This general granary, which carried the invasion of the Daei army in the south, was filled with raging fires in the dark night.

Even if it is more than ten miles away, you can see the skyrocketing fire.

At the same time, the Daei soldiers on the outskirts looked at the firelight rising in the night sky in the distance, and their faces changed instantly.

One of the lieutenant generals at the head looked at this scene and shouted directly, "It's happening, something happened in the general granary, hurry, don't entangle with these cool soldiers, go to fight the fire as quickly as possible." ”

"Immediately report what happened here to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, go quickly!"

The soldiers of Rongguo, who wanted to step forward for reinforcements, saw that the general granary was burned, where did they still have the heart to deal with the elite of the five cities, and they all turned around and rushed towards the general granary.

At the same time, in the dark night sky, several prairie eagles took off at night and transmitted the news of the place at great speed.

With a turn of his eyes, on the side of Zhenjuncheng, the war between Kukeshu and Fan Wenzhong was quite fierce.

After three days of fighting, even though the Cook technique cut off Fan Wenzhong's water source, this Fan Wenzhong deserved to be a master of defense.

Even though he only had 50,000 horses in his hands, he forcibly blocked the 120,000 troops gathered by Kukshu.

Outside the city of today's town army, there are dead corpses everywhere, and on the city wall, there are also large pieces of corpses, including Liang soldiers and Rong soldiers.

From the destruction and crumbling of part of the city wall, it is enough to see the tragedy of the war.

In the three-day battle, Kukeshu lost 30,000 people and Fan Wenzhong lost 20,000, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was 1.5 to 1.

This was a tough battle, and under Fan Wenzhong's defense, the loss of Cook's men and horses was only 10,000 more.

This is for other people, and there will be no forty or fifty thousand casualties, but the Cook technique has issued such an astonishing proportion.

In a way, Cook is a great conductor.

Although Zhenjuncheng blocked the footsteps of Cookcraft in waves, overall, the losses were somewhat large.

If we continue to fight like this, the remaining 30,000 horses will be exhausted sooner or later.

As a result, Fan Wenzhong had long been mentally prepared, and it was a matter of time before they died here.

But death has to be valuable, and now Su Qi'an can't count on it, Fan Wenzhong issued the last urgent order two days ago.

The five nearby military cities gathered all the soldiers and horses and quickly assembled towards the town military city.

This build-up is to leave no troops behind, and to draw out all the forces that can be mobilized, and fight to the death with the army of Kukshu.

This kind of order, to be honest, violates the law of Da Liang, but Fan Wenzhong can't take care of it so much, it doesn't matter if he dies, but no matter what, he has to keep the town and the military city.

At the same time as the order was issued, Fan Wenzhong also sent the situation here to the imperial court through carrier pigeons.

No matter what kind of punishment the imperial court gave him in the end, Fan Wenzhong had no complaints, he was ready to die on the battlefield at any time.

Fan Wenzhong stood on the city tower, his position was always at the front, and the three-day battle made the veteran have a few more scars on his body.

The armor on his body was a little torn, his white hair was flying, and his face was a little tired.

But even so, Fan Wenzhong's eyes were always filled with blood.

The sharp gaze looked down, and met the Daei army that had gathered and conquered.

Fan Wenzhong shouted, "Everyone, as soldiers, it is our honor to die on the battlefield, remember, people are in the city, and people are dead in the city!" ”

"Today, let these wolf cubs see the might of my cool man! Fight to the death! ”

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

Behind him, countless earth-shattering shouts immediately erupted, and the voices converged from all directions, surrounding the entire town and military city.

This kind of momentum echoed in the town and military city, and it did not disperse for a long time, and from a distance, it looked like a wounded tiger, bursting out with amazing strength, looking up to the sky and roaring.

For a while, the following assembled Darong troops were all stunned.

In the rear, Cook Shu himself sat in charge, feeling the astonishing momentum of the sudden explosion in front of him.

Cook Shu sneered, in his opinion, Fan Wenzhong's encouragement was inspiring, but it was just the end of the crossbow.

With the absolute superiority in numbers, any resistance would be futile, and at most it would only make Cook's technique a little difficult.

Cook Shu's eyes signaled, the standard-bearer in front of the formation, quickly issued an order, and then, the assembled Daei army let out a roar, accumulating surging anger, and the mighty army immediately launched an attack on the town military city.

This time, the siege force towards the town army city was 50,000, which was about half of the current Daei army.

It seems that the Cook technique is not going to be consumed, and wants to conquer the town in one fell swoop.

The mighty army quickly launched an attack, and the walls of the town army city were once again attacked by stones.

Giant wooden carts and ladders were continuously advanced by Daei soldiers towards the town and military city.

Inside the city, the sky was full of arrows and arrows, and on the city wall, countless boulders and logs fell from the wall.

For a while, the war between the two sides fell into anxiety again.

Watching this scene, Cook Shu was not in a hurry, and after a while, the soldiers who were playing the flag began to move again.

After a while, the second echelon, 30,000 horses, quickly mobilized, like a tidal wave, rushing continuously.

With the blessing of these 30,000 horses, a full 80,000, this time, the pressure on the town and military city has multiplied sharply.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Countless boulders fell down on the city wall through catapults, and the city wall of the town army city was high and thick, and after all, some places were smashed out of a few cracks.

The crack widened, and a small gap of about two meters or so appeared, and the Daei soldiers, who climbed through the ladder, rushed towards the gap like crazy.

Seeing that the soldiers of Daiei rushed to the city wall, the two sides were about to start a new round of hand-to-hand combat.

Suddenly, a rapid sound descended from the sky, and a prairie eagle landed steadily on Cook's arm.

Cook Shu frowned slightly, as if he had some bad premonition, and quickly dismantled the small letter scroll at the foot of the prairie eagle.

The letter scroll was opened, and there was only a short line of words on it, "The Liang soldiers attacked and the general granary was burned, so quickly request support." ”

It was this line of small words that directly made Cook's face change greatly, and then he became even more angry.

Crumpled the letter roll, threw it on the ground, and angrily yelled, "Damn! Damn it! A bunch of rubbish! Even the granaries can't stand it, and this king will punish them! All of them have to die! ”

Liu Shengming, who was under him, stepped forward to pick up the paper ball on the ground, and it was rare for Cook to be so angry.

But after Liu Shengming read the information on the letter, he could understand why Cook Shu was angry.

Liu Shengming is okay, after all, he had reminded him of this before, but he didn't pay attention to the Cook technique, but he didn't expect it to come true.

Things have happened, and it is useless to be remorseful and unwilling, and the top priority is how to deal with it.

Although there was not much information revealed on the letter, Liu Shengming was still able to think of some.

was able to quietly evade the detection of the grassland eagle, and mobilize the elite soldiers of the five cities, most of the sneak attackers this time were Su Qi'an.

He is the only one who has this ability, no wonder Su Qi'an disappeared for many days, it turned out that he was waiting for them here.

It's really a fire to burn down the granary to save the military city.

Liu Shengming's eyes flashed quickly, his face was not panicked, and when he looked closely, he was faintly excited.

Soon, Liu Shengming thought of a countermeasure, and he said to Cook.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, since the matter has happened, it is useless to be angry, and your subordinates have a request, please ask Your Highness to give your subordinates 30,000 horses, and within a month, Su Qi'an's body will definitely be brought back to His Highness."

After Cook Shu's anger was vented, he gradually calmed down, but listening to Liu Shengming's request, his face was obviously displeased.

"Do you know what the gentleman is talking about, what does it mean to give the gentleman 30,000 horses at this time?"

"It means that His Highness's attack on Zhenjuncheng this time will be lost, and the army will be withdrawn."

In front of Cook Shu, I am afraid that only Liu Shengming dares to say so blatantly and straightforwardly.

"Now that Mr. understands why this is still the case, Mr. knows, at most, give this king a few more days, and this town and military city will be taken, for a mere 2,000 people Su Qi'an, Mr. wants 30,000 horses, this deal is not cost-effective."

Liu Shengming shook his head and said, "Your Highness, forgive your subordinates for being straightforward, even if you give Your Highness another seven days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take Zhenjun City." ”

"Huh?" Cook's face was obviously not good, but he didn't have a seizure, and his sharp eyes were staring at Liu Shengming.

Liu Shengming did not hesitate, and slowly explained, "First of all, the general granary was burned, I think Fan Wenzhong on the other side will soon know about this news, and when the time comes, with Fan Wenzhong's ability, I am afraid that the morale of Zhenjuncheng will reach its peak." ”

"Even if His Royal Highness has the advantage of soldiers and horses, forcibly attacks the city, and finally takes it, when the casualties come, I dare to conclude that they will only be higher than the Liang soldiers."

"We have been deprived of food and grass, and even if we take the town and military city, we will have to stay in place and repair for a while, and we will not be able to continue to advance."

"And Su Qi'an, who is in our rear, seems to have less than 2,000 men and horses, but the peripheral forces that can be burned to block the granary are the elite of the Liang soldiers of the Five Cities."

"Being able to mobilize the soldiers of the Five Army Cities to drive it, this Su Qi'an is really not an ordinary person, if he really indulges it, this time he can burn our army's grain and grass, and next time he may go deep into the hinterland!"

"Therefore, in order to ensure that our army has no worries, this Su Qi'an must rely on elite soldiers and take this opportunity to exterminate it in one fell swoop, and I hope His Highness will think about it."

Liu Shengming's words, he didn't say a word about the Cook technique, and he obviously listened to it.

Especially that sentence, Su Qi'an is likely to take advantage of this to grow and go deep into the hinterland, which will make Cook's scalp tingle.

This guy can't stay no matter what.

Since Liu Shengming took the initiative to ask for help, Cook Shu did not stop him, and after thinking about it for a while, Cook Shu said.

"Mr. Liu is still thoughtful, since Mr. has a plan, this matter will be handed over to Mr. to do, and this king is looking forward to the good news that Mr. Liu will bring back."

Liu Shengming nodded heavily, then knelt on the ground, and replied with thanks, "My subordinates will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" ”

Cook Shu nodded, looked at the soldiers besieging the city in front of him, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said.

"Pass on the king's order, stop the siege, and the whole army will retreat in an orderly manner, rest and recuperate, and wait for the opportunity to attack the city again."
