Chapter 74: Method of Breaking the City
The Great Yan Dynasty ceased fire!
Ye Jiuxing frowned, but soon he calmed down, as if he had expected it.
Allies are unreliable!
Fortunately, he did not need allies. The reason why he cooperated with the Great Yan Dynasty was to give it a try. If the Great Yan Dynasty launched a crazy attack, the pressure on him along the way would be greatly reduced.
There are also benefits to not attacking!
At least!
No need to worry about being attacked from both sides!
The Great Yan Dynasty had a vast territory, and its borders bordered Changzhou and Xingzhou. If it were invaded when he was fighting fiercely with Dayu, he would be attacked from both sides and might suffer a total defeat.
But if a cooperative relationship is established, it will be different!
At least during the cooperation period, the Great Yan Dynasty would not unilaterally breach the contract or turn against the United States for the sake of national reputation.
As long as the Great Yan Dynasty can be stabilized, Ye Jiuxing will have a greater chance of winning against the Great Yu Dynasty.
If not.
He would not give up Changzhou either.
Ye Jiuxing thought about it and said, "The Dayu Dynasty wants to make peace, and the Dayan Dynasty also has its own selfish motives. While Dayan and Dayu are negotiating, we must capture Wangxing City as soon as possible and eat up the 700,000 troops in the city!"
At this point, Ye Jiuxing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "By then, the Dayu Dynasty will be abolished. Even if the Dayan Dynasty turns against us, we will not be afraid!"
Is the Great Yan Dynasty an enemy?
Not at this time!
But you can treat the Great Yan Dynasty as an imaginary enemy!
Since the Great Yan Dynasty has the potential to endanger the rear area, this hidden danger must be eliminated!
"understood!"
After hearing this, Lu Bing thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Take the enemy's path and leave the enemy with no way to go!"
is it?
Probably the same meaning!
Ye Jiuxing smiled, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Speed up!"
boom!
The speed of the army increased suddenly.
As they circulated their spiritual energy, wisps of cold murderous intent burst out from their bodies, dyeing the green plants on both sides of the mountains red.
If someone stood in the sky and looked down at this moment, they would find a blood dragon with bared fangs and claws appeared between the Taikun Mountains, dividing the mountain range into two.
The next day.
Ye Jiuxing led the army, left the Taikun Mountains, and flew towards Wangxing City.
Since they were marching at full speed and were warriors, their marching speed was extremely fast. It only took them an hour to appear outside a strong pass.
Stargazing City!
Tianzhou Gateway!
As long as they go south from Liangzhou, they must occupy Wangxing City to threaten Yujing City.
In terms of prosperity and wealth, Wangxing City is far inferior to Luojing City, but its strategic position is unmatched by Luojing City.
The city is tall!
There is also a moat for protection!
On both sides, it is connected to branches of the Taikun Mountains, forming an "concave" shape. There are also military camps built on the top of the mountain, which control the dangerous terrain and are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"It's not easy to attack!"
Ye Jiuxing looked around and couldn't help but speak.
Bai Qi retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "To capture Wangxing City, we must first occupy Taicang and Taixian Mountains! And these two mountains are in strategic locations. If any of them is attacked, Wangxing City can rush to help!"
"If we don't remove the two mountains and attack Wangxing City directly, the siege army will be within the attack range of Taicang and Taixian, and it will be a dead end."
The generals frowned when they heard this. It was not easy to occupy the two mountains of Taicang and Taixian!
Also, for good defense.
The vegetation on these two mountains had been cut down long ago, leaving no grass at all. It was bare and there was not even a big rock, leaving no shelter at all.
There is also a formation set up inside the mountain, which is difficult to destroy.
Brief summary.
Wangxing City is like an iron wall with no flaws.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have activated the side quest, occupied Wangxing City, and will be rewarded with thirty years of cultivation and a chance to summon a top Chinese figure! ]
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have activated the side quest. Kill Chu Zhuang and you will be rewarded with 50 years of cultivation and a chance to summon the top Chinese army! ]
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have activated the side quest. Kill the old royal family members and you will be rewarded with a hundred years of cultivation and a chance to summon a peerless hero of China! ]
At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Ye Jiuxing's mind. Three tasks!
As long as you complete it, you will be able to gain 180 years of cultivation, and have two opportunities to summon heroes and China's top legions.
Very generous rewards!
However, it is very difficult to obtain these three rewards!
Ye Jiuxing looked towards Wangxing City with blazing eyes, and asked: "Everyone, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"
The generals looked at each other and started talking among themselves.
After a moment, Xuan Zan said, "When attacking a mountain, we must attack from above. We cannot defeat the enemy easily. The way to defeat the enemy is to cut off the waterway!"
He stretched out his left hand, pointed at Taicang Mountain and said, "The source of water for this mountain is the waterfall that hangs down from the mountainside. As long as we can occupy the mountainside, we can cut off the water source!"
"no!"
Bai Qi shook his head and rejected the idea: "Wangxing City is connected to Taicang Mountain. Even if we occupy the waterfall, the enemy can still get water from Wangxing City!"
Xuan Zan frowned slightly and fell into thought.
"Poison?"
Zhu Wu pondered.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he rejected the idea himself and said, "No, the water is flowing too fast, it may not be effective!"
There is no shortage of water in Wangxing City!
The water source is different every day, so poisoning is completely ineffective.
"Is it possible to just attack by force?"
Lu Junyi frowned and said.
Everyone was silent. No matter how exhausted they were, they could not attack by force.
They are not the Dayu Dynasty, with its vast power and wealth, but only a few hundred thousand troops in total. If there are too many sacrifices, then attacking Wangxing City will be meaningless.
Both sides suffer?
This is not what Ye Jiuxing wants!
What he wanted was a victory, to occupy Wangxing City at a very small cost!
"I have a plan!"
At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was dressed like a clerk, said: "But this plan needs to be implemented at night. We can set up camp first and then discuss it slowly!"
Ye Jiuxing glanced at Zhuge Liang and ordered, "Retreat five miles and set up camp!"
"Uuuuuuuuu~!"
The trumpet sounded.
The army retreated in an orderly manner.
At the same time, in Wangxing City, Chu Zhuang saw the army outside the city withdrawing and a smile appeared on his face. Didn’t he find any flaws?
He was still confident in his defense!
Five miles away.
The army set up camp.
After setting up the central camp, Ye Jiuxing went to find Zhuge Liang and asked for advice on how to defeat the enemy.
Cao Chun, Wu Yong, Lu Junyi and others were also full of curiosity. They looked at Zhuge Liang eagerly, waiting for the latter to answer their questions.
Bai Qi, on the other hand, was sitting on a chair, deep in thought.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said, "Infiltration!"
penetration?
Everyone was shocked.
Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Bing and said with a smile, "The key to whether we can capture Wangxing City lies in the Jinyiwei. Commander Lu, how many Jinyiwei are there with the army?"
Lu Bing replied: "One thousand people!"
"That's enough!"
Zhuge Liang waved his right hand, and spiritual energy surged out, forming a three-dimensional picture of Wangxing City in front of him. He pointed to the waterfall flowing down from Taicang and said, "I have observed that the water source of this waterfall forms the moat of Wangxing City!"
"At the same time, it rains a lot in Tianzhou, and this moat also serves as a drainage channel for Wangxing City!"
"If that's the case, then there must be a passage leading into the city within the moat."
aisle!
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they became interested.
