Chapter 160: Ten Days Without Sealing the Sword
Chapter 161
The military order given to Qi Deqiang by the king of Youzhou was to break through the toad village within three days and cut off Cheng Dalei's head. And how long did Qi Deqiang take...... Ten days.
For ten days, he didn't fight Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei's strategy is the same as Xue Banchuan's, with only two words: don't fight.
No matter what kind of trouble you make outside, whether you are pretending to withdraw troops, showing weakness and luring the enemy, etc., I can't insist on it, night raids or something, Cheng Dalei resolutely refuses to do it.
In the mountains and forests, large-scale siege equipment such as trebuchets could not be used. And the gate of the toad village is a little smaller, Qi Deqiang brought 10,000 people, and the soldiers who can really be used for each siege are only a few thousand.
Relying on thousands of people can't break this toad village.
When the two armies were in a truce, Cheng Dalei would stand on the city gate and shout at Qi Deqiang.
"Lao Qi, do you remember when we held candles and talked at night, you are going to a distant place, I am going to find my girl. ”
"You and I hit it off at first sight, although we are not brothers, but we are better than brothers, I didn't expect that today's brothers will meet each other in arms. ”
"Lao Qi, I have made a new poem, which praises the feelings of our brothers, I will read it to you......"
"I still remember our Zeng Hongyan biography, in which you said that Yang Long stopped drinking and eating rice bags, and if you are the king of Youzhou, you will definitely do better than him. “
......
Qi Deqiang finally felt the fear of Yang Longzhi being dominated by rumors, rumors are such a thing, he can't hurt you, but he disgusts you. Especially the last sentence, which is completely condemning the heart. If this statement is known by the king of Youzhou, if he doesn't believe it or not, he will definitely have a mustard in his heart, and his future will be ruined in the future. And if the soldiers are forbidden to spread it, they will seem to be thieves with a weak heart.
Cheng Dalei is by no means a formidable opponent, but he is definitely a disgusting opponent.
Well, since you don't come out, I won't fight you, so let the soldiers stay in Qingniu Mountain and escort the grain convoy.
But it's not worth it to have 10,000 troops here. Qi Deqiang had no choice but to ask the king of Youzhou for help, admitting the fact that he couldn't break the toad village.
Yang Longzhu asked him to bring some people back, leaving some people to protect the grain transportation team.
But in this way, Cheng Dalei came to the spirit, night attack, arson, trap...... Relying on his familiarity with the surrounding environment, Cheng Dalei led a team of people to rob the grain transportation team. If you can grab it, you can grab it, and if you can't grab it, burn it...... And he will never fight you head-on, only as soon as he encounters a large force of troops, he will immediately flee back to the cottage, and there will be no shadow left.
In the end, the king of Youzhou transported ten carts of grain, and lost at least three carts, so it was better to abide by the rules of the toad village from the beginning and give Cheng Dalei two percent of the grain.
This side started a hide-and-seek-like jungle battle with Cheng Dalei, and Yang Long's main battlefield was still in Black Rock City.
The siege of the city also did not go well.
Tunnels, night raids, assassin infiltration ...... I thought about all the methods that could be used to attack the city, and it did bring huge pressure to Xue Banchuan, but it didn't get a real effect.
Lack of food has always been a heart disease for Yang Long, Cheng Dalei held the grain road, if he wanted to give you food, he would rest for a few days and not grab food, and if he wanted to give you food, he would work overtime.
What does it feel like to be pinched in the throat, what does it feel like for Yang Long to stop now. As a result, when he attacked Black Rock City, he was never able to go all out.
Yang Longzhu felt like he was stuck in a quagmire. Half-lifed, he has encountered many enemies, powerful, cruel, cunning...... But there is no enemy as disgusting as Cheng Dalei and Xue Banchuan.
The routine of the two should not have been taught by a master, or there was some kind of cooperation between them.
Yang Longzhu already had a plan to kill Cheng Dalei, kill the toad first, and then behead Xue Si. But as soon as he pulled out of the camp, Xue Banchuan, who had never shown his face, came out of the city.
Okay, it's finally out, let's fight! Finally be able to kill heartily.
When he straightened out the formation and was ready to charge, Xue Banchuan went back again, and the city gate was closed tightly.
That...... Continuing to pull out the camp, Xue Banchuan came out again. When he was ready to fight, he went back again.
Now, Yang Longzhu is sure that Cheng Dalei and Xue Banchuan must have some kind of cooperation, otherwise they would not cooperate so tacitly.
War is a very complicated matter, it is not a big wave of the hand, the army is killed, the two sides of the strength of the comparison, who loses and who wins. War is not so simple. When there is still a delay in taking the plane, it can be delayed for two or three hours, not to mention an army of tens of thousands of people, and the slightest situation for anyone is enough to brew into an accident that destroys the entire army.
How long did this war last long...... Two months.
Two months later, Yang Longzhu was exhausted and panicked, and Xue Banchuan was not like that. After two months of siege, the city is about to run out of food, and no one knows whether it can hold on any longer.
The war is fought to the end, and the fight is who can carry it better. If Yang Longzhu couldn't bear the withdrawal of troops, Xue Banchuan would be famous in a battle, and his power would be enough to cover several surrounding cities. Xue Banchuan can't bear it anymore, and if he relaxes a little, Yang Long can break the city.
As for Cheng Dalei...... Cheng Dalei is doing well.
He robbed Yang Long's grain team from time to time, and he had earned a lot of money in the past two months, and the thieves in Toad Village had gained a lot of weight on the whole.
It has been raining for the past few days, and the rain has been pouring non-stop, and the road is bumpy and difficult. Cheng Dalei has never been out of work (robbery). On this day, it was still raining lightly, and Cheng Dalei took people around outside to see if he could rob it once today.
Suddenly, I saw a wave of remnants of soldiers coming from the direction of Blackstone City.
"Why, Xue Banchuan defeated Yang Long. ”
This was beyond Cheng Dalei's expectations, and he hurriedly led people to withdraw to the cottage. If it was really as he expected, the defeated Yang Longzhi would not pour out his resentment on himself.
He led the people to stand on the gate of the city and looked up the official road, and saw a group of defeated soldiers passing by. These people didn't mean to attack the toad village, they were just a group of lost dogs, everyone lost their armor, their faces were full of fear, and they all looked like they were chasing after them.
"What's the matter, such a miserable defeat!" Cheng Dalei frowned.
"Big boss, big boss!"
A horse rushed over from the official road, and immediately carried Huang Sanyuan and Zhao Zilong, who had not returned since they went to Black Rock City last time. When he came back this time, Zhao Zilong was covered in blood, and Huang Sanyuan was not much better.
Cheng Dalei hurriedly opened the city gate and let them into the mountain, and as soon as they entered the cottage, the horse fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"What's wrong with you?" said Cheng Dalei.
"Big boss, it's a big deal!" Huang Sanyuan breathed rapidly, and his body trembled: "Rong clan, Rong clan has been killed!"
"What!" Cheng Dalei was startled.
The Youzhou soldiers came to the city, fought hard for two months without dying, and in the extreme north, 10,000 sons of the Northern Barbarian Department went south.
Then, one day to break the Youzhou soldiers, half a day to break the Black Rock City.
Then, slaughter the city.
The knife will not be sealed for ten days.
