Chapter 934 Oolong Bureau

Chapter 936

The war broke out on the day of Jing Zhe.

At that time, neither Li Xingzai nor Ye Yuanhuo were fully prepared. The fact that the war came so quickly was beyond the expectations of both parties.

Because this is an Oolong incident in itself.

Li Xingzai placed a lot of troops in Luofengcheng, thinking that he would use the method of encircling points to fight to eliminate as much of the fighting force of the Rong tribe as possible.

Both sides sent spies to patrol the vicinity of Luofeng City. On this day, the patrols of both sides met in the field. It is inevitable to start a war, and it is also a matter of course for Jiangnan soldiers to be defeated.

The first time they fought, they were defeated, and the defeated soldiers fled back to Luofeng City in a panic.

Faced with the situation in front of him, Li Xingzai's nerves were naturally tense, and he was staring at the enemy's movements. Once the enemy has a change, it must be reported immediately.

The guard of Luofeng City did not dare to be negligent, and immediately reported to Li Xingzai.

Li Xingzai was taken aback when he found out, the Rong clan called so quickly, why was Ye Yuanhuo so impatient.

But the enemy had already attacked, and Li Xingzai couldn't help but react. The defense line was mobilized along the river, from a defensive posture to an offensive posture.

Ye Yuanhuo also stared at Li Xingzai's movements. The front line reported that Li Xingzai had moved troops and horses. He was also shocked when he got the news.

I'm not ready yet, you are going to fight, is Li Xingzai so belligerent?

Both sides have the same mentality, and Ye Yuanhuo immediately mobilized his troops accordingly.

When Li Xingzai saw it, the frontline battle report was true, and Ye Yuanhuo was about to go to war.

At almost the same time, the two sides issued the "Book of Thieves" to the world, calling on the princes of the world to unite with their own parties.

Before the situation is clear, everyone dare not stand in line easily. However, when the news spread, all the princes, including Cheng Dalei, were taken aback.

Everyone knew that war was bound to break out, but no one thought it would come so quickly. Li Xingzai and Ye Yuanhuo couldn't wait like this, what did they prepare for this war?

In fact, neither Ye Yuanhuo nor Li Xingzai were actually ready.

When the war broke out in full, no one can remember why the war started.

A steady stream of battle reports spread to Liangzhou, and Cheng Dalei classified them into categories and analyzed the situation in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. This is a battle with unknown outcome. Once the war starts, the situation becomes more complicated. Everyone, including Cheng Dalei, is completely invisible now.

Of course, the burden is not on Cheng Dalei's shoulders, and Cheng Dalei doesn't need to worry too much. The people who are really worried now are Li Xingzai and Nohara Huo.

However, Cheng Dalei did not do anything. When the war broke out, Cheng Dalei responded immediately.

They dispatched troops to Sanshui Pass and captured Runan City within ten days.

After so long in Liangzhou, Cheng Dalei finally took the first step bravely. After that, there was no movement, no troops were dispatched, and there was a race against time to build a food route, so that the food and grass in Liangzhou could reach Runan City within three days.

However, Cheng Dalei's actions did pour cold water on the raging war along the river and eased the rhythm of the war a little. Li Xingzai also took his time and prepared a strong soldier to deal with the wildfire.

Li Xingzai can be said to be overwhelmed now. He is sitting in Yangzhou City, and battle reports are constantly coming from the front line, which is not good news. The Jiangnan Army fought against the Rong tribe, not to mention ten defeats in ten battles, after all, they lost more and won less.

According to this trend, he is not qualified to wrestle with Nohara Fire at all, and he will lose in the end.

The civil officials and military generals of Yangzhou City gathered together to discuss the current battle situation. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Li Xingzai, the Rong clan kept advancing, and it was estimated that the Battle of Crossing the River would be launched soon.

With the natural danger of the great river, it seems that it cannot stop the strong soldiers of the Rong tribe. If they were beaten to Jiangnan, what would they do to resist.

Fortunately, Cheng Dalei was finally willing to send troops at this time. The Rong tribe had to allocate a part of their troops to guard against the northwest, so that Cheng Dalei's head would not go crazy.

This eased the tension in Jiangnan, but the distant thirst could not be quenched, and many problems still had to be solved by Li Xingzai himself. Everyone gathered together to discuss, but there was no practical way to discuss it.

Now Li Xingzai misses Chu Yunsheng very much, Chu Yunsheng can make good decisions, he must have his own way to face such a situation.

It was a pity that Chu Yunsheng had already died while attacking Yangzhou City. Li Xingzai had no shortage of advisers, but there was still a certain gap between him and Chu Yunsheng.

Many things had to be done by Li Xingzai himself.

After much deliberation, Li Xingzai made an incredible decision: he was going to lead the army to fight across the river.

Such a decision was naturally unanimously opposed by everyone, and everyone gathered together, hoping to change Li Xingzai's decision.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Qi Jiguang took the lead and said: "The Rong family is known as the unparalleled field battle, after all, it is not a false statement. To deal with the Rong family cavalry, we can only defend according to the danger and consume their food, grass and men. We will even introduce them to the south of the Yangtze River and use the fact that the Rong tribe cannot fight with water to defeat them."

Everyone, you say everything I say, and you probably mean the same thing. When everyone had finished speaking what was in their hearts, Li Xingzai waved his hand and suppressed the chatter.

"I have heard all of you, and I understand the reasoning." Li Xingzai said, "But if you are defending the city, why didn't the lords of the northern land do this, but what happened? In less than a year, they were swept away by the Rong clan. Northland. The mistakes they made, we must never make again."

"But if it's a field battle, our army has no chance of winning." Song You channel.

Li Xingzai did not deny this, and said, "Everyone, what are we fighting in this battle?"

Everyone was silent and looked at Li Xingzai.

Li Xingzai continued: "I am the descendants of the Li family, and you are the people of the empire. Now half of the empire has fallen, and the people of the north are living in dire straits. In this battle, we don't want to lose, we want to win. We must Completely defeat the Rong clan and bring back the lost face of the empire."

"Everyone in the northern region is looking forward to our fight. The Rong tribe is known as a million soldiers and horses. How many of them are the empires surrendering?" Li Xingzai said slowly: "This battle is not about the gain or loss of one city and one place, we are fighting for people's hearts and minds. Therefore, we cannot passively defend, we must take the initiative to attack. As long as one victory, the princes of the world will be able to respond, and when the time comes, there will be a hundred responses, and the Rong family will not be a worry.”

This method, Li Xingzai, was indeed after careful consideration, and was not decided with a slap on the forehead. People such as Qi Jiguang may not agree with Li Xingzai's views, but Li Xingzai insisted on going his own way, and everyone had to let it go.
