Chapter 227: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

"Peng ......"

Yang Li slapped the table fiercely, causing the faces of several people in the hall to change, especially the wanderer who sent the cavalry out of the city to inquire about the situation this time, and his heart couldn't help but shrink. The four or five people in the hall held their breath, not daring to make the slightest extra move. This Yang Li, starting a fire, is killing people without blinking, but the background behind it is very big, and many people want him to score three points.

"You say, in just one day, the cavalry under your command lost more than 500 people?"

You Ziyuan shrugged his head and said in a low voice: "Back to Yang Shuai, our cavalry was attacked by Yan army scouts within more than fifty miles around Anyuan County, and then repeatedly attacked by Yan troops in the surrounding towns and villages, so that it ......"

"Is there an abnormality in Ertai and Jun and Wen?" Yang Li suppressed the anger in his heart and raised his head and asked. He also knows that now is not the time to get angry. The more you are at this time, the more you have to be calm! Yang Li said to himself secretly.

"General Ertai and General Jun and Wen are not abnormal, come to think of it, these Yan army scouts only appear sporadically, and they have no intention of fighting in groups."

"Are you sure it's Yan Jun from Pingzhou Mansion?" Yang Li rubbed his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.

You Ziyuan's face turned straight and said: "My subordinates are not very sure whether they are the Yan army of Pingzhou Mansion, but these scouts are all military equipment of Yan Junfu, equipped with good horses, brand new armor, and there are a lot of them. The subordinates thought that except for Pingzhou Mansion, there would be no such army in the surrounding areas, and it still appeared suddenly. However, the subordinates also have some doubts, it stands to reason that the government army of Pingzhou Mansion will not be so powerful, and the cavalry of our army will fight against it, although they are all secretly attacked, but they will not suffer such heavy casualties. Yang Shuai, could they be the cavalry of the Long Xiang Army? ”

Yang Li was stunned at first, and then frowned. He didn't pay any attention to the government army in the Yan army, but he didn't dare to ignore the Long Xiang army. This army is an army that dares to be compared with the iron cavalry of the Murowei tribe, and it is not weaker than its own army at all, and it is even above its own team.

A shout of "report ......" came from outside the hall, startling everyone. Then, the generals saw a bloodied, panting scout being helped in by two guards.

As soon as the scout entered the hall, he quickly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Marshal Qiqi, Yunfeng Town was besieged by the Yan army, and General Ertai was afraid that Yunfeng Town would fall, so he came to ask for help. ”

The faces of the generals in the hall changed in an instant, and Yang Li said in a sullen voice: "How many Yan troops are there attacking Yunfeng Town?" ”

"If you know how to be a commander, there are no less than 5,000 people, including 2,000 cavalry. Now that the troops are in the city, Yunfeng Town is weak and weak, and it may be difficult to hold on, so I have come to ask for help! ”

"You go down to rest first, and Ben Shuai will send people to support later!" Yang Li waved his hand and said, and the two guards helped him out again.

Yang Li's face tightened, he sat quietly, and did not speak for a long time, and the rest of the generals naturally did not dare to say more, but everyone also knew that the matter was urgent now, and it was not the time to delay.

Li Wanlie said softly: "My lord, are we sending someone to support?" Five thousand Yan troops, Yunfeng Town can't hold out for long. After all, Yunfeng Town is just a town, not a big city, once it is breached, we will be opened a gap here, and the interception of Pingzhou Mansion will be much more troublesome. ”

Yang Li shook his head and said slowly: "There are only five or six thousand troops stationed in the northernmost county of Pingzhou Mansion, how could they suddenly appear in Yunfeng Town, and our scouts and spies have not received the slightest news?" The dispatch of 5,000 troops could not be silent. ”

Li Wanlie was surprised: "My lord means that these Yan troops are not the army of Pingzhou Mansion?" ”

"Nope! Maybe, maybe not, maybe not so much, or maybe Pingzhou Mansion had already planned and planned for a long time, and suddenly acted tonight. ”

"What about us?"

Yang Li sighed and said, "It's because it's because it's uncertain, it's a troublesome thing." Our Yan army has always been cavalry fighting, only plundering, not occupying land, but now that it has occupied the land of Yan State all of a sudden, we know very little about governing the place and obtaining information and intelligence. I'm now worried that Youzhou will tear up the treaty and launch an attack on us. You know, our retreat has been cut off by that Huolin Army, and the so-called King of Qi has failed to achieve his goal, who knows......"

A thousand people will speak: "My lord, but now that Yunfeng Town is attacked, we can't sit idly by. Compared with the east and west towns in the south, Anyuan County is much more stable, it is better to let Yunfeng Town stick to and wait for help, and Changping Town is investigated, do not act rashly, and do not fall for the enemy's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. The dispatch of reinforcements from Anyuan County will not have much impact on the defense of Anyuan County. ”

This person is right, Yunfeng Town and Changping Town are not as the outside world said, there are 2,000 people, but 1,500 people. Among them, there were 1,000 soldiers and 500 servant troops in each town. However, the family members of these 500 servant troops are in Anyuan County, and the Yan army is not afraid of any abnormal movements. In Anyuan County, there are 4,000 servants and 1,000 servants, and the families of these servants are in various places, or there are no families, so the Men army placed them in Anyuan County. There are 4,000 troops on the side, and they are not afraid of any misdeeds.

"Yes, my lord, no matter what the situation may be, you can't delay!"

"That's good! You are far away, your troops are not good at fighting during the day, and you will atone for your sins tonight, and you can set off with 1,500 cavalry to the rescue. Remember! Just hold on, don't fight at night, wait until tomorrow and tomorrow, find out the situation, and then make a decision. Since the Yan army dares to fight at night, it means that it has other preparations and has to be guarded against! Yang Li stared at Youzi far away and said sharply.

You Ziyuan hummed and said: "Don't worry, your subordinates understand that your subordinates will not disappoint your adults, and they will not let the Yan army break through Yunfeng Town." ”

"Alright, there you go!"

"Herald! Let Changping Town inspect the surrounding situation, strictly abide by the town, and don't be careless! ”

"Herald! Anyuan County will double its guards tonight, immediately ban the night, and those who dare to wander at night will be killed! ”

"Herald! There are no soldiers in the city who are responsible for defending the city, and they sleep in their clothes, ready to fight at any time! ”

Yang Li gave several military orders in a row, but there was still a trace of inexplicable worry in his heart. Yan Jun's sudden appearance in Yingzhou Mansion was already unreasonable. And the 5,000 army appeared in the territory of Yingzhou Mansion for nearly 100 miles, but the watchtowers and scouts under his subordinates did not find it in the slightest, which is even more unreasonable, but there was indeed a Yan army in Yunfeng Town. No matter how bold the guards of Yunfeng Town are, they don't dare to deceive themselves with fake military information. But why did the 5,000 army quietly appear in Yunfeng Town?

The winter sky darkened quickly, and not long after the evening, the heavens and the earth fell into darkness, and the defenders of Yunfeng Town were extremely nervous, because outside Yunfeng Town, nearly 5,000 troops besieged it.

In fact, when it comes to the 5,000 army, it is not actually seen by the soldiers defending the city, just because the sky is dark, it is no longer possible to see the scene dozens of meters away, let alone the situation hundreds of meters away. I saw that there were two thousand star-dotted partners on the north and south sides of Yunfeng Town, like a long dragon of flames, marching towards Yunfeng Town outside Lixu, and the roaring footsteps made the faces of the city guards pale for a while.

There were only 1,500 people in Yunfeng Town, and at the beginning, there were indeed 2,000 people, but after the remnants of the Yan army around Anyuan County were wiped out, most of the army was concentrated in Anyuan County. Among these 1,500 people, there were also 500 servant troops who were overwhelmed, which made the general Ertai who defended the city even worse.

1,500 soldiers, including 500 negligible servant troops, to fight against 5,000 Yan troops, he really doesn't have such great ability. The most important thing is that his scouting horses and cavalry wandering around several villages and towns outside the town were defeated by the other side in an instant, and according to the soldiers who fled back, these Yan troops were extremely strong, even stronger than the Yan army. This made Ertai a few worried, so after seeing several fire dragons approaching Yunfeng Town from a distance, he immediately sent several messengers to Anyuan County for help.

However, what made Ertai a little puzzled was that the Yan army outside the town was not in a hurry to attack the city, but was a few miles away from the town, not in formation, waiting quietly, although there was no siege, but also put on a compelling depressing atmosphere.

Outside the south gate of Yunfeng Town, Zhao Mang, the captain of the Nufeng Battalion, looked at Yunfeng Town's nervous appearance and said with a smile: "How is it?" Did the messenger of the Yunfeng Town Martial Army put it back? ”

Yang Hu said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have killed five batches and put one batch back." Now, in Anyuan County, I'm afraid that reinforcements have already begun to be sent. Just ......"

"Just what? Worried that the Red Wolf Battalion won't be able to withstand the other side's reinforcements? You can rest assured, the Red Wolf Battalion also has 2,500 people, and against the two of them, the Evil Army can be completely defeated, especially since they are prepared, but the Evil Army is unprepared. ”

"What if there are too many reinforcements from the Yak Army? If they flee to Anyuan County, then our plan will be ......."

Zhao Mang said with a smile: "The importance of Anyuan County is far greater than that of Yunfeng Town, and they won't send too many reinforcements. ”

"My lord is really a good plan, use the number of torches to deceive the Yan army in Yunfeng Town. It's really ......"

In fact, outside Yunfeng Town, there were only 3,000 Huolin soldiers, including 1,000 in the Nufeng Battalion and 2,000 in the Yingzhou Army. It's just that the line stood sparsely, and in the distance, one person held two torches, and it seemed, from a distance, that it was double the number of people. This is also a siege but not an attack, according to Yunfeng Town, which is far away, and the front army is torched, and the rear army is dark, just a shadowy figure is flashing. In other words, Yunfeng Town's Yan army was fooled, and there were no five thousand soldiers outside the city, and they couldn't easily attack Yunfeng Town.
