Chapter 646 The war begins, the famous general of Xiling (2)
"Mo Xiuyao! What a Mo Xiuyao..." Lei Zhenting said gritted his teeth.
"Prince, are we just like this..." The generals below said indignantly. What's the matter? Let Xiling be attacked and continue to attack Da Chu? This is obviously impossible. But just giving up the territory that Da Chu has already obtained and going back? How can they be content with this?
Someone hesitated: "The prince guarding the imperial city may be able to block the attack of the Mo family army. We will distribute some of the troops to go back to reinforce..." In the end, he was a little depressed and lost his voice. Although their troops were far better than the Mo family army, if they were distributing half of them, they would have to pass the blockade of 400,000 Mo family army. Then they could face the elite of Shang Mo Xiuyao. At this time, there would be no mention of how many people there could be left. It is already worrying to just talk about how much effect the remaining people could have on Shang Mo Xiuyao's army.
After a long time of silence in the room, Lei Zhenting's voice sounded, "Deputy General, I will leave you 300,000 people. Continue to attack Dongchu, don't advance aggressively."
The middle-aged man who sat in the army with the help of the enemy was also Lei Zhenting's confidant stood up and said aloud: "Sir, please don't worry, the prince." Lei Zhenting nodded and said: "I will lead the rest of the people to set off as fast as possible and return to Xiling. I hope it will be too late..."
Everyone wanted to comfort the prince without being too careful. Mo Xiuyao would not be able to reach Xiling Imperial City in just over ten days. But looking at his prince's tired expression, he could not say anything about comfort. Lei Zhenting waved his hand and said, "You all retreat."
"The subordinates took their leave." The generals retreated respectfully. Lei Zhenting sat alone under the dark lamp in the empty room. After a long time, he waved his hand and swept all the files and tea cups on the table to the ground, "Mo Xiuyao!"
As Lei Zhenting expected, the worst result, or the Mo family army repeated the scene when Xiling attacked Da Chu several years ago. The road was unstoppable. In just half a month, 400,000 Mo family troops had already captured four cities in Xiling and advanced to Biancheng in the hinterland of Xiling. This is the second only city in Xiling after Xiling Imperial City, and its prosperity is even above Ancheng, which was originally occupied by the Murong family. Because this is the only way for the countries in the Western Regions to go to Licheng and even to the Central Plains. The lively and prosperous level here is naturally self-evident. More importantly, although Xiling is vast, most areas are not suitable for growing grain. Half of the remaining places for producing grain are near Biancheng. It is also located in Longshan Academy, one of the three major academies in the world and the Lishan Academy. It is located on Longshan in the east of Biancheng.
Such an important place is naturally no better than other places. When the Mo family army arrived here, Lei Tengfeng, who was originally in charge of the imperial city, also led an army of 300,000 to Biancheng. So the two armies really confronted each other in Biancheng for the first time. The previous few battles could only be regarded as unilateral crushing by the Mo family army. Lei Tengfeng led his troops to Biancheng and was so tired that he was very tired. The Mo family army fought and marched continuously for more than 20 days, and was also very tired when he arrived here. So Mo Xiuyao ordered camp outside Biancheng to rest for a while before starting to attack the city.
In the Mo family's tent, all the generals looked full of energy. The successive victory made them excited and they felt a little more unfulfilled. Therefore, when Mo Xiuyao ordered the suspension of the siege in the city, many people couldn't help but come and ask for the battle.
Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li sat side by side on the main seat of the big tent, leaning against the armrest on one side, looking at the people who had quarreled for whom they had siege. Feng Zhiyao lazily sank in the chair, smilingly watching them quarrel, and slid his ears and looked at Mo Xiuyao and said, "Prince, you'd better say something, otherwise you'll really fight." Hearing this, everyone in the quarrel stopped immediately, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Mo Xiuyao in unison.
Mo Xiuyao said slowly: "Didn't this king say? Set up camp and rest. Go to attack the city tomorrow."
Yun Ting said in confusion: "But Prince, Lei Tengfeng's 300,000 reinforcements have arrived. Shouldn't we catch them off guard while they are tired?"
Mo Xiuyao glanced at him sideways and said lightly: "He is tired of people, we are even harder than them. Do you think we have fought too smoothly throughout the journey, so Xiling is really vulnerable. Don't forget that in the past ten or twenty years, Xiling and Dachu have always been at the forefront of Xiling."
Isn’t that because our Mo family army did not participate in the war? Someone murmured in his heart.
Mo Xiuyao said carelessly: "The reason why we have won so smoothly these days is because Lei Zhenting pulled away most of the elites to attack Da Chu. It is because we were surprised and they had no time to react. Although Xiling often invaded other people's borders, their local area has not fought for many years. Their weaknesses are very similar to the Mo family army. They are good at attacking but not good at defending. I can tell you very seriously that our battle will only really start from Biancheng."
Lu Jinxian frowned and said, "The prince is too proud of Lei Tengfeng."
"The prince is not raising Lei Tengfeng." Ye Li, who had been listening to their speech silently, said: "Biancheng is the largest city in Xiling except the imperial city. It can be said that this is the real hidden dragon and creeping tiger."
Hiding dragons and lying tigers? Everyone looked at each other. They had never heard of any important figures in Xiling.
Ye Li shook her head with a smile and said, "There are three famous generals before the King of Zhennan in Xiling. Who has heard of you here?"
All the generals present were all military generals, and they naturally knew these things. Yun Ting said in a deep voice: "Report to the Princess, the three famous generals in Xiling refer to the General Long Yang of Fengtian in Xiling, the General Zhu Yan of Jingtian in Xiling, and the General Feng Ao of Shuntian in Xiling. These three people are said to be the young friends of the former emperor of Xiling, Emperor Xuanwen. After Emperor Xuanwen ascended the throne, he expanded his territory and fought in all directions. During the reign of Emperor Xuanwen, the territory of Xiling expanded westward to the west.
It was nearly one-third of the original territory. However, among the three, Zhu Yan, only one of the three, had fought with the Tai King, one draw and one defeat. The other two were always in the west and the north. After the Xiling Emperor ascended the throne, he was under his control by his younger brother Zhennan. However, these three generals were loyal to Emperor Xuanwen and the Xiling Emperor chosen by Emperor Xuanwen, so they were incompatible with King Zhennan. They were successively deposed by King Zhennan. This was already... twenty years ago."
The others also nodded one after another, and what they knew was most consistent with what Yun Ting said. The youngest of the three generals should be seventy years old. I don’t know if they are still alive, and even if they are still there, they will never be able to go to the battlefield to fight again.
Ye Li smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, two of these three generals are now in Biancheng. General Fengtian Long Yang and General Jingtian Zhu Yan."
