It has just entered the second day of the second year of Xingping, but the festive atmosphere in the city has been completely wiped out.
Amidst the sound of war drums, countless soldiers gathered in teams one by one, ten in teams, hundreds in rows, and thousands in formation.
All departments were organized in an orderly manner, seeming to be slow but actually gathering together quickly.
Amidst the howling wind, flags and tents were constantly fluttering, mixed with the neighing of horses and the clash of gold and iron, making a thrilling sound.
With thousands of troops lying in ambush, a murderous atmosphere filled the whole city.
In this atmosphere, the people were speechless. Everyone closed their doors and did not dare to take a breath.
And the heavenly army, which has just celebrated a rich festival, is invigorated and the earthly army is strong.
All strategic arrangements and logistical provisions have been prepared years ago.
During this period, Wang Zheng also sent countless rangers around to inquire about the reactions of the surrounding parties.
It's winter in the twelfth lunar month and it's the end of the new year. It seems that the Langya government has not discovered that Yunting has been lost so far.
Since you are so slow, I won't be polite.
If God doesn’t take what he wants, then he will be blamed!
"Set off!"
With an order, the entire army set off, and countless black torrents rushed out along the city gate, and then divided into four groups outside the city, each rushing towards it.
There are four counties before Yuncheng: Dongguan, Dong'an, Yangdu, and Linyi. It happens to be a route to Kaiyang, the seat of Langya County.
It would be unrealistic to attack all the way before Kaiyang County could react.
They are just careless, not stupid.
Therefore, after Wang Zheng discussed with the generals a year ago, in order to achieve the unexpected effect of rapid military speed, he decided to divide his troops into four groups to complete this surprise attack that spanned hundreds of miles.
Yu Jin, Zhang Rao and others led more than 10,000 troops to attack the nearest counties of Dongguan and Dong'an.
Xu Fang then led 10,000 Tiangang troops and took Yangdu County directly.
As for Wang Zheng, he led Wu Sheng and more than 2,000 Tianzhu battalions to advance directly towards Linyi County.
There is less than a hundred miles away from Yang.
The Heavenly Army already has outstanding combat capabilities, and Yu Jin and others are not ordinary people. Even if they divide their forces, they will not only be very sure to capture the three counties at the same time, but also achieve the strategic goal of encirclement and annihilation without letting anyone go.
And Wang Zheng only brought 2,000 Tianzhu battalions. Not only could they have the fastest mobility and marching speed, maybe...
Is it possible to be mistaken for an officer again?
It was with this idea in mind that when choosing his deputy, Wang Zheng did not choose the mature and prudent Yu Jin and the thoughtful Xu Fang as before. Instead, he settled on Wu Sheng.
Ah Sheng, no matter you are charming or lucky, don't let me down.
Looking at the excited Wu Sheng on the side, Wang Zheng's eyes were full of expectation.
...
Ten days later.
At this time, Wang Zheng was marching towards Linyi County with a group of "official troops".
Dongguan and Dong'an counties should have already started fighting.
Counting the time, Wang Zheng thought to himself as he whipped up his whip and hurried on.
Along the way, the heavenly army was also fully prepared.
All passers-by who passed each other along the way, regardless of their status, were all captured by the second-order light cavalry.
There were some people among them who seemed to have some background. Even when a sword was pressed against their necks, they still had a tough attitude, shouting and yelling, saying nothing more than, "You are soldiers of the He family, how dare you do something wrong to me?"
For such things, according to Wang Zheng's instructions in advance, the heavenly army all blamed Kong Rong of Beihai.
At the same time, this also made Wang Zheng feel reassured, and he secretly started to do it.
Does driving a good car make you a good person?
Does being well-dressed make you an officer?
This would never happen in Qingzhou.
With the continuous military chaos and man-made disasters, the vigilance of the old family members has reached the point where every tree and plant is surrounded by soldiers. As for the Langya people, it can only be said that their life is too happy and too comfortable.
"General, look!"
As Wu Sheng shouted excitedly, Wang Zheng looked up and saw the influence of a city appearing at the end of his sight. He chuckled and waved his hand, ordering the entire army to pause and rest for half a day to recover their physical strength, and then complete the battle!
When the entire army began to fill their stomachs with dry food, Wu Sheng kept wiping the sword in his hand. As for Wang Zheng, he glanced at the transparent box suspended in mid-air in front of him.
Wang Zheng: General

Wang Zheng withdrew his gaze and began to ponder with a distant look in his eyes.
More than two thousand people seems a bit too much? After all, Linyi is too close to Yangzhou.
Once there is any trouble, Kaiyang will definitely send troops to rescue.
Wang Zheng doesn't mind this matter, and is even more willing to see it, but it is best to do it after Linyi is under his control.
At that time, whether it was luring a snake out of its hole or surrounding a point to call for reinforcements, the initiative rested with the family.
After thinking for a long time, he saw that the soldiers had gathered again and everyone was eager to try. Wang Zheng first looked at the cavalry on the left, then looked at the infantry on the right, smiled, and decided to divide the troops again.
Since you have decided to deceive, then let’s deceive to the end.
Then, he ordered all the cavalry to circle around the city to prevent anyone from escaping. At the same time, he selected more than a thousand yellow turban men as the main force for the frontal attack on Linyi.
The cavalry itself is more suitable for field combat. It may not be better than the infantry in siege. This is one of the reasons.
At present, in our own army, whether it is the existing cavalry or the seeds that can be used as cavalry, there are still too few, and we cannot afford to be injured or die. The second reason is that.
As for the third one.
At this moment, Wang Zheng no longer had any delusions.
It is unlikely that you will enter the city disguised as an officer or soldier. In a city like Linyi, let alone pretending to be an officer or soldier, you are a real officer and soldier. If it weren't for the system at Langya, people would not let you in easily.
So Wang Zheng came up with another plan a few days ago.
How about pretending to be a refugee and cheating?
For this new plan, the cavalry can no longer be brought.
The man leading a group of horses said they were refugees...who would believe it?
...
Soon after, everyone in the army, including Wang Zheng and Wu Sheng, put on tattered clothes over their armor, smeared their faces with mud, looked emaciated, and slowly approached Linyi again.
.
The team of more than a thousand people deliberately spread out the array, and the pace was chaotic.
At first glance, it does look like a group of random people who have suffered a disaster.
Unfortunately, if someone takes a closer look, they can see that there are too many things wrong with it.
A group of second-order soldiers, everyone can be said to be tall, strong and extremely strong.
Even if he deliberately bowed down at Wang Zheng's request, to be honest...
There is really a huge gap between them and the really thin refugees.
It doesn't look like a species at all.
"We should have brought some folks from Zhao County with us at that time." Wang Zheng also discovered this flaw and was secretly annoyed: "You didn't think well!"
But it was too late at this time. Just when he was worried about the possibility of another "counselor's dream being shattered", the soldiers at the top of Linyi City finally saw this group of uninvited guests.
"Close the city gate quickly!"
The chief in charge of city defense shouted: "Previously, the county magistrate received an official document from the county governor. More than 100,000 refugees from Qingzhou have entered our Xuzhou. It must be this group!"
"One hundred thousand?" A soldier next to him was stunned, then looked at Wang Zheng and his party, made a rough calculation, and sneered: "What a long time, how can there be one hundred thousand?"
"There are probably only a few hundred people here at most."
"You idiot, the big guys might be behind you!" Shi Chang scolded: "What are you talking about? Go and pull up the suspension bridge!"
As the warning bell rang, the news quickly spread from the top of the city to the whole city, and was sent to the Linyi County government and the military camp.
Regardless of whether it was the county king or the uncle, everyone's first reaction after hearing the news was the same.
Either in shock or in disbelief.
"A large number of refugees have arrived at our Linyi City?" The county king looked in disbelief: "How could this be so?"
"Aren't these refugees coming from Qingzhou? Coming from the north, they have to pass through the previous counties."
"There's no news about this. Have they all been captured?"
The county king was startled by this speculation and decided to go to the city to investigate in person.
Soon after, all Linyi officials, big and small, and local prominent families gathered at the top of the city.
After squinting his eyes and looking at the crowd of heads in the distance, the county prince was startled again.
Why are there so few people?
Immediately, his brows furrowed again.
Even though they were far apart, the energetic shouts and noises of some of the heavenly troops still vaguely reached the ears of the people at the top of the city.
Even if you don't understand those slangs and local accents, the county magistrate will know that they must be vulgar words.
"Don't listen to anything inappropriate."
While looking around again with disgust, to make sure that there didn't seem to be a large group of refugees lurking around, the county prince thought for a moment, then loudly exclaimed, his face suddenly enlightened.
I understand!
These must be some of the 100,000 refugees!
They formed a small group and passed through the previous counties, heading straight for me, Linyi.
