.Chapter 570: Change of the King's Flag at the City Head (Part 1)

Xingye rushed to Luoxing City and heard the scouts sent to inquire before returning to Luoxing City's city, and his own flag was still flying. Long Shouyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had rushed back in time.

However, the next thing Zhang Jun asked the scouts, Long Shouyi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. The reason was that the flags in the city had not changed, but there was no trace of Feng Yangjun outside the city, or Luoxing City had no trace of baptism at all.

What's going on? Long Shouyi, who was eager to be clear, ignored the obstruction of Zhang Jun and other generals, urged the horse to reach the outside of Luoxing City. Looking at the intact city walls and the flags floating in the wind on the city, Long Shouyi couldn't help but sigh that he had finally returned home.

But before he could sigh for a long time, the flag on the city was suddenly lowered, followed by a new flag that was raised to the sky. It was a black tiger flag. Seeing this flag, Long Shouyi's heart sank. This was Feng Yangye Kaihuai's flag, which means that Luoxing City had fallen into Ye Kaihuai's hands.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Jun, who rushed over, called softly.

Long Shouyi looked back at Zhang Jun and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, do the soldiers have the power to fight?"

"Your Majesty thinks twice. It has already exhausted the soldiers when they travel overnight. Who is unwise to start a war at this time? Please be patient and wait for someone to rush to make siege equipment tomorrow, and then take back the fall star in one fell swoop." Zhang Jun quickly said to Long Shouyi after hearing this.

"...Well, let Ye Kaihuai live a few more days. Zhang Aiqing, find a way to contact Fan Jianren in the city. I want to know who has betrayed me. After taking back the Luoxing, I will kill all those who have let down my trust without leaving any one."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll send someone to contact you immediately. Now, Your Majesty, let's go back to the camp."

At the head of Luoxing City, Ye Kaihuai was also a little unwilling to accept the unwillingness to turn Long Shouyi and others. Long Shouyi was too lucky, and the place where he stopped was just outside the effective route of the archers in the city. He had the strength to shine the arrow far away, but he also needed to have a correct head. Otherwise, he would be ridiculed by Long Shouyi even if he wasted his efforts.

"It's a pity that if Moses was there, it would be great. With his archery technique, he would want to shove Long Shouyi under the city, it would be like playing." Ye Kaihuai said without regret.

"Moses is really that strong?" Chen Baxian asked curiously.

"Of course, he can't compare to you in terms of martial arts, but in terms of shè arrows, you are not his opponents. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him serve as the commander of the bow corps."

"I'll have to ask him for advice when I meet in the future."

"Whatever you want, but don't cry if you lose."

"I'm not a child."

"Okay, you're not a xiǎo child. So you don't have to stare at me just a word. Just think about how to deal with Long Shouyi's attack in a few days later."

"Why not tomorrow?"

"Are you stupid? They are marching in a hurry, so how could they bring any siege equipment to the road? From tomorrow on, they will definitely build siege equipment first and recover their strength. They will start siege after everything is ready."

"Then should we go out of the city and disturb us?"

"It is certain to send someone to disturb me. But what we need to do now is to take advantage of the time to stabilize the situation in Luoxing City when we have time. I don't want the fire behind my butt after the war starts."

"What am I going to do?"

"Your mission is to stand by on the top of the city. When I said they were going to attack the city in a few days, it might not be true. So we must be prepared for both ways. Leaving you here is to guard against Long Shouyi outside the city to send troops to challenge, and you can take the challenge. Remember, only win, not lose. And after winning, go back to the city, and don't fall into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"I know this, you don't need to remind me." Chen Baxian said dissatisfied with Ye Kaihuai's behavior of treating him as a child.

Ye Kaihuai smiled when he heard this, but didn't care. He reminded Chen Ba to say a few words before turning around and taking his personal guards to do other things. Chen Ba first looked at the direction of Long Shouyi's camp outside the city, and secretly prayed in his heart that Long Shouyi would send someone to challenge him as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the night, the east and west sides of Luoxing City were quietly opened, and a team of cavalry left Luoxing City and disappeared in the vast night. The task of these people was very simple, which was to attack the troops sent by Long Shouyi to cut down trees and make siege equipment, and they must delay the time for Long Shouyi's army to siege the city. At the same time, the messenger urging Li Sansi and Wuding to speed up the time to rush to Luoxing City also left Luoxing and rushed to the place where Li Sansi and Wuding were.

"Damn it, shameless people." Long Shouyi walked around the camp in anger with a swearing. It had been two days since he arrived outside Luoxing City, but he had not even made a ladder for siege. It was not that the people sent to make the manufacturing were lazy, but Ye Kaihuai from Luoxing City was too shameless. He actually sent someone to attack the soldiers responsible for cutting trees in the camp. In just two days, more than 400 soldiers who went out to log wood were killed. Some of the people in the army were panicked for a while, and they were a little afraid of being selected to log wood.

In the past two days, Long Shouyi and others had thought about counterattacking. On the second day after the logging team was attacked, they organized a team of 3,000 cavalrymen to be wiped out. But the Feng Yang army was really cunning. Seeing that there were three thousand cavalry guards, they disappeared without a trace. Then when the logging team returned to the camp, they suddenly came out and the three thousand guards caught off guard were killed more than a hundred times. Immediately, the Feng Yang cavalry turned around and ran away. The Long Shouyi cavalry who had lost their robes immediately urged the horse to chase after them, but in this way, the logging team lost their protection. As a result, when Long Shouyi's cavalry rushed back, all the logging team was killed, and the trees that had been cut for a hard day were also lit and could no longer be used to make siege equipment. For this reason, the cavalry captain responsible for leading the cavalry was scolded by Long Shouyi and was demoted to a soldier and started from scratch.

Since then, the tactics of Feng Yang's cavalry have changed. They no longer focus on large-scale attacks on logging teams, but have changed to guerrilla tactics. Relying on their horses as better than those in Longshou Rebel Army, there are often hundreds of people who rushed over and turned around and ran away. The Longshou Rebel Cavalry, who was so angry that they couldn't catch up, cursed but could not do anything. In this way, the casualty rate of Longshou Rebel Army soldiers was also not low. And the most important thing is that the morale in the army is not xiǎo.

In order to deal with Feng Yang's provocation, Long Shouyi once sent someone to challenge Luoxing City, but he stopped sending people once he went there. The guy named Chen Baxian on the top of the city was so terrifying. He fought alone in the military generals and finally won.

"How come such a fierce man ran to Ye Kaihuai? If he was on his side, who else would he be afraid of?" Long Shouyi thought depressedly.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Long Shouyi was a little distracted, Zhang Jun reminded him.

Long Shouyi, who was reminded by Zhang Jun, came back to his senses. Seeing Zhang Jun looking at him with a care, he felt warm and said, "It's okay, I just thought of something else. Zhang Aiqing, how are you doing with what you are going to do?"

When Zhang Jun heard Long Shouyi ask about this, he looked a little depressed, "Your Majesty forgive me, I am incompetent, and I have not yet obtained contact with Fan Jianren. Now Luoxing City is only allowed to enter and not leave, and the city is not allowed to approach at will. The spies sent by me to the city are like stones sinking into the sea, and there is no news."

"...It doesn't matter if there is no contact. When we take back the fall star, we will naturally have a chance to find him." Long Shouyi comforted Zhang Jun and said.

"Thank you for your tolerance."

"How was the manufacturing of siege equipment going?" Long Shouyi asked again.

"This is fine. Although Feng Yang's army is striking luàn in the dark, the equipment used for siege has basically been made. After testing tomorrow, the battle to regain the fallen star will be launched the next day."

"That's good. How are the soldiers in their condition?"

"Although the morale of the soldiers has been reduced a little by the Feng Yang army these days, as long as the Majesty says something encouraged to them before siege the city, and promise some rewards after capturing the city. It is not difficult to make morale high."

"In other words, we have basically prepared almost the same thing now. The rest is to take back Luoxing and kill Ye Kaihuai. By the way, tomorrow someone will tell Feng Yang's army of the Feng Yang army in Luoxing City to hit their morale."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The next day, Ye Kaihuai was patrolling the city, and suddenly a team of cavalry ran out of the city. The cavalry did not stop at the city, and they bent their bows and arrows on the horse.

"Sir, xiǎo!" Ye Kaihuai's personal guard captain Gao Yuan shouted nervously.

"It's okay." Ye Kaihuai said lightly.

"Swoosh, swoosh..." Several sounds, dozens of bows and arrows flew to the top of the city. After confirming that the bows and arrows had entered the city, the cavalry drove away. Ye Kaihuai couldn't help but wonder, what are these people here for? Could it be just to run to shoke a few arrows?

Ye Kaihuai's suspicion was quickly untied, and the captain of the guard Gao Yuan walked over with a note in his hand. Ye Kaihuai took the note and saw a message on it: "Fengyang North Road Army was defeated under Baiping City."

Ye Kaihuai frowned after seeing it. He had always wondered why Long Shouyi came so quickly. If it weren't for Zou You's help, his current position might have been reversed from Long Shouyi outside the city.

"Gao Yuan, jiāo gives you a task to gather all the notes that had just been shè to the city." Ye Kaihuai pinched the notes in his hand and ordered Gao Yuan.

"yes."

Without caring about Gao Yuan's confiscation note, Ye Kaihuai turned around and went down the city wall and went directly to Long Xingyun to discuss countermeasures. When Long Xingyun, who was handling official business, saw Ye Kaihuai, he immediately shouted that Ye Kaihuai would change his job quickly. He was really not something he could do when dealing with government affairs.

However, Ye Kaihuai ignored Long Xingyun's yelling and handed the note in his hand to Long Xingyun. He looked at the note that Ye Kaihuai handed over, and Long Xingyun's face changed immediately. He immediately asked Ye Kaihuai, "How many people know this news?"

"The soldiers in the city basically know today. Although I have asked Gao Yuan to confiscate the notes, this is not a long-term solution, so I'll come to you to find a solution." Ye Kaihuai replied helplessly.

"Countermeasure? I have to say that Long Shouyi outside the city is really dangerous. I am so happy. Why are your relatives so bad?" Long Xingyun scratched his head in embarrassment.

Ye Kaihuai was dissatisfied when he heard this and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what are you talking about? What do you mean by my relatives? Don't forget that your surname is Long, and you are more close to them in terms of distance."

“I am an alternative existence.”

"Yes, you are a weird guy in the world. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and think about your mistakes."

"Well... Otherwise, let's tell the truth to the soldiers. After thinking about it, since they can come once, they will come second and third. The news of the defeat of the Northern Army will soon be known by everyone. Since this is the case, it's better to be a little bit simple. Rather than being told by others, we might as well say it ourselves. At least this will not make the soldiers disunited from us."

Ye Kaihuai thought about it for a while, nodded in agreement with Long Xingyun's suggestion, "Well... well, then let me know about this matter, I'll tell them."

"Then when are you going to say it?" Long Xingyun asked.

"Now, the longer this kind of thing goes, the worse it will be for us."

Ye Kaihuai was indeed a decisive person who thought about it. After leaving Long Xingyun, he went straight to the military camp. After the gathering, Feng Yang soldiers looked at the Lord standing on the platform curiously, not understanding which one he was going to play this time.

"My soldiers, I have a bad news to tell you." Ye Kaihuai shouted loudly to the soldiers below the stage. The soldiers looked at Ye Kaihuai quietly and heard Ye Kaihuai continue: "Just just now, I got the news that our Fengyang North Road Army was defeated by the Long Shouyi army outside the city under Baiping City. We can no longer wait for the day when the brothers of the North Road Army attacked the Long Shouyi army with us."

A wave of sāluàn came from the soldiers' phalanx. As expected, the soldiers began to waver.

"I'm not willing." Ye Kaihuai shouted loudly to the soldiers: "I'm not willing to lose the victory that I'm about to win; I'm not willing to lose the land we've lost after we've lost our blood and sacrificed, and I'm even more unwilling to let the blood flow of those robes that have lost their lives for us. Are you willing?" At the end of the day, Ye Kaihuai pointed at the soldiers and shouted.

"I'm not willing!" the soldiers also shouted back.

"Very good. I want to fight the Long Shou Yi army outside the city. I want to defeat them and win the final victory of this war. I want to avenge the brothers of the Northern Army who were defeated by them. Are you willing to fight side by side with me?"

The soldiers were silent for a brief moment, and suddenly a soldier raised his weapon and shouted, "See you to die for the Lord!" Then, everyone raised their weapons and shouted with a moving face: "See you to die for the Lord."

Not far away, Long Xingyun, who rushed over because he was worried, saw this and smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned around and continued to take charge of his own responsibility.

Long Shouyi outside the city never expected that his idea not only did not weaken Feng Yang's morale, but was instead used by Ye Kaihuai, and successfully achieved the determination of Feng Yang's army and Long Shou Yijun outside the city to fight desperately.

Just when Ye Kaihuai and Long Shouyi were busy in Luoxing City, the Fengyang North Army, which was far away on the north bank of the Cang River, was not idle. The unexpected defeat made the soldiers of the North Army hold their breath in their hearts, and waited for the reinforcements to arrive, and they vented their anger.

After waiting thousands of times, the reinforcements finally arrived. The Northern Army, which was re-equipped with weapons and equipment, went straight to Baiping City with murderous intent this time, with the intention of revenge.

Looking at Feng Yangjun lined up outside the city, Bai Wei felt calm. He was ready to defend the city to repay Long Shuyi's kindness. His family had long sent his confidant to send him to a secret place, and he had no worries at all. But he had no worries, which did not mean that others would not have them. Local officials were instinctively repulsed by Bai Wei, who were airborne officials. However, Bai Wei was usually good at being a human being, so neither side had any fray. But now it was time to endanger his life, so Bai Ping's local officials could tell Bai Wei that they would not violate each other.

"If you dare to block my life, I will leave you with no way out." The local officials of Baiping quietly began to discuss the reconciliation with Feng Yangjun outside the city. After thinking about it, Bai Wei became the biggest obstacle to their implementation of the plan. Since it became an obstacle, he could only move him aside.

However, Bai Wei had already noticed their actions and was wary of them. For a moment, they had no good chance to solve Bai Wei.

However, Feng Yang's army outside the city would not give the local officials in the city time to frame Bai Wei. After the assembly was completed, Feng Yang's army began to attack Baiping City.

Bai Wei personally visited the battlefield and led the Baiping City defenders to defend the city to the death, repelling Feng Yang's siege again and again. It was not until it was too late that Feng Yang's army called out to withdraw the troops, giving Baiping City a chance to rest.

The local officials of Baiping City have already cursed Bai Wei's ancestors in their hearts. Bai Wei is simply a madman. At this time, he is competing with Feng Yangjun. When Feng Yangjun breaks Baiping, what good end can Baiping have? At this time, he should negotiate with Feng Yangjun to see what they really need? As long as their requirements are met, they will naturally not attack Baiping again. Unfortunately, there is a big stone on this road to peace, which is Bai Wei.

It takes a price to seek peace. For peace, the local officials of Baiping City are determined not to be afraid of all difficulties and will personally move away the stubborn stone that hinders peace. Bai Wei. A plan for Bai Wei has quietly begun.
