The flames of war changed the plans of Xie Jue and Xie Xun. Both of them looked very serious. Xie Jue and Xie Jue both put on their armors and returned to Ningzhou overnight. Xie Jue also went back with Xie Xun. Xie Jue told Feng Yu to be in charge of Xizhou.
, supplying grain, grass and military supplies, sent Xue Yu to Jiaozhou, and after the heavy snow melts, gather the prefects from all over the country to stabilize people's hearts. The spring plowing plan remains unchanged. Before the war situation in Ningzhou does not get worse, all plans for the twelve states should not be stalled.
Feng Yu knew the seriousness. The Twelve States had just been stable for a few years, but war broke out again. Although she was panicked, she would not panic. Feng Yu had built the Twelve States to this day and had her own operating model.
"Second brother, Zhixu, don't worry about the luggage." Feng Yu gritted her teeth, "I will definitely guarantee the supply."
Ningzhou's baggage preparations have always been sufficient, with grain, grass, clothing, quilts, and weapons all stored. The war in winter consumes a lot of baggage, and Feng Yu knows it well. The food production areas in Xizhou can now supply Ningzhou's cavalry, and they will all be replaced during the war.
There is no problem with ensuring the supply of food crops, weapons and tanks, but the only worry is the supply of winter cotton clothes and medicines.
Xie Xun said, "Don't panic. We have practiced countless times. Believe me, I can win this battle!"
"You have to be careful!" Feng Yu and Xie Xun met in Kyoto and fell in love in the Twelve States, but they never worried about him being injured on the battlefield. During this time, the war subsided and everyone was recuperating. When Xie Xun was suppressing the bandits, she
She didn't even know what fear was, but now she was about to fight against Dugu Jing's two armies, and Feng Yu was terrified.
Xie Xun is not the kind of coach who only gives orders and does not go to the battlefield. He is a coach who takes the lead and rushes to the front line when something happens. She is particularly afraid that something will happen to Xie Xun.
Farewell is imminent, Feng Yu will not reveal her worries, but Xie Xun can see through her fear, he hugs Feng Yu, "Ayu, don't be afraid, take good care of Ruyi."
He didn't even make a promise.
He knows that promises are the most elusive and illusory things. The battlefield is changing rapidly and no one knows what will happen in the next second. Every generation of men in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is a brave and capable general.
They all died in battle!
He knew it, and Feng Yu knew it too, so promises could not appease Feng Yu's heart.
With smoke rising everywhere and a hasty farewell, Xie Jue and Xie Xun left Xizhou at night.
Zhongzhou.
Fang Chuning was dug up in his sleep, climbed up the city wall, and saw the smoke not far from Jiaozhou. Fang Chuning's heart beat wildly, and he sent someone to send a message to Marshal Fang.
Ting Feng really had a plan and figured out that Sang Nan wanted to unite the imperial court and attack the twelve states. Sang Nan was prosperous and wealthy and would not fight an unprepared battle. Once Sang Nan sent troops, the Northern Barbarians would definitely cooperate with the attack. This is
They had planned long ago to attack the Twelve States from the south and the north. Tingfeng killed Han Ziqi to resolve the crisis. Sang Nan did not dare to cross the Yangtze River to attack the Twelve States. The Northern Barbarians had just rested for a few years. If not
Sang Nan cooperates and will definitely not send troops.
Why did the Northern Barbarians still send troops?
Did King Sangnan conceal Han Ziqi's death and did not inform the Northern Barbarians, so the Northern Barbarians sent out troops as planned, and King Sangnan borrowed the sword to kill people, or... Han Ziqi's death could not stop King Sangnan from sending troops?
He hit the city wall hard with one hand, causing a dull pain in the bones of his hand.
"Tingfeng..." Fang Chuning was restless and anxious. Now he only hoped that Sang Nan would not send troops and that the northern barbarians would take a step back after hearing the news.
The smoke will soon subside.
Zhou Buyan also came up to the tower, "Master, the generals asked you to go back to discuss matters. The Northern Barbarians have raised troops. They want to send troops to attack Ningzhou."
"What?" Fang Chuning suspected that he was hallucinating. He held the hilt of the sword in his hand. Although he was smiling, his murderous intent was revealed. "Tell me, who suggested it."
Ningzhou City!
The Northern Barbarian army came to the city and had been attacking the city for four consecutive days. They could not take it for a long time. Although Xie Xun and Xie Jue were not in the city, the Ningzhou cavalry was gathered by generals, led by Generals Cui and Chen. They had practiced in Ningzhou countless times.
We have rich experience in city defense warfare, and the main force of Ningzhou cavalry is also in the city, so the situation is not too bad.
Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing, Zhou Liyu and others came back faster than Xie Jue and Xie Xun. They set off back to Ningzhou when they saw the smoke. Now in the Twelve Prefectures, except for the troops in Jiaozhou and Yancheng, the Ningzhou cavalry saw
Langyan, led by the generals from various prefectures, rushed back on horseback, and they could all gather in Ningzhou within four days.
"After waiting for so many years, I finally have a chance to fight the Northern Barbarians." Zhang Boxing seemed particularly excited. He, Lin Xiao, and Zhou Liyu were good at archery and were assigned to the third team of archers on the city wall. The archers were divided into ten teams in total.
After one team finished shooting, another team was replaced. Arrows rained from the sky and they rushed towards the Northern Barbarian army. The Northern Barbarian cavalry charged again and again, but were forced back again and again. There was a river of blood outside the moat.
"Protect yourself!" Lin Xiao's face was solemn. The Northern Barbarians' offensive was too fierce and they were not afraid of life and death. The battle situation was extremely cruel.
There were heavy casualties on the city wall of Ningzhou. The Northern Barbarians' siege engines kept hitting huge rocks on the city wall. Bows and arrows made of kerosene and red sandstone shot like rain at the city wall defenders. Lin Xiao watched helplessly as a huge boulder hit the archery team.
, three people could not escape, and were smashed to pieces. Blood and mutilated limbs flew in front of his eyes. Bows and arrows whizzed past his ears. The excitement of the battle at the beginning was cooled by the corpses and blood.
The most difficult thing they have faced in the past few years is the collapse of rocks during road construction, and soldiers were buried. They have never seen such a tragic situation. The city wall was smashed, leaving two gaps, the beacon tower in the city was smashed, and the walls were broken.
The kerosene was burned at the top of the city, which was put out. The wounded soldiers were carried down, and soldiers moved forward to make up for it. The archers suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Lin Xiao looked at the city. It was extremely windy and snowy in Ningzhou, and the wilderness was vast. The Northern Barbarians were wearing red armor and riding fierce horses to form a long formation under the city. They continued to extend back with no end in sight. In front of the square formation were the Northern Barbarian flags.
Flying in the wind, it is majestic, with siege engines in front, archers following, and then cavalry charging, with a brave momentum.
They were tireless, fearless of life and death, and tried their best to capture Ningzhou.
Outside the city, the horns of the Northern Barbarian army were blowing, war drums were beating, and the Northern Barbarians roared loudly. Countless boulders and rockets were fired at them, and the siege vehicles were getting closer and closer to the city wall.
Lin Xiao's archery team was ordered to accurately shoot the kerosene-burning arrows at the gunpowder buried in the ditch outside the city. When the gunpowder exploded, the fire exploded and the ground shook. The Northern Barbarians' horses were frightened, neighing and screaming, and many cavalrymen fell.
On the ground, he was shot by a hail of arrows from the sky.
Another round of fierce attacks by the Northern Barbarians was repulsed!
Ningzhou City has been a strong military town for hundreds of years. The city walls are tall and strong. There are traps and ambushes everywhere outside the city. After another wave of offensives was broken down, General Cui and General Chen ordered people to repair the gaps and clean up the battlefield.
