Chapter 604: Forced to retreat

Lu Cheng.

Today's Xue Chong is unusual, no longer concerned about the urgent war, and only sits in the study and drinks tea. Because he has always been nervous and impatient, Leng Buding has become calm, but the people below are not adaptable, the soldiers are uneasy, and the people are panicked.

Xu Zhi, the strategist of the Xue family, couldn't sit still, so he came over to meet him and asked cautiously:

"General, can you still fight today?"

Xue Chong snorted and said lightly: "What are you anxious about?" ”

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Xue Chong stopped talking and ignored him.

Xu Zhi waited for a long time, and found that he had nothing to ask again, so he had to retreat in a sneering manner.

As soon as Xu Zhi left, Chen Tian came in, smiled with a smile, and whispered to Xue Chong:

"General, the people have been arranged, tonight, the group of savages in the Feng Ming Kingdom can bear it!"

Xue Chong laughed.

……

In the middle of the night.

Chang Xi was watching the soldiers carefully count the number of weapons in the open space where the weapons were placed.

At this moment, I suddenly saw that the camp where the grain and grass were stored in the distance was blazing on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the tongue of fire soared so high that it seemed that even the night sky was swallowed up. The flames were blazing, like fiery red monsters, unscrupulously spreading their claws and fangs, and they were fierce under the starry night sky.

The soldiers who were on the night patrol were stunned by the sudden fire, and then the camp began to be turned on their backs, scurrying like flies, and everyone shouted:

"It's on fire! The grain and grass are on fire! Put out the fire! Extinguish the fire! ”

Chang Xi's heart sank, and he stared at the fire above the grain and grass camp. How much grain and grass can be saved by such a big fire? The food and grass prepared by the Feng Ming Kingdom for the war is sufficient, and if such a fire continues, the Feng Ming Kingdom will undoubtedly be in trouble.

"Your Excellency!" His subordinate Si Nan frowned, and called softly, the grain and grass camp was secretly attacked, which was unexpected by the Feng Ying Kingdom army, and the strong sense of tension was overwhelming.

"Sinan!" Chang Xi stared straight at the raging fire in the distance, and suddenly spoke, his voice was much lower than usual, but his tone was as calm as usual, he slowly ordered, "Take people to bring all the weapons sent today, as well as siege weapons, all with them, see the situation and retreat, no matter how bad it is, withdraw directly to Liangcheng, don't fall into the hands of Long Xiren!" ”

Si Nan frowned, and before he could speak, suddenly, the war drums thundered, accompanied by a loud shout of killing, and the army of Long Xi Kingdom attacked the camp of Feng Ying Kingdom at night!

"Withdraw!" Chang Xigao drank and ran in the opposite direction.

Sinan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to carry the weapons and retreat to the rear.

Chang Xi rushed all the way to the entrance of the camp, when he ran, the army of Long Xiguo had begun to pour into the camp like a tide, the morale of the vanguard army was high, holding spears and spears, picking people when they saw them, and the rockets shot by the archers on both sides were like clusters of ghost fires in hell in the dark night, when they hit the camp tent, the camp tent was on fire, and the people were also burning. The whole camp was on fire everywhere, and the smoke was billowing out, almost covered in the firelight, and the faces were red.

Because of the unexpected surprise attack of the army of Long Xi Kingdom and the fire in the barracks, the army was in turmoil, and many people were killed or burned to death by surprise, and the screams were endless.

Chang Xi's face sank like water, and he pulled out the blue and white python whip on his waist to dodge the rocket, and as a result, several Longxi soldiers rushed up. When his heel hit the ground, through a fire, he saw Si Qian's sword on the opposite side rise and fall, his face was as cold as frost, and the fire was blazing, reflecting his armor red.

The two looked at each other through the fire.

During the day, he rejoiced at the sudden arrival of new weapons, and at night he was overjoyed and sad.

The army of the Longxi Kingdom that burned the grain and grass of the Fengying Kingdom and took advantage of the chaos to raid, where did they come from?

……

At the end of April of the fourth year of Xianping, because of the night attack of the army of Longxi Kingdom, the army of Fengying Kingdom suffered heavy losses without defense, and was forced to retreat, and was beaten back to Liangcheng by the army led by Xue Chong all the way.

Si Qian closed the city gate and led the troops to defend Liangcheng.

After entering the city, the losses were counted, and 20,000 people were killed and wounded in a surprise battle, and all the grain and grass were burned, and there was nothing left.

Although the grain and grass of the Feng Ying Kingdom army is transported piece by piece, and all the grain and grass will not be stored in the front camp at the front, but the grain and grass stored on the front line is not a small amount. After being burned down by the army of Longxi Kingdom, the grain and grass that were originally planned and enough for the general Baba was no longer enough for them to completely capture Longxi Kingdom, which still counted the amount of grain and grass that could be collected in the territory of Longxi Kingdom, and did not calculate the situation that the army of Longxi Kingdom was also collecting grain and grass that would cause local food shortages.

For both sides of the war, the besieging side has an absolute advantage. The besieging side decides whether the war can end, the capture of the city ends in victory, or retreats, and the defending side will not open the gates to chase after it. And the defending side wants to end the war, so it can only defeat the besieging side, or wait for the other side to retreat.

In other words, the army of the Feng Netherworld, which originally had the advantage in the war, lost its advantage because of the night attack, and now the advantage is on the side of the army of the Long Xi Kingdom.

The camp of the army of the Longxi Kingdom.

Xue Chong burst out laughing.

The generals and strategists flattered him in all kinds, some said that he was "wise and mighty", some said that he was "eloquent and strategic", and some even said that he was "a hero of the world".

Xue Chong was very happy, because he repelled the people of the Feng Ming Kingdom, and finally taught those wild people a lesson, beating them to the ground. Feng Ming Kingdom is not the land of Longxi Country, Feng Ming Kingdom is very poor, this time they burned so much grain and grass, trapped them to death, or it will not be long before they withdraw their troops, at that time he will fight all the way through, straight into Hanjing of Feng Ming Kingdom.

The battle was fought successfully, and the only regret was that his victory depended on the architecture of LΓΌ Cheng.

When the ancient city was built, some cities that were not easy to defend would secretly build tunnels with no return, just so that when the enemy soldiers came to the city, they could make a surprise attack.

This is the wisdom of our ancestors.

……

Si Qian fought a few times, but because it was not easy to fight, he retreated back. Because of the victory, the morale of the army of Long Xiguo was greatly boosted and it was unstoppable.

Retreating to Liangcheng is equivalent to entering the Huiqingling area again, Huiqingling is not easy to fight, fighting from west to east, Si Qian won by luck. Now they are defending the city, and they are being beaten from east to west by Long Xiguo, it is easy to fight, but it is not easy for them to defend.

What's more, there is also the problem of grain and grass, the grain and grass have been burned, and it is no longer enough to supply the army to enter Ji'an, so even if the battle is won, it is meaningless to move forward. If there is not enough food and grass, there will always be a retreat, in this case, the farther you fight, the more it will be consumed, and the military power will be consumed, once you retreat halfway, Long Xi Kingdom will follow closely into Feng Ming Kingdom, at that time they don't even have the military strength to defend their country, and Feng Ming Kingdom will immediately die out, as Emperor Long Xi hopes, then what they are doing now is just a ridiculous death struggle.

Leaving this kind of evaluation for future generations, what is the difference between it and a clown who jumps off the beam?
