Beiping.
Confederate camp.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Peiping turned into an ice city, and they couldn't attack it at all.
Not only the city gate, but even climbing to the top of the city has now become a luxury.
That's not the worst thing!
The worst thing is that the morale of the Confederate army dropped sharply and their morale was somewhat weakened.
Originally, most of the soldiers of the Southern Army were recruited from various provinces in the South. They were not adapted to the bitter cold weather in the North. In addition, there were too many people, and a huge amount of money and supplies were spent every day. The logistics and supplies battalions were already unable to hold on, and they were constantly urged. The imperial court brought grain and grass.
If the Southern Army conquered Beiping City in one go, these problems would naturally not exist.
However, they didn't, and it can even be said that they were just one step away from success!
In a bloody siege that lasted for more than a month, a total of 200,000 troops besieged Beiping City. The Southern Army suffered heavy casualties of nearly 50,000 soldiers, but they could not even defeat the city of Beiping!
How to fight this?
All the generals of the Southern Army were looking at one person with some evil eyes at this moment.
That person is none other than the commander-in-chief of the three armies sitting on the main seat, Cao Guogong, whom His Majesty the Emperor has high hopes for, Li Jinglong!
These generals had heard more or less what happened to Qu Neng.
At first they thought it was nothing, or they were happy to see it.
After all, Qu Neng, as the vanguard general, fought all the way to the outside of Beiping City. If he personally led the troops to conquer Beiping City, then he would definitely have the first victory in this battle.
Coach Li Jinglong stepped in and stopped Qu Neng. When the generals first heard the news, they really thought it was nothing.
Most of them had the same idea as Li Jinglong. Anyway, the city of Beiping was already crumbling and could be conquered at any time. Why let Qu Neng monopolize the military glory by himself?
Next, it’s time to share the fruits of victory!
However, no one expected that the Yan army would be so treacherous and caught them off guard with an ice shield.
Breaking the city of Beiping has now become a luxury.
Last time Qu Neng almost broke through the city, but was blocked by Li Jinglong. Now it has become a fatal mistake!
Yes, it’s all Li Jinglong’s fault!
If he hadn't wanted to take credit, the city of Beiping would have been destroyed long ago. How could the army be in the current predicament now?
It's all Li Jinglong's fault, he's so stupid!
Feeling the inexplicable looks in the generals' eyes, Li Jinglong was even more angry.
Doesn't he know that his current situation is embarrassing, but it's not all his fault!
Before these generals took the lead, they hinted openly and secretly that he, the coach, wanted to share the credit, and Li Jinglong was not thinking about them!
It's fine now. Whenever something goes wrong, he, Li Jinglong, will become the scapegoat!
This is really unreasonable!
"Tomorrow the Japanese commander will mobilize all his troops and storm Beiping City again!"
"I will not give up until this city is broken. All generals, go down and prepare!"
Li Jinglong said calmly, but his tone was full of no doubt.
Of course he has to break through Beiping City, and he must also break through Beiping City, otherwise he will definitely become the laughing stock of the world!
The generals also understood this truth and sighed secretly.
The next siege battle will be the most dangerous battle.
If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person. If you don't break Beiping, you won't give up!
However, at this moment, a scout rushed in.
"Commander, the Yan army has returned for reinforcements!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jinglong was so frightened that he stood up suddenly.
"What's going on? Are you sure?"
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the traitor Zhu Di personally led the army. It is roughly estimated that there are at least 300,000 troops!"
Hearing the scout's words, everyone's expressions changed, and Li Jinglong even took a breath!
King Zhu Di of Yan personally led an army of 300,000 to return for reinforcements!
That means that he, Zhu Di, really did it and collected all the Daning soldiers!
"damn it!"
"How could the situation be like this?"
Li Jinglong smashed the desk angrily, and his whole body went limp.
He knew very well that he was going to die!
King Zhu Di of Yan led an army of 300,000 to attack, and the southern army had no chance to capture Beiping City!
If he insists on attacking Beiping, he will most likely be in danger of being attacked from both sides!
With an army of 300,000 people, and all of them were elite warriors who fought and fought all year round, Li Jinglong had no confidence that he could stop them!
Damn it, Qu Neng, you mistook me!
"General, withdraw your troops!"
"Yes, General, Peiping is no longer important now, Zhu Di's army is the biggest danger!"
"If our army does not retreat and transfer the main army to Zhengcunba to block Zhu Di's army, once he cuts off our army's retreat, our army will fall into the siege of the Yan army!"
The generals of the Southern Army spoke out one after another and analyzed the current situation.
Their opinions are very unified, that is, to evacuate Beiping City and garrison Zhengcunba.
Li Jinglong's face looked uncertain for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth bitterly.
He looked at Qu Neng, who had been silent, and spoke shamelessly.
"General Qu Neng, I have left 30,000 elite troops for you. I also ask the general to put the overall situation first and make sure to capture Beiping City!"
"The rest of the troops will assemble their troops immediately and follow my commander back to Zhengcunba to face Zhu Di's army!"
Upon hearing his arrangement, the generals looked very strange, but did not say much.
Qu Neng had no expression on his face, but said with an indifferent expression: "Commander, Beiping...can't be broken!"
"The Yan Army in Peiping will naturally know the news of the Yan Army's return of reinforcements. The morale of the army will be greatly boosted and the morale of the army will be stable. It will be impossible to break it in a short time..."
"I don't care!" Li Jinglong growled angrily: "I will leave all the siege equipment to you. No matter what method you use, you must conquer Beiping City!"
"If you, Qu Neng, captured Beiping City, I will personally petition the imperial court for you and recommend you to be a Marquis!"
As soon as these words came out, Qu Neng's eyes lit up and he immediately knelt down to accept the order.
"The general will do his best to live up to the commander's trust!"
After receiving Qu Neng's answer, Li Jinglong finally felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Immediately, the main force of the Southern Army set off overnight and headed straight for Zhengcunba.
The unusual movements in the Southern Army camp quickly attracted the attention of the Yan Army in Peiping.
When they saw the densely packed main force of the Confederate army leaving, they were briefly stunned and then burst into deafening cheers.
"Withdrawal!"
"The enemy has withdrawn!"
"We held it!"
A famous soldier cried with joy, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Zhu Gaochi, Xu Miaoyun and others also hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and confirmed with their own eyes that the main force of the Southern Army had retreated. They were instantly overjoyed.
Monk Dao Yan explained excitedly: "The prince must have led his army to return for reinforcements!"
"Yes, that must be the case!" Jin Zhong also smiled.
Finally, they finally waited for this day.
Big Fatty sat down on the ground, with an expression on his face that looked like he was crying or smiling.
No one knows how much pressure he was under during this period, but now this great pressure is finally gone.
The entire city of Beiping instantly fell into jubilation, filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
Yanwang Palace, in a room.
Zhu Wanqiu seemed to be dreaming, with tears faintly streaming from the corners of her eyes.
"No!"
"Ms. sir!"
"do not go!"
The little girl woke up suddenly and realized that she had tears streaming down her face.
She had a dream, a terrible nightmare.
In this dream, Su Yang stood in front of her covered in blood, saying goodbye to her with a smile.
There are corpses all around, and the Western Mountain has turned into a piece of scorched earth, like a purgatory on earth!
"Ms. sir?"
"Su Yang!"
Zhu Wanqiu seemed to have thought of something, and stood up and rushed out.
