"Dashuai, it's twenty-eight now, and there is no news from Xuan Yingwei's side, could it be that something has gone wrong?" In the tent of the central battalion commander outside the Yumen Pass, Shi Jian, the commander of the Left Route Army who came to the meeting, asked a little distressed. For him, as time passed, his pressure increased, the west was the straight road connecting the sandbank, and the Guiyi army was constantly moving during this time, constantly transporting all the gold and silver in Suzhou City to Guazhou and Shazhou and other Guiyi army territories, and with it was a large number of Guiyi army. Up to now, the total strength of the Guiyi army that has arrived in Suzhou has exceeded 150,000, which is almost half of the total strength of the Guiyi army. And the Left Route Army where he belonged was really uncomfortable watching the Guiyi Army advancing eastward every day.

"General Shi, don't be in a hurry, there was the latest news last night, Zhang Sheng of the Anxi camp has received an order from Zhao Si, asking him to lead the team to Juyanze, ambush in the northwest of Suzhou, and choose the opportunity to attack the city defense." After listening to Shi Jian's complaints, Liu Xuan picked up a piece of information and handed it to him with a smile: "So, Xuan Yingwei's side is only moving in the past two days, otherwise Anxi Ying will not go to Juyanze." ”

"There is a move on the side of Xuan Yingwei, should we also prepare? If we don't plan and arrange in advance, we are afraid that even if the plan of Xuanyingwei can be implemented, it will become a lone army because of the loss of support. Shi Jian scanned the information and continued: "And time is running out, according to the time given to Xuan Yingwei by the marshal, there are only two days left. ”

"Okay, let's gather everyone here today to deal with this problem." Wan Yi stopped Shi Jian from continuing to finish speaking, cleared his throat and was about to continue, when a hurried report came from outside the tent: "Qiqi Marshal, Xuanying Wei is in a hurry." Immediately afterwards, a man dressed in local clothes walked in with the guard, handed over a piece of information and his own personal token, and said: "Marshal Qiqi, the secret guard of the Xuanying Guard Suzhou Branch has come to report on the order of the fourth commander of Zhao. ”

After Wan Yi took the token and verified his identity, he opened the letter and looked at it, nodded with a smile on his face: "The chief of staff immediately wrote an order and asked him to bring it back, saying that the military will make all preparations and wait for Xuan Yingwei to achieve great achievements." ”

Liu Xuan's side completed the writing of the order almost instantly, Wan Yi looked at it, stamped the seal and handed it to the Xuanying Guard, and then said: "There is detailed information from Xuanying's side, and the chief of staff will announce it below, and then we will discuss how to cooperate with Xuanyingwei's plan to arrange our main force." And with Liu Xuan's narration, the generals also understood Zhao Si's plan. It turned out that during this period of time, Zhao Si had already figured out everything in Suzhou City very clearly. And the focus is on the contact with Long Xuan, and also clarifies the intricate relationship between the various forces in the city. According to Zhao Si's description and plan, the second force of the Long family led by Long Xuan in the city decided to go to the side of the Tang Dynasty anyway, and explained the army and key points that he could control in the city. The two sides agreed to lead the forces in the city to open the south gate of Suzhou tomorrow night to welcome the Tiance army into the city. And they are responsible for solving the problem of the Long family's army, after the Tiance army entered the city, they led the army to encircle and annihilate the Guiyi army.

At the same time, Zhao Si's Xuanyingwei and the Flying Eagle Brigade and other forces of the Tiance Army will kill the diehards in the city tomorrow night, and arrange part of the troops to attack the headquarters of the Guiyi Army, creating chaos in the city, delaying time, and speeding up the pace of the Tiance Army entering the city. In this long plan, Zhao Si mentioned that they were ready to concentrate elite manpower and choose the opportunity to snipe Li Mingzhen, the commander of the Guiyi Army.

"Marshal, no, Zhao Si's plan was not originally like this, opening the south gate and our army entering the city at night is only afraid that it will cause large-scale chaos." Xue Wanli asked a little puzzled. However, his question made Wan Yi nod and said: "It seems that Zhao Si has also noticed the problem of the strength of the Guiyi army in the city, only at night will their huge forces be unable to be used in the city, and the troops stationed outside the city will not be able to support the city in time because of chaos, and the cavalry of the Ganzhou Uighurs stationed on the side of Juyanze will also be intercepted by the Anxi battalion, so that the deployment of the entire Guiyi army will be divided into three parts by night, and it will also give us a chance to break through." ”

"In that case, let's change the previous deployment according to Zhao Si's plan." After listening to Wan Yi's explanation, Xue Wanli said: "Tianyi and Qian Ning's troops will rush over from the rear tomorrow at the latest, so that the main force of our Western Expeditionary Army will all be concentrated, and there will be enough troops to attack in three ways." ”

"In this case, I order Shi Jian's Left Route Army to be responsible for solving the Guiyi Army outside Suzhou City, the attack time is time, once the rocket sent by the Xuanying Guard in the city is launched, you must launch an attack as soon as possible, cover the main force and seize the south gate of Suzhou in time. Keep in mind that the Flying Eagle Brigade inside the city can only hold out for a maximum of two quarters of an hour, and you must resist the counterattack of the Guiyi army outside the city within two quarters of an hour, and on the other hand, you must also join up with the Flying Eagle Brigade to hold the south gate until the main force arrives, and then reflexively besiege the Guiyi army outside the city. Wan Yi looked at Shi Jian and said, "This is the first step to start a war tomorrow night, so you must fight this battle well and not make any mistakes." ”

"Xue Wanli is in charge of our army's entry into the city, as the entry into the city, you need to do a good job in addition to entering the city as soon as possible, but also find a way to assist the Flying Eagle Brigade and Xuanying Wei to implement their plan, and leave as many Guiyi Army and Long Family Army in the city as possible. Since the Guiyi army troops in the city are the main force, Qian Ning's troops will also be under your command at that time. When the time comes, you will help the troops to command on the spot, so don't miss the opportunity. ”

"As for Ju Yanze's side, give it to Tianyi and Zhang Sheng, let Li Tianyi's army not come to Yumen Pass to gather, and enter Ju Yanze in concealment on the way, be sure to arrive at the designated location at the designated time, and this time the Uighurs must not be spared. Ponteqin's head must be brought back to me this time. After Wan Yi finished giving these instructions, he said: "The chief of staff immediately summarized what the commander just said into an order, and then all the corps immediately prepared to carry it out. Among them, because the Shi Jian Corps is responsible for attracting the enemy head-on, it needs to approach the enemy in concealment and not let the other party find out. ”

After Wan Yi finished his orders, Liu Xuan began to refine the orders, and began to study their respective connection times according to the deployment of each army on the sand table. and sent people to urge Qian Ning and Li Tianyi, who were still on the road, to speed up and reach the front line.

When the Xizheng Group Army began to formulate operational arrangements according to Zhao Si's plan, the Xuanying Guard in the city was also in the final stage. After making sure that all the plans were implemented, Zhao Si began to sit in a hidden place in the city, waiting for the arrival of the next night.

And in this day and night, Zhao Si's side continued to have secret guards come to report the specific progress, watching the information continue to meet his own purpose, Zhao Si also seemed to have found the years in the Bianliang area.

On the evening of June 30, the third year of the Apocalypse, when Wan Yi was standing outside the camp and staring at the night sky outside the northwest Saiwai in contemplation, Liu Xuan came over and handed him a cup of tea and said: "Marshal, don't worry, at present, all the armies are ready, and the armies of Tianyi and Qian Ning have also entered the designated position, just waiting for the signal in the city to come out." ”

"I'm not worried about the situation of the army, I'm thinking that we have fought all the way from the mainland of the Tang Dynasty to cater to the long-cherished wishes of the people of the Han family in the northwest for a hundred years, and the Central Plains has finally sent troops to rescue them, but why is the Guiyi army like this, treating us as enemies? I can understand that their high-level officials are doing this for the sake of their own powerful position, but I just don't know if the Han people in Guazhou and other places are as welcoming to us as Zhang Sheng and them. If so, then Zhang Sheng and they have been chased and intercepted by other ethnic groups for so many years, and they are treated as Tang Kou, why don't they lend a hand? ”

However, Wan Yi obviously didn't expect Liu Xuan to answer his question, and he didn't follow up after he asked and answered himself, but at this time, a shining light suddenly rose in the distance, rising into the sky, and the colorful light was eye-catching and dazzling in the night, spreading far away.

"Dashuai, it's started, Xuan Yingwei is starting to do it." Liu Xuan pointed to the bright light in the distance and smiled, "It looks like we can enter Suzhou tomorrow." But before he finished his words, Wan Yi took it and said in a deep voice: "You sent someone to inform the deputy prime minister that no, once Suzhou takes this place and Yumen Pass, it will inevitably become the front line of our army and the Guiyi Army, let him send someone over as soon as possible, whether it is military management or incorporating it into the territory of Hexi on the spot, we don't have the time and energy to manage government affairs, and we must take out twelve points of spirit to deal with the Guiyi Army." ”

Liu Xuan nodded, turned around and called the guards to quickly send someone to Ganzhou to summon the news, and at the same time faintly a little strange, his marshal didn't seem to be very optimistic about the next stage of the battle, or it was not that he was not optimistic, but he felt that the attack and defense would be easy in Suzhou.

Wan Yi saw Liu Xuan standing beside him and wanted to stop talking, knowing what he was thinking, and knowing what he was wondering, but he didn't explain much, some things need to be understood by himself, and he needs to discover by himself, once he is mentioned by others, then there is not much room for improvement.

Wan Yi and Liu Xuan were thinking about the following things in the camp, but at this time, Suzhou City had become a big whirlpool, since Xuan Yingwei raised smoke rockets to indicate that all the troops around Xuan Yingwei's plan were moving at the same time, Zhao Si also led the people of the Dragon Group to converge with the third team sent by Su Xiaohu and lurked quietly, preparing to attack Li Mingzhen when necessary, completely disrupting the command system of the Guiyi Army.

At this time, the south gate of Suzhou became the most chaotic and fierce place in the battle, the main force of the Flying Eagle Brigade broke through the joint counterattack of the Guiyi Army and the Longjia Army under the leadership of Su Xiaohu, and opened the gate, and even Su Xiaohu himself was stabbed in the fierce battle, but no one flinched at this time, and the group of soldiers of the Flying Eagle Brigade firmly held the gate with an opponent several times larger than himself, waiting for the roar that was getting closer and closer in the distance. Xue Wanli equipped the first corps with the latest weapons, and the elite troops at the front of the rush were almost all armed with crossbows, and this extremely fast firing weapon helped them quickly repel the enemy. And almost at the same time as the Flying Eagle Brigade seized the city gate, Shi Jian's left army began to storm the Guiyi army camp outside the city, the fierce artillery fire made the entire night sky extremely gorgeous, and under the continuous explosion of firelight, the soldiers of the Modao battalion rushed to the Guiyi army desperately, firmly attracted the deal to their side, and did not let the deal have the spare strength to support the south city gate, which provided a guarantee for Xue Wanli and Su Xiaohu to successfully join the army. And the Flying Eagle Brigade in the center of the whirlpool in this battle has undergone a severe test, there is no danger to defend in the South City Gate area, there are enemies on all sides, and the moment the city gate is opened, the opponent also understands the thoughts of the Tiance Army, so he almost storms the city gate at all costs, and does not mind casualties at all, which brings great trouble to Su Xiaohu's Flying Eagle Brigade.

"White stripe, go get me all your fucking mortars and blow me up these bastards." Su Xiaohu raised his hand and knocked a general of the Guiyi Army in front of him off his horse, and roared angrily at the captain of the second team of the Flying Eagle Brigade behind him. And the latter almost instantly answered his leader with action, "tom tom tom" continued to come out of the strange sound, after the violent explosion began to be heard in all directions, the fire rose to the sky, and the semicircle centered on the south city gate was surrounded, after the explosion, countless soldiers of the Guiyi Army and the Long Family Army were blown over by this sudden explosion, and the entire front was emptied.

"Well done, white stripes, keep blowing up, blow up this group of bitches." Su Xiaohu laughed, and began to shoot with the rest of the people. The Flying Eagle Brigade's method of firing was very different from that of regular troops, and instead of a three-stage shooting method, they each looked for cover, then separately looked for targets, and then shot the opponent they were aiming at to the ground. Therefore, although the gunfire was chaotic and had no continuity, in front of the eyes of the Flying Eagle Brigade, the enemy did not have much room to fight back, and he was constantly killed by bullets. It has been almost a tea hour since the start of the war, and the Guiyi army has not been able to get half a step close to the south city gate.

"Cheng Lin, go and see if the Guiyi army outside the city has come, if not, transfer all your manpower, the Guiyi army is estimated to take a fire attack, we won't be able to defend it for long." Su Xiaohu took a breath and began to change his deployment, it was too difficult for his gang to defend the southern city gate alone.

"Boss, I don't think so, although the Guiyi Army outside the city was dragged by the Modao Battalion, there are still small groups of troops coming up, and the pressure over there is also very great." Cheng Lin was the captain of the First Brigade of the Flying Eagle Brigade, and at this time, he yelled at Su Xiaohu from afar. Obviously, this kind of positional warfare is a short blow and a long blow for the Flying Eagle Brigade.

Cheng Lin's words made Su Xiaohu stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Bai Tiaozi, don't save ammunition and don't be reluctant to wear and tear mortars, concentrate all your strength for me, and take out all your belongings to fire at me." Su Xiaohu desperately ordered the mortar detachment to fire, this kind of small cannon with an extremely fast firing speed made the Guiyi Army unable to get close for a while, which was regarded as a relief for the Flying Eagle Brigade.

But Su Xiaohu's face became extremely solemn in the glow of the fire, and the faint sound between the explosions let him know that the Guiyi army on the opposite side had adjusted at this time, and in the face of endless troops, his subordinates were about to undergo a severe test. Suddenly, a spark appeared in the sky, heading towards his southern gate.

"Immediately withdraw to the city of Weng, and all troops immediately retreat." Su Xiaohu's roar made these Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers who were still shooting in the last second hide directly behind the walls of the urn city in the next second.

"Boss, the main force of our army has come up." Su Xiaohu was injured again because he beckoned his men to retreat, and his left arm was shot by a rocket, but at this time, he couldn't care if he was injured, and Cheng Lin's voice behind him made him ecstatic.
