The staff's words were reasonable, and Li Ke nodded slowly after listening, and his face finally looked better. As long as Li Cunxiao can defeat Liu Dazheng and successfully reach Qinzhou City, the situation will indeed be as the staff said.

Li Keyong glanced around at everyone, his eyes swept over several Taibao, and said coldly: "If you can be more motivated on weekdays, like the Thirteenth Taibao, and also achieve the realm of military generals, why would the situation in Qinzhou City be so difficult today?"

Many of the generals who had just breathed a sigh of relief were ashamed. was criticized by Li Keyong so much, no one could still hold on to their faces, and some people's faces turned even red, and they asked for orders to go out of the city to fight to the death with the Pinglu army.

Seeing that the success had inspired the morale of the generals, Li Ke was quite satisfied in his heart, waved his hand and said: "If you have the heart to die, go down and prepare for life." When the Thirteenth Taibao army arrives, we will wait for the inside and the outside to join forces, and let Li Ye know that it is powerful!"

Most of the people looked excited, and after saying that they wanted to advance and retreat with Li Keyong and survive with Qinzhou City, they went down to return to their posts.

The government hall was soon empty, and Li Keyong sat down in his place, looking at the empty room, frowning and deep in thought.

Li Cunxiao is the most courageous general of the Hedong Army, second only to himself, if even Li Cunxiao can't defeat Liu Dazheng, then even if he is replaced, the result will not be much different.

After a while, Li Keyong stood up, came to the door and saw the outside of the house, flicked his sleeves behind him, snorted coldly, and was full of momentum: "In terms of the strength of the monks, in terms of the overall combat strength of the army, my Hedong Army is no better than the Pinglu Army with the help of the demon clan." But if you want to compete with the brave and good fighting of the generals, who in the world can beat me Hedong?"

At this point, Li Ke's eyes were already full of ambition to win, "Although this battle is heavy and turbulent, but the war has developed to the current situation, and the victory or defeat depends on the battle of generals, which is God help me!"

His confidence in Li Cunxiao is as full as his confidence in himself.

After Li Ye got the battle report between Liu Dazheng and Li Cunxiao, he pondered for a while, and asked Song Jiao to go down first to call the heralds, and gather the main generals of the Pinglu Army, the Tianping Army, the Henghai Navy, and the Zhaoyi Army to discuss matters in the big tent.

The proceedings did not last long, as the content was simple. Li Ye issued a military order to attack Qinzhou City.

In this concise military order, Li Ye ordered the elite of all armies to go out and attack the city day and night. Li Ye's purpose is very clear, not to give Qinzhou City a chance to breathe, until the city is taken.

The order for the general attack came very suddenly, much earlier than expected, but Xue Wei, Kang Chengqian, and others had no objection to this. The Fenzhou reinforcements have been defeated, and now the Yizhou reinforcements are still fighting with Liu Dazheng, and everyone knows these military information, and they all have judgments on the development of the war situation. The general offensive is in line with the situation.

At the end of the military discussion, Li Ye looked around at everyone and said in a calm tone: "General Liu led his troops to intercept Li Cunxiao, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat in the short term. At this moment, our army is attacking Qinzhou City, and Li Keyong still has no rescue. Before Liu Dazheng and Li Cunxiao split the victory, it is our task now to capture Qinzhou City!"

"The last general commands!" the generals clenched their fists. Li Ye's meaning is very clear, it is difficult for Liu Dazheng to defeat Li Cunxiao, that is, he can hold on for some time and not be intercepted by Li Cunxiao for the time being.

In order for the coalition forces to capture the city of Qinzhou, they must preempt Li Cunxiao to break through Liu Dazheng's defense. Otherwise, once Li Cunxiao arrived at the city of Qinzhou, the battle situation would become extremely unfavorable to the coalition forces.

The next day, with the dull sound of horns, more than 100,000 ironclad soldiers marched out of the coalition camp besieging the city on three sides. They first came out of the city in several majestic torrents, and then under the command of drums and banners, they were led by their respective generals to form a formation.

Soon, in the open space on three sides outside the city, there were three endless ironclad oceans. Nest cars, ladder cars, and box cars are listed among them, and those that exceed the head of the city are as high as ten zhang.

After one hundred and ten tall catapults carried out countless rounds of fierce bombardment of the city wall, with Li Ye's military order, in the rumbling war drums, a wave of tide was divided into three ironclad seas, and the surging and unparalleled spread towards the city.

The shouts of killing rang out one after another, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Li Ye stood on the watchtower with his hands in his hands, calmly watching the army attacking the city.

Behind him, Xue Wei, Li Chengqian and other envoys and several civil officials and staff members stood.

The Holy Son and the Holy Child were separated from each other, and the two stared at the battlefield for a while, exchanging glances several times behind Li Ye's back. In the end, the Holy Son couldn't help but say: "Can Liu Dazheng stop Li Cunxiao? Our army on our side is exhausted, attacking the city with all its might, and the formation is so open, if he can't stop it, let Li Cunxiao rush over, and the army will not be able to retreat." ”

Li Ye didn't speak.

Of course, he knew that the words of the Holy Son were right, when the fierce battle was raging and the two sides were deadlocked and entangled, if Li Cunxiao broke through Liu Dazheng's interception, this side would indeed not be able to retreat in time, and the coalition forces would suffer heavy losses at that time.

If it is serious, if Li Keyong is well prepared, the battle situation allows, and they should cooperate with the outside world, then the coalition forces will be in direct danger of rout.

After the Holy Son finished speaking, the Holy Infant saw that Li Ye had not spoken, so he asked, "Do you want to mobilize the elite troops to support Liu Dazheng in the past?"

Li Ye shook his head: "No need. ”

He then said with a firm expression: "Liu Dazheng may not win, but he will not be quickly defeated by Li Cunxiao, we have three to five days to capture Qinzhou City." ”

The two nodded one after another, and since Li Ye was confident, they didn't say anything more. The question just now is because the situation is indeed not slackening, and it is their responsibility to remind them that they should be reminded. But in the same way, they also believe in Li Ye's arrangement and believe that his dispatch can win this war.

After all, Li Ye's military talent, whether it was in the previous pacification of the Huangchao Rebellion or in the process of this expedition to Hedong, has been fully reflected, and they are convinced.

In a fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses accumulated up and down the city wall had reached thousands, and blood stained the female wall. Coupled with the incessant fierce fighting between the two sides over the past few days, the war has reached a white-hot stage by this time, and all the forces have poured out, and there is no longer half of it reserved.

A day and night later, although Qinzhou City was bloody and fired, it was still firmly controlled by the Hedong Army.

The battle continued on the second day.

In order to boost the morale of the army, Li Ye still supervised the battle behind the battle. The soldiers of the two armies fought to the death, and the blood flowed and drifted, but none of the monks above the real human realm made a move. In the case of a balance of power among the monks, there is a tacit understanding on both sides.

At the end of the second day, not only the Pinglu army attacked the city several times, but also the Zhaoyi army and the Tianping army also gained a firm foothold in the city several times, although they were finally driven down, but it was enough for the whole army to see the dawn of victory.

The third day was the earliest time limit for Li Ye to assume the capture of the city.

The fierce battle on this day was especially bloody, and it had reached the level of what can be described as a bloody battle, every section of the city was repeatedly soaked in blood, and many soldiers fell in pools of blood at every moment.

When the sun was setting and it was approaching twilight, the war could only be described as crazy. Most of the soldiers of the Pinglu Army were like crazy, and they desperately attacked the defenders of Qinzhou City, wanting to capture Qinzhou City today.

However, until the end of the day, the fighting continued, and the city was still not taken. The defense line of Qinzhou City was obviously crumbling, and the defense of the Hedong Army had begun to be stretched, but the coalition forces just had no way to take it.

By the time the time came to the fourth day, a lot of things began to change.

The Pinglu army became more irritable, the Hedong army defending the city also became more anxious, and the bloody battles of the soldiers on both sides became more frenzied. They know very well that the battle between Li Cunxiao and Liu Dazheng may be decided in the next moment.

If the soldiers of the Pinglu army want to control the victory or defeat of the war in their own hands, they must take the city before then, otherwise the advantage they have now will be wiped out in an instant, and their own lives will not be guaranteed.

The officers and men of the Hedong Army were struggling to support, and they looked to the northeast in the blood and fire countless times, expecting Li Cunxiao to capture the banner and lead the army to appear to rescue them.

Li Ye always stood on the watchtower with a calm face, looking at the battlefield silently, looking at the wisdom bead and full of confidence.

Li Keyong, who was standing in front of the Qinzhou City Tower, had the same demeanor as him.

In fact, no one knows what the two of them are thinking.

On the night of the fourth day, Li Ye walked down the watchtower, Li Keyong walked down the city wall, and both sides gathered their henchmen and began to discuss urgently.

Li Ye didn't say much at the military meeting, only asked everyone to prepare, and tomorrow will be the winner. Monks above the real realm should also be prepared to fight with the other party.

When Li Keyong returned to the political affairs hall, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and after listening to the casualty reports of the generals as usual, he said undoubtedly: "We must hold on for three more days!"

According to the generals' speeches, it is already a great fortune that Qinzhou City can hold on for one more day, which is of course unacceptable to Li Keyong. He had to continue to defend Qinzhou City, and as for the three days, it was just the first easier goal to achieve.

However, it was this goal that kept all the generals silent. The previous attitude of boiling blood and not hesitating to die is gone.

"Why, you and the others have been beaten by the Pinglu army? Don't forget, our Hedong army has never lost! Now there are tens of thousands of capable soldiers in the city, why not defend the city for three days?!" Li Keyong couldn't help but be furious when he saw that everyone was silent.

Among the generals, there was still no answer. No matter how aggressive Li Ke used, they lost the morale they had before.

After being forced by Li Keyong not to express his position, Li Sizhao raised his head and asked, "Your Royal Highness the King of the County, it's been four days, Li Cunxiao...... Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Everyone thought before that Liu Dazheng was not Li Cunxiao's opponent at all, and he was bound to be defeated quickly. Li Cunxiao was able to rush to Qinzhou City three days ago, but now there is no news at all.

The hope in the hearts of the officers and men of the Hedong Army has gradually turned into despair.

Li Keyong's face changed, the corners of his mouth moved, and he couldn't answer for a while. After half a ring, he smashed the table in front of him with a slap: "Roll down to this king!"

The generals looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak, and bowed down one after another.

When everyone dispersed, Li Ke slammed his fist to the ground, his clothes and hair fluttering, "Li Cunxiao, you rice bucket, it's been four days, and you haven't even arrived in Qinzhou City yet! At such a critical time, you actually mistook me! If this king is defeated in this battle, how different are you from the dragon?!"

The dragon is Xiang Yu's right-hand man. In the crucial battle between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang for hegemony, Long He led more than 200,000 elite troops, but failed to defeat Han Xin, who had only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, resulting in a complete collapse of the battle situation, resulting in Xiang Yu finally being defeated by Liu Bang.
