After Zhang Siting briefly freshened up and put on clean clothes and came out, many military doctors and city doctors were already in the lobby. When people took Zhang Siting's pulse, they found no signs of poisoning, but his pulse condition was
It's very confusing. As for the specific reasons, the military doctors and doctors can't explain it clearly, and they all say it's weird.
Zhang Siting has now changed into a pair of clean clothes. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it, but the injuries all over his body are still there, and the thirty army sticks have damaged his muscles and bones. Now every time he moves, his body is in burning pain. The reason why he can walk
He was able to sit still only because he gritted his teeth and endured it. It would be strange if his pulse was not chaotic!
Military doctors and doctors couldn't find out the reason, but Zhang Siting's pulse condition was indeed different from ordinary people. Some doctors self-righteously explained that some highly poisonous poisons are not visible to people after taking them, only the effects of the drug.
The clues can only be seen when the patient is dead, but by then it will be too late to save him. The poison Zhang Siting was exposed to may belong to this type.
When Zhang Siting said this, Li You was half-convinced. Now even military doctors and doctors also said it. Li You couldn't help but believe it. After thanking everyone, he sent them all away. At the same time, his mind was also spinning.
Since Feng Jun asked Zhang Siting to be his internal agent, he couldn't let this opportunity pass by. Why not give him a plan to use it to his advantage?!
Thinking of this, Li You's eyes suddenly brightened up. After all the doctors left, he suddenly asked Zhang Siting: "General Zhang, how many troops do you think are in the Feng Army camp?"
Zhang Siting was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and replied: "At least one hundred thousand people."
Li You nodded thoughtfully, and finally laughed again. He said slowly: "Since Feng Jun asked you to be their internal agent, then you should be their internal agent for once!"
"Ah?" Hearing this, not only Zhang Siting was dumbfounded, but the civil servants and generals in the city who came after hearing the news were also stunned, and they all looked at Li You in confusion.
Li You smiled and said: "General Zhang, follow Feng Jun's plan and open the south gate of Qingyuan for Feng Jun at the ugly hour in two days!"
Plop! Zhang Siting trembled with fright, slipped from the chair, knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said anxiously: "The last general doesn't dare, the last general doesn't dare..."
Before he finished speaking, Li You waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Zhang, don't be nervous, this is what I asked you to do." As he spoke, he straightened his body, looked around everyone, and said: "We are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered.
The only way to attack by force is to be smart! The Feng army thought that if they forced General Zhang to take the poison, General Zhang would work for them sincerely. But how could they have imagined that General Zhang is a patriot of our Ning country and would rather die than surrender! Two days later, our army
We can first set up a heavy ambush in the south of the city. General Zhang opened the city according to the Feng Army's request and lured the Feng Army into the city. As soon as the main force of the Feng Army approached, our ambush troops would fire a volley of arrows, even if the Feng Army was good at getting close.
Fighting, even if you are unprepared, it will be difficult to resist our army's arrow array!"
"What a good plan! Your Excellency, you are so good at making a plan!" When everyone heard this, they were all happy, excited and admired, especially the generals. They were all gearing up, as if they wanted to ambush the Feng army right away. "My Lord,
, the enemy has 100,000 troops, and our army only has 50,000. If we can win this battle, your Majesty will definitely reward us heavily!"
"That's right! Let's show the Central Army who are coming over that the combat power of our soldiers from Hedong is not inferior to that of his Wang Shi!"
Seeing that all the generals were getting angry, Li You asked Zhang Siting with a smile: "General Zhang, what do you think?"
How could Zhang Siting object at this time? If this battle can succeed, he will be the first to achieve success. This kind of good thing that requires no effort, no danger, and can earn credit and fame is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Without even thinking about it, he intervened and said
: "The general is willing to serve you as a dog and a horse, please just give me the order!"
"Okay!" Li You's eyes flashed and he said to the guard beside him: "Bring me the map of the city!"
After a short time, the guard hurriedly handed Qingyuan's map to Li You. The latter laid it out on the table and gave instructions: "Our army can set up ambushes on the walls of the inner and outer cities and wait for the main force of the Feng Army."
Recently, our army immediately closed the gates of the inner city to prevent the Feng army from infiltrating into the city. At the same time, it can trap the Feng army in the narrow area between the inner and outer city. At this time, our soldiers on the inner and outer city walls can take the opportunity to fire arrows, and the Feng army has no chance.
There is no way to retreat, and there is nowhere to avoid it, so it can only become a target for our army!"
"Sir, our army should also deploy trebuchets in the inner city. If the Feng army uses their shields to block arrows, the trebuchets can break the enemy's shield formation!" A Ning army general suggested.
Since the Feng Army adopts a sneak attack strategy, they naturally have to go into battle lightly and are unlikely to carry shields. However, with the assistance of the trebuchet, they can indeed kill the Feng Army to the greatest extent. Li You thought for a while, nodded and responded: "
What you said makes sense. Currently, there are about thirty stone trebuchets in our city, and they can all be deployed here in Nancheng!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Zhang Siting truthfully conveyed Ziying's plan to Li You, who then used Ziying's strategy to pull off a trick and set up a dragnet in the southern city of Qingyuan, waiting for the Feng army to arrive for a sneak attack.
Early that morning, a hundred thousand troops of the Sky Eagle Army arrived at Qingyuan.
One hundred thousand people is a lot, but Qingyuan is a county town. It is the largest, most prosperous and central city in Hedong. One hundred thousand people are still insignificant compared to the huge Qingyuan City, but Ziying is as menacing and powerful as a giant.
, sent an order to his subordinates, set up camp around the city, and surrounded Qingyuan City with company battalions.
Li You and his generals, who had already climbed up the city tower, saw this. People's lungs were about to burst with anger. A mere hundred thousand people actually camped around the city under the county city. This was too disrespectful. Could it be that the other party was just like this?
Are you sure that your own soldiers dare not leave the city to meet the enemy and cannot defeat them one by one?
Although Li You was expressionless, he also felt disapproval in his heart. He thought that Ziying was too ambitious and only used 100,000 people to siege the city. The siege was not strong on any side. He could easily attack any point of the Fengjun company camp and break it easily.
But then he thought about it, and he shook his head secretly. Who is Ziying? He is one of the five commanders of the Feng Army personally appointed by Tang Yin. He knows how to use troops. Doesn't he understand that using 100,000 people to besiege a city is asking for it?
Suffering? There is only one possibility. Ziying did it on purpose, just to anger his side and lure him out of the city to fight!
"Haha!" Li You shrugged and chuckled, turning his head and said to his subordinates: "Without my order, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight against the Feng Army. Anyone who goes out of the city without authorization and disobeys the order will be punished under military law, regardless of victory or defeat.
Severe punishment will not be neglected!”
The generals who were all eager to try were all discouraged after hearing this. They went out to fight in the city. If they lose, they will naturally be punished, but if they win, they will be punished. So who is willing to fight such a battle?! As soon as Li You finished speaking, he heard
The drums sounded loudly in the Fengjun camp, and soon after, the gate of the camp was opened wide, and a group of people came out from inside. The leader was an infantry general. Although he did not ride a horse, his tall and burly figure was not much shorter than the cavalry.
, look at the giant hammer he is holding in his hand. The head of the hammer is as thick as a basin. If it were made of solid iron, this giant hammer would weigh hundreds of kilograms at least, but he is holding it with one hand, as light as nothing.
.
General Feng led two thousand cavalry and rushed directly to the Qingyuan City. He raised his eyes and looked at the people on the city top and shouted loudly: "I am General Zhan Hu of the Feng Kingdom. Who dares to go out of the city to fight with me?"
It turns out that this person is Zhan Hu! Everyone headed by Li You has heard of the name Zhan Hu. In the Feng Kingdom, it is recognized that the most powerful person in Lingwu is Shangguan Yuanrang, and the most fierce and brave person in combat is General Huwei -
- Zhan Hu. When I saw him today, his appearance was simply more terrifying than a tiger.
Li You knew very well that the generals under his command were weak, and letting them go out to fight against Zhan Hu was equivalent to asking them to die. He turned his head and said, "Strictly guard the city. No one is allowed to go out to fight against Zhan Hu!"
"Yes! Sir!"
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Just seeing Zhan Hu's appearance and Zhan Hu's name, none of the generals in Qingyuan City dared to go out to meet the enemy. After shouting twice, he saw that there was silence on the top of the city.
No one answered, and Zhan Hu was even more proud, dragging his giant hammer and wandering back and forth in front of the city in a majestic manner.
The two thousand cavalrymen who came with him were not idle. They helped Zhan Hu fend off the enemy and scolded the formation. They also scolded the enemy and scolded them. They just wanted to provoke the Ning army in the city. But no matter how they shouted or cursed, the Ning army in the city was still
Unmoved, the city gate remained tightly closed, and they cursed for a whole morning. Soldier Feng's throat was almost smoking, but he didn't even scold a single Ning Bing.
At this time, the sound of golden shouts sounded from the rear, and Zhan Hu reluctantly led two thousand cavalry back to the formation. After lunch, Zhan Hu led the people out again and continued to call for formation in front of Qingyuan City. Just like in the morning, the Ning army in Qingyuan City
Still staying behind closed doors without fighting.
At this time, Feng Jun had finished setting up the camp. Li You led his men along the city wall to inspect the company camp where Feng Jun had set up. While looking at Li You, he nodded secretly. Feng Jun's huge company camp only took half a day.
It was immediately completed, but it was extremely solid. It can be seen that the village wall is also very solid. On the surface, there are no flaws at all, and it is impossible to distinguish between the true and false. It is difficult to judge whether the main force of the Feng Army is in the company.
Where in the camp.
When Li You walked around to Nancheng, he suddenly found that another camp had been built behind Feng Jun's company camp, but the distance was too far. Li You could only see an outline, but the specific details were not clear. This is really
It's strange that a large camp was built behind the company camp. What is Ziying's purpose? If it is to deal with his own side, then this camp should also be placed in front of the company camp!
Even Li You couldn't figure out what Ziying was going to do, and the generals below had no clue. Someone muttered suspiciously: "Behind the Feng Army, there are 100,000 elite Feng Army soldiers led by the Wind King Tang Yin.
Did Ziying help Tang Yin set up camp first to please his master?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, but Li You found it funny. Ziying used 100,000 people to set up camp around the city. No matter how you look at it, it seems that the manpower is insufficient, and the camp behind the company camp,
Although it is not small, if a hundred thousand troops headed by Tang Yin are stationed, it will feel too cramped no matter how you look at it.
Li You couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Ziying was selling in the gourd, so Li You simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, as long as he strictly guarded the city and refused to fight behind closed doors, he didn't have to be afraid no matter how many tricks Ziying tried.
Since the Tianying Army arrived at Qingyuan City, they did not launch a forceful attack. They only sent Zhanhu out of the camp to fight. However, the Ning Army made up its mind not to leave the city to fight. The two sides were in peace, and the whole day passed like this. The next day
, Feng Jun didn't even bother to fight. The army stayed in the company camp and was in a stalemate with Ning Jun in Qingyuan City.
If both sides continue to fight, it will naturally be beneficial to the Ning Army. After all, the Ning State Central Army with 500,000 troops is already on its way to Hedong. If it takes one more day, the reinforcements will have to travel an extra distance, and the defenders in the city will be more confident.
