Chapter 421: Soldiers approach the city
In the capital, Mo Zizai couldn't help but feel a little surprised after receiving the news from the northern border.
Before, Kou Yi just told him that the barbarians were unified and asked the court to allocate food to resist the barbarian invasion. He also as a condition that he assembled the Divine Bow Camp in his own name and let them join his command.
At that time, Mo Zi was thinking that he could make a profit even if he was just used to exchange the Shengong Camp, so he transferred 100,000 loads of grain and grass without hesitation. However, he did not expect that Kou Yi's so-called resistance was such a method of resistance.
No matter how you look at the transaction of 200,000 dan of food and grass in exchange for Yanling Mountain, it is a good deal. Although Kou Yi said that Wulianghe must have a conspiracy, Mo Zizai didn't care at all. As long as the barbarians could be quiet for a few months, no matter what conspiracy he had, he could not stop him from "educating" them in a few months.
So after reading these things, Mo Zizai threw them aside. The most urgent task now is to defeat the coalition forces of the southern family. As long as they can be cleaned up, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be initially settled. No matter what he wants to do, there will be no constraints.
The news from Yang Yanzhang two days ago said that Situ Yao's main force was about to arrive in Guangling City, and it is estimated that the war will only take place in these few days.
Originally, Mo Zizai was about to leave for Guangling a few days ago, but because a batch of equipment created by the Military Weapons Bureau will be completed in the next few days, Mo Zizai decided to wait a few days later. After the forging of these military weapons, he personally escorted the military weapons to Guangling City City, and then he would give Situ Yao a surprise.
Anyway, most of the damaged railways are concentrated in Yuanling County. Although the rest of the roads are damaged, the number is very small. After this period of repair, except for Guangling County, the traffic has basically been restored. Therefore, it takes only four or five days to get from the capital to Guangling County. There is no need to worry about not being able to catch up with this war.
Just as Mo Zizai was about to go to Guangling City, Situ Yao's army had arrived outside Guangling City at this time.
Nearly 500,000 soldiers were camping outside Guangling City. Standing on the top of Guangling City, looking around, there were soldiers all over the mountains and fields. This number of people alone could put great psychological pressure on people.
"This Situ Yao is worthy of being the military advisor of the Tianmen Army. The 500,000 troops were actually managed by him in an orderly manner."
Yang Yanzhang and Han Qu were standing at the top of the city to observe the enemy situation. The 500,000 troops came from different families and had uneven strengths, but there was no sign of chaos in the camp. Situ Yao asked them to build five camps according to their power.
Moreover, the locations of these five camps are arranged very cleverly. If Guangling City sends troops to attack the camp, no matter which camp is attacked, the other four can quickly send troops to provide assistance, which can be said to be linked together.
After watching for a while, Yang Yanzhang suddenly said, "While he has not yet established a stable foothold, I will take the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry out to give them some warnings and sluggish their morale."
The number of troops of 500,000 was too large. Even Yang Yanzhang and Han Qu were a little psychological pressure when they saw it, let alone those soldiers guarding the city. So Yang Yanzhang decided to take the initiative to attack and win a victory first to increase his morale.
"It's okay to go out of the city to slash their aura."
Although Han Qu was once a member of the Tianmen Army, he went there late. When he went to guard the border, Situ Yao had already returned to Qianjiang by then, so he had no scruples about Situ Yao and directly agreed to Yang Yanzhang's plan.
However, after agreeing, he reminded him: "As the former military advisor of the Tianmen Army, Situ Yao cannot be afraid of our robbery, so General Yang must be careful when he goes there. If things cannot be done, he must retreat as soon as possible. I will send someone out of the city to pick you up."
"There must be some defense. I have the Red Flame Dragon Knight, and I don't believe he can defend it."
Yang Yanzhang smiled at the enemy outside the city, and then spoke confidently: "Today I will let them know what is truly powerful."
Although Han Qu felt that Yang Yanzhang was a little arrogant when he heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he thought of the five thousand red flame dragon cavalry.
These five thousand red flame dragon cavalry are all in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, which is equivalent to his cultivation before coming to Mo Zi here. Moreover, these five thousand themselves are all covered in armor and have red blood dragon cavalry like monsters under their seats. Yang Yanzhang does have the capital to be proud of such an invincible army.
If it weren't for the fact that Situ Yao's army had too many, I'm afraid these 5,000 people would not have to defend the city and could have directly swept Situ Yao's army.
Therefore, Han Qu shook his head and stopped talking, but just bowed his hand and said, "Since that's the case, I wish General Yang a victory."
"Thank you, General Han."
Yang Yanzhang bowed and said nothing more. Although Yuanling County is nominal commander, he is generally only responsible for the direct army, while Han Qu is responsible for the newly recruited 100,000 Shenwei Army. Therefore, although the two are superiors and subordinates, they usually discuss anything. Unless they have different opinions and no one can convince each other, Yang Yanzhang will make the decision by himself, but this kind of thing rarely happens.
The Red Flame Dragon Cavalry was stationed in the city. As Yang Yanzhang issued a military order, the five thousand Red Flame Dragon Cavalry had all assembled without even the effort of a cup of tea.
After several major battles, the Red Flame Dragon Knight can be called an iron-blooded elite. Five thousand people sat on the horse's back with a strong aura, and their murderous aura almost penetrated their bodies.
These neat and uniform red flame dragon cavalry were fully armed. In addition to the armor on their bodies and the bows and arrows created by the Military Arms Bureau last time, they also brought an extra quiver, which contained ordinary arrows and fifty quiveres in one quiver.
After all, although that kind of special arrow is powerful, it is also expensive. Now they are just going out of the city to harass it. It is really a waste to use that arrow, so they specially brought this pot of ordinary arrows. Anyway, the Red Blood Dragon's ability to carry more things is no problem.
Yang Yanzhang looked at the silent Red Flame Dragon Knight and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Now the Red Flame Dragon Knight can do absolutely prohibition, so he didn't need to mobilize any more. He rode his horse to the Red Flame Dragon Knight and said in a deep voice: "The coalition of aristocratic families came from afar, so we hosts must leave the city to welcome them, and do our best to the landlords."
"promise!"
The expression of the five thousand red flame dragon cavalry did not fluctuate at all, neither the excitement before the war nor the fear of going out of the city to fight, as if Yang Yanzhang just said that he wanted to go out of the city to fight, but said that he wanted to go out of the city to go out on an outing.
"well"
Yang Yanzhang nodded, then stopped saying anything, and issued an order to the city gate official, indicating that he would open the city gate.
Just as Yang Yanzhang took the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry out of the city, Situ Yao also received news from the camp.
"The leader of the alliance is like a god, and Yang Yanzhang has indeed sent troops."
Hearing the news from the people below, a head of a noble family couldn't help but flatter Situ Yao.
"This is not difficult to guess."
Situ Yao had no slight pride on his face. He explained lightly: "Now that we have just arrived and have not yet established a foothold. Yang Yanzhang has the invincible Red Flame Dragon Knight in his hand. Naturally, he cannot just let us set up a camp with peace of mind, so he will definitely choose to send troops to harass him."
