Chapter 62 Backfires

("readerFs").className = "rfs_" + rSetDef()[3]

Qu Neng's forehead was flat and his eyebrows were high, and his eyes became deeper. He looked at the Zhangyi Gate Tower for a long time, and his eyes made the generals around him feel sad.

The voice of his son Qu Liangcai said, "What a pity! So many brothers died in vain, but they still failed!"

A general next to him simply cursed: "Li Jinglong's mother, is it so difficult to send some reinforcements?!"

Qu Liangcai pondered: "When my father was in Hejian Mansion, he was bluntly advised, and seemed to have offended Duke Cao. When his son heard that Duke Cao was narrow-minded, was he deliberately doing bad things behind his back?"

The general just now cursed angrily: "Has his mother was kicked by a donkey! We have broken through Peiping, and the biggest credit is not his Li Jinglong?"

Qu Neng sighed a long time ago, withdrew his long-term staring look, and raised his arm to stop his generals while riding his horse. "Duke Cao would not be like this, or there would be any mistakes in the military orders being passed back and forth. Less gossip, it would be useless to be heard."

The general was still furious and said, "When the Governor was in Sichuan, there were no less than 100,000 troops in Sichuan. The Governor could still dispatch the envoys as armed. What does Li Jinglong mean to only give more than 100,000 people? If he had given the troops more and more, would we still complain here now? It would have been a long time since his mother started working in Peking City!"

"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud cannon sounded from Zhangyi Gate, followed by a thunderous sound of cannon sounded one after another.

The officers and soldiers screamed "necked" among the horses, and a horse fell to the ground with blood and flesh. The knight above was pressed under the horse and screamed.

Qu Neng slapped his horse away from the city wall, and the soldiers turned around and followed him. The soldiers brought the wounded soldiers and followed Qu Neng and left outside the Zhangyi Gate. There was no need to attack here.

A group of people moved to the south, and when they reached outside a corner building, they turned to the east and headed towards Lizhengmen.

While riding a horse, his son Qu Liangcai said, "The man who just stood on the city was Prince Gaoyang, and he was also the one who shouted to use cannons at the city gate. His son had seen him in Zhuozhou. This man is very skilled in martial arts!"

"When Mr. Xu talked about him, I still looked down on him. It was a mistake!" Qu Neng responded, "You should not be sent to chase him at that time. I should ask myself!"

Qu Neng paused and sighed again: "If King Gaoyang had not been allowed to escape, why would Changxing Hou be in the formation?"

If Geng Bingwen was not dead, would he still be Li Jinglong's turn?

However, there is no if afterwards.

When the crowd approached the central army, they saw flags like clouds. In the middle of the hushing, Li Jinglong came over on a horse. Qu Neng had a sinister face and slapped his horse forward, but he didn't say anything extra, just clasped his fists and said, "I will pay homage to Duke Cao."

Li Jinglong said: "I just ordered the general to lead troops to reinforce Governor Qu, but I heard that Governor Qu has retreated."

"There are few generals, and they dare not rush into the city, for fear of being trapped in a heavy siege, and the soldiers will die in vain. The generals had to line up to guard the city gate. However, the enemy soldiers and generals used cannons. At that time, our formation was dense and narrow. The generals could not hold on for a long time, so they had no choice but to retreat." Qu Neng said.

Li Jinglong hurriedly comforted: "It's okay. Governor Qu will attack Zhangyi Sect again tomorrow, and I will transfer the army to the rear of the palace! Governor Qu can break the city today, and he will definitely break the city in the future. Next time we will fight in!"

Qu Neng said helplessly: "I am afraid that the opportunity must not be lost, and I will never come again..."

As expected, when the official army attacked Zhangyi Gate the next day, the city had already sent more troops and had heavy weapons to guard against. The official army repeatedly climbed the city and attacked fiercely, which was just to ruin more soldiers.

After a few days, the official army surrounded the four sides and attacked from many places, but it was still difficult to make up for it. On the battlefield, the fighter planes were always fleeting, and often only had one chance; after missing it, I don’t know when the next chance will be waiting.

At this time, the siege was even more violent than before. The officials continued to shell, ants, and even dig caves underground to attack, but there was no results for many days.

...After a little time, it was mid-October and the weather suddenly became cold. One morning, when the official army was about to attack the city, they found that the walls of Beiping were covered with ice! Last night, the defenders of Beiping watered the city walls on all sides overnight... The frozen city walls were no longer able to be siege the city.

At this moment, the food shortage of government troops became increasingly serious!

Even worse news was reported to the central army... The King of Yan actually kidnapped the King of Ning who was seeing him off on the way to pretend to leave Daning! Then the King of Yan turned around to attack Daning and broke into the city. The Daning guards and the three guards of Urianha were in total with a total force of nearly 80,000... They all surrendered to the King of Yan!

The generals in the official army had already suggested withdrawing their troops, but Li Jinglong hesitated... At this time, the tunnel of the acupuncture had finally achieved some results, and it was obvious that all the previous efforts could be wasted; once the troops were withdrawn, many problems might occur.

With a large number of infantry and baggage, if the official army suddenly retreats and travels south along the plains in a mess, will it be chased by the cavalry of the King of Yan? Will the people and horses in the city of Beiping come out and follow and chase after it? There are as many as 500,000 official army. If they are chased by tens of thousands of defenders, would they not be scolded to death if they are sent back!

Li Jinglong decided to send the governor Chen Hui to lead his army to the northeast to block the attack, and then deploy a retreat plan!

...A little over two days, when Li Jinglong was worried, someone suddenly walked into the central army's tent and knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the Grand Marshal, General Chen's men were suddenly attacked by the elite cavalry, and all seven military camps were destroyed. The troops under General Chen were defeated south!"

"Why have I lost? I only learned the news?" Li Jinglong was furious.

The general kneeling on the ground didn't know how to answer.

Unexpectedly, before Li Jinglong could vent his anger, someone reported: "Master, the defenders in the city came out of Deshengmen, and the generals in the north asked to transfer reinforcements to help the battle!"

"Can the defenders come out?" Li Jinglong roared.

A general next to him hurriedly said, "Chief, please calm down. We have not built fortifications to siege the city. The defenders can leave the city at any time. At this time, the vanguard of the King of Yan is approaching, and the defenders will definitely leave the city to attack!"

Li Jinglong sat back on the chair and said coldly: "I ordered all generals not to retreat and fight with all their might! Even if our 500,000 army is set up to start a decisive battle, we are not afraid of Yan Ni!"

"Abide by the order!"

Fortunately, it was getting late at this time, and the attacks of the Yan army inside and outside stopped.

After nightfall, Li Jinglong became more and more restless... He thought to himself: The army had poor food and grass, and the army was in turmoil. At this time, the army was attacked for many days, and the troops were exhausted and attacked by inside and outside. How could he fight?

He suddenly thought of Geng Bingwen's tragic situation, and cold sweat suddenly emerged!

Li Jinglong thought again: My father is Taizu's nephew and Taizu's adopted son, and his grandmother is Taizu's elder sister. He has not enjoyed enough wealth and honor, so why should I seek death?

At this moment, Li Jinglong felt a little regretful, regretting that he shouldn't have run to the battlefield for the sake of that little credit... But who knew it would turn out like this?! I thought that a 500,000-strong army attacked the Yan King, wouldn't it be easy to take a piece of fish?

Unfortunately, things in the world always go against their wishes.
