Chapter 793: Sneak Attack

In the face of the dense rain of arrows, scorpion cannons, and crossbows in the camp, the two of them lost dozens of horses, but the results were pitiful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info looked at the two dejected generals, Lu Dabing had to accept this reality, except for containing a part of the enemy army and making it impossible to participate in the attack on the fortress of Xiabaoping, there was no other way to help his comrades in the city, but now that the number of enemies besieging Xiabaoping is so large, even if he can contain a part, he still can't alleviate the plight in the city.

Just when Lu Dabing was hesitating, the sentry who was released brought an astonishing news that a large number of elites of the Southern Army had appeared in the rear of Xiabaoping, and looking at their destination, it turned out to be to take down the Sifangyan and Bailonggang behind Xiabaoping.

Pulling out the map and laying it on the ground, Lu Dabing said, "Where did they go?" The sentinel's hand was on a spot, "When I came back, they were in this position, and now I'm afraid they're closer to the Sifang Weir." ”

Hit the ground with a snap punch, Lu Dabing's face was extremely ugly, there were not many garrisons in Sifangyan and Bailonggang, and there was a fortress in front of Xiabaoping, if he encountered a surprise attack, he would definitely be caught off guard. Zeng Yifan's Liaoshen army was concentrated on the Xiabaoping front, so it must be Lan Yu's descendant army who attacked these two places. As soon as these two places were lost, Xiabaoping became a completely isolated city.

"Someone!" A personal soldier rushed over, "What does the general command?" ”

"Sneak back to the city, tell General Wei about the situation, and say that I went to rescue Bailonggang." Lu Dabing said.

"Yes, General!" The soldiers turned and left.

"Uncle, Sifang Weir is the first to bear the brunt, and the form is more critical than Bailonggang, why don't we go where first?" Larry asked.

Lu Dabing shook his head, "It's too late, the other party is now very close to the Sifang Yan, we rushed over, not only can't save them, but even ourselves will be trapped, this time it is the elite of the Southern Army, it is the descendant of Lanyu, it can't be underestimated!" ”

"The brother of the Sifangyan?" Tokhtar opened his mouth and closed it again.

Lu Dabing stood up, pulled out his steel gun from the grass, "Order the whole army, assemble, and rush to Bailonggang." ”

When Wei Xin received Lu Dabing's report, it was already late at night, and he watched repeatedly in front of the map for a long time, and said to the soldiers who reported the news: "Go back and tell your general, whether you can save the army in Bailonggang or not, don't fight with your opponent, go with one blow, and don't come back, let your general go back to Yangquan or Weizhou City to listen to orders." ”

When his soldiers left, Wei Xin immediately summoned his generals and informed everyone of this information.

"Everyone, although Zeng Yifan is missing one of the three to offset our fighting spirit and let us still have a way to retreat, but now that Sifangyan and Bailonggang are lost, it means that our back road has been cut off, so Zeng Yifan will not have to do more, and he will definitely be attacked from all sides. We, without Sifangyan and Bailonggang, will become a completely isolated city, no more reinforcements, no supplies and ordnance supplements, the next battle must be extremely cruel. Do you have faith and keep it? ”

Tian Xinyu knocked on the table and said: "General Wei, these miscellaneous soldiers in front of me are nothing, I just don't understand, since the opponent has bypassed us and directly taken Sifangyan and Bailonggang, presumably the next target is Yangquan, what is the point of us holding on here, why not wave the army to break through, counterattack Sifangyan and Bailonggang, and then return to Yangquan, in this way, Yangquan can be more solid." Isn't it better to defend Yangquan, the gateway to Acropolis City, than to be trapped in a lonely city here? ”

Wei Xin said with a smile: "General Tian has a certain truth, but we have to consider a problem, it is true that if we abandon the city now, Zeng Yifan may be in a hurry, and he really can't stop us, but there is a problem, after Lan Yu captures Sifangyan and Bailonggang, he will inevitably deploy troops in these two places to intercept us, if we can't break through the opponent's defense in a short period of time, what if Zeng Yifan pounces on us behind us?" At that time, we didn't even have a city fortress, and we would be forced to fight with the opponent in the field, although the Dingzhou army was the best in the field, but the opponent's strength was several times that of us, even if we were covered in iron, how many nails could we hit? ”

All the generals nodded, and Tian Xinyu also showed a sudden look.

"Secondly, there are mountains of materials piled up in the lower fort, how can we take away the ordnance? Is it burned by a fire? I'm afraid that the fire will be together, Zeng Yifan will notice it, and he will immediately wave his army to attack the city, at this time, it is not so simple for us to leave? If you don't destroy them, will you leave these things to the enemy? I'm afraid everyone is not reconciled! ”

"General Wei is right, stay here, fight with him, just wait for the arrival of the lord's reinforcements, and kill them like a devastating one!" Li Shengzhi pounded the table and said.

"We hold on here, as long as we don't lose the lower fort, the Zeng army will not be able to get out, and on the other hand, isn't it also supporting Yangquan? Otherwise, Zeng's army will also be thrown into Yangquan, and the longer we hold on here, the more beneficial it will be to General Tian's battle in Weizhou City. Wei Xin said: "So, we must stay here." ”

"If there is an enemy army in Bailonggang in Sifangyan, Lu Dabing will be splinted, and the situation will be very difficult." Tian Xinyu said.

Wei Xin nodded, "General Lu just sent the information, and he also realized this, now he should be rushing to rescue Bailonggang, and after engaging the enemy, he should retreat to Yangquan before the enemy lives in these two places." Wei Xin said, Lu Dabing must also be a veteran, the first time to realize the crisis, now every bit of time is precious, if the opponent occupies these two places first, Lu Dabing will be unlucky.

Lan Yu raided Sifangyan and Bailonggang this time, and even Zeng Yifan did not inform him of the specific time, but sent someone to inform him after the troops had already set off for a long time, and the two troops each had 5,000 people to attack these two places, led by Huang Huotu and Dai Hecheng, the generals of the Southern Army. The intelligence shows that the defenders of Dingzhou in these two places are only more than 1,000 people each, and there are a lot of materials stored inside.

The Yellow Fire and Earth Department attacked the Sifang Weir, when the sky was bright, the Yellow Fire and Earth Department of the road all night saw the Sifang Weir Fortress, which is a small fortress about 500 steps long and about 300 steps wide, only less than three meters high, standing in the dense forest, seeing the Sifang Weir Fortress outside Lixu, the cooking smoke is curling up, obviously, the soldiers in the fortress are preparing to have breakfast, and above the fortress, only Liao Liao dozens of soldiers are on guard, Huang Huotu can't help but smile on his face.

"Attack!" Huang Huotu's arm slammed down, and the soldiers behind him jumped out, rushed out of the dense forest, and rushed towards the Sifang Weir Fortress not far away.

Hundreds of cavalry were the first to rush out, and behind them, there was a dense group of infantry.

Ding Ergou is still a recruit, in fact, most of the soldiers who are still on duty in the fortress are recruits, he stayed in the cold wind all night and his whole body was frozen, seeing the smoke rising in the fortress, he couldn't help but smile on his face, at most half an hour, he can change the guard, go back and drink a bowl of hot soup, and then sleep in the quilt.

Leaning the gun on his shoulder, holding his hand to his mouth and breathing, although he was wearing gloves, but this weather was just better than nothing, a pair of hands almost had no sense, just two breaths, Ding Ergou's whole person froze, in the field of vision, suddenly occupied by a large number of cavalry, densely running infantry, the fluttering flag made Ding Ergou's pupils contract.

"Enemy attack!" Ding Ergou roared hoarsely, picked up the spear in his hand, and rushed to the bell tower on the side, and the bell rang immediately.

The fortress was in chaos. The soldiers of the fortress who were eating threw away their rice bowls and ran to the city walls, most of them without even putting on their armor.

Xue Hua, the captain of Zhenwu, had a snow-white face, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, looking at the enemy troops who were getting closer and closer, and then looking at the soldiers who were busy around him, some of them were hurriedly pushing the eight-ox crossbows towards the city wall, some were carrying the wood, and some were bending their bows and arrows and aiming at the city.

The enemy has 5,000 men, to say the least, and the Quartet is finished. Xue Hua sighed in his heart, "Light the wolf smoke and warn Bailonggang." Xue Huadao, right now, that's all he can do for Bailonggang, I hope the other party doesn't attack at the same time in the two places.

"Prepare for battle!" Xue Huaba also shouted, and finally glanced at the distant direction of Dingzhou, even if he died here, his parents, wives and children in Dingzhou would be well taken care of, and he would not have any worries. Death for the Lord is now.

"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!" Although the armor was disheveled, the soldiers still let out a loud shout.

"Ding Ergou!" Xue Hua shouted.

"Lord Xue." Ding Ergou ran over.

"Take your brethren and go to the storehouse and burn me all the grain and heavy ordnance." Xue Hua said sharply.

"Ahh Ding Ergou was dumbfounded.

"Burn it, don't you burn it for the enemy?" Xue Hua slapped him hard, "Go!" Don't stay at all! ”

"Yes!" was woken up by Xue Hua's slap, and Ding Ergou ran down the city wall.

When the first wave of attack of the Yellow Fire Earth came, a raging fire broke out in the Sifang Weir Fortress, both on and below the city, all of them stopped for a moment when the fire was ignited, the soldiers on the city looked back at the fire in the city, and they already understood in their hearts that there was almost no hope of survival today, so they could only fight hard, hoping to pull a few more pads before they died, and the Yellow Fire Earth under the city was annoyed, and the reaction of the other party's guards was beyond his expectations, and at the first time he found out about the attack, the other party accurately judged his situation, He actually set fire to the city himself, which would not only make the things in the city pay off, but also make it difficult for him to attack.

"None of them will be left!" Huang Huotu roared.
