The Ningnan army that attacked the head of Qingcheng was indeed driven back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info【ㄨ】

Although the Ningnan Army has a large number of troops, after all, they are all new recruits, and they have no actual combat experience at all.

Previously, because of the leadership of many spiritual cultivators, the morale of the soldiers of the Ningnan Army was like a rainbow, but after Jiang Leopard and others rushed over to reinforce them, the arrogance of the spiritual cultivators of the Ningnan Army was quickly suppressed.

What's even worse is that it didn't take long for the Shadow Banner personnel of Shura Hall to also participate in the battle, and the arrival of the Shadow Banner was tantamount to giving a fatal blow to the cultivators of the Ningnan Army.

The Shadow Banner personnel did not directly confront the other party, but with the point fire of the long-range spirit musket, the cultivators of the Ningnan Army suffered heavy casualties, and they were killed one after another.

After these group of spiritual cultivators were killed and wounded, the Ningnan army had no strength to resist, and was forced down the city wall by the wind army.

On the city wall, the corpses of soldiers on both sides can be seen everywhere, the blood flows like a river, and the smell of blood is sick, all of which are disgusting, not so much a battlefield as a veritable Shura field.

The battle between the two sides began in the morning and lasted until night, and by this time, even the Feng army was exhausted and became the end of the strong crossbow, and the Ningnan army could not support it, and the offensive became weaker and weaker.

Finally, the eldest grandson Huai'an could only give the order to withdraw his troops when he was forced to do so.

With the retreat of the Ningnan army, the bloody battle of Qingcheng finally came to an end on this day.

It's just that after the fierce battle on this day, the casualties of the Ningnan army exceeded 50,000, and the casualties of the Feng army were also close to 20,000, and the soldiers on both sides paid a heavy price. The battlefield of Qingcheng has simply become a giant meat grinder.

Of the 30,000 defenders in Qingcheng, there are now about 10,000 left, and the 200,000 Ningnan Army has less than 80,000 troops, but compared with it, the situation of the Ningnan Army is even more precarious.

A large number of soldiers were exhausted, and when there was no food to eat, many extremely hungry soldiers could only secretly kill their horses to satisfy their hunger. In addition, the army's medicine industry has been depleted, and many seriously wounded soldiers have died in vain because they have not received timely medical treatment.

In such a situation, even the eldest grandson Huai'an, who was determined to fight to the death with the Feng Army, could not be tough.

Inside the tent of the Chinese army of the Ningnan Army. All the generals knelt on one knee and intervened to ask for orders: "Lord Wang! The fortification of Qingcheng's city defense and the tenacity of the fighting spirit of the wind army have far exceeded our original assumptions, and now the grain, grass, ammunition, medicine, armaments, etc. in the army have been exhausted.

"Lord Wang, withdraw the troops-" The generals almost cried, and begged in unison.

The eldest grandson, Huai'an, closed his eyes in pain. This battle is an opportunity that he has endured for many years and finally waited, which can not only allow him to control the military power in the country, but also allow him to establish his prestige in the country.

He has already paid such a huge price, and now that he is allowed to withdraw his troops, how can he be willing? However, if he does not withdraw his troops, and as the generals said, the officers and men in the army are really unable to fight any longer, and if they continue to attack, they will be in danger of being annihilated.

The eldest grandson Huai'an was silent, and there was a deathly silence in the big tent, only the sound of people gasping from time to time remained.

"Lord ......"

"No need to say any more!" The eldest grandson Huai'an suddenly opened his eyes and said word by word: "Early tomorrow morning, our army will retreat!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Chinese military tent, returned to his sleeping tent, and fell on the ground.

The generals in the Chinese military tent came back to their senses and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally...... Finally, the troops can be withdrawn, and this battle can finally be fought no more.

Not to mention that the soldiers below are physically and mentally exhausted, they are also physically and mentally exhausted, obviously their own troops are far more than the wind army, but on the battlefield, the pressure brought to them by the wind army is unimaginably great.

The eldest grandson Huai'an issued an order to withdraw the troops, and the soldiers of the Ningnan Army were relieved, thinking that there would be no need to fight again, but people were wrong, the withdrawal was only to announce the end of the siege of the Ningnan Army, but at the same time it was the beginning of the siege and annihilation of the Feng Army.

Early the next morning, the Ningnan army set off from the village and the whole army retreated, but it was not until this time that they suddenly found that they could no longer withdraw.

Before the battle, the Feng army dug trenches ten miles away from Qingcheng, built earthen walls, and set up a defense line, everyone thought that it was the outer defense line of Qingcheng, which was used to defend against foreign enemies, but in fact, the people of Ningnan were wrong, it was not a peripheral defense line at all, and it was not used externally, but internally.

The battle between the two armies has not yet begun, Shangguan Xiu has already made a conclusion about this war, this is a siege and annihilation battle with less battles and more battles on his side, since it is an encirclement and annihilation war, then it is necessary to cut off the retreat of the Ningnan army, this is the real meaning of this defense line more than ten miles away from Qingcheng.

When the Ningnan Army withdrew, this defense line had been occupied by the second and fourth corps of the Seventh Army of the Wind Country, and the worst thing was that the defense line was full of artillery of the Ningnan Army, and these artillery pieces were the trophies captured by the Feng Army outside the city when they attacked the logistics supply team of the Ningnan Army.

The remnants of the Ningnan Army, which numbered less than 80,000 people, were defeated, and they were subjected to fierce artillery bombardment by the Feng Army during the retreat, and the angry fire of the artillery was all connected. The specifications of Ningnan artillery and Fengguo artillery are different, and the wind army has no way to use it for a long time.

Dense artillery shells poured into the camp of the Ningnan Army like hailstones, and the sound of rumbling explosions was endless.

Peng Sheng personally led the two corps and desperately charged the Feng army in the defensive line, intending to forcibly break through a gap to help the whole army break out.

However, the wind army in the defense line at this time is no longer the wind army when they first came to Qingcheng, and the Ningnan army at this time is not the Ningnan army with high morale when they first came.

Peng Sheng's breakthrough suffered a fierce counterattack from the Feng army, and the soldiers suffered countless losses, and even Peng Sheng himself was killed by a stray bullet in front of the two armies.

Seeing that it was really impossible to retreat to the west, the remnants of the Ningnan Army retreated to the north under the leadership of the eldest grandson Huai'an. To the north, the Fifth Corps of the Wind Seventh Army was waiting for it. The battle did not last long, and ended with another retreat of the Ningnan army.

Immediately afterwards, the Ningnan Army retreated southward, but what was waiting for them in the south was the old opponent, the Sixth Corps of the Feng Seventh Army, that is, the same corps that had attacked the southern camp last night.

In the hands of the Sixth Corps, the Ningnan Army did not bargain.

Tens of thousands of Ningnan troops rushed left and right, but in front and behind them, they were all wind troops. In the east, there is Qingcheng, which is impregnable and cannot be captured for a long time, in the west, there are the second and fourth corps of the Feng Army, in the north there is the Feng Fifth Corps, and in the south there is the Sixth Corps.

The remnants of the Ningnan Army have now been blocked to the west of Qingcheng. The encirclement tactics of the wind army were also officially completed.

After a series of breakout battles throughout the day, the strength of the Ningnan Army has been sharply reduced from less than 80,000 to less than 50,000. In the battle of Qingcheng, the strength of the two sides was also reversed. At present, the Ningnan army is facing a situation in which it has run out of ammunition and food, is embattled on all sides, has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground, and is in a desperate situation.

The eldest grandson, Huai'an, gathered all his forces, rested for more than an hour, and launched a general attack on the Sixth Corps of the Wind in the south in the evening.

It's a pity that at this time, the general offensive of the Ningnan army was very weak, and the ammunition of many soldiers had already run out.

Under the ferocious firepower of the Wind Army, such a breakthrough is no different from suicide.

Soon, while the Feng Army of the Southern Defense Line resisted the general attack of the Ningnan Army, the Feng Army in Qingcheng City, the Feng Army of the Western Defense Line, and the Feng Army of the Northern Defense Line counterattacked together and launched a three-sided siege on the Ningnan Army.

The only 2,000 cavalry of the Seventh Wind Army, with the cooperation of the infantry, rushed into the camp of the Ningnan Army, which was like entering a no-man's land.

At this point in the battle, there is no suspense at all, even if the eldest grandson Huai'an still wants to fight to the death, but the soldiers below are all the fighting spirit, and they have given up resistance, and the soldiers of the Ningnan Army who formed a battalion and corps surrendered to the Feng Army.

In the end, the eldest grandson Huai'an was left with only a few hundred pro-soldier guards, and at their feet, there were all the corpses of the soldiers of the Ningnan Army.

The eldest grandson, Huai'an, stood on a hillside that was not too high with a sword in his hand, raised his eyes and looked around, and lamented: "The end of the hero, but that!" As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand to his neck, making a gesture to wipe it off.

Several henchmen near him hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed the arm of the eldest grandson Huai'an, and said in a trembling voice: "The prince must not be killed!"

"The army of 200,000 is destroyed in one fell swoop, what face does this king have to survive in the world, and what face does he have to face what ten thousand people are pointing to?"

But as long as there is a way to live, who is willing to go to the road of death? The eldest grandson Huai'an now feels that he really has no way to live, and he can only apologize for his sins with death.

"Lord Wang!" several subordinates grabbed his arm and knelt on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding guards also knelt down, and the men who were covered in blood cried loudly one by one at this time.

"This king is ashamed to wait, the debt of human affection that cannot be paid off in this life can only be repaid in the next life!" As he spoke, he pushed away several subordinates and put his sword in front of his neck again, at this moment, a gunshot rang out in the distance, and a spirit bullet pierced the sky, flying over, impartial, and was in the middle of the sword of the eldest grandson Huai'an.

Syllable!

The saber flew out of his hand. The eldest grandson Huai'an's body was shocked, and he involuntarily took a step back.

"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why should the prince think about it so much!" With a loud voice, dozens of horsemen came out of the camp of the Wind Army, led by more than ten people, all of whom were generals of the Wind Army.

One of the wind generals in the middle is the commander of the Seventh Army, Jiang Leopard. On his left and right, they are Wang Xu and Liu Biao.

The eldest grandson Huai'an subconsciously rubbed his hands that were numb from the shock and kept trembling, he raised his eyes to look at the Jiang Leopard who was speaking, and asked, "Who is the person who came?"

"In the country of Xiafeng, Jiang Leopard, I have seen His Royal Highness King An!" Jiang Leopard sat on his horse and bowed to his eldest grandson Huai'an.

The eldest grandson Huai'an's face turned red, but he still bowed back and said, "It turned out to be General Jiang, and this king has lost his respect!"

As he spoke, he straightened his chest and said: "This king is defeated, there is nothing to say, let your army dispose of it, but, these brothers of this king...... I also hope that General Jiang can ignore the past suspicions and let them live!"

The words of the eldest grandson Huai'an deeply moved his subordinates, and also surprised Jiang Leopard and other generals. This King An is not very good at fighting, but he is really good, as a golden branch and jade leaf, the prince who is high in the sky, when his life is still difficult to protect, he even thinks about fighting for a way to live for his subordinates, such a prince is really rare, whether it is in the country of wind or in Ningnan.
