Shangguan Yuanrang landed, looked up at Wu Rui, then turned his head to look at his own army that was about to withdraw from the enemy camp. He exhaled a long breath and shouted to Wu Rui: "Listen, Sichuan general on the opposite side, today's battle ends here. We will have a chance to fight another fair battle on the battlefield in the future. Remember, my name is Shangguan Yuanrang full text reading!" After saying that, he dragged his sword and ran towards his retreating army. Zhan Hu, who was watching the battle, hurriedly followed him.

Looking at the backs of Shangguan Yuanrang and Zhan Hu running away, Wu Rui stood there for a long time without moving.

"General, the enemy is about to run out of the camp, chase them!" A Sichuan general rushed to Wu Rui and said in a hurry.

Wu Rui came back to his senses, took back his spiritual weapons, and withdrew his spiritual energy to restore it to its original state. Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "No need to chase them anymore. The enemy is brave and resourceful. Even if we catch up, it will be difficult for our army to gain an advantage." The Pingyuan Army saw that they had set up an ambush only two miles into the camp. Their commander was really smart. In the Feng Army, there was a top spiritual martial arts master like Shangguan Yuanrang. It would be unwise to fight him head-on.

"Are we just going to let the enemy run away?"

"What else?" Wu Rui dispersed his spiritual armor and looked at his subordinates with a sense of amusement.

The Chuan general was speechless because even a general like Wu Rui couldn't gain an advantage over the enemy. If he went up, he might not be able to take even one move from them. He whispered, "But... but the Zhen Army has already chased them out..."

"Let them chase if they want to. We just need to take care of our own business." Wu Rui waved his hand, then carried his spear and walked towards his warhorse.

The Zhen army pursued the enemy very hard, and chased them two miles out of the camp. As a result, the retreating Feng army in front suddenly stopped, turned back, and fought against the Zhen army that was chasing them. The Zhen army did not have many troops, and the Sichuan army did not chase the enemy with them. They were defeated by the Feng army. Finally, the generals of the Zhen army saw that they had no hope of winning, so they had no choice but to order a retreat back to the camp.

This battle in which the Pingyuan army and the Sanshui army jointly attacked the enemy camp ended with the retreat of the two armies. The scale of the battle was not large, and it did not last long, but it served as a warning to the commanders of both sides.

After this battle, Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi had to look at the Chuanzhen coalition army with new eyes. These two armies were not comparable to the Anhuan two armies. From the enemy's camp layout, it can be seen that the enemy commander had long been on guard against their own sneak attack and had set up an ambush in advance, as if he could predict the future. It can be seen that his commander had insight into the battle situation and was very good at using troops.

The Sichuan-Zhen coalition was also impressed by the Feng army's alertness, sharpness, and bravery. They were able to calmly retreat after breaking into the enemy camp and taking advantage of the situation. This was not something that ordinary commanders could do. In addition, Shangguan Yuanrang's military power also cast an indelible shadow on the hearts of the soldiers of the two armies, making people feel cold from the bones.

In any case, the sneak attack by the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army did not play a role in restraining the main force of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition, and the battle under the Baguan City continued.

In the afternoon of that day, the second group of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition's siege was replaced by the third group, and the Baguan side, the heavily injured and exhausted defenders were also replaced by the Chifeng Army led by Peng Haochu.

This large-scale siege is evolving into a war of attrition.

The Chuanzhen coalition attacked for a whole day, and the four siege teams had taken turns to go to the battlefield, but Baguan was still impregnable. The Chuanzhen coalition had 800,000 soldiers, but no one could successfully climb the top of the city wall. In the end, Ren Fang ordered Nie Ze to retreat and fight again another day.

After the Chuanzhen coalition retreated from the battlefield, they looked at Baguan again. The city wall was smashed by heavy catapults and many stone bullets were completely embedded in the city wall. They couldn't be dug out. The upper and lower ends of the city wall were covered with blood. The upper end was the blood of the Feng army soldiers, and the lower end was the blood of the Chuanzhen coalition soldiers. As for the corpses, there were too many to count. The ground was basically invisible above and below the city wall. Wherever you look, there are all incomplete corpses lying in all directions.

The battle stopped, and then the corpse collection teams of both sides ran to the battlefield to collect the bodies of their own personnel.

Many of the dead soldiers of the Feng army also fell outside the city. At this time, the corpse collection teams of the three countries of Feng, Chuan, and Zhen gathered under the city, searching for their comrades among the piles of corpses. On the battlefield, the two sides fought to the death, but at this time, they stood up together and lived in peace.

Being surrounded by so many corpses, the expressions on people's faces had long been numb. No one spoke. The whole scene was terribly silent, with only the rustling sound of armor.

Sunset, dusk, crows, and corpses formed a miserable picture.

Carts of corpses were carried back, and the battlefield was quickly cleared. Until this time, people's faces eased a little. The soldiers who were tired and sweating sat on the ground to rest, and they could even chat with each other.

The corpses of both sides were properly collected. Next, flames rose to the sky in Baguan City and the camp of the Chuanzhen coalition. Both sides were burning the bodies of their dead soldiers.

After only one day of fighting, the Feng army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, most of which came from the Baguan defenders, while the Chuanzhen coalition suffered even greater casualties, totaling more than 70,000 people, with the Zhen army's casualties far greater than the Chuan army.

Baguan, in the general's mansion.

After dinner, Tang Yin took a walk alone in the courtyard.

He was thinking about how to fight the next battle. The heavy trebuchets of the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces are astonishingly powerful. After only one day of fighting, the city wall of Baguan has been seriously damaged. If the battle continues for many days, it is hard to say whether the city wall will collapse. Once there is a gap, the enemy can If you enter the city at will, the battle will be extremely difficult.

If all the enemy's trebuchets can be destroyed, it is equivalent to getting rid of one of the biggest threats to one's own side. But how can we destroy the enemy's trebuchets? Tang Yin thought hard and couldn't think of a way. At this time, Qiu Zhen came closer from outside. When he saw Tang Yin, he immediately stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."

"Yes!" Tang Yin responded and asked, "Have all the bodies of our soldiers been cremated?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qiu Zhen nodded, looked at Tang Yin, saw his brows furrowed, and said, "I went to the city wall just now and saw General Yingbu asking people to reinforce the city wall."

Tang Yin asked: "How to reinforce it?"

Qiu Zhen said: "Put strong wooden piles against the city wall."

Tang Yin shook his head and murmured: "Treat the symptoms but not the root cause. No matter how many wooden stakes are used, they will not be able to withstand the heavy blows of the enemy's trebuchets."

Although I don’t want to admit it, this is also true. Qiu Zhen said helplessly: "Doing it is better than not doing it!"

Tang Yin said: "I was just thinking about how to destroy the enemy's trebuchet. Qiu Zhen, you are smart, help me come up with an idea."

"this……"

Heavy weapons such as trebuchets are the treasures of all armies. They are closely guarded and are unlikely to have loopholes for the enemy to exploit. Qiu Zhen thought for a while, then Fang said with a wry smile: "It is impossible to rush into the enemy camp and do damage. We can only have a glimmer of hope when the enemy is attacking the city."

Tang Yin rolled his eyes and asked: "You mean, when the enemy attacks the city, we suddenly open the city gate, kill a group of dead soldiers, pass through the enemy's army, and destroy the trebuchet?" This The solution is even more impossible. When the enemy attacked the city, they invested at least 200,000 troops. How many dead soldiers did our side have to send to defeat the 200,000 enemy troops?

Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "To destroy the enemy's trebuchet, naturally we cannot send troops from within the city. If I remember correctly, there are tens of thousands of Mo horses in the Sanshui Army. Only when the enemy attacks the city can we There are more than ten thousand horsemen approaching the enemy quietly and launching a sudden attack. With Mo Ma's speed, they may arrive before the enemy can remove the trebuchet and destroy them all. "

When Tang Yin heard this, his eyes lit up at first, but soon he shook his head and said quietly: "Even if tens of thousands of Qingqi are dispatched, the possibility of success is very slim!"

Qiu Zhen did not deny that the main force of the enemy army was near the enemy's trebuchet. It was extremely difficult to break in, and the possibility of successfully exiting was zero. This is a suicide attack that may not succeed. It should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary.

Tang Yin looked up, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Perhaps what Zuo Shuang said is not unreasonable. Our army should be prepared to retreat at any time."

Qiu Zhen's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he secretly let out a breath. Giving up the Ba Pass and fighting on the mainland is really not what Fengren wants to see. It may even cause turmoil across the country and many towns will be destroyed, but this is better than putting all the bets on Ba Pass. At least there is There is room for maneuver. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for our side to forcefully defend the pass and keep millions of enemy troops out of the country.

"It is a good thing that your Majesty knows how to adapt, but Baguan is the choke point of our country, and we must not give it to the enemy easily. Our army must not retreat until the last moment."

"That's right." Tang Yin looked deeply and slowly clenched his fists.

Opposite Baguan, there is the camp of the Sichuan-Zhenjun coalition and the Chinese military tent.

After watching the cremation of his fallen soldiers, Nie Ze led the Zhen army generals to the central military tent and came to see Ren Fang. At this time, the generals of the Sichuan army were also there. Seeing Nie Ze coming, people bowed their hands and saluted.

Nie Ze ignored the others, walked up to Ren Fang who was sitting in the middle, and asked angrily: "Commander Ren, in today's battle, our army can invade Ba Pass if we work harder, why did you suddenly order the retreat? ?”

They fought fiercely for a whole day with superior forces, but gained nothing. On the contrary, they suffered countless casualties, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. Nie Ze did not say his own fault, but instead hit the target and questioned anyone first. Let go.

Listening to Nie Ze's unreasonable doubts, Ren Fang didn't look angry. He was still smiling. He bowed slightly, and then asked with a smile: "Can our army invade Ba Pass? Are you sure, General Nie?"

Nie Ze's old face turned red when he was asked, and he hesitated: "I think there is a chance."

"It seems that my views are very different from General Nie. With the city defense of Ba Pass and the toughness of Feng Army, I am afraid that even if we attack for three days, our army may not be able to break into Ba Pass."
