In Cao Xijin's field of vision, the Spike Army was still in order, with a strong momentum. The strength of their military battle formation is running out, and they can no longer launch the power of "tide tide" like just now, and the follow-up attack power will drop, but even so, it is still fundamentally different from ordinary battle formations.
Looking back at his own battle formation, it was scattered, and the blanks were not filled in time. The faces of the soldiers were full of horror and panic, so there was no fighting spirit. Cao Xijin knew very well that he had already lost, but he was not dead yet. But if you continue to fight, even if you don't die, you will definitely die.
"Withdraw! Go back to Bozhou!" Cao Xijin roared, leading the remnant army to escape from the river bank.
When he came, he was full of confidence, thinking that Wei Bo's army was the most powerful in the world, and it would be easy to defeat Lu's army. But he didn't expect that after a round of charge, he could only run away like a bereaved dog. There was no confidence at this moment, only panic.
"Chasing!" Shangguan Qingcheng saw that Wei Bojun was about to leave, how could he just let him escape, and immediately led Spikes in pursuit. No matter what kind of army is willing to do this kind of thing, it is a great opportunity to "pick up people's heads".
Li Ye did not stop Shangguan Qingcheng from chasing and killing Cao Xijin.
In his opinion, Cao Xijin was quite sensible, knowing that there was nothing he could do, he wanted to flee and wanted to preserve his military strength. But the Pinglu army is going to attack Bozhou next. Where can the opponent preserve its military strength, chasing and killing is the perfect opportunity to expand the results of the battle. Besides, he also believed in Shangguan Qingcheng, knowing that the other party would not fall into the trap.
Spikes rode 3,000 riders and defeated 10,000 Wei Bo's army. The battle report was sent back to the Pinglu army.
Zhao Polu's troops did not stop, and according to the military order, they went directly to Bozhou City after crossing the bridge as a vanguard. Its 30,000 soldiers will directly attack the city after arriving at Bozhou City.
A few hours later, all the fangs returned, and they encountered Zhao Polu's troops on the road. Shangguan Qingcheng returned to Li Ye and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, the last general led his troops to chase the enemy for 30 miles, and captured nearly 4,000 heads. , Commander-in-Chief please show me!"
"Well done." Li Ye smiled and expressed his appreciation, hunting is always the easiest time to get the first level, "Spike Fang remembers the first merit, and when I capture Bozhou City, I will personally hold a banquet for you to celebrate! "
Shangguan Qingcheng's face was flushed, and the eyes that looked directly at Li Ye were full of brilliance, as if peach blossoms were falling into a lake of spring water. Only when he led his troops to achieve great victories did Shangguan Qingcheng dare to look at Li Ye like this.
Bozhou is the northeast gateway of Weizhou. If Bozhou is captured, the Pinglu Army will be able to drive straight into Weizhou. Li Ye did not intend to give Bozhou a chance to breathe. The river bank is not far from Bozhou City, and it can be reached by marching in two days. It's just an army of hundreds of thousands of people, stretching back and forth for dozens of miles. When the front army arrived in Bozhou City, the rear army was still on the way. It also took a lot of time to assemble and set up camp.
When Li Ye arrived outside the city of Bozhou, Zhao Polu's troops were already attacking the city, and they were still encircling and dispersing Que Yi. Zhao Polu's troops were the elite troops of the Pinglu Army, with 30,000 soldiers taking turns to battle, they had already beaten Bozhou City to a terrible state, and had attacked the top of the city several times.
After the arrival of the follow-up part of the Pinglu Army, facing the siege of the iron-clad ocean and the vast camp, the morale of the Bozhou defenders fell to the bottom.
On that day, in the twilight of dawn, the Pinglu Army launched a general attack on Bozhou City, and a tide of iron-clad soldiers spread to the top of the city on three sides.
Cao Xijin sat on the top of the city, looking at the monks and soldiers who kept attacking the city, his face was as pale as paper. Even if he has a team of personal monks around him, there are a total of twenty Qi training monks surrounding him, and he doesn't feel safe at all. There are too many monks in the Pinglu army, and all of them are brave and die lightly. Even the masters in the middle stage of Qi training, who can enjoy the glory and wealth casually, are desperate to take the lead in the charge. The Bozhou defenders couldn't resist at all, and were killed and defeated.
Defending the city, every moment of defense, countless people died. This is taking human life.
Cao Xijin gradually began to tremble, and the trembling of his hands eventually turned into trembling of his whole body. He never imagined that the Pinglu army would be so strong, it doesn't matter if there are many monks, ordinary soldiers are also brave and forgetting to die, and they are not reckless. There are degrees of advance and retreat.
That is the quality that can only be cultivated after going through the flames of war and life and death, and it cannot be trained at all by training. Wei Bojun, who has always boasted of being a strong army, finally understands what is meant by a real elite in the face of such a Pinglu army!
Now it is clear that the opponent is attacking the city, and the Bozhou army has a defensive advantage, but the casualties are greater than the opponent! Often, when the other party attacked a small battle formation of five people, the Bozhou Army had to send two, three or even more battle formations to drive the opponent down. It's just to drive down, not to kill the other party!
Facing such an army, Bozhou City couldn't defend at all, and its morale was so low that it might collapse at any time.
The muscles on Cao Xijin's face twitched, and suddenly he grabbed the junior officer beside him, and shouted in his face, "Why haven't the reinforcements from Weizhou arrived yet? When will they arrive?!"
When Cao Xijin came to Bozhou, he also brought a lot of parts. Including the original defenders of Bozhou, there were 50,000 people. But in the first battle, thousands of people were killed by Spike, and now facing the wolf-like Pinglu army, it is simply not enough to defend the city. Once the opponent captures the top of the city and enters the city, the situation will be lost, and no matter how many people there are, it will be useless.
With a look of fear on his face, the little school stammered: "It will be... three more days!"
"Three days? Three more days?! Bozhou can't hold on for three days at all!" Cao Xijin threw Xiaoxiao to the ground and turned around in a hurry.
The distance between Weizhou and Bozhou is three or four times the distance between Bozhou and the place where the Pinglu Army crossed the river. Cao Zhongming and Cao Xijin had never thought that the battle would fester so quickly, so they did not make targeted preparations. When Cao Zhongming received Cao Xijin's request for help, he always had to prepare food and fodder before coming, how could it be so fast.
"Look, general, the Pinglu army has retreated!"
"The Pinglu army has retreated!"
Cao Xijin was shocked, and looked out of the city in disbelief, and saw that the Pinglu army retreated like a tide.
"What's going on here? They're clearly about to capture the city, so how could they retreat suddenly?!" Cao Xijin was terrified, fearing that Li Ye might have some conspiracy. With the attack of the Pinglu Army, the city could be captured before sunset today. After coming down, he suddenly retreated now, which made Monk Cao Xi puzzled.
"It's good to retreat, it's good to retreat, Bozhou has another day, maybe we can wait until the reinforcements arrive!" A general excitedly said, his eyes ignited the light of hope.
Cao Xijin didn't think so, there must be a monster if something abnormal happens, he is not stupid, and he doesn't think Li Ye would do something stupid.
Zhao Polu came to the big tent of the Chinese Army, and after getting permission to enter, he couldn't wait to ask Li Ye: "Commander, the city can be captured today, why did you suddenly stop the attack?"
He sieged the city for several days, there were also casualties in the trilogy, and he was about to make a contribution, but Li Ye suddenly ordered to retreat, Zhao Polu was naturally puzzled.
Li Ye was discussing matters with Li Zhen, when he heard this, he raised his head, asked Zhao Polu to sit down, and asked someone to bring him a bowl of water, then he said in a hurry: "Weizhou sent reinforcements here, there are still two or three days to go." arrive."
Zhao Polu was not in the mood to drink water, although he was indeed very thirsty, he threw his tea bowl to the ground and said loudly: "So what if the reinforcements come from Weizhou, we are afraid that they will fail, so just fight..."
Speaking of this, he was suddenly taken aback. As a senior general in the army, he quickly understood Li Ye's meaning, and his eyes lit up immediately: "The commander means that you want to eat this support army?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "Wei Bo's army is 200,000, and there are 100,000 in Weizhou. If they defend the city, the casualties of the army attacking the city will be too great. This time Cao Zhongming sent 50,000 troops to rescue Bozhou. Annihilate them in the wild, and it will be much easier to attack Weizhou in the future."
"The military commander is wise!" Zhao Polu immediately praised, the reinforcements are here to save Bozhou, if they haven't arrived, Bozhou will fall, they naturally don't need to come, they must turn back the same way. Li Ye can only attract the other party by letting Bozhou not conquer, the reason is the same as fishing.
Li Ye looked at Liu Dazheng: "General Liu, go and survey the terrain in the southeast of Bozhou yourself, and find a favorable place to set up an ambush. When the reinforcements from Weizhou come over, don't let them go. When will you fight over there? General Zhao will be able to launch the final battle against Bozhou accordingly."
Liu Dazheng got up immediately: "The last general takes orders!"
Two days later.
The Pinglu Army launched the final battle against Bozhou City.
Li Ye looked up into the sky, taking in the whole view of Bozhou City.
In the past two days, the army did not give up the attack, but maintained a level of attack without breaking through. This is to put pressure on Bozhou City so that they can keep urging reinforcements to come. The reinforcements are eager to save people, so Liu Dazheng's ambush is more likely to be successful.
With Li Ye's cultivation, he could go directly to Weizhou with the Holy Son and pick off Cao Zhongming's head, but that would be meaningless and would not directly determine the outcome of the war. Cao Zhongming is dead, Wei Bo is still Wei Bo, and a new leader will appear in the Wei Bo army to lead the states and counties to resist the Pinglu army. The feudal town is the root of the feudal town army, with their family property and wealth, which is different from the frontier army guarding the border.
Only when the Pinglu army captures the prefectures and counties can this be a real victory.
Cao Xijin's face gradually turned pale again when he saw that the Pinglu army began to attack the city again. Different from the soft attack of the previous two days, this time the Pinglu army resumed the offensive like a wolf and a tiger - in the first two days, all the troops of the Tianping army were fighting.
"It's over, Bozhou City is over..." Cao Xijin's face was ashen.
A general said: "Don't worry, general, the reinforcements will arrive soon, and Bozhou City will be defended!"
Cao Xijin said in despair: "The reinforcements won't arrive."
The general turned pale with shock, his face full of confusion: "Why? They are obviously coming soon."
Cao Xijin gritted his teeth and said, "The Pinglu army has suspended their offensive for the past two days, why? Xiang Zhuang just danced his sword, intending to ambush our reinforcements from Bozhou!"
The general couldn't help taking two steps back: "Isn't that the reinforcements... But the general has been urging the reinforcements to come over the past two days? Isn't that..." He couldn't say the following words, That is to push the other party into the fire pit.

Cao Xijin glanced at the general and didn't say much.
Li Ye's intention, he only thought of it today. Besides, even if he thought about it long ago, he could prevent the reinforcements from coming to save him and go back the same way? Wouldn't he be dead then
Now that the Pinglu army is starting to attack, it means that the reinforcements have been defeated... If the reinforcements win, Li Ye's trilogy will definitely block the reinforcements, and at worst, he will not dare to attack the city. Cooperated by Cao Xijin and the reinforcements from inside and outside...
