Chapter 398: Besiege but Not Attack


Blood dyed the south square of Xingjue City red, and 2,384 corpses were transported out of the city for burial.

The nearly 3,000 war horses brought by the Boxer Army all became Lin Muyu's trophies.

In the afternoon, the war horses were hitched in front of the carriages, and the carriages were hauling a large amount of supplies in Xingjue City.

Almost all the gold, gems, grain, ironware, etc. were moved away.

Although Xingjue City was rich, it could no longer If they continue to live there, once the demons win the war in Lingnan Province, they will soon make a comeback, and Xingjue City will still become a dead city.

One hundred thousand civilians left the city in a mighty manner, and the prefect originally wanted to defend the city, but he was still persuaded to retreat by Lin Muyu, and wrote a letter for him to carry to Wang Ju, the lord of Cuckoo City, and waited until Lin Muyu returned to Lan After that, Yancheng recommended Qin Yin, and when the time came, he would still be regarded as a prefect.

Watching the carriages leaving Xingjue City, Lin Muyu, Wei Qiu, Qin Yan and other generals were still watching from the city walls.

"Commander, all the supplies are gone, why don't we leave?"

Wei Qiu said.

"No rush."

Lin Muyu shook his head.

"How can we not be anxious?"

Feng Xi was very impatient at the side and said: "Lord Commander, we have destroyed an entire cavalry of 3,000 people.

News will definitely be received from the direction of the steel guard wall.

If we don't leave now, Ding Xi Dajun has come out of the steel protective wall, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave even if we want to.”

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

"yes" Lin Muyu frowned and asked: "Wei Chou, how long will the food in the city be enough to feed the Longdan Camp?"

"The inventory is sufficient, at least enough to feed more than 4,000 of us for three years.

However, there are not many hay piles left.

Our army is all cavalry and relies heavily on hay.

It can probably last in Xingjue City for a month at most."

"That's enough."

Lin Muyu said: "Take good care of the war horses and arrow boxes, practice every day, and temporarily regard Xingjue City as the base of our Gentian Battalion."

"yes" Lingnan, Sunset City.

“It’s bad, it’s bad” A general who ordered the order rushed into the hall in a panic.

Sunset Hou Maning was enjoying singing and dancing with a beautiful maid in his arms.

He couldn't help frowning and said: "What are you so nervous about?

Just calm down and tell me."

The herald's face was livid, and he clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the scouts in front have received news that General Xiong Chao led 3,000 cavalry out of the city to attack Lin Muyu's Gendan Camp, and the entire army was destroyed."

"What are you saying again?"

Marquis Xiyang pushed the maid away from his arms and stood up, the fat on his face trembling.

The herald said tremblingly: "The news is conclusive that General Xiong Chao's three thousand cavalry were completely destroyed.

Lin Muyu led the Longdan Battalion with approximately five thousand troops and is still entrenched in Xingjue City and has not left."

"Lin Muyu, the Imperial Eagle Dog" Marquis Xiyang suddenly slapped the armrest of the seat, with a look of resentment on his face, and said: "This idiot Xiong Chao suffered such a disastrous defeat.

If this news reaches the ears of Da Dutong, what shame will we have in Xunbai Province?"

"People, please order Ding Xi to lead the army out of the city and surround Xingjue City.

If Lin Muyu dares to let all my troops be destroyed, I will retaliate in kind."

On the side, Lu Zhao stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Sunset Marquis does not only have Ding Xi as marshal.

Why doesn't your Majesty send his generals 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 Gentian camp only has 5,000 troops, so there is nothing to be afraid of, so let Ding Xi handle this matter, and you and I will wait for Lin Muyu That’s the head.”

"Yes, you are wise."

Three days later, Ding Xi led an army of 50,000 people out of the steel protective wall and surrounded Xingjue City.

"Brother, it's you who said you should leave or not.

You stayed for so long.

It's better now.

You can't leave even if you want to."

Qin Yan held up his spear and looked at Lin Muyu complainingly.

Lin Muyu looked far away and said with a smile, "It's okay."

"You're still laughing?"

Qin Yan said angrily: "I'm afraid we really won't be able to leave this time.

These 50,000 troops are commanded by Ding Xi, one of the seven commanders of the Yihe Kingdom in Lingnan.

Ding Xi is well versed in the art of war.

This He will definitely not let us go."

"Don't worry."

Lin Muyu's eyes were stern and he said: "If Ding Xi leads the troops to besiege Xingjue City, then we will definitely be able to get out."

"Commander, how do you say this?"

Wei Qiu asked in confusion.

Lin Muyu pointed at the Yihe army a few miles away from the city and said, "Look, Ding Xi divided the 50,000 men and horses into four equal groups, one man and horse in each direction, which means that there are only 10,000 taels in each direction.

There are more than a thousand people, most of whom are infantry, and our Gentian Battalion has five thousand heavy cavalry.

Just imagine, can ten thousand infantry stop the breakout of five thousand heavy cavalry?

If I were Ding Xi, I would bring at least one hundred thousand People and horses are coming.”

"You mean Ding Xi has no murderous intention?"

"Well, let's wait for the news."

"yes" At this moment, a letter bird suddenly fell from the sky.

Wei Qiu took it out and took out the letter.

He raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Commander, Cangnan Province sent a battle report.

Xiang Yu succeeded in the night attack last night.

He used the handle of the catapult to load the beech The oil barrels were shot into the Qinling Pass, and the fire attack was victorious, and all the Qinling Passes in Cangnan Province were captured from the hands of the demons. " Qin Yan said in surprise: "If this is true, it only takes two days and one night for Xiang Yu's cavalry to reinforce our Xingjue City.

Send a feather letter to Xiang Yu and ask him to come for reinforcements."

Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh: "Ayan, do you think Xiang Yu will be so kind as to send troops to rescue us?

No, please send a letter back to the imperial capital and inform us of the situation here."

"Um."

What everyone didn't expect was that Ding Xi laid siege and refused to attack.

He didn't launch an attack for five days, as if he wanted to use up the energy and food of the Gentian Battalion.

But what everyone expected was that, Xiang Yu really didn't have the slightest intention of sending troops to rescue him.

He just sat back and watched the Gendan Battalion being surrounded by the Yihe Kingdom in Xingjue City from a distance.

Lanyan City.

Qin Yin was dressed in a majestic robe, with her legs together and leaning on the seat.

She opened the feather book in her hand and read it word by word.

Her expression was focused, but she was also unparalleled.

She could see the young man among the ministers.

The men swallowed their saliva one by one, but did not dare to think anything wrong.

Even Tang Lu, Tang Tian and others looked at Qin Yin's beauty, thinking about it, but they knew that they had no chance at all.

Qu Chu stood beside the empress and said calmly: "Ayu is besieged in Xingjue City.

What do you think should be done?"

Qin Yin also raised her pretty face, looked at the ministers and said: "Lingdan Camp is besieged by Xing Jue City.

Which general is willing to go to Dixing Province and lead troops to relieve the siege of Gentian Camp?"

Tang Lan clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, Lin Muyu underestimated the enemy and was surrounded because of their aggressive advance.

I think this is a trick of the Yihe rebels.

They will definitely arrange heavy troops to intercept and kill our reinforcements in the north of Xingjue City.

In my opinion, It’s better to send Yu Shu to Commander Yu to break out of the encirclement, as long as he can come out, and Commander Yu has unique skills, I believe he will be able to come out alive.”

Qin Yin frowned slightly: "Do you have any other suggestions?"

"Yes."

Su Muyun clasped his fists and said, "Pingnanhou Xiang Yu has led an army of 100,000 to capture the Qinling Pass in Cangnan Province.

It takes at most two days of cavalry travel from Qinling to Xingjue City.

Pingnanhou at least has the control With thirty thousand cavalry, I believe we can break the siege of Xing Jue City with a surprise attack of thirty thousand cavalry.”

Tang Lan couldn't help laughing: "Yun Gong is joking.

Not to mention that the Lingbei army entered Lingnan and they were unfamiliar with the place.

Ding Xi alone would not be so easy to deal with.

Ding Xi is not a person with a false reputation.

He must be well-prepared.

Besides, General Xiang Yu's place is short of food and it is late autumn, so the soldiers need to change into cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, which all takes time. " "Yeah" Su Muyun squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "But don't forget, Mr.

Lan.

The two provinces close to the Qinling Mountains in the empire's territory, Cangnan Province and Dixing Province, are all people of Mr.

Lan.

If you don't send people to Rescue Commander Yu, do you want to watch the late emperor’s adopted son be stained with blood on the battlefield, and watch the empress lose her only brother?”

Tang Lan groaned and said: "How about this?

I will immediately send a feather letter to Tang Xi, the general guarding Lengxing City, and order him to mobilize all the imperial troops in Dixingxing Province and leave Mosong Pass to rescue Commander Yu."

"Tang Raid" Su Yu frowned and said, "Tang Xi has been in battle for a long time, so I'm afraid he may not be Ding Xi's opponent."

"Then who else can fight?"

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 surrounded, Xiang Yu stayed still, Feng Jixing defended the imperial capital, and Yao Yuan was responsible for guarding Dao.

Along the river, there was really no one around.

When everyone was silent, Qin Yin stood up slowly, pressed the hilt of his sword, and said lightly: "In this case, Xiao Yin can only go to Xingjue City in person.

Feng Jixing obeyed the order and immediately mobilized the forbidden army.

All the cavalry inside, come with me to Xingjue City."

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

Su Muyun was stunned: "Your Highness, you must not do this.

How can you be involved in danger if you are rich in gold?

Not to mention there are countless Yihe rebels and demons in Lingnan.

Your Highness must not leave the imperial capital."

Qin Yin smiled slightly: "Grandpa, please don't worry, Xiao Yin is sensible, I know what to do and what not to do."

On the side, Qu Chu said calmly: "Master Yun, please relax.

Your Highness has improved a lot in cultivation and has entered the third level of heaven.

Besides, the old minister will follow His Highness to Lingnan.

With Feng Jixing's help, even Luo Lan's personal presence can ensure His Highness's safety."

Su Muyun sighed helplessly: "Okay, Su Yu, you can mobilize 30,000 iron cavalry from the Iron Blade Army and go out with His Highness, waiting for your deployment."

"Yes, father" Su Yu looked happy.

At the same time, news came from Bailing City.

After a fierce battle with the Demon Thunder Chong Army for half a month, Long Qianlin's Dragon Cavalry Army was defeated and lost nearly half of its strength.

Qin Huan's 70,000-strong army was also rushing to kill them.

Nearly half of them were killed by the armored demon army, and the Yihe army retreated to the south of the steel wall and retreated to seclusion without fighting.

To the north of the steel protective wall, it once again became the territory occupied by the demons
