Lei Ren's plan was very thorough. After contacting He Yang, Lei Ren personally put on makeup and went to Huangsha Town for reconnaissance.
As the hub that connects the east and west in the Western Wilderness, Huangsha City is indeed extremely tightly defended. Even because of the arrival of Lei Ren's troops these days, Huangsha Town has directly closed the gate, and no one is allowed to enter or exit!
Under such a tight defense situation, it would be very difficult for Thunder Blade to capture Huangsha Town.
After observing continuously for a month, Lei Ren told Han Ziqian and Chen Chao not to attack Huangsha Town for the time being, but to attack Shitong City, which is more than 600 miles north of Huangsha Town.
Of course, Lei Ren also sent a message to He Yang, who was relatively close to Huangsha Town, telling her to train her troops secretly and stay put.
Attacking Shitong City was naturally a pretense.
Lei Ren led the troops to attack Shitong City, with Han Ziqian as the vanguard. In fact, they spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. They just spent time here and diverted the enemy's attention.
On the other hand, Lei Ren asked Chen Chao to recruit troops in Xihuang. The Seventh Immortal Emperor gave him the power to recruit troops, but he did not have the silver to recruit troops for Lei Ren. Fortunately, when he was in Nanzhou, Lei Ren's Lei family
Jun has a rich family background, and when he leaves this time, he takes all his wealth with him, so recruiting troops will not be a problem.
What annoyed Lei Ren the most was not these trivial matters, but the attitudes of Long Feihu and the others.
When attacking Shitong City, Lei Renxiang and Long Feihu sent a gathering order, asking the three of them to lead their troops to join together and attack Shitong City in one fell swoop.
But ten days passed, and there was no reply from Long Feihu and the others. They turned a deaf ear to the orders from their immediate superior, Lei Ren, and ignored them.
"General Long, this is an order. You must lead your troops to reach Stone Copper City within three days!"
"General Lei is aware that I have been feeling cold recently. There are also quite a few sick soldiers among the soldiers. We really can't get here in a short time. I'm sorry."
"I am not ordering you as a superior, but as a colleague asking you to lead troops to reinforce me."
"I thought about it too, but now I really can't separate myself and I'm sick again. Don't you have the invincible Lei Family Army? Don't you also have the civilian God of War? I believe in your strength, mentally.
I support you 250%. However, if you want me to bring troops, you have to wait until I recover for a few months."
"General Long, we are all generals of the Immortal Dynasty, working with His Majesty the Seventh Immortal Emperor. If you don't help me now, do you know what will happen if you ask me for help in the future?"
"You have 50,000 people, do you think I will ask for anything from you? Don't worry, you don't have to come to save me when the time comes. I died in the battle, and it has nothing to do with you! I brought it upon myself, and I deserve it. My answer is,
General Lei should be satisfied, right?"
The two of them were flying beasts sending letters, and they exchanged letters back and forth. From being polite at the beginning, to being quarrelsome at the end, Long Feihu immediately stopped paying attention to Thunder Blade.
When Lei Ren's last letter only gave him the three words "We'll see", Long Feihu threw the letter away and said to the lieutenants on his left and right: "Humph, Lei Ren thought he was in Nanzhou."
?Think he is the boss? Xihuang, I am the boss! I beg him? Dream!"
…
In addition to sending letters to Long Feihu, Lei Ren also sent letters to Jiang Baitao and Du Zhenyang.
However, it is conceivable that if Long Feihu did not come, Jiang Baitao and Du Zhenyang would naturally give various reasons for not coming.
The remaining Zhang Decai agreed to come, but after gathering his troops, he only walked more than twenty miles a day from Shatong City where he was stationed, which was slower than a snail!
Lei Ren knew that this guy was just waiting to see the situation. In fact, this guy was not planning to join the war. He was just leading his troops to show off. However, he did not have the confidence of Long Feihu and the other three. After all, he was a local army.
Therefore, this is what it means to lead troops on a "tour".
Among the five troops, only He Yang was willing to bring troops to help immediately.
However, when he was about to lead the troops, he received the second order from Lei Ren: "Pretend that you don't want to cooperate. There is no need to lead the troops. Be ready to attack Huangsha Town at any time."
Only the two of them, Han Ziqian, Chen Chao, and Ni Qiang knew about He Yang's willingness to follow Lei Ren. The others did not know about it, and they thought that He Yang, like them, was unwilling to cooperate with Lei Ren.
In fact, Lei Ren is very clear about the attitude of these people. He is just going through the motions on the surface.
At the moment, Lei Ren asked Han Ziqian to continue pretending to attack Shitong City. On the other hand, he quietly mobilized his troops and turned into civilians to look for opportunities near Huangsha Town.
Two months passed by, and Thunder Blade's training was further consolidated after he entered the Great Immortal position, and four giant dragons of true energy could be summoned by him at will.
During this period of time, Huangsha Town saw that Lei Ren had been attacking Shitong City, and thought that Lei Ren would not attack them for the time being, so they relaxed their vigilance and allowed the people to enter and exit the city gate.
Although Huangsha Town's rules for entering and exiting the city were strictly restricted, Lei Ren led Ni Qiang and twenty Lei Family Army elites, divided into five groups, and still managed to sneak into Huangsha Town.
Two and a half months later, Han Ziqian suddenly withdrew his troops from Shitong City, and Chen Chao's newly recruited 15,000 soldiers also joined Han Ziqian's troops to serve as logistics.
Han Ziqian led all the Lei Family Army and new recruits, a total of 65,000 people, and together with Chen Chao, they arrived outside Huangsha Town with lightning speed.
When the enemy learned that Han Ziqian only had 65,000 men, they didn't take it seriously at all. The guard even used his true energy to send messages to Han Ziqian on the tower, mocking him: "Han Ziqian, aren't you a civilian god of war? You have the ability to attack us."
!Come on, grandpa is waiting for you!"
Not only were they the enemy garrison generals, but when Long Feihu, Jiang Baitao and Du Zhenyang got Han Ziqian to lead 65,000 people to attack Huangsha Town, the expressions of the three of them were almost the same. They sneered: "Oh, I don't know where the thunder blade is hiding."
With this strength, if he can capture Huangsha Town, I will fry fish for him with my palm!"
Han Ziqian led his troops to the gates of Huangsha Town, but they surrounded them but refused to attack.
There were several generals in the enemy army who almost led their troops to "clean up" the civilian God of War, and became famous if they were not prohibited from going to battle by military orders.
The early morning of the third day when Han Ziqian surrounded Huangsha Town.
On this day, the sky had just turned white, and suddenly, a fire broke out in Huangsha Town. The yellow light shot into the sky and could be seen dozens of miles away.
Then, Han Ziqian and Chen Chao were outside the city when they felt the Qi in Huangsha Town fluctuating rapidly, and the sound of roaring monsters could be heard.
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Chen Chao said: "Shuai Lei has sent a signal, General Han, let's take action!"
