Chapter 117: Abandon the city and flee

Fortunately, Tang Zi did not seize this effective opportunity, but chose to retreat, which made him put his heart down and began to think about how to defeat Lin Yi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

To say that Lin Yi's army is indeed much stronger than Tang Zi and them, at least until now, there has been no surrender, and not only that, their counterattack has also caused a lot of losses on their side, after all, Qin Di brought light cavalry with average combat ability.

And just when Po Zhanye wanted to take the heavy armor army around him to meet Lin Yi for a while, he did find that he had the intention of retreating with a large army.

"General Po, what should I do? Do you want me to take the light cavalry around behind them and block them here? Qin Di also discovered Lin Yi's attempt to retreat, so he asked.

"Not necessarily." Po Zhanye shook his head, Lin Yi is not an ordinary general, as the city lord of the first city in Eastern Xinjiang, he can be said to have rich combat experience, and his combat power is not bad, if he really surrounds the other party and forces others, it will eventually be the result of losing both, although in the end he can rely on the powerful Broken Family Army to destroy the opponent, but his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced, if this is the result, what will he do to break through Sizhou?

So Po Zhanye made a decision, that is, to let Lin Yi leave, and then raise a large army to attack Sizhou, without Lin Yi, Sizhou is no longer in his eyes.

"Order the soldiers to attack and fight hard, even if Lin Yi wants to escape, he must first take off his three layers of skin." After thinking about it, he made the most correct decision, that is, to grasp the big and let go of the small, compared to being able to enter Sizhou, the life of a Lin Yi is secondary.

After Lin Yi's side had no one to stop him from retreating, he could leave calmly, but because of the order given by Po Zhanye, his retreat still paid a lot of price, at least nearly half of the men and horses were left here, but at this time he also had no ability to save those besieged subordinates, because the naked eye could already see that millions of reinforcements from the Tianfeng Empire were coming, if he didn't leave, I am afraid that there would be no chance.

Zongma came to the city of Sizhou, looked at Tang Zi on the city wall, Lin Yi scolded loudly: "General Tang, General Bai, you have to be responsible for today's failure, I will definitely tell Emperor Tang about this, you are the sinners of Sizhou." ”

Tang Zi originally felt ashamed of Lin Yi, and even thought about opening the city to let them in, but now when he heard these words, he immediately changed his mind, stood on the city wall and snorted coldly: "Lin Yi, don't think that what you did was right, if you went out of the city with me before, and now I am afraid that you have already won the battle field, then why is Sizhou in such a critical situation, so it is clear that you were the first to fight, and now you are indeed blaming everything on my head, you are clearly shirking responsibility." ”

Lin Yi also knew that this was not the time to care, because he had already led the army to catch up with him, if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would inevitably have a scuffle, and with the 600,000 defeated soldiers he was bringing now, it was naturally impossible for him to be someone's opponent.

With an angry snort, Lin Yi led the army under the city gate and went straight to Dong'an Town in the southwest.

On the city wall, Bai Fengxian said with some worry, "Great Prince, are we really not letting City Lord Lin in?" How can it be said that he also has an army of 600,000 under his command, which is a force to be reckoned with. ”

"You know what, didn't you see that the Broken War Wild was chasing so close? If we open the city gate now, if we can't put in Lin Yi and put in the Tianfeng Empire's army, if so, Sizhou will not be protected. Tang Zi's appearance of focusing on the overall situation completely covered up his personal revenge against Lin Yi.

Hearing Tang Zi's explanation, Bai Fengxian had to sigh in his heart, it would be strange if he couldn't see what the eldest prince was thinking, after all, he had been with him for so long. It's just that Lin Yi was blown away at this time, which was very unfavorable to defending Sicheng, and even he was thinking that in the face of the army that broke the battle field, it would be necessary to say whether he would be able to defend the city.

Long Wu, who was mixed in the army of the Tianfeng Empire, saw all this in his eyes, he naturally had some contempt for Tang Zi, he did something wrong without repentance, and he had to blame all his mistakes on the heads of others, so it was no wonder that people who had no responsibility had to be blasted out of Fengyun City by Emperor Tang, they really deserved it.

However, Tang Zi's approach gave him a chance, and Long Wu was thinking that if Lin Yi was in trouble, he could consider helping the other party, no matter how he formed a good fate, it was best to take him under his account.

This battle has already made Long Wu see Lin Yi's war talent, thinking that there are too few capable generals under the eldest brother Chu Yang, this person is a talent.

After Po Zhanye came to the city of Sizhou with the vanguard army, he began to organize people to attack the city, obviously he wanted to expand the results of the battle, and take advantage of the chaos of the other party to break the city in one fell swoop.

Finally, the army of the Tianfeng Empire behind him came, a full five million people, and this began a frantic siege.

Catapults and siege vehicles continued to drive towards Sizhou, and the broken battle field with nearly seven million troops began wave after wave of siege battles.

Looking at the dense crowd under the city, Tang Zi, who was standing on the city wall, became a little flustered.

To say that Sizhou has not been attacked before, but firstly, there is not such a big formation, and secondly, everything is commanded by Lin Yi, and Tang Zi just stays in the city lord's mansion and listens to himself, but now everything is indeed under his command, how not to panic.

"Organize people, go up to the city wall to fight back, throw arrows, throw stones, throw huge trees, in short, don't let them break through the city gates." Tang Zi said in a bit of a panic.

Bai Fengxian hurriedly followed Tang Zi's instructions, and began to pour the boulders, giant trees, bows and arrows, and flammable copper oil that had been prepared in the city long ago.

A large number of counter-siege materials fell from under the city wall, which indeed stopped the siege pace of the army that broke the war, but after all, things are limited, and in addition to Bai Fengxian's unfavorable command, these counter-siege materials that could have been used for a period of time were indeed used up quickly under his nervousness, but when it was dark, he sadly found that there was nothing available, and the new batch of materials purchased had not yet been shipped in time, which created a short vacuum period.

"Rush." The broken battle field under the city that was illuminated by torches discovered this loophole in time, and immediately commanded the army to rush forward without fear, and the front was the 500,000 men of Tang Zi who surrendered to him during the day.

Anyway, if you surrender the army, even if you die, you won't feel much distressed when you break the battlefield, even if you are a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner.

Without the weapon of counterattacking the city, it is natural that it will not be so easy to defend the city, seeing that the siege vehicle came to the city gate as if it had entered a no-man's land, and began to hit the city gate hard, Bai Fengxian, who was standing on the city wall, panicked, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the city lord's mansion.

Tang Zi had just returned, and he was a little tired from the day's fighting, so he thought about taking a good rest, but the guards reported that General Bai was coming.

As soon as Bai Fengxian entered the City Lord's Mansion and saw Tang Zi, he hurriedly said loudly: "Great Prince, the big thing is not good, the city gate may be breached, I think we should hurry up and escape." ”

"What? How can it be so fast? Hearing that the city gate was about to be broken, Tang Zi was naturally surprised, in his opinion, the city wall of Sizhou is tall, how can it block the enemy for a few days, and as long as he is given time, it will not be long before Fengyun City should send reinforcements to come, and at that time he will have the ability to counterattack.

But Tang Zi didn't want to think about it, although Bai Fengxian was once the lord of a city, when was Fengyun City in danger, so it might be okay for him, the city lord, to lead the troops to fight, but when it came to defending the city, it was too far away, and he didn't have any experience at all.

After being surprised, Tang Zi didn't have to do anything, so he hurriedly put on his armor, and then led his men with Bai Fengxian from the west gate to the city behind him.

Tang Zi and Bai Fengxian both fled, and the news was not hidden for long, and it was soon known to the generals under Yuan Lin Yi who were still guarding the city.

learned that Tang Zi not only left, but also took away the two million belonging to his men, in other words, now the city is defended by Lin Yi's original subordinates, after half a day of fierce fighting, they are now only a few hundred thousand left

With hundreds of thousands against six or seven million, they don't have to think about it, they also know what the result is, so someone immediately proposed to abandon the city, go out from the south gate to Dong'an City, and follow Lin Yi's city lord.

This proposal was quickly accepted by the other generals, and for a while everyone was busy, and began to leave through the south gate with his men, and Sizhou became an empty city for a while.

The city that no one guards is naturally easy to attack, and Po Zhanye took the siege vehicle to crash open the east city gate, and entered the city of Sizhou. However, General Po, who has always been good at seizing opportunities, immediately ordered his men and soldiers to divide into two routes, all the way to the west to pursue Tang Zi and Bai Fengxian, and all the way south to pursue Lin Yi's men, in short, he still wanted to continue to expand the results of the battle. At the same time, he also asked Qin Di to report to the Tianfeng Emperor's ** Department and ask for help, to occupy more cities, just the soldiers who defend the city need a lot of people, and it is natural to ask for help.

Long Wu followed the army and did not swallow more Gang Qi here, which made him a little discouraged, thinking that it was time to leave the Tianfeng Empire's army, otherwise once the war stabilized, I was afraid that someone would come to identify his identity, so after thinking about it, he quietly walked out of the south city gate and ran in the direction of Lin Yi's escape.

And just as Long Wu had just left the city, behind him, Zhou Ying also led a million troops out of the city gate.

Zhou Ying was ordered to go to pursue the remnants of Lin Yi who had fled from here.
