Chapter 682: Besiege and attack the reinforcements!
The cicadas chirping and the leaves rustling in the wind in the summer night are peaceful and harmonious, but in the county government of Liyang City, the sound of music and music is endless.
Ning Fan put on a coat, strode out of the room, exhaled deeply, and a gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes.
Tomorrow is the last day, and what should come should also come.
"Report--"
"What's the matter?"
Ning Fan strode out and saw a figure hurriedly walking in: "General, Yizhou City reported that a large Li cavalry attacked the city gate. Please send troops to help immediately!"
"What!"
Ning Fan was shocked and asked: "Where are the generals?"
"They are waiting in the main hall."
"Lead the way!"
All the way to the hall of the county government, more than a dozen figures standing on both sides saluted respectfully when they saw Ning Fan.
"Greetings, General!"
"No need to be polite!"
Ning Fan looked at the leading general and said in a deep voice: "Xu Kuang, what is the situation in Yizhou City? Has the city been broken?"
"General, the current situation is unclear. The soldier who came to report the news just now fainted from exhaustion."
"How many soldiers do they have?"
"According to the reporter, there are at least 10,000 cavalry."
"What!"
Ning Fan's face was replaced by shock, and he said in confusion: "Now, Marshal Yun led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south bank of the Li River, and the main The troops have already retreated to the north bank. Where did these cavalrymen come from?"
"I don't know?"
"Xu Kuang, He Zhuang, you two will lead 30,000 elite troops to rush to Yizhou City. There are all the supplies of our army in Yizhou City. We must not lose them."
"Yes!"
The two men saluted respectfully and strode out of the hall. Ning Fan's face gradually calmed down. These two were Chen Ding's most capable assistants. Now that these two were transferred out, he would control half of Liyang City.
If the guess is correct, Xi Xiongtu should also have news.
...
"Heibingtai, Libei 72, see you!"
"No need to be polite!"
The black clothes in front of him were the secret agents in the northern part of Dali, numbered 72, and now the news of Lijiang River has come.
With Ning Fan's reminder, Xi Xiongtu also responded immediately. He first deployed heavy troops in the rear army to ambush the attacking Dayan cavalry, and used elite troops to directly resist Dayan's offensive and devour Dayan's flank power.
The three deployments directly caused Dayan to suffer heavy losses and lost soldiers and generals, which can be regarded as a great victory.
However, Ning Fan's layout has obviously not been implemented yet. It is not impossible to completely control Liyang City in one day in the current situation.
"Send a message to Lin Zhengxiang and ask him to pass the news of the recovery of Liyang City to the capital of Dali."
"Yes!"
"Activate the list of Yan characters. I want to know how many of our people are in Liyang City and what positions they hold before dawn."
"Sir, Lord Lin has already ordered his subordinates to bring it."
"Oh?"
Ning Fan's eyes showed a fierce look. The divisions and organizational structure of the Black Ice Platform are extremely tight. Lin Zhengxiang is the general manager of the Black Ice Platform in Li, belonging to the Li character, and now he wants to activate the forces hidden in Dayan.
It is necessary for the Black Ice Platform to contact the person in charge of the Yan brand, but now, Lin Zhengxiang can actually directly take out the list of the Yan brand?
What went wrong?
"Sir, Lord Lin asked his subordinates to inform that before you set off, No. 1 had ordered him to connect with the Yan brand and interconnect the intelligence."
"So that's it!"
Ning Fan's tense expression gradually calmed down. After taking the list, he quickly glanced at it and threw it on the candle, turning it into ashes.
"You go down and tell Lin Zhengxiang to keep a close eye on the Phoenix Platform."
"Now that there are our people in the Phoenix Platform, it is safer to pass the intelligence through the Phoenix Platform to my hands."
"Yes!"
...
Outside Yizhou City.
Gu Yun personally led 30,000 cavalrymen and ambushed on both sides of the mountains and forests. Zhang Liao was also wearing armor and looked at the ancient road in the distance.
"Trample!"
"Trample!"
As the sound of hurried footsteps rang out, Zhang Liao and Gu Yun looked at each other, and their eyes became excited.
Now Dayan's main force and cavalry have been transferred to the front line, and the rear is mostly infantry and standing army, whose combat power is far inferior to the main force. Therefore, Gu Yun is confident that he can eat Dayan's 30,000 troops.
"Here they are."
"Are the bows and arrows prepared enough?"
"General, don't worry. Whether it is bows and arrows or rolling stones and logs, the brothers have been busy for half a day and have prepared them. It is enough for these Yan cubs to drink a pot."
"Haha, I also want to thank the Yan army for leaving so many weapons and armor in Yizhou City."
"Archers, shoot!"
With Gu Yun's order, 30,000 cavalry suddenly shot arrows together, forming a rain of arrows, pouring towards the Yan army rushing to support Yizhou City. Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses neighing sounded, and Zhang Liao and Gu Yun rode out side by side.
"Kill!"
Looking at a group of cavalry suddenly rushing out of the jungle, Xu Kuang and He Zhuang both looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to resist the enemy!"
"Ah!"
"Puff..."
"General, be careful..."
An arrow accurately shot into He Zhuang's neck, and the latter fell straight off his horse. Xu Kuang was shocked. Now his side was in chaos and it was difficult to convey the order. How to resist this countless cavalry?
"Retreat!"
"Retreat to the mountains and forests on both sides."
"Retreat quickly!"
Xu Kuang raised his spear and shouted, and hurriedly turned his horse around, but the cavalry of Dali had already rushed to the front of the battle. Facing the chaotic Dayan infantry, it was undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction attack.
The wave of rolling stones, logs and arrows just now had already caused the morale of the Yan army to collapse, and an ambush naturally ended in a perfect battle.
"Soldiers, kill!"
"Don't let anyone go!"
"Revenge for the dead people of Dali!"
Gu Yun's eyes were red, and he saw Xu Kuang riding a tall horse in the crowd at a glance. He rode up directly, and the vanguard general Chai Chong also raised his weapon and followed Gu Yun's steps.
...
It was dawn.
Ning Fan sat in the yard all night until the small wooden board behind the rockery in the yard was pushed open and a figure jumped out of it, and then he slowly raised his eyes.
"My lord, the 30,000 Yan troops that left the city have been completely surrounded and annihilated."
"Yes!"
"What are the casualties?"
"More than 3,000 cavalrymen were killed or wounded."
"Got it."
Zhang Liao stood quietly by the side, while Ning Fan fell into deep thought. Although the siege and attack on the reinforcements caused Dayan to lose 30,000 soldiers and horses, it was nothing compared to the 300,000 troops in Liyang City.
However, Ning Fan's purpose was not to consume the troops in Liyang City. After all, even if 300,000 people stood still and let Gu Yun's 30,000 cavalrymen kill them, it would take half a day.
His purpose was to get rid of Xu Kuang and He Zhuang and to hit the morale of the Yan army. Naturally, his purpose was achieved.
"General, urgent news from outside the city..."
...
