Xiao Sa looked at Yunzhou City, which was faintly visible, with a gloomy expression.

Since the coalition army arrived at the city of Yunzhou, they have been attacking the city for five days in a row, but today is the sixth day, and the same as the previous five days, from morning to night, the coalition army still cannot break through the city of Yunzhou, and the city of Yunzhou in front of them has become an impregnable wall.

At first, he thought that Xiao Ming's army was only relying on the advantage of firearms, but in the face of such powerful and slow-loading weapons, he thought that he could use the number of people to eliminate the disadvantage.

It's just that after a few days of fierce battles, he gradually understood that things didn't seem to be as simple as he thought, compared to firearms, the soldiers in Yunzhou City made people more frightening because the soldiers were not afraid of death, and they were indomitable.

When the allied soldiers reached the top of the city, they were faced with cold bayonets that were more terrifying than muskets, and every time the soldiers on the city wall showed their bayonets, the soldiers who climbed the city wall were always defeated.

In the past few days, not only has he become a little anxious, Cui Huai and Zhao Ang are also in uneasiness, in their common sense, the coalition army that has condensed the elite of the three kings will easily take Yunzhou City, but now the time is dragging on for more and more, the morale of the camp is extremely low, and soldiers continue to flee.

Just when he was irritable, at this time he suddenly saw a fire in the west of the camp, and in an instant, his heart was cold.

After a while, Zhao Ang came in a hurry, and he said impatiently: "The grain and grass we transported here from Kaizhou were robbed, and the cavalry of Yunzhou City burned the grain and grass. ”

Cui Huai was also shocked at this time, and he said angrily: "Your Zhao Kingdom's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is really a waste, and the first cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom can't even protect grain and grass. ”

Zhao Ang's face was embarrassed, the grain and grass transported from Kaizhou had always been protected by their Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, but it was sixty miles from Kaizhou to the camp of the coalition army, and how could such a long grain route be protected by their 40,000 cavalry.

In the days of the siege, the cavalry of Yunzhou City always took a small group of cavalry surprise attacks to attack the grain and grass, they carried fire oil, burned the grain and grass and left, never in love with war, which made it impossible to find the enemy to fight, these days his soldiers are also tired, and now he is also annoyed by Cui Huai reprimanded.

"The general's Xuanjia iron cavalry is a waste, your Yan army is even more waste, the siege has been five days, you can seize an inch of the city wall of Yunzhou City, or Zhao Wang Yingming, he has long expected that you will not succeed enough to defeat more than anything, this time it is just for profit, the heart is not sincere, and the will is not strong.

Cui Huai's eyes were red, like the eyes of a crazy beast, the war was unfavorable, the soldiers were seriously damaged, this enthronement ceremony had been completed today, but they could not step into Yunzhou City.

Now, even if he captures Yunzhou City and goes back, he can't explain to King Yan.

While the two were arguing, suddenly a cavalry arrived in front of the camp in the night and shouted: "King Liang urgently, King Liang urgently." ”

Xiao Sa suddenly had a bad premonition when he heard this, and he hurriedly ordered people to put the herald in.

When the horse arrived in front of the camp, the herald ordered a hurried voice: "King Yong's army attacked Liangdi, and now it is approaching Gyeongju, King Liang has an order, and orders His Royal Highness to immediately lead troops to relieve the siege without delay!" ”

"King Yong!" The second prince's face was pale, with a hint of panic in his eyes, and he immediately said to the deputy general: "Now immediately return to Gyeongju!" ”

Cui Huai heard the words and stood in front of the second prince, and he said, "Xiao Sa, are you ready to break the covenant?" ”

Xiao Sa knew the current situation of Liang Guo, if the Yong army attacked with all its might, Liang Guo would not be able to support it, not to mention that with Xiao Ming's support, the Yong army was equipped with a large number of firearms.

He pushed Cui Huai away and said, "If the Liang Kingdom is dead, what is the use of this covenant!" ”

With that, he walked out of the big tent and ordered the Liang army to turn back.

"How can this be justified, how can this be justified!" Cui Huai was shocked and angry, as soon as the Liang army left, it was equivalent to half of the strength of the coalition army, and now that the elite of the Yan army was lost, this battle could not be fought.

Zhao Ang had already had the intention of retreating, and seeing this, he said: "General Cui, the Liang army has left, this coalition army has existed in name only, and I will not accompany him." ”

After the words fell, he also went out of the big tent and gathered the cavalry to prepare to flee back to Chang'an.

Cui Huai watched the second prince and Zhao Ang leave, his heart was cold, this time the coalition failed, Xiao Ming would inevitably attack Yan Kingdom to vent his anger.

Sitting on the ground, Cui Huai was at a loss.

Yunzhou City.

At the same time, Niu Ben got the news from Bingzhou City.

After reading Chen Xinran's letter, Niu Ben said: "Everything is within His Highness's plan, now that the city of Bingzhou has been broken, the second prince who got the news will inevitably return to Gyeongju, so that the alliance of the three kings will fall apart, and take this opportunity to go forward as a large army, annihilate the attacking enemy in one fell swoop, and seize Kaizhou, Bianzhou and other royal cities occupied by King Yan." ”

The generals in the camp were gearing up one by one, and now it was time for them to show their skills, Lu Fei was the most active, and he said: "General, give the order." ”

Niu Ben looked serious at this time, and he said: "After a day of fierce fighting, I will know that you are all tired, but if you don't take advantage of the three kings alliance army tonight, these troops will escape, and now Lu Fei is going to the coalition camp from the front, Luo Hong and Ye Qingyun are surrounding the coalition camp from the left and right sides respectively, fireworks are the number, success or failure is in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes, General." The generals shouted in unison.

The generals left the camp and immediately gathered their soldiers and chariots to go out of the three city gates and move towards the coalition camp at night.

At this time, Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu also returned from outside the city, and when they saw such a big movement, they immediately understood something.

They found Niu Ben as soon as possible.

"General, are you ready to fight back?" Qi Guangyi asked.

Niu Ben glanced at the terrain on the sand table, and he said to Bai Mu: "Bai Mu, you immediately lead 20,000 cavalry to detour back to the back of the coalition camp to block the retreat of the Yan army and the Zhao army, Qi Guangyi, you immediately lead 20,000 cavalry to Bingzhou, and set up an ambush with Chen Xinran on the official road to Gyeongju to annihilate the Liang army." ”

"Yes, General." When the two heard this, they immediately gathered the cavalry.

On a hazy moonlit night, all the troops of Yunzhou City were mobilized, Niu Ben personally went into battle this time, if he successfully encircled and annihilated the three kings coalition army, Yan and Liang would soon be included in the territory.

After thinking about it for a while, Niu Ben personally put on the battle, this night attack was too important to have any mistakes.

Riding out of the West Gate, Niu Ben entered Lu Fei's Chinese army.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Chinese army remained silent, and none of the soldiers made a noise, and this time they wanted a surprise.

Twenty miles was not a long road, and in an hour, the coalition camp appeared in front of everyone.

The chasers in the army passed the news back and forth, and after getting that Bai Mu had gone around and the left and right armies were in place, Niu Ben drew his sword and shouted, "Kill!" ”
