Fang Hang was very confused. When the troops came to the city, he pretended not to know. What kind of combat method was this?
Feng Yu saw Fang Hang's doubts at a glance and smiled, "Didn't the old prince say that war is gambling, but everyone's gambling size and habits are different. My personal first gamble, I want to play
Get older!"
Fang Hang didn't understand it at first. Hearing this sentence, he became even more stunned. However, the old prince instructed that everything should be obeyed by His Highness Prince Huai. He didn't know what medicine was in the gourd, but he didn't have any good medicine.
The only solution is to obey orders.
"Pass this king's oral instructions to send troops to the Jicheng Tower to inform them. Avoid the danger for the time being. Don't hold on, don't take the initiative to fight hard, and conserve your strength. Give them a chance, retreat to the alley, and lie in ambush quietly. Don't send out troops without permission or violate the rules.
Order to kill!"
"yes."
Fang Hang had some clues, "Could it be that His Highness wants to stage an empty city plan?"
"Yes, but this empty city plan is not for flying eagles. If my guess is correct, there should be a back-up plan."
Fang Hang saw that His Highness had made up his mind and had a little knowledge of the city, so he let go and went ahead with it.
Four or five forward soldiers secretly ran to the city tower and sent a message to let the city gate open. They looked at each other for a long time before slowly letting them in. The brothers who entered directly held the king jade pendant and explained their identities and background to the city defender in detail, and also
Feng Yu informed them of his plan.
The officials guarding the city had no doubts, because after listening to what was said, they felt that it was very reasonable and quite possible. So they gathered their men and made arrangements quickly, and the demobilization was basically completed in just a short time. Of course, this was also because the number of people was indeed insufficient.
There are many, so the speed can be so fast.
At the same time, the soldiers who entered were ordered by His Royal Highness King Huai to inform the people's homes near the city tower door to door, asking them to help them act more realistically. Speaking of this, I have to mention that the people in the border cities of Tang State were all
Good job, when they heard the enemy attacking ahead, they showed no fear and instead ignited their flames of war. Just like what Feng Yu saw and heard when he left Pingyi City, even the old man did the same.
The Xia Kingdom's flying eagle army had already reached the city gate in less than half an hour. This speed was worthy of the word "flying eagle".
Seeing that there were few guards on the city gate, the leading general thought that the entire Jicheng army was dispatched to help Gongcheng. He laughed and said: "Haha, Xian Yuhuan of the Jin Kingdom really had a good plan, and he actually deceived Jicheng.
It seems that there are not many troops left. Brothers, when this opportunity comes, please cheer up and charge me, and strive for a quick victory!"
"kill!"
Suddenly, the sound of killing broke out, and everyone in the Flying Eagle Army rushed towards the city gate.
When the guards at the city gate saw the enemy attacking, they were "panicked" and hurriedly blew the horn, lit the beacon fire, and notified the soldiers preparing to fight. However, the number of people who came was too small, so they only let go of their bows and arrows for a while, and the soldiers were destroyed.
After some stones were removed, the enemy climbed up the city wall. Not to mention, these soldiers acted really well. There were only a few people who came up, but they were still resisting and killing the thieves with all their strength. However, we can see that more and more enemy troops are climbing up the city wall.
There were not many people. You looked at me and I looked at you. The city guard shouted, "Brothers, we have fallen into a trap. Get out quickly!"
All the remaining Jicheng troops fled and scattered, not even caring about military discipline. They just ran wherever they could to survive.
The general at the bottom of the city laughed loudly, "Sure enough, there are not many people left. We only found out now that we have been tricked. It's too late! Order the siege stakes to open the city gate for me and welcome my army into the city!"
Not long after, with a bang, the gate of Jicheng was breached. A large number of soldiers in black military uniforms poured into the gate. The general outside the gate also rode into the city with the army. It seemed that he planned to take it directly without any help.
A chance to resist.
Here, Fang Hang came closer and reported something in a low voice. Feng Yu did not panic after hearing this, "General Fang, please send soldiers to pretend to be flying eagles and come out of the city gate. Remember, you must be carrying something in your hands. Just
It feels like bandits entering a village and looting everything. You must speak openly and don't be sneaky."
Fang Hang was very puzzled, but he followed the instructions.
People outside don't know what the battle situation is inside the city gate. What can bring out the news are these inadvertent small actions.
Look at the black-clad flying eagle army approaching the border, with the general on horseback in the center, neatly arranged behind them, and in front of the horses' hooves are a group of common people from the Tang Dynasty. However, at this moment, they have lost their bloodiness, and bow their heads under the iron hoofs in fear,
It made the Xia army feel indescribably happy.
"Haha, the Tang army is invincible, why is it nothing more than this in today's battle!"
"It's just that the birds and beasts dispersed before we even fought. Didn't we say that we would fight to the last drop of blood? Do you have so little blood? You are not brave enough! Hahaha."
All the people were hiding on one side of the street, not daring to say a word, for fear that if they spoke even a word, their families would be wiped out.
Some people even surrendered on their own initiative, saying, "General, this is all my family property. I respect you all, and I hope you will let me and my family go. We are all trying to make a living."
The general rode forward slowly on his horse and opened the sack with his sword. "Hey, there are a lot of good things. You are very aware of current affairs. Leave the things behind and stay where you are. I am the general."
I don’t have time to talk to you."
Suddenly, Guan Dao pointed his finger horizontally, "And you all, it would be great if you all learn a little bit and be honest."
"Yes, General, I will go home and clean up right away. I will not disappoint you." As soon as these words came out, the people who had just been listening to the crowd on the street all ran back to their homes, pretending to go looking for valuable things.
"General, seeing how cowardly they are, there is nothing to worry about. Why don't we go to each city gate to clear out the Tang army and put our people on guard? After all, the beacons and signals have been sent out, and reinforcements may come to help."
"Well, what you said makes sense. Although the Jicheng army is on its way to Gongcheng, we should first take over this place completely to avoid long nights and dreams. When it is over, we will send people over to clean up house by house."
Just as he was gathering his troops and preparing to run elsewhere, a sudden shower of arrows came. The leading general had some skills, so he turned around to notice and cut off the arrows flying in front of him with a single blow.
"There is an ambush, everyone, be on guard, don't run around and panic! Guard with shield formation!" The soldiers who were close gathered together and used wide shields to resist.
Thinking that there was an ambush, the Flying Eagle Army stopped and turned back in panic, but found that there was only a rapid rain of arrows. No one knew where they were. They only knew that they were shot from the tower. Could something have slipped through the net?
?
Little did they know, there was another funny battle at the gate of the city where they had just fought.
"Report, a large number of people came downstairs in Jicheng. They are all masked in black. Judging from the formation, they are not from the same group as the Flying Eagle Army."
Fang Hang was shocked, how could this happen? What happened?
Feng Yu smiled slightly, the targets of the empty city plan were finally here.
"Your Highness, could it be that you have already guessed that there are enemy troops coming, so you have been reluctant to issue orders and used the empty city strategy to lure the enemy."
"General Fang, I am actually betting, but I think I won't bet wrong."
"But who will this new group of people be? Although there are not many in number, they are all highly skilled in martial arts and quite capable. We pretended to be hiding in the tower of the Flying Eagle Army and took the lead in provoking them to fight with them, but this Flying Eagle
The advantage of the army was not in defending the city, and it was unprepared. The general at the head was careless and did not set up any defenses. He left a small number of people to guard the city and was quickly killed."
"If my guess is correct, these people should be Xian Yuhuan's back-up men."
"Xian Yuhuan?"
"Yes, do you still remember what General Fang told me about the Yichu matter that the fifth prince discussed with Xia Guo? Xian Yuhuan knows everything, but he has never given the fifth prince a good look before, but now he has surrendered, which is very likely
Really? I suspect that he is following someone else, definitely not the fifth prince."
Fang Hang realized, "Your Highness means that Xian Yuhuan pretended to surrender to the fifth prince, but in fact he established military exploits and benefited the real master. The fifth prince is just a pawn in the discussion with Xia Guo this time."
"Yes, such a seamless plan, but I didn't expect that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. The fifth prince made a mistake in his plan, and the Xia Kingdom lost its troops. How could it be possible to get the support of the Xia Kingdom again? And if Xian Yuhuan can make great achievements in Gongcheng, then he
Isn’t that person behind the scenes more happy than happy?”
"Your Highness, even so, the Jin Kingdom is far away from here, and it is impossible to defend Jicheng if it is occupied."
"So, this is a plan that kills three birds with one stone. What if Jicheng is used in exchange for Xia Guo's support in exchange for someone else? Wouldn't it mean that he has a sure chance of winning the crown prince position?"
General Fang Hang held the hilt of his sword, looked at the sky and sighed, "Oh, it's really unimaginable that the battle for the East Palace can go so far."
Feng Yu put his left hand on his armor and said, "General Fang, don't worry too much. No matter how scheming you are, this is the Jin State's domestic affairs. What we have to do is to guard the Tang State's territory and not infringe upon it."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will always admire His Highness's foresight. If we can defend Jicheng this time, it will all depend on His Highness's resourcefulness."
"Generals are talented and brave, but one without one cannot accomplish anything. General Fang's words are serious. What's more, the Jicheng place is just to lure the enemy deep and benefit the fishermen. If it is really not as complicated as I thought, when the time comes for the soldiers to meet downstairs in Jicheng, I will
I may not be able to command properly, I still have a lot to learn, it just happened."
