"Lord Qiao, we are mounted soldiers, we are unable to attack the city, so you should complete this mission. I wonder what plans Lord Qiao has? "
"Master Yang Lin is right. "It's just that we've attacked a few times already and the results were minimal. For a while, we really don't have any good ideas."
After listening to Qiao Mao's words, Yang Lin became silent. Different from before, this time Yang Lin was appointed by the imperial government as the main general, so he had to be responsible for pacifying the Eastern County. None of the advisors and brothers following him knew what Yang Lin was feeling right now. They could only see him walking forward expressionlessly, occasionally glancing at the city wall.
At this time, the city walls were abnormally lively. There were a lot of soldiers defending the city on the xanthopanax, and all kinds of flags were flying all over the city. When the guards saw them coming, they pushed their way to the edge of the wall and pointed at them as if they were looking at something strange.
Looking at the mental state of the xanthopanax's soldiers on the city wall, Bu Yi's soldiers were extremely high-spirited. Furthermore, their weapons were bright, and their bows and arrows were complete. If this Bu Yi stayed in the city, he really wouldn't have any ways to deal with him.
Facing the city walls, Yang Lin was also filled with emotion. Just like that, a city wall had forcefully blocked them out of the city, turning them into an impregnable fortress. If given time, he would have the power to protect himself in the future. If he was able to produce gunpowder, he would definitely turn into a pile of rubble.
"The general is here."
Just then, a group of riders appeared on top of the city wall. It was obvious that they were several generals, followed by a group of personal guards. When they reached the opposite side of Yang Lin's group, they stopped and looked in Yang Lin's direction, constantly making hand gestures.
Yang Lin could see very clearly that the four big generals in front were actually riding fine horses. In particular, the leader who was walking at the very front, his huge black horse, shone brightly in the sunlight and looked extremely mighty. The four high-ranking officers were also very tall and sturdy, and the long spear in their hands sparkled in the sunlight.
"Master Yang Lin, the one riding the black horse is Bu Yi. The three riding the red horse are Bian Xi, Li Shuang and Liu Qing. They're patrolling the city and pointing at us. "
"Heh heh, what big fellows. They do have a bit of the bearing of a general."
"Master Yang Lin, you don't know this, but these four guys are eight feet tall, big and sturdy. They have powerful martial arts and extraordinary strength.
"Oh, then why don't they dare to come out of the city to challenge us?"
"I don't know, maybe they were scared off by Master Yang Lin's fame, Master Yang Lin must have fought in all directions, his fame is spread far and wide, they might have heard of it, in the past they always went out to challenge people."
"Hahaha …"
On the walls of the Puyang City, Bu Yi and a few of his generals were also looking at Yang Lin's cavalry army. They had heard the report from the soldiers that there were more than three thousand cavalry soldiers patrolling the walls of the Puyang City. Bu Yi stared intently at the riders in front of him and did not speak for a long time.
Amongst the generals of xanthopanax, the majority of them were commoners of lowest rank. They were either farmers, fishermen, hunters, and more of them were rogues who didn't work properly. Those who were tall and possessed extraordinary strength and some martial arts skills quickly climbed to the position of high-ranking officers. They became the current famous figures in the world.
Different from ordinary General of the Yellow Scarf Army, Bu Yi came from a rich and wealthy family. Of course he had read before, so he had some sense of wit. He had a straightforward personality, was loyal, and liked to make friends with all the heroes in the world. He was a famous hero in the East Country. If it were not for the unforeseen event three years ago, it was very likely that he would have embarked on Zhang Fei's path and become a great general who could calm his anger.
Three years ago, another A powerful landowner in the Eastern Region had taken a fancy to his sister and wanted to marry her as a concubine. First, he sent someone to propose marriage, but when Bu Yi heard this, he became furious and immediately beat the matchmaker back. Later on, the A powerful landowner used his authority as an official to force Bu Yi into submission, and even the County Magistrate came to visit him to kiss.
Of course, Bu Yi would never agree to this marriage, he immediately ran over to the A powerful landowner's house and scolded him. The result could be imagined, that Bu Yi was randomly found by the officials and arrested for a crime. In order to protect him, his family almost went bankrupt.
Bu Yi, who was walking out of the dungeon, kept thinking about revenge and spent a lot of money to hire Bian Xi, Li Shuang, Liu Qing and a few other experts to wait for the opportunity to kill A powerful landowner. However, the A powerful landowner had many servants and guards so he did not have the chance to attack.
He immediately felt that he had a chance, but in the end, it was a conspiracy. He had locked himself in the study room for the whole day, and without even eating lunch, the servants did not dare disturb him, as they all knew that it was Bu Yi's habit. As long as something major happened, Bu Yi would lock himself in the study room for the entire day.
Sure enough, when it was dark, Bu Yi walked out of the study resolutely. He changed his appearance, and the old master who usually wore a smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a Demon whose eyes shone with a murderous light. He hastily ordered his servants to prepare some food. After eating, Bu Yi went to arrange everything.
This was a road of no return, so Bu Yi had to plan for the worst. He immediately sold all his assets and properly settled his old mother, wife and children down, then gathered his brothers and walked down this road of no return without a care in the world.
Bu Yi also had some influence in the Eastern Region. In just a few short days, he had already formed an entourage of close to a hundred thousand people. The Tung Chung Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tortoise was obviously not on guard at all as a large number of refugees rushed into the Puyang. Qiao Mao actually did not defend at all, and before he could even form an army to retaliate, he was caught unprepared by Bu Yi, and the Puyang City easily fell into his hands.
It was only when he heard that the cavalry of Youzhou was about to attack the Puyang that Bu Yi felt that his end had come. In this flat land of the East Country, his own hundred thousand men were not a match for those cavalry soldiers. However, according to the city they were in, how long could they last?
"Lord General, why are you not in the city to kill them?"
Bian Xi looked at the cavalry soldiers outside the city, his heart unconvinced. Since the start of the fight, the four of them had never met an opponent. The generals under Tung Chung Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tortoise were either killed by them, or defeated by them.
"Haven't you heard? Yang Lin's subordinates were like a cloud of strong generals, and his cavalry was even more powerful. They took Youzhou, Qingzhou, Ying Chuan, Nanyang, and even attacked us on the way here, the battle was useless no matter what. We went out of the city to challenge them, and I'm afraid that it was all because of them. "
Although Bu Yi was also a martial husband, he still had some brains. Facing cavalry of Youzhou, who had won many battles, he did not dare to be careless. Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng's troops that numbered over a few hundred thousand were defeated.
"Lord General must not increase the morale of others, extinguishing his own might. My brothers, when have we ever met an opponent? That Youzhou Army is not much stronger than the Eastern Region's army. "
Bian Xi was a fool, other than Bu Yi, he did not place anyone else in his eyes. It was no wonder why he could stay in this small Yanzhou and see a few generals there. He thought of himself as a character without even meeting his opponent, the number one in the world for an old man.
"General Bian, don't underestimate this Youzhou Army. They have to be able to win all the way. Besides, as long as we hold on to the city walls, they won't be able to attack us. When that time comes, we will go out of the city to kill them and destroy them under the Puyang City. "
"Whatever, let them live a few more days."
Yang Lin brought everyone to look around Puyang City. Military Advisors and Generals had a rough idea of what was going on, this Puyang City was truly not that strong, with over a hundred thousand people guarding the city, it was practically an opportunity. It seems that taking down Puyang is a tough battle.
The entire east county was like a flat plain, full of the Yellow River's alluvial plains. It was especially good for the cavalry to attack. If Bu Yi dared to go out of the city for a duel, it could be said that he would die without a burial. However, he stayed in the city obediently. If he wanted to calm down the Eastern County, he had to take over the Puyang.
In front of the Puyang City's wall was an empty field. Within a radius of five kilometers, there were practically no obstructions, and even the trees had been cut down by the xanthopanax. It seemed like they were prepared to defend the city in advance. If they were to forcefully attack the city, this would become a land of death. There would be many soldiers lying here, and the last drop of their blood would be lost here.
No matter what, Yang Lin would not use his cavalry to attack the city. In this kind of frontal attack battle, Yang Lin was worried that the Eastern County Army and Country Warriors would be able to take it.
Yang Lin knew, from a psychological perspective, if a party's casualties reached one third, the team would have reached the critical point of collapse. Of course, the Iron Discipline Army was an exception. How many such units were there in the world?
"Master, the open space in front is too wide, the frontal assault will result in heavy casualties. Especially those protruding enemy building s, they were even more lethal, and Arrows s that shot out of them were hard to guard against. Furthermore, there is a roof on the enemy building and solid walls facing us there. We have almost no way to deal with the yellow scarfed soldiers on top of the enemy building. "
Xin Ping frowned, and asked worriedly. Ever since he followed Yang Lin, he knew that Yang Lin was afraid of soldiers dying. With such a high wall, as well as those enemy building in front, the soldiers who attacked would be facing two different Arrows s at the same time.
"Bu Yi cleaned up the area around the city walls so cleanly. It seems like he was prepared to fight with us here."
Master, the Puyang is too sturdy, we can't use the method of construction of the wall to attack the city, although it will take a lot of time, but it can reduce the casualties, maybe before we finish building the wall, the xanthopanax will not be able to resist and will come out of the city to fight with us.
When the Zhang Banxian was at the Nanyang, he heard from Yuan Shu about the method of construction of the city wall, he saw how huge the walls were and brought it up. To be honest, digging earth and building a wall to attack the wall, then attacking it together was indeed a good idea, but Yang Lin was a little impatient.
"Military Advisors, building a wall to attack the city is indeed a good idea. But we couldn't wait. I have observed the sky during this night and realized that Zhang Jiao's life is not going to be long. In about a month, Zhang Jiao will definitely die. This is a huge victory in the battle to calm the Yellow Turbans. If we quickly settle this war in the Eastern Region, the Emperor would definitely send us to the Guangzong.
