Chapter 264 Qizhou Offensive (Thanks to Lan Nifei Mai Wuluti for the huge reward)
Su Ye, who was far away in Cangzhou, received this shocking news just two days later.
Thanks to his Luowang organization, a secret network specializing in intelligence collection and transmission.
Luowang's members are spread all over the place. They use unique methods such as carrier pigeons, secret letters and codes to build an efficient and secret intelligence transmission system.
It is the efficient operation of this system that ensures the timeliness and accuracy of intelligence, allowing Su Ye to respond immediately.
"Alas, he is still dead."
Su Ye put down the information in his hand, his face looking a little puzzled.
Needless to say, these were the people behind the death of King Yan.
Su Ye also got involved.
He personally sent away the King of Fire, who was like a brother to his father.
It's really that this King of Fire is too uncontrollable.
Does the Flame King have the ability?
Have!
Still very capable, it's a pity.
What Su Ye needs now is a mediocre King of Fire.
All we need to do is to keep Daqian's army of hundreds of thousands of troops sent to suppress the rebellion in Yanzhou.
And
"The Northern Frontier should be starting soon."
Su Ye turned his gaze towards the northern border.
Now, the Night King in the northern border suddenly has two ambitious people under his command: Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi.
Moreover, the grasslands in the north are now in chaos because of Su Ye's several attempts to balance the country.
The fight was so intense that the dog's brains were almost beaten out.
Therefore, under the influence of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi.
Now that the foreign threats from the grassland tribes have been eliminated, the Night King is naturally ready to make moves.
"In this case, Cangzhou cannot fall behind."
"The war in Qizhou has dragged on long enough."
"It's time to end."
Su Ye put down the information about the four directions of the Tianwu Continent that Luowang had sent him, and his expression was puzzled.
The 200,000 troops that Li Jing now controls in Qizhou already constitute most of Cangzhou’s military strength.
The others include Pei Yuanqing’s army at Longmen Pass and Yuwen Chengdu’s garrison at Dongling Pass.
Or it could be the White Horse Volunteers, the White Armor Army and Wei Qing's new army.
They can only be regarded as partial teachers.
Originally, according to Li Jing's command ability, there was also Baihu, the ceiling god of war, as well as Sun Wukong, Wu Wenhua and others.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to deal with Qizhou, who can't even muster an ordinary god of war.
It should be a situation that is like a landslide.
But unfortunately, shortly after Li Jing conquered the mountains of Qizhou.
The Tiger King, one of the powerful vassal kings of Dayong not far from Qizhou, was at the request of King Qi.
He also began to officially send a large army to Qizhou to participate in the war.
After receiving support from the Tiger King, Prince Qi began to fortify his city and clear the countryside, acting like a coward.
Relying on the many fortified cities in Qizhou, they put up a stubborn resistance.
In this situation, did Su Ye urge him in a special way?
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Li Jing naturally took it slow and proceeded step by step.
The same goes for Baihu, Sun Wukong and others. Their fighting power has long been no secret in front of Qizhou.
Whenever they appear in a siege, there are always a lot of archers and crossbows shooting at them.
In this kind of siege warfare, the cavalry attack tactics of the White Tiger Cavalry, which the White Tiger is good at, had no place to be used.
Therefore, during this period of time, facing King Qi's rogue tactics.
Baihu and Sun Wukong showed their strength in this endless siege.
There really is no room for improvement.
So Li Jing did not take any further action.
The battle in Qizhou has reached a stalemate, which is obviously not good news for the entire war situation. Su Ye pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.
"Send a message to Li Jing in Qizhou, and tell him to speed up the offensive and capture Qizhou as soon as possible!"
He looked up at the Luowang intelligence officer standing beside him and said in a deep voice.
The intelligence officer took the order and left, and Su Ye's attention returned to the intelligence again.
Once this order is issued, it means that the subsequent battle will become more intense and the casualties under Li Jing's command may increase.
But there is no other way. The situation in Daqian is changing rapidly, and we can no longer allow Cangzhou’s large army to continue to stay in Qizhou.
On the Qizhou battlefield, the night also enveloped the earth.
Li Jing sat in the tent, his brows furrowed, his mind full of thoughts.
The battle report in his hand was heavy, as if carrying the expectations and anxieties of countless soldiers.
He knew very well that the war in Qizhou had been delayed for too long.
But the reasons for this situation are complex and multifaceted.
After receiving support from the Tiger King, Prince Qi gained confidence and adopted the tortoise shell tactics.
Relying on the numerous fortified cities in Qizhou, they put up a desperate resistance.
Although this tactic seems passive, it makes Li Jing and others feel very difficult.
If they really dared to come out and fight Li Jing and the others in the wild.
Even if the opponent brings an army of 300,000, Li Jing is still confident.
Cooperate with Xue Rengui, Baihu and others to defeat them in one battle!
It’s a pity that Prince Qi suffered repeated setbacks in the face of Li Jing, and had completely lost his spirit.
Faced with this situation, Li Jing originally planned to proceed steadily and approach the core area of Qizhou step by step.
However, the city defenses of Qizhou were strong and the defenders were determined to resist, which made the offensive of the Cangzhou army progress slowly.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Li Jing had to slow down the pace of attack, which also led to a stalemate in the war.
At this time, the messenger hurried into the tent and handed Su Ye's order to Li Jing.
"The Lord has begun to urge us to speed up the offensive. It seems that we need to change our tactics."
After reading the order, Li Jing took a deep breath and said to Baihu, Sun Wukong and others beside him.
The generals nodded in agreement.
"We've already spent too much time here."
"It's time to crack open the turtle shell of Qizhou!"
Baihu stood up first, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"We should have done this a long time ago! We can't keep the lord and the others waiting too long!"
Sun Wukong also stood up eagerly, waving the golden cudgel in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Alright! Then we will launch a full-scale attack! Notify the entire army and get ready. At dawn tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale attack on all major cities!"
Li Jing smiled slightly and nodded.
An army of two hundred thousand would form a sea of people when spread out.
As the commander-in-chief, Li Jing would naturally not put all of them in one city as cheerleaders.
Therefore, in addition to Li Jing's main force.
Several surrounding cities were also included in Li Jing's attack range.
Xue Rengui and Qin Qiong led the siege.
As Li Jing's order was issued, all the generals responded in unison and left the tents to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
Li Jing looked at the map in his hand and took a deep breath.
The night gradually faded away and the dawn appeared on the horizon.
Outside Qizhou City, the Cangzhou army has made comprehensive preparations.
Li Jing was wearing armor and holding a long sword, standing in front of the formation.
His eyes were firm and sharp, as if he could see through the city walls and see everything in the city not far away.
Following Li Jing's order, the sound of war drums rang out deafeningly.
The Cangzhou army rushed towards the enemy city of Qizhou like a torrent, and the shouts were so deafening that it seemed to shake down the city walls.
