Now that the two armies have joined together and have sufficient strength, the best thing is to attack the city and defeat Jiang Yuxuan in one fell swoop. But Lan Yao was still saying things like wait and retreat.
Leng Yue felt that it wasn't that she couldn't beat him, but that Lan Yao didn't want to fight at all.
Since the king's wife doesn't want to fight, why should she bother herself? After all, she doesn't understand the situation in the palace, and she has no foundation in it.
Leng Yue responded "Yes." and exited the camp.
In Haotian City, Jiang Yuxuan was sitting in the city lord's mansion reviewing documents. A soldier ran in and reported: "Your Majesty, Commander Zhang Shunxiao sent a battle report, defeating Xu Gong's army again. Now Xu Gong and his army are retreating to our Haotian City."
Jiang Yuxuan took the battle report and read it carefully.
Zhang Shunxiao defeated Xu Gong twice. The first time was when the two armies faced off. Zhang Shunxiao and Xu Gong fought in front of the formation. They fought for about an hour. Xu Gong was defeated and retreated. Zhang Shunxiao followed the trend and attacked, defeated Xu Gong's army and wiped it out. Xu Gong had more than 20,000 people, and he lost more than 4,000 people. It was a great victory.
The second defeat of Xu Gong was a head-on confrontation between the two armies. The battle lasted for a full day. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Although Xu Gong's more than 50,000 troops were annihilated, he also lost nearly 40,000 troops.
Calculated this way, Zhang Shunxiao still has about 60,000 troops, and he still has about 20,000 troops in the city, a total of only 80,000 troops.
Xu Gong, Lengyue, and Lan Yao will all gather outside Haotian City. All the troops gathered together will have more than 200,000 troops.
Eighty thousand versus more than 200,000, not to mention Xu Gong and other super powerful heroes, it is impossible to win.
Jiang Yuxuan's face was pale. He had already made some arrangements in the city. As long as Lan Yao and others led the army to attack the city, they could kill them all, and then concentrate their forces with Zhang Shunxiao to attack Xu Gong. Now it seems that there is no chance.
However, the city has been well deployed and must not give up. As long as he is still in Haotian City, Xu Gong and others will definitely attack the city.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxuan's expression relaxed a little. At least in the battle of Haotian City, tens of thousands of Xiujie's troops can still be wiped out. If Xu Gong can also be wiped out, Zhang Shunxiao outside the city may still be able to fight with the remaining Xiujie's troops. war.
Now, I just hope that Luo Feng will be fine, so that even if he dies in Haotian City, Luo Feng can follow the strategy he set before and complete the great cause of unifying Central Continent.
Deep in the woods, Luo Feng led his army and fought with Xiu Jie's army many times. In the end, only more than 30 people were left hiding in a secret cave with Luo Feng.
The light in the cave was dim. Zhang Xinyi barely supported her body and leaned against the stone wall. A red-robed soldier picked up the kettle and handed it to Zhang Xinyi. He said, "Madam, there is the last bit of water here. You drink first." After I finish drinking, I’ll go out to find water.”
Xiu Jie has ordered the army to surround the woods and order the troops to search in the woods.
Going out to find water was really against his will. Zhang Xinyi gathered her strength and said with difficulty: "Give the king some water to drink. I'm fine. Don't go out to find water. It's dangerous."
Zhang Xinyi was injured, bleeding profusely, and her lips were chapped. When the red-robed soldier saw that Zhang Xinyi refused to drink water, his eyes were moist and he said, "Madam, you'd better drink. The king ordered that all this water be for Madam."
Speaking of Luo Feng, Zhang Xinyi asked: "Isn't the king back yet?"
"Yes." The red-robed soldier nodded.
There are Xiujie's troops inside and outside the woods. Although Luo Feng's combat power is extremely high, he will not be in any danger when encountering the patrol team, but his whereabouts will definitely be exposed. When Xiujie mobilizes his troops, even if Luo Feng's combat power is high, he will still be able to resist Can't help it, not to mention the number one hero in Central Continent like Xiu Jie.
Zhang Xinyi wanted to go out and find Luo Feng, but she still had reason. The forest was very big, so it would be difficult to encounter Luo Feng when she went out. On the contrary, the probability of encountering Xiu Jiejun was much higher.
When he was worried, Luo Feng came in from the entrance of the cave: "I found water, everyone come and get it."
Seeing Luo Feng coming back, Zhang Xinyi finally let go of her worries.
The few soldiers who went out with Luo Feng immediately took off their water bags and handed them to others.
It has been two days without water. During these two days, the only bag of water was given to Zhang Xinyi. Now that there is water, everyone drinks happily.
"With this water, we can hold on for a few more days."
"Yes, his combat strength has recovered a lot."
Luo Feng walked to Zhang Xinyi, checked Zhang Xinyi's wound, and said, "This wound must be treated with medicine. We must go to the city."
An entire army was almost wiped out by Xiu Jie, and all military supplies were gone. The remaining people were rushed out in a hurry and had no medicine at all.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Anyway, they would do whatever Luo Feng said, whether it was a cave or a city, it didn't matter even if they got out now.
The closest city to here is Zhaluo City. According to what Luo Feng knows so far, Zhaluo City is still under his control. Xiujie now only wants to destroy Luo Feng. Xiujie doesn't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place. .
Luo Feng looked at everyone and said, "We will set off when it gets dark."
"yes."
The flag commander of Zhaluo City stands on the city tower every day, looking at the faint mountains and woods at the end of the world in the distance.
Many battle reports came in every day, but no relevant orders for combat were received.
In the war between the two countries on the territory he was guarding, he would have nothing to do. The flag commander felt like he was abandoned, but he kept thinking about it. He did not dare to sleep at night, for fear that there would be a military emergency in the middle of the night, and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes. Like panda eyes.
"Is the king still over there in the woods?" the flag commander asked one of his battalion commanders.
"I have reliable information that Xiu Jie is still looking for our king, so the king must be fine."
The flag commander looked at the battalion commander's relaxed and cheerful speech. The important thing is that he is full of energy and does not have dark bags under his eyes. Thinking of his own dark circles, he immediately said angrily: "You go out to find out the news for me, and I will contact the king at any time."
"Ah! Me?" The battalion commander felt like he was struck by countless lightning bolts and stood there frozen.
"Go quickly." The flag leader shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes." The battalion commander immediately came to his senses and took his people out to inquire about the situation.
Not long after leaving the city, I saw a huge blackness sweeping over the flat ground outside the city, with dust flying all over the sky, covering the figures on the ground.
"What's going on?" The flag leader exclaimed, "Is someone attacking the city?"
Soon, the battalion commander who had left the city returned to the city, ran up the tower, and shouted, "Oh no, Xiujie's army is coming to kill us."
When he heard Xiu Jie's army, the flag commander's heart tightened: "It's over, the city will definitely not be able to be defended. What will happen if we lose the city?"
The most important thing is that he did not receive any combat orders. Even if he received an order to retreat, he could retreat openly.
It would be terrible if we retreated now and were accused of abandoning the city and fleeing without fighting.
