Chapter 834 Offensive and defensive changes

In the afternoon, all Fu Tianyan's troops crossed the river and established defenses on the other side of the Yudai River.

Yunzheng and Jia Yao guessed correctly. There were indeed not many caltrops in the river.

Fu Tianyan and the others fished out a mile of river, but only fished out more than thirty caltrops.

But these thirty or so iron caltrops delayed their time for half a day.

Yun Zheng was a little surprised that Lou Yi didn't send anyone to attack Fu Tianyan's troops who were crossing the river.

According to normal circumstances, even if he knew that they could not stop them from crossing the river, Lou Yi should have sent some people to harass their crossing army, killing them one by one, and further delaying their crossing.

But Lou Yi had no such choice.

It feels like Lou Yi just wants to know their movements now, and then he is determined to defend them.

Yun Zheng doesn't know now whether Lou Yi really wants to defend them or is trying to paralyze them.

However, he was still wary.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

He is plotting against Lou Yi, and Lou Yi must be plotting against him!

Yunzheng thought for a moment and then ordered: "Order Qin Qihu, Feng Yu, and Shen Luoyan to immediately lead their troops across the river and establish a defense five miles away from the northeast! Order Beihuan's troops to follow closely and march northwest Establish a defense five miles away! The other troops will escort the grain, grass and baggage, and set up camp immediately after crossing the river!"

As Yunzheng's order was issued, all subsequent ministries immediately took action.

After the thorns in the river were cleared, the time to cross the river was much faster.

Before dark, all the cavalry took the lead in crossing the river and setting up defenses in accordance with Yunzheng's requirements, completely in the posture of storming the pseudo-city.

When it got dark, Lou Yi, who got the news, also rushed from Turtle Back to the Pseudo City.

Lou Yi couldn't care less about rest and immediately called Tie Xiong and his son to inquire about the situation.

Tiexiong did not hesitate and immediately reported: "The enemy's 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry have all crossed the river and launched defenses around it, so that the subsequent army can escort grain, grass and baggage across the river..."

Tie Xiong also reported to Lou Yi in detail the situation of Da Qian's army crossing the river, and patted Lou Yi on the way, saying that Lou Yi's predictions were amazing, and the enemy army was indeed held back for a long time by that little iron caltrop. time.

However, Tiexiong's flattery did not make Lou Yi show any joy.

It only took half a day, and there was really nothing to be happy about.

If Yun Zheng didn't send people to build defenses so far away from the river crossing, he might still be able to learn Yun Zheng's moves, and while Yun Zheng's follow-up troops were escorting grain and grass across the river, he could send people to forcibly raid and burn Yun Zheng's troops. forage.

But Yun Zheng's arrangement was obviously to prevent him from doing this.

The method of burning grain and grass is not feasible for the time being!

This Yunzheng is indeed a character!

Even if the troops are strong and the morale is high, they are still not arrogant and remain cautious.

Such people will basically not reveal fatal flaws, and it is indeed difficult to deal with them.

Lou Yi sighed in his heart and asked again: "Approximately how many people are there in the enemy army?"

Tiexiong replied: "A rough estimate is that there should be 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry, and tens of thousands of infantry. In total, there are probably nearly 100,000 troops! By the way, Your Highness, there seem to be many Beihuan among these people." cavalry."

"Beihuan Cavalry?"

Lou Yiman was surprised, "Are you sure it's the Beihuan cavalry?"

"The general is not sure."

Tiexiong replied: "Anyway, those cavalry are wearing Beihuan's armor."

Everyone knows that Beihuan is now Yunzheng's pawn.

Although those people wore Beihuan's armor, it cannot be ruled out that those people were dressed as cavalry from the Beifu Army.

Is that so?

Lou Yi's mind suddenly became active.

Could it be that Yunzheng also transferred Beihuan's main force?

Is Yunzheng going to gather all the elite troops to destroy Dayue in one fell swoop?

If this is the case, their chance to defeat Yunzheng may be here!

After a moment of silence, Lou Yi asked again: "If Yun Zheng attacks here, are you sure of holding it?"

"Have!"

Tie Tu answered first, looking confident.

Tie Xiong glared at his son angrily, "Your Highness, Tie Tu is young and energetic, so his words cannot be taken seriously."

If it weren't for Lou Yi's presence, Tie Xiong would have wanted to slap his idiot son.

Keep?

Can a mere 20,000 troops stop an army of 100,000?

Did he really think Yun Zheng's reputation was blown out of proportion?

It is a good thing for young people to be high-spirited and unwilling to admit defeat.

But being blindly confident is stupid!

"Oh, really?"

Lou Yi's eyes fell on Tie Xiong, "What do you mean, you don't have the confidence to hold on?"

"In a short period of time, the general will definitely have the confidence to hold on." Tiexiong said, suddenly changing the topic, "But Yunzheng is full of tricks. If he cannot attack for a long time, Yunzheng will definitely use his tricks..."

"Yun Zheng is indeed very cunning." Lou Yi nodded in agreement, "General Tie, don't worry, if Yun Zheng really dares to attack here, the army of Turtle Back City can come to support at any time!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Tie Xiong quickly bowed and saluted.

As long as there are reinforcements.

They were afraid that Lou Yi would let them fight alone.

Afterwards, Lou Yi chatted with Tie Xiong and his son for a while before asking them to step back.

After Tie Xiong and his son left, Lou Yi did not fall asleep, but began to think silently.

Can Yunzheng really attack by force?

He learned how to build a city like this from Yunzheng.

Does Yun Zheng know how to break through the city wall in front of him?

Besides attacking by force, does Yunzheng have any better way?

Or could Yun Zheng just give up the place in front of him and attack other cities?

Lou Yi kept thinking.

He put himself in Yunzheng's position. If he were Yunzheng, how should he choose now?

However, Lou Yi thought about it and couldn't think of a reason.

While Lou Yi was thinking hard, Tie Tu suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, the enemy seems to be crossing the river overnight!"

Crossing the river overnight?

Lou Yi frowned slightly and stood up immediately, "Let's go and take a look!"

Under the leadership of Tie Tu, Lou Yi came to the arrow tower behind the city wall.

At this moment, Tiexiong has also arrived at the arrow tower.

Seeing Lou Yi, Tie Xiong saluted quickly.

"No need to be polite."

Lou Yi raised his hand slightly and looked into the distance.

Standing on the arrow tower, he could clearly see a fire burning in the distance.

Are you really crossing the river overnight?

Lou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is Yunzheng so anxious?

Lou Yi thought for a moment and then ordered: "Let's take a look first! I don't believe that Yunzheng will launch an attack overnight! Just tell him to go down and leave someone to pay attention to the enemy's every move. Don't be too nervous!"

If Yun Zheng really wanted to attack at night, he should be happy.

He was well prepared this time, and those traps alone were enough for Yun Zheng to drink a pot!

Back in Sole River Plain, they attacked day and night for two or three days, but in the end they were unexpectedly defeated by Yun Zheng.

Now that the offense and defense are changing, he really wants to feel what it feels like to be attacked day and night!

It depends on whether Yun Zheng has the courage!
