Yuan Huaihe looked at the east and north city walls that were still in a state of fierce battle, and he was a little distracted for a while.

The fires, the smoke, the shouts, the loud banging of the carts against the gates, the shaking of the falling walls, it all seemed like a scene of disillusionment.

Yuan Huaihe could clearly see that the Xuzhou army's offensive was becoming more and more ferocious, especially when he saw the two small heavenly powerhouses taking the lead in launching a strong attack, and they were not afraid of the threat of magic and crossbows, he knew that the Xuzhou army was going to fight down.

When the Xiaotian-rank powerhouse is not afraid of his own life and death and comes to the front line in person, there are only two possibilities, one is that the situation is so bad that he can only rely on the Xiaotian-rank powerhouse's own force to fight to the death, and the other is that the war has reached a critical time when it needs to be killed with one blow, and for the Xuzhou Army, the current situation obviously belongs to the latter.

The breakthrough brought by the two small heavenly powerhouses was like rolling soup and fertile snow, and everywhere they went, it was almost about to collapse, and the Caizhou army, whose morale was already at a disadvantage, was on the verge of collapse even if it relied on the city defense facilities.

Except for the magic crossbow and magic weapons, other means are not effective against the small heaven powerhouse at all, and the magic weapon must also be a grandmaster-level magic weapon to pose a threat to it, and how long can this situation last?

couldn't hold it, this point was actually realized by Yuan Wuwei when he died in battle.

At this time, he realized how naïve and naïve Caizhou's idea of wanting to hold Songcheng was, and Jiang Feng even transferred the entire Heshuo army that was originally going to capture Heshuo to fight Songcheng, which was enough to show that he was determined to win this battle, but he pinned his hopes on the assault of the ethereal Shatuo people.

The Shatuo people have not yet entered Fangcheng Pass, and they are still fighting fiercely with the Nanyang army at the northern foot of Funiu Mountain, which makes Yuan Huaihe simply incomprehensible.

Where did the gang of Shatuo Iron Cavalry, who were like bamboos and like a rainbow when they were fighting the Great Liang, go? When did the Nanyang Army become so strong and difficult, even more tenacious than the Great Liang Army?

No longer willing to admit it, Yuan Huaihe also knew that the general trend had gone, and now he needed to consider how to preserve his strength to the maximum.

If it is said that Xuzhou is willing to accept Yuan's subordination now, Yuan Huaihe is even willing to surrender to Jiang Feng, but he also knows very well that Jiang Feng at this time may not give the Yuan family any respite, and can only surrender, and it is impossible to get the same treatment as Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mao.

"The head of the house?!" said the guard next to him anxiously.

Yuan Huaihe waved his hand a little tiredly, stopped the other party's words, the situation is irreversible, how to deal with it now?

There are still thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, but there are still a large number of soldiers who are entangled in the walls on both sides, and if you don't make a decision, then there is really only one end of the whole army.

The west city gate is still controlled by the Caizhou army, and the news fed back by the scouts also said that the line from Songcheng to Ningling and Zhecheng did not find the enemy's ambush, and the Caizhou cavalry outside the city has also been on standby, but all this seems to be so peaceful The situation often contains greater killing opportunities.

Obviously impossible, the reason for creating such a situation was to force the Caizhou army to withdraw from Songcheng and flee westward, and at this time they could have a good time to urge the cavalry army to cover all the way, and it was impossible for the Caizhou army at that time to organize resistance.

But what about staying in the city?

The strength advantage of the Xuzhou army is too great, once it enters the city, even if it is a street battle, the final result is the annihilation of the whole army, and there will be no second result.

Yuan Huaihe had no idea for a while.

This is really a too difficult choice, I originally thought that I could hold on for seven to ten days, at least five days, but I didn't expect to break the city in one day, this is really an unexpected situation.

At this time, it is meaningless to blame Yuan Wuwei again, Yuan Huaihe can also understand Yuan Wuwei's thoughts, if he does not crack the stone artillery car formation that the other party has an absolute advantage, then Song Cheng and Caizhou's army will be crushed and stoned to death by the other party in this way, Yuan Wuwei never believed that the Shatuo people would be able to have a deep and earth-shattering move in these few days, so he chose to fight to the death like this, of course he failed, but he didn't expect the Heshuo army to take advantage of the situation to break the city.

A horse galloped forward, and the sergeant rolled his saddle and dismounted, and handed over a letter.

After Yuan Huaihe took it, he glanced at ten lines, hurriedly swept by, and couldn't help but sigh gloomily.

The Shatuo people really did not break through the Fangcheng Pass according to the advice of the Caizhou army, but directly attacked Xiangcheng from Mizhou overnight, and at the same time I don't know what method the Shatuo people used to get through the Xiao family, the Xiangyang army divided into two armies to the north and east to the east, one army conquered the original Dengzhou Zhiyu County, and the other army attacked the Tang City of Suizhou, and confronted Liu Xuan's army on the Tang City line.

Captured Xiangcheng, almost completely cut off the return of the Nanyang army that still stayed in Funiu Mountain-Fangcheng Mountain, even if Liu Tong has the power to return to the sky, it is difficult to reverse, the problem is that this is not much significance for Caizhou, now that Song City has been broken, Ningling and Zhecheng are unable to defend, and even Bozhou and Yingzhou are afraid that it is difficult to hold, maybe the only hope is to see if they can hold Chenzhou, which is the key.

Thinking of this, Yuan Huaihe already had a bit of determination on his face.

Three hours later, with the Heshuo army and the Ziqing army pouring into Songcheng, they converged in the Thorn History Mansion in Songcheng City, officially announcing that Songzhou had fallen into the hands of Xuzhou again, but Jiang Feng's mood was not very good.

"The cavalry didn't stop it?"

"Back to the king of the county, the Yuan army who came from Ningling desperately blocked ......"

"Lone didn't ask this question, Lone only asked the cavalry what the cavalry of the Heshuo Army and the Ziqing Army were doing?"

The hall was slaughtered, although Song City had just been taken, but everyone knew that not only did it cost a lot to defeat the city, but the key was that Yuan Huaihe actually led the two armies to break through the siege, leaving only a group of remnants of the defeated generals desperately dragging the Heshuo Army and the Ziqing Army that followed the killing.

"The king of the county, the Jin army Shi Jingjiao captured Xiangyi and marched towards Ningling, and it is said that Yuan Huaihe took the initiative to hand over the defense of these two cities to the Shatuo people. Zhu Mi knew that he had to stand up at this time, "His subordinates took matters into their own hands and ordered the cavalry to enter Ningling first and occupy Ningling City. ”

Jiang Feng's face was ugly, and the Shatuo people finally made a move, although it was a little late, but it still brought a lot of pressure to his side.

I have to admit that the iron cavalry of the Shatuo people for so many years still has a great deterrent effect on these generals who have dealt with them.

Shi Jingjiao is known as one of the two heroes under Li Cunhou who is on a par with Liu Zhiyuan, his strength should not be underestimated, and Zhu Mi's arrangement is not a big mistake, but it is a little regrettable to let Yuan Huaihe go.

But then again, Yuan Huaihe was intent on leaving, and no one could stop him, but his 5,000 dragon sparrow tail escaped at least more than 2,000 people, which is still a little unpleasant, surrounded and intercepted by several times the force, they actually broke free from the net, the elite of the Caizhou Army and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed Heshuo Army are still superior, this is still an objective fact, and it is not okay not to accept it.

"King Jun, the Shatuo people didn't regard the Yuan clan as an ally at all, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen this time to make a move, of course, it is also possible that they miscalculated our attack power, but I didn't expect that we only took one day to break through Song City. ”

Cui Shang has also rushed to the battlefield, and with Song Cheng falling into the hands of Xuzhou, the entire Central Plains situation will usher in a drastic change, and he must be by Jiang Feng's side.

This battle is not only the loss of Songcheng, Songcheng fell into the hands of Xuzhou, then Songzhou, and even Yingbo Erzhou, Yuan's family has been unable to defend the palace, Yang Kan can be overwhelming westward on the Bozhou side, if the Caizhou army dares to continue to entrench in Yingbo Erzhou, then Cai Chen Erzhou can not be defended, if Yuan is smart at this time, it can also rely on Cai Chen Erzhou to resist for a while.

"Bai Ling, I'm afraid it's not as simple as treating Caizhou as an ally, with the temperament of those Shatuo people, in their minds, there are only two kinds of usable and unusable, what can be used, they will cooperate temporarily, and if they can't be used, then one word, kill!" Jiang Feng's expression was slightly slower, but he was even more dignified.

He always thought that the Shatuo people might take the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight to deal with the war in Xuzhou and Caizhou, but now it seems that he still underestimated the wariness of the Shatuo people against himself, and chose to suddenly march into Xiangyi at this time, which is undoubtedly another temptation, but this time he is still like the last time.

"Now that they have suddenly sent troops to Songzhou, perhaps it is that the war in the west has made significant progress. Jiang Feng frowned, "There is no news from Wuwen Hall yet?"

"Not yet, the news that came last time only said that the Xiao family was attacking Suizhou and Sui County, but the battle was not clear, and Liu Tong on the line of Funiu Mountain and Fangcheng Mountain still held his ground. Cui Shang was also a little puzzled.

Before he could finish speaking, he rode in and presented the letter.

Jiang Feng browsed slightly, his face changed slightly, and he handed it to Cui Shang casually: "Liu Zhiyuan made a detour to Mizhou, raided Xiangcheng successfully, killed Liu Lan, Li Cunhou led the five sons of the Guo family to break the Nanyang army in Lushan, Liu Tong himself escaped, hum, and the Shatuo people collected more than 30,000 soldiers in one fell swoop. ”

Cui Shang's face also changed, "Liu Tong is finished, the king of the county, what should I do over there Liu Xuan?"

"Order Yang Kan to speed up the progress and take Yingbo Erzhou!" Jiang Feng's face turned grim, "Send Hou Chen to Xiangyang immediately, agree with the Xiao family to control Sui County and Sui Prefecture, and send someone to explain to Liu Xuan by the way, forget it, I wrote to Liu Xuan, she should understand the priorities!"

Cui Shang quickly wrote down the order, "What about Xiangyi Shi Jingjiao?"

This is also a difficult problem.

The location of Xiangyi is not important, but this is a signal, how to achieve a profitable, reasonable and restrained response, but it is a very technical work.

"Bai Ling, what is your opinion?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.
