The Alchemist God

Chapter 402: Siege without attacking

Views:

The blood stained the south square of Xingjue City, and 2,384 corpses were transported out of the city to be buried. The nearly 3,000 war horses brought by this Yihe country army all became Lin Muyu's trophies.

In the afternoon, the war horse was trapped in front of a carriage, and the carriage was hauling a large amount of supplies in Xingjue City. Almost all of the gold, gems, grain, and iron were moved away. Although Xingjue City was rich, it was no longer possible. If I live there, once the demons win the battle in Lingnan Province, they will soon come back, and Xingjue City will still become a dead city by then.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians left the city majestic, and the prefect originally wanted to guard the city, but was still persuaded by Lin Muyu to retreat, and wrote a letter to him to carry it to the lord of Cuckoo City Wang Ju, and wait until Lin Muyu returned to Lan. After that, Yancheng recommended to Qin Yin, and then still gave him a prefect Dangdang.

Watching the carriages leave Xingjue City, generals such as Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, and Qin Yan are still watching on the wall.

"Commander, the supplies are gone, are we still going?" Wei Chou said.

"Not urgent."

Lin Muyu shook his head.

"How can you not be in a hurry..." Feng Xi was very impatient by the side, and said: "Master, we have destroyed a whole army of three thousand cavalry. We will definitely get news in the direction of the steel wall. If we don't go now, Ding Xi’s army came out of the steel wall, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go if we want to go..."

Qin Yan said: "Brother, are you waiting for something?"

"Yes… "

Lin Muyu frowned and asked, "Weiqiu, how long will the food in the city be enough for Longdanying?"

"The inventory is abundant, at least enough for more than 4,000 of us to eat for three years... But... the forage piles are not much. Our army is cavalry and relies heavily on forage. It can last at most for a month in Xingjue City."

"enough."

Lin Muyu said: "Take good care of your horse and arrow box, and practice every day. For the time being, let Xing Jue City be our resident of the Longdan Camp."

"Yes…"

Lingnan, sunset city.

"It's not good... It's not good..."

A messenger general rushed into the hall with a panic expression.

In the sunset, Hou Manning was holding a beautiful maid admiring singing and dancing, and couldn't help frowning and said: "What is going on in a panic, calm me down, let's talk..."

The messenger's face was blue, and he clasped his fists and said: "Jun, there is news from the front scouts that General Xiong Chao led three thousand cavalry out of the city to attack Lin Muyu's Gentian camp, and the whole army was destroyed..."

"What? You say it again...?" Sunset Hou pushed the maid away from her arms, stood up, the fat on her face trembled.

The messenger trembled and said: "General Xiong Chao's three thousand cavalry, the whole army is destroyed... The news is clear, Lin Muyu led a gentry camp with nearly five thousand troops still entrenched in Xingjue City and did not leave."

"Lin Muyu, this imperial eagle dog..."

Sunset Hou suddenly slapped the armrest of the seat, his face was full of resentment, and said: "Xiong Chao, this fool has suffered such a terrible defeat. If this matter reaches the ears of the majority, what face will we have? Here comes the order, Ding Xi, led an army out of the city, and surrounded me Xingjue City. Lin Muyu dared to destroy my entire army, so I retaliated..."

On the side, Lu Zhao stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Junhou, Ding Xi is not the only marshal in the sunset, why doesn't the prince send the final general to kill the imperial army?"

Man Ning squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Marshal Lu Zhao is the pillar of the country, and the Longdan Camp has only 5,000 people, not to be afraid of, so leave this to Ding Xi to do it, you and I wait for Lin Muyu The head is."

"Yes, Junhou Yingming..."

Three days later, Ding Xi led an army of fifty thousand out of the steel retaining wall and surrounded Xingjue City.

"Big brother, it's all you, saying that you can't go, staying for so long, it's fine now, I can't go even if I want to go." Qin Yan held a spear and looked at Lin Muyu complainingly.

Lin Muyu looked far away and smiled: "It's okay."

"You are still laughing..." Qin Yan said in a huff: "I'm afraid we really can't get off this time. These 50,000 horses are controlled by Ding Xi, one of the seven commanders of Lingnan Yihe Country. Ding Xi is well versed in the art of war. I will definitely not let us go this time."

"Do not worry."

Lin Muyu's eyes were awe-inspiring, and said: "If Ding Xi led soldiers to encircle Xing Jue City, then we would definitely be able to get out."

"Commander, what do you say?" Wei Qiu asked puzzledly.

Lin Muyu reached out and pointed at the Yihe National Army a few miles away from the city, and said: "Look, Ding Xi divided the 50,000 horses into four, and one man and horse in each direction means that there are only ten thousand taels in each direction. There are more than a thousand people, most of them are infantry, and our Longdan battalion has five thousand heavy cavalry. Just imagine, can ten thousand infantry stop the breakthrough of five thousand heavy cavalry? If I were Ding Xi, I would bring at least ten Ten thousand Malays."

"You mean... Ding Xi has no intention to kill?"

"Well, wait for the news."

"Yes…"

At this moment, a letter bird suddenly fell from the sky. Wei Qiu took out the letter paper and raised the corner of his mouth. He said: "Commander, Cangnan Province sent a battle report. Xiang Yu succeeded in the attack last night. He used the catapult to fill the black beech The barrel of oil shot into the Qinling Pass, the fire was victorious, and the four Qinling Passes in the Cangnan Province were taken from the hands of the Mozu."

Qin Yan said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? In this case... Xiang Yu's cavalry will be able to reinforce to our Xing Juecheng in two days and one night... Hurry up and send a feather book to Xiang Yu and let him come to support..."

Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "Ayan, do you think Xiang Yu will send troops to rescue us so kindly? No need, send a letter to the imperial capital and tell us the situation here."

"Ok."

What everyone did not expect was that Ding Xi surrounded and did not attack. He did not launch an offensive for five days. It seemed that he wanted to consume the spirit and forage of the Longdan Camp. What everyone expected was that, Xiang Yu really didn't mean to send troops to rescue him at all. He just sat so far away and watched the Longdan Camp surrounded by Yihe Country in Xingjue City.

Lanyan City.

Qin Yin wore a majestic robe, with her legs close together and slanted in the seat, she stretched out her hand and read word by word, with a focused demeanor, but she was also majestic, and she saw the young among the courtiers. The men swallowed their saliva one by one, but they didn't dare to think too much. Even Tang Lu, Tang Tian and others looked at Qin Yin's beauty and thought about it, but they knew that they had no chance at all.

Qu Chu stood beside the empress and said lightly: "Ayu is besieged in Xingjue City, what do you think should be done?"

Qin Yin also raised her pretty face and looked at the officials and said, "The Longdan Camp is besieged by the Star City. Which general is willing to go to the Star Province and lead troops to relieve the Longdan Camp?"

Tang Lan clasped his fist and said: "His Royal Highness, Lin Muyu underestimated the enemy before he was sieged. The old officials felt that this was a trick of the righteousness and the country against the thieves. They will definitely arrange for heavy soldiers to intercept and kill our reinforcements in the north of Xingjue City. In the opinion of the old officials, It's better to send out Yushu to let Yu commander break through the encirclement forcefully. As much as he can come out, but Yu commander has a masterful knowledge and believes that he will be able to come out alive."

Qin Yin frowned lightly: "Any other suggestions?"

"Yes." Su Muyun clasped his fists and said: "Pingnan Hou Xiangyu has led an army of 100,000 and captured the Qinling Pass in Cangnan Province. The journey from Qinling to Xingjue City is at most two days. With thirty thousand cavalry, with a surprise attack of thirty thousand cavalry, I believe that the siege of Xingjue City will be resolved."

Tang Lan couldn't help laughing: "Duke Yun said and laughed, not to mention that the Lingbei army is unfamiliar with the birthplace of Lingnan. Ding Xi alone will not be so easy to deal with. Ding Xi is not a person who has gained a reputation. He must be fortified. General Xiang Yu has a shortage of food and grass, and it is late autumn. Soldiers need to change their coats to keep out the cold. All this takes time."

"Yes?"

Su Muyun squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "But don’t forget Lord Lan, the two provinces near Qinling in the empire territory, Cangnan province and Earth Star province are all from Lord Lan, if you don’t send people there Rescue Commander Yu, don't you want to watch the battlefield stained with blood by the first emperor's son, and watch the female emperor lose her only brother?"

Tang Lan groaned and said, "Why not, the old man immediately sent a Yushu to Leng Xingcheng's guard general Tang Xi, ordering him to do his best to the Imperial Army in Xingxing Province to go out of Mosongguan and rescue Yu Commander?"

"Tang Xi?"

Su Yu frowned and said, "Tang Xijiu may not be Ding Xi's opponent, right?"

"Then who else can play?" Tang Lan asked back.

Su Yu remained silent. There were only a few famous generals in the empire, and there were only a handful of people who could rival Ding Xi. Lin Muyu was already besieged, Xiang Yu stood still, and Feng continued to defend the imperial capital, while Yao Yuan was responsible for guarding the imperial rice. There is really no one on the Jiangyan line.

When everyone was silent, Qin Yin stood up slowly, put his hand on the hilt, and said lightly: "In this case, Xiaoyin can only go to Xingjue City in person. Feng Jixing listened to the order and immediately mobilized the forbidden army. All the cavalry inside, go to Xingjue City with me..."

Feng Jixing clasped his fists: "Yes, Your Highness..."

Su Muyun was stunned: "This... Your Highness must not, how can you take risks as a body of ten thousand gold, not to mention that there are countless righteous and national thieves in Lingnan, and the demons. Your Highness will definitely not leave the imperial capital."

Qin Yin smiled slightly: "Don't worry, grandpa, Xiaoyin has a sense of measure. I know what to do and what not to do."

On the side, Qu Chu said calmly: "Duke Yun, please relax. His Royal Highness has improved a lot in cultivation and has entered the third heaven of heaven. Besides, the old ministers will also go to Lingnan with His Royal Highness. Lan can also ensure that His Royal Highness is comprehensive."

Su Muyun sighed helplessly: "Okay then... Su Yu, you draw 30,000 cavalry from the Iron Blade Army, and go out with your Royal Highness, waiting to be dispatched."

"Yes, father..." Su Yu smiled with joy.

At the same moment, news came from Bailing City. After a fierce battle with the Lei Chong Legion of the Demon Race for half a month, Long Qianlin’s Dragoon Army was defeated... During the rush, he was slashed by the Armored Demon Army for nearly half.

The north of the steel guard wall was once again reduced to the occupied area of the demons.
