"Dingyue is surrounded on all sides and cannot bring in armaments, grain, grass, and reinforcements. If we don't provide assistance, it will be difficult to defend it for a long time." Ding Junhou frowned and looked gloomy. "How do you think we should handle this situation?"

The face of the Minister of War is also quite gloomy. Several days have passed. As expected, there must have been many bloody battles in Dingyue. Without assistance, it will indeed be difficult to defend it for a long time.

But the problem is that they cannot go beyond the siege of Xiangrong to provide any assistance.

The Minister of Rites, who did not know much about marching and fighting, said tentatively, "The military book says that in such a situation, you can send troops to break out, tear up the enemy's siege, rush into the city, and provide assistance. Can this method

How to solve today’s situation?”

Marquis Dingjun twitched his lips, shook his head and said, "The defenders of the city can't stop the Xiang Rong. If you want to break through the Xiang Rong formation in a field battle, I'm afraid the God of War must be alive."

Speaking of the God of War, he thought of Qin Yi.

Although everyone is looking forward to Qin Yi's return, he has always had doubts.

If Qin Yi really returns, can he lead his soldiers to defeat Xiang Rong?

After all, Qin Yi also used Linzhan troops and horses. Why do everyone think that if Qin Yi leads them, they will definitely be able to defeat Xiang Rong?

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

It's not that he has contempt, it's just that he is confused and not sure whether Qin Yi can do it.

In the palace, everyone looked solemn.

They know that if this situation continues, it will be bad.

Just when Si Qimei pondered for a moment and was about to speak out, she suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from outside the hall.

Everyone suddenly turned around and looked outside the hall.

I saw an eunuch, holding a letter, and hurried into the palace, "Empress, gentlemen, there is an urgent battle report from the 800-mile front line!"

After saying that, the eunuch stepped forward quickly and handed the battle report in his hand to Lu Jingyi.

When Lu Jingyi heard this, her beautiful face suddenly became solemn!

Generally speaking, anything that is urgent at 800 miles away is bad news!

From this, she felt that the battle report in her hand was extremely heavy, like a thousand catties!

Several ministers frowned and looked at Lu Jingyi, waiting for him to read the battle report.

After opening the letter, Lu Jingyi frowned and took a closer look. After a moment, an extremely solemn word came out of her mouth, "Dingyue, we have fallen!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Marquis Dingjun quickly reached out his hand and said, "I would also like to ask the empress to let me read the battle report."

Lu Jingyi reached out and handed the battle report to the other party.

Marquis Dingjun frowned and looked. After a moment, the expression on his face became extremely complicated, helpless, sad, and powerless...

They have been discussing how to send aid to Yuejun Town in the past few days.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xiang Rong were invincible in the field battle, the Yuan clan would not have been able to defeat the opponent. Otherwise, they would have wanted to send a group of soldiers and horses with baggage to break through the Xiang Rong battle formation, rush into Dingyue, and send for support.

But now, Dingyue has actually fallen!

And it only lasted a few days... This situation was completely beyond their expectations!

But Marquis Dingjun knew that the soldiers were not greedy for life and fearful of death, and were passive and lazy in fighting.

He believed that the fighting strength and consciousness of Linzhan's soldiers were definitely not weaker than those of Dali's soldiers, or even stronger.

The reason why they couldn't hold on for a long time must be for reasons they didn't know, and one of them was that they couldn't get help and the guards became exhausted.

Perhaps, this is the purpose of those damn Xiangrong who chose to besiege the city on all sides to prevent Dingyue Army Town from receiving any support.

It is very possible that what the other party did was a lesson learned from the Battle of England.

When attacking Yinglan, Xiangrong only besieged one side, so that Dali's support could be sent into Yinglan in an endless stream.

It seems that these black-haired monkeys are not brainless!

Feeling sad, Marquis Dingjun looked down and was stunned for a moment, then became slightly happy.

At the bottom of the battle report, it was written that Gan Zijin and others privately defended Tianbi Pass and actually achieved a victory, defeating the Xiang Rong pursuers, allowing more than 10,000 deserters to survive, and blocking the Xiang Rong from Tianbi Pass.

This victory is hard-won!

This news made him feel great comfort. It was extremely rare good news in these days.

Immediately, Marquis Dingjun handed the battle report to others, and everyone circulated it. After reading it, they all looked helpless and sad.

Only the Minister of Rites, with a happy face, said joyfully, "My lords, although Dingyue has been lost, Tianbi Pass has been defended. Maybe our army can rely on Tianbi Pass to let Xiang Rong return home!"
p>

Marquis Dingjun was quite helpless. He didn't know whether it was because the ministers of the Ministry of Rites often forgot things, or because the other party only knew that Qin Yi captured Li Jing, but did not know how Qin Yi captured Li Jing.

At the beginning, Qin Yi led his troops and horses to cross the high mountains and crossed the Tianbi Pass.

Qin Yi can do it, and Xiangrong, who is a mountain tribe, can definitely do it too.

After all, Xiangrong is better at living in the mountains. After entering the mountains, their survival ability is much higher than that of Linzhan soldiers, and they will not lose their way.

Before Marquis Dingjun could answer, the Minister of War took the lead and said, "Surrounding Tianbi Pass are deep mountains and old forests. If the elephant army cannot attack Tianbi Pass, it is very likely that they will have to climb over the mountains and bypass Tianbi Pass."

When the Minister of Rites heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and the atmosphere in the palace became slightly dull.

Xiangrong is getting closer and closer to Zhanjing.

When the opponent crosses Tianbi Pass and reaches the capital, there will be only one line of defense left, Yanluo Fucheng.

It is difficult to hold Dingyue Army Town, but Yanluo City... will be even more difficult!

……

Seeing Xiang Rong carrying the dead body and launching a charge, Gan Zijin hurriedly ordered, "Change the formation and get on the spear formation!"

The crossbowmen retreated one after another, and the spearmen quickly stepped forward, lined up in formation, and set up their spears, with the spear tips facing outwards, shining with a cold luster.

But who would have thought that the roar of the Xiangrong came from the battle formation, like the roar of wild beasts. The Xiangrong, who was charging forward with the dead body on his back, suddenly squatted down, revealing the Xiangrong behind him.

These elephants all raised their right hands, holding sharp bamboo spears!

With a roar, these elephants suddenly turned around and threw the bamboo spears with all their strength!

Gan Zijin shouted urgently, "Resist!"

I saw that in the spear formation, the soldiers who originally held spears with both hands were actually holding spears with one hand now, and their left hands were all holding a wooden shield!

Although Gan Zijin had already deduced how Xiang Rong would attack before, there was always something missing in Baimi. He failed to guess that Xiang Rong would advance with the times and come up with ways to break the situation according to the situation.

Throwing bamboo spears is Xiangrong’s new trick!

Yesterday, Linzhan's soldiers were caught off guard and suffered a lot of casualties under the projection of bamboo spears. Almost all the spearmen were wiped out.

As a result, Linzhan's soldiers were forced to start a bloody battle.

The battle lasted for several hours, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The battle finally ended with the Xiangrong retreating.

Although the Linzhan side defended Tianbi Pass, they suffered heavy casualties. Even the commander-in-chief Gan Zijin was stabbed by a bamboo spear.

Fortunately, we have sufficient troops, and we can dispatch soldiers on standby in the rear to supplement our combat strength, so that the crossbow formation and spear formation can continue to operate.

But later on, Gan Zijin learned a lesson after a hard time.

He asked many spearmen to carry wooden shields when holding their spears.

Therefore, when Xiang Rong was throwing bamboo spears, upon hearing Gan Zijin's loud shout, many spearmen put their wooden shields in front of themselves to protect their vitals such as their stomachs and hearts!

"Whoosh!"

The Xiang Rong were extremely powerful, and the bamboo spears they projected made a harsh sound of breaking through the air!

The flying bamboo spears either hit the wooden shield and made a clanging sound, or they hit some soldiers through the gaps, causing some chaos in the spear array.

Taking this opportunity, Xiangrong launched a charge!

Carrying the dead bodies, they violently collided with the spear array, and the sharp spear points immediately pierced the dead bodies and pierced them.

Suffering great pain, Xiang Rong roared incessantly, became mad and charged as hard as he could with his spear.

At this time, some of the spearmen had been shot by bamboo spears and were unable to catch them. Now they are being pushed back and they are even retreating.

In an instant, the spear formation was broken through!

Gan Zijin frowned and shouted in a hissing voice, "Go up and repel the Xiang Rong!"

The swordsmen and shieldmen waiting at the rear rushed forward at the command and killed the Xiangrong!

Another bloody battle!

The two sides fought until the sky was dark and the ground was dark. I don’t know how long they had been fighting. The entire Tianbi Road was filled with the pungent smell of blood!

Although Linzhan's soldiers continued to retreat, they were not defeated. Many soldiers and horses came from the rear in an endless stream, fighting to resist with all their might.

As a result, Xiangrong suffered heavy casualties, but there was no hope of breaking the situation, and a strange bone flute sounded from behind.

This is the signal to withdraw troops!

After another bloody battle, Linzhan's soldiers repelled the Xiang Rong.

This was their fourth bloody battle since they stood firm on the Tianbi Road. Only on the night when Dingyue fell, relying on the crossbow array and spear array, they were able to repel the Xiang Rong without any damage. Every subsequent battle resulted in heavy casualties.
