Chapter 885: Inside Anfeng City
According to the arrangements discussed by Yuan Shu's army, after 15,000 reinforcements were added to Qisi City, plus the 10,000 soldiers originally commanded by Li Feng himself and the 5,000 garrison troops originally in Qisi City, There are a total of 30,000 troops. Such a large number of troops will give Huangfu Chaobo the impression of heavy defense. In addition to the heavy troops stationed in Qisi City, the three cities east of Qisi, Liao County, Anfeng and Yangquan each stationed an army of 5,000 players. Together with the 5,000 garrison troops already in the city, each city's military strength reached 10,000.
The remaining 25,000 troops among the 50,000 player army were arranged in the military camp in Shouchun City, and together with other troops in Shouchun, they confused the Anton Army.
In fact, at this time, the only troops in Shouchun City, apart from Yuan Shu's Imperial Guard Army, were 20,000 garrison troops who were again mobilized from various counties at Ji Ling's suggestion. Moreover, Yuan Shu's Imperial Guard Army also sent 10,000 troops to Ji Ling for him to lead. Anfeng City fought with the Andong Army and the Yuzhou Army.
At this time, the truly elite army of Yuan Shujun, led by Ji Lingleibo, was quietly lurking somewhere between Anfeng and Liao County. There were a total of 10,000 heavy infantry soldiers, 30,000 heavy infantry soldiers, and the Yulin Army. Ten thousand, 20,000 city guards plus 20,000 Shouchun guards, a total of 90,000 troops. The reason why he lurks here is that he is afraid that Huangfu Chaobo will really do something harmful to others and is bent on leading an army to attack Shouchun.
After receiving the news from Anfeng's Ji Bao, Ji Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the movements of Anton's army did not exceed everyone's assumptions. After receiving the news from Ji Bao, Ji Ling began to make preparations to attack the Anton Army. He first ordered 10,000 soldiers from Li Feng's tribe to secretly leave Qisi and rush to the designated place to join Ji Ling's army.
Next, Ji Ling's army will secretly send a part of the army behind the Andong Army. At the border, Yuan Shu's army will attack Huang Zhong's army from three directions, east, west, north, and south, while Zhang He's army heading south to Yulou will be restrained by the Yulou defenders. It doesn't take too long. As long as Yulou's heavy infantry general Li Gui can contain Zhang He's 50,000 troops for about two days, his 120,000 troops can severely damage or even completely annihilate Huangfu Chaobo's troops under Anfeng City. Seventy thousand troops.
Yulou County and Anfeng County are not far apart, only more than fifty miles apart. A normal march of the infantry army only takes one day, so Ji Ling's military order to the Yuxian army was only to contain Zhang He's army once it arrived. In two days, no matter what happens, most of the opponent's troops must be left behind.
120,000 vs. 70,000. Although Huangfu Chaobo's 20,000 Guards army is extremely elite, he is also very well prepared. The war barracks and Imperial Forest Army alone have 65,000 soldiers and horses, almost as many as the Anton Army and the Imperial Guard. The Yuzhou Army had a comparable force under Anfeng City, and Ji Ling believed that his army was enough to defeat the coalition forces.
At the top of Anfeng City, Ji Bao looked at the slowly approaching coalition forces in the city, and felt infinite joy in his heart: "Come on, come on, come and attack the city, wait until you are exhausted and bruised by the collision below the city." When you are exhausted, the general's troops will be able to catch you all in one fell swoop. Huang Zhong, I will let you taste the feeling of being captured."
Yes, Ji Bao was one of the generals who were captured with Ji Ling at the gate of Luoyang City. However, he was just an ordinary captain at that time. A few years later, he was already a leader of the heavy infantry under Ji Ling. Now a captain in the military academy, the experience of being a prisoner made these generals under Ji Ling consider it a lifelong shame. Everyone is always thinking about avenging the humiliation of the past, but now they really have been waiting for the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ji Bao turned to look at Anfeng County Lieutenant beside him and said: "Li County Lieutenant, the next step is up to you. Don't worry, the general is the most fair and selfless. If you perform well, the general will definitely I will ask your Majesty for the truth."
The Anfeng County Lieutenant is called Gui Li Lin. He is a native of the Li clan in Anfeng and is a high-level warrior. When Yuan Shu took control of Huainan, his whole family took refuge, so he was promoted to the position of County Lieutenant. However, although Li Lin is only a high-level warrior, his ability is passable. For a few years, the county captain has been quite satisfactory, but he has always hoped to enter the combat soldier system instead of staying in the guard sequence.
But there has never been a chance.
After receiving Ji Bao's promise this time, he became very motivated and had already arranged the five thousand county guards. He only waited for a few days of fighting to pass and the general to deal with the invading Andong Army and Yuzhou Army coalition forces. You can successfully enter the combat system.
Just when Li Lin was gearing up for a big fight, in Anfeng City, in an ordinary house in the south of the city, several ordinary-looking men were discussing something in a low voice. The leader was a middle-aged man with a full beard. A young man, about thirty years old, could only hear him say in a pure Huainan accent: "Zhang Xiaosan, how are things going?"
The young man named Zhang Xiaosan replied in a low voice: "Brother Luo Wu, I have already inquired clearly. In the county garrison camps in the west and north of the city, a large number of soldiers and horses were secretly stationed five days ago. I have a relative who I am responsible for delivering vegetables to Beiying for a few days.”
This man named Luo Wu is originally from Anfeng. He was a ranger back then, but he left Anfeng a few years ago to travel around. He only returned to Anfeng last year. Relying on the fame he made in Anfeng, Luo Wu soon became famous in Anfeng City and won over a group of local people.
Eight days ago, Anfeng County started a curfew, and Luo Wu began to feel strange. However, despite the night curfew, no abnormalities were found in the city during the day. Starting three days ago, all the gates in the county began to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter the city.
So Luo Wu asked his subordinates to find out what happened. Before the news came back, the county yamen runners announced the notice of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant outside, saying that the joint forces of the Andong Army and the Yuzhou Army invaded Huainan. Now the army has arrived outside Anfeng City and will attack the city soon. From now on, the people in the city are not allowed to walk outside without anything to do, and they all stay at home honestly.
After listening to Zhang Xiaosan's words, Luo Wu asked calmly: "Hasn't the army already entered the city? Why do they have to send food to the military camp every day?"
"I don't know this, but according to my relative, the food sent to the military camp by their restaurant every day is enough for about a thousand people a day, and he also said that not only their restaurant is sending food to the military camp, but many restaurants in the county are also sending food to the military camp. Judging from the posture, the number of soldiers and horses in the military camp is as high as 10,000 or 20,000." Zhang Xiaosan shook his head and replied;
