Under the protection of heavy troops, Bailiji stood in a corner of the camp and looked at the battle situation. Even when he saw the soldiers falling down, there was no slight turmoil in his eyes.

"It seems that Zhao Qingyan has made a lot of preparations for this battle. The palace estimates that there are at least a hundred flying stone cars, and there has not stopped at all since the early morning. It can be seen that there must be mountains of stones in the village."

"It's just a mantis arm that is a chariot. It's really a whim to stop our army with just a few stones. Your Highness, why not let the last general lead the headquarters to smuggle from the west, and he will definitely be caught off guard by killing Zhao Qingyan." Hu Bugui's eyes flashed with cold light.

"Tiefutu is the strongest warriors selected from the crooked horses. Xiliang's elites have exhausted their efforts, so if they don't take action, they must attack Huanglong and capture Zhao Qingyan as soon as they take action. If you use all your backhands because of impulse, then you are not worthy of being the commander of Tiefutu."

Hu Bugui's blood gradually boiling in an instant cooled down, "I am the last person to think carefully, I hope Your Highness will forgive you."

"You have the ability, but you are too impatient. If you can play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses and change your shortcomings, your future achievements will be limitless." Bailiji said and walked backwards.

Bai Yi looked at the enemy's army that had already climbed to the south bank, pointed a spear in his hand and shouted: "Prepare to catch the enemy!"

The sound of the horizontal sword being unscathed was heard. The soldiers of the Tiger Guard looked at the enemy getting closer and closer with a hot eyes, and couldn't help but hold the hilt closer and closer. Everyone had an idea in their hearts.

This battle is the first battle of the Tiger Guard, and you must not embarrass the prince.

The shield soldiers in Xiliang pulled out their steel knives from their shields and ran towards the village wall. The crooked horses and crossbowmen on the north bank increased their range and spared no effort to shoot at dozens of well railings on the south bank.

When the Western Liang arrived at the shield soldiers rushed to the wall of the village, the first row knelt on the ground, and the second row leaned against the former to support the ground with a diagonal shield. Then, the third row and the fourth row quickly formed a simple shield ladder outside the wall. A large number of soldiers following him rushed up without hesitation.

The soldiers of the Tiger Guard remained calm in the face of danger. The soldiers holding spears in their hands frequently stabbed out in the cracks of the village wall. Every time they retracted the spear, they would bring out a lot of blood and their intestines flew.

"No, it's really good. The soldiers in Xiliang are so well-trained. It seems that the turtle has not been in vain for so many years."

"Although the enemy is remarkable, Rong Beizhi boasted that he was far worse than our Tiger Guards."

As they spoke, nearly a thousand enemy troops climbed over the wall, but before they could land, they were stabbed by a spear, and then countless horizontal swords came, instantly chopping the enemy into meat sauce. Even some fish that escaped the net became dead souls after a few sucking.

While fighting hand-to-hand combat, the arrow rain on both sides did not stop at all. The number of casualties in long-range troops on both sides was even better than the former, which shows the frequency of arrow rain.

The 20,000 Tiger Guards who went to Jingzhou to support this time were basically the former Yulin Army. Although this was inevitable that they would be nervous after the first battle after the army was formed, they found a familiar feeling without too long, and they had a very tacit understanding.

Bai Yi stood ten feet behind the village wall and issued instructions frequently. If he saw an emergency, he would lead people to take the defense as soon as possible. After the siege was resolved, he would return to the original place to issue orders.

After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the sound of gold sound came from the north bank. The soldiers of Xiliang raised their shields and retreated slowly. Because this was the best crossing point, the river water did not reach the waist and abdomen, so the retreat speed was a bit slow, but fortunately, there were not many corpses left during the retreat.

"Tiger Guard!" "Tiger Guard!"

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, celebrating the victory of the first round.

Then the bodies of the death robes were restrained on the north and south sides of the north and south sides, and the bodies left on the south bank of Xiliang could not be contained. Qingyan ordered all the sparks on the spot to let them sleep in the Tuohe River forever.

Only counting the number of enemy corpses on the south bank was more than 3,000. If we were to count the number of people who were killed by flying stones and feather arrows, there would be at least 5,000. The tiger guards also suffered more than 1,000 casualties in this battle, which was not a big victory. However, Bailiji's tentative attack suffered a considerable loss, and he lost one-tenth of the North Bank in just one day.

"Shi Zhan, you personally lead your brothers to strengthen the walls. This is our first and most solid line of defense, and we must not be missed." In the commander's tent, Qing Yan issued an order.

"Receive the order from a humble position." Shi Zhanlong Xing and Tiger walked out.

"Ye Tian, ​​let the flying stone cart take a break when it is Xu, and then you lead someone to sneak out of the village wall to collect some more reusable feather arrows. Although our family is wealthy, we still have to live carefully this day."

"Receive the order from a humble position." Ye Tian then walked out of the commander's tent.

"Uncle Bai, what's going on in Fan Ningcheng now?"

"Report to the prince, the enemy camped in the north and west directions of Fanning City, but did not attack the city."

Qing Yan smiled and said, "I don't know who is leading the army there. If it weren't for Bailiji's military order, then this person would be so calm."

"The low-ranking missions sent many horses to enter the city from the second gate of Fanning's southeast. It was safe along the way. After seeing the mission, Lou Jin sent a message back, saying that everything would obey the prince's arrangements. If there was no military order, he would guard Fanning City and never take a step."

"Lou Jin has been the chief general of Xiangfan Legion for ten years, so he must be a steady person." Qingyan stood up and walked to the map and looked, "Although we were like a steel nail piercing into the bone marrow, if we continue to fight like this, we will definitely be exhausted before Bailiji."

Bai Yi also knew what this said. Today is just a tentative attack, and the offensive is so fierce. After today, the enemy will definitely want to pull out this steel nail even more crazily. Now there are less than 20,000 tiger guards on its own side, and the war of attrition is extremely unfavorable.

"Uncle Bai, can you explore the enemy's food route?"

"The cavalry sent out did not send back the message, and it is expected that the results will not take long."

"What I said is right, I'm too anxious." Qing Yan said in a deep voice: "If you want to break the enemy, you can only blind the north bank and raid the enemy's troops under Fanning City. However, if you want to annihilate all the 100,000 enemy troops, you still need to find out where the enemy's food supply is. It seems that we will have to hold on for a few more days."

----------------------(I'm a dividing line)

Beiyan, National Master's Mansion.

Li Yang and Yi Wu ate hot pot in the flower hall. The former ate hot and hot, while the latter rarely used chopsticks.

"Why don't you eat it? This is the best lamb given by Your Majesty, and it's rare to see it on the grassland." Li Yan wiped the oil stains on his mouth, "Are you thinking about the war in Jingbei?"

"What the national teacher said is right, I am full of Fan Ningcheng now." Yi Yi said his thoughts bluntly.

Li Yan smiled helplessly and said, "You are the general of Northern Yan, why are you so idle all day? What does the fight between the two families on the other side have to do with you? You really worry about eating carrots."

"According to the latest investigation, Zhao Qingyan has led 20,000 tiger guards to set up camp on the west bank of the Baihe River, and Bailiji has also led a 100,000 army out of Yugang Township. If what he expected is not bad, both sides have already started working today." Yi Yi put down his chopsticks, picked up a plate of peanuts and started eating.

"Just do it. Whoever wins can still give you a few hundred taels of silver? We just need to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

Yi Yi, who was eating peanuts, did not immediately respond, but fell into deep thought. Seeing that he was just smiling and didn't say anything, Li Yan poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking it beautifully.

"What I worry about is that if Zhao Qingyan really defeats Xiliang with less than the worst, it will not only be a heavy blow to them, but also a huge bad news for me, Beiyan."

"Hire... Although we have been in peace with Xiliang for so many years, we have never signed a covenant. So no matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with us. As long as we implement the policy we set, it doesn't take too long, and the national strength will far exceed the two countries."

Perhaps thinking about the key points, Yi Yi picked up the wine pot and drank it wildly, and when the pot of wine was all gone, he said, "Do you not understand what I mean? I am afraid that Zhao Qingyan will decide the world in this battle and become a true king of shoulder to shoulder. By that time, he will be a big trouble for Beiyan."

"Not to mention whether he has Zhao Xuance's ability, even if he has it, has the General forgotten what I said before?"

"Even if the Ling Emperor is afraid of Zhao Qingyan, he still needs to resist foreign enemies in critical moments. This time, this is an example. The Ling Emperor in the Jinhua Palace personally ordered Zhao Qingyan's general, which shows that he still has a lot of trust in him."

Li Yang seemed to hear a huge joke, "It seems that the general did not fully understand Li's words, otherwise he would never have said this."

"What does the national teacher mean?"

"It's not as good as you can see if you say it out loud, let's wait and see."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For several days, more than ten fierce attacks were launched on the north bank of Tuanhe River. Although the offensive became stronger and stronger, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard still rushed back, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.

In addition to the countless corpses left behind by crossing the river and attacking, Xiliang was killed by flying stones every day and injured countless times. This made the morale in Xiliang camp gradually depressed. If the prince had not been in charge himself, he would have lost his fighting spirit.

After these days of high-intensity attacks, more than half of the hundreds of flying stone cars have been damaged. Although they try their best to repair it, they are still a drop in the bucket and can be used less and less. The most important thing is that the stones in the camp have also reached the bottom.

"How many of the ten cavalry sent out have not returned?"

"Report to the prince, there are still two ways to return."

Qingyan looked at the map and felt a little anxious. If they had not come back after the stones were bottoming out, they would probably have died in battle. However, Qingyan still prayed that the remaining two cavalry could bring back good news. If it really reached the worst level, he could only give up encirclement and annihilate the enemy and only seek to retreat.

"Now there are only four of us in the tent of the coach, so I'll ask you now, you must answer truthfully." Qingyan turned around and glanced at the three people, "After these days of offensive and defensive battles, our army suffered heavy casualties, and only about 15,000 of the slightly injured brothers could move."

"If only three thousand people are left to guard the camp, you can guarantee that you will not lose it for a few days."

When the three of them heard this, they knew that the prince had made up their minds and knew that this matter was about the overall situation, so they all deduced it in their hearts, calculating how many days they could keep.

"One day."

"Two days at most."

"Two days."

Qing Yan looked at the three of them solemnly and said in a deep voice: "You must know that this matter is not careless, so you must take responsibility for what you say."

The three of them focus on the key points.

The one who said one day was Ye Tian, ​​and the one who said two days was Shi Zhan at most, and Bai Yi finally said it.
