Chapter 16 - Breaking the Siege of Xuancheng

"Really, what you said is true, reinforcements are finally coming" On the tower of Xuancheng City, two soldiers in armor paced and rushed to the main gate of Xuancheng, telling the fact that the reinforcements of the Qi army rushed from the south of the city to a white-haired old general who was still standing on the Xuancheng tower at this moment, nervously commanding his soldiers to desperately guard the head of the city. When the old general in golden armor heard the news, his already silent eyes were full of disbelief, and his face was full of tears. His voice trembled a little.

This old general is Xia Yu, the first general of Qi who has been crisscrossing the Demon Spirit Continent for decades, Xia Yu has already established great feats and achieved his own legend as early as the reign of the emperor of Qi in the previous generation. And now, for the sake of his beloved Qi State and Xuancheng, he has retired for more than 20 years, and Xia Yu, who has long been gray-haired and old, has once again put on the robe that he personally rewarded His Majesty the Emperor more than 20 years ago. The defenders who commanded Xuancheng continued to defend Xuancheng, and it was precisely because of Xia Yu that the defenders of Xuancheng barely held out until now. And now, the persistence that has been held out has paid off, and they have finally made it to the time when reinforcements come.

Xia Yuqiang held back the emotion and excitement rushing out of his heart, and he quickly tightened the belt around his waist, trying his best to calm himself. However, Xia Yu still couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, and asked excitedly: "Where are the reinforcements? Take me to see!" After so many years of dominating the world, he has long been accustomed to strong winds and waves, accustomed to conspiracy and poisonous schemes, Xia Yu, who has tasted all the flavors of life, is as excited as a child at this moment, and his hands have worn out calluses. Xia Yu trembled with his hands, and was led by the soldiers to the west of Xuancheng.

In fact, there are not many troops stationed in the west of Xuancheng City, only 30,000 people. For the defense of the west tower, Xia Yu did not arrange many soldiers to be stationed here. So now, the west of Xuancheng has become a breakthrough for reinforcements.

The leader of the Yue tribe, Mocha, has already vetoed the original plan to besiege Xuancheng from all sides and break the city together. He had now gathered almost all the troops, and there were probably more than 100,000 elite soldiers who stormed the front of Xuancheng. To a certain extent, great pressure has been put on Xuancheng, and soldiers have continuously climbed the head of Xuancheng in the past few days. Fortunately, these soldiers who boarded up were also cleared in time, otherwise the thief Xuancheng had already broken the city at this moment. However, in fact, if the reinforcements came a few days later, Xuancheng would definitely not be able to hold it. Although the Yue people's attacks day and night also consumed their energy, for the defenders of Xuancheng, this kind of day was simply torment.

"Keep the clouds open, see the moon and the sky will not be destroyed, my great Qi will not be destroyed, my great Qi will not be destroyed, and the sky will have eyes, and now let these traitors be punished with the most severe punishment," this glorious legendary general actually burst into tears here, and he couldn't help himself.

Xia Yu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then regained his former heroic spirit, "Someone! Pass on my order, the whole army will begin to assemble, ready to cooperate with reinforcements at any time to prepare for a counterattack!" Xia Yu knew that it had been guarding Xuancheng for a long time now, and now it was time to counterattack.

Xia Yu regained his resolute and resolute character, and his soldiers left in response. Looking at the back of the soldier who swore and ran out, Xia Yu smiled. There was a remarkably comforting smile on the old face. Xia Yu leaned on the tower of Xuancheng City with his right hand, and looked at the main gate of Xuancheng not far away, and basically retreated to the main gate of Xuancheng to attack Xuancheng. However, even so, Xia Yu was still worried that the few Yue soldiers in the west of the city would notice their reinforcements.

However, Xia Yu keenly noticed that the reinforcements outside the city under the banner of Qi did not approach Xuancheng. Instead, it was quietly stationed about a hundred miles away from Xuancheng, and it was precisely because of this way of camping that it did not attract the attention of the Yue troops stationed in the west of the city. It is also because of this that their Yue clan is doomed to fail.

Xia Yu couldn't hide the ecstasy surging in his heart, he waved his fist vigorously, smiled and said to himself: "Yue soldiers, no matter how many of you are now, when we attack inside and outside, I'm afraid that you will die and have no place to be buried!"

Not long after, Xia Yu was once again pleasantly surprised to find the reinforcements that appeared on the left side of Xuancheng quietly waving the banner of Qi, and the Qi army that appeared behind Xuancheng and came from the south to reinforce them. Xia Yu was even a little overwhelmed by the arrival of these reinforcements, and he could only be grateful to the heavens for not destroying their great qi.

Because none of these reinforcements were too close to the Yue camp in Xuancheng, it was also because the Yue troops were all dispatched by Mocha to the main gate of Xuancheng. None of these reinforcements from all over the Qi country were discovered by the Yue patrol soldiers. And Xia Yu, naturally, had already prepared the specially trained flying pigeons and the Qi reinforcements outside the city to communicate the news, and when the time came, they immediately surrounded the inside and outside, and fought for the total annihilation of all the rebels of the Yue clan. and regain their lost ground

After a whole day of fighting, night fell on the entire Demon Spirit Continent again, wrapping Xuancheng in the thick of the night. The siege of Xuancheng has been carried out to the fifteenth day, the Yue people have all besieged the main gate of Xuancheng, the attack day and night has put the entire Xuancheng in a state of high tension, if it is not for the fact that the Qi State has now received the news of the arrival of reinforcements in the west and east of the city and the rear of the city, I am afraid that in another day or two, Xuancheng will not be able to hold.

And now, the pressure on Xuancheng of Qi State has been much less, but for the Yue soldiers besieging Xuancheng, the pressure is not ordinary. Mocha was completely anxious, but fortunately his soldiers did not find out the news of the arrival of Qi reinforcements, otherwise Mocha would have been driven crazy. Now, Mocha is barely able to sleep with his clothes.

The entire Yue barracks also began to slowly fall asleep, and the soldiers were too tired. Even without realizing it, the lights that had been lit there were suddenly extinguished, and the troops who were still guarding there had fallen down in succession with the sound of "poof-" and "poof-". The sound of a tattoo in the entire Yue military camp suddenly appeared a few times, and then returned to endless calm.

At this moment, the time is approaching the middle of the night. The number of soldiers encamped in the west, east and south of Xuancheng was already small, and these soldiers did not participate in the battle during the day and were tired of dealing with possible ambushes at night.

In the middle of the night, outside the Yue camp in the east of Xuancheng, with the sound of continuous "rustling", a group of soldiers who had already been fully armed and ready suddenly appeared one after another with their heads and polished steel knives in their hands, and they appeared from the place where they had already been ambushed, and quietly approached the Yue camp in the east on tiptoe.

"The order goes down and orders the soldiers to disperse into the camp tent and not to alarm the northern battalion, just deal with these soldiers in the general attack on the northern battalion first" The leader was wearing white armor, and the scarlet cloak behind him fluttered in the wind. The white-clothed general, who was about thirty years old and armed with a pitch-black long-handled dragon head gun, lowered his voice and instructed the soldiers around him.

"Yes!" the soldiers standing beside the general named "Chen Jie" in white clothes and white armor responded in a low voice, and then the large army dispersed into a small force and began to quietly infiltrate the camp where the Yue people no longer had many troops stationed there.

Chen Jie watched as his soldiers had almost dispersed into every camp, Chen Jie sighed softly and looked at the endless indifferent sky. With the remaining pro-soldier troops, he quietly continued to advance towards the north of Xuancheng.

At the same time, when Chen Jie and his soldiers set off to attack. On the other two sides, the reinforcements from Jincheng in the east of Xuancheng and the soldiers retreating from Quecheng in the north came from two different directions at the same time, that is, from two different directions from the east and west. These soldiers of the Qi State were also the same as the soldiers under Chen Jie, secretly infiltrated the Yue camps in the east and south of Xuancheng, dispersed into small teams and entered the camp tents, to sneak attack the soldiers of the Yue tribe who had fallen into deep sleep. Then, these generals with the army took their own soldiers and gathered at the north gate of Xuancheng according to what Xia Yu's letter said to prepare for the final joint attack.

At this time, when the time was already half past night, the reinforcements of the Qi State on the three routes had successfully eliminated the Yue army in the east, west, and south, and almost unknowingly successfully eliminated the soldiers on these three sides. Immediately, these three support armies quietly gathered on both sides of the main gate of Xuancheng. Always ready to cooperate with the defenders in Xuancheng to counterattack.

It was pitch black outside Xuancheng, but inside the gate of Xuancheng was brightly lit, Xia Yu stood on the city tower wearing golden armor, his right hand was holding a long stick lit with a pillar of fire, and passed the news of preparing to counterattack all the way down, telling all the soldiers who were preparing to attack.

Xia Yu passed down the order, ordering the soldiers to hold a torch and prepare for the final sneak attack, and when the three-way army successfully sneaked attack, a special signal would be issued. When that time comes, a three-way flanking attack will be carried out to defeat the Vietnamese army, which still has most of the army, in one fell swoop.
