Chapter 702: Decisive Battle (I)

Yunxi frowned, rode a tall horse, and came to a hill outside Liyang City. Looking at the gradually closing Liyang City Gate, his heart gradually sank.

"Fell into a trap!"

"Xi Xiongtu, this old fox, has become so cunning!"

"The troops in Liyang City must be weak, otherwise, Xi Xiongtu would never close the city gate."

"Return to the camp!"

With a low shout, he immediately rode his horse and led more than ten followers to the camp below. The generals looked at Yunxi's figure, and the stone hanging in their hearts fell.

"General!"

"Pass my order to attack the city!"

"Yes!"

Yunxi looked at the generals around him and said in a deep voice: "Send out scouts to closely monitor the rear and the movements of our army's wings, and search the mountains and forests to see if there are any ambushes from Dali."

"Yes!"

Military orders were issued one after another, and Dayan's main force also began to move. Now the situation has become very delicate. Whether it is for Dali or Dayan, the balance of victory and defeat may tilt towards one side at any time.

"Report!"

"General, General Wu was ambushed outside Yizhou City, and his entire army was wiped out!"

"What!"

Yunxi's face immediately changed, and he looked at the disheveled scout: "How many troops did Dali send out?"

"Tens of thousands of cavalry, and the defenders in Yizhou City, are now rushing towards Liyang City."

"What a trick to sneak into Chencang!"

Yunxi looked in the direction of Liyang City, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Send an order, and ask Yun Rang and the other three to gather together immediately and return to Liyang City!"

"Yes!"

"I hope it's not too late!"

Yunxi murmured to himself, and the staff beside him also had a deep expression, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Marshal, since the Li army is attacking from the direction of Yizhou City, do we still need to attack the city?"

"Huh!"

"Attack!"

Yunxi's eyes showed some determination, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the Great Li has set up an ambush outside Yizhou City, then Liyang City must be empty. This is our only chance. Otherwise, I will return home in defeat, and I will not be willing to do so!"

"Send an order, send 100,000 troops to ambush the Li army in the direction of Yizhou City!"

"Yes!"

...

On the tower of Liyang.

Ning Fan looked at the latest movements of the Yan army on the military sand table, and nodded secretly. Yunxi's command ability can indeed rank among the best in the world.

If he didn't have a system, he might not be qualified to compete with him.

"Marshal Xi, if Dayan sends 100,000 troops to ambush Qu Yan's troops, how should we deal with it?"

"We can only wait!"

"Wait?"

Ning Fan's eyes showed a strange color. Now looking at Dayan's posture, it seems that he is going to attack the city.

But there are only 50,000 soldiers in Liyang City, and they lost more than a thousand people in the battle just now. There are still more than 200,000 Yan troops outside the city. Even if they want to help Qu Yan, they can't split the troops.

"Shang Xu!"

"I'm here!"

"Where is Zhang Han stationed now?"

"Reporting to the commander, Zhang Han disappeared after attacking the Yan Army camp that day!"

"Hmm?"

Xi Xiongtu frowned slightly and said softly: "Where is Gu Yun?"

"I can't contact him either."

"Huh!"

"It seems that we can only leave it to fate."

Xi Xiongtu showed a bitter smile on his face. Now that Liyang City has been sealed, it is difficult to spread the news.

And Qu Yan is a veteran in the army, and his agility is unquestionable. Even if Dayan divides 100,000 soldiers to ambush, the outcome is still unknown!

"No need to worry!"

"Zhang Han's army is already on its way westward. I'm afraid that Yan's army will collide with Zhang Han's army before ambushing Qu Yan's cavalry!"

"What!"

Hearing Ning Fan's words, Xi Xiongtu's face was also a little surprised. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

"Then...what about Gu Yun?"

"Your Highness, can you figure out Gu Yun's whereabouts?"

"Gu Yun..."

Ning Fan frowned slightly. His dynamic military sand table only has a range of fifty miles, but within the range, Gu Yun's troops were not found.

This is a bit strange.

Now the news that Dayan and Dali are about to start a decisive battle is not a secret. Gu Yun must know it, but now, they are not in the finals?

"Don't worry, they will appear naturally when they should appear!"

"I hope!"

Marshal Xi has been thinking about lying down. Since this gentleman appeared, he found that some things have gradually been out of his control.

However, the situation is getting better!

I hope that Your Highness can create another miracle!

"Here they come!"

"Who's here?"

"Gu Yun, the one Xi Shuai has been thinking about!"

"Hmm?"

Xi Xiongtu looked suspicious, but Ning Fan was carefully observing the dynamic military sand table in his mind. Green dots kept appearing within the sand table. The front army had already arrived at the bank of the Nitrate River and was about to start crossing the river.

It must be Gu Yun's army.

"Where are Gu Yun's troops now?"

"Crossing the river!"

"Nitrate River?"

"Yes!"

Xi Xiongtu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Gu Yun has only 30,000 cavalrymen under his command. It is not a wise move to cross the river at this time!"

"If the Yan army discovers his whereabouts, I'm afraid..."

"30,000?" Ning Fan's mouth curled up slightly: "Marshal Xi, the current General Gu is not the same as the former General Gu!"

"Gu Yun has gathered nearly 100,000 people under his command!"

"What!"

Looking at Xi Xiongtu's shocked expression, Ning Fan explained calmly: "Although Gu Yun led 30,000 cavalrymen, I handed over Chen Ding's supply camp to him some time ago."

"After wandering in the northern border for so long, it is not difficult to raise a large army!"

"So that's it!"

Xi Xiongtu's face suddenly became excited. Listening to the sound of war drums outside the city, his eyes sparkled: "Gu Yun's 100,000 troops may become the key to my Dali's success!"

"Haha!"

Ning Fan chuckled and clapped his hands gently, and saw two figures appear beside him at the same time.

"My Lord!"

"Yu Huatian, go south immediately and tell Gu Yun that he must arrive in Liyang City before midnight tonight!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ning Yan, tell Qu Yan to cooperate with Zhang Han's army to defeat the 100,000 troops sent by the Yan Army first!"

"Before midnight tonight, come to Liyang City to encircle the Yan Army!"

"Do you understand?"

"Understand, Master!"

Two figures flew out together, and Xi Xiongtu's eyes also bloomed with a gleam of brilliance, and he shouted in a low voice: "Pass my commander's order, prepare for war, the Yan Army's offensive has begun, and you must defend the tower!"

"Yes!"

Teams of fully armed soldiers rushed to the tower, and supplies for defending the city were also sent to the city wall.

A new round of Liyang defense war began again!

"Bang!"

A series of loud noises, hundreds of giant balls with flames flew across the sky and fell towards the tower.

The dark Yan army rushed towards Liyang City frantically!
