Although Li Peifu over there was unwilling to catch Xiao Yu twice, it could be regarded as a continuous victory, and the morale of the soldiers was very high, and they all asked for a battle to storm Cangwu City. Li Peifu knew that now that he had an absolute advantage in troops, it was impossible to design and lure out Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong, so he adopted the opinions of the generals and decided to storm Cangwu City.

Lin Peiyuan and Feng Fenglong were both injured by Liu Zixuan, although they were both skin injuries, they also needed to recuperate for a period of time, and they were temporarily unable to lead the troops to fight. Li Peifu had no choice but to summon another of his generals, Wan Hailong, from Yulin City, and asked him to lead 30,000 troops to fight Cangwu City.

In the face of Wan Hailong's offensive, Dai Tuo, who could not defend himself, gradually felt the pressure, and the obvious lack of troops put the Song army at a disadvantage. Wan Hailong can divide people into three groups and attack in turns, and Dai Tuo can't divide his own people into three groups to defend, otherwise the number of people in each group will be too small to defend at all. After a few days, the Song army was exhausted, and if it continued like this, Cangwu City would be in danger.

Dai Tuo went to Tian Yulong several times and asked him to ask the imperial court to send reinforcements. How dare Tian Yulong mention the matter of sending reinforcements to Xiao Daocheng, and every time he finds excuses to prevaricate.

Dai Tuo saw that Tian Yulong couldn't count on it, so he transferred all the defenders of several nearby small counties such as Yuyang and Cangyi back, and went all out to defend Cangwu. But even so, the strength of Cangwu City is less than 20,000, and it is still overstretched in the face of Wan Hailong's army.

During the period, Dai Tuo also wanted to discuss with Shi Luosheng to get an idea, but Shi Luosheng also used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries and kept silent about military affairs. Although Liu Zixuan will help defend the city, no matter how high a person's martial arts are, the thousands of troops on the opposite side can play a very small role.

As for Wang Lun, he was not well-known in the Song army, and Dai Tuo only regarded him as Shi Luosheng's staff, and he didn't think to ask Wang Lun's opinion at all. Just when Dai Tuo was about to lose his support, Tian Yulong finally walked out of his room.

The generals gathered in the conference hall and waited for Tian Yulong's next instructions, except for the second prince Xiao Yu, who was still in a coma, all the generals, including Shi Luosheng, arrived. Dai Tuo looked at Tian Yulong, who was sitting in the handsome seat, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether Cangwu City could hold it in the end, at least he didn't have to bear the last responsibility.

Tian Yulong uncharacteristically did not let the generals show their opinions, but said directly to Shi Luosheng: "Taifu, now that Cangwu City has reached the most critical moment, if you want to turn defeat into victory, you can only make dangerous moves." ”

Shi Luosheng saw that Tian Yulong only said to himself, and vaguely felt bad in his heart, so he frowned and asked, "I don't know how Lord Taiwei wants to make dangerous moves?" ”

Tian Yulong said: "I want to give Taifu 5,000 people to sneak attack Yulin City, now the defense of Yulin City is empty, the original 50,000 city defense troops in the city have been brought out by Li Peifu, and even Wan Hailong, the commander of the city defense army, has been transferred to the front line to attack us." At this time, if Taifu can successfully take Yulin City, Li Peifu is worried that his back road will be cut off, and he will inevitably retreat, and then Taifu and I can defeat the Qin army by attacking back and forth. ”

Before Shi Luosheng could speak, Dai Tuo hurriedly stopped: "This move is absolutely impossible, there are 30,000 horses of Wan Hailong outside the city, and there are 20,000 people of Li Peifu behind, although there are not many people of 5,000, but it is almost impossible to detour to Yulin City from under their noses without being discovered by them." In addition, the strength of Cangwu City was already insufficient, and if Taifu took away another 5,000 people at this time, I was afraid that if Taifu didn't wait for Taifu to go to Yulin City, Cangwu would be lost. The best way to do this is to ask Jian Ye to send reinforcements to support. ”

Tian Yulong ignored Dai Tuo, stared at Shi Luosheng and said, "I also know that this trip requires a lot of risks, but this is also the only way that can turn the crisis into safety." Taifu, you are the righteous son of my Great Song Guozhu General Deng, the tiger father has no dog son, I believe that only you can complete this task here. ”

Dai Tuo still insisted on opposing, Tian Yulong glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "General Dai, your task is to find a way to defend Cangwu City, and you won't have to worry about the sneak attack on Yulin, as for asking Jianye for reinforcements, as long as Taifu can successfully sneak attack, there is no need for reinforcements at all." Besides, the soldiers of the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty are less than 300,000, and this time in order to resist the combined forces of Chu and Qin, 100,000 troops have been dispatched, where did Your Majesty send reinforcements. After speaking, his eyes turned to Shi Luosheng again.

Shi Luosheng saw Tian Yulong's resolute attitude, although he hadn't guessed his intentions for the time being, but he also knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only agree: "The last general is willing to listen to the orders of Lord Taiwei, but the last general took away 5,000 people, and the remaining troops are indeed not enough to defend the city, I don't know if Lord Taiwei can deal with it?" ”

Tian Yulong saw that Shi Luosheng had agreed, and his expression looked a little better, and said: "Don't worry about this, I will mobilize the young and strong men in the city to defend the city together, although their combat effectiveness is a little worse, but the defense of the city should be able to barely cope for a few days." The main thing is to see if Taifu can take Yulin as soon as possible, as long as Yulin is captured, everything else is not a problem. In addition, I will also let General Liu go with you, General Liu bravely crowned the three armies, and with his help, I am even more sure of this trip. ”

That night, Shi Luosheng gathered 5,000 men and horses, and took Liu Zixuan and Wang Lun to sneak out of Cangwu City at night. Liu Zixuan asked puzzledly: "I don't understand why you agreed to Tian Yulong to sneak attack Yulin, that is almost an impossible task." ”

Shi Luosheng sighed and didn't answer, Wang Lun explained for Shi Luosheng: "General Liu, you have also seen today's situation, Taiwei Tian is determined to let General Shi go, and there is no way to refuse." ”

Liu Zixuan said again: "Cangwu City's current crisis Tian Yulong doesn't know, he still dares to transfer us all away at this time, does he want to give up Cangwu?" According to Dai Tuo, it is only right to ask for reinforcements now, and recruit those who are young and strong without training and can support them for a few days. ”

"That's what I'm thinking about today." Shi Luosheng finally spoke: "Tian Yulong doesn't dare to explain the situation here to His Majesty now, if His Majesty knows that his poor command has led to a big defeat, and he can take the opportunity to take him down, how dare he mention the matter of reinforcements." ”

Wang Lun echoed: "Yes, the problem that the Taiwei has to face now is not only to repel the Qin army in front of him, but also to give His Majesty a reasonable explanation, otherwise even if the Qin army retreats, it is unreasonable to say that the 50,000 people brought by him will eventually die more than 30,000." ”

Liu Zixuan asked again: "Then he can't solve his problem if he sends us to attack Yulin now, does he want to pull us on his back before he dies?" ”

Shi Luosheng shook his head and said, "Of course not, how could an old fox like Tian Yulong do such a thing, it was just a pretext for us to sneak attack Yulin City, and he also knew that we couldn't succeed." But if I refused on the spot, he would take me down on the charge of disobeying the military order, and put all the blame for the previous defeat on me, saying that I acted on my own as the righteous son of General Deng and the crown prince, which led to the defeat of the Song army. Even if Your Majesty didn't believe it afterwards, it was always true that I disobeyed the military order, and I was at a loss at the time, and I let him slaughter him. ”

Shi Luosheng continued: "I later promised him to attack Yulin, and he also sent Zixuan to accompany me, because he also knew that this trip was a life of nine deaths, and as long as we all died in battle, he could still put all the blame for the defeat on me." ”
