"Ignore them, keep an eye on the enemy." Glancing over, Liu Jue turned to leave, and added lightly: "Unless he dares to find a dead cavalry to rush to the city!" ”

"No!" Seeing Liu Jue so calm, the team leader of the garrison felt at ease and gave up.

Ma Chao saw Liu Jue's figure disappear, the guards at the head of the city gradually became scarce, and the women's wall returned to stability. First stunned, I was ignored like this? Ma Chao was rare that he didn't get angry, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With his left hand raised, he commanded, "Withdraw!" Back to the station! ”

"Major General, just leave?" The subordinate asked with a puzzled face.

"Don't withdraw, dry consumption here?" Ma Chao sneered: "Do you really want to ride under my command to storm the city?" ”

Hundreds of riders came and went quickly, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust that disappeared into the field.

"Lan Hui, prepare to prepare, gather the guards, no one will take off their armor, and the horse will not leave the saddle!" Along the way, Liu Jue commanded solemnly.

"Is Brother Jue going to make a move?" Lan Hui was a little excited and said: "If you want to deal with the thief army, I swear to die!" ”

"No!" Liu Yu pondered slightly for a while, and there was some depression and unwillingness in his tone: "Prepare to abandon the city." Yixian County will not be able to support it for long, once the food is cut off, you and I will lead people to abandon the city and keep a useful body! ”

"This ......" Lan Hui was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Liu Jue would hold back such a sentence.

……

The remnant sun was like blood, the head of Chen Cang's city was a little bleak, and once again withstood the attack of the enemy army outside the city, and most of the Xia soldiers who defended the city collapsed around the city wall, physically and mentally exhausted. It was getting late, and the battle was over for the day, and they didn't want to move again until the enemy attacked again.

The sunset covered the sky, and the sky and the earth were red, shining on the city, and without the corpses and the flames of war that still remained, it would have been a wonderful and intoxicating picture. The thick smell of blood permeated the surroundings and made people sick, but the soldiers at the head of the city did not care, they had long been numb to it.

The thief army has been attacking the city for more than ten days, and Chen Cang's attack and defense are like a meat grinder-like battlefield, ruthlessly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides. Han Sui and Ma Teng never imagined that the defeated army in the city was so resilient that they could hold out to this point.

After such a long time, the Liangzhou coalition forces outside the city really tried their best this time, without sparing the slightest hand, and did not attack for a day. But as a result, the Xia army in the city held on, even if there were heavy casualties. Seeing that the city was crumbling, there were siege warriors rushing to the head of the city every day to fight with the Xia pawns, but there was only a trace of it, and the city could not be broken.

To this day, it has been a failure again. The Liang army was also exhausted, the soldiers' fighting spirit was almost exhausted, both sides were hanging on their last breath, and the victory or defeat was almost clear.

The Liang army was killed and wounded, and there were more than 5,000 people. The situation of the Xia army was naturally not much better, and the soldiers of Xubu Chiti were divided into several waves, taking turns to defend the city, relying on the city, and after such a long time, there were 2,000 people killed in the direct battle, and there were countless wounded.

Almost all of the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city were wounded, and now there are less than 6,000 soldiers in the city who can fight, and the combat strength is worrying.

Duan Ling was in the same state as his subordinates around him, leaning on the pillar of the city tower, looking tired, his eyelids were constantly trembling, and sleepiness was surging like a tide, and he couldn't help but want to close his eyes. Just holding on, looking at the fiery clouds floating in the air, a little trance.

The sound of the rubbing of military armor sounded, Duan Ling didn't care, he knew which general must be patrolling the city defense again. Until a rather majestic figure covered his vision, his eyes widened, and he saw Liu Qiu standing in front of him, staring at him with a cold face, looking up at it, Liu Qiu, who was already tall, was even taller.

"General!" Duan Ling propped himself up and wanted to get up and salute.

was stopped by Liu Qiu, squatted down on his knees, and patted Duan Ling's shoulder: "It's hard!" Rest well! ”

"No!" The kindness on Liu Qiu's serious face made Duan Ling a little flattered.

"We have all seen your combat performance these days, which is very good!" I haven't laughed for a long time, and the smile on the corner of Liu Qiu's mouth is a little unkind: "When the war is over, I will go to the king and ask for credit for you!" ”

"General Xie!" Duan Ling was a little nervous in the face of Liu Qiu, a major general of the royal family.

Patting Duan Ling on the shoulder again, this is the action that Liu Yuan encourages his courtiers to do, and now he has slowly learned it. It's a really good feeling. Liu Qiu left, inspecting the rest of the city, leaving Duan Ling, who was a little stunned.

"Great Sima! I wonder if the thieves will attack so frantically tomorrow? "General's Mansion," Uhuali said in a hoarse voice to Subu Chiyi.

Over the past few days, as the commander of the army, Xu Bu Chiyi has been stable, but the pressure is not small, and of course his heart will not be as calm and light as he showed on his face.

Playing with the jade dagger that Liu Yuan had rewarded, he patiently wiped it and asked, "How are the soldiers?" ”

"After fighting hard for so long, they are almost collapsing, and after days of high-intensity fighting, I am afraid that the last general will not be able to hold on!" Uhuali replied in a low voice.

There was no obvious change in expression on Su Bu Chiti's face, and he muttered for a moment and ordered: "You lead people to contain all the corpses and burn them in a centralized manner, the weather is hot and dry, so as not to cause epidemics!" ”

"No! That's it! Wu Huali said directly, and was about to turn around, but was stopped.

"How much more rations are there in the city?"

Speaking of this, Wu Huali's face was a little ugly, and he replied solemnly: "This is the biggest problem, the rear grain road is disturbed by enemy cavalry, almost paralyzed, and supplies cannot be transported. Now the food used by the city's *** army is less than two days! ”

"There's only the next day's food!" Xu Bu Chiyi let out a long sigh, and his face finally showed a little emotion: "It seems that we don't have much time!" ”

"Da Sima!" Seeing Subu Chiyi's reaction, Wu Huali couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart: "You said before that you had a plan to break the enemy, but now, is the time ripe?" ”

Glancing at Wu Huali, Xu Bu Chiyi asked rhetorically: "The weather is so hot and dry, and the enemy village is standing in an overgrown place, you say, how about we set a fire?" ”

"Fire attack?" Wu Huali muttered and looked at Xu Bu Chiyi: "Aren't Ma and Han easy to match, will they be defenseless?" ”

"You stand down first!" Without answering Uhuali, Su Bu Chiyi's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought deeply.

Under the shroud of darkness, in the east city of Chencang, there are a full two thousand Xia soldiers here, silently staying in the urn city. Judging by his expression, there was not much fatigue from the fierce battle.

"Da Sima, even if the city battle was critical before, you didn't use these two thousand sharp soldiers, when are you going to use them?" The three of them stood on the city wall, and Liu Qiu asked softly.

"Now, how many cattle and horses are concentrated in the city?" Instead of answering, he asked.

"Coupled with the slowly transported from the rear, there are more than 200 cattle, and there are still more than 2,000 war horses!" Liu Qiu looked at Xu Bu Chiyi curiously: "The food is insufficient, Da Sima wants to kill cattle and horses as military food!" ”

"Prepare more flammable materials such as grease and tail of ox and horsetail!"

"You want to learn from the Ancient Tian Dan Po Yan Fire Ox Formation!" Hearing this, Liu Qiu and Wu Huali glanced at each other, and their eyes lit up.

"Nope! It should be the Fire Horse Formation! ”
