The next morning, after a night of rest and recuperation, the Tiger Roar Army set off again.
Finally, that afternoon, the army arrived at Red River City.
The people of Longya Lake also left in fear and trepidation; they wanted to go back to their base camp.
Longya Lake is located right between Honghe City and Beijiang City, on the side of a huge lake called Longya Lake, hence they are also known as Longya Lake.
If the people of Longya Lake were to send troops at the right time, they could completely create a pincer movement against Wang Shigao's army.
However, Liu Feng has no plans to send the people of Longya Lake to the battlefield yet.
Revealing Dragon Tooth Lake too early will not be of much benefit to the subsequent battles.
They were not attacked by Wang Shigao's army along the way, and the supplies were delivered smoothly into Honghe City.
The reason Wang Shigao didn't attack this time was probably because his Tiger Roar Army and the army escorting the supplies were too close, making Wang Shigao afraid to take action.
Upon arriving in the city, Liu Feng first settled his army, and then headed straight for Lin Yuan's camp.
Lin Yuan and his wife were surprised to see Liu Feng arrive so quickly, two days earlier than they had expected.
With Liu Feng's arrival, half of the weight on their hearts was lifted.
"How is the war going now?"
Liu Feng sat down and got straight to the point.
"Wang Shigao has already mobilized as many troops as possible within his jurisdiction, and the small-scale attack on Honghe City began yesterday."
"I sent men to harass their supply train, but I was unsuccessful."
"Now, Wang Shigao's main force is stationed between the two cities, which allows them to attack or defend as needed."
"But it seems that their main objective is not to attack the city, but to prevent our army from reaching Beijiang City."
"Northern Frontier City?"
Liu Feng frowned.
"That means that Beijiang City may now be under Wang Shigao's control."
"Or perhaps Wang Shigao's battle to attack Beijiang City is not over yet, and he doesn't want our army to join forces with the defenders of Beijiang City."
Beijiang City has a special location and is a place with developed commerce.
The silver obtained locally accounted for a large portion of the Heaven and Earth Society's income.
Therefore, this place is not simple.
"The current situation in other cities is still unknown, but one thing is certain: all seven major cities in Yanzhou have been infiltrated by the Heaven and Earth Society. Even those cities that have not yet fallen are in dire straits."
"Now that we have occupied Red River City, the nearby cities and areas controlled by others will also make their move."
"If they completely occupy the cities in the northern border region outside the Red River, it will be difficult for us to continue our advance."
Liu Feng nodded in agreement.
"Give me the map."
Liu Yuan had seen the topographical map of Yanzhou several times before, but his memory of it was vague, and he was still not very familiar with the terrain of the cities.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
The current situation is that, under no circumstances should we allow the Heaven and Earth Society to completely control the Northern Frontier City.
Once this city, which is connected to the Northern Barbarians, is captured, the entire Yanzhou will be connected as one, and the army sent to quell the rebellion will have to return empty-handed.
With only tens of thousands of people, occupying and holding Red River City is a problem, let alone advancing.
"General Liu, I have had a sand table specially made. Please take a look."
Lin Yuan knew the situation was serious, so he hurriedly invited Liu Yuan to the front of the sand table.
The area surrounding Beijiang City is mostly flat land, with towering mountains to the north and small hills elsewhere.
The cities further ahead were built directly against the mountain.
There is only one way to enter Beijiang City under the current circumstances.
"It's not too bad."
Liu Yuan glanced at the sand table, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even if Wang Shigao wanted to completely take over Beijiang City, he would have to unite with generals from other places and jointly march into the city through this pass to besiege it."
"If this pass is surrounded, then the garrison and civilians in the city will have no other way to survive. They will either surrender or fight to the death."
"In other words, they have a chance of disintegrating from within, but it's not a big chance."
If we can't even defend this one narrow pass, then we might as well give up.
Liu Feng had an idea in his mind.
"What's the situation inside Beijiang City right now?"
“There are members of the Heaven and Earth Society active in the city, and there are quite a few of them. However, most of them are ordinary people who have been misled by the Heaven and Earth Society. The city’s garrison is less than three thousand.”
"According to previous intelligence, their food supplies can last for eight days, at most ten days."
"After I occupied Red River City, I sent people to contact Northern Frontier City, but by then Northern Frontier City was already surrounded."
"It's been more than ten days in total."
Lin Yuan told Liu Feng everything he knew.
