Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Second Battle

It has been a long time since the barbarians retreated, and the time has entered October.

Although the barbarians retreated from the heavy troops on the front line of Dagang Town, but in the area of Xincheng, the intensity of the war between the two sides began to slowly escalate again, due to the long battle, the Blood Eagle tribe was not a lot of materials reduced again, as the main tribe of the Blood Eagle is better, at least for the time being, there is no sign of food shortage, but it is also difficult to survive this winter smoothly.

Not to mention those small tribes that are attached to the Blood Eagle, some small tribes have not much food reserves, and some time ago, the young and strong were recruited to fight again, and the labor force has been greatly reduced, and now they have begun to kill cattle and sheep to satisfy their hunger.

Knowing that the situation was critical, Abbas saw that the battalion of the new city on the opposite side was gathering more and more soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass materials were piled up like a mountain, while the logistical burden on his side was drying up day by day, and the support in the grassland was becoming less and less. If it drags on like this, once it is winter, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it.

The best result is, of course, to defeat Li Xin on the opposite side, and even if he can't win, he must think of withdrawing his troops, and the longer the confrontation lasts, the more unfavorable it will be to his side.

Li Xin also wanted to try to attack, after a few months of confrontation, the soldiers were a little slack, and they had to keep their morale at their peak, and the best way to maintain morale was, of course, to fight a few battles with the other side, of course, the scale should be limited, and the strength of the opponent should be slowly worn down.

The generals of the two sides had the same thoughts, and the nearly 100 miles of grassland between the Xincheng camp and the Abbas camp became a gladiatorial arena for the two sides. Abbas gave up the idea of letting the soldiers of those small tribes rush forward first, and directly sent the most elite Blood Eagle Army under his command, the morale of the grassland army can no longer withstand any blows, and only the Blood Eagle Army can not fall under the attack of the other party" can even take advantage of some advantages, at this time, "If you let these small tribes be cannon fodder, I am afraid that these small tribes will be scattered with a bang."

The combat power of the Blood Eagle Army is indeed stronger than the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under Li Xin's command, and in the initial battle, the Blood Eagle Army took advantage of it, and it was always able to successfully defeat Li Xin in the suppression of small forces, until the number of the two warring sides began to rise to about 10,000 people, and it was not until Li Xin began to use the bed crossbow to press the cavalry that the two sides began to stalemate.

Although small victories continue, but Abbas is a day after a day of distress, the Ye Qing guard battalion hovering on one side, has been spitting out the snake letter, so that when he faces the new city camp, he also scored an eye to stare at the opponent, the cavalry of the guard battalion is the most feared army of Abbas, this army is extremely powerful, all the cavalry are equipped with double parts, a pack horse, a war horse, long-distance combat ability, compared to the blood eagle is not much better, even better in group battles, Abbas wants to get out, even if he defeats Li Xinbu, how to get rid of the guard battalion, is also a big problem。 Li Xin's command is a single cavalry, and he has great shortcomings in long-distance combat, if he finds the right time, it is not difficult to get out of the battlefield, but before that, he must solve the personal guard battalion.

Abbas had a crazy plan in his mind.

Qingyun City, Ye Qing and Fu Bo were pulled out by Wen Laoqiang to inspect the new Qin Wu Hou Mansion that was close to completion, this new Qin Wu Hou Mansion is actually the original City Lord's Mansion to be renovated and expanded, but it looks like it gives people a solemn and majestic feeling, which is also the reason why Fu Bo Wen Lao and others have repeatedly insisted on building the Hou Mansion, after all, Ye Qing said this is also the Hou Ye recognized by the human race, even if he himself is simple, but there should still be a façade.

After the completion of the entire Hou Mansion, it is estimated that dozens of gold coins will be used, which makes Ye Qing really painful. Spending so much money to build this, it is better to build more weapons! But he has no choice, now he is also a human with some status, and he always has to be decent, otherwise other forces will look at him like this. Ye Qing could only grit his teeth and take out this money.

Following Wen Lao, Ye Qing's mind was not on this at all, and he said to Fu Bo beside him: "Fu Bo, have you noticed the movement of the Xuancheng camp during this period of time?"

Fauber smiled: "Of course, Abbas is in a hurry and wants to run!"

"If he wants to run, he must pay attention to the guards, otherwise he won't be able to run far, and he will be entangled by the guards, and then Li Xinbu will follow, and he will be in the same situation as he is at present......"

"Yes, the guard camp is the biggest obstacle he wants to run, Master Hou, it is necessary to remind Li Xin and Yang Fan, Abbas is already about to jump over the wall. ”

"No need!" Ye Qing said with a smile: "The last time I went to Xincheng Daying to inspect, Li Xin had already thought of this problem and put forward an idea for me......."

"Li Xin wants to solve Abbas in one battle?" said Fauber with a smile.

Ye Qing nodded, "A few years have passed, Li Xin has finally grown up slowly from a small soldier, and now he really has the ability to command the army, I told him that the generals are outside, the king's orders are not subject to it, what I want is the result, and how to do it is their problem." ”

"Yes, Master Hou, the war with the Blood Eagle has reached its final moment, and when the overall situation has been decided, you might as well let these generals hone it, which will be of great help in the future, and the situation they encounter in the future will be much more complicated than today...... "Fu Bo's eyes are more eastward.

Ye Qing smiled slightly and didn't make a sound. The information sent back from Jinyiwei's spies in the new city is only afraid that the upheaval will be overnight, "Mess up, mess up, chaos will have a chance!" Ye Qing said in his heart.

The large-scale offensive launched by Abbas has lasted for three days, and the offensive is becoming more and more fierce day by day, and the two acropolises of the new city camp have been abandoned one after another, and all the soldiers and horses have withdrawn to the main city. On the battlefield between the two armies, corpses were everywhere, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

"It's almost time!" Li Xin stood at the top of the Xincheng camp, looking at the Abbas troops who were reorganizing the ranks in the distance, and behind him, Zhou Wei, Yang Yong and other generals gathered around him.

"General Zhou Wei, after we leave, can you hold the camp?" Li Xin's gaze turned to Zhou Wei, who was stroking his goatee.

"Lieutenant Li rest assured, as long as you give me 50,000 horses, with the sturdiness and sufficient reserves of the new city camp, Abbas's turtle will not want to take advantage of me!" Zhou Wei said proudly.

Everyone laughed, Zhou Wei is known as the master of turtle flow, and defense is what he is best at" There is really no one present who can compare with him in defense.

"Okay, I'll give you 10,000 people!" Li Xin said with a smile. "Abbas wants a strong man to break his wrist, and we keep asking for his wrist, and even his people have to stay. ”

"Here we go again......" Yang Yong pointed not far away, and the barbarian army roared and rushed again.

Another two days have passed, the war in the new city camp has come to a white-hot stage, the two sides are fighting for every position, it is nightfall, but Abbas still has no intention of retreating, thousands of torches will illuminate the heaven and the earth transparently, Zhou Wei stood on the command platform of the camp, smiled left and right and said: "The puppy is going to do it today, tell the brothers, withstand this wave, the brute will be over!" At that time, there were only more than 100,000 people left in the Xincheng battalion, and all of them were infantry, and the rest of the army was secretly transferred out of the camp by Li Xin one after another in a few days.

Zhou Wei's commander Li Zhizhi regretfully slammed the bloody iron spear on the ground, "It's a pity, we are nailed here, watching other people eat meat, we can only drink a little soup and water!"

Zhou Wei laughed, "Don't be dissatisfied, after this battle, the first credit will definitely be ours." ”

As he spoke, the barbarians attacked again. "Shang*......" Zhou Wei shouted angrily.

Li Shengzhi roared wildly and led the soldiers to rush forward.

The barbarian attack had become weaker and weaker, and finally died down after a charge.

"The dog's mother raised it, and it really looks like it......" Zhou Wei sneered, "After every attack, I secretly took away a troop, if I hadn't expected it in advance, it really seemed that Li Shengzhi, we were opposite, and at this time there was only an empty shell left!"

Li Shengzhi's eyes and nose lit up, "General Deputy Lieutenant Zhou, let's go out and kill him!"

Zhou Wei's eyes glared, "it, as soon as you go out and do it, this matter will be exposed, Abbas is not a pig, Li Duwei has painstakingly waited for Abbas for a few days, so you will be a little bad thing, it's strange not to record your skin!"

Li Shengzhi smiled.

"It's always uncomfortable to look at the meat in your mouth and not eat it. ”

"Bear with me, it won't be long before we can do it here, but there are some old and weak soldiers left on the other side, which really doesn't mean much!"

Dozens of miles away from the Xincheng camp in the acropolis, stationed Yang Fan's guard battalion, this period of time, Abbas frantically attacked the Jingling camp, Yang Fan's guard battalion also sent cavalry to attack Abbas's flank, forcing Abbas to have to divide part of the forces to guard against Yang Fan and feint as a real attack, at dusk today, the Blood Eagle Army seemed to be unable to bear the provocation of the guard battalion, and took the initiative to provoke a battle, but the two armies fought a solid battle, both sides were damaged, and it was not until night that the troops were stopped and truce.

In the middle of the night, Abbas ghostly appeared at the Hushaan military camp.

"Hushaan, did you take the initiative to attack during the day without arousing suspicion?" Abbas asked.

"Don't worry, Marshal, I fought with them during the day, killing and wounding thousands of cavalrymen, and the other party should not doubt our intentions. Hushaan replied.

Abbas looked at the sporadic campfire in Yang Fan's military camp not far away, gritted his teeth and said: "I left thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the new city camp, and transferred the elite to Yang Fan's two wings step by step, and I will give him a fatal blow today." ”
