Volume Two: Winds and Clouds in Kyoto Chapter 353: Besiege and Build Mountains

Fengtian City, Zhongping County City.

The Eastern Rebel Army Base Camp, but only 50,000 rebel army stationed here.

Although there are only 50,000 troops, these 50,000 troops were carefully selected, and the combat effectiveness of Marshal Pingtian's 200,000 troops cannot be compared.

The commander of this Eastern Army was Zuo Shizun of the traitor army, and he was stationed in Fengtian City.

After Marshal Pingtian suffered a defeat, he returned to Fengtian City without rest and told Zuo Shizun why he failed.

When Zuo Shizun heard that someone in the Beijing army could actually control the soldiers of the Fearless Army, his first reaction was that he did not believe it.

But then, the news that Marshal Jintian was killed by the Beijing army came again.

This forced Zuo Shizun to believe it.

Next, he will face the Beijing army that had just defeated him. After all, they defeated the troops of the two marshals, and the next step would be to come to Zhongping County.

"Mr. World-Honored One, it's not that I'm incompetent. The main reason is that the Fearless Army is controlled by the other party. The other people's combat effectiveness is simply not comparable to the Beijing Army." Marshal Pingtian was still defending Zuo World-Honored One.

After hearing the news that Marshal Jintian was killed in battle, he was afraid that the commander of the Eastern Route Army would take his anger on him. After all, if he did not retreat, Marshal Jintian might not die.

At that time, the Great Lord Tianyuan also praised Marshal Jintian, saying that he was the number one warrior in the uprising army.

Now that the No. 1 Warrior has been killed, it’s hard for him not to be afraid!

Just as Zuo Shizun was about to speak, a middle-aged man in his thirties shook Marshal Pingtian back.

Marshal Pingtian immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man behind Zuo Shizun speaking.

Because he knew that Zuo Shizun obeyed the man in front of him, and their original plan of siege was also the man's work.

Sure enough, Zuo Shizun obeyed the man's words, waved his hand, and asked Marshal Pingtian to retreat.

After Marshal Pingtian retreated, the man behind him spoke.

"Now the ability of the Fearless Army has been cracked. Although the number of Beijing troops is not much different, it is not much different from the troops stationed in Fengtian City, but in terms of combat effectiveness, we are still slightly inferior!"

Zuo Shizun nodded, "What should you do in your opinion?"

"Retreat from Fengtian City, you cannot confront them head-on. Pingtian and their 200,000 people dispersed. Those are all mobs, but Fengtian City's 50,000 are all elite forces and cannot be consumed here!"

"If you retreat, the Beijing army will definitely chase you!" Zuo Shizun hesitated.

Once they retreat, the Beijing army will advance, and there will inevitably be a battle!

"It's a pity that there is no news for the people sent to Hengyuan Plain in Tianfu County, otherwise we can retreat there! We can only retreat to the three counties at present and join forces with the Western Route Army to curb this group of Beijing troops!"

Hearing this, Zuo Shizun was a little unhappy.

The Western Route Army is the power of the Right World Master. If the real move is to rise, the Western Route Army will definitely be stronger than the Eastern Route Army, but he cannot do anything and run to the territory of the Western Route Army to seek protection from the other party!

If this is spread, he, the Eastern Army, would have no face.

Thinking of this, Zuo Shizun refused directly and said, "Walking towards the direction of the Western Army will only cause ridicule from the Western Army. Since the Great Lord handed me over this side, I naturally have to defend every inch of land! Zhongping County is not easy to get

, If I give it to them so easily, I will not give up!"

After Zuo Shizun finished speaking, the man frowned and then sighed.

"Okay, since you insist on staying, I won't say anything, but the Beijing army is coming in full force, just in case, we must send a letter of help to the West Route Army. At this time, don't care about East Route West Route, as long as

If you defeat the imperial army, the subsequent things will be much easier!"

When Zuo Shizun heard this, he knew that he could not refuse any more.

Although this man is not a member of their thief army, he can't afford to offend this man's background. In addition, the other party is just in the form of a staff member. People like them who have never fought a war in their half-life can have a good idea.

The guidance of war can be much easier.

Finally, Zuo Shizun agreed to the man's request for help.

Next, Zuo Shizun lay down the ground and cleared the fields at the man's advice.

Seeing that the ripe grain crops were harvested, Zuo Shizun's heart was bleeding. These crops would mature in the first half of the month. Then they would be the grain with plump fruits, and they were now shriveled and thin, which was really a waste!

But according to men, when the Beijing army arrives, these plump food will become the food for the Beijing army, and then it will be the most dangerous for them!

When he thought of this, Zuo Shizun immediately ordered that all the crops be cleaned up, and all the crops could be taken away outside Fengtian City, and the house could not be demolished and burned. If any well was buried directly, all the people outside Fengtian City would be moved into the city.

The landlords and wealthy families outside the city have long been looted.

It doesn't look like an uprising army, it's more like a bandit!

Actually, there is nothing wrong with being called a bandit!

When the 50,000 Beijing troops arrived at Fengtian City, there was only one lonely city within a radius of a hundred miles!

Seeing this scene, Huang Zhang narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that there are experts in the traitor army!"

Suo Yan was also shocked by the scene in front of him. Although he knew that this group of thieves would definitely not do good things, he did not expect that they could plunder the ground cleaner than locusts. This was outrageous.

Fortunately, there were some tributes from the army, but the surrounding trees were either burned or cut down, and they could not make any equipment to attack the city for a while.

Liao Jie was the first to lead the troops to the city of Fengtian to call, but after calling for a while, he was back!

"Your Highness, General, the last general called under Fengtian City for a long time, but no one of the thieves responded!"

The thief's reaction was also expected by Huang Zhang.

After all, if you can be so strong that you can clear the world, it will be a bit troublesome to expect them to come out to fight.

"Immediately encircle Fengtian City, don't let a thief go!"

"Let's wait!" Huang Zhang suddenly stopped.

Hearing Huang Zhang stopping, Suo Yan said in confusion: "What's wrong with your highness?"

"Just cover three sides and empty the west side!"

"Why is this?" Soyan said curiously.

However, Cen Shang, who was behind Huang Zhang, immediately understood after hearing Huang Zhang's suggestion and could not help but nodded.

"We can force the rebels to give up Fengtian City and escape westward as long as we are given the pressure! In addition, only surrounding three sides can reduce the rebels' resistance to defending the city to the greatest extent! Give them a chance to give them a chance to

A road is more useful than blocking them!"

"What if the traitor runs away?" Liao Jie said.

"So you need to place a team of ambush outside the West Gate. Once the enemy fled from the West Gate, use ambush to deal with them!"

After hearing this, Suo Yan clapped his hands and said, "It's amazing! In this way, the pressure on us to attack the city will be much less!"

Thinking of this, Suo Yan looked at Huang Zhang with some admiration. He originally thought that this eldest prince had average ability and at most he knew a special drumming technique, but he didn't expect that his brain was so easy to use.

Thinking of this, Suo Yan continued to ask: "Your Highness, the enemy has burned down all the trees and houses outside Fengtian City. It will take a long time to transport wood from afar to make siege equipment. I wonder what your Highness can do quickly.

Is it a way to break the city?"

"The method of breaking the city! I have an idea about this!"

When he heard that Huang Zhang had a solution, Suo Yan immediately became happy. He wanted to hear what Huang Zhang had!

"I just looked around Fengtian City. The terrain is relatively high in the north. If you build a dirt mountain in the north of the city, you can look down at Fengtian City from a high place. At that time, you can send troops to attack the north of the city, and then shoot arrows from the dirt mountain outside the city to the city wall.

You will achieve twice the result with half the effort and defeat others with power!"

"Make a mountain of earth?" Suo Yan thought for a while, then made a decision, "Okay, then build a mountain of earth!"

After saying that, Suo Yan asked Huang Zhang again: "Where is your highness who thinks it is best to ambush the ambush?"

Hearing Suo Yan asking another question, Huang Zhang glanced at him.

"In this way, you give me the command of the Beijing Army and let me command it for you. Can you see if it's OK?"

"This..." Suo Yan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"After all, you are the commander of the Beijing Army. Don't let me make decisions on everything. I'm just here to motivate the morale of the army, not here to help you fight! Don't turn the primary and secondary."

After Huang Zhang said this, Suo Yan knew that his behavior just now had been a bit too much, so he hurriedly smiled at Huang Zhang.

"This... I think the eldest prince is very capable. Don't worry, just leave the rest to me. I'll arrange it. Just watch your highness!"

Huang Zhang said something just now and immediately woke up Suoyan. He is the commander of the Beijing Army, but Huang Zhang is not. Although Huang Zhang has the status of a eldest prince, in principle he has no command power. He can express his affection for the eldest prince.

, but the eldest prince must not be allowed to offend the throne and usurp the power, otherwise he will be used by someone who is interested and sent back to the capital, and he, the commander of the capital army, may be beaten down.

In the following days, the Beijing Army strictly implemented the suggestions put forward by Huang Zhang.

First, they surrounded the three gates of Fengtian City in the southeast, north and north, but the west gate was left without any defense.

Then, he built a large-scale earthen mountain in the north of the city, and worked day and night.

Originally, the terrain in the north of the city was higher than that in Fengtian City. Once the earth mountain was repaired, the entire north of the city was blocked by a towering earth mountain. The thief soldiers defending in the north of the city were a little scared when they saw this scene!

When Zuo Shizun saw the movement of the Beijing army, he was also puzzled.

Fortunately, the man in the city is still there, so he won’t run around like a headless fly!

"In recent days, several generals have asked me to break through. The soldiers in the north of the city were scared when they saw the earthen mountain. Do you think we still guard this Fengtian City?"

Zuo Shizun was also afraid, after all, the Tushan Mountain in the north of the city was cultivated higher and higher day by day, and the day when the Tushan Mountain was repaired, it would probably be the day when the Beijing army attacked the city.

It is unknown whether the north of the city can be kept at that time!

When the middle-aged man heard this, he sneered: "Shou, why not? I think I can't see through such a bad trick?"

"What a bad trick?" Zuo Shizun said in confusion.

"Do you know why they surround three sides and leave one side alone?"
