Chapter 470: Siege at Night
"What did Father Marshal say?"
In Liucheng, seeing a flying eagle descending, a young man with a mighty appearance asked urgently.
"My lord, the generalissimo has asked us to hold on to Liucheng, reinforcements are coming!" The Wuhuan man in charge of the information transmission replied respectfully.
The young man, that is, the young man, frowned when he heard this, and his heart was instantly filled with haze.
Previously, when Liu Meng led his army to attack Changli, Liu Yi also led his army to Liucheng, intending to make a surprise attack.
However, Badun's alertness was very high, and Liu Yi had just appeared and spotted his traces. After the failure of the surprise attack, Liu Yi launched a tentative attack on Liucheng and found that Liucheng was heavily defended and had no chance to take advantage of it.
Liu Yi was not discouraged, so he stationed under Liucheng to prevent the Wuhuan soldiers from escaping, waiting for Shang Ji to lead the army to join the division.
During this period, Badun also organized several raids, but before the Wuhuan Elite Cavalry could actually contact Liu Yijun, he was shot back by the rain of arrows from the Xingyao Strongbow.
Knowing the huge gap between the enemy and us, Badun also gave up the idea of taking the initiative to attack, and waited for Qiu Liju's news.
Now the news came, but it made Bunton's heart even more terrified. He had expected that Shang Ji might agree to their conditional surrender, after all, Wuhuan had come over this way for so many years of rebellion and surrender and rebellion. As a result, who knew that the messenger who sought peace was blasted out without even seeing the main master, which made the alarm bell in his heart ring, and he understood that this time it was estimated that it would not be so easy to get over.
After hesitating in place for a long time, he quietly summoned a henchman and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Lord, I want to escape!"
Chen Guan hurriedly entered the merchant tent and said in a low voice.
"Tell me what's going on!"
"There is news from the cloth agents lurking in Liucheng that Badun's henchmen are secretly collecting food, cloth, weapons and armor and other materials, which were not sent to the city wall to defend against our army's attack, but were secretly preserved. According to all indications, Badon is preparing for escape! ”
"Well, well done, Bai Shou's information is very important!" Shang Ji nodded approvingly: "Badun is a hero-level figure, once he runs away, there will be endless harm." Ordered the secret agents of Buyi to closely monitor the whereabouts of Badun, and report to me as soon as there is any sign of abandoning the city and fleeing! ”
"In addition, the movements of Qiu Li's residence department must also be closely monitored, but if there is any change, report it immediately!"
"Yes!"
Waving his hand to let Chen Guan retreat, Shang Ji rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
I thought that the war was about to end, but who knew that the Xianbei people would intervene sideways - according to intelligence, there was a change in Xianbei in the east, and the 100,000 troops of the two tribes had a tendency to go south.
100,000 Xianbei troops are not worried, sending a partial division is enough to resist and even annihilate! Shang Ji has ordered Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 silver dragon iron cavalry north, and once the Xianbei army shows signs of crossing the border to attack, they will immediately send troops!
But Shang Ji's headache is the meaning behind Xianbei's movement!
Because of the "Xianbei Treasure" that Shang Ji made before, the already tense relationship between Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng was even worse. One party accused the other of swallowing the treasure alone, and the other party thought it was spewing blood, and the two once fought each other!
When the yellow scarves were raging in the Han Dynasty, Xianbei was also in full swing and very lively.
At this time, the 100,000 Xianbei army intended to go south, and Shang Ji couldn't figure out whether this was a private act of the two tribes, or whether Xianbei had reached a reconciliation internally.
If it is the former, it is better to say, 100,000 ordinary Xianbei tribal troops, Zhao Yun can easily eliminate them when he goes north, but if it is the latter, it will be serious.
Xianbei's overall strength is very strong, now they are mired in civil strife, the threat is reduced, once Xianbei reaches a settlement, it will be a big trouble for the Shang army, which will seriously affect the future development plan of Shang Ji!
Looking at the map, Shang Ji was ruthless in his heart, Liucheng must be captured as soon as possible!
Liucheng is the largest city closest to Xianbei, and then Leyang, the county town of Liaodong. In terms of urban planning, Liucheng was originally the gate of Leyang, playing the role of guarding the county governance of western Liaoning.
However, it is ironic that Liucheng is now occupied by the Wuhuan people, threatening Leyang's safety at all times.
"Go and ask General Liu to come over!" Shang Ji waved his hand and commanded directly.
It didn't take long for Liu Yi to come to the merchant tent.
"Lord!"
"Brother is here, please take a seat!" Shang Ji greeted affectionately.
"I haven't seen you for months, but my brother's demeanor is even better!" Shang Ji's words are not flattery, Liu Yi at this time is more restrained than when Shang Ji left Liaodong, his eyes are as vast as stars, and his temperament is becoming more and more calm and profound, and even his appearance has been upgraded by a notch. Quietly opened Liu Yi's attribute panel and found that his force value had reached 97 points of human-level upper grade.
You must know that four months ago, Liu Yi had just been promoted to the top generals with the scroll of life and death, and in just a few months, he was promoted to two grades one after another, which can be called a pervert!
"Brother Xian is not bad, now he is already at the peak of the super-first-class, and he is just around the corner to be promoted to a top general!"
The two exchanged politeness and got to the point: "Brother, do you know the news of Xianbei's southward journey?"
Liu Yi nodded solemnly.
"Although Zilong has already been asked to lead the army to the north, I am afraid that this is only the forward force of the Wuhuan people. Now that Liucheng has become the key, we must capture Liucheng as soon as possible to ensure that even if Wuhuan really attacks in a big way, we can also rely on Liucheng to defend! ”
"What the virtuous brother said is very true, for Liucheng, what is the good way for the virtuous brother"
"I have a rough idea at the moment, but I still have to ask my brother for advice."
"Brother Xian, please speak up!"
"Brother." Shang Ji glanced at Liu Yi and said softly: "How about we attack the city at night?"
"Night siege" Liu Yi frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Xian means night attack on the city"
"No, no, no!" Shang Ji waved his hand again and again, "It's not an attack on the city, or a righteous and bright siege!" ”
Liu Yi became interested, and when it came to night battles, Liu Yi after the advanced was the real OSS. I have heard a lot of night battles attacking cities, but night battles and sieges are unheard of.
"Throughout ancient and modern history, the most important factor is the paralysis of the defenders and the underestimation of the enemy in all successful battles of attacking the city."
"Yes, Brother Xian's words are reasonable!" Liu Yi smiled and said with some empathy: "People in the world talk about night raids with relish, but who knows if there is no way to take the initiative to attack at night, when you meet a commander who uses soldiers with righteousness, there is no difference between a surprise attack and looking for death!" ”
Saying that, Liu Yi sighed: "When Brother Fool first arrived in Liucheng, he also thought about a night attack. But he is cautious by nature, the enemy army is heavily garrisoned, and a rash night attack will definitely outweigh the losses! ”
"Naturally, the magic plan can be passed down through the ages, isn't it because of the low success rate?"
"But we won't take the surprise route today, we will attack the city in a dignified manner, and attack the city at night!"
"What does Brother Xian mean" Liu Yi seemed to understand a little, and asked expectantly.
"Relying on my brother's ability, the impact of the night on us will be minimized, but not the Wuhuan army. Under the advantages of the other, the gap between the combat power of the two armies is maximized, and the success rate of the siege has skyrocketed! ”
"But ...... like this"
"From now on, my brother will take over the command of the whole army, including myself, and everyone will be at my brother's command, and we will launch a general attack on Liucheng after nightfall!" Shang Ji waved his hand to stop Liu Yi, who was about to speak, and said solemnly.
