Chapter 55: Unfathomable profundity, siege and capture the city

The sound became less and less, the fire became smaller, and the slaughter had ended.

Bai Zhanyun stood in the middle of the field, looking at everything around him - all of this was something he didn't want to see, but it was something he couldn't change.

Fu Xing and the others were already standing beside him, but he didn't know that at this time, his soul no longer seemed to belong to his body.

Fu Xing's face was a little heavy, and he said, "Brother Bai, we haven't found those three people from the Central Plains. ”

Bai Zhanyun, who was distracted, was startled, his eyes stared at Fu Xing, and asked word by word, "Have you all looked for it?"

Fu Xing was shocked by his eyes, and he forgot to answer.

Qiu Zhizi said: "I have looked for them all, and I promise not to let go of even the mouse hole, but these three people seem to have grown wings and flew away." ”

Bai Zhanyun was gloomy, he didn't know what to think in his heart, and suddenly sighed: "Collect the troops." ”

When he said these three words, he took a heavy step and walked ahead.

Everyone was stunned, and they looked at Bai Zhanyun's back in the moonlight, and they looked a little lonely.

The whole city celebrated, but Bai Zhanyun was preoccupied, he was also drinking, and he was smiling, but the worry in his heart, helplessness, was unknown to anyone, and he would never let anyone see it.

Hurry up and report eight hundred miles, and this battle will naturally spread to the capital and the palace soon.

The messenger held the battle report in his hand, quickly rushed into the imperial city, and said loudly: "Good news from the south, good news from the south, 7,000 soldiers defending the city of our army defeated the enemy army......"

Soon, he entered the imperial city and knelt before the emperor.

In the palace, hundreds of civil and military officials stand in the court, which is usually quiet and solemn, but at this time it is talking about each other.

I only heard the emperor say in a loud voice: "Who is this Bai Zhanyun?"

But no one could answer him.

Emperor Daxiao continued: "This is the first victory in the battle since the barbarian invasion, and I will pass on my will, and ...... immediately."

Before he finished speaking, someone stepped forward and said, "Holy Lord, this person's origin is unknown, and everything needs to be verified before making a decision." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, this matter will be handled by Liang Qing's family, and 30,000 troops will be ordered to support the southern capital." ”

30,000 imperial court reinforcements have arrived in the city, and along with the 30,000 soldiers came the disciples of Yunhuomen and Xiaoyaomen, this time not only Yang Zhixin and Zhu Fangyu, but also seven or eight people in Taoist robes.

30,000 soldiers and horses arrived at the city, and the first one was tall and large, seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face with a national character, a beard like iron, holding a sign in his hand, and said loudly to the city: "The last general is ordered to lead troops to support." ”

The city gate opened, the soldiers entered the city, and many people in the city were greeting them, and Bai Zhanyun was naturally among them.

Yang Zhixin and Zhu Fangyu took more than a dozen people, stepped forward and bowed to Bai Zhanyun and said, "The disciple was ordered by the master to lead the disciples in the sect to help the uncle. ”

Bai Zhanyun smiled: "Okay, good, it's good to come." ”

"Amitabha, I don't want the two senior brothers to be one step ahead of the poor monks. When everyone looked around, they could see a white-robed monk with his hands folded on his chest and a kind face walking towards this side, it was Xuankong. Behind him, followed by seventeen or eighteen monks.

When everyone turned around, he was saluting Bai Zhanyun and said, "Disciple see Senior Uncle." ”

That night, the rest of the Sword Flower Court and the Sword Sect also arrived, and Wu Yanfang of the Sword Flower Court brought the inseparable Seven Lady of the Sword Flower Court, and the Sword Sect Wang Mingxin also brought nine people.

Bai Zhanyun knew that these people were immortal geniuses, rare masters, and with these people, he felt a lot more relieved.

Now, the military power in the city is in the hands of the general who guards the city, but at this time, he looked at Bai Zhanyun and asked, "What is Bai Shaoxia's plan next?"

The iron-bearded general was stunned and cast a pair of eyes on him, but no one cared about his actions.

Bai Zhanyun pondered: "Since the Holy Lord has sent troops to reinforce, presumably the other party is also making preparations, and now there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, so we can't fight hard. ”

The general who defended the city said: "The last general has this intention. ”

Yang Zhixin said: "According to Uncle Shi, how about I?"

Bai Zhanyun said: "At this moment, the morale of our army is greatly boosted, it is a great opportunity to recapture the city in one fell swoop, how can the soldiers be tired, it is still difficult to defend the city, and it is even more difficult to attack the city." ”

Qiu Zhizi said: "Do you want to give up this great opportunity?"

Bai Zhanyun smiled: "Of course not, please take a look." As he spoke, he pointed to the map, and continued: "There are more than 10,000 enemy troops in this city, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if you take it down, you can take the horns of each other with the city, and you can drive straight into it, and take the main army of the barbarians, and on it, you can choke the main line of the barbarian attack." ”

The bearded general said: "How is this feasible, if our army attacks this city, and the cities on both sides send troops to reinforce it, won't there be no return?" As he spoke, he pointed to a city on the right side of the city that Bai Zhanyun had just pointed to, and said, "This city is only five thousand guards, isn't it easy to take it down?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Zhanyun, full of disdain.

When everyone heard his words, they all felt reasonable, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes." ”

Bai Zhanyun said with a smile: "General Fang's words are true, it is indeed easy to take this city, but what about after taking this city? Is it difficult to wait for the two cities on the left and right to surround it, and then take it back? Our army can easily take this city, and the enemy army will naturally be able to easily recapture it." At that time, we can only watch, and we cannot rescue. ”

The bearded man was stunned: "This ......"

Bai Zhanyun continued: "Take this city, retreat can be defended, advance can be attacked, and it can also pose a threat to the enemy cities on both sides." ”

As soon as Bai Zhanyun said this, everyone nodded again and again.

The bearded man said: "Even if you are right, but it is not easy to take this city, our army will not have many soldiers, and then rashly attack the city, and the enemy troops on both sides will surround it, isn't it a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

Bai Zhanyun said with a smile: "I promise that I will not hurt a single soldier, and I can take this city, and the enemy troops in the cities on both sides will never appear." ”

The general who guarded the city stroked his palm and said, "It couldn't be better than this." ”

Bai Zhanyun said: "But the army needs to be dispatched. ”

The general guarding the city said: "This is natural, as long as Bai Shaoxia can recapture this city, everything is up to Bai Shaoxia." ”

Fu Xing said with a smile: "That's natural, Brother Bai's ability, General Chen, you have also seen it." ”

Qiu Zhizi said with a smile: "This matter is left to him, it is feasible, no one can do it better than him." ”

The bearded general said angrily: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense, the two armies are fighting, how can you let your juniors be so nonsense." He was so angry that his hair was open.

Yang Zhixin said lightly: "When Uncle Shi takes down this city, it's not too late for you to say more." ”

Qiu Zhizi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Bai Zhanyun said: "In this way, let's go back and rest, pass the order, bury the pot in the second watch, and assemble the whole army in the third watch." ”

Saying that, he actually walked out, and Qiu Zhizi and the others all retreated.

The bearded general looked at the departing people, his body trembled with anger, his face was distorted, and he said to the general defending the city: "The general has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, how can he also follow this ignorant offspring to mess around?"

The general who defended the city said with a smile: "Brother Fang, don't be angry, you haven't seen this kid's ability, and General Ben can't help but admire." His eyes were full of appreciation.

General Fang was puzzled: "The general actually appreciates this kid so much?"

The general who guarded the city smiled: "After the fifth watch, you will be able to know how powerful he is." ”

The third watch arrived soon, everyone had already assembled, but Baizhan did not appear, at this time he was standing at the other end of the city wall, and in front of him, there were thirty or forty people, these people were monks and Taoists, men and women, Bai Zhanyun looked at these people: "Do you all understand?"

Everyone said in unison: "Disciple understands. ”

Bai Zhanyun nodded and said, "So, go ahead." ”

The people saluted, and then went away with their swords.

Looking at the departing people, Qiu Zhizi said with a smile: "Brother Bai is really clever, if the poor Dao is a woman, he will definitely marry you." ”

Bai Zhanyun was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Why is the Taoist chief joking with it?"

Here, the army was assembled, ready to go, waiting for a teenager, but this teenager did not appear.

General Fang said: "Why hasn't this kid come yet, isn't he afraid?"

Fu Xing sneered: "My big brother Bai will be afraid, it's just a joke." ”

At this time, Bai Zhanyun and Qiu Zhizi came, and the two were talking and laughing in the moonlight.

As soon as Bai Zhanyun came over, he stopped smiling, he was very serious.

The general guarding the city looked at Bai Zhanyun and saw that there was only Qiu Zhizi behind him, and he was puzzled: "Why didn't Bai Shaoxia's nephews go with Bai Shaoxia?"

Bai Zhanyun said: "I have already let them do things." As he spoke, he said aloud to the army: "The generals will listen to the order." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the spirits came, and they all looked at Bai Zhanyun, their blood was already boiling.

Bai Zhanyun said: "Fang Zhongsheng, leading thirty soldiers, eighty horses, rushed to Hongyankou before the fourth watch, with branches tied to the horse's tail, running back and forth around Qingxia City, and retreating on the fifth watch. ”

A soldier stepped forward, his face full of puzzlement, but he still said: "The last general obeys orders." ”

Bai Zhanyun said: "Zhang Sheng, lead three hundred soldiers, rushed to Tangxunchong before the fourth watch, set fire to the forest, three hundred people shouted in unison, and the fifth watch retreated. ”

One of them stepped forward and said, "The last general will obey." ”

Bai Zhanyun continued: "Hu Xianyun, 5,000 troops, attack Qi Yuncheng, remember not to take it, and retreat after half an hour of siege." ”

One man stepped forward and said, "The last general will be ordered." ”

Everyone was puzzled, this Qi Yuncheng was the city that General Fang said he was going to attack, Bai Zhanyun didn't attack last night, but at this time, he ordered troops to attack the city, but he couldn't capture it yet, what does this mean?

Bai Zhanyun continued: "General Chen and General Fang ordered 3,000 troops and followed me to Bian Yuan City. ”

Bian Yuan City is the city that Bai Zhanyun wants to capture, but at this time, he only ordered 3,000 troops to deal with the enemy's 10,000 soldiers, isn't this sent to death? Everyone was confused by him, and for a while they didn't know what to do, and even General Chen didn't know whether he was right or wrong when he heard Bai Zhanyun.

Bai Zhanyun said: "If there is no objection, set off at this moment, and the rest of the people will defend Xiahuan City to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp." "Xiahuan City is the city where Bai Zhanyun and the others are at this time.

The three thousand soldiers soon arrived at the foot of Bian Yuan City, and in the faint moonlight, they could see the shining weapons and the black crowd......

Looking at the high city wall, everyone was full of doubts, but no one asked a word.

Bai Zhanyun suddenly turned over and dismounted, and said, "Pass the order, set up camp, and rest in place." ”

One by one, they were even more stunned, and the general couldn't bear it anymore, turned over and dismounted, and rushed towards Bai Zhanyun angrily.
