Yang Yizhi was still wearing black armor and holding a silver gun. He was waiting for Liu Mo at the end of the suspension bridge, with a tall horse on his hip.
"Will he change his mind and kill me as soon as we meet?" Liu Mo noticed the murderous look on Yang Yizhi's face.
The horse's hooves restlessly stepped on the planks of the suspension bridge, making a "clack-clack-clack" sound. Liu Mo thought hard and hesitated whether to wear thicker armor during the negotiation. In the end, he chose to go into battle lightly.
He reined in his horse and stopped a yard in front of Yang Yi, nodding to him.
"Brother Liu Xian!" Yang Yizhi said. "You didn't disappoint my brother, you came anyway!"
"Brother Yang!" Liu Mo responded, "Thank you for the honor of negotiating with me!"
"Negotiation? Not surrender?" Yang Yizhi smiled, "I have prepared your cell and replaced it with new straw."
Damn, what this guy says is so irritating!
"Will you spare my life? Why don't the people around us in Rongcheng receive this kind of treatment?" Liu Mo smiled, "I thought Brother Yang was not a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately!"
"I gave them a chance. As long as they surrender, they can survive!"
"Then give them a broken sickle and force them to attack the city?" On the first night of the Battle of Rongcheng, Liu Mo saw the trick. The first batch of people to attack the city wall were the people from the surrounding villages.
"Compassion does not command troops! How many tens of thousands of people have died under the butcher's knife in our great Zhou Dynasty? This is what war is like, either you kill me or I kill you." Yang Yizhi told him, "Will you surrender or not?"
"Thank you Brother Yang, but it's better for me to refuse." Liu Mo said, "It's much more comfortable to live in your own tent." "
"Then I'll have to break your bones and throw you in!"
Liu Mo forced out a smile. "It's not certain who will win." He said, "Brother Yang, since you have taken care of Xiaowan for more than ten years, I will give you a suggestion.
As long as you put down your spear and open the city gate, I will spare the lives of tens of thousands of your soldiers. "
"Did I hear you correctly?" Yang Yizhi laughed, "Brother Liu Xian, if you haven't woken up yet, I can help you with a spear."
"I'm sober!" Liu Mo also laughed and said contemptuously, "If you refuse to surrender, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Liu Mo's attitude finally made Yang Yizhi unbearable, "If you are just talking nonsense, please excuse me."
"Don't believe it?" Liu Mo turned the horse's head, "Brother Yang, the siege will begin immediately!"
Under Yang Yizhi's surprised expression, Liu Mo rode back to the formation.
The next second, Liu Mo really attacked the city!
The horn of charge sounded, and Daxia soldiers formed a square formation, protected the siege vehicles, ladders, and charging vehicles, and stormed up.
The wind howled, the trebuchet creaked, and made a heavy blow, sending huge rocks flying into Jianglin City.
"Continue!" Liu Mo called, and the catapult was loaded again.
The same method, the same opponent, but the difference is that the offense and defense are interchanged.
Yang Yizhi retreated to the city wall and looked at everything that happened in front of him with a look of disbelief.
"Liu Mo, Liu Mo, are you crazy? Or is this just part of your trick?" He secretly thought, "Just like the last battle of Rongcheng, the siege was just a bait?"
He didn't understand, he really couldn't see through it.
"Is it possible that you still have reinforcements?" Thinking of this, Yang Yizhi looked into the distance. "What is that? In the forest? There's movement!"
Movement, of course there is movement!
This is part of Liu Mo's plan, imitating Zhang Fei's classic battle in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where Changbanpo drove back millions of Cao's troops.
The difference is that this time Liu Mo arranged for a thousand cavalry. Each cavalry tied a cut branch to the tail of the horse, and then ran around among the woods, making a huge movement, giving people the feeling that there was Thousands of troops.
"There really is an ambush!" Yang Yizhi frowned, "No, you are cheating! There can be no ambush. All the troops were blocked by me on the north bank of Jianghun River!"
But then I thought about it, "But this person really attacked the city without thinking at all!"
For a moment, Yang Yizhi's thoughts fell into chaos!
At this moment, a hail of arrows struck. Where it came from, Yang Yizhi was not sure. They bounce off armor or find exposed flesh.
"No matter what tricks you use, I will definitely defeat you this time!"
Yang Yizhi rushed into the enemy camp angrily. A Daxia infantryman slashed at his head with a simple knife. He lightly raised his spear and stabbed the opponent's throat directly! "You bastard, go to hell!"
Liu Mo and Zhu Min were sitting at the rear, watching the battlefield.
"Are you angry? Are you confused? The best is yet to come." He couldn't help but grin, "To deal with a 'genius' general like you, we must be surprised!"
The siege continued until dusk that day. After losing nearly a thousand soldiers, Zhu Min withdrew his troops.
After returning from the front line, Liu Mo asked all the soldiers to eat and drink well and rest early.
Not only that, he also refused to allow the troops to build defensive facilities, not even the most basic fences.
To put it simply, it is to put on a posture of welcoming Yang Yi to attack the camp at night.
This operation made Yang Yizhi's scalp numb!
"Lead the troops out to destroy this ignorant boy?" he thought to himself. "No, this brat likes to trick people very much and is very cunning! There must be an ambush in the forest during the day! He is luring me out of the city!"
"Jiang Lincheng is impregnable. We have 30,000 Zhou generals guarding the city. Even if 200,000 enemy troops come, it will be difficult to capture it."
"I won't be fooled by you, Liu Mo, never!"
On the other hand, under the arrangement of the Daxia Dynasty, under Liu Mo's arrangement, the soldiers first had a sumptuous meal, and then took a long sleep with a little doubt.
It was not until three o'clock on the second day that the ordering soldiers in the camp quietly got up and opened the curtains of the camp tent one by one.
"Wake up, wake up!"
The soldiers opened their eyes in confusion. Just as they were about to speak, they were blocked by the orderly!
"No talking!"
Daxia soldiers were walking out of their tents, tying their sword belts while gathering.
The bonfires in the camp were extinguished, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds tonight, so that the soldiers of Daxia had to move forward in disgrace.
Every soldier looked confused. No one knew what happened except for some non-commissioned officers!
When all the troops completed the formation, Liu Mo once again asked the herald to convey the order: "Soldiers wear their socks outside, and then wrap their horses' hooves with the Daxia flag. Don't ask why!"
As soon as this order was issued, the experienced veterans reacted immediately. Liu Mo's order was to not make any noise and attract the attention of the Zhou Dynasty defenders in Jianglin City.
This is the time to launch a surprise attack!
Sure enough, the second order came soon after.
"Tonight's surprise attack, the target is the Zhou Dynasty troops on the south bank of Jianghun River!"
Fortunately, God seemed to be helping Liu Mo. It rained heavily again, and lightning and thunder covered all the sounds and the whereabouts of Daxia's army.
The army quietly left the camp, and there was a biting chill under the dark and gloomy sky, but Liu Mo's blood was boiling at the moment.
This decision is another gamble, a huge gamble to capture Yang Yizhi's character!
Su Xiaowan said that Yang Yizhi was arrogant, meticulous and extremely capable. So the more such a person is, the less he can listen to other people's opinions and the more suspicious he becomes!
Liu Mo bet that Yang Yizhi would never give up on Jiang Lincheng's natural dangers and choose to aggressively fight the Daxia army in the field.
The last step in Liu Mo's plan was to attack the enemy troops on the south bank of Jianghun River at night.
Total annihilation? unnecessary!
All you need to do is create chaos, repel the opponent, and safely cover the main force of Daxia to cross the river!
Regarding this plan, he had already sent out carrier pigeons to inform the Sixth Prince on the other side.
The key battle to defeat the enemy is tonight!
