The war in Bei'an Province is getting tighter and tighter, although the Chu army desperately held the capital city and the two county towns, but the gap between the strength of the two sides is really huge, and the Chu army in the entire Bei'an Province is currently in a state of being surrounded by the Zhongzhou army.

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, after the last failure, Bai Junwu learned a lot smarter this time, although the number of the Zhongzhou army has an advantage, but he is more and more cautious in command. The Zhongzhou army did not simply surround the besieged Chu army, but constantly dug trenches and built walls outside the city, while trying to attack the city on a small scale.

What made the Chu army feel most tormented was that the time of the Zhongzhou army's siege of the city was irregular, and it seemed that a general attack could be launched at any time. Bai Junwu's tactics are not vicious, anyway, there are many soldiers in Zhongzhou, and they can take turns to fight at any time.

came and went, and the Chu troops defending the city were all in a trance and depressed.

Under the city of Bei'an Prefecture, the Zhongzhou Army has set up a barracks.

Bai Junwu heroically patrolled back and forth between the tents, and the feeling of being driven back to Zhongzhou last time and panicking like a lost dog had been swept away.

Several of his subordinates followed him like pugs, ready to be dispatched.

"Shi San, you said that Ben Shuai has such a way of playing, how long can the Chu army in the city support?" Bai Junwu asked a lewd black man beside him.

The black man flattered: "The handsome Tianzong is talented, such a way of playing, I'm afraid that the Chu army won't be able to hold on for half a month." ”

Bai Junwu shook his head and said hatefully: "Half a month is too long, it seems that Ben Shuai is going to choose a day to launch a general attack!" Shi San, when the time comes, you will be the front striker for this handsome, are you willing? ”

"Dashuai, I'm ......" Shi San's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to find an excuse to refuse.

Another white-faced man hurriedly said: "Shi San, the big handsome let you play the striker because you can afford you!" Do you dare not comply? ”

When the other followers heard this, they also echoed that Shi San must agree.

Seeing Bai Junwu staring at him coldly, Shi San hurriedly said: "The big man can trust Shi San, how dare Shi San live up to the trust of the big handsome?" Don't worry! I will definitely lead my soldiers and be the first to climb to the top of the city! ”

Shi San said it heroically, but he resented Bai Junwu as the commander in chief and his colleagues who fell into the well, but he just secretly hated it in his heart, and now Bai Junwu is the commander of the army, and he has the power to kill in his hands, and who of his subordinates dares to disobey him.

Speaking of which, the reason why Bai Junwu, a general of a defeated army, can still lead an army of 100,000 to conquer Chuzhou and take revenge is entirely because of the opportunity that his father Bai Jingwen won for him.

The Bai family's power in Zhongzhou is really not small, and almost three-fifths of the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Ningyuan court who surrendered in Zhongzhou are secretly related to the Bai family. Considering this, since Zhou Ning entered Zhongzhou, he has always been polite to the Bai family, even if Bai Junwu returned to Beijing in embarrassment after defeat, he did not make any accusations, but sent people to the house with gifts to condole.

And this time it was not Zhou Ning's idea to send troops to attack Chu, and Bai Jingwen took the initiative to propose it. Bai Jingwen's proposal is right for Zhou Ning, and more than half of the main force of this dispatch is not Zhou Ning's descendant, so Zhou Ning naturally has no reason to object.

And Bai Jingwen asked to send troops, firstly, to avenge his son and win back face for the Bai family. Second, he also wants his son to take the opportunity to master an armed force belonging to the Bai family, which is of immeasurable significance to the future of the Bai family.

Before setting out, Bai Jingwen repeatedly instructed his son, hoping that he would win this battle, and in case he couldn't win, he must preserve his strength and not consume his strength in Chuzhou.

In order to ensure the victory of this battle, Bai Jingwen even sent his chief strategist, Yang Wuwu, to his son Bai Junwu. Bai Junwu's current harassing style of fighting against the Chu army defending the city was taught by Yang Wuwu.

…

The situation in Nam Binh is not much better, and in some respects it is even worse than that of Pak An.

Because the 50,000 Chu army has been pressed and beaten by the Yi army with similar strength, basically only the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back, so Han Yuan had to follow Zhu Yifeng's advice and lead the personal guards to Gaoyang County and Changshan County to reinforce them.

Because of the arrival of the commander, the morale of the Chu army defending the city finally increased a little, and the offensive of the Yi army slowed down a little.

However, Sun Xun sent a letter to Han Yuan at this time, which mentioned the current situation of Han Yuan's biological father, Han Tong, in Yijun, although the words were very polite, Han Yuan clearly heard the threat.

Han Won didn't tell anyone about his father's life, including his younger brother. Han Yuan didn't want to believe Sun Xun's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the possibility that his father was still alive was not impossible. At least judging from Sun Xun's description in the letter, his father seems to be really alive in the world.

However, Sun Xun wants to threaten himself with this kind of thing, is it possible? Han Yuan knew that Sun Xun must also understand that he would not achieve any practical benefits by taking his father's life as a threat to himself. But if this matter spreads, I am afraid that his won will be in the hearts of the people of the world, and he will end up with a name of unfilial piety.

is a good Sun Xun, and he really plays a good chess hand, and he actually thought of destroying his reputation in this way.

Whenever he thought of Sun Xun's sinister intentions, Han Yuan couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, perhaps, this Sun Xun was his enemy of fate.

In the barracks, Han Won once again emphasized his strategy to his generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for Bei'an Mansion, I have only one instruction to General Li, that is, to defend it! Our goal is to find a way to fight a decisive battle with the Yijun army, defeat the other party, and return to Yizhou. Only in this way can we quickly move our troops back north to support General Lee. ”

Ma Erhan said: "Lord, how to defeat the soldiers and horses of Yizhou, what kind of tricks does the military advisor have?" ”

Han Yuan sighed and said, "After all, Mr. Zhu is also a human being, and he is not an immortal, so how can he come up with a strategy to defend against the enemy every time." Speaking of which, you still have to brainstorm ideas. ”

Ermao suddenly said: "Brother Han, didn't Yuezhou form an alliance with us before?" The war in Bei'an is tight, why not ask them to help? ”

Han Yuan smiled bitterly: "Since Sima Zhen's death in Yuezhou, the remaining Qiu Ba are basically doing their own thing, often fighting each other, you live or die, there is no unified opinion at all. This time Zhongzhou came to attack, and they promised to help me on the surface, but secretly they were afraid that they had received the benefits of Zhongzhou, and they would inevitably watch the fire from the other side. ”

"What a bunch of stupid thieves!" Ma Erhan couldn't help but scolded bitterly: "After leading troops to fight for so many years, I don't even understand such a simple truth as having cold lips and cold teeth. ”

Han Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not that they don't understand, but I'm afraid that if they do, it's the same." They don't think they're capable of helping us, they don't even believe we're going to win, or maybe they've long thought of joining Zhongzhou. I believe that if we lose this time, the Qiu Ba gang in Yuezhou will immediately surrender to Zhongzhou. ”

Ma Erhan pounded the table in an atmosphere, worried that he was out of shape and looked at Han Yuan again, but fortunately, the other party didn't care.

…

Just when the situation in Bei'an and Nanping was difficult, there was a major event happening in the state capital.
