Chapter 117 The sudden appearance of reinforcements
After Asha Moye reminded her, Jiang Xin'er remembered that she had such a tip.
She found it and opened it quickly.
It says: Use harassment techniques.
This is a very good idea, after all, they are leading cavalry.
It is only appropriate to use harassment techniques.
As long as they restrained him, the pressure on Cao Meng in the city would be greatly reduced.
All it takes is delaying Shi Yi's arrival, and that's when the Northwest Wolf King's Allied Forces will be defeated.
The two looked at each other, with a smile unconsciously showing on their faces.
Afterwards, Jiang Xin'er said to Asha Moye:
"Moye, we have an army of 40,000 each, and we will harass you in reincarnation."
Asha Moye was overjoyed, she liked this strategy.
At the moment, the two of them divided their labors and cooperated, approaching that kind of city.
When they were still a few kilometers away from the city, Jiang Xin'er took the lead in leading the cavalry to harass them.
On the city wall, Cao Meng looked at the dark army of the Wolf King of the Northwest under the city, feeling a little anxious in his heart.
He did not expect that the Northwest Wolf King would gather nearly ten allies and lead several times more soldiers.
If he hadn't been good at fighting and experienced, he might have been captured by the Wolf King long ago.
There were several lieutenants around him, all of whom had sad faces, and it was really difficult to relax.
"Marshal, this is not the way to go. Otherwise, I will lead 10,000 soldiers to break out."
One of the lieutenants had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong back. He looked like a hero at first sight.
"Look at that formation, how certain are you of being able to break through successfully?"
"We'll wait and see and strengthen our defense. If they can't attack now and we can't get out, it depends on who can't survive it first."
"After such a long time, Marshal Shi should have led his troops to support us."
Cao Meng still had great confidence in Shi Yi, and the methods he took were still very good.
At present, the two sides are in a stalemate, and no one can do anything about the other. For Cao Meng, this may not be a bad thing.
As long as they hold on until Shi Yi comes to support, or if the opponent can't stand it, they will have a chance to counterattack.
Now let's see who can't hold on.
However, those lieutenants obviously did not think highly of Shi Yi.
"Marshal Cao, do you really believe that young man? Although he is a marshal, I heard that he has never fought in a war."
"It's not that the general doubts him, maybe he hasn't recovered the lost land on the southwest border yet."
"Not to mention conquering the southwest territory, the southwest barbarian king is not so easy to provoke. Otherwise, why has our country not conquered the barbarian king for so long?"
There is some truth to his analysis, but these are all his wishful thinking and lack of understanding of Shi Yi.
"Don't talk nonsense or make unreasonable assumptions about your superiors. You are not allowed to say such things again in the future. Do you understand?"
Cao Meng scolded the deputy general, and at this moment, another deputy general beside him shouted.
"Look, there are a lot of people over there, are they here to support us?"
As he shouted, Cao Meng also looked up, and the frown he had just frowned gradually relaxed.
Because he saw clearly that the flag was the flag of their Great Qingfeng Kingdom.
"They are the people who came to support us. Haha, Marshal Shi's people are here. Look, it's Marshal Shi's vanguard officer Jiang Xin'er."
Everyone looked at it again, with a lot more smiles on their faces.
Reinforcements finally arrived, and it looked like they were all cavalry.
Cao Meng did not expect Shi Yi's reinforcements to arrive so quickly. According to calculations, it would take at least several days before reinforcements arrived.
When he saw clearly that they were all iron cavalry, he understood a lot.
I also understand why the support came so quickly. Marshal Shi sent all the cavalry to support.
It looked like there were tens of thousands of people.
However, there are about 200,000 enemy troops below, and this manpower is not enough.
The little hope that had just been burning was somewhat shattered.
Especially the soldiers were excited when they saw the reinforcements.
When I saw so few people coming, my hope was extinguished again.
There were only a few generals, and Cao Meng was very calm.
Now that we have reinforcements, we are much better than without reinforcements.
The same sturdy lieutenant stepped forward and saluted Cao Meng.
"Marshal, since the reinforcements have arrived, I am willing to lead the soldiers to attack and cooperate with them inside and outside."
"General Xiang, don't be anxious. Stay calm and don't be impatient. We can just secure the city. Even if we all come out now, it won't mean much."
"Maybe we will lose this city. This is our largest city in the northwest region and our base camp in the northwest. We must not lose it."
Cao Meng stopped Xiang Bao. As a marshal, he thought more and took the overall situation into consideration.
However, Xiang Bao is different. He is a fierce and bloody man. How can he sit still when he sees his own reinforcements coming?
"Marshal, if we don't go to respond, we're worried that their whole army will be wiped out."
"The general is willing to issue a military order and will fight to the death to rescue the reinforcements back to the city."
After saying that, he made a plop and knelt down on the ground, as if he would not get up as long as Cao Meng did not agree.
Cao Meng did not respond, but looked at the battlefield again.
The enemy army also discovered the cavalry led by Jiang Xin'er, and they have been busy besieging the city.
He didn't pay too much attention behind him, and was a little panicked for a while.
They did not expect that reinforcements would come.
I have been here for several days, and there has never been any supporting force, even if it is only a small number, there is still no one.
Today's support force not only arrived suddenly, but also numbered tens of thousands.
The Wolf King quickly organized his soldiers to intercept them, but there were too many of them.
Even if 100,000 people were organized to intercept, there would still be 100,000 people besieging the city.
When they were approaching, Jiang Xin'er waved her long sword and shouted loudly:
"kill!!!"
Forty thousand people shouted for death together, and the momentum was still very strong.
In the city, Xiang Bao made another request, but was still rejected by Cao Meng.
The Wolf King below the city looked towards the city and snorted coldly.
"This Cao Meng is difficult to deal with. I didn't expect reinforcements to arrive and they haven't left the city yet."
"As long as he dares to open the city gate, he will definitely enter the city."
"Where did this support army come from? Send someone to find out."
The Wolf King was always in a good mood because the war was very beneficial to them.
Unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of reinforcements made him feel slightly heavy.
Although only tens of thousands of people came, I always felt that this matter was not that simple.
Shi Yi, who was far away on his way, was currently studying a map.
Beside him were Cao Bushuang and Princess Aoling. Princess Aoling didn't know much about fighting.
Cao Bushuang is different. After all, she is a member of the general family, and she has been fighting with her father these years.
I am very interested in these, and now I am even more interested after listening to Shi Yi's explanation of the art of war.
She didn't expect Shi Yi to study the art of war so deeply. Many things came out of his mouth, but they were just different.
"Brother Yi, I really doubt that you said before that you have never led troops to fight. If you really haven't, how do you know so many art of war?"
Shi Yi grinned, hugged the two of them with one hand, and said:
"This is what I learned in Sun Tzu's Art of War. There are still many things I haven't studied yet."
