It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 959

Sooner or later it will get to this point.

Li Xingzai understood this, and Ye Yuanhuo also understood in his heart.

The key is that the Jiangnan Army does not have the ability to fight head-on with the Rong. In the past battles, Li Xingzai used a lot of intrigues and tricks, and he really did a good job in this regard, which caused a lot of trouble to the Rong family.

But it is limited to this, the loss of the Rong family is still affordable. The Rong army gradually advanced, pulling out the enemies on the periphery of Luofeng City. After that, a siege of Luofeng City was formed.

The Rong people have had a lot of experience in sieging cities. For them, there are ways to bring down Fengcheng.

The key is how much to pay.

Li Xingzai gathered a lot of troops in Luofeng City, and had enough food and forage, and set up a battle to fight with Nohara Huo Ming Dao Ming.

The two of them can be said to be from the same family, and they have been in the Toad Village for a long time. This contest is to see what each of them has learned. The winner of this battle will have the opportunity to claim the only chair.

After unplugging the two unsightly existences of Qinglong Village and Baihu Village, Ye Yuanhuo had cut off the connection between Luofeng City and the periphery, and then gathered forces and officially launched an attack on Luofeng City.

Now, the Rong clan has mastered the absolute initiative, and they can take their time and come up with various ways to break down Luofeng City.

The four sides of the city wall were surrounded, and the main attack of the Rong tribe was still at the west gate.

The trebuchets opened up, excavated nearby rocks for ammunition, and almost emptied a hill. On the day of the war, the stone bullets flew horizontally, like a rain of stones falling from the sky.

The defenders of the city were united, desperately resisting the attack of the Rong tribe. Even though they blocked the first wave of the Rong tribe's attack, they paid a heavy price for it.

How could there be an invincible city in the world? As long as no cost, no human life is spared, and enough time is given to them, any city will always be breached this day.

In this battle of defending the city, the Jiangnan Army's performance was nothing short of heroic. But in the face of this inevitable defeat, it is inevitable that everyone will panic.

In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xingzai was admiring the ink landscape painting on the wall.

In the picture, the fisherman is fishing, and the mist and rain are about to come to the future, which makes people read with a kind of meaning of going out of the dust.

On the table was a letter just sent by the Rong tribe, written by Ye Yuanhuo in his own handwriting - Li Xingzai could confirm this, but it was not because of Ye Yuanhuo's handwriting. He has been with Ye Yuanhuo for a long time and knows him very well. Ye Yuanhuo, who has hardly read any books, does not recognize a few large characters, that is to say, he was admitted to the literacy class in Toad Village.

The sentences in the letter were inconsistent, full of typos, and simply gross. But rough, often also means sincere. In this letter, Ye Yuanhuo rarely moved his true feelings.

He recalled the experience of getting along with Li Xingzai. At that time, it was not too much for the two to say that they lived and died together.

Although on Fox Nagisa, it is said that the past is written off, but the word love is often the most difficult to calculate.

A dear friend who once died, but now draws his sword to face each other, and even Li Xingzai feels a little lost in his heart.

The meaning of the letter was that Ye Yuanhuo was willing to leave Li Xingzai alive. He listed three strategies for attacking the city, each of which could break the city. Right now, Li Xingzai was sure to lose, so he should have surrendered early.

He was willing to carve out a place to make Li Xingzai his own king. First, he was worried about the feelings of the past, and secondly, he could keep the incense of the Li family.

Regarding the three strategies he proposed, Li Xingzai seriously thought about it and did not deny that it was indeed effective.

A doomed situation...

The conditions he put forward are not unkind, and his feelings are not insincere, but they just let Li Xingzai open the door and surrender...

Does the Empire lack a surrendering emperor? At that time, Emperor Ming negotiated peace with the Rong tribe twice, and the face of the empire plummeted. Li Letian and the Xiangfu secretly communicated songs, but in the end they were slowly overridden. Even Li Xingzai had to compromise.

But it has come to this day, when he left Beijing on a white horse and came to Luofeng City alone. He met Qi Jiguang first, and then got help from Cao. Sweeping out the pirates, going north to fight the Rong, getting the help of the King of the East Sea, defeating Li Xing and taking his place...

Piece by piece, it is not too much to say that it was drowning in blood, and stepping on the blade.

Why do you have to work so hard to suffer these storms?

In the quiet room, Li Xingzai pondered for a long time. If you just want to be a Prince of Peace and live a lavish life, when there is an easier way, there is no need to go this far.

Always want to do something.

In the city of Chang'an, we saw that officials were incapacitated, and corrupt officials were rampant. In the territory of Youzhou, the feudal lords were seen to be separate, and they were obedient to Wang Fayang. At the northwest frontier, seeing that the military was weak, the Rong tribe slaughtered the people of the empire recklessly. Seeing the people is not easy to live, life is ruined...

Always want to do something.

Until today, I have soldiers and loyal civilians and military generals. Although he didn't have the upper hand compared to the Rong tribe, he always had the qualifications to wrestle with the Rong tribe.

The overall situation of heaven and earth, how the final trend will be, no one can tell. An insignificant move now may affect the final outcome.

Li Xingzai was anxious and apprehensive, but it would not be easy for him to give up what he had worked so hard for.

In this way, Ye Yuanhuo is a little naive in this matter. He took the love that he once took too seriously, and also took Li Xingzai's determination too lightly.

After thinking for a long time alone, Li Xingzai walked out of the study.

In the hall, Qi Jiguang was waiting for his decision to see how to respond to the Rong clan.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Rong family built four high platforms outside the city. Once the high platforms are built, I am afraid that our army will have no chance of winning."

Qi Jiguang was also uneasy at the level of the war. Knowing that it is the end of defeat, how to let the soldiers charge into the battle.

Li Xingzai slowly said four words: "Kaicheng decisive battle."

Qi Jiguang was startled, raised his head and saw Li Xingzai's burning eyes. He was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Passive defense in the city is sure to defeat, of course, going out of the city and fighting against the Rong tribe may not have much chance of winning.

But at least there is room for a little struggle. Isn't Li Xingzai struggling to get to where he is today?

The Rong people captured countless people and built several high platforms outside the city for them. Even a little higher than the city wall, the soldiers fired arrows on the city wall, really unscrupulous.

This time, when the Rong tribe decided to attack, they suddenly saw the city gates open, and the Jiangnan Army lined up to fight with the Rong tribe under the city.

The first was a white horse. Li Xingzai was of a military clan, holding a golden spear and a big flag flying behind him.

On the top of the city, Qi Jiguang was in command, and he ordered the three armies in his hand.

After seeing this scene, Ye Yuanhuo was also surprised. He didn't expect any effect from his letter, but if he could save Li Xingzai's life, he was still willing to let him live.

However, even so, he underestimated Li Xingzai's determination and courage.
