Chapter 854 Hearing Li Cheng's words, Zhou Lan almost laughed angrily, and he said proudly: "How can a human being descend to a bandit, a dragon and a phoenix, and a tiger and leopard?"
Li Cheng was furious and shouted: "Zhou Lan, you don't know that you will have already piled up dry firewood under the city gate, if you don't surrender, you will be buried in the fire."
"Haha" Zhou Lan laughed and said loudly: "When did you hear that the Feng State has surrendered to the enemy country's generals, and today I can tell you that the Feng Country has not surrendered to the enemy country's civil servants" As he spoke, Zhou Lan looked up to the sky and smiled.
Li Cheng hated the root of his teeth, and was about to order the fire, at this time, Zhou Lan suddenly stopped laughing and said sharply: "Listen to the thief, the country of wind will definitely become the burial place of you" After speaking, he jumped out, jumped out of the city gate tower, and fell straight to the bottom of the city.
"Ah" Such a strong civil official made the soldiers of the Zhenjun couldn't help but gasp, including Li Cheng.
The Textile City was lost, the city lord Zhou Lan jumped to his death, and more than 3,000 defenders were killed.
However, in this battle, the casualties of the Zhen army were not small, and fortunately, the people of Textile City were evacuated in advance, so that they were saved from being killed by the Zhen army.
The Zhen army, who had nowhere to vent, poured out all their anger in the Textile City, and when they left the Textile City, the Zhen Army set fire to the city.
The great southern city of the Wind Country burned for a whole day and a night, and when the fire subsided, only a piece of rubble remained in the Textile City.
The Zhen army slaughtered the people and plundered the property in the city, and when they arrived in the textile city, it evolved into setting fire to the city, becoming more and more brutal.
Zhangye, the first county of Pingzhou County, to which Textile City belongs, urgently summoned the county soldiers and the county soldiers of the counties under the county, and united with the local militia groups to organize a group of more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and Su Yuan, the county lieutenant of Pingzhou County, served as the chief general, leading an army of more than 60,000 people to meet the Zhen army, trying to stop the Zhen army's continued advance.
The two sides engaged in a large-scale battle in the plains near Jiancheng.
The two armies had just come into contact with each other, and the Feng Army, which had been improvised by more than 60,000 people, wanted to confront the elite of the Zhen Army of more than 100,000 people, which was undoubtedly a fantasy.
The battle had been going on for less than an hour, and the two corps of the front army of the Wind Army had basically been exhausted.
As a result, Gao Jun and Xun Xiao each led a 3,000-strong Zhen army death squad, which was inserted into the left and right wings of the wind army, and the formation of the wind army was thrown into chaos, and even Su Yuan, who was under the command of the Chinese army, was killed by Xun Xiao who rushed to the front with an axe.
The Feng Army was not the opponent of the Zhen Army, and the commander died, and the whole army was suddenly in chaos, and the collective rout was defeated.
How could Li Cheng, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, let go of this opportunity, led the army, rushed forward, and chased and killed the wind army.
This pursuit and slashing caused heavy losses to the wind army, and no less than 30,000 people were killed, plus the two corps that were originally fought out, the wind army of 60,000 people, and finally fled back to the county town of less than 10,000 people.
In this battle, the troops of Pingzhou County fought hard and were no longer able to resist the invasion of the Zhen army.
The Feng army was defeated, but the Zhen army fought easily, so easily that it had just defeated more than 60,000 wind troops, and they went to attack Jiancheng non-stop.
Jiancheng did not make any resistance, and after the city lord heard the news, he had already abandoned the city and fled with the people of the city.
The property, grain and grass that could be taken away in the future in Jiancheng City all went into the pockets of the Zhen army.
After Jiancheng, further north, is the closure of the city, and the closure of the city further north, is Wancheng, Wancheng is the acropolis of the wind capital Yancheng, if the Zhen army hits Wancheng, then and Yancheng is also close at hand.
When the Zhen army was stationed in Jiancheng to rest, the Chifeng army led by Peng Haochu finally arrived.
The two sides once again engaged in an all-army battle on the plain near the city of Jane.
The strength of the Chifeng Army is not much, only 100,000 people, but the combat power is much stronger than the local army, and this battle is also the first hard battle encountered by the Zhen Army since it entered the Wind Country.
The Chifeng Army is the central army of the Wind Country, which cannot be said to have been on the battlefield for a long time, but it also has the essence of the Wind Army.
In the process of advancing the legion, the arrows continued to fire, and the black pressure pressed wave after wave of arrows caused great casualties to the Zhen army.
The Zhen Army also launched a return fire, but the density was much worse than that of the Wind Army's arrow array.
Although the strength of the Zhen army is more than that of the Chifeng army, when the two sides have not come into contact with each other, the 100,000 Chifeng army is 100,000 archers, and the whole army is up and down, while advancing and releasing arrows, and among the more than 100,000 Zhen army, there are only about 20,000 or 30,000 archers, and the scale of its arrow array naturally cannot be compared with the Chifeng army.
Li Cheng saw his own shortcomings, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to advance at full speed and engage in close combat with the Feng army.
The two armies advanced on their backs, and after a short time, the arrows stopped, and the most fierce and bloody hand-to-hand combat began.
The Chifeng Army's melee combat is already very strong, but compared with the Zhen Army, it does not have any advantage, and the most disadvantaged point of the Chifeng Army is that there is no general in the army, on the other hand, on the Zhen Army's side, Gao Jun and Xun Xiao's second generals are in and out of the Feng Army's camp, no one can stop them, and no one can match them.
These two fierce generals played a greater role in the battle than even the two corps.
With the increasing number of casualties in the front, Peng Haochu secretly shook his head, it is not a way to go on like this, the Zhen army is fierce in battle, and the combat power is also terrifying, and the troops are still more than their own, and it is difficult to take advantage of the fight.
After seeing the true strength of the Zhen army, Peng Hao was unable to win, and had the idea of retreating, so he gave the order to go down, and the whole army retreated, no longer fighting against the Zhen army.
The retreat of the Chifeng army is not a swarm of defeat, but an orderly step-by-step retreat, there is a break, there is a response, even if the Zhen army pursues it, it will only suffer from the fierce counterattack of the Chifeng army.
Seeing that although the enemy army retreated, the formation was not chaotic, the soldiers were not panicked, and they were in a camp step by step, neat and orderly, Li Cheng understood that the other party was a well-trained army, and its commander must also be an experienced and good general who was good at commanding the army, and there was no benefit in pursuing and killing, and most importantly, he did not want to fight a war of attrition with the other side.
There are only so many soldiers under his command, there is no backup, and there is one less dead, but the Feng army is different, fighting locally, there are countless soldiers, and the casualties can be filled immediately, Li Cheng of course does not want to fight with the enemy army to lose both.
Seeing that the enemy army had retreated, he ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit, return to Jiancheng, and continue to rest.
This battle was a direct collision between the central armies of Fengzhen and the two countries in the front, and finally ended with the Chifeng Army taking the initiative to retreat.
On the battlefield, the two sides did not distinguish between obvious superiority and inferiority, but after all, it was the Chifeng Army that retreated first, which showed that the Feng Army had lost.
In this battle, the casualties on both sides were not small, more than 100,000 Zhen troops removed the dead and wounded, leaving about 100,000 people, and the casualties of the Chifeng army were slightly larger, 100,000 people lost 50,000 soldiers, of which nearly 20,000 were killed.
After the battle, Peng Haochu had re-evaluated the combat strength of this Zhen army, and according to his meaning, the Chifeng army could no longer take the initiative to attack the Zhen army, at least not be able to confront the Zhen army again.
But Li Wei, the deputy commander of the Chifeng Army, resolutely objected, he believed that his side must fight again, even if the soldiers of the whole army were exhausted and died, they had to fight hard to the bottom.

Li Wei's opinion is not unreasonable, after Jiancheng, it is to close the city, and then Wancheng and Yancheng, if the Zhen army is allowed to advance, with the marching speed of the Zhen army, it will not take a few days to kill Yancheng, and now, the capital is empty, there is no army to fight, and when the Zhen army attacks Yancheng, let the court take what to resist the enemy's capital If the capital falls, the wind country will also collapse, so the Chifeng army must drag the Zhen army.
Li Wei said this, and the soldiers of the whole army also said so, don't look at Li Wei as the deputy marshal, but his reputation in the Chifeng Army is too high, the first commander of the Chifeng Army is Li Wei, and the generals in the army are basically brought out by him, but when he was fighting with Ziying, Li Wei made a big mistake, which led to the defeat of the Chifeng Army, and Tang Yin demoted Li Wei to deputy marshal and appointed Peng Haochu as the commander-in-chief.
The generals led by Li Wei put pressure on Peng Haochu, and in the end, Peng Haochu had no choice but to fight again.
Peng Haochu's ability to command troops is very strong, and he is full of strategy, but he is not strong enough, and he does not have the courage of commanders such as Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying.
The Chifeng army sought to fight again, but this time the Zhen army did not respond, and retreated in Jiancheng and closed its door.
The Zhen army refused to go out of the city to meet the battle, which made Li Wei and other generals very proud, thinking that the other party was afraid of him, and even invited him to fight repeatedly.
However, no matter how the Feng army shouted and scolded outside the city, the Zhen army just refused to go out of the city, Li Wei was very proud of this, there was his own army guarding outside the city, and the Zhen army did not dare to go out of the city for half a step, so that he would not succeed in dragging the Zhen army But Peng Haochu was not as optimistic as General Li Wei, in his opinion, in a head-on battle, the Zhen army did not lose to his own side, and repeatedly refused to fight, there must be tricks in it.
Li Wei and the others, who were dazzled by excitement, didn't listen to him at all, and continued to scold and fight, looking at their posture, it seemed that they would not stop fighting without scolding the Zhenjun out of the city.
In the end, the Zhen army went out of the city, not during the day, but at night.
The Zhen army held back in Jiancheng for three days, three days later, at night, the Zhen army quietly went out of the city, they did not go out of the south city where the Chifeng army was located, but out of the north city, and the direction of the march was not the Chifeng army camp, but the north of the closed city.
The Sky Eye, the Earth Net, and the spies in the Chifeng Army had already spread their eyeliner around Jiancheng, and as soon as the Zhen Army moved, the news immediately spread back to the Chifeng Army camp.
Hearing that the other party was going to abandon the city and go north, Li Wei and the generals were happy, and at this time they didn't take the opportunity to chase and kill, and waited for when Li Wei didn't even ask Peng Haochu, and privately sent an order, and the whole army attacked, passed through Jiancheng, and chased and killed the Zhen army.
Before the Chifeng army walked out of the camp, Peng Haochu, who got the news, hurried over, grabbed Li Wei, and said urgently: "General Li, don't enter Jiancheng, be careful of fraud."
"What kind of deception has already abandoned the city and run away, what else can there be" Li Weiman asked indifferently.
In fact, Peng Haochu had no evidence to prove that there must be fraud in Jiancheng City, but his intuition as a general told him that the abandonment of the city by the Zhen army was definitely not simple
