Chapter 498: Attack
Tongcheng is a transportation hub connecting Kaiping County and Zhongping County. In Zhongping County, it is the second largest city after the county town, and it is also the only territory controlled by Luo Yishui. Since the attack on Longyou County was blocked by the Xiao family, Luo Yishui retreated here and began to transform Tongcheng.
He knew very well that the final decisive battle would inevitably break out here, and his only chance to turn the tables was to defeat the emperor Wu Jian here, with a handsome man covering up all his ugliness. As long as he won this battle, Yue Kingdom would still be his.
The war ahead is still going on fiercely, but it is still like a busy construction site. The surroundings have been dug beyond recognition. A small river flowing through Tongcheng was intercepted. A wide moat has been completed around Tongcheng, and the water level is rising day by day. Outside the moat, more defensive positions and fortresses have also taken shape.
"We still have 50,000 troops now, and the food and grass can support it for two months." Chen Ci, who was standing beside Luo Yishui, looked a little sad. He returned to Tongcheng from Fancheng, with his original intention to discuss countermeasures for the current situation with Luo Yishui. In his plan, more than 10,000 soldiers should have no problem guarding Fancheng.
But shortly after he returned, Fancheng declared his loss, and more than 10,000 soldiers fled back only 20,000 people. The rest were either killed in battle or captured by the Taiping Army. Even the youngest son Chen Jinhua was captured alive. The eldest son Chen Zhihua returned and brought a message asking Luo Yishui to see him, which not only made Luo Yishui furious, but even Chen Ci was extremely angry.
This is not an ordinary meeting. If Luo Yishui goes, it is not true that he will admit defeat to the other party. Such an insulting meeting like a minister bowing to the monarch will be completely unacceptable.
They are not yet at the end of their lives!
The matter was put on hold, but in this way, the safety of his youngest son Chen Jinhua became a problem. Will Qin Feng kill his youngest son with a desperate thug? Every night when he returned to his residence in Tongcheng and saw his youngest son and his wife standing in front of him with a child in his arms, Chen Ci felt very upset.
Luo Yishui had a beard, which looked much older than his actual age. His eyes were covered with bloodshot, and the development of form was beyond his expectations. Especially the Taiping Army Qin Feng's breach of the contract made him particularly angry.
Qin Feng did not want Zhengyang County, but colluded with Wu Jian and suddenly sent troops to Yongping County. Not only did he cut off the retreat route he had originally prepared, but he also forced him to the absolute. Until now, he still couldn't understand why Qin Feng was not richer and his geographical location was more important. It can be said that Zhengyang County, which is of strategic significance, wanted to seize a Yongping County that was not very important to him. Is it just to make things difficult for Taluo Yishui?
He couldn't figure out the joints here. But the sudden attack of the Taiping Army did make him no way out. Apart from fighting with Wu Jianjue in Zhongping County, he had no second option.
Two days ago, news suddenly came that Qin Feng attacked Yongping County and defeated the Taiping Army's Tiger Camp. The large group of troops were advancing deep in Yongping County. This made Luo Yishui feel angry and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the Qin people intended, they attacked the Taiping Army, which always avoided the possibility of being attacked from both sides. It also increased their confidence in a decisive battle with Wu Jian.
Now Wu Jian has 50,000 Hu Ben, plus tens of thousands of county soldiers, so the county soldiers can be ignored. What he needs to worry about is Hu Ben. This battle is not sure, but it is a battle that determines life and death.
"How strong will the Qin people attack in Yongping County?" Looking at Chen Ci, Luo Yishui suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Chen Ci knew what Luo Yishui wanted to ask, "If Qin Feng could still free up his hands, it would be very unfavorable to us, but I think he should do his best to deal with the Qin people now, and it is impossible for him to still have the heart to send troops to Zhongping County."
"What do Qin people mean?" Luo Yishui asked.
Chen Ci frowned for a moment before saying, "General Luo, in my opinion, I am afraid that the Qin people do not want Qin Feng to intervene in the decisive battle with Wu Jian, because if Qin Feng joins, the situation will be too unfavorable for us. The Qin people probably want us to fight with Wu Jian, and it is best to have both losers."
"Then they can pick up ready-made cheapness." Luo Yishui said with gritted teeth.
"Yes, or that's what Li Zhi thought." Chen Ci said helplessly. This is the reality. Any conditions that had been negotiated before may recur with the changes in the situation. The alliance between countries, one force, and another, is sometimes more fragile than the agreement between two ordinary people.
People do not stand without trust, but for the country, this sentence is like farting. People with power turn against each other faster than reading books. First, there was Qin Feng, then Qin people. None of them had good intentions. While launching an attack on the Taiping Army of Yongping County, the Qin people drove 20,000 heavy cavalry out of Kaiping County and slowly approached Tongcheng. Do they want to be the melon-eating crowd to watch the fun?
In the country of Yue, those who originally promised to respond to Luo Yishui together have disappeared. Since Luo Yishui did not take down Zhongping County as scheduled, these people completely cut off their ties with Luo Yishui, as if they had never known this person. If they had taken Zhongping County as scheduled and then attacked Yongping County, the world would be very different. I am afraid that the country of Yue would have wars and smoke everywhere.
One wrong step, one wrong step, the old lady Xiao, the old lady ruined the whole big thing. Whenever she thinks of this, Luo Yishui feels a little regretful. If she did not kill Xiao Zhenggang, but captured him alive, what would it be like now?
But in this world, there is no medicine for regret.
A sudden sound of horse hooves came from afar. Luo Yishui looked up and his eyes suddenly contracted. The person who came from the horse was his junior brother, Molo. And further afield, you could see groups of soldiers who were like sheepless flocks, also rushing towards here.
Chen Tangzhai was lost! Chen Ci exclaimed in shock.
Chentang Village and Wagang Bridge are two key points for guarding Tongcheng. According to their estimates, they can be guarded for at least ten days and half a month, so that their transformation of Tongzhou can be further strengthened. But now, in less than three days, Chentang Village, which is guarded by Moluo, has been lost. Chentang Village is lost, and Wagang Bridge will inevitably be out of protection.
"General Chen, inform Fu Ming to withdraw from Wagang Bridge!" Luo Yishui sighed.
The wind was roaring, Molo ran under the city wall, jumped up, landed beside Luo Yishui, and angrily threw a man's head on the ground.
"They sent someone to entangle me, and then tens of thousands of troops attacked me. We failed to resist and Chentang Village was lost." Mo Luo said.
Staring at the heads of the people on the ground, Luo Yishui and Chen Ci both exclaimed: "Eunuch Xi!"
"A eunuch, do you know him?" Mo Luo said: "It's a terrible idea. It took him more than an hour to kill him, but it was only in this more than an hour that they took Chentang Village."
Luo Yishui and Chen Ci looked at each other, and a chill burst out in their hearts. This Eunuch Xi is not an ordinary eunuch. He is Wu Jian’s inner palace supervisor and a master at the peak of level nine. In order to seize Chentang Village and open the passage to attack Tongcheng, Wu Jian actually asked Eunuch Xi to die. This determination at all costs made both of them feel disappointed.
"Let's fight!" Luo Yishui said.
"The decisive battle in Tongcheng is here to fight for life and death." Chen Ci also said.
While Luo Yishui was about to fight to the death, an army was slowly moving forward on the road from Yongping County to Zhongping County. In the middle of the team, under the Fire Battle Knife, Qin Feng was chatting and laughing with He Rentu around him easily. Behind the two, another person followed them dejectedly. It was none other than Chen Jinhua, the second son Chen Ci was now thinking about.
There was no restraint or restriction, but Chen Jinhua did not dare to make any abnormal movements, because in front of him, he was a master, oh, no, two masters, because right beside him, there was a woman in black all over her body, and she was also a master-level master. Don’t say that she had any moves, they would be aware of it immediately if they showed a little murderous intent in their hearts.
He didn't know what Qin Feng meant with him?
These days, what he saw was a well-equipped and highly fighting army, advancing towards Zhongping County. If they were also involved in the battle against Luo Yishui, their troops would have no room for a turnaround. Whether it was the Hu Ben Army or the Taiping Army in front of them, their combat capabilities would be greater than their troops.
This discovery made Chen Jinhua very painful.
A battle without any hope was doomed from the beginning.
There was a fork in front of him. Wherever he was, another army was waiting there. Qin Feng and He Rentu rode out, jumped over the army ahead, and ran towards the army. Beside him, Ying Gu, who was dressed in black, looked at Chen Jinhua coldly and said, "Let's go."
Chen Jinhua didn't understand why, but he could only destroy his horse and follow Qin Feng. The fork in front of him was filled with the Taiping Army's army. This was an army that Chen Jinhua had never seen before, but the flying tiger flag also saved him from it. This was another main battle camp of the Taiping Army, the Tiger Camp, and the chief general Chen Jialuo.
"I've seen General Qin." Chen Jialuo clasped his fists and bowed to Qin Feng, then turned to salute He Rentu. Although he had not met with the main force during this period, the daily report to him still mentioned the He Rentu. Another master-level master joined the Taiping Army. For each of them, the rapid improvement of combat power, he was naturally happy. The greater the power of the Taiping Army, the higher the possibility of their success, and of course it also means that their family will attach its wings and walk further on the broad road.
"Canglang Camp is acting together with you, and you are still in charge of the unified command. Wild dog, do you understand?" Qin Feng looked at the wild dog who was following him by horse.
"No problem. As long as I play the striker, I will have no problem following his command." The Wild Dog said indifferently.
"Even if you are asked to keep the food and grass, you have to obey the command." Qin Feng glared at him, and the wild dog immediately shrank.
Chen Jialuo smiled and said, "General, don't worry, General Gan, I will definitely cooperate closely."
"Well, in addition, the monk and his wife will also come to your place to help. They are both good martial arts masters, especially Yu Xiu'e, who has barely entered the ninth level. With their help, you will be more wings." Qin Feng reached out to attract the monk and his wife and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry!" Chen Jialuo did not dare to neglect the monk and his wife at all. These were all direct members of Qin Feng before, and he would definitely be in power in the future.
Chapter completed!
