"Dog thief! General Shaw...... General Xiao, what the hell is wrong with him? Xiao Yan had a pair of red eyes, like an angry lion, gritting his teeth and glaring at Xiao Yuxian in front of him, eager to tear him apart.

Xiao Yuxian grinned and slowly explained: "Hmph, your General Xiao is now besieged in Yuncheng in the northern Xinjiang, there are only 20,000 defenders in the city, Liang Xia's 100,000 allied troops will set foot in Yuncheng sooner or later, as for your General Xiao...... What do you think will happen to him? ”

When Xiao Yan heard this, his body shook suddenly, as if he had thought of Xiao Jingcong's fate, when he struggled again, trying to break free of the iron shackles that bound his hands and feet, but it was only in vain.

"Don't waste your efforts, Xiao Yan, this prince still advises you to surrender, there will be no good end with Xiao Jingcong, and it is still unknown whether Xiao Jingcong can return to the capital this time. You are a talent, this prince doesn't want to bury you, as long as you are willing to surrender to me and help me pacify the capital, he is the prince of Japan and becomes the king of the Great Xiao, you are my general......"

"Phew! Dog thief! Don't dream, Lao Tzu Xiao Yan is dead, and he will never betray his lord for glory, if you want me to serve, do your spring and autumn dreams! Without waiting for Xiao Yuxian to finish speaking, Xiao Yan directly spit on Xiao Yuxian's face, Xiao Yuxian was so angry that his arms trembled, and he raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yan's face fiercely.

"Smack!"

Xiao Yan's eyes were full of gold stars when he was slapped by this heavy slap, and his mouth and nose were bleeding, but he didn't have any fear at all. Xiao Yuxian didn't bother to continue to talk to him, took out a clean handkerchief, wiped the saliva from his face, turned around and walked out of the prison door, and before leaving, he commanded the prison guard.

"Give me a good look! Don't let him die so easily! He's a trump card in my hand, do you hear that? ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you can put ten thousand hearts, the little one must take good care of General Xiao Yan, and he will definitely not let you down." The prison guard immediately said with a flattering face.

Xiao Yuxian nodded, and then walked out of the dungeon......

……

Da Xiao, Cloud City in Northern Xinjiang, City Lord's Mansion.

It is rare for Xiao Jingcong to come back to rest, Yan Zixi prepared a table of meals for Xiao Jingcong, wanting to treat him well, after all, Xiao Jingcong has been in charge of supervising the defense of the city tower all these days, and he has not eaten a good meal.

Yan Zixi lit the candle and waited for Xiao Jingcong's return. This mood is like a modern wife waiting for her husband to come home.

No, they are husband and wife, Yan Zixi is just waiting for her husband to come home!

Just when Yan Zixi was worried about Xiao Jingcong, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, interrupting Yan Zixi's thoughts. Yan Zixi looked up and saw Xiao Jingcong walking in.

"Jing Cong is back!"

Yan Zixi saw that Xiao Jingcong was back, so she hurriedly got up and went over to take the heavy armor on his body, and asked with concern: "Jingcong, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" I've made you some food, how about you try it? After speaking, Yan Zixi took Xiao Jingcong's hand and sat down at the table.

Xiao Jingcong looked down at the table full of food, and couldn't help but smile and praise Yan Zixi, "Xi'er, did you make these yourself?" ”

"Of course, I've been busy for a long time! Let's try it first, it won't taste good when it gets cold later. Yan Zixi was happy while hurriedly picking up chopsticks and putting various dishes in Xiao Jingcong's bowl.

"Well, that's good! Xi'er, your cooking skills have improved a lot! Xiao Jingcong tasted a bite of braised fish, and immediately gave Yan Zixi a thumbs up, not sparing words of praise.

Yan Zixi also became smug, "Haha, that's necessary, I've worked hard to study cooking!" Jingcong, if I have a chance to cook it for you every day in the future, okay? ”

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, the chopsticks in his hand suddenly froze, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

Yan Zixi noticed that Xiao Jingcong's face was not very good-looking, thinking that she had said something wrong or that the dish was very delicious, so she asked again: "Jingcong, what's wrong, did I say something wrong, or is this dish not delicious, you just deliberately made me happy?" ”

"It's not!" Xiao Jingcong saw that Yan Zixi had misunderstood, smiled bitterly, and quickly explained: "Xi'er, it has nothing to do with you, I just heard the news for my husband, Dugu Yunliu, the second prince of Northern Liang, is urgently recruiting troops in Northern Liang, and is planning to besiege our Cloud City." ”

"What? How so? After listening to this, Yan Zixi finally understood what Xiao Jingcong was worried about.

The troops in Dugu Yunliu's hands were insufficient to complete the siege of Yuncheng, and he lost a lot of men and horses in the last battle, so he spent nearly half a month waiting for the opportunity. Originally, according to Li Yuanxiao's strategy, he should cooperate with the outside and cooperate with Dugu Yunliu's current people to win Cloud City. bar

However, Li Yuanxiao changed his mind halfway because of himself, and it seems that he did not fulfill his promise to Dugu Yunliu, and did not open the gate of Cloud City for Beiliang, so this plan was directly shelved.

Dugu Yunliu has a large number of soldiers and horses, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is very serious, so he will definitely not sit idly by, and can only use other methods. Encircling Cloud City was the strategy he was ready to implement.

It's just that what Yan Zixi didn't expect was that Beiliang could still recruit troops and horses, and it seemed that he was ready to break the cauldron and sink the ship, and everything was tied to this battle.

On the other hand, Xiao State, the imperial court is turbulent, the capital is still unwilling to send reinforcements, and the forces of all parties in the north are also fighting openly and secretly, and the current less than 30,000 defenders in Yuncheng are afraid that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Liangxia coalition army this time, and it is not surprising that Xiao Jingcong is worried about this.

Yan Zixi didn't know how to comfort Xiao Jingcong, but gently hugged him from behind, and muttered: "Jingcong, no matter what happens, I will be by your side......"

"Xi'er ......"

……

On the third day of August in the twenty-seventh year of the Great Xiao Dynasty, the second prince of Northern Liang and the commander of the Liangxia coalition army, Dugu Yunliu, completed the emergency conscription from Northern Liang, and a total of 70,000 recruits were recruited, plus the previous 80,000 horses, a total of 150,000 troops set off from the garrison and killed Yuncheng again.

This time, Liang Xialian's army had sufficient troops, so Dugu Yunliu took the advice of his old generals and completed the siege of Yuncheng, and it was bound to completely capture Yuncheng within three days.

Dugu Yunliu personally led his guards cavalry Yuncheng's city to set up a formation, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Dugu Yunliu was wearing a silver-white armor representing the highest honor of the Beiliang Ice and Snow Empire at this moment, riding on the war horse that had followed him for many years, looking at the towering cloud city in front of him, the reins in his hand were tightly gripped, he knew that today was the time to fight to the death.

The only thing that Dugu Yunliu was a little concerned about was that Prince Yuanxia had completely lost his voice since he lurked in Cloud City half a month ago, and now he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Originally, according to his plan, it was easy for Li Ying and Wai to take Yuncheng, but now that he had lost contact, Lonely Yunliu had to temporarily recruit troops and horses from China, and he was bound to take Yuncheng in one fell swoop and defeat Xiao Jingcong.

Even without the help of Prince Yuanxia, Lonely Yunliu was confident that with the 150,000 horses in his hands, he would be able to defeat this Cloud City, which had less than 30,000 defenders.

Just as Dugu Yunliu was pondering, the old general Chen of the Northern Liang came up and said to Dugu Yunliu: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Qiqi, our army has completed the encirclement of Yuncheng, and we can attack at any time!" ”

When Dugu Yunliu heard this, he nodded slightly, his face expressionless, and he looked at the cloud city not far away.

This fortified city, which has stood in the north for many years, can it really be taken in one fell swoop today? Where is the peerless general who shocked the battlefield now?

Dugu Yunliu couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart, thinking that he might be about to establish a great cause for a thousand years, even he couldn't help but feel excited and excited. This is how many days and nights of dreams, Beiliang has waited too long until today. This battle is even more of a gamble on the entire national fortune of Beiliang, and it must not be lost!

As long as Yuncheng is taken, the Northern Liang army will be able to take the capital of Daxiao in the south, completely subverting the situation in the whole world!

Dugu Yunliu's hand holding the reins also trembled slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly, and then Dugu Yunliu turned his head and said to Old General Chen flatly: "Okay, let's start attacking the city!" ”

"Yes!" General Chen clenched his fists in response, and then turned his horse's head back to arrange the preparations.

……

Above the Cloud City Tower.

Xiao Jingcong stood on the city tower in armor, looking down at the dense gathering of Liang Xia soldiers like ant colonies under Cloud City, without any expression on his face.

It seems that the heavy and nervous breathing of his soldiers can be heard in his ears, Li Hui, Sun Li, Bai Qian, Mo Feng...... Whether it was the general or his own guards, each of them seemed to be a little nervous at this moment, not to mention the ordinary soldiers stationed in Cloud City.

No one could have predicted what the outcome of this battle would be, and no one knew what would happen to them. But everyone knows that this battle is inevitable today and must be fought. Because they retreated, and behind them was their homeland, so they couldn't retreat.

Xiao Jingcong took a deep breath and let the wind that had gradually entered autumn blow through the city tower, blow across his cheeks, and blow a sense of slaughter.

He and the other soldiers of Yuncheng all noticed that the Liangxia coalition army surrounded Yuncheng on three sides, leaving only the direction to the south of Yuncheng near the Yunshan Mountain Range and did not choose to encircle, after all, there were towering mountains on that side, and it was difficult for the army to transfer them, so it was basically impossible to surround them. Take 10,000 steps back and say, the other party has no intention of besieging the entire Cloud City to death at all.
