"If I were you, I would have surrendered right now." Li Xiang strode forward alone and said to the guard: "In this war, you have already killed enough people, and we have also died enough.
That's a lot, you've tried your best, so no one will say anything to you if you surrender."
The guard general of Fufeng City smiled miserably: "I know we have lost, but once I am the general of the defenders, I will always be the general of the defenders of Fufeng City. Others can surrender, but I can't. Please ask the governor to take action."
When Prime Minister Li led the army to break through the inner city defenses, the defender was already prepared to die in battle.
Just as he said, others can choose to surrender or escape, but he cannot. The two commanders in the rear trust him and will hand over the city to him to guard.
Unfortunately, he was unable to defend the city, and Fu Feng City would fall into the hands of the Xiliang army. He was unable to surrender to the Xilan army like others, nor was he able to lead his army out of the encirclement.
All he can do is to hold on to the city until the last moment. When the city is broken, he will perish.
Li Xiang could hear the decisiveness in the guard's words and nodded. The powerful Grand Master's aura radiated from his body. Although the two were hostile, he felt some respect for the arrival of the defender in front of him.
Buzz!
Fang Tian drew his halberd and passed by. The guard did not see Li Xiang's movements clearly and had already lost consciousness. He fell with him, as well as the 50 personal guards guarding him.

The flag representing the coalition side fell down in the inner city of Fu Feng City. The flag bearer was the backbone of the soldiers in this city.
As long as this banner is still there, they know clearly that the general and the others are still there, and they will still have the courage to continue fighting with the Xiliang headquarters army.
When the big flag fell down, the soldiers who had been paying attention here were stunned. Many of them watched the big flag fall slowly with their own eyes. It was not being carried away, but
It was cut off.
The inner city has been captured by the Xiliang army!
The morale of the coalition soldiers in the other three urban areas dropped sharply. The coalition soldiers in Dongcheng District had already lost their courage by being killed by Prime Minister Li, and now they saw the Xiliang army retreating.
When they saw the banner of the inner city being cut off, the coalition soldiers who had already been killed and collapsed by the Xiliang army decisively threw their weapons far away, then knelt on their knees and raised their hands above their heads.
.
This means that they no longer threaten to surrender to the Xiliang army.
After seven days of fighting in the city, both sides suffered huge casualties, and finally ended with the surrender of a large coalition force.
There was no time for Li War Zone to arrange the prisoners, so they could simply gather these prisoners in one place and let some Xiliang headquarters soldiers guard them.
He still has a more important task to complete. The two commanders of the coalition forces have led the army to surround the Xiliang army. A huge war is waiting for him.
However, Fufeng City, which Li Xiang believed was the most difficult to capture, was already in his hands. Even if the remaining coalition forces had more troops, they would not have a trace of fear.
He was not afraid of fighting with the coalition forces on the vast plains, but he was afraid that the coalition forces would occupy important cities and avoid leaving.
Now that the opponent is taking the initiative to challenge him for battle on the vast plains, there is no reason for Prime Minister Li to refuse!
In his mind, he wanted to deal with the coalition forces at once and wipe out the two major families in Liangzhou, then he would send his troops north to teach those grassland people who invaded the southwest border a lesson!
And what he is afraid of is not the war in the wild, but the pull in the siege battle. Although the Xiliang army is very good at siege and street fighting, the Xiliang headquarters army with all kinds of magic weapons can easily destroy those strong city walls.
break in.
But if you really face some very important levels, the building materials used are extremely strong, and even these war machines will only leave some scratches on them.
Because there are a large number of formations arranged by Zhengmage on those important checkpoints and cities, these formations can strengthen the solidity of these city walls.
Therefore, even the war machines in their hands will at most leave little traces on the observation walls unless they can continue to attack day and night.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to rely on war machinery to break down the opponent's city wall!
"How is the surrounding situation now?" After Li Xiang came out of the city, he rode on the tent and drank a lot of wine to warm up. The weather was really too cold.
The clothes on the Xiliang soldiers were already stiff. Who asked them to fight bloody battles with the enemies in memory, spilling blood on their clothes and armor.
Now that the weather has become so cold, the blood quickly freezes when it encounters the cold and moist air, turning into pieces of very hard clothing.
Li Xiang did not immediately transfer the soldiers in the city to deal with the enemy. The battle on the front line was very tight, and there were too many enemies, making it difficult for the troops in the front to resist.
They have been calling for help from the rear, asking the rear to send troops to support them.
Prime Minister Li suppressed all these requests, because the soldiers who came out of the city needed to rest for a while, not as long as two or three days.
Just let these soldiers eat a warm meal, drink a hot soup, and then have a good sleep, so that they can restore their combat effectiveness.
The soldiers under his command could go to rest, eat meat and drink soup, but Li Xiang led the cavalry to the front line, and these soldiers under his command were entitled to rest.
And he is not qualified. These soldiers are fighting bloody battles for him, so they can take a rest. They have shed enough blood.
Li Xiang is different. The real beneficiary of this war is him. He is the leader and cause of this war!
Everything he gets will belong to him. How can he stop and rest? He must always be on the front line of the battlefield!
"The situation on the front line is very bad." The soldier responsible for delivering the order whispered to Li Xiang: "There are too many enemies. Today we can eliminate one small team, and tomorrow two small teams will appear on the coalition side.
"
"It seems that they are no match for us, but we can clearly feel that they are constantly getting stronger and absorbing all kinds of nutrients.
They regard the battlefield as a place to train new soldiers and send a large number of new soldiers to fight against our army. They don't care about the death of these soldiers, as long as a few can survive anyway.
The few who survive will soon become veterans after experiencing the war. They can join the ace troops of the coalition or be the instructors who train soldiers!
It won't be long before they have a large number of veterans. No matter what they are used for, they will be very powerful enemies for us!"
"Have you figured out where the opponent's main camp is?" Li Xiang decided to have a decisive battle with the coalition forces. The first thing he had to do was to find out where the opponent's command post was.
There must be a large number of troops in the enemy's command post. If the enemy's command post is attacked, it is very likely that the enemy will be left without a leader.
"At present, we have figured out where the camp of the camp coming from the west is, and the army coming up from behind has not yet figured out where the opponent's general is." The commander in charge of the news said: "My lord, the enemy has two commanders.
So, if we concentrate our forces to deal with one of them, the other one will most likely..."
"You don't have to worry about these!" Li Xiang has already thought about these problems a long time ago. If there is no solution, he will not decide.
There are not many generals under him, but there are also quite a few. Every army in Xiliang has its own generals. All you need to do is send these people to where they should go.
"Right now, go and find out for me where the command camp of the remaining army is!" Li Xiang wanted to find out where the command headquarters of the two coalition forces were located, and then decide how to attack. He wanted to decide the outcome in a battle.
So you have to figure out where the enemy is.
Only after clarifying these things can he arrange the formation and plan.
Li Xiang came to the front line of the battlefield with his personal cavalry. The fighting between the coalition forces and the Xiliang army was already very fierce. The cavalry units of both armies were already fighting on the plains.
Relying on their numerical superiority, the coalition forces can temporarily fight against the Xiliang cavalry.
The position of the infantry phalanx did not change much. Although the coalition forces were coming fiercely, it was not easy to push back the Xiliang infantry phalanx.
In addition, the Xiliang infantry has the support and help of the Shenji Battalion behind them. When the enemy gathers a large number of troops, the Shenji Battalion will attack the enemy with the densest phalanx.
The extremely powerful war machinery can easily destroy the coalition formation, so the coalition side has nothing to do against the Xiliang headquarters army for the time being.
As this weather continues to drag on, it will become more and more difficult for them, because soldiers on the coalition side have become seriously ill, and a large number of soldiers have been lost in non-combat situations.
They fell ill due to the cold weather, and some could no longer walk. They were well prepared along the way, but the cold still claimed the lives of the soldiers.
Compared with the cold-proof materials worn by them and the cold-proof materials worn by the Xiliang army, the gap is really huge.
It was just an ordinary piece of clothing to keep out the cold, with no thought of its role on the battlefield. However, it was precisely after the battle that soldiers quit the battlefield because of the cold.
When soldiers from both sides are fighting fiercely, they will produce a lot of sweat. This sweat will not affect them while they are fighting, but when they end the battle, this sweat will become extremely cold due to the weather.
The soldiers did not change their clothes in time or stay in a relatively warm place. This alternation of hot and cold made it difficult for them to adapt for a while, and many soldiers became sick as a result.
The occupation and commander-in-chief of the coalition forces are all aware of this reason, but they have no way to change this matter. It is already very rare for them to be able to guarantee the current logistics supply line.
Asking them to collect a large amount of cold-proof materials would really embarrass the logistics personnel at the rear, so there was no other way but to let the soldiers fight with the Xiliang army in such an environment.
However, they still made some responses, that is, during the war, the soldiers in the rear set up a large number of tents, and transported some wood through the teams that transported supplies, and then lit up raging fires so that the soldiers coming off the battlefield could have some time.
Enough time to dry the sweat on your body.
At night, you can see that the coalition camp is filled with firelight, and the soldiers are all leaning against the fire, enjoying the hard-earned warmth.
It was too cold in the tent, and there was no way to light a fire in the tent, so they warmed up quilts and other items by the fire before returning to the tent to rest when they were extremely sleepy.
The cold wind and rain and snow at night were raging across the land, they roared in and roared away.
The soldiers on guard night were trembling because of the cold, and the soldiers in the tents were awakened by the cold. Even if they were wrapped in a thick quilt, they could not withstand the bone-deep cold.
Li Xiang relied on his Grandmaster's body to patrol at night. The cold wind was nothing to him, but to the soldiers of the 7th and 8th legions who had just entered the camp, it was extremely cold.
The clothes they wore and the cold-proof items in the camp were the same as those of the Xiliang soldiers, but in the extremely cold conditions at night, these things lost their effectiveness.
If it was too cold to sleep, the soldiers would get up and run to the fire to warm themselves up. They would rather be by the fire than return to the cold tent.
"It's already like this before it's even the coldest. The war must be ended in the shortest possible time." Li Xiang saw the soldiers were embarrassed because of the cold. This kind of cold could no longer be blocked by wearing warm clothes.
, although their tents are all specially made, cold wind can still blow in.
The soldiers of Xiliang headquarters are much better than the soldiers of the 7th and 8th legions. After all, their strong bodies and strong immunity allow them to withstand the cold much better than the soldiers of the 7th and 8th legions.
They can still sleep peacefully in such cold conditions. Many soldiers of the 7th and 8th legions like to sleep in the tents of soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters.
It's not because the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters have better cold-proof materials than they do, but because when the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters sleep, they still emit a huge amount of heat, and this heat makes the camp much warmer than their own.
While Prime Minister Li was patrolling, the Xiliang scout troops finally found the enemy command post that had gone around to the back. They brought the news back to the camp overnight.
Li Xiang summoned all the important generals under his command. He planned to end this war within two or three days. As long as he defeated the enemy's main troops, the rest of the troops were not important!
