Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Castle of Hirano is Lost, and the Eastern Battlefield Falls

A wonderful misunderstanding was born.

Su Chen did not predict the prophet, when the second prince was shocked to find out that Linshan City sent cavalry, he accidentally let one of them escape, in fact, the second prince at that time had already guessed that the Sijia army in the city was not able to withdraw the troops.

However, he was suspicious by nature, and sent people to gather the corpses of thirty-eight horsemen and put them under the mountain city to demonstrate, while constantly sending soldiers to carry out tentative attacks.

There are all these things about the caution and thoughts of the second prince, Liu Taishou doesn't know.

Today, by coincidence, the image of the emperor is inevitably deified in Liu Taishou's mind.

......

The night passed quickly, Zhao Yun sent people to collect all the materials of the rebel camp, returned to Linshan City with the people and the army, and at the same time sent several teams of scouts to sweep within a hundred miles outside the city, and then sent people to dock with Li Ji.

Taishou Fufu.

"You say, on this northern battlefield, there is still the army of the Three Princes? It's just that he withdrew a month ago?"

"Yes, don't hide it from General Zhao, originally the eight kings surrounded the imperial capital on all sides, in order to lengthen the battle line and make Si Yu tired, and there were two rebel princes fighting together on each battlefield. ”

Liu Taishou had already washed up, he sat on the right side of the main seat and started his hand, nodded and said: "The combat ability of the Si family army is indeed very strong, the eight princes have exhausted the organs, and the Si family army can resist the next round of offensives." Originally, after Si Yu withdrew his troops, the situation in the north battlefield became very dangerous, but not long ago, the army of the third prince suddenly withdrew and disappeared, leaving only the 200,000 troops of the second prince. ”

"How many troops did the three princes withdraw?"

"At least 150,000 people, if it weren't for their sudden retreat, Linshan City would have fallen long ago. ”

"150,000 ......"

Zhao Yun frowned, he was a little uncertain at this time.

Originally, Zhao Yun planned to rectify in Linshan City, and after Li Ji and him converged, he would divide his troops into two ways.

One way directly into the fiefdom of the second prince to subdue the cities of the northern battlefield that fell along the way and the rebel fiefdom of at least one county, and the other way to support the other three battlefields to speed up the pacification of the turmoil.

But now Liu Taishou told him that there was still an army of at least 150,000 people who had disappeared and was difficult to trace

Great Xia is so vast, the devil knows where they are hiding?

If they wait until there are not too many troops left in Linshan City, will they come out again to besiege Linshan City?

You must know that Zhao Yun's next layout is formulated around the direction of the southern battlefield without a large-scale enemy army, if all the cavalry is sent out to support other battlefields, Linshan City can no longer withstand a big battle.

But if it is just to defend Linshan City, this will drag 100,000 Great Xia Town Guards in Linshan City in vain, and it will not be able to complete the tactical layout of supporting the Quartet issued by the emperor.

"In the past few days, we will first straighten out the affairs of Linshan City, strengthen the protective facilities and defense lines inside and outside the city, and then discuss this matter after Li Ji enters Linshan City. ”

Soon, Zhao Yun paid attention.

Didn't the emperor send Li Ji over to be a military advisor?

This person must have some ability, wait for Li Ji to come, and see if he has any good opinions.

"Wow. ”

Liu Taishou was very conscious, hurriedly clenched his fists, and said: "General, I have prepared a house for you, which is near here, or you ...... it."

"No, I'll live in the schoolyard in the city, eat and sleep with the soldiers, and deal with the prisoners. ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and politely declined: "This is wartime, when Ge does not leave his hand, and A does not leave his body." ”

"General Gao Yi. ”

Mrs. Liu gave a serious salute with a serious face.

......

Linshan City is the farthest city from the imperial capital, with Zhao Yun pacifying the turmoil on the battlefield of Linshan City, the reinforcements from the other three battlefields of the imperial capital have also rushed to their respective battlefields to support, and most of them have made initial contact with the defense city.

The northern battlefield, the closest to the imperial capital, on the second day after Zhao Yun ended the battlefield of Linshan City, Bai Qi led 60,000 Great Xia Iron Army to arrive. At this time, when the battlefield was suspended, Bai Qi led the army into the city smoothly and joined the 3,000 defenders in the city.

These 3,000 defenders were deducted from Si Yu's hands by the Taishou of the northern battlefield, and if there were no bloody battles of these 3,000 regular troops, the northern battlefield would not be able to support the reinforcements.

On the western battlefield, there was no army in the city, and Liu Taishou was in general, and the city Taishou on the western battlefield encouraged the people to resist, and when the battlefield was losing and retreating, Li Yuanba led three hundred personal guards to kill.

Although there were only 300 people, Li Yuanba was brave and unparalleled, and directly joined the battlefield, killing three Nirvana Realm masters in the rebels on the spot, and beating the momentum of more than 100,000 rebels to a hard time, and the rebels were forced to withdraw their troops.

Two days later, Guan Yiwu rushed to the western battlefield with a large army and grain and grass, and the situation on the western battlefield was completely stable.

And on the second day after Zhao Yun held Linshan City, Su Chen also rushed to the main defensive line of the eastern battlefield, Pingye City.

Pingye City, as far as the eye can see, is the wilderness, it is the most dangerous city on the battlefield on all sides, and it is also the closest place to the eastern defense line of the Orc Empire.

......

At this time, Hirano Castle was fifty miles away.

Su Chen was wearing white armor and a long sword at his waist, looking in the direction of Hirano City.

Along the way, Su Chen always felt uneasy, so he deliberately stopped fifty miles away from Pingye City and sent a team to investigate.

"Emperor, the minister sent someone to investigate, and it was confirmed after many inquiries...... Hirano Castle has been lost!"

Lei Zhenzi reported in a deep voice and respectfully saluted Su Chen.

As soon as Lei Zhenzi's words fell, the nearby Imperial Forest Military Academy Captains were in an uproar.

"Hirano Castle lost?"

"How is this possible!"

"The eastern battlefield should be the last place where Si Yu withdrew his troops, and it stands to reason that Pingye City should be the most unlikely place to be lost!"

The captains looked at each other one after another, it was not that they were unruly and lost their temper in front of the emperor, but the news was too shocking.

According to the route and battlefield traces explored by the Royal Forest Army, Si Yu should have withdrawn in the direction of Eastern Xinjiang, and the retreat time of Si Jiajun's army should not exceed three days.

No matter how incompetent the Si Jiajun was, they had only been withdrawn for three days, and the rebels captured Pingye City?

Aren't they afraid that this is Si Jiajun's trick to lure the enemy?

Or is it that the Taishou in Hirano Castle surrendered to the enemy?

Otherwise, even if the Si family's army retreats and there are no soldiers in the city, they can at least rely on the city wall to organize people to delay for a few days.

"As I expected. ”

Su Chen frowned: "Pingye City is surrounded by a flat river, easy to attack and difficult to defend, although Pingye City is closest to the eastern frontier, it is also the most difficult place to defend on all sides. ”

The reason why Su Chen didn't want Sima Yi to come was because of the difficulty of defending Hirano City.

The other castles on the eastern battlefield are much easier to defend than Hirano Castle, but Hirano Castle, which is the core defense line ---on the eastern side, is the most difficult to defend.

As long as the rebels defeat Hirano City, they can go all the way unimpeded and directly send troops to approach the imperial capital.

At this time, the loss of Hirano Castle represents the fall of the entire eastern battlefield, and there are no troops to defend in the imperial capital, which is in danger!

We must get Hirano Castle back!

But at present, Su Chen only has 10,000 Royal Forest Army in his hands, all of which are cavalry, and he originally used this 10,000 Royal Forest Army to defend Pingye City.

If you want to use these 10,000 cavalry to attack the city...... No matter how difficult it was to defend Hirano Castle, the height and thickness of the walls were there, and it was impossible for 10,000 cavalry to capture them.

The cavalry siege can only be described as whimsical.

Unless the city is empty and there are no rebels defending it!

The scouts sent by the minister caught several rebel spies, and the minister confirmed the intelligence information from them, and at the same time personally lurked near Hirano Castle, and saw that the flag on the head of the city was replaced by the rebel flag. ”

Lei Zhenzi spoke in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "Bring the rebel spies over." ”
