Outside the city of Jingcheng County.

The big tent of the Chinese army, the lights at night flickered and dimmed, just like the mood of the leaders of the Montenegrin Army.

Zhang Yan sat in the center, with Huang Long, Guo Daxian, Qing Niujiao, Si Li, Peng Zai, and Lei Gong on the left; On the right, there are a number of generals such as Zhenggu, Bai Huan, Fuyun, and left Zhangba, Bai Que, and Liu Shi sitting on both sides.

After days of fierce fighting, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed, but the city has not been breached so far, making the atmosphere in the big tent a little dull.

"General, the number of soldiers killed in my Montenegrin army has exceeded 800,000, and all villages have suffered heavy losses. Zhenggu, who was in the first place in his right hand, bowed his hand to Zhang Yan.

The Montenegrin Army is not a monolithic army, but a combination of bandits of all stripes. Its main body is the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who retreated from Jizhou to Taihang Mountain, and the original high-level cottages and super cottage bandits in Taihang Mountain also account for a large proportion.

Everyone joins forces to integrate, and does business without capital, which can only make a big profit but not a big loss. Once there is a big loss, not only will the leader's position be unstable, but it is also likely that the entire cottage will collapse.

On the one hand, they hope that through this battle, they will have a relationship with the Yuan family of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong League, and clear their identities; On the other hand, the Montenegrin Army, together with their families, numbered no less than 20 million people, cowering in the Taihang Mountains, not plowing the fields, not manufacturing, and only living by plundering, so their lives were naturally not so easy.

With millions of people this time, there are not many opportunities to justifiably attack the city and seize the land, so naturally one by one is full of enthusiasm.

But who would have thought that a kick on the iron plate was kicked on the iron plate, and now everyone has reacted a little, but it is difficult to ride a tiger. is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, always thinking about returning to his roots, and is unwilling to admit losses and leave the table.

"Although the brothers respect me as the leader, my Montenegrin army has always been negotiable, and I am not alone in the final say. Brothers, let's talk about it, what are we going to do? Up to now, Zhang Yan didn't dare to take all the responsibility on herself, and put on a posture of following everyone's opinions.

"How much military strength can a county take, everyone here should be very clear, under normal circumstances, don't say that we have sacrificed so many soldiers, even if we sacrifice a third or a quarter, we have already captured the city, but let's see, is there any sign that Jingcheng County is about to fall? The battle of Changshan Country is clearly a trap, and I don't approve of continuing! "The left beard is flying and emotional.

"Haven't you just almost broken through the city these days?" Guo Daxian and Zhang Yan are relatively close, and they still have confidence in Zhang Yan.

"Almost? yes, it's been a little bit of a stretch! If we hadn't given us that little hope, we'd have withdrawn three or four days ago, right? Bai Huan's words, although obviously biased towards the left beard, also caused some people to ponder.

Up to now, everyone understands that the matter of Jingcheng County and Shangai County is very likely to be trapped by the enemy! If we persist, I don't know how many lives will be filled into this bottomless pit. But if you retreat like this, not only will it be difficult to explain to the soldiers under you, but even the leaders here will not be reconciled.

Sometimes, it takes more courage to retreat than to move forward!

At this time, Huang Long, who had not spoken, but whose status was second only to Zhang Yan, spoke:

"Now, we are in a dilemma, but the use of troops is the most harmful, and the disaster of the three armies is due to suspicion, so we must make a decision as soon as possible!

"Everyone is unwilling to retreat; continue to attack, and we are afraid that the two county towns in front of us will be run by the enemy into a bottomless pit that devours life;

"So, I thought I might as well set a stop-loss! With a limit of three days, increase the attack, put the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban wrestlers we have on hand into the offensive sequence, if we can't break through the city in three days, retreat quickly, and save the whole army from being annihilated! ”

Lei Gong shook his head and said in a loud voice: "Since we have invested in the Yellow Turban Force, it won't take three days, if we can't capture the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will retreat immediately, and if we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave if we want to!" ”

"Agreed!" White Bypass.

"Agreed!" Left mustache and eight ways.

"Agreed!" Huanglong Road.

……

In the end, most of the leaders present formed a consensus: attack for two days, if you can break the city, drink wine and eat meat; If you can't succeed, admit compensation and retreat!

At dusk, the Prime Minister of Changshan Country.

Ye Teng was studying the latest battle situation with Guo Jia and Chen Gong, Jia Xu walked in and said respectfully: "Lord, the Montenegrin Army in Jingcheng County and Shangai County today is a bit abnormal, and the attack strength is a bit similar to the first day, as if a decisive battle is about to be made!" ”

"Oh, what about Lingshou County and Pingjiao County?" Ye Teng asked.

"As always, no anomalous behavior!" Jia Xu replied.

"It seems that it is not the three parties moving together, but the Montenegrin Army acting alone, not good, the Montenegrin Army may have to run!" Chen Gong turned from muttering to glaring and exclaiming.

"What Brother Gongtai said is reasonable, if the Montenegrin army can't break the city in the next two days, it will inevitably escape." Guo Jia affirmed Chen Gong's judgment.

Ye Teng stood up and ordered:

"Wenhe, pass the order, let Zhao Yun, who is really determined, immediately lead 20,000 wolf horsemen to rush to Jingcheng County, and cooperate with the defenders in the city to pursue the place of escape!

"Ordered Huang Zhong of the house to keep an eye on Pingjian, and Cao Xing of Jiumen to keep an eye on Lingshou, and once the matter is urgent, he will immediately send troops to rescue.

"I will personally rush to Shangai County to prevent the main force of the Montenegrin Army from escaping. After I left, the latest information I received should be shared with Fengxiao and Gongtai, and the overall war will be jointly responsible for the three of you, but Fengxiao will be the main one, if the three of you disagree, then Fengxiao's opinion will be the main one! ”

"No!" Guo Jia, Chen Gong, and Jia Xu agreed in unison.

Ye Teng didn't say anything more, turned around and hurried out!

——————————

On the upper floor of the West City Gate of Jingcheng County.

The early morning sun shone on Shangguan Xue'er's delicate but straight pink back, and the bright silver armor was solid and clean, shining with silver light, setting off this beautiful and incomprehensible woman with heroic vigour.

Yesterday, the intensity of the attack of the Montenegrin army suddenly became fierce again, and although Xue Weiyang's Beiwei army still did not move, the ordinary troops and the Qi family army suffered no less than 20,000 casualties.

Like the Yan family and the Badao Alliance, on this expedition, Shangguan Xue'er's ring was stuffed with a lot of resources exchanged for merit points, and he was ready to upgrade his soldiers in the line of fire.

Therefore, in the past ten days, she has taken out more than 70,000 ordinary troops with 200,000 ordinary troops, less than half, but the 50,000 primary special troops of the Qi family army have not decreased, but have increased by more than 2,000 people. Of course, it is not that the Qi family army has no casualties, but that it has been promoted and supplemented by ordinary troops.

"Alliance leader, something is wrong, since yesterday, the enemy army has suddenly increased the intensity of the attack, and today, you see, they seem to have dispatched the Yellow Turban Force!" Shangguan Xue'er, a tall woman standing side by side with her on the city tower, pointed to the distance and said to her.

They all participated in the war to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army, so the types of troops of the Yellow Turban Army can be known at a glance.

Shangguan Xue'er's face was solemn: "It seems that the enemy is about to fight a decisive battle!" Pass my general order, once the Yellow Turban Lux lands in the city, immediately dispatch the back army, specifically staring at the Yellow Turban Lux to fight, today's situation is critical, if you don't keep the main force suppressed, it will be dangerous! At the same time, send someone to inform the other gates and the yamen in the city that the Montenegrin army is going to a decisive battle today, so let's go all out! ”

"No!" The tall woman bent over and clenched her fists, turned and walked away quickly.
