Chapter 202 Sunset City
Passion was surging, and the most primitive desires were burning. As the three women moaned, Ye Feng finally let out a long breath, trembled all over, and the essence of life spurted out.
Back in the military camp, the three women's faces were already flushed, and they fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After more than ten days of running around, the army finally arrived outside Sunset City as scheduled.
Sunset City is a border city in the northwest, surrounded by yellow sand. An isolated city stands alone in the yellow sand. A strong wind blew up and the clouds flew. When the army arrived, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and the yellow sand flew all over the sky.
Unable to open his eyes, Ye Feng couldn't help but cursed secretly, saying that he really had no fault for coming to this place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs.
The army of Northwest King Ye Yuan has been besieging the city for a month, but they have besieged the city on three sides, leaving only the north empty. But I don’t know what it means. If the army of 300,000 soldiers of the Northwest King had attacked the city, I am afraid that Sunset City would have been captured long ago.
, but they only besieged the city instead of attacking it, which puzzled Ye Feng.
When the army entered the city from the north gate, Ye Feng saw that the city was in a mess. Many people were huddled in front of his door. Their faces were gray and their bodies were dirty. It must have been that they had been besieging the city for a long time and had no food and grass. They were so hungry.
Yes. In wars, the people who suffer the most are often the civilians. They want to flee the city, but as soon as they arrive at the city gate, they are shot dead. They die when they go forward, and they die when they retreat. It seems that the only way left for them is death.
Character.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel sad and sad. Although Ye Feng was a gangster, he never bullied ordinary people. Seeing this scene, how could he not feel sad. However, he also wanted to understand Northwest
Why did Wang Yeyuan delay in attacking the city, but only surrounded it?
Although there seems to be no one on the north side, in fact no one can leave the city. It is obvious that there is an ambush here. But Ye Feng doesn't understand where the ambush lurks in such an open place.
It was obvious that Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, was waiting for the imperial army to arrive. He knew that the imperial court had millions of soldiers guarding various places, but if they gathered to surround and annihilate him, how could his mere 300,000 troops resist him? Therefore, he surrounded Sunset City
If he stays there and does not attack for a long time, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to conquer him when he sees this situation. However, there are many factions in the imperial court, which will inevitably restrain each other, so there will not be too many soldiers. He just wants to wait for this army to arrive.
Then encircle and annihilate it to consume the imperial military power. Moreover, Sunset City has been besieged for a long time, and there is no food and grass in the city. When the army arrives, there is no food and grass, so it will be defeated without fighting.
Before Ye Feng went on the expedition, the northwest king Ye Yuan had already heard the secret report. When he learned that the general who was going to conquer the west this time was Ye Feng, he couldn't help but laugh wildly. There was no one in the court, so he actually sent a kid who only knew how to drink and lust to go on the expedition. This
This was his first feeling. He also saw the dawn of victory and saw himself conquering the capital and taking the throne.
All he has to do now is to wait. When Ye Feng's army has no food and grass available, the morale of the army will be in chaos. He is not afraid that food and grass will come to supply him, because in such an empty desert, with an army of 300,000 people guarding here, how can the food and grass be lost?
Go into the city.
All the civil and military officials in Sunset City came in front of Ye Feng's horse to guide him. The army Ye Feng had already asked Zeng Shuai to move to the city tower. Only he, the three women and Lin Hu followed them to the prefect's mansion.
It is inconvenient for women to participate in military and state affairs, so the three daughters Sun Yan, Xiaoqian and Keer said goodbye to Ye Feng and went to the room arranged by the prefect Zao. Ye Feng knew that they were running around and working hard, so he did not stop them.
, Besides, I will also ask about some military information and the situation in the city later, and I am afraid that the three of them will lose their mouths.
Entering the lobby of the Prefect's Mansion, Ye Feng walked straight to the middle seat and sat down. Lin Hu sat aside, but the other civil and military officials in Sunset City were trembling and did not even dare to raise their heads.
After a moment of silence, Ye Feng said lightly: "Everyone, please sit down."
The officials thanked him and sat down in panic.
"Prefect Xie, please briefly explain the situation in the city." Ye Feng said.
Xie Xun turned slightly to one side in fear and said: "Come to General Marshal, Sunset City has been besieged for more than a month, and the city has run out of ammunition and food. If there is no more food and grass, I'm afraid Sunset City will collapse without attack."
Ye Feng snorted coldly and asked, "Have the rich households in the city donated food and grass?"
Xie Xun replied tremblingly: "Xiaguan had discussed with the wealthy households in the city many days ago and asked them to lend them food, but...but..."
"But what?" Ye Feng asked coldly.
"But they refused to borrow food," Xie Xun said.
Two cold gleams flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, which made people shudder. Under such circumstances, those wealthy households still only care about themselves, and they suddenly didn't realize that the city was about to be destroyed. However, when I thought about it, I understood that even if Sunset City was destroyed
The army of Ye Yuan, the king of the northwest, broke through. After thinking about it, it would not embarrass the wealthy households. They could still live their own luxurious life. Ye Feng really didn't understand how such a useless person could sit on the position of prefect. At this critical moment, there was no need to discuss.
If we directly send troops to surround their mansion, how dare they not bring out the food?
With a "bang" sound, Ye Feng slapped the table heavily. Because he was so angry, he struck even harder, and the entire table was immediately shattered into pieces. The civil and military officials lowered their heads in fear and remained silent.
."Go, tell me the wealthy people in the city, and tell them that I want them to come and meet." Ye Feng said coldly.
"Yes, yes!" the prefect responded hurriedly and retreated.
"Wait!" As soon as the prefect retreated outside the door, he was stopped by Ye Feng again.
Xie Xun turned around in fear and said tremblingly: "Marshal... Marshal, do you have any other orders?"
"Tell the people in the city to gather in front of the government office in the evening to distribute food on a per-person basis," Ye Feng said.
Xie Xun opened his eyes wide in astonishment and said in embarrassment: "But... but where do we get food?"
"Go if you are told. Where does all this nonsense come from?" Ye Feng shouted coldly.
Xie Xun trembled all over and hurriedly retreated.
"General Xie, please tell me about the current defense issues in the city." Ye Feng turned to look at another young man in his early thirties and said.
This person is the guard of Sunset City, his name is Xie Chen, and he is the only son of Prefect Xie Xun. When Ye Feng heard this situation, he couldn't believe it. The civil servants and military generals in the same place were actually one family. This was a very serious matter.
He also secretly swore that if he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely eliminate this phenomenon. Not only that, but also follow the example of the top Chinese officials. All local officials have a term of three years, and when the term is up, they will be transferred to him.
This can also eliminate the self-importance of those officials and generals who support troops.
"There were originally about 30,000 defenders in the city, but a few days ago there was an attempt to break out and a head-on confrontation with the Northwest King's rebels. Most of them were killed or injured. Now there are only less than 10,000 troops in the city." Xie Chen replied.
Ye Feng sighed helplessly. Only a mere 30,000 people dared to confront the Northwest King's 300,000 troops head-on. Ye Feng had to admit that this Xie Chen really had "courage" and "courage". Now here too
There are only less than 10,000 troops, plus his own army of 100,000, which is still less than half of the northwest king Ye Yuan. There is a huge disparity in strength. Moreover, there are desert plains outside the city, which is not conducive to an ambush. As soon as his army leaves the city,
, it is bound to be besieged by the army of Northwest King Ye Yuan, which is very detrimental to itself. However, it is not known when the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive. If it is too late, my army of 100,000 will probably starve to death here.
"Deputy Commander Lin, do you have any good ideas?" Ye Feng turned to look at Lin Hu and asked.
Lin Hu replied: "There is a huge disparity in strength between the two armies, and the terrain is also very unfavorable to us, but we have a chance to win. Now, the morale of the rebels in the northwest king Ye Yuan is high, and we are exhausted due to the long journey.
In addition, Sunset City has suffered successive defeats and its morale is low. If our army wants to win, the first thing we must solve is the problem of morale."
Ye Feng nodded. He had to admit that what Lin Hu said made sense. When two armies faced off, the main reason for the victory was because of high morale. Morale is an important condition for the two armies to face off.
Lin Hu continued: "The rebels of the northwest king Ye Yuan besieged the city on three sides. In the south, his general Zhang Hu led an army of 80,000 people. To the west, general Zhao Long led an army of 100,000 people. To the east, the northwest king Ye Yuan personally led an army of 100,000 people.
, although there are only 20,000 people on the north side, it is more difficult to attack the outside of the city than on the other three sides. The armies on the east and west sides, according to their defenses, are monitoring the north side at all times. As long as we try to get out from the north gate, we will definitely be attacked.
We found two armies to encircle and annihilate. I think the reason why we were able to enter the city so easily this time is that the northwest king Ye Yuan deliberately let us in so that our army could be surrounded and annihilated in the city. Therefore, if we want to go out of the city, we must come from other places.
Hit it on three sides."
Ye Feng frowned. Lin Hu's analysis was good, but it was not the answer he wanted. What Ye Feng wanted was how to annihilate the Northwest King's rebels, not how to escape his army from the city. If so, what was the need for him?
They came all the way to support. "Does Deputy Commander Lin have any plans to destroy the enemy?" Ye Feng asked.
Lin Hu snorted, raised his head and said, "I am just a deputy general. The marshal must have already figured out how to destroy the enemy."
After hearing what he said, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel slightly angry. It seemed that before Lin Hu went on the expedition, Lin Shen, the head of the Zitong Lin family, must have asked him to ignore the military and let Ye Feng handle all military affairs alone. It was obvious that they wanted Ye Feng to lose and that Ye Feng
Death. Although the northwest king Ye Yuan claims to have an army of three hundred thousand, if Ye Feng dies, the three major families will definitely use all their strength to wipe out the army of the northwest king Ye Yuan. The imperial court has a million troops, as long as the three major families see that Ye Feng is dead and have no worries, they will naturally
With everyone coming out and Ye Feng's death, everyone is bound to share the same hatred. The fate of Northwest King Ye Yuan can be imagined.
