Twenty siege cars burned on the top, like twenty huge torches, the fire was fierce. The Si army on the city wall was originally suppressed by bows and arrows, but now they all came to the side of the city wall, looking at the large number of Hu soldiers under the city wall, and immediately began to attack.

The bows and arrows shot down like raindrops, and there were many refining bombs mixed in. They fell into the Hu army one by one, and many burning flowers exploded.

The Hu soldiers below were not prepared at all. They fell down one by one, raised their shields in a hurry, and were also ignited by refining bombs. The scene immediately fell one by one. The soldiers of the Si army seemed to be carrying out a massacre, and the Hu soldiers below were their target.

The female soldiers of the Wild Cherry Group were as good as men, and they pulled their bows and shot arrows, all of whom hit the key points of Hu Bing.

Peng Guangyi originally thought there was no problem with siege, but as soon as the soldiers on the siege car were eliminated, in a blink of an eye, the Hu army below was beaten down and fell down.

"Retreat! Come back!" Seeing the soldiers die, Peng Guangyi shouted anxiously.

However, there were only a few soldiers who ran back, and many of them were burned. Although the fire was extinguished, the pain made them tremble all over.

Peng Guangyi looked at the battlefield where Hu soldiers were covered with corpses, and thick smoke was burning everywhere. The corpses were ignited by oil refining bombs, emitting a burnt smell, which made people feel disgusted.

"Haha..." Peng Guangyi smelled the smell and couldn't help but turn his head and spit it. Even though he had experienced many battles, he couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He took a few breaths and felt sad and angry, shouting: "Oh my God! Why! Why is there a perverted person like Qian Xiaoxing!"

The siege car was still burning. As Lu Shengzhong said, Hu Jun made it happen and asked Si Jun to ignite. Hu Bing had already begun to retreat, and troops from all over the place gathered together again. Hu Bing looked at the corpse on the battlefield and bowed his head to mourn the deceased brothers.

"Oh..." Qian Xiaoxing looked at the corpses and sighed when he covered his nose. In the blink of an eye, so many lives were gone. Why is the killing endless? Why can't people live in peace with each other?

Hu Jun stood silently, and suddenly a soldier in the crowd raised a white flag and ran to the city, shouting: "General of the Si Jun, our general asked me to ask if he could come and take away the bodies of these brothers?"

Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and replied, "I agree. Let me tell you generals when I go back and tell you, it's better not to attack the city, otherwise more will die."

The soldier nodded and ran back. Soon, many Hu soldiers came to carry the bodies without weapons. Many of them were burned out of recognition, like coke, and were terrible.

Hu Suoyuan was beside Qian Xiaoxing and suggested: "Chief of Staff, the so-called soldiers are never tired of cheating. Do you want to kill another group of people if you lead them here?"

Qian Xiaoxing glared at Hu Suoyuan and cursed: "The soldiers who died in battle are glorious. Both their own people and their enemies are worthy of respect. In order to safeguard their honor, how can I do such a shameless thing?"

"Yes, I just said that our Chief of Staff is very kind and will not do such a thing." Hu Suoyuan quickly echoed.

The bodies on the battlefield were moved away one after another, leaving only a lot of blood and burnt and charred ground. The soldier holding the white flag ran over and shouted, "Our general asked me to thank General Qian, but our general said that this revenge must be avenged, and we also asked General Qian to take care of himself."

After the soldier said that, he clasped his fists and ran back. Hu Jun turned to retreat. Lu Shengzhong asked from the side: "The morale of the Hu Jun has been greatly affected. Should we attack now?"

Qian Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment and replied: "I think every Hu soldier is now occupied by hatred. Moreover, their retreat formation is not messy, and there is still some risk in fighting. We should just take it slowly and don't be too hasty."

"Yeah, listen to you." Lu Shengzhong nodded.

Peng Guangyi returned to the camp dejectedly, and did it all, picked up the cup on the table and drank it all. Even the cool tea could not rush away the anger in his heart.

Meng Zhongzhan did not go to the battlefield, but stayed in the camp. He knew that the battle was defeated and returned, so he immediately came over and asked when he saw Peng Guangyi, "How much is the loss?"

Peng Guangyi said with great pain: "Seven thousand, a total of seven thousand people."

"How much does Si Jun lose?" Meng Zhongzhan asked hurriedly.

Peng Guangyi sighed, "Oh, there will be no more than a hundred people."

"One hundred vs. seven thousand!" Meng Zhongzhan could not imagine that the loss was too different. Even if his Martial King's Army fought the best time, it would be a loss of 1 to 20, and Si Jun actually reached 1 to 70.

"Qian Xiaoxing is a monster. He actually made many wooden racks and placed them on the city wall, which were immediately taller than our siege car, and then..." Peng Guangyi was unwilling to say anything about the tragic scene of the killing after Qian Xiaoxing broke the siege car.

Seeing Peng Guangyi's expression, Meng Zhongzhan also understood the degree of tragicness and asked, "What should we do in the future?"

"Just don't let me attack the city, I'm afraid." Peng Guangyi replied immediately.

Peng Guangyi is also a veteran, and there are many cities under his command. This time he actually fought so hard that he dared not attack again. It was really rare. Meng Zhongzhan had to ask: "If we don't attack the city and just surround us, Qian Xiaoxing will come to harass him again. What should we do? Why don't we retreat?"

"Retreat?" Peng Guangyi thought for a while and replied: "At present, we still have 10,000 Martial King Division and 35,000 border troops, with more than twice the strength of Qian Xiaoxing. We have not avenged the dead soldiers. With such a shameful retreat, the morale of the troops will definitely be greatly affected. Moreover, I am really unwilling to accept it if I don't find any face."

Meng Zhongzhan said helplessly: "I am not willing to do it, but what else can I do!"

"Qian Xiaoxing defends Qingyu City to the death. If we don't come out to fight with us, we will definitely suffer a loss. If we can force them to come out. By the way, how about we go to fight Cangqiu Pass?" Peng Guangyi suddenly thought.

Meng Zhongzhan replied: "Qian Xiaoxing's main force is placed in Qingyu City. The force at Cangqiong Pass must not be large. You can fight. However, if we pass Qingyu City, our supply line will be broken. If there is any loss of food and grass, we will be done."

Although Meng Zhongzhan's analysis was correct, Peng Guangyi insisted: "If you don't have a risk, you can't force Qian Xiaoxing. If we go to attack Cangqiong Pass, Qian Xiaoxing will definitely leave Qingyu City to rescue him. If we ambush on the road, we will definitely win a great victory."

Meng Zhongzhan thought about it. As long as it was not a siege and mountain war, he had 10,000 Wu King Division and Qian Xiaoxing had only 20,000 troops, it would be easier to destroy them. So he replied: "Okay, then let's take a siege and attack aid."

"It's not too late. We'll leave tonight, otherwise we'll be harassed by Qian Xiaoxing for one night, which is really unbearable." Peng Guangyi suggested.

Meng Zhongzhan expressed his agreement, so the Hu army set out the camp and opened the way, and 45,000 troops headed towards Cangqiong Pass in a vast expanse.

In Qingyu City, Qian Xiaoxing was quite satisfied with the battle today and was giving everyone a reward for merit, especially the Ye Sakura Group. This time he performed very well and gave Shi Ye Sakura a second-class merit.

After a while, the news of Hu's retreat immediately reached Qian Xiaoxing. Qian Xiaoxing said in surprise: "What! Hu's retreat! Where are you going?"

Lu Shengzhong replied: "Let's go to Cangqiong Pass."

"Why did you go to Cangkong Pass? There is no way out to go deep into the hinterland. Did Hu Jun take a gamble?" Qian Xiaoxing asked in confusion.

Lu Shengzhong took it for granted and replied: "If I were Hu Jun, I would do this. I was harassed by you every day by Seventh Brother and I can't capture the city. I can only fight."

"That's it, it seems that I didn't do anything. The Hu army seems to have insufficient patience, but there are only two thousand defenders in Cangkong Pass. If so many Hu army attack, it will be very dangerous. Once Cangkong Pass is occupied by the Hu army, we can't even go back to Si Guo, and Xinghuo City will definitely be swept away." Qian Xiaoxing said worriedly.

Lu Shengzhong agreed: "Yes, Cangqiong Pass must not be lost, so what should we do?"

Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "It seems that Hu's army's attack on Cangqiong Pass is one purpose, and the other purpose is to lead us out to fight them. This tactic of arbitrage is still feasible, and we can't ignore it. Since the Hu army wants us to go out to fight, we will withdraw from Qingyu City to fight them."

Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing had made up his mind, Lu Shengzhong also supported him and said, "At present, there are more than 10,000 soldiers from Zheng Chang in Wujiao City, but they do not have weapons. If the Hu army wants to go to Cangqiong Pass, they will definitely pass by Wujiao City. What should those soldiers do?"

"This..." Qian Xiaoxing ignored Zheng Chang's more than 10,000 soldiers, thought for a while and said, "If they were asked to retreat to Cangqiuguan, if they counterattack and seize Cangqiuguan, it would be troublesome. I think they would still let them guard Wujiao City. They confiscated their weapons and placed them in Cangqiuguan, so we will return the weapons to them."

"With that being said, how can we inform you? Hu Jun must have intercepted him on the road ahead." Lu Shengzhong said.

Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. If you can't get through the road, just pass from the sky and immediately send someone to Wujiao City in a hot air balloon."

"Well, Seventh brother, why don't I go? I'm afraid that I can't coordinate if I send someone else to do it. And I can pop out with refining to help Zheng Chang guard Wujiao City. With the experience of guarding Qingyu City, it's okay to defend Wujiao City." Lu Shengzhong said.

Qian Xiaoxing was a little worried. He had always been working with Lu Shengzhong to fight the enemy. He felt confident. Now he was a little guilty about being separated. He said, "Brother Zhong, this is a big risk, so let's change to someone else."

Lu Shengzhong insisted: "There are risks everywhere in war. Seventh brother, if you want to fight against Hu Jun, it is also very risky. I am much safer than you who only guard Wujiao City."

"Then, okay." Qian Xiaoxing knew that one day he would be alone and could no longer rely on Lu Shengzhong, so he had to agree.

Taking advantage of the wind blowing south, Lu Shengzhong took the hot air balloon and waved to Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Seventh brother, although I understand you are a cautious person, I still hope you will be careful in everything. I will wait for news of your victory in Wujiao City."

Qian Xiaoxing held Lu Shengzhong's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely lead my troops to Wujiao City to meet you. This time, there are generals in front of the Hu army and pursuers behind them. I think they can't afford to leave."

Unlocking the rope, the hot air balloon slowly rose, Lu Shengzhong waved his hand and said, "Seventh brother, I wish you success!"

"I wish you peace along the way!"
