part of the army, and we set off a few days earlier, but we didn't know where to go. ”
The long-bearded old man said in deep thought.
"Then where did he go, didn't he find any news?"
"No, I didn't have the mood to care about these at the time, but I heard that Wang Xun and Yan You were going to meet eventually, and I really didn't know where they were. ”
"That's right, it should be said that the place where Wang Xun and Yan You's army met is our place, which is now Kunyang City. ”
Luo Jingfeng glared and pointed fiercely to the outside of the city under his eyes.
The information of the long-bearded old man was completely consistent with Luo Jingfeng's concerns.
Wang Mang had seen the rise of the heroes before, but Liu Xiu's power should not be underestimated. After the crusade against the Eight Kings Rebellion, he did not directly conquest the rising rebellion of nearly twenty groups of millions of people, such as Tongma, Wuxiao, Fuping and Shangjiang. However, he focused all his energy on dealing with Liu Xiu's forces, and concentrated most of the troops, including hundreds of thousands of heavy troops of the imperial court led by Wang Xun and Yan You, the old commanders.
"The problem is that the siege of Kunyang City, Wang Xun's existing forces are completely satisfied, why did he send Yan You to rendezvous, this seems unreasonable. ”
The bearded old man looked puzzled.
He was too nervous to bless his windswept beard.
"This may be the unusual side of Wang Mang! What is more critical at the moment is that we don't know their true purpose. Therefore, I feel that this battle is not easy to fight, whether it is better to defend Kunyang City or give up evacuation. ”
Luo Jingfeng glanced up at the sky.
He was in a state of infinite anxiety.
At this time, although General Liu was still in Kunyang City, there were less than 10,000 soldiers defending the city. It is not a problem to fight Wang Xun, but with the arrival of Yan You, how will he fight.
The siege and defense of the city, which was already very different, but there was to be a stern rendezvous, didn't this completely shatter Luo Jingfeng's meticulous plan?
Alas!
"Or I'm too light on the enemy, I didn't calm down and think it out thoroughly, a few days ago, let's launch the main attack directly, that's fine. ”
Luo Feng shook his head weakly, and glanced at the long-bearded old man with great disappointment.
Wow.
There was a rush of footsteps.
The young plump face was flushed, and he ran over breathlessly.
"Boss, the style of painting is gone. ”
He pressed his hands on his knees, hunched over his head and began to gasp for air.
"What are you talking about? ”
Luo stood on the edge of the city wall in a hurry, looked down, and looked left and right.
As long as he could see the place, he looked carefully, and he couldn't see the shadow of the painting style at all.
"When did she disappear?"
"After leaving the official residence, you are in front, I was at the end, Huafeng said a few words to Sister Xie, and after I surpassed them, I went directly to the city gate, but I haven't seen her until now. ”
Although Nian Shaofeng said slowly, some of his words were still not explained.
"You didn't go with her?"
Well!
"I left first, and she and Sister Xie were still talking when I left. ”
Nian Shaofeng looked at Luo Jingfeng in panic.
"And you know what they said?"
"I don't know. ”
"Is she still in the mansion?"
"No, I sent someone to look for it, but there was no one at all. ”
Nian Shaofeng finally calmed down, and after taking a long breath, he stood up straight.
Luo Jingfeng's brows twisted together made his forehead and the bridge of his nose gather into a high and bulging fold of flesh.
The moment he tilted his head, he crossed his hands and pulled his cloak, walking slowly.
"Could she have escaped?"
The long-bearded old man glanced at Young Shaofeng in horror, and hurriedly stopped Luo Jingfeng, who was tilting his head and walking.
If so, it should be concealed, so as not to affect the mood of the soldiers. ”
Luo Jingfeng, who was looking down and looking at each other, shook his head.
"I can't hide it at all, our soldiers guarding the city, the mood has been very low these days, and the disappearance of the painting style may have spread throughout the city gate. ”
"And what do you plan to do to remedy it?"
The long-bearded old man still didn't understand the meaning of Luo Jingfeng's words.
"It's going to rain, so if my mother wants to get married, let her go!"
Luo Jingfeng glanced back at the long-bearded old man with a loss.
"But I'm not worried about affecting the mood of the soldiers, the key is whether there are other reasons for the escape of this style of painting at this time. ”
"I feel like the old man said, she is afraid that she will not be able to defend the city. ”
Young Feng glanced at the long-bearded old man.
"There should be no other reason, she knows Wang Xun's combat effectiveness best. may have learned that after General Liu deployed the army in Handan, there were 18,000 defenders in the city, but in her opinion, there was no way to hold on at all, let alone a trace of hope of victory, so she was directly scared away. ”
The bearded old man carefully analyzed and explained.
Alas!
"I still feel weird, the escape from the style may not be as simple as we think, but it has come to this point, and it is useless to think about it. ”
Luo Jingfeng reached out and covered his chest.
"Why is my heart beating so fast, I feel like it's popping out. ”
As he spoke, he swirled his palms vigorously and rubbed his chest.
"You're too nervous. ”
The long-bearded old man stood on tiptoe, one hand resting on Luo Jingfeng's shoulder.
"Although we are seriously short of defenders of the city, there is not much difference between one or two more and one or two less, and it depends on whether the two sides can seize the fighters in the fierce battle. ”
"Uncle, since this is the case, I want to adjust our established strategy of defending the city. ”
Luo Jingfeng furrowed his brows, and the muscles on his face relaxed.
"Then tell me about it. ”
"I want to evacuate part of the guards at the East and West Gates and concentrate them at the South Gate. ”
"Then it's harder for me to keep the goal. ”
Nian Shaofeng stared at Luo Jingfeng in surprise.
"You don't need to guard it, just leave some soldiers and captains. ”
Luo Jingfeng glanced at Nian Shaofeng's frightened expression, and after smiling hard, he stared at the eyes of the long-bearded old man.
"This is also a good choice, we might as well concentrate our forces and make a surprise attack on the first hour of Wang Xun's arrival. ”
"Yes, that's what I thought, anyway, with our current personnel, it's impossible to fight a regular war. And there will be reinforcements from Yan You, and the chance of winning is not at all. ”
After obtaining the consent of the long-bearded old man, Luo Jingfeng turned his head to look at Nian Shaofeng.
"You go and inform Sister and Tianmei now, and mobilize the troops of the two city gates to guard the south gate. However, it must be explained that the lieutenants can only defend to the death and must not meet the enemy without authorization. ”
As he spoke, he took out the tiger talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Nian Shaofeng.
