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

"What's going on? Not attacking the city?"

Xiao Li, who was on top of Guanshan City, had ordered the soldiers to lift the iron barrels beside them, as long as Ye Feng led the army and dared to attack the city.

As the oil in the barrel continues to pour out and the torches are thrown out, the entire wall of Guanshan City will inevitably be a sea of ​​fire.

No matter how powerful Ye Feng's Black Armor Cavalry are, once trapped in the sea of ​​fire, even a grandmaster would find it difficult to escape and would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Ye Feng led the Black Armor Cavalry to attack the city just to test the waters. There was not much significance in him capturing Guanshan City now.

He led the army to a place six or seven miles away from Guanshan City, and directly ordered the army to set up camp on the spot. Only if Lady Xinling succeeded in the sneak attack on Juling City could the tactical plan be implemented.

"Order the entire army to have a good rest. There is no battle plan for the time being."

Ye Feng looked at Li Shanxiao, Sun Zizai, and generals such as Huang Tong beside him, and directly conveyed the order. Since Guanshan City was heavily guarded, there would be no point in rashly attacking the city, which would result in heavy losses.

"As ordered!"

Li Shanxiao turned around and gave orders to the Black Armor Cavalry, who quickly set up camp on the spot. He never had any doubts about Ye Feng's orders.

Generals Sun Zizai, Huang Tong and others were puzzled as to why Ye Feng did not attack Guanshan City when he could have, but instead ordered the troops to set up camp on the spot, but did not ask any further questions.

They had followed Ye Feng into battle many times and were well aware of Ye Feng's ability in marching and fighting. He must have had some plans before he chose to set up camp on the spot.

……

"My lord, I just received news from Yong'an City that Yue Teng has led a large army and has arrived outside Yong'an City. He only sent a small number of soldiers to harass Yong'an City, but did not send out the entire army. The rest of the army has set up camp five miles outside Yong'an City."

Zhao Changlin was wearing armor and riding a warhorse.

During his many years in Changlin County, he had trained a scout team of nearly a thousand people who could report the situation in Yong'an City and Guanshan City to him anytime and anywhere.

Zhao Changlin nodded calmly after hearing this. "Yue Teng has been through hundreds of battles. Even if he wants to attack a city, he must find out the situation of Yong'an City before he chooses to attack the city with his entire army. You should quickly send a message to Cha Hai, telling him to defend Yong'an City at all costs. Military advisor Jia Yu will lead 100,000 Changlin troops and arrive in three days."

"As ordered!"

The scout who brought the news turned around quickly and headed towards Yong'an City.

"Report! General Xiao sent a message that Ye Feng led the army and chose to retreat before even starting to attack the city. They set up camp six miles outside Guanshan City and had no intention of forcing an attack."

As the scout just now left, another scout from Guanshan City quickly ran to Zhao Changlin to report.

"Send a message to Xiao Li, I will lead 200,000 Changlin troops and arrive at Guanshan City soon. What he needs to do in the next few days is to defend Guanshan City. Don't underestimate Ye Feng. He always likes to win by surprise in battles, so be sure to prevent the enemy from attacking by surprise."

Since Zhao Changlin knew that Ye Feng had won consecutive battles, as his potential opponent, he naturally conducted many studies on Ye Feng and understood his fighting style.

"As ordered!"

The scout turned and left.

Zhao Changlin looked at Wu Jie beside him and asked with a smile: "General Wu, who do you think will have the last laugh between me and Ye Feng?"

Wu Jie looked calm and said, "My Lord, in my opinion, the outcome should be around 64. Our army not only has the advantage of defending the city, but also has an absolute advantage in manpower."

"Well! As long as Ye Feng is killed, I can lead the Changlin Army into Jinling City on the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials. By then, the entire Song Dynasty will be mine."

Zhao Changlin had a confident smile on his face. Compared with his army, the number of Ye Feng's troops was much smaller. As Wu Jie said, Ye Feng still needed to attack the city, and there would be more casualties.

As long as they fail to capture the city again and again, their momentum will surely be greatly reduced. At that time, it will not be Ye Feng who comes to attack the city, but he will take the initiative to attack.

"Send a message to the army to speed up the march. We must reach Guanshan City in two days."

This time, Ye Feng's siege was also a disguised way of forcing Zhao Changlin to rebel. When the time comes, he can enter Jinling City and capture the empress, and the Song Dynasty will be his. Thinking of this, Zhao Changlin smiled and felt very comfortable in his heart. It was really a happy occasion.

……

Behind Lady Xinling were Lao Xu, Duan Peng, and captains Luo Cheng, Zhang Ting, etc. They rode on war horses and followed Lady Xinling as they passed through Changlin County.

"Madam, the King of Zhenguo is leading a large army to attack the Changlin Army from Guanshan City. Why are we crossing mountains and hills here?" Duan Peng looked at Madam Xinling in surprise. They were all cavalry, and it was much more convenient to march on flat ground, but Madam Xinling insisted on taking them on a detour.

"We don't have to support the King of Zhenguo. Our target is Juling City in Changlin County. As long as the sneak attack on Juling City is successful, we can seize Majiao Pass. By that time, Zhao Changlin will be unable to take care of both ends, and the entire Changlin County will be divided into two, so that they can't connect head to tail."

Lady Xinling rode a warhorse along the path through the mountains and forests. The marching speed was not very fast. In many places, she had to order the soldiers to clear the way on their own. It was indeed not easy for the cavalry to move forward.

"But madam, it may not be easy for us to capture Juling City with only 8,000 cavalrymen." Luo Cheng said slowly. Cavalrymen themselves are not good at attacking cities.

"Don't worry! Juling City is in the middle of Changlin County. Zhao Changlin's heavy troops must be stationed in Yong'an City and Guanshan City. The number of Juling City's defenders must not be large."

Madam Xinling knew very well that with Ye Feng and Yue Teng attacking Changlin County from both sides, Zhao Changlin would definitely not be able to take care of Juling City. You know, behind Juling City are continuous mountains. Relying on the mountains, the enemy cannot rush into Juling City in large numbers, and Zhao Changlin will not arrange heavy troops to guard it.

Time passed like a white horse. In just three days, Ye Feng stationed his army outside Guanshan City and never attacked Guanshan City.

However, in Yong'an City where Yue Teng was located, he sent out the three battalions of the Xianzhen Camp to attack Yong'an City several times in succession. Although the siege was not successful, the defenders of Yong'an City became obviously impatient.

"Ling'er, is there any war report from Changlin County?"

Inside the imperial palace of Jinling City, Zhao Qiuyan was extremely anxious. Ever since she learned that Ye Feng led his troops to attack Changlin County, she wanted to go in person to help Ye Feng fight, but she was intercepted time and again by Yu Shouren and others.

"Your Majesty, this is the fifth time you've asked me today. Even if we want to fight, it will take time. The news hasn't come yet." Ling'er rolled her eyes. Who is still stubborn and doesn't care about the state lord Ye Feng? Now she's urging him, more than anyone else, and the word "worry" is written on her face.
