Chapter 567: The Golden Cicada Leaves Out of Shell

The competition for the western front of Yizhou core defense circle reached a fierce level within a few days. Zhang Aimin, the commander of the first army, even faced the front line to command. Under the crazy attack of the Minzhou army, the first bastion defense line was in danger, and many points were formed by the opponent. At this time, Li Huaiyuan, who had disagreed with the public and improved the Internet bunker based on the Dingzhou bastion, finally played an important role. Once the Minzhou army formed a breakthrough at a certain point, in a very short time, the Yizhou army could mobilize heavy troops through the underground passage, form a force advantage at the breakthrough point, and expel the Minzhou soldiers who were attacking.

Zhang Aimin's crazy and realistic offensive, and the illusion created by the blood of soldiers finally successfully confused Li Sizhi. Now he believes that Zhang Aimin is indeed trying to break through the core protection circle of Yizhou between the formation of a siege of the king group against him, thus ignoring that Zhang Aimin's general Zhang Ai has quietly withdrawn from the attack sequence.

"He's crazy!" Li Sizhi said angrily. Zhang Aimin's wild attacks regardless of his life and death put huge pressure on the Yizhou defense line. The troops were greatly damaged and many bastions were seriously damaged. Li Si had to transfer the reserve team to the front line for a while to alleviate the pressure of insufficient troops on the front line.

After two consecutive days of attack, the Minzhou soldiers finally stopped their attack and retreated for more than ten miles, which made Li Sizhi finally take a breath. He was able to recover and reorganize the broken army and repair the castle.

At this time, in Zhang Aimin's camp, Zhang Aimin recruited a group of generals under him.

"Everyone, we will start evacuating in batches tomorrow!" Zhang Aimin said. "The retreat sequence is as follows!" Zhang Aimin waved his hand, and the central officer began to recite the order loudly.

The voice of the central officer was still surrounding the tent, and the Imperial Guardian Lin Ouyang Jianqiang had already jumped up, "General Zhang, I don't understand why we were evacuating in the end?"

Zhang Aimin smiled slightly, "You are not the last evacuation, because I will be with you."

"General Zhang, I think the strength of our Imperial Guard lies in attacking the tough and holding on to the sharp edge, not cutting off the rear!" Ouyang Jianqiang said. In Zhang Aimin's withdrawal sequence, all Minzhou troops were before the Imperial Guard. Although Zhang Aimin decided to stay behind, Ouyang Jianqiang was still unhappy. During the retreat, the army that cut off the rear was the most dangerous. The morale was not high when retreating, and he had to deal with the pursuit from his own. One unhappy response was the fate of defeat and death. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Ouyang Jianqiang naturally knew his weaknesses. These guys who were always above the top in the capital showed the characteristics of whether they encountered strength or not when facing a strong army for the first time. They lacked the courage to fight to the death in the cruel tug-of-war, and even Minzhou soldiers were not as good as those of Minzhou soldiers.

Zhang Aimin knocked on the table, "General Ouyang, I believe that our strong attack in the past few days has successfully made the opponent's wrong judgment. This can be seen from the allocation of the opponent's troops that they have already brought the reserve team, and the only thing they have not yet fought is their cavalry. Our sudden retreat will cause the opponent to be confused for a short time, but this time will not be too long. After all, Li Sizhi is also an experienced veteran. Once he understands, he will pursue without hesitation. At this time, the troops he is pursuing must be Li Feng's Yizhou Camp mobilized from the Eastern Front."

Zhang Aimin paused, "I think everyone knows the enemy situation very well. Li Feng's Yizhou Camp was a thrust on the Cao Battalion for a long time. The cavalry, tactics, and willpower of the soldiers are in line with the Dingzhou soldiers. It is the most powerful combat power of Dingzhou. If we cannot put our most powerful imperial guards behind us to guard them, once they catch up with the Minzhou infantrymen, it will become a massacre. General Ouyang, haven't you always said that you want to compete with the Dingzhou Changsheng Camp Tornado Camp? If you don't even have the confidence to defeat Li Feng's Yizhou Camp, then when you encounter the Changsheng Camp and the Tornado Camp, you should hide as far as you want. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Yizhou Camp is only worthy of being a student of the Changsheng Camp and the Tornado Camp."

Ouyang Jianqiang suddenly turned red when he was eating Zhang Aimin's squeezing competition, "Li Fengru, what's the matter? Okay, I'll cut off the rear. I want to see how powerful the Dingzhou soldiers are! His Yizhou camp is only 6,000 cavalry, and I have more than 10,000 people under my command, so let them see how powerful the Emperor's personal army is!"

"Okay!" Zhang Aimin applauded vigorously, "General Ouyang is so brave, so that's it. Tomorrow, I will command the army to launch an attack again, and the remaining troops will retreat in sequence. The troops that do not leave tomorrow must be prepared to launch another attack to buy time for the troops that leave first. The Imperial Guard will start to accumulate strength from tomorrow."

"The last general will obey the order!" The generals stood up with a loud bang, holding their fists to obey the order.

Seeing that everyone else walked out of the tent, the relaxed expression on Zhang Aimin's face began to disappear. At this time, the generals still didn't know that the retreat route was to seize Gufu and walk to Dacang Mountain. If they knew now, would they still have the current spirit?

"Zhang Yue, you have to tell the generals that we are going to Gufu until we turn!" Zhang Aimin ordered.

When it was dawn, Li Sizhi had not yet gotten up from the bed. Yesterday, he patrolled various bastions all the way to boost morale and comfort the wounded. The genius from Zhitian Siji came back tiredly. He felt comfortable and burned his feet. Crawl *** just fell asleep, and was awakened by the sound of killing. He jumped up from the bed. Li Sizhi ran out of the door barefoot and stepped on the cold stone slab. Li Sizhi looked down from the large bastion where he lived. On the first line of defense in the distance, there was a bright light. Countless Minzhou soldiers were pushing Mengchong chariots, tanks, cloud ladders, nest chariots, holding shields, and slamming swords and guns, rushing towards the defense line one by one.

Within the castle, rainy arrows flew out. After the castle, the catapult was sending out stone bombs one by one, and the Minzhou soldiers launched another fierce attack.

"Bastard, Zhang Aimin, you are simply an unreasonable madman!" Li Sizhi shouted and cursed, and suddenly felt a chill on his face. He reached out and touched it, but it was a little rain. He looked up and saw that at some point, snowflakes began to float in the sky, and it was snowing again.

The guard chased after him with his shoes, and Li Sizhi sat on the ground without any grace, putting on cotton socks. This thing was made in Dingzhou and was indeed very warm. Put on the shoes and then put on armor under the service of his personal soldiers. Li Sizhi picked up his spear and said, "Let's go ahead and take a look!"

When Li Sizhi arrived at the front line, the front line just repelled the enemy's first wave of attacks. Li Zheng, covered in blood, came up with a bloody steel knife. "Dad!" Seeing Li Sizhi's concerned eyes, Li Zheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, most of them are the enemy's blood. I just led people to fight a local counterattack, cut more than a dozen heads with my own hands, and suffered a little skin trauma."

Li Sizhi nodded, "Well, it's not bad. The defense is the most boring. Being able to make some short, flat and fast assaults under conditions permitted is very beneficial to the boost of morale. Zheng'er, you have made progress!"

Li Zheng laughed, "Dad, I feel that the attack intensity of the Minzhou soldiers is down to the next level compared to the previous few days. It seems fierce, but it does not pose a great threat to us. Unlike the previous few days, it is terrifying and walking on thin ice!"

"As soon as he works, he will decline again, and he will be exhausted three times. Zhang Aimin ignored the arrival of his strong enemy behind him and wanted to break through our defense line, but was repeatedly blocked. It is an indisputable fact that the soldiers were greatly frustrated. Now he is at the end of his strength and cannot penetrate Lu Sha. I see, today he returns without success, and Zhang Aimin will run away!" Li Sizhi smiled with his beard. The most dangerous time has passed.

"Dad, you said that Zhang Aimin was going to run back and hit Wang's group head-on, it's not a dead end!" Li Zheng sneered.

"The two major groups of Guowang are now divided, and there is a lot of room for strategic maneuver. If Zhang Aimin can break through the cavalry of Shanfeng in the whole province, he still has a great chance to lead a remaining army to escape. How much it can escape depends on his ability."

The drums sounded again on the opposite side, and Li Sizhi climbed to the highest top of the bastion and looked into the distance. A few miles away, Zhang Aimin's central army flag was flying high. Under the banner, a general stood quietly, and his eyes seemed to be looking here. Although it was several miles away, the two could still feel the other's hot gaze.

Seeing the banner under the big flag, Zhang Aimin pulled out his waist, raised it high, and fell down violently. His mouth opened and closed, as if he was shouting something, and he couldn't help but sneer: "What can you do to me if you are anxious to jump over the wall?"

The soldiers of Minzhou rushed up again, but the snow in the world was getting heavier and heavier, denser and denser. With the wind, it suddenly went east and west. After a while, the increasingly dense snow lowered the vision to the lowest point. A few feet away, there was no sign of people, and only the shouts of like mountains were heard still.

In the heavy snow in the sky, the attack of the Minzhou soldiers finally became weaker. When it was bright, the last wave of Minzhou soldiers finally retreated helplessly. Under the castle group, there were countless abandoned chariots, Mengchong cars, siege cars, and cloud ladders. The soldiers who died in battle were either lying or lying, some were lying through the chest with long arrows, some were nailed to the ground with spears, some were thrown into stones, some were crushed by pounding wood, and the worst was that some seriously injured soldiers were lying in the snow, but they were unable to die for a while, and they wailed.

After the Minzhou soldiers retreated for half an hour, a group of Yizhou soldiers rushed out of the castle, waving spears and swords, killing the opponent's wounded soldiers one by one, and then began to clean the battlefield.

At this time, in Zhang Aimin's camp, Zhang Aimin was excitedly watching the heavy snow all over the sky and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, God helps me, this heavy snow is coming, we retreat in advance, this snow can help us deceive each other for a while, come and send orders, let's go, leave this camp for Li Sizhi!"
