738. Chapter 727 Outside Feiyan City


Chapter 727 Outside Feiyan City

On this side, while Zhou Xu was busy studying mantras and making hot air balloons, on the other side, Jie Liancheng and the others in Xianyang City had received two more letters in succession from Long Aotian's flying pigeon passed the message.

Needless to say, the content is all about crying misery.

According to Yan Sheng's original request, all the carrier pigeons were in the hands of the court. Raising the carrier pigeons privately was equivalent to conspiracy.

Now that Xianyang City has been occupied by them, and Liu Jiefang has declared his allegiance, it is naturally impossible for anyone to send news to Long Aotian.

Long Aotian, who still didn't know that Xianyang City had fallen, was guarding the little food in Feiyan City, and the pressure on him was increasing every day.

Although the flying pigeon biography sent from Xianyang City mentioned before, food supplies were being prepared for them.

But Long Aotian, who waited and waited without waiting, could only bite the bullet and continue to pass the message.

In response to this situation, Xie Liancheng also followed Zhou Xu's arrangement and tried to appease him by saying, 'We are already preparing food. Now is a special period. It is not easy to prepare food. You should be more considerate.' .

This rhetoric is useful. Twelve days have passed, and it will take almost eight or nine days for a large army to travel from Xianyang City to Feiyan City.

Counting him nine days, counting from the time Long Aotian's first letter asking for help was delivered, it took almost twenty-one days for their large force to arrive outside Feiyan City.

On the basis of the half-month period, it was almost a week longer, ensuring that Feiyan City would be basically out of ammunition and food when they arrived.

With this plan in mind, Zhou Chongshan and the others are ready to set off.

Xie Liancheng originally wanted to follow, but Zhou Xu used a flying pigeon to send a letter to stop him.

Xianyang City needs a general to take charge.

They currently have a relatively limited number of troops. In order to quickly expand their troops, while occupying Xianyang City, they also conveniently recruited a thousand garrison troops in Xianyang City.

When the trapped camp headed by Zhou Chongshan set off for Feiyan City, there was no guarantee that nothing would happen to the one thousand troops that had just been gathered if no one was there to control them.

And the best candidate is undoubtedly Xie Liancheng!

His reputation as a general and the prestige he has accumulated in the army are still very useful at this time.

After the death of the original guard of Xianyang City, Jielian Town was in trouble. Who among the thousand troops below would dare to cause trouble?

In addition to the trapped camp, the troops heading to Feiyan City also included crossbow troops and a logistics team to escort supplies.

If they want to take action then, they will need crossbow troops to break open the city gate.

Otherwise the opponent is guarding the city wall, even if it is the Three Hundred Traps camp headed by Zhou Chongshan, there will be no way to defeat the opponent.

With the crossbow troops and logistics team, the trapped camp maintained an even number and rushed on the road.

Considering the status of the troops, they stopped for a day's rest before arriving at Feiyan City. It happened to be the ninth day when they arrived near Feiyan City.

"The large army will rest here first. Order a small team and follow me up to see the situation!"

The order was issued, and Zhou Chongshan led a cavalry team composed of thirty cavalrymen to the flying The outskirts of Yancheng.

I noticed the cavalry team that appeared outside the city. On the wall of Feiyan City, there were figures running quickly, and at the same time, the sound of horns was heard.

Hearing the horn sound, Zhou Chongshan raised his hand to signal the cavalry to stop approaching.

It's not like they didn't consider pretending to be enemy troops and sneaking in like they did when they took Xianyang City.

But then I thought about it, it wasn't necessary.

If you pretend to be an enemy soldier and are discovered, the risk will be even greater.

If we really want to fight, we might as well just use a three-bow crossbow to blow up the city gate, rush in and kill them randomly, and that's all it takes.

The reason why I used this move before was mainly because Xie Liancheng’s wife and children were in the city.

If they were to attack the city directly, they would be afraid that the defenders on the other side would be disadvantageous to his wife and children, so they sneaked in first, which was different from the situation in front of them. Looking at the opponent's battle, it is clear that he has not lost his ability to fight, so let's postpone it for a while.

At the same time, in Feiyan City, Long Aotian, who heard the sound of the horn, had already climbed onto the wall immediately.

Looking at the troops that appeared outside Feiyan City, Long Aotian frowned deeply.

If it is a supply force coming from Xianyang City, then just approach and identify yourself. There is no need to stop so far away.

Under this premise, the other party has not approached, but has not left either, which can only explain one problem.

That means it’s not their troops who are coming!

[Could it be that the bandits from Xishan City or Anling City bypassed Xianyang City and came here? 】

【Unlikely, the risk of bypassing Xianyang City is too great, and at the same time specifically bypassing Xianyang City as the capital, what is the purpose of coming to my Feiyan City? 】

【From the perspective of those bandits, Xianyang City, as the capital, should be far more important than my small border town. 】

【In this case, there is only one conclusion. Xianyang City has fallen, and the army outside the city now is the enemy! 】

Thinking about it now, the previous reply from Xianyang City was clearly delaying time. When Long Aotian realized this, his expression changed on the spot.

“Damn it!”

I couldn’t help but curse a few times.

Now that Xianyang City has fallen into the hands of the other party, there is a high probability that his flying pigeon will also fall into the hands of the other party.

In other words, the opponent already knows that they don’t have much food left in the city, so they are not in a hurry to launch an offensive at this time, they are just waiting for them to destroy themselves!

After realizing this, Long Aotian couldn't help but look ugly.

In order to obtain food supplies faster, the content in his flying pigeon letter did exaggerate the crying misery.

But after reaching this point, Feiyan City's food supply was completely exhausted, and it was just a matter of these two days, but he couldn't bear to continue to consume it with the other party.

Thinking of this, Long Aotian said with a gloomy face...

"Pass this general's order, order all the troops, and follow me out of the city to attack!"

Long Aotian, who issued this order, had a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.

In his opinion, the gang of thieves outside the city really made the wrong calculation.

Unlike the other three border cities, Feiyan City is connected to the most important pasture in their country and can produce war horses. The war horses for the domestic cavalry are all from Feiyan City. Provided by the racecourse.

This also allows Feiyan City to deploy a hundred cavalry in addition to the regular garrison troops!

Relying on the advantage of the cavalry, the large army was still behind. Long Aotian, who was riding a war horse, had already led one hundred cavalry under his command and galloped towards the thirty cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan. Come closer.

Zhou Chongshan and the others already knew the level of the cavalry on the opposite side, but in the case of cavalry versus cavalry, the size of the cavalry was also very important.

They currently only have thirty cavalry, while the opposite side is estimated to have hundreds of cavalry.

Although a hard fight is not impossible, there is no guarantee that there will be no casualties on their side. Zhou Chongshan, who does not want to suffer casualties because of his arrogant and reckless move, pulls the reins and Prepare to lead the retreat.

Long Aotian, who was charging forward, saw this and immediately became anxious. He quickly slapped his horse and rushed out alone, shouting loudly while rushing back...

"Cowardless rat! The labor dragon Aotian is here! Do you dare to fight with me?”

"..."
