Chapter 764 New Tactics

One night is coming.

This night was still very uneasy.

The sound of fighting from the direction of Wuwei Town and the fire that had not been extinguished all night all indicate what was happening on the battlefield. Under the continuous siege of the main force of the Jizhou Army, the small three-level township was like a small boat in the ocean, so small. The huge waves in the ocean seemed to be able to overturn the boat at any time. There have been many times, and it seemed that all resistance had ended, but it was just an illusion.

No matter how wise men like Tian Feng or the powerful generals such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it is impossible to explain why Wuwei Town still has resistance. That small piece of land has become an indelible nightmare for the soldiers of Jizhou. After a whole day and night, the Jizhou army suffered heavy casualties, and they also caused great casualties to the defenders. Logically speaking, there should be no one in Wuwei Town, but at the next moment, the battle on that piece of land will become more intense.

No matter how strong the offensive was and how many troops were invested, it was still unable to complete the final blow.

Perhaps, this can only be called...a miracle!

Of course, the Jizhou Army did not know that the so-called miracle they saw was just that Feng Xiang used the tunnel to continuously mobilize the new forces to join the defensive battle of Wuwei. The Jizhou Army was also exhausted. Although they could take advantage of their strength to attack in turn, the fatigue brought by long-distance marching would not fade away easily. Moreover, the high-intensity battle also consumed the great physical strength and energy of the Jizhou soldiers. Several times Yuan Xi was determined to withdraw the troops and rest for a while, but he was not willing to accept it.

The Jizhou army is so tired, and of course the Wuwei defenders are even more tired!

The rest of the Jizhou army means that the defenders can also get a valuable opportunity to breathe!

More importantly, after entering the black, the most powerful weapon of destruction, the defenders' most powerful weapon of destruction, suddenly dropped, and it was no longer as overwhelming as before. Then the crossbows were collectively lost. From this point of view, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion: the defenders' arrows were almost exhausted.

The opportunity to decide the world with one battle is here, how can you rest!

It seemed to confirm the speculation of Yuan Xi and others. Next was a purely head-on battle. Without the support of the Great Yellow Crossbow, the Wuwei defenders began to fight with the soldiers of Jizhou, the soldiers who rushed to the town. Yuan Xi and others originally thought that the defenders at the end of the road would soon be wiped out. To his surprise, the defenders on the back-to-water battle seemed to have increased their combat power. Although the Jizhou army could still gain some advantage in hand-to-hand combat, it was difficult to win as easily as during the day (the Japanese soldiers were not the opponents of the princes' troops).

"There are two very powerful guys in the town. Several times, our soldiers were about to break through the defense line. The two would bring some people up to recover the lost ground. One held a long sword in his hand and the other used a big halberd. When he rushed up, he killed and slashed the ground. He almost didn't take much effort. He snatched the position we had finally occupied. The brothers lost a lot. They were those two powerful people. The others were not worth mentioning at all. If someone could suppress the two generals, we would definitely win!" A commander gritted his teeth and said hatefully. The team of thousands of people under his command had been crippled in the battle to attack the Wuwei Town. Many brothers in the country died in a foreign land.

Although he was reporting to the second son Yuan Xi, his eyes were still glancing at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with a look of hope on his face. Just like a child who was bullied by others outside, hoping that his natives would go out to help him get revenge. There is no doubt that the leader of the thousand men was already scared by Zhou Tai and Yue Xi's martial arts. He could come back alive. It was not because he was far away from the two evil stars. The leader of the thousand men was obviously hinting at Yuan Xi. He asked Yan Liang and Wen Chou to meet those two people for a while.

It is very reasonable for a commander to make a request. It is also normal for him to react.

Yan Liang still seemed a little dazed. This is not surprising. Since he was repelled by a young girl in full view of the afternoon and was able to escape in a mess under the cover of a group of Jizhou soldiers, Yan Liang has been a little distracted. He has been playing for so long under Yuan Shao. He has never been as shameful as he is today. Although he can find many excuses for his own failure, such as "the other party attacked and took the lead", "Fengxiang Martial Artsman and a group of flat-haired beasts caused trouble next to him". But Yan Liang understood that even if he was single-on-one, he might not be able to beat that...a girl, a girl like a flower.

He already knew that the girl should be Zhao Yundi's sister - Zhao Xue. He had also heard of Zhao Yundi's deeds: the young heroes of Zhangjiaodi; the pseudonym Zhao Wuming in the battle against Dong Zhuo; the blood-colored Luoyang battle almost stood firm until reinforcements arrived; the landlord of the special military Flying Wing Camp... Although the legitimate sister was not glorious, she was barely a "comfort".

What a fast gun!

This is the most intuitive and profound feeling in Yan Liang's mind. Compared with the magical silver spear head, the shock brought by nearly a hundred little eagles appearing out of thin air can be ignored.

Several times he thought he could no longer escape and could persist from Xiaoxue's gun to his personal soldiers to rescue him without any injuries. In fact, it was a bit of luck, and the instinctive reaction of his body saved him. A little bit of silver light might continue to torture his nerves for a long time.

What happened this afternoon was obviously a huge shame for Yan Liang, who has always been famous for his bravery and heroic spirit!

He must wash away this shame!

Yan Liang did not have the courage to face Zhao Xue again for the time being, but this does not mean that Yan Liang had completely lost his fighting spirit. The "two powerful guys" suddenly appeared in Wuwei Town, and his hands were stained with a lot of blood from men in Jizhou... Wait! Yan Liang, who was standing in a dull manner, suddenly reacted. Isn't this a god-given opportunity to avenge his previous shame? Thanks to God, who gave him this opportunity so consciously, Yan Liang stepped forward with tears in his eyes and asked for his order to fight.

Tian Feng waved his hand to stop him and frowned, "Two very powerful generals... The battle this day and one night was so fierce, how could there be a powerful general staying until now to use it?"

"It should be a master who has been hiding in the defenders. Isn't the girl who appeared in the afternoon the same? Maybe they still expect to rely on that little force to counterattack. The strength of the world's No. 1 city is indeed extraordinary. However, when the war reaches this point, they can no longer hide it. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile." Victory was in sight, and Yuan Xi's ambition grew unexpectedly. He did not notice that what he said just now seemed to hurt General Yan Liang's fragile heart again.

Tian Feng looked serious. He felt something was wrong. It was difficult to find the key for a while. So he turned to the commander and asked, "In addition to those two powerful generals, he also

Is there something strange?”

"A strange place?"

The commander thought about it and replied seriously: "The defenders used to block our troops seem to have more forces than they did at dusk... Also, their physical strength is also better. My troops participated in an attack in the afternoon. This should not be wrong, strange..."

"The defenders dispatched more troops? Are they physically stronger?" Tian Feng frowned even tighter.

"No wonder." Yuan Xi raised his head, his face full of confidence. "Everyone should know that the Fengxiang people's arrows have almost used up. If I was not wrong, the Fengxiang people who were struggling in the town now are mostly crossbowmen who shot their arrows! Only in this way can the sudden extra troops and better physical strength be explained."

Everyone nodded and said yes. There was a little respect in their eyes when they looked at Yuan Xi. His analysis was quite reasonable. It was not easy for a powerful son who had just entered the battlefield in his early years to have such calmness and insight.

"The defenders in the town are at a dead end. In order to end the battle in Wuwei Town as soon as possible, I would like to ask the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou to go for a trip. After this battle, the soldiers can rest. When the siege equipment from Qingzhou Prefecture arrives, there is still a city waiting for us to capture. I will stand here until the two generals return triumphantly!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou agreed in unison, gave a bow, and then left with great strides.

They knew that Fengxiang's elite soldiers and powerful generals were basically attracted to Sili, and there were no powerful characters in the main city of Qingzhou. Zhao Xue was an accident. She did not have any public office in the world's No. 1 city. Usually, she was like a naughty girl who enjoyed life freely under the favor and spoiledness of several brothers. Many people often habitually ignore her, a female general with excellent strength, when calculating the strength of the world's No. 1 city, and Jizhou Army. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were convinced that apart from Xiaoxue, there was no other super powerful general in Fengxiang City who could make a move. Otherwise, the tall and scarred boy (Lu Han) would not have struggled to stand on the position for a day and a night.

Yan Liang wants to regain his lost dignity!

Yan Liang, who had already suffered a big loss in the afternoon, cannot be missed in this battle. Although he did not think that Feng Xiang was qualified to be his opponent, since he wanted to regain his face, the more beautiful he won. For this reason, Yan Liang, who is known for his bravery, still held the commander of the thousand men and observed the so-called "two very powerful guys" in order to choose an opponent that is easier to deal with. Yan Liang and Wen Chou had deep feelings for brothers, and Wen Chou had no objection to this.

Yan Liang quickly chose the target!

Zhou Tai, who was holding a long sword in his hand, was his arrogance like a thousand-year-old snow peak. He was fierce, wild, sharp, as dangerous as a sharp sword unsheathed. As long as he was not blind, he knew that Zhou Tai was definitely not easy to deal with. Yan Liang was extremely surprised. Feng Xiang actually had such a master; another man in his thirties was much more pleasing to the eyes (after ambushing Chen Rong, Yue Xi had recovered his original appearance). He had a simple and honest smile on his face, and he leaned casually against a broken wall and looked around, almost without writing the words "honest" and "loyalty" on his forehead. Within ten steps from him, a defender was killed by two Jizhou troops. The guy did not rush up to help, but shrank his neck, pretending not to see it, looking cowardly.

What a (bully) person!

Yan Liang quickly praised the gods and Buddhas in his heart, wholeheartedly.

"He is mine! It's the guy holding the halberd!"

Yan Liang gritted his teeth and shouted to his friend Wen Chou. Because of his excitement, his voice became louder: "See, he must be a top expert! The kid who uses a knife looks great, but in fact it is far worse than this guy! If you don't lie to you, can his halberd be played by ordinary people? I bet he is even more powerful than Lu Bu! I want to challenge him! I want to kill him! No one should stop me!"

Wen Chou sighed, looked at Yan Liang, said nothing, and left silently.

Looking at Wen Chou's back as he was gone, Yan Liang felt a little guilty, but he believed that Wen Chou also understood why he said those words against his will, and he wanted to regain his face. Of course, the honest guy he chose was a little unlucky and innocent. Although the man with the halberd looked like a good person, Yan Liang didn't want to be too cruel to a good person, but unfortunately he had no choice.

Yan Liang walked over with his head raised and his chest raised, strode towards Yuexi. The fool who didn't know the disaster was coming finally saw Yan Liang and smiled very kindly.

"Forgive me." Yan Liang said silently.

On a hill about ten miles south of Fengxiang, an army hid in the jungle.

The troops did not make any fire, and more than 3,000 people remained silent.

Cao Renmo stood on the hill, and a slight jumping red could be seen in the sky to the north. He knew that it should be where the Fengxiang people fought decisively with the Jizhou Army. Although he had some understanding of the combat power of the Fengxiang Army, it was limited to Zilong's Feiyi Camp and Gao Shun's Xiandeng Dead Soldier (In the Battle of Bloody Luoyang, these two troops had fought side by side with the Cao army who came to aid). Those two troops were not in Qingzhou. It still made Cao Ren feel a little unbelievable that Fengxiang could persist under the fierce attack of the Jizhou Army for so long.

Two hours ago, he came here with his troops, but stopped and did not continue to move forward. He even carefully avoided a patrol of Fengxiang Martial Arts. Due to the serious damage to the martial arts, Fengxiang had few scouts arranged on the periphery. In two hours, only one Fengxiang Martial Artsman went around a distance. Otherwise, the army of 3,000 people would have been discovered. Cao Ren came here to rescue the world's number one city under Cao Cao's order, but he let the soldiers rest on the spot ten miles away from Fengxiang. There was also a reason: the attack on Fengxiang City this time was not the Yellow Turban Army, nor the alien forces, but the troops of the princes!

To be precise, it is Yuan Shao's army!

Cao Cao and A Niu have a good relationship, and the cooperation between the two families is also very pleasant. However, if they get into evil with Yuan Shao because of the rescue of Fengxiang, is it worth it?

No matter how strong the world's No. 1 city is, it is just a territory of Yi Ren. No matter how powerful A Niu is, it is just a lord of Yi Ren! Yuan Shao, the former leader of Kanto, was born in the Yuan family, with many talents under his command, and occupied the wealthy Jizhou. It is really like a fish in water... To compare the two, the answer is self-evident.

Last time when the Lord of Fengxiang visited Cao Cao alone in the Black Eagle, the two of them closed the door and chatted for more than an hour. Cao Ren didn't know how A Niu convinced Cao Cao at the beginning, and he didn't understand how the wise Cao Cao could be.

Yuan Shao’s good thing. Cao Gong has always been a very decisive and responsible person, but now Cao Cao is the lord of a state. Many things are not as simple as when he has not yet made a fortune. He needs to consider various relationships in a comprehensive way. When Cao operates a decision, it no longer represents only his personal interests, but also the interests of all the forces surrounding him.

Cao Ren has a good impression of Fengxiang City in private. Both Zhao Yun and A Niu, Cao Ren is willing to make friends, but he still believes that Cao Cao should not be involved in this matter this time, at least, he should not be clearly on Fengxiang's side!

It is a little comforting that Cao Cao is not a person who is ignorant of the current affairs. Only 3,000 people came to Fengxiang this time. It is not difficult to see the attitude of Yanzhou Group on this matter: it clearly supports Fengxiang's "self-defense" and also implicitly releases some kindness to Jizhou, that is, Cao Cao does not want to really turn against Yuan Shao. The secret order Cao Ren accepted before departure was that "unless Fengxiang's main city is extremely dangerous, try to avoid being directly involved in the war." Although Cao Cao was not so direct at the time, who is Cao Ren, who is already thinking about the meaning of his clan brothers.

On the way to Fengxiang, he even suspected that Cao Cao sent him to lead his troops, not necessarily just for the so-called friendship. "Yuan Shao suddenly attacked Fengxiang, mostly for the Yellow Turban treasure. The clan brothers were in the heart, so naturally they didn't want Yuan Shao to dig out the treasure."

"The clan brother is indeed a little different from before.

"Cao Ren sighed, feeling full of relief.

The spy is back and brings the latest information.

"After so long, the Jizhou army is still attacking an affiliated township?"

"Yes. Although I don't know when the Jizhou army began to attack that town, judging from the traces on the battlefield, the time is not short! I just saw from a distance that the town was still fighting fiercely." The spy was very experienced and explained in detail what he saw, as well as his intuitive judgment.

"Fengxiang City is not surrounded?"

"yes."

Cao Ren showed suspicion. He thought that Yuan Shao's troops had probably begun to attack Fengxiang City, but he didn't expect that this would be the case. After asking some details carefully, Cao Ren waved his hand and asked the spies to go down. He really didn't understand why the Jizhou army abandoned the attack on Fengxiang's main city and was entangled in a town, and it has not been captured yet!

"General, everyone has almost rested. When will we set off?" the deputy general asked in a low voice.

"How long will it take to dawn now?" Cao Ren asked resentfully without answering.

"One and a half."

"Let everyone continue to rest, go after dawn and head straight to Fengxiang City!" Cao Ren said lightly.

Cao Ren did not forget his mission. His troops were limited, and his deterrence was greater than his actual combat power. He also had to take into account Yuan Shao's reaction. If he could not take action, he would naturally not do it. Since Fengxiang's main city is not at risk of falling, Cao's army would not have to rush to appear on the battlefield. If it weren't for the strict time limit requirements for this rescue, Cao Ren really wanted to find a place and hide for another day or two.

"Fengxiang City is really tenacious after resisting the Jizhou Army's strong attack for so long. I hope they will continue to work hard and repel the Jizhou Army's attack without us coming forward... Even if Lord Aniu City and Zilong knew that I had such selfish intentions in the future, I guess I can't blame me."

When Cao Ren was thinking like this, Fengxiang City.

In the city lord's office, Liu Xing was constantly circling around the house. With his temperament, he was obviously a little impatient. However, Pang Tong was still sitting there steadily, with no joy or sorrow on his face, but he picked up the teacup from time to time and took a few sips.

Sun Liang hurried in with a worried look on his face: "I just received the news from the Zilonghui Yiren who was leaving with the team. Miss Xiaoxue led three thousand Wuhuan cavalry and completed the search according to the booked route. No state prefecture troops were found on that route!"

After Xue returned from Wuwei Town, she did not get a rest time. She was sent by Pang Tong overnight to search for Hong's troops, the unit that transported siege equipment. Her mission was not to repel the invading enemy. The invading Jizhou army was still very strong. Qingzhou Prefecture and Fengxiang's Liangzi were deeply inseparable. If she did not destroy the siege equipment, she would always be a threat to Feng Xiang. Unfortunately, she still returned in vain.

"Time is tight, so we can only choose one of the three possible routes to try our luck. It seems that our luck is still a bit bad... Oh, let Xiaoxue come back. She has been busy for a day and a night, so she should be very tired." Pang Tong responded in a low voice, smiled bitterly, but did not show too disappointment.

"Sir, next?"

"You have been the deputy city lord for so long, why... the more critical the moment, the more you have to stay calm."

Pang Tong looked at Sun Liang, and felt a slight reproach. Sun Liang felt a little nervous. He knew that this was Pang Tong's guidance to him. He looked ashamed and said in a deep voice: "Student... remember."

Pang Tong's face cleared a little, and said, "If we guessed the action route of the state government soldiers correctly, Xiaoxue and the three thousand cavalrymen forcibly destroying the equipment is of course the best result, and it is reasonable to not guess correctly. You also know that it is extremely stupid to pin all your hopes on luck. Since Xiaoxuebai has traveled, we have to spend more time. It seems that we can only ask Miss Hou for help."

Liu Xing kept pricking his ears and listening. He was seriously injured and could not join the battle to kill the enemy. He had long been bored in the office. When he heard this, he became interested.

Liu Xing had heard of Hou Ying's name, but unfortunately he did not participate in the trial of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. When Hou Ying went to Sili to find Zilong, Liu Xing stayed in Qingzhou. It was not until an hour ago that Hou Ying's crane landed in Fengxiang City that Liu Xing had the first time seeing Hou Ying. The call of "third brother" made Liu Xing very unhappy. Unfortunately, Hou Ying was a little tired from Sili to Qingzhou. It was also night. Liu Xing wanted to observe the "brother and sister" in his inner decisive way. In addition, he had never seen Hou Ying's magic, and everyone told Hou Ying so magically that Liu Xing had been itchy.

"Are the ugly ghost planning to ask my fifth brother and sister to take action?"

"Yes. She is the only reinforcement sent by the lord specially from Sili. For trouble now, I have to ask her to do some favor." Pang Tong said with a smile.

"Agree! Seriously agree!"

Liu Xing laughed and thought to himself that there was a good show now. However, after carefully savoring what Pang Tong said just now, Liu Xing's face changed, "You just said that Miss Hou was sent back from Sili by the fourth son, the only reinforcements?"

"yes."

"one person?"

"Um."

"Isn't it Lao Wu's cavalry?"

Pang Tong flipped his eyelids, "Of course not, the Feiyi Camp is not really able to fly."
