Horse on the World

Chapter 575 Chapter 570 Two: Thunderbolt from the Blue Sky

Ouyang Jianqiang can take the position of commander of the imperial forest army, commanding [-] imperial forest army cavalry. Although he has a family background, his skills are naturally top-notch. Guo Jiang Zhiqing, when will it be his turn to take this position?Guo Shanfeng is indeed strong, but Ouyang Jian is so strong that he puts his life and death at risk, and if he fights Guo Shanfeng to the death, he may not necessarily lose.

Now that Guo Shanfeng is in a high position, this kind of bare-chested fighting is done less and less, and under such circumstances, how can Guo Shanfeng be willing to fight for his life with the other party? If he really has to risk his life, he may not die .

But the world is like this, sometimes the more you want to die, you won’t die, you desperately want to live, try your best to avoid the pursuit of death, but die faster.Ouyang Jianqiang was like this. He put down his dignity and bowed his knees to surrender. At night, Jiang Heiniu tied his hands and feet and dragged him to a secluded place. Four or five first-grade bows shot together, and the sharp arrows easily shot Ouyang Jianqiang shot a cross from the back, and Ouyang Jianqiang who fell to the ground would never have thought that he would die in such a way.

After finishing this matter, Jiang Heiniu came to Guo Shanfeng's big tent. Guo Shanfeng was reviewing a lot of reports, looked up at Jiang Heiniu, and then lowered his head to do his own business.

"General, that matter is settled!" Jiang Heiniu whispered.

"Oh!" Kuo Shan did not lift his limelight.

"That kid wanted to escape at night, but just after he ran out of the tent, he was spotted by the soldiers patrolling the field. There was a burst of arrows, tsk tsk, that was miserable, he was tied into a hedgehog!" Jiang Heiniu said.

Guo Shanfeng raised his head, "For such a trivial matter, you still came to me overnight, and you have nothing to do! Tomorrow we are going to Yizhou, you boy, if you have nothing to do, go and rectify the military appearance and discipline. Don't disgrace our Dingzhou army in the commander's hometown."

Jiang Heiniu grinned: "General, this military appearance and discipline, even if our Dingzhou Army is not in order, it is much better than others. You, just look at it!"

With Zhou Tong as the vanguard general, Qu Yongjie as the commander, Tianqi personally supervised the battle and attacked the army defending the eastern front of Yizhou. Ten days after the outbreak of the war, the soldiers approached the city of Yizhou, and set up camp twenty miles away from the city of Yizhou. After a little rectification, they began to sweep the military fortress near Yizhou.

Unlike before, they encountered tenacious resistance in these places, and almost every fortress had to pay a huge price to force the opponent to give up defense. Even Qu Yongjie was quite shocked by the cruel battle. When clearing the periphery and preparing to attack Yizhou City, when Qu Yongjie saw the tall city walls of Yizhou City and the fortresses under the city, he felt that everything before was just a small fight, and a real cruel war would break out here. Maybe , here will become a meat grinder again.

Wartime fortresses are completely different from peacetime fortresses. In peacetime, these fortresses are at best just some stronger towers, and there is nothing special about them. But in real wartime, when those who kill people die After the equipment was installed, these ordinary city towers immediately revealed their ferocious faces, like an abyss monster, opening its bloody mouth, laughing wildly and preparing to drink blood.

The fully armed soldiers were armed with weapons and were ready for battle. Yizhou City had been preparing for this battle for a long time. Within the fortress, ordinary people had already evacuated. Rideau-wide no man's land.

Tian Qi, Qu Yongjie, Zhou Tong and others stood on a hill outside Yizhou City, looking at the heavily guarded Yizhou City, all with worried faces.

"How long will it take?" Tian Qi asked.

Qu Yongjie pondered for a while, "Your Majesty, Yizhou City has been run by the Li family for many years. Although it cannot be compared with Luoyang City in terms of its size, it can be regarded as impenetrable. From this point of view, Yizhou City is comparable to ours. The blueprints of Yizhou City obtained in the early days have changed a lot. Based on the defense group of their fortresses we have laid down in the early stage, their city defense system is completely derived from the edge protection design of Dingzhou. This kind of fortress is a meat grinder one by one. , if we want to attack them by force, our losses may be huge, if His Majesty does not blame them, I would rather trap them to death through a long siege, rather than attacking by force!"

"Is this the only way?" Tian Qi asked.

Qu Yongjie nodded, "If you want to occupy Yizhou City at a relatively low cost, this is the best way. Your Majesty, apart from the defense of Yizhou City, what is even more worrying is An Guogong Li Huaiyuan. With his overall command, we are unlikely to have any loopholes to take advantage of, so we can only fight foolishly, but attacking a city, attacking it ten times, besieging it five times, and a city defended by Duke An, the ratio may have to be increased."

"Time waits for no one!" Tian Qi sighed.

"Your Majesty, we still have to fight. We will clear the defense line of Yizhou City in advance. When we are under the city wall and can directly attack the city of Yizhou, General Zhang Aimin will also make a breakthrough from the western front. A few days ago Didn't there still be a report saying that they are less than [-] miles away from Yizhou City? At that time, we will attack from both sides, and our troops will be greatly superior. At this time, we can either encircle three or one, or encircle without fighting. , and took out a force to join the ranks of Qiu Zhi in Qingzhou, and dealt heavy damage to King Ning's southern army in advance. No matter how big Yizhou City is, no matter how well prepared it is, it is impossible to hold on for a long time. Residents outside the city were all evacuated into the city, which allowed the guards to have no worries about their future and concentrate on it, but at the same time it also greatly increased the pressure in the city, consuming, how much food could he have to support so many people for how long? Woolen cloth?"

Apocalypse nodded.

"Your Majesty, there are many cases in history where the siege took a year or two to break!" Qu Yongjie said.

Tian Qi sighed, "The Li family is all brave generals, whether it is An Guogong, Li Sizhi, Li Muzhi, or Li Zheng and Li Feng, all the generals are talented because of Li Qing. The generals of Zhushi have become the most dangerous enemies of Da Chu, if Mrs. Li is willing to be used by me, and King Ning will be wiped out, it will be a snap!"

Qu Yongjie was silent. The speed of Li Qing's rise was jaw-dropping. At the beginning, Tianqi strongly supported him, and even married him as Princess Qingcheng. All he wanted to win over Li was that he wanted Li to be used by him, but the world is unpredictable. , Li Qing actually has the great ambition to compete in the world, and what is even more frightening is that Li Qingju is a genius who has encountered chaos for a century when he governs the army and the people. King Ning has become the number one enemy of the Great Chu, and Li Qing's ambitions are obviously growing day by day. He sweeps the Lu family in the north, and the other side is also secretly planning to highlight the Central Plains and build a bridgehead to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains. To overthrow the Great Chu, under such circumstances, Tianqi had to change his previous plan, and form a confrontational situation before King Ning, so he freed up his hands and dealt with Li Qing first.

"Let's go!" With a long sigh, Tianqi quickly cleared up his mood, "Let's start the war tomorrow, we always have to fight, Yongjie, just as you said, let's fight to the bottom of the city first, fortunately Dingzhou has fallen into the city Shang Haibo, the second person in Dingzhou, has also taken refuge in me. The powerful Dingzhou army will no longer pose a threat to us. Qingcheng will let them attack Lu and Zeng first. These generals in Dingzhou are splitting up and trying to use them for me. Dingzhou Guoshanfeng, Wang Qinian, Lu Dalin, Tian Feng, Jiang Kui and other fierce generals, even if there are only one or two who join me, our strength will increase greatly!"

"Your Majesty is right!" Qu Yongjie said.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Commander Yuan has come up the mountain." Zhou Tong who was accompanying him suddenly said.

The three of them looked together and saw that Yuan Fang was galloping up the mountain road on a fast horse. Halfway through the journey, the horse could no longer go up the mountain. He staggered and nearly fell to the ground, Qu Yongjie's heart sank, he turned to look at Tianqi, Tianqi also showed surprise, you must know that Yuan Fang is not only scheming, but also has a deep city, and his martial arts is a master in this world, which is rarely seen in the world. Someone can do it, let alone on this kind of mountain road that is not steep, even in a place that is ten times more dangerous, he may not be able to fall, and it must be outstanding to make Yuan Fang's performance so bad. What a big deal.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes. What will happen at this time?

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Fang's face was pale, his eyes were red, his hands were trembling nervously, his lips were trembling, and a word was stuck in his throat, and he didn't utter it for a long time.

"What happened?" Tian Qi asked sharply.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Fang finally came along in one breath, "The Dingzhou Army did not withdraw. They reorganized in Zunhua, Quanzhou, formed a cavalry group and an infantry group, and broke into Minzhou from Zunhua. They have swept across the entire territory of Minzhou, cutting off General Zhang Aimin's retreat, and now his vanguard, Guoshanfeng, has led tens of thousands of cavalry, has broken into Jinzhou, and will soon enter Yizhou, Your Majesty, General Zhang Aimin is in danger."

Tian Qi looked at Yuan Fang in a daze, as if he had heard a huge joke, this, how could this happen?

Qu Yongjie and Zhou Tong were all shocked. If Guo Shanfeng defeated Zhang Aimin and Dingzhou's army flooded into Yizhou, they would have no chance of winning here. He controlled Dingzhou as he said, at least he did not control Xin Guowang and the two Dingzhou generals.

Qu Yongjie even thought of a worse possibility. He himself is the general in charge of the army, and he clearly knows how difficult it is to merge and reorganize the two armies of two generals who have not been subordinate to each other. Second, no one would be willing to submit to others, unless a more powerful person gave them orders, and in Dingzhou, there was only one person who was qualified to give orders to these two people and make them obey unconditionally.

That is Li Qing.

Tian Qi raised his head slowly, looked at Yizhou City, and said after a while: "Li Qing is not dead! Yizhou City is a trap, Zhang Aimin is finished."
