Top people never need to be taught by others to do things, when Chang Yu transferred troops from Anqing to help in the war, Li Yan knew that it was time to put pressure on this side, he knew the ability of the little eunuch, and led an army of 20,000 to fight Bai Wang on the other side of the river, and even had to transfer help from him, needless to say that he encountered a tricky situation.

Therefore, he wants to put pressure on An Qing, maybe he can relieve the pressure on Chang Yu's side.

Since Hao Shaoqi and Ji Jike went north to help, he summoned the generals to discuss a huge attack, not for the purpose of breaking the city, mainly to put pressure on the thief army in the city, so it was necessary to do it decently.

The generals are also idle these days, they are all thinking about how to attack, at this time they heard that Li Yan was going to attack the city, they asked for the main attack, and even the noisy face was red and the neck was thick, no one let anyone, which gave Li Yan a headache, so he had to let the generals prepare first.

It was late at night and drizzled.

Li Yan sat alone in the tent looking at the dark lake in a daze, not far away there was a light cough that caused the soldiers to investigate, Li Yan retracted his mind and got up and walked outside the account to look, and saw Liu Tichun (also known as Liu Tiren) walking over slowly: "Don't disturb Brother Li."

"Who am I, it turned out to be Brother Flying Tiger, (Liu Tiren's nickname is Flying Tiger) Why did you sleep for a long night without intention?" Li Yan and Liu Tiren were familiar with each other and joked with each other, while inviting them into the account,

Liu Tichun smiled bitterly and entered the account: "I was really right, Brother Li said right, I had something in my heart and didn't want to sleep, so I came to ask for advice."

"You and I are originally from the same origin, and now we are working together under the account of the little governor, this is related to public and private is not comparable to outsiders, Brother Feihu has something to say, although he speaks, he doesn't have to see the outside so much."

Liu Tichun smiled and sighed: "If I don't see the outside, it's actually like today."

"If Brother Feihu still says something, brother, I'm really angry" Li Yan feigned anger, Liu Tiren hurriedly laughed: "It's just a joke" said with a whole face: "Give me the main attack."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and sat down slowly, he had actually guessed that Liu Tiren would come to him so late to come for this matter, at this time, several troops outside Anqing City were rushing to attack, and Liu Tiren was the most fiercely fighting.

The reason for this is actually quite easy to understand.

Liu Tiren was deeply valued by Li Zicheng in the thief army, belonged to the lineage, and was once named Guangshan Bo by Li Zicheng, so it can be seen that his weight in the thief army was that Li Yan and Hao Shaoqi could not compare with him at that time.

However, feng shui takes turns, Li Yan is already one of the Great Ming Pillar States at this time, and he is deeply valued by the emperor's grace and the little eunuchs, and another Hao Shaoqi is also awarded the rank of general Mingwei at this time, leading the rank of general, and even at this time, he has been able to return to the Dongchangwei from the unified army.

But what about yourself?

It was not the initiative to surrender, but was wounded and captured in Taiyuan and surrendered, the meaning is very different, although he was also awarded the rank of general, he was actually vacant, and he had no military power and no soldiers available, which made him extremely disappointed and extremely eager to earn military merits.

"Allocate 3,000 men to me, and I'll take the lead in the main attack!" Liu Tichun stared at Li Yan with a look of anticipation.

Although Li Yan knew his intentions, he also made a difficulty: "If I don't help you, in fact, I have a weak heart, you see that there is a good stubble under this city, if you are the main attacker, no one will accept it, after all, it will turn the sky upside down, and where do you let me send 3,000 troops to you?" From Huang Degong's hands or Gao Jie's hands or the side of the pro-guards? Although they are under my control, I have no right or the ability to send you a soldier from them, and they will not agree at all, or is your brother going to take 3,000 men from me to die? I still have so much money left, I really can't borrow you Huo Huo."

Li Yan smiled bitterly, but Liu Tiren was stunned, it turned out that things were far more complicated than he imagined, even if Li Yanli let him go to the main attack, but without soldiers in his hands, could he rely on himself to carry the banner to break the city, and it was impossible for others to borrow soldiers to send his men to death to earn military merit for him.

Co-author...... I'm ...... now. Hey" Liu Tichun couldn't accept his current situation, couldn't help but sigh, got up and was about to leave, Li Yan looked at his lonely back and gritted his teeth and stopped him: "How about you and Liu Zeqing attack together?" ”

Liu Tichun turned around when he heard this, slightly puzzled: "You want him to attack?" But I have no soldiers in my hands to go with him, and I am still just making wedding dresses for others."

"Not necessarily, maybe there is a cheap one to pick up, but it depends on your creation" Li Yan dragged Liu Tichun back to his seat and made tea for him: "Wait for me to talk to you."

In the rainy night at the end of summer, Chang Yu in the small village on the shore of Wutou Lake has fallen asleep, and Li Yan is whispering to Liu Tichun on the other side of the Yangtze River on the other side of the Yangtze River on the Linghu Lake outside Anqing City, and a few miles away on the head of Anqing City, Cheng Niandong is looking at the outside of the city in the rain with red eyes.

In just a few days, Cheng Niandong changed the high-spirited image of the past and became extremely haggard, at the beginning of the siege of the city by officers and soldiers, he was still confident, a hundred times more confident, he had soldiers in his hands, some people wanted food, and the officers and soldiers had high walls, and it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to break the city into the blue sky, and once Bai Wang on the other side of the bank was like a bamboo to the north, the dilemma here was immediately solved.

However, on the third day, he found out that something was wrong, and the officers and soldiers were calm and unhurried outside the city, except for cutting wood and building cars, it can almost be said that they were idle, and they had nothing to do.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Cheng Niandong became, the other party was too calm.

And then the means of the officers and soldiers began to have no lower limit, every late at night to shoot books into the city, all kinds of intimidation and bewitchment of the soldiers defending the city, what Bai Wang has been defeated and fled and so on...... What is the reward of 100 taels for the donor of the city, and the reward for the capture of Cheng Niandong is 100 taels...... This made the army panic, and Cheng Niandong himself began to be suspicious, for fear that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would be cut off by someone, and he would have to change several places to sleep at night, and he went to the city gate countless times a day to inspect, worried that someone would open the door and surrender, and he would be physically and mentally tortured for several days, so it was strange that he was not haggard.

Cheng Niandong was tossed and exhausted, and his temper became extremely irritable, and he often beat and scolded his thieves and soldiers, and everyone was in danger for a while, and he hated the officers and soldiers several times to bombard the officers and soldiers camp with the muzzle of the artillery to vent his hatred, but the officers and soldiers had already withdrawn from its range, and could only find an opportunity to put a cold arrow to shoot the officers and soldiers who were wandering outside the city, but the officers and soldiers were very clever, where to let it succeed so easily, on the contrary, they often took advantage of the night to cover the city with bows and arrows, tiger squatting and artillery sneak attack, hit a cannon to change a place, and slipped away after the fight, As soon as the thieves in the city heard the sound of artillery, they thought that the officers and soldiers had attacked the city, and they couldn't sleep all night, and they were miserable for several days in a row.

This is like boiling a frog in warm water, suffering more and more day by day, Bai Wang's whereabouts are unknown, the officers and soldiers besiege the city and attack at any time, the people around him are panicked, and they don't know which greedy ghost or coward will see him kill and make contributions, Cheng Niandong is close to collapse.

When it was dark, it suddenly rained, which made Cheng Niandong a little surprised, because in the past two days, he saw that the officers and soldiers outside the city moved frequently as if they were about to take action, and it was not ruled out that they suddenly launched an attack on a rainy night, so he has been guarding the city since it was dark.

Although the defending side is passive but has a geographical advantage, it can usually repel the attack, so unless the attacking side has an absolutely overwhelming victory, it will choose to attack during the day, on the contrary, it will choose to attack at night, the purpose is to use the cover of night to confuse the defenders, so that the other party can not guess where is the main attack point, if all your formations and intentions are clear in the daytime, the defenders can be deployed at any time to deal with it, and the attack will only be more difficult.

In terms of morale, the officers and soldiers outside the city have an absolute advantage, but the guys are slightly insufficient, mainly because there is no heavy artillery to suppress it, otherwise Li Yan would have started a long time ago, and he would not have directly attacked hard at all day or night.

But at present, if there is no heavy artillery to directly attack hard, the loss will be very heavy, because in addition to the lack of firepower suppression, the high wall of Anqing City is thick, and the south and north are adjacent to the water, and the area is narrow and difficult to accommodate large troops, so it can only attack from the east and west, but both of them have urn cities and cannons on the city!

Therefore, Cheng Niandong concluded that if the officers and soldiers wanted to attack the city, nine times out of ten they would attack at night!

By this time, he had a premonition that a storm was coming.
