The commander of Sang Qian's army looked solemn and was speechless for a long time.
The army had just rushed to the front line, but before it could gain a stable foothold, it was suddenly attacked by Beixi County and suffered heavy losses. The most important thing was that the strategic layout was disrupted. Such preparations for the war would inevitably miss the opportunity. Once the news was sent back to the capital, it would be difficult to Take the blame.
After thinking about it, the commander gritted his teeth and said: "According to the original plan, we will attack Beixi County at noon tomorrow!"
At present, the only way to save the situation is to use the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
At this time, an army adviser arrived: "General, our army's siege equipment has been severely damaged, and it has been harassed by Beixi County. Its morale has been greatly damaged. If we continue to attack the city, it is really a bad idea. According to the spies' reports, Beixi The county's siege city has been expanded by more than half, and it is built in a pattern, like ridges in a field, one square after another."
"Beixi County had already expected that the city would be attacked halfway through the construction of the city, so it adopted this method. When the outer city is completely expanded, the blocking walls can be drilled through to connect them with each other. Now, the square cities are all , which is equivalent to an urn city. No matter which direction you attack from, you will inevitably fall into the urn city and be besieged from all sides."
"The best strategy is to wait until the follow-up siege equipment is delivered, prepare troops and horses, and break through at one point."
How could the commander not understand this?
The current rush to attack the city is also a helpless move. The rebellion in Pingnan County was planned by Ye Xiao, and now he is launching an attack in order to cooperate with Sang Qian's army inside and outside to attack Beixi County.
If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be impossible to find another opportunity!
The commander immediately shouted: "This general has made up his mind! At noon tomorrow, we will launch a general attack on Beixi County!"
The counselor beat his feet and chest, but had no choice but to sigh in his heart. If General Chen Si was present, he would definitely give up the siege!
The commander in front of him insisted on attacking the city just to make up for his past mistakes. However, he did not know that this battle was not to make up for the situation, but would only cause Sangqian's army to suffer greater losses.
…
Li Zhang stood on the city gate, looked at the Tianji camp guards who rushed back, and asked loudly: "Can we catch him alive?"
The guard leading the team raised his head and shouted: "Hui Shizi, that tongue can do anything. As you expected, the person leading Sangqian's army this time is not Chen Si."
Hearing this, Li Zhang was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Well done, let's go back to the city and rest!"
Li Zhang turned around and looked at Lin Quqi, unable to conceal his excitement: "Tomorrow Sang Qian's army will attack in force!"
Lin Quqi frowned: "Sang Qian's army is one of the main forces in Beidi. It has a large number of troops and horses. If the army attacks, a fierce battle is inevitable. Why is the prince so happy?"
Li Zhang put his hands behind his back and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Qin has been planning in Beixi County for so long, and this is the battle he has been waiting for."
Lin Quqi's eyes were filled with surprise. Before this, Lin Quqi thought that Qin Feng's various construction projects in Beixi County were just defensive gestures, coupled with the management of people's livelihood, and did not think about the military strategy at all. As for Li Zhang in front of him, he had already seen the deeper meaning not long after arriving in Beixi County. Lin Quqi was both admired and puzzled.
"Your Majesty, how do you say this?"
Li Zhang's face was full of admiration, and he sighed in his heart. Qin Feng had been fighting wits and courage with various political parties and Emperor Liang for so long in the Kyoto court, and he had already developed the ability to "see ten steps after one step".
"The outer city of Beixi County is being expanded in a large-scale way. Preventing attacks and harassment is only one of them. The real meaning is to set a trap for the Beidi army and invite you to enter the urn."
"Each square city is connected to each other and independent of each other. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack! If the enemy wants to enter the inner city, it is inevitable to attack the square city first. Each square city is like an urn city, and the enemy can be surrounded from all sides! Obviously, as early as when Qin Feng started to expand Beixi County, he had already expected that there would be a bloody battle in the near future."
"The commander-in-chief of the Sangqian Army must attack for two reasons. The first is to balance the merits and demerits, and the second is to cooperate with the war in Pingnan County. Look, at noon tomorrow, the Sangqian Army will definitely experience the power of my important town of Daliang Menya!"
This night in the north is destined to be uneventful.
There are several tents stationed on the plain twenty miles north of Pingnan County.
At dawn the next day, Qin Feng will lead the black cavalry to Pingnan County to supervise the battle. Just as Qin Feng carefully checked the military report sent by the Jin Yiwei and reviewed the situation in the entire northern border, a black shadow bypassed the patrolling black knight and quietly approached the tent.
In just one stick of incense, the black shadow was less than a thousand feet away from the tent. Under the dark night, the light from the tent could be clearly seen.
At this moment, four black knights patrolled here.
The black shadow immediately prostrated on the ground and cleverly concealed its figure. The horse's hooves were less than two feet away from the black shadow, but the black knight did not find any clues.
When the patrolling black knights were gone, the black shadow slowly stood up and continued to approach the tent, pushing forward to a position of fifty feet.
A gust of night wind blew by, and the tent curtain fluttered, and Qin Feng could be vaguely seen sitting in the tent, holding a candle.
The black shadow's eyes were sharp, and he slowly took out the bow and arrow from behind. He opened the bow fully, his eyes were like an eagle, and the arrow was pointed directly at Qin Feng.
The distance of fifty feet is roughly estimated at one hundred to one hundred and twenty steps.
Although the accuracy of archery at night is greatly reduced, Heiying is full of confidence. As long as his hand is loosened, Qin Feng will be killed on the spot, just because he is the fourth-ranked killer on the sky list, Wei Xiao!
Hold your breath and concentrate.
Just before Wei Xiao released his arrow, a figure suddenly appeared outside the tent, blocking Qin Feng.
Wei Xiao frowned and had no choice but to postpone his killing plan.
But soon, Wei Xiao noticed something was wrong. The man was wearing heavy armor and was standing outside the tent door like a door god. He was holding a walking stick in his hand, and his sharp eyes were directed towards Wei Xiao.
"Has the whereabouts been exposed?"
"not good!"
Just when Wei Xiao realized that the situation was not good, there was a heavy sound of horse hooves behind him.
When he turned around, he saw that the black knights who had passed by him had blocked Wei Xiao's retreat. It turned out that those black knights were not unaware of Wei Xiao, but deliberately let him go and quietly formed a circle of encirclement.
At the same time, several men in black clothes walked out from among the black riders.
Wei Xiao recognized at a glance that these people were dressed exactly like the spies in Beixi County.
Since Qin Feng entered the northern border, Jin Yiwei's right envoy Mo Li sent six Jin Yiwei to stay by Qin Feng's side day and night, protecting him secretly. Even if Wei Xiao's assassination skills were at their peak, his whereabouts would soon be exposed under the prying eyes of these professional intelligence personnel.
"The number four killer on the Heavenly List, Wei Xiao."
"I have been dormant in Beixi County for several months, waiting for the day when Mr. Qin returns to the north."
"We have been monitoring you for more than a month. From the moment you left the county, we have been following you closely."
"Today, you have wings and cannot escape."
