Chapter 1003 Return to the city!
Liujiang City.
Xu Da led his army to control the general's mansion and cleared the remaining troops in the city until dawn, when he completely took over the city gate.
"General, the food and grass in the city were not burned."
"Hahaha, there are more than two million stones of food and grass. Now we don't have to worry about logistics!"
Xu Da nodded slightly, looked around, and whispered: "Where is Chang Baichuan from Changjiangying?"
"Reply to the general, Chang Baichuan is leading his troops to clean up the battlefield."
"Let him come over!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, Chang Baichuan came to the big tent wearing a bloody battle robe, and his whole spirit seemed a little dazed.
"Marshal!"
"Yes!"
Xu Da nodded slightly and whispered: "There is news about your thousand-man team!"
"Really!"
Chang Baichuan's face suddenly glowed with excitement. Xu Da nodded slightly: "The success of breaking the city this time is all due to them."
"A few days ago, Fan Ning brought this thousand-man team and sneaked into Liujiang City."
"Tonight, they are supporting us in the city, and now they have rushed to Yushan!"
"What!"
Chang Baichuan's face was full of shock. If these words had not come from the mouth of the marshal, he would probably think that he was deliberately teasing him.
Not to mention how to get into the enemy, just relying on a thousand people to open the city gate from the city is a bit of a fantasy.
"Marshal, how did they..."
"I don't know!"
Xu Da was also confused. He only knew that the Crown Prince was in control of the whole process after this matter, but he didn't know how it was done.
Chang Yuchun and Tang He on the side looked at Xu Da: "General Xu, Fan Ning and his party have all made great contributions. Do you want to ask the court to reward them?"
"Yes!"
Xu Da nodded slightly and said softly: "Send a spirit pigeon to the capital as soon as possible, and ask the court to reward Fan Ning!"
"Yes!"
"You can leave first. I will notify you again when there is news about them!"
"Thank you, General!"
Chang Baichuan was obviously much more relaxed. Although his son's life and death were still uncertain, he had heard from Fan Ning and his party now, and they had made such great contributions. At least his contribution was not to be denied.
After everyone walked out of the big tent, Xu Da looked at Tang He and Chang Yuchun: "Now the main force of the Xiyan Army is constantly advancing towards Liujiang."
"The reinforcements from Zijing City, Huaifu, and Linjiang are also on the way. We have enough food and grass. Should we continue to advance westward or stay in Liujiang?"
"General Xu, there is enough food and grass in Liujiang, and the Xiyan Army is coming to help. Even if we are surrounded by the Xiyan Army, we are not afraid. If we continue to go west, we may encounter the encirclement of Dayan."
"There will be no strategic location to defend by then. We might as well guard Liujiang temporarily and wait for the Han Army, the Tang Army, and the Qin Army to move closer to this place."
"Yeah!"
Xu Da nodded, with a deep look in his eyes: "Linjiang and Quyuan will definitely have a breakthrough within half a month!"
"When the main force arrives, we can encircle the Xiyan Army!"
"In this case, let's wait for the opportunity here."
"Yes!"
...
On the ancient road
Ning Fan led more than 10,000 remnants of the army and marched towards Yushan. Now, with the death of Zhong Hui and Liu Kang, this army has completely fallen into his hands.
Dian Wei, Zhao Wanhu and other soldiers are now riding tall horses, guarding Ning Fan.
"General, are we going to Yushan?"
"No!"
Ning Fan shook his head, with a bit of concentration in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Turn north and head towards Huaifu."
"Attack from behind!"
"But most of our soldiers are..."
Dian Wei lowered his voice, and Ning Fan shook his head slightly. He naturally had a plan. Fighting in the daytime is naturally easy to blow up the camp, but at night no one can see each other, and it's over with a knife.
Moreover, he has the dynamic military map plug-in, which can basically avoid the scouts and ears of the Yan army, keep a proper distance from them, and wait until they set up camp at night, and then it's over.
"Old Fan, when will we return?"
"Well... at least we have to make enough military achievements to become a general, right?"
"Wouldn't that be soon?"
"Just in the battle of Liujiang, with your achievements, it's not a loss to give you a genuine general!"
"Haha!"
Ning Fan smiled and led the army for a day and a half. They didn't carry too much food, and the food and grass were almost consumed.
After a long circle, Ning Fan led the army through the canyon and came to the north of Liujiang City.
"Report!"
Hou Cheng has been the captain of the scout camp these days, and he personally led the team to inspect the enemy situation. Now he is flying to report, obviously there is news.
"Boss, the Yan army has 110,000 troops camping outside the city."
"The three camps are each in their own camp, namely Huaifu, Zijing City, and Linjiang's reinforcements."
"Yes!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly, with a dark light in his eyes. The dynamic map showed that the main force of the West Yan army was not far away. A rough calculation showed that they might be able to reach Liujiang City at noon tomorrow.
So, tonight will be their last chance!
"Order the whole army to prepare for dinner!"
"Yes!"
After the order was given, although many soldiers were confused, no one stood up to question it.
After it was completely dark, Ning Fan ordered the army to continue to advance towards the Yan army camp.
"Kill!"
Seeing that he was about to reach the enemy camp, Ning Fan shouted loudly and deliberately exposed his whereabouts. He saw dense arrows flying in the Yanjun camp, and then a group of soldiers and horses came out.
Ning Fan looked at Dianman and Fan Ning standing aside: "Are you ready?"
"Um!"
"Everything has been ordered!"
"When evil comes, Wan Hu, you lead the army to charge and kill them first!"
"promise!"
The two of them each led a group of soldiers and horses to kill the Yan army in front of them, but Ning Fan quietly retreated with a battalion of soldiers and horses such as Hou Cheng and Chang Hanyi.
The Yan Army camp seemed to be frightened by the sudden attack of soldiers and horses, subconsciously thinking that it was the Li Army that came out of the city to attack at night.
As a result, the two sides fought more and more urgently. Dian Wei and Zhao Wanhu quietly disappeared from the team, and the darkness almost perfectly hid their traces.
"Walk!"
Ning Fan watched the two men arrive and led his troops to retreat. Looking back, it seemed that many Yan troops had noticed their presence and had begun to flee.
"Lord, shall we enter the city!?"
"Well, I've already greeted you in advance."
"Walk!"
The thousand-man team that had accompanied Ning Fan out of the camp now had less than 800 people left. When they came to the city gate, the city gate suddenly opened.
I saw several burly figures walking out of the city, all looking at Ning Fan.
"But General Fanning?"
"Exactly!"
Ning Fan nodded, and the cry of killing came again not far away, and a group of soldiers and horses came directly towards the city gate to kill.
"Quick, enter the city!"
