At the same time, the Wei Liaozhen garrison on the other side of the river finally had a chance to rest after days of training, and naturally they would not let it go.
With 50,000 people having dinner together, the scene was naturally quite spectacular. All kinds of rude sounds and curses were heard constantly, making it look very lively.
And these news were also continuously transmitted to Li Zai and the generals in Xuancheng through scouts.
At this moment, the Gaoyang Kingdom can already confirm it.
The Great Wei will definitely launch an attack in the next one or two days.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to provide the already insufficient food and fodder to ensure that the soldiers below were well fed and watered.
So they also began to step up their vigilance and continue to build various fortifications.
Especially Li Zai.
He also began to order reinforcements from all sides to speed up their march.
Although Xuancheng now has an army of 150,000, it still feels not enough.
Because his goal was not only to win this battle, but also to mobilize more troops to counterattack and threaten the Wei and Liao towns.
Even if we cannot capture it, we can still declare to everyone the power of Gaoyang Kingdom.
After all, the opponent is the Wei Dynasty!
now.
In Li Zai's eyes, everything was as planned.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that because his attention was all on the other side,
At this moment, on a hilltop thirty miles away, Song Hongzhi, under the cover of the Liaozhen garrison and the cover of night, quietly crossed the Green River with eight hundred elite soldiers and was looking down at Xuancheng below.
He rode a white horse, held a silver spear, and his eyes were full of calmness and composure.
"General, what should we do next?"
At this time, a deputy general rode over and said.
He is also the only deputy general who came with him this time.
At this moment, besides confusion, he was also shocked.
The first thing he didn't expect was that his general would choose to take advantage of the night and directly cross the Green River, detouring to the right side of Xuancheng.
Because it is completely inconsistent with the previous order to wage a war.
There are still doubts in my heart.
He didn't understand, even if he took Anzhong across the Green River, what would it matter?
After all, he only has 800 men under his command. Although Xuancheng is not a strong city and is not even comparable to some small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are still 150,000 troops stationed there.
So the deputy general had nothing but doubts in his mind.
"Of course we will launch an attack on Gaoyang Kingdom." Song Hongzhi beside him smiled, his eyes still full of confidence.
"Attack? Just... us?" The deputy general was shocked when he heard this and said, "General, we have too few people. If we just attack Xuancheng like this, it will be useless."
Eight hundred against one hundred and fifty thousand, there is almost no chance of winning.
"Who said we were going to attack Xuancheng?"
But at this moment, Song Hongzhi was stunned, and then continued: "Our target is not Xuancheng, but other places."
Other places?
Upon hearing this, the deputy general became even more confused.
If we cross the Green River now and don’t attack Xuancheng, where is that?
You know, Gaoyang State is now mobilizing its troops across the country, and it seems that there will be some problems wherever it moves.
Helplessly, he spurred his horse forward and continued, "General, please forgive my eloquence. Now, apart from Xuancheng, it would be useless for us to attack any other part of Gaoyang State."
"Especially in the major cities within a radius of a hundred miles, almost all of them have Gaoyang's troops stationed there, with at least ten thousand of them."
"Those with less than 10,000 are all small towns and have absolutely no value."
In his eyes, the most effective way is to launch an attack on Xuancheng.
As for other places, it makes no sense at all.
"I, the General, understand what you are thinking."
Song Hongzhi laughed again and continued, "Since it is within the territory of Gaoyang, attacking a city within a hundred miles will not have any effect, but what if it is this place?"
As he spoke, he took out the map of Gaoyang State and pointed directly to a place.
And after he pointed out that place.
The deputy general beside him.
His eyes suddenly widened with an expression of incredible disbelief, and he was completely stunned.
Because the place Song Hongzhi wanted to attack was not Xuancheng, or even any of the surrounding cities.
But it is the capital of Gaoyang State, Gaoping City!
"this..."
The deputy general's expression was trembling. He swallowed hard and asked, "Are you going to attack Gaoping City?"
"That's right!" Song Hongzhi put away his smile, his eyes gleaming with brilliance as he continued, "For this battle, Gaoyang State hasn't exhausted its entire national strength, but it's almost there. They've assembled a 150,000-man army directly in Xuancheng."
"These armies were mobilized from all over the country, so many empty cities with no one guarding them have appeared within Gaoyang."
"They are also constantly mobilizing their troops, almost putting all their focus on this battle. The number of troops mobilized has probably reached over 200,000."
"This means that we won't encounter any obstacles on our way to Gaoping City."
At this point, he continued, "According to the reliable intelligence we have received, even if Gaoyang State tried its best, it could only muster less than 300,000 troops. I'm afraid even Gaoping City's defenses are extremely weak."
"If we were to directly raid the Gaoyang capital at this time, imagine how this battle would turn out."
Was the raid on Gaoping City successful?
The deputy general was shocked.
You know, the royal family of Gaoyang and the King of Gaoyang are all there now.
