The reason why Sima Hao ordered the retreat was because after the Xiyan soldiers captured Wenzhen, they had never rested and were tired of dealing with the reinforcements of the Lingnan Guard;

What's more, Sima Hao was reluctant to sacrifice these royal guards like this again, and these royal guards, in his opinion, had a greater use.

The reason why Shen Zesi and Ying Nantu retreated to the city was because the reinforcements of the Lingnan Guards had not yet arrived, and even if they did, they would need time to rest and recuperate after rushing for several days.

Moreover, Shen Zejing had already had a plan, just waiting for the Lingnan guards and time to come, Shen Zesi and Ying Nantu only planned to force the Xiyan imperial family guards back to the city gate, and did not plan to pursue them again.

Under the consideration of both sides, the situation in Queensland has a strange calm. The enemy army of Xiyan began to bury pots and cook in the green forest, and Yuan Huan and the Lingnan Wei soldiers also rushed to the city of Queensland.

"Thank you General for coming, thank you for your hard work!" When Shen Zejing saw Yuan Huan, his words were very grateful, and his tone was also very respectful.

Yuan Huan did not receive a military order, so he rushed to Queensland from Lingnan Road, no matter what it was for, this responsibility and friendship were enough to make Shen Zejing respectful.

will be outside, and the monarch's decree will not be affected. This sentence is known to the generals of Dayong, but in the final analysis, this is a disregard for the monarch, and there are almost no generals who really dare to accept this sentence.

With Jiang Bowen rebelling and Zhao Yugang collaborating with the enemy, Yuan Huan sent troops in advance, which made Shen Zejing feel even more commendable. Thinking of this, Shen Zejing stood up again and bowed to Yuan Huan.

It is for the children of the Shen family and the people of Queensland. If Yuan Huan doesn't come, he doesn't know if he can hold Queensland; Even if you can hold it, you don't know how much it will cost.

Now that Yuan Huan has arrived with 120,000 soldiers, his strategy is closer to success. - Shen Zejing thought so.

"Lord Shen is polite, to protect the territory of Dayong, Lingnan Wei is duty-bound. Zhao Yugang collaborated with the enemy and treason, and Queensland was not overturned. This is the credit of Lord Shen! ”

Yuan Huan arched his hand and looked at Shen Zejing's gaze, admiring it very much.

Zhao Yugang's collaboration with the enemy, Yuan Huan already knew. If it weren't for the Shen family's decision. assassinated Zhao Yugang and took control of Xiningwei, presumably Queensland is long gone, let alone repel Xiyan's royal guards?

The general praised it. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the great general, the enemy army in Xiyan would not have temporarily retreated. Defending Queensland and annihilating the enemy army in Xiyan relied on unity. ”

Shen Zejing is telling the truth, now the enemy army in Xiyan is still stationed in Qinglin, and the situation in Queensland has not yet been decided. This time. No one is credited.

Yuan Huan and Shen Zejing were silent for a while, indeed, Wenzhen has been lost, Queensland has not been decided, and Dayong has suffered heavy losses. How can they take credit?

If Queensland can't hold it and fails to annihilate the enemy army in Xiyan, even if they die in battle, some of them will only be the capital crime of assassinating the general and sending troops without authorization.

If Xining Dao falls, they will be sinners through the ages, emperors and courtiers. will put all the accusations and misfortunes on the two of them.

"Yes, General Ben has thought of it. However, General Ben still came with soldiers, why is Shen Dadao? ”

Immediately, Yuan Huan laughed and said. His laughter. Drove away the silence of a room.

"The invasion of the Western Yan is an unrighteous act; Ben will be in the army for decades, and he has never heard of the victory of the unrighteous army, this time, Ben will bring the Lingnan Wei soldiers to earn military merit and money! ”

didn't wait for Shen Zejing to answer. Yuan Huan laughed a few more times and said the answer himself.

Shen Zejing was slightly stunned, Yuan Huan's straightforward temperament really surprised him a little. Shen Zesi and Ying Nantu, who are bandaged on their bodies, are not used to seeing them. They had contact with Yuan Huan and knew Yuan Huan's personality.

"In this case, the next battle will have to bother the general. I have a plan, please ask the general for advice. ”

After being stunned slightly, Shen Zejing said. Regardless of Yuan Huan's temperament, and no matter whether they are meritorious or guilty at this time, defending Queensland and annihilating the enemy army in Xiyan is what they have to do!

The strategy he had thought of before was officially put forward after Yuan Huan's Lingnan guard soldiers arrived.

After listening to Shen Zejing's detailed explanation, Yuan Huan's smile changed to cautious: "This is a risky strategy, can Lord Shen be completely sure?" ”

He looked at Shen Yule beside Shen Zejing, his eyes uncertain.

He knew that Si Tiantai had some talented people, but the young man in front of him really had the ability to predict the heavens?

"General, my observations and divination will not be wrong. Uncle's method is the method with the least loss, and it must be feasible. I don't want to see the soldiers die in vain, and I don't joke about Queensland. ”

Shen Yule said stiffly. Ever since he knew that Wenzhen was lost, Shen Yule hadn't laughed. Even in the face of Yuan Huan, a general, his tone was not good.

Shen Zejing knew that this nephew was feeling sorry for Shen Yuhong, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He didn't have time to grieve, but Shen Yule couldn't hide his pain.

"Two days later, there will be an east wind in Queensland, and it will be a once-in-a-century east wind!" Shen Yule's voice was still muffled, and he could hear that he was in an extremely bad mood.

Even so, Ben Jiang also believed in Lord Shen's judgment. The 120,000 soldiers and horses of Lingnan Wei will definitely fully cooperate with Lord Shen's plan. ”

For a long time, Yuan Huan said this, expressing his support for Shen Zejing's method. Judging from his dealings with the Shen family, the Shen family is absolutely trustworthy.

"Thank you for your support! This battle of Queensland will definitely go down in history! ”

Shen Zejing said in a deep voice, with an accurate prediction of the situation. As a fourth-grade officer, he clearly knows what the significance of this battle will be if all the arrangements are in place!

Seeing Shen Zejing so confident, Yuan Huan lost his mind for a moment. Shen Zejing's current courage and prestige are not just the prestige of a four-rank civil official.

He couldn't help but think of the rumors of Biyun Cong, and after entering Queensland, Shen Zejing rode Biyun Cong, like a myth, which reached his ears. Queensland officials and people are fanatical about Bi Yuncong and Shen Zejing, Yuan Huan can see it very clearly, and there is also a trace of awe in his heart.

The auspiciousness of Biyuncong, coupled with the mysterious crossbow bed that Shen Zesi carried, made Yuan Huan smell a trace of unusual smell: the Shen family's plot seems to be a bit big.

"What do you still have orders from the general?" Shen Zejing's question brought back Yuan Huan's mind.

Yuan Huan looked at Shen Zejing's frank gaze, and then looked at the injured Shen family members around him, only smiled, and had nothing to say.

Let's say that in the camp tent of the enemy army in Xiyan outside Queensland, Sima Hao summoned his generals to discuss the arrangements for the next siege.

Since the invasion of Dayong, Xiyan has lost nearly 20,000 soldiers, and only one city in Wenzhen has been blocked here in Queensland. This result made Sima Hao difficult to accept.

He drove the expedition himself, and what he longed for, of course, was invincible. There is a rebellion and a catastrophe in Dayong, such a court is exhausted, and God will never bless it. Sima Hao believes that this is the best time to go to Dayong.

But he didn't want to, 100,000 Xining guards could block his offensive, and he also lost nearly 500 royal guards!

When Yuan Huan came with the Lingnan guards, Sima Hao didn't dare to attack the city easily. He had to be fully prepared for the next attack.

On the one hand, the assembly of the second siege ballista bed was stepped up to improve the strategy of using troops; On the other hand, he urgently sent a letter to Xie Tongfu and asked him to enter Queensland immediately to inspect the situation in Queensland.

Xie Tongfu still didn't hear from him, and Sima Hao guessed that Xie Tongfu and Zhao Yugang had had an accident. Under such a premonition, the enemy army of Xiyan once again launched an attack on Queensland City.

This attack was still met with desperate resistance from the Dayong soldiers. The arrival of reinforcements from the Lingnan Guard seems to have greatly encouraged the soldiers of Xining Wei, and even the crossbow bed guarding the city seems to have increased by two, and the bows and arrows are like rain and nets, protecting Queensland City.

Both sides fought to the death, each with heavy losses. The enemy army of Xiyan approached the gate of Queensland again and again, and the soldiers of Dayong also went out again and again to meet the enemy. The two sides left a corpse outside the city gate of Queensland, the sun was shining, and the rotting gas of the dead corpse attracted vultures to circle again and again.

However, the situation in Queensland still cannot be said who will win and who will lose. This continued until the end of the third day.

Before that, the gates of Queensland were opened, and a tide of Dayong soldiers poured out from inside. More than 100,000 Dayong soldiers all rushed out of the gate of Queensland, as if they were going to fight to the death with the enemy army in Xiyan.

The number of enemy troops in Xiyan, no matter how it is calculated, is more than 100,000 more than the soldiers of Dayong, and of course Xiyan is fearless in such a hand-to-hand fight. Sima Hao even welcomed the move of the Dayong soldiers!

However, to the surprise of Sima Hao and the Xiyan soldiers, these hundreds of thousands of Dayong soldiers not only held weapons in their hands, but also held regiments of things.

If you look closely, it turned out to be a clump of straw, quilts, cotton clothes and other things, which seemed to be sprinkled with water.

So many straws, quilts, and it seems that the straw cotton clothes in the entire Queensland city have appeared here. What are these things used for?

The soldiers of Dayong, who rushed to the front, only had weapons in their hands and did not have these quilts, as if they were not dying, they desperately resisted the offensive of the Xiyan soldiers, and even forced the Xiyan enemy to retreat.

A foot away from the Queensland city wall, the Dayong soldiers, who were holding quilts and rice stalks, suddenly stopped. Then, to the disbelief of the Xiyan soldiers, they actually set fire to these straws, quilts, and cotton clothes!

As soon as these cotton clothes and straw were ignited, they became a huge line of defense against the sea of fire. Only then did the enemy army in Xiyan discover that the straw and quilts sprinkled on them turned out to be fire oil!

At this time, the sun is shining, and there is even a hidden west wind, and the fire is spreading to the city of Queensland! This sea of fire is approaching the city of Queensland!

The actions of the Dayong soldiers made the enemy army in Xiyan incredulous, and even Sima Hao couldn't help but straighten up. Is this move by the Dayong soldiers to bring about their own destruction?

But immediately, Sima Hao ordered with a shocked face: "Retreat quickly!" Hurry back! ”

However, it was already too late.

Midnight! There is also a shift in the evening! Please wait.
