"Report! Commander, an enemy team is approaching our camp!"
This was already the third report tonight. Li Yan was so angry when he heard the news that he yawned and strode out of the camp. In fact, he did not need to report it to his subordinates. He also heard the sound of drums in the distance that shook the night sky.
and the sound of horns, the real intention of Su Yuchi's side was to disturb their rest, not to attack the camp at all. Otherwise, how could they make a big fuss? Once their side made any move, they would immediately retreat to Yunyang City.
The Xichuan army had just arrived outside Yunyang City. They wanted the soldiers to recharge their batteries and have a good sleep before launching an attack tomorrow morning, but now it seems that the other side did not give them a chance to rest at all, and there was no nuisance throughout the night.
Have paused.
Lieutenant General Liang Jincheng quickly came to Li Yan, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Commander, don't worry, the number of troops dispatched from Yunyang is only two thousand people at most. If our vanguard battalion makes a slight move, they will immediately return to the city. They
The purpose is not to attack our camp, but simply to use the sound of drums and horns to disturb our rest."
Li Yan couldn't help but cursed: "Despicable and shameless, he can only use such petty tricks. This Su Yuchi is also deceiving the world and stealing his reputation. Do you dare to fight me openly?"
Liang Jincheng was about to speak, but he heard the sound of birdsong in the night sky. Everyone was attracted by the sound of birdsong in the sky. At the same time, they looked up. Because of the darkness, they could not see clearly, so they could only see.
A large cloud of clouds in the sky was moving over the camp.
Li Yan pointed in the air and said, "What is that?"
A general nearby said: "It seems to be a flock of birds..." Before he could finish his words, he saw the dark clouds formed by the flock of birds in the sky falling straight down, pressing down on their heads.
This is not the first time that Yan Hucheng has seen this kind of attack by driving birds. Previously, their grain and grass were burned in Honggu County because someone drove the birds to set the grain camp on fire. When he heard the birdsong in the air,
Sound, already expected what happened.
Yan Hucheng said loudly: "Extinguish the camp fire, the archers are ready, shoot!"
Rows of arrows shot into the air as densely as rain. Countless birds among the flock of birds swooped down were hit by arrows, and they screamed one after another.
However, not all camps have Yan Hucheng's experience and decisiveness. Some camps did not extinguish the bonfires in time. Birds flew towards the bonfires, ignited themselves, and then rushed towards the camps. Many camps have already burned.
There was a commotion in the camp. Some people were busy shooting birds, others were busy putting out fires, and some soldiers were set on fire and were rolling on the ground screaming.
The number of flying birds was not too many. Xichuan quickly controlled the situation. The burning tents had been extinguished and the fire did not expand. The archers shot down the remaining flying birds. Coach Li Yan also joined the battle.
In the midst of it, he raised his sword and fiercely chopped a crow that was rushing towards him into two pieces, and said viciously: "How can you reach the hall of elegance with a small skill?"
The sound of horns in the distance began to approach them again.
Liang Jincheng cautiously said to Li Yan: "Commander, are they causing trouble again?"
Li Yan said angrily: "Why do you care what they do if you know it's a nuisance? Hold on to the camp, wait until dawn, assemble the team, and attack Yunyang City in one fell swoop. Don't pay attention to their indecent actions."
At this time, Yan Hucheng from the Pioneer Battalion also came to ask for a meeting. Seeing Li Yan's face, he already knew that Li Yan was in a bad mood, but Yan Hucheng still said bravely: "Commander, I think there must be something fishy about what happened tonight.
"
Li Yan said angrily: "You still need to tell me?"
Yan Hucheng was scolded by him in front of everyone, and the expression on his face was inevitably embarrassing. He swallowed his anger and said: "Su Yuchi's purpose of disturbing us is to interfere with our rest, and to tire our soldiers. There must be a big secret behind this."
Zhao, according to the general's opinion, we should not be in a hurry to attack Yunyang City. We should first withdraw the large forces and leave some troops to deal with them to find out Su Yuchi's plan before launching a full-scale attack."
Li Yan was extremely disdainful. He glanced at Yan Hucheng and said, "If we retreat before the war starts, wouldn't it hurt morale? This is a taboo in military use. Yan Hucheng, have you ever read the book of war?"
Yan Hucheng's face turned red when he asked.
Li Yan said loudly: "Su Yuchi has no chance of defeating us at all. The reason why he uses these shady methods to interfere with our army's rest is precisely because he is afraid. Tomorrow at midnight, we will gather a hundred thousand troops to attack the city. Xingzhou
An army of 50,000 attacked its north gate from behind, conquering Yunyang in one fell swoop! Soldiers are extremely fast. The longer we delay here, the more interference we will receive from the enemy. Taking advantage of the momentum of our brothers, we will attack them as soon as possible.
If Yunyang is won, do the brothers have confidence?"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
Yan Hucheng secretly sighed in his heart. Li Yan had a very high opinion of himself, thinking that he would have the power to crush the opponent if he had several times the force of the opponent. However, in many cases, it was not the number of troops that determined victory or defeat. After this night of interference,
, our own soldiers have been tortured a lot and are by no means in the best condition. Under such circumstances, we should retreat in order to advance, adjust the status of the army first, and send a part of the army to test Yunyang's true strength. Wait until Su Yuchi
After the trick was done, it was the perfect time to take action against him. However, Li Yan said that soldiers are valuable and quick. He wanted to directly lead an army of 100,000 to crush the opponent and break through Yunyang City in one fell swoop. This was obviously too hasty.
Su Yuchi stood quietly on the West Arrow Tower, like a bronze sculpture. The increasing cold wind picked up his faded reddish-brown cloak, making him look like a fluttering flag flying over Yunyang City.
The big flag.
Deputy General Xu Guangdi completed the nuisance mission and led two thousand troops back safely. Xu Guangdi came to Su Yuchi to report the latest situation.
After hearing this, Su Yuchi smiled and said, "They must not sleep well tonight."
At this time, Yuan Qingshan also quickly came to the front, clasped his fists and said: "General, there is no movement in the opponent's camp."
Su Yuchi nodded and said: "Since he refuses to leave, he is trying to hold back all his strength to attack us? This Li Yan really doesn't know how to advance or retreat."
The two young generals looked at Su Yuchi. Xu Guangdi said: "General, will Li Yan definitely attack the city tomorrow?"
Su Yuchi said: "We must attack the city. Li Yan is quite conceited. He claims to be a victorious general, but he has never fought any big battles. Naturally, he has never suffered any defeats. How can a man who has never been defeated be of much use?"
He turned to Yuan Qingshan and said, "What's going on in Xingzhou?"
Yuan Qingshan said: "There is no movement from Xingzhou, and even the bonfires have been extinguished."
Su Yuchi nodded and said: "Guo Guangbi is quite capable. It is no accident that he has been able to occupy Xingzhou for so many years. Don't worry about him for the time being. If I am not wrong, Xichuan will come to attack the city early tomorrow morning. We will follow the instructions
According to the plan, as long as the Xichuan side's enthusiasm is severely weakened, the Xingzhou side will naturally retreat." He paused and said in a low voice: "In half an hour, we will go out of the city to fight."
The interference continued, and Li Yan couldn't bear it anymore. Before dawn, he began to assemble the army. With Yan Hucheng's vanguard battalion at the forefront, a hundred thousand troops advanced towards Yunyang City in a mighty manner.
When dawn came, Li Yan's army had already advanced to less than five miles away from Yunyang. They could already see the opponent's army arrayed outside Yunyang City, with flags fluttering, armor bright, and the sharp edges of swords, guns, swords and halberds shining in the rising sun.
The golden light shone under the reflection.
Li Yan did not expect that Su Yuchi would prepare a battle formation. He would never do that. The enemy is strong and we are weak. There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. It is absolutely stupid to choose to go out of the city to fight under such circumstances. Li Yan's lips curled up.
With a hint of a sinister smile, he seemed to see the army crushing the opponent's army like a mammoth. Vice General Liang Jincheng came to him and reported the latest military information: "Commander, Su Yuchi personally led 20,000 people to form an array outside the city. Look,
You are here to prepare for a decisive battle with us!"
Li Yan laughed and said: "You are simply overestimating your capabilities! Send the order, stabilize the formation, rest on the spot, and just wait for the arrival of Chenshi to launch an attack with Xingzhou at the same time." He said to Liang Jincheng: "Go and tell Yan Hu
Success, let him lead the vanguard battalion and be ready for the first battle at any time!"
Su Yuchi looked at the enemy camp quietly. When the battle came, he became extremely calm. Only veterans who have experienced many battles can have such a calm mentality and rock-solid will. He made a gesture, and the herald beside him waved his small
Flags were raised on the city tower, and a herald responded. Two hundred sky-shattering crossbows had been deployed on the city wall. Although the enemy army had already entered the shooting range, it was only a part of it. It had to wait until the opponent's entire army pressed forward to activate it.
Able to achieve maximum killing effect.
Su Yuchi said to Xu Guangdi: "Guangdi, go and challenge! Don't be reluctant to fight! You must ensure your own safety!"
"yes!"
Hearing that Su Yuchi's side actually sent people to call for battle, Li Yan felt relieved. It seemed that the other side had no clever tricks. There was nothing to be afraid of in a head-on confrontation. He sent the order and asked Yan Hucheng to come out to fight.
Accompanied by the powerful sound of drums, a fierce general rushed out from the Xichuan army. He had a black helmet and black armor, and a black horse on his hip. He held an iron snake spear in one hand, as thick as a child's arm, and his whole body was pitch black.
Like ink, the long tassel on the spearhead is not the usual red, but as pale as snow. This person is Yan Hucheng.
As a pioneer in Xichuan, he was naturally responsible for taking the lead in raiding the formation.
Xu Guangdi was holding the Yan Ling Dao and was calling for formation in the field, but when he saw Yan Hucheng flying towards him like a wisp of black smoke, he was not willing to be outdone, urged the bay red horse under his crotch, raised the Yan Ling Dao and rushed forward.
Both camps beat drums and cheered, trying their best to overwhelm the other in terms of momentum.
The two generals were in a fight in an instant. Xu Guangdi swung his Yanling knife and slashed at Yan Hucheng's head. He wanted to chop off the head of the opponent's vanguard with one blow, severely defeating the spirit of the Xichuan soldiers and giving Yunyang a good start.
