The three Yang Yueling sisters and brothers led 20,000 troops to ambush the troops sent by Zhaoqingcheng to Jiaozhou for rescue. The team leaders Duan Xiu and Duan Yao were killed by Yang Yueling, and most of the 20,000 troops under his subordinates were also wiped out by the ambush, leaving only three or five hundred people to flee back to Zhaoqing City.

After Duan Beishan learned the news that the reinforcements had been ambushed and almost all of them were annihilated, he was shocked, and heard the remnants of the soldiers who fled back say that his two nephews were also killed by the enemy generals, and he was even more resentful.

Although he is a distant relative, he is also his subordinate general, and as soon as Duan Xiu and Duan Yao died, he seemed to be missing his right-hand man.

The soldier who came from Jiaozhou City to deliver the letter to him has long since disappeared, and it is not known whether he died on the battlefield or secretly escaped.

Although Duan Beishan was sad and angry at this time, he was helpless, there were still 30,000 soldiers in the city, he didn't know whether he should send rescuers to support Jiaozhou City, and he didn't know what the situation in Jiaozhou City was at this time.

After thinking about it, Duan Beishan still decided not to send rescue troops for the time being, so as not to be ambushed by the enemy again. It's better to send one of your henchmen to Jiaozhou City to inquire about the situation, and then make a decision, and at the same time report the situation on your side to the King of Jiaozhou.

On the side of Jiaozhou City, after the Yue brothers commanded the soldiers to fire several rounds of crossbows and spear crossbows, they saw that the king of Jiaozhou did not open the city gate to meet his side, so he ordered to temporarily withdraw the army. After all, the spears and crossbows fired by the ballista are not endless, and they also need to be used sparingly.

Ten miles away from Jiaozhou City, the Yue brothers ordered to set up camp and sent people to report the situation to Xiao Ding in Xiguan City, and at the same time waited for Xiao Ding's next arrangement.

After ambushing Duan Xiu and Duan Yao's troops, Yang Yueling's troops returned directly to Xiguan City after cleaning up the battlefield.

Xiao Ding was also very surprised when he learned that Yang Yueling had killed Duan Xiu and Duan Yao, two generals of Dali. This is an unplanned bonus.

The generals of Dali died because of supporting the king of Jiaozhou, even if the emperor of Dali did not hold the king of Jiaozhou responsible, but next time he would definitely not be willing to send troops to help him.

Xiao Ding immediately sent someone to send the heads of Duan Xiu and Duan Yao to Jiaozhou. This kind of thing of giving away people's heads, Xiao Ding likes to do it the most, and he can be angry with the king of the state, and he can extinguish the other party's sharpness. If the king of Jiaozhou is dizzy in a hurry and makes an irrational decision, it will be even more what he wants to see.

At this time, the people sent by the Yue brothers to report the battle situation to Xiao Ding also arrived in Xiguan City. Xiao Ding nodded after listening to the report, and then asked the man to go back and tell the Yue family brothers that the feint to continue to attack Jiaozhou City tomorrow morning would be the same as today.

After the person who came back to report agreed, he left Xiguan City.

At this time, Yang Yueling came up and said, "Cockroach crawling deputy marshal, don't you want to continue to block the road tomorrow and intercept the army of Zhaoqingcheng?" ”

Xiao Ding laughed and said: "You guessed right, now Jiaozhou City and Zhaoqing City each have 30,000 troops, and we still use the previous strategy of attacking this point to send reinforcements, attack one point of them, and then set up an ambush to intercept their reinforcements, force their forces to disperse, and then be wiped out by us." ”

"Attack the point and send reinforcements?" Yang Yueling asked suspiciously.

"Yes, attacking the point to send reinforcements, this is the evolution of the strategy of encircling the point of reinforcement, which is to encircle a city of the opponent and then ambush the reinforcements that the other side comes to the rescue. The strategy we are using today is to attack the point and send reinforcements, attack an important city of the opponent, and also intercept and kill the reinforcements sent by the opponent's other cities. The goal is not to siege the city, but to destroy reinforcements. Xiao Ding explained.

"But, after they were fooled once today, will they continue to be fooled tomorrow?" Yang Yueling asked worriedly.

"Yes, as long as we go to attack Jiaozhou, Zhaoqing City will definitely come to the rescue." Xiao Ding said confidently.

————————

In Jiaozhou City, in the palace hall, the king of Jiaozhou looked at the two heads placed in the tray in front of him, and his brows wrinkled together.

There was also a soldier kneeling down from Zhaoqing City, who was sent by Duan Beishan to inquire about the situation and report to the king of Jiaozhou about the annihilation of the reinforcements.

"You bring these two heads back to Zhaoqing City! Tell your generals to bury them ceremoniously, they died for me, and I will help them avenge this revenge. The king of Jiaozhou said to the kneeling soldiers below. His voice was low and his expression was a little gloomy.

In just a few days, he not only lost the Xiguan City he relied on before, but also killed tens of thousands of troops by the other party. How could the king of Jiaozhou not be angry in his heart?

The method of echoing the three cities that he has been relying on is easily broken by the other party. Now the two cities he relies on echo and are also used by the other party, which makes him feel a sense of powerlessness. There is a feeling that no matter what you do, the other party will come up with a way to crack it.

This is like the next game of chess, the number of paths on your side has already been clearly figured out by the opponent, and the opponent has already figured out how to crack his own chess moves, just waiting for himself to step into the opponent's trap.

At this time, he felt extremely desperate. He couldn't think of any way to deal with the opposing troops.

Offensive? Can't beat it. The 70,000 troops of the Great Southern Barbarian Kingdom were almost wiped out, and now they only have 30,000 troops in Jiaozhou, how dare they take the initiative to attack?

Defend? Can it be prevented? The crossbow arrows used by the other party, he has seen today, such a powerful spear and crossbow are unstoppable. How can you defend the city?

Before, he was full of confidence in inviting Youyangzi, the senior brother of Youyingzi, to come out of the mountain to assist him, but now it seems that if he doesn't wait for Youyingzi to invite Youyangzi, it seems that his Jiaozhou City will not be able to be saved. How can this be?

Song Yuanyan summoned all the generals in Jiaozhou City to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy. None of them were able to come up with a workable plan.

That night, Song Yuanyan lay in bed and couldn't sleep at night. When he woke up the next day, the attendant found that Song Yuanyan seemed to be a teenager overnight, and his hair was black before, but this night, Song Yuanyan's hair was already gray.

"Lord Wang, you have to take care of your body!" The attendant persuaded with concern.

Song Yuanyan smiled miserably and said, "I don't know this Jiaozhou Palace, I can live here for a few more days!" ”

Just after breakfast, the guards at the head of the city came again to report: "Lord Qiqi, the enemy army is attacking the city again!" ”

When Song Yuanyan heard this, the chopsticks almost fell on the table. Yesterday, the opponent fired several rounds of spears and crossbows, and he had already damaged thousands of defenders. If this continues, they don't have to attack, and they can consume all the defenders in the city by firing a few rounds of powerful spears and crossbows every day.

From this point of view, it is only a matter of time before this Jiaozhou City is defeated.

Song Yan calmed down and asked, "How many troops are there who came to attack the city today?" ”

"Back to the prince, it seems that there are more than 10,000 people than yesterday!" The guard replied.

Song Yuyan trembled again, the other party increased his troops, it seems that he is going to move seriously today! He hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to Zhaoqing City, and let General Duan quickly send reinforcements to come to the rescue!" ”

"Yes!" The guard said yes and turned to go down.

Song Yuanyan was still thinking about it, yesterday the other party was 20,000 people attacking the city, and today there are 10,000 more, and the strength of the army is already equal to the strength of the defenders in the city, so can this Jiaozhou City be able to hold it today?
