C1566 Ambush on the Way
It had only been a short while, but Huang Feng, as a soldier, had successfully climbed to the city wall. Although he was not able to stand on the top of the city wall, he had already engaged in close combat with the defending troops in the city. Furthermore, the advantage he had was also becoming bigger and bigger.
Huang Feng had expected this kind of situation. However, the defending troops in the city... They had never thought that... It would take at least two or three days for the troops outside the city to climb to the top of the city wall. At that time, both sides would engage in close combat.
However, they did not expect this situation to come so quickly. This was only the first morning of the battle. Huang Feng's army had just begun their attack. They were about to reach the top of the city wall. This was a comparison of martial arts. It really made the defending troops in the city shiver in fear.
Of course, if those guards knew that these troops were not the most elite troops under Huang Feng's command, who knew what they would think.
"Good eyesight." Huang Feng praised, "According to the current situation, even if I don't send out those slaves, I can totally attack the city wall today."
Huang Feng was confident, although he didn't know why the defending troops in the city were so weak. However, the fact was that if the situation continued like this... With a few more charges, his men would definitely be able to reach the top of the city wall. Then, he would take the opportunity to take it down and then occupy the entire city.
In fact, what Huang Feng did not know was that the fighting strength of the defending troops in the city was so weak. One reason was that those people had not undergone any formal training. Furthermore, they did not have much combat experience before, so they could bully ordinary people. It was still very difficult to fight against these battle-hardened warriors under Huang Feng.
Furthermore, many of these people had been robbed and captured. They all wanted to escape and return home to farm. Therefore... Their thoughts were naturally not on fighting anymore. In their hearts, they were hoping that they would fail. And then... After they were freed by Huang Feng's troops, they would be able to return home.
And because of this idea, one could imagine how much combat strength these people could display.
"Quick, let the reserves come up. This place can't hold on any longer."
"Go and report to the general. The south side of the city is also anxious, they can't hold on much longer"
"Near the north gate as well! The enemy's attacks over there are ferocious. They are also about to be unable to hold on any longer. Requesting the reserves team to go and support. "
Each and every one of the pleas for help caused the city defending generals in the city to panic. He didn't think that this was only the first day of attack. His side could not hold on much longer. Based on what he had discussed with the other city guards, at the very least, his side would be able to hold on for a few more days. At that time... Huang Feng's troops would be exhausted. At that time, the defending troops of the other counties will come to support, together with these defending troops. By pincering Huang Feng's troops from the front and back, they would be able to destroy Huang Feng's troops in one fell swoop.
However, he did not think that the development of the matter would be completely different from what he and the others had thought. This was only the first day of attack, and he couldn't hold it any longer. Danger was everywhere, and there were some reserves in the city. They could go and provide support, but looking at the situation now... Even if they sent a reserve team, they definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Let the reserve team go up." That general said, "In addition, let the defending troops of the nearby counties quickly send troops to support. If we delay any longer, my side won't be able to hold on. At that time, their lives won't be easy either. "
"Yes." The general's personal guard replied.
After that, he left with the general's order. The general's face didn't look too good. After all, this had happened on the first day, and he couldn't be in a good mood.
Huang Feng saw from afar that the other side had an extra force, and the situation was slowly stabilized by the other side. He was not in a hurry. He just asked his subordinates to increase the attack and pressure the enemy. However, they did not really need to occupy the city wall.
"You want to surround and fight for reinforcements?" Su Yumo said. She immediately saw through Huang Feng's plan. Although she had not read any military books, but... There were a lot of such cases in novels or dramas... In addition, she wasn't stupid, so she could easily figure it out.
"That's right." Huang Feng nodded and said, If you really want to take down this town right now, then... Huang Feng could totally let his most elite troops go up. He believed that... As long as there was a day, or even a day, it wouldn't be necessary. He would be able to take down this county.
However, he didn't do that. In that case, for him, it would not do him much good. He still had to leave the soldiers to guard this place. Watch the captives. In that case, when attacking other counties... His military strength would definitely be weakened, which was not what he wanted.
That was why Huang Feng came up with such a plan to surround and attack reinforcements. The allied troops in the surrounding counties could not watch helplessly as the county fell. Unless their brains were not working, because if that was the case... Huang Feng could beat them down one by one and break them down one at a time. That wouldn't be a good thing for them.
"What are you going to do next? There are several counties around here. Which side are you going to ambush?" Su Yumo asked. Since Huang Feng had decided to surround and attack, then he would definitely ambush them. However, there was more than one direction he could choose. So... Su Yumo did not know what Huang Feng would choose either.
"East side, Xinqi County." Huang Feng said affirmatively, "According to the information I got before, the defending generals of Xinqi County have a good relationship with the defending generals of this county we are facing now. They should be coming to help as soon as possible. Moreover, Xinqi County is the closest to here. It should be the fastest to arrive. After we take care of them... We still have enough time to deal with the reinforcements from other directions. "
The war did not only involve soldiers, but also intel and grain. Hence, before Huang Feng personally led the army, he already had an understanding of the alliance army. He knew their relationship and the principle of knowing one's enemy and winning a hundred battles. He still understood that he would not be careless because of the strength of the soldiers under his command.
Hence, Huang Feng knew the relationship between the defending generals of Xinqi County and the defending generals.
"When are we going to ambush them?" Tan Ying asked.
"Now!" Huang Feng put down the telescope in his hand and said. After that, he gave the command to his subordinates. He took the three thousand slaves that he had exchanged for, as well as the one hundred thousand men and horses. He left this place and headed towards Xinqi County.
Su Yumo and the other girls were still with Huang Feng this time, even though Huang Feng had said it before. There was no need for them to go to the front line. They just needed to be at the back. However, they all thought that Huang Feng was fighting in front of them. It was obviously not good for them to play in the back. Even if they could not help Huang Feng too much, however, they didn't want to do it while Huang Feng was fighting. On the other hand, he was enjoying himself.
Therefore, the girls were still following Huang Feng this time. Because of the inner energy and the other guards around, Huang Feng was not worried about their safety.
The army set off in a grandiose manner because Xinqi County was not too far away from the county just now. Furthermore, they were not going to attack Xinqi County. So, on the way, Huang Feng found a suitable place. He stopped the whole team and then laid an ambush in the surroundings.
This was a hillside, and there was a main road in the middle. It was the only passage between the two counties. If they wanted to send reinforcements, they would have to pass through here. On both sides is a slope, the slope is not low. Huang Feng placed the cavalry at the back. As for the infantry, they hid on the slope twice. There were weeds as tall as half a person here, so it was not a problem to hide.
The time after that was relatively simple, which was to wait. Waiting for the enemy to appear, although Xinqi County was not far away, however, because the original plan was to wait two days later... Hence, there were no preparations there. It would definitely take some time for the troops to be mobilized. Therefore, Huang Feng and the others could only wait patiently.
There were many mosquitoes and insects in the weeds, and the soldiers could endure it. After all, they had experienced even more difficult conditions before. Huang Feng was worried that Su Yumo and the other girls would not be able to bear it, especially girls who were more afraid of insects.
"Don't think that we are so unbearable, okay?" Su Yumo understood Huang Feng's worry and rolled her eyes at him. "Although our family background is not bad, she said. But... They are not pampered people. This kind of suffering is still bearable."
In fact, the girls weren't used to it at first. However, they quickly adjusted themselves. They didn't come here to cause trouble for Huang Feng. Therefore, they could only overcome the obstacles in their hearts. Fortunately... Their adaptability was not bad, and they adapted very quickly.
"I'm just afraid that you won't get used to it." Huang Feng smiled and said, "Actually, you really don't have to suffer."
"What suffering? We don't feel like we're suffering when we're with you." Tang Muxue said as she slapped a bug that crawled onto her feet.
"Yeah, the others can bear it, so we can definitely do it too." Li Bingyun also said.
Seeing the resolute expressions on the girls' faces, Huang Feng didn't say anything else. He was also touched in his heart. He knew that the girls were thinking for him and didn't want to give him more trouble.
Fortunately, this kind of ambush did not last long. In the afternoon, Huang Feng and the people on the hillside saw the dust flying far away. Clearly, a large group had come.
The people they were waiting for had appeared!
