In early spring, it is warm and cold. The still biting cold night wind blew through the vicissitudes of the city, blowing the flag hunting at the head of the city. Under it is an ironclad man who stands as straight as a pine and stands like a mountain, as if it has been carved since ancient times. The city of Jiezhou was solemn and silent at night, only the sound of the uniform footsteps of the night patrol soldiers sounded from time to time, and the shiny swords and armor became more and more eerie in the moonlight.

After listening to the report about the fire in Dingbian City, Geng Zhicheng quietly frowned, slowly walked up the stairs of the city tower, and then stared in the direction of Dingyuan for a long time. An imperceptible heroic tear rolled out of his eyes, silently sinking into the cracks in the stone at the head of the city. This is an affirmation of the 500 dead soldiers, and it is also a remembrance, the cruelty of the war and the cost of blood and even life can only become the motivation of the soldiers.

Blood numbs, death makes indifference, and in the end it all turns into infinite hatred and strength, and the heights of war are sublimated again and again.

The wind suddenly became fierce and rushed from northwest to southeast like madness. A trace of dark clouds obscured the moon, and the burnt smell of fire in Dingzhou City was suffocating. The wheels were rolling, accompanied by the groans of the wounded soldiers, and a load of military pay was slowly leaving the embrace of the fire under the personal command of Ning Yuan and Duanmu Ming and the desperate support of the coalition forces.

A convoy was passing through a narrow alley when it suddenly caught fire, and the arson was set on fire by several soldiers dressed in Zhang Chu's military uniform, who, after successfully slashing and killing several Hun soldiers, had now turned the alley and disappeared in front of a merchant's door. And this courtyard was immediately surrounded by the Ground Legion that followed.

"Dig three feet into the ground, you must find people out for me!" Ning Yuan stood in the courtyard with a grim face, roaring. Then he lowered his face and said to another even more iron-blue face beside him: "Prince Duanmu, we have no reason to burn our own food, let alone assassinate the soldiers of the allies, I think you are an understanding person, this must be the enemy army playing tricks!" ”

Duanmu Ming didn't know it, but he was secretly complaining at this time. Since the capture of Dingbian City, the friction between the Hun soldiers and Zhang Chubing has not stopped. In addition, he has just issued three bans, and the hearts of his subordinates are tight. He must now come up with an explanation, or let Mr. Ning Da come up with an explanation, to prove that this was a misunderstanding.

At the same time, he now has to live on the food and grass of the allies. It's a bit of a short half-head, so he's not left or right at this moment.

The 500 dead soldiers left behind by Geng Zhicheng succeeded in igniting the fire in Dingbian. is also deliberately deepening the contradictions within the Allied forces, they took advantage of the geographical advantage to launch guerrilla warfare with the coalition forces, often putting on Zhang Chujun's military uniform, one side of the fire, that side of the slaughter of a few people, provoked the incident without love for the war immediately left, once hiding in a hole in a certain house, it seems to disappear out of thin air, at least to the coalition army feels like ... One evaporates.

Of course, their clothes came from the assassinated Zhang Chujun, because there were too many people in the army, and they sometimes used the cover of night to mingle with Zhang Chu's army without being recognized. The search is more difficult.

Fortunately, Geng Zhicheng did not order the underground caves of each household to be connected into tunnels, if that is the case, it may really be possible to stage a stage version of "Tunnel War" with the coalition forces.

With not enough water to fight the fire, the coalition forces had to take shelter from the fire. Under the attack of 500 dead soldiers, the city of Dingbian was full of fire. From time to time, the soldiers who ran out with fire on their bodies ran out, screaming like pigs, and kept rolling back and forth on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies. At the same time, a large number of dead soldiers rushed forward desperately to light the flames, and then perished with the defenders. This kind of deadly sneak attack caused a lot of headaches for the coalition forces.

Seeing a large amount of grain and grass being burned, although Mr. Ning Da was still as stable as Mount Tai on the surface, his heart seemed to be boiling with hot oil. Grain and grass are the basis of the existence of the army, and the army without supplies is basically a team of abandoned brigades, not to mention killing people, it is estimated that it is difficult to kill chickens.

In order to prevent the grain and grass that had been moved to safety from being attacked again, Mr. Ning Da dug a well near the granary and sent heavy troops to guard it, patrolling day and night, and at the same time dispatching a large number of partially cleared up the remaining Chinese dead soldiers. Due to their own care, it took nearly two days for the coalition forces to stabilize in Dingyuan City.

At this time, Bai Yunfan's army was getting closer and closer to Jiezhou after an emergency march.

Bai Yunqi, on the other hand, began to gather the other two countries at all costs, and now, they are conducting detailed negotiations on the plan to divide the monarch and ministers of Zhang Chu.

is still the lazy look, Bai Yunqi, who is just a little injured, leans on a pillow, reclining on the bed, and his two big hands are hugging left and right, constantly rubbing oil on Xue Crimson and Xu Yuyan's jade body, making the two girls ** from time to time, but helpless.

"If we can successfully separate the relationship between the Ning family and the imperial court, who should be next?" Under Qin Shuyu's combination of soft and hard, Bai Yunqi took another sip of medicinal food, and suddenly smiled: "I haven't seen him for a long time, I really want to do it." ”

"Liu Qianli?" Xu Yuyan blushed for no reason, but she still unabashedly called out the name of the best candidate. Everyone in the room almost remembered the scene when Bai Yunfan confronted Liu Qianli for the first time.

Liu Qianli, Zhang Chu's first talent. With Wen Taofu as Li Hao's left arm, Mr. Ning Da became his right arm with Wu Liu.

I think that when he was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liu Qianli actually held a painting of residual flowers after the rain at the wedding of Bai Yunqi and Qin Yushu, and openly picked the side, alluding to Qin Yushu's defeat of willows for broken flowers. As a result, Bai Yunqi used a poem by Gong Zizhen: "Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers." "Counterattack, and then Xu Yuyan went out, so that he was directly impotent for half a year, and then Tian Lingzi rescued him before he picked up half his life.

"This time, he can't play with a woman at all!" Bai Yunqi suddenly smiled heartily, "Yu Yan, it's up to you, let him also go and blow the wind to Li Hao." ”

Bai Yunqi took the initiative to pick up the medicinal food in Qin Shuyu's hand and drank it all. Then he smiled tenderly at Qin Shuyu, as if he was summing up his emotional experience over the years.

The spring breeze tent is warm, the singing and dancing are leveled, and in the palace of Daqi, the white clouds that have not healed from serious injuries are indeed enjoying the blessings of Xiaoqi. Everything was quietly approaching in the calm and calm, and on this side of the frontier, Mr. Ning Da finally stood under the city of Xizhou.

Looking at the hunting battle flags and the neat and solemn Chinese soldiers on the top of the city, the faces of the Ning father and son showed a rare hideousness. Reminiscing about the shame of the Great War I of yesteryear. Ning Yuan held the long sword with his right hand and exerted his strength, and no matter how hard he exerted, his knuckles had already turned a miserable white color.

Jiezhou, an ancient capital city that has been scarred by war, can it survive the catastrophe brought by the coalition forces this time? Everything is just an unknown mystery.

Do your best, obey the destiny of God, and don't succeed. And you will become a beneficiary! This is an oath shared by the two commanders of the city who are facing the coalition forces.

Since the coalition forces besieged Jiezhou City three days ago, although there have been continuous small battles, the two sides have not had substantial contact. Although the last 500 dead soldiers in Dingyuan City caused the coalition to lose a lot of supplies, and also brought some casualties, it was still not serious enough to affect the overall situation. However, it was the Chinese soldiers' fearless fighting style that once again cast a big shadow on their hearts.

Mr. Ning Da looked at his opponent very carefully, and while raising the command flag, the order spit out word by word from his mouth: "Siege!" ”

Life is so fragile at this moment, and life is so small in war. When the vanguard units fell, the follow-up fresh troops continued to advance on the corpses of their comrades. In columns, groups of wolf-like Zhang Chu infantry held their shields high and advanced, and the thunderbolts on the battlements kept firing iron bullets, and the hordes of infantry were blown up and then fell heavily. His body was covered with iron filings, and his formation was slightly scattered, but it still pushed forward stubbornly like a sharp sword.

The catapult moved slowly but firmly towards the city, and the boulders roared up to the city, frantically beating the ancient capital that had been shaking in the wind and rain for a long time.

The archers of the defending area showed no signs of weakness, and every time a group came up, a dense rain of arrows fell mercilessly on the leading infantry of the besieging side. And the troops who had already attacked the city began to shoot from their backs with bows and arrows.

For a time, people kept falling on the city tower, and people under the city continued to rush up with ladders, and the soldiers on both sides wrote a history of blood and tears with their lives and bodies.

The country is picturesque, how many heroes at one time!

Ning Yuan quickly and orderly issued military orders one after another, and his resolute face showed a little more representing mature old age. The performance of the Chinese sergeant made Mr. Ding Da decide to kill the prestige of the other party and drum up his own morale. Their task was to hold back the main force here, because Bai Yunfan's 80,000 army had arrived, and it was the Hun troops who had been wronged by Duanmu Ming's side for several days to greet him.

Bai Yunfan didn't want to confront the enemy head-on, but years of experience in leading troops told him that attacking is the best defense, and passive defense is showing weakness, which can only deal a serious blow to his morale.

So after a short rest, the two sides launched a decisive battle under the city of Jiezhou.

Duanmu Ming's defense took an offensive, with heavy cavalry on the left and right, and heavy infantry in the middle.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Duanmu Ming personally beat the first war drums, and the heavy cavalry on the left flank quickly and unscrupulously plunged straight into the enemy's right side. Bai Qifan looked indifferently at the overwhelming coalition troops, five hundred meters, four hundred meters...... He raised the command flag in his hand high, and the heavy infantry on the right was already ready to move.

"Attack!"

A simple but decisive and effective order, which represents bloodshed, represents death.

The thunderbolts immediately threw iron bullets, and the first group of heavy cavalry that rushed was immediately out of formation, and they scattered in all directions, but still maintained a strong momentum.

From the current point of view, the only way for them to deal with the thunderbolt is to break it into pieces and reduce the losses. This trick really worked, when the 10,000 heavy cavalry finally broke through the defense line of the thunderbolt car and entered the distance of Meat Bo at the cost of nearly 2,000 casualties, Bai Yunfan ordered to stop the firing of the thunderbolt and used the heavy infantry to forcibly block it instead. At the same time, the archers continued to enter and exit in an orderly manner under the cover of the avant-garde, and countless cavalry fell with each cycle, blood flew with the sunset on the battlefield, and lives were rapidly consumed.

"Fight for the country, never die! Brothers, follow me! ”

Bai Yunfan is worthy of being a veteran who has led troops for many years, and he knows the appeal of the army. He actually led the troops in person and rushed towards the enemy camp. At the same time, a giant catapult in the rear fired an oversized iron bullet that landed with great precision towards the position of the boss in the enemy camp.

This is the real secret weapon of this battle, and it is also the real purpose of Bai Yunfan's battle. Although this giant catapult was still huge, it was much smaller than the one that Bai had used to deal with his old father-in-law. And it is quite easy to move, and the landing point of the launch is much more accurate, which is mainly used to attack the enemy's commander. The car was deliberately under the cover of Bai Yunqi, and the enemy did not notice it in advance.

But when they found out, it was already too late, and Duanmu Ming only then understood why Bai Yunfan dared to come out with him for such a while, and for a while, he was already like ashes, and he decisively adopted the coping strategy proposed by Mr. Ning Da without even thinking about it.

The iron bullet fell to the rear of the enemy with a grim smile, Duanmu Ming's first reaction was to quickly jump off the horse, and then fell to the ground with an extremely indecent and inappropriate action like a vicious dog snatching, and the guards around him did not hesitate to rush up layer by layer, and some even pounced directly on him, forming a protective circle with his flesh.

Of course, this trick has been widely used on the battlefield now, but it is indeed not easy for Mr. Ding Da to think of it in advance!

The shell was indeed very accurate, and exploded near about six or seven meters away from Duanmu Ming (which was already good), and the dead bodies of the brigade flew out of the enemy army, and the stumps and flesh rushed to the distant altitude with iron filings and triangle iron in the sky, Duanmu Ming only felt that his ears were roaring, his head was dizzy, and the piercing pain in his legs told him that he had been confused and injured, but he saved a small life.

"Withdraw ......" In the face of this terrifying and perverted weapon, he no longer has the courage to fight. Using the last of his strength to spit out his command hand, Duanmu Ming lost consciousness.

Bai Yunfan had already rushed to the vicinity of the enemy's camp, while the heavy cavalry beside him was the first to strike, inserting into the camp of the fleeing army before him. Duanmu Ming's coma directly led to the lack of command of the Hun army, because not only was he injured, but almost all the substitutes around him died. The Huns instinctively fled in embarrassment by the heavy cavalry, but they still maintained a basic formation after a long time of battle, firmly guarding the commander whose fate was unknown.

In this battle, Bai Yunfan won a complete victory with almost no losses, killing and wounding nearly 20,000 enemies in one fell swoop, but not a single surrenderer. He didn't feel too excited in the joy of victory, but regretted that he didn't hit Duanmu Ming directly, and even scolded in his heart: "This Xie Donghai, why can't this last distance be more accurate?" Damn, Duanmu Ming, this kid is really shit lucky, he won't die like this! ”
