Jiang Long was defeated and wanted to kill himself with a sword, but was dissuaded by the generals, and one of the partial generals said:

"For today's plan, Jiang Shuai can only lead our army to hold Cangzhou, so that the Feng army cannot enter Yandi for a single step, so that he can atone for his sins, so that he can explain to the king, and ask for domestic military support."

"Yes, Jiang Shuai, if you cut yourself off here, then Cangzhou will definitely not be protected, and at that time, Jiang Shuai will not only be guilty of defeat, but also have the responsibility of losing the city, and he will definitely bear the infamy of the whole country." There is another bias.

Hearing these words, Jiang Long calmed down, he slowly removed the war sword from his neck, and said, "That's right, it's too cowardly to die like this!" Ben Shuai can't die now! Otherwise, wouldn't it be tantamount to giving Cangzhou to the land thieves! ”

Seeing that he no longer killed himself, all the prejudices were relieved, Jiang Long suddenly remembered his younger brother Jiang Hu, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "My brother Jiang Hu led my 30,000 soldiers to voluntarily stay behind, and won time for our army to return to Cangzhou, but I don't know what the situation is now, hey......"

Pan Yong moved the corners of his mouth, and said cautiously: "Jiang Shuai, there are 400,000 people in the Feng army, and General Jiang Hu only led 30,000 troops to break off, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it is now more auspicious ......and less auspicious."

"Impossible!" Jiang Long's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "My brother Jiang Hu is a tiger general in the world, and he has the courage of ten thousand people!" How can you die so easily! He's going to fight his way out! ”

Hearing this, Pan Yong was just about to say something more, but it could be seen that the other generals were looking at him, signaling him not to say more, and another general echoed Jiang Long and said: "Yes, General Jiang Hu is brave and invincible, and he will definitely be safe!" ”

Let's hope so! Pan Yong pursed his lips secretly. All the generals of the Yan army thought that Jiang Hu was dead, but Jiang Long always thought that Jiang Hu would definitely fight his way out of the encirclement, and as a result, he was really right!

The next morning, outside Cangzhou City, Jiang Hu, who was riding alone, was lying on his horseback, covered in blood, and with the only remaining strength, he shouted weakly to the Yan soldiers at the head of the city: "Hurry up...... Open the gates of the city and welcome me into the city......"

"Who are you!?" He was covered in bloodstains, how could the Yan soldiers recognize him, if it weren't for him alone, I'm afraid the Yan army would have released the arrows a long time ago.

"I am...... I am the vanguard general Jiang Hu......" Jiang Hu used his last strength, and after saying this, he tilted his body, fell from the warhorse, fell to the ground, and fainted on the spot.

"Huh!? It's General Jiang Hu! Fast! Open the gates of the city ......"

In Cangzhou City, Jiang Hu was lying on the bed shirtless, the military doctor was bandaging his wounds, and Jiang Long, who rushed over after receiving the news, was nervously asking at this time: "How is he?" Is it life-threatening!? ”

The military doctor replied: "Back to Jiang Shuai, General Jiang Hu is fine, but there are too many wounds all over his body, coupled with overwork, so he passed out." ”

"Ah, thank you, thank you." Hearing this, Jiang Long's heart finally fell, and he said excitedly: "Heaven bless, fortunately my brother is safe, otherwise, what face do I have to go back to see my mother at home......

Jiang Hu's return, although he was seriously injured, gave Jiang Long confidence again, and he decided to stick to Cangzhou and fight a life-and-death offensive and defensive battle with the Feng army in Cangzhou! Waiting for reinforcements to arrive!

Two days later, the Feng army came to the city of Cangzhou, and at the same time, Jiang Long's letter asking for help was also sent to Yandu.

The Wind Army's side.

Looking at the old city of Cangzhou, which was not too big or small, Lu Chen immediately ordered a tentative attack on Cangzhou, but it was fiercely resisted by the Yan army.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the Feng army Mingjin withdrew its troops, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Chen sat on the handsome case and said: "400,000 Yan troops, more than half of them are lost, at this time, the remnants of the city defense will be desperately defended to Cangzhou, and the fierce resistance of the Yan army today is also expected." ”

As he spoke, he sighed slightly: "Originally, we could have defeated the 400,000 Yan army in one fell swoop, but because of a Jiang Hu, the remnants of the Yan army fled back to Cangzhou, which is really hateful!" ”

Xiao Wang arched his hand and said: "King, now that the Yan army is resisting fiercely, it wants to attack Cangzhou, if it is a hard fight, I am afraid it will be a vicious battle!" I have to think of a safe way. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded, looked around at the generals and said, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Su Muzhi thought for a while and said: "Cangzhou, the old city of the original Zhangguo, can not be defended for a long time, our army can adopt the tactics of recovering Hedong at the beginning, and use the catapult to bombard indiscriminately, destroy its city defense, and then attack the city." ”

"But in a hurry, where can I find so many stone bullets?" Zhao Chuan continued.

"Then let the soldiers go up the mountain to collect." Lu Chen said: "The order goes down, our army rests for three days, and the soldiers go up the mountain to collect stone bullets for siege purposes, and after three days, they will start to attack Cangzhou!" ”

"No!" All the generals answered in unison.

Three days later, the Fengjun stone bombs were collected sufficiently, and one after another large stone throwing machines were pushed to the city pass, and began to face Cangzhou, launching rounds of indiscriminate bombardment!

At the same time, Jiang Long's letter asking for help also reached the court of the Yan king.

In the court, after reading Jiang Long's letter, Zhao Jin was furious, and he took the case on the spot, and said angrily in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty: "Jiang Long, this waste!" Before setting out on the expedition, he also assured the king that he would defeat the wind army in one fell swoop this time, but how long has it been! He actually lost more than 200,000 soldiers of our Yan army! Now he still has the face to ask this king for reinforcements! How unreasonable! ”

The king was angry, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and Prime Minister Li Zhao secretly swallowed his saliva, and cautiously came out and said: "King, since Jianglong has been defeated, for the sake of today's plan, he should be ordered to stick to Cangzhou, and must not let the wind army step into the territory of our country, once Cangzhou is broken, the wind army will be like a bamboo, and it is bound to connect several cities in our country!" ”

"In addition, after this battle, it can be proved that Jiang Long is far from being the opponent of the Wind King, why doesn't the king let Qin Mu try it, perhaps, with Qin Mu's military talent, he can turn the whole situation around, maybe ......"

"Qin Mu?" Zhao Jin frowned, and said coldly: "It's okay not to mention him!" As soon as he was mentioned, the king was angry! Don't say you don't know, it's this Qin Mu! Before our Yan army set out, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, shouting that my Yan army would be defeated, and messed with our army's heart! If it weren't for his past exploits, this king would have killed him a long time ago! Now, he's on death row! ”

Li Zhao said: "The Great King has ever thought like this, why did Qin Mu say such things before the Yan army set out on the expedition, did he really just want to die?" Wei Chen thought that it was precisely because Qin Mu knew that Jiang Long was not the opponent of the Feng Army, so he made this decision, King, doesn't this also show that Qin Mu's military vision is very comparable......
