King Zhu Di of Yan gave an order:
Three hundred thousand Yan troops immediately launched a fierce attack.
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng each led more than 10,000 troops and quietly crossed the Baihe River while the river was freezing late at night.
Chen Hui, the outpost commander of the Southern Army, stationed here with 10,000 infantrymen in an attempt to slow down the Yan army's attack.
However, he never expected that the Yan army was so intent on killing that they would risk taking advantage of the ice on the river to forcefully cross the river!
Caught off guard, Chen Hui's troops were caught off guard. Before they could launch a counterattack, they were killed by the Yan army soldiers who came in anger, and the entire camp instantly turned into a sea of flames!
Chen Hui was so frightened that he could only lead the remaining troops to flee the battlefield in a hurry and withdraw to the main force of the southern army in Zhengcunba.
The Yan army continued to pursue the victory, and within three days they defeated the seventh battalion and penetrated all the defense lines deployed by the southern army from Gushan to Zhengcunba!
Suddenly, the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed, and the entire Beiping Mansion turned into a bloody battlefield.
Outside Peking City.
Qu Neng frowned.
He took on an errand that he shouldn't have taken.
That is to conquer Beiping City at all costs!
However, after actually attacking a few times, Qu Neng realized how wrong he was!
This remnant army in Peiping not only has high morale, but also becomes more tenacious and tenacious.
Before he could even attack the city, the enemy troops came out of the city for the first time and attacked. The two sides fought a bloody battle, but neither gained much benefit.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Southern Army suffered more serious casualties, and their morale was low and their morale was disorganized!
There is no way around this!
A total of 300,000 troops besieged Beiping City for more than a month, but they failed to capture it!
It would be strange if morale is not low and military morale is not slack!
Especially now that Yan King Zhu Di has successfully led his troops to return for reinforcements, and the news from the main battlefield seems to be that the situation is not optimistic.
The Yan army won successive victories, and the main force of the Confederate army retreated to Zhengcunba, which was a fatal blow to the morale of the Confederate army!
In other words, now the offensive and defensive momentum of the Southern Army and the Yan Army has really been reversed!
Li Jinglong and the main force of the Southern Army retreated to Zhengcunba, Qu Neng led an army of 30,000 to garrison outside Peiping City, and the whereabouts of Ping An's 50,000 army are still unknown...
Once King Zhu Di of Yan breaks through the Southern Army's defense line and besieges Li Jinglong's main force of the Southern Army at Zhengcunba, the entire Southern Army will be counter-surrounded and fall into the blockade of the Yan Army!
Now let alone conquering Beiping City, whether they can survive is still a question!
After all, the fighting power is in front of you, and the results are also in front of you!
As soon as Zhu Di came back, he won seven consecutive games and penetrated the defense!
On the other hand, our own army did not capture even a single city of Peiping!
There is no result at all!
When he thought of this, Qu Neng became very angry and punched the desk with hatred.
"Li Jinglong, you damn fool!"
"If you hadn't been stupid, I would have captured Beiping City long ago. How could we end up in this situation today?"
If the Southern Army captures Beiping City early, it will only boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army. They just need to strangle the bereaved dogs like Zhu Di's army!
But it was because Li Jinglong acted cunningly at the critical moment that they missed the best opportunity to capture Beiping City, and now they were about to be surrounded by the Yan army!
Li Jinglong is such a goddamn piece of trash!
Qu Neng cursed in a hateful voice, and Qu Neng was helpless.
"Commander, the city of Beiping is difficult to conquer!"
"Our troops can only block the Yan army in Peiping and prevent the army from being attacked from both sides!"
This is the final role of Qu Neng's department, and there is no other way.
As for whether Li Jinglong will be blamed, Qu Neng no longer cares!
Regardless of whether he wins or loses in this battle, Li Jinglong will become the laughing stock of the world and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!
What's more, if Yan King Zhu Di is really ruthless, they may not be able to get out of this battlefield alive!
Inside Peiping City.
Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Wanqiu with tears in her eyes.
Ever since she learned about Su Yang's death, the little girl fainted.
Even after she woke up, she didn't eat or drink. She just sat there blankly, neither crying nor making a fuss. Her eyes were dull and her expression was numb, like a zombie.
"Xiao Wan, I beg you for mother's sake, can you have something to eat?"
Xu Miaoyun held a bowl of rice porridge and handed it to the little girl's mouth with a spoon.
However, Zhu Wanqiu remained indifferent, or had no reaction.
Her heart is already dead.
All that is alive now is a shell.
Xu Miaoyun was about to continue persuading, but Zhu Gaochi hurried over.
"Concubine, Xiaowan, Su Yang is still alive, Su Yang is still alive!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Wanqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and their brilliance bloomed again.
She asked with an almost trembling voice: "Really...?"
Zhu Gaochi also burst into tears, with a hint of crying in his voice.
"Really, the news from the secret guard!"
"Su Yang was not killed by Ping An's arrow that day, and he still had a breath left."
"After resuscitation, Su Yang's injuries have stabilized, but... he hasn't woken up yet!"
"Doctor Xishan said that Su Yang's injuries were too serious and he lost too much blood. If he can wake up, he can save his life, but if he can't wake up..."
Zhu Gaochi did not continue speaking, but both mother and daughter understood the underlying meaning of his words.
If Su Yang can't wake up, then he really can't wake up!
But, at least there is a glimmer of hope!
Zhu Wanqiu stood up immediately and wanted to rush out.
"Xiaowan, where are you going?"
Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Gaochi were shocked and hurriedly stopped her.
"I want to go to Xishan!"
"Mother, brother, I must go to Xishan!"
Zhu Wanqiu said with tears streaming down her face.
Su Yang fought a bloody battle with the enemy in Xishan, but she was not by his side.
In the end, Su Yang was in a desperate situation and was kidnapped by the enemy. He suffered torture and humiliation, and she was not by his side.
Now that Su Yang is holding on for the last breath, she must go to Xishan to stay with him!
Even if it is, see him for the last time!
Hearing the little girl's words, Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Gaochi fell silent.
Although the Southern Army's encirclement of Peiping has long been in vain, the problem is that the entire Beiping Prefecture has now become a battlefield. The Southern Army and the Yan Army are fighting and fighting everywhere, and there are also a large number of stragglers fleeing in all directions.
Xiaowan is very likely to be in danger if she leaves Beiping City at this time!
Moreover, the troops in Beiping City were insufficient, so it was impossible to send people to escort her to Xishan.
In the current situation, Beiping City is less than a hundred miles away from Xishan, but it seems to have become an insurmountable natural chasm!
"Mom, brother, please, I must go to Xishan!"
"Even if I go to see my husband for the last time..."
Zhu Wanqiu begged with tears streaming down her face, she was already crying so much that she couldn't make a sound.
When Xu Miaoyun saw this, she could only wipe her tears secretly, holding her daughter in her arms with great distress.
Zhu Gaochi's face looked uncertain for a while, and after a long time he spoke solemnly.
"Xiaowan, you know that the current situation in Beiping is not completely out of danger yet!"
"So big brother can't send troops, but can only send a team of secret guards to escort you there!"
"And after you leave Beiping City, even if you are besieged by the Southern Army, my eldest brother will not send troops to rescue you, because my eldest brother must ensure that there is no loss in Peiping!"
"Now, do you still want to go?"
Zhu Gaochi said it very clearly, and this was also his true inner thought.
If the little sister was really in danger, he would definitely not send troops to rescue her, otherwise she would very likely fall into the trap of the Confederate Army!
Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't gamble either!
Zhu Wanqiu was startled when she heard this, and nodded heavily at random.
"I will definitely reach Xishan alive!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi and Xu Miaoyun fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed.
"Pack up and set off after dark!"
"Little sister, don't blame big brother, Beiping can't be lost!"
After saying this, Zhu Gaochi stood up and left.
He could not face his little sister, nor could he imagine the dangers that his little sister might encounter along the way.
However, he is the Crown Prince of Yan and must bear the responsibilities of the Crown Prince of Yan!
The only thing Zhu Gaochi can do now is to send a group of secret guards with high martial arts skills to try their best to protect the little sister and rush to Xishan.
