The time goes back to early November.

Weizhou, Suihua City.

The city wall was in dilapidated condition, with gaps everywhere caused by thunderbolt cannons. A section of the city wall near the west gate had completely collapsed. The defenders demolished the houses in the city, took out the beams and nailed them together, and took out the collapsed city wall in the middle.

The soil, city bricks, and gravel filled it, forming a U-shaped structure behind the collapsed city wall, sealing the gap tightly. This place became the focus of the two sides' competition.

Three days ago, when Xiongkuohai retreated to Suihua, the first people to react were the private troops of the Cao family who were ambushing around Weizhou City, preparing to encircle Xiongkuohai.

The leader of the Cao family is Cao Ning, the fierce general of the Cao family. The 5,000 Cao family's private army is the best in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness. These private armies of the Cao family are not ordinary families.

The private army is comparable. The leaders of the army are all retired officers from the Guard. From senior generals to junior officers, they have basically had the experience of serving in the Guard. The Cao family's private army is supported by these people.

Its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

As the leading general of the Cao family, Cao Ning is one of the core figures of the Cao family. He knows very well that if Xiongkuohai is allowed to stay in Suihua for a long time, the world will be shaken, which will be greatly detrimental to his chief minister.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Ning arrived at Suihua City, he immediately launched an attack. He wanted to take advantage of the unstable sea and capture Suihua in one fell swoop -

Cao Ning did not think about preserving his own strength, because he knew that no matter how much the losses of Cao's private army were, the chief assistant would be able to quickly replenish them. And now, for the chief assistant, the most important thing is to destroy Xiong.

Broad sea.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, Cao's private army lost more than half of its troops. They broke into the city defense many times and destroyed a section of the city wall with thunderbolt cannons, but he still failed.

Staring with blood-red eyes, Cao Ning looked helplessly at the majestic flag still flying above the Suihua city tower. Within a short time, he could no longer launch an attack. And the follow-up private armies of the family had not arrived yet.

, he watched helplessly as Suihua's enemies sealed the gap he had opened with countless efforts and countless lives.

Cao Ning can't complain about other private armies. As for the mobility of the army, other armies cannot compare with Cao's private army. Maybe he is too impatient. He should wait until other armies are gathered to launch an attack together. Maybe he can succeed in one fell swoop.

.

But there is no regret in this world. At this time, Cao Ning had no other choice but to blame himself. He mistakenly underestimated the enemy's combat effectiveness and overestimated the ability of his own soldiers.

There are more than 50,000 troops from the Weizhou Town Army and other aristocratic families in total, but with so many troops being used to fight Suihua, this matter cannot be hidden after all. The internal fighting in the imperial court will be exposed to the world. And they are watching eagerly.

The Northern Expedition Army will never miss this opportunity.

At the top of Suihua City, Xiong Kuohai was holding his sword and sitting on top of the city tower. The city tower could no longer be called a tower. Only the root beams were left, and the rest were knocked down by thunderbolts. This battle was a great one for Xiong Kuohai.

Kuo Hai experienced the second thrilling war in his life, and the first time

It was he who broke through the interception of the Mo Dao team commanded by Zhang Wei, the former Mo Dao hand general of the imperial court in Dazhi. In that battle, he lost almost all his soldiers and was seriously injured himself, but he finally broke through the encirclement. It was also that battle.

The battle made him famous throughout the world.

But today, the situation is a little different. Xiongkuohai looked towards Beijing with a sad heart. In the battle of Dazhi, he had hope and a goal. He knew that as long as he broke through the bright Mo Dao Formation, he could go home.

Being able to return to his wife, he has no worries. But this time, he doesn't know where to go? This is Weizhou. Looking around, there are no friends, only enemies. There is no way back to the south, since the enemy has launched an attack on him

, presumably something big has happened in the south.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be extremely worried about his wife's safety. His wife was about to give birth, could she escape this disaster?

How is going on in Shangjing? Suihua is not far from Shangjing. Does the princess know what is going on here, or has something happened to the princess? Xiong Kuohai can't imagine what he should do if the princess is gone? He keeps guarding like this

Go down? Where is the target, why are the soldiers fighting? Where is the way out? Is it to defend Suihua just to die in the end?

The vast sea has no answer.

"General!" A low cry came from behind. When Xiongkuohai turned around, it was a messenger from the south.

"Yao Yibing, sit down!" He patted the cold steps beside him, looking at the majestic sea road.

"Is the general worried about Master Ziyan?" Yao Yibing asked, sitting next to Xiong Kuohai.

"Yes, when I left, Ziyan was already giving birth. Such a big thing happened. I wonder if mother and son are safe?" Xiong Kuohai knew that Yao Yibing was Ziyan's right-hand man, so he did not hesitate to confide in him.

thoughts.

"Don't worry, general." Yao Yibing said: "Since Master Ziyan already knows that something happened, he will be able to escape. I am still sure of this."

"There are changes in the south, where can they go?" Xiong Kuohai sighed, "What a weakling!'·

Yao Yibing smiled, maybe only in the eyes of Xiong Kuohai, Ziyan is a weak woman. In their hearts, the two women in the net, Ziyan and the princess, are they not related to weak women at all?

"General, don't worry, sir. If my guess is correct, Lord Ziyan will come to Weizhou soon."

"Why do you say that?"°

"Sir, we have lost the south, but the decisive battle is in Weizhou, here with the general!" Yao Yibing said: "As long as we hold Suihua, I believe things will turn around soon."

"What is a turning point?" Xiong Kuohai looked at Yao Yibing.

Yao Yibing knew that the general in front of him was a good fighter, but he knew nothing about political warfare.

"General, something may have happened to the empress at this time. With Cao Yi's habits, she would never attack us without being sure of victory. But they didn't expect that we could jump into their trap and occupy them."

It’s just Suihua—”

"If something happens to the empress, what future will we have?" Xiong Kuohai sighed: "It seems that only Wei will die. No matter what, the enemy on the other side will not let us go. Me, you, Ziyan, the Qin family

Brothers, they must all be on the list."

"Because of this, we have no retreat!" Yao Yibing said fiercely: "General, you can't lose heart, our fate now hangs on you! The empress is still pointing at you!"

"Didn't you say that something happened to my empress?"

"Something may have happened to your Majesty, but as long as your Majesty doesn't die, we will have a chance, and this opportunity must be earned by you, General."

"How to earn it?"

"Keep Suihua, the longer the better! The imperial court is not in peace now. Pu Demeng and Congliang Su Can are fighting fiercely in the south. Yun Zhao's main force comes from the north and is fighting fiercely in Luzhou. General, think about it, if we

Can we hold on until the Northern Expedition Army defeats these two places, will they still care about us?" Yao Yibing smiled coldly, "At that time, the turning point will be there.

"You mean?"

"At that time, if they can't take us down, they will have to shake hands with us and make peace." Yao Yibing said.

"But can we defend until that time? You have also seen the battles in the past two days. The opponent's combat effectiveness is amazing. With the combat effectiveness of our army, we are still almost defeated. How many times have such attacks come? How can Suihua defend?

Can we survive?" Xiong Kuohai was very pessimistic, "I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on until then."

"Definitely!" Yao Yibing said: "General, you are not fighting alone. Don't forget, we still have a snare. Lady Ziyan will come to Weizhou soon. I believe she will definitely come to Weizhou when she leaves the south.

There are some arrangements, there is indeed some panic these days

The horse was in chaos, and Luo Wen was caught off guard. As long as we get over it, Luo Wen will be our help. In the south, in Weizhou, and in Shangjing, Luo Wen's brothers will let our enemies understand why Luo Wen can dominate the world.

Spy organization."

"They will assassinate the opponent's generals, burn the opponent's rations, destroy the opponent's ordnance, and make the world in turmoil. This group of guys headed by Cao Yi will not be able to bear such losses, and they can only make peace with us."

"Sir, muster up your courage and fight, for the sake of the empress, for Lord Ziyan, for your son who has not met me yet, and for the lives of all our brothers!" Yao Yibing said solemnly.

Xiong Kuo Hai stood up in excitement, and Yao Yibing's words made his blood boil. Yes, he wanted to fight for his woman and his son.

He strode away.

"Sir, where are you going?" Yao Yibing asked from behind him.

"I will go on inspection. You are right, Yao Yibing. If I live, Suihua will not be lost. Persistence is victory. I will definitely persist until the day when the turning point comes."

The next day, the reinforcements Cao Ning was waiting for finally arrived, and the attack began immediately. However, this time, Suihua City did not hold on. The city gates opened wide, and the vast sea strode out. Behind him, there were Qian Qin family

The elite Qin family troops came out of the city, relied on the city wall, and prepared to attack the enemy under the city.

Looking at the majestic majestic sea standing at the foot of the city, the generals of the Wei Fangzhen Army who were the main attackers hesitated. This majestic majestic sea had destroyed thousands of sword formations! How many people could survive under his sword?

.

Looking at the hesitant guards generals who were frightened by the vast sea, Cao Ning almost turned his nose in anger. He grabbed the drumstick and beat the war drum vigorously, "Drum, beat the drum!" he shouted sternly, "

When the three-way drum sounds, anyone who doesn’t fight will be killed!”

The Battle of Suihua broke out again.
Chapter completed!
