Invincible son

Chapter 834 833 [Please enter the urn]

The setting sun is like blood.

Unceasing cheers resounded from above the city of Jiangling.

Today's battle situation is very dangerous. The city wall was occupied by the Zhou army several times, and the Yangchun Gate in the south and Wenchang Gate in the east were almost breached.Fortunately, the Jingjiang Guard led by Gu Jie arrived in time to help the defenders stabilize the city defenses. If it weren't for the emergence of this elite new force, Jiangling City might have become an important border defense town in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Even though it was far away, those piercing cheers still faintly spread to the Zhou army formation in the south.

In the handsome tent, Fang Xiexiao looked gloomy, listening to the military judge's report on today's casualties, he did not speak for a long time.

The atmosphere was serious and dull, and those generals who were eager to try were like dead quails at the moment.After four consecutive days of offensive and defensive battles, they finally understood where the strength of the Beiliang court came from, those fierce soldiers who dared to jump off the city wall with the Zhou army in their arms and perish together in desperation.

After the fourth year of Emperor Kaiping's accession to the throne in Northern Liang, the two countries have not launched a large-scale national war in the past 13 years, and there have been only three small-scale sneak attacks around Jiangling City.Most of these military generals have not experienced the years of gunpowder 30 years ago. All they think about is making meritorious deeds and fighting for the title.

"...A total of 210 soldiers were killed today, 160 nine were seriously injured, and the rest can continue to fight." The military judge's stern voice echoed in the tent.

Some people gasped. Counting the losses in the past few days, the Chengbei camp had already suffered tens of thousands of casualties. The most terrible thing was that being unable to attack for a long time would seriously affect the morale of the soldiers below.

"Father handsome."

Fang Yuntian's voice broke the dead silence in the tent, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see him limping in with a cane, then came to the front and put down the cane, resisting the pain of the wound on his leg and knelt down and said: " The last general has not fulfilled the military order, so that the Beiliang reinforcements entered Jiangling City smoothly, please punish the father commander severely according to the military regulations!"

Fang Xiexiao looked at him expressionlessly.

Most of the military generals in the tent are from Pingjiang, and the remaining small part are also martial arts promoted by Fang Xiexiao. I don't know the status of this eldest son in the heart of the Duke, and they all stand up to speak for Fang Yuntian .

Although they all knew that if Fang Yuntian's trapped camp could stop the ten thousand elite soldiers from crossing the river, they might be able to break through Jiangling, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is never a sure victory. Those who can be sent to support must be The elite of the Northern Liang Frontier Army.

Fang Xiexiao waved his hand to signal the others to sit down, looked at his eldest son and asked, "Why did you get hurt?"

He is very aware of Fang Yuntian's martial arts cultivation and battle experience, not to mention that some masters in the camp will sacrifice their lives to protect the master at critical moments.Jingjiang Wei's strength is not a secret, Gu Jie is the eldest son of Gu Liang, and the detailed information has long been on Fang Xiexiao's desk, so he really wants to know the details of Fang Yuntian's injury.

Fang Yuntian didn't hide anything, and told the situation in detail in front of everyone.

"There are such masters in the Northern Liang Army?" A general wondered.

Judging from Fang Yuntian's description, that pawn is clearly just an ordinary character, but his strength is above that of Gu Jie, which seems a bit bizarre.

Fang Yuntian looked up at his father, and after thinking about it, he said cautiously: "Father, the general thinks that pawn is actually a woman."

There was an uproar.

If he read correctly, the identity of a female master who can appear in the Beiliang army at this age is already ready to be revealed.

A middle-aged Wu Xun next to him said: "I heard that there is a woman beside Pei Yue in Beiliang, her name is Ye Qi, although she is only in her twenties, she has amazing talent in martial arts, and she is faintly the best among the younger generation. "

Fang Xiexiao said calmly: "Wu King Li Yang died at her hands."

Everyone became more and more surprised, there are not a few people who love martial arts in the world, those young masters in the Three Kingdoms Army gradually became famous all over the world, such as Beiliang Gu Fan, Wu King Li Yang, and Fang Yuntian in the tent.Now that they heard that Ye Qi was able to kill Wang Liyang, and today he injured Fang Yuntian head-on, they finally had a clear understanding of the woman's strength.

Fang Yuntian didn't complain about himself, and said extremely calmly: "Father commander, if this pawn is Ye Qi, it means that Pei Yue is not exhausted. He is now being forced to the west by his second brother, so he can be ignored for the time being."

Fang Xiexiao said noncommittally: "You didn't complete the military order today, and you should have been punished with forty military sticks. I think you have injuries on your body, and it will be of great use in the future. Let's make a note for the time being and wait until after the war."

Fang Yuntian bowed his head and said: "The last general takes orders."

Looking at Fang Xiexiao's gloomy face, all the generals were silent.

Fang Xiexiao knew that with Fang Yuntian's martial arts cultivation, the forty army sticks would not hurt his muscles and bones, and other generals knew it well, but this was a very obvious signal and warning.The following siege battles cannot be neglected. If every time they return without success like today, maybe the next time they will not be punished by military sticks.

After a while, Fang Huai, the leader of the Langtu Battalion, reported in his internal report: "My lord, the commander of the Wufeng Navy sent an urgent report. The navy rushed to the battlefield half an hour ago. Liang Guo's navy retreated to the water village without fighting. .Now that I am in control of the pontoon on the river, Jiangling has become an isolated city."

Fang Xiexiao's face softened a little, and the others were all in complicated moods.

On the one hand, they were finally able to feel completely at ease and put all their minds on the siege. On the other hand, they naturally felt sorry. If the navy could come back earlier, the Liang army on the north bank would not dare to send troops to support so calmly, unless they were willing to use it. The Dingzhou navy that piled up the money was desperate.

Fang Yuntian said calmly: "Father commander, the law of war says ten times to encircle and five times to attack. Now there are about 4 defenders in Jiangling City. The general suggests to continue to increase the number of troops."

There are three large camps in the Southern Peripheral Army. Unlike Daliang who hoarded heavy troops on the border, they adopted a ladder-type defensive strategy.The three frontier army camps are the first line of defense, the passes and important towns represented by Shimen Pass are the second line of defense, and then the last line of defense built around Jian'an City. It can also be seen from this that the Southern Zhou Dynasty was essentially in the Defensive, not as aggressive as Daliang.

Apart from the Chengbei camp facing Jiangling City, the other two are the Linjiang camp guarding Wuwei and Tianchang in the east, and the Ningguo camp guarding many passes in the west.

Fang Xiexiao, as the Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs, of course has the right to mobilize the troops of any military town, but for the sake of confidentiality, all his arrangements were confined to the Chengbei Camp.Now it is difficult to achieve a quick victory. The number of defenders in Jiangling City exceeded expectations. The Nanzhou Navy successfully controlled the waters.

After thinking for a long time, Fang Xiexiao said to Fang Huai: "Give me an order to dispatch [-] infantry from the Ningguo camp and rush to Jiangling City within five days."

"Follow the order!" Fang Huai took the order and left.

The generals were a little puzzled, judging from the distance, the Linjiang camp to the east is closer, and it is more convenient to deploy troops from there.

It didn't take long for an urgent military report to verify the correctness of Fang Xie Xiao's order.

"Northern Liang's Yaoshan camp came out in full force, and many Northern Liang warships appeared in the lower reaches of the Tiancang River. It seems that they intend to cross the river and attack Wuwei City!"

Fang Xiexiao put the report on the table, and slowly exhaled a foul breath from his chest.

The battle situation is obviously advancing according to his plan.
