Phoenix pattern in a different world

What a prosperous place.

After entering the city, he took a cursory glance at the scenery of the city, it was fine if he didn't look at it, but he was stunned when he saw it.

It turns out that Linguan is located in an important border area, and it has been a place of war for all dynasties. Therefore, commercial development and urban construction are in a mess, and even the roofs of many houses are still covered with thatch.

And the clothes of the common people can really be described as vulgar.

Compared with them, in Luocheng Imperial Palace that day, everyone was dressed in Chinese clothes.

After entering the city, the plain eyes and naive demeanor of the people near the pass challenged Li Ran's visual nerves.

Is this the suffering and hardship one has to pay as a commoner in the border town?

Li Ran sighed silently. The scene in front of him inevitably reminded him of his poor life in the past.

Fortunately, he still had important tasks to attend to, so he had no time to be sentimental, and he just focused on driving the horse with all his strength to the tower.

At the same time, Li Zixin had already received the news and was on his way to meet him.

After a while, a man in silver armor appeared in Li Ran's sight, riding towards him on a bay red horse.

This person was dressed in a military uniform, his face was like a crown of jade, and there was a tear mole at the corner of his left eye. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Zixin?

It was Li Zixin's first time seeing Li Zixin in this attire, so it was reasonable for him to be stunned for a while.

When Li Zixin saw Li Ran, he pulled the rein of the horse and stopped in front of him.

Li Ran also stopped his horse, looked at the other party with a smile on his face, looked at the other party for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Long time no see, Zi Xin."

Li Zixin was stared at like that, his heart skipped a beat, and the emotion in his heart gushed out uncontrollably.

The Li Ran at this moment is no longer what he saw in the Phoenix Palace that day, and suddenly looks a little more handsome and calm.

Such a stunning person, now in military uniform, not only is not weird, but looks extremely dashing.

Looking at it from such a close distance, it is even more heroic.

On that day of that year, Bei Ye's protectors, both of whom sat on tall horses, looked at each other and smiled.

And behind them are the praying eyes of thousands of soldiers and common people.

They finally got together.

Then, without any further delay, the two of them immediately led a large group of people to the tower.

All the sorrows of parting can be discussed slowly after the war subsides...

[Xiliu Army Camp]

Inside the main tent of the Xiliu Army, Su Mo was sitting on a handsome chair with a serious face.

The 40 army attacked the city day and night for five consecutive days, but they still failed to capture this small Linguan.

This kind of cognition made Su Mo very annoyed.

And the culprit of all this is because of one person - Li Zixin!

Su Mo recited this name several times in a playful manner, and the secret hatred in his heart was not enough for outsiders to explain.

If Li Zixin had been successfully instigated in the past, the predicament today would not have existed!

Su Mo knew that if he stayed here for one more day, the situation in Xiping would definitely be at risk for one more day.

Right now, under that man's insistence, Linguan has become an impenetrable place.

Today he can knock a hole in it, and tomorrow the other party can fill the hole.

Su Mo rubbed his tangled brows, secretly thinking about countermeasures.

Then, a general dressed as a general came in, and then leaned over to Su Mo's ear and said something. Su Mo's eyes tightened, and he thought to himself that Jiang Jue was really willing to send his sweetheart here. It can be seen that he was sent by the family. The mouse in front of him was really in a mess.

The more Su Mo thought about it, the brighter the smile on his face.

Although it is said that it will be a long time to attack the pass, it will be a matter of time.

And the 5 troops newly joined by the other party are nothing compared to the 40 army, and there is nothing to fear.

What we have to do now is naturally to force Li Zixin and his men out for a good fight.

Su Mo thought for a moment, then waved to the general next to him, then whispered something in his ear, and then saw the young general salute him respectfully, backed out, and soon General Wen Yue, the coach of the remaining army, led in.

Su Mo sat on the coach's seat, received a salute from the other party, and asked lightly, "How many troops are left now?"

Wen Yue answered every question, and said: "I have 34 and 5000 troops left in the army, plus His Majesty's 40 troops, the total is less than [-]."

Su Mo nodded with satisfaction, and said, "General Wen, do you know that Beiye's army has just arrived with a batch of reinforcements?"

Wen Yue was startled when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled expression: "How did His Majesty know about such a confidential matter?"

Su Mo glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, and said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this, I just ask you, how long can the army's food and grass last?"

Seeing that the other party refused to speak clearly, Wen Yue knew that he had asked a lot, so he didn't dare to say more, so he replied: "No accident, I should last for more than a month."

When Su Mo heard it, his face was full of deep thought, and there was no change in emotion.

Wen Yue thought to himself, could it be that the Emperor Xiping wanted to keep besieging him forever?

It's just that Wen Yue was a little scared after being stared at so motionlessly by the other party.

After a while, Su Mo opened his mouth lightly. He said this: "Order the three armies to step up the siege! Since the opponent wants to consume it for a long time, then I will not fulfill his wish!"

When Wen Yue heard this, he was stunned!

Since the offensive is to be stepped up, why do you ask about food and grass? Isn't it misleading him?

"It's just that in this way, there will be a lot of casualties!"

Wen Yue bowed his head and cupped his hands to salute Su Mo, expressing his opinion.

Although the Xiping Emperor across from him was always unpredictable, and his moods and anger were unpredictable, but Wen Yue was a general after all, and he would not vomit when he had thoughts in his heart.

If it was changed to those civil servants, they wouldn't dare to disobey the dragon scales sitting on the seat even if they were killed.

When he said this, Su Mo smiled instead of anger, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and said: "This is indeed reasonable, but the general doesn't know it. This time it is only the vanguard of Beiye. A group of people will come to support. At that time, I am afraid that the general will have a hard time conquering Linguan! What's more, my [-] soldiers and horses will not stay here for a long time. The general understands this powerful relationship?"

Wen Yue was also very clever, and when the person in the seat said this, he immediately understood.

In short, the other party has grown impatient with waiting, so let him take Linguan down in one fell swoop at any sacrifice.

But this sacrifice obviously refers to his staying in the army, not the Xiping army.

Even so, Wenyue had to obey the other party's arrangement, after all, the life and death of Liuguo was now in Xiping's hands.

counterattack

[Temporary customs]

Li Ran followed Li Zixin to the tent, along the way, there were wounded soldiers everywhere.

Li Ran saw everything in his eyes, and of course the shock in his heart was not ordinary.

He stopped, looked at Li Zixin, and asked, "Has the other party been attacking these days?"

Li Zixin nodded, and said: "The news brought back by the spies shows that there are at least 5 troops in Xiping, and about 35 in the remaining army, while our army is only over 16. Attacking hard all the time."

"It's been really hard for you these days."

Li Zixin was stunned by what he said, but then he returned to normal and said, "With the fifty thousand hussars joining, we should be able to last for a while."

Li Ran shook his head, his expression was complicated, he was silent for a moment, and said quietly, "It's 15, Zixin."

"what?!"

Li Zixin looked at Li Ran incredulously, and asked, "Isn't there only [-] imperial guards left in Luo City?"

Li Ran sighed secretly. He didn't tell Li Zixin that [-] of Jiang Jue's [-] imperial guards had defected.

Li Zixin's eyes were full of worry, Li Ran patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's settle the matter in front of us first, maybe we can go back to rescue in time!"

At this juncture, it seems that it can only do so.

The two of them were silent for a moment, temporarily suppressing the worries in their hearts, and began to discuss the battle in front of them.

Li Zixin briefly explained the situation in the city to Li Ran. Li Ran nodded clearly, then pointed to the young general behind him, and said, "This is Lin Zan, the commander of my hussars battalion."

Lin Zan saluted Li Zixin with his hands clasped together, and said, "The last general will see you!"

Li Zixin saw that this person had an extraordinary temperament, and secretly thought that Li Ran really knows how to employ people now.

Sure enough, I haven't seen you for six years, and a lot has changed.

"General Lin, you don't have to be polite! This is my lieutenant, Yu Qingxin!"

When he said this, Yu Qingshen immediately bowed to Li Ran, and then hugged Lin Zan as a greeting.

"Judging from the current situation, it is inevitable that we are outnumbered. Even if the one hundred thousand reinforcements arrive, we must find a way to force the enemy to retreat." Li Zixin glanced at everyone's faces and said in a deep voice: " If you fight recklessly, you will only lose more and win less!"

Li Ran was not really good at marching and fighting in this era, but after listening to Li Zixin's analysis, he also felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

Lin Zan pointed to the map and asked: "This place is a natural danger. If you can set up an ambush here and attack from front to back, it will not be difficult to wipe out the enemy army in one fell swoop."

Li Zixin sighed deeply, and said: "That's right, but General Wang used this strategy five days ago, but unfortunately the enemy saw through it and took the lead, and General Wang's life or death is still uncertain now."

"Since this strategy can't be used, we can only find another way."

Li Zixin nodded and remained silent.

Li Ran thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Actually, have you ever thought that if the [-]
