Chapter 421 Drunk Beauty
[PS: Supplementary leader "Colorful Cloud South" added more updates, apologies. Caiyunzhinan is also the first Dharma protector, the first elder, and the first sect leader in this book, and he has won many first bloods on the fan list. He is a master, thank you! ! ! 】
The sky above Anyang City was filled with blood.
The flames of war have been burning from morning to evening, and they are still as vigorous as pity and will never go out.
The bloody light soaring into the sky complements the sunset glow in the sky.
Like a dream, like an illusion.
Like weeping, like complaining.
In the flames of war, the humble Anyang City has always stood firm.
Lian Po rode on the horse, frowning.
The tenacity of the enemy army was simply beyond his imagination. Three or four times throughout the afternoon, the army came close to taking the walls, only to be beaten back again and again.
It's really an iron army.
Lian Po thought of the Jiangdong warriors who had shown their might on the frontal battlefield before. Perhaps they were the only ones who could compare with the enemy army in front of them.
Feelings are emotions, but Lian Po's brows are furrowed even tighter. Although the lord didn't say anything clearly, and didn't accuse anything, Lian Po could feel that the lord was dissatisfied with the situation of the battle, and Lian Po was dissatisfied with him.
The 30,000 army stormed all afternoon, but they couldn't take down the small Anyang City.
Procrastinate any longer, for fear of changes!
In just one afternoon, more than 7,000 soldiers were killed. Such a large number of casualties is really terrible. At the foot of the west wall of Anyang City, it was completely turned into a gloomy morgue, with blood flowing like a river.
Groups of vultures are circling in the sky, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Under the reflection of the blood light, even the sunset looks strange.
Against the backdrop of the sunset, the circling vultures had bursts of red light in their eyes. Affected by the blood, some vultures have become violent, so they will fly down to peck at the "delicious food" regardless of everything.
On the top of the city, the lord's flag of Shanhai Ling is still fluttering in the wind, it will never fade, and it will become more and more colorful.
The guardians of the banner, the soldiers of the Habayashi guards, also stand firm.
In this campaign, there were not many guards left from the 1,400 aristocratic families, only a few single seedlings remained.
The elite brought by Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang also suffered heavy losses. Compared with Habayashi Guard, they are not weak in combat power, only weak in morale and blood.
The three thousand feather forest guards now have a common military spirit. That scarlet figure standing still is their army soul. From that moment on, every member of the Habayashi guards was willing to die for the king.
I will not regret until death.
On this day, another five hundred forest guards left forever.
***********
The red sun was sinking to the west, and the last ray of sunset glow disappeared into the distant sky.
Night is coming.
Lian Po let out a long sigh, "Withdraw the troops!"
"promise!"
In the rumble, the soldiers who were still attacking the city receded like a tide. When they passed by the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, what was left in their hearts was only rejoicing and endless exhaustion.
They couldn't imagine that the enemy army on the city wall seemed to never tire.
Veteran Lian Po took one last look at the top of the city, turned his horse's head, and walked towards the camp.
Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, no matter what the price is, he must take Anyang City.
In veteran Lian Po's eyes, bursts of murderous intent flashed.
***********
Anyang City, City Lord's Mansion.
Ouyang Shuo, who was admired and sung by the soldiers, was scolded the moment he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, without any trace of heroism.
Bai Hua and the two daughters, Feng Prison and Huang, carefully treated his wounds, feeling very distressed.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo yelled in pain, but it was Feng Qiuhuang who patted his wound.
"Let you show off!"
A trace of tears flashed in Feng Prisonhuang's eyes.
Drunk beauty, beauty love.
Young man, when will you sigh.
Plug the reed pipe, the sandbar pipa.
Confidante tears, pull heartbroken.
Mo Dao is young and romantic, and when he doesn't see him, he tears away from others.
Even Bai Hua complained a lot to Ouyang Shuo.
"Wuyi, do you know how important you are to Shanhai City, Shanhaimeng, and even the entire Qin Dynasty camp?! Gentlemen don't stand under dangerous walls. I don't need to explain this truth?"
"Of course I understand, but..."
"No but, the big deal is that we withdraw from Anyang City. We still have the upper hand in the battle. There is no need to put all your eggs in one basket and risk our lives."
"That's right!"
Feng Prisonhuang followed suit with a dissatisfied expression.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "What do you mean? Do you know how long it will take for Bai Qi to complete the strategic goal once this opportunity is missed? How many people will die during this period?"
Silence, dead silence.
It's not how great they are, how compassionate they are.
But on the death list, there must be their fighters, and they still account for the majority.
War is so cruel.
After a long time, Ouyang Shuo broke the silence and said, "This time Dichen attacked, there must be some expert advice behind it. That's why we can't let Dichen succeed. Otherwise, it really doesn't matter who wins and who loses." Easy to say."
"An expert?"
"That's right. Bai Qi's scheme is so cryptic, but this person explained it right away."
"a?"
"Think about it, who in the anti-Qin camp can wrestle with Bai Qi?"
"Wu Qi?"
"No." Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "If it's Wu Qi, it's not Dichen, but Xiongba."
"It's him?"
Suddenly, both Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang were startled, thinking of one person.
The two women are also well-informed. At that time, the lords were all trying to make up for their historical knowledge, so they could guess one of them immediately.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, it must be Han Xin."
Feng Prisonhuang said unconvinced: "Why are you so sure?"
"Because it's Dichen who came." Ouyang Shuo said firmly, "As the representative of a foreigner, Dichen is the only one who has the conditions to contact Han Xin."
Ouyang Shuo has been a foreign representative four times, and he is very familiar with the authority of the foreign representative.
"Maybe it's Lian Po?"
Feng Prison Huang was still not convinced.
"Lian Po? If Lian Po could think of it, he wouldn't come to attack Anyang City just now."
Ouyang Shuo's eyes were unpredictable.
Although Lian Po and Bai Qi were among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period at the same time, there is still a gap between the two.
"Makes sense."
"Han Xin, that's a fierce man." Ouyang Shuo's eyes flashed with envy, and he said, "If he and Bai Qi are really going to fight this battle, we don't know how long it will take."
"So, we must wait until Wang Lijun arrives tomorrow."
Ouyang Shuo's tone was firm.
The second daughter, Bai Hua, looked at each other without words, and could no longer speak words of persuasion.
"Wuyi, how can we help?"
"can!"
Ouyang Shuo spoke surprisingly.
"you say!"
The two women were shocked and couldn't wait.
"You have forgotten that there are still four fierce men in our team." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "If they are willing to step forward, our chances of winning will be a little higher."
"Yeah, why have you forgotten Zhou Bo and the others!"
"Ha! With three fierce generals joining, wouldn't it be more powerful?"
"Don't be too happy." Ouyang Shuo shook his head, had to splash cold water, and said, "Their knots are not so easy to untie."
"Don't worry, leave it to us!"
Feng Prisonhuang is full of confidence, she is not good at fighting, but she is still very confident in doing ideological work.
In Bai Hua's eyes, there was also a flash of brilliance.
"Then I'll wait and see."
"Humph!"
Feng Prisonhuang turned around arrogantly, pulled Bai Hua, and left the study together.
***********
After the two women left, a young officer walked into the study.
"Your Majesty!"
It was the intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Department who came with him, and he looked at Junhou with a look of admiration. Jun Hou's actions in the afternoon have spread throughout the army.
"Wang Lijun, do you have a reply?"
"Have!"
The intelligence officer handed over Wang Li's reply letter.
Ouyang Shuo opened it, his brows slightly relaxed.
Wang Li issued a military order in the letter, 50,000 vanguards must arrive in Anyang City before noon tomorrow.
"Go down!"
"promise!"
The intelligence officer stepped back, a trace of worry flashed across Ouyang Shuo's face. Although the battle during the day was won, it was only a miserable victory. Even if he can resist tomorrow morning, Habayashi will be disabled.
More importantly, he is now exposed, exposed to the anti-Qin camp. Ouyang Shuo couldn't imagine what it would be like to besiege Anyang City with an army of tens of thousands.
In that case, he could only abandon the city and flee.
Otherwise, once you are caught, you will lose everything.
Difficult!
Such a predicament, how to solve it?
If you retreat, you can't retreat; if you keep, you can't keep it.
No matter, let Bai Qi have a headache, his task is to stick to it.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo swiped his pen and wrote a secret letter to Bai Qi. In the letter, Ouyang Shuo introduced today's battle situation and Wang Lijun's movements in detail.
Ouyang Shuo made it clear that he would stick to Anyang City until reinforcements arrived. As for the task of containing Xiang Yu's army, it was Bai Qi's responsibility.
Presumably, Bai Qi will think of a way.
After all, Ouyang Shuo only needs to buy half a day for him in vain.
***********
Under the night, the hustle and bustle of Anyang City regained its tranquility.
All the ugliness is covered by the night.
Outside the city, the camp of the Dichen Ministry.
Di Chen was alone in the tent, drinking a lot of wine.
A great sense of frustration welled up in Shen Chen's heart through the alcohol.
Dichen didn't expect that Shanhai City's trump card troops would be so powerful. Compared with them, the elite he was so proud of was nothing but bullshit.
The most hopeless thing in the world is not that you cannot compare with your opponent, but that you have climbed a mountain and thought you have caught up with your opponent, only to find that your opponent has climbed a higher mountain.
The mountains look up.
no!
In Dichen's eyes, a fierce light flashed.
According to his observation, according to today's posture, even tomorrow, the army may not be able to capture Anyang City.
Di Chen didn't dare to gamble any more.
Qiyue Wuyi, you are so confident, then face the vast army!
Thinking of this, Di Chen worked hard and quickly wrote a secret letter.
After thinking about it, he wrote a second letter.
"Come on!"
"exist!"
"Send this letter to General Xiang overnight, and call it an urgent military situation."
"promise!"
Di Chen took out the second secret letter and said, "Give this letter to General Han."
"clear!"
The personal guard is Di Chen's absolute confidant and knows of Han Xin's existence.
"Go!"
Di Chen waved his hand, his eyes were inexplicable.
Tomorrow, it will be another battle of needles against wheat.
