Outside Yizhou City.
A large army seemed to be running at a gallop, galloping on the desolate ancient road. The outline of a city appeared in front of it, looming in the smoke.
"drive!"
The leading generals were riding tall horses, looking at the city in front of them.
"Speed up, Yizhou City is ahead."
"The commander-in-chief has an order. Yizhou City must be captured before dark!"
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the surrounding trees shaking violently, and the dull sound of horse hooves sounded from their flanks.
A general frowned slightly and immediately rode out of the formation. Looking at the black cavalry galloping in the distance, his expression suddenly changed: "Enemy attack!"
"Quick, enemy attack!"
"Damn it, Dali's cavalry actually..."
"How can we resist when we are surrounded by wilderness?"
Seeing Da Li's cavalry getting closer and closer, Da Yan's soldiers and horses also formed a shield formation and raised their spears.
"Kill!"
Qu Yan, holding a long spear, took the lead and broke into Da Yan's military formation.
Da Yan's formation was very long. Now facing the cavalry surprise attack on the flanks, it was not deep enough. Qu Yan easily led his troops to cut off Da Yan's troops.
Even though Dali's cavalry is not particularly elite, now facing a tired division that has been attacking for a long distance, the cavalry's advantages are fully utilized.
"Quickly, send out all the scouts and ask the commander for help!"
"promise!"
The fighting started between the ancient road and the wilderness. As the shouts of killing came from the distance, the expressions of Qu Yan and the generals of the Yan army changed. Seeing the flag of Dali flying, Qu Yan showed a smile: " Soldiers, reinforcements are coming, kill them!"
…
On the tower.
Xi Xiongtu couldn't sit still, so he returned to Ning Fan's side again, and said worriedly: "Your Highness, will Da Yan really divide his troops?"
"Um!"
Ning Fan looked at the dynamic military sand table, and the red dots in the direction of Yizhou City continued to disappear, and said with a smile: "Commander Xi, we have won the battle outside Yizhou City. We quickly sent out scouts to pass the order and asked Qu Yan to wipe out all the enemy troops. , quickly return to Liyang City!"
"Did you win?"
"good!"
Ning Fan smiled and said: "Originally, the outcome was still at 70-30, but Yizhou City's reinforcements arrived just in time, with 30,000 soldiers and horses joining in. If Qu Yan still can't win, he will be beheaded!"
"oh!"
Xi Xiongtu ordered the general on the side to summon him, and then asked: "Ma'an City, direction of Chaozhou..."
"Haha, the Yan Army's army has arrived and found three empty cities. It is now moving towards Liyang and will soon enter our ambush circle."
"real?"
"good."
Ning Fan said with a smile: "The hundred thousand troops hidden in Nihe Road will turn back in half an hour, seize Da Yan's retreat in one fell swoop, and attack from both sides with the ambushes lying in wait halfway. The balance of victory is already heading towards We lean.”
"Very good!"
Although Xi Xiongtu didn't know what Ning Fan said, if things were really as he said, Dali would really be close to victory!
"but……"
"If there is bad news, I still need to inform the drama director."
"What bad news?"
"Da Yan's 300,000-strong army is already on its way to Liyang City."
"Um?"
Xi Xiongtu frowned slightly. Now that he had sent 50,000 troops to the east and west sides respectively, and there were only 50,000 troops left in Liyang City, how could he resist the 300,000 fine armors under Yunxi's command?
"Does your Highness have any other clever ideas?"
"No!"
Ning Fan shook his head and said calmly: "Although the Western Region is fighting an ambush battle, Da Yan has an army of 300,000. It's hard to say!"
"Somebody come!"
"exist!"
Xi Xiongtu shouted in a low voice, looked at the generals in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I am commanding you to open the four gates of Liyang City and set up an ambush within the gates with 50,000 soldiers and horses."
"promise!"
…
"tread!"
"tread!"
"tread!"
After a few months, Liyang City was once again surrounded by an army of 300,000 people.
In the wilderness outside the city wall, flags were fluttering and dragon flags were fluttering. Ning Fan looked far away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Dong~"
"Boom!"
The dull sound of war drums sounded on the tower, and Yun Xi and all the Yan Army generals frowned.
"Commander, what on earth is this old guy Xi Xiongtu doing?"
"The city gate is wide open... Another damn empty city strategy?"
A general shouted angrily, but Yunxi frowned and said calmly: "Don't be impulsive. Back then, Zhuge Liang solved a crisis in Liyang City with an empty city."
"But this time, I don't believe this."
"Pass my order to send 30,000 troops into the city!"
"The remaining troops and horses will remain stationary for the time being."
"promise!"
Soon, 30,000 troops marched towards the gate of Liyang City in a mighty manner. On the city tower, Ning Fan said with a smile: "Commander, can you possibly eat these 30,000 troops in one bite?"
"We'll see."
Xi Xiongtu smiled slightly, and Ning Fan gave instructions to the general next to him. A moment later, a table and a pot of tea were placed on the tower, and Ning Fan took out a plate of melon seeds from the system space.
"Xiao Shuai, please!"
"Forehead!"
Xi Xiongtu has gained a better understanding of Prince Dayu in the past two days. He behaves strangely, but he is in control of the situation, but his character is uninhibited and unrestrained.
Apart from anything else, facing hundreds of thousands of troops on the city tower, is it possible for ordinary people to eat melon seeds?
"Kill!"
"Invade Liyang City!"
"Catch Xiongtu alive!"
Thirty thousand troops roared into Liyang City. Inside the city tower, hidden archers set up their bows and arrows one after another. Ambushes from all directions swarmed up, and the dense arrows almost formed a tight network of arrows, falling from the sky!
"There's an ambush!"
"withdraw!"
"Get out quickly!"
"ah!"
Screams rang out one after another, and the Yan army that rushed into the city fell down in pieces.
Ning Fan looked towards the Yunxi army outside the city and sighed with regret: "The rise and fall of the world all depend on the thoughts of the rulers, but it is the people of the countries below, millions of civilians who live and die, and are displaced. "
"In war, there is no winner after all."
"Does His Highness's words have a profound meaning?"
"No!"
Ning Fan shook his head and said softly: "Although I have compassion, I also know that war is the most effective means to safeguard peace. If the goal is not achieved in one battle, more wars will only arise! "
"The world is like this, and it can be changed without human intervention!"
"Xiao Shuai, it's time to close the city gate."
Hearing Ning Fan's reminder, Xi Xiongtu also trembled and shouted: "Send the order, close the city gate."
The Sifang City Gate was re-closed, but Yunxi not far away frowned slightly and said calmly: "Dali...there is something fishy!"
"Although Xixiongtu divided his troops into different cities, there are still 150,000 troops in Liyang City!"
"It's enough to withstand our offensive, so why resort to an empty city?"
…
