Li Duan practiced very diligently in the past two days, because before Ruyi left, he was assigned a task.

According to the agreed time, Nanzhou, Yunzhou and other five states should have fallen into her hands now, the 20,000 soldiers led by the governor of Nanzhou, entering Cangzhou, which is a piece of iron barrels, and retreating to attack Wuzhou, can only run around like a motherless child, it is really pitiful, and what is even more pitiful is that they don't know this now......

Li Duan is also quite pitiful, after Ruyi left, he completely let go of himself and neglected to practice, and now that Ruyi is coming back, he knows that he is in a hurry.

Xu Lao led people to the front line last night and burned the enemy's grain and grass, and the people south of Cangzhou City all moved into the north of Cangzhou City, and they couldn't scavenge any food outside.

There are three paths ahead of them.

The first is to return the same way, if the speed is fast, it will take about two days to return to Nanzhou, if you can take Nanzhou back from Miss Liu Er, the food crisis can be solved.

The second is to send some people back to forcibly collect grain, and they wait where they are, waiting for those who will never come back if they go, until they starve to death......

The last way is to give it a go, go all the way, and capture Cangzhou, where the grain is piled up, so they naturally don't have to worry about the food problem.

Wait another half a day at most to know which path they have chosen.

Of course, what Li Yi expects is naturally the second point that there is no need to waste a soldier, a heavenly punishment, or a shell, no matter how great the disparity in strength between the two armies is, once the battle is engaged, casualties on this side are inevitable......

Yang Liuqing has already put on his armor, and he looks a little brave, without losing his heroic spirit.

In the past few years, she has completely transformed from the young girl who would only follow Miss Liu Er in the second year of Jinghe to what she is now, a princess of a country and the lord of a country.

"Uncle Shi." She walked to Li Yi's side and bowed slightly.

This should be the biggest battle she has experienced in her life, Li Yi nodded and asked, "Are you nervous?" ”

She looked up and smiled, "Don't be nervous. ”

Not afraid of danger, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, worthy of being his nephew, with his three-point demeanor......

Yang Liuqing sat opposite him and asked, "After this battle, Uncle Shi is going back, right?" ”

Li Yi nodded, he had told Yang Liuqing before, and when they had completely gained a foothold in this northwest land, he and Ruyi would leave.

After occupying the land of Liuzhou, for a long time in the future, what they need is not to continue to attack, all the way to the imperial capital of Wuguo, but to recuperate, gradually encroach on the outside, and then accumulate strength step by step to gain a firm foothold here.

This time may be a year or two years, and when this stage is over, the next thing is invincible......

Of course, everything changes.

It is possible that in the next period of time, Emperor Wuguo choked to death while eating one day, fell to death while walking, and was stoned to death by a meteorite falling from the sky, so that as the only orthodox person in the royal family of Wuguo, things will be much easier.

Of course, this probability is too small, Emperor Wuguo has now completely turned into a frightened bird, and he can't come out of the palace, and he has to take countless guards and forbidden troops with him everywhere, even if a few grandmasters join forces, he can't help how to ------ Li Yi thought about it carefully, and found that he seemed to have done something stupid.

If he came to conquer Cangzhou in person, Li Yi promised to open the gate of Cangzhou to welcome him......

It's a pity that in this world, there is no regret medicine for sale......

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Li Yi shook his head and said, "Everything that Uncle Shi can do has already been done, and you need to walk the next road by yourself." ”

"My nephew knows." She nodded, looked at Li Yi, and stopped talking, at this moment, a general strode into the courtyard, presented a secret letter, and said loudly: "Your Highness, the enemy army has reached thirty miles outside Cangzhou City!" ”

Thirty miles away from Cangzhou City so quickly, it means that Xu Lao burned not much of their grain yesterday, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Li Yi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead......"

In Cangzhou City, the atmosphere that had been tense for a long time reached its peak at a certain moment.

The people in the city, looking at the columns of soldiers shuttling from the city, couldn't help but mention it in their hearts.

This battle determines how they will survive in the future, and it is closely related to their survival.

Thirty miles.

Fifteen miles.

Ten miles.

Five miles.

Outside Cangzhou City, five miles away.

An adjutant general looked at a thin line in the distance, which was the city wall of Cangzhou Prefecture, approached to the front, and asked, "General Pang, do you want to let the soldiers repair it on the spot first?" ”

They had already traveled for half a day, and the whole army was tired, and it was really unwise to attack the city at this time.

The best situation is for the army to camp and repair overnight when they are thirty miles away from Cangzhou, but their food and grass have been exhausted, and they really can't delay for too long.

"Fix it in place for half an hour." The general nodded and said, "Prepare the siege equipment, and after half an hour, attack the city immediately!" ”

"Order!"

The general turned his horse's head and said loudly: "Fix the spot, and after half an hour, attack the city immediately!" ”

Five miles away, on the city wall of Cangzhou, Chen Qing held a telescope in his hand and muttered, "Why did you stop......?"

General Fan stood beside him, turned his head to look, and asked, "Is the red-coated cannon ready?" ”

A person beside him immediately said: "General Hui, a hundred red-clothed cannons have all been loaded!" ”

General Fan put his mind at ease, thought about it, and said, "Just in case, check again......"

Outside the city, the partial general looked ahead, walked to the main general's side, and asked with some confusion: "General Pang, why haven't they moved at all?" ”

General Pang looked ahead and asked, "How many guards are there in Cangzhou, and do they dare to go out of the city to meet the battle?" ”

The general nodded and said, "General, the time has come." ”

General Pang waved his hand: "Siege!" ”

"Siege!"

"Siege!"

……

The commander gave the order, and the army hurried forward.

Five miles!

Three miles!

Two miles!

When the city wall of Cangzhou was clearly visible, the general's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "General, they haven't left the city yet, and they haven't even pulled up the drawbridge, will there be fraud?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden exclamation in my ears.

"What's that!"

He looked up and saw countless black dots falling on the barracks.

Rumble!

Rumble!

……

Then, there was a loud bang, dirt flying, and wailing everywhere.

Immediately afterward, he couldn't even hear the loud noise, and all that was left was a buzzing in his ears.

In the midst of the formation, the horses neighed, the front hooves were raised, and they were in a mess, and they were rampaged, and the cavalry fell off their horses, and before they could get up, they were trampled......

The entire military formation, in this loud bang, was directly crushed.

The horses neighed in fright, and after each loud bang, dozens of people fell, and the firelight accompanied by a loud noise caught them off guard.

"Heavenly punishment, this is heavenly punishment...... "A partial general looked up, his eyes full of despair.

This is Jingguo's heavenly punishment, no, it is enough to crush their military formation from such a distance, it is heavenly punishment, and there is no such power!

"Retreat, retreat!"

He just shouted, looked down at a long knife passing through his chest, looked at General Pang on the side in disbelief, tilted his head, and lost his breath.

"Disturb the morale of the army, and be killed!"

General Na Pang gritted his teeth and said loudly: "This is a long-distance attack, and when they get under the city wall, they will be helpless!" ”

"Siege!"

With the command of the commander, the army's heart quickly stabilized, and quickly approached the city wall.

The drawbridge under the city had already been pulled up, and they had just approached, and a dense stream of stones and sassholes had fallen down......

The soldiers who approached the city wall threw sandbags into the moat, and pushed the corpses of the dead people around them, and soon they were under the city walls, where they were greeted by rolling stones and sassal wood falling from the sky......

In just two miles, the 20,000-strong army has lost thousands.

However, they can't retreat, they can't capture Cangzhou today, they won't be killed by the enemy, and they will starve to death.

"Ladder! Take the ladder! ”

"Crash, crash keep up!"

"Archers, archers cover!"

……

Looking at the dense crowd under the city wall below, Wei Liang waved his hand, and the black balls were thrown down from the city wall.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A series of deafening noises and cracking fires wiped out all the enemies under the city walls.

General Na Pang stood in the distance, looking at the towering city wall, and his heart fell into the bottomless abyss.
