Chapter 453

When the officers and men saw that the commander was so courageously raising his arms and shouting, they could not help but muster up their spirits and march towards the south in groups. The officers also took responsibility, marching all the way and reorganizing all the way. Gradually, the torch-carrying queue became more and more neat, inspired by the drummers.

When it was almost dawn, the team finally arrived at the outskirts of Fuhua County.

At this time, Fuhua County was still in the midst of fierce fighting. Although Wang Jinqian, the coach of the Northern Alliance, is incompetent, the deputy commander Zhao Dongguo is a battle-hardened general. When he analyzed the situation on the battlefield, he said to the commander Wang Jinqian: "If the Qinglong Kingdom dares to make a move against our Northern Route Army, it must have gathered most of the main forces. The last general thought that the Qinglong Kingdom behind Fuyang County and Mingyang Fort must be empty of troops. We should let the stupid people of the Qilin Kingdom fight with the main force of the Blue Dragon Kingdom in the north, and consume each other's strength. We ourselves will take the defense line of Fuhua County and Mingyang Fort as soon as possible, so that Qin Tianzhu and his main force will become rootless duckweed. At that time, even if we don't rescue the Northern Route Army of the Qilin Kingdom, the troops of the Qinglong Kingdom will not be able to jump a few times. ”

Because Wang Jinqian was timid, Zhao Dongguo simply began to call the shots. On the one hand, he analyzed the battle situation and sent people to send a fast horse to Luo Zhen, the commander of the Huaishan Kingdom of the Middle Route Army, and on the other hand, he organized a team to supervise the battle, and personally led the army to suppress the formation and command the siege.

Although Zhao Qinghai, the defender of Fuyang County, was a commander who was very good at fighting defensive battles, one day of this war may have been the most terrifying day he had ever encountered. Due to the huge number of troops brought by the Xuanwu State this time, even if a team of 150,000 people was sent to reinforce the Northern Route Army, they still had more than 600,000 people. Zhao Dongguo learned from his previous combat experience and ordered the siege of the city on all sides and the attack at the same time, leaving the defenders to take care of themselves everywhere and unable to support any other places.

This trick worked very well, the battle began at dawn the next day, and only by noon, the reserves in Zhao Hui's hands had been exhausted. After about two hours of fierce fighting, the first outer wall was basically lost. The defenders of Black Cloud City could only rely on the second wall to resist stubbornly. At midnight, the corpses of men and horses were piled up between the two walls, almost close to the height of the walls.

The Black Cloud City army rushed to the head of the city from all angles many times, and engaged in fierce white-knuckle battles with the defenders of the Blue Dragon Kingdom. At this time, most of the defenders in the city had suffered casualties, and finally they were too small to hold the second wall, and had to retreat into the city. Zhao Hui had no choice but to concentrate all the troops that could be collected in the county government compound and waited for reinforcements. The brutal battle lasted until dawn, and the county government compound was lost in many places, and Zhao Hui led the only remaining more than 3,000 people to shrink in the area of the Nine Dragon Tower in the center of the courtyard.

Facing the surging tide of enemy troops outside, Zhao Hui was already desperate. He said to his subordinates, "If you really can't hold it, please cut off my head." Maybe it will be your life. ”

At this time, all the people who surrounded him were his subordinates who had followed him for many years. Hearing his words, they all impassionedly said that they must follow the old chief to fight to the end, and in the end, everyone will kill together.

Luo Ming, the main force commanded by Lin Yi, rushed to the outskirts of Fuyang County at this time. The vanguard was led by Liu Rang, who did not hesitate or set up any position, and immediately commanded the soldiers to attack.

As soon as Wang Jinqian, the chief general of the Northern Alliance, heard the report from his own soldiers that the endless army of Black Cloud City was arriving one after another. He was frightened, and said that Luo Ming of Black Cloud City was a master who was good at turning the tables and often played against defeat to win. Sure enough, seeing that Fuyang County was about to be taken, his troops came. Then this is enough to prove that the Northern Route Army has been cleaned up by him, so what is the use of taking Fuyang County now? Thinking of this, he shrank in a big tent, refused to come out to command the battle, and very simply immediately changed into the clothes of a small soldier, and ordered his own soldiers to be ready to protect him at any time and quietly abscond.

To be honest, what he fears most is the legendary Black Cloud City Flying Tigers. So he ordered his soldiers to pay close attention to the movements of the battlefield. As soon as you notice any signs of the Flying Tigers participating in the battle, come back immediately and report to him.

Zhao Dongguo was commanding the final encirclement and suppression battle in the county seat, and when he heard that the army of Qinghei Cloud City had arrived, he immediately led people out of the city to meet the battle.

Except for some of his troops to continue to besiege the remnants of Black Cloud City that were cowering in the area of the Nine Dragon Towers, most of the other main forces were taken out of the city by him. When he left the city, he was just in time for the vanguard under the command of Liu Rang to rush over. Zhao Dongguo did not panic in the face of chaos, commanded Ruoding, and calmly repelled the first wave of attacks by the menacing Liu Rang.

At this time, the main forces of Black Cloud City had already arrived one after another. After Lin Yi had a general understanding of the situation, he ordered to organize a second wave of attacks immediately. Tens of thousands of warriors shouted in unison, with cavalry as the lead and infantry following as they rolled to attack. Lin Yi pulled out the 50,000 Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army that she had been reluctant to take out. In this way, there is only a little cavalry of the Tempest Warrior Army left in her family in the Eastern Saint Kingdom, which is the last force to ensure that no one in the Eastern Saint Kingdom has a bad idea, and it is Lin Yi's last bit of family background. If all the military power of the Eastern Saint Kingdom is drained, it is possible that the country will immediately change color, from a stable rear to a hostile country.

The main force of the reinforcements from Black Cloud City launched an attack from the front from the north, and the newly pulled Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army launched a flank attack from the east. With the sound of huge horses' hooves, wolf's hooves, the whistling of sabers and the shouts of warriors. More than 100,000 cavalry of all kinds rolled up the dust in the sky and rushed into the Northern Alliance camp that was defended by Sensen.

Zhao Dongguo was hoarse and tried his best to organize resistance. The red-eyed soldiers of the Northern Alliance brazenly launched a counter-charge, they shouted, like a tide to face the two roads of people and horses in Black Cloud City, that brave momentum made Lin Xiaoshuang, who was commanding the battle on the distant high ground, heartbroken-her Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army spent a lot of money to assemble, and at present, due to the short training days, it is far from reaching the state she needs. Participating in such a bloody fierce battle now, of course, the losses will be great.

When Wang Jinqian, the commander of the Northern Alliance army, saw this posture and fled in a hurry. However, the entire army, under the command of Zhao Dongguo, not only did not take half a step back, but fought in an orderly manner. They used their cavalry to engage the frontal army of Black Cloud City, and a large number of infantry formed a pocket formation, using strong bows and crossbows to deal with the onslaught of the Blue Fire Wolf cavalry army from the flank. The two sides fought inextricably for a while, and the casualties were heavy. Luo Ming was concerned about the battle situation in the city, and was impatient to fight a protracted battle with Zhao Dongguo outside the city, so he ordered Liu Rang to personally lead a team of 5,000 iron cavalry, and after going around to the west, he suddenly attacked. Liu Rang took the lead and rushed straight to the position where Zhao Dongguo was standing and commanding at the fastest speed.
