The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Zhang Tai was very clear that given the current situation, if they attacked the city with all their strength, they could capture Linjiang City in half a day at most.

By then.

Even if the Song Dynasty sent troops to support, they could rely on Linjiang City. Not to mention that Ye Feng only led 8,000 cavalry. Even if he led 80,000 cavalry, they had nearly 100,000 defenders. It would be extremely difficult for Ye Feng to break through Linjiang City.

However, as long as the army of the Great Wei Dynasty could hold Linjiang City, they would have the Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud behind them, which could provide them with a steady supply of food and manpower.

Following Linjiang City, the road is smooth and they can reach Jinling City almost unhindered. As long as they station 100,000 troops in Linjiang City, they can completely strangle the throat of the Song Dynasty and make the entire Song Dynasty unable to sleep or eat.

such a pity!

Ouyang Lun was stubborn and self-willed. He had no idea how to analyze the battle situation and used his troops recklessly.

Now he leads an army of 70,000 to intercept Ye Feng.

If the interception is successful, it would be fine.

can.

If the interception fails, the amount of food and fodder consumed by the 70,000-strong army will be enormous, and it will be impossible to obtain food and fodder supplies in a short period of time.

By then, their attack on Linjiang City would have failed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tai became even angrier.

Moreover, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.

If we send out the entire army to attack and capture Linjiang City, why not do it?

"Attack the city with all your strength!"

Zhang Tai did not retreat, but continued to command his soldiers to attack the city with all their might.

"Hahaha... The Great Wei Dynasty divided its troops into two groups. It's obvious that they want to bypass them and intercept the cavalry of the King of State. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of defending the city for us."

Yu Shouren saw the army led by Ouyang Lun retreating from afar. He saw Ouyang Lun's intention at a glance and laughed.

They seemed to be in a very good mood. With the 30,000 troops under Zhang Tai's command, they only needed to rely on the city walls of Linjiang City and it would be no problem for them to hold out for three days.

"General Yu, isn't the King of Zhenguo in danger?"

Dong Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry! The 8,000 cavalry led by Zhenguo Jun are formed by Madam Xinling's years of training. When they charge, they are very powerful."

"If I were the king, I would only need to use the mobility of the cavalry to continuously charge at Ouyang Lun. After three or five charges, Ouyang Lun's 70,000-man army would surely fall apart."

“Once the army is scattered, the cavalry led by the Lord of the State can take advantage of the situation and head straight to Ouyang Lun’s central army camp. They will capture the thief and the king, and there is no doubt that they will be defeated.”

Yu Shouren was in high spirits and his face was filled with smiles.

This was the first time he smiled since the Wei Dynasty's 100,000-strong army approached the border.

"Pass the order down. All men and women in Linjiang City can go up to the city and fight."

"As long as we defend Linjiang City and the war ends, I will personally report to the court and reward each person who participated in the war with ten taels of silver."

Yu Shouren knew very well that what he had to do now was to defend the city with all his strength.

After several days of fighting, only 2,700 of the 8,000 soldiers defending the city were left, and the rest were killed in battle.

At present, Zhang Tai still has more than 20,000 vanguard troops under his command.

We can't be careless.

After receiving the reward, many people climbed up the city wall and came to Yu Shouren to wait for his orders.

……

drive! drive! drive!

Late at night.

Ye Feng led eight thousand cavalrymen and finally arrived at Duanyuan Mountain.

"Your Excellency, are we going to set up camp here?"

Luo Cheng quickly came to Zhenguojun.

We have been working almost non-stop from morning till now. We are really exhausted.

"Pass on my order! There is no need to set up camp. Remove armor and weapons. Everyone should keep three days' worth of food. The rest of the things should be placed in Duanyuan Mountain. You can come back to get them after the war is over."

"We only have two hours to rest. We have to get up at 2 p.m. and reach Wandang Mountain before noon tomorrow."

Ye Feng's voice rang out.

Many soldiers felt resentful in their hearts.

After such a long journey, even war horses needed to rest, let alone humans.

"Madam... We are all cavalrymen. We are exhausted from marching at night. Why don't you go and talk to the King of Zhenguo and ask them to set out again in the morning?" Luo Cheng walked up to Madam Xinling and said when he saw some of his soldiers complaining.

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Anyone who disobeys them will be executed!"

Madam Xinling had a determined look on her face as she scolded Luo Cheng.

Although she was very confused in her heart as to why Ye Feng was in such a hurry to rush to Wantang Mountain, she was also very clear about Ye Feng's character and knew that there must be a reason for him to do so.

Just like when she went to the Wei Dynasty to welcome Ye Feng before, and they were almost reaching Dongyun City, it was Ye Feng who made a temporary change and moved to Yunhai Port.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to return to the Song Dynasty alive.

Now Ye Feng asked to travel overnight and reach Wandang Mountain. There must be a reason.

Seeing Madam Xinling approaching, Ye Feng asked with a smile, "Don't you want to ask why I made the sudden decision to rush to Wandang Mountain overnight?"

"I believe you!"

Lady Xinling did not hesitate at all and smiled widely.

"When marching and fighting, as a commander, you must be able to plan and strategize."

"The news of our expedition has reached the Wei Dynasty."

"Lin Xiaoxiang will definitely urge us to capture Linjiang City as soon as possible."

"If Linjiang City is breached, the only way we have to go is Wandang Mountain."

"The mountains on both sides are steep and the terrain is narrow."

"If I were the enemy general, I would definitely ambush my soldiers here. We are leading cavalry and cannot pass quickly. If we fall into an ambush, we will surely die."

"Therefore, we must rush to Wandang Mountain before the enemy has a chance to occupy it and reduce all possible factors of failure to the minimum."

Ye Feng casually took out the map, pointed to the location of Wandang Mountain, and said to Madam Xinling.

"You really never led an army to war in the Wei Dynasty?"

Lady Xinling was shocked.

Just as Ye Feng said, she also had an epiphany.

Given the dangerous terrain of Wandang Mountain, it is impossible for one man to block the passage of ten thousand men.

The cavalry simply could not pass quickly enough, and if they were seized by the enemy first, they would surely be defeated.

"without!"

Ye Feng smiled slightly, with a gleam in the depths of his eyes.

He had originally planned that after clearing up the government and the country, he would personally lead the army to fight for the nine provinces for the Great Wei Dynasty.

Just as he said to Lin Xiaoxiang that day, unifying the nine provinces is not difficult.

But he didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxiang didn't give him a chance.

Two hours passed quickly.

"Comrades, fight on the battlefield, the enemy must die and I must live, or I must die and the enemy must live."

"As long as we seize advantageous terrain, we can reduce the number of casualties."

"If you follow me into battle, I have the obligation and responsibility to ensure that not one of your sacrifices is in vain!"

"set off!"

In the dark night, following the faint moonlight.

Ye Feng climbed onto the horse with a determined look on his face, and there was no sign of fatigue on his body.

Some are full of passion.

Even though the soldiers had some complaints, when they saw Ye Feng leading by example, their complaints turned into admiration.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

The sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night, and thousands of horses galloped towards Wandang Mountain.

……

"Damn it, what time is it now? He still hasn't come out to lead the army to occupy Wandang Mountain. Is this Ouyang Lun really here to fight?"

Zheng Hai was wearing armor and watching the sun rise to the top of the sky. Ouyang Lun still hadn't come out, and his face was full of resentment.

"Old Zheng, be careful with your words."

Another deputy general shook his head and reminded Zheng Hai.

Afraid of being heard by Ouyang Lun.

"what!"

Just then, Ouyang Lun's tent was seen. He walked out slowly from it, accompanied by two pretty maids. It was obvious that they had worked hard all night.

He raised his hands, stretched, and saw Zheng Hai and six other deputy generals standing not far away, obviously having been waiting for a long time, and smiled slightly.

"Don't be anxious, don't panic. When marching and fighting, you need to be calm. We are two hundred miles away from Wandang Mountain. It will only take half a day to get there."

"We will wait for the opportunity to come, and lay in ambush at Wandang Mountain. We will definitely catch Ye Feng off guard."

Ouyang Lun said confidently.

(The third update is here, I won’t break my promise! It’s time to sleep, we are exhausted, the battle is about to start!)
