The 296th section breaks the city (2)
Yuan Huaihe looked at the east and north walls that were still in a fierce battle with complex eyes, and was a little lost for a moment.
The fire, the smoke, the shouts, the loud noise of the car hitting the city gate, the vibration of the city wall falling, all of this was like a scene of disillusionment.
Yuan Huaihe could clearly see that the Xuzhou army's offensive became more and more fierce, especially when he saw two small heavenly strong men taking the lead in the city to launch a strong attack without any fear of threat from magic and powerful crossbows, he knew that the Xuzhou army was going to fight.
When the powerful people in the small heaven are not afraid of their own life and death, there are only two possibilities: one is that the situation is so bad that they can only rely on the powerful people in the small heaven to fight to the death. The other is that the war has reached a critical moment when one blow is needed. For the Xuzhou army, the current situation obviously belongs to the latter.
The breakthrough brought by the two small heavenly powerhouses was like rolling Tang Woxue. Wherever they went, they were almost at a loss. Even if the Caizhou army, whose morale was already at a disadvantage, was still on the verge of collapse even if they rely on the city defense facilities.
In addition to magical crossbows and magic weapons, other means are simply ineffective against the powerful people in the small heavenly position. Magical weapons also require master-level magical weapons to pose a threat to them. How long can this situation last?
He could not hold on anymore, and he had already realized this when Yuan Wuwei died in battle.
At this time, he realized how naive and naive Caizhou wanted to defend Songcheng. Jiang Feng even transferred all the Heshuo army that had been preparing to seize Heshuo to attack Songcheng, which was enough to show that he was determined to win this battle, but he placed his hope on the illusory attack of the Shatuo people.
The Shatuo people have not yet entered Fangcheng Pass, and they have fought fiercely with the Nanyang army on the northern foot of Fangcheng Mountain in Funiu Mountain, which makes Yuan Huaihe unable to understand.
Where did the Shatuo Iron Cavalry, who was like a rainbow when fighting Daliang? When did the Nanyang Army become so strong and difficult, even more tenacious than Daliang Army?
If he is unwilling to admit it, Yuan Huaihe also knows that the situation is over. Now he needs to consider how to preserve his own strength to the greatest extent.
If Xuzhou is willing to accept the surrender of Yuan's family now, Yuan Huaihe is even willing to express his surrender to Jiang Feng, but he is also very clear that Jiang Feng would probably not give the Yuan family any chance to breathe, and he could only surrender, and it would not be possible to receive treatment like Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mao.
"Head of the family?!" the guard next to him said anxiously.
Yuan Huaihe waved his hand tiredly and stopped the other party's words. The situation was irreversible. How should we deal with it now?
There are still thousands of soldiers in the city, but there are still a large number of soldiers entangled on the walls on both sides. If you don’t make a decision, you will really have to end up with the destruction of the entire army.
The Xicheng Gate is still controlled by the Caizhou Army. The news from the scouts also said that no ambush was found from Songcheng to Ningling and Zhecheng. The Caizhou cavalry outside the city has been on standby, but all this seems to be so peaceful often contains greater murderous intent, and surrounded by three quarries and one. Is the Xuzhou Army really planning to release the Caizhou Army?
Obviously it was impossible. The reason for creating such a situation was to force the Caizhou army to withdraw from Songcheng and flee westward. At this time, they could leisurely urge the cavalry army to come all the way. At that time, the Caizhou army could not organize resistance at all.
But what if you stay in the city?
The Xuzhou army has too great military strength. Once it enters the city, even if it is a street fighting, the final result will be the entire army is destroyed, and there will be no second result.
Yuan Huaihe had no idea for a moment.
This is really a difficult choice. I originally thought that I could last for seven to ten days, or at least five days, but I didn't expect that I would break the city in one day. This was an unexpected situation.
It is meaningless to blame Yuan Wuwei at this time. Yuan Huaihe could understand Yuan Wuwei's idea. If he did not break the stone cannon car formation with absolute advantage, Song Cheng and Caizhou army would be bombarded and killed by the other party in this way. Yuan Wuwei never believed that the Shatuo people would hate shocking actions in these few days, so he chose to fight to the death like this. Of course, he failed, but he didn't expect that the Heshuo army would take advantage of the situation to break the city.
A cavalry came, and the soldiers on board rolled off their saddles and handed over a letter.
After taking it, Yuan Huaihe looked at ten lines at once, and hurriedly passed by, unable to help but sighed sadly.
The Shatuo people did not break through Fangcheng Pass according to the Caizhou army's suggestions, but directly raided Xiangcheng from Bizhou overnight. At the same time, they didn't know what Shatuo people used to understand the Xiao family. The Xiangyang army divided into two armies and went north and east, one army conquered Rang County, the former prefecture of Dengzhou, and the other army attacked Tangcheng in Suizhou, confronting Liu Xuan's army on the front line of Tangcheng.
After capturing Xiangcheng, the Nanyang army, which was still on the front line of Fangchengshan, Funiu Mountain, was almost completely cut off. Even if Liu Tong had the power to turn the world back, it would be difficult to reverse. The problem was that this was no longer meaningful to Caizhou. Now that Songcheng has been broken, Ningling and Zhecheng cannot defend, and even Bozhou and Yingzhou are afraid of it. Perhaps the only hope is whether they can defend Chenzhou. This is the key.
Thinking of this, Yuan Huaihe's face was already a bit decisive.
************
Three hours later, with the Heshuo Army and Ziqing Army who flocked to Songcheng, the convergence of the governor's mansion in Songcheng City, officially announced that Songzhou had fallen into Xuzhou again, but Jiang Feng was in a bad mood.
"Captains can't stop it?"
"Return to the prince, Yuan Jun who came from Ningling tried his best to block it..."
"Gu didn't ask this question, Gu just asked what the cavalry of the Heshuo Army and Ziqing Army were doing?"
The hall was full of slaughter. Although he had just taken Songcheng, everyone knew that not only had a considerable price to capture the city, but the key was that Yuan Huaihe actually led two armies to break out, leaving only a group of defeated soldiers to hold back the Heshuo Army and Ziqing Army that were then covered up.
"The prince, Shi Jingtang's troops of the Jin army captured Xiangyi and marched towards Ningling. It is said that Yuan Huaihe took the initiative to hand over the defense of these two cities to the Shatuo people." Zhu Mi knew that he had to stand up at this time, "the subordinates made a decision without authorization and ordered the cavalry to enter Ningling first and occupy Ningling City."
Jiang Feng's face looked ugly, and the Shatuo people finally took action. Although it was a little late, it still brought a lot of pressure to their side.
It has to be admitted that the Shatuo people's cavalry over the years still has a great deterrent effect on these generals who had dealt with them.
Shi Jingtang is known as one of the two heroes under Li Cunhou who runs side by side with Liu Zhiyuan. His strength cannot be underestimated. Zhu Mi's arrangement is nothing wrong with this. It is a bit regrettable that he lets Yuan Huaihe go.
But then again, Yuan Huaihe was determined to leave, but no one could stop him. However, his five thousand dragon bird tail escaped at least two thousand people, which was still a little unhappy. With several times the force of troops, they actually broke free from the net. The elite of the Caizhou Army and the newly formed Heshuo Army still had to be better at fighting power. This is an objective fact, and it is impossible not to accept it.
"The prince, the Shatuo people did not regard the Yuan family as an ally, otherwise they would not have chosen to take action at this time. Of course, it is also possible that they miscalculated our attack power. Unexpectedly, we only took one day to defeat Songcheng."
Cui Shang has also arrived on the battlefield. As Song Cheng falls into Xuzhou's hands, the entire Central Plains situation will usher in a drastic change, and he must be by Jiang Feng's side.
This battle is not just about the gains and losses of Songcheng. Songcheng fell into the hands of Xuzhou, and then the Yuan family of Songzhou and even Yingbo and Bo are no longer able to defend. Yang Kan can advance westward in Bozhou. If the Caizhou army dares to continue to entrench in Yingbo and Bo, then Cai and Chen are not allowed to defend. If the Yuan family is smart at this time, they can still rely on Cai and Chenzhou to resist for a while.
"Bai Ling, I'm afraid it's not as simple as not treating Caizhou as an ally. With the temperament of those Shatuo people, in their minds, there are only two types of available and unavailable. If you can use it, you can cooperate temporarily. If you can't use it, just one word, kill it!" Jiang Feng's expression was a little slow, but he was even more solemn.
He always thought that the Shatuo people might take the attitude of watching the tiger fight against the war in Xuzhou and Caizhou, but now it seems that he still underestimated the Shatuo people's vigilance towards him. He chose to suddenly march into Xiangyi at this time, which was undoubtedly another test, but this time he still hit the head-on as he did the last time?
"Now they suddenly sent troops to Songzhou, perhaps the war in the west has made significant progress." Jiang Feng frowned, "No news has been heard from Wuwentang?"
"Not yet. The news that came last time was just saying that the Xiao family was attacking Suizhou and Rang County, but the war was not clear, and Liu Tong, on the line between Funiu Mountain and Fangcheng Mountain, still stabilized his position." Cui Shang was also a little confused.
Before he finished speaking, he rode flying over and submitted a letter.
Jiang Feng browsed a little, his face changed slightly, and he handed it to Cui Shang: "Liu Zhiyuan detours Bizhou, raids Xiangcheng and kills Liu Lan. Li Cunhou led the five sons of Guo to defeat the Nanyang army in Lushan. Liu Tong escaped by himself. Humph, the Shatuo people took over more than 30,000 troops in one fell swoop."
Cui Shang's face also changed, "Liu Tong is over, Prince, what should I do with Liu Xuan?"
"Order Yang Kan to speed up the progress and take down the two prefectures of Yingbo!" Jiang Feng's face turned cold, "Send Hou Chen to Xiangyang immediately, agree to the Xiao family to control Rang County and Suizhou, and send someone to explain to Liu Xuan, forget it, I will write to Liu Yu, she should understand the priorities!"
Cui Shang quickly wrote down the order, "Where is Shi Jingtang in Xiangyi?"
This is also a difficult problem.
The location of Xiangyi is not important, but it is a signal. How to achieve a favorable, reasonable and concise counterattack is a very skilled job.
