Under the city of Chezhou, there are mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

The king's eyebrows kept jumping.

Nearly 10,000 of the 80,000 rebels had been killed or wounded, and all of them had died in the siege.

This made the King of Thailand very distressed.

These 80,000 people are his struggle to dominate the world. The bargaining chips for seizing the throne, the most important bargaining chips, died nearly 10,000 in just one night, and until now, even a small Yangzhou city has not been taken. This made the king of Thailand want to conquer the provinces in the future. The strategic concept of the capital was shaken.

The original plan was indeed flawless, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, to capture Yangzhou by way of a secret attack, and at the same time send troops to exterminate the five thousand dragon martial forces stationed outside the city, killing the two most important people, Fang Zheng and Feng Qiudao, the fourth brother of the emperor The most important martial arts, but also his henchmen. In this year and a half, he will use his prestige to incite all the families in the south of the Yangtze River, the common people and the refugees who fled north of the Yellow River, and bewitch them to rise up against the new emperor together.

But now he is in a dilemma.

The casualties of his own soldiers are still increasing, but Yangzhou City is still in the hands of Feng Qiudao.

What went wrong?

The King of Thailand was puzzled.

At the moment before the troops were dispatched, the five thousand Longwu troops outside the city and the local garrison in Yangzhou all entered the city. Then the gates were shut. How do they see through their intentions? Could it be that Fang Zheng will not know the prophet?

If the dragon warriors fought him in the wilderness, the king of Thailand could wipe them out without much effort, but once they entered the city, it was difficult to say whether they would win or lose. The king of Thailand has read a lot of books since he was a child, he knows that there was a war in the previous dynasty, and only 10,000 old and weak soldiers defended the city, but there was no shortage of food and grass in their city, and the equipment was sufficient, relying on the strong walls of the city, and the enemy's 100,000 elite soldiers were attacked for three years and were not captured, and finally the enemy's main general had to withdraw the army, throwing down the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers, and retreating back in a gray manner.

The King of Thailand feels that now he is also in this predicament.

Everything deviated from his plan. The secret attack was changed to an open attack, and the effect was naturally much worse. Again and again the siege failed, he had thought about withdrawing more than once, he didn't want to bury the lives of his soldiers under this city in vain, but he thought about it and considered that the casualties of the soldiers defending the city might be greater, perhaps, just attack again. The city will fall"

This devilish thought drove him to grit his teeth again and again and order his soldiers to attack the city, and then failed again and again. It's like hitting a giant who has lost its strength and is crumbling, and the King of Thailand is gambling every time. Perhaps, the next punch will knock him out,

Again and again, before the giant fell, the king's hand began to hurt,"

The other party is very tenacious, Feng Qiudao is worthy of being a famous general, he is good at using all the manpower and material resources that can be used in the city, and the tung oil is exhausted. He collected vegetable oil for cooking in people's homes. Running out of rolling logs and stones. So he demolished the arrow towers and bluestones of the inner city wall and used them for defense."

This is a terrible enemy.

The Poison King's eyes were red.

"Someone! Give me one more rush! Give me 10,000 people this time. The siege on all sides is not divided into main attacks and secondary attacks, all of them are given to me! ”

The sun is about to come out, and Yangzhou must be taken before the imperial reinforcements arrive, otherwise it will fall short! The King of Thailand secretly clenched his fists, and his body began to tremble slightly. I don't know if it's anger or fear.

On the city wall of Yangzhou, Feng Qiudao was covered with scars and blood, but he was still like a javelin, standing straight at the head of the city, looking at the enemy formation that was about to move in the distance.

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Feng Qiudao's face was full of contempt and fearlessness.

They will soon attack the city again, and this time the momentum is not small," Feng Qiudao said softly. As if talking to himself.

Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen were also covered in blood, and said with a smile when they heard this: "Attack, let's defend and leave." ”

His tone was as relaxed as inviting a friend to his house for dinner.

But everyone in the city knows that everyone is actually not easy.

Including the local garrison, all the soldiers defending the city combined were less than 3,000 men. And half of them were slightly or severely injured.

What can the 3,000 weak brigade do? They can defend the city one more time, and then in the frenzied attack of the enemy, they will be like moths, and they will pounce on the fire fiercely. Reduced to ashes, they will eventually become a cold name on the court memorials.

Perhaps, Feng Qiudao could also choose to capture the young and strong people in the city, force them to take up arms, and continue to defend the city as soldiers.

But Feng Qiudao was reluctant to do so.

The duty of a soldier is to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and to support the community. What is the point of protecting the people, if they are forced to take up arms and go into battle? What's the point of holding on to this city?

Feng Qiudao turned around and quietly stared at the soldier's robe with a blank expression in front of him, his eyes were filled with a little pain, they were still young, their lives were as vigorous and brilliant as the morning sun, if there was no war, they might have lived to be seventy or eighty years old, and at that time, their children and grandchildren would have been on their knees. They stroked their white beards in their hands, laughed and told stories of the battles of their youth, and perhaps even a little bit of cowhide, saying that they were one enemy to a hundred. Ten thousand clips are not cloudy..."

But today, they died on this ruthless battlefield because of someone's inflated ambition, and the years to come, whether they were turbulent or dull and peaceful, had nothing to do with them.

A large force of enemy troops under the city is marching around the city. Their offensive intentions were obvious, attacking the city on all sides, not dividing the priority and priority, and the king of Thailand began to be anxious.

Feng Qiudao smiled bitterly, the current combat strength of the soldiers under his command, not to mention guarding the four city walls, is that they can't resist for a long time, and after a fierce battle all night, their physical strength has been completely overdrawn, and some of them can't even hold their weapons steadily, and even he, the general who leads the troops, is a little shaky.

Slowly scanning everyone, Feng Qiudao's tone was still as firm as usual, but this time, there was a little more tragedy in his firm tone.

"Brothers, the thieves are attacking the city again, let's take up arms again, fight with them, and ask for mercy. Seeking righteousness and preserving righteousness, city two, : Han is here, it is not easy, you are all good! ”

"Feng didn't dare to lie to everyone, the reinforcements would not come, it happened too suddenly, and the imperial court did not have time to dispatch a large army to rush to help in such a short period of time."

"Brother for many years, Feng also hopes that you can live well, all of you will live to be eighty years old," if the city is broken. The brother who doesn't want to die puts down his weapon and surrenders! Feng is in no way responsible"

The soldiers with blank expressions finally showed excited expressions, and their young faces covered with blood stains had turned the color of pig liver, as if they had been slapped in the face.

"General! I'd rather die than surrender! A soldier roared with tears in his eyes.

"That's right! We'd rather die than surrender! "The crowd was like a pile of dry wood ignited by a spark, and in an instant a fire burst into flames.

Feng Qiudao showed a relieved smile, "Don't call me general, I'm a little older than you, when you say goodbye, call me big brother." Today, this Yangzhou city may be the place where we bury our bones, and let us fight! Let those disloyal and unrighteous thieves in the city see what it means to be loyal and righteous, and what it means to regard death as home! ”

"Death is like home!" Three thousand resolute roars, like an invisible sword, tore through the eye-catching clouds.

At the same time, the horn of the rebel army under the city sounded, and the soldiers in black armor rushed to the city wall one after another

The soldiers defending the city gritted their teeth, took up their weapons with difficulty but resolutely, picked up the rolling logs, threw stones, and staggered towards the city. The battle of attack and defense, which risked his life, began again.

"Send another 10,000 people to the top! This time, we will take the city no matter what! The King of Thailand stared at the city with red eyes, and the latest order came out of his teeth.

"Brothers, hold on! Fight to the last man, Ben will die with you! Feng Qiudao shouted violently.

In the midst of the arrows whistling in the sky. In the fierce fighting, I don't know who sang the ballad in front of the battle: "How can you say that you have no clothes?" with the Son.

Wang Yuxingshi. Fix my spear. Same as the Son"

The song is melodious and passionate, echoing in this battlefield full of slaughter and blood. Built to last. It is like the compassionate eyes of gods and Buddhas, watching all kinds of suffering in the world.

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear and halberd, and work with the son..."At last all the soldiers defending the city began to sing in unison, and in the tragic and generous singing, stones and rolling logs were raised high, mercilessly smashing on the heads of the rebellious soldiers who climbed the city wall. Young and fresh soldiers were also killed by the enemy's roaring arrows.

In the distance, a large group of black-pressed anti-thieves swarmed in, and Feng Qiudao's heart became heavier and heavier, and he became more and more desperate. He is not afraid of death, the general of a hundred battles will inevitably die in front of the battle, he has long been prepared, he is worried about the loss of Yangzhou, will he put a disgraceful stain on his name behind him, and he is even more worried about how much trouble it will bring to the imperial court.

Feng Qiudao smiled miserably. Forget it, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think more, fight the last bit of strength, and then die for the country, I will be worthy of the court and the emperor.

Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen's faces were as pale as earth, but they clenched their teeth tightly and didn't say a word. Just kept raising the rolling log in his hand and smashed it into the chaotic army that climbed the city wall.

"Huh? Another army came: "It's cavalry!" A soldier pointed in confusion to the empty plain five miles to the west.

Xiao Huaiyuan said angrily: "It's coming, what's so strange?" Anyway, it's a death, and it's the same for Lao Tzu to die under anyone. ”

"No, my lord, that army "seems, it doesn't seem to be a thief," said the soldier.

"What?" Xiao Huaiyuan turned his head in some surprise, only to see a few cavalry slowly emerging on the horizon in the distance, and then, like mushrooms after a rain, there were more and more cavalry, more and more dense, they were dressed in dark gray armor representing the imperial army, under the light of the sun, like a huge torrent, rolling towards Yangzhou City.

Everyone was stunned, both the rebel army besieging the city and the soldiers defending the city. Unconsciously stopped moving, stupidly watching this dark gray torrent approaching closer and closer, this cavalry formed an offensive cone formation, and the tip of the cone pointed directly at the Chinese army of the King of Thailand outside the city.

In the rapid gallop, the cavalry suddenly played a big flag out of thin air, with black characters on a red background on the flag, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing embroidered with a big "square" character.

When the flag was raised, the King of Thailand and Feng Qiudao became excited at the same time, the difference was that. The King of Thailand became frightened, while Feng Qiudao was full of ecstasy.

"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! "This moment. Feng Qiudao looked up to the sky like a child and laughed: "Lord Fang is here with reinforcements!" Yangzhou will not be lost! We're not going to die! ”

After a brief pause, the soldiers defending the city erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and everyone hugged their heads and wept, some rejoicing for the rest of their lives after the war. Others were sad for the robes that died in battle, and all kinds of emotions were vented at this moment, and they were dripping with joy.

The King of Thailand's body trembled slightly.

Reinforcements really came, this battle. Defeated!

Now it is no longer practical to attack Yangzhou again, and we must give up decisively, and we must think about it at this time. How to retain their strength to the greatest extent in the battle of the imperial court army, in order to fight for the future.

"Recall the besieging soldiers! Shield hand forward! Everybody's in line! Full Moon Array Defense! ”

The King of Thailand kept giving orders. He had a deeper predicament in his heart

Isn't Fang Zheng in the city? Why did he appear outside the city with cavalry? What the hell is this person doing?

The order was given, and tens of thousands of people lined up in a formation like a crescent moon in the face of the rushing cavalry like a tide.

However, the cavalry did not hesitate in terms of speed or impact. They are above all arms, and they have been the backbone of the charge against the enemy since ancient times. And the army of the king of Thailand was all infantry because it was going to attack the city.

The two armies have not yet clashed, and they are immediately superior. The galloping cavalry got closer and closer to the chaotic army, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a snowy blade, with an unstoppable momentum, splitting a piercing gap in the black armor chaotic army, this gap was torn bigger and bigger with the influx of cavalry, and finally the cavalry passed through the full moon defense array without any scruples. The rebels left behind a litter of corpses.

"Stabilize the formation!" The King of Thailand's face turned a little pale, and he no longer had a gentle and elegant appearance, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Release the arrow!" Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

As soon as the words fell. A rain of arrows

But it was too late, and the cavalry galloped east without looking back. The horse did not slow down in the slightest, and gradually drifted away. The arrows were shot with little effect. No damage was inflicted on the cavalry at all.

The King of Thailand's expression was gloomy and his face was pale.

Fang Zheng! I really underestimated you before."

When Fang Zheng rushed to the outside of Yangzhou with 60,000 dragon warriors. It was two hours later.

In these two hours, Han Dashi followed Fang Zheng's order, and after harassing the chaotic army on a small scale, he did not attack again, and took 30,000 cavalry away more than ten miles away. staring at the rebel army. One by one, the cost of cavalry and war horses was very high. Without complete certainty, Han Dashi did not dare to make senseless sacrifices.

But after the rebellious army was killed by the cavalry for a while, including the king of Thailand, there was strong psychological pressure. Right now

Riding on the horse, Fang Zheng raised his horsewhip and pointed diagonally, and asked, "What is the full part of that black-pressed army?" ”

Since the king of Thailand raised his army. Fang Zheng hadn't seen the rebel army yet, so he didn't know it.

The subordinate replied respectfully: "That is the chaotic army of the King of Thailand." ”

"What?" Fang Zheng was taken aback, his face turned pale in an instant, and then he began to get angry: "Why are we so close to him?" Depend on! It's too dangerous! ”

The place where the chaotic army lined up was behind a small hill, Fang Zheng didn't see it when he came, and when he turned the hill, he found that the two armies were less than two miles apart, which made him feel very scared.

"Retreat! Retreat first! Stay away! "Coach Fang Zheng gave the first order, which was very negative and shameless.

So, before the 60,000 soldiers could catch their breath, they immediately retreated again, rising and falling like a tide.

The enemy's foothold is not stable, and the whole army rushes to kill it! The King of Thailand gave the order to charge, and he was helpless against the cavalry, but he was very confident in the 60,000 infantry.

The rebels shouted in unison, raised their swords and guns in unison, and rushed towards the Longwu army. On an open and wide plain. Tens of thousands of troops rolled up the yellow dust in the sky, and the momentum showed a sharp blade towards the Long Wu Army.

"Your Highness, the enemy army has somehow retreated!" When he was about to rush to the front of the Longwu Army, the soldiers under his command hurriedly bowed.

"Retreated?" The King of Thailand was shocked, "Why did he retreat?" What the hell is this guy doing? He clearly had the upper hand. Retreating before the confrontation is not a deception? ”

"No matter what his plot is, I can't fall for him!"

The King of Thailand shouted, "Quick! The whole army is back! Come back! Array! ”

The rapid sound of gold sounded in front of the battle, and the blades of the soldiers of the rebel army were about to touch the bodies of the soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army. From the rear, however, an order to retreat came.

The military order was like a mountain, and the soldiers of the rebellious army immediately put away their swords and guns, and quickly retreated.

As a result, a very strange scene appeared under the Yangzhi City.

Two armies of tens of thousands of people. At the moment when they were about to clash, they all suddenly withdrew at both ends, and both armies ran in opposite directions with their lives scattered. What was supposed to be a battlefield for the two armies quickly appeared in an empty empty space, and the ground was littered with only shoes, helmets, flags, and swords that had been discarded while running. It's like an anti-war movie.

Feng Qiudao and Xiao Huaiyuan, who were standing on the city tower and watching the battle happily, Wen Sen and the others saw it more realistically.

"This" what's going on? Xiao Huaiyuan paused for a moment, then jumped up and said loudly.

"Could it be that Lord Fang is using a trick?" Vinson patted horses into a habit.

Xiao Huaiyuan glared at him: "What kind of trick?" Walk for the top? ”

Vincent scratched his head: "It's really incomprehensible, what Lord Fang thinks." It's like a wild imagination, and like an antelope hanging its horns, there is no trace to be found, profound, too profound, "General Feng, you have been in battle for a long time, do you know what Lord Fang's intentions are in this move?" ”

Feng Qiudao raised his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and said suspiciously: "I don't understand it either, the two armies are just about to fight." But they all retreated together, like "like"

It's like God put a stinky fart between the two armies and smoked them all away."

Vincent praised: "Lord Xiao's description is very apt" Ahem, realizing that he shouldn't have said bad things about him behind his boss's back. Vinson hurriedly stopped.

Fang Zheng led 60,000 Longwu soldiers to retreat for three or four miles before stopping, and the army began to line up again.

Fang Zheng rode on the horse, frightened, and asked with a pale face, "Stay away from him now, right?" ”

"My lord, it's already far away, it can't be farther" The subordinates were full of black lines, it turned out that Lord Fang ordered to retreat because he was too close to the enemy and had no sense of security, if this matter was spread. I wonder if adults will be ashamed in the slightest?

"Far away?" Hearing this, Fang Zheng hurriedly raised his eyes and looked, only to see the yellow dust behind him, and in the yellow dust, he faintly saw that a few miles away, the rebellious army of the King of Thailand was also untidy and in formation.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng perked up, and suddenly regained his self-confidence. He held his head high. Raising his hand to point to the enemy's middle formation, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and said majestically: "Generals, who wants to come forward to fight and take this fang for this general?" ”

Behind Fang Zheng, several lieutenants of the Long Wujun inadvertently exchanged glances. What's going on with this boss? He ran like a lost dog just now, and now he dares to send someone to fight, how can he be as bold as a man's thing. Big and small?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fang Zheng was very dissatisfied, and pointed to the opposite side and said, "Kill or capture the King of Thailand alive." This is a masterpiece of the world! Hey,,Someone on the other side came out to call the board.,No,It's a battle.,Hey.。 I don't care. Whoever is called later, they will have to go up to fight. Don't weaken the name of our Dragon Martial Army... river

Before the words fell, I could only hear a hearty laugh from the yellow dust in the sky: "Lord Fang Zheng Fang is in the army?" Can you see each other? ”

"Holy!" Fang Zheng's expression was like swallowing a fly alive.
