Chapter 1,134 Confrontation between North and South
At this time, in Huzhou City, the governor Yang Xiong listened to the war report of the three counties of Huyang, Heyuan, and Shanyang from the chief historian Zou Jing. He couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect that a move of Xianqi would give us such a big surprise!"
Zou Jing also smiled and said: "This Ling Feng has indeed given us a surprise. If we let him continue to fight like this, it will not be difficult to conquer the eight counties of Huzhou. Therefore, Sun Xia will not sit still and wait for death! At this time, it is us who defeat the enemy.
At this time, once Sun Xia divides his troops to attack the three counties of Huyang, we can take the opportunity to send troops to defeat the bandit army!"
Yang Xiong nodded. After this period of fierce fighting, he had figured out the details of the Yellow Turban Army. Although the opponent had many master-level generals, there was only one grand master-level strongman, Sun Xia. However, there were three grand masters in Huzhou City.
, the chance of victory is greater. If the enemy army did not number up to 200,000, he would have left the city to defeat the enemy.
At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army camp was outside Huzhou City.
Sun Xia said: "Now that Heyuan County and Shanyang County have fallen, the situation in northern Huzhou has worsened. If they capture Tanghe County again, they will be connected with Huzhou City, and the threat will greatly increase. General Feng, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Although Feng Shi was defeated before and only managed to escape with more than 10,000 men, this was only because Jiang Wei did not listen to the plan, so he did not blame him, but instead regarded him more highly.
Feng Shi pondered for a moment and said: "This is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy! Now, if our army divides its forces to attack the three counties of Huyang, the enemy forces in the city will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack. Our army can send 50,000 people to pretend to attack the three counties of Huyang, but secretly
Ambush at the North City Gate, wait until they come out of the city to fight with our army, then take the opportunity to break through the North City Gate, and then attack from both sides, defeating the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Sun Xia smiled and said: "General Feng's plan is exactly what I want. I just want to hide an army of 50,000 people. I'm afraid it won't be easy, so I'll leave it to General Feng!"
Feng Shi nodded and said: "It's just that there are three powerful masters in Huzhou, so we may not be able to withstand the opponent's strong attack by then!"
The success of any strategy does not depend on its subtlety, but on the details. If you overestimate your own strength, the so-called clever plan will only become a joke.
Sun Xia smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Feng, I am confident!"
After a while, Feng Shi left with 50,000 soldiers and horses from the east side of Huzhou City and headed north.
Not long after, the prefect Yang Xiong got the news and said with a smile: "It's just as Zijing expected!"
Zou Jing said: "However, we still need to observe and see where these 50,000 troops have gone. Be careful of them attacking the east and north city gates."
As for detecting traces, it is not difficult. There are special monitors at the six doors who can place their spiritual thoughts in the body of the falcon and use the falcon's eyesight to monitor remotely.
Not long after, Six Gates came to report, confirming that 50,000 troops had entered Tanghe County and were heading north.
Therefore, Yang Xiong led 30,000 troops and marched out from the south city gate to fight the Yellow Turban bandits.
Sun Xia led 150,000 troops and fought fiercely with Yang Xiong.
Although Yang Xiong's 30,000 elite soldiers were much better than the average quality of the Yellow Turban Army, they were outnumbered and quickly fell into a disadvantage.
At this time, Yang Xiong led the six sect generals to arrest the leader alone, and the three powerful masters of the Qinghu Sect, Fan Qingyan, suddenly attacked Sun Xia.
Midway, Fan Qingyan suddenly flashed and stabbed Ma Duxing with his sword.
However, Ma Duxing seemed to be on guard, and suddenly slashed with his sword, knocking Fan Qingyan back.
Yang Xiong also looked shocked and angry. He did not expect that Fan Qingyan would join the Yellow Turban Army, which had no future. He immediately said coldly: "What benefits did Taiping Dao promise you?"
Fan Qingyan said calmly: "A heavenly and human-level water-based technique!"
At this stage of his cultivation, his skills have reached the level of the ancestor of the Qinghu Sect. However, there is no way forward. What he needs most is a book of heaven-level skills. And the imperial court is not interested in the top-level skills of the heaven-human level.
Management is absolutely strict, and unless you become a slave, you can't teach it easily. Therefore, he chose to join Taiping Dao.
Immediately, the four great masters fought in pairs.
Fan Qingyan and Ma Duxing were evenly matched.
When Yang Xiong faced off against Sun Xia, he quickly fell into a disadvantage. Although the two had similar cultivation levels and were close to the middle stage of Grand Master, there were tens of thousands of people behind Sun Xia who kept shouting slogans: "
Heaven is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"
A stream of yellow aura was continuously injected into Sun Xia's body, causing his skill to increase steadily. Yang Xiong was naturally no match.
A moment later, Yang Xiong was seriously injured by Sun Xia's blow. Ma Duxing was surrounded by the two men and was no match for him, so he and Yang Xiong evacuated quickly.
At this point, the Huzhou soldiers were defeated, and only more than 2,000 of the 30,000 elite soldiers escaped.
However, before Yang Xiong could take a breath, news came again that the North City Gate had fallen. Knowing that the situation was over, the two had no choice but to flee from the West City Gate with thousands of remaining soldiers, and then headed north.
In the afternoon, Ling Feng led his army to break through Tanghe County, but when he learned that Huzhou City had fallen, he couldn't help but feel speechless. Yang Xiong was such a waste, he lost Huzhou City at this time. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for both sides to work together to defeat the Yellow Turban. But now, Huzhou
Once the city is broken, once the Yellow Turbans have digested the potential of Huzhou City, their military strength will increase dramatically, and the difficulty of breaking the Yellow Turbans will increase tenfold.
However, now that things have happened, if he is unwilling to reveal his strength, it will be difficult to break through Huzhou City in a short time. Therefore, he summoned the wealthy families of Tanghe County and asked them to contribute, recruiting three thousand soldiers, and the five thousand Yellow Turban prisoners
Formed eight thousand county soldiers to conquer more than a dozen counties in Tanghe County.
At this time, Yang Xiong and Ma Duxing's thousands of remnant soldiers fled back to Shanyang County. They immediately gathered 5,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses from the county, and quickly summoned thousands of soldiers and horses who had just conquered the counties, and gathered another 15,000 soldiers and horses.
, drilled day and night. Moreover, he issued an order for the soldiers from Huyang and Heyuan counties to move closer to him.
As for Ling Feng, he ordered him to station in Tanghe County to resist the Yellow Turban thieves.
Tanghe County, County Sheriff's Mansion, Ling Feng received the order and couldn't help but sneer. His contribution was too great, but Yang Xiong even lost the city of Huzhou. If the news reached the emperor, how could he do well in this comparison?
Eat the fruit. So, he planned to kill Ling Feng with a borrowed knife, and then take all the credit on himself. He didn't want to take this step at first, but since he had done it, he didn't have to hold back.
Immediately, Ling Feng ordered Wu Wei to pretend to be him and entertain the aristocratic families in the county. However, he used Five Elements Escape to leave Tanghe County and go to Shanyang County.
An hour later, Huzhou governor Yang Xiong was assassinated!
Since there was no trace, the death of Yang Xiong was ultimately recorded on Fan Qingyan.
At this time, Huzhou lost its owner, and most of the prefects of the counties had either died or surrendered. There was no one who could take on the big responsibility. Therefore, the leader of the six gates went alone to seek instructions from the superiors, and appointed Ling Feng as the temporary governor of Huzhou.
After receiving the order, Ling Feng ordered soldiers and horses from all counties to gather in Tanghe County for reorganization and training. He obtained 20,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary troops to actively prepare for war. In addition, he also stockpiled food for an army of 50,000 for half a year.
Sun Xia, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he was digesting Huzhou's foundation, frantically expanding his troops, raising his strength to 400,000, and constantly brainwashing the soldiers with the teachings of Taiping Dao.
