Four states, thousands of wise leaders, Jingjiang City.

Jingjiang City is located on the border of Sifangzhou and across the river from Zhongzhou and Qinghezhou. A stretched Jingjiang and Weihe River separate these three prefectures, forming a fertile and economically developed Jingjiang Delta Basin. Jingjiang City is located in the center of this triangular basin.

Jingjiang City is actually not a big city, at best, but as the size of a medium-sized town, it is extremely superior in the geographical location. There are countless merchant ships that go down the river every day in the upper reaches of the Jingjiang River and the Wei River. These merchant ships will definitely moor to rest when passing through Jingjiang City. Therefore, a large number of merchants and materials poured into Jingjiang City, making the business of Jiangjing City extremely prosperous and developed, and can be said to be a very rich city.

Since ancient times, the Jingjiang City basin has been an important granary and tax place for the Tianfeng Kingdom. It can continuously transport countless grains and coins to the kingdom every year. At the same time, the geographical location of Jingjiang City is also the northern gate of the Zhongzhou royal capital. Therefore, the monarchs of the kings of all dynasties attached great importance to this city and have always sent heavy troops to garrison this city. Moreover, because with the natural dangers of the two rivers, Jingjiang City's own defense is also extremely powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary troops to capture this city.

Since the coalition forces of Tianxing and Tianchen invaded the Tianfeng Kingdom, although Prince Jingchou had quickly captured Sifangzhou, he had never attacked Jingjiang City, because, first, Prince Jingchou wanted to attack Tianqingzhou as soon as possible. If he launched a large army to attack this city, it would take a long time, and it would be a heavy loss of troops. Second, Jingjiang City relies on the natural danger of the two rivers and has heavy troops to garrison. Two items made Prince Jingchou finally give up attacking this city. Instead, he led his army west. As for this city, he planned to capture Tianqingzhou, kill Xiao Tianci, and then come back and slowly clean up it up.

After Prince Jingchou's failure, Xiao Tianci directly led Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Pang De and a 400,000 army to Shanyuezhou and Sifangzhou. Finally, he came to the outside of Jingjiang City, and across the river from Jingjiang City through the wide Jingjiang River.

Four hundred thousand troops set up camp on the edge of Jingjiang River. Since Xiao Tianci did not have a navy army and was not very clear about the situation in Jingjiang City opposite, Xiao Tianci did not act rashly. Instead, he arranged people to go to a nearby fishing village to purchase a ferry boat, while allowing people to contact the shadow guards hidden in Jingjiang City, hoping to get all the information on the current situation in Jingjiang City.

On the second day after setting up camp, Xiao Tianci received news from spies in Jingjiang City, and had a basic understanding of the situation and deployment of troops in the entire Jingjiang City, generals, etc.

There are now a total of 100,000 troops in Jingjiang City. The general guarding the city was Zhang Poyue, the Marquis of Wucheng, who was stationed during the monarch Longsheng period. This Marquis of Wucheng Zhang Poyue has innate top skills. This year, he has experienced several battles in his early forties and has won the title of the kingdom with his real military achievements. It is said that this man is rigorous in military use but not dull, his vision is extremely accurate, and he can stand very accurately, so he can make a very accurate position in this officialdom. This time, when the Huang family was promoted, the Marquis of Wucheng made a very wise choice. He defected to the Huang family at the first time and offered his loyalty. Therefore, he stood firmly in the several cleanings after the Huang family took office, firmly occupying the rich and well-being place in Jingjiang City.

In addition, Xiao Tianci also learned from the information that there was a small military camp called Baimajin upstream of Jingjiang City. There was a naval army with a population of 30,000. It had ten large warships, thirty medium warships, and countless small assault ships. As a side army divided the troops outside, the main purpose of this Baimajin naval army was that if an enemy army crossed the river to attack Jingjiang City, their naval army would drive warships down the river and launch an attack on the enemy attacking the city from the river.

The guard of Baimajin is Zhang Poshan, the younger brother of Wucheng Hou Zhang Poyue. She is also as strong as that of the middle-innate stage. However, compared to his brother, Zhang Poshan's ability is weaker, so she chose to become the least valued naval general in the kingdom.

Xiao Tianci had already asked all the generals around him to look at the situation in Jingjiang City. Xiao Tianci, who was standing by Jingjiang River, frowned and looked at the Jingjiang City built on the river opposite the river, and slowly fell into deep thought. Jingjiang City is indeed a very difficult and hard bone. With the natural danger and huge defenders, if the 400,000 troops on his side attacked hard, it would definitely be a loss. Even if they were captured, they would suffer heavy losses. This is something Xiao Tianci would never want to see.

The four generals standing behind him were also in deep thought and thought about how to conquer Jingjiang City.

"Everyone, in your opinion, how should we attack this city and minimize our losses?" After a moment, Xiao Tianci turned his head, looked at the faces of the four generals, and asked.

Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and Pang De did not make any noise. This Jingjiang City is indeed a difficult problem. It is really difficult to capture this city at a very small cost.

"Lord, in fact, if we want to conquer Jingjiang City, we have to face two major problems." Zhang Liao spoke at this time, and saw him look at Xiao Tianci and said lightly.

"Oh, Wen Yuan, have you thought of a solution? Tell me." Xiao Tianci's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously when he heard Zhang Liao's words.

"I haven't thought about the solution yet, but the main difficulty of siege can be said." Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "If you want to capture this city, the only thing in front of us is to cross the river first. However, if our 400,000 troops cross the river, it will definitely be unrealistic. First, we are not prepared enough and have not prepared enough tools for crossing the river. Even if we collect ships in the nearby fishing village, it is probably a drop in the bucket, and our soldiers are all

The army is very unfamiliar with water combat. If we launch an siege on the river, it will definitely not work. Second, the enemy 30,000 naval forces in Baimajin, located in the upper reaches, is also a huge threat. Even if we have enough ships to cross the river to allow 400,000 people to cross the river to attack the city, we will also have a strong blockade of these 30,000 naval forces on the river. If our soldiers fight against other naval forces on the river, they will definitely not be their opponents. At that time, they are afraid that the casualties will be greater."

"Yes, Wen Yuan, you are right. These two points are indeed huge problems. If we don't find a way to solve them, we will have no way to conquer Jingjiang City." Xiao Tianci nodded, agreed with Zhang Liao's opinion, and at the same time stretched out his hands to rub his forehead, and fell into deep thought again.

The five people by the river stood there like this, no one chewing or talking. All they could hear was the rustling sound of the fierce river water slapped against the river bank.

"Wen Yuan, maybe we can do this." Xiao Tianci suddenly seemed to think of something and clapped his hands and shouted.

"Oh, lord, do you have any ideas?" The four generals standing behind Xiao Tianci raised their heads and all looked at Xiao Tianci.

"Well, I have an immature idea." Xiao Tianci nodded and said, "Maybe we can do this. Aren't they divided their troops to support each other? We can send a small group of troops to directly kill the Baimajin, and then let the large troops wait here. If Zhang Poyue sends troops to support Baimajin, we will cross the river to attack the city. If Zhang Poyue does not move, we can also eliminate the 30,000 enemy naval forces in Baimajin and remove this hidden danger."

"Lord, your idea is pretty good, but I have a problem." Zhao Yun said at this time: "If the enemy goes to support Baimajin, our remaining large troops will cross the river and attack the city, the ships will definitely not be enough. What should we do? If the large troops cannot cross the river, the small groups of troops in the past will be useless?"

"Yes, General Zhao is thoughtful. This is still back to the two difficulties I mentioned just now. The tools for crossing the river are definitely not enough. This innately restricts our plan." Zhang Liao nodded and echoed.

"What should I do? Are you just watching Jingjiang City retreat? " Xiao Tianci said anxiously with some annoyance.

"Lord, you actually thought of a good idea just now. If you change it, it might be a trick to attack the city." Zhang Liao suddenly said at this time.

"How to change it? Wenyuan, tell me quickly." Xiao Tianci asked quickly when he heard this.

"It's very simple. It's better to attack Baimajin and let the large troops go. However, the number of ships collected should not be large, so we can only send a small group of elite troops to cross the river to attack Baimajin. Before the reinforcements from Jingjiang City come to support, you must capture here and eliminate the enemy's 30,000 naval forces. Then we seize their warships, transport the large troops down the river and attack Jingjiang City." Zhang Liao paused for a moment, pursed his lips and continued: "At that time, with the benefit of the warships, he will surely achieve twice the result when attacking Jingjiang City with half the effort."

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Xiao Tianci's eyes lit up and slapped his hands and said, "Wen Yuan's method is good. As long as he seizes the enemy's warship, it will be much easier for us to attack Jingjiang City. It's good, good, so let's do it."

"Lord, who do you plan to let the generals who led the troops to attack Baimajin this time? After all, there should not be too many fishing boats we recruited, so there are even fewer soldiers who can be transported to Baimajin to participate in the battle. Even if they are all elite soldiers, Baimajin will have a total of 30,000 sailors with enemies." At this time, Zhao Yun asked directly. As soon as he finished speaking, several generals all looked at Xiao Tianci with eager eyes, including Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Pang De and others who wanted to take on this job very much.

Xiao Tianci was slightly stunned, glanced at the generals in front of him, and finally stopped at Zhang Liao, with a smile on his lips and said, "Let Wen Yuan go this time, Bai Ma Jin... Bai Ma Jin... Hehe, I hope Wen Yuan, you can also create a miracle that shocks Xiaoyaojin in this world."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao looked slightly excited, and bowed to Xiao Tianci with his hands clasped his fists and said, "Liao will not disappoint the lord's expectations." (To be continued...)
