It was already three o'clock in the evening outside the south gate of Yulong City, Yinming Army, Young Marshal Xu Shaopeng's commander camp is still brightly lit
Jade-faced Guard Xu Shaopengjun sat upright on the handsome chair with a little tiredness on his face, thinking about where the Yinming Army should go.
In the twenty days since the Yinming Sect's massive initiation, Xu Shaopeng has been busy with military affairs day and night, dispatching troops to leave troops to rectify military discipline and military style, and has almost never had a good sleep in the training army. Even though he is at the peak of the innate holy level, his advanced cultivation, which is almost the same as the veteran masters in the sect, cannot bear it.
Hua Yinghong's ability is really something that people can do! Xu Shaopeng has both admiration, envy, and even a little jealous of Hua Yinghong, the son of freedom who emerged from nowhere!
The nominal supreme leader of the Liberty Alliance, which started from scratch, was the former Tang Dynasty princess Liu Yufei, and there was also a meeting of the highest five people as a constraint. But in fact, the real decision-making power was all in the hands of Hua Yinghong alone. Hua Yinghong's decision was the Liberty Alliance. The Liberty Army regarded it as the final decision of the imperial edict and was prohibited. No one dared to violate the slightest violation. This is also one of the important reasons for the military myth that the Free Army is invincible!
On the other hand, Xu Shaopeng couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in his heart: Although he had the powerful Yinming Sect as a backing, he could create a huge momentum in one fell swoop. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves and controlled hundreds of large and small towns in Longshan Prefecture, Yushan Prefecture, and ShiYàn Prefecture, which occupied almost 80% of the Yulong County area and had a population of more than 12 million. However, Xu Shaopeng was also subject to the sect's elders in many matters.
Biluodao The internal affairs department headed by Xu Shan and the intelligence department had very limited support for Xu Shaopeng. They made no traces of inscrutability in military ordnance, food and grass, war horses, recruitment and training and reserves, which made him mute and eat yellow lotus, and could not say anything: in order to obtain the support of the internal affairs department, sometimes they had to compromise with Xu Shan for personnel arrangements in the army, and appoint some people with senior qualifications, high-ranking seniority but do not know how to fight and march as commanders.
Xu Shaopeng has been an orphan since he was a child. His adoptive father, Yinming Shenfu. Xu Ling accidentally discovered his talent. Not only did he accept it as his adopted son, but he also passed on his peerless martial arts. His trust and care for Xu Shaopeng made him remember his heart, and he wished he could devote himself to his work and repay him! But Xu Shan, Wei Wuxie and other veterans of the Yinming Sect may not be like this. In their hearts, the orthodox heir of the Yinming Sect is still the passionate young master Xu Xiaoyao, and Xu Shaopeng is the biggest threat!
The Free Army announced its march into the Baiyi Kingdom, and took down Loushan Pass within one day and rushed to the hinterland of the Baiyi Kingdom, which made the Yulong Langjun Xu Shaopeng feel happy and worried: on the one hand, he does not have to worry that the Free Army will enter Yulong Mansion west from Tianshui Prefecture, which can reduce the defensive forces deployed in the direction of Tianshui Prefecture; on the other hand, it also made him feel worried: the Ding family, which also reduced the threat to the Free Army, launched a large-scale attack on Wuling County, which would cause Sima Cheng and Sima Yuan, who were facing desperate situations, to fight to trap beasts!
According to information from the Yinming Sect inside Yulong City, after the new king Sima Yuan ascended the throne, the control and integration of the military and political power of the royal capital these days has been continuously strengthened, and most of the forces pro-protecting other princes in Yulong City have been eradicated by iron-blooded means.
Not counting as the master of the great guards, the Yulong Secret spy, the Yulong Daozong and various martial arts masters, there are currently Royal Inner Corps, directly under the Guard Corps, the First and Third Divisions, the Wuling Army, and a Baiyi Special Division brought back by Sima Yuan. The well-trained defenders in the city have reached 440,000, most of them are elite soldiers who have been trained for many years, have strong combat power and have been through continuous bloody battles.
Sima also frightened from Longshan Prefecture, Yushan Prefecture, Yulong Prefecture, and ShiYàn Prefecture were scared by the bloody massacre of the Yinming Army, and private soldiers were brought by the nobles of the four prefectures of Yulong County who fled to Yulong City. They fled to the refugees in Yulong City to select strong men and women, and are recruiting and forming five new reserve divisions.
Sima's family has been operating Yulong City for many years. Official statistics show that the original permanent population in the city exceeded 1.4 million, and now there will be more than 2 million people after the refugees. In addition, there are sufficient weapons and food, and the potential is unlimited. It is really not easy to get it!
"Huazi's Art of War" says: If you have ten, you will surround it, if you have five, you will attack it, and if you have more than twice, you will fight it. Xu Shaopeng led a large army to Yulong City and took down the Acropolis. This was a decision made in the case of only the Imperial Army and two Guard Divisions in Yulong City. It was to deceive Sima Cheng with few troops and limit his most elite combat power to Yulong City, so that the remaining troops of the Yinming Army and the scholars could sweep the entire Yulong County without any training.
But the Sima family first entered Yulong City with the main force of the Wuling Legion, and then more than 70,000 cavalry of Sima Yuan entered the city. After integration, the current military strength of Yulong City is far more than half of the Yinming Army in the besieged city! Although Xu Shaopeng has added reserves from various prefectures to make the total siege of the besieged city reach 800,000, if the Sima family launches a decisive battle, he really does not have much confidence in winning, and even if he can win miserably, how can he have the strength to compete with the Ding family, the Free Army and other powerful forces?
It is a clever way to march into Baiyi and fight against the tigers and shine together! Xu Shaopeng, almost like the seventh prince Sima Lang, has to spend time carefully savoring the "Huazi Art of War" every day, and has infinite respect for this genius!
Wujun Prefecture is connected to Yulong Prefecture in the south, Binjiang Prefecture in the north, Jianghan Prefecture in the east, and Yichun Prefecture in the west. It has developed economic and livelihood and rich resources. The official population is 3.5 million, making it the most important prefecture in Wuling County.
If the previous balance between the parties is maintained, Sima Cheng and Sima Yuan will be able to train a lot of reserves in Wuling County and Yulong City, and the Yinming Army will also be fully trained in the four counties of Yulong Mansion. With complete military equipment, the Free Army may not be able to gain much benefit.
However, at Hua Yinghong's order, the Free Army used the main first legion and the special operations division to conquer the barbarians, eliminating the Ding family's worries from Jianghan Prefecture to enter Wuling Prefecture from the west, which was equivalent to forcing the new king of Yulong Sima Yuan and the protector Sima Cheng to a dead end! In desperation, Sima Yuan and Sima Cheng would inevitably fight the siege of the Yinming Army, in order to defeat the battle, and then lead the troops northward to reinforce the Wujun Legion, a regular military division, and the Wuling Prefecture, which had empty troops, was stationed in Wujun Legion.
Hua Yinghong was obviously remembered by the assassination of the passionate young master Xu Xiaoyao, but the revenge was so silent and so sinister that it was invisible. If you put aside your position, it could be said that it was so wonderful!
Since he has seen through Hua Yinghong's plan, Xu Shaopeng is also a very smart person. After careful consideration, as long as he follows Long Feiyang's plan to withdraw Baiyang City and conquer Qingyuan City, he secretly withdraws the siege tonight and retreats the front line a little...
Retreat as advance, sometimes a better strategy than blindly making progress is to take a step back and the vast sky is wide. The Yinming Army's original purpose of besieging the city has been achieved. Most of the entire Yulong County area is already in their hands. Retreat, consolidate their rule, and watch the dragon and tiger fight. This is undoubtedly the best choice for the Yinming Army at this time!
It was already three o'clock in the evening, and the order to withdraw quietly had been issued. The Third Legion responsible for encircling Yulong City in the east and Fourth Legion in the north should have been almost withdrawn, right?
Report! The position of the Third Legion was attacked by the Yulong Army! Just as Xu Shaopeng was unwilling to fight head-on with the Yulong Army, the Yulong Army had already taken the initiative to attack, and an unprecedented battle was beyond evasion!
Outside the east gate of Yulong City, twenty miles southwest
In the bitter cold wind, protecting the king Sima Cheng and the new commander of the Guards Sima Xiangru stood on Lantern Mountain, quietly staring at the fire dragons everywhere in the distance
The victory or defeat of the battle tonight will determine whether Sima Yuan can reverse the passive situation for several days after seizing the throne. Under the aggressive attacks of Yinming Army, the eldest prince Sima Tai and the Ding family, the third prince Sima An and the Li family, Sima Cheng personally took charge of this battle. Only his reputation can suppress the generals of various departments and avoid the small abacus of preserving their own strength and refusing to fight to the death in an unprecedented battle.
As soon as the sky was approaching, someone had no idea who had nailed a letter from a distance with an arrow. The guard guards at the gate could not even see the letter that Yin Ming wanted to retreat, and he withdrew his troops overnight..., nameless and unpalatable
Sima Cheng was overwhelmed by the unfavorable situation for several days. He was overjoyed when he saw the letter and urgently ordered the troops to prepare for battle. He sent dozens of top spies from Yulong Secret spies to sneak out of the city to monitor. He was sure that after the Yinming Army had indeed withdrawn, he immediately blocked the news in the city with martial law and mobilized heavy troops to gather at the east gate and the south gate. After most of the third legion of the Yinming Army withdrew from the solid position, he pursued the Yinming Army with great difficulty. He must severely damage the Yinming Army at the lowest cost and win back the initiative in strategy. If the Yinming Army is allowed to withdraw easily, when Yulong City sends troops to rescue Wuling Mansion, the Yinming Army will attack Yulong City again. Wouldn't it be difficult again?
It was not until the third update of the night that most of the third legion of the Yinming Army led by Wei Wuxie withdrew, leaving only one cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment guarding the key points in the position and cutting off the rear, and was also about to abandon the camp and withdraw, Sima City ordered the east gate of Yulong City to open, and the Third Guard Division brought back by Sima Yuan from Baiyang County, a total of 80,000 cavalrymen rushed out!
After only one charge, the Yulong Army cavalry penetrated the Yinming Army line that was broken. After a round-trip, they annihilated all the ten thousand Yinming Cavalry who were broken. They chased Wei Wuxie's Central Army directly to the First Guard Division. With all the advantages, they launched a large-scale siege on the 10,000 Yinming Infantry. Arrows were like rain, swords and guns were swung together, and their morale was like rainbow. The main battle was solved in less than two quarters of an hour!
Sima Cheng and the new commander of the Guards, Sima Xiangru, personally led the Guards' direct division, and the 1st Division of the Imperial Army, ignoring the unsuspecting battle, they marched and chased the two cavalry divisions.
With an extremely familiarity with the terrain of Yulong Mansion, the cavalry of the Third Guard Division and the Baiyi Special Division quickly encircled and cut off the remaining 140,000 troops of the Third Army led by Wei Wuxie from the east, south and west!
The Yinming Army launched many breakout charges, all of which were killed by the powerful impact force and flexible and effective tactics of the Jade Dragon Cavalry. Due to the lack of war horses, the ten thousand Yinming Cavalry left behind were already almost all the cavalry of the Third Legion. Losing the position to support the infantry charge alone was just a futile death!
In the dark night of more than ten feet apart, there are countless Jade Dragon Cavalry's butcher knives and spears waiting to drink the blood of Yinming Army soldiers... After nearly 20,000 casualties were unable to break through, the remaining 120,000 Yinming Army had to organize defense on the spot and send out emergency fireworks signals to wait for rescue!
Sima Cheng and Sima Xiangru led 80,000 elite troops to arrive and immediately threw themselves into the battlefield. The Yulong Cavalry, who were originally only responsible for cutting off the rear, arrived and began to attack the two wings of the Yinming Army in an organized manner, but would flee to the southern camp of the Yinming Army in the west. The Yulong Langjun Xu Shaopeng's first legion and four reserve divisions, a total of 320,000 troops, gradually gave up the road...
Attack three and let one! If it is the Jade-faced Guard, Xu Shaopeng or the son of freedom, Hua Yinghong, here, he will definitely not be moved. He will organize a formation and hold the Nandaying waiting for assistance, which is less than twenty miles away from here. He has sent 160,000 troops to come. The 40,000 vanguard cavalry will arrive soon.
If the Yin Ming Army is fighting in the vast dark night, as long as it gains strength, as long as it stands, it will be more casualties and may not have no hope of victory! But unfortunately, the blood-flying sword Wei Wuxie was the commander of the army. Unfortunately, the Third Legion was just severely damaged by the Yulong Army more than ten days ago. The newly added nearly 80,000 reserves, regardless of military discipline, overall training and individual combat power, are much worse. Therefore, under the order of Wei Wuxie, he rushed to the southwest! Afterwards, except for the 20,000 people who were cut off again, the remaining more than 100,000 people rushed out towards the gap about two miles left by the Yulong Army!
Our army has already won tonight. Although Xu Shaopeng is a wise man, how could Wei Wuxie be the leader of the army? Yinming Army regards people who do not know the soldiers as generals, just like blind people riding a fierce horse. Even if there are millions of soldiers at the deep pond in the middle of the night, how can there be invincible? Sima Cheng pointed at the battlefield in the distance with a long whip, and commented with great interest.
The prince had a brilliant plan. The three armies of our army used their lives, and it was impossible to defeat. Sima Xiangru was originally the commander of the First Division directly under the Guards. The arm that Sima Cheng relied on was the two of them at this time, plus the special banner of the Yulong Army and the fireworks signal, it was naturally possible to see that the Yinming Army on the distant battlefield had completely fallen into Sima Cheng's calculations:
When the rear was completely blocked, the soldiers of the Yinming Army were still able to fight to the death, but when they saw that there was a way to escape, the Yinming Army would of course only care about seizing the way, so where could there be morale? Although the 20,000 people who left behind were brave and fearless, how long could they resist the Jade Dragon Army? The Jade Dragon Army infantry and cavalry chased each other, and Wei Wuxie broke through the encirclement and wiped out the entire army not far away!
Protecting the King Sima Cheng asserted that this battle would be won, which is reasonable. As for the Yinming army that came to support, if it was dispersed by the defeated army... wouldn't it be exactly what Sima Cheng wants?
Ten miles southwest of Lantern Mountain, the Jade-faced Langjun Xu Shaopeng's face turned pale, and he led 40,000 cavalrymen of Yinming Army to gallop!
Xu Shaopeng didn't understand why the Third Legion was surrounded by the entire Yulong Army. Before withdrawing, he had formulated a detailed strategy. Before withdrawing the army, the commander of the Third Legion Wei Wuxie sent people to dig traps and place tripping ropes and fire-induced objects in several dangerous places where he could surround the road. He just needed thousands of cavalry and elites who were skilled in cavalry and shooting were sent to the intersection and ignite the fire behind the broken fire. The army could retreat safely to the near Nandaying and rebuild the defense line.
Could it be that Wei Wuxie was actually hiding his own slander and did not follow his orders? Thinking about the usual style of the elders of the Yinming Sect, Xu Shaopeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart
Hurry! Even if Wei Wuxie violated his orders and took it upon himself, Xu Shaopeng must rescue him. Who said he was the sworn brother of his adoptive father and the elders of the sect? Besides, that was the life of more than ten thousand Holy Sect brothers! But in this way, Xu Guangpeng's plan to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight will be disrupted!
The commander of the Wei army must be kept waiting for help! The commander of the deputy division commander of Xu Liang, who was left behind in Nandaying, should be careful to prevent the Yulong Army from rushing to the camp from the Nandamen! The commander of the Yang Shidao Army of the Second Corps of Xidaying should launch a strong attack from the West Gate to Yulong City at any cost! The commander of the commander of the Tang Tianxiao Army of the Fourth Corps should launch a strong attack on Yulong City at any cost at any cost...
While riding a horse, Xu Shaopeng's emergency response orders still fell clearly into the ears of the messenger. Fireworks signals kept rising, and dazzling light burst out in the night sky...
At this moment, the Yinming Army, who was running away three miles away, appeared in Xu Shaopeng's eyes...
Jade-faced Guard Xu Shaopengjun sat upright on the handsome chair with a little tiredness on his face, thinking about where the Yinming Army should go.
In the twenty days since the Yinming Sect's massive initiation, Xu Shaopeng has been busy with military affairs day and night, dispatching troops to leave troops to rectify military discipline and military style, and has almost never had a good sleep in the training army. Even though he is at the peak of the innate holy level, his advanced cultivation, which is almost the same as the veteran masters in the sect, cannot bear it.
Hua Yinghong's ability is really something that people can do! Xu Shaopeng has both admiration, envy, and even a little jealous of Hua Yinghong, the son of freedom who emerged from nowhere!
The nominal supreme leader of the Liberty Alliance, which started from scratch, was the former Tang Dynasty princess Liu Yufei, and there was also a meeting of the highest five people as a constraint. But in fact, the real decision-making power was all in the hands of Hua Yinghong alone. Hua Yinghong's decision was the Liberty Alliance. The Liberty Army regarded it as the final decision of the imperial edict and was prohibited. No one dared to violate the slightest violation. This is also one of the important reasons for the military myth that the Free Army is invincible!
On the other hand, Xu Shaopeng couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in his heart: Although he had the powerful Yinming Sect as a backing, he could create a huge momentum in one fell swoop. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves and controlled hundreds of large and small towns in Longshan Prefecture, Yushan Prefecture, and ShiYàn Prefecture, which occupied almost 80% of the Yulong County area and had a population of more than 12 million. However, Xu Shaopeng was also subject to the sect's elders in many matters.
Biluodao The internal affairs department headed by Xu Shan and the intelligence department had very limited support for Xu Shaopeng. They made no traces of inscrutability in military ordnance, food and grass, war horses, recruitment and training and reserves, which made him mute and eat yellow lotus, and could not say anything: in order to obtain the support of the internal affairs department, sometimes they had to compromise with Xu Shan for personnel arrangements in the army, and appoint some people with senior qualifications, high-ranking seniority but do not know how to fight and march as commanders.
Xu Shaopeng has been an orphan since he was a child. His adoptive father, Yinming Shenfu. Xu Ling accidentally discovered his talent. Not only did he accept it as his adopted son, but he also passed on his peerless martial arts. His trust and care for Xu Shaopeng made him remember his heart, and he wished he could devote himself to his work and repay him! But Xu Shan, Wei Wuxie and other veterans of the Yinming Sect may not be like this. In their hearts, the orthodox heir of the Yinming Sect is still the passionate young master Xu Xiaoyao, and Xu Shaopeng is the biggest threat!

Xu Shaopeng didn't understand why the Third Legion was surrounded by the entire Yulong Army. Before withdrawing, he had formulated a detailed strategy. Before withdrawing the army, the commander of the Third Legion Wei Wuxie sent people to dig traps and place tripping ropes and fire-induced objects in several dangerous places where he could surround the road. He just needed thousands of cavalry and elites who were skilled in cavalry and shooting were sent to the intersection and ignite the fire behind the broken fire. The army could retreat safely to the near Nandaying and rebuild the defense line.
Could it be that Wei Wuxie was actually hiding his own slander and did not follow his orders? Thinking about the usual style of the elders of the Yinming Sect, Xu Shaopeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart
Hurry! Even if Wei Wuxie violated his orders and took it upon himself, Xu Shaopeng must rescue him. Who said he was the sworn brother of his adoptive father and the elders of the sect? Besides, that was the life of more than ten thousand Holy Sect brothers! But in this way, Xu Guangpeng's plan to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight will be disrupted!
The commander of the Wei army must be kept waiting for help! The commander of the deputy division commander of Xu Liang, who was left behind in Nandaying, should be careful to prevent the Yulong Army from rushing to the camp from the Nandamen! The commander of the Yang Shidao Army of the Second Corps of Xidaying should launch a strong attack from the West Gate to Yulong City at any cost! The commander of the commander of the Tang Tianxiao Army of the Fourth Corps should launch a strong attack on Yulong City at any cost at any cost...
While riding a horse, Xu Shaopeng's emergency response orders still fell clearly into the ears of the messenger. Fireworks signals kept rising, and dazzling light burst out in the night sky...
At this moment, the Yinming Army, who was running away three miles away, appeared in Xu Shaopeng's eyes...
