One afternoon, under the wooden shed outside Xichun City, Li Ye asked Yelu Qi why the military flags on the city tower were moved.

There are clouds: the wind is moving.

There is a cloud: the flag is moving.

There are clouds: the wind moves, the flag moves.

But at this moment, the nine thousand soldiers outside Xichun City were all moved.

Nine thousand soldiers looked at the military flag slowly falling from the tower of Xichun City, and made a shocking roar.

This is the roar of victory after enduring countless days.

On the Xichun City Tower, Yelu Qi, who was moving when he heard the sound, pushed the door out, looked at the dark army outside the city, and frowned tightly. What he was worried about still happened.

The soldiers on the city picked up the military flag that fell on the ground and handed it to Yelu Qi, and said hatefully: "Your Highness, these guys are so arrogant that they dare to shoot down our military flag!"

At this moment, Wu Changtian and Lan Wudi climbed up the city tower and looked at the army outside the city. The battle-prone General Lan also frowned.

Looking at Yelu Qi, he asked, "Your Highness, do these soldiers in the southern border want to attack the city?"

Looking at Lan Wudi who was coming, Yelu Qi shook his head and said, "They want to stop us from reinforcement of Kaiyang City!" After that, he handed him the letter brought by Kaiyang City Hai Dongqing.

Lan Wudi called a letter and cursed while reading: "Is this general of Jiankun Royal Court a pig's brain? Just keep guarding the city and not leaving. Isn't it easy for everyone to write to help?

Yelu Qi looked at him and smiled bitterly, saying, "This Zhize Pingming is not the fool of Yue Tianlang. This time, the soldiers and horses in the southern border have deployed heavy weapons, and even the city gate is almost broken.

"How terrifying is this? Where did they get the heavy weapons? It's so incredible!" Lan Wudi said in a daze at him.

"They can't help but not fight, and they can't help but ask for help. If it were General Lan and I, I probably don't know what to do."

Yelu Qi looked outside the city and frowned tightly.

Lan Wudi was stunned, then pointed outside the city and asked, "Then how do we face the current situation? They clearly came to Xichun to block us."

Yelu Qi lowered his head, pondered and silent. Listening to the shocking war drums outside the city, he didn't know how many horses the other party had come.

It was his inner thought to preserve his strength, but once he lost Kaiyang, he would no longer have to fight this war.

If one of the three towns is gone, both sides will face an offensive and defensive battle. Such a war before was a piece of cake for him.

But after these two days of chaos, he realized that Li Ye, who came from Prajna Temple, was not an easy guy to deal with.

In his opinion, whether he fights by himself or not, his side will definitely lose in this game, but it just depends on the final price.

"What are the general's plans? Let's talk about it, let's find a way to face the current crisis together." Yelu Qi said softly.

Lan Wudi looked outside the city without saying a word. After a while, he replied: "You can't rush hard, that's just a life-threatening death! You can consider using a shield formation in front to open the way, and infantry follow behind, and don't use cavalry, which will make you waver, and you'll be living targets that will make people shoot!"

After listening to Wu Changtian's report, he understood the terribleness of the weapons of soldiers in southern Xinjiang and made him make him make a cautious decision.

After hearing this, Yelu Qi's eyes lit up and he yelled: "This method is good. As long as they cannot break our shield formation and our soldiers are not right away, they will lose the goal they will surely win. Once they get close, we will have an absolute advantage to win this big battle!"

Lan Wudi nodded and replied: "That's the reason. Without understanding the opponent's strength, we cannot fight against them."

Wu Changtian also said, "As long as their arrows cannot hit us, our army will suppress them, and they can be eliminated. How many soldiers can they send out in this wind and snowy day? Even if they supply food and grass, they will not be able to keep up."

"Yes, as long as we avoid the other party's arrow rain and fight next time, I believe they can't beat us." Lan Wudi was full of confidence in his men.

Yelu Qi looked at Lan Wudi, and the two communicated for a moment, and then Yelu Qi issued an order.

"The order was sent to Wu Changtian and General Yelu Fengyun led 20,000 soldiers out of the city, and the shield formation opened the way in front, followed by the remaining infantry. All soldiers were not allowed to be cavalry, and they were replaced by infantry combat."

Wu Changyun and Yelu Fengyun took the order and left.

Yelu Qi looked at the army outside the city, gradually lowered his frowns, and then frowned tightly.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Lan Wudi and said, "General Lan, please gather 10,000 iron cavalry and follow 20,000 infantry to leave the city. If the enemy launches a cavalry charge, our side will immediately attack and siege the enemy army outside Xichun City!"

Lan Wudi was stunned when she heard this, then she came over and slapped her hands and exclaimed: "Your Highness is still thoughtful. We not only need to keep our strength, but also guard against the enemy's sudden charge! I will gather troops and will not let them succeed!"

After saying that, he shouted to the messenger: "Order General Lan Feng to gather ten thousand iron cavalry and stand by under the city wall."

......

Outside Xichun City, Li Ye couldn't help laughing at the slowly opened city gate and the grassland tribes that were fully equipped with it.

He said to the generals such as Long Potian and Ma Tianyun: "Yelu Qi is indeed smarter than the guards of Xiaguan. He knew that the cavalry had a larger target, so he actually changed to a shield formation to open the way, and the infantry attacked."

"Do you want to send cavalry to charge and kill their morale?" Long Potian asked in a voice in his voice, looking at the direction of the city gate.

"No hurry. If we send out cavalry and hit their minds, I won't do this." Looking at Xichun City Tower, Li Ye said quietly: "I ordered the original five thousand soldiers to light the rockets and fire the moat!"

"The order for the original five thousand soldiers to light the rockets and fire the moat!"

"The order for the original five thousand soldiers to light the rockets and fire the moat!"

As soon as the call of the messenger fell, the five soldiers who had already prepared were lit up the sulphurs on the arrow.

Under the command of the flag bearer, five thousand rockets flew into the moat outside Xichun City like moths.

The use of sparks is no longer enough to describe the five thousand rockets flying in the air. They should be ignited with a raging fire!

Before the soldiers gathered outside Xichun City could react, Xichun's moat made a sound of "boom! Boom!!", which was earth-shaking.

In an instant, the entire moat was ignited by five thousand rockets, and the five-meter-wide moat instantly turned into a five-meter-wide sea of ​​fire, burning wildly!

In the middle of the night, Ma Tianyun, following Li Ye's order, poured thousands of barrels of tinea oil and countless hay and pine branches into Xichun's moat, which played a huge role at this moment!

Outside Xichun City, a sea of ​​fire became a sea of ​​fire in an instant!

Amid the whistling north wind, the raging fire is getting stronger and stronger, and it is very likely to burn in the sky!

Yelu Qi, Yelu Yan and Lan Wudi, standing on the city tower, were stunned for a moment.

They made great calculations, but they didn't expect Li Ye to have a fire attack to block their attack.

Wu Changtian and Yelu Fengyun led 20,000 soldiers to gather at the city gate. They were preparing to open the shield formation and cross the moat that had frozen into ice.

Unexpectedly, a rain of arrows on the opposite side blew the pine branches and hay in the river, and tinder oil helped to burn it. No one dared to cross the five-meter-wide fire wall.

Wu Changtian and Yelu Fengyun looked up at Yelu Qi and Lan Wudi on the city tower, but they saw that they shook their heads, unable to come up with any way.

Use water to extinguish it? In this cold weather, where can I find so much water? Even if I find water, what if I find it? There is still a lot of tinea oil under the pine branches, which is the result of the water getting stronger and stronger.

Let the army use snow to extinguish the fire, and the turbulent oil in the entire moat is connected. As the fire grows bigger and bigger, the ice in the moat gradually melts, and the army steps forward and is the result of being grilled by the turbulent oil.

Yelu Qi and Lan Wudi, standing on the city tower, were thinking about it, but they couldn't think of a solution.

Seeing that time passed little by little, Yelu Qi couldn't help but sigh: "This guy actually killed me!"

In the past, the moat that seemed like a barrier had become a barrier that the army could not cross when it left the city, leaving the two generals with no worries.

Yelu Yan looked at the fire under the city and pointed at the outside of the city in anger and cursed: "Li Ye Xiaozi, you are too cruel!"

Yelu Qi looked at her business and smiled bitterly: "Sister, no matter how angry you are, he can't hear it, let alone if he is here? Maybe he has already gone to Kaiyang."

Yelu Yan turned her head and looked at him, gritting her teeth and said, "I have a feeling that the little thief is outside. If you don't believe me, please let me go out alone. I will scold him to death. Can he still dare to bully me a girl?"

Yelu Qi was stunned and shook his head and said, "At this time, don't cause trouble for me!"

The 20,000 army actually guarded a wall of fire and advanced and retreated.

......

Long Potian looked at the firelights in the sky under Xichun City and couldn't help asking: "National Master, this is over? There is no need to fight this battle?"

Mu Mu was so angry that he jumped, holding an iron bow and shouted: "I just shot an arrow, and that's all?"

Li Ye looked at the two of them and smiled faintly: "The main battlefield is Kaiyang. We are just blocking Yelu Qi here and not allowing him to send troops to Kaiyang. If he can't come out, we will win. What else can we fight?"

"Would you like to bring some troops to Kaiyang?" Ma Tianyun withdrew his gaze and asked at Li Ye.

"No! The war in Kaiyang is only about two to three hours at most. When you lead the troops there, the food will be cold! Wait a little longer. After the fire is extinguished, if they leave the city, we will shoot the bamboo arrows in our hands for two rounds."

"Don't worry, the national master, everyone is holding their breath. They will definitely ejaculate hard and will not let them go!" Ma Tianyun smiled excitedly at Li Ye.

"If we don't leave, we will retreat and meet with the Grand Marshal." Li Ye thought for a while and said.

This is the world as people wish. The already calm southern border has blew again. No matter where the wind blows, it is the result that Li Ye wants.

As long as the fire in this moat is not extinguished, Xichun's cavalry cannot come out, and this battle will be won.

In Li Ye's opinion, since it is not yet time for a decisive battle, it is a good thing to avoid casualties. If you can fight head-on, you should not fight.

"It's so boring to follow my brother. I would have gone to Kaiyang if I had known it!" Mu Mu shouted from the side.

"You shot and killed the guards of Xiaguan yesterday. When you return to Nanyun City, you can remember your merits!" Li Ye patted her shoulder and comforted her.

Long Potian, Ma Tianyun and others were shocked and looked at Mu Mu incredible. Jiang Huo couldn't help but ask, "Is this true for the National Master? Your sister is too scary!"

Li Ye looked at everyone in a daze and pointed at Zhu Tianhu and said, "General Zhu knew about this. Yesterday, he wanted to stab the guard general at Xiaguan and borrow some arrows. Unexpectedly, he gave Mu Mu an arrow, and his life would be difficult to save."

Mu Mu gave him a blank look and said, "Is this over?"

Li Ye ignored him and just looked in the direction of Kaiyang and said quietly: "At this time, General Ma Feihu from Kaiyang should be burning the city and siege outside the city!"

A big battle has just begun!
Chapter completed!
