The sunset is in the west mountains, and the four fields are vast.

After many days of driving, it was really sleepy and tired. Seeing that he had already entered the territory of Changzhou, victory was in sight, or that the battle was imminent, even Deputy General Wu Fengxiang, who had always been strict, felt that he should take a good rest.

Ouyang Kang had no opinion on this, and after finding a suitable water source, he ordered to bury the pot and cook and rest on the spot, but he also sent a team of scouts to investigate the military situation.

When Guan Yaozu heard this, he immediately sat down, and he didn't even have the strength to drink saliva, so he only kicked the butt of the little military doctor next to him, "Set up a tent." ”

"Why am I again?" Sangilli was upset, "Also, I'm not a kid anymore, don't kick my ass." ”

Guan Gongzi flattened his limbs and collapsed, and said scoundrelly, "Then you go cook." ”

"Why?"

"Because you're not a child anymore, you're an adult. I'm a child, so of course adults have to cook for children. ”

"You're a child? Then you call me uncle, and I'll do it for you. ”

Obviously, Master Sang still underestimated the thickness of Guan Xiaoren's face, so he saw that his face did not change, "Uncle Jixiang, hurry up and cook, I'm hungry." ”

This kind of person! Sang Jili vomited blood, picked up the military rations of the two to wash rice and cook, only to wait for a divine thunder to fall from the sky and chop him to pieces.

Finally smelling the smell of rice, Guan Gongzi staggered and got up, sniffed and leaned forward, "Hurry up, I'm going to starve to death!" ”

Ouyang Kang couldn't stand it anymore, and kicked him on the ass, "Are you a little embarrassed?" If you cook a meal that is only good luck in people's small auspiciousness, you will pick up the ready-made. While waiting to go. ”

Guan Gongzi originally wanted to scold, aren't you the same? But in a blink of an eye, I saw Ouyang Kang as if he was playing a trick, and out of nowhere he found a small piece of bacon more than two inches long.

Guan Gongzi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Give it to me!" Good brother, divide me quickly! ”

General Pingxi decisively raised the sharp little dagger and shook it, Guan Gongzi retreated, smiling like a big dog wagging his tail, watching the good brother cut two pieces for Sang Jili, and then handed over the rest to the little soldiers under his account, and said with a lot of money. "Buffalo. I took it and cut it and stewed it for the two of us. ”

The daughter-in-law's love bacon, of course, should be kept for herself.

Guan Gongzi was angry and rushed forward to dig around on him. "How much more do you hide. Hand it over! ”

It's making a fuss. When the scout returned, he was not surprised to see this, but shouted in a hurry. "General, the county lord of Changguo in front has already fought with Ji Longfeng!"

Guan Yaozu didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he quickly got out of the way, Wu Fengxiang got the news over there, and he also threw down his job and came over, "How long has it been fighting?" What is the current state of war? ”

"It's been more than half a month, and today from early morning to evening, the two sides were originally resting, but I didn't expect Ji Longfeng to suddenly attack Changzhou City again, and the fight was very fierce, and Changzhou City was almost unable to hold it!"

So what are you waiting for? Wu Fengxiang immediately said, "All soldiers, immediately put down their jobs and go to the rescue!" ”

"Nope." Ouyang Kang's expression was equally grim, but he asked about the situation of the battle between the two armies, and issued an order, "All the soldiers hurry up and cook the rice and leave after eating." Remember, you must not eat raw sandwiches, otherwise you will have a stomach upset on the battlefield for a while, but no one will hand you straw paper. ”

Wu Fengxiang hurriedly said, "General, what are you eating at this time?" Saving people is like fighting fire, in case the city is lost, we are a felony to delay the warplane! ”

Ouyang Kang shook his head and looked up at the sky again.

The twilight was dull, and the cold wind was rising.

"It's the northwest wind, in the direction of Changzhou City." Sanjili also surrounded him, he grew up on the border since he was a child, and he was extremely sensitive to the direction of the wind and water here.

Ouyang Kang spun around in place and looked at the team behind him.

The quartermaster in charge of logistics, Cui Hao also caught up at this time, "What do you want?" We still have enough food and grass for half a month. ”

Ouyang Kang shook his head, his gaze quickly swept over the supplies around the soldiers, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but be anxious, "What do you think I'm doing?" Hurry up and cook and eat, and soon have serious things to do. Hurry up, hurry up! ”

Wu Fengxiang wanted to say something, but Ouyang Kang turned his face, "Are you General Pingxi or me?" The military order is like a mountain, and I will bear the punishment alone. ”

Well, everyone shut up and hurry up to eat.

The daughter-in-law is right, the sky and the earth are big, and the meal is the biggest. Sharpen the knife and chop wood, and you can't do anything if you don't eat enough.

General Pingxi knew in his heart that the two armies must be tired and hungry after a day of fighting, and their sudden appearance could relieve the siege for a while, but after all, there were only more than 4,000 troops, and there were many recruits who had never been on the battlefield, how effective could it be?

Mr. once said that in times of distress, only surprise can win.

And the title he came to this order, but General Pingxi, if he only cares about self-protection and does not contribute to his work, he is afraid that before he returns to the court, there will be some people with ulterior motives, who will have nothing to do and fall into the ground.

There are some things that Ouyang Kang understands in his heart, but he can't break them. So he quietly rushed to Changzhou all the way, not only to complete the task assigned by the emperor, but also to fight a beautiful battle and win honor for their Pingxi Army.

On that side, on the city of Changzhou.

Everywhere wolf smoke, swords and swords.

"Strategist, go down quickly, it's too dangerous here!"

"No, I can't go. The city is in the people, and if the city is broken, what use will I, the Lord, keep it? Wei Yinian was already covered in blood and his sideburns were messy, but although his eyes were full of red bloodshots, his eyes were as firm as a rock.

"Ji Longfeng won't last long, if we hold on any longer, at most one night, the enemy army will be defeated."

With his encouragement, the already exhausted soldiers seemed to have another motivation. But Wei Yinian knew in his heart that this night, I was afraid that if they had to get through it, it would be extremely difficult.

Although Gao Xiuru was desperately blocking on the periphery, Ji Longfeng still chose a place without mercy and attacked the city gate. Although the casualties in his rear were very large, the casualties of Gao Xiuru's soldiers over there were not light.

Originally, the terrain outside Changzhou City was not conducive to head-to-head confrontation, and Gao Xiuru used surprise tactics before. The fight of small stocks and small stocks has achieved very good results. But now that the situation is reversed, Ji Longfeng has forced her to go head-to-head, and his advantage will be greater.

At this time, Wei Yinian's responsibility to stick to the city is extremely huge. Because only if he delays as much time as possible, can Gao Xiuru's advantages be slowly reflected.

Because Ji Longfeng's most fatal problem is the lack of food and grass, after a long time, he will definitely be defeated. But if he was allowed to attack Changzhou City, the situation would be different.

After such a fierce battle, Gao Xiuru also trapped him to death in the city again. If the imperial court does not have a large number of reinforcements to arrive. Ji Longfeng could have found a way to open a passage. Solve your own supply problem. With the help of a strong city, it slowly consumes with high embroidery.

Wait until the weather is cold and the two sides cannot fight, and then wait until the spring flowers bloom. The southwest will experience the rainy season and muddy. You also have to take care of farming. And Ji Longfeng will be able to breathe, and it will not be easy to clean it up in the future.

So they had to hold on to the city. If he can't hold on, then he must make trouble for Ji Longfeng as much as possible, increase his consumption, and let the main force led by Gao Xiuru be able to defeat him completely.

This is why Gao Xiuru initially decided to stay by herself.

Because of this battle, no matter who stays here, the final result is likely to be extremely tragic.

It was getting dark, but the bloody battle still couldn't stop.

The biting cold wind, everyone doesn't seem to feel it anymore, only knows the numb throwing, fighting.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to be unable to support it, Wei Yinian closed his eyes and made a decision, "Come on, move out the things I asked you to collect before, and go out with me!" ”

Under the city tower, Ouyang Mulan was sweating and leading the few women and children who were left behind, and the lightly wounded were scraping the vegetable oil, lard, and even the tung seed oil that was lit from the oil pot of every household, anyway, no matter what kind of oil, all of them were smeared on the flammable dry cloth strips or dry branches and straw, and tied them into bunches according to Wei Yinian's requirements, and placed them neatly.

Suddenly hearing the news that he was going to fight, Ouyang Mulan was stunned.

With a body like Wei Yinian, can he fight?

At this time, on the periphery of the war, the assembled Pingxi Army was also in full swing preparing for the things ordered by the main general.

"Are you ready?"

"That's it!"

In the darkness, Ouyang Kangpingsu's eyes that were always polite were also dyed with murderous aura, "Listen to my orders, prepare-"

But before he could say a word, he suddenly saw a sudden change in Changzhou City. A large army of men and horses with fire came out of the city, and rushed to the enemy camp without fear of death.

"Oh my God! Is it a death squad? "Many soldiers on the side of the Pingxi Army have exclaimed, has Changzhou City been forced to this?

Ouyang Kang's eyes widened suddenly, and he drew his sword without hesitation and ordered, "Release!" ”

Needless to say, the soldiers here have been inspired by the sacrifice of their comrades over there. They have to be faster, faster, so that they can join the battle faster and save more people!

The wind was howling, and almost no one noticed that on the high ground southeast of Changzhou, someone was flying a kite against the wind.

It's not the kind of kite that children play with, but a huge kite sewn from a tent, with a strange shape, and when a kite is put away, it is enough to be the size of a room, and dozens of kites like this, what kind of shock will it be?

"Smash!"

Visually measuring the distance enough, Ouyang Kangjian pointed down.

Bang! Bang!

With a mighty whistling sound, those huge kites flying high smashed into Ji Longfeng's team like meteorites outside the sky. Everywhere the kite passed, everyone turned on their backs, and then a large fireball exploded, and there were many casualties.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Even Gao Xiuru, who was supervising the battle in front of the phalanx, was shocked, but soon, she heard the sound of the horn blowing from there. It was the code language of the Great Liang army, it was not complicated, and even ordinary soldiers could understand it.

"Reinforcements are coming, it's our reinforcements coming!"

Fat White Potato: Hmph, it's just a broken battle, what's the big deal? If I go, I'll definitely play better than him.
