At noon the next day, Bai Luoqi led 8,000 troops to Yucheng and met up with Liu Yi and Ji Shuang, who had gone to Yucheng in advance to survey the terrain.
After the rendezvous, Bai Luoqi asked the entire army to camp on the spot, and then summoned a few people to discuss a strategy for dealing with the Shuixia Kingdom's army.
"Commander Liu, have you found terrain that can be used to disperse the enemy's forces?" Bai Luoqi asked Liu first, because if he could not disperse the enemy's forces, then he would have to devote all 8,000 troops to the defense.
But even if the garrison strength of Yucheng is included, they are only ten thousand. According to the spies' reports, the Shuixia Kingdom's strength is more than twenty thousand, which is obviously second to none.
Disadvantage. Even if he can block the Shuixia army's attack on Yucheng, if Shuixia disperses its troops and attacks Tianlin City, the Red Dragon Army will have no time to spare, and may end up using up its small number of troops.
, Therefore, his plan is to use offense as defense and take the initiative to attack, but everything is ready, all he needs is the east wind, which is a terrain that can be used to disperse the enemy's forces.
"I found it, but it may be a little difficult." Liu nodded and took the knife.[
"Tell me about it." Bai Luoqi said with a focused gaze.
"Yucheng is surrounded by rivers on three sides. Therefore, the only direction in which Shuixia Kingdom can launch an attack is the fan-shaped area in the south. This fan-shaped area is basically a plain terrain and is very open. It is almost impossible to ambush
, let alone disperse the enemy's forces. However, I still found a terrain that can be used to isolate the enemy and divide it into two. If successful, we will have an advantage.
"Liu Yi pointed to the topographic map around Yucheng and analyzed it.
"Where?" Bai Luoqi asked immediately.
"This is the area six hundred meters in front of the city gate. The soil in this area is soft and it is very close to the river to the west. If there is a way to dig a ten-meter-wide gully in this area and divert the water from the west gate
If you introduce a ravine, you can form a barrier to the enemy. If the enemy comes directly across the water, it will be a dead end. But if you bypass this ravine, you have to make a big circle..." Liu Yi said on the topographic map
Detailed description on the map.
"The enemy will definitely not devote 20,000 troops to the attack, and will only send about 5,000 vanguard troops. In this way, we will use this gully to cut off the enemy's support and circle their vanguard troops.
You are surrounded by us, but you still feel like something is missing?" Bai Luoqi immediately came up with a detailed strategy, but he felt that it was not enough to give Shuixia Kingdom a head-on blow.
"There is a river beach in the west near Yucheng. It is easy to ambush, and it can be attacked directly from the flank..." Liu pointed to another area on the map.
"Very good, it is impossible for Shuixia Kingdom to think that we will ambush the main force on the river beach. If Shuixia Kingdom's vanguard army attacks the city gate with all its strength, it will be difficult to defend against a secondary attack from the side. In addition,
With the obstruction of this ravine belt, the Shuixia Kingdom's vanguard army attacking the city gate will be wiped out in one fell swoop." Bai Luoqi quickly planned the entire plan.
"However, it is not easy to dig such a ravine. It seems to take a lot of time..." Liu Yunxuan looked at the terrain map and couldn't help but look at Bai Luoqi.
"This is the only difficult part." Lewis nodded.
"I have my own way of doing this, so you don't have to worry about it." Bai Luoqi smiled confidently.
"Commander Qin, you first bring three thousand new troops into Yu City. You will be responsible for defending together with the garrison and attracting the enemy's offensive. Yunxuan, you are responsible for..." Immediately afterwards, Bai Luoqi began to deploy the plan.
After the deployment was completed, it was already nightfall. Bai Luoqi went to the west of Yu City alone, released three Black Desire Celestial Insects, and began to work overnight.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and the 20,000-strong army of the Shui Xia Kingdom appeared in a mighty manner one mile away from Yucheng. The military flags embroidered with the word "Shui Xia" were fluttering in the wind, ready to move and gain momentum.
Ready to go. There are three commanders leading this army, and one of them is the one who led Bai Luoqi in pursuit last time.
At noon, just as Bai Luoqi expected, the Shuixia army sent five thousand troops as the vanguard, led by a commander, and marched towards the Yucheng gate like a "tide" with a fierce attack.
The Qin commander who was responsible for the defense of the city wall immediately led his troops to defend, using all kinds of defense methods such as arrow rain, rolling stones, and tar.
In an instant, a fire broke out under the city wall, with black smoke rising everywhere.
The two Shuixia Kingdom commanders sitting at the rear saw that Yucheng's defense was stronger than expected, so they immediately sent another five thousand troops to support it.
But just as Shuixia Kingdom's 5,000 troops rushed to a place less than 600 meters away from Yucheng, they suddenly felt a violent tremor under their feet. Then, the entire ground collapsed and sank, forming a ten-wide strip.
The ravine was three meters high and a thousand meters long. Then, a strong force of water surged into the ravine. In an instant, the entire gully was filled, blocking the support of the Shuixia Kingdom's troops.
.
At this time, the 5,000 Red Dragon Army, which had been ambushing on the river bank at the west gate of Yu City for a long time, under the leadership of Liu Yunxuan, immediately attacked from the flank, like a spear rushing into the vanguard of Shuixia Kingdom's siege.
Zi disrupted the position of Shuixia Kingdom's vanguard army. At the same time, the gates of Yu City opened wide, and thousands of troops poured out like a tide.[
Seeing such a battle, the Shuixia Kingdom's vanguard army, whose military strength was obviously at a disadvantage, immediately became panicked.
"Don't panic, this Red Dragon Army is no match for the Shuixia Kingdom's army. Our support will come immediately. Kill!" the leader of the Shuixia Kingdom who led the army immediately shouted to stabilize the morale of the army.
But at this moment, a charming figure suddenly appeared on the leader of the Shuixia Kingdom, and a strong aura of a mad god level appeared suspicious, which made the commander of the Shuixia Kingdom change his face in shock.
But before the commander of the Shuixia Kingdom could react, a fierce force of ice struck him. Although the commander of the Shuixia Kingdom was also a Tianzong-level master, due to the huge gap in strength, he instantly
The people and horses were frozen into ice sculptures, and then shattered like glass, leaving their bones intact.
"The commander is dead! The commander is dead..."
The leader of the Shuixia Kingdom's vanguard army died, and the vanguard army was suddenly like a piece of scattered sand, eager to fight.
Under the joint leadership of Liu Yunxuan and Ji Shuang, the Shuixia Kingdom's vanguard army was completely defenseless.
Because of the obstruction of the ravine, the Shuixia Kingdom's army could only watch fire from the other side, watching helplessly as the vanguard army swallowed them alive. However, the remaining two Shuixia Kingdom commanders also immediately made adjustments and quickly integrated their forces.
Bypassing the ravine, the whole army marched forward.
However, by the time the Shuixia Army bypassed the ravine and arrived, the vanguard army had been completely wiped out, while the Red Dragon Army's casualties were less than a thousand...
