Three hundred and ninetieth eight chapters siege but not attack

Blood stained the south square of Xingjue City red, and 2,384 corpses were transported out of the city to be buried one after another, and the nearly 3,000 war horses brought by this Yihe army also became Lin Muyu's spoils.

In the afternoon, the war horses were trapped in front of each carriage, and the carriage was transported with a large amount of supplies, gold, gems, grain, iron tools, etc. from Xingjue City were moved away. Although Xingjue City was rich, it could no longer live. Once the demons won the battle in Lingnan Province, they would soon make a comeback. At that time, Xingjue City would still become a dead city.

Tens of thousands of civilians left the city in a mighty manner. The prefect originally wanted to guard the city to the death, but was still persuaded by Lin Muyu to retreat. He also wrote a letter to him to take it to Wang Ju, the lord of Cuckoo City. After Lin Muyu returned to Lanyan City, he would recommend it to Qin Yin and still give him a prefect.

...

Watching carriages leave Xingjue City, Lin Muyu, Wei Qiu, Qin Yan and other generals are still watching on the city wall.

"The commander, the materials have all gone, are we not leaving yet?" Wei Qiu said.

"No hurry."

Lin Muyu shook her head.

"How can we not be in a hurry..." Feng Xi was very impatient and said, "Master, we have destroyed a whole cavalry of 3,000 people. We will definitely get news in the direction of the steel guard wall. If we don't leave now, Ding Xi's army will leave the steel guard wall, we may not be able to leave even if we want to."

Qin Yan said: "Brother, are you waiting for something?"

"yes……"

Lin Muyu frowned and asked, "Wei Qiu, how long is the food in the city to eat in the Longtan Camp?"

"The inventory is abundant, at least enough for more than 4,000 of us to eat for three years, but... there is not much pile of forage. Our army is all cavalry and relies very much on forage. It can last for about one month in Xingjue City."

"Enough."

Lin Muyu said: "Maintain war horses and arrow boxes well, practice every day, and temporarily regard Xingjue City as the base of our Gentian Camp."

"yes."

...

Lingnan, sunset city.

"Not good...nothing..."

A commander rushed into the hall in a panic look.

Sunset Hou Manning was holding a beautiful maid and enjoying the singing and dancing. He couldn't help but frown and said, "What's the matter so trembling? Be calm and tell me."

The commander's face turned pale and he clasped his fists and said, "June, the scout in front of him has heard news that General Xiong Chao led three thousand cavalry out of the city to attack Lin Muyu's Longtian camp, and the entire army was destroyed."

"What, say it again," Xiyanghou pushed away the maid in his arms, stood up, and the fat on his face trembled.

The messenger trembled and said, "General Xiong Chao's three thousand iron cavalry have been destroyed... The news is conclusive. Lin Muyu led the Longtian Camp with about 5,000 troops and is still entrenched in Xingjue City and has not left."

"Lin Muyu, this imperial hawk."

Sunset Hou suddenly slapped the armrests of the seat, his face full of resentment, and said, "This idiot Xiong Chao suffered such a crushing defeat. If this matter reaches the ears of the general public, what kind of face will our Xunbai Province have? People come and ordered Ding Xi to lead the army out of the city and surround me Xingjue City. If Lin Muyu dares to destroy my troops, I will fight back."

On the side, Lu Zhao stood up and fisted and said, "Junhou, there is not only Marshal Ding Xi, the Marquis of Xiyang. Why didn't Junhou send the last general to suppress the Imperial Army?"

Man Ning narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Master Lu Zhao is the pillar of the country, and the Longtian camp only has only 5,000 troops, so it is not worth fearing, so let's leave this matter to Ding Xi, and I will wait for Lin Muyu's head."

"Yes, Jun Hou Yingming."

...

Three days later, Ding Xi led an army of 50,000 out of the steel wall and surrounded Xingjue City.

"Brother, it's all you. You said you can't leave. You stayed for so long. Now you can't leave even if you want to." Qin Yan held a spear and looked at Lin Muyu complainingly.

Lin Muyu looked far away and smiled and said, "It's okay."

"You are still laughing..." Qin Yan said angrily: "This time we may not be able to leave. These 50,000 troops were ruled by Ding Xi, one of the seven generals of the country of Yihe, Lingnan. Ding Xi is well versed in military tactics, so he will definitely not let us go this time."

"Don't worry."

Lin Muyu looked stern and said, "If Ding Xi brought his troops to Weixingjue City, then we will definitely be able to get out."

"Commander, how do you say this?" Wei Qiu asked in confusion.

Lin Muyu reached out and pointed to the Yihe Army several miles away from the city and said, "Look, Ding Xi divided the 50,000 troops into four groups. One person in each direction means that there are only more than 12,000 people in each direction, most of which are infantry. And our Gentian Camp's 5,000 heavy cavalry, do you think, can 10,000 infantry stop the breakthrough of the 5,000 heavy cavalry? If I were Ding Xi, I would bring at least 100,000 people."

"You mean... Ding Xi has no intention of killing."

"Well, wait for the news."

"yes."

At this moment, a letter bird suddenly fell from the sky. Wei Qiu took the letter paper, raised his mouth and said, "Commander, the Cangnan Province sent a war report. Xiang Yu successfully attacked last night and used a catapult to shoot the oil barrel filled with beech oil into the Qinling Pass. The fire attack was victorious and the demons captured all the Qinling Passes in the Cangnan Province."

Qin Yan said in surprise: "If this happens, then... Xiang Yu's cavalry can reinforce our Xingjue City in just two days and one night. Send a letter to Xiang Yu and ask him to reinforce him."

Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "Ayan, do you think Xiang Yu would be so kind to send troops to rescue us? No need to send a letter of Yu to the imperial capital and tell us about the situation here."

"Um."

...

What everyone expected was that Ding Xi surrounded him without attacking and did not launch an attack for five days, as if he wanted to use up all the energy and food of the Longdan Camp. What everyone expected was that Xiang Yu did not have the intention of sending troops to rescue him, and just sat in the distance to watch the Longdan Camp surrounded by Yiheguo in Xingjue City.

Lanyan City.

Qin Yin wore a majestic robe, her legs were put together and slanted in the seat, and she spread her feather book in her hand and read it word by word. Her expression was focused, but she was also extremely charming. The young men among the ministers were swallowing saliva, but they did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts. Even Tang Lu, Tang Tian and others looked at Qin Yin's beauty and thought a lot, but they realized that they had no chance at all.

Qu Chu stood beside the empress and said lightly: "Ayu was besieged in Xingjue City. What do you think should be done?"

Qin Yin also raised her beautiful face and looked at the ministers and said, "The Longtian Camp was surrounded by Xingjue City. Which general is willing to go to the Earth Star Province and lead troops to rescue the Longtian Camp."

Tang Lan clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Lin Muyu was besieged when he underestimated the enemy. The old minister felt that this was the trick of the rebels of Yihe Country. They would definitely arrange heavy troops to intercept our reinforcements in the north of Xingjue City. According to the old minister's opinion, it would be better to send a letter of Yu to let Commander Yu break through forcibly. How much can he come out? Commander Yu has unique skills and believes that he will come out alive."

Qin Yin frowned slightly: "Are there any other suggestions?"

"Yes." Su Muyun clasped his fists and said, "Pingnan Hou Xiang Yu has led a 100,000 army to capture the Qinling Pass in Cangnan Province. From Qinling to Xingjue City, the cavalry journey is up to two days. Pingnan Hou has at least 30,000 cavalry. With a raid of 30,000 cavalry, I believe that the siege of Xingjue City will be able to be able to escape the siege of Xingjue City."

Tang Lan couldn't help laughing: "Yun Gong was joking, let alone the fact that the Lingbei army was not familiar with Lingnan, Ding Xi alone would not be so easy to deal with. Ding Xi was not a person with a reputation, so he must have some defenses. Moreover, General Xiang Yu's place lacks food and grass, and it is late autumn, and soldiers need to change their cotton coats to keep warm, which all takes time."

"Yeah."

Su Muyun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But Mr. Lan, don't forget that the two provinces near the Qinling Mountains, Cangnan Province, and Dixing Province are all from Mr. Lan. If you don't send someone to rescue Commander Yu, do you want to watch the blood-stained son of the late emperor on the battlefield and watch His Highness lose his only brother?"

Tang Lan pondered and said, "It's better to do this. Lao I immediately sent Yushu to the garrison general Tang Xi of Lengxing City, and ordered him to raise all the imperial troops in the Dixing Province, go out of Mosong Pass, and rescue Commander Yu."

"Tang Xi."

Su Yu frowned and said, "Tang Xijiu Shun's battle formation is probably not necessarily Ding Xi's opponent."

"Who else can fight?" Tang Lan asked back.

Su Yu remained silent. There were only a few famous generals in the empire, and there were only a few people who could compete with Ding Xi. Lin Muyu was already surrounded, Xiang Yu remained silent, Feng Jixing defended the imperial capital, and Yao Yuan was responsible for defending the Daojiang River. There was really no one left.

...

Just as everyone was silent, Qin Yin slowly stood up, pressed the hilt of the sword, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, Xiao Yin can only go to Xingjue City in person. Feng Jixing obeyed the order and immediately mobilized all the cavalry in the imperial guards to go to Xingjue City with me."

Feng Jixing clasped his fists: "Yes, Your Highness."

Su Muyun was stunned: "This... Your Highness must not be done. How can you take risks if you are a body of gold? Not to mention that there are countless thieves in the Yihe Kingdom in Lingnan and the demons, Your Highness must not leave the imperial capital."

Qin Yin smiled slightly: "Grandpa, please rest assured, Xiao Yin is a good person. I know what to do and what not to do."

On the side, Qu Chu said lightly: "Please relax, Mr. Yun, your highness has improved a lot and has entered the third level of the Heavenly Realm. Besides, the old minister will follow His Highness to Lingnan. With Feng Jixing's help, even Luo Lan will be able to ensure that His Highness is fully equipped."

Su Muyun sighed helplessly: "Okay... Su Yu, you can draw 30,000 iron cavalry from the Iron Blade Army and go out with Your Highness to fight and wait for the dispatch."

"Yes, father." Su Yu looked happy.

...

At the same time, news came from Bailing City that after fighting with the demon Lei Chong Legion for half a month, Long Qianlin's Dragon Cavalry Army was defeated and nearly half of its troops were lost. Qin Huan led the 70,000 troops were also killed by the Armored Demon Legion during the rush. The Yihe Kingdom army retreated to the south of the steel wall and went into seclusion without fighting.
