Outside Bingzhou City, it suddenly rained heavily today. The northwest sky has never had such extreme weather. Heavy rainy weather is extremely unfavorable for the guardian, because the city walls in Bingzhou are mostly rammed with clay. Under the heavy rain, the huge stones thrown by the catapult carts hit the city walls hard. The city walls in many places are unable to withstand such a large force, so the city walls collapsed and the city defense of Bingzhou became increasingly tense.

This time, Lu Zheng personally led the army to send troops to Bingzhou. The two generals who followed were Xiao Ran and Kuang Zi. These two had grown from ordinary lieutenants in the Southern Palace Army to one general. They each led 20,000 troops to guard Lu Zheng. From the beginning of the battle in Bingzhou, the two fought to the death, so the battle situation was particularly tragic.

Although Chuan Shanyue, the defender of Bingzhou, was not as good as Lu Zheng in his wisdom and was defeated repeatedly with Lu Zheng, the bravery of defending the city was comparable to Song Wensong. This time, Chuan Shanyue vowed to live and die with Bingzhou, so he took out all his abilities since the war started. Both sides of the offense and defense accumulated enough strength, and Lu Zheng was blocked from attacking Bingzhou!

"The war does have its own inevitable rules, and any speculation will cost you. This battle between the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army is only concerned with the rise and fall of the forces of both sides, but in fact, this matter is related to the overall situation of the world. The whole world's eyes are now focused on our Liaodong. It's really lively!" Lu Zheng said lightly, and he suddenly stood up and said:

"Can we take Bingzhou?"

Xiao Ran said with a shame: "Prince, there are many defenders in the mountains and mountains of Bingzhou. If the prince can lead the elite troops to come this time, we will probably have a greater confidence in taking Bingzhou. Now... there is really no need for 60,000 people to guard Yanmen Pass!"

Lu Zheng led an army of 100,000 and left more than 60,000 at Yanmen Pass. Therefore, the army that sieges this time was actually only 40,000 troops, and the defenders in Bingzhou City also had about 40,000 troops, so the power of the siege side had no absolute advantage, and it was too difficult to break through the opponent's city.

Although Sichuan Shanyue fled westward and was still in shock, although Lu Zheng predicted that Song Naifeng would not dare to guard Bingzhou personally, and the guards in Bingzhou City would not be too strong, the natural law of war was iron law, and the laws of war in the cold weapon era were sometimes difficult to overcome!

The battle situation was intense, and Longyou was also very nervous at this time, but compared to Song Naifeng's whip, Lu Zheng had to be much calmer. Even though the overall situation in the world was changing, it was always the same. Lu Zheng's grasp of the entire battle situation had actually taken the absolute initiative after he took over Yanmen Pass.

Xiao Ran suggested that Kuang Zi would be much more direct. He said in a silence: "Prince, I am a rough man and don't understand those twists and turns. That's right. Now we can't take Bingzhou anymore, and Huangzhou may be lost at any time. Once Huangzhou is lost, Qin Yesi's army will come from behind. How can we rely on Yanmen Pass, which is a pass, ensure that we can move forward and retreat freely?

At this time, we should burn our boats and let General Liu Song lead the entire army to provide rapid reinforcements. We will take down Bingzhou in one go. In this way, the world will be smooth and we will be able to advance and retreat freely when our troops point to it!"

Lu Zheng laughed, suddenly arose, and said, "Kuangzi, Kuangzi, you are still a rough person! I heard your analysis so well, it is reasonable and almost irrefutable. Is this still something that a rough person can say?"

When Lu Zheng said this, Kuangzi felt a little embarrassed. His appearance was really rough and shy, and his appearance made people look very awkward. He said, "Prince, you naturally saw what you said. I think the prince has other plans!"

Xiao Ran said: "Prince, today is here, I am really anxious. Prince, things have come to this point, your next move should be gone!"

Lu Zheng sat down, looked back at the boy, and said, "How many days have you been in Huangzhou?"

The boy said: "Report to the young master, Huangzhou has been guarding for ten days, and the city defense is in danger. Qin Yesi's army surrounded Huangzhou in all directions. If this continues, Huangzhou's city defense cannot continue..."

Lu Zheng said: "Issue Liu Song the order that Liu Song all leads the cavalry to raid Huangzhou. You must travel at night and then dare to attack suddenly at dawn. Remember, the northwest cavalry should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the raid, we would definitely suffer heavy losses. Also, once we attack, we cannot retreat. We must bite our opponents to death and never give them a chance to breathe!"

When Lu Zheng said this, the audience was shocked, especially Xiao Ran and Kuang Zi. Look at me, look at you, look at you, look at each other, obviously they were very surprised.

It turns out that the army led by Liu Song was not actually in Yanmen Pass, but had been secretly lying in the west of Huangzhou. They were waiting for the opportunity to raid the Northwest Army that was sieging the city at any time!

Qin Yesi besieged Huangzhou for ten days, and he must have felt a long time ago. Under such circumstances, his initial vigilance must have been lost and he put his whole mind on the battle of siege. Under such circumstances, Lu Zheng suddenly attacked, and Liu Song's army would definitely succeed with one strike!

There are two key elements for cavalry combat. The first element is the integrity of the battle formation, and the second element is the smooth communication. The army is opening and closing, Lu Zheng suddenly attacks, and Qin Yesi's army invading the city may not even have time to get on the horse. This is Lu Zheng's first plan.

The second plan is that Qin Yesi is now besieging Huangzhou City. Relying on Huangzhou City as the center, there are attacking soldiers on all sides. In this case, their communication is absolutely impossible to guarantee. Lu Zheng asked Liu Song to concentrate his superior forces to attack, attack from one side, and then quickly erode the surrounding areas. This attack is a defeat against the Northwest Army. With this battle, the Northwest Army will inevitably face a major blow.

Lu Zheng told the strategy of using troops. Xiao Ran and Kuang Zi were so impressed that they realized that Lu Zheng had no intention of really attacking Bingzhou from the beginning, and then sent troops to the Central Plains or threatening Longyou.

Lu Zheng took down Yanmen Pass and then quickly marched into Bingzhou, causing Song Naifeng and Chuanshanyue to make wrong judgments, thinking that Lu Zheng would do his best to transfer the army from Liaodong to the Central Plains!

In fact, Lu Zheng's plan to abandon Liaodong is a real and false. If Song Naifeng was really determined to seek Liaodong, Lu Zheng would simply give up Shengjing and abandon Liaodong to take the Central Plains. However, after Lu Zheng captured Yanmen Pass, the situation had completely changed. Lu Zheng could naturally change his strategy and take back the abandoned Liaodong again, and wait for an opportunity to teach the Northwest Army a huge lesson!

It is no exaggeration to say that if Lu Zheng had not given up decisively, he would not have been able to move forward and retreat as freely as he is now. Such a tactic is not uncommon, because in the world where Lu Zheng lives, there is a great man who would have military ideas that he would not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place.

Regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a place, despising the enemy strategically, attaching importance to the enemy tactically, concentrating superior forces to defeat the enemy one by one, etc. These are all well-known to Lu Zheng, and they are cleverly applied to this battle between the two sides. Just imagine that although Song Naifeng is powerful, Lu Zheng is standing on the shoulders of the giant. Even if the two face each other like this, Song Naifeng may not be able to gain a advantage!

Song Naifeng was too confident in the use of troops in Liaodong. He thought he was familiar with Liaodong. For him, Liaodong was the home court and despised Lu Zheng's possible counterattack, so the Liaodong army was a arrogant soldier from the beginning.

Lu Zheng knew himself and his enemy, and used his strengths in intelligence to continuously search for the Northwest Army's plans to send troops. The war had not begun, and Lu Zheng had already set up the Northwest Army's troops. On the contrary, Song Naifeng had no idea about Lu Zheng's intentions. After the 30,000 troops from Sichuan Mountain were lured into the canyon east of Huangzhou and were destroyed, when Lu Zheng's troops were approached by Yanmen Pass, Song Naifeng realized that Lu Zheng had all the troops from Liaodong to go out of Yanmen Pass.

At that time, Song Naifeng was still optimistic because he felt that Yanmen Pass was as solid as a god. As long as he guarded Yanmen Pass and then let Qin Yesi's army attack Huangzhou, the Northwest Army used troops from both sides, which was enough to force Lu Zheng to fight to the decisive battle.

In fact, if Song Naifeng really defended Yanmen Pass, the occupation might not be as optimistic as he thought, because Lu Zheng had a plan to attack Yanmen Pass. It was fake to attack Yanmen Pass, and it was real to surround Yanmen Pass to attack aid. There was Song Naifeng in Yanmen Pass. Song Naifeng was in danger. How could Qin Yesi not save him?

Qin Yesi turned from the hinterland of Liaodong to Huangzhou. Song Wensong in Huangzhou was the first hurdle he needed to pass. Lu Zheng only needed to hide the main force near Huangzhou. Just like now, Huangzhou City could not be captured for a long time. Qin Yesi was impatient and wanted to do his best. Lu Zheng could do his main force and launch a surprise attack on Qin Yesi's army. Qin Yesi suffered a heavy blow, and then Lu Zheng sent all the troops from Liaodong to attack Yanmen Pass. Song Naifeng lost his inner support, and Yanmen Pass could not defend at all.

As long as Song Naifeng withdrew from Yanmen Pass, his military use against Liaodong will be completely defeated this time, and Lu Zheng will completely reverse the situation through this great victory, and the situation in the world will be restored to balance again.

Lu Zheng's strategy has long been planned, but the reality is further than Lu Zheng thought. The key is that Song Naifeng did not dare to defend himself at Yanmen Pass, so Lu Zheng used a little force to capture the pass.

Lu Zheng took down Yanmen Pass, which was equivalent to completely cutting off the liaison between the northwest and Liaodong, and making Qin Yesi's 100,000 troops a turtle in the jar. Lu Zheng would not easily leave the Central Plains, because no matter how large the territory it occupied was, it was not as important as destroying the enemy's living power. As long as you find an opportunity to wipe out Qin Yesi's 100,000 troops, Song Naifeng suffered a heavy blow that he could hardly bear. If he suffered this heavy blow, it would probably not be a matter of time for Song Naifeng to make a comeback.

The Northwest Army is elusive and has strong combat power. Moreover, they are all cavalry. The characteristics of cavalry are that they come and go like the wind. Liaodong is a flat horse and is their natural battlefield.

What's even more terrifying is that such a large cavalry, once they plunder in Liaodong, the people of Liaodong are afraid of using their unrest. Moreover, if Lu Zheng really wants to grab them with such a force, the two sides will face each other directly and fight head-on Lu Zheng may not necessarily gain the upper hand.

Therefore, although Lu Zheng’s idea of ​​catching a turtle in a jar is good, if the plan is not thorough and the plan is inappropriate, it may become a turtle that is not caught, and instead a good net will be ruined.

Therefore, the focus of Lu Zheng's strategy of catching turtles is Huangzhou. He used Song Wensong to let him defend Huangzhou, because he was attracted by Song Wensong's first-class combat power in the world. There must be no fewer soldiers to defend Huangzhou. Too fewer soldiers are not enough to confuse opponents and enemies. There should not be too many soldiers to defend Huangzhou, because there are too many soldiers, the opponent may give up attacking Huangzhou, and play hide-and-seek with Lu Zheng on the periphery. Now Song Wensong in Huangzhou is holding on for ten days, and Qin Yesi cannot make achievements in ten days. The battle between the two sides has reached this point, and both sides are red-eyed. This has just allowed Lu Zheng to find a fighter opportunity. At this time, the time is right. The battle in Liaodong can be determined by this battle!

Lu Zheng dispatched troops and the battle situation in Huangzhou was quickly promoted, while Lu Zheng ordered a quick retreat in Bingzhou. Bingzhou could not capture him, so he quickly retreated to Yanmen Pass, guarded Yanmen Pass, and blocked Qin Yesi's last escape route. That was the real turtle in the jar!

...

The weather in Longyou turned cold, a heavy snow fell, the sky and the earth were white, and the weather was cold and the earth was frozen.

Longyou is cold, and Liaodong is definitely not much stronger. Outside the Yin'an Hall of the royal palace, Song Naifeng walked on the snow with his hands on his back. His anxiety was unspeakable. The civil and military officials following him were all sweating on their foreheads, which seemed particularly abrupt under the ice and snowy scenery.

"Don't be impatient. According to the latest battle report, the guards of Huangzhou are at the end of their strength. General Qin issued a military order and will definitely capture Huangzhou within three days! On the other hand, Chuan Shanyue clearly stated in the report that Bingzhou City is as solid as a rock. Although Lu Zheng personally led a large army to attack the city, he had no contribution to fighting for many days.

He also said that Lu Zheng's Nanfu army was not good at siegeing cities. Their siege equipment was insufficient, and Sichuan Mountains and mountains guaranteed that the city of Bingzhou could be worry-free within ten days!"

The civil servants following behind him kept reporting the most urgent military information at the moment. Judging from the military information, it was all good news, but Song Naifeng was still anxious. He fought for the rest of his life and fought for the rest of his life. At critical moments, his keenness is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The news that came for three consecutive days was good news, and Song Naifeng became more and more wrong, because he found that when he was fighting in person, there were accidents every day, Chuanshanyue was accidentally wiped out, Yanmen Pass was accidentally lost, and Bingzhou City was unexpectedly difficult to defend.

Now, Song Naifeng left the battlefield and returned to Longyou. The situation on the battlefield was very good, and this was definitely not true!

"Things will definitely not be that simple, absolutely not simple! Let Chuan Shanyue not be careless, and let Qin Yesi ensure that he will conquer Huangzhou at the maximum speed. Only by taking Huangzhou can the battle be stable!" Song Naifeng said.

"Father, don't worry. I have reinforced him with 20,000 new troops on the side of Chuanshanyue. In addition, the food and grass transported to Bingzhou have already set off and will arrive within a few days. The city defense of Bingzhou is as solid as a soup, and we have a secret way to transport grain. Such a strong city, let alone guarding for ten days, may Lu Zheng not be able to capture it in one month!" Song Wenjie strode forward and walked behind his father, lowering his voice.

Song Naifeng said "hey" without answering his words, and he took a step faster. The direction Song Naifeng was heading was the Military Affairs Office. This was the first stop for military information. It was obvious that Song Naifeng was particularly concerned about the military information on the front line and was already impatient for the news from the two places.
