"Now it can be seen from the information obtained that the Xiliang army has taken full advantage. The defeat of the Ma family and the Pang family is just a matter of time." A middle-aged general next to the emperor analyzed and said: " For the coalition forces, a piece of rain and snow that should have belonged to them was taken advantage of by the Xiliang army."
"The Xiliang army is well-equipped, and their weapons and equipment are all equipped with preparations for fighting in the cold winter, so this rain and snow that should have belonged to the coalition forces was taken advantage of by the Xiliang army."
The middle-aged general looked at the information and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Li Xiangshi is indeed extraordinary. Most people would order their troops to retreat in such rainy and snowy weather, because under such weather conditions, it is not suitable for any attack or attack. Combat.
But he insisted on launching an attack on Fufeng City under such circumstances. Rather than saying that the Xiliang army was well-equipped with weapons and equipment, it was more that Li Cishi had extraordinary control over this army.
To be able to let my army fight in such a situation, among our Daqian army, apart from some elite members of the Forbidden Army and the Northern Army, only the Southwest Army can do this!"
The emperor listened and asked: "So the coalition forces in Liangzhou have no chance of winning?"
The middle-aged general nodded: "Judging from the current situation, there is not much chance of winning, because they cannot suppress Xiliang in terms of top-level force. Li Cishi has several great masters under his command. If the coalition wants to use top-level force, If you start, this path will not work at all.
In terms of top-level military force, they cannot suppress the Xiliang army, and in terms of ordinary troops, they are no match for the Xiliang army, not to mention that their most important city, Fufeng City, has been breached by the army led by Li Governor!
If Fufeng City is still in their hands and has not been broken, they can still rely on Fufeng City to continue to struggle with the Xiliang army in this cold winter. They do not need to resist for a long time. They only need to wait until the second snow falls on the land of Liangzhou. Liang's army will retreat automatically!"
The middle-aged general said that he was somewhat regretful that the coalition forces had missed the opportunity to fight: "If they had been on guard and sent a great master to guard Fufeng City, or the commanders of their two families had personally guarded Fufeng City, the outcome might have been different. .”
The middle-aged generals could see the plan of the coalition forces. The number of soldiers of the coalition forces was much higher than that of the Xiliang army. They planned to use the main army in the rear led by two commanders to attack Fufeng City from the two commanders. Starting from the side, they circled hundreds of miles and surrounded Xiliang's main army from both sides.
This is indeed a very good strategy. The Xiliang army must capture the important town of Fu Feng City, otherwise the city will become a sharp thorn that will stop at the throat of the Xiliang army.
There is simply no way around this city!
But once they launch an attack on this city, the main coalition force behind will definitely not miss this opportunity.
The only pity is that Tianshi, which should have belonged to the coalition forces, became an opportunity used by the Xiliang army to attack Fufeng City.
Everyone thought that the Xiliang army would retreat in such rainy and snowy weather. No one thought that the Xiliang army would launch an attack on Fufeng City in such an environment. Maybe the people in the city had thought about it, and the general in the city still wanted to do so. The defense of the city wall was reinforced.
However, they still failed to stop the advance of the Xiliang army. The city gate was personally broken by Li Xiang and his elite troops, and there were also some holes in several other city walls.
This all shows that the city is in danger. Without external help, the city will be captured by the Xiliang army sooner or later.
It won't take too long, because Li Xiang personally leads the army to fight in the city, and no one can imagine the fighting power displayed by a great master on the battlefield.
As long as Li Xiang rushes forward alone and breaks the formation of the defenders, the Xiliang army behind will move forward with overwhelming force.
The soldiers in the city were unable to resist the elite southwestern army led by Li Xiang.
This is also a key point. As for the main coalition force behind Fufeng City, we are rushing towards Fufeng City at our fastest speed.
However, because of the rain and snow in the sky, the road became muddy, and the marching speed of the army also slowed down a lot due to the changes in the ground.
The only thing that didn't have much impact was the cavalry. The Xiliang army had already expected that the coalition forces would send cavalry to support Fufeng City first.
Therefore, they spread a large number of Xiliang cavalry on the grassland. As long as they find cavalry on the coalition side, the Xiliang cavalry will attack their own cavalry.
On the grassland, the coalition cavalry is no match for the Xiliang cavalry. It would be okay if the coalition cavalry gather together. After all, when they gather together, they can form a huge numerical advantage.
But they are reinforcements from various places. If the two sides come together because of the route, they can join forces to resist the sneak attack of the Xiliang cavalry.
Those cavalry teams that did not encounter other cavalry reinforcements could only turn around and run when they saw the Xiliang cavalry, because if they did not run, they would be approached by the Xiliang cavalry, and the speed of the Xiliang horses would easily catch up with them.
For the sake of safety, they turned around and ran away when they saw the Xiliang cavalry. They did not have an advantage in numbers, and they had no advantage in individual force. What could they use to fight against these powerful Xiliang cavalry?
It is better to stay useful and gather with other cavalry teams to form a huge numerical advantage, and then go to a life-or-death showdown with those southwest cavalry.
The emperor's hand tapped on the table gently. Everyone knew that His Majesty was thinking about the problem, so they all breathed much softer, for fear of disturbing His Majesty.
I don't know since when, the pressure on the emperor in front of them has become stronger and stronger. Now they feel like they are facing the old emperor, the power of the dragon is unpredictable.
Therefore, their attitude towards the emperor was no longer the same as before. They became cautious and extremely respectful, not daring to go any further.
"Will there be any changes if there are top experts to help the coalition?" the emperor asked softly.
The middle-aged general thought carefully and said: "Then it depends on whether the number of top strong men can suppress the Xiliang army and whether they can repel Li Cishi. The core of the Xiliang army is Li Cishi. If you want to win,
The only way to defeat Xiliang's army is to look for it from Li Jishi and repel him.
And before the Xiliang army completely captures Fufeng City, if the Xiliang army is allowed to occupy Fufeng City, no one can bring the coalition forces back to life except killing Governor Li!"
The middle-aged general stopped talking after he finished speaking. As a general in the imperial capital, he naturally knew the relationship and conflicts between His Majesty and Xiliang.
In the past, His Majesty was somewhat tolerant of Xiliang, and the King of Xiliang didn't care much about Prime Minister Li's title in the northwest.
However, His Majesty has changed a lot during this period and has begun to target Xiliang.
These changes are all in their eyes. Although they don't know what problems have arisen between the two, as their leader, since the emperor has chosen to have a bad relationship with Xiliang, then they, as subordinates, will naturally support their lord.
.
So few people have mentioned Xiliang in front of him recently.
The emperor was thinking, turned to the old eunuch beside him and asked: "Are you sure you can capture it when you go to the northwest?"
As an important legacy left by the late emperor to the new emperor, the old eunuch is very powerful and can be regarded as the most powerful small group of great masters in the world.
If the old eunuch is not sure of dealing with Prime Minister Li, then no one under the emperor is sure of being able to deal with him.
The old eunuch shook his head without hesitation after hearing the emperor's words: "Your Majesty, although Li Xiang has just entered the Grand Master realm not long ago, his talents, combat awareness, etc. have surpassed most of the Grand Master masters.
And he is different from ordinary grand masters.
The old slave feels that he should be a great master of body refining. The great masters of the body refining line have always been difficult to deal with. If he had not become a great master before, we could still rely on the power of heaven and earth to suppress him.
.
But he has become a great master, and he also has the power to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, so Lao Nu is not sure that he can suppress him.
Moreover, the Ji Mo Sect Master around him is also one of the strongest men in the world. If I take action against Xiliang Li Xiang, the other party will definitely fight back!"
The expression on the emperor's face did not change as he listened. As a superior, what he is best at is hiding his emotions first.
"That's it!" The emperor glanced at the old eunuch: "Let people continue to observe the battles in Liangzhou and other places. I need to get the latest information."
"promise!"
....
The questions and answers in the palace spread quickly. All major forces have spies in the palace. Some spies even have more than one identity. But as long as they don't tell, who can know?
The Palace Internal Affairs Department is constantly conducting self-examinations, but news is still leaking out. There are many people in the world who are not afraid of death. They are not afraid of death, but are afraid of not having money to use.
When profits reach their bottom line, they can trample on their bottom line without any scruples.
Therefore, the emperor's ill will towards Xiliang also spread with these news. Overnight, some people were excited, some were doubtful, and some were thinking.
If this news can be spread, there must be instructions from the emperor, otherwise who can spread this news from around a great master.
Many people doubted the emperor's move. Xiliang could be called the emperor's most reliable foreign aid, because the territory he counted was thousands of miles away from the emperor's territory.
The existence of Xiliang can attract the emperor to the major anti-king forces in the northwest, but now the emperor wants to push Xiliang out. This wave of operations really makes them feel a little confused, and they also wonder whether this was deliberately released.
A false news.
Xiliang's spies in the imperial capital immediately sent their news back to the Xiliang base camp after getting the news.
Li Xiang, who is far away in Fufeng City, Liangzhou, doesn't know this, but even if he knows, he won't care, because he is not interested in the imperial capital. Whether the emperor likes him or dislikes him will not affect his current love for the northwest.
's rule.
His ability to rule the northwest and prevent surrounding forces from invading the border did not rely on the various momentum given by the emperor, but on the power in his own hands and constant killing.
Only by killing those enemies will they stop invading!
Li Xiang sat on a corpse without any scruples. The clothes on his body were all smelling of blood. Even if there was freezing rain and snow in the sky, it could not extinguish the flames of war in the city.
The Xiliang army has occupied half of the east city area. Although the soldiers on the coalition side are very powerful, they have lost their courage in the days of fighting. Facing the attack of the Xiliang army, many soldiers chose to run away.
If they hadn't been able to escape from the city, a large number of defeated soldiers in the city would have fled in all directions.
The elite troops in the city suffered heavy losses every day, which made the officers stationed in the city feel discouraged. At present, they could not see any hope.
There was no news about the reinforcements they were expecting. The Xiliang army was on the offensive like a fire, attacking continuously day and night. Even if the soldiers in the city were elite troops, they could not withstand such a fierce attack.
Now not only is most of Dongcheng District occupied, but the situation in several other urban districts is not optimistic either.
After dealing with it casually, Li Xiang looked up at the big flag at the end of Dongcheng District. After cutting down the big flag, the army in Dongcheng District was effectively gone.
Reinforcements from the coalition forces have arrived at the periphery, but they are not in a hurry to launch an attack. Instead, they seem to be waiting for more troops to arrive.
Chen Huaihe hoped that they would wait a little longer and give him a little more time to capture the city. Perhaps in the eyes of those people, the Xiliang army would take its time to launch an attack like other armies.
Generally, large armies do not attack cities very quickly. Some relatively slow siege battles are fought for several months or even every year, but that is for others.
The army of Xiliang attacked the city in pursuit of a wave. Even if they lost a lot of soldiers, the long-term pain was not as good as the short-term pain. Capturing the city after suffering a large number of casualties in a short period of time was far better than a slow siege.
A lot.
Therefore, Li Xiang always took the lead in siege battles, because he knew very well that only by rushing to the front to break the deadlock, the losses of the soldiers behind would be less.
"Lord!" A soldier who was responsible for delivering the order searched the crowd for a long time before he saw Prime Minister Li sitting on the pile of corpses. He strode to Prime Minister Li and said, "Lord, there is news from the north that there are a large number of Qiang and Xianbei people.
The army is gathering and preparing to go south, and is expected to arrive in Anding County in half a month!"
Li Xiang frowned, raised his head and looked at the coalition flag again: "The Qiang and Xianbei people are going south! Is this your plan?"
Li Xiang paused for a moment and snorted coldly, and said to the soldier who sent the order: "I understand, send an order for me, so that the defenders in Anding County cannot stand and implement the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country. If there are people who don't want to live, then don't worry about them."
