Chapter 578: Scroll City is blocked, Li Jin's back-up plan
Painting axis outside the city.
The dark figure stretches to the end of the sky. Outside the city tower, a row of generals' flags are fluttering. The king's flag is flying across the sky. There are no less than a hundred generals wearing armor.
The city was blazing with flames, but a small city hindered the pace of Mobei's 500,000-strong army. Although they had already invaded the city, they had to withdraw from the city.
"How long will it take to put out the fire?"
"Commander Qi, the water source in the city has been cut off. The nearest water source is fifteen miles away. The fire is currently raging in the city..."
"Asshole!"
"I'll give you half a day to open a road at all costs!"
"promise!"
After being scolded, more than a dozen vanguard generals left in disgrace. Tie Xuanzhen's eyes were full of uneasiness. Now the army under his command could not stop for a moment. The food and grass in the army could last for three days at most. Inside, unable to obtain supplies, the army will collapse without an attack!
"Send an order to send out a raiding team to plunder the surrounding areas for food and grass!"
"promise!"
"Let the Grandmaster of the Wolf Alliance take action, enter the city to extinguish the fire and open up a path!"
"No one can stop my Desert Wolf Rider."
"As you command!"
Military orders were issued one after another, and the cavalry behind them started to move again. More than a dozen figures braved the endless fire and broke in brazenly. For a moment, sand and rocks were flying, and groups of slaves were driven in front of them to extinguish the fire with soil.
"Report!"
"Commander, the Wolf Court has reported that Dayu has mobilized the army from the east to help Changyan County!"
"Um?"
A look of concentration appeared on Tie Xuanzhen's face: "The response was so quick. So, Nanfang failed?"
"Um!"
"Emperor Yu was rescued by a swordsman in white."
"We can't wait any longer." Tie Xuanzhen showed a firm look on his face and looked at the deputy commander next to him: "Su Gaiwen, you lead an army of 150,000 people, bypass Beihe County and attack King Yu's City directly!"
"As you command!"
"No one can stop my 500,000-strong army in Mobei, not Li Jin, not even you!"
"My sons, go into the city to put out the fire and pave the road with stones!"
…
City of King Yu.
royal palace.
Emperor Yu was sitting in the Zhengde Hall, with civil and military officials standing on both sides. Jiang Yu stood below, holding a battle report in his hand.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Changyan. Marshal Yue's 30,000 cavalry have entered Changyan. The cavalry from Mobei have been blocked in the area of Huaxiang City."
"So, our army will confront the main force in Mobei in Changyan?"
"No..." Ji Sui shook his head, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Mobei has half a million cavalry, and the military front is more powerful than the southern barbarians in the past. Our border to the north is flat, and although Changyan City is an important town, it is infinite. Danger can be defended.”
"The army that I can mobilize now is only over 100,000 in total. I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand Mobei's edge!"
After hearing Ji Sui's words, Emperor Yu's face darkened, his eyes fixed on the map and he said: "If Changyan falls, King Yu's city will be directly exposed to Mobei's cavalry. Since the founding of the country, I, the capital of Dayu, have never Not under siege.”
"Wait, do you know what this means?"
"I am guilty!"
"Jiang Yu!"
"I'm here!"
"Instruct Yue Fei to stop Mobei's advance at all costs. Even if we are defeated, we must hold on for five days."
"promise!"
"Kong Ming."
"I'm here!"
"Call the second brother. If he can't arrive within five days, he can come directly to collect the body for me."
"yes!"
Zhuge Liang looked at Emperor Yu with a deep expression and bowed respectfully.
"Is there any change in Da Yan and Dong Huai?"
"Back to Your Majesty, news came yesterday that Da Yan and Hu Nu have reached an agreement and the two sides have negotiated a truce."
"Xueyue City, the capital of Dali, was besieged by King Lingyou. Fortunately, the Empress of Dali arrived in time and swept away the rebellion. However, Da Yan seems to have the intention of attacking Li."
"What a big game of chess!"
A sneer appeared on Emperor Yu's face, and he said lightly: "Inform King Qin and return to the capital immediately!"
"King Qin?"
Everyone looked stunned. Lin Qiushi seemed to have thought of something, his expression was shocked, and his eyes were blank.
"His Majesty!"
Shang Yang slightly cupped his hands, looked at the map and said softly: "Now Mobei is blocked in Huaxiang City, and Yue Fei's army has also arrived at Changyan City. In this way, as long as Lan Yu's army rushes ahead of Mobei, I, Dayu, may not be able to do it. war."
"The county soldiers from all over the country plus the 30,000 forbidden troops sent by the capital, I, the Dayu, also have nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses, occupying the advantage of the city. It is not that easy for Mobei to break the city."
"good!"
Zhuge Liang also stepped forward to second his opinion: "Marshal Yue's military skills are even better than those of Duke Jingguo. The most urgent task is to rescue Duke Jingguo's main force trapped in the northern border!"
"Once Duke Jing is out of trouble, he can lead his army back to help and cut off Mobei's retreat. Under attack from two sides, Mobei will be in trouble and unable to take care of itself!"
"Your Majesty, please give an order to grant Commander Yue the power to act expediently!"
"Um……"
Emperor Yu showed a thoughtful look, then looked at Lin Qiushi and Shen Li: "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, no!" Lin Qiushi shook his head directly: "Yue Fei has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he is facing a powerful enemy. If we completely delegate power, what if..."
"Prime Minister Lin, if Yue Fei is not trustworthy, who can the current court rely on?"
Shen Li's rhetorical question made Lin Qiushi speechless. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In that case, I have nothing to say!"
"Accurate!"
…
Northern Territory.
Nameless barren mountain.
A spiritual dove slowly landed in front of the tent. A man in black clothes walked out of the crowd, took a secret letter from the dove, walked quickly into the handsome tent, and came to Li Jin.
"Commander, a secret report from Black Ice Platform."
"coming."
Li Jin suddenly raised his head. After waiting for two days, he was finally allowed to wait. After receiving the secret report, his whole body was shocked, as if he was glowing with the new year, and his whole body felt much more relaxed.
"Father, what happened?"
"Send the order!"
Li Jin stood up directly, holding the command in hand, and looked around: "Li Yan obeys the order!"
"exist!"
"I order you to lead 30,000 troops and launch a fierce attack from the mouth of the col. At any cost, advance three miles forward."
"As you command!"
"Wu Zhou obeys the order!"
"exist!"
"You lead the personal guard battalion and break out from the cliff at the rear. At three o'clock tonight, you will respond to the Changning army's internal and external attacks."
"elder sister?"
Li Yan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised his head to look at Li Jin: "Father, is sister here?"
"Um!"
"Changning is the last backup I have left."
"The third watch tonight is when we wait to defeat the enemy."
"Very good!"
Li Yan shouted excitedly, and then asked with a solemn face: "How is the situation in the north?"
"The 500,000-strong army from Mobei marched straight in, but was blocked in Huazhuo City. You, Uncle Li, led the 5,000 old soldiers and burned them all, burning the city to cut off the enemy's advance!"
"Marshal Yue Fei leads his army to Changyan County, and the war is about to break out!"
