Chapter 12 - The Disaster of Xuancheng
"That's right, that's what I thought!" Feng Baiyi did not shy away from meeting the surprised looks of Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan. made Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan a little overwhelmed.
"Master, why do we still have to divide into teams? Do we really have to fight" Gao Hanyue was the eldest of the four children, but her curiosity was stronger than Shi Lanbo, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan. After thinking about it for a while, Gao Hanyue was the first to ask such a question.
Feng Baiyi nodded deeply and said with a smile: "Yue'er's words are exactly what I want to say, I just want to divide the four of you into two groups immediately." In this way, we can learn some basic theoretical knowledge every morning, and conduct practical training in the afternoon, I believe that in this way, you will be able to show excellent ability in a short time. ”
Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan felt that Feng Baiyi's words were good, if they were just there tomorrow to blindly teach basic knowledge, the improvement for the four of them would be very small. Although they are still young, it is not very difficult to memorize a lot of this knowledge. But the problem is that theoretical knowledge can only help them for a while at most, and will not help them for a lifetime. Perhaps after many years of precipitation, these so-called "basic theories" will not be of much use.
However, the experience of actual combat is tempered through actual combat one by one. It's something they'll never easily forget for the rest of their lives. So, Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan also nodded. Before you know it, night has fallen on the entire Demon Spirit Continent. Gao Hanyue left Yu Yaoqin and left the peach blossom forest with Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan. went back to the grass hut to rest, Feng Baiyi and Shi Lanbo talked about some things about the soul of the instrument, and then went back to rest. Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan's hearts of the four children, no matter which of the four people Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, they all invariably look forward to tomorrow's actual battle
In March, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the spring breeze slowly blows the Buddha, and the ice that was originally condensed on the continent has gradually disappeared, replaced by green seedlings one after another. The people also began to return to their homes and fields one after another, and began their working life in the new year. For them, they expect every year to be a year of harmony and stability. But now the situation is different, the Yue people in the northernmost part of the Qi State have rebelled against the Qi State, and have begun to gather troops from all walks of life to prepare and besiege Xuancheng, and then take the capital of the Qi State in one fell swoop. And the armies from all over the Qi country naturally began to rush to the aid of the national capital. If, at this time, the feudal state sent an army to attack Donglinguan and Ruocheng, it would almost be easy to take it.
It's just that Mocha, the patriarch of the Yue tribe, sent people to ask for help from the feudal state many times, promising to divide the land equally after destroying the Qi state. This huge ** logically has no reason not to send troops. Even if it is just to send an army of tens of thousands of people, it is enough to make the Qi country, which can't take care of the beginning and the end now, drink a pot. However, now the armies from all over the Qi country have begun to rush to the aid of Xuancheng, once the troops from all over the country gather outside the city of Xuancheng, it should not be a problem to fight inside and outside and repel the invasion of the Yue army.
It's a pity that the envoy sent by Mocha arrived in Zhongcheng, and the army under the command of Guangwujun refused to dispatch, and the army under Guangwujun originally wanted the Fengzhan Society to be dispatched to reinforce the attack of the Yue. However, the army of the Feudal War Society stationed in Dream City was naturally unwilling to dispatch, and they also wanted to let the army under the command of Guangwu Jun attack first, and they all wanted the other party to consume the army of the Qi State. As everyone knows, if under such circumstances, the army under the command of Guangwu Jun and the army of the Fengzhan Society can jointly attack Donglinguan and Ruocheng, and then attack Huicheng and Jincheng, which have almost no troops to garrison. Cooperate with the Yue army that has already besieged Xuancheng to attack from the south and the north, if this is the case, the Qi State will definitely perish.
It's just that now, both the Feng Zhanhui and Guangwujun's army are unwilling to dispatch easily, and they have missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Qi State. The envoys of the Yue tribe came many times to find the Feng Zhanhui and the army under the command of Guangwu Jun for rescue. But all he got were ambiguous answers, and in desperation, the envoy of the Yue tribe could only go back to Xuancheng silently.
The Yue army may not know that for them, the failure to ask for help is a turning point when their Yue people are in full swing. Of course, at this time, it really didn't matter to Mocha and the Yue army under his command, who had already been carried away by the victory, and they firmly believed that even if they didn't have the help of the feudal army, they would be able to take Xuancheng smoothly.
However, this time was indeed a time of great pressure, the Yue people gathered countless troops, and the army of about 150,000 people was divided into four roads to besiege Xuancheng at a critical moment. The head of Xuancheng City is in flames every day, and the war is endless. The royal guards who swore to defend the castle to the death defended the castle every day, but gradually, as the days passed. The grain and grass reserves in Xuancheng are not too much, according to the official in charge of grain and grass in Xuancheng reported to the prime minister of the palace, it is already very good that the grain and grass in Xuancheng can last for another month.
For such a very difficult matter, this old prime minister, who has been in the officialdom for more than 30 years, is also a headache. Now that Xuan Lejun is sick, the old prime minister does not dare to disturb him. And the current state politics has basically relied on this prime minister and the doctor Sun He to preside over together. And the appearance of the first prince of Qi, Duke Xia Yu, who has been Rong Ma all his life, also makes the military against the Yue people not a problem for the time being. Under Xia Yu's command, there is no great difficulty in guarding Xuancheng for the time being. It's just that Xia Yu's own health is not very good, large and small illnesses have been haunting him for many years, and for Xia Yu, he knows that his body cannot last for a long time. They were now able to hold out until reinforcements arrived, and it was a victory.
Facing the cold spring breeze that was still blowing slowly, Xia Yu, who was standing on the city tower, was wearing white armor, and he was also wearing a white battle helmet on his head. It is lined with soft armor made of silver fox deerskin. This set of armor was also personally given to Xia Yu by Xuan Lejun's father back then. Symbolizes his title of First Prince. At this time, Xia Yu was already dying of old age and no longer had the courage of the past. However, in the minds of countless armies, the title of Xia Yu Wang Jue can command all the armies of the Qi Kingdom. So, in Xia Yu's call, all the soldiers guarding Xuancheng were united, coupled with Xia Yu's good command and proper scheduling, Xuancheng was able to rely on only more than 10,000 troops to withstand the more than 100,000 troops gathered by the Yue people. However, such persistence is only a matter of time, as long as the reinforcements do not come in a few days, Xuancheng will definitely fall.
"I don't know when the reinforcements will come back" Xia Yu is old, but the strength is still not weak. For Xia Yu, he deeply realized that this might be the last time he would fight for the country in his life.
His two daughters, Xia Qing and Xia Yun, have left him, and the whole ten years of suffering have made Xia Yu's spirit already on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for this time, he was ordered to protect the safety of Xuancheng. It is very likely that Xia Yu is no longer alive. It was precisely because of the invasion of the Yue people that Xia Yu temporarily forgot his heartache.
At this moment, Xia Yu looked at the dense and scattered large number of camps outside the city, Xia Yu's heart suddenly jumped, and a brilliant idea had come to Xia Yu's heart. His gaze seemed to return to the same method he had used when he was playing against another general.
Indeed, the current Yue soldiers are strong and strong, and there is abundant food and grass (although the feudal state did not send military support, it is because their internal contradictions are now intensifying. Neither side wants to lose their troops. However, whether it was Guangwujun's side or the Fengzhan Society, transporting some surplus materials to fund the Yue uprising, both of them were happy to do these things. )。 And with dozens of times the strength of the defenders of Xuancheng, the patriarch of the Yue tribe, Mocha, personally commanded the siege. For him, the capture of Xuancheng was not just a tactical meaning and his own revenge. Xuancheng has a really important strategic role for them.
Xuancheng, the eternal capital of the 700-year history of Qi. And between the seven hundred years of Qi country's history, there was a period of time when the Qi country almost unified the Demon Spirit Continent. It was because the army that rebelled against Qi attacked Xuancheng and it ended temporarily, causing the army that rebelled against Qi politics to retreat westward, plus cooperating with the army from the west of the original Demon Spirit Continent to start fighting against Qi. In the end, a situation of confrontation between the two countries slowly formed. Therefore, according to the normal historical development, if it weren't for the fact that the Qi State estimated that they were the capital back then, maybe there would be only one country in the Demon Spirit Continent now.
Mocha stood on top of a dirt hill not far from Xuancheng, and began to look at Xuancheng with thick walls in the distance, he was wearing an orange cloak, and his face had already shaved off his beard. Standing there in the face of the slowly blowing spring breeze and dominating Xuancheng! This is Mocha's dream for many years, and now it is about to come true. Mocha naturally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and commanded the army to storm Xuancheng day and night. He believed that Xuancheng would be able to achieve his hegemony. Therefore, no matter what the price is, he must take Xuancheng!
"Someone!" Mocha was full of emotion in his heart, he looked at Xuancheng with a faint outline in the distance, he couldn't help but shout to a few guards standing there beside him, "Give me an order to the front army! You must not let the army in Xuancheng rest, don't they know Xia Yu's ability? Attack me quickly! After two hours, change to the Chinese army, and continue to attack for me! If you can't take Xuancheng in these two days, maybe the reinforcements of Qi State will arrive!"
"Yes, yes, yes" Several of the guards standing beside Mocha nodded quickly, and quickly left Mocha's side to deliver the message.
