Yu Hai finally returned empty-handed, and all he got was Han Mo's ambiguous promise of attack.

After another three days like this, the Qing army was forced to attack the Wei army's defense line again, and Han Mo considered that the two sides were still military alliances after all, so he also ordered Tiekui to lead 20,000 troops to press forward for more than ten miles, and the Wei army behind the first line of defense could almost see each other's clothing and equipment.

But the strange thing is that although both sides are horns and war drums, no one is the first to attack, although the archers on both sides open their bows and arrows, but the first arrow is not shot from both camps.

Compared to the terrible roars of battle coming from the north side of Kyoto Castle, the south side remained as calm as death.

The scorching sun was in the sky, the horses were snorting, and the soldiers on both sides were looking at each other solemnly.

The Yan army stopped outside the range of the Wei army's arrows, and then there was a half-hour standoff, until an arrow shot into the air from the rear, Tie Kui waved his hand, and the Yan shield soldiers holding tiger-faced shields lined up in a line, forming a barrier formed by the convergence of steel, behind this barrier, were the archers of the Yan Kingdom, among which were the soldiers of the Shenbow Battalion under the command of Ling Yun.

The world-famous iron horse cavalry of the Wei State has been destroyed by Han Mo, and the Shengong battalion that Xiao Huaiyu has painstakingly trained is still intact, they are not only superb in horsemanship, but also amazing in archery.

Wei Ren watched the long steel barrier advance little by little, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

In their bones, the Wei people looked down on the Qing people, but they maintained a certain respect for the Yan Kingdom in the far east.

The battle of Nanyang Pass certainly gave the Wei people a deeper understanding of the Yan people and a resentment against the enemy, but at the same time there was also a fear of the strong.

Compared with the Qing people, the pressure brought by the Yan people to the Wei people is obviously much greater, and the deterrent effect is much stronger.

The Yan people did not make the roar of the mountain and the tsunami, in the advance, it seemed very quiet, under the sun, those stiff and clear lines of armor are still cold, carved lifelike tiger shields, the tiger's head opens its bloody mouth to show its sharp fangs, and the silent army advances, the friction of the armor can be heard clearly, and this sound makes people feel a chill.

Finally, from behind the first fence of the Wei army, a sharp arrow shot at the Yan army that entered the range, and this sharp arrow brought a frenzy of arrows.

The Yan ** regiment did not continue to advance, the steel barrier composed of tiger-faced shields stopped, and after the barrier, the arrows of the Yan army swooped into the air like locusts, and in the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu", those sharp arrows poured down from the air like raindrops, and smashed into the Wei army array.

The arrows of both sides crisscrossed in the air, as if they were woven into a sky with arrows, and the black oppression was oppressive, and even blocked the sunlight in the sky for a time.

It was under this sunlight that the two sides engaged in the first head-to-head confrontation under Kyoto Castle with arrows.

……

The rain of arrows lasted for a long time, and many soldiers in the formations of both sides fell to the ground and lost their lives, but the Yan army did not continue to advance, and after giving the Wei army enough deterrence and pressure, a golden sound sounded from the rear of the army formation, and the arrow rain of the Yan army suddenly stopped.

Just like two very gentlemanly swordsmen, when the Yan army stopped shooting, they also reacted accordingly, and when the Yan army did not continue to move forward, the Wei people also stopped the attack of the rain of arrows.

The archers behind the shields put away their bows and arrows, supported the bodies of their fallen comrades, and slowly retreated under the cover of tiger-faced shields.

The soldiers of the Wei army behind the wooden fence watched the Yan army slowly retreat with great confusion until they disappeared from their eyes, and looked at each other, feeling that today's battle was really strange.

When the Yan people appeared from their eyes, they thought that they would face a cruel and fierce battle today, but they never expected that the Yan army would end the first confrontation between the two armies under the city of Kyoto with such a thunderous and small attack.

General Huang, who was in charge of guarding the southern part of Kyoto City, squinted his eyes, he held the saber at his waist, and after a while, he finally muttered to himself: "Xue Shuai is really the first to anticipate the enemy, this Yan country...... I really don't dare to fight! ”

On this day, although the Yan army in the south only carried out a tentative attack, or only a scene attack, and did not make a substantial breakthrough, but the Qing army in the north, under the command of Lin Chengfei, was killed from noon to night, and finally broke through the first line of defense of the Wei army at an extremely heavy price after a bloody battle.

In the eyes of the Wei people, being broken through a line of defense also means that the danger of Kyoto City has increased by one point, so on this day's combat effectiveness, the first line of defense of the Wei people did not retreat in the slightest because of the all-out attack of the Qing army.

The 15,000 Wei soldiers who stuck to the first line of defense faced the tide of Qing ** team, showing tenacious will and tenacious fighting spirit, the two sides fought for most of the long line of defense, the corpses piled up like a mountain, the blood stained the earth red, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the Wei army died nearly 3,000 people, only to retreat to the second line of defense.

The casualties of the Qing army in this battle were nearly 5,000.

There is no doubt that this is the deadliest battle since the two sides began.

Although the first line of defense of the Wei army was finally taken at a heavy price, the Qing army was obviously unable to continue the offensive and could only rest for a while. The distance between the two sides has been shortened to a distance of 10 miles between the first line of defense and the second line of defense, and at such a moment, the spirits of both sides have become even more tense.

The distance of ten miles is almost close at hand, and for both sides, the other side may launch a surprise attack at any time, and in such a short distance, as long as one side is slightly negligent, it may suffer extremely heavy losses.

For the Qing people, they were angry that the Yan people did not move, and they didn't want to see the Yan people take advantage of the fishermen.

However, the current situation has forced them to launch round after round of attacks.

Needless to say, the pressure from Shangjing City, what worries Lin Chengfei even more is his morale and logistics.

After several battles, the Qing people lost their troops and suffered heavy losses, which directly affected the morale of the Qing army, and the morale of the two victories at Nanyang Pass and Tingshui Pass gradually disappeared because of the repeated hard battles after entering the Wei mainland.

For the Qing people, they can't delay as much as they can with attrition tactics like the Yan people.

The main general, Lin Chengfei, knew very well that as time went by, if Kyoto City could not be broken for a long time, the logistics of the Qing army would become more and more troublesome.

There are still several months before the autumn harvest, and the reserve grain and grass of the Qing army are absolutely not capable of supporting the autumn harvest.

He sometimes hated the bureaucrats of Qingguo in his heart, if it weren't for their extreme desire for extravagance, if they had realized that sooner or later there would be such a battle and were ready to deal with it, Qingjun would never have fallen into such a bad situation now.

Qingguo sits on 11 of the 26 counties in the world, with a vast territory, a large population, rich products, and Nanyang County, which is regarded as the granary of the world, but when it comes to the real war, this huge country that plays the role of 11 counties has a great crisis in logistics, which has to be said to be a spicy irony.

The high-level leaders of Qingguo, including Lin Chengfei, know very well that if they fail to capture Kyoto City before the grain and grass are cut off, then there will be problems with the various armies of Qingguo, and at that time it will not only be a matter of reluctance to retreat, but the armies from all walks of life will even have commotions or even mutinies because of the lack of food.

The Northeast Army still has to beware of the Northern Barbarians who are digesting the three counties in the Northeast, and the Northwest Army is in a stalemate with the Qing Army led by the Qingguo general Fuji Zichong in Shanbei County, as well as the Zhennan Army that is on guard against the Yan people, plus Lin Chengfei's 100,000 troops, the total strength of Qingguo is the largest, but their consumption is also the largest.

In the Qingguo Fourth Route Army, if there is a commotion and mutiny along the way because of the lack of food, it will inevitably cause immeasurable serious consequences.

Even if Qingguo really had no choice but to withdraw his troops at that time, the people of Qingguo would never want to see the people of Yan take Kyoto City.

So now in front of Lin Chengfei, there is only one road in Huashan.

Conquer Kyoto Castle in the fastest possible time at all costs.

As a soldier, Lin Chengfei sometimes thinks about problems but is also direct and simple, he has never understood why at such a moment, those official eunuchs in Qingguo, each of them have hoarded a large amount of wealth and food from exploitation in their estates, but why they can't use it to support Qingguo's westward expedition.

Those people are like vampires exploiting the huge country, absorbing the blood and nutrients of the country, living a life of luxury and luxury, sitting at the top of the country, making the huge country weak little by little, but they are still ashamed to claim to be the elite pillars of the country, but when the country is in danger, this group of people lie on the side like dead dogs, just protecting their own bones, without the slightest consideration for the interests of the country.

Lin Chengfei sometimes thinks in private that if he is a chivalrous man, the happiest thing may be to kill those so-called elite pillars.

The husband is a big man, take the head of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it is painful and happy!

But as a soldier, he can only fight bloodily, to protect the huge country behind him, to protect the dignity of a country, to protect the people of that land, and at the same time to protect the extravagant life of the moths.

Looking at the mountains of corpses, thinking that these corpses were still alive before, and looking at a few faces of corpses that were even very immature, Lin Chengfei only felt that his body was very cold.

Soon after they captured the first line of defense of the Wei army, Han Mo's side had already received the news.

And Han Mo also got the news that Kong Fei sent from Tian Yuancheng.

Kong Fei's main force was stationed in Tian Yuan City, but he sent a small group of scouts to cruise in the west of the Wei army every day to prevent leaky fish, and just yesterday, a team of scouts sent by Kong Fei discovered the convoy sent from Tianshui County, and made a big bend, preparing to transport grain into Kyoto City from a river hundreds of miles north of Tian Yuan City.

Kong Fei immediately commanded 5,000 soldiers and horses, rushed straight over, destroyed the convoy, and seized nearly 100,000 stone of grain from it.

When this news came, the main generals of the Yan army were all extremely excited, and they all showed joy, but among the generals, Han Mo saw that Xia Houde seemed to be a little absent-minded.

In the military meetings held in the past few days, Xiahou De was silent, and when everyone else seemed excited, this Xiahou general always seemed to have something on his mind.

Even the occasional smile seems reluctant.
