Jizhou, Zhenbeiguan

The tall flags of the Yan Army rustled in the wind, and the rows of bright broadswords on the top of the city seemed to declare to the world the Yan Army's ownership of Zhenbeiguan.

Zhenbeiguan is now completely under the control of the Yan army. The soldiers and people who dared to resist were slaughtered by the Yan army, and corpses were everywhere.

Groups of soldiers poured into Zhenbei Pass from all directions with a majestic momentum. Judging from the military flag format, they should all be elite soldiers with silver falcon flags on a yellow background.

On the open land outside the south gate are siege vehicles, as well as a large number of bamboo ladders, rams and battering rams.

Under the threat of Yan scimitars, thousands of craftsmen worked day and night to reinforce and repair these siege equipment in preparation for the upcoming siege battle.

"Hurry up! Move faster!"

"Don't be lazy!"

"What about you! Move quickly!"

Yan Jun scolded these craftsmen loudly. If you move your hands slightly slowly, you will be whipped on your body.

Who dares to disobey? Then your head will leave your neck the next moment.

Everywhere you look you can see a lively scene.

Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi stood on the city wall, pointing and discussing the arrangements for the upcoming war, quite high-spirited.

The reward that Mu Yun Canglan sent from outside Beiliang Pass has arrived in the army, which is dozens of carts worth of property. Zhou Weiran gave it all to the generals under his command with a wave of his hand.

Over the years, he has understood a truth: gold, silver, jewelry and other things are all empty. As long as you have power and soldiers, you will still be short of silver?

What he wants is not to have a lot of money, but to fight into Liaodong, into Liangdi, and into the city of Liangzhou that he has always dreamed of setting foot in. So he would rather use the money to exchange for the soldiers under him to work harder.

Wanyanbi said softly:

"Judging from the current progress, the army will be able to set off to attack Chifeng City in ten days."

"It's still too slow~"

Zhou Weiran shook his head with some dissatisfaction: "The current situation is to see who can move faster. Every day we delay, the strength of the Chifeng City defenders will increase, and more of us will die."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Wanyanbi said calmly: "Before, when the army invaded Pinghan Road, it had to be fast and kept secret. It was impossible for us to transport a large number of siege equipment to the border in advance to assemble.

The Yan family has contributed a lot to achieving this kind of speed today."

Recently, the Yan family has been in the limelight on Pinghan Road and has completely taken over the power of the Chang family. Although the Yan army massacred cities in many places, they had no intention of occupying these cities. Basically, the direct descendants of the Yan family hold the real power in the local area.

Some general families also turned to the Yan people under the coercion and inducement of the Yan family. Although most of the border people were strong-willed, there were people who were greedy for life and afraid of death everywhere, and there were not a few people who took refuge in the Yan family.

The Yan family knows very well that if they want to really control Pinghan Road, they still have to win over the local powerful people who should be roped in. He also needs capital.

Although Zhou Weiran was a little dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. He looked up into the distance and sneered:

"That King Liang should have received the news by now. I really want to see what kind of expression he will show when he hears the news."

Wanyan Bi frowned slightly: "What we should be more concerned about is what decision the King of Liang will make and whether he will send reinforcements back to Liaodong."

"Even if we send reinforcements, it won't be so fast."

Zhou Weiran said confidently:

"The Liang army is deep in the battlefield of Gyeonggi Province. The two places are nearly a thousand miles apart. The exchange of information and the mobilization of the army will take a month to arrive.

Therefore, Chifeng City must be captured within one month, within one month!"

"I hope~"

Seeing that Zhou Weiran was so confident, Wanyanbi was unwilling to say anything to hurt him, but Wanyanbi always felt that Liang Jun was too unfathomable and anything could happen.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhang hurriedly walked to the two of them and said in a deep voice:

"problem occurs."

"Something happened?" Zhou Weiran asked in confusion: "What happened? The Chang family came back to kill them?"

"No."

Yan Zhang shook his head: "The Ben Lei Cavalry attacked from Chifeng City, harassed our army all the way, and went straight to the southeast."

"The Liang army took the initiative to attack? Heading to the southeast?"

The two were stunned for a while. After a slight hesitation, Zhou Weiran and Wanyan Bi said at the same time:

"Jizhou City?"

Looking southeast from Chifeng City, the only important town is Jizhou City. And it is precisely in Jizhou City that some of the grain and grass supplies captured by the Yan army from the Chang family are stationed, and they are preparing to be transported to Zhenbeiguan one after another.

front.

Therefore, for the Yan army, this Jizhou city is still somewhat important.

"It's weird."

Zhou Weiran's brows furrowed deeply: "At this time, the Liang army dares to take the initiative to attack without holding on to the city? What are these two guys, Xin Ji and Xie Xiaolei, planning?"

After this period of contact, Zhou Weiran also had a good grasp of the situation in Chifeng City. Xin Ji had already rushed to Chifeng City from the front line of Luoyun City to take charge, and the two were considered old rivals.

"It's really interesting."

Wanyan Bi narrowed his eyes and said, "The Liang army is obviously at a disadvantage, yet they dare to invade the hinterland of our army with great fanfare."

"I see!"

Zhou Weiran's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile:

"The Liang Army must still need time to add troops to Chifeng City, so they sent the Thunder Cavalry to attract our army's attention, hoping to delay my army's attack on Chifeng City."

"Well, it's possible~"

Yan Zhang and Wanyan Bi nodded in unison. It seemed that this was the only reason that made sense at the moment.

"Then we just ignore it?" Yan Zhang asked, "Let the Thunder Cavalry attack?"

"of course not."

Zhou Weiran said with a sinister smile: "The Thunder Cavalry and the Yellow-Backed Silver Falcon Banner fought to the death for a day and suffered heavy losses. If we attack again at this time, wouldn't it be meat on our lips?"

Wanyan Bi raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, do you want to eat the Thunder Riders? They have always been known for their long-distance attacks and are very slippery."

"No matter how slippery it is, it's just a half-broken lone army."

Zhou Weiran's face was full of excitement: "As long as the Ben Lei Cavalry is eaten, the Liang army in Chifeng City will no longer have the ability to fight with our army in the field.

Although the Silver Falcon Flag with a yellow background also suffered heavy losses, it still has a strength advantage against the Thunder Cavalry. Tell Zhuoli Batu to set out immediately with the army and rush all the way to cut off the Thunder Cavalry's retreat! Then redeploy some troops.

Guard the main roads from Jizhou to Chifeng City and cut off the Liang army's retreat.

This time we must eat them completely!"

The last time he was defeated at the hands of Ben Leiqi in Chifeng City, Zhou Weiran was still very upset. Now he finally had the chance to take revenge.

"good."

Yan Zhang nodded heavily and added: "I'll go too, no one is more familiar with the terrain of Jizhou than me."

"Okay!" Zhou Weiran's eyes became even more joyful, and he said with a ferocious smile:
Chapter completed!
