Chapter 245: Northern Battlefield

The second reason is that, as far as she knows, the Qing family was attacked at the beginning, starting with a small-scale plague.

One place is fine, but there are so many places, and they are all within the scope of the Qing family, so it is not normal, and it is not unreasonable for people to say.

If it is man-made, will the initiator have precautions? Who will develop these drugs? These...... Plague virus?

Tang Sha thought about it carefully, it was very scary, the cellar would not be a biochemical laboratory, no, no, it might be just to pound the medicine, and prepare for the war.

"You think they're working on an elixir?" Tie Zhu thought of the elixir that Tang Sha said, and said subconsciously.

"I don't know, but I can actually look it up." Tang Sha stared at the iron pillar and smiled.

"I understand, I'll take care of this matter." Tie Zhu has been doing this business for more than ten or twenty years, and there are a number of ways to check it.

"But I still can't believe that there really is such a medicine in this world." The iron pillar smacked twice.

"Then do you know Hou Xisheng?" Tang Sha asked.

"Yes, High Priest of Southern Xinjiang." Tiezhu nodded.

"I've seen him, and he looks like he's also a young man in his twenties." Tang Sha was inexplicably envious.

"I've heard of this, the immortal Gu you mentioned...... That's not right, isn't that Immortal Gu to be nourished with the blood of your loved ones? Then why did the Qing family still get that medicine store? Could it be that the Qing family still has the Immortal Mother Gu in their hands? The iron pillar only reacted now.

"Then I don't know, this is not the point now, their hatred and grievances are their business, what we need to do is not let them hurt the innocent."

"Well, I understand." Tie Zhu agreed with Tang Sha's words.

At the beginning, Tang Sha did not have such lofty ambitions, did not have that kind of broad feelings, and did not have the determination to give his life for people he didn't know.

Not anymore, though. Because of Ye Xuanyuan, follow his footsteps and protect what he thinks.

Moreover, it feels very good, and I feel that I have some value in life. That's the fire in your heart, isn't it? To be more precise, Ye Xuanyuan is the fire.

Tang Sha continued to live in the palace for a few days, and Que Ling and Xie Chuan let Tang Sha live in the palace, but Tang Sha refused, the reason was naturally because of Ye Yu.

The sister-in-law actually flirted with the sister-in-law, which was a little embarrassing.

The war in the north was tight, and after Li He's army went up, it blocked the speed of Li Yunnan's downward movement.

……

The northern battlefield is full of mourning. The soldiers handed over, the soldiers roared, the flesh shattered, the boulders fell to the ground, and the sound of wooden stakes hitting the door resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"General! We can't hold on! The soldier was covered in blood, crying and kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of sorrow.

The man who was called the general sat on the city wall and looked to the north: "Even if there is only one person left, hold on to me!" ”

The army of the war king was already in the rear, and they could not give up.

The general stood in front of the city wall, facing the soldiers who were fighting below and above the city wall, his eyes were firm, and he had a momentum of looking at death as if he were at home: "Soldiers! The War King's army is almost here! Behind this city wall is your family, the Great Chen Dynasty! It's our mission! Hold it for me! ”

Although the voice was drowned out in the sound of soldiers, every soldier knew in their hearts that they could not fall. This Chen must not be lost, and if it is thrown away, it will be the imperial city!

This is the second capital, is an important pass in the north, the second capital does not fall, the imperial city will be safe and stable. Once the capital city falls, then the imperial city is like a lamb to the slaughter.

Yes, the situation in the north is much more severe than many people realize.

Li Yun's 800,000-strong army was menacing, and it was so overwhelming that it couldn't resist it at all. Even though I've been making arrangements since a year ago, I still can't resist.

The boundaries of Da Chen have repeatedly moved southward, and now they are approaching the imperial city, and they have no way back.

The warriors fought with their backs, and the general also took up his bow and arrow, and took up his broadsword, and fought against the besieging enemy.

"General!"

The warrior's eyes widened suddenly, and he watched in horror as their general was hit by an arrow in the chest.

"Leave me alone! Now each of you is a general! The general gritted his teeth, directly broke the tail of the arrow, roared angrily, and continued to fight.

A leader, the soul of an army, and at this moment, each of them became a soul, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

Everyone is determined to die, and at this moment, they are generals, and in the same way, they have to take responsibility.

"Ahh

"Kill!"

"Come on! You bastards! Come on the fuck! ”

shouted one after another, every word is blood, killing one to save the capital, killing two is considered to be earned.

They don't seem to feel the pain anymore, and as long as they can move, they have to pick up the knife in their hands and stand up.

Rebel Battalion......

"General Qi, our losses have exceeded three percent."

"What about the other party?" General Qi asked indifferently.

"Only thirty percent remained." Tell the truth.

"They're just struggling pointlessly now, Jijing must take it down!" In Qi Nian's eyes, it is an imperative.

"Yes!" The caller answered and ran out.

Qi Nian is a general under Li Yun. There are a total of five real generals under Li Yun. Qi Nian is one of them. The other four are, respectively, Yu Yuan, Cai Yi, Ju Yeshen, and Yang Zhan.

In addition to these generals, there are countless talented people, and there are also a large number of strategists.

Qi Nian quietly waited for the news of the broken city ahead, he made himself a cup of tea and took a sip of it.

"Report~!"

Before Qi Nian tea was finished, the spies rushed in directly, looking a little panicked.

Qi Nian knew that things had changed at a glance.

"What's the situation?!"

"Report to the general, the other side has reinforcements, and now our losses are more than forty percent."

Qi Nian's expression changed: "Withdraw the army!" ”

"Yes!"

In less than a cup of tea, he actually lost another ten percent, and it seems that the other party has a lot of people.

With an army of 50,000 people, wouldn't they all have to fold here if they continue to fight like this?

For Qi Nian's anger, Chen Guo's side did usher in hope.

That's right, just now, Li He personally led 50,000 people to support Cijing.

opened the city gate and directly started a frontal battle, the rebels were defeated and retreated, and for a while, they actually messed up the enemy's morale.

The rebels reacted quickly and began to retreat directly.

The battlefield came to a halt in less than a quarter of an hour, leaving only a pile of bones and limbs.

"The general wants to pursue?" The adjutant next to Li He asked.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, clean up the battlefield." Li He gave the order.

"Yes!" The lieutenant nodded. Then he turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Clean up the battlefield!" ”

Li He led the troops to the battle, and Ye Chen made Li He the general of the hussars, and from that moment on, he was no longer Ye Xuanyuan's deputy general.

Xie Guiping led the others to other cities along the route to help, but he couldn't be with Li He.

Li He knew very well that the north was basically Li Yun's sphere of influence now.

Li Yun's 800,000-strong army, if they pursued it north, I am afraid that it would not be long before they were ambushed.

The original general stationed in the capital city was hit by three arrows, but he didn't say a word and was directly taken down for treatment.

Li He also went back to the city and went to find the people in the city to understand the situation.

"Who is the opposing general?" Li He asked Xu Yuandao, a strategist in the second capital.

"General Hui, the leader of the rebels is Qi Nian."

Qi Nian? It's not easy.

Li He has been in the south all the year round, although he has not had any intersection with Qi Nian, but he has also survived some of his legends. This person will repay his eyes, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal.

What's more, he has his own uniqueness in the art of war, and his martial arts are strong. This time he has caused him to lose so many people, and he will not give up if he thinks about it.

But it doesn't matter, it's a never-ending situation now.

"How long have you been on guard?" Li He continued to ask.

"It's been half a month, they have been aided by the army, and our army is tight, the original 60,000 troops, now only 30%." Xu Yuan said respectfully.

"How much do you know about Qi Nian?" Li He is not a stubborn person, and when he first arrived, he naturally didn't know as much as these strategists.

"Qi Nian's siege is generally fast-paced, and the time is uncertain, but the interval will not be too long. It is believed that he will have the next round of attacks soon. Xu Yuan said according to the law he had observed for half a month.

Li He couldn't help but glance at Xu Yuan a few more times, it seems that none of the strategists recruited by the imperial court in the past year or so are not vegetarians. The ability to be sent to an important city like Jijing should not be underestimated.

"What are your strategies for coping?" Li He directly asked Xu Yuan's opinion. Of course, in fact, he already had his own thoughts in his own heart.

From such a simple conversation, Xu Yuan had a general understanding of what kind of person General Li He was in front of him. It is indeed a great general, not rigid and self-serving, not underestimating the enemy.

In Xu Yuan's previous cognition, the terrain in the south was complex, and this kind of large-scale fighting rarely appeared. The habits of the soldiers should all belong to the conservatives.

Who knew that as soon as Li He came today, he directly opened the city gate and rushed forward to fight with the enemy. Let's not talk about whether this approach is right or not, let's talk about Li He himself.

After eating the forward generals, the general leaders are in the rear to coordinate the overall situation and make suggestions. Who knew that as soon as this Li He came, he actually rushed directly to the front of the army.

And the soldiers under Li He didn't seem to be strange at all.

What surprised Xu Yuan even more was that these soldiers under Li He were stronger than these soldiers in the north, and their reactions were flexible, not the kind of people who were brave and brave.

Xu Yuan really hasn't seen such an army, is this the army cultivated by the King of War?

In the past, Xu Yuan always felt that the war king was not as powerful as they said, and a scholar and a strategist thought that he should have his own judgment. Therefore, he has always been suspicious of the deeds in the legend of the Battle King, and the legend is exaggerated.

But now, Xu Yuan actually believes a little.

Li He didn't go after Qi Nian's army today, which means that he is not a reckless man.

Zhang Chi has a degree, Chana Yayan, a rare general.

"I thought I could fight a war of attrition." Xu Yuan actually had this idea a long time ago, but Cijing also lacked grain and grass, and he really couldn't afford to fight a war of attrition.

When Li He heard this, he was overjoyed: "Let's hear it." ”

With Li He's permission, Xu Yuanzi no longer evaded: "Qi Nian has a large number of reinforcements to replenish, but no matter how many reinforcements there are, there will always be a day when they will be exhausted." But our army is not as large as the other side, and we will definitely consume faster than theirs. Every soldier's life is worthy of being valued, so a replacement of one person will do us more harm than good. My so-called war of attrition is not about consuming people, but about food. ”

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Li He's face, and seeing that Li He didn't react, he continued: "Although the other party's soldiers support quickly, grain and grass are not abundant in the north in the first place, and now in the eyes of the drought in the south, the source of grain and grass in the north is even more tense. Originally, before General Li came, Cijing could not send people to transport grain and grass, but now we don't need to, and we have enough manpower to provide material support in the rear.

In the past year, the imperial court has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, and the army itself in the north is not very numerous, and the supply of grain and grass is sufficient. Li Yun's army of 800,000 must be a big problem with grain and grass.

In short, we and them are more than they are, and we have a lot of food. When they consume our army, we consume their food and grass, and we privately think that this is the strategy with the least loss and the greatest gain. ”

In fact, from the first battle today, Li He could sense that the combat effectiveness of the opposing soldiers was not as good as that of these soldiers under his command who had been specially trained and systematically.

It was intended to be used here for guerrilla warfare in the south, to harass it from time to time, and then to withdraw. Give someone a taste of their own medicine. Being passive is always a disadvantage. When they are resting, their own side must cheer up, and when they attack, their own side must be even more energetic.

The soldiers are human beings, not gods, and if this continues, they will collapse sooner or later. Therefore, if you can't change your disadvantages, you have to let the other party be in the same mental state as them, so as not to widen the gap.

In addition, his own soldiers are strong, and they are not afraid to fight.

But as soon as Xu Yuan's war of attrition was proposed, Li He changed his mind.

In fact, Xu Yuan's strategy has some truth. But he only thinks about it for the sake of the army, what about the people?

The reserve of grain and grass in the imperial court is sufficient, but these grains and grass are consumed by the army, so how can the people of the famine be good?

Li He didn't know what the purpose of these people in the north was fighting. But he knew that Ye Xuanyuan had always told them that they were fighting not only for the country of Chen, the world of the country of Chen, but also for the people.

Even if one day these people are no longer Chen Guoren. Therefore, Ye Xuanyuan never slaughtered the people of the enemy country in battle, unless those people were no longer ordinary people, but a member of the enemy army.

Li Yun didn't need it, as long as he attacked the city, his people would inevitably be slaughtered.

This caused the people to complain, panic and revolt. The more they resisted, the more reason Li Yun had to kill them.

Li Yun doesn't seem to care about fame anymore, and he is completely like a beast.

Li He only felt sorry for the 800,000 troops under Li Yun. There is no way for that group of people to retreat now, and since the rebels began to pretend to surrender, and finally fought back and suffered heavy losses, the imperial court no longer accepted the surrender.
