After conquering Denghua, Xuanbao's heart did not have much joy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info--Maybe this comes from the brutality of the siege!
Perhaps compared with Tuwan, although the defenders of Denghua died more, at least they left a whole corpse, but the Tuwan soldiers were bound to die with one blow, and it was not too painful.
The screams of the Denghua soldiers in the fire kept lingering in Xuan Bao's ears! That kind of heart-rending cry made Xuan Bao almost plug his ears, like a sharp blade, deeply 'inserted' into his mind!
Moreover, the attack on Denghua also caused some people to die in the fire in the city, and the whole city was like a big wine barrel, and the beggars helped the disciples to introduce the water from the moat into the inner city, and then the residents living on both sides of the river were 'affected', and dozens of casualties were killed!
This is also what Xuan Bao is ashamed of, he has always disliked to let the people suffer from the war, but he also understands that it is inevitable that people will die in war, and the people will not stay out of the matter, and his soft-heartedness will not bring impetus to Xuanjun in wartime, and he is likely to bear more casualties because of this!
And Xuan Bao already felt that he was not distracted by today's battle, but had something else on his mind! What was it that made him uneasy?
Could it be that something happened in the East China Sea? Shouldn't it be, with the talents of You Yong and Tong Yao, leading the 'kissing' corps and the archers, guarding the exit of the Xingshi Sea, even if the Japanese bird people are advanced ships, they have nowhere to go, and they have nothing to fear!
What's more, before coming to Nanping, Shi Wuce had already received a flying pigeon from the East China Sea, and the first battle of the 'Kiss' Corps had been a great victory, and the fleet of Wadao that had just come out of the Star Stone Sea was beaten back, killing more than 10,000 enemies and destroying hundreds of ships.
So there can't be anything wrong in the East China Sea, where is the accident? The only thing that can make him so uneasy is something that can arouse his divine sense, such as the secret assassination of the Netherworld, or... Xiao Yin had an accident!
Thinking of this, Xuan Bao suddenly felt that he had never been in contact with Xiao Yin today, as if suddenly there was no induction, and the "Thousand Miles of Marriage and One Thought" seemed to be completely ineffective, no matter how big the divine sense was, he would not be able to receive Xiao Yin's information!
Could it really be that something happened to Xiao Yin? Xuanbao's hands and feet were a little cold, but he was anxious because he didn't know where Xiao Yin was now, so he had to let out a long sigh and said to Danniang and Tie Yi: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine, go back to sleep, and march tomorrow!"
"Brother Xiaobao... Brother Xiaobao... Ice Cliff City..."A call sounded in Xuan Bao's mind, and Xiao Bao, who was already asleep, seemed to see Xiao Yin standing in front of him covered in blood, and he was so frightened that he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the couch at once!
His body was still sweating profusely, and Xiaobao could almost hear the sound of his heart beating fast!
There are no dreams around, Xiaobao rarely dreams when he sleeps, and he seems to have seen Xiao Yin's injured appearance just now, is it a dream, or is it the real situation sensed by his sense?
Danniang next to her opened her eyes in a daze, got up and hugged his arm, felt the sweat on his body under the tentacles, was startled, and asked him in surprise: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaobao shook her head and comforted her, "I had a nightmare!
The Xuanjun army is now taking an official road, and it is also the road taken by the Nanping, Tuwan, and Denghua coalition forces when they supported Panda! Therefore, it is not as rugged as the Xuanjun army entering Nanping, and the speed of the march is also very fast, and on the ninth day of the ten-day period, at noon, it has already arrived at a place twenty miles outside Liuzi City and set up camp!
After the soldiers were settled, Xiaobao rode the red rainbow liuyun to the Panda camp and met with Xianyang and Shi Wuce. The three towns of Liuzi, Huayang, and Tongcheng must be conquered as soon as possible, otherwise the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and this battle will become more and more difficult to fight!
When Emperor Zun returned, Xian Yang and Shi Wuce led a group of generals out of the big tent, and Xiao Bao saw that everyone's faces were 'colorful', as if something happy had happened, but he let his mood that had been a little anxious in the past few days also relaxed.
After entering the big tent of the Chinese army, a soldier had already sent mung bean soup to cool off, Xiaobao drank a bowl and said with a smile: "It seems that you are 'very' moisturized in Panda!"
Everyone laughed, Shi Wuce smiled and said: "It was sent by the people of the Broken Heaven City with great effort, the emperor has a good mouth, he just arrived in the morning, boiled it for the whole army to drink at noon, and sent someone to send it to Long Jiao and General Ao Yi in the afternoon, so that those brothers can also satisfy their hunger!"
The production of mung beans in Heavenbreaking City is not low, but it can supply 400,000 Xuan Army, and it is estimated that all the storage has been taken out!
Yuantai's move was to show goodwill to Xuanjun, seeing that the cities of the Yin Dynasty were obtained by Xuanjun one by one, Yuantai was not a fool, knowing that Xuanjun was keeping his promise and not moving him at all.
However, he is not a person without measure, he really thinks that he can support the army in the hinterland of the Xuan Army, and he did not surrender before because he did not know how strong the Xuan Army was, once the Xuan Army was defeated, his attitude of staying out of the matter was neither merit nor fault in the eyes of Yin Hu!
But now the Xuan Army is simply unstoppable, he Yuantai knows very well that he has a few catties and a few taels, if he does not surrender to the Xuan Army now, I am afraid that when the Yin Dynasty becomes the Xuan Dynasty, he, the sky-breaking general, will become the target of the public, Xuan Bao will not do anything to him, and the city lords of other cities will also use him as a stepping stone to become an official in order to show favor to the emperor!
Xuanbao knew this kind of thinking very well, so he also accepted Yuantai's overtures, and said to Shi Wuce: "Let the person who sent the grain go back and tell the old general that Xuanbao remembered the oath he had made." After pacifying the Central Plains, only one Xuanjun general will be placed in the Broken Sky City, and the rest will be decided by the old generals themselves!"
Xian Yang and Shi Wuce glanced at each other, originally wanted to dissuade the emperor, but in the end they thought about it! They also understood the meaning of Xiaobao's words, which was equivalent to making Yuan Tai comfortable to be the king of heaven!
Of course, Xuanbao will not really canonize him as the king, even if he is really the emperor, he will not give Yuantai the king, the throne is not exchanged for a few carts of mung beans!
Anyway, this kind of treatment is not hereditary, the old general can pass away, and it is not difficult to recover the Broken Sky City, the entire Yin Dynasty has been defeated, what can a small Broken Heaven City do?
Now that the Seven 'Colors' Xuanqi has occupied one-third of the Central Plains, a line from the south to the west, and with the addition of the hinterland of the Central Plains, the Xuanjun now has the strength to confront the Yin Army head-on!
Now attacking Liuzi, 400,000 Xuan troops are attacking 200,000 Yin troops, facing the defense of three cities, although they have an advantage in the number of troops, but the siege battle is not calculated according to the number of people, unless the attacker is more than ten times more than the defender!
Xianyang smiled and stood in front of the sand table, and said to Xuanbao: "Our plan is to let General Long and General Ao 'insert' from between Liuzi and Huayang, we are attacking in the front, and when Liuzi City is broken, the troops of the two generals Long and Ao will become the main force of attack, turn their heads to attack Huayang, and then we will make a detour from the side!"
Shi Wuce next to him nodded, and said to Xuanbao: "The legend of the emperor's three cities in ten days has spread all over the Xuan army, and now the morale of the Xuanjun army is booming, and the soldiers want to behave well in front of the emperor!"
The group of soldiers next to him all nodded. Mo Zhan sighed and said: "Fortunately, we changed our flag according to the prince's wishes, otherwise we would have ended up like these guys!
The Tiger's Courage Army was merged into the Xuanjun Army, and it was reorganized into the Qilin and Xuanwu Corps, Mo Zhan and Bu Ying were still captains and generals, and they followed the army to attack Panda, so they couldn't be called the military post of King Shujing, and it was not appropriate to call it anything else, so they could only be called together with the emperor.
Mo Zhan's words are a bit sycophant, but it is not too much, if the Xuan Army really fights with the Tiger Courage, there will definitely be losses, but the final battle situation must be the Die Hard Army, because they are already isolated, this is the most terrible!
Xiao Bao also nodded at the two-sided attack strategy that Xianyang said, and said to Xianyang: "This kind of attack can only defeat Liuzi, and it will not work against Huayang and Tongcheng! If these four towns all fall into the hands of the Xuanjun army, then Yinhu will only be left in the area south of the Yangtze River with Longnan Town in the northeast of Tongcheng! I think it is impossible for him to give up Longnan, so he will definitely send troops to support Tongcheng!"
"No!" Shi Wuce said categorically to Xiaobao: "Yinhu has bigger trouble waiting for him, and he is no longer able to send troops to Jiangnan, and now most of his troops have been sent to Lanya Pass!"
Looking at Xiaobao's 'confused' and puzzled look, Shi Wuce's face was a little happy, and with a hint of solemnity, he said to Xiaobao: "We all underestimated Helan, a vassal country of the Yin Dynasty, over the years, they have worked hard to 'fine' and developed rapidly, and suddenly raised troops a month ago, and 700,000 Helan iron cavalry grabbed nearly 800 miles of 'fertile' land in the prairie in a row, and then waved his army south, entered the Central Plains, captured thirteen cities one after another, and crossed the Lanya Pass!"
Xiao Bao's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he couldn't speak for a long time! He finally understood why Hu Xiao was so honest, it turned out that he was also in big trouble in the north!
He also understood why the Yin army had a clear advantage in time and place and numbers, but suddenly made a faint move, 'pumping' 300,000 people, leaving only 200,000 people to fight against the Xuan army, because something happened in the north!
Compared with the Xuan army, the rebellion of the Helan Kingdom made Yinhu even more afraid! Because this was the knife behind his back! If the Xuan soldiers wanted to reach Kyoto, they would at least have to fight city by city in the south of the Yangtze River, and there would be a long span of time.
However, as long as the Helan Kingdom breaks through the Lanya Pass, then it can march straight into Kyoto and drive Yinhu down from the throne!
In this way, Yinhu's brutality has reached the point of anger and resentment, and everyone betrays his relatives, and even the people of Heran are against him!
At this time, it was the time for the Xuan army to take advantage of the situation and attack in a big way! Helan is different from Hu Xiao, different from the Japanese birds, they are stabbing knives in the rear of Yinhu, even if Xuanbao wants to help, he can't help, and he won't be merciful and become a fool, waiting for the Yin army to finish fighting with Helan before making a move!
With Yinhu here, the war will not end, and the only way to let the common people live a stable life is to oust this brutal guy from power! Of course, Xuanbao doesn't want the Helan people to occupy the Central Plains, but he must first enter Kyoto before he can directly confront the Helan people!
"Where is the Helan soldiers now?" Xiaobao asked as he looked at Sha. The fairy sheep pointed to the top of the sand table and said in a deep voice: "The first city in the pass, and the last fortress to block the Helan Iron Cavalry, Ice Cliff City!"
