Knowing that General Xue Ping was killed, the Phantom Ren army merged into one place, crossed the entire prairie, and was approaching the fire city step by step, Shen Haobin stood on top of the city tower, looking up at the sky, his eyes flashing with tears.

"General Xue Ping is worthy of being a person of Liu Jiajun, he is a good example, and he is a model for my generation. ”

General Dong Yu walked in front of Shen Haobin and let out a long sigh.

"The major general's day mourns, war is killing, and there will be sacrifices. ”

Shen Haobin nodded, now that the war is over, time is life.

Dong Xi and Zhang Tao listened to the order. ”

"In. The two replied in unison.

"The two of you will take 10,000 soldiers and horses, wrap the grass around and go to the location of the thirty miles of the fire city to lurk. ”

"Yes. ”

"Remember, even if the city of Fire falls, you must not engage the enemy. ”

The two were stunned, thinking that Shen Haobin was asking the two to go to an ambush.

"Why?" asked General Dong.

"I will lead 3,000 men to die with the enemy again, and after Phantom Ren captures the Fire City, he will attack Xun City non-stop, and I want to win the last time for Xun City and its surrounding cities to retreat. ”

"Then what are we going to do with our 10,000 soldiers?" Zhang Tao was puzzled.

"When Huanren captures Xuncheng and the army continues to advance, you are approaching Liaocheng from their rear, and there must be no movement along the way, although Liaocheng cannot be broken by Huanren, but there is no one around the king to protect it, this is your task. ”

The two of them understood the intention of the young general, and even understood that staying in Huocheng was undoubtedly a death, so the two of them knelt down together.

"Major General, it's not that the two of us don't obey military orders, but we want to change guards with you. Zhang Tao said.

"Two generals, please get up. But staying here is undoubtedly death, I can't do this, you hurry up and obey the order, the king is still waiting for you to lead the army. Shen Haobin hurriedly helped the two up.

"No, we have lived for most of our lives, if this old bone can still sacrifice his life for the country, it is worth dying, if the major general is unwilling, we will not get up, and we will not obey your military orders. General Dong burst into tears.

"Yes, the young general might as well behead us directly, now that the wind and rain are shaking, the burden of the country is on you juniors, and it is time for us to leave. Zhang Tao also added with tears.

At this scene, Shen Haobin hesitated for a moment, the big battle was imminent, and he couldn't afford to delay, these two generals did not obey military orders, and he knew the reason.

"Take care of the two generals, we are determined to lose this battle, but the defeat must be meaningful, and it is our task to contain the enemy to the greatest extent. After speaking, Shen Haobin also knelt down on his knees.

"Major General, please get up, you will be like your father, become a hero of the world. ”

Shen Haobin's tears flowed into his heart, he didn't say much, and left the fire city with 10,000 soldiers who had already been surrounded by green grass.

Full of vicissitudes of life and rivers of blood, the two veterans of the Holy Warring States, with three thousand people, swore to defend the Fire City to the death, and won time for the retreat of the Xuncheng army to the greatest extent.

When the city of fire was breached, the two old generals also fell in a pool of blood, and three thousand soldiers, in the face of a powerful enemy, none of them escaped, which also meant that none of them survived.

The breeze blew across the prairie, and in the distance, Shen Haobin took tens of thousands of soldiers to mix with the grassland, watching his comrades being slaughtered by the enemy, but he did not go to the rescue, because the military order was like a mountain, and they had a more important task, that is, to return to Liaocheng.

In the green grassland, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Liu family army shed countless tears, moistening this grassland, Shen Haobin bowed deeply three times in the direction of Huocheng, and then took the cyan troops and moved slowly towards Liaocheng.

After Huanren captured the fire city, he quickly drove the army to Xuncheng, although there were no soldiers of the defenders on the city wall, but he was furious and still ordered the siege of the city.

Liu Zhengyu and Cao Guowei, who had just retreated to Heping Mountain, successfully reconciled with the 6 Zhiqiu troops, and saw Xuncheng from a distance, the city tower collapsed, and there was billowing wolf smoke everywhere, and the entire Xuncheng became a mess again.

originally thought that the Holy Warring States would fight to the death with his army in Xuncheng, which was what Phantom Ren wanted to see, but he didn't expect Xuncheng to become an empty city again, and the army was scattered, and what made him even more unbelievable was that around Xuncheng, and even in the entire Beicheng District, all the cities were empty cities, and the other party fled without a fight.

The point is that when he knew that all the soldiers and horses in Beicheng District had retreated to the Peace Mountain, he immediately ordered to pursue them, but it was the damn organ that blocked the way of the army.

Huan Ren sat on the main hall of Xuncheng and pondered, he had to rearrange his thoughts, and at this time, Qi Yao walked over with a smile.

"Phantom King is heroic, Beicheng District saw us attacking, frightened, all fled without a fight, now the entire Beicheng District is our territory, do you want to wait for it, capture Dongcheng District in one go, and then turn back to attack Nancheng District, the entire Holy Warring States will fall into our hands. ”

"Do you think we won? It seems to me that we only won two battles, one against Xicheng and the other against Thirteen Cities, and we lost both of them. Phantom Ren's eyes showed a leisurely look.

"Why?" Qi Yao shook his head, unsure of what he meant.

"We don't have any foundation, even our army is given by the Red Jade Cottage, the battle line is so long, we just captured empty cities, and the Holy Warring States not only has a strong people as a foundation, but at present, it seems that the power of the entire Beicheng District is still there, and in this war, we have lost 20,000 soldiers, how can we replenish it?"

"As long as we continue to capture Dongcheng District, and the Holy Warring States fall into my hands, won't we just expand our army among the people?" Qi Yao said.

Phantom Ren shook his head.

"I can guarantee that after we attack Dongcheng District, we will encounter resistance at most twice, and they will continue to cede the empty city to us. ”

"Then where else do they have to retreat?" Qi Yao was puzzled.

"They will move to the central part again, do not destroy Liaocheng, do not destroy Heping Mountain, do not destroy the Liu family's army, we can never say victory, the key is that our power is getting smaller and smaller, then in the end we will return to the original point, without an army to defend the city, no matter how many boundaries are useless, the key is that our biggest enemy is now not the Holy Warring States, but the Red Jade Cottage. ”

"Then what are we going to do now?" Qi Yao was relatively simple-minded.

"Withdraw troops. Phantom Ren said sharply.

"Ahh

"Withdraw the troops to the perimeter of Liaocheng, consolidate our strength, and then make plans. ”

"But the Red Jade Cottage will definitely let us continue to attack, and it is not easy to lay down such a large territory, and we have to hand it over to others. Qi Yao was unwilling.

A cold light appeared from the corner of Phantom Ren's eyes, and he said leisurely: "After this withdrawal, I will ask Feng Xi to take me to the headquarters of the Red Jade Cottage, and I will meet their owner in person." ”

In the capital of Nancheng District, Liu Yuanhui was discussing with Yang Xueyuan in the study.

"Elder Yang, the army of Phantom Ren is driving straight in, and now the defense is very weak, should we attack his rear. ”

"Your Majesty, no, I think this phantom is rigorous and fast, we still have to preserve our strength, step up military training, and recuperate. ”

"But my mother is still in Liaocheng, although Phantom Ren is powerful, but at this time his rear is empty, I want to come up with a surprise soldier to take my mother back to my country. Liu Yuanhui's face was a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, those who achieve great things should be informal, although the holy Warring States is lonely, but the army is still there, although Huanren is brave, but it is only the courage of a horseman, last time he pretended to attack my Wei Xiu Guo Miaoxiang City, you also see his strength, you must not provoke the other party at this time, or he will go south, and my Wei Xiu Guo is in danger. Liu Yuanhui called himself the queen and renamed Nancheng District Wei Xiuguo again, which also further gathered the heart of Yang Xueyuan, who was the commander of the Thirteenth Army of the Imperial Forest.

"But my mother is still in Liaocheng, I really can't bear it, he suffers there. Liu Yuanhui sighed.

"Phantom Ren can't break through Liaocheng, the emperor should rest assured, we still continue to maintain neutrality, let them fight each other, if we don't send troops, we will win the world in one fell swoop. ”

In the sky above Liaocheng, a golden pigeon flew in, and Liu Yuchen saw the content of the golden pigeon and was full of smiles.

"Liu Yuchen, why are you smiling so happily?" asked Yao Juan behind him.

"Come with me to the city tower, my brother Shen Haobin is outside the moat with 10,000 soldiers. ”

Liu Yuchen, Yao Juan and Liu Qi stood on top of the city tower, looking at the troops brought by Shen Haobin from a distance, Liu Yuchen said excitedly: "Quick, close all the organs, open the city gate, and welcome Shen Haobin." ”

"No, beware of deception. Yao Juan said uncomfortably, and stopped the soldiers behind her.

Liu Yuchen shook his head and patted Yao Juan on the shoulder.

"It's okay, Shen Haobin is our brother. Liu Yuchen's face was full of trust, and he continued to signal the soldiers to do what he wanted.

Shen Haobin successfully led the troops into the city, Liu Yuchen personally greeted him at the gate of the city, and his aunt Shen Liuyun knew that Shen Haobin was here, and she was also excited to come out of the palace to greet him.

When the two brothers met and hugged each other, Shen Haobin immediately said: "King, I came this time to take you away, go to Heping Mountain to meet with everyone, and then make plans." ”

Liu Yuchen was about to speak, but Shen Liuyun interrupted the two of them.

"No, you can't. ”

"Auntie, after all, this is an enemy-occupied area, and the king is here, and his life is in danger. Shen Haobin looked at Shen Liuyun.

"This Liaocheng is the source of the original king of Pingding, at that time, the defense of the five cities was weak, the food and grass were scarce, the army was thin, and at the same time faced the attack of the Great Xiu Kingdom and the demon world, but in the end, it was calmed down, with this as the center, to unify the entire country, and now the grain and grass are sufficient, and the defense line is also impenetrable, we must not give this place to others. Shen Liuyun seemed to be reminiscing about the past when he spoke.

There are many folk legends about the story of the five cities, and Liu Yuchen, Shen Haobin and Yao Juan, who are descendants, have also heard a lot, and lowered their heads when they heard this, and Liu Yuchen exhaled lightly.

"Aunt Yun is right, we are in the belly of the enemy and fight the enemy. ”

Shen Haobin also nodded lightly, although it was in the enemy's belly, Liaocheng was safe at least now.

"King, then we will use these 10,000 soldiers to recreate the glory of our ancestors. ”
