Chapter 676 Is the general really a genius?
The night was like ink, the cool breeze was blowing, the fires on the shore were rising into the sky, and the shouts of killing continued for a long time.
In Yan Jun's commander's tent.
Yunxi sat firmly in the middle of the army, looking as usual, surrounded by a large number of staff and fierce generals.
"Report!"
"Commander, Dali's soldiers and horses are already on the east coast, and they have defeated my three battalions in a row."
After hearing the news from the messenger, Yunxi remained unmoved. Instead, he looked around and asked lightly: "How is the situation on the west bank?"
"Come back to the commander, Dali has set up heavy troops on the other side. Our ships are limited and the current is fast. We have not landed yet."
"interesting."
Yun Xi uttered two words lightly, looked at the sand table in front of him, and said meaningfully: "Xi Xiongtu changed from the normal situation today and directly crossed the river with a mighty army. Even in just half a day, he even Destroy my three camps.”
"They are all the three battalions with the weakest deployment of our army. So, Dali knows our army's defense deployment well?"
"Our army wants to cross the river from the west bank. The reason is that Li's deployment on the east bank is weak. But now, they have deployed heavy troops on the west bank to defend it. Is this another coincidence?"
"Or……"
A flash of murderous intent suddenly appeared on Yun Xi's gentle face, and he said solemnly: "Someone wants to block my way, someone is having an affair with Da Li, and wants to do something disobedient?"
"Commander!"
A staff member looked gloomy and said calmly: "The top priority is to redeploy the camp and defense first. Otherwise, when Xi Xiongtu gains a foothold on the west bank, we will definitely be in a dilemma!"
"What are you afraid of? I, Da Yan, have an army of one million. The Xiongtu is fully prepared, but it only has 300,000 soldiers and horses."
"It's better if they cross the river and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
Yun Xi's eyes flickered. He looked at the sand table and was silent for a long time. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the staff beside him: "Give me the order to stop crossing the river. With the fourth and fifth battalions, lead the army to detour north. The sixth and seventh battalions will The camp heads east to meet the enemy."
"Send 30,000 cavalry, led by a general, to circle back from the north and raid the east flank of Dali."
"promise!"
After everyone left, Yun Xi breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the sand table in a daze. After a long time, he whispered softly: "Xi Xiong Tu, this game of chess does not look like it was played by you."
"Dali, the country should not have perished so early."
…
"drive!"
"drive!"
Chai Chong led a thousand men to gallop all the way under the dark night. For the cavalry, the distance of three miles was only a moment.
"General, Da Yan's grain transport team has been spotted ahead."
"oh?"
There was a look of shock on Chai Chong's face, and he turned around and looked at the scout: "How many soldiers and horses do they have?"
"There are more than a hundred carriages, but the exact number of people is unknown."
"Kill them and don't let anyone go."
"promise!"
Chai Chong raised the broadsword in his hand, clamped the horse's belly suddenly, and led the Qianqi behind him to charge directly towards the grain transport team in front.
Da Yan's grain transport team was also a little confused when they heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer.
"Who is coming?"
"Tap...tap!"
They were still answered by the dull sound of horse hooves. The grain transport officer's expression became condensed and he said solemnly: "They might be horse thieves, so don't be afraid. Send an order to the soldiers to defend themselves against the enemy."
"promise!"
More than 700 people immediately formed a formation. Before they could see the figures clearly, they saw arrows coming directly from the sky.
The movement speed of the cavalry was like a nightmare to the infantry. In just a blink of an eye, a series of strong knights were seen charging out of the night with spears in hand, a torch in one hand and a sword in the other.
"cavalry?"
"Not a horse bandit?"
"It's Dali's cavalry. Quick, go to the nearby city to ask for help!"
"Kill!"
Chai Chong rushed forward suddenly, chopped down a Dayan soldier to the ground, and shouted: "Soldiers, the general has an order not to let anyone go!"
"kill!"
Figures fell into a pool of blood one after another. The grain transport officer saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. He silently threw the torch on the carriage and shouted: "Abandon the carriage and burn grain, retreat!"
"promise!"
Torches were thrown on the grain bags on the carriage. Chai Chong looked a little ugly, but he still said coldly: "Don't let anyone go, let's leave the grain alone."
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Arrows flew one after another, hitting the Da Yan soldiers who were trying to escape.
"General, they are all dead."
"Put out the fire and send your scouts to report back to the general!"
"promise!"
…
"drive!"
"Report, General, General Chai Chong has captured Da Yan's grain transport team!"
Upon hearing the report from the scout, Gu Yun stood up suddenly, came to the scout, and asked in shock: "Where is it?"
"Three miles away."
"hiss!"
Gu Yun glanced at Ning Fan in shock. It was such a dark night and the two armies were three miles apart. How did he know that there was a grain transport team from Da Yan three miles away?
Is it really a clever plan?
"Are you convinced?"
Ning Fan glanced at Gu Yun playfully. The latter remained silent, but his expression was a little more respectful.
"Send a few scouts, return to the camp quickly, and hand this secret report to the drama commander."
"yes!"
"Command the army to continue moving forward and arrive at Yizhou City before dawn!"
"promise!"
The 30,000 cavalry continued to gallop, and Ning Fan activated the dynamic military sandbox throughout the process, skillfully avoiding the surveillance of Yan's army. At dawn, 30,000 Da Li's light cavalry appeared in the rear of Da Yan's main force.
Yizhou City.
As one of the fortresses near Liyang City, it is located in the southeast of Liyang, with Zhenze in the east and Taichang City in the north. It has a superior geographical location.
"General!"
"There are only five thousand defenders in Yizhou City. How long will it take to capture Yizhou?"
"We don't have siege equipment with us. If we can get in before they close the city gate, we can break the city in one fell swoop."
"How sure are you?"
"Seventy percent!"
Ning Fan silently closed the system plug-in and said softly: "Send five thousand Qingqi to enter from the west gate. The defense of the west gate is relatively weak. We will attack with thunderous momentum and block the main force from the outside."
"Yizhou City is not big. If you guard the four city gates, you can cut off the communication between inside and outside."
"Is it possible?"
Looking at Ning Fan's solemn face, Gu Yun also solemnly performed a military salute: "General, don't worry, I am willing to issue a military order."
"only……"
"There are really only five thousand Yan troops in Yizhou City?"
"Um!"
"It's been calculated, don't worry."
"good!"
Gu Yun did not continue to talk nonsense. He immediately got on his horse, led a battalion of soldiers and marched directly towards the west gate. Ning Fan ordered the generals to divide their troops and block the gates on all sides. In just two quarters of an hour, the 30,000-strong army had already attacked the west gate. Yizhou City is surrounded by an iron barrel.
"Kill!"
There was no sound of war drums. Gu Yun's shout of killing directly led the knights behind him to rush into the city before the defenders could react. Ning Fan showed a smile on his face and said lightly: "Capture Yizhou City, these three Wan Tieqi is a knife stuck in Da Yan's heart, capable of destroying him at any time. "
"The next step is the main event."
