"kill--"
Under the command of Dongfang Jing, more than 30,000 Shu troops launched a surprise attack at night. Liancheng, which was originally lightly defended, was even less able to fight back under the night raid. In addition, the people on guard were mostly ordinary county soldiers. Seeing the enemy's strength, they all fled the city wailing.
The Liancheng general ran even more exaggeratedly, with a paunchy look, and was reluctant to leave behind the gold and silver items he had plundered. Before he could run a few more steps in the carriage, he was shot to death by several flying arrows in the carriage. .
Just waiting for the war to calm down a bit, Dongfang Jing sat on the city wall and looked into the distance in silence.
There is no problem with the strategy. The next step is to defend Liancheng.
Of course, we should also write back to Yu Wen, asking him to withdraw the restraining army, and then transfer the entire Pingman camp into the city to work together to defend the city. Beware that after Lidu City became an isolated city, the army in the city fought with trapped beasts and took advantage of the chaos to invade Western Shu.
"Little military advisor, there are many people in the city who have spontaneously mobilized to help us repair the city gates." A guard came over happily.
Dongfang Jing also looked happy when he heard the sound.
"My lord Renyi, when we first besieged the Demon Queen, we helped many people. We are greatly benefited by your lord."
With the participation of civilian husbands, repairing the city gates will probably go faster. Now, all we have to do is wait for Dongling to receive this bad news.
…
As Dongfang Jing said.
After crossing the river, Zuo Shiren had just stood on the ground in Lingzhou when he suddenly received the bad news. After seeing the secret message clearly, he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Qi De, Kang Zhu, you two, take a look!"
Ling Su and Kang Zhu, who had returned with the army, looked shocked after reading the secret letter. No one could have imagined that the lame man would be so bold and forcibly built a siege, forcing Lidu City into an isolated city.
Zuo Shiren raised his head and glanced at Kang Zhu. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't scold him.
"There are still two or three months of food and grass in Li Du City. Don't worry, my lord, as long as we can break through the siege within two or three months, there will be no problem." Kang Zhu thought for a while and comforted him.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he was extremely anxious. When leaving Lidu City, he was worried about losses and stationed all his troops in the city.
At that time, I just felt that if the lame man could not capture Lidu City, then he would have no chance.
"The lame man Dongfang Jing's intelligence is no less than that of the poisonous owl." Ling Su also frowned, "If we take Liancheng in a roundabout way, then as long as we stay there, we will block the way for our Dongling army to enter Cangzhou. Stone. Moreover, it can also cut off the food route and cut off the retreat route of Li Ducheng's army."
"The land route is not possible, how about the water route? After all, our Dongling Navy is the best in the world." Zuo Shiren said solemnly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the navy from Western Shu has taken advantage of this opportunity to reach the river area of Cangzhou."
Previously, in order to support Zuo Shiren, Kang Zhu had already taken away most of the navy's troops. It takes a lot of effort to regroup.
"The original rebellion in Wuzhou, I guess, will rush to join Dongfang Jing soon after receiving the news of Liancheng's attack."
"This strategy is really killing three birds with one stone."
Zuo Shiren was irritated when he heard this. He just wanted a solution now. The other soldiers in Li Du City can still say that if there is a problem with the fifty thousand mountain camp, what will Dongling use to fight for the world in the future.
"The war has been defeated, and the number of soldiers has dropped sharply. If you follow my suggestion, my lord will no longer need to worry about gains and losses, and directly promise the South China Sea Alliance. If they are willing to join forces, they will give half of Cangzhou as a gift!" Ling Su said every word.
"This..." Zuo Shiren was shocked, "Qi De means to send half of Cangzhou out?"
"The lame man's capture of Liancheng means that he wants to occupy the entire Cangzhou. If my lord wants to, rather than being occupied by Western Shu, it is better to take advantage of the South China Sea League. When the time comes, the South China Sea League will really come, and it can also become the leader of Dongling. Western Barrier.”
I have to say that Ling Su's plan was good, but unfortunately, it was a step too late. While Zuo Shiren and the other three were discussing, not long after, several men and horses returning from the South China Sea brought another piece of bad news.
"What! Deng Yu was imprisoned in the sky prison! The states in the South China Sea have decided to join forces with Xi Shu!" Zuo Shiren's voice trembled.
He originally thought that after returning to Dongling, he should be able to live in peace for a while. But who would have thought that things had already gone so bad.
"Xu Buyi, he is preparing for the camp step by step, and his plans are endless." Ling Su gritted his teeth, "At this time, if the lord wants to save Li Ducheng, there is only one way. Use the elite navy to defeat Dou Tong of Xishu, and then go ashore. Cangzhou, rendezvous with the Shanyue Camp in Lidu City. If we can successfully rendezvous, we will take the opportunity to invade Western Shu."
Ling Su said with great difficulty. He discovered one thing, no matter what strategy he used, it always seemed to be an afterthought, being led by the nose by the people in Xishu.
Kang Zhu was beside him, also looking silent. Although this decision was successful, it was also a serious mistake. After thinking about it, he clasped his fists and stepped out.
"Lord, I am willing to give up my merits and lead the navy to attack Cangzhou and rescue Lidu City!"
This is what Zuo Shiren was waiting for. In the entire Dongling, except for Kang Zhu in front of him, there was almost no one available to him. Thinking back to the beginning, he had many civil servants and military generals, and counselors like Rong Lu, although not as famous as the world-famous counselors, could occasionally come up with little tricks.
But now, in the bottom of his heart, there is always a feeling of betrayal and alienation, lingering in his heart.
"Kang Zhu, there are still 40,000 navy troops and more than 3,000 warships on the river. I will leave them all to you... You should know what the 50,000 mountain camp means to me, Dongling."
"Within two months, no matter what method you use, I must rescue Li Ducheng! In addition, I will also attack Liancheng on the other side of Liancheng and cooperate with you. I have always known that you Kang Zhu can not only conquer the mountains and forests He is an expert in water warfare!"
"Kang Zhu, defeat Xi Shu, I, Zuo Shiren, am waiting for your general name to become famous in thirty states in the world!"
Kang Zhu's face was excited, and without any hesitation, he issued a military order and handed it to Zuo Shiren. Then, he said goodbye, got on his horse alone, and hurried towards the dock.
Zuo Shiren raised his head, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
Unable to capture Kezhou, the South China Sea Alliance surrendered to Western Shu. Even half of Cangzhou was about to fall into the hands of Western Shu. There was also Miao Tong's defection and Fefu's death... He seemed to have lost this battle. There are too many.
If the west land of Cangzhou is really lost, Xu Buyi’s Xishu will be integrated with Kezhou. How can we fight against this huge military power in the future?
"I think back to the beginning, when I, Zuo Shiren, the leader of the world alliance, had 50,000 mountain overrun camps, 70,000 Dongling soldiers, and Qi De's 30,000 grain king army. I only thought that I, Dongling, would sweep the world. Capture Kezhou within the month."
"But I never thought——"
Zuo Shiren raised his head and closed his eyes, his whole body shivering in the river wind.
