On October 22, when the sun rose in the east, the third army of the northern army bypassed the water drop array of the southern army, and all gathered outside the city of Tongxu, camping for hundreds of miles, and the last team almost lined up to Kaifeng City, the number of people, the scale of the large, can be seen.

The northern army contracted the front and gathered in one place, in Lin Aotian's words: The southern army has a water drop array, and our army has a sharp knife array, which will quickly pierce from the weakest point of the water drop, until the core of the water drop, and the southern army will be defeated!

So Zao Wou-Ki gave Lin Aotian full authority to command the battle, and also gave unprecedented grace to Gongsun Mirage, ordering him to replace Li Jizhong as the fourth master of the Praetorian Guard for the time being, and hold the vanguard seal.

Gongsun Mirage has any crimes, it is all imposed on him by Zao Wou-Ki when he sees that he is unhappy, but he doesn't care, he feels that this time is an excellent opportunity, if he can firmly grasp it, the Gongsun family will be able to gain Zao Wou-ki's favor again, and the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible.

Once a person's mind is enslaved, it is called "foolish loyalty" if it sounds good, and it is a dog if it is ugly, Gongsun Mirage has never thought of jumping out of the circle of Xiangwangfu to break into the vast world outside, with his skills are enough to dominate the party, but he just can't get rid of the deep-rooted slave thinking, especially after his sister Gongsun Feiyan also fell out of favor, he only thinks about how to please the master and reshape the glory of the Gongsun family.

But this can't be blamed on him, after all, he was instilled with the concept of foolish loyalty by Sun Wuya when he was a child, and he already regarded Xiangwangfu as a sacred home. Safeguarding the interests of this "family" as much as possible is the fate that he cannot escape for the rest of his life, and it is also the sorrow of the Gongsun family.

……

Without mentioning it, it is just that Lin Aotian commanded the army to break into battle for the second time, and the target he chose was the 16th Army Corps of the Southern Army, which he thought was the weakest on the front line, that is, Tongxu City, where Wang Dao was stationed.

As for the combat strength of the Southern Army, it is definitely inferior to the Northern Army as a whole, but the Southern Army still has 29 corps, large and small, and there are still strong and weak divisions, which need to be carefully divided.

The strongest in the Southern Army: the Ninth Legion, that is, the Poison Toad Legion of Xiang Lingkong. More than ten years ago, he was stationed in Jinyang Town, and after painstaking training and training by Xiang and Qianduo, he was comparable to the combat power of the Kaifeng Forbidden Guards by the time of the Battle of Southern Jiangsu. After more than ten years, the Poison Toad Legion learned the tactics of the border army, and the tactics became more mature and the combat power became stronger. In this battle between the north and the south, Yan Yunxing even equipped all the members of the Poison Toad Legion with war horses, you must know that war horses are the most scarce war materials in the Southern Army, and they are also the reason why the Southern Army's combat strength is collectively weak, but for the Poison Toad Legion, the only defect in poor mobility has been made up, except for the Burning Burning Army, the Phoenix Dance Legion and Zhao Wouji's palace front division who have been fighting with the Yuan people all year round, the rest are not its opponents;

Secondly, the other legions of the Five Poison Division, the Seventeenth Legion of Chengzhiwen, the Eighteenth Legion of Xiao Silence, and the Eighth Legion of Yan Yunxing. Yan Yunxing had implemented the strategy of "elite soldiers" before the war, focusing on the poisonous toad army, so the remaining poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes, etc. were naturally worse. The Seventeenth Army is also among them because of its unique tactics and large numbers. The Eighteenth Legion is the elite of the Fallen Leaf Division, and the Eighth Legion is also the elite of the Moonlight Division.

Again, Lu Duoqing's Sixth Legion and True Love's Nineteenth Legion. Lu Duoqing's own identity adds points to the combat strength of his legion, and Lou Peng, the head of the Guinong faction, guides and assists from the side, so it cannot be underestimated. Needless to say, one of the five people in the drift, the army of true love under his command should be in this position.

Again, the other legions of the Moonlight Department, the eight small halls of the Five Poison Departments, the other halls of the Guinong faction, the 21st Legion of Liu Yu under the command of Alsace, and the 24th Legion of Yunshui Rumors.

Finally, the Sixteen Legions of the Royal Road, the other legions of the Supreme Alliance.

In the eyes of the Northern Army, in addition to the logistics troops and the 29th Army Corps, the weakest and only the 16th Army Corps of the Royal Road was stationed on the front line. Persimmon is still picking a soft pinch, if he doesn't fight him, will the Sixteenth Legion go to fight with Xinzheng's Ninth Legion?

The Northern Army was very clear about the division of combat power of the Southern Army, but they all ignored one fact, that is, the distribution of troops in Yan Yunxing's Water Drop Array.

The strongest corps must be at the forefront, so the Ninth Corps is stationed in Xinzheng, and the 1st and 18th Corps are at both ends, which is no problem.

The middle-level legions, stationed in Jiacheng and Jiangzhen, the core of the formation, are relatively safe and can support other places in a timely manner, and there is no problem with this.

Slightly weaker legions, stationed among the strongest legions on the front line, thought to respond.

The weakest legion, defending the large rear.

This is a problem, if the Sixteenth Army is really the weakest as the Northern Army imagined, then why was it arranged by Yan Yunxing to be allowed to the front line? Was it just a mistake by Yan Yunxing, arranged in order of legion number? For example, the weakest Twenty Legions in the background? Or is there an error in the intelligence of the Northern Army, and the Sixteenth Army is not the weakest army at all?

These northern armies didn't think about it, of course, this can't blame Lin Aotian for being careless, just imagine who cares about the unknown Mingshan Wangdao? He's just a fisherman with a harpoon. Even if the Sixteenth Legion is not the weakest, it must not be the strongest, since it is not the Poison Toad Legion, who in the Northern Army will be afraid of him? What is the difference between the weakest, the weakest or the middle? To put it bluntly, what the Northern Army was afraid of was never a certain legion of the Southern Army, but Yan Yunxing's tricks, the extremely fast intelligence gathering speed of the Southern Army, and the Great Array of Water Drops.

However, the lion fights the rabbit with all his might. In the end, the Northern Army will have to pay a heavy price for the light enemy, but it is not the turn of the coach Lin Aotian to bear this painful price for the time being, but the new fourth master of the Praetorian Guard, Gongsun Mirage, who was promoted by Zao Wou-Ki Kaien.

……

Outside the city, the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard could not see the end at a glance, and the commander Lin Aotian looked at the vanguard general in front of him, who had already been impatient, and asked: "Is Mr. Gongsun sure that he will win the first place for our army?" ”

"Lin Shuai rest assured, although the battle formation has been absent for a long time, the small Sixteenth Army can still cope with it." Gongsun Mirage clenched his fists slightly, and his eyes looked at Tongxu City from afar, as if there was his longed-for fame and loyalty that had been buried for many years.

"In that case, I will sit and wait for Mr. Gongsun to triumph." Lin Aotian slapped his horse and left, and Gongsun Mirage waited for Lin Aotian's figure to go farther and farther, that is, with a wave of his hand, he ordered the siege of the city!

The second battle of the Northern Army's breaking formation has begun!

This siege battle is different from the past, in addition to more ladders, countless siege soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, Zao Wou-Ki also equipped the Gongsun Mirage with a large rushing car, a stone throwing machine and hundreds of flying lines, so the armament is the nightmare of the army defending the south of the city, Xu is already a short city, and the city walls are made of earth, not stone, how can it withstand the ruthless destruction of the stone throwing machine? Just a few boulders fell, and the city wall was smashed out of the gap, and the northern army completely ignored the southern army's arrow rain, and swarmed in from the gap, venting all the anger of the previous countless defeats on the "weak" soldiers of the 16th Legion.

However, was the Sixteenth Army really as weak as the Northern Army imagined? Judging from the hundreds of corpses of the Northern Army that fell from the gaps in the city wall, this is obviously not the case. Although the uniforms of the soldiers of the 16th Legion look a little dirty, all of them are dressed in short shirts and torn jackets, holding short-handled harpoons, and they do not have the heroic spirit of a regular army, but their combat enthusiasm and military quality are no worse than those of the Fourth Carriage Army, and they are even faintly higher than one head!

To the north of the city, at the largest breach destroyed by the catapult, a man in the prime of life with a disheveled hair was alone in his hand. He was covered in the blood of the enemy, and there were hundreds of enemy corpses lying under his feet.

He is the commander of the Sixteenth Legion, and the general of the city of Xu-Wang Dao.

The first wave of the Fourth Army's offensive gradually receded, followed by the indiscriminate bombardment of the Northern Army's catapults, and Wang Dao found a broken wall and hid in to avoid the bombardment of the catapults.

He straightened his long bloodstained hair, but the blood stains on it had long since dried up and condensed, and he couldn't comb it out, so he could only let the messy hair drape over his forehead, sitting alone in the city like a madman.

Not far away, the boulder shells of the Northern Army kept bombarding the fragile earthen wall, and the bright red ground was full of the corpses of countless soldiers, and the corpses covering the upper layer had to be destroyed by the boulders from time to time.

The young people had already fled to the center of the town, waiting for the end of the war in fear, and the old and young women and children with inconvenient legs were crushed under the rubble by the collapsed houses, sobbing in fear, screaming in pain, and faintly crying for help as if they were close to the ears, but the king could only sit idly by as if he was deaf and blind, and sat idly by.

He knows that the war is cruel, compared to the battle of southern Jiangsu where the two sides did not commit any crimes in the autumn of the people, the war between the north and the south obviously abandoned this rule, because the commanders of both sides are no longer the same temperament as before, one side is the ruthless and ruthless Zhao Wouji, the other side is the cruel and vicious Yan Yunxing, which is the living Buddha and Bodhisattva with compassion?

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Dao couldn't help but recall the meeting with Yan Yunxing last night, which made him admire the five-body throw. I have to say that although Yan Yunxing is no longer what he used to be, his strategy in terms of war is still as miraculous as ever.

……

In the evening breeze, under the starlight, Wang Dao could vaguely see Yan Yunxing's increasingly terrifying blood-patterned face, which seemed to be no longer human.

"Yan Shuai, your face ......"

"Lord Wang, this is not something you should care about."

"Yes......" Wang Dao could feel the alienation in Yan Yunxing's tone, the Yan Alliance Master who called "Brother Wang" one by one back then had passed away, and gradually disappeared into his memory with the passage of time.

"Tomorrow, the northern army will definitely assemble and break the formation, and the first thing to bear the brunt is Tongxu, are you ready?"

"Is there any insider information that the Northern Army will attack Daxu?"

"No, it's just my guess, you don't have to care about this, I just ask you, can you withstand the first wave of the Northern Army's offensive?"

"Yes!"

"You have to be able to do it, and you must be able to!"

"Xie Yanshuai trusts!"

"Hmm...... After the completion of the task, the withdrawal permit is not allowed to stay. ”

"Understood."

"You...... Go ahead. ”

"Yes......"

……

The task of the royal road was completed, but he did not evacuate, he wanted to continue to defend, not to live up to Yan Yunxing's trust, but simply to prove himself and prove that in addition to the Divine Mirror, the Mingshan Alliance also had his royal way and the flying harpoon!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The bombardment of boulder shells stopped, the sound of killing outside the city rose again, the second wave of the offensive of the Fourth Chamber's army swept in an instant, Wang Dao jumped up hard, and blocked the crack again, like a humanoid flesh wall, the northern army was assassinated outside the city, the longer the time, the corpses under its feet gradually piled up, and the crack was blocked, and the northern army was difficult to move forward, so it had to find another place to enter, or climb the ladder and climb the zipline, and always dare not provoke the killing god of the southern army!

Although Wang Dao proved his worth, and despite the unimaginable power of the 16th Army under his command, the advanced siege equipment of the Northern Army still made Tongxu completely in ruins, and countless Northern troops had been killed in the city, so Wang Dao had to abandon the breach and rush to the city gate for the final defense.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Outside the city, the Northern Army rushed into the car again and again, as if it had hit the heart door of the soldiers of the Southern Army. Wang Dao and his subordinates gathered together, backed by the city gate, facing the thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army who jumped down from the city wall, raised the flying harpoon in their hands, and rushed forward without hesitation!

The two sides fought each other in a short battle, and after a tragic white-knuckle battle, the southern army annihilated the northern army in the city, so that Lin Aotian and other generals who were far behind the vanguard army could no longer sit still, and urgently ordered the main army to enter the city!

At this time, Wang Dao, who was wounded in several places all over his body, ushered in the last enemy of the Northern Army's vanguard legion, Gongsun Mirage.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side was also covered in blood, and a pair of eyes full of anger and unwillingness stared at Wang Dao, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"You! After all, it is impossible to escape defeat, why are you still dying, why don't you give me a chance to rise again! Why! "Gongsun Mirage has completely lost his mind, and his vanguard legion, the Fourth Wing Army, suffered a desperate fight from the Sixteenth Legion, and the whole army was wiped out in this battle.

"Victory and defeat are common, you can be as small as ants, but you can't be like the walking dead and do nothing." Wang Dao covered his chest with his hand and said lightly, "You have your goal, and I also have my beliefs, I'm sorry, the Northern Army can enter, but none of your vanguard troops want to enter!" ”

"Ah......" Gongsun Mirage roared angrily, and was about to kill the king, but was pulled by his subordinates and dragged out of the city. If you don't escape, you can't do it, there are hundreds of elite soldiers of the Sixteenth Legion on Wang Dao's side, how can Gongsun Mirage be the enemy alone?

Wang Dao and the hundreds of remaining soldiers under his command all looked up to the sky and laughed, they should be happy for themselves, because they not only completed the task assigned by Yan Yunxing, but also desperately blocked the offensive of the Fourth Wing Army of the Northern Army, and for the first time annihilated a section of the Northern Army with the strength of a regiment of the Southern Army, this will become a unique great example of the Battle of the North and the South, which is enough for them to remember for a lifetime, so that their descendants will be proud of it and worship it!

However, every word that Yan Yunxing has warned is never nonsense, the consequence of Wang Dao's failure to withdraw in time is that the moment the city gate is knocked open by a rushing car, Zhao Jien jumped from the head of the city, and Li Mancheng took the lead from outside the city, and the two sides attacked, and beheaded Wang Dao who was immersed in joy with lightning speed, and the corpse fell to the ground!

The last thing he saw on his head was the stunned eyes of his brothers, but he didn't regret it, he just thought of his son, and he just wanted to say his last goodbye to him.

"Chess star, good son, may you not be born for chess, may you be a star forever ......"
