Chapter five hundred and eighteen waiting for the rabbit
The Mutianlang generals responded in unison, and their words were a little more relaxed and joyful, but they were indeed a little tired.
Shen Xiangdong looked at Li Luo, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
The next morning, outside the shopping mall.
General Li Luo looked at the city gate in the distance. Compared to the small mall, the big mall was vastly different. Whether it was the city wall or the area, it was far from being comparable to the small mall. It was very majestic.
Although Dongyan Prefecture is not the most prosperous among the Dagan prefectures, it is far better than the two northwest prefectures and half of the prefectures in Zhong Prefecture. The big shopping city is the prefecture city of Dongyan Prefecture. Naturally, a lot of thought has been put into it, and the city walls are towering. , the Jianduo sentry tower is quite satisfactory, not weaker than Daganbie Prefecture.
Li Luo looked at the Great Mall quietly and said softly: "The Great Mall is more than five feet high, and the rogues have more than 30,000 soldiers. How did they capture the Great Mall?"
"This..." Mu Tianlang and other generals looked at each other and smiled sadly.
Siege battles have always been the most brutal battles among attacks. They are very time-consuming and have minimal results. They often kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.
Regardless of whether it is using elite troops to attack by force or siege equipment, the tactics can only be as simple as sieging the city, alienating the morale of the army, besieging without attacking, secretly seizing the warehouse, etc. The number of troops must be several times that of the defenders to besiege a city. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by the soldiers in the city waiting for an opportunity to break the siege.
When the two armies are fighting, if they want to win a big victory, most generals will try to find opportunities to severely damage the enemy during the march or in the wilderness. Siege of the city is the best strategy. If it is not absolutely necessary, few people are willing to besiege the important city.
A big shopping city looks like this. If there are five thousand soldiers guarding the city, the generals do not need to be good at fighting. They only need to know how to fight. If there are no other variables, it will be extremely difficult for 30,000 rogue bandits to capture this city. It is not necessarily impossible to say that it is just a battle. I'm afraid that less than half of the rogue soldiers will be left.
Seeing that the generals were silent, Li Luo continued calmly: "There are no traces of fighting on the city walls or outside the city gates. One is that the defenders fled without fighting, and the other is that there were rogue bandits in the city who responded in a hurry. The defenders responded in a hurry. We I guess it's more likely to run away without a fight."
"General, the rogue bandits invaded the border and ravaged the two states as if they were deserted. There must be some internal agents involved, and I'm afraid the big mall will not be spared." Shen Xiangdong said harmoniously.
Li Luo hummed and replied calmly: "Although Dongyan Prefecture does not have many troops, it has at least nearly 10,000 garrison generals, plus officials from various governments, patrols and arrests, and the Wutang sect will not be less than the number of rogues. Anyone who runs away like this, no matter what the reason is, should be punished as a crime according to the law of the country."
Shen Xiangdong sighed with emotion: "Both the defenders of Dongyan Prefecture and Chuyang Prefecture have retreated to Huizhou. If Mu Tianlang arrives later, I'm afraid they will have to retreat to Guiyang Prefecture again, abandoning their armor. It really damages Dagan’s face.”
The Mu Tianlang generals looked at the big shopping mall, and Zhu Zhi said suspiciously: "It's strange, the movement is a bit unusual."
The majestic city of Yizhou was unusually quiet at the moment. There were no guards or civilians at the city gate, but the city gate was still wide open. It seemed to be an empty city.
"Have all the people in the city fled?" Fu Xiushu asked doubtfully.
"No." Shen Xiangdong shook his head.
He said, "A big mall is a hundred times better than a small mall. Before yesterday, there were hundreds of people in the small mall who were unwilling to leave their homes and flee. The big mall will not become an empty city anyway."
"There is a woman in front of the city tower." Leng Bing said suddenly.
"Female?" The generals were stunned and looked up. However, the place where the troops were stationed was still far away from the gate of the Great Shopping City. The city towers were faintly visible, but it was difficult to distinguish whether there were any human figures.
Li Luo let out a light sigh and said, "How could it be a woman?"
Shen Xiangdong only vaguely saw someone visiting at the top of the city. There was no distinction between men and women. There were only a few people in Mu Tianlang's army, so they could be called monsters.
"She saw us." Leng Bing said indifferently.
Li Luo nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "I can't guess the mystery in the city, so why not give it a try? What do you think?"
The generals nodded, the city gates were wide open, and they didn't know what was inside the city, which was indeed a bit unpredictable.
Fu Xiushu said in a deep voice: "The remnants of the rogue bandits are nothing to worry about. Even if there are still rogue bandit soldiers in the big mall, they won't be able to do anything famous."
"General Fu and I led a thousand soldiers from the Shesheng Battalion out to test the situation. Mr. Shen and the rest of the troops were behind to provide support. If there were any changes, we would sound an arrow to warn."
"General, I'd better go with General Fu to find out what's going on." Zhu Zhi continued.
"No need, the Chinese cavalry battalions are scattered everywhere. If there is any enemy information, report it to Mr. Shen." Li Luo shook his head calmly.
"This?" Zhu Zhi looked confused and glanced at Shen Xiangdong. Shen Xiangdong's expression was peaceful. Zhu Zhi had no choice but to follow the order.
Li Luo slowly rode out, Fu Xiu Shu raised his hand to signal, and a thousand soldiers from the Shesheng camp followed behind Li Luo.
Li Luo and his men had just left the formation when they heard a cold voice say: "Someone is leaving the city."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure swayed at the city gate, and a horse rode out. Before the generals in the formation could distinguish him, Leng Bing's voice faded and he said calmly: "This is Helian Chengxian."
Sure enough, the visitor came from nowhere and shouted loudly from a distance: "General, you are here."
Fu Xiushu responded loudly: "It's General Helian."
"Haha, General Fu has worked hard all the way. The big mall is now under the control of the Yueqi Camp. General, come in quickly." Helian Chengxian laughed loudly.
The Mu Tianlang generals breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Xiangdong nodded slightly and praised: "It turns out that it was an empty city plan devised by General Shi and General Helian. It's wonderful. Let's go over."
The army rushed to the bottom of the city, and Shi Wei had already lined up to wait for him. When they saw the soldiers in the army who had been separated for a long time, the officers and soldiers in each camp were extremely happy and exchanged greetings with each other.
Shen Xiangdong smiled and said: "General Shi and General Helian used a trick to make the city empty. We watched from a distance for a long time, not knowing what was inside the city. We didn't dare to approach for a long time."
Shi Wei smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, you are exaggerating. I saw a general hiding in the forest outside the city. I didn't know it was the general and Mr. Shen. I didn't dare to recognize each other for a while. It was only when the general left the formation that I concluded that it must be the general." I, the Shepherd Tianlang soldiers, have never had such magnanimity among rogue bandits."
Fu Xiushu chuckled and asked, "So the bandits in Dongyan Province are all fish in General Shi's net?"
"It's not easy to come to Dongfu, but I still have to catch a few fish to drink for my brothers who are Shepherds.
General, Mr. Shen, please come inside." Shi Wei said with a smile.
All the generals filed into the city. The walls of the Great Shopping Mall were high and thick. Mu Tianlang's eastern expedition was only about 10,000 people, and there was no crowding when they all entered the city. Even if there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, it would be more than enough.
After entering the city, as Shen Xiangdong had expected, half of the people in the city were present. Many stood by the road in the middle of the city or lay in the narrow cracks of the courtyard gate, curiously looking at the officers and soldiers in the camp. (To be continued.)
