Chapter 126: The City Lord of Heji
Now that they were being attacked from both sides, the generals who knew that the situation was not good came up with the idea, saying whether to slip away from under the south city gate, leave Sizhou first, and then return to the ancient city of the Tianfeng Empire, and join the army to counterattack Sizhou.

Zhou Ying also knew that this was the best way at the moment, otherwise it would be possible to hit Lin Yi hard, but in the end, his million-strong army would be thrown here if he didn't get it right.
Zhou Ying, who didn't want to die, or didn't want to die like this, nodded, and then led the main force around the south gate and went straight to the direction of the ancient city under the escort of the generals.
Seeing that Zhou Ying's main force wanted to run, Liu Yan wanted to chase and kill with the army, but Lin Yi stopped him, "Poor Kou Mo chase, I can't ask for too many benefits if I go up now, our troops are limited, let's focus on defending the city." ”
Liu Yan also knew that the current situation was that if one person died, there would be one less, and there would be no additional troops, so he suppressed the plan to pursue Zhou Ying.
In this battle, more than 300,000 Zhou Ying were destroyed, more than 300,000 people were captured by the god of death, and less than 500,000 people escaped, which can be said to be another big victory.
The Grim Reaper listened to Long Wu's order and brought a total of 500,000 captives to the Remnant Dragon Spectrum, and then screened them, and Long Wu walked back to Sizhou City with a swagger.
Lin Yi and Liu Yan led the generals to welcome at the gate of the city, and they were able to occupy Sizhou tonight, and at the same time severely damaged the enemy's army of 2.5 million, and the greatest credit was Longwu, and it was also a duty to go out of the city to greet it.
At the time of near dawn, the banner of the Fengyun Empire was re-hung on the city wall of Sizhou City.
At the dawn of the day, the changes in Sizhou City also reached the ears of Qin Di, the second prince of the Tianfeng Empire, who was returning to the city for renovation.
As soon as he heard that Sizhou behind him was occupied, Qin Di was frightened, so he went straight to the Broken War Field Army camp outside Yangzhou City on the front line with the news.
Po Zhanye did not see the good news from Zhou Ying, but on the contrary, he did see the news of the occupation of Sizhou, and he was also angry and surprised on the spot.
Po Zhanye couldn't imagine how Lin Yi did it, in his eyes, this city lord of Sizhou was indeed not an ordinary person, at least more clever than ordinary generals, but it was just smarter, if he had such combat power, it seemed unlikely. Because in the past, the Tianfeng Empire and Lin Yi had their own battles and won and lost, could it be said that this person had been hiding all the time before, and he was deliberately showing weakness?
I couldn't figure out why Lin Yi suddenly became so powerful, and even broke through Sizhou, which was finally taken, shook his head and didn't think about it.
"General Po, Sizhou is occupied, which means that our back road is cut off, I see if you will lead the army back and take Sizhou back first?" Qin Di said worriedly.
As the second prince of a country, and the second prince who obviously can't inherit the throne, in his eyes, military merit is secondary, and life is the first.
Po Zhanye shook his head, and said with a disapproving look, "The second prince doesn't have to worry, I'll repair a book and send a letter to the emperor's ** department, and ask them to send someone to recover Sizhou, but it's just a lonely city, it's nothing, I said, we have nearly five million troops in our hands, if Lin Yi dares to come, let him go and not return." ”
Po Zhanye is still very confident in himself, of course, he also knows that it is indeed not a beneficial thing for Sizhou to be out of his control, such as the back road being cut off, for example, the reinforcements cannot arrive in time. But now let him turn back and come back, it is absolutely impossible, who can guarantee that if he retreats, Tang Zi in Yangzhou will not take the opportunity to kill? If this is the case, Lin Yi, who is in Sizhou, also sends troops to attack him, then he will be attacked from both sides.
Therefore, it is better to retreat like this, it is better to stick to the same place, at least give people a look that he is not afraid at all, thinking that this should be able to deceive Tang Zi not to act rashly, at this time, it is more patience and courage.
In Yangzhou City, Tang Zi also received a flying eagle message from Lin Yi of Sizhou at dawn, telling him about his reconquest of Sizhou, and asking Tang Zi if he could send troops to storm the war field, and then Sizhou would stab behind him to achieve the effect of attacking on both sides.
As soon as he received the letter, Tang Zi called Bai Fengxian, and then handed the letter over, "Take a look, what do you think?" ”
Bai Fengxian didn't know what was going on, but as soon as he took the letter and read it, his face was full of joy, "Great prince, this is a great thing." This is a God-given opportunity to fight back and break through the battlefield, and we should seize it. ”
"Good chances? Hum! How I don't think. Tang Zi snorted coldly, and looked at Bai Fengxian's face with a little coldness.
"Huh?" Bai Fengxian stood there puzzled for a while, in his opinion, this is a good opportunity to break the battlefield with a two-sided clamp, while Sizhou is still in his hands, suddenly attack the ancient city, and then the Yangzhou army is out of the city to kill the battlefield, at that time I don't understand the current crisis, but why does Tang Zi not agree to such a good plan? Could it be that he has other plans?
Bai Fengxian thought well, Tang Zi did have other plans.
Before the Tianfeng Empire attacked, Tang Zi was just a deposed prince, and his identity was not much better than others, the only thing was that he had a surname Tang. But now that the battlefield broke out, his identity became noble, because his surname was Tang and he had the blood of the Tang Emperor, so in the eyes of outsiders, he was the most loyal person to the Fengyun Empire, in other words, anyone could rebel and surrender in the war, even the lord of a city was possible, but Tang Zi would not, because the Fengyun Empire was, in a sense, the product of his family.
It is precisely because of this reason that Tang Zi's identity has also begun to rise, and even he received a letter from the Minister of War who had taken refuge under his door last night, saying that someone had already mentioned it in front of Emperor Tang, whether to reactivate the question of whether to reactivate him, after all, he is the biggest person in charge of the war in Eastern Xinjiang now.
Thinking that maybe he could really use the war to achieve the purpose of improving his identity, the eldest prince would naturally do it.
Of course, if you want to do this, there is a premise, that is, the military situation is tight, on the contrary, if the situation is good, then his identity as a prince is not important, for this reason, what he needs now is that the more chaotic the eastern frontier of Fengyun City, the better, only the more chaotic and more critical, his importance can be better reflected.
If that's the case, how could he possibly seize the opportunity to wipe out the Broken War Field? Not to mention, there is still a certain risk in doing this thing, and if it is not done well, it will lead to defeat, if that is the case, even Yangzhou City is not guaranteed, then he is too derelict in his duty, and it is impossible to be enabled in this way.
Therefore, from a comprehensive analysis, occupying Yangzhou City and not being breached is the best result for Tang Zi, which naturally after receiving Lin Yi's letter, he will be indifferent.
Bai Fengxian is not a prince, and he has never wanted to become an emperor, so he naturally doesn't know Tang Zi's true thoughts. However, even if the eldest prince said that it was not a good opportunity, he just listened to it, since he stepped down from the position of the city lord of Fengyun City, he knew that his fate would be tied to Tang Zi in the future.
"Well, although there is a chance to send troops now, it is really not big, and if you don't get it, you will be hit by the other party's plan, after saying that the combat power of breaking the war field is not bad, relying on these forces in Yangzhou is really not finished to win, I agree with the opinion of the eldest prince, it is better to brake quietly." Bai Feng hesitated for a moment, but still made a decision. Although he didn't think about it so much, he really firmly believed that listening to Tang Zi would never be wrong.
Hearing Bai Fengxian say this, Tang Zi's face showed a smile, "Yes, my concerns are the same as General Bai's, the opportunity is not suitable now, and let's see how long Lin Yi can hold out there, of course, if the army that breaks the battle field is forced to retreat, we can seize the opportunity to beat the water dogs." ”
"Yes, the eldest prince is wise." borrowed the face, Bai Fengxian hurriedly slapped a sycophant.
As soon as the two of them made a decision, the shouts of the guards came from outside the door, "The city lord has arrived." ”
The city lord of He is the city lord of Yangzhou, He Ji, as the city lord of the second main line of defense of the Fengyun Emperor's eastern frontier, although he is not as good as Lin Yi in terms of military talent, but it is not comparable to ordinary generals, it can also be said that he still has his own vision for doing things.
He Ji appeared in Tang Zi's mansion in time, and it was obvious that he should have received a letter from Lin Yi and knew that Sizhou had changed hands.
In fact, it was the reason why Lin Yi also wrote to He Ji. To say that City Lord Lin and Tang Zi had also stayed together for a period of time, and knew that this person was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, so he did not put all his hopes on him, and this time he sent a message to City Lord He at the same time is very revealing.
"General Tang, General Bai." He Ji walked into Tang Zi's mansion in armor, and then clasped his fists and saluted.
"Lord He." Bai Fengxian also hurriedly returned the salute, although the identities of the two were almost the same, he was also the lord of a city before, and he was also the lord of the place where the imperial city of Fengyun City was located, but after all, it was a matter in front of him, and now he didn't dare to be so big.
He Ji nodded to Bai Fengxian, and after showing his politeness, he looked at Tang Zi and said, "General Tang, I don't know if you have received a letter from the Lord of Lin City, now that Sicheng has been recovered, it is a great opportunity for us to strike at the army of the Broken War Field." ”
Tang Ziyi, who had already guessed what He Ji was about, pretended not to understand and asked, "Oh? Great opportunity? What chances? ”
He Ji was stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand that with Tang Zi's gaze, he should be able to see that it was the time to break through the army of the war field from both sides, but why did the other party pretend to be confused?
