Chapter 1163, Tian, ??Liang brothers
"So you're serious?"
As soon as Li Yufeng finished speaking, Dongfang Liang and Shui Yuntian were so excited that they stood up directly from the chair.
They stared at Li Yufeng with fiery eyes, unable to believe their ears, hoping to get confirmation from Li Yufeng again.
"It's true." Li Yufeng nodded with a wry smile.
Bang!
When Li Yufeng nodded and confirmed, the teacup in Dongfang Liang's hand fell directly to the ground and smashed it.
Without the mood to care about the teacup that had broken and broken, Dongfang Liang and Shui Yuntian looked at each other and quickly said to Li Yufeng: "Brother Li, please rest here for a while. Brother Shui and I need to discuss it separately, so we will go back."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Yufeng to agree, Dongfang Liang and Shui Yuntian entered the study room behind the living room.
After entering the room and closing the door, Dongfang Liang couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Tian, do you think this kid Li Yufeng is messing with us?
If we help him, will he really give us Beixiangyang City on the north bank of the Han River?
You know that is the entire Beixiangyang. If we get there, we will no longer have to worry about the throat of the Nanyang Basin being pinched by others."
Until now, Dongfang Liang still couldn't believe that Li Yufeng would use the entire Beixiangyang as a bargaining chip for rescuing this time, because Beixiangyang's strategic position is really important.
Beixiangyang in the game was called Fancheng in ancient times.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guan Yu once flooded the seven armies in Fancheng, which shocked China.
In that battle, Guan Yu captured Yu Jin and killed Pang De, and directly killed two of the most powerful generals under King Cao Cao of Wei.
It was this battle in Fancheng that scared Cao Cao almost moved the capital at that time.
After losing two powerful generals and 30,000 elite soldiers, Cao Wei directly adopted the defensive moment for a long time, thus completely losing the opportunity to unify the world during the reign of Cao Cao.
Li Yufeng is a hardcore Cao Cao fan. The result of the Battle of Fancheng directly ruined Cao Cao's last glimmer of hope for unifying China, which made him very disgusted with the name Fancheng.
So after occupying the entire Hubei and Fancheng, he directly combined Fancheng and Xiangyang into one and renamed Beixiangyang.
North Xiangyang is backed by the Han River and across the river from South Xiangyang City. It is like a bridgehead extending into the Nanyang Basin, with a very important strategic position.
When the Northern Expedition Alliance was in a hostile state with Li Yufeng's Li Tang, they thought about capturing Beixiangyang City.
However, facing the city with high walls and thick walls, Beixiangyang City, where the Modao Army and the Divine Arm Sagittarius were stationed inside, even if they dispatched the army and the Flying Corps to attack the city, they were unable to break Beixiangyang City in the end.
The heavy armored Modao Army defended the city invincible, which made the siege infantry of the Northern Expedition Alliance unable to climb the city wall at all. The divine arm archers equipped with the divine arm bow became even more powerful. They were simply nightmares for the air forces of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
The Divine Arm Bow is a powerful crossbow with great lethality. Even the griffin beast with thick skin and flesh will be severely damaged by several arrows, not to mention those owl warriors whose defenses are similar to those of humans.
In order to defend Beixiangyang City, Li Yufeng not only arranged a total of 50,000 divine armed archers in the city, but also built the entire Beixiangyang City into a three-dimensional large defensive bunker.
There are many arrow towers in the city, and many places have super-large divine arm bows that require several soldiers to operate.
The Northern Expedition Alliance's Flying Corps was immediately baptized by the rain of arrows shot from different directions as soon as they rushed into the city. At that time, a large number of flying soldiers fell directly to the ground, and even the thick-skinned griffin beast fell down hundreds of them.
Facing the powerful attack of those super-large divine arm bows, even the griffin beast could not resist head-on.
After breaking into the inner city, the Northern Expedition Alliance quickly turned its attention to the city wall. They wanted to use the dive attack of the griffin beast to kill the heavily armored soldiers of the Modao Army, and then let their siege infantry climb the city wall.
However, it is a pity that facing the continuous heavy armored swords and the overwhelming rain of arrows, the Northern Expedition Alliance eventually lost thousands of griffin beasts but failed to truly capture the city.
The siege battle back then was so dark that the sky was killed. Both sides of the enemy and us kept sending various elite legions to Xiangyang City north, just as if those elite armies were completely worthless.
The Northern Expedition Alliance was determined to take down Beixiangyang City, while Li Yufeng also tried to defend the city at all costs.
The battle surrounding Beixiangyang City lasted for a whole month, and finally came to an end with the voluntary retreat of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
In that offensive and defensive battle, although Li Yufeng finally saved Beixiangyang City, he paid a huge price for it.
The heavy armored Modao Army, who was responsible for melee guarding the city, killed more than 90,000 people, almost enough to gather a full army.
In addition, the Divine Arm Shooter who was responsible for launching long-range attacks also killed more than 30,000 people, most of them were killed by the flying corps of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
The losses as the defensive side were so heavy, you can imagine how miserable the Northern Expedition League as the offensive side was.
In the one-month siege battle, the Northern Expedition Alliance not only suffered nearly 150,000 siege infantry, but also suffered more than 300,000 as the main firepower point, including nearly 5,000 griffin beasts, which died directly in the city of Beixiangyang.
It is precisely because this battle caused the Northern Expedition Alliance's Flying Legion that the scene in which their Flying Legion was destroyed in Shanxi in the future.
This battle in Beixiangyang was the beginning of the decline of the Northern Expedition Alliance. Even though they had acquired a lot of forces from behind, they could not return to their original state of prosperity from beginning to end.
It can be said that the Battle of Beixiangyang is an eternal pain in their hearts for the old members within the Northern Expedition Alliance.
Dongfang Liang and Shui Yuntian also participated in the battle directly or indirectly. Whenever someone mentioned Beixiangyang City, their hearts would be stinged hard, because that battle was an indelible shame for them.
Thinking about the fact that they had lost their troops and failed to capture Beixiangyang City, but now Li Yufeng took the initiative to give Beixiangyang City to them, so it is no wonder Dongfang Liang had that kind of reaction, because this was something that he didn't dare to think about in his dreams.
"A Liang, let alone you, even I still think I am dreaming now.
When Li Yufeng said just now that he wanted to give us Beixiangyang City as a reward, I couldn't believe my ears, because Li Yufeng knew better than us about this.
And now he actually gave us the entire Beixiangyang City to deal with the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan. This... this... this is too illogical!
You have already analyzed to Li Yufeng just now that Ning Yuan led a Condor Air Force of less than 200,000 people to fly over the Daba Mountains to invade Xiangyang area. They have no logistics supply and can only rely on robbery to maintain it.
The main grains in the Xiangyang area are stored in Xiangyang City, Yicheng and Nanzhang County.
The grain stored in Nanzhang County was transported to Zhushan County, where the grain was only enough for 200,000 Condor Air Force to maintain it for one or two months, so if Ningyuan could not grab enough food within one or two months, he could only lead his army to retreat.
You and I know how perverted the Divine Arm Sagittarius and Mo Daojun under Li Yufeng are in the battle to defend the city.
Even if Ning Yuan brought a Silver Pegasus Knights this time, it would be difficult to reach the sky if he wanted to conquer Xiangyang or Yicheng.
As long as Li Yufeng persists for another month or two, Ning Yuan will take the initiative to retreat after he can't grab the food.
Not to mention that the farmland in some areas is out of stock, even if the entire Hubei has no harvest this year, relying on so many years of accumulation, Li Yufeng can survive this difficulty safely.
Compared with the annual grain output in Hubei, I think Li Yufeng will not be unclear.
So I still can't understand why he is so scared this time?
Even if we want to give us Beixiangyang, which has an extremely important strategic position, we must stop Ningyuan from destroying the Xiangyang area."
Shui Yuntian is not much better than Dongfang Liang. Until now, he has not figured out why Li Yufeng was so scared this time. He would rather lose Beixiangyang City than drive Ningyuan away.
Seeing Shui Yuntian, he looked frowning, Dongfang Liang became even hesitant.
After looking at the map hanging in the study, looking at the location of Beixiangyang City on the map, Dongfang Liang asked greedily: "Brother Tian, then do you think we should agree to Li Yufeng?"
Hearing Dongfang Liang's questioning, Shui Yuntian looked up at the other party, and he immediately saw the unconcealed heat in Dongfang Liang's eyes.
This cannot be blamed for Dongfang Liang for being moved. Even he is still in his heart now.
Beixiangyang City is really important to them. Even though Li Yufeng has joined the Northern Expedition Alliance now, their desire to get Beixiangyang City has not weakened at all, just like before.
If the two brothers can take this opportunity to take over the Beixiangyang City, it will definitely be a great contribution to the entire Northern Expedition Alliance.
If the two of them could make such great achievements, no one would dare to say that they were promoted from now on by nepotism.
Because this is Beixiangyang City, which was unable to conquer by the entire Northern Expedition Alliance.
As for what Li Yufeng would feel when he was selling out Beixiangyang City, it had nothing to do with them, because with Li Yufeng's ambition, they would sooner or later part ways.
When he thought that this credit would belong to the two brothers, the flames in Shui Yuntian's heart burned uncontrollably, and became more and more prosperous.
He swallowed hard and said, "A Liang, Li Yufeng is now our ally. Whether it is for public or private, we should help him.
Moreover, when the superiors asked you to lead the Flying Legion to station in Nanyang area, in addition to wanting to protect the last Flying Legion, another meaning is that we hope that we can restrain the Condor Air Force that invaded Nanzhang County, so that they dare not be domineering in Hubei.
Now that Li Yufeng is in trouble in Xiangyang, we choose to ignore it, it is simply unreasonable. So I wonder if you want to achieve this unparalleled merit?"
Dongfang Liang was already very moved in his heart. The reason why he couldn't make up his mind was mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to take on this responsibility.
Now that Shui Yuntian's eyes were also hot, he immediately felt at ease when he thought of Shui Yuntian sharing the burden with him.
"Brother Tian, I'm going to be crazy if I want this credit, but I'm worried that we are not opponents of the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan!
I want to rush out and promise Li Yufeng right now, but if we can't beat the enemy, wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Dongfang Liang expressed his concerns.
Although they really wanted to achieve this unparalleled achievement, Dongfang Liang was not completely blinded, because if they wanted to achieve this unparalleled achievement, they had to look at Ning Yuan's expression.
If they could not help Li Yufeng repel or restrain the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan, then even if their entire army was destroyed, Li Yufeng would not give up Beixiangyang City to them.
After hearing Dongfang Liang's worries, Shui Yuntian's face also became solemn.
He frowned and thought about all possibilities, and suddenly, a smile appeared on his face again.
Looking at Dongfang Liang who was still frowning, Shui Yuntian said excitedly: "Aliang, didn't Li Yufeng just say that we just need to help him restrain the Condor Air Force?
In this case, we can lead the Flying Legion and the Condor Air Force to play hide-and-seek games in the sky!
The Condor Air Force retreated, and we immediately followed up.
As the Condor Air Force advances, we immediately retreat.
As long as we can always keep a safe distance from them, they can only play hide-and-seek games with us in the sky.
Because in the face of our full-strength attack, they did not dare to divide their troops at will, otherwise they would provide us with opportunities to defeat them in detail.
In fact, the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan was the only one Silver Pegasus Knights with tens of thousands of people posed a threat to us.
Others, neither the Owl Legion nor the Angel Legion are our opponents, because there are a large number of griffin beasts in our flying legion.
So if Ning Yuan was smart, he would never conflict with us easily, because even the Silver Pegasus Knights would be immediately destroyed as long as they were approached by our griffin beast army.
As we all know, the Silver Pegasus Knights are Ning Yuan's lifeblood, and it is impossible for him to let them take risks easily.
So as long as we control the rhythm, the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan will definitely be firmly held back by us.
Li Yufeng also said that if we delay the Condor Air Force, our mission will be completed. We don’t need to interfere in the ground, so I think we can follow this deal.
However, in order to avoid being plotted by Li Yufeng, we have to argue with him later, and it is best to sign a contract in writing."
