I don’t know where I am in the depths of the clouds, and I can’t remember my return journey when I wake up from a dream.
Guyue City is located in the south of many large swamps and is a very special place in Yuzhou.
Legend has it that during the previous dynasty, the terrain here was not like this.
Later, there were so many lakes of different sizes.
Transportation is not as convenient as before. Clouds and fog cover the north all year round, and Guyue City gradually declines.
From its status as a companion capital, it gradually became an ordinary large city in Yuzhou.
But even so, Guyue City is still a battleground for military strategists.
If Tianniu Taoist, the strongest among the Yuzhou Wanping Army, had not defended Xunshan City, the right general Qin Hu would have destroyed Guyue City in the first battle.
In ancient times, Vietnam was connected to the Xunshan Mountains and many great swamps to the north.
With a large population and rich products, it is an excellent base area.
Wang Meng and Cao Su led their armies to arrive outside Guyue City, and they also set up camp along Daze. Looking at Guyue City from a distance, they looked very arrogant.
After receiving the news, Guyue City had already put away the suspension bridge and closed the city gate.
On top of the city tower, Bai Cai and Gu Bo looked at Wan Pingjun who finally appeared, hesitating in their hearts.
The camp built by Wang Meng was very large and could accommodate fifty thousand elite soldiers. All the materials brought by the rebel army were used.
I only looked at it from a distance and had no idea how many soldiers there were in the camp.
"Brother Bai, Wang Meng may seem rough, but he is actually extremely sinister."
"It was this person who tricked the Taoist priest the day before yesterday and forced me to face the dragon alone. In the end, the men suffered heavy casualties."
Gu Bo was now extremely afraid of Wang Meng, and he made up his mind not to leave the city to fight.
Let Wang Meng attack the city and see how many people he can bring.
Bai Cai is a young general about the same age as Gu Bo. He has narrow eyes and his strength is at the fifth level of the Strength Realm.
Watching the rebel army setting up camp, he remained silent.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "Wang Meng's army has no baggage vehicles and is traveling lightly. There should not be many elite soldiers."
Gu Bo looked around and saw that it was indeed the case.
The army did not have baggage vehicles, or in other words, there were very few baggage vehicles, so it was a typical march with light equipment.
How many soldiers can you bring with you when you are lightly armed?
Both of them were generals who had gone through many battles, and they immediately thought, if they could both think of this, wouldn't Wang Meng not think of this?
Could this be a fake trick to lure them out?
Gu Bo shook his head and said: "Brother Bai, Wang Meng is a cunning person, so you must be careful."
Bai Cai sighed and felt helpless: "Brother Gu, you went out the day before yesterday. I received the envoy from Xunshan Tianniu Brother in the city the day before yesterday. Brother Tianniu asked us to start the army immediately, even if we gave up Guyue City.
Relationship, head to the Xunshan Mountains and attack the imperial army from behind."
The imperial army that Bai Cai spoke of was obviously General Right's 100,000 tiger army.
Gu Bo had also heard about this hundred thousand tiger army for a long time.
When Gu Bo heard what Bai Cai said, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
What does Tianniu Taoist mean? He is not in the city, so why don't you send people to look for him?
It’s not like Bai Cai is the only one who makes the decision in Guyue City.
So he said coldly: "Wang Meng is watching from behind. How can we abandon Guyue City? If we abandon Guyue today, Wang Meng will catch up with us tomorrow, and he will catch up after occupying Guyue."
"I think the longhorned beetle is too old and a little stupid to say such things."
Bai Cai glanced at Gu Bo.
Then he slowly said: "The beetle cannot stop Qin Hu. Qin Hu is not Lin Xiao. Qin Hu and Dao Gong are inextricably linked. Dao Gong's attitude towards Qin Hu is completely different from Dao Gong's attitude towards Lin Xiao."
, the number of alchemy-stage monks in Qin Hu’s army is only much greater than that of Tianniu.”
"Tianniu must have known Qin Hu's true and false intentions, so he asked us to attack from behind to reduce the pressure on his front."
"But Qin Hu may not be able to guard his back. If our ancient Yue army rushes forward, it will only interfere with him at most and will not pose much of a threat."
Bai Cai really considered it from a military perspective and did not send troops immediately.
Gu Bo's military ability is much lower than that of Bai Cai. He is a fierce general who charges into battle.
So he had nothing to refute. Since Bai Cai was not planning to send troops, it was consistent with his thinking.
Tianniu summoned Yuzhou's Wanping Army at Xunshan to fight in Xunshan City. Even if they didn't move, others would.
They are different from others. They have managed to save up their wealth with great difficulty. If they are wiped out by Qin Hu, the Hu Rong of the past will be their tomorrow.
"No matter what, Wang Meng should deal with it first."
Bai Cai looked at the rebel camp and fell into deep thought.
.........
The rebel army of 10,000 people surrounded Guyue City, where at least 50,000 elite soldiers were stationed.
Only Cao Su dared to mention such a bold act, and only Wang Meng dared to do it.
Used bluffing tactics to the extreme.
The only thing that troubles the rebel army is that the army's dry food is somewhat insufficient.
At this time, the advantage of having Daze at your back is revealed.
On the second day after the camp was completed, Cao Su brought some fishing boats and led some of his troops to fight against the rebels and fish on the large swamp behind him.
You need tools for fishing, usually a three-piece set.
Fishing nets, harpoons and fishing baskets.
Fish baskets are generally used more in small rivers. The fish baskets are placed in a fixed position and wait for the fish to automatically drill in. The method is relatively passive, mainly to determine the direction of the water flow.
Fishing nets are a relatively reliable fishing tool, but Cao Su didn't know how to do it, so he could only rely on his soldiers who were originally fishermen to operate.
He held the harpoon himself and relied on his powerful martial arts skills to fly quickly through the lake and insert it accurately.
You can't catch too many because you're worried about the monsters appearing in the swamp.
The shadow of Wang Meng's previous encounter with the dragon has not dissipated.
Although it was not known whether there were dragons in this large swamp, the water was also very cold, so the sergeants could only be careful and try not to cause too much noise.
The Wanping army on the city tower saw that the rebel army had not made any movement for several days.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Slowly relax your vigilance.
The two generals were very cautious. They did not expect that the rebel army could carry it for so long. This meant that they had brought a lot of baggage and food. There were no baggage trucks pushing out of the camp gate before. It was indeed Wang Meng's deliberate flaw!
The two armies set up their positions, but no one moved first.
Seven days later, there was sudden movement among the rebel army.
There was a sound of drums and a crowd of people rushed out of the camp.
Cao Su took the lead, riding a tall war horse and rushed to the front of everyone.
Thousands of people followed him and rushed all the way to the north wall of Guyue City.
Then the soldiers under his command formed a square formation, waving flags and shouting behind him, and at the same time there were bursts of drums, resounding through the sky, making it look like they were about to attack Guyue City.
........
On the city wall, Bai Cai and Gu Bo hurried over.
They saw Cao Su pacing back and forth on his horse under the city, dragging a two-meter-long big moon knife on the ground in his hand, leaving deep knife marks.
"Listen to the rebels in the city, Cao Su, the rebel army, is here."
"Don't be a coward, come out quickly and fight me, Cao Su, to the death!"
Cao Su's speech was without energy and his roar was thunderous. All the sergeants on the wall could hear him clearly.
Gu Bo was angry, why did he act like a turtle? You called the formation so suddenly, who had time to react?
Cao Su showed off his power outside the city with a proud look, which made many officers and soldiers of Wanping Army unhappy.
"It's unbearable for a mere Cao Su to break through the border alone and treat us like nothing!"
Gu Bo was furious on the city tower and was about to rush down to the city to fight Cao Su.
We must not let this wave of morale go.
However, he was pulled back by Bai Cai. Bai Cai's face was as usual and very calm. Even if Cao Su had already started to greet him, he pretended not to hear him.
"You are so old, but you still play the trick of fighting generals. Let him shout, and when he is tired of shouting, he will retreat."
Bai Cai didn't let Gu Bo take risks. If Gu Bo was really killed by Cao Su, the military morale in the city would really collapse.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a captain from the Wanping Army suddenly asked Bai Cai to fight.
"General, the rebel Cao Su's son is too arrogant. My subordinates are willing to fight him. If he disciplines him within three moves, he will die by my sword!"
It turned out to be Liu Yan, the colonel under Gu Bo's command.
This Liu Yan was not young, he was over 40 years old. He had not gone to the north with Gu Bo before, but he saw Gu Bo return in embarrassment, his army was greatly damaged, and many of his men were lost.
I have been feeling angry these past few days. I thought that the rebel army was coming and I could go out of the city and have a good fight.
Unexpectedly, the two generals started to behave like cowards again.
Cao Su's scolding was not bad at all, it just hit the hearts of these warriors who had been victorious since the uprising, and suddenly ignited the anger in their hearts.
"Okay, Lieutenant Liu, wait a moment while I warm you a glass of wine."
Gu Bo was overjoyed and made a toast when the sergeant was summoned.
Liu Yan went downstairs with his knife in hand: "Pour down the wine. Liu will come as soon as you go!"
