"What? Is there no movement in Xuzhou City yet?" Li Siqi said.

"Yes, General, since the rebels captured our Xuzhou City, they have been hiding inside and not coming out." said the scout.

This is strange. When Chen Feng was attacking Xuzhou City, he moved so quickly. Now, why is there no movement suddenly?

When he heard that Chen Feng had occupied Xuzhou City, Li Siqi consciously did not send anyone to take back Xuzhou City, but immediately mobilized the city. All the crossbows and pitiful archers were sent to the top of the city, waiting for the other party to attack the city day and night.

After waiting for several days, the result was that the other party had not been dispatched at all. It seemed that he had settled in Xuzhou City and was waiting for the winter.

Wasn't it as fast as lightning at the beginning? Why don't you show that style now? Li Siqi is unsure. Chen Feng is famous for fighting, and others can't guess his thoughts.

In the past few days, the defenders on the city were really frost-free and had more than 20 people injured. Li Siqi had to ask them to return to the camp for the time being, and wait for Chen Feng's army to wait at the city after Chen Feng's army was dispatched.

The surrounding city gates are the most worried about Li Siqi. Now, only one city gate is opened, and there are heavy troops to guard them. The people who go back and forth strictly check to avoid any mistakes.

This kind of waiting tastes very uncomfortable. Li Siqi felt a little disappointed when he remembered that Xuzhou City was destroyed and all the soldiers on his side were killed.

After waiting for a few more days, finally, the snow on the road outside was completely melted.

The scout came to report again that Chen Feng's army had finally been dispatched!

From the Xicheng Gate of Xuzhou, a large number of troops came towards Bianliang, with flags floating for several miles. Judging from the formation, there were probably more than 100,000 people!

More than one hundred thousand troops!

What is coming is finally here. Li Siqi mobilized all the soldiers and all the soldiers came to the top of the city. This battle must be fought beautifully, so that Chen Feng's army would kowtow under the top of the city and bloody!

The snow has been eliminated and the roads are unobstructed again. Moreover, from Xuzhou to Bianliang, since it is a major transportation road, the roads are very wide, and even two carriages can be walked side by side.

In the middle of the team, Zhou Dexing and Li Tieniu rode their horses side by side.

"Brother Li, this time we attack the city, we must surround the entire city, and then attack together on all sides. As soon as we come up, we will strive to break through Bianliang City within one day." Zhou Dexing said: "Your side has only 20,000 people. It will definitely be hard to attack a city wall, so you can just have a feint. I will concentrate 40,000 people and attack a city gate, and strive to get a breakthrough there."

In the siege, it was a war of attrition. Lord Chen had only 20,000 men, and two thousand less. Moreover, since Zhou Dexing was the chief general, he could not let Lord Chen's subordinates suffer too much casualties, so he could not explain it. So he said so.

Hearing Zhou Dexing’s statement, Li Tieniu smiled and said, “I wonder how much casualties Brother Zhou plans to pay?”

Since Zhou Dexing called him Brother Li, he changed his words to Brother Zhou, which is more friendly.

Originally, if someone else heard this, he would definitely feel that it was an insult to him. However, before setting off, Li Tieniu had been personally advised by Chen Feng and had already been sufficiently prepared for the capture of Bianliang City. Therefore, now he is just negotiating with Zhou Dexing.

"Bianliang is a strong city, with three walls inside and outside, which are difficult to break through. The last time Li Siqi attacked Bianliang, he was also because of the heavy casualties. Finally, he was angry and dug the Yellow River." Zhou Dexing said: "When we attack Bianliang, there will be 10,000 to 30,000 casualties. However, even if our army is exhausted, we will still take down Bianliang!"

Ten thousand to 30,000! This casualty number is very amazing, and Zhou Dexing said so, but it did not overestimate the difficulty of siege.

"Brother Zhou, our army has a way to easily break the Bianliang City. I wonder if Brother Zhou is willing to adopt it?" Li Tieniu said.

Easily breaking through Bianliang City? Zhou Dexing grabbed the horse's head and looked at Li Tieniu, as if he was a little disbelief.

Zhou Dexing is a very good at learning. In recent years, he has studied every battle he fought by Chen Feng. The method of fighting Xuzhou last time was very consistent with Chen Feng's style. He attacked him in an unprepared manner, united internally and externally, worked together in one go, and successfully broke the city.

However, this kind of fighting style is not suitable for fighting Bianliang, because there are tens of thousands of troops in Bianliang City, with tight defense and strong city. Moreover, now that they are walking so slowly, the other party has been prepared for a long time. It is impossible to take Bianliang under the raid.

Therefore, only using regular playing methods is also a method that Zhou Dexing had to adopt.

"Brother Li, what method do you have?" Zhou Dexing asked.

"My rear army has brought a lot of equipment, which are specially used for siege. Brother Zhou, can you listen to my plan?" Li Tieniu asked.

Generally speaking, the rear army transported food and grass. Although there were certain guards to be sent, it was definitely not as many as it is now. Li Tieniu had almost nearly 10,000 people following the rear army to protect the carriages.

Last time, Zhou Dexing also saw that those carriages seemed to have firearms, such as those very powerful swarms.

A swarm is very useful and powerful. Zhou Dexing knew it, but this swarm can only suppress the firearms on the city and cannot replace the siege. If you really attack the city, you still have to climb the city.

However, since Li Tieniu said that, there must be a way.

"Brother Li, please speak." Zhou Dexing said.

"We need to surround the city of Bianliang, like an iron barrel, and then we need to stumble on the open space in front of each city gate. After all, Li Siqi in the city has certain cavalry. If he leads the cavalry out, a series of chopping will be enough for us to bear. We just surround and then attack for two days without attacking. In this way, the defenders in the city will relax. On the third day, we will use our magic weapon to bomb in the place where they defend the most, open the gap in the city wall and rush into the city. As long as we occupy the outer city first, we will be sure to wipe out the defenders."

What Li Tieniu said was rigorous and reasonable, first surround and then kill, occupy the outer city, and gradually advance, especially to arrange mechanisms first to prevent the cavalry in the city from leaving the city to cut them and kill them, which Zhou Dexing did not expect. Hearing Zhou Dexing nodded, at the same time, he also knew that what Li Tieniu said was definitely not what he thought of himself, and it was probably the instruction of Lord Chen!

Although Lord Chen did not send troops, he was in charge of Xuzhou City and designated himself as the chief general, how to fight depends on Lord Chen's trick!

At this time, Zhou Dexing felt that he was no longer the leader.

However, Zhou Dexing was not the kind of person who was extremely eager for power. He only wanted to win the battle. Moreover, after taking over Bianliang City, his side suffered few casualties, which was what he hoped.

However, he still had a question: "Brother Li, what is your magic weapon? How to open the gap in the city wall?"

As if he knew that Zhou Dexing would have such questions, Li Tieniu said: "Brother Zhou, do you know the Tartars' Hui Hui cannon?"

Hui Hui cannon? Of course, I know this thing. Back then, Xiangyang was defended for several years, but it was not taken down by the Tartars. As a result, Hui Hui cannon was bombarded with a big rock and the defenders had no choice but to surrender.

However, this thing is complex and huge in size, and it is even more laborious to assemble it on the battlefield.

The carriages behind them are so equipped that they don’t look like Huihui cannons.

"I know." Zhou Dexing said: "Did we carry a large number of Huihuans?"

"No, what we carry is even more powerful than the Huihui cannon." Li Tieniu said: "Brother Zhou, just wait and see!"

It is even more powerful than the Huihui cannon? If this is the case, it is really not difficult to advance north and conquer the city and land! Zhou Dexing was immediately overjoyed.

"There is another thing." Li Tieniu said to Zhou Dexing, but when he said that, he deliberately lowered the volume.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Dexing didn't react.

"After we attacked Bianliang, we will try not to take prisoners." Li Tieniu said.

Don’t take prisoners? What does this mean?

Suddenly, Zhou Dexing reacted.

Because of the incident of Chang Gathering and killing surrendering, Lord Chen was very unhappy. Otherwise, Chang Gathering would have led the troops this time.

Even so, everyone was full of resentment towards Li Siqi's army. Digging the Yellow River would be punished by God. If God didn't chop them, he would have to do it himself.

If you take the prisoners, it will be difficult to take action. Therefore, Li Tieniu's plan is to not take the prisoners at all. If you want to surrender, there is no way!

In this way, the problem of killing and surrendering is avoided.

Zhou Dexing opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Tieniu. This big guy, who was so big and thick, could come up with such a clever idea? However, this must not be the instructor of Lord Chen, but it also suits his temper!

Zhou Dexing didn't say anything and nodded vigorously.

The relationship between Zhou Dexing and Li Tieniu is relatively harmonious, but the relationship between Chang Yuchun and Xu Da can only be described as tense.

"General Chang, General Chang." A messenger who was almost running to death finally caught up with Chang Yuchun's troops.

While crossing the Yellow River, Chang Yuchun's army rushed over and squeezed Xu Da's cavalry to the side of the ferry.

Xu Da endured it, and he had to pass it anyway, so he could just wait for Chang Yuchun's army to come over first.

However, after crossing the Yellow River, Chang Yuchun's army ran away, not caring about Xu Da's army behind him.

Xu Da sent a commander to walk ten miles before catching up with Chang Yuchun who was advancing at full speed.

"What's wrong?" Chang Yuchun was very upset when he looked at the red scarf on the messenger's head.

"Please wait here for General Chang. General Xu will send troops together after leading the army." said the messenger.

Waiting here? Now, the person Chang Yuchun doesn’t want to see the least is Xu Da.

"Military information is urgent. We set foot on the land of Shandong. We must be fast, fast, fast! Now, since I have crossed the Yellow River, we must drive straight in and take Fengzhou first!" Chang Yuchun said, saying to his generals: "Now, we must continue to move forward and take Fengzhou!"
