Chapter 114: Crisis and Crisis

Seeing that the Daning army was about to be defeated and the world was rising and falling, at this moment, Wei Changqing's face showed a smile of relief.

He ordered a general attack, the whole battle has been fought from morning to evening, a whole day of conquest, Cheng Wang Li Dong's Dacheng army from 100,000 soldiers and horses to less than 10,000 now, retreated to a high ground that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, soldiers and others immediately built simple fortifications, just to fight to the death with Wei Changqing.

Wei Changqing knew in his heart that although at this moment, Li Dong's Dacheng army had already entered the place of death, 100,000 horses had been exhausted, and even the battalion had been lost, these remnants of the defeated generals were just a remnant of the army holding on here, as long as he ordered the Daning army to attack, within three days, he would definitely be able to get rid of this thief who endangered the imperial court.

But he used a more offensive method, which was siege.

Besiege but not attack, these Dacheng troops, when they were besieged on this high ground, did not bring materials and baggage, as long as Wei Changqing strictly surrounded for five days, these Dacheng troops composed of displaced people will definitely be defeated due to lack of water and food, and it will not cost the officers and soldiers a sword.

Li Dong naturally knew in his heart that his Dacheng army would not be able to support it for a long time.

Is it really the death of God?

Li Dong was angry in his heart, so he had to vent to God. These high-ranking officials and generous people took high military salaries and salaries to encircle and suppress these peasants who had no food, but they kept saying that they were for the country and the world.

Li Dong didn't understand, should the poor starve to death? Could it be that people who are starving and can't live are not qualified to stand up and seek justice for their fate?

Li Dong's eyes were full of despair.

After only a day of besieging the mountain, Li Dong could already see the fear of death and despair in the eyes of these soldiers.

At this time, Wei Changqing was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, drinking tea leisurely, just counting the days with his fingers, and as soon as the fifth day arrived, he went up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

At this time, suddenly there was an urgent military order of 800 miles to report, Wei Changqing hurriedly introduced, but heard the report: "The Holy Lord's decree ordered Wei Changqing, the general soldier of Heluo, to quickly lead 50,000 troops and horses from his headquarters, and rush to the capital to Qinwang, Qin here!"

As soon as Wei Changqing heard this, he took the edict and hurriedly asked the messenger: "Why King Qin?"

The man said: "Lord Hui, Zhenyan King Huangfu Taiji led 20,000 Wuyan troops and 5,000 disciples of the Life and Death Sect to attack the Guannei, and immediately attacked Gyeonggi, but in just three days, you can besiege the capital!"

Wei Changqing was shocked and said, "The military order is so urgent, is there no other place, closer to the capital, there are no soldiers and horses to be sent?"

The preacher said, "This is something that my subordinates don't know, but maybe it has already been sent." ”

Wei Changqing thought for a moment, knowing that the edict could not be disobeyed, and the situation was indeed urgent, but he had just found a way to force Li Dong to a dead end, and in just five days, he could eradicate this confidant for the Daning Dynasty, but now, he had to let him go in vain.

Wei Changqing knows very well that letting the tiger return to the mountain will be a big disaster in the future.

However, compared to the capital and the Son of Heaven who are in danger in front of them, the matter of King Qin is more important.

Wei Changqing had to sigh and ordered: "Order, immediately pull out the camp, assemble the military horses, and rush to the capital as quickly as possible." ”

"Order!" everyone was commanded.

Li Dong was depressed in the military tent, he had already thought about his death, and he was ready to cut himself off.

But at this moment, the spies outside came to report: "Report to the king, the official army has withdrawn!"

"What?"

"King, the official army has withdrawn, it has really been withdrawn, and there is no piece of armor left!"

Li Dong thought that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly ran out and looked towards the periphery, and sure enough, he saw that the besieging Daning official army had disappeared without a trace, and looked away from afar, but saw the smoke and dust billowing on the horizon in the distance, it was indeed the 50,000 army led by Wei Changqing, and at this moment, under the heights, there was already silence.

"It can't be that Wei Changqing is making some tricks, right?" Li Dong wondered in his heart.

In order not to fall for the plan, Li Dong ordered the remaining Dacheng army on the high ground to repair in place for a day, and at the same time sent spies to the four directions to investigate, and indeed found no signs of Wei Changqing's ambush.

The retreat of the officers and troops rekindled the hope of the Dacheng army.

On the second day, Li Dong led the Dacheng army to pull out the camp and go down to the high ground, and sure enough, the officers and troops had retreated cleanly, and the ground was in disarray, Li Dong was overjoyed, thinking that something more critical must have happened in Wei Changqing's army, and he would rather give up the siege at this moment than retreat.

Li Dong looked at these people who followed him to fight to the death, and said loudly: "This is God bless me Dacheng, God has eyes, knowing that we and other poor people have no way to live, here gives us a way to live, this is Dacheng's destiny, but also the catastrophe of the Daning Dynasty, Daning's luck has arrived, it's our turn to end it!"

Li Dong shouted, and the Dacheng army all over the mountains cheered loudly, as if at this moment, they had won a battle.
