Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After dusk, the Cangtou army lit hundreds of bonfires outside the north city of Ningyang, and all regiments and brigades fought bravely under the personal supervision of Li Fengyun, regardless of fatigue, and launched round after round of attacks on Ningyang City.

Li Fengyun, as always, led the Fengyun Regiment to fight into battle, personally serving as a stone, and his elegant white head was like the white tiger battle flag of the righteous army, inspiring the soldiers to fight bloodily with indomitable courage.

In the middle of the night, Li Fengyun was covered in blood, dragging a bloody long knife, and withdrew to the rear of the battle formation with the soldiers of the Fengyun Regiment for temporary repairs.

Yuan An hurriedly greeted him, handed over a pot of water, and said anxiously while watching Li Fengyun raise his head and drink freely, "According to the reports of various scouts, there is no Qi army of Zhang Xutuo on the north bank of the river, and there is no trace of the enemy army in the area from the lower reaches of Wenshui to the yellow flood area in the northeast of Juyeze. Yuan An frowned and shook his head again and again, "Could it be that Zhang Xutuo really returned to Qi County with the Qi army?" ”

"Don't leave anything to chance." Li Fengyun wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, then turned his head to look at the dark night sky in the northwest, and sneered, "If nothing else, Zhang Xutuo is near Juyeze, only more than a hundred miles away from us at most, and it only takes one night's effort, he can kill Ningyang City and give us a fatal blow." ”

"Where will he be hiding?"

"Order the scouts to search carefully in the direction of Maodudian in the east of Junozawa, especially paying attention to the line between Chengcheng and Rencheng." Li Fengyun waved his hand and said, "When we focus on the north of Wenshui and even the first line of Yushan in Jibei, we may have fallen for Zhang Xutuo's tricks. The more easily we are to overlook, the more likely it is to be a hiding place for the enemy. ”

Yuan An secretly screamed ashamed. Like most of the generals of the rebel army, he lacked actual combat experience, and at this critical moment of the war, a slight mistake would lead to a catastrophe, and of course he was nervous, but the more nervous he was, the easier it was to make mistakes. Such a simple judgment actually needed Li Fengyun's reminder to suddenly realize it, which made Yuan An ashamed.

Yuan An hurriedly left to convey the order.

Xu 13 walked over with Xiao Yi. Xu Shisan was also covered in blood, and before anyone arrived, the strong smell of blood had already reached his nose. Xiao Yi was clean, his armor was distinct, and there was no trace of fighting.

He did not go into battle to fight, because Li Fengyun did not allow him to participate in the siege battle. Attacking fortifications is different from cavalry warfare, and its danger is a hundred times and a thousand times that of a horse battle, and there is no luck at all at that moment, and what you fight for is your life. Xiao Yi can't die, if Xiao Yi dies, Li Fengyun doesn't know how much crisis this bad luck will bring to the righteous army. Xiao Yat was still eager to try, but when he saw the bloody and terrifying siege scene, and saw a group of soldiers fall under the city wall, he was afraid. His mission to the rebels is to act as a secret messenger for the Choi clan, not to rebel and kill people with a group of vicious traitors. Since you are a secret envoy, you must have the style and consciousness of a secret envoy, and you must not "be willing to fall" and become a thief who everyone shouts and beats.

"Ming Gong, if we continue to fight like this, our losses will be bigger and bigger."

Xu Shisan's rare exit to question Li Fengyun's order once showed that the Cangtou Army was paying an unprecedented heavy price in order to conquer Ningyang City.

"We need food, Mengshan is running out of food, and the city is even more precarious." Li Fengyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't want to fight like this, but at this moment, is there any other way besides desperately?" ”

Xu Shisan bowed his head and was silent.

"General, have you ever wondered why Duan Wencao hasn't sent troops to support Ningyang so far? You don't think that your strength has surpassed Duan Wencao, right? ”

After this period of hard work, Xiao Yi's stubbornness gradually dissipated, and the conceit and arrogance of the children of the family were also reined in, while at the same time, his extraordinary intelligence was gradually revealed.

Li Fengyun glanced at him lightly and said with a smile, "What do you want to say?" ”

Xiao Yi held the hood in one hand and pointed to Ningyang City in front of him with the other, "General, from a certain point of view, this is a trap." If Zhang Xutuo and his Qi army were ambushed on the other side of the river at this moment, waiting for you to attack the city and suddenly kill when you were exhausted, and then Duan Wencao would kill from the flawed hill and attack Zhang Xutuo back and forth, you would be finished, and the whole army would be annihilated. ”

Li Fengyun shook his jaw again and again, his eyes showed a look of approval, "In this case, does Xiao Lang have a way to deal with it to help someone get through the difficulties?" ”

Xiao Yi was frank and shook his hand without hesitation, "You need food, and there is grain in Ningyang City, so you knew that this was a trap, and you jumped into it without hesitation." You want to gamble once, but what you don't understand is that even if you capture Ningyang City, in the face of Duan Wencao, who is still in force, and in the face of Zhang Xutuo, who may be killed again, do you have enough time to transport the grain in the city away? Your men will see the grain as a hungry wolf sees the meat, and they will not leave it until they die. So in a certain opinion, the day you conquer Ningyang is also the moment when Duan Wencao attacks. And this piece of fat that Duan Wencao threw at you will put you and your army in danger of being wiped out. ”

Xu Shida was dissatisfied, glared at Xiao Yi fiercely, and threatened, "Since you can see it so clearly, how can you not have a countermeasure?" I warn you, if the Cangtou Army is wiped out, you will not want to escape with your life, and you may even implicate the Lanling Xiao clan. ”

"What's the use of a countermeasure? Based on the current situation and the strength of the Cangtou Army, there is no possibility of achieving a certain countermeasure. ”

Xiao Yi showed his arrogant side, in his eyes, Li Fengyun and the Cangtou Army were basically like dead people, and they could not be saved.

Xu Shisan was furious and said coldly, "I followed Ming Gong all the way from Mangdang Mountain to the city of Bianqiu, repeatedly hovering on the edge of life and death, what was the result?" I am still alive and not dead, which is enough to prove that in this battle, Ming Gong can lead us to fight a bloody road. ”

"Good! Good! Good! Xiao Yi was shocked by Xu Shisan's violent and murderous aura, and didn't dare to provoke Xu Shisan, so he hurriedly took out his countermeasures, "If you want to move all the food in Ningyang City back, you must first hit Duan Wencao's army hard, as long as Duan Wencao is injured and beaten so that he doesn't dare to go out of the city, you can do whatever you want." ”

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded.

Xu Shisan said coldly, "Nonsense." Didn't you just say that Zhang Xutuo and his Qi army were going to fight back again? Now that Zhang Xutuo is here again, my Cangtou army is suffering from the enemy, how can I defeat the Lu army and hit Duan Wencao hard? ”

"Zhang Xutuo is not terrible." Xiao Yi waved his hand indifferently, with an arrogant attitude that defied the world, "Qi County is getting worse and worse, which will exacerbate and worsen the situation in Ludong, and once the situation in Ludong deteriorates, it will inevitably affect the expedition of the Navy Division, which is absolutely intolerable to the marshal of the Navy Lai Hu'er and Deputy Marshal Zhou Fashang, so Zhang Xutuo must do his best to kill the thieves in Qizhou to stabilize the Qijun shape, so even if Zhang Xutuo kills back again, he will also leave the battle, no matter what the victory or defeat is, and no matter what the situation in Lu County is after the war, he will return to Qi County day and night." Zhang Xutuo is gone, Duan Wencao has been hit hard again, imagine who else can stop the general and the Cangtou army from rampaging through Lu County? ”

The smile on Li Fengyun's face became even thicker, and his eyes showed a look of surprise, as if he wanted to reacquaint himself with the unsuccessful Xiao Shi who was standing in front of him.

Xu Shisan pondered and did not reprimand Xiao Yi again. Xiao Yi's countermeasures are indeed feasible and reasonable, but the problem is that the strength of the righteous army is insufficient, and it is impossible to inflict heavy losses on Duan Wencao when he is attacked by the enemy in the abdomen.

"Ming Gong ......" Xu Shisan looked at Li Fengyun and said cautiously, "What Xiao Lang said is quite reasonable. It's just that the strength of my Cangtou army is limited, and after conquering Ningyang, it will be even more defeated, and it is not enough to deal with the righteous armies of Jibei and Dongping, let alone attack Duan Wencao. What's going to happen? ”

"Don't worry." Li Fengyun raised his right hand, flipped his palm, and said with a profound smile, "It's as easy as a backhand to defeat Duan Wencao." ”

Xu Shisan was immediately relieved, and his blind worship of Li Fengyun made him not doubt the authenticity of Li Fengyun's words at all. As long as Bai Shuai said that he could defeat Duan Wencao, he would definitely be able to defeat him.

Xiao Yat is suspicious, how is it possible? In this bad situation, Li Fengyun still has the ability to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain?

"The order will go down, and the soldiers of the Fengyun Regiment will eat and drink enough, sleep for two hours, and then attack the city with a certain person."

Xu 13 agreed.

In the city of Blemish Hill, the hall of the county guard is brightly lit.

Duan Wencao, dressed in a yellow uniform, stood in front of the map, his hands behind him, his eyes fixed on Ningyang City.

Behind him, Eagle Strike Lang slammed Niu Jin into the top helmet and armor, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, and his cold face revealed a solemn aura.

Outside the lobby, there are many armor soldiers, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. Heavily guarded. The subordinates came in and out, looking hurried, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Since the Xuzhou thieves occupied Mengshan, the shape of Lu County has deteriorated. The number of thieves is more and more, the strength of the thieves is stronger and stronger, and now it is rampant to the extreme, in the case of the Qi army and the Pengcheng army rushed to support, but also killed outside the city of Fubianqiu, desperately attacking the towns outside the city, among which Gongqiu, Ningyang, Yuancheng, Qufu, Pingyang, and Zou Cheng are being attacked, and the shape is very critical. What is particularly strict is that Duan Wenzhen, the backer of the Qilu people, died, and the power of the Beihai Duan clan, the core force of the Qilu aristocratic group, was suddenly weakened, and the Qilu people were panicked. Therefore, today's battle is not only related to the future of Duan Wencao and the Beihai Duan clan, but also to the future of the Qilu people, so the atmosphere in Blemished Hill City is extremely tense and suffocating.

The main Bo Kong Zhongqing trotted all the way, because of the nervousness, his face was red, sweat was dripping on his forehead, and his wheezing was even more rapid.

Niu Jinda strode up to meet him, and while receiving the secret document from Kong Zhongqing's hand, he asked in a low voice, "Is there an urgent item to take the city?" ”

"This is the city rush."

Niu Jinda's eyes were overjoyed, he immediately opened the urgent mail, glanced at it hurriedly, and walked behind Duan Wencao in three or two steps, "Envoy, the Qi army has arrived in Maodudian and is taking the city to replenish military supplies." ”

Duan Wencao frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on the map, "When does Zhang Juncheng plan to attack?" ”

"Zhang Juncheng agreed with the envoy that tomorrow will go out at dusk, cross the river in the early morning, and attack at dawn the day after tomorrow."

"Bing Guishen, Zhang Juncheng's degree is so fast." Duan Wencao nodded approvingly, and then his expression darkened, "The thief army is storming Ningyang day and night, I wonder if they can hold out until the dawn of the day after tomorrow?" ”

"Zhang Juncheng is also worried, so he implores the envoy to immediately launch an attack in the direction of Yuancheng to contain some of the thief army and help Ningyang hold on until dawn the day after tomorrow."

Duan Wencao's face was embarrassed and he was silent for a long time.

Niu Jinda wanted to speak, but thinking of the predicament Duan Wencao was facing and his current ambivalence, Niu Jinda closed his mouth again.

Zhang Xutuo wants to preserve his strength, Duan Wencao also wants to preserve his strength, although the thieves have fallen into the trap, but according to the news from Xu Shiren, the hero of Rencheng, the number of thieves is as many as seven or eight thousand, and the officers and men of the Cangtou Army are not only well-trained, but also fully armed, equipped with a large number of heavy weapons such as rifles, long knives and strong crossbows, and their strength is very strong. If the two sides meet hard, the officers and soldiers will pay a heavy price, and Zhang Xutuo is unwilling to pay this price, and Duan Wencao is also unwilling to pay, but this battle still has to be fought, so the two have a strict problem in cooperation.
