On the fourth day of the seventh month, the day after the decisive battle.

At about noon, Sima Hong led the White Tiger Legion and two friendly armies, a total of more than 30,000 soldiers, with a heavy baggage, to Kanfeng City.

Kanfeng City, is the closest city to Cangguo, thanks to the economic development of Cangguo, more and more caravans settled here, resulting in the people along the way also followed the light, the original pool of backwater Kanfeng City, become more and more active, attracting more and more people's attention.

In the close ranks of the White Tiger Legion, there was also a prisoner cart.

It contained the captured Sheng army generals, all of whom were gagged and tied up.

"You say, is the Qilin Army reliable this time? Can it really make it? Sima Hong turned his face sideways and asked a general next to him.

The general is not someone else, but when he was in the expedition to the Bandit Mountain Range, Liu Dingshan, the owner of the Blood Crow Village, has been performing very well since he was absorbed, and after the Northern Expedition, he has now become a 3,000-person general, plus he has often read books and practiced in the past six months, and he can be regarded as a general who can take charge of himself.

Hearing Sima Hong's inquiry, Liu Dingshan looked hesitant and said, "It should be...... Can you? The Qilin Army can even chase after 100,000 troops, but can't it handle only 20,000 people? ”

Hearing this, Sima Hong also nodded, he also thought so in his heart, but he was a little uneasy, just talking to people and asking for peace of mind.

Everyone sees the combat effectiveness of the Qilin Army, and now they are rushing to the aid of the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Xuanwu Legion, and there should be no problem with the tens of thousands of left-behind troops.

Kanfeng City was only a dozen miles away from the fortress, and it only took one afternoon for 30,000 soldiers to set up camp under the city.

The defenders of Kanfeng City were shocked, and there were more than 3,000 defenders in the entire city, how could they resist the more than 30,000 Cang troops carrying siege equipment?

It was a special period, and the guards did not dare to abandon the city and flee without orders, so they had to retreat.

At sunset, Sima Hong ordered the army to attack the city, and dozens of siege vehicles were loaded with stone bullets and tobacco bombs, and smashed against the city wall.

When part of the city wall collapsed, just when all the defenders thought that the Cang army was going to send troops to attack, and their hearts were like ashes, Feng Zhonglong was pushed out, and Sima Hong asked the defenders of Kanfeng City to sacrifice the city in lieu of shouting.

If Yang Mu is here, he will definitely feel very familiar, because this is exactly a method introduced in "Sun Bin's Art of War", and its idea is roughly similar to that of Wai Sanque Yi, which is to give the enemy an acceptable reason to retreat.

So, the defenders of Kanfeng City, who were already desperate, were amnesty, and the guards were also relieved, he was not stupid, of course he knew that this was not true, but at this time, would anyone still care if it was true?

After abandoning the city and escaping, if the above blames it, it is directly said that Feng Zhonglong ordered the opening of the city, and the guards are just acting on orders, so that although there is a crime of dereliction of duty, but a small life can be saved, and thousands of soldiers under it do not have to give their lives in vain.

Immediately, the defender led the troops to withdraw.

As a result, Sima Hong led 30,000 soldiers and successfully stationed in Kanfeng City.

Of course, this is only the first step, and the purpose of his exit from the city this time is not to attack Shengguo, but to cooperate with the Blue Dragon Legion to cut through the road to the border of Dongguo.

At that time, the Blue Dragon Legion was responsible for advancing, the White Tiger Legion and friendly forces were responsible for assisting and defending the city, and the Kirin Legion, which was not good at siege, was responsible for facing a large army.

In this way, the three armies were completely combined.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, the Qilin Legion and the Suzaku Legion flanked the Sheng army outside Fuansai before and after, and won a great victory, beheading more than 13,000 people.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Sheng army, which had been confronting the Xuanwu Legion, fled, and when it retreated, the Xuanwu Legion was beheaded by more than 4,000 people, and when the Qilin Legion arrived, it was in vain.

At this point, the siege of the border of Cangguo was completely resolved.

The Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion, which were far away from the enemy's territory, had no worries at all, and the Qilin Legion also joined up with the Blue Dragon Legion a day later, defeated the besieging army on the side, occupied the six surrounding cities one after another, and then faced the most important city in the west of Shengguo - Leyuan City.

Why is it the most important city?

In fact, a long time ago, when Shengguo had not lost the land of Yanguo, Leyuan City was the junction of the hinterland of Shengguo and the place where Yanguo is located now, which is equivalent to communicating the two major parts of Shengguo.

It's just that over the past few decades, as the Sheng Kingdom has continued to occupy an advantage in the war with the Dong Kingdom, the national border has been pushed further west, and the Sheng Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom have not had much contact, and the heavy mountain is the last national border, so the strategic position of this city in the country has also declined slightly.

More than thirty years ago, it was given to a prince, and later caused a small rebellion, and after it was quelled, it was directly taken over by the imperial court and arrived as a backup to the war with the Dong Kingdom.

For the Blue Dragon Legion and the Qilin Legion, it is a city that must be conquered, because after conquering it, the small cities behind it are insignificant, and they have the capital to compete with the Shengguo border army, and it is not an empty word to welcome back His Majesty the Emperor.

Just when the two legions were thinking about conquering this fortified city in this way, the Shengguo Imperial Court had already turned the sky upside down.

The army is defeated!

The fifteenth army was defeated by 50,000 Cangguo soldiers on the frontal battlefield, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and only a few hundred people escaped back!

After that, the bad news came one after another, and the rest of the garrisons were also swept away one after another, and the Cang** team advanced all the way to the north, and had captured more than a dozen cities one after another, and the soldiers were under the city of Leyuan!

For the monarchs and ministers of the Sheng Kingdom, this is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

If it is said that the 130,000 soldiers were wiped out overnight some time ago, it can be attributed to the sneak attack, then this time, what happened to the 150,000 army being defeated head-on?

It's like a mighty tiger that has been defeated by a kitten, and it's unbelievable.

In less than half a month, the entire 300,000 army was wiped out, which was definitely a very big blow to Sheng Guo, and within three or five years, it was absolutely impossible to recover, and once there was a war with Dong Guo, it would fall into a very bad situation.

Soon, there was a lot of discussion among the people, saying that the Cang** team had the help of the wind god, and a gust of wind blew the Sheng army to pieces, so it was defeated by the Cang army.

Some people also say that the soldiers of the Cang** team, all seven feet tall and with four arms on their backs, can drive fierce beasts into battle to kill the enemy.

In short, there is a lot of discussion among the people, and all kinds of speculations and rumors are rampant.

Of course, the imperial court did not believe these rumors.

But what made it difficult for Sheng Guojun and his ministers to choose was that there were two real versions!
