Chapter 867: Sunrise in the East (92)

In Xinhui, the shouts of killing were shaking the sky and the earth. This was already the third day of the attack on Xinhui City by the army under the command of Huang Zhan. Huang Zhan's troops and Chen Haoran's newly formed First Army had a total of more than 10,000 people. , after Zheng Xiaoyang launched a diversionary attack on Tian Fucheng's training, he launched an operation to capture Xinhui. If Xinhui was captured, all the Qi troops would be blocked in Langya territory, with no way to the sky and no way to the earth.

Cui Chengxiu stood up and jumped onto the city wall, holding a bloody steel knife in one hand, and in the other hand, holding a short blade that Gao Yuan personally issued to outstanding graduates of Jishi City Military University, slashing and stabbing from the battlements. Jumping down, like a tiger or a pack of wolves, he carved out an open space among the crowded enemy troops in the city.

On the other side of him, Xie Zongjie was not to be outdone. He climbed onto the city wall almost at the same time as Cui Chengxiu. The two looked at each other and then moved closer to each other. The two% pig% pig% island% novel ww.people only They are about fifty meters apart. If they are allowed to successfully merge, a bridgehead of tens of meters will be opened up on the city wall, and it will be difficult to save Xinhui City.

Wang Yulong, the Qi army guard on the city, naturally understood this truth and personally led an army to counterattack in the direction of Cui Chengxiu, hoping to drive the enemy troops that were attacking the city back.

The importance of the new association is self-evident to both the enemy and ourselves. Everyone understands this.

Far below the city, Huang Zhan watched Cui Chengxiu and Xie Zongjie both attack the city wall, and a smile appeared on his face. Firstly, it was because after three days, the Eastern Expeditionary Army finally attacked the city wall, and in a gratifying manner, as long as the two of them Once they have established a firm foothold, Xinhui will inevitably win. Secondly, it is because their own troops did not lose to the new first army in an offensive and defensive battle.

"It seems we can have a celebratory drink in Xinhui City today!" He looked sideways at Chen Haoran and smiled.

"Be prepared to get drunk!" Chen Haoran was also smiling.

The sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the distance, and several scouts flew over. He walked directly in front of the two men, gave them a hurried military salute, and said loudly: "Commander Huang, we found that a Qi army troop was approaching Xinhui."

Huang Zhan's expression changed, "How many people are there and what kind of flag are they holding?"

"About ten thousand people, carrying the flag of a general named Zhu," the scout said loudly.

"Your surname is Zhu? Zhu Wei?" Huang Zhan's expression changed and he looked at Chen Haoran, who also had a shocked look on his face. Zhu Wei was Tian Fucheng's deputy general. He came to aid the Xinhui in person, so what are Zheng Xiaoyang and the others from Langya County doing? Why didn't Tian Fucheng's large army be restrained?

"How far is it from here?"

"Less than ten miles!"

I heard it was only less than ten miles away,

Huang Zhan's face suddenly darkened. He looked up at the city where fierce fighting was still taking place. The Qi army's counterattack was quite fierce. Cui Chengxiu and Xie Zongjie still had not joined together and were still fighting on their own.

Sighing regretfully, Huang Zhan looked at Chen Haoran, "Damn it. God is not as good as man, but they are lucky. They can't drink in Xinhui City today."

"If you can't drink today, then let's try another day!" Chen Haoran nodded slightly.

Above the city. The steel knife in Cui Chengxiu's hand had been broken. He snatched the spear of a Qi soldier, stabbed and beat him, and moved a few meters closer to Xie Zongjie. At this time, the distance between the two people was less than twenty meters, and they could see the smiles on each other's faces clearly, so they tried harder. can be brought together. As soon as the two armies join together, it will be the end of the Qi army in Xinhui City.

The smile on Cui Chengxiu's face froze just as it bloomed. Under the city, the sound of military bugles for withdrawing troops rang loudly. He turned around in surprise and looked at the city.

Not only the bugle, but also the flag of the army was waving. Although he was confused, the military orders of the Eastern Expeditionary Army could not be disobeyed. He angrily picked up a Qi soldier on the opposite side with a shot and slammed it at the enemy in front. Army, Cui Chengxiu shouted: "The whole army retreats, I will break up the rear."

Along the ladders of the occupied area, the soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army slid down one by one. Cui Chengxiu stood on the battlements, swinging his spears like windmills, covering the retreat of his men.

The Zhengdong Army suddenly retreated under the overwhelming advantage. Wang Yulong was equally puzzled, but more overjoyed. In his joy, his already numb arms immediately gained infinite strength and shouted loudly. Then, ordered the soldiers on the city to launch a counterattack

Cui Chengxiu stood on the wall, looking at the smiling Wang Yulong, and felt even more angry. The smiling person should have been him. He swept all directions with one move, forcing away the Qi army around him. He raised his spear with one arm and shouted angrily. Drinking, Pishou threw the spear in his hand towards Wang Yulong in the distance.

The spear drew an afterimage in the air, with a whining sound, and accurately stabbed Wang Yulong in the distance. Wang Yulong obviously did not expect that the other party found him so accurately among the crowd, and his eyesight went dark. The spear was coming towards me. I was so frightened that I didn't care about my appearance. I fell straight back to the ground. I felt a chill on the tip of my nose. My face was hurt by the cold wind brought by the spear. There was a scream from behind, and a soldier was pierced between the chest and abdomen by this spear.

Cui Chengxiu couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw the other generals escaping. Seeing the Qi army swarming up, knowing that there was no further delay, he jumped off the city wall with a backward flip, and rode his legs on the ladder, head and feet. It was like riding a slide, sliding down quickly. After sliding to the bottom, before getting up, he picked up a shield from the ground and put it behind him. As expected, the shield had just been set up, and there were two clanging sounds. Two feather arrows hit the shield, and Cui Chengxiu ran towards the formation. At this time, thousands of people in the formation had already rushed up, and one after another rushed towards the city with a piercing cry, covering the city. Return to the main formation after withdrawing from the siege.

The attack on Xinhui fell short, and both Huang Zhan and Chen Haoran led their troops to evacuate while holding back their anger.

"What is Zheng Xiaoyang doing? I'm going to complain about him to the group army!" Huang Zhan said angrily. Although Zheng Xiaoyang's military rank is higher than his, his qualifications are also not shallow.

"I'm afraid something unexpected happened that we don't know about yet," Chen Haoran said calmly, "Let's take a look first and then talk!"

In fact, Zheng Xiaoyang and Ding Wei are really not to blame for this matter. They never expected that under the current situation in western Liaoning, Tian Fucheng would not only send his army to western Liaoning to rescue his father, but would actually do his best. , went straight to Xinhui, which made their previous arrangements completely fall into the void. By the time they got over, Tian Fucheng's main force had long since disappeared.

Wang Yulong stood on the city wall. It wasn't until he saw Zhu Wei's banner appearing in his field of vision that he finally understood what was going on. It turned out that reinforcements from his own side had arrived.

"Open the city gate" he said with a smile on his face

There was no smile on Zhu Wei's face. He stepped into the gate of Xinhui City, stared at Wang Yulong, and asked directly: "Is there still my young garrison in Xinhui City?"

"General Zhu, there are 5,000 defenders in Xinhui City. They have been fighting for the past few days and have injured more than 1,000 people. Currently, there are more than 3,000 people who are still fighting."

"How much food and grass are left?"

"There is enough food and grass. A new batch of food and grass has been shipped from Tianhe, but we haven't had time to send it out yet."

"Very well, gather your troops and bring all the food and grass. Let's go to Zaihe," Zhu Wei said

"Going to Tianhe?" Wang Yulong was stunned for a moment, "Why go to Tianhe? I'm leaving, where is Xinhui?"

Zhu Wei glanced at Wang Yulong and said coldly: "Ye Zhen is attacking our army in Tianhe. Wang Pei can no longer stop it. We must go to Tianhe immediately to help him stabilize the situation in Tianhe."

Wang Yulong blinked and looked at Zhu Wei, why didn't he know about Tianhe? Ten days ago, a batch of grain, grass and equipment was transported from Tianhe, and he didn't listen to the escort officer talking about it?

Looking at Wang Yulong's eyes, Zhu Wei said sternly: "Obey the order. This is an order issued by General Tian himself. General Tian's headquarters will arrive at Xinhui soon. Don't ignore Xinhui. Let's go back to Tianhe."

"Yes, I understand!" Wang Yulong gave a military salute, turned around and hurried to arrange the arrangements.

One day later, Tian Fucheng led all the Qi troops in Langya County out of Xinhui and rushed to Tianhe, leaving an empty Xinhui to the Eastern Expedition Army. After hearing the news, Huang Zhan and Chen Haoran stood in the light. On top of the slippery city wall, looking at the stains of blood that have not yet dried up, I was relatively speechless.

"Damn it, this second son of the Tian family is ruthless. He didn't even want me and ran away by himself. If I had known this, why would we have spent so much effort to fight for new skills? Why would we just wait for them to give up on their own initiative?" Huang Zhan sighed.

"We are looking at the problem with ordinary people's thinking. The second son of the Tian family is a ruthless person. We can't compare with him." Chen Haoran also smiled bitterly. "Things went wrong. Tian Fucheng's tens of thousands of troops poured into Tianhe. General Ye Zhen was there I’m afraid Tianhe’s offensive will have to stop to avoid the opponent.”

"What does the second son of the Tian family want to do?" Huang Zhan asked in confusion.

"What kind of medicine is Tian Fucheng selling in his belly?" In Langya County, the depressed Zheng Xiaoyang was also talking to himself. Beside him, Ding Wei, Cao Tianci and others all smiled bitterly and shook their heads. This move is really true. No one thought

"Tian Fucheng must want to bring these troops back to Qi State" A clear and sweet voice sounded in his ears, and Ye Jing'er appeared in everyone's sight holding a little joy.

"Madam!" Everyone bowed and saluted.

Ye Jing'er nodded and sat down in the middle, "Tian Fucheng seems to think that Tian Dan will become our prey even if he doesn't die, so while he still has some strength, he will rush back to the country to seize power. You know , in Qi State, in the Tian family, Tian Yuanyuan, the eldest son of Tian, ​​is recognized as the successor of Tian Dan."

Cao Tianci raised his eyebrows, "So, there will be civil strife in Qi State!"
