"Lord Luo was the first to reveal the Forbidden Army's conspiracy. Yan Jianzhang and Wang Cheng'an, the governor of the Northern Territory, were at loggerheads. The second round of negotiations ended briefly, and no results were reached in the end!"
Hearing the voice from the landline, everyone present had smiles on their faces.
"Very good... Luo Lun is very wealthy and he has lived up to the king's great trust!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.
Although the front line was tight, Laurent's response was indeed in place, directly defeating the fragile alliance between the Northern Dusi and the Forbidden Army.
Looking at the map on the wall, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Presumably at this moment, the reinforcements from the Soldiers and Horses Department and the Guards Department have entered the territory of Tianjin Mansion!"
Chen Anming replied: "I think so, and Cui Xing'an's cavalry is not far from Yanfeng County!"
The situation was indeed what Chen Anmin said. Cui Xingan and his 600 cavalry were now only fifty miles away from Yanfeng County.
As he rode forward, Cui Xing'an heard the voice of Liu Shan from Baihu: "Master Qianhu, the scouts are here to report... The Forbidden Army is still revising and has not yet attacked the city!"
Cui Xing'an couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that the battle in the morning made these forbidden troops so exhausted that they became timid to fight!"
"That's right!" Liu Shan replied.
"Sir, can you speed up your journey?"
Cui Xing'an shook his head and said: "No need, we have to conserve our strength, don't forget... there is a cavalry behind the Forbidden Army!"
The scouts they sent out have roughly figured out the situation of the invading Imperial Army.
"Sir... do you want to fight this cavalry?" Liu Shan asked tentatively.
"Isn't this better? Without the cavalry to protect their retreat, how many more days can the infantry in front be able to keep up?" Cui Xing'an asked rhetorically.
"Besides, Tianjin Guard's reinforcements are already on the way. There are more than a thousand in number, and they can also contain the Imperial Army in Yanfeng County!"
Cui Xingan's words actually meant that there was no crisis in Yanfeng County, so he wanted to cut off the Imperial Army's retreat first.
"Sir, even without the reinforcements from the Tianjin Guards, I think we can still stop these forbidden troops with just the soldiers and civilians defending the city!"
Cui Xing'an nodded and said: "The Forbidden Army's first attack failed, and the morale of the army was frustrated... If their escape route is cut off again, it is not impossible for them to collapse on the spot!"
If a lone army goes deep into the country and reaches the level Cui Xingan mentioned, it is not impossible for the entire army to collapse.
"Keep on going!"
"yes!"
In fact, when Cui Xing'an approached, the scouts of the Forbidden Army also discovered them, and the news also reached the ears of Pang Guoxing, the commander of Longteng Right Guard.
"Six hundred people? Humph... King Yong is pretty good if he can gather 600 cavalry!" Pang Guoxing said with a little disdain.
Cavalry is not just a matter of horses, it requires constant investment of money and supplies, and it also requires special training to become a cavalryman.
"Sir... let's eat him?" Qianhu suggested from the side.
These words made Pang Guoxing hesitate. He was not afraid of the cavalry of Prince Yong's Mansion, but was thinking about whether this was the right thing to do.
His mission is to deliver supplies to the Forbidden Army in front and ensure the stability of their rear.
"Ignore it for now and let the scouts continue to investigate!"
"Sir...the reinforcements coming from Fucheng, do we want to stop them?"
Hearing this reminder from his subordinates, Pang Guoxing suddenly felt a little hot. It was really a leak in the house and it rained all night.
"With these thousand reinforcements, we can send troops to harass... and hinder their progress!"
After thinking, Pang Guoxing replied: "Although there are few monsters in Longyou, they are not without them. Let's attract more monsters to them!"
"yes!"
It is more appropriate to guide the zombies to stop the attack than to send your own people, at least you don't have to sacrifice human lives.
"As you command!"
"Also, send orders to the brothers west of the river to speed up and cross the river!"
The mission of Longxiang's right guard is to ensure the food supply for the Forbidden Army, so at this moment there are more than a thousand riders riding west of the river, transporting food from Changding Fortress to Longyou.
Unlike Longyou, the number of zombies in the North is extremely large, which affects their traveling speed.
In the early morning, they made one trip and delivered the first batch of grain to Zhou Qing and his two men.
In order to speed up the journey, Zhou Qing and Cai Yongkun's subordinates all adopted the method of traveling lightly, with each soldier only carrying two days of rations.
He didn't panic when he had food in hand, so Pang Guoxing was anxious to deliver food instead of mobilizing troops to fight Yong's army.
But the problem now is that Yong Jun's response was too fast, beyond the expectations of the Imperial Army.
Originally, it was thought that the reinforcements would only be brought for three or two days at the earliest, but reinforcements arrived in just half a day, forcing Pang Guoxing to adjust his strategy.
Although he didn't want to fight, he had to prepare to fight!
"yes!"
As for the reinforcements mobilized by Tianjin Guards, in order to support the battle in Yanfeng County, the commander Fang Tong mobilized troops from various counties, with the total number reaching one thousand.
And all counties, including the capital city, were on a state of war readiness, and the remaining soldiers and young men were summoned to the city walls to prepare for possible raids by the Forbidden Army.
At this moment, Fang Tong himself was leading the army on the official road leading to Yanfeng County.
The density of zombies in Longyou is low, but it does not mean that they are extinct, so they are clearing them all the way.
Fortunately, there are not many zombies, which only slows down their new arrival.
At this moment, they are still almost thirty miles away from Yanfeng County, and they are the nearest reinforcements to Yanfeng County.
"Sir, the Forbidden Army is preparing to attack the city for the second time!"
Looking at the sun that had turned westward, Fang Tong was no longer so panicked.
The Forbidden Army failed in their first attack on the city, and the second attack they were organizing now would only have an even lower chance of success.
This actually illustrates another thing. The frontline commander of the Forbidden Army panicked, so he organized another attack in a hurry.
"Sir, there are a bunch of monsters ahead..."
After hearing the report, Fang Tong couldn't help but frown.
"Sir, someone must have deliberately caused it. Even if there are monsters attacking... there shouldn't be so many!"
The person who spoke was Qianhu Menghai. He was walking very slowly in front of him, which made him very anxious.
After all, it was his good brother Mashan who was besieged in Yanfeng County.
"They have cavalry and they are very good at doing this kind of thing!" Fang Tong was helpless about this.
They have no cavalry and cannot deal with these imperial troops.
At this moment, outside Yanfeng County, the Forbidden Army was ready to launch a second attack at any time.
This time, Zhou Qing changed his offensive strategy and divided the siege team into two teams, each with a thousand soldiers.
This time, if they can't take the city again, they will have no chance.
All the soldiers had eaten and drank enough. After resting for nearly two hours, Zhou Qing issued the order to attack.
"go ahead……"
A large number of soldiers stood in formation, carrying shields on their heads, and moved towards the city again.
Above the county seat, Mashan has rearranged his defenses, and he is confident that he can prevent this attack.
At the same time, he also knew that this battle would be very difficult, and many people would die in the battle.
In the morning battle, the Forbidden Army lost nearly a thousand lives. The defenders also had a hard time, with more than 400 people killed in the battle.
"Brothers, reinforcements are coming, our army will win!" Mashan encouraged morale.
"Must win!"
He raised his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!"
"Long live His Highness King Yong!!" all the soldiers and civilians defending the city shouted.
