In the early morning of September 22, Li Zixiong led his army across the Dayao Shui and Yu Li? Before the siege of Baitan City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Overnight, the Xi defenders in Baitan City looked at the Middle-earth battle flag fluttering in the wind outside the city and the Middle-earth army with a rainbow and neat military appearance, dumbfounded and stunned, feeling that it was not real as a dream. How is this possible? Where did the Middle-earth army come from? Everything was normal before the sun went down yesterday, why did the sky change color as soon as I woke up today?
The answer is actually very simple, the Middle-earth people invaded, just like the Turks suddenly crossed the flat pine forest and attacked the important town of Guifang in the north of Xidi, the Middle-earth people also suddenly crossed the Great Wall and began to attack Baitan, an important town in the southwest of Xidi, and the reason why the situation suddenly deteriorated to such a point is because the five armies of the Xi people went on an expedition to Tuo Suchenshui, and the internal emptiness, coupled with the fierce fighting between the Xi people and the Khitans for more than two months, it is now a loss of soldiers, exhaustion, and a sharp reduction in strength. So the Turks and the Middle-earth people coincidentally "shot", one north and one south, and formed a north-south attack on the Xi people very tacitly, and the Xi people suddenly fell into a desperate situation of extinction.
How to deal with the crisis of extermination? Everyone's eyes were on the Supreme Commander of Baitan City and Su Zhi.
The Chu and clan is the first surname of the Mu Kun tribe of the Xi nationality, and the territory of the Mu Kun tribe is on both sides of the big water with Baitan City as the center. Chu and Su Zhi is the eldest son of the Mu Kun Department and the Yuan, the first heir in theory, when he was young, he went to Youzhou to worship the famous Confucianism as a teacher, and when he grew up, he was both civil and military, and he was outstanding among the young generation of the five tribes of the Xi nationality. Considering that Su Zhi is very familiar with Youyan in Middle Earth, and has close contacts with the children of Youyan wealthy families, and has laid down many eyeliners in Youyan, Xi Wang Ah Hui Zheng and Tong Jin and Yuan unanimously decided to hand over the defense of the southwest region to Su Zhi, and boldly use the younger generation to create a new generation of strong people for the Xi people.
Su Zhi lived up to expectations, and in the past two months, he did his best to ensure the stability of the southwest region of Xidi, and found out the true news through various channels, the main reason why the Holy Lord and the Central Hub stayed in Youzhou and did not return to the Eastern Capital for a long time is that the rebellion in the Eastern Capital has been quelled and the internal worries have been alleviated, while Jibei and Youyan have fallen into chaos due to the ravages of the first anti-thief white-haired thief in Middle Earth, which has seriously endangered the security of the northern Xinjiang town and exacerbated the deterioration of the relationship between the North and the South. The Holy Lord of Middle-earth and the Central Pillar had no choice but to stay in Youyan for the time being to stabilize people's hearts.
Su Zhi made a judgment from this that the Holy Lord of Middle Earth and the central center were stranded in Youzhou, and had nothing to do with the Xi people, and would not pose any threat to the Xi people, so he immediately dispatched part of the main force from Panlong Fort to Baitan City, and intensified the suppression of the horse thief alliance on both sides of the troubled water.
However, it turned out that Suzhi was misjudged. Under today's crisis, the Xi generals in Baitan City decided that the road was one foot high, the magic was one foot high, and Su Zhi was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and he calculated in every way, and finally went to the middle earth to transfer the tiger from the mountain. The fact is obvious, the weak defense of the Panlong Fort was attacked by the Middle-earth army, and it fell in an instant by surprise, and there was no time to call the police, and then the Middle-earth army roared north, and surrounded the unsuspecting Baitan City overnight.
Su Zhi regretted, his guess of the battle situation was no different from that of others, and he also thought that he had fallen into the scheme, but this is no longer the point, the current focus is how to save himself, if he can't even save himself, how to turn the tide and save the entire Xi clan?
Su Zhi was very decisive, and asked his uncle and Palmer as messengers, and immediately went out of the city to meet with the commander of the Middle-earth army, and while meeting to negotiate before the battle, he also probed the truth of the Middle-earth army.
At this moment, Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Yang Gongdao and others were preparing to take the leopard cavalry to gallop south to Gubeikou, when they suddenly heard that the messenger of Bai Tan was coming, and immediately decided to delay it a little, and meet this messenger first.
Li Zixiong came forward in person, and when he and Palmer saw him, they were so shocked that they knelt down on the spot.
He and Palmer knew Li Zixiong and had a very profound influence on him. Nine years ago, when the Holy Lord ascended the throne, Yang Liang, the king of Han, rebelled, and Li Zixiong was ordered to transfer troops to Youzhou to quell the rebellion. As a close neighbor of Middle-earth, the Xi people have close trade contacts with Youzhou, and the annual routine tribute is also received and escorted by Youzhou, so there is frequent contact between the high-level of the two places, and many Xi nobles were proud to know Li Zixiong at that time, after all, Li Zixiong is the founding father, his prestige is too prosperous, and he has won the trust and respect of the emperor of Middle-earth, and he has a bright future. Do your best to stammer. Later, Li Zixiong was really promoted and transferred to the secretary of the Central People's Department, and his power was hot.
Such a powerful person personally commanded the army to attack the Xi people, which is enough to prove the determination of Middle-earth to annex the Xi people and recover Anzhou, so at this moment, for Chu and Palmer, the task has been completed, and seeing Li Zixiong, he also found out the reality of the Middle-earth army, the two sides are not opponents of the same level at all, the difference in strength is too great, the Xi tribe is finished, and the Mukun tribe is also finished.
Li Zixiong saw that the messenger of the Xi tribe was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head, but it was not good to scare him murderously, so he had to put on a smiling face and ask kindly. As a result, he and Palmer shouted "...... Jianchang Gong", which surprised Li Zixiong, "Do you know the old man?" ā
Chu and Palmer nodded again and again, and had the courage to recount the "old feelings" first, which was nothing more than Li Zixiong's affection for the Xi people and the Mukun tribe when he was the governor of Youzhou. It's a pity that Li Zi was ambitious and arrogant back then, his eyes were above the top, and he regarded Donghu Zhulu as a mustard, except for a slight impression of the strong man of the Xi clan, Ah Huizheng, the rest of them were indifferent and didn't know anything.
Seeing that Li Zixiong was pleasant, his courage gradually grew, so he changed his mind and asked why the Middle-earth army attacked Bai Tan and invaded Xi Di, and why they treacherously bullied the weak and attacked a small vassal in as subtle words and euphemistic tone as possible.
As soon as these words came out, Li Zixiong, Han Shige and other generals in the tent immediately keenly perceived a key, that is, Chu and Palmer did not know that Li Zixiong was already a traitor in Middle-earth, nor did he know that the army in front of him was from the ghost side, he mistakenly thought that Li Zixiong was still a central minister of Middle-earth, and mistakenly thought that the army in front of him was from Youzhou.
This is a fighter plane, a good opportunity to expand the results if we can seize it.
Li Zixiong hesitated for a moment and replied with one sentence, "The old man was ordered to recover Anzhou, and anyone who hinders it will be killed." ā
He and Palmer were furious, but powerless to stop it. This is the sorrow of a weak person, in the cruel environment of the weak eating the strong, the weak will always be the food of the strong, this is the law of survival, not subject to human will.
"The old man gives you a day." Li Zixiong said in a cold voice, "Tomorrow morning, the old man will start to attack the city, please tell the Bai Tan guard that if he resists stubbornly, the old man will slaughter the city bloodily." ā
He and Palmer were indignant and hurried away.
Li Zixiong waited for his figure to disappear outside the tent, and immediately waved at Han Shige, "Xinyigong, according to the predetermined plan, quickly go south to Gubeikou." ā
Han Shige bowed down to receive the order.
Li Zixiong turned to look at Zhou Zhong and Lai Yuan again, "Duke Yining, Marquis of Hailing, the heavy task of encircling Bai Tan will be handed over to you, as for the opportunity in front of you, of course you can seize it, it doesn't matter if you can't catch it, after taking Panlong Fort, you must return as quickly as possible, at most three or four days, and then take Bai Tan in one go, go straight to Xi Wangfu, and form a north-south attack with Bai Fa, such a big thing can be decided." ā
Zhou Zhong and Lai Yuan agreed in unison.
Around noon, Li Zixiong led the leopard cavalry to gallop away from Gubeikou. At the same time, people in Baitan City were panicked and morale was low.
The news brought back by the department and Palmer confirmed the previous speculation, and the appearance of Li Zixiong, the meritorious veteran of Middle-earth, further proved the determination of Middle-earth to recover Anzhou, so that Baitancheng was in danger, and the situation of the entire Xi tribe was also precarious.
"Although the situation is extremely dangerous, there is still life." Su Zhi saw that everyone was in a low mood, and had to find ways to boost morale, "Previously, the Xi Wangfu had determined that the purpose of the Turks' sudden encirclement of the ghost side should be to force the king to withdraw his troops immediately, so as to restore stability in the northeast as soon as possible, because judging from the current situation of fierce confrontation between the north and the south, if the Turks want to annex our Xi people, they will inevitably be obstructed by the Middle Earth, and the war between the north and the south may break out in advance, so at present, the Turks do not have the reasons and conditions to annex our Xi people." If this assumption is correct, then when the king withdraws his army and returns, the Turks will also quickly evacuate, so as not to defeat both sides and lose the Middle-earths in vain. When the Turks have withdrawn, the king will rush south with the main force to rescue Bai Tan, and this is where our vitality lies. ā
Su Zhi said this, seeing that everyone was still worried, so he continued, "The Turks will never allow the Middle Earth people to recover Anzhou, so after the news of the North Earth attack spread, the Turks and our Xi people have a common enemy, and the two sides may also shake hands and make peace under the ghost city and join forces to fight against Middle Earth, so Middle Earth will inevitably withdraw its troops." ā
Chu and Palmer couldn't help but question, "If the speculation of the Xi Wangfu is completely wrong, if the Turks have already captured the ghost side, taken the Songshan Pass, cut off the retreat of the king and the five armies, and the situation has deteriorated to the extreme, when will Bai Tan wait for reinforcements?" ā
At this time, the deputy commander of the Baitan Army, Ah Hui Shijia of the Qi Division, also spoke, "Break through the siege and go to Xi Wangfu." We are facing an army of Middle-earth that is several times our size, and holding on to Baitan is just a dead end, and only by breaking through can we win a glimmer of life. After the breakthrough is the field battle, the field battle is the specialty of our horse army, and the attack is the advantage of the Middle-earthers. ā
"Break through and die." Su Zhi categorically vetoed.
