The sky must be dark. Raindrops as fine as a stream. The afternoon looked particularly deserted and beautiful. The bad weather has been going on for several days. From the heavy downpour in the first two days to the pattering rain in the last few days, most of Qingzhou has been baptized by the rain, which makes people suddenly wonder. The feeling of "it's the rainy season again". The rain covered a wide area and lasted for a long time, breaking the old records of local heavy rain. No one knows at what point the record will end, and so far, people still don¡¯t see God¡¯s intention to clear up. Linji City. Linji is not only a county town, but also the administrative seat of Le'an State in Qingzhou. Although the scale and development of the city are not as good as Linzi, the state capital, it is not comparable to the five counties of Qi State under A Niu's control. In the drizzle, hundreds of soldiers lined up and walked out of the county town. Even if the weather conditions are not good, the weapons in their hands still bring some pressure to the nearby people. "The weapons and protective gear are all brand new and the equipment is good." Brand new weapons do not mean that this unit has strong combat effectiveness. Good "hardware" and facilities are only part of the army's combat power, but in the era of cold weapons, "software" is actually more important. This army is obviously not an iron-blooded division with strict orders that lasts for a lifetime. Their slightly loose formation, The nervousness and confusion that many soldiers showed unexpectedly were enough to explain the problem. Two soldiers fell one after another and were covered in mud, which added to the laughter of the serious march for several days. The drizzle made the roads in many places muddy. This rain made it more difficult for the Qingzhou Army to mobilize soldiers and supplies. At the top of Linji City, two soldiers on duty looked at their colleagues outside the city and whispered. Conversation. ¡°The Governor has recruited another 800 people from us. What batch is this? "The soldier with the short beard said: "It seems to be the eighth batch, it should be the ninth batch! Small. Another soldier with a pale face and no beard turned his head and looked. It wasn't until he was sure that the general on duty didn't notice them chatting that he sighed: "I heard from Wang Xiaoer that Zhao Mazi's team was urgently mobilized out of the city last night, and the war in Qi State is still fierce." "In fact, it's not just that. Linji City sent troops, except for Beihai State, Pingyuan County and Qi State controlled by Zheng Aniu. Recently, all towns in Qingzhou have been sending troops to the front line. Ordinary county towns have to send out 500 soldiers each time to attack so many. God. I heard that the main city and the county seat over there have not been conquered, and even a few peripheral villages and towns have been saved. It is indeed Fengxiang City, it is really tough. My son, he was among the second batch drafted to the battlefield and only returned to the city the afternoon before yesterday. He lost an arm outside Fengxiang City before being sent back, but he managed to save his life. I asked Li Tiedan about the battle outside Fengxiang City. Do you know how many people died in Fengxiang in one day? " "How many? " "I don't know." Seeing that the other party was a little dissatisfied, the short-bearded soldier hurriedly said: "Don't stare at me, it was Li Tiedan who told me. Wars are going on everywhere, from morning to night, and people are dying everywhere. It is impossible to count how many people die every hour! In fact, no one even bothered to count the bodies of the war dead. Battalions after battalions of troops were sent in, but few came back alive! "The unnecessary soldier couldn't help but sigh. After thinking about it, the soldier smiled bitterly and said: "The city has been recruiting troops, but every time it recruits reinforcements, they are mainly veterans. According to this, if the momentum continues, it will be tonight. , or tomorrow, our team will inevitably be sent to Qi State. At that time, brothers, we will all wish ourselves good luck. "I heard that the new Qi State treats the people under its rule very kindly. He has also established the Han Dynasty many times. "Excellent, why did the governor decide to go to war with Fengxiang City? If Fengxiang Army was defeated so easily, Fengxiang City would have been destroyed countless times." The short-bearded soldier's expression changed greatly, and he frowned and said, "It doesn't matter if you say this in front of me. I can pretend that I didn't hear it, but I must not let others hear it! Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!" The other man seemed to be still I was about to say a few words to each other, when a gust of wind blew by, rolling up the water on the flag, and a few drops of rain fell on the heads and necks of the two people. After they wiped away the cool rain with curses, the two soldiers lost interest in continuing to talk. A heavy worry lingered in their minds, "Am I going to go to the battlefield too?" Qingzhou, Qi State. The fighting within the territory did not cool down because of the rain, and the fierce fighting never stopped. In just a few days, the offensive and defensive battle between the Qingzhou Army and the Fengxiang Army intensified. The iron-blooded battle between the armies and the confrontation of wisdom between the generals. You come and I go back and forth, each showing his ability. ??For Sheng Hong, Zhang Chao and others, the first day of the battle was the smoothest. Their coalition forces defeated Fengxiang's three annexed territories in one fell swoop and becameThe ground forced Fengxiang Army to retreat into the city on the frontal battlefield - although the Qingzhou Army suffered greater losses. Sheng Hong now has a lot of money, and the soldiers who were damaged in the battle can be continuously replenished. Mastering the initiative on the battlefield is the most important thing. However, starting from the next day, the Qingzhou Army encountered troubles one after another. First, the troops sent to Black Tiger Ridge to exterminate the Talan tribe were defeated. However, the scout team suffered repeated setbacks in the battle with Fengxiang's "guerrillas"; they finally restricted the "guerrillas" to a small range of activities. The wolves in Lishan appeared at an inappropriate time, forcing the Qingzhou Army to retreat. Then, the sudden heavy rain and subsequent rainy days made it very difficult for the Qingzhou Army to move. In the end, the Qingzhou Army that attacked the Fengxiang-affiliated territory encountered unusually stubborn resistance. As the territory has become a battlefield many times, Fengxiang City has always had a fine tradition of building a large number of arrow towers. The numerous arrow towers have become an eternal pain in Sheng Hong's heart. "Mother, there are so many of these things! It's shameless! It's shameless!" Sheng Hong said. Hong's headache wasn't just from the Arrow Tower. The fire-resistant horse-rejecting wall also caused some trouble for the Qingzhou Army's attack. At the very least, it took them more time to cross the horse-repelling wall and enter the town. That time was enough for them to die several times. Good defense facilities and sophisticated long-range weapons. There is also the resolute will to defend their homeland and face death, scattered everywhere. The Fengxiang garrison in the township burst out with astonishing energy. Most of the garrison troops in each affiliated township only have a few hundred people, but they fight bravely. After the Juma Wall position is lost, they will resist step by step in every arrow tower and every lane. You can often see this situation: Faced with The Qingzhou Army, which was like a wolf and a tiger and was dozens of times stronger than itself, several Fengxiang soldiers defended the arrow tower, using their flesh and blood to gain more opportunities for their companions in the arrow tower to kill the enemy, until they fell to the ground. In a pool of blood! Facing such warriors, the Qingzhou Army suffered huge casualties when they captured almost every Fengxiang-affiliated territory. Even though Yu Hong and Zhang Chao hated the Lord of Fengxiang City deeply, they had to respect the loyalty and bravery of Fengxiang soldiers. This also strengthened their determination to destroy Feng Xiang in one fell swoop - this opponent is too terrifying! The Qingzhou Army used human sea tactics and finally captured Fengxiang's affiliated territories one by one. Take no prisoners. Following Dongzhu Town, Qixing Town, and Xuanming Town, in the next three days, Wangsheng Town, the grain production base to the west of Fengxiang City, Ouye Town, the blacksmith production base, Dream Town, the second player settlement territory, and liquor production The base, Dukang Town, was successively breached and soon completely destroyed, disappearing from the list of Fengxiang's affiliated territories! But what the Qingzhou Army arrived at was empty towns. As early as when the Qingzhou Army was still gathering, Pang Tong, Xu Rong and others made the judgment that "most of the affiliated territories are undefendable." In those affiliated territories with weak defenses, the people and supplies were transferred to the main city, and the losses were not lost. Not too big. These towns were destroyed. The biggest impact on Fengxiang City was that Baihua Liquor was forced to temporarily suspend production. The suspension of Baihua Liquor had a huge impact on the territory's economy. Sun Liang, the deputy city lord in charge of the economy, was indignant and went to the top of the city to point at the breach in the direction of the Qingzhou Military Camp. Of course , did Sheng Hong hear it? Sun Liang had no hope. On the fifth day, Baicao Town (medicine production) and Sangzhang Town (sericulture, weaving) further west were destroyed almost simultaneously. The destruction of these two auxiliary territories built at the foot of Jiuli Mountain left Jiuli Town (mineral mining and medicinal herb collection) located between the two towns alone. If it weren't for the fact that there was a Pojun Town (juntun) in the southeast of Jiuli Town that attracted With most of the Qingzhou Army's firepower, the situation in Jiuli Town will be even more dangerous. In times of war, the combat effectiveness of military garrison territories is more reliable. Further west of Jiuzao Town is the mountain. Fengxiang built two auxiliary territories in the mountains, namely Douzhe Town (juntun) and Suruga Town (war horse breeding). Due to the existence of "guerrillas" and wolves, these two affiliated territories are the safest. but. The militiamen and defenders of Fighter Town did not dare to be careless at all, because not only the war horses of Suruga Town were valuable. The old, young, women and children of the Tallan tribe also temporarily hid in this area. On the sixth day, the Qingzhou army made no gains. On the seventh day, Jiuli Town was breached, and the mayor and senior martial artist Lang Diao escaped. At first, Sheng Hong was worried that the cavalry of the Tallan tribe would suddenly come out of the mountains, leaving a force behind to block the mountain pass. And attacked the nearby Fengxiang affiliated territory. Baicao Town and Sangzhang Town were previously attacked and destroyed by them. Jiuli Town is an affiliated territory that Fengxiang started to establish earlier. After the Qingzhou Army occupied Jiuli Town, they saw that the infrastructure was complete and the conditions were good in all aspects. They also thought that there was only a small Douzhe Town nearby that had not yet been conquered. Victory was in sight. , so Jiuli Town was temporarily used as a camp. They paid the price quickly! In the past, when the Yizhou Army violently attacked Wuwei Town, the tunnels in Fengxiang City played a huge role, andThe battle between the Jiangzhou Army was over, and Fengxiang spared no effort to dig a tunnel. Although many tunnels have not yet been dug due to time and economic issues, the tunnels at several key locations are operational. Jiuli Town is the largest affiliated territory in the west of Fengxiang, and the tunnels here happen to be usable! Before Lang Diao and others broke out, they had already sent people to cover up the tunnel entrance. In just half a day, it was difficult for the Qingzhou Army to find them. Early that night. While most of the Qingzhou Army was still immersed in sleep, Langdiao led people into the town from the tunnel. We walked into some abandoned houses with ease. With red eyes, Lang Diao ignited the flammable materials hidden inside, and it didn't take long. Jiuli Town was ablaze with flames and loud cries. The fire burned Jiuli Town into ruins, killed more than two thousand soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, and injured countless others! The day after the Jiuli Town was burned down, Pojun Town was finally defeated due to being outnumbered. The mayor and senior martial artist Le Biao fought until this point and gave way. Outside Suruga Town and Douze Town in the middle, all the affiliated territories to the west of Fengxiang were destroyed. But not all of Fengxiang's auxiliary territories have withdrawn. Fengxiang is not an isolated city. Just around the main city, there are still three auxiliary territories under the control of the Fengxiang people, and the defenders are still resisting tenaciously! They are: Wuwei Town, Longhu Town and Borai Town. Wuwei Town and Longhu Town are located due north and south of the main city respectively. Due to their earlier establishment and the special location of their territories. and the development direction are all military garrison territories. For a long time, these two affiliated territories have been operated as the "two major barriers to the north and south", and have now been upgraded to third-level townships. Therefore, Wuwei Town and Longhu Town have super defense and combat capabilities that Fengxiang's other affiliated territories do not have. If there are not enough arrow towers, the tunnel support is not timely enough, and the long-range firepower is not fierce enough, it doesn¡¯t matter, there is still a weapon. Wooden No. 2. It is the guarantee of combat effectiveness! Wooden No. 2. It is an improved version of Muren No. 1, and its appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than the rough No. 1. The most important aspect of combat. Although Wooden Man No. 2 is still unable to move, and its attack method is no different from that of Wooden Man No. 1, the latest manufacturing skills allow the upper body of Wooden Man No. 2 to rotate from left to right at an angle of 0 to 10 degrees. Don't underestimate this improvement. Compared with the absolutely rigid attack of No. 1, No. 2 is more flexible, which means that under the operation of the militia. Muren No. 2 can target all targets within 1 field of view in front of it and bring them all into its attack range! Furthermore, the wooden man¡¯s most fragile operating system (iron wire) has also been strengthened to a certain extent! This is all the result of Ma Jun. Xiaoma is currently in retreat and is said to be developing Wooden No. 3. The defense facilities in Borai Town are worse. Due to production problems, Borai Town has not yet been equipped with the Mu Xin, and it is not like the two military garrison territories where "everyone is a soldier". But don't forget, the ones guarding Borai Town are regular troops. Jiang Qin's wisdom and Zhou Tai's bravery are also a fantastic combination. Even if King Yama wants to capture Borai Town, he will have to bring some brats to strengthen his courage! The situation in Boilai Town was originally extremely serious. The land route was surrounded on three sides, and the enemy navy was still looking at the sea to the east. The enemy navy was not terrible, but in order to keep the top shipyard, Canglan navy was never able to fight against it with all its strength until Pang Tong made a plan. After being fully prepared, the imported defenders suddenly took the initiative to retreat. Some of the imported peripheral defense zones were abandoned. When the Guangling army advanced excitedly, there was a flash of fire. It was still a simple fire trick that illuminated the frightened faces, but it was very effective. at the same time. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin abandoned their shore defenses and rushed into battle with their battleships to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy navy for an hour and a half. Together they sank several enemy warships, basically gaining control of the sea and opening up the lifeline on the sea. Then, the Canglan Navy headed north along the coast, loaded a batch of reinforcements and supplies in Fengxiang City, and then turned around and returned to Borai Town. That batch of supplies. Including Muren No. 2. In attacking these three towns, the Qingzhou Army and the Guangling Army paid a huge price and suffered heavy casualties. Many times Sheng Hong and Zhang Chao thought that they would capture these three towns soon, but eight days later, these three towns were On the flagpole in the center of the township, the phoenix cow flag is still flying. Every time, it seemed like they were just a little bit away from victory, but they just didn¡¯t win! Well, maybe this is the so-called world away. "What the hell!!" Sheng Hong and Zhang Chao thought at the same time.
