As he was talking, he suddenly heard the rumbling sound of cannon outside the tent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Several people were in a strange situation, and a herald had already come to report. It turned out that the Chifeng army retreating from Qinzhou City arrived, and when they found that Luzhou City was besieged by Zhang Hongfan with regiments of soldiers at this moment, they ordered their soldiers to fight together, trying to break the defense, so as not to fall into a state of isolation and helplessness and attack from both sides. And this cannon sound is what they made.

Zhang Hongfan suddenly smiled: "Oh? I didn't expect Cao Cao to arrive, I thought that guy would have to wait at least a few days to arrive, but I never thought that he would appear here so soon." In that case, how can I let the tiger return to the mountain and let them continue to be arrogant again?"

"Let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

As soon as his eyes moved, Zhang Hongsheng was surprised, and couldn't help but look at his younger brother.

Growing to the present level in a short period of time, the father in front of him is really a masterpiece, if there is this person again, presumably their Zhang family will be able to continue to prosper.

"That's right. The red thief came this time, and all he asked for was to gather together so as to increase the defense of Luzhou City, so as not to be broken by our army. What's more, at this time, the red thief is at the peak of his army, and this place is his hometown for many years, if he forcibly stops it, he is afraid that he will suffer heavy losses. In that case, why don't I wait for them to be put in Luzhou?"

Zhang Hongfan explained, and he was even more proud in his heart: "When the time comes, only 40,000 troops under General Shi will come, and a total of 80,000 troops will definitely surround Naluzhou City." When the time comes, we only need to wear down their will to resist, and we will naturally be able to completely wipe out this group of red thieves!"

"That's a good idea. Zhang Hongsheng immediately praised, but immediately thought about it but felt confused: "Although this is the case, how should I do it?"

"Don't be anxious, after all those red thieves gather together, you can sneak into the city, you only need to wait for the other party to suddenly attack when the other party is tired, and I will cooperate with the siege outside, and I will definitely be able to completely annihilate the red thief." Speaking of this, Zhang Hongfan is already full of confidence, and seems to have seen the moment when he is about to win. ”

............

"Huh?"

The dust was rolling, Yu Wenwei looked at the Mongolian general who disappeared quickly like a tide in the distance, and couldn't help but feel confused, and said in his heart: "This group of Tartars, isn't it doing something to cover their eyes?

In the past, those Tartars were very brave when they fought, and there were many of them who fought to the death and did not retreat, which really made the Red Phoenix Army feel very tricky, but now the other party retreated so quickly, such a sign of trickery, it is no wonder that Yu Wenwei has such thoughts.

Cheng Feng saw that Yu Wenwei's pace was a little slow, so he hurriedly chased after him, and shouted a few soldiers to protect him, and shouted in a low voice: "Sir, we should retreat." ”

"Retreat, have you opened the passage to Luzhou?" Yu Wenwei muttered, but he was a little distracted.

Cheng Feng replied: "Yes!" stared at Yu Wenwei, but felt a little surprised.

In the past, this person has always been calm and relaxed, as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom, but now this slightly dazed look is really surprising.

Yu Wenwei didn't want to stay any longer, so he said, "Since that's the case, let's go in." With a flick of the horsewhip in his hand, he let the war horse under him carry him towards the distance, and he didn't pay attention to the other scenes around him along the way.

"Mr. Yuwen, what happened?"

Following behind, although Cheng Feng felt strange, he also understood that this was not the time to ask, and this place was located on the battlefield, if there was a case, it would be troublesome, so he also followed behind the large army and entered Luzhou together.

After the whole army entered Luzhou, Zhao Zhi had already led everyone in the city to pay respects, only to see that although everyone was covered in dust and sand, there was no blood on the body, and he also understood that although the battle was strong, he had never encountered a strong battle.

This time, he was reassured.

Despite this, Zhao Zhi was very worried, and after finding Yu Wenwei, he asked: "After I left, I wonder if the army has returned to its original safe and sound?"

When Yu Wenwei heard this, his expression became heavy, and he said with sadness: "After you left, the army was not safe, but was attacked by the Tartars at night, so that General Chang Ren died, I remembered that you are fighting outside, and I dare not make you sad so that you have the wrong time, so I tell others not to tell you." If you want to blame, blame me. ”

Only under his own rule, this kind of tragedy happened, and he also felt aggrieved, and just wanted to find out the hidden person and avenge the dead general.

It's a pity that the man is very hidden, but they have never found him.

"Is Chang Ren dead?" Hearing the news, Zhao Zhi's body shook and almost fell to the ground, although he was trying to stand up, his eyes were full of compassion: "Zeguo Jiangshan entered the war map, and the people had no plans to be happy." Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. He was sacrificed for the Red Phoenix Army, and we must not forget him. Got it?"

I still remember the scene when Zhao Chen asked him to leave, Zhao Zhi only felt that his heart was blocked, and he felt even more ashamed that he was unable to resist the enemy and could only be forced to retreat.

If the Red Phoenix Army is three points stronger, why should they be afraid of these people?

"Of course I know. Yu Wenwei nodded, looking at the continuous military formation in the distance, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that there are so many enemies, I'm afraid that we will be bad in the future." Now the whole territory of Luzhou has completely fallen into the hands of the other party, we are now equivalent to sitting in the besieged city, fortunately the spring ploughing time has long passed, and the autumn ploughing is also completely abandoned because there is no one in the field. If we can hold out until the other party's food is exhausted, maybe it will be the time for us to wait for a turnaround. ”

It's a pity that he doesn't know the other party's grain reserves, so how can he destroy the other party's grain, and then destroy the other party's granary?

"Well, I hope so. ”

Zhao Zhi's face was bitter, and he was obviously annoyed by the current situation.

After Xiao Feng left, the entire army began to collapse, and now it has plummeted, so that everyone began to wonder if this Yu Wenwei had also done something wrong?

But they all understand that the path that everyone is taking at present is really the path of nine deaths and one life, but this is already good, because other roads are ten deaths and no lives.

"Although this place is safe, it is still at the gate of the city, and if the Tartar leads the army to attack, it may still be affected by morality. And you must be tired from running around day and night, so why don't you rest for a while and recover some energy?"

Zhao Zhi saw that the air was embarrassed, and seeing that everyone's faces showed a look of tiredness, so he asked his subordinates to lead the soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army to find a place to live, and asked the kitchen cooks to start cooking as a reward for all the soldiers, so that they could rest first to recover the energy consumed on the road.

After all, the Red Phoenix Army has been running all the way here, and it is already hungry in its belly, so it is natural to have a good rest.

Back in the council hall, Zhao Zhi saw that everyone had gathered together, and waited for him to arrive.

Touching the blood condensation red crystal in his arms, Zhao Zhi was about to walk into the door, but he stopped with some hesitation, thinking about whether he should pass the news to everyone, but when he thought about the sixteen big characters released in this blood condensation red crystal, he didn't feel worried, so he put it in his pocket, and he didn't plan to let everyone know about it.

Stepping into the mansion, Zhao Zhi saw that everyone looked stern, and unconsciously lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "The last general is incompetent, and it is really incompetent to let General Zhao die tragically in Hengshui Town." Mr. Yuwen is also requested to punish him. ”

A few lines of tears slid down his cheeks and dripped to the ground, he still couldn't hide his thoughts about Zhao Chen after all.

"Alas. ”

Yu Wenwei shook his head and persuaded: "I have already heard from the soldiers in the army, and the sacrifice of General Zhao has nothing to do with you. And being able to hold out until this time with a force far inferior to the opponent's strength, you also have a great credit to the Red Phoenix Army, at least let the opponent's encirclement not work, and it is also of great use for us to be able to come back safely. Don't be sacrificial. Got it?"

"I see. ”

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhao Zhi cheered up again, and when he walked around, he heard the comforting voices of others again, and finally regained a little color: "It's just that what should we do with it today?" After all, when we were outside the city, there were still 10,000 troops under Li Yuanfu and 30,000 troops under Zhang Rou. If you add the 40,000 people under Shi Tianze's department, who will also chase after him soon, a total of 80,000 people, it is really far beyond their imagination. ”

"Eighty thousand people? I didn't expect those guys to really have some ability to maintain such a large force?" suddenly felt tricky, Yu Wenwei didn't dare to boast about Haikou at this time, boasting that he could solve the matter in front of him!

Cheng Feng's eyebrows were also furrowed: "Fortunately, there is still a lot of food in the city, enough for us to support for half a year, but if we still don't find food for half a year, then we will really fall into a crisis." ”

The most important thing in the army is grain and grass.

If it weren't for Xiao Feng's insistence on going his own way, fighting against the monk Badu abroad, and capturing Taiyuan City in one fell swoop, laying enough foundation for Luzhou to reclaim wasteland and grow grain, I am afraid that they would have been completely wiped out because of lack of food by now.

Of course, according to the current scene, the fields have long been completely trampled, and the peasants who have survived since ancient times have been forced to flee in all directions.

In this Luzhou, there will be no harvest in the coming year.

The people in the army knew this, so they also understood that even if they completely drove the Mongol Tatars out of Luzhou, they would no longer be able to survive in Luzhou.

There is no other reason, just because the agriculture in Luzhou has been completely destroyed.

Without three to five years of continuous input, it will be absolutely impossible to restore agricultural production.

"What about the lord, if the lord is here, how should we wait?" looked a little flustered, and Qiu Lie said again.

"Lord, I'm afraid that she doesn't know anything about this now, and she is still retiring somewhere. ”

At this point, everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, looking at the seat above everyone, but they never saw the familiar figure in their eyes, which made them all angry, and even had a feeling of betrayal.

Could it be that she took this opportunity to escape?

In my mind, such thoughts became more and more prevalent, and I began to hold everyone to think hard.

"Everyone. ”

Sensing the change in everyone's expressions, Zhao Zhi touched the blood coagulation red crystal hidden in his chest, although he tried to explain, but when he thought that the truth he guessed might be even more cruel, he unconsciously accepted some tones and persuaded: "Although we are in a predicament now, we also need to know that the other party still has three earth immortal figures, if there is no lord to contain Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and Li Yuanfu, I am afraid that these three will rely on their own force to break into the territory of Luzhou and kill them for a long time." And our responsibility is to ensure that this Luzhou is safe from being invaded by the enemy. If we can't even do this kind of thing, can we still be considered the Red Phoenix Army?"

"That's just as well. If it weren't for the help of the lord, I am afraid that I would have died completely when I was in Fenzhou, and it would be impossible to catch up with you here, or even teach martial arts. Yu Cheng laughed, and the laughter immediately washed away the embarrassment.

On the other side, Yang Chan also said: "That's right. If it weren't for the lord's efforts, I was afraid that after the Qingxu Temple was destroyed, I would only have to wander the world, where would I have the opportunity to catch up and chat with you here?"

To be honest, if it weren't for Xiao Feng's action to form the Red Phoenix Army, it would be impossible for them to continue to live here, let alone be able to lead a group of soldiers, fight the Tartar head-on, and even beat it to the ground for a while.

To be able to create such a brilliant battle, even if they are completely wiped out in this Luzhou, it can be regarded as an honor.

"So everyone, don't forget our purpose. Purify the fire and burn the world, expelling the Tatars. Although this slogan was put forward by the Lord, it is also the common wish of us. It would be a mistake to think that this can be achieved by the efforts of the Lord alone. Thinking about what Zhao Chen said when he asked him to leave, Zhao Zhi understood what he meant at the beginning.

And the reason why the lord chose to let go and let them fight against the Mongol army on their own strength was because he had the same thoughts?

After all, at the beginning, although the Red Phoenix Army had made many achievements, it was only possible to succeed by curling up under Xiao Feng, if Xiao Feng couldn't give protection for some reason, what would happen to them?

Zhao Zhi didn't know, but he really understood that if he wanted to completely defeat the Mongol army, it would have to be everyone's work together to succeed, so he said to everyone.

"Everyone. You must know that we are not fighting for our lord, but for us. It is better to die than to be free. How can it succeed if that is not the case?"
