After a day's rest, the 200,000 siege army of Chu State has been adjusted to the best combat state, and the army has been governed by Sikong for many years, and the generals under his command have already been built into an iron-blooded army, and there is no need to do pre-war mobilization. Sikong Li ordered all the soldiers to eat and drink enough, and he stood on the city tower, not knowing what he was thinking.

The ugly time has come, the army is arrayed, according to the plan previously formulated from the east, west and north three sides at the same time, Sikong Li divided the three thousand elites into forty teams, and sneaked in from the secret passage.

Since the day Li Jian left the Golden Wolf City, Xu Caiyong ordered the whole army to be on guard, and he never took off his armor, only slept for two hours a day, and spent the rest of the time on arranging fortifications.

At that time, the laws of the Liang State were extremely strict, and those who collaborated with the enemy and treason, the nine clans, those who escaped from the battle, the nine clans, those who retreated without a fight, and the nine clans, were all because these soldiers had to fight hard for the families behind them.

Xu Caiyong and Li Jian conjectured in unison, the state of Chu had been stable for so long, and it was time to launch an offensive again, and there were a thousand defenders in Golden Wolf City who took turns patrolling the night every night to prevent the Chu army from attacking at night. Under the bloody lessons of the previous few times, the soldiers of Liang did not dare to be careless, did not dare to be careless during the night patrol, and immediately reported to the authorities as soon as there was a disturbance.

That night, the night guards were patrolling the city tower as usual, when they suddenly felt the earth shake violently, and the neighing of war horses came from not far away, and they shouted loudly: "Oh no, the Chu army has been killed!" ”

Fengzi lit the wolf smoke, and the next moment the lights in the Golden Wolf City were bright, Xu Caiyong rushed to the head of the city, looked at the dense enemy troops not far away, and said in his heart: It's finally here! Commanding his soldiers to burn the boiling gold juice, prepare the wood and rolling stones, and rows of crossbowmen lined up on the city wall, the tips of the arrows were aimed at the front, once the Chu army entered the firing range, they would shoot head-to-head, and the axe men were also ready to prevent the Chu army from setting up ladders.

The army of the state of Chu marched to three miles outside the city, and suddenly stopped, Xu Caiyong couldn't guess the intentions of the enemy army for a while, and after a rough estimate of the number of people besieging the city, he dispelled the idea of taking the initiative to go out of the city to meet the battle, and secretly thought, no matter who you send from the state of Chu to lead the troops this time, our army is fully prepared.

According to the battle plan drawn up before, the three-way army attacked together, and now outside the city is waiting for Sikong Li to lead the elite to raid, and at the same time, the army slaps its swords, creating noise, attracting the attention of the Liang army, and ensuring that the military god can lead the army to infiltrate smoothly.

The two armies confronted each other, and the whole army was on standby.

Xu Caiyong's palms were full of sweat, and he rubbed his armor vigorously to prevent the hand holding the knife from slipping, and sneered: "A sneak attack at night is a good strategy for attacking the city, but I'm afraid you didn't expect our army to be deployed early, no matter if you are a Sikong Li or a hundred miles of strength, is it really that I have no one in the beam!" ”

Just as Xu Caiyong was about to give the vanguard a head-on attack, there was a commotion at the head of the city, and the sound of fighting came from the feet, and there was a loud "boom", the city gate was smashed from the inside, and the Chu army outside the city accelerated the charge as if it had received an order. A soldier with a bloody face hurriedly ran up to the city tower and exclaimed, "General Xu, it's not good!" I don't know when the city was dug out by Chu thieves dozens of secret passages, and thousands of Chu troops poured out at once, and the person at the head was Sikong Li, and now the city gates on the east, west and north sides have been breached! ”

Xu Caiyong was shocked, day and night, every day sent heavy troops to guard, and more special soldiers listened, but he was still dug out of the tunnel by the Chu army under his nose, and he was busy ordering his lieutenant general to guard the city tower, and he led a team of men and horses to kill the city tower, but only 100,000 defenders, how to block the 200,000 Chu iron cavalry charge, not long after, the city gates on three sides fell, and the Liang army was already lacking in skills.

Chen Xiong said with a smile: "Before attacking the Golden Wolf City, the widow never thought that there would be the help of the sect of the Divine Machine Cave, and the army cooperated with the surprise attack of the tunnel, and the effect was remarkable, which was an unexpected joy." This morning, Lu Jianxin has gone to the front line of Yongzhou, I believe that there will be many surprises for the widow in the follow-up, the national teacher does not have to worry, besides, the national teacher should not forget, in addition to the Shenji Cave, there are also two sects of Tai'a Sword Sect and Tayun Mansion that have not yet been dispatched, as long as they are put into the battlefield, it will be a big killer move! ”

In Qingyang City, the news of the loss of the Golden Wolf City was also quickly transmitted back to Beijing, Feng Jingquan was furious, and sharply questioned the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "In just one night, the Golden Wolf City was lost, my army killed and wounded 100,000 soldiers, and countless Jingguan were built outside the city. ”

Taishi Jiang Qing stood up tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the old minister heard that the prince has retreated to the Red Dragon City before the war, leaving only half of the defenders in the Golden Wolf City, with only these 100,000 people, it is not Xu Caiyong's fault that it is difficult to block the 200,000 tiger and wolf division of the Chu State, and this person would rather die than retreat, although the whole army was wiped out, but he set an example for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my Daliang, although he died in glory, and why did King Qing retreat to the rear of the Red Dragon City, the old minister did not understand the military, and did not dare to make a conclusion. The implication is that Xu Caiyong was forced to lead 100,000 remnants of the army against the 200,000 army of the Chu State, all because Li Jian divided his troops before the war, and the battle of the Golden Wolf City began, and he did not support it in time.

Feng Jingquan's face turned pale, brushed his sleeves away, and left the hall angrily.

Since Yang Xiu returned to Beijing, he has been following Feng Jingquan's side and guarding him closely, and the latter asked, "What does Gonggong Yang think Li Jian's intention is to retreat to Red Dragon City?" ”

Yang Xiu lowered his head and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave is a eunuch, according to my Great Liang ancestral system, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, how dare the slave talk about King Qing." ”

Feng Jingquan said coldly: "Taishi Jiang has always been at odds with Li Jian, I know that he intends to blame Li Jian on the main hall just now, and now I want to hear the truth, you just have to speak boldly, you don't have to think about anything else." ”

Only then did Yang Xiu put his mind at ease and said: "The reason why the slave heard that the Golden Wolf City was lost in such a short period of time was because of the help of the Divine Machine Cave of the Chu State Sect, and forty tunnels leading directly to the Golden Wolf City were dug between the two cities, and the army charged. And the reason why King Qing moved the camp to the rear Red Dragon City is because the distance between the Golden Wolf City and the Hundred Divisions City is too close, and at such a close distance, it is too late to arrange fortifications, and the Chu army will not watch my Liang army deploy defenses, and King Qing stays in the Golden Wolf City, which is equivalent to forcing my Liang to fight with the Chu State to settle the world, and it is not beneficial for the opponent to hold a greater advantage in the Great Liang. Retreating to the rear, with a city's buffer margin, you can make corresponding countermeasures according to the real-time enemy situation. Your Majesty must know that King Qing is not only King Qing, but also the heart of my Great Liang Army, if King Qing dies on the battlefield early, the morale of our army will be greatly damaged. The slave is still the same sentence, since the state of Chu can send a sect like Shenji Cave to help in the war this time, what are the insidious tricks of the next siege, I think I am a big country, and there are many sects, and I can also use the power of these people to fight against the state of Chu. ”

Feng Jingquan's expression eased slightly, and said: "The matter of encircling these people in the rivers and lakes is still handed over to my father-in-law to be fully responsible. ”
