September 27, Huiji.

It has been seven days since the establishment of the Tiance Army, and it has been seven days since Sima Daozi's coalition army attacked Huiji. The war was in full swing, and both newly formed armies were rapidly grinding and growing.

Outside Huiji City, Feng should be standing on a small slope, and the sky was still bright at this time. He looked at the blood-stained wall of Huiji, and his face was grim.

"The prince has an order, within today, we must break through the Huiji, and we can't delay it any longer."

Sima Daozi and a group of commanders from nearby military towns went to the front line to see in person on the first day, and then hid in the back camp every day to drink and have fun, and handed over the siege to Feng Gai.

Feng should be happy to do so, without those nobles who don't know anything about war, he can also play better.

After seven days of fighting, the 30,000 or 40,000 coalition troops have only less than 20,000 left, and the Tiance army in the city has also suffered heavy losses, and Feng Gaihastily estimated that the casualties of the Tiance army should have exceeded 10,000. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the number of the coalition army is only about twice that of the Tiance army, and the defending side of the battle is not advantageous, not to mention the lack of run-in of the coalition army.

But fortunately, Feng Gai had already discovered that this so-called Tiance Army was actually the 20,000 Jin Army that had been stationed in Huiji before. These newly surrendered soldiers were already demoralized, and the Qin generals in Huiji City were worried that they would defect from the battle, so they forcibly disrupted and reorganized the establishment, and installed Qin soldiers to replace these grassroots generals who surrendered, resulting in a lack of run-in in this army compared to the coalition army, and the combat power was too low to be lower.

Because of this, during the seven-day siege, the coalition forces have gradually gained the upper hand. Sima Daozi was afraid that Qin Bing would die at the beginning, but now that he saw that his side had the advantage, he began to become very happy again. When he went out to battle today, he ordered Feng Gai to ask the coalition forces to break through Huiji today.

When the first rays of morning light fell, the black-pressed coalition forces began to gradually advance towards the tall walls of Huiji. The process is the same as in the past seven days, except that the army is much more neat, and war is the best run-in agent for the army, but the price is greater.

At this time, Pei Shengqin and Shi Yue had also climbed to the head of Huiji City, ready to meet the enemy. After paying 15,000 casualties, the 5,000 Heavenly Ce Army that is still alive now has a bit of an elite atmosphere.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, and according to the current situation, it is obvious that the coalition forces will not be able to stop if we continue to do so. Fortunately, today Wang Mazhi came with news that the ship has been built!

Since the coalition began to attack, Yong Jianlan needed to lead the troops to defend the city, and the supervision was handed over to Wang Mazhi. This person is also very thoughtful, knows that the situation is stronger than people, and has always behaved in a proper manner, and has never messed up.

"The general and the generals are already arranging to board the ship, it will take two hours, and we can evacuate until noon." Shi Yue attached himself to Pei Shengqin's ear and said softly.

Pei Shengqin understood and nodded slightly.

The ship was built, but it was not said that it could be walked, in line with the principle of proximity, the garrison of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Huiji was basically a native of Huiji. Their families are also in the city, and only by bringing their family members can they serve the former Qin with peace of mind.

Originally, in a hurry, Pei Shengqin didn't think of this, but fortunately, just in case, he ordered to build a sea ship that could hold 30,000 people. In addition, the Tiance Army has reduced its strength to 5,000 people, and it is not a big problem to install the family members of these 5,000 people.

As for the families of the soldiers of the Tiance Army who died in the battle, Pei Shengqin could only scatter the gold and silver in the treasury of the Huiji Mansion and issue them a bereavement pension. If you want to come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to recover Huiji, you will not raise a butcher's knife against your own people. It's not that I don't want to take them away, it's just that there are too many people and few boats, and I have no heart, so it's really difficult to take all the families of 20,000 people away.

Pei Yuanluo and the rest of the people were arranging for the surrendered gentry and the family members of the Tiance army, as well as the four thousand Tiance troops to board the ship separately, and at the same time, they also needed to carry sufficient grain and grass and other necessary materials to the ship.

Pei Shengqin and Shi Yue only led a thousand men to defend the city, and the goal of the two was to hold out until noon, and then immediately lead their troops to withdraw to the sea. Pei Yuanluo would stay at the beach until they met and boarded the ship, and then left the sea together.

The horn whimpered, and the coalition army arrived under the city walls and began to siege the city, and the sound of fighting shook the sky.

"Rolling wood, gravel, put. Gold juice ready! ”

Shi Yue calmly commanded the Tiance Army to counterattack, and Pei Shengqin silently learned and memorized Shi Yue's command style. The Tiance soldiers have long been accustomed to it, and they calmly counterattacked. In the face of a first-class general like Feng Gai, it is fortunate that there is a Shi Yue on the side of the Tiance Army, otherwise it would be really difficult to resist.

Pei Shengqin is also growing, these days bathed in blood and fire, Pei Shengqin has greatly improved both courage and courage, occasionally coalition soldiers climb the city, Pei Shengqin will even kill one or two people.

Pei Shengqin looked at Feng Gai, who had a clear and hateful face outside, and couldn't help asking, "Is Uncle Shi good at archery?"

Shi Yue was stunned: "Why did Childe ask?" ”

"Use a bow and arrow, shoot Feng Gai!" Pei Shengqin's eyes sharpened, Feng should be a great threat to Qianqin, if he can solve it, he must not be soft!

Shi Yue shook his head and said, "Feng Gai seems to be standing not far away, but he is just stuck outside a stone's throw and is difficult to shoot."

Pei Shengqin had no choice but to give up, thinking that if he could imitate the eight-bull crossbow of the later generations, he would definitely be able to surprise the enemy general when attacking the city.

Two hours later, today's coalition offensive was extremely fierce, and only a thousand defenders remained on the walls. At this time, the soldiers of the Tiance Army defending the city were already on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, at this time, the coalition forces temporarily retreated, and the besieging side consumed more physical strength than the defending side. Although the morale of the coalition forces is now high, it cannot change the fact that the physical strength is empty. At noon, it was necessary to retreat to bury the pot and make rice, and it took lunch to have the strength to continue the siege.

Seeing that the coalition forces were temporarily retreating, Pei Sheng and Qin Chaoshi Yue made a look, and the two quickly gathered the remaining soldiers of the Tiance Army and filled the city tower with fierce fire oil.

"Uncle Shi, are you sure that the people near this city wall have been moved?" Pei Shengqin confirmed again.

Shi Yue nodded firmly: "Childe, rest assured, the people within a mile of this city wall have already arranged to move out, and a separation zone has been set up. This fire will only block the Southern Barbarian Coalition Army, and will never hurt the people. ”

The plan was proposed by Shi Yue, by burning this city wall, to prevent the coalition forces from breaking through the city and pursuing, so as to ensure that Pei Shengqin's troops could have enough time to withdraw from Huiji and arrive at the sea to board the ship.

After getting ready, Pei Shengqin immediately led people to remove the city tower, and before leaving, he threw a bright torch at the city tower covered with fire oil......

Feng should have gotten the news during the meal, when he and the coalition generals were chatting while eating, and said that the Qin army defending the city today was very small, and the enemy did not seem to be doing their best.

"Report, General Feng, it's going to be burning!" The scout arrived, panting and reporting.

"What! How did the meeting ignite? Feng asked in surprise.

"It's the Qin army, the Qin army left the city wall, and then set it on fire."

"It's not good, the Qin army wants to escape!" What kind of person Feng should be, he figured it out in an instant, and immediately ordered: "Inform all battalions, don't eat, hurry up and break through Huiji, and pursue the Qin army!"

So the coalition army dragged their tired bodies to the city and began to extinguish the fire, and it took several hours for the burning walls to be barely extinguished. By the time the fire was extinguished and the coalition forces had finally entered the meeting with no soldiers, the sky was already dark.

Huiji is near the sea, and the salty and cool sea breeze washes everyone's body with autumn. After guarding the city all morning, he immediately fled from the city to the sea on horseback, and Pei Shengqin's soldiers were exhausted. At this time, I felt the gentle sea breeze, and I was shocked.

Nine large ships laden with men are silently adrift in the sea, waiting for the official departure. The other one was moored at the shore, with plenty of space on it, and Pei Yuanluo was looking out at the shore on this ship.

"Father!"

Pei Shengqin beckoned towards Pei Yuanluo from afar.

In order to prevent the coalition forces from discovering the details of this Tiance army, Pei Yuanluo, who is more famous, has never been on the city tower. These days, every day Pei Shengqin went to the city tower to command and guard, Pei Yuanluo would secretly worry in the general's mansion, for fear that the sword would hurt his child without eyes, and it was the same today. Seeing Pei Shengqin's safe return, Pei Yuanluo was already in tears, and said happily: "Okay, good, it's good that my son is safe!"

Soon after, ten ships set sail and returned with a full load.

That night, Feng Gai, who had been delayed for a long time, finally pursued to the beach, and the seaside was empty except for the exhausted and tired coalition pursuers. Looking at the calm sea, Feng Gai's face was pale.
