C1015

The Central Army that was stationed at the Bailin were ambushed by four Pingyuan Army divisions led by Jiang Fan. In this battle, all of them suffered a crushing defeat, and a large portion of the 80,000 strong army were killed. The remaining soldiers also fled and scattered, leaving behind only two deputy Generals and over eight hundred soldiers by Lu Hongming's side.

The battle had ended and Lu Hongming seemed to have instantly aged more than ten years. He brought the several hundred veterans and fled back to the Bailin in a panic. Once he reached the Bailin, he did not stop for a moment. Although there were still twenty thousand Mo Army here, when compared to the number of Feng Army, they were already far too different.

After Lu Hongming returned to the Bailin, he ordered the entire army to pack up their equipment and rations. After that, he led the troops out of the city, abandoned the city, and fled to the south to converge with the Huben Army.

Very quickly, the news of Lu Hongming's defeat spread to the Yangchuan, after hearing it, Li Rong's face immediately changed. Sure enough, the Feng Army attack was a feint, its goal was to attract Yangchuan and their reinforcements, they were lucky that they were able to ambush halfway. Fortunately, he was on his guard and did not fall into the misdeeds of Feng Army.

But with Lu Hongming's withdrawal, it meant that a big hole had already been ripped open in the Mo Country's defenses, and Feng Army could completely pass through the Bailin to go south, entering the depths of the Mo Country. Right now, Li Rong only had two choices. Either defend his Yangchuan, or follow Lu Hongming's example and abandon the South of City, converge with the Huben Army, and then plan a counterattack.

After careful consideration, Li Rong finally decided to keep his Yangchuan. Even if his Feng Army broke through his own defense line, and entered into the depths of his Mo Country, he himself had to make sure that the rear of his Feng Army was not quiet. It would at least disrupt the logistics of his Feng Army, and create the most favorable conditions for them to fight.

Li Rong's strategic thinking was extremely correct, it was just that he had greatly underestimated Feng Country's determination this time around. The ones who entered the Mo Country realm were far more than just the Pingyuan Army army, followed by the Feng Country legion led by Zuo Shuang.

The news of Jiang Fan successfully ambushing the Bailin Army and their leader Lu Hongming escaping from the city shook Xiao Muqing up. He immediately sent a message to Jiang Fan, telling him to quickly occupy the Bailin and let his side have a stable stronghold. As for the Yangchuan, Li Rong did not fall for it. Xiao Muqing also did not plan to forcefully attack it, so he summoned back the Wu Guang that was lying in ambush between the Yangchuan and the water, and then joined forces to attack the water.

Under the continuous attacks of the Pingyuan Army's Trebuchet s, the defense of the city was already heavily damaged. Many sections of the city walls were smashed into thousands of holes, and it was on the verge of collapse.

Feng Army pushed a large number of chariots onto the battlefield, specially aiming for the heavily damaged parts of the walls. Not long after the two sides had fought, a portion of the walls of the Xiashui Town were forcefully smashed apart by the chariot, opening up a three to four meter wide hole.

Feng Army outside the city moved away the car, and went through the gap in the road, killing their way into the city. With the city walls blocking their way, the local army in the water could barely hold on against the Feng Army. Now that the Feng Army had attacked into the city, how could the local army hold on?

The Generals wanted to organize people to block the opening, but before the Mo Army could reach him, it was chopped to the ground by the rushing Feng Army. Wu Guang took the lead and led the way while the Spiritual Knife brandished it. It caused the wind to blow chaotically and the Mo Army pieces of it fell in front of him, causing the broken limbs of the Spirit Blade to scatter all over the ground.

Some of the Mo Army officers saw how brave and fierce Wu Guang was and even wanted to go over and block him. In the end, they weren't even able to last three rounds in front of Wu Guang before they were cut into two by Wu Guang's blade on their waists.

The battle strength of the local army was not strong in the first place, and when they met with the extremely fierce Pingyuan Army, they instantly collapsed. A large number of the local army lost their will to fight, and were killed until they cried for their parents, as they scrambled into the city. With Wu Guang in the lead, they chased after him with Pingyuan Army, and the siege battle also turned into a street battle.

Once the North City was broken, the defending army would run into the city. By the time the Pingyuan Army reached the city, the local army had already fled to the South City, and by the time the Pingyuan Army reached the South City, the local army would once again abandon the city and flee outside the city.

After this battle, many of the Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army s did not even see the face of their enemies. They felt that their enemies were all staring at them from the back of their heads, causing them to not know whether to laugh or cry.

Although Hu Xun was not an outstanding general and was very afraid of death, he did not dare run towards the south after breaking into the city. Instead, he headed west, escaping towards the Yangchuan to meet up with Li Rong.

In his view, there was still a possibility for him to escape into the water by escaping into the Yangchuan, and he himself also had the chance to make up for it by escaping into the south. In his view, there was still a chance to escape into the water by escaping into the Yangchuan, and he himself had a chance to make up for it.

On the other hand, Xiao Muqing did not chase after them, nor did he lead the troops to attack Yangchuan. Instead, he chose to continue going south, deeper into the heart of the Mo Country, and at the same time, send back the tides of the Pingyuan Army, as well as the good news of it being in the water and in the Bailin, back to the Nation.

This allowed Li Rong to see an opportunity. If he could take this opportunity to snatch the water and the Bailin back, it would be equivalent to locking his Pingyuan Army within the borders of the Mo Country. At that time, he would also only be at the mercy of his own side.

But then he thought about it, and felt that something was wrong. The Pingyuan Army commander, Xiao Muqing, was not a deceitful commander, could it be that he did not understand that if he abandoned his guard in the water, the Bailin would give his opponent time to cut off his retreat? Could it be that there was some trickery involved?

Li Rong had a suspicious personality in the first place, and with the help of his predecessors, even though he had noticed the appearance of the battleship, he did not dare to attack.

On the other side, the Feng Army side was also puzzled by Xiao Muqing's decision. Although it did not take much effort for them to take down the water and Bailin side, they could not leave just a few thousand brothers to guard it, right? After all, Yangchuan had not been seized yet, what if Yangchuan took the opportunity to attack? Although it was small in the water and its Bailin, it was still a huge burden for their own army of one hundred thousand.

Wu Guang and Jiang Fan also did not understand Xiao Muqing's thoughts. When they were traveling south with the army, they had also asked Xiao Muqing about this matter. The latter laughed leisurely with confidence, and said: "Although I don't know General Li Rong very well, but through the battle in the sea, I can see that he is a cautious and cautious man. To put it bluntly, he has a suspicious personality, even if our army does not leave a single soldier behind in the water or in the Bailin, he would not dare to recklessly attack us."

After hearing his words, Wu Guang and Jiang Fan secretly took a deep breath. The former creased their brows and asked: "If Li Rong were to send troops to attack, wouldn't our army be trapped in a desperate situation?"

Xiao Muqing shook his head confidently and said solemnly: "He definitely wouldn't."

"But what if?"

Xiao Muqing's eyes flickered with a ghostly light, and sighed: "If Li Rong is really foolish enough to send out troops to attack with water or Bailin, my army will no longer have any worries."

What kind of bullshit was this? Wu Guang and Jiang Fan were dumbstruck upon hearing this, they did not understand what Xiao Muqing was thinking in his heart, and even suspected that his brain had broken. The water and Bailin were their own escape routes, and they only had a few thousand people protecting them.

Even generals like Wu Guang and Wu Guang couldn't figure out what Xiao Muqing was thinking, much less what he was thinking.

Li Rong was able to hold his calm, and turn a blind eye to the close proximity of the water surface and Bailin that had almost become empty cities, and was not willing to send out troops. But Hu Li who had escaped could not wait, the Feng Army did not leave the water surface, and directly went through the city, how long was this a rare opportunity, if he did not take this opportunity to go back into the water, how long would he have to wait?0

After knowing that the Feng Army army was heading south, Hu Diao immediately went to find Li Rong, asking him to send out troops to seize the water. Li Rong shook his head like a rattle drum, and said repeatedly: "Not appropriate, not appropriate! The Feng Army is strange, I am afraid there is some trickery to it! "

Hu Pao was so anxious that he pointed repeatedly with his hands, and said anxiously: "General Li, the spies have clearly investigated the situation, the Feng Army is indeed the main force heading south, and the guards left in the water are not even three thousand strong. General Li, as long as we send our troops and take back the Xiashui Town, trapping the Feng Army within our borders is as easy as flipping my hand ?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Rong raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Did General Hu forget General Lu's previous example?"

"This ?"

"If you didn't say that it was an emergency in the water and if you didn't continuously send people to provide reinforcements, how would General Lu be ambushed by the Feng Army? Now that you have come to urge our troops again, I will definitely not agree with you! " Li Rong said resolutely.

Hu Xun's old face turned red from Li Rong's words, he stammered for a while, then stammered, "But ? But the situation now is different than it was then ? "

The actions of the Feng Army were completely unexpected and completely abnormal. If it was not because of some trick, that could only mean that the general of the Feng Army was a fool who did not know anything! You dare to believe that the Pingyuan Army Commander doesn't know how to fight? "Could he be a fool?"

Under Li Rong's continuous barrage of questions, Hu Diao was rendered speechless.

Actually, the reason Xiao Muqing dared to leave his back at the Mo Army was very simple; he has something to rely on. His reason was due to the Feilong Army of one hundred and fifty thousand people.

As the support of Pingyuan Army, Feilong Army would also be activated in a short period of time, and the Yangchuan left behind by Pingyuan Army would be the first target to attack after they entered the country.

If Li Rong protected the city with all his might, Feilong Army would not be an easy thing to break through by force. However, if Li Rong were to split up the troops to occupy the water and Bailin, making it impossible for them to concentrate their forces, then Feilong Army could easily destroy them one by one. It was because of this, that Xiao Muqing determined that if Li Rong truly sent his troops to attack the water and Bailin, it would be equivalent to seeking death.

It could be said that as the commander of a troop, Xiao Muqing had already seen through the situation. His own side's actions and the actions of the enemy were all within his calculations.

The reason why he was rushing south was not to lure Li Rong into splitting up his troops, but to gather all his Mo Army.

As the saying goes, war comes with speed. Once the Mo Country was fully formed, it would not be easy for the Pingyuan Army to defeat its opponent even if it wanted to. Furthermore, he was still concerned about the Huben Army of the Mo Country.
