Bian Wushuang frowned and stared at the battle under Tongfang City. He did not expect that an unknown general of Qi army would make him feel like he was unable to start. Tongfang City was like something covered with barbs. Every time he hit his opponent, he stabbed him in his palms.

When the war started, it was smooth sailing out the battles outside Tongfang City. The 20,000 Western Army led by Suqian and 10,000 cavalry from Jiangshangyan were the leaders, and they wiped out the Qi army outside Tongfang's strongholds in a shattered manner. The only thing that made Bian Wushuang dissatisfied was that there were not many enemies, and it seemed that the opponent took the initiative to give up the battle in these places after resisting, and focused his main energy outside Tongfang City.

Bian Wushuang expected that the war would be very fierce. Although the opponent in front of him was not the Long Xiang army of Qi, because of the blessing of a wealthy family, this army was no less than the Long Xiang army in terms of personnel quality and combat equipment. The last time Wanzhou won a great victory was a tactical victory. In fact, there were not many battles in real face-to-face hard resistance, but this time, it was obviously very different.

If Bian Wushuang's number of troops was similar to that of his opponent, Bian Wushuang would definitely not launch such a meaningless battle. Now, he has several times the strength of his troops, and he will win even better than his opponents. Now his command is almost all Ming-style equipment. On the basis of strategy, he can easily advance and retreat, but the Qi army is not the case. They have no way out and have no other way except to fight to the death.

Of course, the most important point is political reasons. He wants to show him a positive look to the state of Chu and the emperor Min Ruoying.

Luo Liang is going to be finished. Bian Wushuang has no doubt about this, because he personally revealed Luo Liang's marching route, and everything has been done to this point. If Zhou Jiyun still can't seize the opportunity, then he is simply a fool. Such a person is really worth further cooperation with him.

The troops led by Luo Liang were killed by Zhou Jiyun, but he took the door of Kunling County on the front battlefield and opened the gate of Kunling County. Compared with these two, he showed his wisdom and majesty. Luo Liang is an absolute fool. Luo Liang has a bad record of his past as the background. The Chu people can only curse this guy as a devastating star. As long as the battle he commands, they will end in failure every time.

Bian Wushuang is certainly clear about the changes in the Chu court. Min Ruoying was eager to end the battle in the six eastern counties. Not only wanted to recover Kunling County, but also wanted to clear the obstacles that Zhou Jiyun was here so as to communicate directly with the Qi court. Now Min Ruoying has the intention to introduce Qi forces to fight against the infiltration of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhou Jiyun's force was intervened in the middle, which made his ideas not fully implemented.

But what benefits does this have for Bian Wushuang? Zhou Jiyun was destroyed and the war in the six eastern counties was over. Then his power would inevitably shrink significantly. Many things would not be so convenient. It can be imagined that once the war ended, the court would inevitably take back the power in his hands one by one. In the end, he would probably become a general guarding the border like Chengwuben in the past. This was not what Bian Wushuang wanted.

Of course, Tongfang had to take it down, but Zhou Jiyun could not perish. On the contrary, he had to steadily stalk in Kunling County so that he could benefit from it.

He defeated Tongfang but did not defend, and threw it back to Zhou Jiyun again. This was because of Luo Liang's failure. There was a huge loophole on the entire front, which was not his own business. After Zhou Jiyun encountered a major failure in Tongfang this time, his strength shrank. If he wanted to survive, he had to rely more on himself in the future. As long as he saw this fact clearly, he could truly join hands with the wealthy families behind him.

As long as you plan it properly, it is not impossible to do something big. Moreover, doing this yourself is in line with the general strategic direction of the Ming Dynasty. Even if you fail in the end, there is still a retreat path for Ming Dynasty. After all, the three sides fight each other, but they are all in the process of getting along with each other, as if they are in water.

Luo Liang thought that he could point fingers in front of him by taking a sword of the emperor and running to Jinghu. Hehe, if you want to ride on my head and poop, I will use your life to get some benefits, send you to the West, and then put a shit pot on your head, so that you can die insignificantly.

Bian Wushuang planned everything very well, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the battle between the two sides was so cruel. After a few days of fighting, Suqian's face turned green, Bian Wushuang's face turned green, and the only person who still maintained his normal mind was Jiang Shangyan. His cavalry was useless now.

Wu Lin was extremely smart. Not long after the battle on the periphery of Tongfang started, after seeing the huge power of the Ming-style equipment used by the Chu army to siege cities and land, he immediately modified his previous combat plan. Most of the periphery of Tongfang were abandoned. In fact, these fortresses did not have much strength to compete with when facing the attack of the Thunder Fire. Those fortresses with civil structures could not withstand the attack of the Thunder Fire at all. Often after a round of attacks, these city walls were beaten to leak everywhere, turning into broken walls.

The withdrawn troops cannot be put away in Tongfang City. So many people put in such a small city will be a deathbed. They gather intensive forces outside the city to fight against the opponent. Under the violent attacks of the opponent's thunder fire, rushing vehicles, and crossbows, they will also suffer heavy losses. They must change their combat methods to compete with the opponent.

Wulin carried out civil engineering operations on a large scale outside Tongfang City and dug out countless trenches that were crisscrossing. His soldiers were hidden in the trenches, and there were no soldiers from Qi on the ground.

Bian Wushuang's thunder fire was no longer useful, the crossbow machine could no longer play a role, and the trapped car could only watch on the side. If the Qi army wanted to advance, the only way was to go down into the trenches and compete with the Qi army for control of these trenches one by one.

Complete close combat, complete chaos, trenches that crisscross and connected to each other, the combat forces of both sides are completely mixed together, and you don’t know when a force will emerge from your rear and side inexplicably.

The advantage of military strength lost his role in the face of such a battle. In the narrow trenches, one person could stop a whole group of people.

Apart from fighting with human lives but taking it away, Bian Wushuang had no other way for a while.

The Western Army in Suqian and Bian Wushuang's direct troops attacked in turn, but after a few days of fighting, both of them felt that they could not bear such losses.

The Qi army's losses were not smaller than theirs, but they were trapped beasts. There was no other way except to fight to the death, and they had only one life left to fight.

On the high wooden platform built, Su Qian saw with his own eyes that a team of more than 100 people unknowingly went forward along the trench too deeply during the battle, and was surrounded by several Qi troops from all directions, blocking a trench that was more than 100 meters long, and after fighting, no one survived, he finally couldn't help it.

"It won't work like this." He roared, "Jiang Shangyan, can't your cavalry try it?"

Jiang Shangyan, who was trimming his nails with a knife, raised her head and looked at Suqian with an angry face, and said innocently: "What can I do? Let my cavalry fight in the trenches? After they went down, they couldn't even turn around. There was only one road leading from us to Tongfang City, but there was no need to think about that road. Wulin must have used crossbow arrows and catapults to lock it. If I dare to walk on this road, it would be a death sentence. General Su, there was no other way, so he could only fight one after another, fill one after another, and when he filled in Tongfang City, we would win."

Su Qian turned his head with a dark face and re-examined the battlefield. He knew that Jiang Shangyan was right, and he was just heartbroken that his subordinates had lost. At the moment when he turned around, his troops finally successfully surrounded a Qi army in the trench. But as the battle began, he was attacked by the overwhelming catapults on the city. After the stone rain, the trench was filled, and almost no one was present. The remaining few who escaped by chance stood in a daze, and even forgot to run back.

"Mingjin withdraws his troops! Let's get here today!" Bian Wushuang, who had not made any sound, suddenly stood up and said loudly.

The sound of the gong to withdraw the troops was ringing, and Suqian let out a long breath. Well, I finally survived this day. Tomorrow, it was Bian Wushuang's army's turn to attack, and his subordinates could finally take a breath. In a day, they had only advanced about a hundred meters. How much would it cost to hit the foot of Tongfang City. Looking at the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying and corpses were filled with corpses, Suqian sighed.

When the Chu army retreated, Wu Lin in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. After another day, the Chu army outside the city suffered many casualties. How could he be relaxed? This is a typical way of killing one thousand enemies and losing one thousand. If the Chu army persists, it is himself who will eventually fail. He has already started to arrange street battles in the city. When the city cannot be defended, then let's fight with his opponent in a melee in the city.
