Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 312: Estrangement, breakout

On the 27th, the Huai army launched a second round of fierce attack.

Luo Guang led a group of Qu commanders to come to the city in person to supervise the battle.

The Huai Army's second round of siege was once again defended by the Tianshi Army, and this time the casualties were not as heavy as yesterday.

Just when Luo Guang planned to boost the morale of the entire army, the granary in the city suddenly caught fire, and the billowing smoke was visible to the Huai army outside the city.

The generals of the Huai Army realized that the insiders who had previously arranged to enter the city began to take action.

In the afternoon of that day, the Huai Army began the third round of siege, and the scale and intensity of this siege were much greater than the previous two rounds. The Huai Army personally took command of the battle, and Chu Ce took the lead.

Facing the Huai army's strong attack on the city, Luo Guang could no longer spare his energy to deal with the burning of the granary, so he had to arrange for Tang Xiude to lead people to put out the fire.

However, Yan Hai and the others did not just burn the granary. Taking advantage of the fact that the Tianshi army was unable to take care of the rear, they divided their troops into several groups and set fire to the equipment warehouse that they had discovered before.

After all the fires were burning, Yan Hai and the others caused all kinds of chaos in the city.

But the results waiting for them were miserable.

Because the Huai army did not capture Linchuan City before dark, they had no choice but to retreat first.

Luo Guang, who had regained his composure, immediately dealt with the burning of the granary.

Yan Hai and the others were naturally found out and sentenced to death by the Heavenly Master Army. Their heads were then cut off and hung on the city gate tower.

Although Yan Hai and the others died, their goal was achieved.

The burning of the granaries and equipment depots put the Tianshi Army, which already had little food, into a desperate situation, and caused the already low morale to sink to the bottom.

But at this time, the Huai army was not in a hurry to attack the city.

Every day he organized an army to shout outside the city, saying that they only wanted Luo Guang's head, and if the others surrendered, they would be exempted from death penalty.

And if someone comes to surrender with the heads of Luo Guang and Thirty-six Fang Qushuai, King Huai will not only absolve him of all responsibilities, but also give him a reward. Luo Guang's head is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver, and Dafang Qushuai's head is worth ten thousand taels. Xiaofang Qu was handsome and had five thousand taels, and he reported it to the emperor to ask for officials and titles for him.

Although Luo Guang knew that this was King Huai's plan to alienate him, he couldn't resist the fact that this plan was really effective.

The Celestial Master soldiers below looked at them with something wrong.

Thirty days.

A Xiaofang Qushuai, who was promoted and only had seventh-level strength, was killed by his deputy general in his sleep, and the entire Xiaofang army rebelled.

Although it was quickly suppressed, this example made their commanders wary of their soldiers.

Luo Guang also became more wary of Tang Xiude.

In Linchuan City, people are panicked.

But even at this time, the Huai army was not in a hurry to attack the city, but still surrounded it.

At this time, the severe winter has arrived, and the cold wind blowing on the face is like a knife. The news that "persist for a month, the Huai thieves will retreat" was spread among the Tianshi army. became a rumor.

At this moment, even if Lei Gong really came to help, the Tianshi Army had almost lost their fighting spirit, and a depressed mood permeated the entire army.

December 2nd.

Luo Guang led the entire army out of the city to break out of the siege in the name of Thunder Lord's help.

Luo Guang mobilized all the innate spiritual energy in his body, lowered a few thunderbolts, and actually cut a hole forcefully, leading his army to break out.

But what he didn't know was that this was a flaw deliberately exposed by Huai Jun. The fifth Fusheng proposed to King Huai.

There are still many Tianshi troops in Linchuan City, so it is not the best time to eliminate them.

Instead, use the method of boiling the frog in warm water to slowly kill the frog.

If it's boiling water as soon as you come up, the Heavenly Master Army will fight you tooth and nail.

Although the Huai army is not afraid of the Tianshi army's desperate efforts, it will still cause heavy losses.

It would be better to leave an opening for the Heavenly Master Army to break out, and then send pursuers to pursue them, gradually reducing the strength of the Heavenly Master Army.

Of course, there is no need to chase too closely. Just keep an eye on the main force of the Tianshi Army. The other branch armies of the Tianshi Army will only run away less and less on the way to escape.

It's not surprising that there are even surrenders.

The result was similar to what Fifth Fusheng expected.

When Luo Guang led the Tianshi Army to escape to the north of Fengzhou, the strength of the Tianshi Army was already less than 10,000.

……

Chen Mo still doesn't know about the current news in Fengzhou.

At this moment, he had just left Yuzhou and entered Qingzhou with his three daughters, Xia Zhiqing, Xia Zhining, and Yi Shiyan, and five hundred soldiers.

The weather was cold and the horses were afraid of the cold, so the march was a bit slow.

It is said that the emperor drives six, the princes drive five, and the ministers drive four.

Chen Mo is a Marquis of Pingting County who speaks the truth and is recognized by the people of the world. He travels with five horses.

And the grade of the carriage is also relatively high.

It's not that Chen Mo is trying to be particular now, but when a person's status and power reaches a certain level, he needs to be a person with a certain reputation. It is also a manifestation of strength to increase the awe of the people below you.

After all, if the boss travels in a shabby way, let alone what outsiders think, the people below will also feel shameless.

Chen Mo's carriage is equivalent to a mobile warm pavilion with a soft couch inside.

In front of the soft couch, Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining lay side by side, stretching like a cat.

Chen Mo stood behind Xia Zhiqing, with his hand on Xia Zhining's chest, admiring the mountains and flowing water, and taking pictures from time to time, which elicited an angry murmur. From the perspective of the bystander Yi Shiyan, he could see the full moon hanging upside down. , ups and downs.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I have to say that even without lighting the brazier, it will be warmer than with the brazier lit."

Xia Zhiqing's face turned red. As her younger sister, Xia Zhining slapped Chen Mo's hand away and said angrily: "You are getting more and more crazy. You are really not afraid of people outside hearing it when you are driving on the road."

"Personal soldiers, personal soldiers, do you know what personal soldiers are?" Ignoring Xia Zhining's annoyance, Chen Mo continued to weigh his ambitions, and then said: "I thought I could bring my father-in-law back for the New Year, and I promised as follows Son, now it looks like I’m afraid I’m going to break my promise.”

Seeing that Chen Mo's offensive had calmed down, Xia Zhiqing took a breath and turned around and said, "Will Prince Huai be so honest and let him go?"

Chen Mo held Xia Zhiqing's waist and said, "He has to let go."

Xia Zhiqing unconsciously clenched the quilt in her hands, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but said: "After King Huai has defeated the Tianshi Army, his territory and strength will skyrocket, so King Huai's next step is to attack you, Mo Lang. Although you signed a non-aggression treaty with King Huai, Mo Lang, as his neighbor and occupying the land of the three states, is too great a threat to him, and the treaty cannot restrain him at all.

Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. Maybe Mo Lang, you shouldn't just sit back and watch the Tianshi army be destroyed by King Huai. "
