"Oh? I didn't expect them to retreat?"

Looking at the report in his hand, Xiao Feng couldn't help frowning and feeling angry.

Duan Feng also frowned, and replied, "That's right." Since the end of the battle three days ago, the other side has always guarded Jingchuan, and no matter how we provoke, the other side has never moved. ”

"If that's the case, it's going to be difficult. Xiao Feng rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.

Thinking of the battle situation in the distance, she ordered again: "In that case, then you can accompany me to the front line to see what the group of people are planning?"

Duan Feng didn't dare to refuse, and immediately replied with his head bowed: "My subordinates understand." ”

The two of them walked into the tent together and came to a nearby mountain peak. The peak is not very high, probably because it is already autumn, and the grass above has long since decayed, revealing the brown rocks below.

Standing here, Xiao Feng looked into the distance, and suddenly saw a lot of smoke and dust floating in the sky above Jingchuan in the distance.

"How many attacks have you made?"

With a slight movement of his nose, Xiao Feng smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke blown by the wind, and suddenly felt a little nervous.

Duan Feng replied, "This is the seventh time. The first six times, although we attacked the city, we were all repelled by the other side!"

"Knocked back?"

Xiao Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, "I thought that I would charge the army with heavy cavalry before, but that Boyan was nothing more than that." I didn't expect him to have such a skill? Tell me, how did he do it?"

"Lord Qi. Na Boyan hid all his soldiers and horses in the mountains, and also used the bricks, gravel and wood in Jingchuan City to dig dozens of trenches in the city. The trenches were linked to each other and deep into the mountains. If there is a possibility that Jingchuan will fall, the army in the mountains will rush up and drive us out. Although we are mobilizing heavy troops, in this case, we are also useless!"

Duan Feng was a little nervous, and after peeking at Xiao Feng, he saw that he didn't care before he continued.

"Trenches? I didn't expect that guy to get the tactics we used in Taiyuan City in the past?"

Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was secretly impressed in his heart, thinking: "It seems that the person who can leave a name in history is not an ordinary person, and he actually came up with a way to crack it so quickly?"

When the cavalry was eliminated, with the birth of firearms, things called trenches began to be widely used.

The first battle example was used by Xiao Feng when he was in Taiyuan City, and he successfully stopped Shi Tianze for more than two years, until finally because of serious food consumption, he had to retreat from the city and give it to the other party.

Duan Feng replied helplessly: "That's right. It is precisely because of this that we have never been able to take Jingchuan!"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that if we don't have three or five years, we won't be able to take it?" Xiao Feng frowned and opened his mouth to complain.

This place is different from Qingyang Mansion, Baoan Prefecture and even Yan'an Mansion, those places are open and endless, and it is completely possible to use troops to directly cut off the other party's food supply, and then surround it to force it down, but the terrain around this Jingchuan is rugged and bumpy, all of which are mountains, and there is only one road in the middle for action, which is a natural pass, and now it is locked by Na Boyan with trenches, and it is really difficult to break through the past.

Although Duan Feng wanted to deny it, thinking of the situation after that, he had no choice but to nod and replied: "If there is no change in the other party's rear, I'm afraid we can only maintain this state." ”

"There's no other way?"

Xiao Feng's heart tightened, and she suddenly felt annoyed: "I didn't expect it to develop into a situation that I didn't want to be?" Before launching a surprise attack, she had the intention of quickly solving the other party, so as to reduce the burden on the people under her rule.

Unexpectedly, Mongolia turned all the way in, and always maintained the main force undamaged, and now it is even more attrition with the Red Phoenix Army.

This made Xiao Feng quite unhappy.

Duan Feng shook his head and replied, "Unless the other party is short of food, or there is internal turmoil that causes the other party to retreat, Vaughn don't want to attack this city." Speaking of this, his mind lit up, and he said: "But I think if Yuan Ye can go deep into the enemy camp and completely disturb the other party's interior, he may be able to open a crack for us!"

"In this case, then we can only expect Yuan Ye to perform in the rear of the other party?" Xiao Feng muttered to himself with a sad face.

This kind of situation out of her control really makes her feel a lot more uncomfortable, and the slightest variable will lead to the loss of the entire plan, which is really disgusting.

Duan Feng responded: "That's right!"

"Let's go back. ”

The smoke dissipated in the distance, and the Jingchuan River regained its tranquility.

Xiao Feng didn't have the heart to stay here, so he turned around and prepared to go back.

But at this moment, there was a "boom" in the sky, and the thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, making people can't help but raise their heads, only to see that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like the mountain rain was coming.

"It's going to rain?"

Duan Feng's brows furrowed slightly, and when he saw that the battle was still going on in the distance, he immediately felt a little nervous.

If there is any problem with firearms, it is that once they are immersed in water, their effectiveness will drop sharply, so the Red Phoenix Army, which uses firearms as weapons, rarely fights in rainy days.

"Retreat. After all, it's raining, and it's still freezing, and if it gets wet, it's not good. Xiao Feng opened his mouth and commanded.

After Duan Feng heard this, he immediately ordered the troops in the distance, telling them to leave the Jingchuan position quickly, and not to wait for a long time. Soon, the soldiers who had previously invaded Jingchuan followed the order and rushed towards the barracks, and those soldiers were also busy laying all kinds of munitions with rainproof cloths and moving them into the military tents, so as not to wet these firearms by the torrential rain and cause the army's combat effectiveness to be reduced.

Looking at the busy soldiers around him, Xiao Feng didn't have any intention of going to work, so he just stood in the empty open space.

"The weather is unpredictable. ”

She raised her head and looked at the already cloudy sky, which had been clear before, who would have expected it to be like this in a blink of an eye, and it was really unclear why this storm came.

"Boom!"

There was another thunderclap, "crackling", and countless raindrops seemed to be poured down directly, directly towards the hard earth.

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and before he could turn on the body protection qi, a drop had already fallen on his cheeks, cold and cold, melted down his cheeks, and finally fell into the dust, splashing some dust.

"It's raining, it's so cold!"

Feeling a little cold on his cheeks, Xiao Feng's eyebrows tightened.

The weather in this era is always a little strange, for example, when she first got into trouble, there was a heavy snowfall in Lin'an, you must know that it is Lin'an, located in the south.

After the Chifeng Army entered Chang'an, it even asked local officials to record the local climate change, and compared it with the data of the county chronicles in the past, and found that in recent years, many droughts and floods have occurred frequently, which is more and more ferocious each time.

If it weren't for the fact that every time the Red Phoenix Army did its best, and even sent his troops to the scene to help the disaster, and established his reputation for caring for his people, I am afraid that the rule of the Red Phoenix Army would be completely finished.

In this era, the climate will always be linked to the so-called destiny of man, and if there are traitors behind the scenes, the whole country will be completely finished.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng's heart tightened again, and he hurriedly found Duan Feng.

Duan Feng was puzzled and asked, "Lord, what are you looking for me?"

"Leave the affairs of the army to someone else, you immediately notify Chang'an City, let Xiao Jingmao and them rush to work overnight, and be sure to make enough winter clothes before winter comes, you know?" Xiao Feng commanded with a serious face.

Duan Feng was puzzled and asked, "I know about this matter." But my lord, may you ask me why I did this?"

"Alas. Have you ever noticed anything strange about this rain?" Xiao Feng asked, pointing to the heavy rain outside the tent.

Duan Feng realized this and complained, "It's more violent than usual, and it's colder?" Before he accidentally got drenched in the heavy rain, the smell really made people feel like they had been thrown into an ice lake, and the whole person was unconscious.

"That's right. So I think this winter, I'm afraid that the weather will be colder than usual. Xiao Feng complained. "Boom!"

There was another thunderclap, "crackling", and countless raindrops seemed to be poured down directly, directly towards the hard earth.

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and before he could turn on the body protection qi, a drop had already fallen on his cheeks, cold and cold, melted down his cheeks, and finally fell into the dust, splashing some dust.
