"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

~

The sound of war drums came from all directions, and Sergeant Liang was immediately confused. Where on earth are there enemies?

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

…

A long series of horns sounded, that was the horn of attack!

Zhu Youqian put on his armor meticulously, and a question arose in his mind. With the 50,000 Qi troops wandering outside Fengxiang City, they dared to divide their troops to attack the camp?

No, it should be a bluff!

With the strength of the Qi Kingdom, the most they can do is cooperate inside and outside to fight against the defenders in Fengxiang City.

After all, even if you include the strength of the Fengxiang City defenders, they only amount to one hundred thousand.

One hundred thousand troops is indeed a number that can shake the 300,000-strong army in Liang, but it is definitely not something that can be won on a frontal battlefield, let alone divided into two groups.

However, what if Qi State really has reinforcements?

Zhu Youqian instantly thought of Meng Zhixiang who helped Li Xingyun defeat Feng Xingxiang.

After the Shu army annihilated Feng Xingxi, they stationed themselves in Chang'an, the former capital of the old Tang Dynasty, and made no moves after that.

If it was Chang'an, which was once so prosperous, there might be a reason for Meng Zhixiang to be attached to it.

But today's Chang'an is an abandoned city. The people in the city and surrounding areas have all ten houses and nine empty houses. They have all been moved to Luoyang. They are also deeply affected by smoke and fire. They have long lost the prosperity of the past. Meng Zhixiang will definitely not be satisfied with this. of.

Even if Meng Zhixiang has no ambitions, he must at least regain some of the capital to dispatch a hundred thousand troops!

Otherwise, what would a shrewd person like Meng Zhixiang do?

There is no doubt that Zhu Youqian is skeptical about this.

If there are also Shu troops attacking the camp this time, it means that Daliang's few advantages are diminishing, and it will be really tricky.

Finally putting on his head armor, Zhu Youqian opened the curtain and walked out of the camp.

The two guards at the door were still guarding the entrance of the camp conscientiously. On normal days, Zhu Youqian would often smile and nod to them to show their dedication.

But now Zhu Youqian had no intention of looking at them twice.

There was no way, time was too tight and he could no longer pay attention to these small things.

Let people inform the generals in the camp to stabilize the morale of the troops and complete the transformation of the camp's defense structure as soon as possible.

Then Zhu Youqian hurried to Zhu Youzhen's tent and saw Zhu Youzhen lying on the lap of a flowery, but extremely gentle woman. Her eyes were closed, her expression was extremely enjoyable, and she seemed especially peaceful, as if she was not listening to the drums outside. , the sound of the trumpet fell on deaf ears.

In fact, he knew that woman Zhu Youqian. She was Zhu Youzhen's personal maid named Shi Yao.

I saw this woman at this time, her hands gently circling Zhu Youzhen's ears, as if massaging, while Zhu Youzhen followed Shi Yao's palms and slid them back and forth around her ears, her expression became more and more comfortable, and she was enjoying it very much. .

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youqian clenched his fists slightly.

Zhu Youzhen is the emperor of Daliang. As long as he can take good care of his body, it's okay to relax properly. But now is the critical moment of Daliang's life and death. Is it really good to relax like this without hearing anything outside the window?

After Zhu Youqian thought for a moment, his clenched fists naturally unfolded.

He knew that this moment was not a good time to have a tense relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Taking a step forward, Zhu Youqian bowed slightly towards Zhu Youzhen and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Youqian, has met the Emperor!"

Although Zhu Youqian had no intention of stalemate the relationship between monarch and minister, he still raised his voice loudly.

The woman Shi Yao obviously discovered him as soon as he entered the camp, but she had no intention of waking Zhu Youzhen up.

If you have no choice, you can only speak on your own.

Zhu Youqian's voice was so loud that Zhu Youzhen was woken up after all.

On Shi Yao's lap, he turned over sideways and opened his eyes, which were no longer the original scarlet color.

Because of the good rest, the bloodshot eyes have been reduced a lot, leaving only a small amount of bloodshot particles floating in them.

His overall complexion has also improved a lot, but there is a stubble on his mouth that has not been repaired for a while, making him look a little decadent.

As Zhu Youzhen woke up, Shi Yao wisely let go of his hand.

Suddenly, the deafening sound of war drums and the soul-stirring sound of horns rushed into Zhu Youzhen's ears.

These noisy sounds merged into his brain in an instant, and Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt as if his brain was about to explode.

He covered his head with both hands, his face became ferocious, and his eyes that were still clear suddenly became filled with blood.

"Witch, what did you do to the emperor?"

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's sudden abnormality, Zhu Youqian's eyes suddenly burst into tears. His facial features, which were not very beautiful, suddenly looked more ferocious than Zhu Youzhen's. His angry roar was even more impressive than the sound of war drums outside. .

Shi Yao pursed her lips lightly and did not answer Zhu Youqian. She just gently pinched her fingers and placed them on Zhu Youzhen's temples, rubbing them gently and with moderate intensity, while humming a song softly in her mouth.

After just a while, Zhu Youzhen calmed down, her painful symptoms were relieved, her face looked much better, the bloodshot eyes in her eyes instantly dissipated a lot, and she looked much clearer.

To be honest, in this situation, anyone can tell that there is something wrong with this woman Shi Yao.

But Zhu Youzhen seemed to have a problem with his knowledge in this regard. Not only did he not doubt Shi Yao, but he relied on Shi Yao's hand to press his temples, and greedily sucked the scent of Shi Yao's hand as if he had survived the disaster. .

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Youzhen seemed intoxicated, immersed in the songs, as if she was isolated from the world by Shi Yao's side, and she was not at the same latitude as the world with the noisy war drums.

"Your Majesty, this witch..."

"Um?"

Before Zhu Youqian finished speaking, he felt Zhu Youzhen's eyes piercing him like needlepoints.

"Your Majesty, Qi and Shu should have united!"

In desperation, Zhu Youqian had no choice but to skip Shi Yao's matter and talk about the current emergency.

"Are the Qi and Shu troops attacking the camp outside?"

Although Zhu Youzhen only felt a splitting headache just now, she could still understand what the sound of war drums was.

"Yes!" Zhu Youqian nodded.

"What is the total strength of the Qi army and the Shu army?"

Zhu Youzhen gently held Shi Yao's palm with both hands and continued to ask.

"No more than 150,000!"

Zhu Youqian was very sure of this. This was the result of Feng Xingxi's testing with his life.

"Then Yugyeom thinks we can win?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at Shi Yao's hand with blurred eyes, but she was talking to Zhu Youqian.

"Victorious!"

Zhu Youqian said decisively.

"How long will it take to break the city?"

Zhu Youzhen asked again, this was the issue he was concerned about.

"Three days!"

Zhu Youqian lowered his head and replied, "Three days is the day when the army's food and grass are exhausted. If the food and grass cannot be replenished after three days, then they will only be able to drink water in the next few days, and then they will completely run out of food and ammunition in a few days." Absolutely.

It can be considered a last-ditch battle!

Of course, this can only be regarded as a last-ditch effort by Liang Jun’s leadership.

They didn't dare to disclose the fact that they were running out of food and grass. The amount of food and grass was kept strictly confidential even in the camp and was heavily guarded.

It can be said that in this bad era, if you dare to say that you have no food, these soldiers can turn around and throw themselves into the enemy camp, where they will eat and drink enough and have enough strength to fight you.

It sounds like no one joins the army these days just to earn a living.

In short, in one sentence, if you dare to cut off food, I will surrender.

And the reason why Jiang Yunqing knew that as long as he defended for three days, Liang Jun would be defeated without attacking when Liang Jun ran out of food, but he still asked Chu and Shu to send troops to attack the camp at a huge profit, in order to defeat Liang Jun in advance. The empty granary in the camp caused Liang Jun to lose his morale in advance.

But why not spread rumors? Oh my, I was wrong. Why not spread facts?

In fact, Jiang Yunqing also tried to spread the news about the lack of food and grass among Liang Jun, but he did not get any good feedback. Not to mention, he also exposed several spies who had finally been placed in. It was really not worth the gain.

Moreover, there were some capable people among Liang Jun. The news was not spread well and was strangled in the cradle in advance.

There is no way, people these days believe that seeing is believing.

In this case, let Liang Jun see with his own eyes how his food and grass were burned.

The 50,000 Qi army led by Liu Zhijun and the 100,000 Shu army led by Meng Zhixiang did not do anything behind the scenes, and directly launched a charge towards Liang Jun's camp.

Because this was the moment when Liang Jun's camp changed its defense method, the defense of the crossbowmen was temporarily separated and not oriented.

Therefore, there is no good way to restrain the charging Shu and Qi troops at this time. The only way is for the shield hand to step forward to resist.

It was no longer the rough wooden shield that was improvised in Luzhou, but a large shield made of fine iron.

The fine iron shields are arranged in a row in front, and each shield is supported by at least four or five people. Behind it is a row of spearmen, who poke their heads out from the gap above the shield to prevent players with extremely long motor nerves. Breakout from above.

The following crossbowmen were organized together and gradually gathered behind the shield bearer.

The cavalry at the forefront of the Qi Army and Shu Army separated from the left and right in front of the shield formation. Arrows were continuously shot from their bowstrings. They used projectiles. The thick shield wall was useless in front of them, and they directly attacked the shield. Liang Jun behind the wall.

But for that shield wall, the cavalry still chose to stay away. There was no way. This kind of shield wall could effectively restrict even the charge of heavy cavalry, let alone the cavalry belonging to the light cavalry. , if it hits the top, at most it will only make a sound with your life.

The cavalry restrained the Liang army behind the shield wall, and then the formation was left to the infantry who came after them.

The shield was too heavy and seemed very inflexible. The shield wall did not give the spearmen behind them enough space to counterattack, so they could only watch the shieldmen wrestling with the infantry of the Qi Army and the Shu Army.

Occasionally, I could find a gap to poke out from between the shields to fight back. I don't know whether I hit someone or not. Anyway, the spear was taken away by someone. I really don't understand who is the bandit.

The two sides reached a stalemate, and the cavalry harassed them from the side, trying to delay the gathering of Liang Jun's crossbowmen as much as possible.

The most lethal weapon on the battlefield of cold weapons is undoubtedly the crossbow. In an era before hot weapons appeared, the crossbow was undoubtedly a lethal weapon on the battlefield.

When the current surges to a certain level, theoretically no matter how thick the dam is, it will be washed away.

In the end, the Shu army and the Qi army won the battle.

The shield wall fell down, and the shield hand behind Liang Jun was directly smashed to death by the big shield. Even those who were still breathing were no doubt almost turned into meat patties after being trampled by countless Shu troops from above.

Since then, both sides have begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

A battle between ordinary soldiers is naturally impossible to be like a battle between martial arts masters. After dozens or hundreds of rounds, there will be no wounds, and after the fight, there will be some business bragging.

Here, there is only the most primitive life-and-death struggle, just like humans and beasts in ancient times. Before taking action, they all have their own escape routes, but once they start taking action, they can only fight to the death.

The battlefield is chaotic, white blades go in and red blades come out, and blood is spilled without distinction between you and me. Everyone's adrenaline was pumping and pain was forgotten.

At this time, the only thing that can determine victory is morale and numerical superiority.

It is naturally impossible for generals to focus on the personal bravery and morale of their soldiers as factors that determine the victory of a war, because these things are manifestations of personal psychology and are often unpredictable.

If conditions permit, it is undoubtedly the most stable to use more to defeat less.

For a general, under reasonable circumstances, it is professional quality to develop the ability to defeat the few with more.

Zhu Youqian thought so, so he withdrew most of the troops from the east and rushed to the battlefield to support the south and north, where the Shu and Qi armies attacked the camps.

There is no way, their main purpose is to break the city, and the siege force cannot be reduced, so they can only mobilize the troops from the east.

This situation was exactly what Jiang Yunqing wanted to see.

After the troops from the east of Liang Jun's camp were mobilized, the Chu army, which had been lying in wait for a long time, finally moved out. What they were waiting for was the moment when Liang Jun's troops were mobilized.

Fengdu led the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry to appear in the Chu army's camp. The dark armor wrapped the whole body of each cavalryman. Under the dim sky, the momentum seemed even more menacing.

Fengdu, who had been wandering behind Liang Jun, became the leader. It was he who led the Chu army to Fengxiang, and his mission this time was to help the Chu army attack the camp and burn down Liang Jun's granary.

Ma Yin looked at the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry with great envy. For a person in charge of an army, there is no one who dislikes heavy cavalry.

But unfortunately, this thing is expensive, and money is everywhere.

Moreover, this thing is useless if there are few people, and it is really unaffordable to support more people.

Ma Yin could only sigh secretly, and at the same time lament that Qi country was really rich.

"Boom~"

The ground shook and the mountains shook, and the figure of Fengdu Ghost Cavalry appeared not far from Liang Jun's camp, sweeping over with unrivaled momentum.

Sergeant Liang quickly shouted: "The enemy is attacking!"

"Enemy attack~"
