Chapter 161 Conspiracy calculation
"General!"
When Wulu and Liu Zhi saw the people coming, they looked panicked and hurriedly saluted.
As a vanguard force, they did not even touch the opponent's city gate, and suffered three to four thousand casualties. Forget it, they were still arguing in front of the formation.
Even if Wang Quan kills them now, they deserve it.
Liu Zhi secretly raised his head and glanced at Wang Quan, only to see that Wang Quan's face was filled with anger and his body began to tremble slightly.
Hu Bo on the side saw this and spoke first:
"General Wang trusted you and asked you to take the position of the vanguard general. But you lost nearly four thousand men without even touching the city gate. In addition, you two generals also quarreled in front of the formation. , do you know your sin?"
"I will be convicted of my crime at the end of my life."
Liu Zhihe Wulu said quickly. If you talk back at this time, it will be a dead end.
Hu Bo looked at Wang Quan on the side, and then said:
"General Wang, these two generals also have their own difficulties. After all, the opponent's move is too insidious, and even if I were to come, I might not be able to break it. How about letting them downgrade one level to make up for their mistakes?"
Wang Quan suppressed the anger in his heart and weighed the pros and cons.
On the first day of the war, if he killed two of his own generals, it would definitely cause the army to lose morale. After thinking for a moment or two, he said:
"That's all, I'll spare you two this time. I hope you can make up for your mistakes in the next battle. If you still make mistakes, then I will settle the old and new accounts together!"
"Thank you, General!"
The two of them quickly thanked each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Hu Bo was here, otherwise they might have been killed by the royal power.
Looking at the large piece of ice in front of him and the six or seven meter high city wall, Wang Quan also felt a headache. I can only ask Hu Bo.
"Brother Hu Bo, how should we break this situation?"
After Hu Bo thought for a while, he said:
"It's a bit difficult to remove this ice. Wei Chen suggested setting up multiple rows of shields in front and advancing steadily."
After Wang Quan heard this, he also nodded. This can only be the case now.
"It's a pity. It would be nice if it snowed again."
If it is covered with heavy snow, the ice will no longer be useful.
……
Capital City, Ji Lefu.
This place is the most famous restaurant in the capital. Whenever a meal is served, the aroma of the food can float for miles. If ordinary people in the capital can have a meal here, they will be able to brag about it to others for a lifetime. .
On the top floor of the Paradise Mansion, a group of people gathered here. They were all well-dressed and well-fed. In front of them were fine wines and delicacies that ordinary people would never be able to eat in their lifetimes. Dozens of coquettish singers dressed in pitifully little clothes danced in ecstasy.
The beauty's singing voice and the wonderful accompaniment complement each other, just like heaven on earth.
There were only three guests in the huge private room.
"Brother Menghuai, this move of yours is really good. Not only did you destroy the sword's edge, it also caused the Zhao family to lose most of its power. Come on, let me toast you."
A middle-aged man with a mustache laughed and toasted.
His name is Chen Zinan, and he is the current head of the Chen family in the capital.
A middle-aged man named Zhang Menghuai clinked his wine glasses and shook his head:
"Brother Zi Nan, this move is not mine, but the right time and place. The emperor called Jian Feng back to the capital to accept the reward, and the Liang Kingdom and the Great Shang Kingdom took the opportunity to attack again. The only thing I did was to slow down the reinforcements. That’s all.”
"Haha, Brother Menghuai, no matter what, your move has destroyed most of the Jian family and the Zhao family. Come, let's have another drink and wish the friendship between our two families will last forever."
Chen Zinan raised his glass again and drank it all. Then, he looked towards the horizon and frowned slightly.
"By the way, it's been three days, and Qingzhou still hasn't reported the defeat. There's something wrong."
After hearing this, Zhang Menghuai also frowned. These words also expressed the worries in his heart.
That Jianfeng can't really defend Qingzhou, can it? This time the coalition army has [-] soldiers and horses. The commanding general Wang Quan is also an experienced general. He usually marches cautiously and steadily. With this lineup, there is almost no possibility of defending Qingzhou.
But this sword edge never plays its cards according to common sense.
"Don't worry, you two. The coalition has a total of [-] people, and the commanders are still Cheng Huan and Wang Quan. With this lineup, even if his sword has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to defend it."
Another middle-aged man with a rosy face raised his wine glass and staggered over. His face was completely red.
When he was still two steps away from the two of them, the man failed to stand still and fell directly to the ground.
"Brother Ling, you are drunk. You guys, go and help Brother Ling to rest."
Chen Zinan hurriedly helped the man up, and two young and beautiful maids hurriedly came over and helped the middle-aged man.
"Brother Menghuai, there is nothing to worry about. The only decent city left in Qingzhou is Fangcheng. Coupled with the huge gap in numbers, how can Jianfeng be able to defend it if he is not a god?"
Chen Zinan said.
"That's right. When Qingzhou is lost, our three major families will report to the emperor together and execute the guilty minister Jian Feng. At that time, the Jian family will definitely shed their skin. And the Zhao family, most of their foundations are arranged in Qingzhou. If Qingzhou is lost, , all they have is annexation by us. Get rid of these two troublesome families, and the Daqian Kingdom will be our world."
Zhang Menghuai spoke.
"But we still have to be careful about Jian Feng. In this way, I will delay the speed of reinforcements for another three days."
……
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed. The battlefield was covered with corpses.
"Drink! Drink! Drink!"
The two siege vehicles slammed into the ice wall of Wengcheng, and some cracks had already appeared on it.
Lin Xiaofan stared below. In the past few days, the Liannu Legion had killed more than [-] enemies.
Today, the situation of the Qingzhou Army is very serious. There are only more than [-] to [-] arrows left in Fangcheng's warehouse. If the Liannu Corps fires another round, there will probably be no arrows left.
Their means of blocking enemy sieges became less and less. So far, the only way to fight is to throw rolling wooden rocks down. However, the collection and transportation of these take time.
In three days, the coalition forces had killed and injured [-] to [-] people, but the offensive remained unabated and even became more and more fierce.
The siege vehicles below were hitting the city wall crazily, and every attack shook the entire city wall.
"Whoosh!"
A cold arrow was shot towards him at no time. Lin Xiaofan reacted quickly, squatted down, and retracted into the battlements.
Da Zhuang on the side also took a step forward and blocked the arrow.
He had seen many cold arrows like this suddenly flying out from the crowd, but none of them had hurt him.
"Brother Lin, this place is too dangerous, why don't you step back."
Da Zhuang said. From the beginning of the war until now, his only mission is to protect Lin Xiaofan. But he did a good job and eliminated all dangers.
Lin Xiaofan shook his head slightly:
"It doesn't matter. As the commander-in-chief of the Liannu Army, I must stand on the front line and command. Why should I retreat?"
