"Xiaoya. Pass the order and enter the second phase of the battle!" Zhou Xingyun put on a long-sleeved cloak and stood on the balcony with his hands folded to have a bird's eye view of the overall situation. When the night wind blew slowly, his arms and sleeves fluttered in the wind, mature and steady.
Calm, handsome, and calm and courageous in front of Wan Jun, Tang Yuanying, Ayesha and other girls couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
After receiving the order, Mu Ya immediately gathered her inner strength and shot several fire arrows into the night sky...
The fire arrows spread out like fireworks, forming a battle signal and conveying orders to the royal guards who were fighting the enemy.
At this time, more than ten thousand fleeing people in Lingdu City have returned to the city one after another, while the main force of Qingtian Xiong has set up a formation and is approaching step by step.
The royal family's more than a thousand cavalry and the infantry guards covering the fleeing people of Lingdu City would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by Qingtian Xiong's main force if they did not leave the battlefield quickly.
Zhou Xingyun's second phase of the battle was to have a thousand cavalry troops outside the city gate cover the evacuation of the royal guards who attacked the left wing of the enemy camp at night.
The infantry guards of the royal family, responsible for containing the enemy soldiers, have been disconnected from the people of Lingdu City who are fleeing back to the city. Now Qingtian Xiong is approaching the city gate step by step. If they do not withdraw immediately, they will fall into a quagmire of chaos and be defeated by the enemy.
Annihilation of troops.
However, the mission of the Royal Cavalry has been completed. They successfully restrained the 5,000 Northern City guards on the front line and covered the tens of thousands of people in Lingdu City who fled back to the city. Now the Royal Cavalry can leave and protect the people of Lingdu City after the rescue.
The fleeing royal infantry.
However, the royal infantry team is far away from the gate of Lingdu City. If they retreat towards the city gate, not only will they not be able to get rid of the enemy soldiers who are fighting hand-to-hand with them, but they will also be intercepted by the 5,000 Northern City guards at the front line.
.Finally, the main force of Qingtian Bear came forward, and the thousand-man royal infantry team was finished.
Therefore, Zhou Xingyun did not need them to return to Lingdu City. The thousand-man royal cavalry rushed into the formation, covered the thousand-man royal infantry team and retreated into the nearby mountains and forests, and withdrew in the opposite direction from the Lingdu City gate.
In this case, should the Northern City guards pursue? Or should they not pursue?
If the guards of Beijing City choose to divide their forces to pursue, Qingtian Xiong will not be able to concentrate his forces to attack Lingdu City, and the pressure on Zhou Xingyun to defend the city will naturally become easier.
In other words, Zhou Xingyun has burned the food and grass in Qingtian Xiong's base camp, forcing Qingtian Xiong to have to decide the outcome with him tonight. Only by capturing Lingdu City can the Northern City guards have a way to survive.
Therefore, Qingtian Xiong will most likely not take care of the royal cavalry and infantry teams that have withdrawn from the battlefield, but will let the Northern City guards attack Lingdu City with all their strength.
If Qingtian Xiong was mentally ill and really divided his troops to pursue the royal cavalry and infantry that were retreating in the opposite direction from the city gate, Zhou Xingyun would not be afraid at all.
The heroic cavalry with one person and one horse only needs to give in to the retreating team and mount their horses, and they can walk the pursuers everywhere. Zhou Xingyun really wants to see Qingtian Xiong dedicate thousands of Northern City guards to pursue...
Of course, there are also advantages to the pursuit of Qing Tian Xiong regardless of troops, that is, after the royal family's cavalry and infantry troops withdraw from the battle line, they join up with their teammates who sneak attack on the enemy camp's food and grass, and then form a harassment team to cause trouble around the Northern City guards, making detours and feigning attacks.
, hindering the opponent's siege.
Strategies are dead, countermeasures are alive. Only by flexibly using different countermeasures according to the ever-changing situation can you remain invincible.
When Zhou Xingyun asked Xuanyuan Chongwu and others to lead troops out of the city, he followed Qingtian
What actions will the bears take and what countermeasures will they take?
For example, when more than ten thousand people of Lingdu City fled back to Lingdu City, if the city guards at the front line attacked the city instead of turning around and chasing the people of Lingdu City.
Then the royal infantry responsible for the night attack on the enemy's base camp would cover the people of Lingdu City as they evacuated in the opposite direction from the city gate, while the more than a thousand cavalry on standby in the city would go to the city wall to assist in defense.
Anyway, the people of Lingdu City have seen that those who defect to Qingtian Bear will not end well, which is enough for the royal family to establish victory.
For example, if Qingtian Xiong was not in a hurry to attack the city and learned that more than a thousand cavalry were out to rescue more than ten thousand people in Lingdu City, he would still wait and see what would happen. The seven hundred royal family led by Xuanyuan Chongwu saw the opportunity to attack the grain and grass at night.
The guards will move to the enemy's left-wing camp, unite with the royal infantry of a thousand people, and attack the 5,000 Northern City guards who are chasing more than 10,000 people in the capital city, so as to cover the people's smooth return to the city.
Anyway, if the main force of Qingtian Bear does not take immediate action, once the 2,700 royal guards outside the city cover the more than 10,000 people of Lingdu City who escape back to Lingdu City, the defeat of Qingtian Bear will also be determined.
The Northern City guards, whose morale was already low and then suffered another setback, would definitely not have the courage to attack Lingdu City again.
On the other hand, the people in Lingdu City witnessed the Northern City guards chasing and killing the fleeing Lingdu City residents on the city wall, and learned that Qingtian Xiong forced those who left the city and defected to him to serve as cannon fodder for the attack on Lingdu City. Due to biological reasons
Due to the survival instinct, the people of Lingdu City were afraid, afraid, and resisted the Qingtian Bear. The unity of the people and the royal family was tantamount to pronouncing the defeat of the Qingtian Bear force.
In short, when Zhou Xingyun strategically tricks Qingtian Xiong into making a choice that meets his expectations, he will consider Qingtian Xiong's countermeasures after Qingtian Xiong reverses the election. No matter what decision Qingtian Xiong makes, he will not be able to reverse the current situation.
At most, the Northern City guards could delay their defeat for a while.
Zhou Xingyun once said that the outcome of Qingtian Bear and the royal family had been decided as early as the moment he defeated Lingdu City. The initiative in the overall situation rests with the royal family, no matter what little tricks Qingtian Bear makes, as long as
As expected, Qingtian Xiong couldn't catch Han Qiumiao or Han Feng, so he didn't have any chance to make a comeback.
Burning down the granary of Lingdu City, driving the people of Lingdu City to seek food from the royal family, and then encouraging the people to leave the city were all insignificant tricks that could not affect the overall situation.
On the contrary, once Zhou Xingyun takes advantage of the loopholes in Qingtian Xiong's design and takes appropriate countermeasures, the defeat of the Northern City Guards will be accelerated.
To put it bluntly, what would it matter even if Qingtian Xiong captured Lingdu City? As long as the martial arts alliance masters cover Han Feng and Han Qiumi's escape and the royal army presses on the border, can Qingtian Xiong's 30,000 city guards win?
Qingtian Xiong failed to marry Han Qiumiao, failed to successfully kidnap the princess to command the king, failed to join forces with the royal family, failed to obtain the support of the royal family's military strength, his defeat was already doomed...
"Send an order to the soldiers on the left, not to pursue the enemy soldiers, and attack Lingdu City with all your strength!" Qingtian Xiong saw the Royal Cavalry covering the infantry and retreating in the opposite direction of the city gate. He immediately ordered the guards of the Northern City on the left to not pursue them.
.
After all, the Northern City guards are at their wits end, and the only chance of victory is to capture Lingdu City and capture Han Qiumiao or Han Feng.
Only by concentrating our forces to attack Lingdu City, can Qingtian Xiong see the only glimmer of hope in the defeat. Because of this, Qingtian Xiong's psychological activities
, any decision he makes cannot escape Zhou Xingyun’s judgment.
Qingtian Xiong couldn't help but feel extremely anxious when he saw the royal family's cavalry and infantry troops withdrawing from the battle line in an orderly manner. He knew clearly how bad the situation of the Northern City guards was now. The food and grass were burned, and the 30,000 Northern soldiers under his command were
The city guards were forced to the Dead Lake Cave.
Why did Zhou Xingyun dare to let the 2,700 royal guards escape in the opposite direction of the city gate? It was precisely because the food and grass of the 30,000 northern city guards were burned, and even if they attacked the city with all their strength, they could not hold out for a few days.
Not to mention the countless people of Lingdu City who help on the walls of Lingdu City, even the masters of the Martial Arts Alliance and warriors from outside the Great Wall should be able to defend Lingdu City.
There were 2,700 royal guards outside the city gate, and the results were almost the same whether they entered the city to assist in defense or not.
So, the reason why Qingtian Xiong ordered 30,000 Northern City guards to advance at full speed is because the gate of Lingdu City is still open. If they can rush to the city gate in one go, block the gate, and attack Lingdu City...
…The Northern City Guards still have a chance of winning.
To put it simply, the Northern City guards were at the end of their rope and had no choice but to give it a go and swarm into the city before the gates of Lingdu City were closed. Without the city wall as a barrier, the people of Lingdu City would not dare to fight against the 30,000 Northern City guards.
Admittedly, Qingtian Xiong could also see that the withdrawal of the royal family's cavalry and infantry troops from the battle line meant that the gate of Lingdu City was about to close. Almost all the tens of thousands of people in Lingdu City fled back to the city. Zhou Xingyun's brain was filled with water.
The city gates will not be left open for them to attack.
As a result, when the Northern City guards rushed to about 300 meters outside the city gate, they saw the iron gate slowly falling. With their charging speed, they could not reach the city gate before the gate fell.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, just when the Northern City guards were feeling desperate, the reinforcements lurking in Lingdu City appeared at the critical moment.
Jiang Weitian, the leader of the Wuhe Gang, is in the same situation as Qingtian Xiong, and has reached a point of desperation.
The Wulin Alliance already knows about the bad things the Wuhe Gang has done secretly. If Qingtian Xiong is defeated, the Wuhe Gang will never have a foothold in the world.
Seeing that the gate of Lingdu City was closed, their last hope was shattered, and the members of the Wuhe Gang had to fight out to prevent the gate from falling.
"Yo yo yo, the rats hiding in the ditch have finally come out." This is what Zhou Xingyun wants. The opening of the city gate is the hope of the Northern City guards to invade Lingdu City. Seeing the iron gate of the city gate fall, the remaining people in Lingdu
If the disciples of Wuhe Gang and Xuanyang Cult in the city don't come out to cause trouble, they will never have the chance to appear again.
The situation is completely in Zhou Xingyun's hands. At this time, Qingtian Xiong's soldiers and horses can't help but hesitate. If they don't cut through the mess quickly, cherish the opportunity in front of them, take advantage of the city gate to open, attack with the whole army, and rush into Lingdu City in one go. Once the gates of the city tower are opened,
If it falls, the Northern City Guards will never be able to make a comeback.
At the critical moment to decide the outcome, Xuanyang Tianzun, Shen Quan, Ximen Lengbang, Hengyu and other evil warriors had to join the battlefield.
Xuanyang Tianzun and other evil masters, like Qingtian Xiong, did not expect that their own forces would fall into such an unfavorable predicament. They were supposed to be the attackers with the initiative, and it was up to them to decide whether to start a war and when to start a war.
.
However, Zhou Xingyun used trickery to force them into a situation where they were running out of ammunition and food. Now they had no choice but to fight Zhou Xingyun at the most inappropriate time to start a war.
