I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1502 Sharp Conflicts, Storm in Distance

After speaking, Typhon took the lead and walked towards the central command tent, followed closely by Hydra. Huyan Guduhou hesitated for a moment, then followed as well.

Behind him, Tolui, Jochi, and Sihanfei exchanged glances, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing in their eyes, before following him into the central command tent.

Inside the central tent, it was warm and cozy, with a thick wolf-skin carpet on the floor and a roaring cow dung fire burning in the center, making the entire tent feel cozy and warm.

On the table were mare's milk wine, roasted mutton, and other food, as well as a simple map of Yuzhou, on which the location of Fengzhou City and the deployment of the Mongol army were marked with animal blood.

"I heard on the way that you besieged Fengzhou City for many days but failed to take it. Is that kid Zhao Kuangyin really that difficult to deal with?"

Typhon walked up to the map, waved his hand, and a dark blue aura swept across the map. He pointed to the location of Fengzhou City and said in a gruff voice.

"Lord Typhon, Zhao Kuangyin is indeed quite capable, decisive in killing, and the defenders on the city walls are also quite tenacious."

“We tried to launch a fierce attack on the west side of the city before, but the defenders there were well-prepared, and we lost many brothers without being able to break through. Later, we used prisoners to attack the city, but Zhao Kuangyin ordered them to be shot dead. That kid has no mercy at all!”

Jochi sheathed his scimitar, walked to the map, and pointed to the western part of the city.

"Hmph, he's just an unknown nobody from the Central Plains, yet he dares to be so arrogant in front of me!"

"Tomorrow I will personally attack the city, and I will raze Fengzhou to the ground, capture Zhao Kuangyin alive, and twist his head off to use as a chamber pot!"

Typhon scoffed dismissively, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"Good! With Lord Typhon personally taking action, we are sure to succeed! Once the main force arrives, we will have tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry and three thousand Kheshig soldiers, plus the troops of Huyan Guduhou. With sufficient troops, not only will we be able to break through Fengzhou City, but we can even take over the entire Yuzhou!"

Tore quickly echoed.

Although he disliked Huyan Guduhou, he also knew of Typhon's fighting strength. As long as Typhon personally attacked the city, Fengzhou City would surely fall. At that time, he could take the opportunity to take revenge and kill Zhao Kuangyin.

"Lord Typhon, we must not be hasty. Zhao Kuangyin has just repelled our siege and killed so many prisoners. The defenders on the city walls must be in high spirits right now, and they know that reinforcements are coming. They will fight to the death."

"If we rashly attack the city tomorrow, we will likely suffer heavy casualties."

Si Hanfei shook his head, and lightly tapped the ground with the fine steel spear in his hand, making a muffled "thud".

"Hulagu, what do you mean by that? Do you think Lord Typhon is incompetent?"

Tolui frowned.

“Brother, that’s not what I meant. The Mongol cavalry are best at fighting on plains, not at besieging cities. We’ve already suffered a lot of losses before.”

"Although Zhao Kuangyin was tenacious, his garrison was limited in strength and must have been exhausted after many days of siege."

Si Hanfei shook his head.

"Therefore, I think Lord Typhon can hide for the time being. Today, we will only send a small number of cavalry to launch a feint attack, so that Zhao Kuangyin will think that we are still preparing to attack the city and lower his guard."

"Tomorrow night, when he is off guard, Lord Typhon will personally lead the Kheshig army and elite cavalry in a surprise attack. This will surely deliver the decisive blow and capture Fengzhou City!"

Then Sihanfei turned his attention to Typhon.

"Hulagu is right. Zhao Kuangyin must be hoping for reinforcements from Qianzhou. If we feign an attack for a day, he will mistakenly believe that we will not launch a full-scale attack on the city in the short term. His vigilance will be lowered, and his soldiers will take the opportunity to rest. When we launch a surprise attack, our chances of victory will be greater."

A glint of light flashed in Jochi's eyes, and he nodded. "Moreover, the reinforcements from Qianzhou are probably arriving soon. We must capture Fengzhou City as soon as possible, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides when the reinforcements arrive."

"Lord Typhon's Storm Aura is incredibly powerful. If we launch a surprise attack at night and unleash it amidst the chaos, it will surely intimidate the defenders on the city walls. Then, we can take advantage of the situation to attack the city, which will definitely be much more effective."

Si Hanfei added that the black aura emanating from the steel spear in his hand intensified.

Although Tolui was impatient and wanted to attack the city immediately, he also knew that Sihanfei and Jochi were right. The previous hard attack had already caused the Mongol army to lose many brothers. If they could take Fengzhou City with fewer casualties, that would be the best outcome.

He looked at Typhon, awaiting his decision. Typhon, sitting at his desk, frowned and pondered for a moment, the dark blue veins on his arm throbbing slightly.

Although he was impulsive, he knew the importance of the war and would not let momentary impulses delay important matters.

Sihanfei's suggestion was indeed sound, as it could reduce casualties and allow for a surprise attack on the city, which was in line with the flexible combat characteristics of the Mongol cavalry.

"Okay! Let's do as Si Hanfei says!"

"Today, send a small number of cavalry to launch a feigned attack. I will lead the Kheshig troops to hide behind the main camp. Tomorrow night, we will launch a surprise attack on Fengzhou City!"

Typhon slammed his hand on the table, causing the mare's milk jug on it to jump.

"Anyone who dares to leak information or shirk responsibility during the feint attack will face the wrath of my Storm Spear!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the people inside the tent, his tone chilling.

"Follow the order!"

Tuolei, Jochi, Sihanfei, and Huyan Guduhou clasped their fists in greeting.

Huyan Guduhou slightly turned his head to look at Si Hanfei beside him and thought to himself, "This Si Hanfei is indeed deep in thought and much more difficult to deal with than Tolui and Jochi. If I have the opportunity to take revenge in the future, this person will definitely be the biggest obstacle."

But he also knew that now was not the time to think about these things. Only by capturing Fengzhou City could he gain a foothold in the Mongol camp and have a chance to seek revenge.

Seeing that even Tolui, the son of Genghis Khan, and the other two were so sensible, Typhon, who was sitting at the table, nodded in satisfaction, picked up the mare's milk wine jug on the table, and took a big gulp. The strong taste of the milk wine went down his throat and made his whole body feel hot.

He looked at Fengzhou City on the map, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. A dark blue aura emanated from his body, making the temperature in the entire central command tent seem to drop a few degrees.

Before dawn the next day, while the grasslands outside Fengzhou City were still shrouded in a biting chill, the Mongolian camp was already filled with the sound of horns. However, these horns were different from the powerful and stirring sounds of the usual sieges; instead, they carried a sluggish and lazy quality, as if the soldiers had been driven into armor and weapons before they had even woken up.

"This feint attack is really frustrating. We can't really fight like this, but we have to pretend to be fighting desperately."

Tolui, clad in tiger-skin armor, rode a black horse that impatiently pawed at the frozen ground. He glanced at Jochi, who remained expressionless beside him, and then looked at Sihanfei, who was leisurely inspecting the fine steel spear in the distance. He couldn't help but grin and curse.

“We need to be absolutely certain. If you reveal any flaws and Zhao Kuangyin discovers our intention to launch a night attack, all our previous plans will be in vain.”

Jochi continued wiping his scimitar without stopping, and said in a cold voice.

"Today, all we need to do is make a big show of force without making any progress, keep Zhao Kuangyin's attention focused on the city defenses, and make him think that we are still fighting to the death to besiege the city. Then the mission will be accomplished."

He paused, then looked up at the city walls of Fengzhou.
