"Mr. Yiyang, come and take a look. We are discussing how to deal with the Jiang family next."

Yiyang walked over and took a look at the sand table. His heart felt heavy, and his hand holding the feather fan tightened a little.

Have the Jiang family reached outside Zhoubaozhuang?

How could it be so fast?

What do these people staying in Shangjing do for food?

"Who is the commander in charge of defending the city?"

Yiyang's face was extremely dark, and it was not difficult to see how angry he was now.

Everyone who had been smiling just now had stiff smiles on their faces and turned their heads away with guilty expressions, shirking responsibility among each other.

King Kang looked puzzled and explained: "The guard is Xue Caijun. What's wrong with Yiyang?"

Xue Caijun's father and brother are both great generals. He also has martial arts skills and is loyal. He should be able to handle it if he is asked to defend the state, right?

After being asked this question by Yiyang, King Kang also began to fall into self-doubt.

"Yiyang, is there something wrong with this Xue Caijun?"

Yiyang sighed and shook his head: "Xue Caijun is naturally loyal, but he is not strong enough to defend the city. He has a radical personality and is easily angered."

King Kang pursed his lips and said nothing. Yiyang was right and called for help immediately.

Yiyang raised his hand to stop: "Your Majesty, it is taboo to change generals before battle."

"Then...what should we do?"

Zhoubaozhuang cannot be lost. Once lost, Shangjing City will really become a turtle in the urn.

Yiyang approached the sand table and took a look. His eyes were fixed on every part of the sand table, and every plan was born in his mind.

"I will personally go to Zhoubaozhuang and ask the emperor to give me a token to mobilize troops."

King Kang did not doubt that he was there, so he immediately asked someone to get the token and hand it over to Yiyang.

And held his hand tightly: "Yiyang, you just rushed back from Nanzhou City, but you have encountered this critical moment. Please go to Zhoubaozhuang. From now on, all the generals will only listen to you."

Dispatch."

"I thank Your Majesty for your trust. I dare not betray Your Majesty's great trust. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, I will set off for Zhoubaozhuang."

King Kang nodded. Yiyang's return had already calmed his throat a lot.

…

"General, traces of enemy troops were found outside the city."

Mo Wentong was in the camp, and through cooperation with Mo Youlan, he spread a lot of grain on the road, deliberately concealing the truth and transferring the grain to a nearby small village.

"Everything went according to plan." Mo Wentong said.

On the seventh day of July, before dawn, Mo Wentong led 5,000 elite troops to attack Qian City.

Mo Youlan led 2,500 people and secretly ambush on the road, waiting to attack Yiguang's reinforcements.

The entire central and southern regions were in chaos. Because of Mo Youlan's arrival, war broke out in Qingzhou in advance.

Over in Huangzhou, Rong Zhao, with the cooperation of He Shoutang, attacked General Ren, taking this opportunity to capture the entire southern region.

"General, the people of the Mo Family Army have really moved. They have already headed to Qiancheng. There is news from Qingzhou, asking us to take this opportunity to attack the rear of the Mo Family Army and burn their food and grass."

Yiguang still had some doubts in his heart, but he received a letter from Shangjing this morning, asking him to resolve the war in Qingzhou as soon as possible. He could not delay going to Beijing any longer.

If Qingzhou were to break such a crucial node, it would be extremely detrimental to Beijing.

"Guo Fujiang, you lead 5,000 elite troops to support Qian City and intercept and kill Mo Wentong. I will lead 3,000 troops to attack the Mo family camp. Remember not to be reluctant to fight. You only need to allow the other side to lose some of their troops."

The real main battlefield is in the hidden city.

As long as the food and grass were burned, Mo Wentong would definitely get into chaos and flee in panic.

At that time, Guo Fujiang's ambush on the road can intercept and kill Mo Wentong, leaving him unable to retreat.

On the seventh day of July, the people led by Mo Youlan were lying in wait on the road and saw several troops of Yiguang's army heading towards Qiancheng.

According to rough statistics, there were nearly 5,000 people.

It seemed that they planned to intercept and kill Mo's army on the road, and those guarding the city were Yi Guang and the Lin family from Qingzhou.

She stood up and glanced at the moonlight. The moon tonight was covered with a layer of white gauze, making it difficult to see its true appearance. It was a good time for a sneak attack.

From a distance, she could see the fire blazing into the sky where the grain and grass were stored, and Mo Youlan knew that her opportunity had come.

"Sneak attack on Yi Guang's granary."

With a sweet shout, she rode on horseback and raised her gun. After a military order, the female soldiers around her mounted their horses one after another, holding special firearms in their hands. They followed her and rushed out of the forest.

The people in Yiguang's camp were killed by surprise.

The women's army appeared out of nowhere, and the thing in their hands was really weird. Before they could react, a bloody hole appeared in their chests.

Kill people and burn food.

Mo Youlan didn't stop for long, and immediately led the people back the way they came, and continued to ambush on the way here.

He rushed into the Mo family's camp, thinking that he had burned down the food and grass, but when he turned around, he found that the dark night behind was illuminated by the same fire as if it were day.

"No, I fell into a trap!"

He couldn't care less and immediately ordered people to return.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, nearly 2,500 people appeared in the Mo family's tent, holding strange weapons in their hands and shooting randomly.

People around him fell one after another, and even Yi Guang injured his shoulder in order to avoid it.

After a fight, Yi Guang escaped with only 2,000 remaining people and rushed back without stopping.

Without warning, the horse's hooves seemed to have been chopped off with a sharp weapon, and men with weapons similar to those of the Mo's Army appeared on both sides, shooting at them again indiscriminately.

The hit caught them off guard.

Yi Guang was the first to react, and without saying a word, he immediately shouted and fled.

Seeing Yi Guang fleeing in panic, Mo Youlan had no intention of pursuing him and asked everyone to get on their horses and head to the hidden city to support him.

Yi Guang fled back to the camp in despair, where he saw flames rising into the sky and wounded people everywhere.

His resolute face was illuminated by the fire, and the light and shadow were mottled.

"These Nanzhou soldiers are so weird. What kind of artifact are the weapons in their hands?"

No matter how powerful he is in martial arts, he still can't get close.

"Immediately send a letter to Mr. Yiyang, saying that the weapons in the hands of the Nanzhou soldiers are weird and asking him to be more careful."

He mounted his horse again: "Everyone will go with me to support Qian City."

Qiancheng was in danger, and he didn't know for a moment what the outcome would be.

I don’t know if Mr. Yiyang can reverse Shangjing’s predicament.

The road ahead is uncertain, and Yi Guang will die on the battlefield even if he dies.

The fighting on Qingzhou's side was fierce, but there was no suspense on Old General Ren's side. Not only did they wait for reinforcements from Huangzhou, but they also ran out of food and grass.

The soldiers in the city looked disheartened and could not cheer up.

People were panicked and wanted to surrender.

"Everyone, you must believe in the old general. The old general will definitely come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy. Moreover, the food and grass are already on the way, so we can hold on."

"General, you have said this more than once."

Shi Xiaobing was squatting on the city wall with a pale face.

He tightened his belt again: "You always ask us to endure it, but... we have been hungry for more than a day or two. We only have a bowl of porridge and water every day, and it's gone after we pee. We don't have any strength in our body, what can we do with it?"
