The tenacious will of the soldiers to resist was far beyond the expectations of the besieging generals, more than half of the 180,000 troops were killed and wounded in the siege of the city, and the two earthen cities were still standing in the prairie, and the phoenix flags fluttering on the city tower were laughing at the enemy's incompetence all the time.

The messenger for help went and there was no news, neither the reinforcements arrived, nor did he get the information about Qinghui, but the desert military station came from time to time to be attacked by horse bandits, and gradually even the prince of Duanna saw that there was an elite squad of cadets lurking on the mercenary transportation line, blocking the transmission of military information, and disturbing the transfer of materials, and the losses caused were no less than those of a team of 10,000 people killed in battle, and its harm would continue to be highlighted over time.

A team of 1,000 men left the camp in a hurry and returned to the Sunset Frontier Fortress day and night in the desert, but only to escort the wounded Wu Zong, so that the letter with the Great Seal of Prince Duanna could be handed over to the defending generals in person.

"Please return to the prince with Lord Wuzong, and I will immediately send troops to take over the defense of the military station, so that the mercenaries stationed there can rush to reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Prince Duanna was deeply favored by the king, although he had no right to command the border defenders, but he sent people from all over to help a little, which did not have much impact on the border defense, but could give the future opportunity to make friends, why not the defending generals.

"General, the student soldiers wandering in the desert, please also send elite soldiers to encircle and suppress, the military information cannot be transmitted smoothly, and it is very harmful to the front. ”

The two of them besieged and died, so that Hu Li cut off his left arm with a knife, Wu Zong lost the arrogance of the past, and the remaining years were destined not to have the same wanton enjoyment as before, in the face of a high-powered commander of the army, his respectful demeanor was more like humility.

"Lord Wuzong wants to come clearly, hehe, the horse bandits in the grassland and desert have a lot of backgrounds, and the soldiers are mixed in it, and it is not easy to clean it up, so I'll do my best." The general of the defending army did not accept the thankless drudgery, and seeing that Wuzong was a little disappointed, he hurriedly sent him a favor: "The lack of salt in the army is a big deal, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, so I will take people to stop for a while, and I will collect all the salt stored by the merchants in each city, and send troops to escort the adults to the front, so as to relieve the difficulties of the army for a while." ”

During the decades of peace, most of the generals who commanded the army had not undergone the baptism of large-scale war, and they were contaminated with many official hypocrisy and the habit of perverting the law for bribes. It is said that it is to alleviate the difficulty of the army's lack of salt, and how much of the salt collected from the merchants can be delivered to the army, a confused account that can never be calculated. During the war years, officers at all levels, large and small, who did not have a bulging pocket, and even Yue Fei, a famous general in another world, only said that "civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death", so they can purge officials and rule the world peacefully. Thinking deeply, you can't blame the military attache for being greedy for money, the two armies have no eyes in front of the battle and die in an instant, who doesn't want to leave more money for their wives and children before their deaths, it is because of the corruption of the generals in the war in the past dynasties, the royal family has always turned a blind eye. Clever is no more than the emperor, the officer died in battle, the money did not enter the treasury in the end, survived, and naturally did not talk too much about the thickness of the reward, eat the profits, and fight more enthusiastically in the future, but in the end it is inevitable that it will be too inflated to climb to a high place, and as a result, the king is ruthless, and the enemy country will die, and several dynasties can get rid of this cycle of retribution.

The 20,000 mercenaries stationed in the desert rushed to the grassland, so that the lost troops and the loss of the army Kantar recovered a little, and the plight of the lack of salt was temporarily alleviated. Prince Duanna was eager to make contributions, and jumped up when he heard the retreat, wouldn't that admit that the attack failed, and when the spring attack again, the royal city might not send someone to command, and the lost soldiers would pinch the students, but let others receive the merits of the war when the time came, and Duanna kicked the wine table away.

"Order: After each battalion breaks the city, the spoils of war shall be returned to themselves, and the thousand-man team that enters the city first shall be rewarded with 100,000 beautiful female slaves, and the commoners will be rewarded with knighthoods, and the slaves shall be given freedom. Kill those who disobey orders! Kill those who retreat! Kill those who delay effectively!"

Controlling the command of the battalions to attack the city, Kantar knew in his heart that the commander was still the prince of Duanna, he was only a deputy general at best, and without the support of Duanna, the unruly commanders of the battalions would not obediently obey the order, so he deliberately spoke out to provoke Duanna, and a series of killing words were exported, forgiving the battalions and not daring to preserve their strength.

"Prince, there are dead and wounded in all battalions, and our department is still complete, please let the warriors go into battle and kill them. ”

"Who will command you if you die in battle? I want to have this ability, why should my father order you to assist!" Duan Na was angry but did not lose his mind, and scolded viciously: "If you can't break the city, no one wants to live a nourishing life, you stay behind and command, I will personally lead the military law team, those who dare to disobey the order, exterminate the clan!"

The unprecedented reward, the threat of killing and exterminating the clan, and the irascible character of Prince Duanna are well known to everyone, and he is angered, and the punishment will only be crueler than words.

The mercenaries besieging the city became crazy, and the wounded soldiers did not dare to take half a step back, crawling on the ground and moving forward, turning their heads and looking back, they would let the people behind them be killed. When several of the commanders whose subordinates were killed in battle asked for replenishment, Duan Na once again raised his butcher's knife: All his subordinates died in battle, why are you still alive?

The attacking and defending sides of the northern city are like wild beasts biting, and the battle situation in the southern city is even less optimistic.

Qiu Xingchen battalion was sent out with another task, and nearly 4,000 people were killed in the previous battle, and one of the three of the troops was the escort and surrender of the troops, in addition to the will to fight at the beginning, there was no obvious gap with the combat power of the students, and when the offensive and defensive battles entered the intersection of short soldiers, the phenomenon of pretending to be sick before the war, pretending to be dead on the battlefield, and fleeing for their lives after the war appeared one after another, Hua Zifei did not dare to let him go to the city with a complete standard team, for fear of ruining the city defense before the battle.

The casualties of the witch soldiers continued to increase, and finally the agreement of the major empires was put behind them, and the infectious poison gas package was thrown into the city, and the wounded soldiers of the legion increased sharply.

"It's on fire—"

"There's a spy—"

"The city is broken—"

In the middle of the night, more than a dozen places in the city were on fire, and there were chaotic shouts from the grain depot, armory, and wounded barracks, Hua Zifei woke up from meditation, grabbed the spear next to the bed, and when he was about to get up, he put it down, lay on his back on the bed, pulled up the quilt and pretended to sleep.

"Legion Commander, Legion Commander-" The Patrol Commander of the Guards led people in, and seeing that Hua Zifei seemed to have just woken up, he nervously reported: "There is a sneak attack by the enemy, we will protect you and transfer." Hua Zifei lay on the bed and didn't move, and threw over two sentences: "Go back to sleep, don't leave the camp." After saying that, he turned around and fell asleep, and the strange order made the guard inspector scratch his head, and the corps commander seemed to be very sober when he spoke, and out of trust, he waved his hand and led people out of the inner tent, and ordered the reckless to be dealt with by military law.

The tent of the Chinese army remained silent, and the soldiers of each battalion were reassured, and the soldiers who ran out of the tent walked back to the tent under the strict orders of the officers, and their panicked mood gradually calmed down. The fire was quickly extinguished by the defenders everywhere, and the spies who were hiding in the shadows and shouting and screaming died one by one under the knives and guns of the patrol, and the fire shouting of a dozen people did not cause a riot in the camp, and the northern city returned to the tranquility of the night, and at the head of the city, in the camp, and in the various warehouses, there was only the neat footsteps of the patrol.

In the morning, Hua Zifei solved the mystery for the surprised officers.

"The city gate is silent, which means that the mercenaries have not attacked the city in a big way, how many spies can be hidden in the city? Hehe, I just want to make the battalions chaotic, it is dark and we can't distinguish people, let us kill each other, so as to take the opportunity to attack the city, and the city will soon be silent, the witch soldiers can't afford to risk attacking the city in the night, if they are not careful, they will blow up the camp. ”

Hua Zifei's defense deployed in the southern city was tight and seamless, the commander of the witch soldiers had nothing to do, and even the poison that relied on the surprise victory did not play its due role, seeing that the northern city was about to be broken, he also gave a death order with a ruthless heart, since there was no other good plan, then the flesh and blood collided, and the most barbaric side of the war was presented - the tactics of the sea of people, using the flesh and blood of the soldiers to fill the trenches, using the bones to build the ladder to the city, and using the advantage of troops to offset the defensive facilities of the defenders.

Kantar surrounded three missing one, deliberately withdrew the troops to attack the south gate, so that the students could easily abandon the city and flee south, Prince Duanna thought that he wanted to take advantage of the students to cross the river to attack, it was really a good general's strategy, and then the advantages of the cavalry could be fully exerted, there was no strong city fortress, the fleeing students were not the opponents of the sunset iron cavalry, if you want not to die under the bow and knife, in addition to surrendering, only jump into the river, the cold day and the moon, want to swim from the Qinghe River to the south of the city, it is tantamount to suicide.

"The student soldier surrendered, the wine hasn't woken up yet, why wait until today to surrender, both sides are red-eyed, who dares to spit out the word surrender, without the military justice team, will immediately let his companions be cut into pulp. "Kantar gathered his cronies in the tent, so that when the time came, lest anyone be hot-headed and die in vain.

"The soldiers abandoned the city and fled south in the past few days, and at that time, the teams were not allowed to enter the city for half a step, let alone pursue without authorization. "The cronies and generals don't know why, but no one asked out loud, they all agreed, and they will act according to the order, this is the essential difference between the elite generals and the mediocre soldiers, trust and even rely on their own commanders, resolutely and unconditionally carry out the order, and the scene of repeatedly questioning the military orders of the chief general will only appear in the army that does not enter the stream, how can such a general talk about the ability to command.

"I know you don't understand, alas—" Kantar sighed, and picked up his glass and motioned to the generals to be casual, the army was drinking, and he was just making a show, grabbing the colonels to roast meat, and no one touched the wine bowl on the table.

"The combat power of the apprentices is far beyond expectations, to put it mildly, let me change positions with Hu Li, I will not defend it today, and the city will have been broken a long time ago. "No one questioned Kantal's words, the strength of the resistance of the cadets has long made the mercenaries feel cold, especially until the war, there is no sign of decline, and the morale is becoming more and more courageous, and the officers with a little brains do not expect to force the enemy to surrender, regardless of the factor of Dugu Ying, it is impossible to surrender, otherwise the enemy captain will never swear to defend the city with a suicide attack.

Kantar made an exception and explained in detail the reason for the deployment before the battle: "The water army on the Qing River, we and the witch soldiers are helpless, the elite cavalry pursues, he does not fight with you, he hides in the river and the bow and crossbow can't reach, and suddenly appears in front of the army with a slight negligence, and shoots how many elite soldiers and fierce generals are shot like a rain of arrows." After thousands of calculations, who would have thought that the navy that no one cared about at the beginning would become a big trouble, so that the total annihilation of the students can only be regarded as a joke. ”

"You probably don't know, the attack on us by the navy is just a trivial matter, in the south of the city, the pontoon bridge of the witch soldiers has never been intact for three days, and the water army has been burned down again and again, and the loss of witch soldiers is countless, and what is more terrible is that not only this water army is making trouble, there are more elite students hidden in the forest, the witch soldiers want to build a ship to fight, and finally turned into a bubble, and the encirclement and suppression elite soldiers sent have suffered heavy casualties, so far even the enemy has not figured out how many people there are, the only harvest is to find out that there are ancient villages in the mountains and forests, Baji is guarded with elite soldiers, the ordnance and food reserves are sufficient, and the students have long been arranged to retreat。 The cavalry in the mountains and forests is not useful at all, the witch soldiers are good at it, but they will not be stupid to fight to the death with the soldiers alone, the day the soldiers abandon the city into the forest, in fact, it is when we are defeated, there is no direct threat from the soldiers, the witch soldiers and we are definitely friends and enemies, and the soldiers are eyeing each other in the mountains and forests, once the two armies have a conflict, it is not impossible to find the gap to break through. ”

Kantar smiled bitterly and drank the wine in the cup, if he is really the commander of the mercenaries, he has the power of life and death, but there is a way to break the deadlock, but unfortunately the commander of the three armies will be Duanna, do not interfere with the command when attacking the city, and so on after the city is broken, you can think of it with your toes, Kantal's military power must be withdrawn, at that time, with Duanna's talent, it will be useless to explain it again, he will never believe that the soldiers abandoned the city was premeditated, first relying on the fortified fortress to kill and injure a large number of enemies, and then leave the battlefield to sit and watch the witch soldiers and mercenaries infighting, the transportation lines of the two armies were heavily damaged, and there were no people who wanted to stick to the door for reinforcements, and they suffered heavy casualties to capture an empty city, and they were unable to defend for a long time, and they had to return to defense in a few days, the most dangerous time is when the army is withdrawn, the alliance is broken and the three countries are in a scuffle, and there is no need to say much about who wins and who loses in this war.

"I didn't make a big mistake in tactics, but in terms of strategy, whether it was a witch soldier or a mercenary, I was completely defeated in the hands of the Xuebing, I Kantar was convinced, the Xuebing strategy was vicious, and in the end, for the sake of interests and face, I am afraid that the Three Kingdoms had to admit that this grassland belonged to Yanning, a little girl who couldn't even have a name on the stage before. ”

"The messenger of the wolf god, hehe, it doesn't seem to be a clever trick, but it turns out to be a wonderful ending, and the people in power of the Three Kingdoms have to cooperate with her to act!"

Kantar said in the military tent that he was explaining to his cronies, and it was better to think that he was doing a reflection on strategic failure, and if he couldn't understand the layout of the student soldiers until now, he was not worthy of being called a good general, but unfortunately the general would never agree with him, and he had the heart to make up for it.

The battle was fierce during the day, the generals besieging the city were preparing for the next final battle, no one expected, when the night shrouded the grassland, the students of the north city quietly opened the city gate, on the water surface of the Qing River, the head and tail of the warships were connected into a pontoon bridge, and the remaining defenders retreated to the south bank of the Qing River, but did not enter the south city, directly hidden in the mountains and forests, and the defenders of the south city to cover the retreat, followed by the tailgating, on both sides of the Qing River, leaving only two empty cities that stained the walls red with blood.

Every student soldier is holding back tears, holding the cry in his chest, and even the war horse turns his head to look at Tucheng from time to time, where there are too many partners whose bones are not cold, and the heart of the student soldier is turning over and over is the oath of the county lord.

"I swear with the honor of Qinghui Royal that within seven days, I will bring you back to kill, and from then on, the north and south cities will forever remember the glory of the soldiers. ”
