"The attack failed?" Yuan Huaihe didn't feel much emotion, but just sighed softly, and dozens of great men disappeared, but it was also preserved for the cavalry of the first army.

"The Heshuo Army in Shangyunxi is very cautious. The infantry formed a formation as soon as they crossed the river. The magical equipment that crossed the river in the early stage and the Xuzhou navy also quickly formed a defense system. The ambush we preset only played an interference role and did not achieve the expected goal." Yuan Wennan, who came to report, said softly.

"The Xuzhou Army can be slow." Yuan Huaihe's eyes were a little more melancholy. Yes, with the unchanging response to changes, and with the strength to push, there is no need to grab time or take risks. This is what Xuzhou Army does now, and what should Caizhou Army do when facing such an enemy?

Yuan Wennan is not good at returning to this problem. The attack from Long Bird's tail is a last resort. The cavalry that was originally preparing to raid did not dare to use it. The Heshuo cavalry of the two armies were eyeing you and waiting for you to enter the trap. After careful consideration, the head of the family still did not agree to the cavalry's raid.

But I watched the enemy cross the Bian River and pressed over as a tiger descending the mountain. If I didn't make any effort, it would be unreasonable, so there would be such an attack that hits the stone with an egg.

The result is not unexpected. If war can change the result in this way, it may not be called war.

"That head of the family..." Yuan Wennan asked tentatively.

"Let the cavalry retreat and maintain pressure, but don't launch an attack and restrain the Xuzhou army." Yuan Huaihe's eyes slowly became calm, "The victory or defeat of the war is ultimately proved by Songcheng's gains and losses. Then let us confirm our respective abilities in Songcheng's offensive and defense."

"Yes, the head of the family." Yuan Wennan understood the head of the family's intention. "The city defense system is still being reinforced and transformed, and now all the power that can be used has been used,..."

"There is no need to keep anything. All the magical materials that should be used are used. The magical traps should be laid out in a layered and chain way as much as possible. Once the Xuzhou army takes action, it will definitely be continuous and will not give us much breathing opportunity. They have the advantage of military strength and must use them enough. The magical equipment should be arranged as much as possible. One level on the city wall and one level under the city wall. Once the enemy's heavenly master breaks through, we cannot curb it in time, so we must use these equipment to block and suppress it."

Yuan Huaihe's thoughts became more and more calm and clear, and made arrangements in an orderly manner, "There are not enough materials, and the gentry in the city must be given within a time limit, otherwise there will be no mercy in the killing, and there will be no conditions for it."

"Yes." My heart sank slightly. Yuan Wennan knew what this meant, which meant that the head of the family was not optimistic that he could defend Songcheng, otherwise he would not have used such iron-blooded means to confiscate the materials.

"Concentrate all their private soldiers, and also gather their wives, children, and young people." Yuan Huaihe thought for a while before giving this order: "As long as the Xuzhou army starts to attack the city, they will take the lead in leaving the city to launch an attack. Those who have fought over a round can survive, and those who do not obey the order will destroy their family!"

Yuan Wennan felt chill all over, and after a while, she came back to her smell, lowered her head and said, "Yes."

"Wen Nan, this is war, and we cannot tolerate a trace of compassion." Yuan Huaihe seemed to know the inner fluctuations of his nephew, and turned his head, "War is to live and die, and to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to achieve the goal of destroying the other party. Do you understand?"

"Did you contact the Shangheshuo Army?" Jiang Feng rode his horse slowly on the way to Dangshan from Xiaoxian County.

Nighthawk rejected Jiang Feng's intention to take a boat. In fact, Jiang Feng also felt that it was inappropriate to take a boat. Since he was going to lead the army to fight in person, he would naturally take the land route and feel the breath first.

The four armies had 10,000 troops, all of which were infantry. They came on foot, which was indeed slower in time.

However, Jiang Feng didn't care. Since he had made up his mind to fight Caozhou, there was no need to worry about gains and losses.

Even if the Shatuo people are going to withdraw their troops from Nanyang and join forces with Caizhou to fight with Xuzhou, Jiang Feng will still fight.

Of course, the Shatuo people have begun to collide with the Nanyang army in Ruzhou, and it is said that they have not gained much advantage.

The Nanyang Army did not occupy Fangcheng as the Caizhou Army imagined, which would make the Nanyang Army in Ruzhou panic and its position was in chaos. Although morale was inevitably affected, Liu Tong still successfully stabilized his position.

The Shatu people have not yet entered the state, and they still seem to have some cooperation and not very tacit understanding when launching the attack. The news sent back from the detailed work also shows signs of conflict as speculated within the Shatu people.

This midsummer time is indeed a challenge for the Hu people outside the Frontier who are used to going out in the autumn, especially in an unfamiliar area.

The epidemic became the biggest ally of the Nanyang Army, causing considerable trouble to the Shatu people, which is also the main reason why the Shatu people seemed weak in their early attacks.

But Jiang Feng did not think that the Shatuo people would stop their troops. By the autumn, the Caizhou army had already captured Fangcheng as promised. Such an opportunity was hard to come by for the Shatuo people. No matter how great the efforts or the difficulties were, they would launch an attack on the Nanyang army in Ruzhou.

Another reason why the Nanyang Army was able to calm down was that Xiangcheng and Lushan from north to south of Luyang Pass were still in their hands. Even if the Caizhou Army captured Chengguan below, they could already go south from Luyang Pass to Nanyang without being caught in a jar.

Once the war starts, there is no room for reversal. This is not something that can be decided by any party. Just like since Jiang Feng has sent troops to Caizhou, this battle can only be fought until one party collapses.

Yu Mingzhen rode his horse to the right side of Jiang Feng, "I have contacted you back to the prince. I have sent a letter from Shangyunxi. Caizhou Longquewei launched a small-scale raid on the south bank of the Bian River, burning down two carriages and all died in battle. At present, the army has successfully crossed the Bian River and is advancing towards Songcheng, and no enemy cavalry is found."

"Well, Yuan Huaihe still can't bear to leave his cavalry." Jiang Feng curled his lips, "How can you get a tiger's son if you don't go into the tiger's den? You can't bear to leave the child and can't trap the wolf. He will pay the price for it."

"The prince, my subordinates thought that Yuan Huaihe was also helpless. The number of cavalry in Caizhou in Songcheng was insufficient. He also needed to ensure that when we launched an attack on Songcheng, the cavalry was to create pressure on us to hold some of our troops in order to hold up some of our troops." Yu Mingzhen thought for a while.

"Mingzhen, Gu knows, but do you think he is effective like this?" Jiang Feng said calmly: "Once he sieges, unless he arranges the cavalry outside, his cavalry will not play any role at all. If he puts the cavalry outside, the cavalry of Heshuo Army and Ziqing Army will not find a chance to play. They will either be surrounded and annihilated, or they will have no chance to play any role after all. In the final analysis, Yuan Huaihe is still reluctant to leave."

Yu Mingzhen nodded, "Since that's the case, why would Yuan Huaihe evacuate Songcheng just now?"

"Retreat? When it reaches this point, where will he retreat? Wherever we retreat, wherever we fight, how much impact will he have on morale?" Jiang Feng smiled and said, "So his hope is to be put on our siege against Songcheng, so that he can have a chance."

"But our troops have an absolute advantage, and he has no chance." Yu Ming said in confusion: "If you drag on it, they will only have the result of the city being destroyed."

Jiang Feng shook his head and looked deep, "Yuan Huaihe is not that easy to admit defeat. He dared to stay and guard Songcheng in person, which means he had certain ideas. If I guessed correctly, he was waiting for Shatu people, or even Wei Bojun."

Yu Mingzhen was shocked, "Shatuo people, Wei Bojun?! Prince, are you saying that Shatuo people are going to attack us? Is it possible for Wei Bojun to join?"

"There is any possibility. In fact, you should see Mingzhen. Shi Jingtang's temptation in Caozhou. In fact, they were just trying to see who was the best to fight. We didn't give him any chance, so they retreated. The Hu people were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong." Jiang Feng chuckled, "The Caizhou army also performed poorly, so they comprehensively evaluated their efforts and benefits. They chose Nanyang. Of course, it is not ruled out that Caizhou moved closer to the Shatuo people and prompted the Shatuo people to choose Nanyang."

"But now..." Yu Mingzhen still didn't believe it very much, "Does Wei Bojun also want to take action?"

"Wei Bojun's current situation is very embarrassing. The Shatu people have become the overlord of the Central Plains. They have always been dependent on Daliang, but the Shatu people have not taken any action against them now. Well, they should still win over them. If they don't want to break up with the Shatu people, then they can only submit. The Shatu people want to send troops at this time, and he dares not obey?" Jiang Feng seemed very calm. "Of course, Luo Shaowei is not stupid. He also needs to observe the situation, just like Yuan Huaihe."

"The prince means that if Yuan Huaihe attacked us in Songcheng and dragged us down, the Shatu people felt that our Xuzhou army was just like this, maybe the Shatu people would let the Wei Bo army send troops south?"

"It's not only the Wei Bo army sent troops, but Shi Jingtang and An Chongrong's army would probably immediately advance eastward. They would not give up such an opportunity." Jiang Feng said calmly: "It depends on whether Zhu Mao could withstand it. Of course, we would not give them this opportunity, so we would let the Shatuo people destroy that thought within the scheduled time and go to attack his Nanyang obediently."

Yu Mingzhen understood why Jiang Feng had to personally fight this time, and brought the four armies' teeth as reserve teams in one breath.

In his opinion, the 30,000 Heshuo Army, the 35,000 Ziqing Army, and the magic equipment and magician troops that have absolute advantages will definitely be able to fight Songcheng. Is it necessary to use the tooth army of four armies?
