Royal road

"What? Shangai sent troops?" Early in the morning, when he heard the scouts coming, Duan Mo's complexion suddenly changed.

A few days ago, the military order was received, and the governor Wang mobilized the troops of Jicheng to attack Bingzhou with all his strength.Duan Moting was quite fortunate that the days of guarding the grain road were over.

The siege failed that day and thousands of troops were lost, so Duan Mo was left beside Jingxing by the general.In the name of sticking to the food road, he was actually blamed for breaking the morale of the army, revoked his title of forward, and conceded a crime to garrison.No matter how you say it, you are the son's confidant, how can Duan Moting bear this?

I thought that as long as I survived for a few more days, I would be able to withdraw from this damn road.Unexpectedly, before the army arrived, the group of Bingzhou soldiers crawled out of their tortoise shells.

Duan Mo stood up abruptly: "Good time! The army is about to arrive in Bingzhou. Since these rats are out of the city, attack them with all their strength! I must pull out Shangai City!"

After holding back in Jingxing for more than a month, it's time to fight back and show those Bingzhou soldiers some color!Although most of his cavalry were transferred away, there were [-] infantry, twice as many as the guards in Shangai City.He is not good at siege warfare, so what is there to be afraid of in field battles with superior troops?

Soldiers and horses move together and form an array to fight.Riding on the horseback, Duan Moting squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy formation in the distance.The number of enemies is tens of thousands, and they should come out in full force.It seems that this group of Bingzhou soldiers also heard the news of Jicheng's dispatch of troops.But even if it is a last stand, it is useless!

"The cavalry go out, give me the first round!" Duan Moting said loudly.

With the order of the war drum, three thousand Qingqi rushed out of the camp, like a bloodthirsty bird of prey, pounced on the enemy!

"General! The enemy is coming!" Beside Sun Jiao, the herald shouted.

"Prepare for the crossbow array." Sun Jiao's tone remained unchanged, "Hold the main force of the enemy army and buy more time for General Tian."

He fought with all his strength, but it was not the frontal battlefield that determined the outcome of the battle, but the field walls on the flanks.Why doesn't Sun Jiao want to fight a hearty victory?But victory in the battle is far more important than personal martial arts.

Isn't defensive containment exactly his forte?

Arrows are as numerous as stars, horses are as fast as lightning, neither of the two armies hesitates, and the flames of war suddenly ignite!

The dispatch of troops was quick and easy, but did not achieve the desired results.After half an hour, Duan Moting's brows were tightly knit together.How can the enemy be so difficult?Chen Bing lined up and defended like a strong city, which made people helpless.Do you want to ask the prince for help?If you give him another three thousand Qingqi, it will be enough to defeat this enemy army!

However, before he could make up his mind, there was commotion from the side of the camp.

Duan Mo roared angrily: "What's going on? Who dares to disturb our army's morale?!"

"General, something is wrong!" A lieutenant came on horseback, "The rear camp was attacked by the enemy, and the food and grass were all set ablaze!"

What? !Duan Moting's body swayed, and he almost didn't fall off the horse.In order to ensure the safety of food and fodder, he specially sent [-] elite guards to the camp. How could it be breached?Isn't the enemy army exhausted?

"How many soldiers are there in the sneak attack?" Duan Moting's voice was squeezed through his teeth.

"Foot, ten thousand..."

"Turn around on the right wing, hurry to help!" Duan Moting heard this, why didn't he understand?These enemies in front of him are just bait, to distract him!

Duan Moting's reaction could not be described as unpleasant. He drew troops before the battle, and he did it in an orderly manner, and the battle formation was not chaotic.

But how can such a change escape the eyes of others?

"General Tian has succeeded." Sun Jiao knew the battle situation in the rear without even sending a message.Seeing the enemy retreating before the battle, he raised the corner of his mouth, "Do you think we are just bait? Send the order to go down and charge!"

His thunderbolt army is good at bows and crossbows, but all the soldiers and horses of the Liang family are basically arrayed to meet the enemy!

As the war drums sounded, one row after another of soldiers put away their long bows and crossbows, picked up the weapons at hand, their sharp edges flickered, and their spears were like forests!With the sound of the majestic drums, they took a step forward, thousands of people are like one, and all the troops come out together!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Shocking shouts resounded through the wilderness, charging like a tiger out of its cage!

How could Duan Moting expect the enemy to come so quickly after just changing his formation?With just one touch, the former army was defeated!

"I can't stand it anymore! Retreat! Retreat! Hold the Xing Dao for me!" Row after row of soldiers fell to the front of the formation. Seeing that the army was about to be defeated, Duan Mo panicked and shouted loudly under the protection of his own soldiers. road.

Food and grass can be lost, soldiers and horses can be defeated, but this road is the life and death line leading to Jizhou, and nothing can be lost!He must guard Jingxing, as long as he has the military skills in hand, the army will have a steady stream of energy, sent from Jizhou.What is the gain or loss of a battle?

"General! The pass, the pass has changed hands! There are enemy troops shooting arrows, so we can't rely on it!"

Hearing what the scouts said, Duan Moting felt his eyes darken.How could this be so?Didn't there be any news from last night?How could Jingxing be lost like this?How could this be so!

No one could answer his question.

On that day, the rear army of Youzhou was defeated, and Jingxing fell!

"How is it possible?!" The next day, when the military report was delivered to the desk, Wang Chang burst out with this sentence!

This Leping fought so hard, the opponent just avoided the fight, why did they suddenly launch a counterattack?The front army has 6 horses, and half of the food and grass are in the rear. If the food road is cut off, how can they use their troops?This damned Leping is so hard and clear that he didn't even leave a single grain or even a blade of grass for them!

"Send troops quickly and take Jingxing back! Don't they know that the army has already arrived in Fanyang? They can reach Changshan Kingdom in three or two days, attacking back and forth, what is a mere Jingxing!" Wang Chang felt furious, if he didn't look at Duan Jilu On the face of his relatives, he has long scolded that trash who is vulnerable as a forward and has suffered a complete defeat as a defender!

Duan Ji Lu's family took a step forward: "Guardian, don't be reckless in this matter! Bingzhou soldiers and horses have always been cautious, and it would be deceitful to send troops suddenly! Wouldn't it be bad if we hurried back to Shangai and then fell into an ambush? As long as the general leads When the army arrives at Changshan, if the two sides encircle, Jingxing will be destroyed. The former army still has enough food and grass, so we might as well fight steadily."

This is also the most profound experience he has had in Bingzhou for a month.Fighting Bingzhou soldiers is not like a battle between the government and the army at all, but like going into the mountains to suppress bandits, or the kind of strong and scary bandits.Accidentally, he took a cold shot and turned his head, but he couldn't even find his shadow.No one can stand such a style of play.Now that troops are suddenly sent to attack Houjun Liangdao, if it is said that it is completely unprepared, it will be hell.

The best way is to brake quietly and retreat slowly.No matter what the enemy's plan is, they must follow their own pace.

When Wang Chang heard this, he obviously hesitated.But the hesitation didn't last long, and he nodded quickly: "My son is right. The news of the general's dispatch of troops should have spread throughout Jinyang. It must be that Liang Zixi was afraid of chaos in the rear, so he wanted to dispatch troops in advance. Liang Dao Although we lost, our army still has [-] troops, which is nothing to worry about. Pass down the order, pull out the camp and retreat, beware of the enemy!"

This is the surefire way.Both Wang Chang and Duan Ji's family members were fully prepared, but when they finally returned to Jingxing, what awaited them was another bad news.

■

In the past few days, Liang Feng didn't take much rest, and he was waiting for news every day.Leping progressed very smoothly. Sun Jiao and Tian Xun jointly defeated the rear army of Youzhou soldiers, and the vanguard soldiers lurking in Jingxing took advantage of the situation to regain Xingdao.The entire rear passage was completely cut off.

The remaining [-] enemy troops did not act hastily, and slowly returned to Shangai.This is also to be expected.What awaits them is not a sneak attack, but a frontal attack, they just need to wait for the opportunity.Waiting for the result sent back from Youzhou.

The result did not disappoint Liang Feng.

Wang Jun was killed.In his rock-solid camp, he died unexpectedly!

Yiyan feigned surrender with two thousand Qingqi, and attacked and killed Wang Jun in one fell swoop, causing the camp to be defeated.No one knows how he did it, but the news will not be false.The soldiers and horses in Zhao County had already started to attack Changshan County, and no one would get through Jingxing. The [-] Xianbei soldiers who stayed in Bingzhou were completely alone.

Everything went terribly well.Except the same.Yiyan did not lead his troops back, but turned around and headed for Jicheng.

He took the remnant soldiers who broke through Wang Jun's camp and went to attack Jicheng!

Of course Liang Feng knew the meaning of attacking Jicheng at this moment.That was Wang Jun's lair. Although his son-in-law is young now, there are still several adult sons living in the city.If the battalion collapsed, not many people would die, and even if there were casualties, it would only be a few superficial damages.Once someone consolidated this army, what would it matter if Wang Jun died?Just change the coach.That would be a vicious enemy who harbored hatred towards Bingzhou and would never die.

As for Yiyan, such an enemy is not allowed to occupy the side of Bingzhou.He wants to nip all threats in the bud!Once Jicheng is in chaos, the enemy army will lose its supply and backbone.No matter which party it is, it is impossible to spend their minds on Bingzhou.They want to rush back to Youzhou as soon as possible to fight for the power left by the Wang family.In addition to Wang Jun's direct descendants, there are also the Duan family and Yuwen family who are not very close, and even Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei are also eyeing.Several people will turn Youzhou upside down first!

And this is the best opportunity for Bingzhou to grow and develop.

Yiyan's strategic vision is truly invincible.But what is he going to pay for?A remnant soldier galloped hundreds of miles to the enemy's lair.Can they come back?

Somewhere in the chest cavity, the pain was severe, as if stabbed by a knife.Liang Feng stretched out his hand and pressed against the desk in front of him.The troops were ordered that day, and a secret letter was sent that night.Liang Feng remembered every word in it clearly.Yiyan said that he would plead guilty to him, saying that he would not disappoint his hard work.But there was no mention of the danger he was going to bear.

That letter was like saying goodbye.

"Go to Shangdang..." After a long pause, Liang Feng finally spoke.

"My lord?" Sun Li, who was waiting quietly, was a little dazed. The news of Wang Jun's death came. Why is the lord still like this... Desperate?Aren't they going to win?

"I'm going to the party." Liang Feng didn't care about Sun Li's astonishment, and stood up.

What?Sun Li was really shocked this time, and hurriedly stopped him: "My lord, the situation is not stable now. If you go to Shangdang, what can we do if Jinyang is in chaos..."

Wang Jun died, and the news of the collapse of the camp did not spread.Nowadays, there are quite a few gentry who only know that Youzhou will have a large army to overwhelm the territory, and they are thinking frequently, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble.If the lord leaves, wouldn't that give them a chance?

"It's time to mess up. If you don't show up this time, there will be a next time. Wouldn't it be convenient for them if I leave?" Liang Feng's voice was not loud, but the coldness in his words was revealed.

Sun Li shivered. My lord is trying to lure the snake out of the hole?That's right, once the lord goes to Shangdang and puts on a fighting stance, why worry about those fools who don't take advantage of the chaos?Killing Wang Jun and eradicating the gentry with evil intentions will relieve both internal and external troubles.This is the surefire way.

However, those who should be advised should still be advised.Sun Li said again: "Since this is the case, my lord must bring enough soldiers and horses to avoid disturbance from the army."

Liang Feng nodded and didn't say much.Is this just to lure the enemy?No, he is going to Shangdang, where he will wait for Yiyan to return!The Battle of Bingzhou was not over yet, he really couldn't spare any troops to support him, let alone keep up with Yiyan's footsteps.But at least, he can wait for him in Shangdang.The one closest to Xingdao, wait for his return as soon as possible!

he will be back.

Liang Feng took a step forward, his steps wobbling slightly.But soon, he stopped the slight trembling, and walked out step by step.
