My wife is the Daxia Empress

Chapter 257 Divide the troops, Chang Yuchun fights Yang Zaixing again

"It can't be done, more than half of our [-] soldiers and horses have been lost now, and most of the remaining soldiers are also injured. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid they will all die here!"

Yang Zaixing was drenched in blood, walked into the camp with a tired face, casually threw the spear in his hand aside, squatted down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Over there, is there no news yet?"

Yang Zaixing lowered his head, looked at the ground, and spoke weakly.

Blood and sweat were mixed together, all dripping on the ground.

Originally, the order they received was to hold on for a month, but now, after only half a month, they couldn't hold on any longer!
There is no way, the Ming army's offensive is too violent.

Whether it's generals or the number of soldiers and horses, Daxia's side does not have an advantage.

If it is about fighting alone, Li Cunxiao and Yang Zaixing are naturally not afraid of anyone in the Ming army, but on the battlefield, there are not so many rules to speak of.

Everything is based on victory!

No one will really only fight with you.

It is common for many generals to fight with one person.

In the Ming army, generals emerged one after another, leading the charge one after another, while on Daxia's side, only Li Cunxiao and Yang Zaixing persisted.

The physical functions of the two of them have already been overloaded.

At this time, the two of them were all supported by a belief.

As for how long it can last, no one can say.

That's why Yang Zaixing was very eager to know what was going on with Lu Yu.

"You came back just in time. My lord sent a letter just now, ordering us to evacuate slowly, so that we don't have to entangle the Ming army head-on. We just need to delay their progress along the way."

With a smile on his face, Li Cunxiao walked to Yang Zaixing's side, and handed him the letter in his hand.

Yang Zaixing took the letter over, browsed it carefully, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

His expression relaxed.

"Finally we can leave this ghost place!"

Yang Zaixing let out a long breath of relief.

This battlefield has already become a meat grinder at this moment. Countless soldiers died on this battlefield.
The surface of the ground has been dyed bright red, and countless corpses are lying on the battlefield, and it is still too late to bury them.

The stench soared to the sky, making people sick in their stomachs!

"It's strange, why didn't this letter say anything about the specific situation over there, so now, has the capital of the Great Song Dynasty been captured, or has it not been captured?"

Yang Zaixing read the letter again, frowning.

"I don't know, but we don't have to care about it. We just need to execute the order. This place really can't stay any longer."

Li Cunxiao shook his head, even he couldn't hold on any longer.

After receiving the order, Li Cunxiao and Yang Zaixing barely stopped, issued orders directly, deployed troops and horses, and began to retreat.

And Xu Da and Chang Yuchun also got the news immediately.

The two looked at each other, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Song is broken!"

The two blurted out at the same time.

Afterwards, the faces of both of them were a little heavy, and a dignified breath wafted around them.

"How to do?"

Chang Yuchun asked.

"What else can I do, chase!"

No matter what, Daming must not surrender this Qingzhou to others!

You know, this place is of great significance to Daming.

Today's Ming Dynasty is sitting on the three prefectures of Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou. If Qingzhou can be conquered again, by then, Daming occupying the four prefectures will become the number one overlord in the world!
none of them!

Whether it is resources, population, or generals, is there any dynasty that can compare with Ming?

However, if Qingzhou falls into the hands of Daxia, the situation will be very delicate.

One is ebbing and the other is ebbing and flowing, Daxia occupying Qingzhou will take advantage of the trend and become a rare power in the world.

As for Da Ming, he was about to be caught in the middle of such a Great Xia and Datang, and the situation was very bad.

Therefore, no matter what, Qingzhou cannot be lost!

"That's right, the soldiers under Li Cunxiao and Yang Zaixing are all remnants, and they are exhausted, so they must not be moving fast. Let's hunt them down and eat them all!

Without these soldiers and horses, how can Daxia compete with us for Qingzhou? "

Chang Yuchun uttered a stern voice, and as he spoke, an extremely terrifying aura emanated from his body.

In the pitch-black pupils, there is endless murderous intent.

The troops of Da Xia and Ming were not at the same level. If the troops in Li Cunxiao's hands were damaged, Da Xia's troops would be even fewer!
At that time, even if Daxia has the advantage of defending the city, he will definitely not be an opponent of Daming!
Qingzhou is at your fingertips.

"Even if we can't eat it, we have to attack now and fight Da Xia."

Xu Da also spoke in a deep voice.

Even if Li Cunxiao's troops cannot be wiped out, this time is definitely a good time for a decisive battle with Daxia.

Whether it's Lu Yu's men or Li Cunxiao's men, they all just went through a fierce battle and didn't have time to rest.

Moreover, the two armies have not yet met.

At this time, if they don't attack, do they have to wait for their soldiers and horses to reconcile, and then attack after resting?
That was a joke.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun would not do this.

After the two men rectified their troops, they rushed towards the direction where Li Cunxiao and Yang Zaixing were withdrawing their troops.

However, when Li Cunxiao withdrew his troops, he set up many traps, and even sent teams of Qingqi to harass them.

This greatly slowed down the march of the Ming army.

"Damn it, this Li Cunxiao actually set up so many traps."

Xu Da looked sullen and let out a loud drink.

He really couldn't figure out how Li Cunxiao managed to do so many things in such a short period of time.

"No, if we go at our speed, I'm afraid it won't have any effect."

Chang Yuchun was very calm and spoke in a deep voice.

Originally, they wanted to put pressure on Li Cunxiao, and even wipe out Li Cunxiao's army, but judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the plan has failed.

If they continue to march like this, they will not take advantage of it.

In the end, I am afraid that they will be in a stalemate with Daxia's soldiers and horses again.

"How about... Let's divide our troops, you go to attack Mengyin City Pass, I go to attack the main force of Daxia. In this way, as long as one of us wins the battle, the situation will be tilted towards us."

"Divide the troops."

Chang Yuchun was silent, thinking about it.

If the troops are divided, it will indeed be able to put pressure on Daxia on both sides.

But at the same time, on the frontal battlefield, their advantage in strength has also been reduced.

Originally, they could directly press 30 troops on Lu Yu's face, making him breathless.

Once the troops are divided, the pressure on Lu Yu from the front will naturally be reduced.

So, there are pros and cons.

"Okay, let's do that."

After thinking about it for a while, Chang Yuchun still felt that it would be better to divide the troops.

Even if the troops are divided, they still have the advantage on the frontal battlefield!

After the two agreed, they immediately divided the troops. Chang Yuchun led 20 troops to attack Mengyin City Pass, Xu Da led [-] troops, continued to chase and kill Li Cunxiao, and then sought a decisive battle with Lu Yu!
"Report~"

Li Cunxiao and Yang Zaixing, who were retreating, looked relaxed.

Although they were withdrawing troops urgently, this was a rare leisure for the two of them for several days.

Before that, they were worried every day. They had to fight bloody battles during the day and guard against sneak attacks by the Ming army at night. It can be said that they were physically and mentally exhausted.

Now, just withdrawing troops is absolutely extremely easy.

However, at this moment, an urgent call came.

"what happened?"

Li Cunxiao's originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense again, staring at the scout with scorching eyes, and let out a cold drink.

"General, the Ming army is splitting up. A group of soldiers and horses are heading south, and a group of soldiers and horses are continuing to march toward us!"

The soldier said out of breath.

His lips were cracked and his mouth parched.

In order to send this information in time, he didn't even take a break along the way!
"Go down and rest first."

Li Cunxiao waved his hand, and then took a map.

"South, if you go south from here."

Li Cunxiao searched carefully on the map, and suddenly became nervous.

"The south is the direction of Mengyin City Pass. If I remember correctly, the lord left five thousand soldiers and horses there, but"

After speaking, Li Cunxiao turned his head and glanced at Yang Zaixing, the two of them agreed.

Now that the Ming army divides its forces to attack Mengyin, five thousand soldiers and horses must not be enough on Mengyin's side.

"I'll lead my troops there, Mengyin City Pass, I must not lose it!"

Yang Zaixing spoke directly.

If Mengyin is lost, then the Ming army can directly lead troops to attack the hinterland of Qingzhou, whether it is going south or east, it is very easy.

It's just that Li Cunxiao didn't reply immediately.Instead, he frowned, thinking in his mind.

"What are you waiting for? Five thousand soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to defend Mengyin. If you go back and report and then send troops, the day lily will be cold."

Yang Zaixing looked anxious.

Although, originally he was exhausted, but in this situation, his expression became extremely hale and hearty.

"I know, just."

Li Cunxiao hesitated.

"Just what?"

"It's just that we don't have many troops available right now. One reason is that we have fought hard for more than ten days and suffered heavy casualties. The battalion is now full of wounded soldiers, and the soldiers are all exhausted. There are not many capable troops that can be mobilized." .

The other one, Mengyin's side, will definitely not become the main battlefield, and the main battlefield will definitely be with the lord.

But you also know that our Great Xia doesn't have many soldiers and horses, not comparable to that of Ming Dynasty. Therefore, these soldiers and horses under our command must join the main battlefield. "

Hearing Li Cunxiao's words, Yang Zaixing also became silent.

Li Cunxiao's words have been made very obvious, Mengyin naturally wants to save, but he can't send many soldiers!
"I led [-] light cavalry and rushed to the rescue. With the original [-] soldiers and horses in the city, I should be able to hold on for a while."

Yang Zaixing gritted his teeth and spoke out with difficulty.

It takes great determination for him to say such words.

Seven thousand soldiers and horses, to be honest, what can they do?

If Ming Dynasty divides its troops, it will be at least [-] soldiers and horses, and may even be more.

But there is no way, the current situation is like this, Daxia's military strength is indeed somewhat stretched.

He glanced at Yang Zaixing in surprise, then Li Cunxiao nodded, "Okay, you lead two thousand troops there first, and when you get back to the lord, the lord must make a decision!"

Yang Zaixing solemnly clasped his fists towards Li Cunxiao, and then led the troops away.

"boom!"

In front of Mengyin City Pass.

The tens of thousands of troops stopped at the gate, in uniform.

At the forefront of this army, thousands of elite infantry smashed the heavy shields in their hands to the ground, and in an instant, there was a terrifying loud noise as if the sky was falling apart!

Because he had to carry infantry and siege equipment, although Chang Yuchun set off before Yang Zaixing, he arrived quite a bit later than Yang Zaixing.

Scanning the well-trained army below the city, Yang Zaixing's expression became extremely serious.

Just judging from the number of soldiers and horses in the distance, Daming's army was at least [-] to [-], which inevitably made Yang Zaixing frown.

Seven thousand versus seventy thousand?
This is not a level of confrontation at all.

Moreover, Mengyin's checkpoint is not strong, it is not the kind of city that can hold on for half a year without moving.

Therefore, now he must do everything possible to delay the time.

"Yang Zaixing?"

When Chang Yuchun saw Yang Zaixing on the city wall, his expression changed slightly. He didn't expect their movements to be so fast.

He directly ordered Yang Zaixing to come over and guard the city.

"Don't be in a hurry to attack the city, listen to my orders."

Chang Yuchun stopped the crowd who were already ready to move, and then, riding out alone, the spear in his hand was raised high, and pointed at Yang Zaixing.

"General Yang, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Chang Yuchun said with a half-smile.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Yang Zaixing muttered.

Then he answered loudly.

Chang Yuchun didn't attack the city, which was exactly what he wanted, if he could delay for a moment, let's delay for a moment.

"General Yang, after so many days of continuous fighting, there is still no winner between you and me, which makes me very regretful. See you today, why don't you and I have a good fight?"

While speaking, Chang Yuchun's cold eyes scanned the city wall.

He came out to invite the battle, one reason was that he was not sure how many soldiers and horses there were in the city, and he didn't want to attack rashly like this.

The other one also took a deep breath in his heart.

He and Yang Zaixing fought several times, but there was no victory or defeat. Every time they ended without a problem, which inevitably became his regret.

"it is good!"

After hearing Chang Yuchun's words, Yang Zaixing's expression brightened, which was exactly what he wanted!

It is a good thing to be able to spend a few more days in the siege of the Ming Dynasty!
At this moment, Yang Zaixing only hoped that on the frontal battlefield, the winner could be determined as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, Yang Zaixing was also a little depressed. This kind of battle with unequal forces was really aggrieved!
