Chapter 858: Strategizing
At dusk, the siege lasted for a full day, and finally, the wolf soldiers dispersed like a tide, leaving behind the magic crystal cannon craters and countless corpses crisscrossing the land.
Pillars of smoke rose into the sky, but the camp of the Longji Legion in the distance seemed indescribably quiet, they just let the wolf soldiers attack the city, but they did not have a trace of movement.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Luo Xin threw a heavy punch on the pheasant wall of the city wall, shaking the snow to fly.
"They're using the Northern Desert Wolf Soldiers to consume our shells. β
Su Changyan's face turned pale, looked at the enemy camp in the distance, and said: "Today, we have consumed nearly half of the reserves of magic crystal cannon shells in one day, and the original reserves of Dusk Rain City are not much, I am afraid that Fang Lan will personally command the Longji Corps to launch a siege battle at dawn tomorrow, once the magic crystal cannon is used up, we will no longer have the strength to resist." And Xin Gong, you also saw that today they didn't even send a dragon knight to help the wolf soldiers. β
"Cunning and shameless Fang Lan!"
Luo Xin's eyes were deep, and he said, "How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?"
"Not long ago, I received the feather book, His Royal Highness Feng Jixing led 50,000 iron horsemen to come at full speed, but the mount needed to rest, and there were no war horses to replace along the way, so the speed was relatively slow, and the entry into the territory of Tianshu Province was blocked by heavy snow, and it would take about another three days to reach Dusk Rain City. β
"Three days ......" Luo Xin was a little dazed: "Can we survive three days?"
"Do your best, we have 200,000 elite iron-bladed troops in our hands, and there is no reason to sit idly by. β
"Yes, there is no reason for us to sit still...... Luo Xin clenched his iron fist, a fierce light shot out of his eyes, and said: "Pass the order, just say that Feng Jixing and Lin Muyu, the two highnesses commanding 200,000 troops, are already on the way to reinforce Dusk Rain City, and they will be able to arrive in two days, so that the soldiers will fight to defend the city, and when the two highnesses arrive, the thieves of the Tianji Empire will inevitably collapse without a fight." β
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
......
Tianshu Province, Meizhou, on the shore of Fairy Lake.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a column of iron horsemen wearing the insignia of purple flowers on their chests galloped past the lake, and their sturdy figures were reflected in the lake, which was already the last elite cavalry of the empire.
Feng Jixing slowly rode his horse, followed by Zhang Wei, Luo Yu and other deputy commanders of the forbidden army.
"What kind of lake is this?" he asked suddenly.
"Your Highness, it is the northern shore of the Fairy Lake. Luo Yu said respectfully.
"Fairy Lake?"
Feng Jixing's sword eyebrows tightened, and he muttered, "Your Majesty was killed here back then...... Alas, Qin Yi, the king of Zhennan, led to a ten-year catastrophe in his first thought, is this throne really so easy to sit on?"
Zhang Wei smiled: "I'm afraid not necessarily, His Majesty the First Emperor Guangming King has drowned in the Fairy Lake, and His Royal Highness Yin is also unknown for the sake of the empire, how many of you can sit on this throne have a good end?"
Taking out a crumpled map from his bosom, Feng Jixing glanced at it and said, "Pass the order, speed up the march, I'm afraid that the thieves of the Tianji Empire are already attacking Dusk Rain City at this time." β
"Yes. Luo Yu nodded: "My subordinates will order the front army to speed up." β
"Don't mess around. β
Feng Jixing has always used troops steadily, and said in a deep voice: "Keep the Chinese army as the core, the front and rear left and right armies protect each other, and fifteen scout teams must be sent in each direction of the front, rear, left and right to investigate, and don't act rashly at any time." β
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
Luo Yu's eyes are full of admiration, on the ability of the commander, looking at the Great Qin Empire, only Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing make him admire, Lin Muyu is good at using soldiers to make strange plans, often attacking them unprepared, and achieving strange victories, but once it is recognized, I am afraid it will be a big defeat, and Feng Jixing's combat style is completely different, Feng Jixing is more calm, every time the army is bound to divide the left and right armies to help each other, and send a large number of scouts to increase the vision of the entire army, it is precisely this style that makes Feng Jixing never fail to be raided, and it is difficult for the opponent to rush the formation of the army commanded by Feng Jixingγ
On the side, Qu Chu was dressed in a white robe, riding a thin horse with a calm expression, his weight was not bloated, and he used flying power, the war horse did not eat much weight, and the pressure was naturally not great, he looked at everything around him indifferently, but he didn't say anything.
Feng Jixing asked, "Elder Qu, you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties, don't you have anything to say......?"
Qu Chu smiled: "Commander Feng, you and Ah Yu are both famous generals in the empire, but ...... Since the war started on the Tianji Continent, you have never won again, and the two victorious generals have become often defeated generals, have you ever wondered why?"
"I ......"
Feng Jixing was a little embarrassed, and said: "The lesson of Qu Lao is that in fact, I have also thought about it, strength is part of it, but there is another factor that always makes me feel powerless, but I can't say what the reason is." β
"It's the human heart. β
Qu Chu hit the nail on the head and said: "After the three kings ruled the world, the world can no longer return to the heart, you see...... The main forces of our imperial army are now doing their own thing, and their joint combat capability is completely incomprehensible, and what is even more lethal is the local army in various prefectures and counties. β
Feng Jixing was a little silent, Qu Chu's words pierced into his heart like a sharp knife, it is true that people in the world have no return, how should this battle be fought? He clenched his fists lightly and said respectfully: "Please also ask Qu Lao to teach me." β
Qu Chu stroked his beard lightly and said: "There are two ways, one is that Ah Yu is called the emperor and changes his surname to Qin, and the hearts of the people of this world still only recognize one emperor, that is the Qin family, and this world is still the world of the Qin family." β
"It can't be. β
Feng Jixing shook his head: "Don't you still understand Ah Yu's personality as a kid? Calling the king is already his bottom line, he always feels that he is keeping his promise to His Majesty Qin Jin, guarding this country for His Royal Highness Yin, and letting him become the emperor on his behalf, which makes him even more uncomfortable than killing him." Qu Lao, let's talk about another way. β
"Another way is for His Highness Yin to return. β
"This is equivalent to not saying it......" Feng Jixing smiled bitterly: "If His Royal Highness Yin can return, I, Feng Jixing, am willing to exchange my life for her to reign in the world, but no one knows where Her Highness Yin is, perhaps, she is long gone......
"yes. β
Qu Chu took a deep breath: "But the people's will, this is too important, if Commander Feng feels that these two methods are not feasible, he can think of another reason to govern the country and the world." β
"Elder Qu, please speak. β
"Immediately Yushu to Ah Yu, let him start to do it, widely issued an edict to the princes of the world, ordering them to recruit troops on their own, resist the invading thieves on their own, and divide the territory they seized into their fiefs, and all the armies of the Great Qin Empire changed their names, and unified themselves with the name of 'Qin Army', so that they knew that they were the army of the Qin family, but the names of those who died in the war were all included in the Zhenguo Monument. β
"Allow the princes to recruit troops?"
Feng Jixing was stunned, countless thoughts flew through his mind, and said, "The method is feasible, but it's just ...... If the princes are allowed to recruit troops separately, I am afraid that even after destroying the Tianji Empire, it will be difficult to clean up, and the ambitions of the princes everywhere are not small, so it will be difficult for us to suppress them after they have troops. β
Qu Chu smiled slightly: "In this way, it's better than the Qin family's world being wiped out, right?"
Feng Jixing also smiled: "Okay, I understand, I'll write a feather book and send it to Ah Yu, and leave this matter to him, the King of Qin, to do it, I believe Ah Yu will also agree to this proposal." β
"Hmm. β
Qu Chu took a deep look at the north and said, "The three major provinces of the empire, Yunzhong, Tongtian, and Lingkong have been invaded by thieves, and they have lost nearly thirty states in the blink of an eye. β
"yes, I see. β
After writing the feather book, a letter bird flew straight to the east, which was the direction of Winter Frost City, and it seemed that the future of the entire Great Qin Empire was also tied to the wings of this small letter bird.
Soon after, a herald galloped over, looking panicked, holding the feather book in his hand, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Xin, the handwritten letter of Duke Luo Xin of Dusk Rain City!"
"Bring it!"
Feng Jixing reached out and grabbed the letter, shook it open and read it carefully, his face changed drastically.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Zhang Wei and Luo Yu asked at the same time.
"Dusk Rain City is surrounded on all sides, the water is impassable, there are 150,000 Longji Corps and 150,000 wolf soldiers besieging the city, and there are no less than 100 dragon knights to help, most of the dragon knights in the Battle of Luohekou have already reinforced the Longji Corps. β
Zhang Wei held the hilt of the knife, the flames in his eyes were blazing, and said: "Then we speed up the march, maybe we can reach Twilight Rain City in a day and a half, it's not too late! Luo Xin has 200,000 iron-bladed troops in his hands, so he won't be killed in three or two strokes, as long as our speed is fast enough, we should be able to catch up, and when the time comes, we should join forces inside and outside, and kill the Longji Corps without leaving a single piece of armor!"
"It's too late. β
Feng Jixing shook his head: "We can't get in at all, and we may be ambushed by thieves on the periphery, not to mention that we don't have a magic crystal crossbow in our hands now, and so many dragon knights on the other side are enough for us to be wiped out under the city." β
"What should I do then?" Zhang Wei was shocked.
Feng Jixing gritted his teeth, took out the crumpled map again and looked at it for a while, and said categorically: "Order everyone to drop their armor and baggage, and move forward at full speed, we will bypass Dusk Rain City, and we must arrive at Zhenwolf Pass within two days and defeat it!"
"Attack the Wolf Pass?"
Zhang Wei looked stunned: "Then we don't want Dusk Rain City, regardless of Luo Xin's life or death?"
Luo Yu smiled on the side: "Your Highness really has a clever plan, attacking the Wolf Town Pass may be able to save Twilight Rain City." β
Zhang Wei was confused: "What are you talking about? My old Zhang doesn't understand it at all......
