The offensive and defensive battle of Fengxian County has been carried out on the tenth day, and the county seat of Fengxian County has been completely destroyed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The outer walls have been almost completely destroyed, and the remaining ruins are stained with blood, showing the severity of the war fought here. There were only about 5,000 people left in the Houtu camp, and they were still desperately resisting in the streets of the city.

This county was once the most prosperous place for the commodity trade between the Ming and Qi countries, and there used to be 200,000 small people in the city, which was almost comparable to some smaller county towns, but now, it is empty, like a ghost town.

Before the war, all the people had been dismissed to Taiping City and other places, and the Ming Dynasty had actually been prepared for Feng County to be conquered by the opponent, and even Shayang County, Qin Feng was ready to give up. Being able to withstand the attack of the Qi army for five days is far beyond everyone's imagination.

The reason why Feng County has not been completely conquered is because of the existence of Yinggu and Min Ruoxi.

Ying Gu is a grandmaster, five days after the war, she caused great damage to the Qi people, there are already three ninth-level masters, killed in the hands of Yinggu, until the army of the Qi people, there is also a grandmaster, this makes Yinggu have an opponent, the power to contain the Qi army is greatly reduced, the only task of this Qi grandmaster is to keep an eye on Yinggu, where Yinggu appears, he will track it down.

Lost Yinggu's strategy, the Ming army's garrison immediately took care of one and the other, and Min Ruoxi, who had not been allowed to step on the front line, also went into battle, Min Ruoxi was a master at the ninth level, but in the Qi army lineup, there was no shortage of opponents who could compete with her, and now there were Cao Hui and Guo Xiancheng who could pose a great threat to Min Ruoxi.

In fact, Min Ruoxi's appearance on the battlefield played a major role in boosting the morale of the soldiers. As long as she appears on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Ming army can always exert their strength and exert their skills.

But even so, Feng County is already crumbling.

"Mother, you have to get out of here." Liu Xingwen, who was covered in blood and scarred on his armor, knelt down in front of Min Ruoxi, "Tomorrow, the Qi people will launch a general attack, and Fengxian can't hold it." Please leave with Aunt Ying immediately, go to Shayang County, there, there is also Chen Jialuo's Tiger Battalion, and ask Niangniang to go to Shayang County to supervise the battle. ”

"I'm not going to leave the battlefield." Min Ruoxi sat cross-legged on the soft couch, and had a fierce battle with Cao Hui during the day, and she suffered internal injuries.

"Niangniang, in this battle, we don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, as long as His Majesty the Emperor wins, all the losses on our side are worth it." Liu Xingwen said urgently. "Under the city of Zhengyang, our army is about to launch a general attack, the barbarians are already at the end of the crossbow, a battle can be decided, annihilation of the barbarians, our army can rush to aid Shayang. Even if it is too late, as long as we hold Zhengyang County, we will have completed the goal set by His Majesty the Emperor, and wait until the army returns, and then fight a decisive battle with the Qi people. ”

"Princess, Liu Xingwen is right, we have been defending Feng County for ten days, and we have already exceeded the goals and tasks set before the war, and now it is time to retreat. Tomorrow, once the enemy launches a general attack, we want to go, but we can't. Aunt Ying persuaded on the side.

Min Ruoxi closed her eyes for a long time, "If you want to go, let's go together." Abandoning Feng County, the surviving soldiers joined me, not to retreat to Shayang County, but to Yanshan and back to Taiping City. ”

"Niangniang, now that the Qi people are eyeing each other, our every move can't escape the surveillance of the opponent at all, it is too difficult to retreat together, it doesn't matter if the whole army of the Houtu Battalion is killed, but Niangniang can't have a trace of damage, with the ability of Niangniang and Yinggu, it is easy to get out of the battlefield, but if it is with us, then no one will be able to leave." Liu Xingwen shook his head and said: "And on the way to Yanshan, the enemy has stationed a force of 3,000 people, and they have long prevented us from retreating to Yanshan." ”

"I'm not going to leave my troops behind again." Min Ruoxi closed her eyes and no longer paid attention to Liu Xingwen, but what she thought in her mind was that she left the border army in the Luoying Mountain Range, and finally tens of thousands of border troops were wiped out in the Luoying Mountain Range, and the guards who protected her were also on the road to escape all the way, and they died one by one, and only Guo Jiuling and Qin Feng who arrived later survived in the end, which was the pain of her life.

This time, she didn't want to leave alone again.

"!" Liu Xingwen shouted, and Aunt Ying shook her head at him: "General Liu, the princess has made up her mind, there is no need to say more, you go down and prepare, at midnight, the whole army will attack the enemy in the direction of Yanshan, how many can rush out, count a few!" ”

Liu Xingwen stood up helplessly and walked outside.

The camp of the Qi army, although the city of Fengxian is about to be broken, whether it is Guo Xiancheng or Cao Hui, there is no joy on the faces of the two, in Fengxian, they have delayed too much time.

"The 30,000 army has bypassed Feng County and headed for Shayang County, Lord Cao, why do you insist on leaving 10,000 horses behind? These thousands of people can't become any climate! Guo Xiancheng looked at Cao Hui opposite in puzzlement. What we want now is time, quickly take Shayang, and then go to Zhengyang County to meet the Yan army, I am afraid that we will have to face the situation of storming Qingtongxia, and leaving 10,000 people will have a considerable impact on our military strength. ”

Guo Xiancheng was very angry, he was in Feng County, and lost nearly 10,000 people. This is all a field army in the spirit of the Great Qi, and Fengxian, who originally thought it was vulnerable, has become a hard bone. Although the defenders paid almost the same price, for the Qi army, the loss of time made them have to face more losses.

Cao Hui knocked on the table again and again, and looked at Guo Xiancheng: "General Guo, let me say something that you may not like to hear, I am afraid that this time your trip to Faming will ruin your reputation if you are not careful." One Feng County has already cost us one-fifth of our soldiers and horses, and Shayang County is much more difficult to fight than Feng County. ”

Listening to Cao Hui's words, Guo Xiancheng fell silent for a moment, before he came here, he never thought that he would encounter such a tough army.

"I don't know enough about the Ming army." Guo Xiancheng was a little helpless, "Lord Cao, the weapons and equipment of the Ming army are really too strong, I remember the last time I saw in the Di newspaper that the Ming army's Thunderbolt Battalion had already used these weapons in Tzu Chi, why haven't the ghosts got the relevant information until now?" If we could have copied theirs, we wouldn't have lost so much. ”

Cao Hui smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you get it?" We got the complete design drawings of their weapons, but our arsenal couldn't copy them in large quantities. ”

"Why?" Guo Xiancheng asked in surprise.

"The quality of the steel." Cao Hui shook his head: "The steel produced by our Daqi cannot reach the strength and toughness required by these weapons, and it is no problem for the masters to try to make a few in small quantities, but they want to imitate them on a large scale to equip the troops......."

Cao Hui shook his head helplessly, "At least in the short term, we can't do it." ”

Guo Xiancheng stared at Cao Hui: "You left these 10,000 people, do you want to fight Taiping City and Daye City?" I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, just the level of Yanshan, I'm afraid we won't be able to cross it. With the steepness of Yanshan and the location of the fortress where the Ming army was, it only took a thousand people to make it difficult for us to move an inch. ”

Cao Hui smiled: "General Guo, it has been half a month since the Yan army was surrounded under Zhengyang County, a force without food, do you think they can hold out for a few days?" If the Yan people are completely annihilated, then will we continue to fight? ”

"As long as the Qin side wins, of course this battle will have to be fought." Guo Xiancheng said.

"Yes, but what we are going to face is not just a field battalion, but the main force of the Ming army, and I, what I am most worried about now is that the Qin army also loses, so what should we do?" Cao Hui sighed.

"This, it can't be, right?" Guo Xiancheng was a little incredulous.

"Why can't it be?" Cao Hui snorted coldly, "Qin Feng left us alone, and even only put two battalions in Shayang County, making it clear that even if we beat Shayang County to a pulp, we would have to fight to the death with the Qin people, and he dared to do so, at least it shows that he has the belief that he will win in his heart." I know more about Qin Feng than you do. So, I had to think one step further. ”

"If the Qin people fail, then we won't be able to fight." Guo Xiancheng was also a little worried when Cao Hui said it.

"Yes, then we won't be able to fight anymore. Because at this point, will the Chu people still sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? No, they will definitely attack in a big way. Cao Hui stood up, "At that time, we will have to fight on both sides at the same time. It's an outcome we've always wanted to avoid. ”

"Your worries are justified." Guo Xiancheng nodded: "But I still don't believe that Deng Pu will lose?" ”

Cao Hui smiled: "Five years ago, who of us would have thought that Qin Feng would start with six hundred remnants of soldiers and actually create the Great Ming Kingdom and become the founding emperor?" For such a person, no matter how much you think of him, it is not too much! ”

"But how can we take Taiping City, Daye City? How to fight the Yanshan military village, and attack it hard? ”

"Of course not!" Cao Hui said: "You just said that it is impossible to attack hard. Therefore, we have to find a way to get it, the key is the Yanshan Military Village, as long as we break through the Yanshan Military Village, everything will be easy. ”

"That's exactly the problem."

Cao Hui looked at Guo Xiancheng and suddenly laughed: "General Guo, do you say that the last remnant of Feng County's troops will flee in the direction of Taiping City?" ”

Guo Xiancheng stared at Cao Hui, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that you are beating Min Ruoxi's idea." ”

"Of course, if Min Ruoxi is surrounded by us, he is in danger, and he is not far from the Yanshan Military Village, do you say, will the garrison of the Yanshan Military Village come out of the village to rescue? That's their queen mother! Cao Hui smiled.
