After two hours of fierce fighting, the cavalry of the Tang Army repeatedly chiseled through the Tianhai Qianjun three times, but still could not defeat the Tianhai Qianjun, at this time the horsepower was basically exhausted, and the Tang cavalry finally could not attack, so they had to return to the army to rest.

Tian Hai hurriedly gathered the remnants of the front army, took the initiative to withdraw from the first camp, and set fire to the camp.

In today's battle, the 73,000 soldiers of the former army of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom lost more than 30,000, and the cavalry of the Tang Army also lost more than 9,000 people.

The defeat of the White Lotus Army today was not due to the powerful cavalry charge of the Tang Army, but to the lack of supplies and equipment.

This former army is the most combat-effective unit under Tian Hai, it is Tian Hai's direct subordinate troops, and it has fought with Tian Hai for many years, although its combat effectiveness is slightly inferior to that of the Tang cavalry, but it is the strongest combat force in the White Lotus State.

It was such a strong army, but it could only be equipped with 15,000 war horses, armor and horse armor were incomplete, and 58,000 foot soldiers were even missing cotton clothes, and they went to the battlefield with broken weapons.

Encountering the well-equipped Tang cavalry of 30,000 people, only passively beaten, fortunately, the front army was composed of fanatical disciples of the White Lotus Sect, defeated but not defeated, fought to the death and did not retreat, and stubbornly entangled the Tang cavalry.

Tian Hai looked at the gradually retreating cavalry of the Tang Army, his mood was extremely heavy, there was his former robe, and he even knew the Tang Army better than many Tang Army generals.

This 30,000-strong Tang cavalry is only the vanguard of the Tang Army, and it can be equipped with cavalry, which shows that the total number of cavalry of the Tang Army should be no less than 250,000, and the infantry should be twice as large as the cavalry, that is, 500,000.

At this time, the Tang State should be fighting on the two fronts of the Western Regions and Mengyuan, how can such a strong army be deployed?

Tian Hai didn't dare to think deeply, what a big conspiracy this was!

The foreign countries and the three kingdoms of China reached an agreement at some point, and they actually joined forces to set up a big situation and waited for the Four Holy Kingdoms to jump in, and the Four Holy Countries jumped in very cooperatively.

This is a war to destroy the country, the foreign countries and the three kingdoms of China are ready to join forces to strangle the four holy countries, if they don't move, they will be thunderous, and this time the four holy countries may be more auspicious.

In addition, Tian Hai also found a strange thing, when the Tang army retreated, they took away the corpses of all their comrades, the battlefield situation is so complicated, and the physical strength is weakened after the war, why do they do this, in the past, they would send miscellaneous soldiers or baggage soldiers to tidy up the battlefield.

Then the baggage soldiers and handymen of the Tang army appeared, and they drove the completely sealed box carriages to spray black grease on the corpses on the battlefield, regardless of whether they were human or horse.

Soon the baggage soldiers ignited the black grease, and the corpses of the White Lotus Army, the dead horses on both sides, various vehicles, armor and banners on the battlefield were all burned.

Tian Hai was puzzled, it was November winter, these corpses left on the ground would soon be buried by heavy snow, and there would be no threat such as plague, according to the usual practice, they would be disposed of after the snow melted in the coming year, why did the Tang army have to work hard and do more.

Before Tian Hai could figure out the reason, his subordinates soon reported that the Ming army of 200,000 was advancing towards the camp from the southeast, as if they were going to attack the camp at night.

Tian Hai's expression did not change much, it was time for the Ming army to come, it seemed that he was right, the Four Holy Kingdoms had really fallen into the trap of the foreign countries and the Three Kingdoms of China.

Tian Hai calmly asked Liu Ping, "Has the messenger who warned Guisui already set off?"

"Yes, it was sent out early in the morning, and it should be able to be sent to Guisui in three days, if the imperial court can send the supplies as soon as possible, six hundred thousand against one million, we can still fight. ”

"Don't be too optimistic, Guisui is probably even more critical than us at this time!"

Liu Ping was also born in the army, so he naturally realized something: "The general is saying that Guisui may have been attacked by Meng Yuan at this time." ”

Tian Hai said: "It is estimated that it has already been surrounded by water, and the lord of the country is still waiting for our class teacher to rescue him!"

Liu Ping said hatefully: "The DPRK and China have always been stuck with money and grain and baggage and refused to distribute it, and we rely on the strength in our hands to resist the armies of the Tang and Ming dynasties, and we are still unable to catch it, so how can we have the spare strength to rescue Guisui." ”

Tian Hai said with a smile: "The lord of the country and the ministers of the court don't see it that way, if we don't go back to the court to save the driver, soon all kinds of gossip will surround the lord, and then the two of us will become traitors who support the army and respect ourselves." ”

Liu Ping was so angry that his hands trembled: "The Holy Kingdom must be destroyed on the bodies of these traitorous villains! I can't wait to slaughter these Wang Badan with my own hands and let them give their lives to the dead soldiers!"

Tian Hai patted Liu Ping on the shoulder and said: "Don't get excited, it's useless to be excited, let's see how the Tang army and the Ming army are going to attack us, let's resist this wave first, otherwise we will be defeated and die, and we will not be able to clear the king's side." ”

"What are we going to do now? ”

Tian Hai pondered for a while and said: "The art of war is cloudy, ten are to surround it, five are to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided."

Now the enemy is twice as large as us and can fight and attack, and we can only defend or retreat, so we can only adjust our tactics according to the opponent's tactics.

Retreat is definitely to retreat, the lord of the country is still waiting for us to rescue, but we can't retreat as a whole army, we can only retreat one by one, otherwise we will be attacked by the other party, the army will be defeated, and we will not be able to return to the sky. ”

Liu Ping thought of the scene of the rout of hundreds of thousands of troops, and couldn't help but shudder, there were no eggs under the nest.

Tian Hai continued: "Liu Ping, how many soldiers, horses, surplus grain, clothing, and equipment are still in the army, I want a detailed number. ”

"General, I'll go check it out, you wait. Liu Ping hurried away.

Tian Hai's face showed a trace of worry at this time: "Let's have a destiny for each other! No matter which side wins, I hope to open up to those innocent people." ”

......

The battle to defend the city of Guisui City has been carried out on the third day, and the Mengyuan army is very well prepared for this attack, and all kinds of siege equipment have arrived with the army, so the siege battle began from the first day.

The Meng Yuan army fought very resolutely, not hesitating the life and death of the soldiers, and attacked day and night, and the casualties on both sides were very large, as the attacker, the Meng Yuan army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the White Lotus army defending the city also suffered more than 7,000 casualties.

The Meng Yuan army climbed to the top of the city several times, but before it could gain a firm foothold, it was driven down by the White Lotus army, and the two sides have been tugging and seeking, and the battle situation is very stalemate.

Qi Cong, the lord of the White Lotus Kingdom, would go to the city every day to comfort the soldiers and boost morale, because he was also the Pope, so he could always give the White Lotus soldiers a lot of encouragement every time he appeared.

Qi Cong tried his best to remain calm in front of the congregation, with a holy light on his face, compassion in his eyes, and an impassioned tone, giving people a sense of reliability and confidence, which greatly encouraged the soldiers and the people.

But no one knew that he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep every night, and he washed his face with tears.

Qi Cong was very afraid of death, before he became the lord of the country, he was an arrogant and confident outlaw, and he never knew what life and death were, so he could show his charm that was different from ordinary people, convincing and worshipped, so that countless people wanted to follow him to do a great career and establish a perfect White Lotus Holy Kingdom.

But after sitting on the throne of the country, he suddenly changed from barefoot to shoeed, greedy, timid, indecisive, all negative emotions and human weaknesses suddenly exploded, Qi Cong has lost his previous dreams and pursuits, and gradually moved closer to a generation of faint monarchs.

But in this siege battle, Qi Cong once again returned to people's sight, showing fortitude, self-confidence and proximity to the people, the soldiers and civilians of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom seemed to see the pope at the time of entrepreneurship, and the memory in their hearts was awakened again, and their morale was also recovering rapidly.

With the help of the treacherous walls, a city with high morale is enough to resist the invasion of foreign enemies in a short time.

On the fourth day, the news came that Tian Hai's army was besieged by a million Tang and Ming coalition forces, and the situation was critical.

This news shattered the illusions of many courtiers in the court, and many people wept bitterly as if they were mourning, as if Guisui City had been breached.

Qi Cong calmed down, he had thought that there would be such an outcome, but now that the truth had been confirmed, he quickly reverted to the far-sighted Pope of the past, and began to arrange his various defensive arrangements in an orderly manner.

The materials that had not yet been handed over to the Ministry of War came in handy at this time, and all of them were requisitioned and distributed for the defense of the city and incentives, and the apologists were recruited among the citizens, and a large number of citizens enthusiastically joined the army.

After a brief training, these apologetics were sent to the head of the city to assist the Wangcheng army in defending the city, delaying the attrition rate of the regular army and forming a situation of attrition with the Mengyuan and Liao armies.

Gui Suicheng held out until the 15th, and the general Tian Hai actually led 220,000 troops to break through the obstruction of the Tang army and the Ming army and returned to Suicheng.

Under the surprise of the Meng Yuan army, Tian Hai led his troops to defeat the besieging troops and successfully retreated into the city, which greatly encouraged the defenders in the city.

When this army of 220,000 people entered the city, many people immediately fell to the ground, and after treatment, more than 4,000 people lost their lives forever.

In these fifteen days, under the condition of lack of food and grass, they withstood the onslaught of the Tang army during the day, resisted the attack of the Ming army at night, and retreated 600 miles in waves with 500,000 to 1 million troops, and successfully retreated back to Sui, which is like a miracle.

Tian Hai's feat undoubtedly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the return of 200,000 regular troops increased everyone's confidence in defending the city.

The armies of the four kingdoms of Mengyuan, Tang, Ming, and Liao also converged under the city of Guisui, and nearly two million troops besieged a city, which is also rare in the history of Dongshengzhou.

Tian Hai returned to Guisui City after a serious illness, recuperation for ten days before he could go to the ground, and when he boarded Guisui City, Guisui City had lost the outer city, the street fighting in the outer city had not ended, nearly thirty percent of the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed and wounded, and all of them were withdrawn into the inner city.

Qi Cong stood beside Tian Hai and asked, "Tian Aiqing, how long do you think Gui Suicheng can be defended?"

Tian Hai carefully observed for a long time before saying: "If there is no foreign aid, the lonely city will be trapped, and the city will be broken in three days at least and five days at most." ”

Qi Cong behaved very calmly: "Well, I know, I will not let the White Lotus Holy Kingdom be destroyed." ”

In the surprised eyes of Tian Hai and the others, Qi Cong left, as if he had made up his mind.

That night, Qi Cong closed the palace and closed the door without seeing anyone.

In the early morning of the third day, countless figures suddenly appeared in the outer city of Guisui, their speed was slow and their strength was infinite, and they directly broke through the city gate and killed the camp of the Jincheng army.

The battle lasted overnight, and the besieging army was forced to retreat thirty miles.

Just when the soldiers and civilians of Guisui wanted to celebrate, they found that the reinforcements in the outer city of Guisui were not soldiers from a certain country, but dense zombies, rotting corpses, dead corpses, skeletons, and even animal corpses.

One by one, they wander outside the city, and when they encounter dead creatures, they will rush up and eat them clean.
