Zongwu: My business is to engage people
Chapter 76
Chapter 76 Special Siege
"But there are only 100,000 of us! Zhuo
Tianliu almost burst into tears. The Blood Moon Army on the opposite side totaled 600,000 people, which was completely impossible to defeat!
Jiang Yuan, however, did not take it seriously and said,"One hundred thousand people is enough. Just listen to my arrangements." Next, you send someone to figure out the mobilization situation of Pingzhou Blood Moon Army and report it to me in time."
"Also, when I come to Liuyun City, I must not let the news leak out."
"yes"
"Please arrange a place for me and Chu Wu to live! We will wait until tomorrow to find out the situation of the Blood Moon Army."
That night, Jiang Yuan and Chu Wu moved into an inconspicuous small courtyard in Liuyun City.
At noon the next day, Jiang Yuan was having lunch, and Zhuo Tianliu came to visit him again.
"Huh? You are in a hurry. Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten yet, just order it? Zhuo
Tianliu laughed dryly and said quickly:"I'm disturbing Mr. Hou from eating. I'll wait outside first. I'll come back after Mr. Hou has finished his meal.""
"No, just tell me if you have anything to say!"
"That's it. The spies sent out have figured out that the Pingzhou Blood Moon Army mobilized on a large scale last night. 400,000 people rushed to Mingzhou overnight. Now there are still 200,000 defenders in Pingzhou, distributed between Jizhou and ours. In the three neighboring cities"
"oh?"
Jiang Yuan put down his chopsticks and said with some surprise.
"Gu Yantian was quite fast. I just asked Ran Lie to show up in Mingzhou, and he immediately pulled the Pingzhou army over?"
Zhuo Tianliu was speechless. Ran Lie brought an army of 400,000, and they were elites who were good at fighting. The original garrison of Mingzhou was only about 100,000, and they were distributed in various cities. If they don't hurry up, I'm afraid the Blood Moon Army will come back. Mingzhou will have to fight a siege.
Jiang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Zhuo Tianliu and asked
"How about the defense force of Xinyou City, which is closest to us?"
Zhuo Tianliu replied immediately. It was obvious that he had done enough homework.
"There are currently 70,000 defenders in Xinyou City. According to visual inspection by spies, there are at least 10,000 defenders at the four major city gates. The remaining 30,000 are the mobile force of Xinyou City. Among them, the west gate and the north gate are the main connection paths between Xinyou City and the rear city. The east gate……"
When Zhuo Tianliu said this, he was interrupted by Jiang Yuan
"Okay, okay, I know you have a general idea of the defense of Xinyou City, but this is of little significance to our plan. We are not going to attack the city. There are 200,000 people left in the Blood Moon Army. Except for the 70,000 defenders of Xinyou City, where are the rest?"
"Among them, 80,000 people are stationed in the other two cities closest to us, and 50,000 people are stationed in the Pingzhou Marshal's Mansion."
Jiang Yuan chuckled and said:"The commander stationed in Pingzhou this time is Guan Conglin. His commander's palace is located in the former Mighty Prince's Palace. It is three cities away from Xinyou City, about two hundred miles away, right?"
Zhuo Tianliu nodded.
"Exactly"
"Let me ask you, how long does it take for an army of fifty thousand to march two hundred miles?
Zhuo Tianliu thought for a while and then replied:"If it is an ordinary march, it will take about three to four days." If it is a rapid march, it can take as long as two days or as short as one day."
Jiang Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes, it seems that you have not slacked off what Ran Lie gave you. Okay, now you go back immediately to assemble the army and prepare to capture Xinyou City"
"ha?"
Zhuo Tianliu has questions on his head. Attack Xinyou City? The Marquis is not joking, right? Attack a city with 70,000 defenders with only 100,000 people?
……
In Xinyou City, in the palace of the city lord, there was a scene of singing and dancing.
The guard general Sun Cheng has been a general for more than ten years. He has experienced dozens of large and small battlefields and can be said to be experienced in hundreds of battles.
When he learned that the commander of Liuyun City was just a young boy who had become a monk on the way, Sun Cheng didn't take Zhuo Tianliang seriously. When he learned that a hundred thousand people were just a feint attack force, Sun Cheng didn't take Zhuo Tianliang seriously anymore..
The Lord of Xinyou City smiled and picked up the wine glass and said
"General Sun, I'd like to toast you and thank General Sun for his army guarding this place. Otherwise, Qi Tianhou's 100,000 troops would be eyeing him, which would be really worrying."
Sun Cheng raised the glass to signal, drank it in one gulp, and then said
"The city lord kept his heart in mind. A mere young boy who had only studied the art of war for a few years dared to lead an army of one hundred thousand. I saw that Qi Tianhou had no one left. For a person like Zhuo Tianliu, let alone attacking a city, even if he leads an army of 100,000 people and I lead an army of 50,000 people to face each other on the plains, I can kill them with ease. The Lord of Xinyou City quickly flattered him and said,"
General Shenwu, having a general in Xinyou City is the blessing of Xinyou City!" I'll toast you again"
"kindness."
Sun Cheng picked up the wine glass, but his eyes were fixed on the dancing and charming singer, with no concealment of possessiveness in his eyes.
Seeing this, the Lord of Xinyou City quickly whispered:"If the general likes it, I will send her to the hospital tonight. How's it going in the general's tent? This is the number one newly trained by Wanhualou. Today is the first time to receive customers."
"Yeah?"
Sun Cheng smiled brightly and gave a look that every man would understand.
"Then City Lord Lao will arrange it."
"Small things, small things, come on, we won't go home until we get drunk today."
At this moment, a soldier ran in quickly
"Report, tell the general, enemy troops were found twenty miles away from Xinyou City?"
The Lord of Xinyou City was so shocked that his wine glass fell on the table, and he asked quickly
"How many people came and who was leading them?"
"A hundred thousand troops came out in full force, led by Jiang Yuan's deputy general of the first legion, Zhuo Tianliu."
When Sun Cheng heard this, he sat up straight.
Zhuo Tianliu personally led the army, and a hundred thousand troops came out. Is this preparing to attack the city? Didn't you say it was just a feint attack?
"Come, take my armor and go up to the tower."
On the tower of Xinyou City, Sun Cheng was dressed in battle armor and holding a snake spear eight feet in hand. He stood majestically on the tower, looking at Zhuo Tianliu's army gradually revealing his figure in the distance.
Next to him, the Lord of Xinyou City was worried. He said:"General Sun, Qi Tianhou's army is approaching fiercely. I'm afraid they are well prepared. Should we ask for help from the Marshal's Mansion?"
"No, this general wants to see how his 100,000 troops can capture my city with 70,000 defenders."
On the other side, Zhuo Tianliu was riding on a tall horse, looking majestic, with tens of thousands of troops behind him like a rainbow.
"Report, general, our 10,000 advance troops have arrived at Xinyou City"
"oh?
Zhuo Tianliu snorted:"Now that they are here, let them go to Xinyou City according to the plan to say hello and tell the defenders of Xinyou City that my extremely brave Liuyun City army of 100,000 people has arrived.""
"Got the order"
……
On Xinyou City, Sun Cheng looked at the 10,000-strong vanguard force, and the confusion in his eyes became even stronger.
However, the next moment, a high-pitched shout suddenly sounded
"Siege the city!"
In an instant, ten thousand troops carrying various siege equipment rushed towards Xinyou City.
"not good."
Sun Cheng was shocked. Are you really coming to attack the city?
"The whole army is on alert, the rolling stone is carried up the city wall, and the archers are ready"
"kill……"
The 10,000-strong army came fiercely, and the sound of killing was loud.
Sun Cheng stared at the opponent closely, nine hundred steps...eight hundred steps...seven hundred steps...
When Zhuo Tianliu's ten thousand troops approached the city wall two hundred steps away, Sun Cheng's long-prepared order Finally issued
"put……"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Suddenly, a rain of arrows erupted, and countless arrows were shot downward.
But... all of them missed.
Because the ten thousand troops stopped attacking two hundred steps away from the city wall, and instead lined up to train on the spot. Get up.
Sun Cheng was stunned, and the defenders on the city wall were also stunned.
What are you doing? Aren't you here to attack the city? Why are you training on the spot? And you still stay outside the limit range of the archers' attack. This is not a joke Are people playing?
The Lord of Xinyou City was also shocked. He swallowed his saliva as he looked at the 10,000 troops entering training below.
"General Sun, what's going on?"
Sun Cheng suddenly burst out laughing. It was indeed a feint.
He was trying to trick people by doing such a little trick. He was indeed a young boy who had only read a few military books and had little experience.
