Wu Yue raised her eyebrows and looked back at Xiaohong and asked: How can I see it?

Xiaohong replied: Take the two recent large-scale annihilation wars as an example. The government army has the lead, and both weapons and equipment and troop deployment have obvious advantages, but they always drag on the fight. If the Battle of Sanggan River was not Liang Hongyu's direct lineage, the victory or defeat was unpredictable; if the Battle of Baidengshan was not brave and good at fighting, the government army might even fall into a situation of fighting on their own. All this only shows that the Zhantianying army was all ready to die, but the government army had no fighting spirit!

Wu Yue nodded and said: Actually, it is not that the officers and soldiers are not loyal enough, nor that they are afraid of death because they are from all walks of life in China. In recent years, according to what I have seen and heard about traveling through the world, there are very few people who are satisfied with the court. When they hear their relatives complain about the court all day long, the loyalty of the officers and soldiers to the court is naturally hit hard, and it is not much better. If the court was willing to reliably use talents like Liang Hongyu in the early years, the Zhantianying Army would probably not have expanded to such a level.

Xiaohong said: This is just a hypothesis. During the peace period, the court has always been nepotism. Without any chance, those talented people have no way to make a comeback. But when the situation is extremely urgent, when these talented people have the opportunity to clean up the mess, everything is irreversible. This is the difficult situation Liang Hongyu is currently facing.

Murong Ziyan asked: Xiaohong might as well make a bold prediction, how will the victory or defeat of the Huaian Battle?

Xiaohong said in a narrow mind: Is this not the younger generation hiding his weakness? It’s really hard to assert that Liang Hongyu’s army’s only weakness may be very fatal.

The eldest princess received the Huaian front-line battle report in Fengyin Palace, and she couldn't help but be amazed!

I'm afraid even if she leads a large army to the battlefield in person, she may not be able to achieve such brilliant results so far!

Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire

Everything seemed to be like to verify what Xiaohong said, the vanguard of Xuande Army, who implemented a strategic detour, appeared quietly under the city of Huaian County at a rapid march speed that almost exceeded the limit of the human body, and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the official army's food, grass, supplies and supplies station and strategic key points that Shi Guoliang led heavy troops to deploy!

Because his strategic position in the defense zone is too important, Shi Guoliang dared not neglect. These days, he has been leading his personal troops to supervise the battle on the top of the Nanmen City, commanding his soldiers to repel the enemy soldiers who flocked to the top of the city like ants along countless ladders.

When the siege battle was the most violent, Huaian City looked from a distance like a wooden tub covered with countless black ants on the outer wall!

And the Xuande army, led by Zhan Hailiang, had such a life-deserving terrible offensive, and there were at least a dozen waves every day!

However, they were all fought bloody battles by Commander Shi Guoliang and were repelled one by one.

The offensive and defensive battle between Huaian County was effective, and the strategist was balanced in terms of offensive and defense, and was impeccable. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, both sides paid heavy casualties. Huaian County, which was stationed by the government troops with absolute advantage, remained unmoved.

This city attack and defense battle that was usually devouring a large number of young lives continued until the fourth day. Zhan Hailiang's more than a hundred soldiers of Xuande soldiers who had marched thousands of miles apart and immediately started to the siege. They were hungry and cold and exhausted. They were originally a group of beggars who were stranding on the streets of Guanzhong. They had just been under the sect for food and clothing for a few months. They were not strong enough. They took the initiative to find the official army who came back to the front line to beg for begging.

This behavior is purely due to the instinct of survival, but now they are no longer beggars, but a small army that cannot fill their stomachs. Such actions are nothing more than surrendering to the government army. However, they do not seem to realize this, let alone have any conspiracy and intrigue. They just want to fill their stomachs at the moment.

After being brought back to Huaian City by this official army for a meal, the more than a hundred Xuande soldiers who had a round stomach worship and loyalty to the God of Heaven De were back, and suddenly turned against each other again, and rushed forward like a crazy tiger to snatch the weapons from the hands of the official soldiers, fought desperately with the official army, and set fires everywhere in the city!

Seeing such a chaotic situation suddenly appearing in the city, Shi Guoliang, who was supervising the war at the south gate, hurriedly brought his personal soldiers to deal with the emergencies.

More than a hundred Xuande soldiers could not make a big fuss. Shi Guoliang quickly found out the incident and couldn't help but laugh and sent someone to kill the perpetrators.

However, this matter was not so easy to settle. Shi Guoliang looked up and saw that the houses lit by these inexplicable crazy beggars had begun to burn. The fire was getting bigger and the officers and soldiers stationed nearby did not easily put out the fire for a while. Moreover, it was the cold winter month, the climate was dry, the north wind was howling, and the wind was helping the fire, spreading rapidly everywhere.

There were a large number of food, supplies and supplies from more than 300,000 troops stored in the city. If they were burned by this fire, it would definitely be a huge disaster. Even if he had a thousand heads, it would not be enough for the general to cut them down!

Shi Guoliang no longer cared about climbing the city to supervise the battle, so he recruited two generals to draw some troops to reinforce. It is important to put out the fire as soon as possible.

The officers and soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the enemy on the city wall were shocked to hear that there was an enemy in the city. Some people were already panicked. In the process of fighting with the enemy soldiers who kept climbing up to the city from the ladder and going one after another, they couldn't help but look back and watch. At this moment, seeing the fire in the city getting stronger and stronger, they couldn't help but panic. One of the cowards exclaimed nervously: Tian Ah! A large number of enemy troops have already attacked the city from there!

When the fierce battle was in full swing, this terrifying shout was very contagious. The officers and soldiers on the four walls were all terrified. The guards and soldiers at the west gate believed that the east gate had fallen, while the north gate had speculated that the north gate had been broken by the enemy, and vice versa

They could not see General Shi, and many uninformed officers and soldiers even speculated whether he had already escaped first?

The other senior generals who commanded the battles on several gatehouses were also panicked, and no one was willing to stand up for unified coordination and command. Of course, at this moment, even if a brave deputy general stood up, not many people would listen to him!

So on the city walls around, panic was spreading everywhere!

Since the city gate over there has been broken by the enemy, what are we still guarding here... Escape quickly. If we are blocked by the enemy and attacked on both sides of the city, we can't even run away! …

The screams of the officers and soldiers rang out one after another, like a fire in the city, quickly spreading to every corner of the city wall!

The unrestrained defenders on the city were already overwhelmed by the increasingly fierce offensives of the enemy soldiers who were fearless. The feeling was not much better than when they were with General Shi on the Liaohe defense line with General Shi!

Facing such a chaotic and unclear situation, the crowd was suddenly in an uproar. Without waiting for General Shi to return to the city to clarify the truth, a large number of soldiers ignored the loud shouts of their respective commanders and fled one after another!

General Zuo at all levels saw that he had become a lonely man. How could he fight against the enemy soldiers who fought against him with his own strength?

So most of them had no choice but to run away, of course, the premise was to run fast enough

The remaining loyal and brave men could not resist the ants and soldiers. A large number of warriors of Xuande Army who swarmed from all directions to the city walls. On the walls of Huaian County, Zhan Hailiang's army, who had a clear disadvantage in their troops, were attacked in one fell swoop!

Let’s talk about the city, with the efforts of the firefighters, the fire was almost under control. Shi Guoliang hurriedly led his personal troops to the south gate to clarify the facts to the guards of the city, intending to cheer the soldiers up.

However, when he rushed to the south gate first, the scene in front of him was still a little far away!

The officers and soldiers on the city wall had already scattered, and now there were a large number of Xuande soldiers struck by yellow turbans!

There were some armored generals wearing iron helmets mixed in between. The command headquarters was invincible and the official troops guarding the gate fled in panic, and opened the city gate and put them into Zhan Hailiang's army. More rebels were constantly flocking into the city from the south gate, holding various simple weapons, rushing towards all directions in the city, quickly expanding the results of the battle!

To be honest, Shi Guoliang's troops still have an absolute advantage until now, so he can fight to the death with Zhan Hailiang's army. Unfortunately, there are not many officers and soldiers who are willing to follow the chief general and fight fiercely with the fierce enemy.

Shi Guoliang turned around and looked around. In addition to his personal soldiers, he could not see many soldiers around him and even behind him. Even if there were some, they would run around in the city or in every corner outside the city, trying their best to avoid the enemy's attacks like ostrichs, rather than picking up weapons to fight bravely!

Shi Guoliang was powerless to turn the world back, surrounded by his personal soldiers and rushed towards the southern city gate. They waved their sabers and horses and rushed towards the Xuande army officers and soldiers who were swarming into the city. The two sides collided head-on, and launched a bloody battle between the infantry and the loyal and brave knights who were fearless. Under the command of the guard captain, the personal soldiers fought bravely to the first place. After paying a huge price for casualties, they finally sacrificed their lives to protect General Shi and rushed out of the city gate.

Until now, Shi Guoliang was still unbelievable. Huaian County, where the entire 100,000 official troops were heavily deployed, he devoted great energy to strengthening the strategic fortress of the city defense, so it was easily lost in such dramatic ways!

He couldn't help but ask himself, was this accident?

Or is it a tragedy that will inevitably occur?

But at least he knew very well that under normal circumstances, the morale of well-equipped officials was lowered, but they still didn't show much harm. He could fight against the Zhantianying Rebels.

But a little bit of trouble will lead to an avalanche effect

This was the situation before him. A small accident happened by chance, which caused the indestructible fortress to collapse!

Of course, he felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility. If a deputy general was sent to the city to deal with this matter at that time, there might not be such disastrous consequences, right?

But a raging fire was inexplicably lit in the city and so much food and supplies were stored. Can the lord, the lord, not go check it out in person?

However, he no longer has the extra time to be sentimental

Zhan Hailiang, who was about to enter the city from the south gate, heard the news that the head general of the official army, Shi Guoliang, had escaped from the south gate, and hurriedly sent a cavalry team to pursue the victory, with thousands of infantry following him.

At this time, Shi Guoliang was only left with more than 300 loyal and brave guards. He dared not fight. He led his team to gallop for more than 60 miles to Shunsheng City, and he bumped into a large number of Xuande troops under Tuoba Wei's troops who were attacking the siege!

Fortunately, his guard captain reacted very quickly and quickly grabbed his bridle and turned his head, leading everyone into a small path, luckily avoiding the main force of the enemy and continuing to travel south. However, the Xuande army gathered heavily in Ding'an County and Weizhou along the way!

It was not until he ran to Lingxian Town, more than 30 miles south of Weizhou under the escort of his personal soldiers that Shi Guoliang could finally stop and take a breath

He sent his personal soldiers to explore everywhere, trying to find out the enemy situation in this area, and even more so that he could understand why so many enemy troops suddenly emerged nearby without any warning.

During this process, his generals and defeated soldiers also rushed to Lingxian Town like fleeing. Due to the continuous interception and attack by the Xuande army of Zhan Hailiang and Tuoba Wei, at least one-third of them had died on their way south.

Shi Guoliang sent his personal soldiers and those returning generals to recruit defeated troops everywhere. It took him five days to gather the subordinates who fled south, and even gathered more than 50,000 people!
