Early the next morning, when the 3,000 allied troops outside the city of Qixian had finished breakfast, the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Red Turban Army couldn't help but attack frantically towards the city wall of Qixian not far away under the command of Wang Quan and Meng Haima and others.

In the face of the crazy attack of the Red Turban Army, although there are not many soldiers and horses defending the city of the Deng and Xu clans, these soldiers and generals of these clans, under the cooperation of fathers, generals, sons, and brothers, can't help but burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness.

……

"Damn it! Everyone is on me, if you can't beat the county seat, you can't retreat! When the attack was frustrated and the Red Turban soldiers attacking on the front line were blocked again and again, the anxious and angry Wang Quan couldn't help roaring like this, and formed a hundred-man overseer team behind his own soldiers.

After all, the city of Sui County is his territory, even if Meng Haima said that the sky is falling, but when it comes to attacking the city and gnawing hard bones, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on Meng Haima alone.

Therefore, Zongguan was reluctant in his heart, but in order to take down the county town and take his lair, Wang Quan had to endure the reluctance in his heart, and let his soldiers use their own flesh and blood to attack this city that once belonged to him.

"Kill!" The roar of nearly a thousand red turban soldiers under the royal tent was simply earth-shattering. Sure enough, under the persecution of Wang Quan, these red turban soldiers couldn't help but completely burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness.

However, the clan soldiers of the Deng and Xu clans, especially the simple opponents, under the system of fathers, generals and sons, the degree of tacit understanding that broke out of these nearly 1,000 clan soldiers is simply unimaginable.

Fathers, sons, and brothers work together, in such a situation, unless the damage of the soldiers of the Deng and Xu clans reaches a degree that they cannot bear at all, otherwise with the blessing of blood relations, it is impossible for these soldiers of the two clans to have deserters.

Therefore, when the fierce white-knuckle battle broke out, the soldiers defending the city on the side of the county town often fell to the elder brother, and the younger brother greeted him with hatred; When the son fell, the father met him with hatred. Therefore, despite the tragic battle, with the blessing of blood ties and hatred, the coalition composed of these 3,000 red turban soldiers and soldiers could not help but be repulsed again and again.

And because the 3,000 red turban soldiers are coalition forces, it is the first time that they have cooperated with each other. Therefore, under the circumstance that the two sides are not familiar with and do not trust much, this so-called coalition is actually in a process of fighting separately.

Therefore, in the end of the battle, the ratio of battle losses between the Red Turban Army and the soldiers of the Deng and Xu clans could not help but reach an astonishing four to one.

And this means that every four Red Turban soldiers killed in battle can fight out a soldier of the Deng and Xu clans. And what made the king even more helpless was that two of the four people killed in the battle were soldiers and horses under his tent. Two-quarters sounds fair, but don't forget that he only has a thousand soldiers and horses.

Therefore, after a short hour and a half of fierce battles, Wang Quan couldn't help but sadly find that at this time, he had almost no soldiers and horses to fight.

"Withdraw your troops, Mingjin... Withdraw troops! Finally, after another quarter of an hour had passed, when the battle damage of his men was close to thirty percent, the royal power, which had no hope of victory, finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to withdraw his troops to the people beside him.

And after such an order was issued, Meng Haima, who heard the news, waved his hand expressionlessly, and then asked his soldiers to withdraw from the front line as soon as possible.

After all, Wang Quan is not his brother, and compared with Wang Quan's illusory friendship, it is naturally the lives of his soldiers that are more important.

"Hey, it seems that this battle is really not going to be good!" After his soldiers withdrew from the front line one after another, Meng Haima glanced at the city of Qixian not far away, and then looked south at the wilderness where heaven and earth were connected in the distance, but he couldn't help but sigh like this.

However, after sighing these words, Meng Haima couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the north, and a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes.

……

A few hours later, in the afternoon, under the command of Wang Quan, the 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Miyang City in Tangzhou finally arrived outside the city of Qixian City, and smoothly merged with the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Wang Quan and Meng Haima's combined army.

At this point, the number of soldiers and horses of the Red Turban Army outside the city of Qixian County has finally reached 5,000.

Therefore, after the arrival of this support army, under the instigation of the royal power, the confident Red Turban soldiers couldn't help but launch another large-scale attack on the city wall of Yuxian County.

However, it was disappointing that because of the low morale caused by the setback of the attack in the morning, the huge combined forces of Wang Quan and Meng Haima still failed to achieve any brilliant results in the siege battle in the afternoon. Moreover, after the Deng and Xu clans took advantage of their prestige in the county town to mobilize the people to help defend the city, the coalition army suffered a big loss in the siege battle.

Therefore, when the time was approaching in the evening and the sun was about to set, the royal power once again withdrew his troops and horses from the front line until the critical point.

And their withdrawal this time also officially announced the plan of the coalition forces to quickly recapture the county town in one go, and it became a bubble again.

……

In the dark night, in the camp of Meng Haima's Chinese army, because of the setback of the attack during the day, Meng Haima and his generals couldn't help but secretly discuss the future development plan again.

"General, it seems that this time our plan will also change, this Deng and Xu clan soldiers are obviously not easy opponents to deal with. With the combat power of these clan soldiers and the grain and grass left in his lair by the royal power, he wants to break through the county town and take these clan soldiers. ”

"With the soldiers and horses in our hands, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days at the earliest. But if it drags on in this county town for seven or eight days, and there are no soldiers and horses stationed in Xinye City, under the eyes of Badulu, something will definitely happen! ”

"After all, the rebellion of the Deng and Xu clans, eight or nine is not far from ten, and it is promoted behind the back of the answer. And in such a situation, how could Badulu miss such a good opportunity! A general surnamed Li, nicknamed Zhi Duoxing, couldn't help but analyze Meng Haima after the meeting began.

And hearing this Zhi Duoxing's analysis, some generals who were originally unwilling to contribute to the king's power, after looking at each other, couldn't help but stand up and echo: "General, what the military advisor said is right. The Tartar who lost Badulu has been staring at us all the time. ”

"The lives of the brothers are very precious, we can't let the lives of the brothers be lost here in vain!"

There are so many people who echo this that the people who speak alone account for two-thirds of them at once. So in such a situation, Meng Haima, who needed to consider the interests and ideas of his subordinates, couldn't help but look at Zhi Duoxing, who was a military advisor, after pressing his hand to make everyone quiet: "Lao Li, I also understand what you said." ”

"But today is different! Not to mention that we have lost ground now, its strength is even weaker. In such a situation, if we don't cooperate with his royal power, then how can we protect ourselves in this troubled world? ”

"This ......" Hearing Meng Haima's words, the generals under Meng Haima's tent couldn't help but bow their heads and be silent after looking at each other.

Yes, now they are just a bunch of lost dogs. If they don't cooperate with other people's kings, but only want to preserve their own power, then when the Tartars kill them, who should they cooperate with?

Thinking like this, all the generals couldn't help but sigh in unison.

However, it was precisely at this time, when the generals and officials were powerless to sigh, Li Xin, who was a military officer, couldn't help but take the initiative to break the silence and said loudly to everyone: "General, do you think that with us and the royal power, we can really resist the loss of Badulu?" ”

Li Xin asked like this, and then glanced at the generals and officials in the tent who had no confidence and confidence, and then couldn't help but say to himself: "How is it possible." With us and the royal power, we can only add up to the power of a mere state. How could it be possible to resist the loss of Badulu! ”

"Therefore, the reason why he answered that Badulu is not attacking us now is not because he is afraid of the alliance we form with the royal power, but because he is afraid of the real controller of Nanyang Mansion, Zhang Shihua."

"Yes, it is precisely because Zhang Shihua still has the black-clothed army in Nanyang. Therefore, he replied that Badulu did not dare to attack Nanyang easily. After all, Zhang Shihua and the black-clothed army under his account had defeated Taibuhua and his 40,000 elite soldiers in a dignified manner. In the face of such an opponent, only these 50,000 imperial court soldiers and horses answered the loss of Badulu, before the situation was unclear, naturally he would not dare to start a war lightly. ”

"So General, since our alliance with the royal power can't protect ourselves, then why don't we find someone who can protect us at this time?" After saying this, Li Xin couldn't help but turn his gaze to Meng Haima, looking forward to Meng Haima's decision.

However, when Meng Haima heard Li Xin's words, after being silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Cooperate with him Zhang Shihua." Naturally, I have thought about this matter. But you have to know that since he Zhang Shihua led his troops back to the south. Because of the successive victories, and his financial resources soared, he began to recruit troops and horses under his rule. ”

"And according to the analysis of some of the secret agents under my account, up to now, the black-clothed army under his Zhang Shihua account has at least nearly 20,000 horses. Think about it, at the beginning, he Zhang Shihua was able to defeat the 40,000 army of Taifu in Xiangcheng with only more than 10,000 men and horses in his hands. ”

And at this time, his strength almost doubled. With my current strength, do I really have any qualifications for Zhang Shihua to cooperate? ”

"After all, he Zhang Shihua is a really ambitious person, and he chose to cooperate with him when we didn't even have the power to protect ourselves.

"So if you don't have to, compared with him Zhang Shihua, there is no doubt that Wang Quan is the best partner for our people!" Saying this, Meng Haima couldn't help but turn his gaze to the generals under his tent.

And when he saw that all the generals under his tent showed a look of agreement with his heartfelt words, Meng Haima couldn't help but nod imperceptibly.

And judging from the fact that Meng Haima attaches great importance to the opinions and ideas of his subordinates, it has to be said that after experiencing a series of fiascos, Meng Haima has indeed grown a lot compared to the past. Of course, this kind of growth can also be said to be forced by the situation.

After all, after experiencing a series of fiascos, Meng Haima's prestige in the hearts of his soldiers can be said to have fallen to the bottom. Under such circumstances, if Meng Haima still insists on going his own way as before, then what awaits him is only the betrayal of his relatives.

But at this time, let's not talk about Meng Haima's side, but talk about Meng Haima, the protagonist Zhang Shihua they just talked about.

Zhang Shihua, who attaches great importance to the role of intelligence and has established the prototype of a secret intelligence organization, is naturally clear about everything that has happened in Nanyang Dengzhou in recent days.

After all, Dengzhou is not far from Nanyang Fucheng, and you can even run a round trip in four hours.

Therefore, after learning that the coalition army formed by Wang Quan and Meng Haima could not recapture the city of Nanyang in one fell swoop, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in Nanyang Fucheng, couldn't help but let his soldiers secretly transfer troops to Nanyang Fucheng, and suddenly increased the strength of the defenders of Nanyang Fucheng to 9,000 people.

And what is even more invariant is that at this time, at the end of Meng Haima's meeting. Zhang Shihua couldn't help but discuss the affairs of Dengzhou with Zhao Ziyu, who was a military advisor, in the study of the General's Mansion.

……

At this time, in the study room of the Nanyang General's Mansion, there were only Zhang Shihua and Zhao Ziyu.

So after Zhao Ziyu came to Zhang Shihua's study in three steps and two steps, Zhang Shihua, who had been waiting for him, waved his hand to sit down and asked someone to serve him a cup of tea, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but look at him and said: "Ziyu, over there in Dengzhou, it seems that the Deng and Xu clans and Wang Meng are going to stalemate." ”

"So I concluded that after the stalemate reached a certain level, he would definitely choose to go north if he lost Badulu. After all, such an opportunity is really rare, and if this opportunity is missed, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to answer the question of Badulu and then want to dye Daoyang. ”

"So I think we might have to do something before we lose the Badulu troops to the north!" Zhang Shihua, who said this in a firm tone, couldn't help but clench his fists.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Ziyu looked at Zhang Shihua with a solemn face, but couldn't help asking: "General, what do you mean, 'at this time' to send troops to Dengzhou?" ”
