Text Chapter 1165: Xiping Bloody Battle-4
After nightfall, there was no light in the starry night, and the entire Xishan Province was shrouded in darkness.
In Huoxi County, the crows kept silent on the dead branches, and they flew up at every turn. The entire Huoxi County, northeast, west, and three directions were full of heavy soldiers. Yang Shang had mobilized 300,000 elite soldiers to ambush here.
But after a long while, what was waiting was only the clamor and shouts of Zhang Wei's troops in the distance, but no one was seen entering the granary of Huoxi County. The haystacks in the granaries caught fire one after another, because most of the haystacks in the granary were connected together due to the hastily piled up. When a fire started, it spread quickly.
Under the tree, Yang Shang's face was extremely ugly, illuminated by the fire in the distance. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said, "Why didn't their air force be attacked by the sharp blade in the wind?"
Xun Xi frowned: "I don't know, maybe the sharp blade in the wind is controlled by Feng Jixing."
"Immediately, put out the fire, send cavalry to outflank from the rear, and kill the enemy army five miles away!"
"yes!"
...
At the same time, the camp on the banks of the Lu River was on fire. In the light of the flames, figures of cavalry cavalry from the imperial army flew by. Feng Jixing, dressed in a white robe, personally led the crowd to attack the camp. No one could stop him. , 30,000 iron cavalry killed everyone, broke through three camps in a row, beheaded countless enemies, and Feng Jixing's two knives were already dripping with blood.
In just one hour, 30,000 iron cavalry smashed the 100,000 army by the river to pieces. The cavalry of the imperial army came like lightning, catching the opponent off guard. Originally, the merchant army had dragon knight scouts, but the dragon knight was killed by the wind saw Lost more than half, how dare to ascend to heaven, so that there will be this fiasco tonight.
Feng Jixing looked at the sky, and an hour had passed. He raised his brows, raised his bloody Scarlet Phoenix Saber, and shouted: "Retreat sequentially, with the third battalion at the head, the second battalion in the middle, and the third battalion behind. Withdraw to Xiping City at full speed!"
"yes!"
The drums were rumbling, and the 30,000 cavalry were not damaged much, and they disappeared into the night quickly like the wind, leaving behind a messy merchant camp with howling ghosts and gods.
...
At dawn, the Huoxi county food and grass camp was filled with smoke. The fire was finally extinguished, but it was obvious that a lot of food and grass had been damaged.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yang Shang, who had received the military report, trembled all over his body, heaved a sigh of relief, almost unable to continue, slammed the table with a livid face, and shouted: "Why is this happening!? Luhe has us Nearly 200,000 infantry, why were they defeated so easily?!"
The commander with blood on his helmet knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and said: "They came too fast, and all of them were well-equipped iron cavalry. We didn't even get any news. All the sentinel cavalry were killed. We didn't know the enemy was attacking the camp until we heard the sound of horseshoes, but it was too late, and three camps were breached in a row, with more than 60,000 casualties."
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
Yang Shang was furious.
Xun Xi looked at the commander and said, "Your guard is too slack, why don't you go down quickly, what are you doing here, waiting for His Majesty to chop off your head?"
"Yes, I will retire at the end..."
He left in a hurry.
"How could this be...how could this be the result?" Yang Shang's face was a little bewildered, and he said, "We are using Huoxi County as bait, and an army of 300,000 troops as hooks, but why did Feng Jixing go? Using 200,000 Luhe infantrymen as bait, is there such a fish that bites the bait in the whole world?"
Xun Xi said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Marshal Chen Yu's plan has been seen through by Feng Jixing, so Feng Jixing will take advantage of our unpreparedness to attack boldly and kill countless soldiers of our army on the Lu River."
"Chen Yu, what do you say?!" Yang Shang suddenly slapped the table with a murderous look.
Chen Yu sat there dejectedly, and murmured: "This defeat is all my fault, it's because my subordinates underestimated Feng Jixing's strategy... Your Majesty, please come down, Chen Yu is willing to bear any punishment."
"Come here, take off the rank of Marshal Chen Yu, and demote him to General of Chariots and Cavalry. I will take the position of Marshal for the time being. Xun Xi is the military commander of the whole army. I will immediately make a plan to destroy this Xiping City!"
"yes!"
Chen Yu knelt there quietly, and was demoted two levels in an instant, but smiled instead of anger.
"What are you laughing at?" Yang Shang said coldly.
Chen Yu laughed at himself: "The last general is not Lin Muyu's opponent, nor Feng Jixing's opponent. He deserves to end up like this, Your Majesty is wise."
"snort!"
Yang Shang glanced at the crowd and said: "Let's have a discussion, what should we do next, our supply of food and grass is already insufficient, and Feng Jixing is now gaining momentum, I'm afraid we won't be able to conquer Xiping City in a short time."
Xun Xi said: "Marshal, Xiping City doesn't have much food and grass. Even if Sikong Yao hoarded some food and grass, the food in Xiping City has always been supplied by the surrounding farms and county towns. Almost every day there are convoys transporting food into Xiping City, but now, after we besieged the city, the supply of the Chamber of Commerce and the convoy has been cut off. The rations of nearly two million people in Xiping City are not a small number. As long as we surround Xiping City, I am sure they will collapse without attacking. , Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu and other generals in the Broken Cauldron Realm claim to be benevolent and righteous, they are not willing to eat people, so they must not last long."
"Okay, immediately send an order to the surrounding states and counties to prepare food and grass. We can hold it, but Feng Jixing can't."
"yes!"
Yang Shang's eyes turned cold, he looked at Chen Yu, and said, "General Chen Yu, your hometown, Luohan City, has always been famous for its abundance of food and rice. Now that the former army no longer needs you, how about... General Let's lead five hundred riders back to Luohan City, and prepare food and grass on my behalf, how about it?"
A group of generals around were stunned, Yang Shang wanted to let Yang Shang become a grain official, it was too humiliating!
"marshal……"
Wei Qiyang, the deputy commander of the Tianjue Corps, looked very ugly, and called Chen Yu in a low voice.
Chen Yu pretended not to hear, but bowed his head and kowtowed: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty will definitely complete the preparation of food and grass as soon as possible, and send them to the front line continuously."
"Okay, let's go! Give the talisman of the Tianjue Corps to Wei Qiyang, and the legion will be under Wei Qiyang's command temporarily."
"yes……"
...
At noon, Chen Yu had a large tent, and he had already packed his luggage and was ready to set off.
"Wow!"
The tent door was thrown open suddenly, and two generals came in with their hands on the hilts of their swords. One of them was Wei Qiyang, the temporary commander of the Tianjue Corps, and the other lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly.
"Lift up your face." Chen Yu said lightly.
The man raised his head, and Chen Yu was shocked: "Zhou Binlong!?"
It was Zhou Binlong who guarded Luohan City and was the general of the 200,000 Land Absolute Soldiers.
"It's the last general."
Zhou Binlong and Wei Qiyang knelt down together, and said: "Your Majesty, we are all former members of the Tianjue Empire. Now that Your Majesty is being humiliated by this, the last general and General Wei can't stand it any longer. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, we are willing." Lead all the troops to take back the entire territory of the Tianjue Empire, and restore our rule of the Tianjue Empire."
"Are you crazy?" Chen Yu said lightly.
Wei Qiyang shook his head and said: "We are not crazy, Your Majesty can think about it, at this time and at that time, at that time, Yang Shang's army of 60,000 gods, we should not be able to resist, but now Yang Shang's army is all mortals, But we have an army of 400,000 in our hands, plus the garrison troops in the major provinces of the Tianjue Empire, there are nearly a million. Why should we condescend to be inferior to villains like Yang Shang? Today's situation will eventually be seen. , Winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists, Yang Shang only takes anger on His Majesty just because of a defeat, this kind of person is not worthy of His Majesty's allegiance to him, as long as His Majesty says a word, the ministers are willing to shed their heads and blood, and they will die!"
"Get up, be careful that the walls have ears."
Chen Yu looked indifferently, and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, Wei Qiyang, you have to find the right time to return to the country with the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Tianjue Corps, and I... I will go into the sea if I go. , The birds return to the forest, I am afraid they will never come back again."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Wei Qiyang's eyes were burning, and he said: "I just got the news that Lin Muyu has sent Qianfeng as the general, and Chen Xiaoli, Qin Yan, Tang Zhen and others as generals, leading an army of 200,000 to help Xiping City. It will come, once these 200,000 people arrive, Feng Jixing will be able to respond to the reactionary counterattack from inside and outside. At that time, I am afraid that the merchant army will stop fighting and chaos, and the minister will look for opportunities, pretend to be defeated, and return to the army Retreat east and return home."
"good!"
Chen Yu said: "Zhou Binlong, immediately send heavy troops to guard the pass outside the forest, seal off the entire Tianjue Empire, and issue my holy edict. When Wei Qiyang leads the Tianjue Corps to return, it will be the day when our Tianjue Empire will restore the country! "
"yes!"
...
Phoenix Mountain, at the junction of Lieshan Province and Hongyan Province, got its name because a phoenix once appeared, but that is an ancient legend. As for whether there is a phoenix, no one can say for sure.
Phoenix Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, becoming a natural barrier between the two major provinces, and there is a fortress built on the fault of the mountain, called Fenghuang Pass, which is a huge fortress that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Lin Shuang led 100,000 wolf soldiers to station in Fenghuang Pass.
In the west of the mountain range, the 200,000 elite troops commanded by Lin Muyu have already camped out, and the flags are unfurled, forming a large area, and the momentum is astonishing, but they can't attack Phoenix Mountain in a short time, and the defenders of Phoenix Mountain dare not act rashly. If so, the Long Dan Battalion may be able to eat up these 100,000 wolf soldiers in just one day.
In the afternoon, with the breeze blowing, Lin Muyu took Wei Chou, Sikong Yao, Situ Sen and others to survey the terrain on the mountains. From a distance, Fenghuangguan was like a giant monster entrenched in the valley, and the height of the fortress was at least 20. Five meters is very scary, and the city walls are all made of hard rocks mined locally, so the strength can be imagined.
"How many magic crystal shells do we have?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Two hundred and twenty pieces." Wei Chou said.
"Do you think more than two hundred magic crystal cannons can blow up this Phoenix pass?" He asked.
"a bit difficult."
Si Kongyao shook her head and said, "Look, brother, the outer wall of Fenghuang Pass has three layers. Our magic crystal cannon can penetrate two layers at most, which is not bad. Moreover, the wolf soldiers are well-trained, good at cavalry shooting, and cavalry assault. Much stronger than Longxi's Black Rock Army."
"yes……"
Lin Muyu looked into the distance, on the open area outside the pass, densely packed wolf soldiers were practicing, horseshoes roared, dust rose into the sky, this time the opponent was indeed very difficult. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
