During the march, there are usually one hundred people per flag, and two hundred flags can give the illusion of twenty thousand people. Coupled with the deliberately forged Yang family flags, if twenty thousand silver-armored troops really came to support, it would be strange for the Jing army not to be afraid.
Huang Youyun felt more and more satisfied that his two to three hundred men actually frightened the enemy into defeat.
Yang Yunfei praised the clever plan, and Mu Chengfeng also showed appreciation and couldn't help but look at Lin Miaocai.
It's just that this person's life is as delicate as a woman's, and he looks lazy. He doesn't look like a shrewd person in any way. However, this person only used a bluff to defuse the siege of the competing army.
Yang Yunfei was about to settle everyone, but Lin Miaocai said: "Don't worry, the Jingguo people are not stupid. Such tricks will not cure the root cause. I'm afraid it won't be hidden for long, and the crisis facing Xiegu Town will not be solved yet."
"Does Mr. Lin have any other plans?"
"I can't guess that in one day, Jingjun will guess that we are bluffing this time. It was a bluff the first time, but it may not be the next time. General Yang, I wonder how many defenders there are in Xiegu Town? How many silver armors are there? military?"
"There are still 7,000 defenders, of which less than 2,000 are silver-armored troops."
"When it gets dark, I ordered the Silver Armored Army to put on the Jingjun Army's armor and quietly ambush near the Jingjun Army's camp. When the Jingjun Army attacks the city again, they will sneak attack the military camp and destroy its food and grass, killing each other unexpectedly. We will first be false and then be real. The Jingjun know that we If I deceived them this time, they would be so angry that they would raise their troops and attack Xiegu in one go. They would not have thought that we would come back with another trick to drain the fire."
"But if this is the case, how can Xiegu Town withstand the siege of the Jing army?"
"Attack the city? If they dare to attack the city, they will not retreat today. Even if they find out that they have been tricked, they are not sure about the situation in the city. They only need to let the soldiers in the city put on the equipment of the Silver Armor Army and stand on the city wall, and then put the Flying Eagle The flags are full. When the time comes, I will open the city gate wide, and General Yang only needs to stand guard in front of the city gate, and they will not dare to attack the city."
"This is to make me stage an empty city strategy."
"I wasn't sure at first, but when I saw the enemy commander running away today, I knew how much he was afraid of the Yang family. The more confident General Yang is, the more guilty he will be."
"Although it is risky, it is indeed a good strategy." Su Wenfang replied after thinking about it.
"In that case, why don't I lead the Silver Armored Army to steal the camp." Mu Chengfeng said.
"It would be great if Brother Mu is willing to go."
Immediately, he ordered the deputy general and the Silver Armored Army to follow Mu Chengfeng quietly out of Xiegu Town.
Ever since Lin Miaocai and others arrived, Su Wenfang had been paying close attention to him. This man seemed to have a playful smile and no seriousness, but in fact, he had already calculated every step of the next step before he came again. He never expected that there was such a talented person in the Hao Kingdom that he had never heard of. Cheese. It's just that he is obviously handsome and handsome, but he doesn't have any vitality at all. He doesn't look like a well-read man at all, but like a playboy.
Lin Miaocai didn't pay much attention to Su Wenfang and others. He just discussed with Chen Mobai in the house what to do after the siege of Xiegu was resolved.
"How is your relationship with Na Mu Chengfeng?"
"It's quite familiar. Brother Mu once helped me and he is considered a friend."
"This person may be of use to you in the future."
"For my use?"
"Yang Yunfei and Su Wenfang are shackled by the imperial court and cannot help us much. Mu Chengfeng is different. If he can take charge of the Mu family in the future, it will be more convenient to work with him, but I don't know if he can successfully take over the Mu family's title."
"Brother Mu is free and smart, and his martial arts skills are also good. He can be considered brave and resourceful."
Lin Miaocai sneered when he heard this.
"Maybe you're not familiar with him yet."
"I laughed at him because he wasn't smart enough. The Youzhou garrison has never reinforced Xiegu, and the Mu family is in Youzhou. Once the news about him helping Yang Yunfei in Xiegu gets out, how will the Mu family deal with it?"
"The Twelve Marquises were held hostage by the Zhenbei Army?"
"I don't agree, but it's another matter to openly oppose General Zhenbei. Moreover, the next head of the Mu family will choose one of the three young masters. Mu Chengfeng is the one who has high hopes. If it is because of the Xiegu incident, If the Mu family is in danger, then the dispute over the head of the family may no longer have anything to do with Mu Chengfeng."
"He may not have thought of what you said."
"Of course he doesn't know it. Otherwise, instead of calling it Xizhou Tips Bag, it would be more like calling it a Wine Bag and Rice Bag. It's just that he has already made a choice. It's just right. Only by helping him when the time comes can we build a relationship."
"You have been living in Qingsong Villa, how can you know so many things outside?"
"The teacher often talks nonsense to me."
"Isn't your teacher always out?"
"Who said I only have one teacher?"
Chen Mobai looked at Lin Miaocai again, feeling that he couldn't see or feel clearly.
Wu Yuan retreated thirty miles and set up camp, but for most of the day he received no information about the Yinjia Army from Xiegu Town. He guessed that he had fallen into a trick, so he couldn't help but cursed and ordered to turn back that night and attack Xiegu Town again.
Wang Tong, the deputy general next to him, comforted him: "General, don't be angry. This little trick is just delaying it for a day and a half. I think Yang Yunfei is at the end of his rope. Since he has withdrawn his troops, it is better to have a good night's rest and try his best to capture Xiegu Town early tomorrow morning."
Wu Yuan thought it was reasonable and did not need to be angry for a while. He had just withdrawn his troops and turned back to attack the city. The soldiers were tired and it was not conducive to attack Xiegu early the next morning.
All night long, Xiegu Town was on high alert to beware of night attacks. The lights in Yang Yunfei's mansion were brightly lit, and everyone was still making various preparations.
"If you want to delay the competition, I'm afraid the general will have to work hard and take some risks tomorrow." Su Wenfang suddenly said with concern.
Yang Yunfei replied without hesitation: "Mr. Su, you have been fighting the enemy hand in hand with me for nearly two years. Just tell me what countermeasures you have."
Su Wenfang nodded and said: "Tomorrow the general will still have to shout at the enemy outside the city and deal with the enemy general. The more provocative he is, the less likely the enemy will dare to attack. The longer we delay, the greater our chances will be."
"I also have this intention. When they come, I will have a taste of the power of Yang's gun."
Lin Miaocai answered listlessly: "Tomorrow, after the general leaves the city, we will open the city gate. The general only needs to ridicule the opponent vigorously and just pick out the ugly words. No one in the country can compare with one of your fingers, even the six generals and seven A general or something like that can collapse to death if he farts, and so on."
"Uh, that's about it." Su Wenfang said with a smile.
Early on the next morning, Yang Yunfei came to wait outside the city gate before the competing troops could approach.
When Wu Yuan saw that the city gate was wide open and Yang Yunfei was the only one standing in front, he asked loudly: "Yang Yunfei! What tricks do you want to play again? If you are ready to surrender, get off your horse and crawl in front of me."
Yang Yunfei raised his voice and said, "Aren't we going to take Xiegu Town? The city gate will be opened today to welcome you and others into the city."
"Are you going to play the empty city strategy today?"
"What? Are the Jingguo army afraid of this small Xiegu Town?"
"What a joke! After all this time, you think I don't know that the number of soldiers left in your city is no more than ten thousand at most, and even the Yang family's silver-armored army will not help."
"General Wu is indeed very good at predicting events. Yes, there are indeed not many soldiers and horses in the city, but even so, he has not been able to capture Xiegu for several months. It seems that there are some incompetent people in Jingguo."
Wu Yuan was about to order an attack on the city when he heard Yang Yunfei shout loudly: "Not only that, you claim to be a fierce general like a cloud, all of them are brave and good at fighting, but when you see me, like a mouse meeting a cat, you turn around and run away. It's really ridiculous."
Wu Yuan's soldiers gritted their teeth after hearing this. Yes, Yang Yunfei had a reputation and was regarded as a god of war by many soldiers from competing countries. However, there were always some dissatisfied or young and energetic generals who had never fought against him and wanted to challenge him.
"General, Xiegu City will be captured today, but Yang Yunfei is too arrogant. If he can be captured, the morale of the entire army will be greatly boosted, and it will also intimidate the Hao Kingdom army."
"Yes, Yang Yunfei is also quite prestigious in the Hao Kingdom army. It is better to capture this man before taking Xiegu to strengthen our army's power."
At this time, the generals under his command asked for battle one after another.
"General, I am willing to go and take Yang Yunfei's head!"
The person who requested the battle was none other than Wu Yuan's deputy general Wang Tong. This man had extraordinary martial arts skills, extraordinary arm strength, and was good at using a pair of fifty-six-pound melon-edged hammers. He prides himself on being born with supernatural powers and has few opponents in the army, and he has the courage to defeat thousands of men.
"Okay! Take down Yang Yunfei and mark the first achievement!"
After receiving the order, Wang Tongce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Yang Yunfei, I am Wang Tong, the general of Jingguo, and I will kill you today!"
Yang Yunfei sneered, clamped his legs, and the war horse faced the opponent like an arrow from the string.
The two faced each other without any tests, and they fought with silver spears and bronze hammers for more than fifty rounds, with neither victory nor defeat.
"Something capable." Yang Yunfei praised.
"You are indeed extraordinary for being able to fight me so far."
After dozens of rounds, every time the gun and hammer collided, Yang Yunfei would retreat half a point, showing a slightly struggling expression. Wang Tong was overjoyed when he saw this, and secretly thought that Yang Yunfei could fight me back and forth for nearly a hundred rounds. He did have some strength, but because he was not as strong as himself, he began to lose ground once the battle lasted for a long time.
Eager to achieve success, Wang Tong's offensive became increasingly fierce. Yang Yunfei began to notice weakness, and he also deliberately avoided the opponent's strength in his attacks.
The two fought until they were about one hundred and fifty, and Yang Yunfei feinted a shot and turned around to leave. Wang Tong was not willing to let him go, so he quickly caught up with him. When they were about to get close, Yang Yunfei swung his carbine back and stabbed the opponent in the heart. Wang Tong had no time to react and was shot off his horse.
Yang Yunfei held on to the reins and fired another shot before returning to his horse, killing Wang Tong completely.
"This man is just a brave man, nothing to fear."
In the battle formation, Wang Tie saw his brother die in battle. Yang Yunfei fought for more than a hundred rounds and shouted: "Kill my brother, and I will take your life!" After saying this, he clapped his horse and stepped forward.
Yang Yunfei was not in a hurry, just waiting on the spot for the other party to come forward and fight.
The two fought for more than a hundred rounds. Yang Yunfei got out of the way of the opponent's mountain axe, stabbed Wang Tie in the armpit with a spear, and lifted Wang Tie off his horse. The head of the spear was turned horizontally and divided the man into two parts.
"Huh...do you only have this ability? Who else dares to fight with me?"
The Jingguo generals saw that Yang Yunfei had already fought for hundreds of rounds and was probably running low on physical strength. Several more people came out one after another.
After a round of battle, it was almost noon, and Yang Yunfei had killed six generals in a row.
Wu Yuan was secretly surprised. Yang Yunfei was indeed very skilled in martial arts. He seemed exhausted from challenging several people in a row, but every time he challenged those who challenged him, they always felt like they were being teased. Moreover, although Yang Yunfei was brave in the past, he was rarely so provocative, but today he was so abnormal. Only when he thought about it did he realize that something was wrong.
"He is delaying on purpose! Attack the city quickly!"
At this moment, someone came to report a fire in the military camp. Wu Yuan looked back and saw black smoke rising from behind. He turned his head and stared at Yang Yunfei fiercely, wishing he could eat him alive.
"The entire army must obey the order and must capture Xiegu today. Anyone who captures Yang Yunfei will be rewarded with 10,000 coins, regardless of life or death!"
Yang Yunfei snorted coldly, pulled the reins and returned to the city gate. Faced with thousands of troops and horses approaching, he stood guard in front of the city like a god of war.
As the Jingguo army approached the city gate, the remaining few thousand defenders in the city rushed out and formed a defensive formation behind Yang Yunfei. Su Wenfang had already sent a signal to Mu Chengfeng and others in the rear on the city, telling them to cut into the enemy's formation from the rear.
"Let's go help too." Chen Mobai whispered in Lin Miaocai's ear.
"This is a battlefield, and it is not comparable to the fighting between sects in the world. You should stay here."
"I'm not negotiating with you."
Lin Miaocai was speechless for a moment, sighed, and said helplessly: "You should also go and help, and pay attention to safety."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Mobai and Qingyu immediately jumped down from the city wall, releasing their true energy in mid-air. The moment they landed, the powerful concussion of true energy knocked the approaching Jingjun off their backs.
"kill!"
Yang Yunfei shouted and charged into the enemy army first.
Wherever the silver spear passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Even if he was trapped in a tight siege, he was still the Hao Kingdom's divine general who made the competing armies tremble.
"It's a pity that General Yang is a generation of talented people."
Su Wen stood on the city wall and looked at the battlefield with regret.
"It's a pity that he is too rigid and doesn't know how to adapt, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive." Lin Miaocai said leisurely.
"Listening to Mr. Lin, do you think today's situation is not a dead end?"
Lin Miaocai looked up at the scorching sun, seeming a little worried, and then said: "It's hard to say, it just depends on how long he can hold on."
Seeing that he didn't speak clearly, Su Wenfang didn't ask any more questions, but judging from the brief contact, he seemed to be confident.
On the battlefield, Wu Yuan saw that Yang Yunfei's intimidation was too strong, so he prepared to use archers to release arrows. Regardless of the enemy or friend, as long as Yang Yunfei could be killed, Xie Gu would be within easy reach.
At the critical moment, Mu Chengfeng and his lieutenants finally returned with the Silver Armor Army, and went around to the side of the competing army to fight out.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow! Kill Yang Yunfei first!" Wu Yuan ordered anxiously.
At this time, Chen Mobai and Qingyu suddenly appeared in front of the archers, and their two short blades swept across the enemy army like a maze, bringing out countless blood flowers.
"General Yang, hold the city gate while we capture the enemy general." Chen Mobai shouted to Yang Yunfei.
"Be careful, both of you."
Chen Mobai had no time to worry about Yang Yunfei at the moment. The infantry of the Jingjun army had already surrounded him and Qingyu, setting up shields to form an iron barrel formation.
"Qingyu, I will open a way for you to get out."
"Um."
After saying that, Chen Mobai urged Zang Yue to slash the shields of the people close to him. He originally wanted to use the power of his true energy to open a gap, but he didn't know that Zang Yue was so powerful and cut the shields he crossed like tofu.
Compared with the setting sun, the sharpness of the broken moon is not much better. With the divine weapon in hand, Chen Mobai instantly felt like a divine help, no longer afraid of the compression of the shield array.
"Walk."
With the help of Broken Moon's sharpness, he forced his way out. Qingyu's figure was agile, and he quickly rushed out of the siege with the help of Chen Mobai's cover, and flew toward Wu Yuan.
The cold light of the dagger passed by and was caught with his bare hands.
"Just the two of you, you still want to carry out a beheading operation?"
As a general, Wu Yuan could not sit back and wait for death.
The soft leather-like weapon wrapped around his hand was difficult to cut. Wu Yuan held the dagger tightly and tugged hard, causing Qing Yu to lose his focus.
Qingyu immediately let go of her hand, used the strength to jump behind the opponent, deftly caught the dagger thrown by Wu Yuan, and turned around to kill him again.
Wu Yuan also saw that this little girl was no ordinary person, so he immediately became serious, drew out his saber and started fighting with Qingyu.
Qingyu, who was born as a killer, was not good at facing the enemy head-on, but Wu Yuan was not only strong in kung fu, but also protected by heavy armor. It was difficult for Qingyu's dagger to break through the thick armor, but was suppressed by the opponent's strength.
"Little girl, this is the first time I've seen someone go to the battlefield with a dagger. With such a thing, you want to kill me?"
Qingyu was about to jump up, but Wu Yuan grabbed her ankle with a big hand.
"Women should stay at home and remember not to come to the battlefield to die in the next life."
Wu Yuan smiled sinisterly and slashed at the waist with his sword.
hiss.
At the critical moment, the cold light flashed across Wuyuan's sword and split it into two. Before Wu Yuan could see the person clearly, he was hit hard by three punches in succession.
Chen Mobai grabbed Qingyu and pulled him to his side and said, "Are you okay?"
"He's a bit powerful, I can't beat him."
"give it to me."
Wu Yuan was forced to retreat. He knew that this man was much more capable than the woman just now, so he did not dare to take risks. He retreated to the back and wanted to kill the two of them using the human sea tactic.
At this time, Mu Chengfeng finally reached a place close to Chen Mobai and said hurriedly: "You two, follow me and retreat to meet General Yang. We are outnumbered and it is difficult to disperse to fight the enemy."
At Yang Yunfei's place, the deputy general has also brought the Silver Armor Army to support him. Although several people joined forces, they were still outnumbered in the face of 100,000 enemy troops.
"Sorry, I couldn't take down the general." Chen Mobai said.
"Wu Yuan's martial arts skills are not bad, there is no need to blame yourself."
"General Yang, is there still a way to stop the enemy?"
Yang Yunfei hesitated and said: "Given the difference in strength between the enemy and ours, we can only delay it for a while."
"If you can delay it, there may be a turning point."
"Everyone listens to the order and shrinks the defense line to the city gate and sets up the Xuanwu Formation."
The soldiers received instructions and quickly retracted their defense line. A team of a hundred or ten people formed a semicircular defensive formation with shields outwards. There were long spears protruding from the gaps in the shields. From a distance, they looked like dozens of spiny turtle shells.
The front and rear rows of the Xuanwu Formation move sideways in a staggered manner. Once the enemy approaches, they will be knocked down by spears, or they will be caught off guard by someone who suddenly emerges from the "turtle shell". All the bows and arrows were blocked by the turtle shells made of shields, making it impossible for the competing troops to attack for a while.
"Oh? The Xuanwu Formation in the Four Elephants Formation." Lin Miaocai said with some approval.
"Mr. Lin, do you know this formation?"
"I heard that this formation evolved from the Turtle Shell Formation and the Long Snake Formation. It plays the main role of cover and defense in the Four Elephant Formation. I just didn't expect that Xiegu's soldiers could be trained to this level, and it seemed to be a little different. "
"Sir, you are indeed well-informed. Su also sharpened his skills in battle, so he simplified and changed some."
"Don't take it for granted. This is the first time I've seen this Xuanwu Formation used in actual combat."
"However, this Xuanwu Formation can only last for a while."
Su Wenfang was still waiting for Lin Miaocai to reply, but he saw him looking at the Xuanwu Formation below with relish, without any thought of what to do next.
"Pull up the catapults and heavy crossbows, and let me see how hard the turtle shell is. The chariots follow my orders and charge."
For a time, huge flying stone crossbows filled the sky, and the Xuanwu Formation showed a tendency to disintegrate.
"Hold on!"
Even though Yang Yunfei continued to encourage his own soldiers, after all, it was always impossible to stop the repeated attacks of these heavy equipment with manpower.
Seeing that the Xuanwu Formation was incomplete, Wu Yuan immediately ordered the chariots to go into battle. The wheels of the chariot are equipped with spikes with spikes, which are extremely lethal. If you are injured by the spikes on the chariot, you will still be missing an arm and a few legs.
The speeding chariots were rolling in. Yang Yunfei had no time to reorganize the Xuanwu formation, so he ordered everyone to use shields to form a human wall. The people behind resisted the people in front, waiting for the chariots to approach and fight to the death.
