29 The art of exhausting the enemy

Hearing Qing Zhan say this, Jielan relaxed a little, she thought that since it was helpful to the war, and Qi Xue herself agreed, then she should not object, she exhaled a long breath and said, "Okay, but be careful, don't mess around." ”

Qi Xue nodded, she opened her right hand and began to summon spiritual power, while Qing Zhan also opened her spiritual power at the same time, grabbed her right hand, and passed the spiritual power over.

Feeling the strong spiritual power from the Qing station, Qi Xue was quite admirable, thinking that this young gentleman was really extraordinary, his spiritual power was still slightly better than Chengfeng, Qi Xue felt his spiritual power, not only did not feel uncomfortable, but felt very comfortable, she condensed her mind, aimed at the sky, and summoned the 'Xuanfeng Snow', and suddenly, the snowflakes in the sky flew down under the drive of the wind, falling on the ground in July, falling on the city wall, and also falling on the heads of those soldiers.

The soldiers on the walls saw that the snow suddenly began to fall, and the white expanse drowned out the fireworks of their brimstone arrows. It's July now, although the July of Qing Zhou City has been a little cool, but the snow in July has never been, they don't know the truth and think that the heavens are angry, in order to warn them, otherwise how could such a bizarre thing happen, they all began to be afraid, feeling that the heavens are angry, and will definitely punish them, they want to abandon the city and flee, but they are afraid of the majesty of the city lord, so although everyone is afraid, they still dare not leave their posts without permission.

The generals who commanded them were also very shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, this is just a magic trick by the rebels, everyone guard the city gate, don't let these traitors break in." ”

After those soldiers heard the words of the commander of Hongwang, they began to attack the soldiers below, but because of the snow and fog, they couldn't see the direction of the Qingzhan army at all, so they all shot randomly, and Tanqi allowed the soldiers to shout loudly without having to clash with them head-on, so Yu Qing's army could be said to be trying its best to block the other party, but the other party did not intend to really fight them.

After about half an hour of stalemate, the Qingzhan asked the soldiers to retreat, and then asked the drummers to turn off the drums, and in an instant, the noisy night suddenly fell silent, and the soldiers on the city wall were even more frightened, wanting to see the situation outside, but how could they see clearly in the white expanse?

The commander of Hongwang was afraid that the other party would have any tricks, so he said to one of the vanguards: "You go out to see the situation and come back to inform me." ”

The soldier was naturally a little frightened, and wanted to refuse but how dare he disobey the military order, so he reluctantly responded: "Yes! "Then he went down the wall, and let the keeper of the gate open the gate, and he rushed out of the gate, and went forward to inquire about the situation, and as soon as he went out, the gate behind him was opened." Bang dang' slammed shut, the surveyor was very afraid, afraid that he would be killed by random arrows as soon as he went out, he cautiously ran towards the snow and mist, did not run a few steps, and when the soldiers on the city wall could not see him, he saw that there was no one in front of him, and when he was wondering, he suddenly felt that someone behind him pulled hard, he actually fell off the horse, he knew that he was attacked by a surprise, and wanted to get up quickly to face the enemy, but before he got up, he was clasped by the other party's hands, covered his mouth, he saw that it was the other party's soldiers, he was immediately frightened, and felt that he would have no way to live, so he struggled to escape, how could he escape if he was not enough? In this way, he was carried back into the formation by two soldiers.

And one of the soldiers put the horse back, and the horse galloped back to the city gate by itself, and the soldiers on the city wall heard the sound of the horses' hooves, and thought that the soldiers had returned, but when they saw the white horse coming out of the snow and mist, they were shocked, because there was no one at once, although this was expected, but the other party was able to catch him quietly, like a ghostly fairy, which made them extremely afraid.

Everyone's heart is trembling, they are doubting, they are afraid, but what is the use of being afraid at such times?

Hongwang didn't know what to do for a while? I don't know the situation of the other party, and if I rush out to attack, I am afraid that I will be ambushed, but if I continue to consume it like this, will I have to sit back and wait? Just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw a soldier galloping on horseback, he got off his horse and went directly to the city wall, knelt down to the commander of Hongwang and said: "Report to the commander, the east gate and the west gate have been attacked by traitors, and now they can no longer support it, Captain Zhongyin sent his subordinates to ask the commander for support." ”

Hongwang was taken aback, he didn't expect that in addition to the south gate being attacked, the east and west gates were attacked at the same time, it seems that the enemy is using the north and south gates as a feint attack location, and the focus is to attack the east and west where the soldiers are weakly deployed, no wonder they did not attack.

After analyzing the war, he immediately mobilized 30,000 horses and horses to go to the east and west gates to rescue, and he handed over the city gate here to his deputy commander, and personally went to the west gate to supervise, so as not to break the city gate, which would be terrible.

Seeing that the people on the city wall gradually began to retreat a lot, Qing Zhan and Tan Qi knew that they had fallen into a trick and began to transfer people to the east and west two gates, Qing Zhan hurriedly said to Tan Qi: "Order the generals at the west and east two gates, let them retreat their men and horses, and do not fight again, but send the five thousand soldiers allocated in advance to the north and south two gates in two groups, and launch a fierce attack after a cup of tea." ”

Tan Qi understood Shaojun's strategy, this is a trick to change the military deployment of the four gates at any time, so that the other party is confused which one is true and which one is false, and when the soldiers of the north and south gates go to support the other two, the military forces of these two places are extremely weak, and now to attack again, it will be much easier, in this way, not only make the opponent's army tired, but also make them unable to guard against it, as long as it continues, I am afraid they will not be able to support it for long.

Tan Qi immediately mobilized the soldiers and horses according to the deployment of Shaojun, because most of these soldiers did not fight at first, and those who fought also retreated, and just ate the steamed buns and other things that Jielan and they transported, and suddenly felt energetic, and arrived at the north gate at a tea time.

The soldiers on the other side of the city wall are almost on the way to the east and west gates, and even if they attack now, they can't return in time. Seeing that the time had come, Qing Zhan gave an order, and his morale was immediately boosted, and he immediately stormed away.

The soldiers on the south gate saw the shouting of killing and the sound of drums that shook the heavens and the earth again, and immediately became ready to fight like frightened birds, but this time they thought that the other party was bluffing again and would not really come, so although they were afraid, they felt that they did not have to worry about their lives.

However, what they don't understand is that this time, the attack is real!

The soldiers began to move the ladder and quickly climbed up the ladder with their shields, and this time the attack was carried out by 3,500 soldiers together, so the momentum seemed several times greater than the previous two times, and the soldiers panicked when they saw it, and some of the soldiers' hands were trembling when they shot arrows.

Soon, the army of Qingzhan dominated, the soldiers on the city wall gradually lost, blood filled the entire battlefield, the smell of fish drifted with the wind, and the screams and screams of those soldiers wrapped the night sky, making people listen as if they were in a purgatory, Jielan held Qi Xue's hand tightly, feeling extremely cold, she knew that war was cruel, even if she didn't want to shed blood, but power is always in exchange for blood.

The battle lasted until the hour, when the army of the station had all climbed the city wall and began to fight with the soldiers on the city wall, and the soldiers who struck the city gate with large wooden stakes also knocked the city gate open, and they immediately rushed into it together, and a melee began.

The battle lasted until the ugly time, only to see that Hongwang with reinforcements rushed over from the west gate, looking at his panting appearance, obviously tortured enough, Qingzhan thought that as long as the city gate was breached, with one blow, he could change the previously planned combat method and directly let the soldiers rush into the city, smash Huanglong, and take Yu Qing and the two, but he saw that in addition to Hongwang with thousands of soldiers daring to come, there were three thousand soldiers in the north who were quickly rushing over, these three thousand soldiers were the Royal Forest Army, and the Royal Forest Army was compared to other soldiers. Whether it is wisdom or martial arts, it is one in a hundred, and I am afraid that a hard fight with them will only lead to a disadvantage, which will lead to the setback of the army of the Standing Force, and now when the last battle is not needed, it is the best time to let the opponent's soldiers be physically and mentally exhausted.

Qing Zhan hurriedly shouted: "The army retreats, withdraw from the city!" ”

The soldiers are fighting to rise, and when they hear the order to retreat, they are a little reluctant, but the military order is difficult to disobey, so they have to withdraw from the city immediately, retreat, and see that in another hour, I am afraid that the sky will be about to dawn, and tonight can be regarded as a heavy blow to these troops of Yu Qing, and wait until tomorrow to deal with them, he expected that these royal forest troops have always been arrogant, and they are bound to chase them out of the city, and it is not good to stay here and be besieged, so he immediately ordered the army to withdraw in the direction of the camp.

The Imperial Forest Army rushed out of the city gate, and saw that the other army's army had withdrawn, and wanted to chase it, but Hongwang stopped him and said: "Don't go to chase and intercept it, I'm afraid this is their trick to lure the enemy again, and when our whole army arrives, they will surround and annihilate us. ”

After listening to Hongwang's words, Shui Mo, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, thought that there was a certain amount of truth in the poor Kou Mo's chase, and he only smiled: "It seems that as soon as Ben will come, these people are so scared that they run away, but fortunately they run fast, otherwise I will cut off their heads one by one and hang them at the city gate, to see if they dare to be traitors?" ”

Seeing that he was so arrogant, Hongwang didn't say anything, but in his heart he was contemptuous, but it didn't matter, anyway, with him to help, it was better than not being able to hold the city.

They returned to the city and counted the number of soldiers, a total of 50,000 soldiers lost more than 10,000 soldiers in one night, and the number of the other party's 'rebels' was only more than 1,000 people, this ratio made them almost unbelievable, and they also felt frightened, and they were afraid that they would not be able to explain to the city lord.
