The loss of Qingbei County was a small hole in the defense line in the south for Xihao Kingdom. However, this small mouth is extremely small at present, and it can not play a big role, after all, it is only a small county town in Jiuhe County, and other places do not mean to divide troops and retreat.

This is only the first line of defense, although it is important, but for the entire Jiuhe County, the county seat is the most important thing.

Treating this matter, the remaining generals of Jiuhe County attach great importance to it, it doesn't matter if they lose one or two counties, if Jiuhe County is lost, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Ziyun Country, and another county behind it is where Ziyun Kingdom Kyoto is located.

In the county government of Jiuhe County, more than a dozen soldiers were seated with serious faces. One of the leaders clasped the table with his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Qingbei County has been lost, and the next target of the enemy army should be Honghe County, do you think we need to increase troops to Honghe?" ”

"General, a certain general thinks that it is not possible to increase troops. The situation of Honghe and Qingbei is general, the wall is not high, the land is not wide, and the grain and grass are also insufficient. We need to concentrate our forces, as long as the city of Kukawa is not lost, the enemy army will definitely not be able to threaten Kyoto. A general said.

As soon as he finished speaking, another general immediately retorted: "General, the last general thinks that he wants to increase his troops, if he leaves it alone, how will the soldiers of other counties and counties treat us, thinking that if we give up on them, it is very likely that after losing a few county seats, the rest of the county towns will not be able to defend, I am afraid that they will surrender to the enemy one after another, and then the enemy soldiers will be able to come to my Jiuhe County without blood." ”

"What Captain Qi said is extremely true, and reinforcements must not be withheld. Although the increase in troops may be consumed by the enemy army layer by layer, and vice versa, we will also consume the opponent layer by layer. The defender of the city is preferred, and in the end, if the other party really hits the city of Jiuhe County, the loss must be not small, we rely on the high walls of the city, and the chance of defending is greater. ”

"Do you have anything to add?" The general looked around.

The so-called pros and cons have been clarified, and everyone naturally knows which plan to choose, so they said: "Everything is up to the general." ”

"Okay, then we'll increase the troops. However, I have a total of about 20,000 troops in Jiuhe County, how many should I send there? ”

"This ....." Many people don't know how much it is suitable, but the general who refused to send troops just now said: "Five thousand is enough, plus the original strength of Honghe County, as long as the command is appropriate, it will definitely be able to block the pace." ”

The one stood up: "General, the last general is willing to lead the troops forward, there are people, Honghe County is here!" ”

"Okay, the safety of Honghe County will be handed over to Captain Yu, and General Ben must not be disappointed."

"Whoa."

Jiuhe County urgently deployed to prevent Liu Feiyun's army from attacking.

It's just that they are waiting for a tight battle, but what they are waiting for is Liu Feiyun and they have not moved for a long time. Since Liu Feiyun and the others entered Qingbei County, except for training and standing guard, they have not made any other movements, as if they are not ready to conquer again.

As for what Liu Feiyun is doing at the moment?

He really enjoyed the coolness of spring, appreciated the infinite beauty of the spring breeze, felt the vitality, and there was a saying, he was sleeping with his head covered.

Liu Wei and the others naturally knew Liu Feiyun's virtue, and no one came to disturb them, unless there was really something that could not be solved. And Jin Bi, every time he came, he was blocked by Liu Yi at the door, and he said: "My lord is studying the battle plan, so I shouldn't disturb him." ”

At first, Jin Bi still believed it, but after a while, he became suspicious, and when he got to the back, he didn't have to see it with his own eyes, he could guess it. But he wouldn't be stupid enough to accuse Liu Feiyun, you must know that none of his subordinates made any remarks, and even had the meaning of support.

Neither side sent anyone out to test it, and they all cowered in the city, estimating that Liu Feiyun would not move, and it was impossible for the other party to make any moves.

In this way, it was calm for half a month, because the other battlefields were still half-dead, and the upper authorities began to put pressure on Liu Feiyun frequently, asking him why he did not send troops and why Jiuhe County had not been defeated.

If you can, Liu Feiyun really wanted to point to Zhu Hongtian's nose and said: "Don't you have some brains, it's still good to be able to take down a county, you look at the front line, hundreds of thousands of troops are not without achievements." It's all equal forces, and there are even a lot more than the other side, why do you always hold on to me. ”

No, Liu Feiyun didn't pay attention to this holy decree after taking it. The spies reported that Honghe had increased his troops by 5,000, a total of nearly 7,000 troops, and he was now only less than 20,000 men, and forcibly attacking the city was definitely looking for death.

At most, it is just a few attempts, and to make sure that it is not within the range of the bow and arrow, use the mouth to insult and see if you can lure the other person out of the city. If you do it outside the city, you can use some tricks, such as ambushes, arrow arrays, and so on.

It's a pity that the other party is not as good as he wants, and he is very tolerant, even if the people sent by Liu Feiyun scold him badly, he is indifferent.

There is no chance, so it can only continue to delay, anyway, Liu Feiyun is not in a hurry. As for the frontal battlefield, if you want to make meritorious contributions, then you can think of it yourself.

Maybe it's because of the geographical location, I don't know what the structure of this planet and this 'solar system' is, or maybe it's because the warm air came earlier this year, and the cool willow clouds of spring didn't enjoy it for too long, and the air began to fill with a trace of heat. And after a heavy rain, the sun instantly tells you about your passion.

This person, once you enjoy it, you can't go out with a warm coat and woolen blanket in winter, and you can't go out with short-sleeved ice cubes in summer, and you will gradually become more and more unable to stand the cold and heat. No, it started to heat a little, and Liu Feiyun felt a little uncomfortable.

Because I was too lazy to go out, I added a block of ice directly to the room, and then covered it with a woolen blanket, so that I felt comfortable.

"Liu Yi, what's the matter?" Liu Feiyun woke up and was still lying on the bed, and said to Liu Yiyi, who knocked on the door and came in.

"Gu Lord, that Jin Bi came here just now, urging you to use troops to Honghe County, but I prevaricated with the reason that you are studying the battle plan."

This reason has been used almost rotten, but Jin Bi really can't help it, if he insists on disturbing Liu Feiyun, Liu Feiyun can turn his head and impose the crime of not sending troops on him, who let him disturb Liu Feiyun, Liu Feiyun can say that he has an idea just now, just because you broke in.

However, Liu Feiyun also understands that this Jin Bi is estimated not to give up, and will definitely wait at the door from time to time when he is not 'thinking'.

This is also one of the main reasons why Liu Feiyun has been reluctant to go out recently.

"Don't worry about him, let's do it first, I really can't hide when the time comes."

Recently, the soldiers have been training, but he is really reluctant to send troops to attack the city, and even if he can capture it, there will definitely be a lot of losses. As for why you don't use the help of the Yanhuang Empire? It's better not to use it, and there will always be something suspicious if you use it too much.

Liu Yi nodded, indicating that he would stop Jin Bi when he came back next, and then Liu Yi told Liu Feiyun: "Gu Lord, the empire's construction in Nanhaizhou has begun to take shape, do you want to take some time to take a look?" ”

Liu Feiyun was still a little interested, but time did not allow, and thinking of the distance, he shook his head: "It's better to wait, when the time comes, go with Xiaoxue and them clearly, the empire will also step up the upgrading of ships, such a long distance will be a big test for people in the interior." ”

"Rest assured, the research department is growing stronger and more innovative, and I believe that it will soon be able to produce ships that are both fast and smooth on the ground."

"Hmm."

Liu Feiyun believes that people in this era do not lack creativity and hands-on ability, they just lack the idea of new things. In the Yanhuang Empire, there is no shackle of thought, and the sparks that collide with each other make science and technology change with each passing day.

"That's right." The Yanhuang Empire has never stopped exploring the sea, and Liu Feiyun asked, "Has the new continent been discovered?" ”

"No, except for some larger islands, the mainland has not been found again, and it is all a vast sea."

"If you can't force it, take your time, one day, this world will be explored by us."

Liu Feiyun smiled and revealed this topic, how big this world is so far cannot be completely determined, but according to the existing data, the scope of their exploration is connected to the Central Plains and other regions, it is estimated that it is not even one-tenth, or even one-twentieth, and there are incomparably vast areas waiting for them.

The war has not stopped, and Liu Wei and others will try it from time to time, but it is just a test. Although the army had crossed the Honghe River safely and set up camp not far from Honghe County, the army of Honghe County chose to completely retreat, ignoring them who crossed the river, and seemed to have decided to fight the city wall attack and defense if they wanted to fight.

In fact, the soldiers of Shanghonghe County at the head of the wall are not in their hearts, and no one who has been provoked but can not fight back, but they will panic. But their own general gave a death order, even if it was really unbearable, they had to listen, and as for taking something to plug their ears, they didn't have to think about it.

Yu Duwei stood at the head of the wall, he really wanted to order a charge against the enemy troops outside, according to the spies, the enemy troops who crossed the river were only more than 10,000 people, and only about 3,000 appeared in front of the city gate.

But he didn't dare, even if he was sure, he couldn't afford any risk.

"Pass the order, strengthen the guard, and don't give the enemy any chance to take advantage of it." This is all Captain Yu can do, looking at the enemy who came and went freely, gritting his teeth.

After returning after another temptation, Liu Wei returned to Qingbei County by boat to report the recent situation to Liu Feiyun, and finally said: "My lord, Honghe County has been stubborn, shall we go on like this?" If you don't try to storm the city, so many times of paralysis, you may be able to rush up to the city tower unexpectedly. ”

It may be possible, but the price will definitely not be small, Liu Feiyun directly vetoed it: "This is not the best policy, even if it succeeds, there will definitely be many casualties, this is just a small Honghe County, we must take it at the lowest cost." Wait, maybe the right time will come soon. ”

Although Liu Wei is not afraid of death, Liu Feiyun has already decided that he can only act according to orders. And in his heart, Liu Feiyun's words are all right in this regard, he just needs to do it.
