The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 296 The strategy of siege
To the south of Andu, Xu Yu and Chen Yuhe continued to move forward with a large group of people.

They were marching on foot, so they couldn't increase their speed at all, but after a whole morning's trek, they were only five miles away from the county seat.

Along the way, they killed a large number of zombies and accumulated a lot of skill points for Zhao Yanxun.

But the horse from the front came to report that there was a zombie riot outside Andu, so Xu and Chen decided to take a detour to avoid the riot outside the county.

Their main task this time is to defeat the enemies from the north, not to continue to clean up the zombies.

But when they passed through Andu County, they met two explorers who were returning.

These two are the bodyguards who fought against Zhu's army, they pursued the remnants of the enemy, and with their joint efforts, they captured this person alive.

At this moment, the explorer of the Zhu family's army was kneeling in front of Xu and Chen.

Now he was answering the question, before this explorer had been beaten severely.

"Our people are currently stationed in Tianma Castle, with a total of 420 people!"

While answering, the man couldn't stop vomiting blood out of his mouth, several of his teeth had been knocked out just now.

"Tianma Fort? You got all the weapons and rations inside?" Xu Yu asked in a deep voice.

"There are more than 500 pairs of armor, all of our people are equipped with it, and the weapons are replaced with new ones!"

Hearing this, Xu Yu was so angry that they were all good things.

After the questioning, Xu Yu ordered his subordinates to take the Tanqi officer down, and then discussed countermeasures with Chen Yuhe.

"Tell me, what should I do?" Xu Yu looked serious.

Chen Yuhe frowned and said, "They are well-equipped. Even if we win a tough battle with them, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory... We must find a way to outsmart them!"

"How to outsmart?"

The scene was silent for a while, so Xu Yu summoned the people at the first level of the general banner to let everyone work together.

The changes in the battlefield are very different from the plan of the Privy Council, and they must play their own initiative.

After a long time, Fang Tong, the chief banner, said, "My lord, I have an idea in this humble position!"

As the boss, Chen Yuhe said bluntly: "Say it!"

Fang Tong replied: "These people are hiding in Tianma Castle, we may be able to trap them to death inside!"

"How to trap them to death?" Xu Yu asked.

"In this wilderness, there are so many monsters that can be used by us!"

"Using living creatures to lure monsters to Tianma Castle, we don't need to do anything, these monsters can trap them to death!"

It has to be said that Fang Tong's method is extremely insidious, but it sounds very feasible.

"At that time, if we set fire and arrows in it again, how can they not die?"

After Fang Tong finished speaking, he took two steps back, and it was up to the two hundred households to decide.

I saw Xu Yu took out a map from his arms, which was a copy sent by the Privy Council, which depicted the terrain near Tianma Castle.

"Look at this Tianma Castle, there are mountains on both sides of the east and west, and it is on the edge of the official road that runs through the north and south!"

Xu Yu glanced at the crowd and said, "What Fang Tong said just now makes sense, we can indeed trap these people to death among these mountains!"

Immediately, Xu Yu looked at Chen Yuhe and said, "Send people to guard the passages on the north and south sides, and continuously attract monsters inside, and they will be trapped to death!"

"I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy!" Chen Yuhe said with a frown.

Xu Yu explained: "We are definitely not afraid of head-to-head confrontation, but doing so will make them unable to escape. Don't forget that they still have horses!"

"It's a great thing to push them into a hurry and let them take the initiative to fight us!"

Speaking of this, Xu Yu said with a smile: "This requires more manpower, so Cui Xing'an's troops must also join the siege!"

Spreading the map in front of Chen Yuhe, Xu Yu pointed to the north col of Tianma Castle and said, "Let's guard here, and Cui Xing'an guards the south!"

"Cui Xing'an has a lot of people, but we have few people... When those people want to break through, they will definitely break out to the north, just hitting us!"

Xu Yu's idea was very idealistic, so Chen Yuhe had to think more.

"We only have three days of rations, so in such a short time, we can outsmart them?" Chen Yuhe expressed doubts.

Xu Yu said immediately: "Then let's take it for ten days, and if it's not enough, just add it!"

Seeing Xu Yu's determination, Chen Yuhe didn't have much to say, after all Xu Yu was the commander.

"Then it's settled, Old Chen...you have to help me with all your strength!" Xu Yu said with a smile.

"sure!"

After getting the reply, Xu Yu immediately issued an order: "Send an order to Cui Xing'an, let him lead the army to speed up, and meet me within two hours!"

Xu Yu's military order was immediately conveyed by Pegasus.

In less than 10 minutes, Cui Xing'an, who was on his way behind, received Xu Yu's military order.

"First let me go back, and now let me go to the round, what the hell are you doing!" Cui Xing'an looked dissatisfied.

Of course he is dissatisfied, he is a dignified deputy of a thousand households, being led by the nose by Xu Yu and a hundred households, he must not look good.

Although he was dissatisfied, Cui Xing'an still ordered: "Send the order, let our people hurry up and meet with the guards within two hours!"

This military operation was a major event that Zhao Yanxun personally issued a combat order and was fully supervised by the Privy Council. Cui Xing'an must not lose the chain in it.

If the operation failed because of the face he cared about, then he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Xing'an's army also accelerated their pace, accompanied by a large amount of food.

They have a large number, and their weapons and armor are excellent, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. As long as they don't encounter a large number of corpses, they can basically handle it.

Generally speaking, only around county towns and villages and towns would there be large groups of corpses, as long as these places were not avoided, they would be safe.

Of course, the security here is for a well-equipped and rigorously trained army.

After trekking repeatedly, after an hour and a half, Cui Xing'an and his party finally caught up with Xu and Chen.

At this time, they were less than ten miles away from Tianma Castle.

"They have probing cavalry, even if our people try their best to strangle them, it is inevitable that they will escape. The people in Tianmabao probably already know that we have arrived!" Xu Yu looked forward and said.

"How about that?"

Xu Yu said with a serious expression: "If they take the initiative to fight, we will fight him head-on, so you and my troops should be ready for the battle!"

"So what if they don't fight?"

"Then trap them to death in Tianma Castle according to the method we imagined before!" Xu Yu said with a smile.

At this moment, Cui Xing'an's voice came from behind the two of them: "You two, you hurriedly asked me to come over, I don't know why?"

When Cui Xing'an came close, he heard Xu Yu say: "Old Cui, we two discussed to surround the enemy army, and we need your help!"

"So, my subordinates are also useful?" Cui Xing'an smiled.
