The fog black cavalry came by a detour for thousands of miles, in order to seek speed, even their own supplies were not much, and they did not carry the siege weight, and the cavalry alone attacked the city wall, it was really as weak as ants shaking the tree, and it was impossible to smash the heavy city gate, pry the strong city wall, and it was difficult to cross the wall to seize the city with martial arts, but was shot and injured by the Suo Yun soldiers on the wall, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, they fought in the middle of the night, and before dawn, the fog black cavalry withdrew ten miles and repaired.

Killed until dawn, looking down from the city, the foggy black cavalry numbered about five thousand.

The victory in defending the city greatly boosted the morale of the Tieyu army of Suoyun Kingdom, and they felt that the legendary fierce and brave Fog Black Barbarian was no more than Erer, which brought great confidence to the soldiers. In the next two days, the foggy black cavalry tried to attack under Huacheng City every day, and as soon as Chenghuacheng counterattacked, the foggy black cavalry retreated, not fighting head-on with the Iron Feather Army, which occupied the advantage of the terrain. However, the foggy black cavalry did not retreat far, only patrolling under Chenghua City, where the Iron Feather Army's strong bow could not shoot.

From the next day, the foggy black cavalry was undernourished, and they even retreated into the southern suburbs of Chenghua City to burn and plunder the village markets and harvest grain. As a result, a large number of refugees from the suburbs pour into Chenghua City every day. Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Iron Feather Army were filled with righteous indignation, and repeatedly asked to go out of the city to kill the enemy, vowing to destroy the foggy black cavalry who dared to go deep alone and show off their might at the foot of their own capital!

In order to be safe, He Yue, no matter how the soldiers tried to fight, insisted on it, only called it strictly guarded, and was not allowed to attack.

On the third day, the Tingguo reinforcements on Chenghua Mountain were dormant for two days, and after repairing the trap, they pretended to be reinforcements from Chenghua City, rushed to the rear of the foggy black cavalry team, and killed them fiercely, but they were defeated and retreated to Chenghua Mountain. The Fog Black Cavalry was indeed fierce, and in such a short fight, it killed and injured many soldiers of the Ting Kingdom who were known for their strength in the Fengmeng Continent. The foggy black cavalry was deflated for two days under Chenghua City, and they couldn't make it hard, and they were depressed, and it was easy for an army to have a good fight, so they rushed up to Chenghua Mountain with the reinforcements of Ting State.

As soon as He Yue ordered the Tie Yu Army to attack and catch up with Chenghua Mountain, he received an urgent report from the flying cavalry on the front line: The defense line of Nanzao County has been lost! He Yue forcibly withdrew the pursuit order, issued a death order, and ordered Ling Jiang to lead the Tie Yu Army to retreat to Chenghua City and strictly defend it. In addition, the dead soldiers rushed to Chenghua Mountain to inform the Tingguo reinforcements of the latest battle situation, and asked the Tingguo reinforcements to hold on to Chenghua Mountain first, waiting for the opportunity.

Sure enough, as expected, it was not only the cavalry that attempted to sneak attack Chenghua City by bypassing the defense line of Nanzao County and sneaking into the rear of Suoyun Kingdom! The other cavalry had a short distance, and used the method of breaking the whole into pieces to bypass the defense line, and assembled somewhere behind the defense line, and raided Yishan Town at the eastern end of Nanzao County. Suddenly killed by the foggy black cavalry from his rear, directly killed a surprise, the coalition forces stationed in Yishan Town's Zhe and Hongguo, Yongchang State army was suddenly defeated, a large number of foggy black troops from Yishan Town went deep into the defense line, and then from behind the defense line and the front army attacked, Fengmeng's side was suddenly defeated. The temporary joint defense of Suoyun State was already unstable, and this defeat was like a mountain, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and the battle line quickly retreated. From Nanzao County to Chenghua City, in the middle, the defeated army did not dare to fight with the Wuhei Army, let alone counterattack.

The rout was almost immediately followed by the swift horsemanship, and nearly 50,000 rout troops swarmed in. Chenghua City is surrounded by fertile fields in Pingchuan, there is no basis to defend, He Yue called Kaicheng to let go, but it is necessary to strictly check to prevent mixing into the fog and black spies. It was strictly ordered that the troops entering the city should be led by their respective generals, and that they should be stationed in the designated areas for repair, and that they should not go out at will or disturb the people.

The army of the Foggy Black Barbarians also followed the rout, and the 100,000 people in the vanguard of the Foggy Black Army surrounded Chenghua City, the capital of Suoyun Kingdom, under the command of Sural.

Chenghua City has become a lonely city surrounded by foggy black barbarians on the Zaoqiu Plain, and the closest to Chenghua City is the Tingguo reinforcements on Chenghua Mountain. Obviously, the Wuhei Dynasty attached great importance to the cavalry that penetrated deep into the hinterland of Suoyun, and while besieging Chenghua City, it divided 30,000 troops, and also surrounded Chenghua Mountain. At this time, He Yue couldn't help but secretly admire Feng Ran, but Feng Ran did not let the reinforcements of the Ting State enter the city, but suggested that they move the camp into a mountain, thus attracting a part of the fog black troops, otherwise he would now have to face 100,000 fog black barbarians day and night, round after round of strong attacks.

The high walls of Chenghua City are thick, and they can still be defended, but Chenghua Mountain has a low slope and a gentle slope, and there is no danger to defend. The 20,000 Tingguo reinforcements surrounded the 5,000 Fog Black Cavalry in the middle, but the outside was surrounded by 30,000 Fog Black Cavalry. If the foggy black cavalry desperately came to the center to blossom and cooperate with the outer army, the situation of the Ting reinforcements would be extremely dangerous. Ting Guo was sandwiched between two enemy forces, and it was a taboo for soldiers to fall into a dead end.

Princess Phantom Sand summoned the deputy marshal Lu Feiqing and all the generals and generals under her account to discuss the military situation. Almost all the generals unanimously advocated that regardless of the foggy black cavalry in the middle of the encirclement, they would kill the mountain first, but there were differences in their whereabouts after killing the mountain, and some advocated retreating to the Ting State first before making plans. Some advocated retreating to Chenghua City, and Lu Feiqing advocated sticking to Chenghua Mountain and waiting for Chenghua City to be relieved.

"With our 20,000 against 30,000 foggy black, concentrating our forces will have a great chance of breaking through. Lu Feiqing asked: "But, after breaking out, where can we go? Retreat to Chenghua City? How can we go back? There are no less than 70,000 foggy black soldiers surrounded outside Chenghua City, and it is said that the Sural Emperor personally commanded the formation, so we can break through the encirclement of more than 70,000 troops? Besides, Chenghua City is obviously surrounded, what are we going to rush in? The number of people surrounded by the suspect's fog black barbarians is not enough?"

One general said: "Rush in and help defend the city." ”

"The battle report sent by the dead soldiers, everyone has read it, the Tieyu Army, which specializes in guarding Chenghua City, claims to be 100,000 to the outside world, but in fact there are only about 60,000, plus the Fengmeng army that fled into the city is not less than 120,000, but half of them are routed, and they have suffered new defeats, the army is unstable, morale is low, and it is difficult to fight for a while. As long as the generals can boost their morale as soon as possible and survive the hard fighting in the first few days, Chenghua City will definitely be able to hold on, and even counterattack. If we can't hold it, the army will be routed again, and it will be in vain for us to rush in. "Once the army is defeated again, panic will spread among the army, which will cause the soldiers to have no intention of fighting, and people will flee. Even if it is the elite army of the Ting Kingdom, once it is infected by panic, it will also collapse. Lu Feiqing has been learning the art of war with Feng Dye since he was a child, although it is on paper, but it has also been impregnated for a long time, which can be described as a thick accumulation, and he can see it better than anyone else at this time.

"If we can't return to Chenghua City, where can we retreat after we go down the mountain?" and return to Ting Kingdom?" Lu Feiqing asked again, and several generals who advocated returning to Ting Kingdom lowered their heads and were silent. Lu Feiqing said: "Brother, we are reinforcements sent by the Ting Kingdom, and we will retreat as soon as we fight with the Foggy Black Barbarians, and we are not afraid of the jokes of other countries, but also affect our morale! I also want to bring my brothers back safely, but now, ...... We are with the foggy black barbarians, either you die or I die! There is no way back!"

The Ting Kingdom can be regarded as another powerful country in the Fengmeng Continent in addition to the Suoyun Kingdom and the Jia Kingdom. Jiaguo is strong and strong, and its comprehensive strength can be regarded as the first power in the Fengmeng Continent. Suoyun Country is a strong country and weak soldiers, and its comprehensive strength is not as good as Jiaguo, but Suoyun Kingdom's national strength is the strongest in Fengmeng Continent. And the Ting State is the opposite of the Suoyun Kingdom, the country is weak and the army is strong. The five-year Jianghu master competition was held in Tingguo Dingshan, Tingguo therefore recruited many Jianghu masters to serve in the Tingguo army, Tingguo army can be said to be the assembly of the rivers and lakes of the Fengmeng Continent, and the combat ability of the Tingguo army can be described as fierce, even more than Jiaguo.

Lu Feiqing continued: "Why did the monarch send troops to aid Suoyun Kingdom? That is to put the battlefield against the foggy black barbarians in the territory of Suoyun Kingdom! In order to save the Ting Kingdom from the flames of war, the Jia Kingdom has already perished, if the Suoyun Kingdom is destroyed again, we will all be finished! Relying on our Ting Kingdom alone, we will not be able to defend the Fengmeng Continent! Therefore, now is not the time to preserve our strength, but the time to fight hard!" Lu Feiqing has never said so many words in one breath in front of so many people, and he has said so passionately, inspiringly, and smoothly.

"According to General Lu's will, we should stay on the mountain. General Lu then said, what is the point of guarding the mountain? First, and second, how should we guard it?" Princess Phantom Sand sat on the top of the handsome tent, her posture was upright, her face was steady, although the situation was critical, she was not in a hurry, and she could not see any emotion. She dared to ask Ying to be handsome, and it was really not an embroidered pillow, which was quite handsome.

Lu Feiqing shook his head: "I advocate staying on the mountain, first, kill down the mountain, we have nowhere to go; second, the first ten days of the siege are the most difficult and dangerous times, we stay on the mountain, and we can also share a little pressure on Chenghua City; third, after all, we are on the periphery of Huacheng City, although we are all surrounded, but at the critical juncture, we can still have a response." Asked: "Everyone, if we face destruction, will Chenghua City send troops to help?"

Princess Phantom Sand said: "The current strength in Chenghua City is quite a lot, but it is a rout. If we want to defend it, we have to rely on ourselves, and we can't count on those defeated armies. "The rout cannot be used to fight until it is repaired, and the rout will pass on its panic to others, which will affect morale. Phantom Sand wouldn't expect Chenghua City to send out the Iron Feather Army to rescue him.

Lu Feiqing said: "Let's go to Chenghua Mountain first, which takes advantage of the terrain." Originally, with 30,000 troops of our army, we surrounded and annihilated the 5,000 cavalry of Wuhei, without the assistance of Chenghua City, it was enough to win. With the assistance of Chenghua City, our casualties will be fewer. Now let's fight on both sides, when the soldiers are divided into two ways, the outer road is the main defense, the inner road is the main attack, first solve the foggy black cavalry surrounded in the middle, and then fully switch to defense. ”

Seeing that the generals had no objection to Lu Feiqing's proposal, Phantom Sha said: "Since everyone thinks General Lu's proposal is feasible, let's act according to General Lu's plan, everyone will go down and prepare first, the palace and General Lu still have something to discuss, and the others will retreat and wait for the military order." ”
