Four Seas Cloud Moon

Liu Hongqing had not rested for two days and one night. The Moon God Kingdom sent out 300,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Shicheng County. The general of the Moon God Kingdom was called Li Bufan. As his name suggests, he was an extraordinary general. Liu Hongqing had fought with him many times with both sides having won and lost. But this time, Liu Hongqing's garrison had only 30,000 troops, while Li Bufan had 300,000.

Liu Hongqing decisively abandoned the border and retreated to Shicheng County. Together with the garrison of Shicheng County, there were 35,000 people in total! Liu Hongqing did not dare to neglect it. One wrong move would lead to a complete loss!

Fifty thousand people defended the city, and Li Bufan was unable to break through it for a while! Li Bufan took turns attacking the city like a madman, day and night! This surprised Liu Hongqing!

The sky was gloomy and it was drizzling. There were corpses everywhere under the city wall!

It's been a month, and we're not doing well here either, having lost over 8,000 men. We were able to withstand so many attacks thanks to the crossbows!

Because of the rain, Lu Xiaotian sent 50,000 people to move slowly! Just arrived at Jiqing Pass.

Liu Hongqing was still sleeping when someone came to report,

Report, report to the general, General Sun Tao opened the city gate and killed people out, what?

Quick, get on the wall.

Report, General, the enemy is attacking!

Retreat, retreat quickly,

Liu Hongqing led more than 20,000 people to fight and retreat to Xijing County. As soon as they entered the city, the gate was closed and a sign of no fighting was hung.

Then they called in General Sun Tao, dismissed him from his post as General of Shicheng County, and made him feed horses! He was also beaten with fifty military sticks!

After the fight, he was carried away! Li Bufan got the news and felt that the opportunity had come to incite General Sun Tao to rebel!

He sent someone to contact Sun Tao and promised that if he could capture Xijing County, he would make Sun Tao the county magistrate and also gave him a box of gold, silver and jewelry!

Sun Tao said that he had some trustworthy brothers, and tomorrow night when they raised fire as a signal, he would open the city gate and welcome General Li into the city!

Hearing that there was an insider, General Li Bufan was overjoyed! The Star God Kingdom is mine!

Not only did Sun Tao surrender himself, he also instigated Qian Feihu to rebel. At three o'clock in the morning, Li Bufan gathered a large army and waited at the gate. There was a torch on the city wall that circled three times to the left and three times to the right. Then, the city gate was opened!

Kill, kill! Li Bufan took the lead and rushed over! Qian Feihu led his men to hunt down Liu Hongqing!

At this time, Liu Hongqing had less than 20,000 people left and ran towards Jiqing Pass!

Li Bufan conquered two counties in ten days, and immediately appointed Sun Tao as the governor of Xijing County and Qian Feihu as the deputy governor!

According to the report from the scouts, there are not many troops guarding Jiqing Pass, and the leader of the reinforcements is fighting with Liu Hongqing for military power!

This is a good opportunity, Li Bufan naturally can not let it go. Liu Hongqing met someone! Lu Xiaotian,!

It turned out that Lu Xiaotian had come here secretly. After meeting Lu Xiaotian, Liu Hongqing told Lu Xiaotian what had happened in the past month!

It turns out that Liu Hongqing's defeat and loss of the city were intentional. It was easy to defeat Li Bufan, but it was difficult to annihilate the enemy army. Only in this way could they never return!

Now Lu Xiaotian has an army of 70,000, and Li Bufan's side suffered few casualties. Together with the surrendered Sun Tao and Qian Feihu, there are also 280,000 to 290,000 people!

There was a reason why Lu Xiaotian chose Jiqing Pass for the decisive battle, because there was a river in Jiqing Pass that was wider than the moat.

At Li Bufan's command, 50,000 men attacked the city. Rolling logs, boulders, bows and arrows, and crossbows were their deadly weapons! The enemy charged three times, and was repelled three times, resulting in the loss of over 10,000 men!

Li Bufan didn't understand why the defenders of Jiqing Pass were so desperate. The soldiers were still the same soldiers, and the generals were still the same generals! Another 50,000 people continued to attack the city, but they were still pushed back!

Li Bufan was so angry that he cried out, and immediately ordered to divide into four teams, each with 70,000 people, to take turns attacking the city.

That night, Lu Xiaotian ordered people to set up dozens of large vats on the city wall, filled with kerosene, and burning fire underneath!

They also sent people to the upper reaches of the river, using the signal of attacking the city as a signal to pour kerosene into the river. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for Li Bufan!

Li Bufan did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He suffered heavy losses for seven consecutive days. This time, he ordered that except for the team around him, the remaining three teams would all cross the river. One team would be the main attacking team, while two teams would supervise the battle. After two hours, the other team would take over the attack.

The command flags were waving, and the order was given to attack the city directly. The shouts and cries of killing were endless!

Rolling logs, stones, and arrows rained down from the sky like a torrential rain! The first group retreated and the second group took over, and the city walls were also replaced by one group after another!

During the siege, the river water became turbid, but no one cared. The second group retreated and the third group took over. This group was the fresh force, like wolves and tigers, setting up ladders and climbing up.

At Liu Hongqing's command, dozens of large vats filled with kerosene that were still boiling were poured out all at once!

The boiling kerosene poured down, scalding the soldiers and making them scream. They couldn't hide, and they couldn't run! The ground beneath the city wall was covered in kerosene, but the attacking soldiers, undaunted by the thought of death, set up ladders and continued to climb!

Fire rockets, not too many, ignited the kerosene below the city walls, and the soldiers who had climbed halfway were burned down, and the ladders were completely burned! The soldiers on fire ran back, and with the kerosene, some had no way to escape!

Li Bufan jumped up in anger, gritting his teeth and saying, "Retreat." The order had barely been given, and before it could be passed on, the soldiers carrying fire jumped directly into the moat to put out the fire. The moat was now filled with kerosene, which was light and floated on the water. When it came into contact with open flames, it was like a fire dragon, blocking the retreat. The front fled back, and those behind did not dare to stop them. Thousands of firemen ran back, bumping into, trampling, and burning to death. Not a single survivor remained from the three teams of 210,000 people.

Liu Hongqing's heart was trembling as he watched from the city wall. More than 200,000 people just disappeared like that?

Why are you so distressed? Lu Xiaotian asked, and Liu Hongqing quickly saluted!

Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. If you let these 200,000 people enter the city, will the soldiers, the people and the beautiful rivers and mountains behind you still be able to exist?

Yes, Liu Hongqing bowed again and kept in mind the teachings of King Zhenbei!

The fire burned until the next day, and the ground was covered with charred bodies, filled with a foul odor! The river was full of corpses. The soldiers on the upper reaches opened the river bank, and the flood washed the riverbed, washing away most of the bodies!

Li Bufan was completely defeated this time. Out of the 300,000 troops, only more than 70,000 were left. He looked at Ji Qing with reluctance and couldn't believe it!

The city gates were wide open, and Lu Xiaotian rushed to the front. Beside him were the assassination organization led by Ji Zeming, as well as people from the Fengshen Sect, all of whom had extremely high martial arts skills.

Li Bufan saw the cavalry rushing out and was immediately furious. He went to meet the enemy and made sure they could not go back! Once the two armies clashed, things were different. These cavalry were unstoppable, and with Lu Xiaotian in the front, the people behind them were even more desperate to rush forward!

The infantry behind the cavalry were all very spirited and ran faster than the cavalry! The King of Zhenbei didn't abandon us! Not only did he not abandon us, he rushed to the front!

Kill the invaders and return my home! Kill the invaders and return my home!
