In particular, after he marched to this place and launched an attack, he discovered that Liu Feng had already built trenches and city walls.
The city's defenses are now impeccable.
It's also possible that Liu Feng never cooperated with Qian Mu's army at all, which is why he built these defensive measures.
However, he is completely unsure about this matter right now.
However, given the current situation, he cannot back down; the die is cast, and he has no choice but to proceed.
In any case, even if there is almost no threat from Qian Mu at the moment, we must do one thing well: to win quickly. If we cannot do that...
Although they have a large number of people, they will also encounter trouble. Regardless of whether the reinforcements will come or not, they should expect them to come and completely defeat the Tiger Roar Army before they arrive.
"Okay, then I'll trust you one last time."
Sola planted her dagger in the map.
Shui Linglong nodded as well.
"Alright, I'll start building siege ladders now. Zhengde County is just a small county after all. With so many of us, we can build over a hundred ladders in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. After that, we'll attack the city with all our might, regardless of the cost."
"good……."
The two reached an agreement, and Sola didn't waste any time, mounting his horse and leaving immediately.
Meanwhile, on Liu Feng's side...
Liu Feng is now leading an army of 10,000 men in a grand procession.
The time was well spent building the cloud ladders, and three hours had already passed. While they were still building the cloud ladders, Liu Feng's army had already arrived outside Zhengde County.
"General, our scouts report that the enemy has crossed the trenches."
"A large-scale siege is currently underway."
Yu Chisheng hurriedly reported the latest news to Liu Feng.
"General, I suggest we wait a bit longer. Once the enemy begins their siege, we can launch a large-scale attack and catch them off guard."
The strategist Tian Feng immediately offered his suggestion.
Liu Feng frowned slightly.
"Have you ascertained the enemy's troop deployment?"
"General, Shi Fen is leading the army. The Northern Barbarians are located by the river. After the first round of losses, they still have a little over two thousand men left. The rest are under Shui Linglong's command, besieging the city walls. Their numbers are at least fifteen thousand."
Yu Chisheng answered again.
Liu Feng nodded, revealing a meaningful smile.
When Liu Feng left a few days ago, the city wall was still under construction. Judging from the situation at that time, it could be completed in the next few days, but there would definitely still be gaps.
The fact that the northern barbarian cavalry chose the river location means that the construction of the city walls was not yet fully completed.
Because Liu Feng personally planned the city wall, it was actually intended to cross the river.
This means that, in addition to the construction of the city wall itself, there were two other very important but difficult-to-construct sections in the entire construction of the city wall.
The first one is the city gate, which is the only passage into Zhengde County.
Secondly, there's the river. The river needs to pass under the city wall, so an arrow tower will need to be built to defend against enemies that might appear on the water.
This place was the most difficult to build because either the river had to be blocked off and then a city wall had to be built on top of it.
Alternatively, the river could flow under the city wall, but this would easily damage the wall in the event of floods or other disasters. Therefore, the only option was to build a sluice gate here and place the city wall on top of the sluice gate.
Given the current terrain of Siwa Village, choosing a sluice gate is the best solution.
However, this type of construction is extremely difficult, and it also requires the addition of a watchtower, making it impossible to complete in a short period of time.
Therefore, Liu Feng ordered that the construction of this place be left until the very end.
At present, the most likely explanation is that the construction on that side has not yet been completed, leaving a gap of moderate size in the riverbed.
The northern barbarian cavalry could easily cross the river.
If Liu Feng were here now, the tactic would be simple: send someone to hold the enemy at the front while having someone else flank them from the side.
"General, what should we do now?"
Seeing that Liu Feng hadn't spoken for a while, Yu Chisheng hurriedly asked about the next plan.
"Personally, do you hate the Northern Barbarians more, or do you hate the Heaven and Earth Society more?"
Liu Feng looked at Yuchi Sheng and asked with a smile.
"General, they are naturally the northern barbarians."
Yu Chisheng spoke without hesitation.
What he said was not without reason. For most people and most generals, the Northern Barbarians were an external invasion, and the Northern Barbarians were inherently cruel. They wantonly killed civilians, causing great harm to the people of Dali.
The Heaven and Earth Society's internal conflicts are like a family's youngest son being naughty and wanting more than the others; it's a problem that can be solved within the family behind closed doors.
Moreover, although the Heaven and Earth Society desired the world, they had not actually done anything reckless or massacred the people. On the contrary, the people of Yanzhou were doing quite well.
Although the fact that things are going well is the result of the governance of the Dali officials on the surface, as the stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Society, how could the people of Yanzhou live well without the strong support of the Heaven and Earth Society?
"Good, you can see clearly inside and out."
"Alright, everyone, listen to my command."
"We will divide our forces into four thousand men and advance towards the river. We have only one requirement: we must completely surround the two thousand-plus cavalrymen of the Northern Barbarians outside the city walls."
As for Ansola, who had already made his plans, he had by this time returned to his army.
The army began to be reorganized.
He lined up his few infantrymen under the city wall, preparing to use them as cannon fodder.
