The Alchemist God

Blood stained the south square of Xingjue City red, 2384 corpses were transported out of the city to be buried one after another, and the nearly 3,000 horses brought by the Yihe army also became Lin Muyu's spoils of war.

In the afternoon, the war horses were harnessed in front of the carriages, and the carriages were hauling a large amount of supplies in Xingjue City. Almost all the gold, gemstones, grains, ironware, etc. were removed. Although Xingjue City was rich, it could no longer If they live here, once the demons win the battle in Lingnan Province, they will make a comeback soon, and Xingjue City will still become a dead city.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians left the city mightily, and the prefect originally wanted to stick to the city, but he was still persuaded by Lin Muyu, and wrote a letter for him to carry to the lord of Cuckoo City, Wang Ju, until Lin Muyu returned to Lanzhou. After Yancheng recommended it to Qin Yin, he will still be a prefect at that time.

...

Watching the carriages leave Xingjue City, Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, Qin Yan and other generals were still watching from the city wall.

Commander, the supplies are gone, why don't we go? Wei Chou said.

Not urgent.

Lin Muyu shook his head.

How can we not be in a hurry... Feng Xi was very impatient, and said: Master Commander, we have wiped out a whole cavalry of 3,000 people, and we will definitely get news from the direction of the steel parapet. If we don't leave now , Ding Xi's army has stepped out of the steel wall, I am afraid we will not be able to leave even if we want to.

Qin Yan said: Brother, what are you waiting for?

yes……

Lin Muyu frowned, and asked, Wei Qiu, how long will the food in the city be enough for the Gendan camp?

The inventory is abundant, at least enough for more than 4,000 of us to feed for three years, but...the forage pile is running out. Our army is all cavalry, and it is very dependent on forage. It may last a month in Xingjue City at most.

enough.

Lin Muyu said: Take good care of the horses and arrow boxes, and practice every day. For the time being, let Xingjue City be the residence of our Longdan Camp.

yes.

...

Lingnan, Sunset City.

It's not good...it's not good...

A messenger general rushed into the hall in a panic.

Xiyang Hou Manning was holding a beautiful maid in his arms to enjoy the singing and dancing, he couldn't help frowning and said: What's the matter of panic, calm me down and talk about it.

The herald's face was livid, and he clasped his fists and said, Your Majesty, there is news from the scouts in front that General Xiong Chao led three thousand cavalry out of the city to attack Lin Muyu's Long Dan camp, and the entire army was wiped out.

What, say it again. Xiyanghou pushed away the maid in his arms and stood up, the fat on his face trembling.

The herald was trembling, and said: General Xiong Chao's 3,000 cavalry, the entire army has been wiped out... The news is convincing, Lin Muyu led the Long Dan Battalion with nearly 5,000 troops still entrenched in Xingjue City, and did not leave.

Lin Muyu is an imperial eagle dog.

Xiyang Hou slapped the armrest of the seat suddenly, his face was full of resentment, and said: This idiot Xiong Chao has suffered such a disastrous defeat, if this matter gets to the ears of Da Dutong, what face do we have in Xunbai Province? Come, order Ding Xi to lead the army out of the city and surround Xingjue City for me. If Lin Muyu dares to destroy my entire army, I will fight back with an eye.

On the side, Lu Zhao stood up and cupped his fists and said, Junhou, Xiyanghou is not the only Marshal Ding Xi, why didn't Junhou send his last general to kill the imperial army?

Man Ning squinted his eyes and said with a smile: Marshal Lu Zhao is the pillar of the country, and the Long Dan Camp has only 5,000 troops, so there is nothing to be afraid of, so let Ding Xi handle this matter, you and I will wait for Lin Muyu His head is.

Yes, Your Majesty is wise.

...

Three days later, Ding Xi led an army of 50,000 troops out of the steel wall and surrounded Xingjue City.

Brother, it's you who said whether to leave or not, and stayed for so long, but now it's good, and I can't leave even if I want to. Qin Yan held the spear and looked at Lin Muyu complainingly.

Lin Muyu looked far and wide, and said with a smile, It's okay.

You're still laughing... Qin Yan said angrily, I'm afraid we really won't be able to get away this time. These 50,000 horses are under the command of Ding Xi, one of the seven commanders of the Yihe Kingdom in Lingnan. Ding Xi is well versed in the art of war. , this time we will definitely not let us go.

Do not worry.

Lin Muyu's eyes were serious, and he said: If Ding Xi leads the troops to encircle Xingjuecheng, then we will definitely be able to get out.

Commander, how do you say that? Wei Chou asked puzzled.

Lin Muyu pointed at the Yihe army a few miles away from the city, and said, Look, Ding Xi divided the 50,000 horses into four, with one horse in each direction, which means that there are only 10,000 taels in each direction. There are more than a thousand people, most of them are infantry, and our Longdan Battalion has 5,000 heavy cavalry, just imagine, can 10,000 infantry stop the breakout of 5,000 heavy cavalry? If I were Ding Xi, I would bring at least ten Thousands of people come here.

You mean... Ding Xi has no intention of killing.

Well, wait for the news.

yes.

At this moment, suddenly a letter bird fell from the sky. Wei Chou took it and took out the letter paper, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, Commander, the Cangnan Province sent a battle report. Xiang Yu succeeded in attacking last night and used the catapult to fill the handle with black beeches. The oil barrels were shot into the Qinling Pass, and the fire attack was successful, taking all four Qinling Passes in Cangnan Province from the hands of the demons.

Qin Yan was pleasantly surprised: It's true, if this is the case...Xian Yu's iron cavalry will be able to reinforce our Xingjue City in just two days and one night. Hurry up and send Xiang Yu a letter to ask him to come to reinforce.

Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: Ayan, do you think Xiang Yu would be so kind to send troops to rescue us? No need, send a letter back to the imperial capital and tell us the situation here.

Um.

...

What everyone didn't expect was that Ding Xi besieged and did not attack. He didn't launch an attack for five days, as if he wanted to use up the vigor and food of the Gendan battalion. But what everyone expected was that, Xiang Yu really didn't have the slightest intention of sending troops to rescue, he just sat and watched the Long Dan Camp being besieged by the Yihe Kingdom in Xingjue City.

Lanyan City.

Qin Yin wore a majestic robe, put her legs together and leaned on the seat, unfolded the feather book in her hand and read it word by word. The men swallowed their saliva one by one, but they didn't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. Even Tang Lu, Tang Tian and the others looked at Qin Yin's beauty and thought about it, but they knew that they had no chance at all.

Qu Chu stood beside the empress, and said calmly: Ah Yu is besieged in Xingjue City, what do you think should be done?

Qin Yin also raised her pretty face, looked at the officials and said, Long Dan Camp is besieged by Star Juecheng, which general is willing to go to Earth Star Province to lead troops to rescue Long Dan Camp from the siege.

Tang Lan clasped her fists and said, Your Highness, Lin Muyu was besieged when he underestimated the enemy. The veteran thinks this is a trick of Yihe rebels. They will definitely arrange heavy troops to intercept and kill our reinforcements in the north of Xingjue City. According to the veteran, It’s better to send a letter to Commander Yu to break out of the encirclement forcefully, as much as he can get out, and Commander Yu possesses unrivaled knowledge, I believe he will definitely be able to come out alive.”

Qin Yinxiu frowned slightly: Any other suggestions?

Yes. Su Muyun clasped his fists and said, Pingnanhou Xiangyu has led an army of 100,000 to capture the Qinling Pass in Cangnan Province. The cavalry journey from Qinling to Xingjue City is at most two days. 30,000 cavalry, with a surprise attack of 30,000 cavalry, I believe that the siege of Xingjue City will be resolved.

Tang Lan couldn't help laughing: Mr. Yun was just joking, let alone the fact that the army from Lingbei entered Lingnan and was not familiar with the place of life. Ding Xi alone is not so easy to deal with. Ding Xi is not a man with a reputation, so he must be on guard. Besides, General Xiang Yu's food and grass are scarce, and it's late autumn, and the soldiers need to change their cotton clothes to keep out the cold, all of which will take time.

Yeah.

Su Muyun squinted his eyes and said with a smile: But Duke Lan, don't forget that the two provinces in the empire's territory that are close to the Qinling Mountains, the Cangnan Province and the Dixing Province, are all members of Duke Lan. If you don't send people to Rescue Commander Yu, don't you want to watch the blood of the first emperor's adopted son stain the battlefield, and watch His Highness the Empress lose her only elder brother?

Tang Lan pondered, and said: How about this, the old man immediately sent a feather letter to Tang Xi, the guarding general of Lengxing City, ordering him to mobilize all the imperial troops in the Earth Star Province, go out of Mosong Pass, and rescue Commander Yu.

Tang attack.

Su Yu frowned, and said, Tang Xi Jiushu fought in battle, so I'm afraid he might not be Ding Xi's opponent.

Then who else can play? Tang Lan asked back.

Su Yu remained silent. There were only a few famous generals in the empire, and there were only a handful of people who could rival Ding Xi. Lin Muyu was already besieged, Xiang Yu stood still, Feng Jixing defended the imperial capital, and Yao Yuan was in charge of guarding rice There is really no one along the river.

...

When everyone was silent, Qin Yin stood up slowly, put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and said lightly: In this case, Xiao Yin can only go to Xingjue City in person, Feng Jixing obeys the order and immediately mobilizes the imperial army All the cavalry, come with me to Xingjue City.

Feng Jixing cupped his fists: Yes, Your Highness.

Su Muyun was stunned: This...Your Highness must not do it. How can you be in danger with a body of ten thousand gold, not to mention that there are countless rebels from the Yihe Kingdom in Lingnan, and there are demons. Your Highness must not leave the imperial capital.

Qin Yin smiled slightly: Grandpa, don't worry, Xiao Yin has a sense of proportion, I know what to do and what not to do.

On the side, Qu Chu said lightly: Duke Yun, please relax. Your Highness has improved a lot in cultivation and has entered the third heavenly realm. Besides, the old minister will go to Lingnan with His Highness. With Feng Jixing's help, even Luo Lan's presence in person can also ensure His Highness is safe.

Su Muyun sighed helplessly: Okay then... Su Yu, you draw 30,000 iron cavalry from the Iron Blade Army to go out with His Highness and wait for dispatch.

Yes, father. Su Yu looked happy.

...

At the same time, news came from Bailing City that Long Qianlin's Dragon Cavalry Army suffered a disastrous defeat after half a month's fierce battle with the Demon Race Lei Chong Army, losing nearly half of its strength. During the charge, nearly half of them were killed by the armored demon army, and the army of the Yihe Kingdom retreated to the south of the steel wall, retreating without fighting.

The north of the steel wall was once again occupied by the demons.
