The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Yancheng, City Lord’s Mansion.

"Report! Repay!"

An anxious voice sounded and arrived outside the general's mansion.

Xin Daorong has been practicing martial arts and fighting battles for many years, so he has long been accustomed to getting up early.

His expression changed slightly, knowing that this was a report on military intelligence.

Immediately.

He appeared in front of the spy who reported the news at the fastest speed and asked, "What's the emergency?"

"Your Majesty, General, we have discovered over 20,000 enemy troops thirty miles away from Yancheng. They are heading towards Yancheng." The spy reported to Xin Daorong.

"With only 20,000 people, you want to capture Yancheng. It's ridiculous."

Xin Daorong looked indifferent.

With his ability to defend a city, it would be impossible for even 200,000 soldiers to capture Yancheng easily, let alone 200,000 soldiers.

"Immediately gather all the generals to discuss the military situation!"

Although Xin Daorong did not take the 20,000 soldiers seriously, he still summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

Not long after.

The four deputy generals under Xin Daorong all came into the hall one by one. They also received the news that 20,000 soldiers outside the city were approaching Yancheng.

A deputy general directly challenged Xin Daorong to a battle, saying: "With only 20,000 soldiers, you dare to attack Yancheng. I am willing to lead 10,000 soldiers as the vanguard and present the enemy's head."

"General, I think we should observe and make plans. If we rashly lead the army out of the city to fight, if Ye Feng has ambushes, we will most likely fall into his trap."

"Anyway, we are guarding Yancheng with an army of 60,000. If the other side wants to attack the city, they will be seeking their own death." Another deputy general hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

……

When Xin Daorong heard that the four deputy generals had different ideas, he fell into deep thought.

He now controls Yancheng. If he rashly goes out of the city to fight and is defeated, it will be a huge blow to morale and he may even die in vain.

On the contrary, if he stayed in Yancheng, the enemy's 20,000 troops who wanted to attack the city would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

What's more, he didn't know whether Ye Feng had any hidden tricks since he dared to attack Yancheng, and whether the more than 20,000 soldiers in front of him were baits to lure him to send troops out of the city.

"Immediately send out scouts to find out if there are any ambushes within a hundred miles."

Xin Daorong knew it very well.

If he was not careful and failed to defend Yancheng, it would be equivalent to returning the entire Eighteen Cities of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty.

By then, with Lin Xiaoxiang's methods, Xin Daorong would definitely be confiscated and his family would be exterminated.

Therefore, he must be extremely careful.

The spy who reported the news heard the order and turned around to make arrangements quickly.

"Liu Jin, you lead 20,000 soldiers to resist the enemy's siege. Do not act rashly. Wait for me to investigate the local military situation and then respond."

Xin Daorong felt that he could defend the city with confidence with the help of Yancheng. He might as well send out scouts to find out the situation first, and then it would not be too late to respond.

"The last general takes command!"

Liu Jin immediately turned around and left the hall.

"General Zhang, please lead 5,000 soldiers to pretend to attack the city."

Yu Shouren led the army to ten miles outside Yancheng and ordered it to set up camp. Some soldiers were also setting traps.

If Xin Daorong really leads a large army to fight, these traps can effectively stop Xin Daorong's army and delay time.

"As ordered!"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Tai led 5,000 soldiers, carrying ladders and various siege equipment, and rushed towards Yancheng.

"Kill!"

At Zhangtai's command, five thousand soldiers rushed towards Yancheng.

"Zhang Tai, you actually betrayed the Wei Dynasty, betrayed His Majesty, and defected to the Song Dynasty, you traitor!" Liu Jingang climbed up the city wall and saw Zhang Tai rushing over with 5,000 soldiers, and roared angrily.

"Lin Xiaoxiang is cruel and merciless. It's not my fault that we failed in the battle to capture Linjiang City, but he killed more than 300 members of my family." Zhang Tai heard Liu Jin's words, his face was grim, he raised his head, and his voice came from afar, saying: "I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. Following such a tyrant, the Wei Dynasty will perish sooner or later. A man who knows the times is a hero!"

"court death!"

Liu Jin didn't expect that his attack on Zhang Tai would lead to his opponent's words to seduce people. He immediately shouted angrily, looked at the archers on the city wall, and said, "Shoot!"

shhhhhh...

Dense arrows were shot towards Zhang Tai and others.

"Kill!"

Zhang Tai led 5,000 soldiers and pretended to attack the city. Seeing the arrows falling continuously, back and forth, he kept delaying time. He saw that the time was almost right, so he quickly gave the order, saying: "Liu Jin, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, abandon the dark and join the light. The army led by the state king Ye Feng is stationed in Taici City and can break through Yancheng at any time. Retreat!"

Since the intention was to delay time and pretend to launch a frontal attack, Zhang Tai would naturally release some smoke bombs for Liu Jin and Xin Daorong to prevent the other side from easily leaving the city to fight.

"Could it be that Ye Feng really has an ambush?"

Seeing that Zhang Tai retreated calmly, he did not dare to send troops out to hunt him down. Thinking of what Zhang Tai had just said, he frowned and hurried to the City Lord's Mansion to report to Xin Daorong.

……

"Drive, drive, drive!"

Ye Feng rode his warhorse until dusk, when he arrived at the bank of the Jinling River. The river was turbulent and extremely wide, about a hundred meters wide.

Not far away, I saw two pitch-black iron chains connecting the two banks of the Jinling River, with wooden planks built on them, just enough to accommodate a person and a horse.

"Lord Zhenguo, are we going to cross the river from this big river bridge?"

When Lao Xu saw the Dahe Bridge, he was a little surprised.

The bridge is extremely narrow and dangerous.

The other side is connected to Dongyun City.

There must be soldiers guarding the pass, like one man blocking the way for ten thousand. It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to cross the river from here.

"Not bad!"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Think about it carefully. If you were the defenders of Dongyun City, knowing that there were the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun in front of you as a barrier, how could you possibly deploy a large number of troops on such a narrow bridge when you had not received any news that we were attacking the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun?"

"Yes! What the Zhen Guojun said is right."

Madam Xinling nodded and said, "I will take a few people with me and quietly cross the Dahe Bridge to find out what's happening on the other side."

"No need." Ye Feng waved his hand at Madam Xinling and said, "I'll take Dashan across. This bridge is extremely narrow. The more people there are, the more it shakes. If we alert the defenders on the other side, it will be extremely difficult to cross the river."

"You are the core of the army and must not take any risks. I will go." Lady Xinling was very worried. If they were discovered by the enemy while crossing the river, no one knew how many troops there were on the other side. Even if there were no troops, once the enemy untied the iron chain, the Dahe Bridge would fall into the turbulent river below, which would be disastrous.

She would not allow Ye Feng to take such a risk and objected.

"Don't worry, I'll go with him."

Yan Nishang was wearing a cloak and her voice was icy cold and unquestionable.

The first time she saw the Dahe Bridge, she felt it was extremely dangerous.

do not know why.

When she saw Ye Feng wanted to take Dashan across the river, her heart suddenly tightened, and she stood up as if possessed by a ghost, and couldn't help but say.
