Chapter 533: The soldiers are powerful and fast, besieged on all sides
When Ling Feng finished explaining his strategy, everyone showed disdain in their eyes. Blackwater City's walls are extremely high and its defenses are extremely strong. There are still 100,000 soldiers defending the city. It can't be easily conquered in three days.
Governor Zhou Yanyu was also quite disappointed with Ling Feng's strategy. To capture Blackwater City by force within three days, the loss of 300,000 troops must be heavy. It was really a foolish move.
Nangong Yanyu's expression was quite amusing.
The general also immediately said: "Then what is Master Yilin's strategy to break the city in three days?"
Ling Feng smiled calmly and said: "Of course we will attack from all sides and attack from the front!"
The general immediately said: "Although Mr. Lin is a second-grade Qinglong Guard, he is probably used to fighting in the rivers and lakes and does not understand the battlefield. The art of war has it that the enemy must be surrounded. Is there any reason to attack from all sides?"
Ling Feng smiled disdainfully and said: "The way to use troops is nothing more than the complementation of surprise and rightness. Winning by surprise is only used when the strength is not much different. If the strength is far superior to the opponent, naturally you only need to be upright and crush it with the general situation. Could it be that you and
What kind of tricks are there for children to compete in martial arts? With the strength of my great Chu, if I can't even take down a Blackwater City, how can I defeat the seven tribes of the Southern Barbarians?"
The whole hall suddenly fell silent. Yes, if they couldn't even capture Blackwater City, how could they defeat the Seven Southern Barbarians?
At this time, Nangong Yanyu said with a smile: "I think Brother Lin's idea is good. Soldiers are valuable and quick. The situation in the grassland is now turbulent and may change at any time. Therefore, we must pacify the Southern Barbarians as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yanyu thought for a while, if he could capture Blackwater City in three days, Kyoto would definitely be excited, and the Holy Emperor would definitely reward him. It seemed to be a good choice. Therefore, he asked: "Brother Lin, do you have any specific ideas?"
Ling Feng said: "As Brother Nangong said, soldiers are valuable and quick! As soon as the Red Flame Army clears the way to Blackwater City, attack immediately. I am willing to be responsible for dealing with a strong martial artist! The rest is up to Brother Zhou.
"
Only when Zhou Yanyu heard Ling Feng's affirmative tone did he realize that he had underestimated this cheap guy. He remembered Ling Feng's record of killing the Golden Wolf King. It was enough to resist a strong martial artist. Therefore, his confidence increased a lot and he smiled.
: "Okay, just as brother Yilin said!"
…
At this time, Zhou Yulang was leading the three thousand Red Flame Army to clear the way ahead.
The road from the Blackpool tribe to Heishui City is relatively narrow, overgrown with weeds, and the mountain road is rugged, making it unsuitable for large armies to advance. It is easy for enemies to ambush from both sides of the road. The main task of Zhou Yulang, the pioneer, is not to fight, but to open a road.
After a while, Zhou Yanyu sent another five thousand soldiers to help open the way.
With the assistance of five thousand soldiers, the speed of road opening was greatly increased. By Shenshi, the narrow mountain road of more than 30 miles quickly turned into a broad avenue.
Ling Feng followed the army out of camp and set off for Blackwater City.
Half an hour later, we were five miles outside Blackwater City.
The Chu army stopped and began to rest.
At this time, Zhou Yanyu said: "Brother Nangong, you lead 50,000 troops to take a detour to the east of Heishui City to attack!"
Nangong Yanyu smiled and clasped his fists: "Nangong takes the order!"
Immediately, Zhou Yanyu looked at Ling Feng and said: "Brother Lin, you also lead 50,000 troops to attack in the west of Blackwater City."
Ling Feng cupped his fists and said, "Little brother, take the order!"
Then, the two men each took 50,000 troops and left.
Han Yue was a member of the Five Dragon Guards, so she naturally followed Ling Feng to the west.
After the two of them left, a young man in purple clothes with a sword on his waist flashed and appeared next to Zhou Yanyu.
The young man in purple had a handsome face, but his expression was extremely arrogant. He said coldly: "Leave the south to me!"
Zhou Yanyu is not angry, or he cannot be angry. This young man in purple is called Fan Yang. He is a disciple of the Holy Fire Cult, one of the seven sects, and he is a strong man of the younger generation of Wuzong. He has already caught up with the elders of the sect at a young age.
, naturally has an arrogant temperament. And this person also has the capital to be proud. Although he is only in the early stage of Wuzong, he has a strong foundation, the quality of his true energy and martial spirit are top-grade, and his combat power is extremely powerful, not inferior to some masters in the middle stage of Wuzong. Naturally, he is not
Will take him seriously.
For this southern expedition, the imperial court reached some agreements with the Holy Fire Sect, and the Nangong Family and Zhennan Palace also sent strong men from the Wuzong to help. However, although these strong men from the Wuzong came to the army, they all
It is completely autonomous and not subject to any restrictions.
Therefore, he thought about it, smiled, and said: "In that case, I will send 50,000 elite troops to assist Brother Fan."
"Then it's hard work!"
Fan Yang said calmly, and then led his troops to take a detour to the south of Blackwater City.
…
More than a quarter of an hour later, in Blackwater City, in the hall of the city lord's mansion.
A Blackwater Guard hurriedly came to report and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Chu army has arrived outside the North City Gate!"
Chen Wang Chen Yongsheng's expression changed and he said: "The troops came to the city so quickly. Do you two uncles have any strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Next to him, the great elder Chen Miao also looked stunned. According to his estimation, the Dachu army could not come so fast. After all, this battle did not end so quickly, and the other party could not be so impatient. Could it be that he was preparing to attack by force, or was there some conspiracy? He
If you don't understand, you don't know how to respond, so you remain silent.
The second elder, Chen Heishui, said indifferently: "Clan leader, don't worry, our Heishui City is strong. Even if Dachu has an army of 300,000, we won't get any favors."
Chen Yongsheng's expression improved slightly, and he sighed: "I hope so, but there are so many masters in Dachu, and it is a bit difficult to persist until the other six departments are rescued."
At this time, Chen Miao asked: "Yongsheng, is there any news from Yongliang? Will the Barbarian King agree to send troops to rescue?"
"No news!"
Chen Yongsheng shook his head and continued: "Originally, we agreed that no matter what the outcome, we would report back in time, but now there is no news at all. It seems that he is under house arrest by the Mengshan Department."
When Chen Miao heard this, he suddenly looked serious and said: "In this way, it is difficult to say when the other six reinforcements will arrive. Why don't we abandon Blackwater City and go to the depths of the Southern Wasteland to lay a foundation again and seek stability!"
Chen Yongsheng shook his head and said: "Blackwater City is our foundation. If we move rashly, the loss of population and property is unpredictable. Moreover, we have reached the depths of the Southern Wilderness. If we want to build the city again, we have to work hard for hundreds of years. Without city defense, the barbaric wilderness
It is difficult to defend against the monsters in the depths and find it difficult to gain a foothold! Therefore, Blackwater City cannot be abandoned unless it is absolutely necessary."
Immediately, the three people began to discuss specific strategies to defend against the enemy.
Not long after, another Blackwater guard came to report: "Your Majesty, a large number of Chu troops have also appeared on the east and west city walls, and they also brought siege equipment. They seem to be preparing to forcibly attack the city!"
Chen Heishui laughed and said: "Surrounding three towers and one tower is the same old routine. It seems that Zhou Yanyu is no more than that!"
Chen Yongsheng also put down his worries. Since the other party had made this plan, it was obvious that he was unwilling to attack by force and increase casualties. That meant that he wanted to delay for three days, which was enough. When reinforcements from the other six departments arrived, the crisis would naturally be resolved.
Chen Miao was hesitant, always feeling that something was wrong.
