: Failure

"Victory belongs to us"

This is a belief, or it is a pursuit. Everyone has the desire to pursue victory, and no one wants to fail.

Li Shiqi also told their soldiers that they also wanted to pursue victory, but they failed because the reason was very simple, because they were not the protagonists, they were just supporting roles.

Everyone wants to be the protagonist, but unfortunately, there is always only one protagonist, but there are many supporting roles.

Li Shiqi failed. After three consecutive days of attack, he suddenly realized that he could not win. Donggong City had more and more defenders, while his soldiers were fewer and fewer. Such a battle could not be fought.

Thirty thousand people have now lost half of them, and they have lost confidence in the victory of the summer light. If this blow is not big enough, then the next blow will be fatal to them.

In just three days, in just three days, Zhailiang, Dafu, Xinyu, Toudong, Aoli, Fancheng, and Xizhicheng were all lost.

It was only three days, and the territory that once belonged to the Fire Army was lost almost at the same time. In the same three days, they also attacked the city, but they lost 15,000 people, but they got nothing. They had not even stepped onto the city head once and the other party took down their six cities.

Is this irony?

Reality is always so cruel, but it is not a satire. They just failed to succeed. History is where winners write their achievements. If they succeed, it is not a satire, but a dedication to the boat.

"The young marshal and Li Shiqi's troops seem to show signs of retreating."

Xuan Ri told Hu You that she was very busy in the past three days, but she had achieved results. In just three days, she initially integrated the militia troops. From 10,000 people on the first day, it has grown to 30,000 people now. If needed, she can increase it.

"If you want to run, we can't let them run. Although Zhebe has achieved some results, she has too few people on hand to fight against Li Shiqi's troops. We must destroy Li Shiqi's people near Donggong City, otherwise everything we did before will be wasted."

Xuan Ri said anxiously: "But our number is even smaller. The number of soldiers in our inner guard regiment is less than 2,000. Do you want to eat Li Shiqi with these two thousand people? Although Li Shiqi was hit hard this time, he still has 15,000 people in his hands, and his strength is far above us."

Hu You smiled and said, "Who said two thousand? Haven't you formed 30,000 militia troops in your hands?"

Xuan Ri said anxiously: "But they have not been trained. It's okay to defend the city. What kind of blocking missions do they can't do with me?"

Hu You shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. They just need to be able to push stones. I don't need them to know too much."

"Push a stone?"

Xuan Ri looked at Hu You in confusion. Although she was very smart, she couldn't understand such stupid words.

Hu You walked to the map and waved to Xuan Ri: "You come and take a look and you will understand."

Xuan Ri walked over as he was told, and saw Hu You's finger pointing to a place on the map - Tiger Chong.

It is a very strange place name. According to legend, there are many ferocious tigers living in this place. As soon as they see people, they rush out. According to legend, there are basically not many such things, but the terrain here is dangerous, which is indeed true.

This is a valley road, which can almost be compared with the famous first-line sky. The road is not wide, and can only accommodate two horses in parallel, about two kilometers long, with high cliffs on both sides. If someone takes up the cliff and blocks the two ends, the people inside will basically be dead.

"You want to use the tiger rush?"

Xuan Ri understood what Hu You meant when he looked at the map, but she still put forward different opinions: "Although this is a good place for ambush, with Li Shiqi's ability, it is impossible to be unaware of it. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to succeed."

Hu You nodded and said, "If it was just a simple use, of course it would not be that easy. If Li Shiqi was really that stupid, he would not be able to live now.

I am planning to use the tiger to rush, but my goal is not there, but this.”

Hu You's fingers slid across the map, slid over the tiger's rushing, and pointed to an open space behind the tiger's rushing.

"Niucheping? Are you going to block Li Shiqi? There is a flat horse and there is no danger."

"It is precisely because there is no danger to defend that Li Shiqi would not have thought that we would be there and eat him in one fell swoop. This is my plan."

Hu You pulled Xuan Ri and explained his thoughts to Xuan Ri one by one. To complete this plan, Hu You's current two thousand people must be insufficient, and the militia in Xuan Ri's hands must cooperate.

"General Li, what should we do now?"

In the camp of the Fire Army, Li Shiqi was recruiting military meetings. Since the news that all the six cities in the rear were lost, the morale of the army has become unstable. Liu Guangda brought 150,000 people to attack Langtian, but until now, no favorable news has been sent back. All the seven cities in the Fire Army's hands have been lost. Now the Fire Army has no way out, so who can sit still

"Hu You really have some skills"

Li Shiqi was not sure, but he had to hold on at this time. If he was in chaos, the fire army would have been really finished.

Li Shiqi's words made many people roll their eyes in their hearts. If they had no ability, they would not have achieved what they were today. As a loser, saying that their opponents are capable will not erase their incompetence.

This time, the reason why he got to this point was completely because Li Shiqi's command had a problem. If he hadn't lost Donggong City first and then came out, and wanted to fight Hu You, it would not have left the troops of Zhai Liang and other six cities empty, and allowed others to take advantage of it. Now he had the face to say that he had some ability and didn't know how he was attracted by the boss.

Li Shiqi took the reaction of the generals in his eyes and continued: "Hu You have some skills, but we did not lose. According to the news from the postmaster, this time the person who led people to attack Zhailiang and other six cities was Hu You's inner guard leader Zhebe. This woman had been Hu You's personal guard for a long time, and Hu You forced to advance to the throne. She had never commanded many wars. She was just a Japanese product, both in terms of experience and ability.

She had only about 5,000 people on hand, but she occupied six cities in one go. In an evenly divided manner, each city was only more than 800. There were still 15,000 people on hand. As long as we had all our strength, it would be difficult to recover the six cities. Does anyone think that our 15,000 people can't beat only 800 people?"

Li Shiqi's words made the generals of the Fire Army ignite the fighting spirit again. The situation seemed not as bad as expected, so they could not beat Hu You, and they could not beat a little girl with no combat experience?

"What if Hu You leads his troops to follow us?"

An officer asked a question. When talking about Hu You's name, his lips were a little white. In the past three days, more than 200 officers at all levels had died under Hu You's arrow. Hu You's elusive arrow was so terrible.

"Chasing?" Li Shiqi shook his hand and said, "Hu You dare not. Hu You now will not have more than 3,000 soldiers that can be used at most. Those city residents can still defend the city, and chasing them is useless. If Hu You dares to make that turtle shell, I would rather hope."

Shiping City, Qin Ming’s military camp.

Qin Ming once again stood in front of the map and judged the situation in Yanzhou based on the information in his hand.

Conrad and Ma Zeben sat there with consent, waiting for Qin Ming's analysis. Last time Qin Ming hit the nail on the head, Hu You really sent someone to take down the six cities including Zhailiang. They all wanted to hear what Qin Ming would say this time.

This time, Qin Ming did not speak. He drew a circle on the map and thought quietly. Kang Ma and his two dared not disturb Qin Ming, so they could only wait quietly.

After waiting for half an hour, Qin Ming still didn't say a word. Ma Zeben couldn't sit still and asked boldly: "General Qin Ming, what's the situation we are now?"

Qin Ming glanced at Ma Zeben and asked back, "What do you think?"

Ma Zeben hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. I think Hu You made a mistake this time. The situation in Donggong City is so tense. Why did he pull the troops of the two regiments to the southern part of Yanzhou instead of to the north to support Donggong City or to Langtian?"

A trace of contempt flashed in Qin Ming's eyes, and he raised his voice and said, "Do you think Hu You have taken the wrong chess? Then according to your judgment, where will the troops of Hu You two regiments eventually be pulled?"

Conrad looked around the map and suddenly said: "Hu You want to pull the troops to Rong Si, he wants to deal with us."

Qin Ming threw out the map he had held in his hand before, clicked the Rong Si who was circled by him, and said, "Hu You is not dealing with us, he wants to warn us not to interfere in Yanzhou."

Ma Zeben gritted his teeth and said, "Then are we just watching Hu You take Yanzhou into his pocket?"

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Hu You has a great ambition and has a very good grasp of the timing. In the early days of the violence, he kept his troops and allowed all kinds of monsters and monsters to jump out. Now, using thunder means, he wants to take all of Yanzhou into his pocket. Of course, we can't sit still and see his tricks succeed. After watching for so long, it's time for us to do something."

Conrad was overjoyed when he heard the sound: "General Qin Ming, are we going to send troops?"

"Send troops? Hahaha...No hurry, let's have fun first"

"General Li Shiqi, there is a tiger rushing ahead. The terrain here is dangerous, so we must be more careful to pass."

Li Shiqi looked at his deputy general with satisfaction and nodded, "Send a small team to pass quickly first and check the terrain situation in various places. The troops are divided into five thousand people in front, middle and back, and each team passes through ten minutes apart."

"Yes, General"

Seeing the troops act according to the orders, Li Shiqi felt a little comforted. In the eyes of the outside world, the Fire Army is an army composed of mobs. Only the core members know that although there are mobs, this army is essentially different from the mobs. Because the commanders at all levels in the army are all people who have been trained for many years after military training. To be honest, this is a regular force.

Although he suffered losses in Donggong City this time, the losses of those tens of thousands of people were nothing to him. Now is a violent era, and as long as he has money, he can have a large number of soldiers.

Li Shiqi carefully commanded the troops to rush through the tiger, but one or two, and no more. Facing Hu You, he had made many mistakes. If something went wrong, the boss in the backstage should be unhappy.

"The Young Marshal, the vanguard of the Fire Army, has passed through the tiger rush. It is estimated that the time for all the troops to pass through will be about half an hour."

Hu You looked around at the two thousand inner guard soldiers who were doing the last preparations before the war, nodded and said, "Very good, are the militia ready?"

This time, Hu You used the mountainous area behind Donggong City again. While Li Shiqi's troops were evacuating, he ordered to leave Donggong City. Due to the terrain, they rushed to the fire army for several hours and rushed in front of Li Shiqi.

This is an adventure military operation, both the requirements for withdrawal time and confidentiality are high. Once Li Shiqi finds out that something is wrong, he will turn around Donggong City. Then Donggong City is an empty city, and the bloody battle of a few days will no longer make sense. Zhailiang and other six cities will also lose their support.

Fortunately, everything seems to be going well so far. Thanks to Xuan Ri's help, she commanded the militia and completed the cover.

Now, Xuan Ri led her militia troops to follow the fire army. As for the war in Niucheping, she would lead the militia to block Li Shiqi's retreat.

"It's ready. As long as the fire army passes through the tiger rush, they will occupy the high ground and block the fire army's retreat."

Hu You was about to order the entire army to prepare for action, but suddenly his face changed drastically and looked at the direction of the tiger rushing, and said angrily: "What happened there? Why did the fire burn?"

The sudden burning wildfire attracted the attention of three parties. The first one to take action was the Fire Army. When Li Shiqi saw the wildfire, he immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, and the front team turned to the back team and retreated from the tiger rush.

Xuan Ri is now facing a big problem. Li Shiqi suddenly turned her head, making her not anxious. She has five thousand militias in her hands. According to the plan, they just use stones to block the way out of Lao Zhan. Even if they complete the task, they do not need to fight directly with Li Shiqi's troops, and they do not have the ability to fight.

The one who really participated in the battle was Hu You's two thousand troops. His mission was to launch an attack when Li Shiqi's entire army passed the tiger rush and his formation was unstable. With the powerful offensive of the five consecutive crossbows, Li Shiqi's fire army was pushed back into the tiger rush. The rest of his life was really to push stones to solve the problem.

There was a block at both ends, and the stones on the mountain kept falling down. Not to mention that Li Shiqi had only 15,000 people, even if he had 100,000 people, he would have to die in the tiger's rush.

However, this combat plan was simply destroyed by a sudden burning wildfire. When the fire broke out on the road ahead, Li Shiqi would definitely judge that there was an ambush ahead, so he quickly turned the troops and retreated from the tiger to rush to this dangerous place.

what to do?

Xuan Ri's militia and Ben could not resist the attack of the Fire Army. Now, there are two options in front of Hu You. First, if you are wrong, you will immediately order an attack. The other one will naturally take people out of the battle immediately. However, if you do so, Xuan Ri's five thousand militia will be finished. They have no strength to fight head-on with the Fire Army.

Two thousand people and 15,000 people head-on, even if there are five consecutive crossbows, Hu You can't get it. However, letting those militia suffer losses without paying attention, it will not only cause a major obstacle to his militia plan, but will also cause him to lose a large number of civilian support. Such losses are immeasurable.

Whether to fight or not is a dilemma, but Hu You don’t have time to think about it now. He must make a decision in an instant. The more he drags on, the more serious the consequences will be.

Hu You hates the man who set fire to death now. If he knows who did the good thing, he will definitely eat that guy raw.

"General Qin Ming, can we just set the fire like this?"

Ma Zeben's face was black and gray. When he spoke, his two rows of teeth were flipping up and down, and he looked at him a little scary.

Qin Ming's face was also covered with a lot of dust, but he was much better than Ma Zeben, and he was just a little dirty.

Conrad was the worst. This guy accidentally brought the fire with him, igniting his clothes and almost became a roast pig. He didn't count the mud rolling all over, but most of the clothes were burned, so he was stuck there and didn't dare to speak.

Qin Ming took his eyes back from the wildfire. He could not see the situation on Li Shiqi's side in this place, but he believed that as long as Li Shiqi's head was not stepped on by a horse, he would definitely not get into Hu You's ambush.

Qin Ming habitually stroked the scar on his neck and sneered: "Hu You feels uncomfortable this time."

That's right, this unknown wildfire was released by Qin Ming and Ma Zeben and Conrad. Two days ago, the three of them put on makeup and became ordinary people, and they secretly entered the Yanzhou area without a single soldier.

Li Shiqi and Hu You were fighting, while Qin Ming was watching. The bystander was clear. He naturally analyzed Hu You's combat plan, so he interfered with it and finished this.

Hu You is really in a dilemma now, but he has no choice but to advance and not retreat.

"Send a signal, the original plan is ruined, let Xuan Ri take people away"

"Brothers, bow and knife in hand, follow me"

Hu You yelled a few words, shook the overlord gun in his hand, and rushed out first.

"kill"

The two thousand soldiers of the Inner Guards also had their eyes red, and they rushed out with Hu You with their left crossbow and right sword. Their thoughts were not that complicated, and there was no need to think as much as Hu You, just follow Hu You to act.
