Yang Gong picked up the teacup, took a sip of the hot tea, and slowly said, ”

it’s not difficult to deal with the flying beast Army. Let Zhang Shen work with the experts in the Army and break them down one by one.

Ordinary soldiers and low-ranked martial artists could not do anything to the flying beast Army, but it was not difficult for a rank four expert who could ride the wind to deal with the flying beast Army.

Li Mubai glanced at his good friend as he reminded,

“There are also experts in the flying beast Army. Moreover, if we could think of such a simple solution, would the rebel army not think of it? Maybe it’s another trick to invite the Emperor into the pot.”

It was too dangerous for a rank-4 martial artist to leave the base camp and kill the enemy in the air alone. He might not be able to return.

“If only we had a flying beast Army.”

An aide sighed.

“Maybe we can ask the Barbarian monsters for help. We can ask the gold wood tribe’s winged spider to come to the South and help us.”

One of the advisors on the left had a thought, but this thought was quickly rejected.

“Your idea is no different from asking the Imperial court to conscript the red-tailed ardent Eagle. Furthermore, the North is 100000 li away from Qingzhou. How can we make it here?”

how about we ask sun Xuanji for help? he’s a third-grade Warlock. If he can be in charge of ‘transporting’ the goods, it might not be impossible.

“If sun Xuanji leaves, who will hold back Ji Xuan? Sigh, I didn’t think that there would be a young rank 3 martial artist in the Yunzhou rebel army.”

however, asking for help from the demon barbarians is indeed feasible. However, according to the procedure, we have to first submit a letter to the Imperial court, and then the Imperial court will send an envoy to the North. Even if the demon barbarians readily agree, it will be after spring when the metal wood tribe’s flying beast Army comes to the South to join the battle.

“Distant water can’t quench present thirst.”

“You’re too short-sighted. The flying beast Army was dismissed back then because it was peaceful and prosperous, and there was no use for it. However, after the battle of Jingshan city, you should have been more vigilant.”

“If Lord Wei was still here, he would have started to train a flying beast Army.”

“If only we had a flying beast Army.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Li Mubai knocked on the table and interrupted this helpless topic. He said in a deep voice,

“The eastern tomb has fallen. Under the leadership of sun Xuanji, the defending Army has turned the battle against the rebel army into a field battle. Wan County was surrounded, and the rebel army planned to use the scouting ability of the flying beast Army to besiege and attack reinforcements. This was a war of attrition, and there would not be any changes in the short term.

“But if we ignore them for a long time, Wan County will run out of food and ammunition sooner or later.”

He paused for a moment and looked around at the frowning aides.

“If we can’t think of a way to solve Wan County’s predicament, we have to think of a way to protect Songshan.”

The advisor beside him was stunned at first, then he reacted and looked at yang Gong, ”

“Boss, if I remember correctly, there hasn’t been any good news or requests for help from Songshan.”

Yang Gong nodded, ”

“Compared to Dongling and Wan County, Songshan County is less important. The rebel army of Yunzhou will definitely attack the first two places.”

Li Mubai mumbled,

“Songshan County has enough grain and with Zhu Jun and Erlang there, it should be able to hold. However, based on the current situation, the eastern tomb had been taken and Wan County was surrounded.

“The Yunzhou rebel Army’s next move will be Songshan.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Just as they were talking, an official hurriedly came in with a secret letter in his hand and said loudly, ”

“Chief administrator, there’s an urgent report from Songshan.”

“Bring it up,” yang Gong hurriedly said.

The clerk handed over the secret letter.

Yang Gong’s face darkened as he read it.

When li Mubai and the rest saw this, their hearts trembled.”What did the letter say?”

Yang Gong said word by word,

“Flying beast Army ambushed Songshan County, Erlang requests for help.”

After a pause, his face suddenly turned ugly.

“This is a letter from three days ago,”

It would take three days to travel from Songshan County to Qingzhou City.

……….

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Songshan County.

The sun was high up in the sky, but it did not bring any heat. Xu Erlang stood on the city wall and grabbed a handful of gravel mixed with the blood and smoke of the guards.

He looked around expressionlessly. The top of the city wall was full of bullet holes, and it was broken and mottled. Almost no place was intact.

The soldiers wrapped in sackcloth and fine cloth were scattered in twos and threes, and not a single person was intact.

The ones left on the city wall were the ones with the least injuries.

Songshan County’s original 2000 defenders were only left with 500. The rest had died in the brutal battle.

Three days had passed since the flying beast Army’s surprise attack.

The flying beast Army’s method of attack was very simple. They would throw cannonballs and kerosene cans at the top of the city wall. The flying beast Army would deal with the defenders in the same way as the defenders dealt with the enemy.

Simple as it was, it was deadly.

On the first day, nearly a thousand people were sacrificed. The city wall was riddled with holes and the bricks were burnt.

At dusk, the enemy retreated.

After such a day of despair, the morale of the defending Army had collapsed. They believed that the city would be broken tomorrow, and their hearts were wavering.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Xu Erlang sent people to collect bronze mirrors from house to house in the city overnight. He also called for craftsmen to improve the ballistae, transforming them into ballistae that could be used to fire to the air.

On the second day, the flying beast Army attacked again. The bronze mirrors that filled the top of the city wall reflected the sunlight, almost blinding the eyes of the cavalrymen and flying beasts.

The defending Army took the opportunity to shoot down 12 flying beasts, forcing the flying beast Army to retreat. The results of the battle were gratifying, and the morale of the defending Army was greatly boosted.

However, Xu Erlang knew that this move could only catch his opponent off guard. After dusk, the bronze mirror would no longer be of any use.

As such, after the enemy troops had retreated, he ordered the defending troops to insult Zhuo Haoran at the top of the city wall, especially the women of the enemy’s family. They scolded him for two hours, instigating Zhuo Haoran to lead his troops to attack the city. Once again, both sides suffered heavy losses.

Zhuo Haoran returned in defeat. After dusk, the flying beast Army retreated after a round of bombarding due to the heavy losses of the enemy’s infantry.

When night fell, Xu Erlang forcefully recruited the militia, gathering more than 1000 people. He ordered Zhu Jun and Miao Youfang to lead the troops and charge into the camp. In the end, only 300 people managed to escape.

At this point, the elites on both sides had almost been wiped out.

“I’ve already sent people to ask for help from the city of Qingzhou. Next, we’ll see whose reinforcements arrive first.”

Xu Erlang said in a low voice.

Beside him, Miao Youfang hadn’t laughed for three days. With a bow on his back, he gave a low ” mm “, but immediately felt that something was wrong. He frowned and said,

“Even though Zhuo Haoran’s Army has been completely annihilated and only has a few hundred men left, the flying beast Army’s formation is still intact. If they attack us every night, we’ll still be beaten. I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive …”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had understood something.

“If our reinforcements came first, Zhuo Haoran would be forced to retreat even if he took down Songshan County due to the lack of manpower. Songshan will still be ours.”

But the soldiers and the people in the city had become abandoned … Miao Youfang’s lips moved. if it really comes to that, I’ll take you away first.

Xu Erlang said softly, ”

“That would be so embarrassing. Big brother is guarding jadesun pass by himself. I, on the other hand, could only run away with my tail between my legs.”

Miao Youfang’s brows furrowed, and he thought, this is not up to you. If you don’t leave, I’ll knock you unconscious.

Xu Erlang laughed bitterly and said, ”

“I’m just sighing with emotion, I won’t be out of line. Victory and defeat are common in the military, and when Emperor Gaozu rose up in the past, there were also times when he lost again and again.

“If he really went against his principles, there wouldn’t be the current Da Feng. A man knows when to yield and when to stand tall.

but I can also understand those heroes in the history books who would rather die than retreat. The soldiers who fought with me are all left here, so how can I have the face to live? ”

As he said that, a large flock of birds appeared in the sky in the distance.

The flock of birds quickly approached, followed by heavy and loud roars.

Miao Youfang and Xu Erlang’s expressions changed drastically. The injured and sick who were resting on the city wall also noticed the movement on the horizon and stood up in horror.

They all looked at the Black Mass of flying beasts with despair in their eyes and pale faces.

“Again, again …”

“There are so many of them. How, how are we supposed to defend?”

Despair spread among the defenders.

“Lord Xu, another flying beast Army has arrived. We can’t hold Songshan County any longer, let’s retreat.”

A Centurion ran over in a panic.

When he said these words, he stared at Xu Erlang with a complicated expression in his eyes. There was pleading, despair, and hope for survival.

Xu Erlang’s eyes turned black and he had a splitting headache.

That’s right, in terms of reinforcements, what kind of troop could travel faster than the flying beast Army?

He even wanted to compete in speed with the Yunzhou Army. How could he compete?

“Bang!”

Xu Erlang punched the wall and said through gritted teeth, ”

“If we don’t get rid of the flying beast Army, we won’t be able to defend Qingzhou.”

He realized that these lightning-fast flying beast troops were one of the key factors in the battle of Qingzhou.

Miao Youfang took off the bow on his back, nocked an arrow, and pulled the string. He aimed at the flying beast Army in one go and said, ”

“Take Lord Xu and leave first. I’ll shoot down a few beasts first and earn enough.”

Coincidentally, the flying beast Army had already entered his shooting range.

Miao Youfang’s pupils contracted, and his vision was enlarged to the extreme. He aimed at the flying beast in the lead.

He was immediately stunned because this flying beast Army was different from the one that had attacked him before.

The flying beast of the Yunzhou rebel army was a giant red Bird. Its body was covered in beautiful feathers of fire.

The monsters that the flying beast Army was riding on had bodies covered in black scales. They had long necks and a slender body. They were shaped like lizards, and they were not flapping their wings but membrane wings.

In addition, the Knights riding the flying beasts were not soldiers wearing armor, but a group of people wearing strange clothes, even wearing animal skin clothes.

On the back of the leading flying beast sat a dark-skinned man in blue and green clothes. His hair was naturally curly, and he was waving his arms at the people on the city wall with a smile on his face, as if he was greeting them warmly.

Miao Youfang let out an “eh” and released the bowstring.

“What’s the matter?”

Xu Erlang’s eyesight was not as good as the warrior’s, so he frowned and asked when he saw this.

Miao Youfang replied with confusion, ”

“There’s something strange about this group of people,”
