The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 316
Zhong Limei, who was attacking the city, was still commanding loudly, and he was even more of a leader, standing under the head of the city, commanding the soldiers behind to climb the ladder quickly.

"quick!"

Whoosh whoosh!
The arrows above were still being shot down, and not far away, a soldier of the Lie Nation who was running was hit by an arrow and fell down.

The rolling log fell down, and the soldiers on the ladder screamed and fell down. Below, there was already a pile of soldier corpses, and the soldiers behind continued to climb the ladder.

boom!
Catapults coming from a distance hit the city wall above, and sand and dust continued to fall, filling their ears with screams and fighting.

It was at this time that the fast horse from a distance rushed into the battlefield and came to the army behind. After a glance, he didn't see the commander.

"Where is the commander in chief!"

The scout's face was full of anxiety.

A school lieutenant at the back said, "The commander-in-chief will go into battle in person."

"Oh, I should stop the commander. It's over. I need to report important military information. How can I go to the battlefield to find the commander now?"

"what happened?"

"Xinguo has sent troops, and they are rushing towards us. The speed is very fast, and it is expected to arrive here in more than an hour. We can't fight any more, we must withdraw."

"what?!"

The school lieutenant and the rest of the soldiers behind were shocked.

"Quick! Get close to the battlefield and find the commander! Quick!"

The captain is also in a hurry.

"The battlefield is too big, and it's troublesome to find a commander. Just ask for money and withdraw the troops!"

"However, without the commander-in-chief's order, if you withdraw your troops now, you will be beheaded if you blame him later."

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment. Now that some of his own soldiers have already attacked the city, it is now the aftermath of the anxiety. As long as the most important thing is to hold on, the city can be broken. If Ming Jin withdraws his troops at this time, Then the previous fierce battle was in vain, and the soldiers died in vain.

"It's too late! The new national railway is coming up on horseback. If we don't withdraw our troops, as long as we are surrounded by the opponent, we will be finished. Let alone the city, our lives will be lost. Withdraw our troops!"

The captain took a deep breath: "Okay."

Not long after, Ming Jin's voice of withdrawing his troops rang out.

The soldiers of the Lie Nation on the field were all taken aback, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops?
But as soon as this voice sounded, the soldiers of the Lieguo State all retreated, and some generals still had angry looks on their faces.

"Who ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops?"

There was also anger on Zhong Limei's face. He turned his head and looked up. The gap in the city wall on this side has been opened, and the opponent's defense force is insufficient. Just one more attack, the city can be breached.

Now he really wanted to kill the captain with one knife. At such a critical moment, he actually retreated?
This is also the disadvantage when the commander is a fierce general, because this kind of commander wants to take the lead, but in many cases, the commander needs to sit in the army and plan strategies, and some key decisions must be made.

In a situation like this, there are two options. One is to speed up the attack and directly knock down the city, and the second is to withdraw the troops. Unfortunately, there is only one option left after Ming Jin withdraws.

"withdraw."

Zhong Limei withdrew his troops with a sullen face, and the soldiers of the Feng Kingdom on the top of the city heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the soldiers of the Lie Kingdom who were about to capture the city recede like a tide.

Zhong Lizhen returned to the rear and was about to question the crime. The scout on the side quickly said: "Commander, there are more than ten thousand people of the Xinguo cavalry, and they are rushing towards the direction of Fengguo."

Zhong Limei's face darkened: "Xinguo sent troops?"

"That's right, probably less than an hour from now."

Zhong Limei's expression changed. He looked at the soldiers around him. The losses were a bit heavy. More than 5000 soldiers were lost in the siege battle. Now the troops are not enough, and besides, these soldiers have lost their energy because of the siege. Some soldiers were also injured. In this state, it will be uncomfortable to meet the cavalry of the new country again.

"Where's our reinforcements to the east?"

"I have contacted you before, and it is estimated that I will arrive around the same time."

Zhong Limei was about to give an order, when suddenly, another fast horse came not far away, and the scout got off the horse quickly.

"Commander, I found a group of Xinguo troops to the south, and they are heading east, which coincides with the route of the second army of our country. It seems that they are going to intercept my second army."

Zhong Limei's expression changed. At this moment, he understood the purpose of Xinguo, as if every step of his Lieguo had been calculated by the other party.

"Since that's the case, withdraw the army, all the soldiers in the city, and retreat eastward with me, join the second army, and directly make dumplings for the opponent's army."

"Yes!"

The Lieguo army outside the city will soon be marching eastward. At present, the total number of troops is about [-] soldiers.

On the other side, Tian Dan led the army into the territory of Feng Nation, only to see that the city was still empty, and there were no Lie Nation troops around, and there were no Lie Nation soldiers near the imperial capital except for corpses.

"Tell the scouts to check around."

Not long after, the probing scouts returned.

"General, the other party has withdrawn their troops, and they should withdraw to the east."

Tian Dan frowned: "To the east, General Bai is intercepting the enemy's reinforcements in the east, so General Bai will be flanked? Hurry up and follow me to support."

At the same time, on the plain, the low hills on both sides swelled, and the Baiqi army walked along the road. Not long after, scouts from the army came.

"Commander, it was detected that there is an army coming towards our army in the west."

"west?"

Bai Qi's heart moved: "It should be that General Tian has arrived in Feng Nation, and the Lie Nation army that attacked Feng Nation withdrew and wanted to besiege me. Send an order to retreat the same way."

Bai Qi immediately changed his marching route. When he reached the south, he changed his route again and headed straight for Feng Kingdom.

The armies of the two countries were so staggered.

Zhong Limei marched very fast, and it didn't take long before he saw the Lie Nation's army waving pennants in front of him. As soon as the two sides converged, they learned that they had not encountered the Xin Nation's army.

At the same time, Tian Dan led his men and horses towards the east, but encountered Bai Qi's army on the way.

Tian Dan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two of them had deployed many scouts along the way to catch up on each other's movements in time. This time it was an information war.

"Go back to Feng Nation, Lie Nation will attack soon, take advantage of this time, first defeat Feng Nation."

The two armies returned to Feng Kingdom and immediately launched a siege on Feng Kingdom's last city.

Under Zhong Limei's previous strong attack, Mo County was already struggling to support itself, and now it was facing an even stronger attack, and the city's defense points dropped very quickly.

Coupled with the two powerful generals Meng Ben and Hu Che'er, it didn't take long for Mo County to be breached, Feng Nation to be completely destroyed, and the entire territory of Feng Nation was directly incorporated into the territory of Xin Nation.

The rest of the cities were quickly taken over by Xinguo, and then Bai Qi quickly deployed heavy troops in the west and north of Fengguo. Several cities were guarded by soldiers, ready to face the battle.

　The war part is over.
