Looking at the sea of ??fire in front of the south gate of Lihuo City, Qi Luoge's heart moved and he turned to Su Qin and said, "They buried kerosene on the ground." Su Qin nodded and before speaking, a sound rang out two hundred feet away from Lihuo City. There was an explosion, and Su Qin, who was looking ahead, frowned: "Zhang Duanzhang used gunpowder to defend the city."
"Order to withdraw the troops." Looking at the situation in front, Su Qin glanced at Hua Qingwu and quickly issued the order. As Qiluo sang and drummed to withdraw the troops, the tribesmen also began to give orders to retreat, but the Mangguo's cavalry was too fast. , thousands of men and horses were surrounded and devoured by a sea of ??fire.
Ye Ruoshui led the army forward and was blocked by the fire. As their horn sounded from the east, fifty thousand soldiers of the Tianshui Kingdom appeared in their sight.
"All the defenders attack." Looking at the soldiers of Tianshui Kingdom, Ye Ruoshui reacted quickly: "Inform the Mang Kingdom cavalry to come to the rescue and let Su Qin and Mu Henyu's troops outflank them from the south. As for the army led by Qi Luoge, , let them stay where they are and don¡¯t act rashly.¡±
Although the order was passed down, it did not reach the ears of Su Qin, Hulun Qinghan and others. As soon as Su Qin and the other leaders withdrew their troops, they saw the soldiers of Tianshui Kingdom. Before the news of Ye Ruoshui's request for help came, they understood Now is not the time to be selfish. Hulun Qinghan commanded the cavalry to rush towards the east, and the tribesmen also waved their scimitars and followed the Mangguo cavalry.
Su Qin ordered people to open a road and watched the Mangguo cavalry and tribesmen walking by. Su Qin asked Hei Ling to lead 10,000 people to rescue, while the remaining soldiers gathered around Qi Luoge and led them under Su Qin's instructions. Soldiers from the Tianshui Kingdom were surrounding.
Seeing the sudden appearance of people from the Tianshui Kingdom, Qi Luoge was a little worried, but he still passed on the orders. The lieutenants gave orders to the commanders of thousands and centurions, telling them that they expected their soldiers to stay where they were and not move without permission. No one disobeyed the military order, but there were still constant discussions in the soldiers' barracks.
Because it was a sneak attack, the soldiers of Tianshui Kingdom had the upper hand. By the time Ye Ruoshui realized it, they had already attacked, and the soldiers attacking the city were all rushing forward. Therefore, at least a thousand people died in the slightest contact. Under the sword of the soldiers of the Tianshui Kingdom, with the addition of the Mang Kingdom's cavalry and tribal tribes, Ye Ruoshui, who stabilized the situation, quickly began to fight back. There were 50,000 soldiers of the Tianshui Kingdom, and the sneak attack was just the intention of the commander. Looking at There was a huge crowd in front of them, and the soldiers knew better than anyone that there was only one result for staying here, and that was death. Therefore, after the sneak attack was successful and Ye Ruoshui's side reacted, the soldiers of Tianshui Kingdom began to think about retreating.
Already ready to retreat, the soldiers of the Tianshui Kingdom began to retreat under the impact of the Mang Kingdom's cavalry. One person ran, leading more people with him. Soon, the soldiers of the Tianshui Kingdom came and retreated quickly, but they The retreat was not as satisfactory as the arrival. The Mang Kingdom's cavalry pursued them for more than ten miles. Except for a few who hid in the dense forest, most of the soldiers from the Tianshui Kingdom were killed in this battle, and the remaining soldiers were killed. The soldiers below could no longer pose a threat to the army outside the south gate of Lihuo City.
"I'm afraid the soldiers of Tianshui Kingdom are almost dead." On the wall of Lihuo City, Zhang Duanzhang said while looking at the night in the south.
"They are just bait." Lu Tianxing smiled and said. Lu Tianxing looked at the sea of ??fire below: "Do you think they will still attack the city?"
"They won't stop." Zhang Duanzhang looked at the figures in the south who were constantly changing camps: "But with the muskets and artillery around, it might be difficult for them to get to the city."
"The gunpowder and kerosene under the city wall have not been ignited yet. Even if they attack the city wall, they will be burned to ashes by then."
"Their total number is only about 300,000. In the battle just now, at least 20,000 were killed, and we didn't lose a single soldier. I see how they are going to fight in this war."
"That's what the emperor said." Zhang Duanzhang nodded: "It's just a pity that Hulun Qinghan didn't lead his troops back, otherwise it would be a fantasy for Su Qin and Ye Ruoshui to capture Lihuo City. "
"Don't take it lightly. Su Qin and Ye Ruoshui have two hundred thousand people together." Although he said this, Lu Tianxing's face was full of smiles: "Let's just wait and see. This war will affect the whole world." It¡¯s mine.¡±
"Your Majesty, if you bring great blessings to the heavens, you will be able to rule the world." Zhang Duanzhang complimented him and continued: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"It doesn't matter if you tell me."
"Since Hulun Qinghan did not lead his troops back, the Tianlongge people will not be of much use if they stay in Mangguo. It is better to let them come to Lihuo City. What do you think?" Zhang Duanzhang said and looked to the south: "They have Many cultivators do this just in case, and also for the safety of the emperor."
"What the Imperial Master said makes sense." Lu Tianxing nodded and pondered for a while.Next: "It's just that we have an agreement with Tianlong Pavilion, but we can't restrain them. What if they have different intentions?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. I have a way to make them surrender."
"Since you said so, you can make your own arrangements." Lu Tianxing nodded, then turned to look south. At this time, Zhang Duanzhang, who was lowering his head, showed a strange smile, making it difficult to guess who he was. What are you thinking.
Outside the south gate, the soldiers who were injured during the siege were carried to tents and naturally attended by the accompanying military doctors. Looking at the sea of ????fire still burning in front of them, Su Qin asked Hei Ling and others to comfort the soldiers - these were still Su Qin's men. The soldiers went to the battlefield for the first time, and saw that the person who had just been chatting and laughing with them turned into a cold corpse a moment later. Many people found it difficult to accept it, and some even vomited directly when they saw the broken limbs.
Looking at the pale-faced soldiers, Su Qin couldn't help but think of the scene when he first participated in the war in Lihuo City. However, time had passed and he was no longer the young man who only knew how to wield swords and arrows. Thinking like this, Su Qin walked towards Qiluo Ge.
"How is the situation?" Su Qin asked as he came to Qi Luoge's side and looked at the soldiers.
"Fortunately, after the Tianshui soldiers who attacked before were defeated, they have become much calmer." Qi Luoge said and looked at the lieutenants not far ahead: "I am worried about what they may have in mind now."
"Just talk to them." Looking at the lieutenants, Su Qin said softly: "The current situation is not up to them. Only by attacking the city can they have a chance to survive."
Nodding, Qi Luoge looked at Ye Ruoshui who was walking towards this side.
"Let's discuss the next action." There were beads of sweat on Ye Ruoshui's forehead, and her long hair was blown by the east wind while she was wearing armor without a helmet.
Su Qin and Qi Luoge nodded, while Ye Ruoshui didn't say anything more and walked straight towards Mangguo and the tribe.
Soon, Hulun Qinghan and Mu Henyu followed Ye Ruoshui. The four of them followed Ye Ruoshui back to the commander's camp. On the way, Hulun Qinghan said that he would build a new commander behind Su Qin's army. Camp, so that everyone can meet there without having to run here every time. This suggestion was approved by everyone. Ye Ruoshui asked Su Qin to prepare when he got back, and everyone would stay inside to direct the war.
When they arrived at Ye Ruoshui's commander's camp, Lu Tianxing, Zhai Rongguang and others were all there. Because Zhai Rongguang and others were Ye Ruoshui's loyal subordinates, the conversation did not avoid a few people. Ye Ruoshui spoke first: "Let's talk about each of them first. The number of people you lead.¡±
¡°There are less than 60,000 people left in Mang Country.¡±
"Thirty-five thousand tribes."
"Twenty-five thousand from Tianshui Kingdom."
"The difference between the number of people on my side is 5,000 and less than 80,000." Su Qin concealed the number of members of the Demon Cult for some unknown reason.
Hearing Su Qin's words, the others didn't think much. Ye Ruoshui said: "In the battle with the people from Tianshui Kingdom just now, there are about 80,000 people left on my side." Ye Ruoshui looked at him as he spoke. It fell on a few people: "Our current number is 280,000 in total, and there are at least 300,000 defenders away from the fire city. As for those strong men, I am afraid they are not much different from our number."
"So, only by working together can we have hope of victory."
"We all know this, let's talk about the next siege." Hulun Qinghan said, his eyes falling on Su Qin: "Su Qin, your two families have the largest number of troops, how will you fight the next battle first? "
Seeing Hulun Qinghan posing the problem to him, Su Qin coughed slightly and said, "I have siege equipment here. As long as you can cover my people and get to the city wall, I promise to surprise everyone." After saying that, Su Qin He glanced at Mu Henyu and said: "Don't the tribes have elephants and tigers? There are also those poisonous bees. I can use them all in the next battle. When there is a commotion in Lihuo City, our chance will come. ¡±
"Didn't Qiao Er, Liu Yi and the others use an underground passage when they left Lihuo City? And last time Aunt Sun and the others left without anyone noticing, why don't we take the tunnel?" Su Qin mentioned the tribe. Tribe, Mu Henyu did not speak, but looked at Ye Ruoshui.
"It's not that I haven't thought about this method, but the tunnel is too narrow. At most two people are allowed to go forward at the same time at a time. Even if they enter the tunnel, there are people waiting above the tunnel. People who die in a fight may block the exit of the tunnel. .¡±
"You can use practitioners to stand in front." Hulun Qinghan said at this time.
Nodding, Ye Ruoshui thought for a moment and said, "You can give it a try." After speaking, Ye Ruoshui looked at Qi Luoge: "People from Tianshui Kingdom made a sneak attack before, and it will inevitably have some impact on the morale of your soldiers. , so, in addition to repairingBesides, what do you think about sending soldiers from Tianshui Kingdom into the tunnel? "
"Okay!" Qiluo Ge didn't have any objections, but just added: "I will go into the city with them."
