After this battle, Zhao Guo will probably be more vigilant, and his arrogance will soon be suppressed. It will not be easy to win so easily again.
"General Guo, King Zhao has sent winger general Qing Feng with 100,000 soldiers to go straight to Youzhou City." A cavalryman came to report.
Guo Nian frowned: "What was supposed to come finally came."
"General, let me go to meet the enemy." Chen Mo stood up.
Chen Mo and Liu Han were both Guo Nian's right and left-hand men, and they were both good at leading troops. However, Chen Mo was good at arranging troops, while Liu Han was good at fighting tough battles. They both attacked and defended, showing their pride.
"Okay." Guo Nian nodded and said, "General Chen, I will give you 30,000 elite soldiers. You must block the enemy in Shili Town."
"Yes!" Chen Mo nodded.
Guo Nian ordered his troops again: "Liu Han."
"The final general is here." Liu Han came out.
"I can't give you a reward for winning the first battle. It was a sneak attack. This time I will give you another task. If you can complete it, I will reward you with a thousand pieces of gold." Guo Nian said.
"Hehe!" Liu Han chuckled and said: "I don't need rewards, I just want to go to the battlefield. As a man, I don't want to go to the battlefield. I'm sorry for the guy peeing in his crotch."
"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter,
Liu Han is indeed a tool born for war.
Liu Han is naturally fond of fighting, and now that the war between the two countries has broken out, Liu Han is naturally unwilling to be outdone.
"This time Qing Feng led people straight to Youzhou City. I asked Chen Mo to defend Shili Town." Guo Nian looked at Liu Han seriously and said: "Next, it depends on your ability, General Liu. Can you
Whether we can defeat Qing Feng's 100,000-strong army depends entirely on you two."
"General, give me thirty thousand, no, twenty thousand elite soldiers is enough." Liu Han said seriously.
"I'll give you fifty thousand." Guo Nian raised his eyebrows and said, "Fifty thousand elite soldiers are at your disposal. Shili Town is the entry point for Youzhou City. If you can hold it, I don't worry. If you can't, Youzhou City
It’s dangerous.”
Liu Han sneered and said: "If we can't defeat Qing Feng's 100,000 soldiers, I will come to see you."
"Okay!" Guo Nian nodded.
Shili Town is a small town after Baima Town.
The terrain of Baima Town is vast, and Guo Nian knew that he would not be able to defend it with his own troops. Moreover, in the plain area, he had no advantage in numbers. If he fought with the opponent, he would definitely suffer.
But Shili Town is different.
Shili Town is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains and ravines, making it easy to hide. The more than 100,000 soldiers he trained are good at this kind of jungle fighting, and even better at hiding in the jungle.
Zhao's army is not born with this ability, so fighting in such a place will inevitably cause Zhao's army to suffer.
Using one's own strengths to overcome another's weaknesses is the highest military philosophy.
Shili Town.
Qingfeng's 100,000 elites slowly arrived ten days later.
In order to prevent the same mistakes from happening again, this time, Qingfeng established military discipline. Absolutely no one would dare to desert. Drinking was even more out of the question.
Shili Town is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
With Chen Mo, a veteran, Qing Feng felt a headache.
Although Chen Mo only had 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, it was extremely difficult to conquer Shili Town.
Qing Feng did not rush forward in a hurry. Instead, he asked a hundred thousand troops to camp outside Shili Town to calm down their morale first. After ten days of long journey, the soldiers were extremely tired.
"General, when will we attack the city?" asked the young general on the side.
"No rush." Qing Feng waved his hand and said: "Although Shili Town is just a small town, the terrain is difficult and dangerous, and there is only one road that can pass through. Therefore, you must not take risks easily."
"Then how to attack?" the young general asked.
"Wait." Qing Feng smiled calmly.
"Wait?" Everyone was confused.
"Yes!" Qing Feng smiled confidently and said: "Wait for the opportunity, the time is not ripe yet. Based on my understanding of Chen Mo, his defense is not easy to break. So, the only thing we can do is to wait."
Waiting is a very difficult thing.
Obviously knowing that the opponent only has 30,000 soldiers guarding the city, it is impossible to stop 100,000 elite soldiers.
Perhaps, with just one charge, the opponent can be easily destroyed.
However, I still have to wait here for the opportunity. It is really annoying.
Qing Feng naturally has his own ideas. What he needs to wait for is not the opportunity, but the weather. As long as the southeast wind comes, he can use the southeast wind to attack the city.
The so-called siege actually means attacking the city with sky lanterns.
This is one of Qing Feng's usual tricks, and it works repeatedly.
The sky lantern rises with the wind and can be blown into Shili Town with the southeast wind. An oil pot can be hung below the sky lantern, and the oil pot is filled with lamp oil. Once the lamp oil of the sky lantern itself is burned out, it will fall to the ground, and the oil will burn out.
The lamp oil in the pot will spill on the ground, which will cause a fire. It would be even more interesting if the oil lamp accidentally falls on the roof or even in the enemy's tent.
At that time, you can easily take down the opponent without even having to fight with your own soldiers.
Thinking of this, Qing Feng couldn't help but smile, a confident smile.
At this time, two troops of tens of thousands of people were walking through the mountains and forests. They crossed the jungle, climbed over the mountains, passed through the dangers, and came around behind Qing Feng. This is Liu Han's army. This army of 50,000 has already
He successfully lurked behind Qing Feng, forming a pincer attack with Chen Mo.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
This made Qing Feng's subordinates very curious.
"General, we have been here for five days." A young general said slightly dissatisfied: "If we keep waiting like this, when will it be over?"
"Don't worry." Qing Feng chuckled and said, "It should be soon."
Qing Feng stood outside the camp, looking up at the dark sky.
It is late spring and southeasterly winds come easily.
What he needs is a southeasterly wind. Although soldiers are expensive and fast, the problem is that it is not easy to defeat others without fighting.
At this time, a fallen leaf slipped from the tree and went towards the green maple.
Qing Feng raised his head and glanced up, then raised his hand to take the leaf. He took a deep breath and said, "The opportunity we have been waiting for has finally arrived, here comes someone."
"The general is here." The young general stood up hastily.
"Liu Kun, please immediately send someone to prepare sky lanterns." Qing Feng squinted his eyes and said, "Ten thousand sky lanterns are enough for you to drink a pot."
Ten thousand sky lanterns and nearly five thousand kilograms of lamp oil.
This five thousand kilograms of lamp oil can burn a huge city into ruins.
Besides, it’s just a ten-mile town?
Qing Feng seemed to have seen the other party exiting Shili Town and kneeling down to beg for mercy. Thinking of this, the smile on Qing Feng's face became even thicker.
The lookout in Shili Town.
Chen Mo stood on it, watching the other party's movements from a distance.
