Eight hundred and fiftieth eight chapters strategizing
At dusk, the siege lasted for a whole day. Finally, the wolf soldiers dispersed like a tide, leaving behind magic crystal cannon pits and countless corpses on the earth.
Columns of smoke rose into the sky, but the Longji Corps camp in the distance seemed indescribable. They just let the wolf soldiers attack the city, but there was no movement in themselves.
"What the hell do they want to do?" Luo Xin punched heavily on the storm on the city wall, shaking snow.
"They are using the Northern Desert Wolf soldiers to consume our shells."
Su Changyan looked at the enemy camp in the distance and said, "In one day today, we have consumed nearly half of the reserves of Magic Crystal Cannon shells. Muyu City originally had not had much reserves. I am afraid that Fang Lan will personally command the Longji Corps and launch a siege battle when it dawn tomorrow. Once the magic Crystal Cannon is used up, we will have no resistance. And you have seen it. Today, they have not even sent a dragon knight to help the wolf soldiers."
"The cunning and shameless Fang Lan."
Luo Xin's eyes were deep and said, "How long will reinforcements arrive?"
"I received the Yu Shu not long ago. His Highness Feng Jixing led 50,000 cavalry to come at full speed, but the mounts needed to rest, and there were no war horses available for replacement along the way, so the speed was relatively slow. Moreover, when entering Tianshu Province was blocked by heavy snow, it would take about three days to reach Muyu City."
"Three days..." Luo Xin was a little confused: "Can we last three days?"
"Do your best, we have 200,000 elite Iron Blade Army in our hands, and there is no reason to sit and wait for death."
"Yes, we have no reason to sit and wait for death..." Luo Xin clenched his iron fist, and a sharp light shot out in his eyes, saying, "If you pass the order, just say Feng Jixing. The two high men, Lin Muyu, commanded the 200,000 troops, are already on the way to reinforce Muyu City. They will definitely arrive in two days, so that the soldiers will strive to defend the city. Once the two high men arrive, the bandits of the Tianji Empire will inevitably collapse without fighting."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
...
Tianshu Province, Meizhou, on the banks of Fairy Lake.
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and rows of iron cavalry wearing purple flower emblems on their chests were galloping by the lake, and their agile figures were reflected in the lake. These were already the last elite cavalry of the empire.
Feng Jixing slowly rode his horse, followed by Zhang Wei, Luo Yu and other deputy commanders of the imperial guards.
"What kind of lake is this?" he suddenly asked.
"Your Highness is the northern waterfront of Fairy Lake." Luo Yu said respectfully.
"Fairy Lake."
Feng Jixing frowned and murmured: "Your Majesty died here back then... Alas, Qin Yi, the King of Zhennan, led to the ten-year catastrophe of the people in one thought. Is this throne really that easy to sit on?"
Zhang Wei smiled: "I'm afraid not, the late emperor, His Majesty King Guangming, has drowned in the Fairy Lake. His Highness Yin is also unclear about his life and death for the sake of the empire. How many people sitting on this throne can have a good ending."
Take out a wrinkled map from your arms, Feng Jixing glanced at it and said, "Send the order and speed up the march. I'm afraid that the bandits of the Tianji Empire are already attacking Muyu City at this time."
"Yes." Luo Yu nodded: "I'll send a message to the front army to accelerate its advance."
"Don't mess up the formation."
Feng Jixing has always used his troops steadily and said with a deep thought: "Keep the central army as the core, and the front, back, left and right armies protect each other. Fifteen scout teams must be sent to investigate in each direction of the front, back, left and right. Do not act rashly at any time."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Luo Yu's eyes were full of admiration. In terms of command ability, looking at the Qin Empire, only Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were admired by him. Lin Muyu was good at using military strategies and often attacked him unprepared and won a surprise victory. However, once he was seen through, he would probably be defeated. Feng Jixing's combat style was completely different. Feng Jixing's behavior was more calm. Every time he marched, he would have to divide the left and right troops to help each other and send a large number of scouts to increase the vision of the entire army. It was precisely this style that made Feng Jixing never failed to be attacked. It was difficult for his rivals to rush to the army commanded by Feng Jixing.
On the side, Qu Chu was wearing a white robe and rode a thin horse with a calm expression. His weight was not bloated, and he used the power of flying. The war horse was not heavy and the pressure was naturally not high. He looked at everything around him calmly, but said nothing.
Feng Jixing asked, "Old Qu, you are a veteran of the three dynasties. Do you have nothing to say? Regarding the current situation..."
Qu Chu smiled: "Master Feng, you and Ayu are both famous generals of the empire, but... since the war between Tianji Continent started, you have never won again. The two always-win generals have become often defeated generals. Have you ever thought about why?"
"I……"
Feng Jixing was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Qu has taught me a lesson. Actually, I have thought that strength is part of it, but there is another factor that always makes me feel overwhelmed, but I can't tell what the reason is."
"It's the human heart."
Qu Chu said incisively: "After the Three Kings ruled the world, the world can no longer be reborn. Look... The main corps of our imperial army are doing their own things, and the joint combat capabilities are completely invisible. What is even more fatal is the local army of various prefectures and counties. The bandits of the Tianji Empire fought like autumn wind swept away fallen leaves and rarely encountered resistance. The troops of the local governments surrendered in the wind. What does this mean? It means that the world has no reborn, and no one knows who they are fighting for."
Feng Jixing was a little silent, and Qu Chu's words stabbed into his heart like a sharp knife. Indeed, people in the world did not return home. How to fight this battle? He clasped his fists gently and said respectfully: "Please teach me if Mr. Qu."
Qu Chu gently stroked his beard and said, "There are two ways. One is that Ayu proclaims himself emperor and changes his surname to Qin. People in the world still only recognize one emperor in their hearts, that is, the Qin family, and the Qin family is still the world of the Qin family."
“This is impossible.”
Feng Jixing shook his head: "Don't you understand that boy Ayu's personality? Being king is his bottom line. He always feels that he is keeping his promise to His Majesty Qin Jin, guarding this country for His Highness Yin, and letting him over-the-job and become emperor. This makes him feel even more uncomfortable than killing him. Mr. Qu, you might as well tell me another way."
"The other way is to return His Highness Yin."
"This is like not saying it..." Feng Jixing smiled bitterly: "If Your Highness Yin can return, I, Feng Jixing, would like to exchange my life for her to rule the world, but no one knows where Your Highness Yin is. Maybe she will be gone long ago..."
"yes."
Qu Chu took a deep breath: "But what the people want is too important. If Chief Feng thinks these two methods are not feasible, he can think of another principle of governing the country and the world."
"Mr. Qu, please say."
"Immediately, Yu Shu gave him a letter to Ayu, and asked him to start working on it. I issued an edict to the princes in the world, and ordered them to recruit their own troops and resist the invading bandits on their own. The territory they seized was divided into their fiefs. All the troops of the Great Qin Empire changed their names and unified the "Qin Army" to let them know that they were the army of the Qin family, and that all the names of those who died in battle were included in the Zhenguo Monument."
"All the princes are allowed to recruit troops."
Feng Jixing was stunned, and countless thoughts flew through his mind, saying, "The solution is feasible, but... if the princes are allowed to recruit soldiers, it will be difficult to deal with even if they destroy the Tianji Empire. The princes in various places have great ambitions. If they have gained strength, it will be difficult for us to suppress them."
Qu Chu smiled slightly: "This is better than the Qin family's world being destroyed."
Feng Jixing also smiled: "Okay, I understand. Let's write a feather book and send it to Ayu. Let's leave this matter to him, the King of Qin, to do it. I believe Ayu will agree with this proposal."
"Um."
Qu Chu looked at the north deeply and said, "The three major provinces in the empire, Tongtian and Lingkong were invaded by bandits, and nearly thirty states were lost in a blink of an eye. If we cannot make good use of the local troops of various prefectures and counties, it will be difficult to compete with the powerful bandits."
"Yeah, I get it."
After writing the feather book, a letter bird flew straight to the east, which was the direction of Dongshuang City. It seemed that the future of the entire Qin Empire was also dependent on the wings of this small letter bird.
Not long after, a messenger galloped over with a panic look, holding a feather book in his hand, and shouted: "His Royal Highness Xin, Duke Luo Xin of Muyu City, written by him."
"Give it."
Feng Jixing reached out to grab the letter, shook it open and read it carefully, and his face changed drastically.
"What's wrong, Your Highness." Zhang Wei and Luo Yu asked at the same time.
"Muyu City is surrounded by all sides and is out of reach. There are 150,000 Longji Corps and 150,000 Wolf soldiers in the siege of the city. There are no less than 100 Dragon Knights to help. Most of the Dragon Knights in the Battle of Luohekou have already reinforced the Longji Corps."
Zhang Wei held the hilt of the knife, with a blazing flame in his eyes and said, "Then we will accelerate our marching and maybe we will reach Muyu City in one and a half days. It's not too late. Luo Xin has 200,000 Iron Blade Army in his hand, so he won't be killed in just a few seconds. As long as we are fast enough, we should be able to catch up. At that time, we should cooperate inside and outside and kill the Longji Army without leaving a piece of armor."
"It's too late."
Feng Jixing shook his head: "We can't fight in at all, and we may be ambushed by bandits on the periphery. Moreover, we don't have magic crystal crossbows at all. So many dragon knights on the other side are enough to destroy us under the city."
"What should I do?" Zhang Wei was shocked.
Feng Jixing gritted his teeth, took out the wrinkled map again and looked at it for a while, and cut the railway line: "Order everyone to throw down their armor and baggage and move forward at full speed. We bypass Muyu City, and we must arrive at Zhenlang Pass within two days and capture it."
"Attack Zhenlang Pass."
Zhang Wei looked shocked: "Then let's not let Mu Yucheng anymore, regardless of Luo Xin's life or death."
Luo Yu smiled from the side: "Your Highness is indeed a clever plan. Attacking Zhenlang Pass may save Muyu City."
