Chapter 893

There was nothing to say for a night. The next morning, it was just dawn, and the camp of Anton's army became lively. Five thousand Turkistan cavalry had already had breakfast before dawn, and their horses were all fed with fodder. When it was light, they left the camp and went to the surrounding area for inspection to find the whereabouts of Jiling's army.

At the same time, he ruolong, who went out with the army, also fed his golden eagle and began to prepare to fly to inquire about the whereabouts of Ji Ling's army. Different from the Turpan cavalry, the main direction of jindiao's exploration was the most likely place, which was discussed by Guo Jia and Pang Tong, that was the front line of irrigation basin.

Five thousand Turkistan cavalry were divided into 50 teams of 100 men, of which 40 teams would set out first, and each team would go in the designated direction. They would conduct a net search. The other ten hundred people teams were personally led by huyandu. After receiving the reward from jindiao, they set out to confirm the intelligence.

When the cavalry and the Golden Eagle left the camp, all the soldiers in the camp began to gather. As yesterday, 30000 of them would go to the west of Anfeng city with siege equipment after breakfast, ready to continue to attack Anfeng City, while the remaining 30000 soldiers were left in the camp to reinforce the camp and strengthen defense.

All the arrangements were faithfully carried out. Within the camp, Huangfu Chaobo did not go out with Huang Zhongbu, but waited for news from all over in his own account. Guo Jia and Pang Tong are also in his big account, but they are not free. They take out the information about yuan Shujun collected recently for another analysis and comparison, hoping to find some clues.

As time went on, information from different places was sent one after another, and the first thing to get in return was the Golden Eagle. He ruolong came to report that the golden eagle had found a large number of soldiers and horses gathering 50 miles northwest of the camp, roughly estimated to be about 100000.

After getting the report from he ruolong, Huangfu Chaobo immediately ordered huyandu to lead 1000 Tu cavalry to inspect.

Soon afterwards, the search troopers also sent people to report that a floating bridge nearest to the camp had been destroyed. They also met the soldier Yuan Shu who destroyed the bridge by the river. There was a battle between the two sides. After killing dozens of the other side, the cavalry troops would quickly return to the camp and report the news to Huangfu Chaobo.

As time went on, more and more intelligence was collected. Guo Jia and Pang Tong marked each piece of intelligence on the map one by one. By noon, almost all the Tujia cavalry had returned. To everyone's relief, except for the Jiling army in the northwest, no other army had been found.

However, at this time, the 1000 Tu cavalry personally led by huyandu had not been able to return. For the specific situation of Ji Ling's soldiers and horses, everyone was waiting for the news from huyandu.

At a quarter to three in the afternoon, huyandu returned to the camp. After returning to the camp, huyandu immediately entered Huangfu Chaobo's account to report information. After getting the information of huyandu, Guo Jia and Pang Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were only 100000 troops in Jiling department, including 10000 heavy infantry, 10000 imperial guards, 40000 combat troops, and the remaining 40000 should be guards and the so-called city guards. If we add the reinforcements of Anfeng and Yulou, it would be 130000 troops, which is different from our 120000 troops It seems that there is still hope.

Now that the information has been obtained, Pang Tong and his wife begin to plan on the map.

More than half an hour later, they worked out a general plan. Pang Tong said, "Lord, there are several things to be arranged immediately."

Huangfu Chaobo nodded and motioned him to continue.

"One of them is to collect all the horses in the camp. In addition to the cavalry, Yuanrong crossbow soldiers are also sent out to stop the Jiling army and delay the movement of his army as much as possible."

"The second is to quickly give orders to General Huang Zhong and general Zhang Ying, ordering them to attack the city with all their strength from now on. They must give the garrison the illusion that they are in danger and that they are still fighting when they are trapped. If necessary, they can even sacrifice three or five thousand soldiers."

After listening to Pang Tong's words, Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. He didn't respond and said, "why is that?"

Pang Tong said with a smile, "if the Lord and Ji Ling were to change places, what would he think if he found that our army reacted like this?"

"Hold down the main force of our army, and your main force will attack the city with all its strength. You have to jump over the wall!" Huangfu's reaction came over and said,

"it's true that these reactions are normal reactions that Ji Ling thinks our army should have, so please arrange them immediately and let's discuss the next strategy." Guo Jia nodded and said;

without hesitation, Huangfu Chaobo immediately ordered all the horses to be mobilized from the whole army. Except for the Tujia, all the rest were equipped with Yuanrong crossbow soldiers. A total of 3000 horses were collected in the army. All these crossbow soldiers were handed over to huyandu to slow down the speed of Jiling army and buy time for the army.

At the same time, the order to attack the city with all one's strength was passed to the two major generals. Half an hour later, under Anfeng City, Huang Zhongbu's attack suddenly became extremely fierce. Anton's army almost made a concerted effort to attack the city wall. Fortunately, after what happened last night, Ji Bao had already made preparations. Besides the 2000 soldiers arranged to patrol the city, the 10000 city guards arranged 2000 soldiers to strengthen defense on each side of the city wall. Moreover, there were 500 heavy armour under each side of the city wall The infantry are in full gear.When he noticed that Huang Zhong's army had a strong attack, Ji Bao quickly mobilized a thousand city guards who had already been prepared to go to the city, and soon drove Anton's army down the city. However, this round of attack made both sides lose thousands of people, almost the total loss of yesterday's Day.

Watching the city head return to his own control, county captain Li Lin can't help but secretly congratulate himself. Fortunately, Ji Bao dispatched troops in time, otherwise the wall might be lost. Thinking of this, Li Lin quickly flatters Ji Bao, who knows that flattery hits the leg of the horse. Li Lin asked Ji Bao to go back to the city building to have a rest. As soon as he said that, he was whipped back by Ji Bao.

"Come on, pass on the general's order. The city guards will go up to the city, replace the guards of Anfeng City, take over the defense at the head of the city, and the guards will retreat. It is said that the heavy armour infantry of each city wall will command the captains and be ready to climb the city to support them at any time, regardless of exposing the strength of the army in the city. "

Frightened by Ji Bao's running orders, Li Lin stammered: "Ji... General Ji... It doesn't have to be like... Is that so? "
