Chapter 544 Heading North [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

The flags fluttered, and the wind carried the smell of blood and iron.

Several riders on fast horses came from all directions and gathered in Frost North City. On the city wall, Tang Wei, wearing heavy armor and with a serious expression, stared at the map hanging in front of him.

"General, once Tianxia Pass is breached, our army will be attacked from both sides. I'm afraid the enemy will reach Shuangbei City within two days." The general beside him reported the battle situation.

There were two generals from Wu'an Hall who accompanied Tang Wei on the expedition, one was Song Zhibing and the other was Liang Fudao, who were cousins ​​of Song Zhili and Liang Fuguo respectively.

When leaving the Divine Capital, others still thought that Song Zhibing was sent by Emperor Mu Bei to check and balance Tang Wei. After all, in the previous meeting in Wu'an Hall, he stood firmly against Tang Wei.

But at this moment, people in the court gradually realized that there had never been any left-right dispute, and Song Zhili and Liang Fuguo were in the same group.

Liang Fuguo invited Tang Wei to come out of retirement, and everything was within Song Zhili's plan. His brother was naturally on the same side as Tang Wei. Tang Wei's army was all under his control, so he could quickly deviate from the original route and support the city of Shuangbei.

The previous fight was just an illusion for Emperor Mu Bei to see.

"Tianxia Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it has intricate formations, and there are tens of thousands of troops guarding it. How could it fall so quickly..." Song Zhibing also looked serious.

They all knew what the fall of Tianxia Pass meant to the army of Frost North City.

It is said that Shuangbei City is a thorn that Yin State has inserted into Jiuyang. As long as this place is controlled, Jiuyang’s army will never be able to harass Yin State’s border again.

However, the Jiuyang army did not take the usual route. They first landed at Xuanming Sea, defeated the Beizhou military town, and then went around to the back of Tianxia Pass to capture it. In this way, the Jiuyang army was everywhere in front and behind Shuangbei City, and the baggage and food could not be transported, and the support could not arrive in time.

Being attacked from both sides, I don’t know how long Frost North City can hold out.

If Yin State sent troops to retake Tianxia Pass and open up the line to Shuangbei City, it would take a lot of time. Because the two military towns closest to Tianxia Pass are Liangzhou and Beizhou.

Needless to say, as for the Beizhou Military Town, part of the army is here in Tang Wei, and the other part has been wiped out.

Liangzhou had just experienced a natural disaster and had to divide its troops to guard against Bashan, so it was impossible to withdraw troops at once.

It would take too long to wait for the armies from Xizhou, Zhongzhou, Dongzhou and other places to come to support us...

"We received the news that the Beizhou military town was defeated, and we were ready to return to Tianxia Pass. We have just reorganized the soldiers..." Liang Fudao also looked worried, "Is the Tianxiao Demon Cloud Formation really that powerful?"

The Jiuyang Army, which was facing Frost North City from afar, included troops from seven divisions.

Apart from the Wood Wolf Tribe, which existed in name only, only the strongest Blue Dragon Tribe was missing. But no one would have thought that the Blue Dragon Tribe alone could be invincible in the northern part of Yin State.

According to the battle report, it was because the formation of the Canglong army was too weird that the Yin country army was unable to resist and collapsed at the first touch.

"Shuangbei City cannot be defended." Tang Wei said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

The two generals behind him also fell silent.

The generals of their age had all witnessed Tang Wei’s miraculous performances in the past and truly regarded him as a true god.

Now that Tang Wei said this, they naturally didn't know how to break the impasse.

But Tang Wei was not depressed, but continued: "We can't even defend Tianxia Pass, let alone the city wall here, we have to take the initiative to attack." "Which side do you want to attack, General?" Liang Fudao asked immediately, "The Canglong tribe has few soldiers, but their formation is weird. Although we have defeated the seven coalition forces in front once, we still have more soldiers and generals..."

The main reason they won a great victory over the Jiuyang coalition was that they caught the enemy by surprise, and then they began to hold the city.

If we go out to fight in the field again, we may not be able to have the advantage we had that day.

Moreover, as long as they fight with one side to a stalemate, the other side will definitely catch up. The army will be surrounded in the wild and have no city walls to defend, so it will have no choice but to be annihilated.

"We will never be able to defeat the Canglong tribe's formation unless we find a way to break it." Tang Wei looked calmly at the map. He seemed to really see the endless yellow sand and the moving clouds on the battlefield.

"The coalition forces in the north are numerous and powerful, so we definitely can't confront them head-on." Tang Wei drew a semicircle around Frost North City on the map, "We won't fight them."

Song Zhibing and Liang Fudao were both stunned when they saw the half circle of arrows drawn by Tang Wei.

"Let's pretend to go south first. The coalition forces in the north will surely come to chase us. Then the road to Yangtu will be clear." Tang Wei waved his hand, "Let's go north from here!"

The two generals behind him were shocked by his idea. After thinking about it for a long time, they felt that it was extremely bold.

Frost North City is stuck in the middle of the gourd in the Jiuyang map. This is true for the Yang people and for the Yin army as well.

If they defended Frost North City, the coalition forces from the north would not be able to come over. Similarly, if the northern army was stationed, they would not be able to go north either.

Tang Wei's idea was to first move south and mobilize a large number of troops. Then he would circle back and break through directly while the intersection was empty. This would be equivalent to drawing a big circle around Shuangbei City, thus leaving the Jiuyang coalition army behind and entering the extremely empty Jiuyang hinterland.

Not surprisingly.

But this way, they had no way to retreat, as the mouth and waist of the gourd were occupied by the martingale people. They wanted to go home, but there was no way.

After a long while, Song Zhibing finally said, "In this way...we can't go back."

"Go back?" Tang Wei smiled slightly, "We are here to kill the enemy, what are we going back for?"

……

"The army of the Canglong tribe is so powerful that it is unstoppable and unstoppable."

In the Zhuxie Yamen, looking at the sand table of the northwest land, everyone was shocked at how quickly Tianxia Pass fell.

"As soon as the news of the defeat of the Northern Army came back, they had already marched to Tianxia Pass and started fighting. They didn't give us any chance to rush in, and they took the city gate overnight." Chen Su's eyes were gloomy. "As a result, Tang Wei and Shuangbei City are almost doomed."

"Unless the reinforcements from Jiuzhou can quickly retake Tianxia Pass before Shuangbei City falls." Liang Yue said.

"That's almost impossible." Mo Qiuren shook his head and said, "The nearest one is the Zhongzhou military town, but Zhongzhou has to protect the Divine Capital, so it won't send too many reinforcements, otherwise Bashan might take advantage of the situation and invade. And it will take too long to transfer troops from other states."

"I..." Liang Yue frowned and said, "I can hurry up and comprehend the Sky-lifting Sword Diagram that I secretly learned from Bashan. This may help break the formation. However, even if I comprehend the complete sword diagram, my power alone is not enough. I may need a stronger sword cultivator to perform it. Even the King of Zhu Ren needs to specially build a magic sword to exert enough power."

"A swordsman with profound Taoism?" Chen Su raised his eyes and said, "This is what we have the most."
