The next day, Lu Yuan led the army and left the Dangyang camp.
The moment he led his army to leave, tens of thousands of troops were mobilized in the camp, and civilians from Nanhai and Ninghai were driven out and attacked Danyang City in front of them.
According to the previous agreement, before Lu Yuan launches a surprise attack, there will be enough movement here in the camp to attract the attention of the people around him and create opportunities for him.
At this point, that's it.
When Yan Wangqiu asked Lu Yuan, would this battle be good?
Lu Yuan's reply at the time was that if he wanted to win this decisive battle in Jiangbei, at least hundreds of thousands of people would have to die.
Now this reply has come true.
If you want to attract the attention of Zhou people and give them the illusion that the main force is here, you can't create such an atmosphere without launching successive rounds of strong attacks.
On the battlefield, there was another siege. Each round of violent attacks was basically equivalent to countless corpses.
There are 200,000 people in Ninghai and Nanhai. I am afraid that more than 100,000 corpses will be left behind in Dangyang City this time.
But no one cares about this.
The court didn't care, Lu Yuan didn't care, and even the heads of the two countries didn't care.
The only ones who would care may be those low-level civilians who still carry weapons in the cold winter, brave arrows and rolling stones, and rush to the top of the city screaming.
But the voices of these people are destined to be ignored.
So everything is reincarnation again.
But one thing is clear, that is, the sacrifices of these people have indeed attracted the attention of the Zhou people, allowing them to focus their energy on the Danyang battlefield here.
Therefore, the other side is more or less ignored.
…
The army was on its way to Guining Mansion.
Smoke and dust billowed all the way, flags covered the sky, and the movement was huge.
It is completely impossible to cover up the whereabouts of a hundred thousand troops.
And Lu Yuan never thought about covering up.
Because he knew that he couldn't hide it, but he couldn't let Zhou people pay attention to him. What should he do?
Answer, just make more noise on the other side and attract the attention of people around you.
This is also the meaning of existence of Dangyang battlefield.
Now it seems that this strategy has been implemented successfully.
Commander Lu Yuan's army set out from Dangyang Camp and headed all the way to Guining Mansion. On the way, they passed through Anyuan and Xingshan counties, but they did not encounter any troops sent by the Zhou people to stop them.
So after conquering the two counties of Guining Prefecture, he successfully arrived at the city of Guining Prefecture.
When we arrived here, Guiningfu City was obviously prepared for the oncoming army.
Not only the 50,000-strong army commanded by the Zhou people's Youzhu State general, Gui Lianyun, was here, but 20,000 local civilians who had been forcibly recruited also gathered in Fucheng to assist in the defense.
The Zhou people had a total of 70,000 troops, including Gui Lianyun himself, which formed the entire defense force of Guining Mansion.
Under the city.
While arranging his men to set up camp, Lu Yuan led Lan Cai'er and Yang Jing to the newly erected high platform and watched the troops and horses in Guining Fucheng being deployed.
Naturally, it is impossible for all the 70,000 Zhou people to be stationed in the city, and the city cannot accommodate so many people.
And the isolated city cannot be defended.
The best strategy for defending a city is often to be each other's horns and have reinforcements outside the city.
Therefore, in addition to leaving troops to guard the city, the Zhou people also built four large camps outside the city, which were placed on the southeast, northwest, and northwest sides of the city as peripheral barriers.
Fucheng serves as the central hub and supports everywhere at all times.
I have to say that such an arrangement is indeed very subtle and can maximize the power of Zhou people.
After all, there is only one innate grandmaster in the city, and it is impossible to take care of everything at once.
If four camps are set up outside the city, with the city as the core, Gui Lianyun, the general of the Youzhu Kingdom of the Zhou people, can sit in the city.
Then wherever there is a problem in the surrounding camps, or where there is an attack by the innate master, he can rush to help and resist.
Such a defensive strategy is naturally exquisite.
When facing an enemy with only one innate master, he can perfectly block the opponent. Even if the enemy has two innate masters and fights tooth and nail, it is not impossible to stop them.
But if the enemy has three innate masters, this arrangement will be a bit awkward.
Not everyone belongs to Bai Mengyang, the Marquis of Wu'an. With the help of Bingsha, he can exert his strength at the second level of Xiantian, and can forcefully stop three or four Xiantian Grandmasters at the same level.
Zhou Guogui Lianyun in the city, as far as Lu Yuan knew, was just an ordinary Xiantian master, and he had only achieved Xiantian status for more than ten years.
In terms of combat power, they are not necessarily much better than Lan Cai'er and Yang Jing.
Compared to myself who is a cultivator of both immortality and martial arts, that is even worse.
Therefore, after seeing Gui Lianyun's defense arrangement clearly, Lu Yuan looked back at the two men next to him and said with a smile: "Gui Lianyun wants to follow the example of Marquis Wu An and defend the isolated city by himself.
But he forgot that he, a mediocre person, could compare with Marquis Wu'an?
This time he set up four villages outside the city to stop our army.
The king then asked him to see what it means to block a chariot with a mantis' arm, without knowing one's ability. "
At this point, Lu Yuan looked solemn, turned to Yang Jing next to him and said, "Wu Xuanhou, later you will lead your headquarters to attack the traitor's Xizhai and lure him out."
When Yang Jing heard that he was sent to take the lead, Yang Jing didn't say much, but solemnly nodded: "I will obey the order."
Lu Yuan nodded, then turned to look at Lan Cai'er and said: "Queen, later you will have 20,000 troops to attack the bandit's Nanzhai."
Lan Cai'er nodded slightly: "I obey."
Lu Yuan continued to look at his disciple Zhou Qing next to him, and said: "Qing'er, you also command 20,000 troops to attack the bandit Dongzhai."
Zhou Qing came out and said, "I accept your order."
After completing all the above instructions, Lu Yuan looked at his right-hand men and said with a smile: "Later, I will personally lead the troops to attack the traitor's North Stronghold. I want to see if Guilian Yunli's fourth stronghold stops me, I will. The king is attacking from all sides and attacking fiercely. Can he possibly be able to stop it?"
The three people nearby laughed when they heard this.
Yang Jing even said: "This time I and the three innate masters took action together, but no matter how capable Gui Lianyun was, he was unable to rescue him.
As for the rest of the Zhou people, without any help from others, they are all like chickens and wagging dogs when faced with our innate masters.
Maybe tonight, I can go to the city and sleep. "
The Marquis of Wu Xuan was very optimistic about whether he could conquer Guining Fucheng.
In fact, we should be optimistic.
Why did Bai Mengyang believe that Lu Yuan was the only person who could complete his strange plan, penetrate hundreds of miles behind the Zhou people, and finally approach Xiangyang City?
This is not only because the soldiers and horses under Lu Yuan's command meet the requirements for performing this miracle. It's even more because there are two innate masters in Lu Yuan's army, he and Lan Cai'er.
If you include Yang Jing who came for support, there are three people.
There are three Xiantian Grandmasters in the army along the way, but facing the enemy, the only Xiantian Grandmaster is Gui Lianyun from Guining Fucheng.
Three times the difference in top combat power, twice the difference in military strength, this is an almost crushing advantage, but it is still impossible to complete the strange plan.
Then Lu Yuan and others can wash their hands as soon as possible and go back to the countryside to farm and stop living in this world.
This job of striving for world supremacy is not easy to mess around with, and there is no room for waste.
Hearing Yang Jing's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "If you want to sleep in the city tonight, you will have to show your true skills later. Kill two more Zhou traitors and enter the city. , that’s all.”
Zhou Qing next to him heard this and immediately said: "I will fight to the death."
Lan Cai'er also followed: "I am the same."
Judging from their appearance, like Yang Jing, they had no doubts about conquering Guining City and were very relaxed.
Seeing that his morale was ready, Lu Yuan took advantage of the situation and ordered the army to attack the city.
Then, of the 100,000 soldiers and horses, except for the 20,000 who were left to build camps and guard supplies, the remaining 80,000 were divided into four, each led by Lu Yuan and others, and attacked the four camps outside the Zhou people's city.
…
In the vast wilderness, war drums rumbled, Dai Viet's black dragon flag was waving, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the camp like a tide.
Yang Jing was sitting on the chariot, leading his 20,000 troops. Following Lu Yuan's orders, he took the lead and prepared to launch the first wave of offensive against the Zhou people.
In the west camp of the city, the Zhou people soon discovered this, and then the sound of warnings quickly woke up the Inai defenders.
"Enemy attack!"
"The Yue people are coming to kill."
"Get ready to roll rocks and logs, prepare archers. When those thieves get close, throw them hard and shoot them hard."
"Ask everyone in the camp to get up and prepare to attack the stronghold."
"The cavalry team is ready. After the enemy is defeated, I will attack to cover up and kill the thieves."
The Zhou general guarding the Xicheng camp immediately went to the gate of the camp after receiving the message, and then issued orders one after another from his mouth.
Those Zhou people were worthy of being elites. Not long after receiving the order, groups of warriors arrived at the wall.
Under the stronghold wall, arrays quickly gathered together, ready to rush forward and replace their comrades at any time.
Within half an hour, the tens of thousands of defenders in the camp were already completely on the move.
Even not only here, but also in the city, the landowner General Gui Lianyun also received the news immediately that there were Yue people attacking the city in Xizhai.
"Those Yue soldiers and horses appeared in the West City. The flag of the leading general has the character Yang?"
Gui Lianyun couldn't help but frown when he heard the ordering soldier finish talking about the situation there: "Is the main attack direction of Vietnam towards Xicheng? There is also the banner with the character Yang, and the person named Yang is also the coach. Could it be Wu Xuan of the Yue people? Hou Yangjing?"
This was the march of Lu Yuan's army to the west. For the sake of concealment, they did not display the flag openly, but asked Yang Jing to release his own flag.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, there is no doubt that the commander of the 100,000-strong army heading west this time is Yang Jing.
At this moment, when he heard that Yang Jing's handsome flag had appeared in Xicheng, Gui Lianyun's heart suddenly lifted.
If an innate master is left alone, he will not be able to stop the opponent with only ten thousand defenders at the Xicheng camp.
Thinking of this, Gui Lianyun immediately said to the messenger who came to deliver the message: "Go back and tell Wei Yan and ask him to check whether Yang Jing did it himself.
If so, ask him not to carry it with force, but first let people into the camp and surround it with a large army.
I will lead my troops to support you later. "
For the sake of stability, Gui Lianyun did not rush to the Xicheng camp immediately, but planned to wait and see.
The soldiers are deceitful, who knows if this is a strategy to gain popularity and attack in the east and in the west.
If he falls into the trap and rushes to the West City, but ignores other directions. If the Yue people find an opportunity and rush into the city, it will be too late.
"yes."
The messenger received the order, saluted, and then left in a hurry, returning to the camp to resume his duties.
After sending off the messengers, Gui Lianyun quickly took action and gathered five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, all with armor and swords, ready for rescue at any time.
Just as the city was in turmoil, a bloody massacre was quietly taking place at the Xicheng camp.
…
The wilderness outside the Xicheng Camp is not that wide.
Yang Jing led the army for a while, and soon approached the area a hundred steps in front of the camp.
Then it took a while to clean up the troops and put the originally scattered formation into order again.
"Siege the city!"
Seeing that the army was ready, Yang Jing didn't hesitate at all, let the guards around him drive the chariot, and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Behind him, thousands of armored warriors also moved in an instant, not resisting any siege equipment. At most, they rushed over with a ladder.
When the Zhou garrison in the west city saw this arrogant posture, their expressions suddenly changed. Some veterans began to look frightened when they looked at the chariot that came first.
As the elite of the Zhou people, many veterans fought in the north and south. They had seen and heard of many innate masters killing all directions, taking away the lives of soldiers like mowing grass.
At this time, the Zhou people attacked the camp without any equipment.
Even the one at the front was a chariot that was more symbolic than real, and the man on the chariot looked like a Yue leader.
Veterans with a little experience already know what it means when a coach leads the charge.
No.
Seeing the chariot getting closer and closer to the door, some clever veterans had already retreated and wanted to escape for their lives.
But before they could find an opportunity and take action under the surveillance of the officers, Yang Jing had already rushed to the gate of the camp.
"Shoot! Shoot him!"
"Throw a stone at me and kill the person!"
On the wall of the camp gate, the Zhou officer guarding the gate looked at the approaching chariot and suddenly roared angrily.
The surrounding soldiers immediately heard the sound and took action.
Only a buzzing sound was heard, the bowstring trembled, and then hundreds of arrows were lost and shot towards the rushing chariot.
However, when these arrows flew around the chariot, they saw a white lotus of more than ten feet blooming inside the chariot, wrapped in layers of petals, instantly blocking the fallen arrows.
There were arrows flying outside, but under the protection of the white lotus, there was no way to stop the chariot.
In the blink of an eye, the chariot rushed to the entrance of the camp.
When the Zhou soldiers on the wall saw this, they wanted to lift up the golden juice and pour it down the wall.
But before they could throw out what they were holding, the white lotus flower that originally wrapped the chariot bloomed in an instant.
I saw the white lotus flashing, and countless water droplets splashing around.
The drop of water seemed to be of great weight. Countless walls and soldiers touched by the drop of water immediately turned into powder at the slightest contact.
There was a roar, and under the rolling smoke, the gate of Zhouren's West Village disappeared, and a gap more than ten feet wide appeared in its place.
The more than a hundred defenders at the gate were buried under the dust, with corpses strewn across the field in a mess.
"kill!"
After breaking through the gate of the camp with one blow, Yang Jing looked at the panicked Zhou people around him and couldn't help laughing. Then he drove his chariot towards a place in front where there were more Zhou people.
Seeing this murderous god coming, there was obvious commotion in the surrounding area.
However, under the pressure of military law, even though they knew they were about to die, these soldiers did not disperse directly. Instead, they continued to hold on with a look of resignation.
Yang Jing didn't care at all.
It would be better for these Zhou people not to retreat.
When he rushes closer, he can kill more, and it won't take much effort anyway.
Seeing the chariot galloping, Yang Jing plunged into the array, and then the white lotus bloomed, bringing with it a burst of blood mist.
Amidst countless screams, the array of people around them finally collapsed.
At the same time, the thousands of soldiers who rushed in with Yang Jing also poured into the camp through the gap he opened.
Fight with those shaken Zhou soldiers.
Judging from the current situation, if there are no more reinforcements, it will only be a matter of time before the camp here is breached.
"The commander of the Yue people's siege is an innate master. Go and ask the general for help!"
In the camp, Wei Yan was hiding in the crowd of thousands of soldiers. Looking at Yang Jing who was killing everyone, his eyes suddenly burst into tears and he shouted to the guards around him.
When the guard heard this, he also looked flustered and left in a hurry.
After a while, the news spread to the city.
Gui Lianyun, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up immediately when he heard the report: "It is indeed Yang Jing. All the officers and men obey the order and follow me to the west city to rescue General Wei."
In an instant, the five thousand elites who had been prepared followed Gui Lianyun and headed towards the West City.
The military situation was like a fire, and in just a short moment, they arrived at the gate of the West City.
However, at this time, another horse was seen flying hastily from the south of the city.
"Report to the general that a Yue army has appeared in the south of the city, led by a woman who is good at using poison gas and killed hundreds of people with a wave of her hand.
General Zheng guessed that this should be the demon girl Lan Cai'er of the Five Poison Sect.
This is an innate master, and it is difficult for Dazhai in the south of the city to resist, so the general is requested to rescue him quickly. "
The cavalryman was lying on the ground, his voice was trembling, and looking at his panic, he was obviously frightened by the innate witch he was talking about.
"Lan Cai'er?"
When Gui Lianyun heard the news, his eyes suddenly darkened, but he knew in his heart that he had encountered the worst situation.
What came over was not one innate master, but two.
"We have to fight hard."
Gui Lianyun had this realization in his heart, then turned to look at the cavalryman, and said fiercely: "Tell Zheng Chuang, even if you try your best, you have to stop that Lan Cai'er for half an hour.
In half an hour, I will deal with the enemies in the west city and rush to the south of the city to deal with Lan Cai'er.
Before that, he would support me no matter what. "
Both Yang Jing and Lan Cai'er are new masters who have only made breakthroughs in the past few years.
Although it didn't take long for Gui Lianyun to break through Xiantian, after all, he had more than ten years more than the two of them, and his skills were still deeper.
If he puts all his strength into it, it is not impossible to defeat Yang Jing in half an hour.
But if this is the case, you have to work hard.
Gui Lianyun felt helpless and bitter in his heart.
