Chapter 420: A Slight Advantage

Lin Yan couldn't help but blame them, but gave each of them a good horse for them to travel.

In addition, Xing Tianze and Wuxian were standing at the head of Jiangming City, and the three armies were busy, placing the things that should be arranged in a fixed position.

Xing Tianze and Wuxian looked at Yin Pingzhen's military camp not far away, and their hearts were full of complicated feelings.

The two of them had already made up their minds that this battle with Fuyang Kingdom would not wipe out all their main forces, at most they would weaken their strength as much as possible.

It is expected that the outside must be settled first, although the emperor does not have much strength now, as long as he sits in that position for a day, Xing Tianze must always sit on pins and needles.

In the eyes of the two of them, it seems that the whole world is their chess game, whether it is Qingcang Kingdom or Fuyang Kingdom, they are all external forces that they can rely on.

As the saying goes, as long as there is an empire left in this world, the emperor will not dare to do anything to kill me.

Because the emperor also needs Xing Tianze to protect the country and the people for him and even to pacify the world, the five princes also have to use these foreign wars to add prestige to him again and again, and accumulate the strength in their hands to ensure a lot of time to deal with the emperor.

Time passed quickly, and five days passed like this, and Lin Yan really couldn't suppress the intentions of his generals, so he dispatched 100,000 troops to the city walls of Jiangming City.

Xing Tianze rode out of the city alone on a dark horse and met Lin Yan alone in the middle of the two armies.

"Marshal Lin hasn't seen him for many days, but is he still fine?" Xing Tianzepi said with a smile: "You said goodbye in the capital that day, and this king was ashamed to be able to give you a ride, but I didn't expect you and I to meet on the battlefield today." ”

"Is the fifth prince okay? I also remember that in the palace of Xingzhao Kingdom, you and I used to drink and talk happily, but I really didn't expect that we would fight each other today. Lin Yan sighed slightly.

Lin Yan then spoke: "Why don't you and I stop the army and lead the army to return to each other and live in peace in the future?" ”

"If you know that you are not my enemy, why do you not submit to this king? You and I will return to the capital together to meet the emperor? Xing Tianze spoke slowly.

"Does the emperor still have such a high status in your eyes?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.

Xing Tianze didn't answer his question immediately, his gaze glanced over Lin Yan's army in Fuyang Kingdom.

"The battlefield changes rapidly, since Generalissimo Lin doesn't want to submit to this king, then please use good soldiers!" After Xing Tianze said this, he rode around and returned to the city.

When Lin Yan returned to his own camp, he slowly pulled out the sword on his waist and ordered the siege of the city, and the army of Fuyang Kingdom, which had endured for many days, was full of strength and attacked Jiangming City.

Under the command of Traceless and Xing Tianze, countless arrows flew down from the top of the city like raindrops, and the first to bear the brunt was the first group of soldiers in the Fuyang Kingdom.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and after the army of Fuyang Kingdom was repulsed for the fourth time, and Yin Pingzhen also led his soldiers and horses to arrive, Lin Yan gave up the general order to forcibly attack the city and led his troops back to the camp.

However, it also lost nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, but the loss of Xingzhao was less than 8,000 people.

After this battle, the three armies of Fuyang Kingdom knew Xing Tianze's strength, and for a while, the generals who tried their best to lead the army into battle suddenly fell into silence, waiting for Lin Yan's next general order.

At night, Wuxian and Xing Tianze looked at the map in the marshal hall, both of them were anxious about one thing, there was not much food and grass left in the army.

Although they had snatched hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass from the Xue family, they had sent 100,000 stones to the disaster area in Nanjun, and they had also left nearly half of the grain and grass for Yin Pingzhen.

In addition to the consumption of a few days on the road, the remaining grain and grass in the army was less than 20 days, although Xing Tianze had sent people back to the capital to ask the emperor to transfer grain and grass from Shuzhong, but it would take at least more than 20 days to reach the front line.

Therefore, they must fight extremely in this battle, and they must achieve the maximum gain at the lowest cost, otherwise, they will definitely give Lin Yan a chance.

Although Yin Pingzhen's army was stationed outside the city, he was not afraid of Lin Yan besieging Jiang Ming City, but everything had to be said in case.

Suddenly, without a trace, he locked his eyes on Hua Umbrella, which was the farthest away from Jiangming City, nearly six hundred miles away. And according to the information they received, Lin Yan arranged nearly 100,000 defenders here.

If Traceless hadn't guessed wrong, Lin Yan must have hoarded their grain and grass here.

The matter of grain and grass is also what Xing Tianze is most worried about, Lin Yan's army of 450,000 is not terrible, what makes him feel a little helpless is that the army of Fuyang State has a lot of food.

According to the intelligence, the emperor of Fuyang Kingdom prepared 600,000 stone of grain and grass for this battle, so Lin Yan dared to stand still without fear.

"Find a way to get the grain and grass here." Xing Tianze's tone was extremely resolute.

Wuxian smiled a little bitterly, if he remembered correctly, every time he and Xing Tianze came out to fight, they were worried about the matter of grain and grass, and every time they snatched it from the hands of the enemy, but they didn't expect it to be this time.

"Since Lin Yan can place grain and grass in the Hua umbrella, it means that he should have made a lot of preparations." Traceless frowned slightly.

Lin Yan should know why Nangong Yuan was defeated in the hands of Xing Tianze before, so he would definitely not repeat the mistake of giving the Fifth Prince such a good opportunity.

There are too many things that 100,000 defenders can do to guard grain and grass, on the surface, this may be a piece of fat, but in fact, maybe Lin Yan has already arranged a net for them to throw themselves into the net.

At this time, Tao Mingxi suddenly took Zhu'er to the handsome hall: "What time is it, you still haven't slept yet?" ”

"Xi'er, what are you doing so late?" After seeing Tao Mingxi, Xing Tianze's eyes instantly softened.

"I saw that you hadn't come to my courtyard for dinner for several days, and I was afraid that you would be tired, so I asked Zhu'er to boil you a pot of chicken soup." Tao Mingxi waved his hand, and Zhu'er stepped forward with chicken soup.

"It's been raining continuously for the past few days, so you must pay attention to safety when you go out to the army." Tao Mingxi's tone revealed a little worry.

Since arriving at the southern front, Tao Mingxi has seen the sun twice, and the rest of the time it is all rainy.

After hearing this, a burst of light immediately erupted in his eyes, and he really had a mistake in the end, and he actually forgot the most important time.

He didn't even bother to drink the chicken soup and turned around and stared at the map, Xing Tianze suddenly thought of something, and after waving his hand at Zhu'er, he locked a position on the map.

"What's going on with you two? I let Zhu'er stay up all afternoon with this chicken soup, and even if I don't like it, I have to take two sips symbolically. A look of displeasure appeared on Tao Mingxi's face.

"Xi'er, you are really too smart, you are really a good princess of this king." Xing Tianze turned around and spoke.
