After the Xian army entered the city, the capital of the rebel army in the east of the city without grain and the capital of the city gate to sit on the ground was gone, and there were only three ways left, either to withdraw from the city and flee, or to cooperate with the rebel army in the south and west of the city, and continue to resist stubbornly, or surrender.

Considering that his greed is undiminished, Bai Liyan will eventually accept the blackmail of the rebels in the east of the city, but will never accept the blackmail of the rebels in the south and west of the city, and the south and west of the city will force them to surrender by force.

"Ben Shuai has already said clearly enough, with General Zhou's intelligence, it should not be difficult to think that this is the least costly method at the moment. Of course, if you accept the blackmail of the rebels in the south and west of the city, you don't need to die, but our Xianguo will pay at least tens of thousands of more silver, and at the same time, we must guard against their rebellion at any time in the future and feed their greed, which is more than worth the loss. ”

"Sure enough, you're still a step ahead, and I wouldn't have anything to say."

"Then please ask General Zhou and General Fang to change defenses with our army in two days, and the two of them can still keep all the soldiers and horses and generals of the headquarters, and our army will immediately treat the wounded and wounded of your army. The sky is about to dawn, and the marshal will take his leave first. ”

"Wait!"

Zhou Kong shouted, and Bai Liyan asked:

"What else does General Zhou have to ask?"

"Where is the Heavenly King's Divine Power Army?"

Bailiyan was vigilant:

"General Zhou has now surrendered our army, don't you still want to go to the supernatural powers."

"Ben will be a man of his word, and it is shameful to be capricious!"

Zhou Kong said hard, Bai Liyan still didn't understand what he meant:

"Why did General Zhou ask so much?"

"You have always been deceitful, and you keep saying that you are defeated, but it is your deception that you can't succeed!"

"Oh...... It turned out to be for this matter. Yes, the supernatural power ran very fast, and when the marshal took advantage of the troubles in the city, he wanted to kill the supernatural power by surprise, but the supernatural power did the opposite, attacked our army in Lintai, and then ran away, so that our army had no time to chase after it.

However, in order to disturb the heart of the Zhaocheng army, they deceived and deceived the defeat of the supernatural powers, otherwise the rebellious army would rush out of the city and go to join the supernatural powers, which would disrupt the deployment of our army. ”

Bai Liyan calmly admitted the defeat of the deceitful supernatural powers, but she didn't tell her that Shen Duchi was following behind Gu Zhong, but she was afraid that Zhou Kong's brain was hot, thinking of a plan to cooperate with the inside and outside, and there was another collusion in secret.

"If General Zhou has nothing else to do, Ben Shuai will leave first."

"Please."

Before leaving, he gave another salute, and Bailiyan led his troops to leave the office and go to the North Gate Tower to rest. When he walked away, Fang Ke and Zhou Kong said:

"I don't think this person is a vicious and vicious person, and if you descend to him at this time, you may be able to become rich and wealthy in the future."

"Rich and rich!" Zhou Kong looked at Fang Ke with a cold gaze: "Military affairs, how can it be a child's play, hum!" ”

After speaking, Zhou Kong brushed his sleeves away, and the complexities and contradictions in her heart tortured her like a knife.

The next day, when I heard the news that the East Gate Rebellion Army of the North Gate Cave was opened, it was unsurprising that the rebel army took the initiative to come to surrender, and the price of the extortion also plummeted from 30,000 last night to 9,000.

As for the gold and silver treasures in the tomb of Chai Bi, it is reported that more than half of them are in the hands of Wan Li Shi, the commander of the slave army in the south of the city, and the rest are scattered, robbed, and scattered everywhere.

At the same time, the warning signal sent by Zhou Kong three days ago was delivered to the Shentong camp through the forest path, and it was learned that Ma Zheng had died in an accident, and the slave army fell into internal strife and killed each other, and Shentong almost vomited blood, but he still did not judge the possibility of Zhou Kong's surrender, so he sent 50,000 troops to the west, joined Shen Duchi, and surrounded Bailiyan.

Two days after the Xian army entered the city, Gu Zhong and Zhao Anling led their troops to arrive in Zhaocheng, before that, Wan Li Shi, the commander of the rebel army in the south of the city, sent people to negotiate surrender, and offered 40,000 silver, which was rejected by Bailiyan, and ordered the rebels in the south and west of the city to disarm within three days and surrender unconditionally.

Wan Li Shi did not obey, conspired with the west of the city, trying to break through from the west gate, was blocked back into the city by Baili Yan with cavalry, and waited for Gu Zhong to lead the army to arrive, and the Xian army completed comprehensive military preparations.

On the day Gu Zhong entered the city, Fang Ke and Zhou Kong's troops changed their defenses to the camp in the north of the city, and the Xian army entertained them with wine and meat, and launched a fierce attack on the city wall in the south and east of the city on the second day, seized it in half a day, and attacked the east of the city the next day, retreated the chaotic army to the south of the city, and completely compressed it near the granary in the south of the city, forming a siege on all sides.

At this time, Shentong rushed to Zhaocheng on the way, learned the news of Zhaocheng's surrender from Shen Duchi, because of the fierce battle in Zhaocheng, he only thought that some of Ma Zheng's subordinates had defected, and still reported hope to Zhou Kong, so he planned to defeat Baili Yan with a combination of inside and outside, so he continued to lead his troops to Zhaocheng to be blocked twenty miles east of Zhaocheng.

Gu Zhong led 30,000 infantry troops and 10,000 cavalry, and 40,000 people have since set up camp to confront each other, and the supernatural power has been attacking, trying to break Gu Zhong while Baili Yan is trapped in Zhaocheng. Gu Zhong dug trenches and fortifications on the spot, and could not come out of the camp.

At the same time, Ye Xin and Guan Longxiang, who were far away in Lintai, were not idle, and the divine power besieged Bailiyan, and Ye Xin sent 50,000 troops to bypass Yin Qu to attack Xuping.

Nowadays, due to the difficulties of mobility and logistical transport, it is very dangerous to directly cross the frontal line of defense and attack the enemy's rear and occupy the city.

Xuping is located more than 140 miles northwest of Yinqu, and about 300 miles according to Lintai. To the north is Ganfu County, two hundred miles to the west is the Sishui River, and to the northeast is the penny hill.

There were only more than 70,000 troops and horses in Shentong's westward march, and more than 20,000 people withdrew to Yinqu and Gongcheng to hold on. At this time, Lintai had less than 80,000 Xian troops, and Ye Xin had 50,000 people to fight Yin Qu or Gongcheng, and they couldn't take it at all in ten days and half a month, and it was entirely possible for the supernatural powers to arrive in three days. At the same time, if it is annihilated by chasing the supernatural power from the tail of Lin Tai, the Xian army will have to pay a heavy price at the same time.

The spear and crossbow arrow array of the supernatural powers, the head of the hundred miles of Yan is large, and the radius of the battle array is within one mile, all of which are covered by the lethality of the arrows and arrows in it, far and near, and the infantry must be charged one mile away, and when they get to the entrance, there are spears and short soldiers, at this time, the physical strength of the charging soldiers has long been exhausted, and they cannot break through the defense line at all.

And this kind of formation is both offensive and defensive, different from the traditional spear array frontal enemy, the supernatural spear array is surrounded by spears, in the middle is a bow crossbow, a sky crossbow and a swarm of bees, even if it does not move in place, within a radius of one mile, within a diameter of two miles, it is within its strike range.

If it moves, the entire large array will be covered by hooked and sickle soldiers on the flanks and backs, and with its accompanying cavalry, they will attack on the flanks of cavalry, and the frontal rigid army will undoubtedly suffer a great loss. Apart from the use of aerial bombing, other means are very limited.

Therefore, the supernatural power is not afraid of being surrounded at all, on the contrary, it seeks a decisive battle, and may even bite back.

If it is not necessary, Bailiyan has never advocated fighting a dignified battle, only constantly mobilizing the enemy, looking for opportunities in the movement.

The battle with the Jin Xuedi people was undoubtedly a lesson in blood, a high-intensity battle in a few days, more than a third of the two or three hundred thousand people were killed and wounded, and it could not be slowed down for half a year or even a year.

Xuping is more than 300 miles away from Lintai, the infantry army often needs to march to five or six to, four days of rapid marching, Shentong Zhaocheng to Yin Qu 130 li, Shentong camp is only 100 miles away from Yin Qu, forced march can be reached in one day.

Ye Xin rashly went to fight Yin Qu, and he could reach it in one day at the fastest time by walking and riding, and it was too late at all. But if you go to fight Xuping, which is 300 miles away, the Xian army can be reached by marching lightly for three days. And Xuping is located in the rear, the defenders are only more than 3,000 people, and 50,000 people will definitely break under the strong attack.

Of course, in terms of distance, the Shentong went to Xuping for more than thirty miles, and the forced march should be able to reach it for three days, but this time the usual trick of the Shentong failed.

The essence of a forced march is nothing more than will and physical strength, which in turn is related to morale and training, and logistics determines physical fitness, both of which are supernatural.

The first time I found that Ye Xin rushed straight to Yin Qu, the divine power was still hesitant, and did not chase it, and continued to attack Gu Zhong, hoping that Gu Zhong would be defeated, and Li Ying and Wai would trap Baili Yan in Zhaocheng. However, on the second day, the situation changed dramatically, and the rebel army in the south of Zhaocheng surrendered, and the main force of the Xian army went out of the city to supplement the Guzhong camp.

"Report, report to the king of heaven, the Xian army is dispatched from Zhaocheng and is coming to our army."

The soldier said quickly, his heart sank, and he sat down on the seat without expression:

"It's over, it's over......"

At this time, Shen Duchi hurriedly said:

"Heavenly King, our army has attacked Guzhong for several days, and there have been heavy casualties, let's withdraw quickly, if we are entangled by the Xian army, Yin Qu will lose again, and the consequences may be unimaginable."

"No, never!"

Roaring hysterically, his divine power overturned the table in front of him in a fit of rage, his gaffe shocked everyone, Song He stepped forward cautiously and said:

"Heavenly King, withdraw now, you can still get rid of the Xian army, once the Xian army is in place, it will be difficult for our army to withdraw again, let's still withdraw."

"Withdraw! Where to retreat! The supernatural power asked, a tide of anger on the face behind the mask.

Frightened by the arrogance of the gods, Song He stood aside and did not say more, and then the guards outside the tent came to report:

"Respect the Heavenly King, the commander of the Xian Army, Baili Yan, asked to see the Heavenly King before the formation."

"What, see me!"

Shentong was suspicious, and at this time, Shen Duchi's face was pale, and he thought of what good things he was going to prepare every time he saw Bailiyan, and he hurriedly said:

"Heavenly King, Baili Yan is treacherous and abnormal, every time he provokes before the battle, there must be a treacherous plot. The last general has suffered his losses several times, so it's better to be careful. ”

"Humph!" Shentong snorted coldly: "Shuzi'an dares to deceive me, this heavenly king will meet him." ”

Shentong didn't think that Bai Li Yan could deceive him, because Shen Duchi's strategy with Bai Li Yan was not in the same order of magnitude at all, and there was no room for the two to compete, and Shen Duchi was bound to lose.

On the contrary, it is a miraculous power, and he has always been confident that he is better than Bailiyan, and the defeat of Zhaocheng is not his reason, but Ma Zheng, so he is not afraid of Bailiyan's design to deceive him.

When he was young, Shentong came to the front of the camp in a chariot, and Bailiyan and others watched in front of the battle, only to see one person standing on the car wearing a mask, and others were not sure that it was a supernatural power.

At the same time, another problem came to mind in a blink of an eye, war criminals at the level of heavenly kings and high priests all wore masks, and very few people knew their true faces. Even if you surrender, who knows that you are behind the mask.
