As soon as he saw Da Mei'er and Xiao Xian'er, Song Qing's eyes immediately popped out, staring straight at them, slowly showing a smile, and murmured: "Okay, okay, Cui Congsheng, you have made a meritorious service this time, directly You will be promoted to Hongguan."
Gao Xun is a court official. Hongguan is only one level lower than court official. It is already a very high official rank and a lord-level force. Hongguan is already the highest-level official position.
Cui Congsheng immediately said happily: "Thank you, king."
Song Qing was too lazy to pay attention to Cui Congsheng and took Da Mei'er and Xiao Xian'er directly to the harem.
On the south side of Sena City on the western border of the Solo Kingdom, Xiu Jie's former army launched several more attacks, with both sides suffering casualties.
The battle report reached the lord's palace in Sanya City.
After reading the battle report, Xiu Jie looked a little unhappy. It had been many days since he had failed to break through Wu's defense line. Now that Fang Yu had arrived with his troops, it would be even harder to break through.
Xiujie turned his attention to Futuo and asked, "What strategies can we use to defeat Wu Lu?"
Futuo did not support starting a war with the Song and Qing Dynasties. Now the two armies are in a stalemate and are in a dilemma. If Duan Yi brings troops to support again, he will be even more passive.
After Futuo thought about it, he said: "King, the current situation of the war seems to be favorable to us, but it is actually unfavorable."
Now Xiujie had no choice but to listen to Futuo's strategy, so he directly replied: "Tell me."
Futuo continued: "If we choose to retreat, as long as Wu Lu leads his army to pursue us, we will definitely lose a lot. If we attack, Duan Yi will bring his troops to support us, and we may not be able to win."
A lot of nonsense, not even mentioning the strategy to defeat Wu Cheng. Xiu Jie said impatiently: "Can't you just talk about the key points? How to defeat Wu Cheng."
Seeing that Xiujie was determined to attack, Futuo frowned and said, "King, it's not difficult to defeat Wulu, but the losses will be too high."
As long as he can defeat Wuju, he is still afraid of the losses. Xiujie coldly laughed at Futuo and said, "Haha, there is no loss in a war. We can make up for it when Wuju is defeated and Song Qing's city is captured."
"Official Fu Ting, please stop being secretive and tell me quickly." He Xiqing on the side couldn't help but say.
Seeing Futuo's hesitation, Lan Yao knew that this battle would not be easy and asked, "What's the difficulty?"
Futuo replied: "We need an army to break into the Song and Qing army, cut off Wu Lu and Fang Yu's army, and then concentrate all our forces to attack Fang Yu's army, and eliminate Fang Yu before Duan Yi's reinforcements arrive."
"That means we have to sacrifice part of our troops to stop Wu Lu's army." Lan Yao said.
"Yes." Futuo replied helplessly.
Hearing that there was a way to win, Xiujie immediately became happy: "Okay, who will lead the army to cut off the five steps?"
If you want to cut off Wu Lu and Fang Yujun, you must first fight in. It is impossible without a hero with high combat power. Lan Yao said: "I will do it."
When Futuo heard this, he immediately said: "No, you are the king's wife and have a high status. You must not take this risk."
Lan Yao's current combat power is not much worse than that of He Xiqing. With Lan Yao leading the army, Xiu Jie is relieved: "Well, that's right. It's up to the madam to cut off five miles."
"Yes." Lan Yao took the order and set off with two Hei Yanlian and two sword battalions.
Xiu Jie personally led about 40,000 troops, and then set out from Sanya City to attack Fang Yu's army. He also ordered Li Qun'ao to attack Wu Lu's army, assisted Lan Yao in breaking in, and then led all the troops to attack Fang Yu's army with him.
In Zhaluo City, Qiao Fu heard that Cui Congsheng had defected to Song Qing, and he was furious: "This bastard, I should have killed him if I had known."
"Report, lord, Sun Yu's army has begun to attack the city." A soldier from outside ran in and reported.
Qiao Fu was distraught and didn't know what to do. He asked anxiously: "Who is going to meet the enemy?"
Everyone below bowed their heads in silence, and a middle-aged man in his thirties came out and said, "I heard that Qin Pei is ill. Sun Yu is not serious. I'll go."
"Ma Ying, don't be careless. You are the only one with the highest combat power right now. It depends on you whether you can defend the city." Qiao Fu said with a half-helpful tone.
"Yes, lord." Ma Ying took the order and went out, mobilized the troops in the city and rushed to the tower.
On the city tower, many soldiers had fallen to the ground under the attack of Sun Yu's archers.
Ma Ying was lying on the wall of the city tower. Seeing that Sun Yu didn't have many troops, he ran down the city tower, opened the city gate, and led the army to fight out.
Sun Yu led a small army and was rushed by Ma Ying's army, so he had no choice but to retreat.
After killing Sun Yu, Ma Ying laughed: "Qin Pei's army is nothing special. They were defeated in one battle."
Sun Yu returned to the military camp and was relieved to see that Ma Ying did not chase him.
At this time, Qin Pei's order came that the city must be attacked with all strength. Sun Yu had no choice but to break out of camp and lead the army to Zhaluo City.
Seeing Sun Yu coming again, Ma Ying stood on the tower and laughed loudly and shouted: "Hahaha, the defeated army dares to come again."
Unexpectedly, Ma Ying was so arrogant, which made Sun Yu feel angry and said angrily: "If you have the guts, come down here."
"Come down, come down, don't run away like last time." Ma Ying said arrogantly, turned around and walked down the tower and out of the city gate.
"What? Are we fighting this time?" Ma Ying said provocatively, shaking the steel knife in her hand.
"Haha, just fight, come on." Sun Yu raised the steel knife and went over to kill Ma Ying.
Ma Ying blocked the sword and felt it was heavy. Knowing that Sun Yu had good fighting ability, Ma Ying smiled and said: "There are a few moments, look at the sword." He dodged Sun Yu's steel sword, turned around and slashed at Sun Yu with the sword.
Sun Yu blocked Ma Ying's steel knife, and the two men fought in front of the city gate. The two steel knives advanced and retreated. For a moment, it was difficult to distinguish the high ground. For a moment, for about six minutes, Ma Ying felt that Sun Yu's knife was getting heavier and heavier. , somewhat irresistible. After holding on for another two minutes, Ma Ying couldn't resist it at all, and beads of sweat kept bursting out from her forehead and flowing down her cheeks.
"Go to hell." Sun Yu struck hard, but Ma Ying couldn't resist and was knocked away.
Sun Yu caught up with him in two steps and slashed at Ma Ying's chest. Ma Ying barely blocked it, but his body flew forward a few meters.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the troops behind him swarmed in and rescued Ma Ying.
Ma Ying stood firm and did not expect to be unable to defeat Sun Yu. She was furious and shouted: "Kill him, kill him."
At Ma Ying's order, all the troops in the city rushed towards the city gate, crowded out of the city gate, and rushed towards Sun Yu.
"Kill." Sun Yu waved his steel sword, and the army behind him followed Sun Yu and killed him.
The two armies fought at the gate of the city. Qiao Fu felt uneasy in the city and called the guard leader in the lord's mansion: "Assemble some more troops to attack Sun Yu's rear army."
"Yes." The guard leader mobilized a guard battalion in the lord's palace, and then mobilized the last two battalions in the city, and went straight to Sun Yu's rear army.
During this siege, Qin Pei fell ill and Sun Yu had few troops, so the chance of taking the city was very small.
